Anthony Cumia & Jim Norton react to Gregg "Opie" Hughes comments. 

YES!!!!!

You do need a "straight" though. A skeleton of the beast, for a radio show anyway. I'd love that trio for a podcast. Stupid Colin Quinn needs to make his Tough Crowd-ish podcast.

And society would try and cancel Patrice.....but Patrice is bigger than society. He wouldn't even acknowledge it cuz he is that F'N Good! Anthony would also teach Norton how to use guns thus leading to Nortons new character Jim "Slick" Johnson - a gun toting homo that likes guys n guys! 🤷‍♂️

Wow. That would be THE show of shows.

also bill burr never married to become woke and still frequent Anthony and Jimmy show

"need more funny"

have you watched "nopie and anthony" on youtube? someone cut him out of a lot of episodes lmao

Or the cricket sounds

How many Larry King's need to call in asking if Opie's funny? Bouns points if they call in from heaven.

Agreed

Perfect.

Nice!

Yeah no-one ever talks about all the shit Opie did to run the show like the board or run the off radio stuff that shows need not to mention Opie found ant and jimmy and gave them their shot I get that he was never that funny but he kept the show together for over a decade

dale r yeah the poor baby became a spectator on “my ooowwwwn shooooowwww”

Jessie B I cant believe you actually believe that. Opie lucked his way out of spinning records for a living

Jessie B Opie found Norton? He was a comedian for a long time before Opie started stepping on his jokes.

I would love to have Opie's job, sit back, push a button or 2 and make millions.

Laugh my mother fuckin ass off hard!!!! Good one "Man in Water"! 😆

That boy ain't right

Eat your gristle Bobby

Lmao true. Excellent observation 😆😆

At this rate, he looks closer to Cotton.

It’s funny you mention the narcissistic parent thing because Opie’s mom was one. I have heard him on the show talk about her so much and what she did or how she made everything about her. It’s so blatantly obvious he has the same issues and did the same thing to everyone around him. How he can be aware of all his mother’s issues and get therapy and still be that unaware of his mental problems shows what dolt he is.

As a child of a borderline parent, you are 100% on this. He literally became his mother who he complained about on air.

cluster b personnality disorder obviously

Imagine actually being his wife or his kid? Nightmare.

There is always 2 narcissists. And they call each other that.

Slightly more lucrative.

Not really - Anthony retained all of his friends and Gregg is disliked even more so. In short, your statement is stupid.

PGH short as your peckah you pog

Just a matter of time until it's the Jim and Ant show. Sam was more likeable dealing with wrestlers and messing with Nancy grace than he is now anyways

Sirus sucks for not letting Ant on the J&S show

Haven't heard Jimmy bust a real gut in a long time. Anthony is his zen.....mmmmmmmmannnnnnn

Makes you wonder where the problem was...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... XD

Absolutely. I never listened to two guys I've never met make me belly laugh....authentic laughter as much as these two.

It's how it just kind of reflexively spits out, like some sympathetic nervous reaction that taps into genius.

@Blake Ranew Wow, original🙄. Way to parrot exactly what Norton has said about Anthony. And that's a mediocre line at best.

@PGH Norton must not agree. He had the chance to work with Anthony again but chose to sell out and do absolutely horrible radio with Sam Roberts. I can't blame him though, who would want to be on this abysmal network? Two guys that were too stupid to realize how good they had it.

@@tuco1121 ahahaha

🤣😆😂

Someone pointed this out in another video and it made a lot of sense. Opie would always participate with the comedians, throwing out jabs here and there. But the instant he got one back, he would go "whoa, hey, easy there." After a while, the comedians, as well as Anthony and Jim, would catch on that he could dish it, but not take it, ruining the flow and the funny. One by one, Anthony, Jim and the other comedians stopped responding to his jabs, unless it was one of the very rare brilliant lines, and Opie got jealous that he wasn't being included any more.

Opie sucks

Every Time he got a laugh he would drive it into the ground until he ruined the moment. Most of his laughs were lines taken from paltalk

​@@deathmetal8259That is 100% spot on. He was never going to be as funny as Jimmy or Ant. But in rare cases, he would actually be pretty entertaining in his own way. Not in the lightning quick brilliant manner that Jimmy or Ant, or the regular comedians were. But the one episode I can think of was the day they did the baby diaper mustache. And it wasn't even the bit itself. Actually the bit at the end when he shoved Rich's shit diaper on his face was the least funniest part. But that whole show from start to finish- Opie had a good energy about him. No greggshells, or pissed mist. He was just being silly and loose.

​@@Gecko....Yeah he would sometimes get one good line in, and would just repeat it over and over, till it went from kind of funny to just gross. And his delivery was horrid. I'm still debating in my head weather Steven S from Bayshore was just that unfunny and overrated, or it just came off that way because it was Opie reading his lines. (Probably a bit of both, never found Steven S funny- Pat from Moonachie was 10x funnier.)

He thought he was the star. Its just that simple. He couldn't realize that his rise was based on merits he earned as a radio host. Not as a comedian. Rather than doing his job and work to become a better host because that's your role. Instead, he became an insecure shell of a person that was literally was trying to pull the handbrake on big laughs or riffs so he could get a chance to chime in or have some shit caller on the air that just halts all laughter.

@delreydavid (=

If he took his place as an on air producer it would have been epic.

@mshesh16 so they only had 15 great shows in 20 years ?

@@bennyhath1789 it's funny, I started the whole "Opie Meter", to grade him not in comparison to jimmy and ant but him maximizing the straight man role. But it's amazing how often he failed even at that. His moment in taking joke well happened a single time, and it was the "paralyzed Opie" bit

A. Graham BRILLIANT!

That would take 15 years

It was done already by Chip.

I would love to watch that

They definitely wouldn't do it, they don't usually like bringing up Opie for the most part and usually only do so when Opie does or says something stupid on twitter. They pretty much said everything they needed to say in this video, no need to kick a hole when he's down

Oh poor you!

We know you're in here gregory

Of course he’s not, he “has his people” who will relay the transcripts to him verbatim

Gregg "knows how to read people". He "studied this shit". Remember, when people say they don't care or pay attention they really do. It's Greggology 101.

@K W I agree...reach out for a shotgun.

Opie reads all his comments too. I’m fairly certain he deleted one of mine. It’s a sad state of affairs really, getting ~5000 views and still having the nerve to be an egomaniac about how he carried the show. But deep down he knows the truth really, he just can’t admit it to himself since he’s in his 50s now. To admit that he’s been completely wrong all these years would be a devestation.

I agree. Opie knew what we were all thinking -- laughing is boring and annoying. Great point, Pogo!

@Jade Runner absolutely. Plus it's totally icky too. Yeghcck!

I can see why Opie would think that way but he had is place as a more sincere voice of reason at times.

Ended up? He really doesn't realize that's all he ever was? Edit: fewchative.

@Jade Runner yeah def not the right word. It's what Ant said, Ope is the straight man who keeps the show rolling. It's what he was good at

Patrice would not have done shit.

@@Nellsbells79 yeah opie blew it. He couldn't handle him amd Ant do their thing instead he turned into a bitch apparently and sabotaged the show. Really is a shame. Back in the early 2000's when they were on ordinary radio they were the the best show ever!!!

Yeah it was! I would listen to them on the way home from work and there were times where I would swerve on the highway, because I was laughing so hard! When Ant did Tom Brokaw taking Cipro to protect himself from Anthrax, I was CRYING laughing!

Absolutely...listened from '99 until about 2002 when I lived in NY. Best radio ever created

Fuck yea it was

@bigfatlkj When?

Marquis Harris only if you knew the truth.

Opie was being the 90s era Puff Daddy of the show. Instead of just playing his role and letting the talent do their thing, he wanted to keep inserting himself into the picture. It was his show and he assembled a great cast, just sit back and let greatness happen.

R A D I O *shoooooooow*

Opie does that stupid voice 99% of the time now. It's unlistenable. It's completely insane that he would mock Jimmy for doing characters AS HE'S SPEAKING IN HIS RETARDED CHARACTER VOICE. He's the least self aware person ever born. Between the voices and his high pitch screeching, he's worse than fucking Pettengill.

Nick DiPaolo and Patrice or DiPaolo and bill Burr are pretty good.

Jim Breuer and Jay Mohr were very funny on O&A

@@timetowakeup6302agreed

Some of the best shows that give me belly aches to this day are the nopie shows

Opie spent 20 years being that guy that everyone hated.. destroyed gifts guests would bring in.. being cruel to people at their most vulnerable moments.. he prided himself on it.. now hes confused why people dont like him.

I never liked Opie, but I did give him credit for all that he did for the show. I just think he couldn't handle being around people that are so much smarter, and funnier than he is, he lost all confidence.

I think the Louis CK appearances are great examples of when Opie stayed mostly quiet, knew when to laugh, and probed with questions at the right moment to move the conversation along. But that was far from his regular behavior

@@sca8217 thanks for the super specific details, Opie's 8th alternate YT account.

@Jj Dillon 100%

I'm glad someone else sees Opie in this light too. Vitriol that the fanbase has for him aside, Opie always struck me as a mainstream morning DJ who just so happened to passively stumble into shock humor when he started working with Ant, without understanding how exactly dark humor works or what makes it funny. Ant and Jim knew how to construct a well-written or timed joke around something shocking whereas Opie seemed to think that something shocking or mean-spirited automatically equaled being funny, hence doing incredibly stupid shit like fondling Stalker Patti, throwing poker chips at someone, stomping on a homeless person's food, etc. He did something fucked up _in lieu_ of telling a joke. You're also right in that when Opie wasn't so hellbent on derailing the show with calls or soundboard clips, he could very well add to the dynamic of the show. Case in point: that whole bit dedicated to shitting on Live at Club Piscopo, which remains my favorite O&A segment of all time. He let Ant, Jim, and Florentine work their magic, he was a great sarcastic straightman to Ant's rage, he threw in a few legitimately funny quips, never went to the phones, rarely went to the soundboard. Overall, he was in rare form that day. In a perfect world, if Opie could've just set his ego aside (maybe even allowed himself to be the butt of the joke like And and Jim did) he could've played the part of the straight-laced, deadpan, "radio veteran who can't believe what he's hearing" pretty well. What we got instead was a bitter, jealous, pompous, passive-aggressive twat who didn't know a good thing until he lost it.

Opie sucks !

Have you heard him recently? Opie is now claiming to be a Feminist! 🤣

Honestly after Patrice passed is when things started going downhill for O&A

I don’t know... they’ve been around him for years, why wouldn’t they have changed then ?
