I think Vos had to be there, just for that first call. He was a weird outlet for Op & Ant, but also the guy to get the situation back in order (which is kinda odd, I know). I don't really like Vos too much either, but he was crucial to that conversation.
Was a different time, Sterns still around but nothing at all what it used to be. People just don't get upset about the shock jock thing anymore, plus it's just getting too inconvenient to listen to these shows now in the age of Podcasting and TH-cam. Thank god the crazy fans recorded just about everything over the years, would all be lost otherwise
Early O&A when you could tell Opie was having fun were fucking great. EVERY episode with Patrice was epic, but Anthony is the funniest non-comedian I've ever heard. That being my opinion I'll stand by it and follow it up with a "Jesus Christ could Anthony destroy with any impression." Podcasts took over and now we have to pick and choose our fun which is just as solid but more difficult.
@@bigkahunaburger7782Howard Stern never had four to five sometimes even six comedians sitting around. Just talking being funny. It was a whole different level with these guys
For sure opies too emotional, he’s a cunt. Ant’s a solid dude but Opie’s just too dumb…it’s unfortunate it could’ve been great. He’s a dumb mother fucker
Akeem Lawanson But, what about the children!? Growing up in a war zone is a horrible way to live! Staying with a good fuck at the detriment of the puppies!?
This has easily been the best half hour of radio in 2 years. It was awkward, weird, odd, awesome, sad, tense, hilarious. It was a nice throwback. Honestly they should do this every few months.
ZOMBOID I don’t think Opie was having a good time at all. Apparently, he had Compound Media on hold for an hour, and this was just to get someone to talk about his show after the “haircut” he had to take. This was good, but I had no delusions of them getting back together, in Opie’s mind he would be bending the knee if he squashed everything. And fuck, Vos HATES him now.
love how opie gets all up in his chair and chilling trying to play it off like hes not madly in love with anthony and loves that he called lol he started smiling so big
@@rickDArula They all have incredibly rough personalities to work with. The blaming Opie for everything is just bandwagon stuff. I guarantee that 80% of the people who obsessively hate on Opie didn’t actually hate him before TH-cam.
@@citypopFM Nailed it. It's just too bad they only did a few of these cross show phoners before it went back to taking shots at one another. For all of the Opster's massive amount of character flaws, gotta say, it doesn't feel like he was the one to blow this up and prevent it from coming true. He loves Anthony and would have been so on board for some type of reunion. But only if he felt like Anthony wanted friendship out of it and not just business partnership. Which is kinda silly at their age to even care how good of friends you are. Not sure what got Ant and Jim going so hard at Opie after this semi reunion happened. But it's pretty much a completely dead idea at this point.
Ant and Jim have both talked at length about Opie being a fucking nightmare to work with at times. The relationship was doomed. That's so fucking random to think Patrice would have somehow kept them together
I’m assuming after this they shit on each other again and stopped talking since I see iPod has lost his damn mind again and Anthony is solo controlling a conservative comedy network
@@719Flowers I don't think so. I think Ant just wants to have closure, in a way, to thank Ope for the opportunities that he will himself admit to. High ground.
This made me so happy. Opie and Anthony are magic together. For all the haters who just want to take sides with one against the other, this is proof that they are at their best together. I hope they pair up again.
I hope they end up together again as well but I don't think they want that right now. they are both growing and in ants case, he's really discovering his success on a new medium. maybe someday but I doubt anytime soon.
robhimself79 You're probably right about that. I'm sure it's too soon to hope that the O&A show makes a comeback. But I certainly hope that they can repair their friendship, and maybe pay occasional visits to each other's shows. As awkward as this call may have been at times, it was still the best thing either one of them has done in their time apart. Cheers!!
Listening to this yesterday and again today makes you realize just how mediocre everything has been out of both camps since the split. There was never a better show than O&A. The chemistry was and still in this quick phone call is incredible. Kinda sucks to know nothing will ever be as good as they were.
怪我ドル Z O M B O I D Yup. They need to get together, have a huge fight and let the emotions simmer down and theyll become agreeable partners having fun, the old gang would have a career again. Even if 50% of it was reminscing over old clips it would still be awesome. The fucking tension between them is poison, even when its ant and jim together at the compound, you can tell its just not nearly as relaxed as when they had a successful show going with opie
Opie, Anthony, and Jim just need to all sit down and ask the question. "Is this what Patrice would have wanted them to end up as?" Being on three different shows and not together anymore?
Like Patrice was their father who cares what he wanted he coulda still been around had he stopped stuffing his face and actually took care of himself who has a stroke at that age
@@toawesome99sw Exactly! Patrice was always the first one to acknowledge his flaws. You don't talk shit behind your dead father for the mistakes he made in his life. Both Opie and Anthony looked up to Patrice as a father figure, and I can guarantee you he would've made them come back to the same team with a single joke.
These 2 are 2 of the greatest to ever grace the radio and the internet airways they're both incredible talents they both bring something to the table like no other when they're together they're unstoppable Blessings to Opie and Anthony thank you for the memories
Lmao Opie was actually cool here & seemed laid back & easy going.. & Not a prick lol, he seemed genuinely happy too in the Video... Good Thing Rich was there with Opie to even out the insults & be a great Buffer .. NOICE
Whoever was able to take two calls with two phones to put these two together again is a god. Do this again and again and again. PLEASE. (You can tell he did exactly that with the sound distortion coming through from Anthony’s podcast. )
I came out of work and tuned this in halfway through the call. It made my day and did a huge bit to cheer me up in the middle of what's been a really rough depressing week for me! Then when it was over, instead of finishing up my 20-minute drive home, I drove around or sat in my car for an extra two and a half hours listening to the replay of Opie's whole show, so i could catch the first half of the call. Now today seeing the video makes it even better. Thanks O&A.
This would work again. The chemistry is undeniable. They only need to do one or two podcasts a week. Coming into the XM studios 5 times a week was too much.
@sdot5389 I meant physically. Ant is getting older, but he is aging normally and he still is pretty quick witted. Opie looks like he has aged 20 years from 2015-2020.
Divorced Mom and dad seeing eachother at Christmas and not fighting offering the kids a little bit of hope but deep down you know the old times are gone.
Dude right? Opie was killing, felt like the old days. I hope they patch things up, id definitely be open to the idea of them doing another show. The opie and anthony brand was such a force...
Opie only had success with Anthony and it pissed him off that he can't carry the brand without Anthony, he will never get back together with Anthony until he realizes he made himself second fiddle on his own show, but if you read this Opie you and Anthony have an opportunity to make millions with the ability to be your own boss taking O N A to pod casting. The brand needs you both to be a great success you both are idle at best solo.
So many people miss that element about him as an on-air personality--the fact he doesn't flinch at or avoid or try to drink/sarcasm away difficult emotion the way Ant does is a crucial part of their dynamic.
Hey, sincere question for you. You’re a long time fan you said, so what are your thoughts on viewer’s criticism of Opie? Every video is filled with “Opie sucks”. I can’t say he was amazing or funny, but as a long time listener myself, I’m finding it harder and harder to continue jumping on the bandwagon and hating opie, despite him being part of the show I loved. Does that make sense? In terms of I’m not saying he was funny, but that I don’t really remember people hating him so much while the show was on, and before Anthony got himself fired. Even if there are very few sound bites of Opie being good on air, we still loved the show right? And now that they’re all apart, they’re no where near the combination of all three. With Ant and Jim still funny, there was obviously another variable that made O&A a hit we still discuss today. Sorry for the long comment
I feel like Ant was still hoping Opie and Jimmy would join him on Compound at this point. Otherwise why wouldn't Ant just lay into Opie? Also you know someone sucks when Rich Vos doesn't let them joke about him (looking at you Mercurio).
I download Anthony Cumia's show from a torrent site. A few weeks ago (clearly before the show above was recorded), he was trashing Opie pretty good. Anthony predicted that since Jim is no longer working with him, Opie will go back to being a terrestrial radio DJ. Anthony chronicled what a nightmare Opie was to work with on a daily basis. He was always pissed off about something. Anthony's theory was that Opie was angry that the listeners would goof on him for not being funny, so he took his anger out on the people he worked with. I agree with Anthony. It had to suck watching Jim and Anthony be hilarious each day and knowing that his only talent was saying "Cleveland, you're on the air"
@@amuroray88 buddy, you don't have all the info. Listen to the wnew shoes from 98-2002. You can see the growth of these two and let me tell you, it was all about Opie and Anthony. There was a former PD who wrote a critique of the XM O and A show and the talking points were Opie and Anthony need to be the focal point of the show, less input from Jim, his role of chiming in with the occasional hilarious line was perfect, and Anthony needed to do more impressions. The critique ended up being completely bang on. Opies vision and their chemistry got them to the top, the addition of the comics was the fine tuning that made the show brilliant. Around 2008 is when Opie started resenting his role on the show, that's 10 years of doing the radio show. Trust me, just listen to the old shows. It's really good radio
Well, I'm no defender of either, they're scumbags equally imo. But was that really a definitive olive branch extended? To me it sounds like a vague, dithering, handwave statement that promises no working improvement or change for the better. It's not saying, "hey let's link up, hash this out man to man in private, and/or get some mediation in to fix this and get back in business."
Great seeing this edited together. Think it shows what separated OnA from other radio shows. Most would steer away from the uncomfortable topics, you two steer in and let whatever happens happen.
Man, I've had a hard time listening to Opie since the split, but this helped me gain a lot of respect for him. Acknowledged that he's put himself in a tough spot and this was great radio. First time in a long time.
Why cant they just forgive and forget. Just for the sake that they are legends. Imagine the opie and anthony podcast 10 years later! That would be wild😂 these guys are like my two favorite radio duos
This is the first comment I’ve seen that actually references the fans having something to do with Opie and Anthony splitting up and staying split. Good man. 5 plus years later I hope you still feel the same.
Seriously though, this is the most relaxed Ive seen Opie in MANY years. I disliked him alot of times, perhaps I dont like him much at all, but I dont hate people too easily either. And it was pretty obvious hes been having some really bad depression problems which I dont wish on anyone. I hope he is humbled, and finds somewhere to do what he likes. When he is relaxed like this he actually aint bad on the radio (even if you can argue he cant be all that great either, whatever). This feels more like when he was on JRE, I actually liked him more for that.
Yeah I can’t Stand Opie most of the time but like u explained I agree whole heartedly .. I too Have times like the beginning of this episode where I feel like he is okay & not bad but then those other times he is a complete sociopath/ Narcissist/ & completely delusional & like u said he could be in a bad way with Mental illness & i would never wish that on anyone ... I hope he is humbled like u said but he doesn’t seem to have learned anything & he doesn’t seem like he has changed at all ... just the same asshole crybaby he has always been who 99 out of 100 times can’t take a joke
2 1/2 years later, it still always devolves into everyone shitting on Vos.
I know! It was great!
More things change, more they stay the same.
...Though seriously, fuck Vos.
I think Vos had to be there, just for that first call. He was a weird outlet for Op & Ant, but also the guy to get the situation back in order (which is kinda odd, I know). I don't really like Vos too much either, but he was crucial to that conversation.

Hey, sincere question for you. You’re a long time fan you said, so what are your thoughts on viewer’s criticism of Opie? Every video is filled with “Opie sucks”. I can’t say he was amazing or funny, but as a long time listener myself, I’m finding it harder and harder to continue jumping on the bandwagon and hating opie, despite him being part of the show I loved.
Does that make sense? In terms of I’m not saying he was funny, but that I don’t really remember people hating him so much while the show was on, and before Anthony got himself fired.
Even if there are very few sound bites of Opie being good on air, we still loved the show right? And now that they’re all apart, they’re no where near the combination of all three. With Ant and Jim still funny, there was obviously another variable that made O&A a hit we still discuss today.
Sorry for the long comment
The chemistry still there
I feel like Ant was still hoping Opie and Jimmy would join him on Compound at this point. Otherwise why wouldn't Ant just lay into Opie? Also you know someone sucks when Rich Vos doesn't let them joke about him (looking at you Mercurio).
I download Anthony Cumia's show from a torrent site. A few weeks ago (clearly before the show above was recorded), he was trashing Opie pretty good. Anthony predicted that since Jim is no longer working with him, Opie will go back to being a terrestrial radio
DJ. Anthony chronicled what a nightmare Opie was to work with on a daily
basis. He was always pissed off about something. Anthony's theory was
that Opie was angry that the listeners would goof on him for not being
funny, so he took his anger out on the people he worked with. I agree
with Anthony. It had to suck watching Jim and Anthony be hilarious each
day and knowing that his only talent was saying "Cleveland, you're on the air"
From a torrent site. Loser.
@@amuroray88 buddy, you don't have all the info. Listen to the wnew shoes from 98-2002. You can see the growth of these two and let me tell you, it was all about Opie and Anthony.
There was a former PD who wrote a critique of the XM O and A show and the talking points were Opie and Anthony need to be the focal point of the show, less input from Jim, his role of chiming in with the occasional hilarious line was perfect, and Anthony needed to do more impressions. The critique ended up being completely bang on. Opies vision and their chemistry got them to the top, the addition of the comics was the fine tuning that made the show brilliant. Around 2008 is when Opie started resenting his role on the show, that's 10 years of doing the radio show. Trust me, just listen to the old shows. It's really good radio
"Its been two years of uh, deconstructing 20 years..." man, if that wasnt an olive branch i dont know what is! Shit brought a tear to my eye
Well, I'm no defender of either, they're scumbags equally imo. But was that really a definitive olive branch extended? To me it sounds like a vague, dithering, handwave statement that promises no working improvement or change for the better. It's not saying, "hey let's link up, hash this out man to man in private, and/or get some mediation in to fix this and get back in business."
Great seeing this edited together. Think it shows what separated OnA from other radio shows. Most would steer away from the uncomfortable topics, you two steer in and let whatever happens happen.
Can anybody else not stop watching this?
My favorite part is both of them grinning like schoolgirls.
Class S
I love this. LOVE THIS!
I have been waiting for this for a long time. Please bring back the best duo in radio history.
Opie’s mannerisms shows he’s uncomfortable and misses his buddy! Great radio duo!
He hates Anthony
Yeah he’s extremely uncomfortable and despises him
Man, I've had a hard time listening to Opie since the split, but this helped me gain a lot of respect for him. Acknowledged that he's put himself in a tough spot and this was great radio. First time in a long time.
when The Opester shows humility, he's actually tolerable...
C’mon Opie…get back together with Anthony and have these moments again.
The real tragedy between these 2 was that they couldnt communicate, which is ironic because their talent was talking and being funny.
Awe, it's like seeing my parents after 10 years except a lot funnier
Watched it on Ant's, heard it on Jimmy's; & now here.. gets better every time!
Never watched the show but I’ve been binging the arguments and this is a nice conclusion to it all seems like a wonderful thing in time
Why cant they just forgive and forget. Just for the sake that they are legends. Imagine the opie and anthony podcast 10 years later! That would be wild😂 these guys are like my two favorite radio duos
thanks jake
Even just getting together to do a week of Jocktobers would be fun, test the waters
@jonleibow3604
Too big of egos, and it's a bit late now.
They're back.....and better than ever. Looks like the pendulum is swinging back the other way.
Ramone...get me a pair of Radio hosts who shoulda talked ages ago.....
DVV Dvv DVVDV DVfDV DVv
sick fuckkhhiin puppies
RIP Steve C, Patrice, Tippy Tom, and whoever else died
Opie brought it back home and Anthony made something great also. YES they are back.
Opie: "which brother?"
Ant: "Bret"
Opie: "oh Bret, from F.H. Riley's"
Me: **SMH** again with the plug
True radio man to the core, everything is a plug or bit no matter how great or forced
This was the Dregs of satellite radio. That is saying something
O&A is finished so time for Gregg & Tony, The G&T Show
Love the boys. I hope this works, don't let the fans ruin it like usual.
This is the first comment I’ve seen that actually references the fans having something to do with Opie and Anthony splitting up and staying split. Good man. 5 plus years later I hope you still feel the same.
Opie destroyed Mecurio.
Thank you Opie. Reunited and it feels so good
dude, this is CLASSIC opie and anthony!!
for fucks sakes, at least they should be regular guests on eachothers shows.
LOVE THIS!!
Opie and Anthony you guys smashed it yet again, fuckin A good times hope to hear more of you guys together in the future
Notice how many likes this video has compared to the other videos
Get back together boys. It's the only way. And it's what we all secretly want
Wow. Was great hearing them and seeing them interact again
Holy shit dude, the fucking boys are back.
...that Opie dude n Anthony guy should do a show together. good chemistry.
Seriously though, this is the most relaxed Ive seen Opie in MANY years. I disliked him alot of times, perhaps I dont like him much at all, but I dont hate people too easily either. And it was pretty obvious hes been having some really bad depression problems which I dont wish on anyone. I hope he is humbled, and finds somewhere to do what he likes. When he is relaxed like this he actually aint bad on the radio (even if you can argue he cant be all that great either, whatever).
This feels more like when he was on JRE, I actually liked him more for that.
Yeah I can’t Stand Opie most of the time but like u explained I agree whole heartedly .. I too Have times like the beginning of this episode where I feel like he is okay & not bad but then those other times he is a complete sociopath/ Narcissist/ & completely delusional & like u said he could be in a bad way with Mental illness & i would never wish that on anyone ... I hope he is humbled like u said but he doesn’t seem to have learned anything & he doesn’t seem like he has changed at all ... just the same asshole crybaby he has always been who 99 out of 100 times can’t take a joke
“Oh, Brett from FH Riley’s...” 4:32, like he might confuse him with his other brother Brett
Vos is so underrated.
ANT: just trying to scare you off.
VOS: just come at me with your hair.
I love it
