A co-worker of mine kept telling me how I had to listen to them.. I didn't want to because I assumed they were like stupid Stern. I never found him funny nor entertaining. Then one day I tuned in, at her insistence, and heard the K-Dog audition tape. I never laughed so fucking hard at something I've heard on the radio in my life! That was the day I caught the virus...

How/when did you guys become fans?

I think it was originally when I used to just listen to 102.7 for the music. Then all of the sudden this show came on and I was like.......what the hell is "opium anthony"???? I listened for a little while, and like heroine.....I was addicted.

Not much else to do in NAshua. Had to work for a bit in Derry. I requested a transfer or a razor blade and a bath tub. Thankfully they agreed to the former.:bomb:

yeah, well try living 80 miles to the northwest, where youd have to commute to nashua to do nothing.

nh is largely filled with dead old mill towns and crappy chinese restaurants.

In 2001 K-rock came to Cleveland. They didn't have any DJ's yet. They used to play tracks all day long. Then one magical day the O and A show appeared. I heard 55g and Blind boxing live. It was those first bits that made me an uber fan "O and A nut job".

I was (still am) a big messageboarder on wrestling websites at a young age. I was on Sickboy's forum, and he had a seperate O&A section. He told everyone to tune in all the time. So back in 99/00, I only listened Tuesdays and Fridays when they would talk about Raw and Smackdown. Then the board started plugging when wrestlers were on. And then I just began to like the show a lot and started listening full time after school.

My first event was Celeb Softball 02, where my dad's co-worker took my dad and I to see it. My second was on my 14th birthday, where my mom took me to see Norton at Town Hall in NYC. Blah blah blah here I am today.

i listened to stern on 97.1 in detroit until he went to sirius, i was a fan but not enough to follow him, the next show to come along was rover, and god did that shit blow, finally o & a came on board and i was hooked

i grabbed the whole show from audible and probably would have stuck with that until the boys got suspended, it was then i discovered ron and fez (xm substituted them for the month on the audible downloads), i was hooked and grabbed an skyfi3 as soon as i could

my ex boyfriend was so happy when he heard they were coming back on XM. I didn't care too much for them when they were on terrestrial radio, but knew of them. so for about a month or two, he'd make me listen and I would just be like "this shit fuckin sucks." then they did that bit with the Lacey Peterson song. I was hooked. I started downloading shows and old bits. i started to get involved in message boards, and then paltalk. my ex hated that. O&A led to our demise. :lol:

that's all.

I was a Stern fan from waaay back, and I always listened to WBCN in Boston because he was on in the morning. I started hearing Nick Carter joking about the boys in the afternoon, and then I saw them introduce STP at the 2000 WBCN River Rave (where Carter pretend-punched Opie).
A little while later, I was listening to the radio and they came on instead of the normal afternoon show...

After about a month of listening to Stern in the morning and O&A in the afternoon, I came to the conclusion that hoo hoo was tired and over, and the boys were better.

In other words - I am living proof that they aren't "Howard Clones"....they're different, and they're better.

It was a beautiful afternoon in the late spring of 1999. I was working as a Paramedic in Nassau County and I had a really twisted partner. He let me listen to what ever music I wanted to until 3pm. At 3 he said he had a talk show that I really needed to hear. I gave him all sorts of crap about how boring talk radio was and how I just wanted to listen to Pearl Jam and avoid work. Well he won the arguement and put the radio on 102.7. That show was the day that they had the stripper in the studio that could shoot eggs out of her twat. After that they did the Wiffle Bat Challenge with her and Ant did some Mike Tyson impressions. I was hooked.

Ive only been to 2 events so far, the FH Event during the suspension and the Mohegian Sun Virus tour this year. I plan on starting to hang out more. The O&A pests seem like a really good bunch that always has fun.

I used to listen to Opie, when he was on The Fox in Buffalo. Then after he left, had no clue what happened to him. Fast forward years later, I would listen to Howard every morning, then shut him off and listen to music. One day, I left the radio playing and Opie and Anthony's show came on. It took me a week to figure out it was the same Opie, but right away the show had me hooked. so thank you Howard for getting me to love OnA and hating you,

April 1998, I remember changing the channel from q104.3 and hearing Ant doing a read for a commercial on WNEW and laughing at the ad, stayed around and listened to their "witty banter" in between rock songs, have been hooked ever since. Ron and Fez fan since January 2000.

Ok, this is going to be boring, but I used to listen to Don & Mike and when they went to NY, and got fucked over by the boys, I was intrigued. I started listening to the boys on October 4, 2004, their first day on XM ($2 a month for the premium channel) and now listen on Audible replays every day.

11-17-2007, 08:08 PM
I bought my XM unit at the end of 2004. I knew of the premium channels, but didn't really have any name recognition of the show.(I remembered seeing a WOW sticker probably in 2001, but really didn't know what it was. I think I had stumbled across their website at some point later, but I don't know if they streamed the show.) After they flipped them over to the regular platform, I started checking out the other channels sometime during the summer of 2005. For the entertainment value, I gladly would have paid the premium if someone had turned me on to them sooner.

11-17-2007, 08:34 PM
I was a huge Ron & Ron fan here in Florida when they syndicated into Orlando. I listened to the end and beyond by tuning into Tampa, their home station. I lost them for a few years....OK alot of years, until last Christmas when I bought my GF an XM. She wanted it for the Bluegrass station. I saw they had Ron and Fez and tuned in one afternoon.

She HATED it ;) I didn't. I bought my own radios just after new years and became an O&A fan along with R&F.

Back in 2004, right after O and A went from premium to basic, Q101's (Chicago) playlist gradually dropped to about 2 or 3 songs a day. I was pissed and slowly lost patience. My dad bought an XM unit on a whim. He loved it. I messed around with it and went out and bought one immediately. It took me about a month before I got brave enough to search through all the channels and wasn't expecting much when I got to 202, since the Channel Listing I got with my Roady said that it was a pay channel. Imagine my surprise when I actually heard voices talking. The first bit I ever heard was Bombs and Flubs Volume 1. Then the first installment of the Fart Game played. I have been hooked ever since.

I was working night shift and while out Protecting and serving, I couldn't find anything on the radio, so I decided that it was time for XM. I was checking out all that XM had when I got it and I decided to check and see what was on 202. It was near Christmas in 2004 and the boys were on vacation and they were playing the Tony Danza bits. Been hooked ever since.

11-17-2007, 09:23 PM
Like some others, I'd heard of them because of the Sex 4 Sam bit and I figured they were Stern wannabes. So when they came to XM on their premium channel, I didn't immediately sign up. Then a few months after they started on XM, XM opened up the channel for a free week. So I thought I'd check out what they were about, convinced my assumptions would be confirmed. This was the week that Jimmy's mom's voiced mail was first played. I never laughed at a radio show so hard and by Wednesday, I called XM and had 202 added to my account. Although I don't always agree with them on some issues and I have to turn the channel for a few minutes at times, I've been listening ever since.

I don't really remember the beginning. I know I just started listening to the show here and there on NEW. One day that had a 55 gallon drum challenge. WTF is that? Then I heard some chick scream as she had blood and crickets dropped on her and I listened every day after that...until work interfered. A few years later, someone had Sirius and I was contemplating getting sat radio. I was doing research, saw O&A were on XM and so begins the cycle again.

I don't know exactly when I started listening to the boys, but it was when they were on 102.7. I know I had the routine of listening to Howie on KROCK in the AM, then I would switch over to the Radio Chick and O&A would follow. If I had to guess, I'd say I started sometime in 2001, because I don't think I listened to them for more than a year before they got in trouble. I do know that 102.7 was already an all-talk format when I started listening to them.

Not being a true "pest" on message boards and such (although I listen to every minute of every show one way or the other), by the time I found out they were on XM, 202 was already part of the basic package. I think I got XM during the August after they came on (so about 10 months in), because the following October/Halloween was one year of more gooder radio.

My friend was in school at Fordham in 99. He kept telling me about them. One day in 01 I was going through the stations here and stumbled across the "Uses of Fuck" spot that they used to play. It wound up being their first day of syndication to Philly. From that day forward, I was hooked.

Listened daily up till S4S. Listened to downloaded bits/shows until they started up on XM. Paid my $2.99 and it was worth it.

I went through the same cycle as Jack Jack Kumia on 97.1 Stern then Rover and finally O&A. I became hooked almost immediately in February when Ant was doing dice gay rants for hours. They have ruined every other radio show for me, mainly because the atmosphere is just like buddy's hanging out. After they left Deminski and Doyle took over mornings. Deminski's fake hack laugh makes me want to punch him in the throat.

The first day ((XM)) started broadcasting on Directv I checked out all the channels, until I came across High Voltage. I had never heard of the boys until then but it took all of 12 seconds before I realized it was the talk radio I had always wanted. I have been a loyal fan since: Nov 15 2005.

11-18-2007, 02:48 PM
Being in Arizona, I had never even heard the names Opie and Anthony before they went to XM.

My work had XM Radio and I started listening to the music in Early 2004. I wanted an XM for my car, so I went out and bought it. Then I head Opie and Anthony on XM Comedy 150, and didn't think much of them. I didn't want to pay the $3 for something I didn't think I would listen to, but then they did the FreePlay week in early December 2004 and after just two hours listening to them, I called XM and subscribed to High Voltage. I have been a listener ever since.

I've been a fan of talk radio for as long as I can remember. My mom & I loved listening to Chicago's Robert Murphy in the morning when I was in high school and used to talk about the show all the time. I even gave Mandouche a shot when he first came into our market, but I never liked his fake, self-important, soapbox attitude and saw right through him immediately.

I was a faithful Howard listener for about 5 years when I moved to the Chicago area in the late 90s. I never really cared for the strippers or his constant "who did you do this week" questions, but loved to hear the banter between members of the show. I listened to OnA for a couple weeks during the short time they were on WCKG before they went & got themselves fired for SFS3. I was shocked when it happened because I was just starting to get a feel for them & bummed that I wasn't able to give them a chance. God knows they were better than boring, whiny Steve Dahl. I had to finally stop listening to him on my drive home because I was sick of hearing him & his wife fight every day. Ugh.

When I moved back to WI, WCKG barely came in, so I stopped listening. I almost bought a Sirius unit last January, but wasn't commuting more than 5 minutes, so I didn't see the point in spending the extra money. Once I got a job in Milwaukee, I considered buying one, but my friend ("that asshole") started sending me OnA bits and convinced me to sign onto this new chat program that he was really enjoying. I was actually on Paltalk with my stupid Stern reference name for about a month before I got hooked on the boys.

In the meantime, the best Milwaukee morning radio show I could find (Jane and Kidd in the morning) was so awful that I wanted to stick knitting needles in my ears. I remember during my very first commute with OnA that I sighed with relief & thought, "Thank GOD! I forgot how much I loved listening to a good morning show!" To say that they were the perfect fit for me would be an understatement. I think I've only missed about a month worth of shows since just before they signed with CBS.

"It's Raining Stuff" was the bit that turned me from the dark side. I played it over and over until my sides hurt from laughing so hard. Fucking Patrice. He reminds me of one of my best friends in high school. Same look, same laugh & everything. But the Danza bit sealed it. Anthony is my hero!

I can't begin to tell you how much the boys mean to me. Soon after introducing them to me last April, "that asshole" and I got into an argument over a misunderstanding which ended our friendship. Around the same time, my aunt died from lung cancer and I got laid off from my new job for a couple months. It was an extremely hard period for me, and the boys were the one thing that kept me sane. To this day, whenever I get down or stressed out, I just tune in and it makes everything all better.

Being on the show in June was absolutely one of the best days I've had in a long time. I had no intention of ever getting on air (I'm a little shy when it comes to that, which is why I don't go on mic much on Paltalk), but I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. It was so surreal to be standing in the studio that has given me such good radio for the past decade, and I soaked it in while Jimmy went on his "moose milkey" rant. Plus, OnA were absolutely amazing and it meant so much that they were having fun with me and wanted to keep me on the air. It's crazy - I've never been one to want to have much to do with celebrities, but I just can't get enough of them. This truly is a lifestyle for me, and I love this community I'm a part of.

I've had so many great memories (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jajajulie/sets/) with OnA and you all. My first walkover (the day al-Zarqawi was killed & they were stopping Arab cab drivers to ask what they thought), sorta Jimmy Day (being in one of the first groups ever invited up to XM (http://www.foundrymusic.com/pestnetwork/displayphoto.cfm/id/5394) and being such a n00b to the show that I didn't even know who Elmo was until we were walking 60 blocks from D&B to Tower Records together), my first Virus show and meeting one of my closest friends ("Shitting Midget" Jeff) in Cleveland, the St. Patrick's Day party at FH Riley's (hanging out with Steve from Bayshore and meeting yet more of you), going up to XM with my dad the Monday after and talking with Opie briefly afterwards (holy crap was I nervous!!), Jones Beach (my first OnA tailgate and having a great time at Jamie's afterwards), Jimmy's book signing in Detroit (meeting "Rapekit-and-Crawlspace" Dan and seeing a dead guy, BITCH!), the Detroit Virus show (thanks to the boys for the 3rd row seats!) and tailgating with some amazing Midwest pests, PNC ("Have you seen a black man in a kilt?", meeting my Lucci Lu Lu, having a great time at JMF's afterwards, and Vicky's amazing friendship & hospitality), and now being a part of this great new board. You are all the greatest!! <3 <3

OK, this post revealed way more than I had intended. I think it's the longest one I've ever written too! Ha. I'll stop now before I get too carried away.

So i did, they annoyed me, i changed the station to WYSP and couldnt turn it off.

I have shitty Preston and Steve to thank for being a O&A fan.

I bought an XM in 2003 and smuggled it illegally across the border (actually, I stop at the border and paid my taxes on it). O&A were a premium channel, but I had XM online (I would sign up every three days with a different email [actually, I got tired of this and started to pay the extra six buck a month for this shortly after]). One day I was bored and I checked out that "premium" station. They were doing a bit where they were making fun of sixties sex ed videos. I laughed. I thought I would try them out for a just a month in the car so I paid the extra two bucks a month. I think within about a week of listening to them I knew I wasn't going to be able to give them up!

A friend of mine told me about Ron and Fez on WNEW and I started listening to them first. Then I caught the Ronald Reagan Star Wars defense system bit and was laughing so hard I had to pull over. Been listening ever since. Moved from NJ to Tampa right after Sex for Sam and bought XM as soon as I heard O&A were gonna be on. :okterrific::yankees:

I live in South Louisiana and never heard of Opie and Anthony until the XM Radio Freeplay thing. I listened for that week, kinda liked it. When it went off I fuckin' freaked, called XM ASAP and payed the extra amount to hear them on the premium channel. I've been hooked ever since. O & A = Crystal Meth.

GOD BLESS O&A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sucks to say this but the 911 show turned me into a fan. I didn't like the boys at first, I was typical Philly asshole and wanted music. But after listening to the Stern and news all day they had a live show. The fact that they came on live somehow changed my feelings for the boys. I don't know, I've had their back ever since.

I started listening to the boys on WAAF up in Boston when I was in college in Worcester in the mid 90s. When I moved to NJ they were near the beginning of the WNEW gig in 1999. Bought the XM for baseball and they happened to be on there too. Kind of weird, but I guess I was in all the right places at the right times!!

In highschool my best friend turned me on to them. Though I haven't really been active in O&A communities, I have listened to them obsessively since. I usually download the shows though so I don't miss any at all, and it kind of sucks cause I am always a day behind. I have listened since 98 or 99 though.

How did you become a fan of the boys?

I first heard them when they started in XM. I was living in Atlanta at the time. It was a 2 week free trial, and they wanted an extra 2 bucks per month to get the channel, and all they ran was the same 4 hour program 6 times a day I guess. I said fuck that. Then I hears a commercial on xm150 and I go over there, it's on for FREE. I don't think my dial's been changed off 202 since then.

Found the show one day on an AM channel in the SF Bay area. It was the show where they were stapling paper to their legs. I had my boys in the car and we loved the show. I started listening every chance I got. But...then we went on vacation to Magic Mountain and I heard the news on TV that they were off the air for the Sex for SAM incident...
Then...when I found them on XM even when I had to pay extra I got my xm unit and I have been taping every show since. (my son is a computer whiz and he has it all set up for me) I have shows on my IPOD and I listen while I work. I work in a 2 person office..just me and my boss so I listen all day. I don't have anyone else in my life who listens...they just don't get it.. It sucks to not have anyone to talk to about it...as you can tell from my long ass post..That is my story..yawn...I know...WAKE UP!!

The first show I heard was the day Opie stepped on his glasses after lasix surgery. The day I got hooked was during the CBS FM bit.
I could never figure out why callers would call and say syndication underground. When the boys were off the air I didn't know about OAVIRUS, and all the other sites.

Now days it stays on 202 only to check espn and fox sports after i hear the shows and i've got all my friends and alot of coworkers to get xm and they are hooked too.

I had heard them a few times on 92.3 X-treme radio in Cleveland when I was in HS (I think it was 92.3 X-treme back then...it's K-ROCK now). The two or three times I heard them while driving, I thought they were great but I wasn't in my car that much when they were on and didn't have time to listen to the radio much. The two shows I remember though were I heard when they were discussing Anthony's divorce and Opie was reading the news clip and kept playing the "Two girls for every guy" clip. I laughed so hard. Then I heard part of their last broadcast, they were so upset and skirting some issue, I didn't know what had happened cause I rarely listened and they said they had to go to a meeting during a break and they would be back. I tried to listen a lot that day but still didn't hear much and didn't know what had happened. Fast forward about 3 years and my friend has XM. He was a fan and we were listening and I recognized the name from the few times I listened before and I forget what they were talking about but I loved it. My Dad had XM at the time, so I used his account to set up an online thing so I could listen. That was in September/October of '05 and I have listened to every show since then. In December of that year I got XM too. I have been hooked since. Then Ron and Fez came to XM and I have really enjoyed their show. I do not have time to listen to them as much, but every time I get to listen they are great and I love when they do the AFRO shows. The 4 of them together are great.

A co-worker of mine kept telling me how I had to listen to them.. I didn't want to because I assumed they were like stupid Stern. I never found him funny nor entertaining.

My story is very much the same. A co-worker was a big who-who fan and "talk radio" fan for a long time. He and I were in the same cubical work space and I would kinda catch some things that O&A would say as he was laughing out loud. So during the afternoons I would take off my headphones and listen to the O&A show together with him and we would both sit there laughing our asses off. I thank him for getting me hooked (like a damned drug dealer).

I got XM couple years ago when I started working in Manhattan (and after getting bootlegs of the first few months of shows on XM, including the dreaded first week of classic fuck ups with the new studio). I listen everyday and have to explain to my co-workers why I am always laughing. Of course I can only tell most of them the PG stuff that happens.

I use to pick 'em up on Friday afternoons, on my ride up to North Jersey. That was in the WNEW days, before syndication. Then when they were put on WYSP in Phila, I've been listening ever since, and I've been an XM subscriber since the pay for the premium show days.

11-20-2007, 11:52 PM
I was kinda pissed at them at first. I got a letter from XM saying rates were going up but now I would be able to get Opie & Anthony for "free". My thought was "how the fuck is that free when you're charging me $3 more a month for a $2 show?"

I didn't even bother with them for a few days just out of spite. All I'd heard about them was that they were like Howard Stern and they got fired for the church thing. I liked Howard on TV and I even liked his book, but I didn't imagine I could sit through his show for any length of time.

Anyway, one night, I'm going out to pick up a pizza and flipping through the channels. There's a Worst-Of and they have Tony Danza as a guest. I'm thinking, Christ...at least Howard gets good guests. But I stuck with it, and we all know how that turned out.

The first full week I heard them ended with Jimmy & Opie going ballistic on each other, so of course I had to tune in Monday to hear what happened. But Jimmy was off to do his HBO special, so of course I had to listen until he came back to hear how that all turned out. A few days after that, Rosie O'Donnell had her retard movie on, and Jim's "gum and pennies" line had me in tears. That day, I started timing trips so I'd be back in the car 4 hours after the last time so I wouldn't miss anything.

Haven't missed a show since...

I started in Cleveland in 2001, on K-Rock, like WoWBumperSticker. There was all this great music, and then all of a sudden at 3PM, these guys just started talking, and talking, and talking about nothing. And it was funny. A few weeks later, when Mike Tyson did the "I'm gunna fuck you until you love me" press conference, and Anthony spent two hours in Tyson mode, I was hooked and I listened at least 4 days a week, shutting the radio off around 6 to 6:10.

Damn that fuckin' queef.

I think I just identify with them more than I did with BooHoo-HooHoo. While his show was good, O&A was just better. I could give a shit about how small Hoo-hoo's penis is, for the sixteen hundredth time today. I didn't give a damn about how many people celebrities banged. I wanted to hear the celebrities be real, and they usually were on O&A.

I got hooked hearing a worst of, I was in the process of moving from Texas, to Conneticut in 1999. I left Texas on Xmas day and 2 days later I was in radio range of NY. I flipped through the channels and stumbled upon the boys, needless to say I laughed my ass off for the next 5 hours. Iwrote down 102.7 a napkin and have listened ever since.

I have been a fan since 2005 and started listening on XM. I didn't like their show at first, but since I believe in giving everything a chance, I lingered longer. Once I became familiar with Opie, Anthony, Jimmy Norton and the other guest comedians, I started to really get into O&A. Now they're the only thing I will listen to.

I used to listen to mancow here in chicago because most mornings I don't feel like listening to music. He was a complete douche and half the show was quick cuts and replays of previous shows. When he was dumped, I started looking for something else and found O and A on WCKG. I was immediately attracted to the easy-going atmosphere of really funny friends just sitting around saying funny shit, often shit that people "shouldn't" say, just like when I hang around with my friends. I stuck with the station throughout the day and found that I loved Steve Dahl as well, and he always had nice things to say about the boys. It's a shame they never really caught on here. When CKG went under and Dahl moved to mornings on Jack FM, I immediately got xm and I catch them on the replays during Dahl's old timeslot, so I still get my favorite shows. I'm thankful to have xm in this day and age or i'd really be losing out

Used to listen to Stern while working in the morning, he didnt make me laugh but there was nothing else to listen to. Music stations afterwards

Jan/2000 - ran into 102.7 after stern and heard the Radio Chick. Once the two songs O&A used to play at 2pm i thought music was coming back on so I turned the channel.

June/2000 - Kept 102.7 on after Radio Chick while working overtime ..at 2pm was too busy to turn the channel, and after the two songs, heard the replay of Corrine the naked teen with Don West. I listened to every minute of every show ever since. My first day on the air was Nov.15th 2000.

So i went home that day and tuned into wnew at 3 pm. I dont remember what the show was about but it was obviously funny cause i havent stopped listening since...and the ironic part is that my best friend and his brother dont listen anymore...how about them apples

I used to ride on occation with a friend of mine on an inter-office mail route in the early to mid 90s and we would listen to Opie and the night time attitude Abo boo boo!! a few years later a friend of mine who was going to collage in Boston told me all about how Opie was now on in Boston and he had a side-kick now and the show was great, I kind gave him the "ok thats cool I'm gonna get a beer" response (I had no plans to go to boston so it was a who cares fun fact to me) then in 98' I found out they were on in NY and remembered that my friend was raving about the show so I tuned in.

I actually remember one of the first shows I heard involved them making fun of Imus and giving props to Howard. So it's kinda funny how things have changed.

Bought XM in '03 (I think) and realized that the music channels sucked. My friend had found 202 and recognized O&A from Stephen Lynch songs we had downloaded a while before. He told me to start listening to the channel. Didn't strike me as that funny at first, but I couldn't stop listening to them for some reason. Now I'm totally addicted. Probably only missed about 10 hours of show in the past 3 years.

I listened to The Night Time Attitude on WBAB when Opie broke up the band and stole Anthony from Rot Gut, and moved to Boston.

I was a big Hoo Hoo fan, order his pay-per view shit, taped his WOR show, stood in line to get his book signed for hours, like the sheep I was.

My boss at the time told me that Opie was coming back to New York on WNEW, so I check it out.

Hoo Hoo in the morning and the Boys in the afternoon my life was good.

Then Hoo Hoo started to fuck with the boys, I saw the light of how much of an ass hole he was.

I couldn’t listen to hoo hoo anymore. He was fake, disparate and paranoid.

WNEW was a great run, it turn me on to Ron and Fez.com, Love Lines w/Adam Corolla, New York Radio Boards and then the fight with Don and Mike. All radio gold.

Then the day radio die. Sex for Sam III

2 years I looked for anything to listen to. I tried going back to Hoo Hoo, I lasted for about 20 min, he sucks
Then news talk, I felt so old.

The light in my life was back XM.I use 3 different cars everyday I couldn’t get 3 XMs

So I searched the web for XM shows. I stared burning cds of shows I found, it was a pain in the ass burning 4/5 cds per show. I have every XM show on cd (and now Rod & Fez too)
My mommy bought me an Ipod and my life changed again. I don’t leave home without it.
I load it everyday with commercial free Opie and Anthony and Ron & Fez.

I cringed when someone told me they were a fan of Opie and Anthony. I started listening to Stern in the 8th grade on the school bus, and the name of the O&A show gave me the douche chills the first time I heard it when I was in college at Boston University.

Then, I started hearing their afternoon show on BCN in Boston. I think they were at NEW already. The first bit that got me was when I couldn't turn off "What the Hell is That?"

Then I moved back to Cleveland after college and they were syndicated there. I was listening live when they did the St. Pats broadcast. I am part of the underground Cleveland contingent of O&A fans and I have listened to EVERY single SECOND of EVERY single XM show since they have been back. I am an iPod listener and listen on my XM replays while I am driving around on the weekends.

I actually became a fan of Jimmy's because of Tough Crowd. After doing some research I found that he was on O & A. After the first show I was hooked forever.

That smack down of the 9/11 douches rocked!! They either must not listen to the show or just had a political discussion death wish. They probably didn't change their opinion and are still idiots that think they're hip with their shock-value opinions.

It was two years ago. I was, and still am, working a job where listening to your iPod or whatever is allowed, and I was working a lot of overtime at the time as we were understaffed. I had to work Christmas Eve, 2005, and my friend said "Come and next to me and tune your FM radio to 89.5" not knowing why. He had one of those transmitters in his XM radio that sent the signal like five feet in any direction, or something. It was a "Worst Of" of Opie & Anthony, and it was the most unexpected, funniest god damned show I'd ever heard in my life. They played Anthony's "Lucky Strikes" bit, with the Flintstones doing cigarette ads. They played a bit where some truck driver called up chastising them, telling them they should be ashamed of themselves, and that he would pray for them, to which Jim replied "Why don't you do something else while you're on your hands and knees at the rest area?" This obviously wasn't a morning zoo crew.

So, a couple of weeks went by, and pretty soon whenever I saw this friend at work, I'd follow him around saying "you listening to Opie & Anthony?" He'd let me sit next to him and dial in my FM radio for about two months, listening to bits like the boys and Patrice critiquing Gangsta Fag, and analyzing the Top 10 country songs, and Anthony doing his Andrew Dice Gay bit, and I was totally hooked. I finally stopped following my friend around and bought my own XM right about the time that Pioneer put out the Inno in the spring of '06.

That's it. And for almost two years now I rarely miss a show, so I'm still hooked on these guys.

I got my xm for my truck 3 years ago and heard a commercial on 171 for O & A. Switched over to 202 for a listen when they were taking auditions for the golden ticket and have been listening religiously since! O & A Party Rock!!

My brother and his wife had XM and she was a fan since about 2001 or 2002 when they were on WYSP in Philly the first time.

So I knew about O&A, and finally listened for a while to them on XM during a vacation with my brother and his wife in 2005. It was a worst-of week and the bit that got me rolling was Ant's oldie time 50's voice for Lucky Strikes and explaining a period to a young girl.

I got XM a few weeks after that, and became a big fan quickly. It took a while to get used to them, but I've grown to really love Ron and Fez too.

1995 on WAAF. Took me a while to get into them since they were playing music and I don't care for Rock and Roll.

Stern in the Morning and O&A in the afternoon was amazing in the late 90's

My story of how I stumbled in is the worst.....

I'm from Lafayette, LA "Reppin that Rock 93.7". For YEARS, the only comedy show we had on radio was Don and Mike - Don't judge me. I was a huge D&M listener during the radio wars with O&A. I used to think they were jerk offs cuz they got Don and Mike in trouble.

Don and Mike started making fun of the boys for SFS3. Then I did some research on O&A because nobody on radio was allowed to talk about the incident. Research turned into me finding O&A bits online. First I listened to their fight with D&M, then an interview with Frank Caliendo, then all the Stephen Lynch songs, then SFS3.....then I realized Don and Mike sucked, I was wrong, and I've been Audible.com'in (is that a word) the boys everyday since Paul R. Nelson....

Long story short in Lafayette - D&M got booted from AM Radio.....O&A moved to mornings on FM Classic Rock......
