Hiya!

 

[LineBackerU]

Did a single person let alone a bunch of people actually contact Opie and tell him that they didn't think there would be a live show today?

 

[Bluestreak]

Gooood mornin'.
I'm working from home for the next couple of weeks, so that means I'll be here more, drinking more, playing more video games, and jackin' like a caged chimp.
I'd better start hydrating.

 

[Master Paux]

Morning folks. How's the show been lately?

 

[sentrymechanic]

More bitching... Nothing new

 

[transit grinder]

Shit I forgot about Bobby Lee and his insane appearances on the show.

I love to share the story he told about shitting himself on stage dressed as Connie Chung on MadTV because he was detoxing.

Nice job making an important and impactful post on #16.
Go outside, do something productive, like fuck the radiator of a moving 18wheeler.

 

[Bluestreak]

when's that new server move?

 

[English Gent]

Gotta say, I thought the closing ceremony was fucking amazing last night.

 

[English Gent]

One disappointment: no performance from Gary Glitter.

 

[LineBackerU]

Opie is complaining about medleys? Didn't he think it was genius for them to do medleys after they had Tommy Shaw in and he played small bits of multiple songs instead of just 1 or 2 full songs?

 

[English Gent]

Highlight of the night: Boris dad dancing to the Spice Girls.

Oh.. ok.

Jesus.. overreact much? He's not exactly saying anything outrageous or out of line.

 

[English Gent]

Madness is still a very big band here and on the Continent.

I was so annoyed that I couldn't go to Coachella mainly because of Pulp and Madness.

Saw Madness live last year. Great gig.

 

[Bluestreak]

With all the experience Opie has in radio as a board op, does he not know how hard it is to EQ an event of that size?
Spice Girls are live over a track.

 

[English Gent]

I genuinely don't get the Russell Brand hate. He's an interesting guy and, at his best, his stand up is fucking funny.

 

[CousinDave]

So glad I didn't watch any of the Olympics

 

[stevenknight]

I'm not listening, but let me guess, Opie "didn't get it" and therefore thinks it was terrible? (I loved it, specifically the last 40 minutes, topping it off with The Who and fireworks was amazing).

Indeed. Brand X was the shit before the suits got their hands on it and tried to give it direction.

 

[English Gent]

Shut the fuck up, Seacrest.

Yea but that was 3 years ago now, the times have changed

Might show he is doing his job. I'd think as a comic you want a reaction from people. If people's reaction was "meh" then he'd be washed up. I just noticed I have no point and should have just stayed quiet. I stink.
