Anyone else angry that Opie refers to it as only $50,000

[judoGTI]

Everytime Opie tells Notron to get over it because he lost a mere $50,000 (at WNEW) I want Mr. Moneybags to realize that that is quite a bit of money for us average folk...

I just feel like he is talking down to us Dad.... *sniffle*

bah! :icon_eek: http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~rwh3/brian_save/hanukkah.gifto THEM it's not alot of $ in the grand scheme of things-that's why he jokes w/ norton about it

[tysonpunchinguterus]

I think he's being sarcastic when he says "only" $50 grand. He's just rubbing it in Norton's unpaid face is all.

That's an average of two whores a day. Those bastards.

[JhaxShucksChock]

Agreed, Opie is just being Sam Sarcasm.

[generoso]

I was shocked it was only 50,000....though it be atleast 100 grand ( no not the candy bar).

[Peachy]

Really? I thought he was being Freddie Facetious. :rolleyes:

[JhaxShucksChock]

I don't know why it's funny but everytime I see or hear something like that or Pete Plug or whatever it is I always laugh.

[fhore twentee]

blackout- wins.

[YouCantBeSirius]

50 grand is nothing, i agree with opie.

[JohnnyGriswold]

50 grand is a lot, but i'm not angry at opie. i think it's funny because i just think he's fuckin' with norton by saying it's "only 50 thousand bucks". it probably drives norton nuts because that's a lot of whores!

[YouCantBeSirius]

well i think that if any of you are indeed angry at opie, perhaps you should call in the show and let him know.

[PMB917]

It was obviously sarcasm.

[hime]

hoo hoo!

Hoo Hoo, I invented 50 grand Robin.

[YouCantBeSirius]

thank you for clarification armymad

[roche]

If he acts like it is no big deal to him, it will just get that much further under Norton's skin.

[EdC]

I really get mad when the come in the studio and breath and stuff. Is anybody else getting pissed of that XM even exists? While we're at it why are there speakers? That really pisses me off.

This board is turning into 1 big Andy Rooney fest with all the bitching about everything to do with the show.

What exactly can they say and do without pissing off the supposed fans?

[BigBuffaloFan]

$50,000 is peanuts to a guy like Norton. I worked in a comedy club here in Buffalo and Robert Schimmel made almost $12,000 in 2 shows 1 night. Norton works a lot of colleges and they pay top dollar. A couple of those and he is made his $50,000.

[Rob]

yup...

[mackie421]

it probably drives norton nuts because that's a lot of whores!
it would also be a nice lil down payment on a house

[Oswald]

Or he could buy himself a small fishing boat

[bigA]

i invented sarcasm robin hoo hoo hoo

[KramdensDeliciousMarshall]

it would also be a nice lil down payment on a houseOr 50,000 tacos.

[YouCantBeSirius]

haha yeah or 50 thousand dollar menu items at wendys!

Yeah I hate air!.. Holy S you people take this forum too seriously. How can you listen to a comedic talk show and then have such a serious forum? It seems like the threads here either have to be about how 'great' or 'classic' the shows bits are, or how much people hate this and that... Lets have some fun here too...

[HockeyHelmet]

whats sarcasim?

[DoughBoy]

50 grand? Its only a candy, what are you getting all upset over 1/2 a candy bar...

[EdC]

... It seems like the threads here either have to be about how 'great' or 'classic' the shows bits are, or how much people hate this and that...
Yea ... who started this particular hate thread anyway? http://www.wackbag.com/showpost.php?p=214350&postcount=1

*whew* Im surprised people saw the sarcasm in Opies comments, but failed to see the fun in this thread... Tough crowd.... (was cancelled)(ha!)

[Oswald]

Ouch...They just tore you a new one

[DoughBoy]

I don't get it... its only half a candybar... /snicker You fucking tools :)

[Kurto2021]

didn't Norton say that most comedians only get like $50 to $75 per set the other day. Granted he is a headliner and probably gets a little more but whatever he makes now he had a long time of making shit money in order to get to where he is now (of course now = not getting paid by XM. So which is better shit money or no money?)

[Dutch Clutch]

Yeah Opie was sarcastic, but in New York City, $50,000 might get you a soda to go with your cheese sammich.

[DavidW]

HA HA!

This thread got the shit kicked out of it today!

Thanks for posting this sarcasm-less guys ... It made radio MORE GOODER today!

[prozac]

I heard a rumor from Big Doodies Ben that JudogtI (who started this post) was at a

nearby hospital recovering from the comments from today's show. Ouch!!

[jackdaniels1940]

nice job you f---in tools!! haha

[judoGTI]

Man Ill have to listen to the replay to see what he says, I didnt know he even said anything yet. It sounds like he getting to it now.

[NJisSexiest]

50 grand is nothing, i agree with opie.
hi :icon_wink

[TankRizzo]

Ouch...They just tore you a new one
ahahhahahahhah :action-sm

[judoGTI]

haha


Mr Moneybags, into the Devil and back to Mr Moneybags....

And Im a jerk off.... according to Ant... But I did start this as a joke... I guess my sarcasm doesnt come through online as good as their sarcasm over the radio....

Im going to pout in the corner now... ;)

[reefdweller]

But I did start this as a joke...
Hoo Hoo Hoo!! I invented jokes Robin!

[JhaxShucksChock]

I don't care if you were being Sam Sarcasm or not, it's worth it for how funny this is. Thanks for being such a douchebag Judo :action-sm

[judoGTI]

Yeah I know, it's worthless to explain (and try to save my sarcasm) after they comment on it... But my only salvation is the post I made a few days ago.... lol...

But who knew they would let the thread get to them like it did... Kind of makes me proud. :D

[cableone12]

haha i just heard the replay, you got ur ass ravaged by o+a bravo:clap: :clap:
guess ur always the last one to get the jokes when ur with ur friends judoGti!!

[judoGTI]

It does kind of hurt to sit a little. :)

[FANDICK]

That was brutal, man.

Glad I stayed out of THIS one.

And were you REALLY being sarcastic with this thread?

[judoGTI]

I think everything I post on a forum with the words 'wack' and 'bag' can be taken in jest. lol. I was very much starting this thread to have some fun and pass some time.

I was actually surprised to see how seriously they take this message board. Granted we are hardcore fans, but aren't we all just screwing around anyways?

[JhaxShucksChock]

I think the thing is that if you read a lot of the threads on here a lot of people aren't just goofing around and they do get a little too serious. Because of them, unfortunately it seems like sarcasm has to be made perfectly clear.

Well you seem to be smiling through that beating! Like everyone here posted

you do have to feel good about making todays show a little more gooder.

One question? When you type does the blood from the beating you took

spill onto the keyboards?

[judoGTI]

AHAHA No blood on the keyboard, but I do have a damp spot forming on the seat of my pants... ;)

[prozac]

AHAHA No blood on the keyboard, but I do have a damp spot forming on the seat of my pants... ;)

Good man! You know that since this got a reaction, some might come to

expect you to do something like this every once in awhile? Any thoughts?

[sbuckets]

it doesnt bother me at all, O & A are wealthy men and that amount of money isnt alot to them anymore. He was just using it in the context of there monitery situation. my family is moderately wealthy and 50,000 dollars is not really alot of moneny when you think about it these days

It doesn't need to be made perfectly clear but there needs to be at least a hint of it. You can't hear vocal inflections here and there has been a huge amount of bitching.

Please tell me you didn't listen to the show today.

I guess they just see all the bitching that goes on and picked the wrong example.

I must admit, I didn't catch the sarcasm in your first post, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

You're being a good sport about it too.

[cableone12]

i guess to his defense, its kinda hard to tell sarcasm when its being typed. maybe if you put a *s* at the bottom of your post when ur being sarcastic, or something to that effect.

[judoGTI]

beh, its better to be misunderstood and have a laugh at it. If you cant laugh at yourself then you can't laugh at the fact that Opie wears pajamas. :)

[KramdensDeliciousMarshall]

AHAHA No blood on the keyboard, but I do have a damp spot forming on the seat of my pants... ;)I'll be right there with a paper towel, and my mouth.

[Sinn Fein]

I almost drove off the road today when they went on the tirade about this today... I knew it was about this clusterfuck of a thread.

[Lil'GlubGlub]

How roomy is it inside of the barrel? :action-sm

[YouCantBeSirius]

hahahaha i am so glad this thread got BASHED.

i hope you doucherags cried when opie mocked you.

[Shitdeek]

I loved listening to them shit on this thread. Thanks for the good radio!

[MrSquidlow]

bah! :icon_eek: http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~rwh3/brian_save/hanukkah.gif
$50,000.00's not a lot..... :action-sm

[Blackvoice]

you know what i heard opie's rant about who cares what we think on this board bla bla bla and how we cannot take jokes or sarcasm hoo hoo. hey cuzz we will talk about not liking what you do all we want just the same way we talk about the things you do that we like. it's a free forum and just because some asswhipe doesn't get your sarcasm or pretends not to get it... ahh fuck it i was going for one of those jim norton type rants but had no confidence in it. That's why we leave the comedy to the snukums.

[sherwood]

Which comedy club do you work at? The only one I can think of around here is Comix Cafe...is there another one?

[prozac]

THIS THREAD WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN BY OPIE!!!! It was again mentioned on 1/18/05 show!! I thought I would pull this up and give it it's proper respect!!!

[Yankee Bleacher Anthony]

The only time I get pissed at opie is when he says "Its only 7cents a day"......Sorry Opie but I only got XM to listen to your show, and I pay 12$s a month to listen to your show. If it wasnt for O and A I would not have XM so please stop with the 7 cents shit.

[hoo cares]

Or 500 golden showers

[JhaxShucksChock]

Not anyone else's fault that you're ignoring 100+ channels of programming, you pay $10 a month for XM and $2 a month for O&A, even if you really want to go with the "I pay $12 a month for O&A thing" it's only 40 cents a day, still not really all that bad folks, jesus.

[DoughBoy]

Jesus, let it die.
