Show Open - Lil Jimmy's threat, R. Kelly, and so on and so on and so on
This was probably the longest first break of the new show, they went about 90 minutes.
We started off the show with some nice gagging from Op and Ant over a methane gas explosion of out Norton's ass. Ben had to spray lysol and was actually lighting candles in the studio to try and drown it out. Norton's excuse was that he gets nervous at the beginning of the show sometimes, when the music starts.
The boys also talked about how people must be spreading the virus because subscriber numbers are doing well, and that the office is looking great and might be done by Friday.
Couple of brief discussions about some news items:
-New sex tape could come out that has R.Kelly and Gary Sheffield's wife from when she was 18 with another chick.
-The NY Post's photoshop picture of George Steinbrenner and Pedro Martinez led to a nice rant from Anthony about Fox News and the Post complaining about calling them "homicide bombers" instead of "suicide bombers" and how our snipers are called "sharpshooters" because it doesn't sound as bad. The boys mentioned a recent documentary called OutFox which shows some of the not so cool stuff Fox does in their reporting.
Well anybody who wants the guys to talk more about their personal lives got a nice dose of Opie today as he talked about taking his mom to see The Incredibles last night. As some might have known, Opie's dad was killed in a car accident about three months ago, unbelievably the person who hit their car has not said anything to their family.
At first Op's mom wanted to see Bridget Jones, but he wouldn't even go that far, prompting Ant to say that shows just how bad that movie is. Mom didn't want to see a cartoon at first, but Opie convinced her and both thought it was great.
While Opie hit the movies, Anthony sat in a dark room (just my guess) playing Half-Life 2. Op mentioned how the original got Anthony through his last months of his marriage and how he was playing 20 hours a day. Ant loves the new game, he's pretty much put off playing GTA for this and the new Everquest, where's he's already a Level 13 Sorcerer. Anthony has seen some complaints from people about the new Half Life with choppy graphics and sound problems, but with his master computer gaming system, he has no problems.
Some brief book discussions after Norton said he had been working on a book idea last night. Apparently people are very interested in putting out an O&A book and they're pretty close to finishing it.
The boys almost took a break but decided to start in to the top 20 songs of all time according to Rolling Stone. Opie said these lists usually stink but this one is ok, Ant said the two have different music tastes so he's still not so big on it. Some more brief talk about music including that Opie now has all of Johnny Cash's work after Norton introduced him to it.
On to the list:
20 - The Beatles "Let it Be" - No arguments from the boys here.
19 - Elvis "Hound Dog" - If anything, the guys wanted more Elvis on the list, especially Norton wanting Love Me Tender. Op had a bell ringing comment with "I think he stole this from a darkie."
18 - Chuck Berry "Maybellene" - Not much talk about the song, but considering the guy liked having women shit on a glass table while he lied underneath it and hid a video camera in the women's bathroom of his restaurant, that's understandable.
17 - Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze" - Mostly focused on the fact that this song is one of the 20 songs that every classic rock station plays all day every day.
16 - The Beatles "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" - Not really sure if this should be on the list, the boys were talking about this being one of those songs that's on the list for the influence of the band at the time and not the song.
Quick detour here about how Norton hates Rolling Stone b/c they never put Ozzy on the cover.
15 - The Clash "London Calling" - Somehow Norton has never heard this song. One of Opie's favorites, Ant talks about the people who listened to this music in the 80's and a Cars mention leads to an argument about whether they were ever any good.
Quick detour for an OZONE MIDGET SIGHTING, caller saw one of our little friends carrying a small, but big to him, roll of carpet.
14 - Bob Dylan "Blowin' in the Wind" - The boys are not big Dylan fans, Opie says he was awful live.
13 - The Beatles "Yesterday" - Not much talk about song. Opie wants to send Sexbagel out to Strawberry Fields. Some talk about how awful it is that Michael Jackson owns the Beatles collection, which leads Anthony to compare the Beatles collection to their WNEW bits, "Butt Plug is our Yesterday."
Quick detour about a commercial the guys had to read about a cancer hospital, one time they read it to circus music and got in just a little trouble.
12 - Sam Cooke "A Change is Gonna Come" - Nobody knew it at first until they recognized it from the death scene in Malcolm X.
11 - The Who "My Generation" - One of Opie's favorites, Norton is not a fan because it's not Sabbath
10 - Ray Charles "What Did I Say" - Nobody knows it, just lets Ant sing America the Beautiful as Ray.
9 - Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - No complaints here.
8 - Beatles "Hey Jude" Norton would rather see My Life on the list, they all like the song but maybe not this high on the list.
7 - Chuck Berry "Johnny B. Goode" - If this is on the list, as it should be according to the boys, why Maybellene too? Ant likes the Back to the Future Michael J. Fox version better. Norton mentions his love for Fox's cover of "Shake, Rattle and Roll" (cringe).
6 - Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" - Should be on the list, Ant mentions this would be another great Michael J. Fox cover.
Uh oh ... Intern Derek brought Norton coffee that wasn't Starbucks. He said he hadn't done a coffee run in three weeks. Opie tries to play it off by calling Norton a diva, Norton says he goes to Starbucks because it's always good and the bodegas give money to the terrorists. Either way, Derek's mistake gives us ...
Sorry but you won't be getting a recap of the Rent Boys reading of the day.
5 - Aretha Franklin "Respect" - Norton is not happy at all.
4 - Marvin Gaye "What's Goin On" - Ant again says this song is more about it's influence when it came out than the song being any good.
3 - John Lennon "Imagine" - More talk here about A Perfect Circle's great cover than the original.
2 - Rolling Stones "Satisfaction" - Ant is not a fan this high on the list, he says when it comes on the radio he doesn't even get to the lyrics before switching. The boys also notice no Zeppelin in the top 20.
And finally ...
1 - Bob Dylan "Like a Rolling Stone" - The groans start once the word Dylan comes out of Opie's mouth. Nobody likes this one.
Steve C talks briefly about a flash animation contest on newgrounds.com but after 90 minutes everyone seems pretty spent so the classic 100 Grand bit leads us into the first break.
Show comes back with Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal
Some brief talk about Vincent D'Onofrio (of Full Metal Jacket fame) and these other people saying they've been physically ill since Bush won. Norton talks about how the election showed all these celebrities how worthless their opinions are, they were heard, but no-one cared.
Quick shift to cosmetic surgery reality shows like The Swan and Extreme Makeover. Ant's point is that these shows usually have young women whose looks can be saved but he sees all these 40 and 50 year old women that get work done and look awful. Norton wants to make a new plastic surgery show for burn victims and sounds very excited about the prospect of getting chin implants.
Caller started off on Norton and it sounded like we were going to get another rant, but they took care of it pretty quickly, no yelling needed.
This switched us over to the Monday Night Football controversy and showing the actress' back jumpin into Terrell Owens' arms. The boys agreed that Nicolette Sheridan is still hot and that people in the red states probably didn't like it because she's white and was jumping into TO's "strapping" (says Norton) black arms. ABC apologizes right away, the boys wish someone would just say we thought it was funny fuck off.
We got a quick indirect Sex for Sam reference about the media always making things sound worse than they are, all the viewer saw was her back and the news talks like you saw everything.
Calling in next was Jim from PA, who needs to get laid. At 15 he was in a boating accident (bringing in the necessary Jaws and Cleveland Indian pitchers references) that left him in a coma for three months and three and a half years of outpatient services (cue Deniro laugh). He's basically blind, has no balance, and he's never got anything more than a BJ when he was 14. Opie wants to get this guy laid somehow, his first thought is Stalker Patti, but Norton tells him to give away his free NY Confidential hour. XM Legal doesn't like this, but the boys want to work something out, and the listeners are already offering cash and rides for this guy to get to NYC. After the call the boys are ready for break 2.
**TEASE ALERT** Coming soon, the fraternity hazing story, Opie says he's ready to climb in the barrel.
Fag Talk takes us to the break.
Coming back with the Fatboy Slim remix of Signs.
Ben and Opie went to a Fatboy Slim show after the Passion of O&A, there was no line at the bar because everyone was tripping on E, X or whatever the kids call it these days.
Caller said he used to live up near where Op went to school and said he dated a girl who said she had implants in her lower lips and that's why they were so big. Opie brings up some bar slut Hoover who could make finish off any guy in less than three minutes with some oral favors. The caller actually knows who he's talking about.
And now the update everyone was looking for, Mike the pussy from Buffalo, who first called in during the 1st or 2nd week. He's finally done with the girl he was stuck in the friend zone with, banged Jay Leno chin again, but not Old ScarChest. Mike brings up some girl he banged from work, got some nice lines out of the boys on that ("Price check on this cock!"). Apparently she had a nice body but the face needs some work, Mike decided to call because she went to give him a BJ but took her teeth out first. He said it's the best ever, but the boys all agree no matter how good it is, it's just too disgusting.
Blind Dave from Connecticut called in, saying Mike makes him feel better about himself, he at least has a girlfriend. The boys talk about how it's always different for him, all the girl has to do is change perfumes.
The boys bring up their first chance at an almost A-list celebrity, but Brian Williams, soon to be NBC news anchor ended up cancelling. Norton said he should have because it just wouldn't go well, they're like the girl looking for a relationship but end up finishing off every guy in a bar in three minutes or less each.
The topic switched over to the Virgin Mary cheese sandwich story for sale on Ebay. The bidding got up to 70K but ebay took it down because they thought it was a joke. The seller said no it's a real sandwich so it's back on the site. This led to some discussion about other ridiculous people seeing religious figures in trees and glass, some talk about an O&A intern who was going to ruin one of them down in Perth Amboy and got chased off because of it. All this sandwich stuff has led to some other items on ebay ...
Some brief talk about a scam e-mail Ant got from some guy who says he has access to a fortune in Nigeria, just give him your bank account number and he'll give you 1/3 of 30 million bucks. Some people actually fall for this and other scams. Norton brings up missing his mom's birthday yesterday and says if his parents give away his inheritance with these awful scams he'll make them go back to work.
A couple of guys in Chicago have been bugging Opie about their own put the lotion on its skin song they did. The boys played it, not done to be funny but a good 80's New Wave kind of deal. They then played the original song on the way to the next break.
Coming back from the break with a Filter song I can't remember the name of.
We finally get the story of the pledge beating, or not. Ant says he doesn't get the whole fraternity thing and why anyone would join. Op talks about how at his school is was a big deal and he did it for the great parties and the women. He tried to quit halfway through pledging but the brothers basically threatened to kick the shit out of him if he did.
Caller talks about a friend of his who died when a fraternity made him drink so much water it killed him. When he stepped on Ant trying to make an Animal House reference, we got a little taste of Ant Rage, "I'm glad your friend is dead!"
And now Opie jumps in the barrel. He talks about being paddled during pledging, and having to wear kotex pads as blindfolds on the last night. The brothers made them pull feces out of a toilet (later said it was bananas). But that wasn't the kicker. They had to play "Bomb the DK House," which meant grabbing marshmallows with their ass cheeks and waddling over to the DK house (a dollhouse he was guessing) and dropping the marshmallows. The only good thing for Op out of telling this story was he gets out of one Rent Boys reading if he screws up.
Op tried to change the subject and go back to the original story, but it just wasn't happening. Too many lines to bring up, Ant used the Brady Bunch music, one guy sent in feedback asking if Jim McGreevey was the house president ("I am a marshmallow carrying American."), caller asks when Op did the cum cookie. After Op finally crawled out of the barrel, it was time for the last break.
**TEASER ALERT** Frank Caliendo on the phone after the break.
Coming back with some song I don't know.
Op is complaining that all the other frat guys that had to do this crap are leaving him out to dry.
Frank Caliendo is going to close out the show, the boys bring up his great new W impression. He does some lines and it is really good. Does some Madden as well, but Ben plays the Fox football music instead of Monday Night Football, and we know what that means ... Rent Boys tomorrow. Some talk about Terry Bradshaw as well, Frank does his plugs as W, the boys leave him out to dry when his last joke doesn't go off very well, and he promises to come in studio when he's in NYC next.
The football talk reminds Ant of going to school as a kid with Boomer Esiason and how he got in a fight with him for calling him Norman, but broke his arm trying to punch him before the fight even started.
Opie gives the listeners an assignment, call in with good hazing stories tomorrow, don't leave him out to dry.
Some quick What Did I Learns and we're out, only preview for tomorrow is Ben reading Rent Boys.
November 17th 2004 - "The bombs, I believe, were marshmallows"
