I remember my friend's stepdad bringing us to Red Sox games back in '98 and 99 when we were in middle school, and he would always be listening to this radio show in the afternoon on the way to Fenway, we lived in Manchester New Hampshire so it was like a 45-minute drive and I used to wonder who it was, then 7 years later while I was working in college overnight delivering newspapers I was listening to Opie and Anthony on XM radio. I realized early on that those were the same guys I was listening to on WAAF when I was a kid. So cool how everything comes full circle like that.
Just imagine how this would have took off today with social media freaking out. Someone really needs to take up the O and A mantle and run with these pranks in 2019. Holy moly.
We have all become so numb to "fake news" at this point, I dont think many folks would fall for it. Especially when everything is a tweet away from being debunked, for better or worse
33:35 Them playing “I Lie In The Bed I Make” during the final break before they were busted for the joke was oddly fitting in hindsight given that they were fired for this
What is the name of the song that they are talking over in the background during the first 3 minutes? Is it a generic instrumental/loop or a specific song?
1998 was the best year of my life up until 2017 (the year my daughter was born) I was in 8th grade, I had just DOMINATED the class now known as “Supermini” up here in the New England Motocross scene, I was starting to move up to the 125 class on 125 so hot that to this day, not 1 250F has ever been able to stick with me while riding it...
Both opie and especially anthony try to play this off as if thus was them poking fun at "hack radio" they are both, full of shit....this was serious and also an amazing prank.
Jimmy Jamestown Massacre I didn't think it called for; "Jesus Christ on a stripper pole, Opie sounds like Ben from Dr. Katz!" It was much more subdued; kinda like, oh wow that's a thing... Huh, I guess I should go check out what else is on YouScrew.
