The moment you got hooked!!!!

[AFRO 202]

I was trying to remember the moment that I became a true fan of the bbboys. You know became a full on loyal soldier and pest. It was the 2000 O&A Softball game. A group of my friends got together and went including my now ex-girlfriend and my current one. For those of you there, my ex was one of the 3 girls making out on the mezzanine. The whole day was one big party and it hooked me for life.

So when were you hooked?

Also if anyone has pictures from that day please PM me!!!! My girlfriend wants to see them again (and me too).

[abudabit]

Took me a bit less than a half year before I liked them better than Stern. I think I realized it during one of the anti-baby rant shows (even though I'm not anti-infant).

[BobSaget666]

I believe it was the second show ever on XM. Ant and Jimmy started making Shining references (something my friends and I have done for years) and I was hooked.

[prozac]

ANt doing DICE on NEW

[Crankin_Aussie]

Patti's dewigging. After I heard that nothing was going to keep me from following the show.

[Carrr]

The Staple Gun Challenge.

[thecatdad]

The first day I listened (about two weeks after they started in Cleveland) they did the "call in characters" bit and I fucking LOST it. I think the one that got me was the "listening-to-the-radio-while-on-the-phone" guy. At the time, I thought that was hilarious.

Actually, I still think it's hilarious. I'm a nudge.

[fandango86]

The 'we don't have a format' show did it for me.

[Taso]

If i remember correctly, it was when Psycho Mark was tied to the chair and blindfolded and the tranny gave him a lapdance.

[bubbawadd]

1st time I heard Steven Lynch on WNEW doing the Special Olympics song. Sucked me right in.

[NortonsJunk]

Free preview week got me, until then I was a lost soul.

[ThaPplsChoice]

The day they played Mike Tyson's rant at the Lennox Lewis press conference ("I'll F you til you love me!") was the first time that I can remember almost getting into an accident from laughing so hard. I was hooked from that point on, and I made every effort to listen to every good bit I could get my hands on.

[khemystri]

about 3 or 4 weeks after they came to Philly.... Took that long to catch the virus.

[Dutch Clutch]

I was hooked from the day they started on WJKF. I bought XM radio specifically for their show....I don't listen to any other channel..if I want music, I'll put on my fukkin IPOD.

[jambro]

During the freeplay and they played the Laci Peterson song with the line "Momma these are for you" and the boys reaction to it was so classic, I signed then and there.

[opack fan]

My first time was at the start of NEW.... The listeners were just bashing them and I remember thinking to myself look how they are not only taking the calls and the bashing but they are actually turning it into good radio! After that it just progessed to the obsessive pest that I am today!!!
:action-sm


O&A and Lil' Jimmy Forever!!! Spread The Virus!!!

[Blake]

I think it was late '99 and they had some chick in the studio who worked upstairs. The woman was trying to plug her internet wedding site. Yea, a site that actually married people on the internet. And Opie told her that he would only let her plug the site if she would let someone stick their head up the back of her wedding dress, he called it playing "Old Time Photogropher" with someone.

I couldn't believe how funny it was watching this chick try to get a plug for her site so bad and they just wouldn't let her get it out.

It's not even a good bit, but that was when I finally realized how different a radio show it actually was.

[GLENN_THE_TOOL]

CBS-FM bit on WNEW

[JerseyJailGuard]

Driving home from work on WNEW around 2001' ish

[Standby]

For me, it's the same as someone who posted earlier. The staple gun challenge, when O&A were doing it. I was sort of listening on and off, til my one buddy told me what they were doing, I listened, and was hooked since then. Sadly it took me about 10 months to get the XM online subscription with my new Dell (I didn't know too much about it, didn't know it was an option), but I've got the virus yet again.

[ol' Cabey leg]

I had been listening for a few months before this but i got hooked after hearing a game of what's in my pants....The answer was A BIG C.

I started listening bc one day out of nowhere I started seeing wow stickers everywhere on my way home from school.

[Ballbuster1]

It was early in their syndication to Philly. I turned on WYSP and heard
Richard Cheese playing his songs in the studio and I was hooked.

[Bunny™]

Summer 1996, I had been in the Carribean then Cali for about 5 months and had just returned home to Boston.
I found out about WOW on a Tuesday afternoon show, and the next day a few of us hit 495 and route 9 trolling for boobies. Remember when callers would give hourly updates on where they were being flashed?...."dude there's three chicks in a convertible on the turnpike flashin' everybody"...didn't see boobs, but saw a lot of other vehicles plastered with homemade WOWs.
I was addicted from that Wednesday show onward.

[marvin cumwell]

when the bbboys were not offered as a premium on XM and the first 5 min i listened to the show I was hooked

[SGTMAGOO]

I was trying to remember the moment that I became a true fan of the bbboys. You know became a full on loyal soldier and pest. It was the 2000 O&A Softball game.

So when were you hooked?

Also if anyone has pictures from that day please PM me!!!! My girlfriend wants to see them again (and me too).

Dude I was right below you guys on the ground level. I remember those chicks flashing, wasn't the biker chick who got kicked out for flashing right near you guys at one point? I actually was given tickets to the show by Rick because I was at the studio like two weeks before the game (AOTM). I even have an "Official O&A Inappropriate Bell" ahhh the stupid shit from the old WNEW Prize Closet.

[SGTMAGOO]

If i remember correctly, it was when Psycho Mark was tied to the chair and blindfolded and the tranny gave him a lapdance.

Oh dear god in heaven I totally forgot about that bit, holy shit was that funny.


My hook was in my buddies car scrolling through the channels and came across them playing the 'Tourette's Whorehouse' bit from Demented World back in 98

[Slow Bollards]

Shortly after starting in Philly I remember a week of worst of's including the HBO middle School confessions and Dice on ICe. Dice on ice did me in, and I'm over here now.

[Tax Kuntz]

Opie was telling one of the old female fossil jocks
( I can't remember her name )

"Take all these CD's and go work at Q104."

Close to 7pm, Opie said "We're not leaving yet" and stayed just to piss her off.

[Smokezilla]

I started listening to the show when they had the freeplay last December. . . I've been hooked ever since. My XM rarely goes onto any other channel. . .

Now I'm on WackBag lookin' 'round like a goon when I get home from work to see what new shit on the Photoshop Forum every night. . .

I NEED HELP!!! :icon_wink FUNNY MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

[tar_baby]

in april in my brother's car in cleveland when they were ripping on britney's show chaotic

lsitened to it all the way home that afternoon when they were playing the replays of the previous week's show...been hooked ever since

[7cent]

my earliest recollections are the last place parties, and I believe Brian Regan goofing on all the callers bitching about not playing enough music..

THIS IS NOT WHAT I'M USED TOO!!

definitely not the same day, but who the hell remembers exact moments..

[Big Zilch 7]

Back in 2000, some kid at my old job asked me if I knew what "WOW" was. I didnt and he told me to put on WNEW at 3pm. I listened, heard the Don West-Britney Spears' virginity bit and havent stopped listening since.

[Freebird]

Never knew about the boys until xm, they werent syndicated anywhere around pittsburgh.. not to long after i first tuned them in.. they did the trainables tape, it was so wrong!! i havent stopped listening to them since

[photo_grapher]

Ant was doing a tom brokaw impression in Afganistan, back when the war there had just started in 2001 on NEW. I laughed so hard I cried. I think you can find it on oavirus or foundry

[ezstevey]

hands down the worst of week before coming off of premium...and in particular the old timey cigarette ad bit

[Farm Flufer]

A couple of months before the boys came to WJFK in DC, my buddy was sending me a lot the clips from the show and I was completely hooked when WJFK started playing them on the weekends before putting them in to the Don and Mike slot.

[PatFromMoonachie]

They had me at "Hello......FATSO!" :action-sm

[kidohio]

blind boxing on terrestial radio station 107.1 the big wazu

[Hoo Hoo Howie]

Fall of '99 when Anthony was doing the Regis Philbin - Rusty Trombone, Cleveland Steamer bit.

[Grady's Ax]

Listening to the boys on AAF back in 1996 or so... I guess you can call me a 133T fanboi!

I' ve been a loyal listener since they were first on AAF also. The funny thing is (sit down folks and wait for the funny) when the bbboys were on NEW and first resyndicated in Boston, I hated lil' jimmy. But within two weeks i had been infected by the Norton virus. That little meaty breasted nothing really helped bring their show to the next level of funny...

[DC_Drew]

They first came on WJFK .....

After about two weeks, I started to arrange my travel around the show. They did a bit where listeners came in a a panel of doctors examind their boils and growths.....
One dude had a skin tap in his hog and Jimmy asked does it say Bang. I still to this day laugh about that.

When my wifes family sat silent and stunded at homeless shopping spree.....
I knew I had found a home and was hooked.

Hey we got two super bowl tickets, no travel no hotel. Who wants to go? Here's some choward eat up.

Bought the XM receiver just for the show.

[ChimneyFish]

For me , it was one of the first shows on WYSP(Philly). They had Bruce Campbell on as a guest.(Evil Dead, Army of Darkness) The fact that he was someone Stern would never have on got me hooked.
Favorite guest on XM- Al Jourgenson-ROCK GOD!!!!

[apetaster]

Back when they were on AAF doing the Mike Tyson/ Holyfield ear biting thing.

[led37zep]

55 gallon drum challenge...listening in Sacramento.

[JimmysOnlyTCell]

I've been hooked to O&A since 2001 when I moved to Philly and found them on WYSP doing one of those interviews when they abuse the guy. Absolutely hysterical. I used to download the mp3 streams when they moved to XM because I'm a cheap douchebag but I just bought an XM unit for my car to support the boys!!!

[Valued Listener]

I started listening to OnA a couple of weeks after they started in Philly. I liked the show but still wasnt really sure why 94 had decided to start running a talk show. I was a casual fan for a while. -Then of course came the absolute greatness that was 'SEX FOR SAM 2'. I'd never heard anything so fucking funny and original on radio before. That show was radio aids for me, I got the virus that day and my T-cells been dropping since.

[Bloodycoathangr]

Sitting at work flipping through stations just after 9/11. When the boys were trying to get beer to the workers at ground zero.

[Artikmb47]

man i fell in love with the boys right away. my first time listening to the show was the first friday that they had the week end rewiew with spaz. I mean come on that was the best thing you were lookign for at the end of the week. like your pay check.I mean fucking stopind tornados with microwaves. Genius Fing Genius. we need to brind that bit back. And i think that we already have a candidate for it. Francine. :-)

[Nortonsmeatytit]

The first time I heard the terms "Balloon Knot" and "Two Point Conversion" mentioned!

Jimmy w/the "Cinnamon Lips" mention to descripe the "savages" (Indians) that own gas stations recently was hilarious.

[JavaLogBoy]

and all the stuff they had on that free week trial.

[MKE]

Newer listener, since they came to XM but I have to say the Lil Conner Peterson stuff

[AgentSmith]

Free preview week got me, until then I was a lost soul.


Me too! I'm a cheap bastard and that did it. Could have been the cherry darts...

[JohnnyDouchebag]

I got hooked when they first started on WJFK. Anthony did this hillarious Ronald Reagan impression talking about how he faked alzheimers to get away from Nancy.

[ILuvDogShit]

I got hooked back one fateful day back in January of 99' on WNEW... I remember working as a Production Assistant (which fuckin' blew ass) and being stranded in rush hour traffic on the fuckin' George Washington Bridge on the way home from being stuck at the Hoboken Ikea all fucking day.... The other P.A (aka Franky "Steak Knife") I was working with tuned them in on truck radio and turned me on to the bbboys...And the rest was history!

If I remember correctly the bbboys where talking about the listeners crashing or taking down the New York Radio Message Board....

[Traveler]

I had Xm before they joined the lineup,picked up the premium channel about the 2nd week they were on,became hooked within a couple of weeks or less.They make 4 hours a day fly by....well except when Vos gets on then Its hard for me to keep my truck on the road with out falling asleep.

[Dick Whiskey]

I got hooked when they first started on WJFK. Anthony did this hillarious Ronald Reagan impression talking about how he faked alzheimers to get away from Nancy.
That, and Ant's Greaseman impression (waddle doodle) hooked me right after they started on JFK.

[NortonPartyRock]

realized how amazing they were first time i heard them... which sadly was very near the end of their commercial radio careers... a friend forced me to listen to a worst of, the 55 gallon drum challenge... i was like holy shit... heard as much as i could from then on, but it was less then a month or two i believe before they got fired... bought xm a few weeks in advance just for them... dont think i've missed more then a few minutes of any single show since... :)

[Jayhawk]

The moment I got hooked is when I was listening to the bbbboys with my friend Craig. At that time I'd never heard of them (I live in K.C.) They were in Washington and they had Dee Dee in studio. The boys ended up spanking her on air and then ended up talking to her mom on the phone. It was the funniest thing I heard on the radio (again, I live in K.C.)

That was about 8 months ago. Since then the only station on in my car is XM 202.

[ChlorofirmDiva]

The Staple Gun Challenge.
agreed. i had been listening to the show for about a year before, but the staple gun challenge made o&a required listening everyday from there on out.

[cathater04]

The first 2 minutes of the free play on XM. Since then my XM is tuned into 202 for about 95 percent of the time.

[deicide]

I had been listening for a few months before this but i got hooked after hearing a game of what's in my pants....The answer was A BIG C.

Man, I remember that moment vividly - along with the tree I almost crashed into.

[Screwtape]

on september 11, 2001. and im serious, not trying to be hokey.

[kse 8585]

The ultimate-V live read back on WNEW.

[Ebola]

October 4th 2004 at 0500 MDT. I was hooked after hearing Anthony do Mike Tyson.

[DJBigFatCock]

Sheeeet I been listening off and on sence they replaced Liz Wild at WAAF in boston on around 4 to 8 pm. I think that was there first gig together officaly. I herd the mayor menino died on april fools day live then saw on the news scrolling across the screen "Mayor Menino is fine on vacation in cape cod" or something close to that. I think Ive even met em at a godsmack show. Back when godsmack was just a local band renting lighting equiptment and sometimes sound gear from my PA company and O&A wernt as huge as they are now. I was too busy working to talk to em tho. You guys know way more about them than I do tho.

[psychodan]

2 words: "Teen Week"

[Liverkicker]

It was the first time I heard Anthony do his Mike Tyson impression. I had just started listening to the show when they were at WNEW, and it was unlike ANYTHING I had ever heard (still is). I heard the impression and really started laughing, which also made me realize how shitty the other stuff on the radio was.

[connorsarmpit]

i got hooked on them when they were in boston on waaf. they were easily the most entertaining show in the afternoon, even when they were playing songs. the show has evolved into greatness.

[grail]

Caught the virus the first day they were syndicated to Cleveland... listening to them on the way home from Work sitting on I-480 between W128th and the airport... Still think the best bit was the making the shitdick eat the peach for nsync tickets... "I am crying over here"

[FlatoutChad]

It took me a week to really start to enjoy their show. Bad thing, I got hooked about 4 months before they left radio.

[moldycheeze]

I was living in south jersey and my buddy who commuted to north jersey everey day constantly talked about how funny they were. I finally got to listen o them on my way to the Elizabeth Ikea one Wednesday and I was left wanting more...a week later they were on ysp and I was hooked for life. I subscribed to XM just because of them.

[jsc315]

1st time I heard Steven Lynch on WNEW doing the Special Olympics song. Sucked me right in.
that song got one of my freinds hooked. The first time i heard them. I belive it was the late 2000. I was tring to find something good on the radio. what a surprise. anyways, i i tunned in accedently and they were playing the silent game. i was 17 at the time and that was the funniest shit i had ever heard. i was addicted and could not get enough.
