Anyone else think those motherfucking WOW PSAs are the dumbest fucking sweepers in the history of the universe?

And stop playing the same fucking comic bits during the commercials! I'd be happier with five minutes of cross-promotion.

I hate the repetitive comedy bits, too, but have you ever listened to xmcomedy for any length of time? The commercials for that fucking hypnotist bitch piss me off. Sell a cock pill commercial or two, for christ's sake! Anything!

[Silen]

i don't mind the comedy bits, but they could mix them up or something. deer penis (i don't even get it), and the prior army bit is really starting to get played out.

Like nortons mule said, id rather hear some cross promotion then the same tired awful bits over and over.

[loser1866]

I agree, but i dont mind hearing Reds awful voice couple times a day (Tube Bar).
Also, yesterday they seemed to be doing alot-o-bits from the wnew days, I knew most of the stories before they even started.

[robins_wallet]

they really do need to add some new stuff > you are so right .....more touch tone terrorists please..... i cant get enough of that shit

[Jon_keu]

my problem with the WOW bits is that the chick in em keeps saying mellons. Omg the mellons fell on him but my mellons and i wanted to show him mellons when i was by the mellons. Hello!?!?!

[Dutch Clutch]

I would like to see the breaks grouped into a few 6 minute segments other than many 3 minute segments. 3 minutes is NOT enough time to run to the bathroom or get a snack if you really want to catch everything they say.

They need more variety in what they play during the breaks.

Volume level changes still seem to be a problem, though not as bad as the beginning.

[xxhiyanxx]

the wow bit stink and so does the penis in the vagaina real cornball bullshit

[Dryblood]

id rather have commercials then hearing the same old comedy shit everytime.

[DoughBoy]

id rather have commercials then hearing the same old comedy shit everytime.
I was thinking that, then I came to the understanding that they'll be the same fucking commercials every time too.

[trd270]

I left a message on the FU line for those god damn WOW psa's they were funny the first 2000 fucking times, it wouldn't be as bad if they would break them up but they play all 3 in the same fucking break. then all three again the next break .

Get it together steve or washington who ever's in charge of them.

[Papagolash]

OK here's my bitching. I HATE the college hoops commercial, fucking guy at the end yelling sounds exactly like Pablow Francisco. Yelling the same thing over and over and over and over again.

[Chief79]

...and what the fuck is up with the "Tips from the produce guy" and hints on how to tune up your car? I don't think anyone is listening so they can find out who to keep Shallots fresh.

[JhaxShucksChock]

Hey at least the squash recipe spot from the first week is gone.

[kloraferm]

The WOW promos are fucking stupid. I'd rather hear comedy bits than commercials but they need to use some new ones, there are so many comedy albums out there that they could get material from. Most of the bits they play I thought were funny at first but now can't stand.

[valley_stream]

if you all complain about the bits being repetetive, we'll wind up with commercials which is WORSE! not to say the bits are not getting annoying, but still better than commercials

[expungablerobot]

Straight up, yes, I'd much rather hear repetitive bits than repetetive commercials. But Jesus motherfucking Christ if I have to hear one of the UPS Touchtone Terrorist bits again, or that fag bit about "carving the shit" out of people's heads, or a doctor fucking his patient in the ass (with the debt collector) I'm going to scream.

[JhaxShucksChock]

It does seem like they are adding new comedy stuff as they go along. You gotta remember, they can't just go buy a CD and start playing it on the air, they have to work it out with whatever record label put out the CD in order to play it.

if XM wanted to they could get it worked out. they have it worked out for the regular comedy channels. Im sure they have to get a diff approval for a diff channel but its possible and it boils down to the suits in DC :icon_conf

[expungablerobot]

Agreed. And I really think this boils down to the fact that XM has NO FUCKING clue what they have here- they clearly think they just have one of the better "shock"(according to them) radio shows, and don't view them in the light of the ANTIStern that they could be for XM. When I called Listener Care today the recorded message said it all. It went something like: "Thank you for calling XM Radio, home of Major League Baseball and Nationally Syndicated Public Radio Host Bob Edwards." Then they said something else and only then did I hear something to the effect of, "you can also get Opie and Anthony on channel 202 for $1.99."

Now, I motherfucking guarantee you that when Stern moves to Siri all you'll hear about Siri is Stern. When you walk into Best Buy, all the ads will have Stern's face on them, standups, commercials, etc. Which is why it sucks ass to hear that O&A have "given up", even if I don't believe them. I will grant you O&A don't have quite the namebrand as Stern, BUT THEY COULD. And the fact that there has been literally ZERO promotion and that your local electronics guys generally have NO CLUE O&A are on means they haven't recieved even a goddamn piece of paper into those stores explaining this new option for XM. Get your heads out of your cunts, XM. I like ya and want you to succeed over radios the size of my retarded cousin's noggin.

EDITED TO ADD that during the first weeks when Op complained someone told the boys "you're one of 150 channels." Fine. Look at it that way. Then lick a poisoned chode and die.

[GregFarz78]

ugh put me to sleep :sleeping

that bit is driven into the ground I'd rather listen to a stalker patti call in

[al885]

no i just hate hearing steve's fuckin gay voice on the "sexiest state" clips

[Dryblood]

Ozzy once or twice a month is cool more then that it jumps the shark

[JhaxShucksChock]

I'm not knocking the show here but it is partially up to them to add stuff to the show. Obviously they don't want everything that XM plays on 150 to be on their channel, they're focusing on stuff they like. I'm pretty sure Sexbagel has posted on other threads here about how they, meaning the show, are adding new music and comedy bits day by day. Maybe XM actually takes care of it, but the show has to tell them what to get.

[NewCharacterGuy]

Anyone else think those motherfucking WOW PSAs are the dumbest fucking sweepers in the history of the universe?

And stop playing the same fucking comic bits during the commercials! I'd be happier with five minutes of cross-promotion.

Only complaint I have about those WOW spots is that the girl's voice is NOT sexy at ALL.. She sounds like some 40 year old mess from the Island... :icon_lol:

[SPEWEY]

I've never liked it. I didn't find it funny on Hoo-Hoo, and I don't find it funny on O&A.

[Domino]

Yeah... it's boring. I just jump to Ethel for a few minutes.

[okterrificsk2]

i i do the same i jump to ethel for a song or two during the ozzy thing. i dont get it, the entire ozzy thing was over in 2002 or 2003 . But that was just one bad moment in an other wise GREAT show today, i thought it was one of the funiest shows since thier return.

[av8rOC]

I wish they would just play a song or two during breaks...even the few comedy bits that were funny are way too repetitive. I turn the channel off at this point cause it pisses me off.

[Diceman Cometh]

Looks like Howard might be on Sirius sooner rather than later. If they dont make it easier for O & A and their staff to PROGRAM THE FUCKING CHANNEL THE WAY THEY WANT IT and make High Voltage entertaining 24/7 then Howard is gonna whip their asses.

The fucking same comedy bits are whats making their breaks really unbearable, otherwise I would be listening to the channel all day. Imagine how many people you can get on board by promsing a good comedy show with lots of musical and comic variety in between, and during variety hours?

[valley_stream]

As far as the same bits always being played, this is a mystery to me too as far as who controls that and why they confine themselves to those same bits. It's clearly not o+a who make that call and I think this is an area they SHOULD be in charge of the same way stern will control 3 channels on his company's system

[expungablerobot]

Also, I KNOW it ain't a problem to change the name of the station. SO MANY Xm channels have come and gone already.

[randall_flagg]

XM has got to do something soon. Stern's going to jump sooner rather than later and while word of mouth is very strong for O & A, it's nothing compared to a commercial during a sports event or a billboard. The commercial breaks (bits?) are horrible - I feel like XM is scared to promote them or something... UGH... so frustrating! Everyone I play the show for loves it, so why not promote it more!

End rant.

[Kegman]

I dont mind the commercials psa's or cross promotions on the other channels, just use those.

btw as long as the commericials are short, they have a longer shelf life.

Get rid of the one with the collostomy bag....omg id rather be the broad in my pic

[Kegman]

its identical to the last sticker except for the location. How will this promote them? Unless you examine the damn sticker, you wont notice that o&a went to sat radio, you'll think your just some ultra loyal fan from WNEW or someone that doesn't have a razor blade.

I dont like the lack of effort. Just anohter example of xm's promotional blitz!

[Maynard K]

The only funny Ozzy line was when he said, "bop, now it's mine".
On a related note, I hate Ben. I hate it when he laughs, cackles, breaths and of course speaks anywhere near a mic. Anytime he opens his mouth all the clear stuff gets caught on his vocal cords, as he gurggles out some showstopping, witless, drab statement.
Whenever he starts to speak I automatically lower the volume. He makes me fucking ill as does Artie Lange, that bloated ball of hoo hoo ass kissing failure.
Other than that, the shows a peach!

[SpotcheckBilly]

And the t-shirts shrunk up too much..and the key chains don't hold enough keys.

bleh..:arrrh:

[STD]

Ozzy once or twice a month is cool more then that it jumps the shark
I think saying jump the shark, is jumping the shark.

[Ballbuster1]

I think saying jump the shark, is jumping the shark.Can't argue with that logic.:clap:

[tirus]

well he did get in 'hel-i-copt-or'.

[Freddy's Finger]

I've never liked it. I didn't find it funny on Hoo-Hoo, and I don't find it funny on O&A.
It wasnt funny on hoo-hoo because O&A did it in 2002, long before hooknose grabbed it. Just like so many other bits & gags (Some subtle, some not), the faggot grabbed them after O&A were benched.

Facts are facts, and fact is, Hooknose is a fraud.

[xxhiyanxx]

what's the ozzy bit....

[tirus]

what can we do to help get this messege out to the fine folks over at XM?

[erockradio]

Start listening to the spots, they're starting to rotate and be replaced. Also, start noticing the Variety Hour changes, as well as the content this weekend people. Slow but, steady. The next few weeks are gonna be something.

[expungablerobot]

Rock and roll, sexbagel. I think most of us aren't trying to add too much negativity, just pissed with these Washington pricks and want the show to be more gooder, always more more gooder.

[Ballbuster1]

Rock and roll, sexbagel. I think most of us aren't trying to add too much negativity, just pissed with these Washington pricks and want the show to be more gooder, always more more gooder.Just give them time. It's all new now.

[valley_stream]

[JoeyDVDZ]

This is what I wrote to the fine folks at XM.


I'm a subscriber of XM radio, and pay for two installations. I joined solely for Opie & Anthony. I have to say, I am extremely disappointed that I have seen zero effort on the part of XM Radio to promote this fine, amazingly entertaining show. Wake up, XM. Howard is coming sooner rather than later, and if you guys don't let people know O&A are back and better than ever, you're going to have trouble once Howard makes his move. You KNOW sirius isn't going to drop the promotional ball as you are with regard to Opie & Anthony.

Thank you,

Joseph M

[Zilch]

Love the show, love the boys...they are clearly the best thing on radio.

BUT...certain aspects/jokes are already starting to wear a little thin.
Such as:
The constant JFK (He stops and has a coke) and Full Metal Jacket (Are *blank* allowed in the barracks Private Pyle?) references.

Saying that they want to stop talking about the St. Pats scandal and that they want it to go away...only to keep playing clips from it and to talk about how they want it to go away for the 8000th time.

Daily complaints about XM...sounding a little hoo-hoo-ish here.

[ryan lambert]

The constant JFK (He stops and has a coke) and Full Metal Jacket (Are *blank* allowed in the barracks Private Pyle?) references.

A triangulation of fire! THAT'S the key!

[Stingray]

Dont we already have a bitching, moaning and complaining thread?

[Bach]

What could anyone possibly have to bitch about? :fight6:

If you think of a gripe, just remember the 2+ years we spent without the show. That'll cure what ails ya.

[JamesRI]

Yeah- would you rather hear a handful of repetitive jokes, or not have O & A at all??

Im suprised you don't bitch about the "spilled coffe".

[PatFromMoonachie]

They usually customize the references(" Ralphie goes in the water, Shark goes in the water...", "Were gonna need a bigger stage!"), Which makes it new again.
Personally, I can't get enough movie references!

[Zilch]

I couldn't be happier that they're back. The show rocks and will only get better. I just thought a few things were getting a little stale.

[kloraferm]

What, pounding stuff into the ground? Not O&A!

[JohnnyGriswold]

The only thing i don't like is the 6am start time. I still think that this is an afternoon type of show.

But content-wise, I couldn't be happier.

[Floppygrandma]

Repeated references to great friggen movies, or 30 minute discussions of what happened on the last Smallville, hoo hoo. I know which one i find less annoying!

[nolram]

The show is great, and it's get much gooder each time. The shows time hasn't affected the boys, it is affecting the army. The callers are less gooder, but I guess that comes with time.

[Stinkysteve]

Dont we already have a bitching, moaning and complaining thread?

"A" bitching and moaning thread?????

It seems that almost half of the threads are bitching about something....

I'm glad they are back, I don't care what time they start, I just wake up and turn it on and listen all fucking day long.

Life is good!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

[noillim]

Personally, I can't get enough movie references!

I agree. LOVE the movie references, and the more obscure the better.

[JoeyDVDZ]

Now, while I appreciate a good bitching rant as much as the next guy, I honestly think the boys are doing the same quality of show, if not better, than they ever did on WNEW. They have ALWAYS spent days tooling on a particular bit, and then it fades away. It's the way they do it. They get bored of it about the same time we all do. As new stuff happens, the old stuff takes a back seat, not to be heard from again until a Worst Of show.

I think it sucks that I somehow got lumped into this bitching and whining thread even though I'm not bitching OR whining... merely pointing out that Sting's question was rehtorical.

[kid afrika]

Now you're complaining about being lumped in with the complainers?

The circle is endless.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Bits I don't get which are played repeatedly...

Red Foxx's "Hippopatmus lips" bit...

BTW, was there a major major falling out between the boys and Denis Leary that I missed? There has YET to be one Denis Leary bit played.

[Stinkysteve]

I think there were some Dennis Leary bits during some of the Variety Hours....

[khemystri]

The only complaint about the show is Ants. Dr. Smith. impression....
The one where he talks about young boys WHOOO... I've never seen the original show, so it's not that funny to me... But it's OK.... Disliking 1 out of 500 bits aint that bad... I can tolerate it, because he does throw funny lines in with the impression. (so its not like im flipping the channel)

Anyone else dislike that bit???

I've never seen lost in space either, but I always found that bit funny.

I've always disliked Crank calling and "Hi mom, I'm in..." bits. I just never found those type of bits funny. It always makes me flip the channels for a bit.

[Joe Orthex]

i don't like the....um, don't like when they....ahhhh.
I don't like when the show ends. yeah, that's it.

[JohnnyGriswold]

i hate that the O&A show is not available to all XM subscribers. That's about it. I have no problem paying the 2 bucks, but it would be nice to have everyone in on the show.

[vice86]

I'm getting sick of hearing the Good, Bad & Ugly song...or whatevre it is. Does anyone else feel the same?

[Kurto2021]

I added two additional radios to my account for the $6.99 price and then found out that they do not get the O&A show. I have to pay an additional $1.99 per radio. This kind of pisses me off....I guess the idea of getting the car stereo with XM built in was a bad idea. Damn it I guess I should have looked into this prior to the purchase. I can't justify the cost on all three stereos so I guess I have to pick the one I listen to the most.

[MikeyBiggs]

yes... They need something else....

[MikeyBiggs]

Oh wow that does suck...

I got lucky... Wife gave me the Delphi SkyFi last Christmas... It's a little big but I can take it everywhere...

This is called capitalism and improving profit margins.

[NightStalker3]

never.....Though I am open to something else. Any ideas?

[judoGTI]

It is too long. I like it but cut it down a little bit.

[Bach]

I liked it just fine when they went right into Street Fighting Man at the top of the show, back on WNEW. Maybe just play the produced intro of sound clips, go into SFM, let Ant play with his little Instant Replay toy and get the show going.

But as a radio insider, I bet that they use the time that Good, Bad & Ugly is on to take last minute leaks, test headphone/mic levels, grab show prep, finger a balloon knot, and other necessary pre-show functions.

[Dangballs]

This is called capitalism and improving profit margins.

or simply, BULLSHIT.

that shit pisses me off man...the boys are trying so hard to promote the show and the XM brass can't give a multiple reciever discount? fucking douchebags. asshole corporate XM fucks :icon_evil

[roche]

I like the original version of it. It sound slike the changed over to a new version a week or two ago.

I am suprised we have never discussed this before.... :icon_roll

[FrancoTAU]

This is called capitalism and improving profit margins.

Eh, making money is good.... doing it while possibly alienating your customers isn't exactly the best idea either. Than again, i think the whole premium channel thing stinks anyways.

[MikeyBiggs]

I'm actually kind of surprised by this because it's almost inflating numbers...

If you think about it, you can only listen to one radio at a time but if you have an in dash car receiver and maybe a MiFi unit you will be listed as two listeners...

Interesting....

I'm not defending it but somebody's wife, kid, etc. could easily be listening to another one.

True... And therein lies the loophole of why you have to pay for both...

[MikeyBiggs]

It's like car insurance...

[edward420]

only problem I have with the show, is I wish that the pictures from the days events should be posted the day that the show airs. Also I wish that xm can get it together and get a goddamn live camera in the studio. thats all

[walking joint]

i don't like the 'Guess What's In Your Pants' song...actually i like it but it goes on one or two lines to long.

[fandango86]

- They play the Good Bad Ugly song so Jimmy has time to put his headphones on after arriving at the studio at 6:02am. Also so that they can get situated in the studio before they turn the mic's on.

- Some guy named Wifflebatlube that posts here occassionally and seems to know a lot about the show posted recently that O&A are trying very hard to get the premium channel thing fixed.

- I believe Ant's Dr. Smith impression will fade now that he died. I don't think he's used it much since they've been on XM.

- Many things with the show seem to be overcomplicated by Steve C's advanced technical knowledge. Like the duplicate release forms for the guests, and the fact that they can't get music behind 'Police got my car.' So it probably takes him like 100x as long to get a picture up on Foundry as it does for Cage to get a Photoshop of him on fire up here. While I'm at it, I'm also going to blame him for the premium channel thing. He's got big shoulders...

- My problem with Guess What's in My Pants is that they only get fat chicks to do it. I think O&A should give the rest of their MyFi's away to the 5 hottest 'non-professional' chicks that come into the studio between now and the rest of the year. Better looking women equals more gooder radio.

[d0uche_n0zzle]
