Homeless Shopping Spree 2006 @ The Mall at Short Hills from 2-6 pm

[cokelogic]

With the Homeless Shopping Spree 2006 coming up, the show is going to record the show on a Saturday and then play it on the following Monday (from what I've heard).

The Hard Rock show was edited fantasticlly, but without going to the event you did know how long Flav babbled on. Like that show, I would have liked a raw broadcast live on the date and also have the nice, polished version aired.

Even if it's a trainwreck, anyone with me on having the HSS just thrown onto XM raw and live.

Maybe the show will consider this.

[nneptune]

I think it should be live.
I don't want it too polished.

[LastDeadMouse]

Wasn't it live last year?

[JOHNNY HAIRDO]

Wasn't it live last year?
Yes it was, sir. I remember listening to it live, because I couldn't get to work because of the transit strike.

[ianbobo]

not gonna happen. I think free fm wants to be able to air it first. I think thats why the halloween show wasnt live.

[jacobcorner]

not gonna happen. I think free fm wants to be able to air it first. I think thats why the halloween show wasnt live.

Screw free-fm! I pay for the service. Give me some new content on the weekend.

[LastDeadMouse]

Well if it's not gonna be live maybe they could do the show from the bus rather than the studio? Probably too complicated.

[PuddingChest]

it has to be live. O&A need to throw us XMers a bone. Lets go O&A, show a sack and tell Free FM your going to air it live on Saturday. Who cares if its a clusterfuck. I dont want a polished show. The only thing I want polished is my knob!

[mikeybot]

It'd be nice to have the unedited raw feed as the event is going.
Especially if something bad were to occur.

[cokelogic]

not gonna happen. I think free fm wants to be able to air it first. I think thats why the halloween show wasnt live.They pre-recorded it so they could air two versions of the Holloween show; clean and funny. That's the only reason it was pre-recorded. That Saturday night was a shock to people that it wasn't being boardcast. Play it twice on XM: the raw feed on Saturday and then the edited version on Monday (simulcast the clean version on FM). Everything is being recorded to be presented as a show anyhow, it's not like the format is changed.

[Magaman]

I don't see how they can NOT do the shopping spree live, what made the shopping spree great in years past is all the PEST showing up and calling in with updates. This bit has to be done live, that way its more gooder.

[LastDeadMouse]

Something I just thought of, won't they get a lot fewer callers from the mall and fans going to the mall if it isn't live? Hearing fans call in with updates is one of the funniest parts of the homeless shopping spree show.

**EDIT** Magaman and I seem to be thinking alike.

[Digital_Trauma]

I wonder if the boys will be at the mall or in the studio like last year? I liked them in the studio, they could pick out the best calls that way.

[cokelogic]

I wonder if the boys will be at the mall or in the studio like last year? I liked them in the studio, they could pick out the best calls that way.In years past they've never went to the mall. This is interesting now. They'll be sitting in a studio not taking any calls except the homeless spotters? I doubt Ant's getting on the homeless bus.

[Teddy]

needs to be live it not its not going to be the same

fuck free fm

[Digital_Trauma]

needs to be live it not its not going to be the same

fuck free fm
It's not really Free FM's fault, the shopping spree would suck in the morning. It will be too bad if the event isn't live on XM though, or at least paltalk. That seems reasonable.

[14milevinny]

the show needs to be live. O&A started their following because of their raw delivery, and the fact they aren't afraid to bomb. They always know how to make the best of a show that would kill regular DJ's. i really hope this is live, hell i'm pissed its on a saturday!

[Hoagie]

I don't know what O&A's plan is going to be in reguards to staying in studio or going to the mall. But recording and editing would allow O&A to go to the mall as opposed to just staying in studio. It would also allow far more participation in the better activities. I was at last year's HSS and we didn't get to half the shit we wanted to because of time restraints. Plus you only get to be a part of 1/5 of what's going on because groups have to split up so something is always going on.

I hope they do record it and edit it and then play it. HSS is the perfect bit for that kind of production. If you've ever been to one you really understand why. A lot of calls get picked up in the hopes of a good bit that just deteriorates or never happens. Recording prevents those boring calls and gives the opportunity to try the bit with more people, increasing the chance a bit might work.

[evil_indian]

I would love to hear it live

[magnus420]

yeah, live would be good.. just turn the mics on, let it all go out on saturday. then edit it and play the nice and polished version on monday for those that missed the raw feed.

[Angelfuck]

I always liked the feel of knowing the festivities were occurring and fans were out buying homeless people beer as I was sitting at work. I don't remember it being that big of a thing, the boys would do the show and check in with them when the bums were singing or buying shoes. I hope that if it is overly produced its done well

[JBLouisville]

Not to air this live would be an insult to us Xm'ers. Best moment of 05 SSpree was the impromptu "Shelter Me" concert. Priceless

[cokelogic]

yeah, live would be good.. just turn the mics on, let it all go out on saturday. then edit it and play the nice and polished version on monday for those that missed the raw feed.Hello, Excatly!

[nneptune]

Exactly. It's a no-brainer. Come on!

[cokelogic]

Where is WBL to comment on this? (unless Ant did on the show already, listening to a recording right now; slept in today).

[NoFilterPaul]

I got the impression from what was said today that this will be live on both Free FM and XM

[the far side]

Any one have a glimmer where the HSS might be happening? I read on anothetr post that it just might be happening Little farther south in NJ! That would be great

[Spoondini]

is there an uptight mall down there? somelace where the homeless would be unappreciated, and made to feel unwelcomed? I really don't know South Jersey all that well, but i might be up for a trip south.

[Hunter777]

I got the impression from what was said today that this will be live on both Free FM and XM


That's interesting, because in previous posts people were saying that it was going to be recorded. If they do this live, they will have to move it to the afternoon. If they're doing it on a Saturday, this shouldn't be a problem, obviously XM has no problem with it, and 92.3 could just preempt the music for a few hours. I'll be there, most likely with Tippy Tom by my side asking me for money. Right Paul?

They specifically said that it would be taped so it could play on Free FM. You limey.

that is going to happen no matter what, live or not.

[Flea_Man]

where's it gonna be this year anyway?

[mikeybot]

I'm sure they're probably going to give the least amount of notice possible, as they've done in the past

[cokelogic]

where's it gonna be this year anyway?In years past, they announce it day of. But since it's going to be recorded on a Saturday evening, they'll have to announce it Friday. This would give the mall plenty of time to prepare with security; which was always a great tease to see if the mall would allow the bums/show to raise hell or not.

[prozac]

Would be gold...

[sobi]

didn't really read the whole thread, so I'm sorry if this was said already, but doing it on a weekend will make the experience that much more gooder. It's simple really... think of how many more people will be there on a Saturday over a Friday.

[Maldoff]

I know the first one was at Short Hills mall. I don't recall where the rest have been. One was out on LI somewhere I think. I wonder if they'll revisit the old haunts or pick somewhere new.

[jimmyolsenblues]

will it be saturday december 16th at the west nyack ny mall?
I can make that.

[HummerTuesdays]

I believe the malls were:

Yr 1: Short Hills Mall. By far one of, if not THE snobiest mall in NJ
Yr 2: Walt Whitman, I think. I know it was LI, and since that's not NJ, I just don't know.
Yr 3: Palisades Center Mall in NY. I think that's Rockland County, but again, it's not NJ, so I couldn't really care. :) People like to say it's snobby, but it's anchored by Target. I hear they also have a Steve & Barry's, which for those that don't know, everything is $9.99 or less, or something cheap like that. It's certainly not the calibur of Short Hills.

My vote is for Garden State Plaza since they haven't gone there yet, however traffic in Paramus is going to be a bitch on Saturday. Anchored by Macy's, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, and Nordstrom's. There's also a few places for the homeless to get, um, refreshements. ;)

I really hope they tell us where it's going to be in advance. I'd hate to have to drive into NYC and follow the bus.

I work within a mile of the Garden State plaza and pass it on 4 twice a day. The mall frequently closes the parking lot this time of year. Saturday would be insane. I would suspect that no one gets in that lot after 11am. Wouldn't be a good spot for fans. It is an easy trip from Manhattan though so it's probably on the short list.

[Amazingkaddycap]

I don't see how they can NOT do the shopping spree live, what made the shopping spree great in years past is all the PEST showing up and calling in with updates. This bit has to be done live, that way its more gooder.
I agree but, with the Free Fm deal it just won't work live. And don't forget, How crowded do you think the Malls are gonna be? What time do the malls open. In the past they were an afternoon show. HSS doesn't work in the mornings.. Thats why its on Sat. Put some thought into and you will see its the only way. But i do like the live Sat raw feed for us Xmers. Fuck CBS

IN the same sense they can do it in the afternoon during the week like they did prior to the CBS deal on XM, as you say FUCK CBS, they are Xm's kids anyway.

[cokelogic]

It's simple really... think of how many more people will be there on a Saturday over a Friday.No one is arguing with having the HSS on a Saturday, that's fine. The problem we'd like the unedited/live feed to be broadcast on that Saturday. Everything is better live and I want to hear every second of these hobos ruining a mall. Then a more polished version Monday.

[Douchebag Listener]

I got the impression they were broadcasting it live, too. I'm already pissed with FreeFM in general and don't need anymore of this crap.

[distortion9]

Year 2 was at Roosevelt Field.

I'm feeling Walt Whitman this year, especially with Op talking it up a couple of weeks ago, plus, right by FH Rileys.

[BillyLiar]

I wonder how much money FreeFM is putting behind this event? If it's alot more than XM, That's probably why they can say weather or not XM plays it live.

I understood not playing the halloween show, since last year's was horrible to listen to.. but I think this should be live on both platforms.. they can do it on freeFM on a HUGE delay.. then on XM as well. It's not like either one has any kind of weekend programming, and they're not going to ruin ratings for mondays show, since the average person won't listen to the radio on a saturday afternoon.

[PuddingChest]

If its not live on XM, it's just another reason to say "Fuck Free FM"

[badcellphoneguy]

FREE FM blows!!! They should have done the following for a live show. Move the Radio Chick to 6-10am. Have O and A take the 3-7pm slot. Plus you can have your taped affiliates have a live show. The show should be live and raw for people on XM no excuses on this one. This was one of things I was worried about with this deal.

[nneptune]

If its not live on XM, it's just another reason to say "Fuck Free FM"

Agreed!
I remember when everyone started complaining the 1st day of the CBS move.
Opie said to at least give it a month, and then we could start complaining...
well, it's been well over a month, and I HATE it!
Fuck FreeFm/CBS!
In my opinion, it's really put a big damper on the whole show.

[MoreImportantly]

In years past, they announce it day of. But since it's going to be recorded on a Saturday evening, they'll have to announce it Friday. This would give the mall plenty of time to prepare with security; which was always a great tease to see if the mall would allow the bums/show to raise hell or not.

I hope it's in Jersey. I do I do...

[generoso]

Year 2 was at Roosevelt Field.

I'm feeling Walt Whitman this year, especially with Op talking it up a couple of weeks ago, plus, right by FH Rileys.
Could have a point there. Also cloest to Fh Rileys at the end. That mall stinks though. Let the Speculation begin. I'll start a poll throw out some names of malls they have not been to. And tonight i'll take the top 10 or 5 and start it.
Walt Whitman
Sunrise mall at Massapequa
Garden State plaza
West Nyak mall

Give me a few more..Or Maybe WBL can recommend one to us..

[MarshmallowRain]

Good sig there gene, didn't get to hear the payout of tuesday's show whether Pat got reinstated or not with the ifoce. Since not familiar with the geography of the area there's a snobbish type of mall in seacaucus that with the smelly homeless running amok would be radio gold, a friend of mine who lives back in that area says. With today's show where Big Red was introduced it adds that element to the show that something could go wrong if him and Tippy Tom crosses paths.

[distortion9]

Definitely not Sunrise Mall.....no bar, a bums gotta drink.

[NoFilterPaul]

Ok, for the last time - this is going to be Saturday afternoon, and apparently live on FreeFM and XM (Opie said that the other day!)

[mascan42]

Judging from the size of the crowd at Roosevelt Field, there'd be no room to move through a mall the size of Walt Whitman. And Sunrise is a shit mall. The whole point is to go to a classy place and watch the horrified looks on the customers' faces.

How far into L.I. is it?

[Whisky River]

got to be live

[HummerTuesdays]

I have to agree with NFP - the way Opie was talking it seemed like it would be live on Free FM (not sure if it'll be on XM too), so that listeners can get updates & possibly get to the mall to join the crowd.

Op also said they may announce the destination on Friday to give us time to plan in advance. This seems like it might be less of a cluster fuck than the Halloween ticket distribution.

[mcmagic]

Anyone know when the BBBBBoys will announce where it will be?

[nneptune]

Ok, for the last time - this is going to be Saturday afternoon, and apparently live on FreeFM and XM (Opie said that the other day!)

This ought to be interesting.
XM should (always) get dibs on when things happen.
Fuck, I hate FreeFM!

[Xyn]

I hope it is live on XM.

I can believe it could be live on XM.

But it would be pretty hard to do it live on Free FM. Not only the homeless people swearing at times, but what about the crowds of people? Maybe they would be on good enough behavior to not start a chant, but a few stray curses are bound to slip through, meaning rampant dumps or fines (AAAAAL).

I do hope it's live on XM though.

[VilleDick]

Ok, for the last time - this is going to be Saturday afternoon, and apparently live on FreeFM and XM (Opie said that the other day!)

I was under the same impression. Opie def said this would be live on Saturday. I'm sure 202 will get the uncensored cut, the FM portion will be terrible. This should be exclusive to XM IMHO, let the Free Fm cheapos suffer.

[NoFilterPaul]

Anyone know when the BBBBBoys will announce where it will be?

They are announcing it on Friday

[GoodDaySir]

Yep, definitely live on XM this Saturday.:) :icon_surp :)

[TonyBagels]

OK, as most threads here do, this one has seemed to digress. It's not a CBS vs XM thread. The boys explained it earlier. The show will be live on XM and live on Free-FM in New York. Other affiliates may carry it live as well, but sure as shit it'll be hacked up on FM. Nonetheless, the malls were (in order) Short Hills, very high end NJ; Roosevelt Fields, on LI; and The Palisades Center, not at all a high-end mall but huge and crowded. Since the question has been answered on today's broadcast (live vs. taped) the next question would be where and when will they announce the place. I think part of the fun of previous HSS was the announcement of the mall. They didn't announce it until the bus was either in route or just before it arrives. That is the best because the snooty mall is taken by surprise (remember stores closing the gates/doors at Short Hills). That being said, I'll take part in the recommendations of locations. I suggest The Westchester. It's in White Plains and rather high-end.

[cokelogic]

Ok, for the last time - this is going to be Saturday afternoon, and apparently live on FreeFM and XM (Opie said that the other day!)I must have missed that the other day, but today Opie made it very clear that the HSS will be broadcast live. Thantastic!

[ESDisamick]

cant wait. these are the best

[ramoooone202]

where is it gonna be?

[Ballbuster1]

where is it gonna be?
Won't be announced til probably friday.

[mikeybot]

Wasn't Short Hills last year?
I don't think they'd hit the same one two years in a row

[Hoagie]

These message board thingies work much better when you read what people have posted. And since the people that don't bother to read other people's posts won't read this one either and will ask again, they are announcing the location on Friday.

[kingrat]

Nice pic kid.....WTF is that?

It's a 2.5 meg gif. Ugh!

[mightymalachi]

I think it would be either the Westchester or Roosevelt Field. It's the only two you've suggested they haven't been to.

[Kurto2021]

I hope it is in Wichita at Towne East Mall. Then it is only about 5 miles from me

[Hoagie]

I hope it is in Wichita at Towne East Mall. Then it is only about 5 miles from meGod dammit! Did you have to give away the secret location? Now the security is gonna crack down. I'm already hearing reports of tanks blocking the doors and an aircraft carrier in the fountain.

[SurlyTruckDrivr]

anyone from Mass/RI area thinking of going down

[opies_right_leg]

I hope xm brings it to us live

[SonnyForelli]

anyone from Mass/RI area thinking of going down

Yup I am going with Mrs Forelli

[pmoney316]

I hope xm brings it to us live

You are in luck. I don't know if they mentioned it today, because I listen to the replay, but on their site they have this:

The annual Homeless Shopping Spree is happening this SATURDAY from 2pm to 6pm EST. We'll be broadcasting LIVE on XM and in New York, and the rest of the country will hear the show on Monday December 18th. We're going to a snooty mall...perhaps one a short distance from your house.

[phoenix007]

it should always be live, edited versions just not the same

[blacknoi]

it should always be live, FM versions just not the same

I fixed it for you.

[Don West]

Garden State Plaza would be amazing. That place scores highly on the snob-o-meter

[PKSConrad]

Looks like I'll be sitting in my car for 4 hours on Saturday...one of my favorite shows of the year for sure!

[nneptune]

My wife will be pissed that I'll be sitting around listening to the show, but tough shit! I love the shopping spree!:icon_evil

[PKSConrad]

I've been slowly spreading the virus to my g/f (doesn't that sound a little f'd up!) and have told her about the HSS for awhile now...she is intrigued and will most likely be joining me in listening to most/all of the show.

[boombots]

I just got a call from my brother in law, who's a cop in the North Jersey area. He said they were beefing up the cops at a local mall in town, because his lieutenant(sp?) caught word that O&A might be "releasing" homeless in the mall. However this isn't the same mall that Opie mentioned on Tuesday.(Short Hills)

[PKSConrad]

My ex g/f used to live in Pompton Plains and there is a mall in Wayne, NJ I believe that is only an hour's drive from Manhattan...perhaps that is the one...

[Rev]

My ex g/f used to live in Pompton Plains and there is a mall in Wayne, NJ I believe that is only an hour's drive from Manhattan...perhaps that is the one...I might be wrong, but I think the Willowbrook Mall is in Wayne NJ.
It's a decent sized mall. Not as big as Pallisades or Garden State Plaza though.

[Ballbuster1]

They announced today that it will be the Short Hills Mall at 2pm Saturday.

We'll be there, can't wait! :)

I know, heard Opie say it. I was just asnwering the previous post.

But... I really wouldn't be surprised if Opie was laying a decoy with that. Promos haven't reflected the announcement, and their site hasn't added it.

One place or another, I'll cya'll there!

[NoSurviivors]

short hills again! Not a bad choice when it comes to the snob factor

I hope not. If it's north of the city or on LI , I can't make it.
I have something to do that night and I can only squeeze in an hour
or 2 if it is at the Short Hills Mall or further south in NJ.

[BeltOfScotch]

There can't possibly be a better mall when it comes to the snob factor.

I don't see why he would do that. They want the fans there. And this year of all years he probably wants as many fans as possible so they announced it ahead of time instead of the surprise like back in the day.

[Rumrunner]

I live a few minutes away and go all the time to just entertain my 2 year old, they just opened up an AMEX members lounge at the mall on the lower level, you just need an american express card to get in, really posh, with free refreshments/coffee, coat check, gift wrapping and free internet access. This gives the chance for people to reenergize and spend more money. I am a cheapskate and just go for the free coffee to go and change the dirty diapers for my kids in their restroom..

I'm sure every husband that doesn't have an AmEx card got one just to get in there while their wives are out spending his hard earned money..

[Sack of Chisels]

opie mentioned carpooling would be wise... anyone from around middlesex county up for carpooling? i'd like to go but if it's impossible to even park, or having to park too far away then it's a waste of time.

[Hunter777]

Hi all, if anybody in the Wayne area wants to carpool, let me know. I'm thinking about leaving around 12 or 12:30, never been to Short Hills so a navigator would be nice. PM me here on WB if anybody wants to carpool or meet and caravan there.

Hunter777

[Chasboots]

I'm in southern Warren County if anyone is interested. I am trying to coerce my wife to go but she's probably going to remain a wet blanket about attending this bit of radio/Christmas shopping gold. You'd think she would WANT to go Short Hills....

[NoSurviivors]

I'm probably going to show up to witness the carnage and finish some shopping as well... if anyone needs a ride, throw me a PM. I'm driving from Whitehouse Station.

[MeltedHelmet]

I will be there. Coming from Monmouth County

If you want a bette look at the lounge..

Here is my review and pictures of it. (http://www.78west.com/wordpress/?p=140)

I came in this thread to suggest the same thing, if you can get them into that lounge it will be pretty amazing.

Each person with a card can take in one guest. All you need to do is show your card at the entrance to it, they check to see if it's valid and you can go around back and get lots of free stuff as Rumrunner posted.

[PALLY]

going to be fun!!!

Cant wait!

[Lil'Hatbox]

Does anyone have any info on parking and what-not?

I'm tyring to plan a trip from Philly and don't know if the Train would be a good idea or loading everyone up in the SUV would be (more nicer).

Anyone know if a bus runs from the train station to the mall or if there are plans for an XM shuttle bus from someplace close?

[Hoagie]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to go. It sounds like it'll be a madhouse.

[deadfruitvirus]

So the HSS will be carried on XM, DirecTV, WFNY-FM, WYSP......and that's it? God, what's wrong with these people?

edit: and WBCN? It's mentioned on their homepage.

[Chasboots]

And I am sure with those "few" outlets, O&A will STILL have more listeners on Saturday than Howie does on any given weekday...

:EDIT: And let's not forget the Internet feed too!

damn i wish i lived closer to new york...sounds like this is gonna be a great homeless shopping spree with the free FM and XM listeners showing up

[Lil'Hatbox]

Thanks Hummer.

I figure I'm just going to use the force and stay away from the no-parking signs.

I'll probly be 3 miles from the mall, but that makes for more lawns to urinate on during the walk back to the truck.

I wonder if there are any good drinking establishments in the mall or close by. A man can't shop without beer, now can he?

Don't forget to see the official info thread which is currently stickied at the top of this forum.

I didn't read through all of both threads... Do we know if the boys are going to be broadcasting from the mall or the studio, like the did last year?

The best idea is to park at the Livingston Mall and walk over.


Thats a little joke for all my Jersey friends!! HRRUMPH!!

I'm always gettin screwed over shit like this, I gotta work tomorrow from 3-7

They better replay the show on Monday morning. Fuck JV & Elvis. No one listens to the manyway. Play the whole replay of Saturday's show on Monday morning.

YESSSS another station (the one I listen to) is going to be playing it live tomorrow afternoon!

It was mentioned (a handfull of times now!) that WEDG 103.3 The Edge is going to be playing Opie and Anthony's Homeless Shopping Spree LIVE 2pm to 6pm Saturday afternoon... Im so pumped now, I don't have to wait for the replay and can check out my first one live! and so can everyone in WNY!

[gambit32]

I'll be there, driving down from Port Ewen NY. Finally! My first real O&A event.

[bethm1b]

I will show up. However...Reverand Al the niggys pal is doing a million moolie march down 5th ave. tomorrow. Getting there will be fine, but getting through that mob of peaceful protesters without being ***** and robbed will be the main problem.

I'm stuck here in Illinois and wish I could go, so to all that are going have a great time. I'll be listening of XM.

ummmmmm...ok

that'd be a wee bit of a walk dontcha think?

[Hudson]

Does anyone have any info on parking and what-not?

I'm tyring to plan a trip from Philly and don't know if the Train would be a good idea or loading everyone up in the SUV would be (more nicer).

Anyone know if a bus runs from the train station to the mall or if there are plans for an XM shuttle bus from someplace close?
Try Going to the Summit trainstation there is a bus that runs to the mall.
There are a few bars in the mall but EXPENSIVE.

Im greatly looking forward to the HSS tomorrow afternoon but I must admit that I was a little dissapointed to hear that certain Free FM stations will be carrying the show live. Not so much because the live broadcast wont be 'XM exclusive' as many of us hoped it would be, but because of the potential for 10 minutes commercial breaks three times an hour. If they do the same amount of breaks that they normally do during the week than that could seriously screw up the flow of the show. AH, well, guess we'll just have to wait and see...

C'mon. These are O & A fans we're talking about. Nothing but tip-top shape for us lean listeners!!

(We could make that walk in 6 hours, no problem!) :icon_wink
