Since I grew up in the Boston area, I was exposed to these guys for a pretty long time before they actually got national syndication. Their story sort of follows the arc of monopolization of the radio industry, and its subsequent demise.

One of them was the son of the owner of a local rock/alternative radio station (WAAF). That got them the job and allowed them to hold onto it for quite a long run despite criticism from local soccer moms. They never really did anything that offensive back then, at least as far as I could tell. Said soccer moms were annoyed by their WOW (whip'em out wednesday) campaign mainly because it involved boobs, and made up extraordinary circumstances under which it was a "danger to society" (think: "what if a truck driver gets flashed on the highway and runs over 500 people and a box of puppies!").

Anyhow...eventually they did an april fool's joke claiming the death of Mayor Menino and that was the end of them for a bit. Even daddy couldn't save them from the aftermath of that FCC violation.

Flash-forward to their syndication after finding a new home on some new york station....they ended up having a show on WAAF's mortal foe, WBCN (which they used to criticize harshly over the lifetime of their WAAF show). I think now they have a show on some satellite network. They're generally boring and uninspired, less interesting than the likes of Howard Stern. I'm not sure I understand the more rabid fans of any radio personality, and assume that they'll attempt to stay relevant as long as the format still exists, doing whatever corporate or ideological schilling that takes.

YUCK

Howard Stern knock offs.

There show is lame and is not funny. All they do is bitch about this and that and never stop. Not to risky for being on xm, Bubba The Love Sponge is funny and more risky on the doggie station!

I love this sentence: "kinda lame... not bad if there's nothing else to listen to.." Huh? Shows have fixed schedules. Either there is something else on during that time slot or there isn't. Unless of course you're talking about a music station. In which case i'm sorry, but uh... there's never anything to listen to. In my humble opinion mainstream music/radio is kind of "lame, unless there's nothing else to listen to."

They are funny and/or entertaining more often than not, but I'm certainly not a diehard fan like some people. They currently air around my lunch at work, so I'll occassionally listen when I'm in my car.

A few funny moments here and there- but irritating voices drag them down and they aren't nearly as clever as they think they are. . .

Frunkus frunkus giggle giggle

Kinda lame... not bad if you have nothign else to listen to I guess. The fanatics for them make broad statements about them being so different than Howard Sterns "fart jokes", but I listened to O & A quite a bit before they got fired and recall that they had mor ethan their fair share of "cutting edge" jokes like putting somebody in a garbage can and pouring disgusting liquids in on them, or firing bottle rockets out of their ass down the hall. Not so different than Stern as you might believe, definately not as funny. Worth a listen though if you are stuck in a car without Satelite Radio in the AM though.

O&A are funny.

This stuffs the shhh

This show makes me laugh about things you shouldn't laugh at. They are real. they call out all the bull crap that people like Howard, Mancow, Tyra, and Rosie throw out. They are funny day after day.  Being a guy in Radio myself I really like the fact that they don't take crap from anyone being a radio big wig or some other show. And yes as the last guy said a 0.0 rating is not possible. Learn before you post anoose.

There is no such thing as a 0.0 to the moron who posted before me, maybe if people like you stopped sucking on howie **** and actually did a little research you would realize your king of all frauds is a lying jealous loser. He is mad because Opie and Anthony were the pioneers of satellite radio and now the pioneers of the satellite/terrestial market. HOOO HOOO HAAA HAAA, tell em Fred! Opie and Anthony rock, they are original, funny, and creative. Meanwhile Howie is fading into never never land where no one can here his same old boring crap tha has been original in 15 years, same stuff daily, HOO HOO HAA HAA! Crinkle Crinkle

Opie and Anthony blow. I've tried listening to them several time, and it's totally unlistenable. I just get this feeling when ever they talk that they feel like their something great, and they just aren't. I can't wait till their off the radio. They aren't funny and the show is boring.

LAME LOSERS LOW RATINGS 0.0! how could that happen? (they don't even listen to their own show!) This site needs negitive stars to rate these turds. Try 2.71 out of 100 stars that's more like it. I'm sure they feel sorry for Imus because now they have to water down their testicle radio snooze fest even more than it is. They'll be joining that dottering old fart soon enough in forced retirement.

Funny at one time now they just suck

I started listening to their show at age 15 when their were on WNEW and I laughed right on the spot and have been laughing ever since. Plus these guys have taken a different direction as far as the new CBS Radio show and it is still funny. Plus if you still like the shock value, their XM show is great too. That's what makes these guys as successful as they are. With or without the shock, the boys are still entertaining. It's way overdue, but welcome back O & A!

These guys (Opie, Ant, Jim + friends) connect with their listeners. By 1997 I was over Howard - it wasn't radio, just grossout gags, hookers, and powertrips. O+A do not need all that crap - they are just FUNNY. They are also intelligent, clever, and very self aware. They know when something sucks and admit it, they also relate to the everyday person... until the day the "Opiecopter" shows up! ;)

O&A Party Rock!

eh

The greatest hands down....hoohoo robin

O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A O&A PARTY ROCK, MONSTER RAIN, FREDERICA BIMMELL, RAMONEEEEEEEE

Hoo Hoo Howard is a bum and is being sued for what he does best, lying and cheating Hoo Hoo

O and A is the reason I subscribe to XM. I'm able to listen to the boys in locations as far as Costa Rica. My buddy's Serius unit lost reception somewhere near Mexico. O and A make my day a lil happier.

They pick a subject and kill it. I really wanted like them but they are boring, very boring. I am not an avid stern fan but he is funnier. Patrice is annoying. The fact of the matter is that Bubba the Love Sponge buries these guys and trumps stern too.

No subject is taboo. They are rude and offensive. They seem to have no morals whatsoever. I sometimes actually feel guilty for laughing at some of their "shenanigans". The Opie and Anthony Show is the best thing that's happened to XM Satellite radio. Spread the Virus.....High Voltage 202. O&A Party Rock!!!!

THE REAL PIONEERS OF SATELLITE RADIO!!!!! Howie only wishes he was as up to par as them. His radio show is just dated and everyone is tired of it. Oh look another sex joke ha ha. O&A have talent and they keep it real. If a bit is bombing they admit it. It is four hours of quality radio, plus XM is just a better company than the little doggy company. Give them three days and you will be hooked. You can even listen to O&A for a three day trial online. You can't do that with Howie. http://xmro.xmradio.com/xstream/index.jsp Howie, please stop getting people to give O&A a low rating on this site. Hoo, Hoo I invented 5 star ratings tell em Fred.

I'd give one star if I could. Hate radio for angry 12-17 year old latch-key kids and future serial killers.

they invented radio

these guys are funnier than kneecap cancer. rumor has it, dude, dude, tom brady did a line of coke, dude, ah, excpet it wasn't coke, mwah, dude, ah, it was powdered cancer.

It's time for America to come out of the utter state of denial. This is how guys talk to one another. We break balls, we make fun, we laugh. At the end of the day we are all just normal working Joes seeking a little comic relief from the life that did not turn out quite the way we planned.People who claim to find O & A offensive or over the line need to get their head out of the sand. My wife enjoys laughing along with me when we listen...maybe some other wives should try the same.

It's pretty much the best show that I know of. By the way, don't go to www.eatabullet.com

*Yawn* Just more Howard Stern clones. Only time these people make news is when they get fired. Nothing original.

Opie and Anthony stink and I don't like them. If you have something to say about that; please e mail me at Ben.Sparks@XMradio.com and I'll give you a piece of my mind. NO PICS OF BIG MULES PLEASE! P.S. Tom Brady was doing coke off of a hookers ass. P.P.S. Mark Parento will be personally delivering PSP's to the first 13 Newfies that e mail me.

Hoo Hooo.. i invented this board ... tell em Fred....because my sh!tty board failed and i made them take everything down that was bad about me and my girlfriend.... i put this one up, i invented survey things right robin... i did that before i invented the internet...you know what robin... i dont care.. i just dont care.. i really dont care.. i know they will say i care because i say i dont care.. but i really dont care. OnA.... on XM radio 202.. spread the virus, and the lil doggy company.. well.. anyone check thier sotck lately and compair it to XM..... wonder if they will have enough money to pay for ol washed up howie....

Beavis I have seen the future of satellite radio and their war cry is O&A Party Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spread the virus!!! XM

they are here to stay...F STERN!!!

This is the funniest show on radio! F off to those uptight people that think they're immature and sophomoric. They just don't know good radio when they hear it! This show is as funny as it gets and there's no way anyone can tell me different

The best at what they do.

Very lame, gave them a chance but very slow and dumb. Plus that other side kick sucks. He needs to get the flum out of his mouth.

Totally mean-natured, unintelligent creeps based completely on shock value. Like Howard Stern, these two deserve jail time--and nothing else!

The Pinnacle of what american guys like to listen to - not PU**IES.

Lame.

Gee, I wonder who might they be copying.

Radio Gods and I cannot wait to hear them on XM 202 October 4th!

The best thing to come from talk radio, Opie and Anthony.

Obnoxious, juvenile, noisy duo of mental retards who appeal to pimply teenaged boys and low class products of arrested development. I'm still trying to figure out which one I am. See you in a few months boys!

Sophomoric

Obnoxious, juvenile, noisy unfunny duo of mental retards who appeal to pimply teenaged boys and low class products of arrested development. Their program in NY, before it was mercifully yanked as a result of that pinheaded St. Patrick's Cathedral sex stunt, was the local market's prime example of air pollution.

Funniest pair on the radio....at least they were. I miss listening to you guys....find work in a hurry and put the WOW back in my day.
