I'm thankful to Anthony (and Opie) for giving Patrice O'neal the airtime he deserved, and for the hundreds of hours i get to enjoy almost a decade after he died.
I ALWAYS say this! ... no matter what those two get into after the show has ended, that show gave him a bigger platform than anything else going.. so I’m forever grateful to those guys for that.👏🏾 #BlackPhillipShow
prob thank Jim Norton more than anyone. Opie was terrified when Patrice was there as he knew someone like Patrice didn't care about his power. So Opie kissed Patrice's ass shamelessly
They definitely figured something out by making it the “comedian hangout”. O and A was 100% something else, and it’s a shame there won’t be another like it.
Men NEED this! Listening to those old shows reminds me of sitting around with college buddies or any group of guys just burning each other and laughing our asses off
Opie hated the comedian taking over the show. He used to make them come in earlier just to wait outside and resented being out of his element as a shock jock.
@@Ray_D_Tutto he definitely just wasn’t comfortable being the “regular” guy. Cumia is a funny dude and would add to comedians bits/rants, Ope couldn’t ever and his jealousy got the best of him.
Yea dude. Sucks we couldn’t see how his ideas ultimately evolved. I started listening to him when I was 25. Now that I’m 30 and starting to “see the world for what it really is” so to speak, he was really onto something. Keep ur pimp hand strong brother
His video on here about Hollywood is probably the most real shit ever spoken about the business by somebody close to the “beast”. I recommend it to everybody I know that listens to podcasts and stuff like that on their drives or can listen to stuff like that at work. It’s truly amazing. He also called the cancel culture bs that has now crippled comedy a mere decade later after his passing. He was the closest I’ve seen to a real life prophet.
I'm 36 and from Ireland so of course I only got to know O&A real Patrice from videos. I have watched EVERYTHING, from Sex for Sam, the cake stomp, tons of Ramones, The Tony Danza thing, Laci Peterson, Uncle Paul, Jim Philips Pest War... Everything...i wish i had been there st the time like you lads but hey... Isn't it a brilliant thing we can find all this magic on the Internet and have a chat with each other? Thsts what the net is all about. Seriously lads, if you never had a chance, look up the whole Tony Danza saga... It is unbelievable radio! Much respect and good vibes from 🇮🇪 may you have many many hours of o&a and JRE podcast fun ahead!
Agreed, especially when most successful people would distance themselves from guy's like Anthony and certainly wouldn't give a podcast like LOS any acknowledgment on their platform!!! Fair play to Joe!!!
Me too. I was just listening to this one with Rich Vos and Bob Kelly this morning where they were talking about that dude that stole a thousand dollars from Anthony's party. Fucking nonstop assault the whole time. Hilarious. Man I miss The Opie and Anthony Show ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4MYD4_Ik0pw.html
Same, I’ve been going through the Antholini Saga where Anthony is dating this traffic girl on their local news station named Jill Nicolini. Some of the greatest 15 hours of radio to ever air. It’s one of the few times that Anthony is the one getting roasted. Every regular comedian that showed up on O&A like Quinn, Burr, Vos, O’Neal, Dice. Everyone was at the top of their game during Antholini, even Opie dropped a funny line or two.
I lost count of how many times I've been through Weston4020's channel and I don't remember this line but it oozes Patrice. Ant really has the quickest comedic mind in the business. And the diversity in his responses is unreal, he carried that show for years.
Joe calling Anthony the founder and godfather of podcasts is pretty amazing. I'm happy I recently found him, and he's got Gavin as a co host!!! it's magic!
Ant & Gav need to be full time co-hosts together. I've binged basically every single Compound Censored clip on YT and all of them are hilarious. They just have incredible chemistry together.
Patrice O'neal Greatest Laugh Ever, I replay it every few months. It honestly completely neutralizes my opinion of Opie now, I just feel bad for the guy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r6PCXF2NfMg.html
"The funniest stand up comedian thats not doing stand up" according to Patrice Oneal, or something like that. I forgot his exact quote. Those two were so funny together along with lil yimmy
Anthony cumia hands down is the funniest on radio personalities I have ever heard , he is witty , smart , he gives 0 fucks ! His ability to do voices on the spot is so entertaining. Dude is truly hilarious
Opie and Anthony introduced Jim Norton, Bill Burr, Patrice O’Neal and I can’t forget Rich Vos (slobbering on the mic with his mispronounced words😂) to the world! They were the last generation of great comics who were unfiltered, uncensored who were genuine friends. They had honest conversations about race, politics and world events. There wasn’t a format, it was just open dialogue. I listen to them daily.
I believe it was sacrificing white virgins, but yeah, the absolute dream show would be Ant, Patrice, Louis and Jimmy. No holds barred, no apologies and no regrets, just funny.
@@ARUCARDFTEPES yeah i think you're right.. i mean i really wonder how unapologetic they were and how Cumia always said that why radio has to be nice and the way they made fun of fake celebs and unfunny radio jocks.. "nooootttt funnnyyyy" LMAO
@@Thatninetykid Patrice kind of coined that term, he did a bit on O&A about a Karen telling her big black lady co-worker about how management was gonna make everybody work on Saturday. Or something along those lines. It's out there...
Anthony is one of the last good radio guys of this century. Such brilliant story telling and never skips a beat. The OnA show helped soooo many of the best east coast comedians of today and don’t get the recognition for it.
No one mentions Louis CK. Some of the best content would be made whenever he came in. Louis is so fkn funny and quick with his remarks and was so great at sparing with everyone, including Patrice I thought. We really need Louis back, the dudes a genius
Even though he sucks now and is a complete sellout / hypocrite, Jim Jefferies was great on O&A too. The episode of him against Justine Joli is classic.
Ant, Rich Vos, Jim Norton, Patrice O Neal, Bobby, Collin Quinn, Jim Florentine, Otto, Dice etc so many funny comedians and moments on O&A definitely my favorite podcast/ radio show ever
Anthony is being way too humble and selfless here. He was funnier than most of the comedians and carried that show every day. The speed of his witty mind is unpresedented.
100% this. Some of his lines are so quick it's almost unbelievable. Jimmy had a few lightning fast shots as well but Ant, despite not being a comedian, was almost always the funniest and most quick-witted person on the show.
One thing you always had to give Anthony credit for us he never let his ego stop other people from being funny. He's telling the truth. They went with it. I can't honestly say the same for Greg because sometimes he would use the ole "gotta keep the show moving" excuse to stop the fun because felt left out or outshined. Just being honest.
Through Anthony being on here on Joe Rogan in 2014 I discovered who and what Opie and Anthony was. Being from England I was able to trawl through countless hours of O and A material and it's quite possibly my favorite show ever and I wish more people from the UK knew about this cause there's nothing even close to what it was here.
Started listening in 2019 and have struggled to find anything that hits the spot the same. The bonfire with Dan Soder and big Jay Oakerson is worth the listen as well.
Opie and Anthony from roughly 2012 through 2016 was epic. I had a long commute in that time span and nearly every day was so incredibly funny that it seemed impossible that they could top it from one day to the next -- and they did. Patrice O'Neal and Jim Norton as a nearly constant presence was genius. Anthony is funny as hell. Opie was the straight man who, before he started to get insecure, played the role to perfection. And the lineup of casual friends they had was incredible: Louis CK, Bill Burr, Ricky Gervais, you name it. These guys would just come in and hang out before they become international superstars. There are thousands of hours of golden material on the internet funnier than any comedy show you could pay for.
@@natethegreat7821 lolol great sponge reference, honestly i was not critiquing but thought you misspelled old dopie’s name as a subtle dig so I gotta give props, my squidward brethren
Joe talks about milo getting cancelled later. Joe, you cancelled milo. You removed the episode. Joe: "hes inmate one from the unexpected covid release"
@@conversationstranglersteve9873 I saw at least 2 AJ ones on the Spotify list a couple days ago when Cumia's first appeared...they appear to still be available.
one of my favourite "in the barrel" moment was when Opie opened his mouth about breaking his nose body surfing. The next 20min of radio was absolute gold, i'm sure Opie went home and cried.
I loved when Patrice shoved Nopie in the barrel for a whole episode when he admitted he ordered a "Bikini-Tini" Martini infront of his in laws while on vacation with them.
Anthony is what makes me miss about joe on RU-vid. He's so interesting and polirizing and opinionated and had a IDGAF attitude that I love reading people comment s about it
i love this fucken community 💯 the O&A show was just a dope hang out spot, felt like you were just talking shit with your friends listening to Anthony brings back the nostalgia of the great mid 2000's O&A shows and of course memories of Patrice, possibly the realest dude ever... RIP Patreeky 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Still listen to old Opie & Anthony everyday at work. Funny people (except Opie) giving their honest opinions. There will never be another show like it.
Very true.i been a fan of o and a since 2000.for a very edgy show I always knew that one day the show would blow up.around 2012 or 2011 I can see that whole cancel culture thing coming a mile away.then when anthony got fired I knew there would never be a honest more funny show than opie and Anthony rip.
Opie was the ring leader. He would be the straight guy that would set up the interactions. He was more important to the show than he gets credit for. But seems like he got jealous that he often got upstaged by Anthony, Jimmy, & the comic guests.
@@KM-ye3ij Opie & Anthony > Jim & Sam and Anthony Cumia Show. Opie is much maligned but Opie, Anthony, & Jim were at their best together. That is a fact. Quit hatin'.
He's older than the teachers and he makes more money than the whole school. He's an alcoholic. He's Anthony. Anyway, I had Spotify on my new phone but never used it until I realised Ant was back on Rogan.
I wouldn't say better, but Louis Ck's appearances were just as funny, especially those call in shows. I think he just gets overlooked sometimes because he wasn't on as much as Patrice.
I like that Anthony after years of “radio wars” gives Howard his due respect. I was always a Howard guy so I never gave O & A a chance. I probably would have enjoyed it. Anthony is a funny dude
That was always Opie. Anthony was a huge Howard fan and said so on the show numerous times. I listened to both and you absolutely missed out, O&A at that time were lightyears ahead of Howard and Artie was the only thing that hid that fact to his listeners.
@@joshmurray1261 i.think the O and A rivalry they had really messed with different comics availability to each show. Like Norm Macdonald didn't really go on O and A. I wonder how much Howard and the o and a beef had to do with that. Just like the lack of videos of Patrice, bill burr and other comics at howard stern.
Nothing beats classic O&A. Endlessly re-listenable. So amazing there was a crew of brilliant East coast comics who didn’t do rehearsed bits and who didn’t worry about “branding” or having a persona. Just quick-witted ball busters.
Love how Rogan gives kudos to the O&A show and for it's influence on his own show. Some comics who made their bones on that show distanced themselves from it.
Best memory of the show was Patrices laugh during the up & down game with Bobo. Big Jay Oakerson said something to Bobo like “tell the girls you’ve got a dick that made a black man cry”. That was a great show 😂
O&A was the best radio ever. I remember because they were on in the evening for the drive home when it really counted. There was nothing better than laughing my ass off on the drive home after a completely shitty day at work. Many time I was so happy I had to stop for a drink. They were fantastic. When they were the one and only to have the "stinky cam". Many times when something completely crazy or obscene was going on in the studio they were showing it on the stinky cam. Howard the self proclaimed king of media didn't even think of that. Here's to you O&A ....I wish your show was still on and Howard was gone.
Anthony learned to code to make the "Instant Feedback" HTML app that let any fan send instant messages to the studio. Anthony would read it out and give you credit every time he read one of listeners messages that made him laugh, I know for a fact the Nopester used to get some if not most of his good lines from listeners sending in instant feedback. He stole two of mine in one episode.
We rented a car while on vacation just as O&A hit XM. My wife and I were crying from laughing our whole trip and I had to get an XM radio when I got back so I could listen. What a great run those guys had.
Louis Beans. One of the Greatest Barrel Episode. Whenever Vos, Bobby, Colin, Patrice, Norton, CK, Dipaolo, even Rednuts were together you know Vos was gonna get it.
I’ve been listening to RU-vid O&A clips almost everyday for the past 10 years and I still find stuff I haven’t heard before. Crazy how well preserved it is. It helps that, unlike Stern, they never attacked uploaders and let the show spread by word of mouth.
Greatest radio show of all time. My dad turned me on to them 2 years ago after having listened to them working in a machine shop when I was a kid. Now Im 22 and I listen at work everyday.
Joe you will go down in history as the creator/chief witness of the "Baby Bird". I heard it live and I still cry laughing listening to it all these years later!
Haven't seen joe have this much respect for a guest in a long time. You can see O and A show really inspired him. Anthony Cumia is a class act for raising up sterns name even though they are competitors in the same market. So under rated. Everyone on the show. Tough job.
