I really think Opie is better now on his own than with Jim. They just dont work together without Ant at all. Alot of people hate opie, and there are things to hate him for.. but when he relaxes and fills the room with fun people, it really works great. Not many radio shows are as good as that.
they need jimmy. and jimmy is in a tough spot. hes locked in with that scum bag sam but at the same time, its jimmy's fault. im dissapointed with jimmy working with sam. they got nothing!
Atheieye With the inevitable death of the PC culture, it is not going to be difficult for Sirius to bring back Ant. And even if some people were furious with it, fuck em! We don't have to deal with PC bull shit anymore because its losing. If i was Sirius, I would have that show back on tomorrow. What is sam gonna do, sue? The guys would hate him for it and he would be gone permanently.
That show is awful, I like Jim and I could Sam was tolerable when he was on O&A but when he got his own show it was painful and now Jim is thrown in and words can't describe how bad it is. Opie's show has it's moments depending on who his guests are but he's obviously still unhappy and wants out. Seems like pod casts are where it's heading.
Norcal I do too... hopefully, there will be a Greg and Tony Show with the creepy theme music they had for it in 2005... It was referenced in one of Bill Burr's first appearances
I grew up on these guys. It's nice to see them back together even if it's just for a phone call. Alot of people hate on op or ant, but they are like peanut butter and jelly, they re styles are completely different but when put together something magical happens. But that same difference created misunderstanding and miscommunication, their gift is also their curse. I'm hoping they can put their differences aside and at least do one last full show for the fans, we deserve a little closure.
You know what is really the best about these calls. They are talking because they want to, not because they have to. That's what brings back the "magic" they have.
It looks like opie really saw what time it is and wants to jump ship and see if he can rebuild a ship with Anthony "the talent". It looks like Anthony is just cruising through his career and even made a couple strides and opie has been going through some rough bumps with his career. I'm not going to lie them regrouping would be a big moment in my life. Their chemistry is undeniable and I would definitely get a satilite radio if a regrouping happens :)
The chemistry between you two is great, regardless of anything personal that's happened in the past. It sounds like the show there may be coming to an end, and if you joined with Ant at his studio, I would absolutely subscribe to it.
the bottom line is you don't have to be friends outside of radio, but you both know where your bread is buttered...TOGETHER! !! it's best that way!! it's magical. ...lol
I don't care if I sound like a fruit. When ever they talk to each other, it's just like back in the day. They don't skip a beat. It sucks that they are not together.
the XM years were fantastic. They were able to do edgy bits like the 55 gal drum challenge, homeless shopping spree etc. Itd be great if the boys could get together a few times a year and do some kind of structured bits like the aforementioned.
I just listened to the 55gallon drum bits today and hearing them happy and liking each other bummed me out so much knowing how much they hate each other now 😭 it sucks lol
If these two were this good on a phone call, how good were they at the top of their game? Makes me wish I hadn't wasted all those years listening to Stern.
I think it would be a smart business move on Sirius to terminate the ban on Ant and let them do the show together again. Would be a huge amount of people tuning in including people not familiar with the show due to the hype that would be around it.
I remember there were a lot of times when Ant wasn't there and Opie would get very stressed out without him. There was one time Jim left early and Opie kinda freaked saying its stressful enough without Ant here! And now here they are together again in a time of uncertainty for both. It's just natural for them and I cannot believe that Sirius doesn't see how great they are together. This bullshit ban is such poor business sense, it's crazy they're still in business. Howard is barely there and moving more into TV so he can't possibly be bringing in subscribers the way he used to.
Wasn't a fan back in their day, doing other shit, but these two are terrific together. If they did a simulcast with the formatting of dueling comedians at each studio, they'd get my sub. Period.
right when i was gonna get xm the show broke up.. patrice and other great comics (listen to clips on yt) had me lovin the show .. you divcover how funny everyone is..
21:17 ooft, that one had to feel like a spear through the soul for Opie. Wonder if Ant knew as that was coming out of his mouth that there was no hope for reconciliation...
I can just picture Opie putting tape on the floor like Les Nessman, pretending they're walls... polishing his buckeye news-hawk awards on the windowsill... if you want to speak to him, you knock on the imaginary door... poor guy. lol
These guys needed a break from each other. Problem is the way it happened was not the way it should have happened. When Opie's contract ends he will team up with Anthony again. Opie and Jimmy need to make peace as there are bad feelings there.
Anthony is so wrong about adopting a pet ! He said you are getting someone else's problem... So wrong! You are getting a dog or cat who with love and patience will be the best . Most people buy Purebreed animals than don't want to invest patience , and love to train the animal. So off to the shelter they go. Save a life and adopt! My best dog ever is my rescue ✌
Much as i love to hate opie he was pretty funny here. And there is a certain chemistry between him and ant that is missing in any other radio show that has appeared since. They are the best and some of the old shows are timeless and hilarious
junior soprano he was simply the guy everyone loved to hate. Without all that, shit fell apart. Listening to these guys in their own shows makes it all sound incomplete after we got used to decades of these guys together. If they ever get back together, they need Bill as a regular since they need a guy to stand in for Patrice and his common sense and wisdom on female bullshit. Patrice was the glue keeping the old O&A together when shit got crazy in the studio. Opie felt angry about a lot of shit Ant said or did because it jeopardize their jobs. He felt Ant didn't give a fuck about their radio job and the shit they built together over the years, but he was never man enough to come out and say it. Instead, he played the passive aggressive bs we all hated him for.
I've listened to the whole saga and as much as I think opie might not have gone to bat for ant and maybe he got a little psycho and in his own head, but jeezo who can blame him? He was taking so much heat in the early days of the split. I'm not a huge fan but I respect Opie hard.... Real real hard
Op, you guys are amazing together and I agree with someone else here, you're a lot more funny without Jimmy (and I love Jimmy). Glad you guys have this awesome chemistry still.
The moment everything went wrong with the show was November 29th 2011. That's when it hit a breaking point. The death of Patrice O'Neal was the last straw of funny that was holding the show togeather. Just knowing Patrice would be on at some point in the future made the show funnier.
You must've lived in a two block radius near that station. Damn frustrating that the reception was only good at the crest of a hill as you were bending your antenna to a 67-1/2 degree angle on a partly cloudy day. Those days were my first taste of this brilliance too. Nice callback.
They need to get back together, somehow grab Norton and Sam, Voss and Colin start dropping by... it's unannounced but they hire Van Halen to play "We're Back" which is used for the intro to the new show...
Look I’m not blaming the lovely Nia, but Nia is the complete reason burr never talked to ant again. Burr and ant were the only duo that could nonstop argue and still be comedy gold
Part of our "court appointed" phone call sessions
#BRILLIANT
I really think Opie is better now on his own than with Jim. They just dont work together without Ant at all. Alot of people hate opie, and there are things to hate him for.. but when he relaxes and fills the room with fun people, it really works great. Not many radio shows are as good as that.
I agree, but I do think SiriusXM caused a lot of the issues between Grego & jimmy!
it's always great hearing you guys together!!
They get more chummy each time they talk.
Jesse G docking imminent
Just listen to these two....CHEMISTRY! LOVE it!
God damn get this show back together
they need jimmy. and jimmy is in a tough spot. hes locked in with that scum bag sam but at the same time, its jimmy's fault. im dissapointed with jimmy working with sam. they got nothing!
Well Ant isn't allowed in the Sirius XM building so that would be kinda difficult
Atheieye
With the inevitable death of the PC culture, it is not going to be difficult for Sirius to bring back Ant. And even if some people were furious with it, fuck em! We don't have to deal with PC bull shit anymore because its losing. If i was Sirius, I would have that show back on tomorrow. What is sam gonna do, sue? The guys would hate him for it and he would be gone permanently.
I haven't listened to too much of the Jim and Sam show. What did Sam do wrong though?
That show is awful, I like Jim and I could Sam was tolerable when he was on O&A but when he got his own show it was painful and now Jim is thrown in and words can't describe how bad it is. Opie's show has it's moments depending on who his guests are but he's obviously still unhappy and wants out. Seems like pod casts are where it's heading.
21:12 I know line of the day hasn't been a thing in YEARS, but Ant nailed it!
lol i like how they can talk openly about that now
Norcal I do too... hopefully, there will be a Greg and Tony Show with the creepy theme music they had for it in 2005... It was referenced in one of Bill Burr's first appearances
Ant is so quick
LAF your goddamn heads off!
I grew up on these guys. It's nice to see them back together even if it's just for a phone call. Alot of people hate on op or ant, but they are like peanut butter and jelly, they re styles are completely different but when put together something magical happens.

I'm hoping they can put their differences aside and at least do one last full show for the fans, we deserve a little closure.
Ope has always been jelly or sumthin tsss
None of that is true. Opie is worthless.
The time has come for Opie and Anthony to get the show back on !
Opie go on Ant's show already wtf.
Kinda hard when their shows run at the same time.
They don't run at the same time. They even announce the different times during this clip.
NemoNobody2092 Seriously. Please LET THIS HAPPEN.
He might now that he's without a job. Notice also that it's always Ant that ends the calls never Op. Whatever that means.
Best call yet. Thanks, Opster!
You know what is really the best about these calls. They are talking because they want to, not because they have to. That's what brings back the "magic" they have.
It looks like opie really saw what time it is and wants to jump ship and see if he can rebuild a ship with Anthony "the talent". It looks like Anthony is just cruising through his career and even made a couple strides and opie has been going through some rough bumps with his career.
I'm not going to lie them regrouping would be a big moment in my life. Their chemistry is undeniable and I would definitely get a satilite radio if a regrouping happens :)
Great stuff, Ope!
Awesome 👏🏽 - i really hope they can iron all that shit out, cuz it's evidently clear #Meant2DoThis
Just here cuz “Ant” (We’re cool like that) makes an appearance.
This fucking warms my heart
This literally feels a prison like visit/phone call session.
great radio as always Opie
gods, this makes me so happy. i hate that they dont get on enough to do a show together anymore
Please get back together and make me laugh often.....
Opie and Anthony is dead. Gregg and Tony show coming soon???
hahahaha i hope so
Okay that vacation time line from ant was actually hilarious after the fact.
These reunions make me so happy.
These are the best videos I've seen in a long time. Love it.
Listening to these calls in 2021 is hilarious. Holy shit did they miss the mark with these predictions 😂
You guys need to get back together. It's great to hear you both on. I have been laughing the whole time.
This would be 10/10 if they wrote bits together and had an agenda like they used to
The chemistry between you two is great, regardless of anything personal that's happened in the past. It sounds like the show there may be coming to an end, and if you joined with Ant at his studio, I would absolutely subscribe to it.
It's great that Op and Ant are talking to each other again.
"I think I said happy holidays but I'm pretty sure I'm seeing you before that" FORESHADOWINGGGGHHH
13:40 E-Rock-"missed you too Ant" #NiceOne
the bottom line is you don't have to be friends outside of radio, but you both know where your bread is buttered...TOGETHER! !! it's best that way!! it's magical. ...lol
fuck! Opie and ant back together again. hope they join up. can't wait. get jimmy on the line. hurry. life is too short.
21:40 and 26:56 Opie pulls up his sleeves every time Ant makes him uncomfortable
You know at the very least i am glad they are talking more. Baby steps
Loving the fact that opie and ant have a regular talk!
Imagine the Biden jokes if opie and Anthony/ jimmy Norton we’re on the air today
Well we can't say they didn't try
Vic Henley looks like the character Stuart from MadTV... "Look what I can do!"
Fuch Goog perfect!
I don't care if I sound like a fruit. When ever they talk to each other, it's just like back in the day. They don't skip a beat. It sucks that they are not together.
Opie at 13:14
"Remember when you asked me about the 'changes' around here at SiriusXM?" lmao
Rest in peace Vic...
Someone should be CHIPing away at these guys egos
@21:57 opie laughs out a boogie and it lands on his arm rest
Excellent work eagle eyes. Anthony would have that chair replaced.
the XM years were fantastic. They were able to do edgy bits like the 55 gal drum challenge, homeless shopping spree etc. Itd be great if the boys could get together a few times a year and do some kind of structured bits like the aforementioned.
I just listened to the 55gallon drum bits today and hearing them happy and liking each other bummed me out so much knowing how much they hate each other now 😭 it sucks lol
Ahhh,the Christmas Spirit,
hysterical. thanks op.
This is so good
"(Trump)'s not going to golf, he wants to work!"
Oof, that didn't age well.
If these two were this good on a phone call, how good were they at the top of their game? Makes me wish I hadn't wasted all those years listening to Stern.
Boy were you guys wrong about Trump taking the least days off out of any president 🤣
I think it would be a smart business move on Sirius to terminate the ban on Ant and let them do the show together again. Would be a huge amount of people tuning in including people not familiar with the show due to the hype that would be around it.
I miss these moments
That other guy is painful to listen to. Punching out.
Missed a good call. Punching out
Well he's dead now, so
I remember there were a lot of times when Ant wasn't there and Opie would get very stressed out without him. There was one time Jim left early and Opie kinda freaked saying its stressful enough without Ant here! And now here they are together again in a time of uncertainty for both. It's just natural for them and I cannot believe that Sirius doesn't see how great they are together. This bullshit ban is such poor business sense, it's crazy they're still in business. Howard is barely there and moving more into TV so he can't possibly be bringing in subscribers the way he used to.
they should do a show from separate studios like kevin & bean.
Line of the year, texted wrong number!
Wasn't a fan back in their day, doing other shit, but these two are terrific together. If they did a simulcast with the formatting of dueling comedians at each studio, they'd get my sub. Period.
finally, chemistry!
Ant was the juice. Everyone knows it.
right when i was gonna get xm the show broke up.. patrice and other great comics (listen to clips on yt) had me lovin the show .. you divcover how funny everyone is..
Vic Henley looks like Peter Cook at the end of his life.
Bryndís Víkingsson LMAO Holy Crap that's gold ! Looks just like him .
Bryndís Víkingsson. vic henley seems. to be a southern. version of jackie martling
Ant famous last words on Trump ; "you're going to see the least vacation time from any President." Haha
21:17 ooft, that one had to feel like a spear through the soul for Opie.
Wonder if Ant knew as that was coming out of his mouth that there was no hope for reconciliation...
I can just picture Opie putting tape on the floor like Les Nessman, pretending they're walls... polishing his buckeye news-hawk awards on the windowsill... if you want to speak to him, you knock on the imaginary door... poor guy. lol
19:55. Holy shit, Opie drops a zinger and nobody catches it.
"Missed you too Ant." ooooh Erock.
Don't know what it is but these two just work...
JUST DO THE REUNION SHOW ALREADY!
Yeah, well, getting the band back together might not that be that easy, Jake.. Good call.
These guys needed a break from each other. Problem is the way it happened was not the way it should have happened. When Opie's contract ends he will team up with Anthony again. Opie and Jimmy need to make peace as there are bad feelings there.
Gods bless Vic, he sounded just like Leslie Jordan as Beverley Leslie
Can someone tell me other than opies firing why did these calls stop?
21:57 is that a booger or spit flying out of Opie
Ugh......def booger. Fucking lands on the arm rest next to him too
Anthony is so wrong about adopting a pet ! He said you are getting someone else's problem... So wrong! You are getting a dog or cat who with love and patience will be the best . Most people buy Purebreed animals than don't want to invest patience , and love to train the animal. So off to the shelter they go. Save a life and adopt! My best dog ever is my rescue ✌

Patrice was the glue keeping the old O&A together when shit got crazy in the studio. Opie felt angry about a lot of shit Ant said or did because it jeopardize their jobs. He felt Ant didn't give a fuck about their radio job and the shit they built together over the years, but he was never man enough to come out and say it.

Opie suddenly looks like Josh Barnett.
Josh Barnett if he was a Welterweight lol
lol she rock
Opie still seems a little uncomfortable with Anthony being the funnier of the two
Baby steps though
At around 20:00 Opie says you can do this anywhere....like bars for example?
Op, you guys are amazing together and I agree with someone else here, you're a lot more funny without Jimmy (and I love Jimmy). Glad you guys have this awesome chemistry still.
So much for no vacations or golf...
RIP Vic Henley.
Opie was always my fav! I miss Jim, but I love the new show like crazy! The phone calls are too fun!
21:58 Nose drippings?
opie obviously needs anthony to kill time.
harambe rip I read that in the voice they were doing
RIP Vic Henley
The moment everything went wrong with the show was November 29th 2011. That's when it hit a breaking point. The death of Patrice O'Neal was the last straw of funny that was holding the show togeather. Just knowing Patrice would be on at some point in the future made the show funnier.
Ant is a more serious, straight forward personality now that he is on his own. No more character for the radio shit. Opie the same.
Any chance ,you two return to 1550 am here in the SF Bay Area,I'm such a Dinosaur....Play Tommy T"s....
You must've lived in a two block radius near that station. Damn frustrating that the reception was only good at the crest of a hill as you were bending your antenna to a 67-1/2 degree angle on a partly cloudy day. Those days were my first taste of this brilliance too. Nice callback.
Dave LaFaille Wasn't O&A on 910am and 106.9 before it became CBS News? Their show was incredible.
just praying Ant comes back huh... youre show is meh and I think youre panicing... I love ya Op.. but thats how I see it.
+RC Codes lol thank you. I bet he's gonna compare a radio show to a podcast as well.
Jason Bock similar to the way you panicked when you misspelled the word panicking?
that's "your" and "panicking".
They need to get back together, somehow grab Norton and Sam, Voss and Colin start dropping by... it's unannounced but they hire Van Halen to play "We're Back" which is used for the intro to the new show...
Anyone know what Ant said at 17:17?
He said CHOO CHOO GET ON THE TRUMP TRAIN FOR 2020!!!!!!!!
Trump president NOOOOWW!!
Callback bit
Trump will take the least amount of vacation. Hahahahahaha!!!
TRUMP 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's at?
tsssssssssss
and just revive patrice oneal and everything will be 100%
Opie can only get views by bringing on Anthony
FRRRRRRRRRRRRUNKIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look I’m not blaming the lovely Nia, but Nia is the complete reason burr never talked to ant again. Burr and ant were the only duo that could nonstop argue and still be comedy gold
