Speaking of Danny I recently tried to watch an old video that popped up with the whole saga of him losing to an intern at Guitar Hero, but I couldn't even get through the first 5 minutes of the set up because of how much Anthony was ball-washing Danny any time someone started to give him shit. It starts with Anthony talking about Danny playing at his house and "how much he shreds" and he repeats that about 10 times while the others are bringing up the time Danny failed to show off in front of Slash and he was crying about the tv and sound having a delay. Was Danny really that much of a sensitive bitch that one of the multimillionaire radio hosts has to constantly jump in and defend him from even interns? And what was the deal with that anyways? I know he was Ant's friend/drinking pal at the time, but something else fucked up had to be going on between them.

In general I find I have a hard time trying to listen to old O&A clips. Maybe I'm picking the wrong eras or it's something to do with how I know they all turned out in the future that I can't tolerate them for shorter and shorter periods. This was one of the rare times Ant annoyed me into rage quitting but usually it's Jimmy getting horny over any woman that gets brought up when I know he's a fruit getting fucked by a tranny, or Opie turning Jocktobers into bragging about how great him/they are, bitching about management regardless of the topic, or constantly repeating himself during staff fights because everyone else is trying to make jokes but Opie wants to have a serious bitch session and tell interns/producers how the show doesn't need them because they were 5 minutes late. It's why I switched to Ron and Fez clips years ago, but even that is annoying me hearing the same bits over and over, I feel like I can't listen to anything any more.

Partially, it's the benefit of hindsight. Now that we now how fucking annoying everyone is, going back, we can pick up on the subltities that flew over our head in the past.

The bigger part of it really, is that the Sirius XM era fucking sucked. Sure, Patrice would come on and be hilarious. There would be a good bit here and there, but the move to Sirius was when they started phoning it in and got lazy. It was a loooooong slow slide down, and Sam and Danny were the harbingers of that end.


WNEW was more creative, a lot of funnier, and honestly, more controversial. Even the staff was better. Earl, Stunt Brain, Rick Delgado, Steve: these were guys who sure, were incompetent idiots, but they weren't shills for O&A. They were there to make a good show (or fail at it)

Sam and Danny, however, were they to slurp the balls of the respective patron. That only got worse as time went on, as things divided between Team Opie and Team Anthony.

The Sirius era was the last gasp of a show that was already creatively over.
 
There’s still a lot of good Sirius era clips, but I agree, a lot of stuff that I now have no interest in listening to - and those are the highlight clips, supposedly the cream of the crop, I can’t imagine sitting through 4 hours of that day after day.

Edit: I had a 20 hour car ride not too long ago, there was about 4 times as much listening to Ron and fez than O&A
 
Listening to some old intern segments from O&A and i can't believe only one of them threatened to shoot the studio up.

Maybe it's me getting older, but i just can't listen to "riffing" anymore. It feels like current day background noise where people just put on a podcast or whatever while they do other stuff. Manageable in short bursts, but i'd kill myself if i had to sit through four hours of it.

In the end, Stern really had the better show.

I can barely listen to Anthony & Jimmy attacking someone or each other with Opie chiming in being like "HEY FOOTER, WHADIYA GOT."

I mean I more than so appreciate Ron & Fez cause at least most of the time it is somewhat hypnotic to be lost in watching a middle aged gay guy yell and threaten to kill interns over lettuce wraps.

What I found kinda of funny with O&A is that Anthony hated callers, but Opie knew a lot of them were funny and let them have a go at it. I'm sure that was a big reason Anthony resented Opie.

There's something gross and exploitative listening to multi-millionaires berate broke college kids over the slightest mistakes, or ask intentionally humiliating/degrading questions about their sex and personal lives. It was a toxic environment that brought out the worst in everyone there. The intern Stevie bashings in particular are a really difficult listen, especially when the staff begin getting physical with the legitimately disabled Stevie, concluding with 90lb homosexual Travis Teft kicking him in the dick.

Him and Danny trying to act tough and intimidate Stevie was both laughable, and hypocritical, as that was Danny's main issue against Steve (yesss) in their infamous on air fight, with Danny claiming that physicality was no way to dispute a problem (before using physical force to threaten Stevie ofc). Travis, is noted for being a coward that nearly got beat to death by a chinaman in the parking lot of a Best Buy due to his stupid loudmouth broad (whom he failed to defend).

In short,
Danny is a fag,
fuckin douchebag,
got a pony tail
looks like a shemale.
Danny is a fa-a-a-a-a-a-ag!
FAG!

What I think O&A did unfairly was abuse the interns without making it part of the show. Ron & Fez had kayfabe but O&A didn't. Some of the interns I didn't feel bad for because they specifically wanted to intern for the Opie & Anthony Show. They knew what they were getting. Others simply got placed there, didn't know what they were walking into, and were mistreated. At least Ron & Fez had interns who went on to find work in radio or entertainment. How many O&A interns did anything? I think Sam was the only one. O&A did nothing to actually train their interns and wasted their time.

Weren't there interns that didn't play along? I seem to remember only the retards fell for it. Either way David was hilarious. His massage parlor visit is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

Several interns ignored the obvious bait. Only the idiots who wanted to be on-air at any cost played along. I almost felt like the b-b-b-boys exploited Intern David, but then he leaned into the "executive intern" thing.
