Talk about respect -- these guys are the funniest thing to ever hit the airwaves. Way to tell them how you feel to their face COWARD. I used to lke you as a poker player and cheer you on, but now I hope your ex-fiance dumps your stiff, humorless corpse into the pacific ocean. LOSE ALL OF YOUR MONEY you conservative douchebag.

you are officiallly the new clown of the forum. Congrats

allgood called...he wants his job back

Shutup moron!

You're just a bunch of tools anyway -- you'll never become good poker players -- EVER, keep wasting your money and dreaming of wearing those snake eye glasses.

lol

hahaha... this thread is a prime example of why i occasionally check this forum out after work... this is gonna be fun to read tomorrow morning

Where did this come from, what is he referring to?

I'm a huge fan of Opie and Anthony and I'm a fan of Danny N. as a poker player. I really think that under the right circumstances, the O+A gang and Danny could get along (to an extent, at least - I don't see Danny throwing cherry darts at a 50-year-old virgin's *******). Unfortunately, the circumstances weren't right when that opportunity arose, and instead of an interesting interview, we got an uncomfortable, cringe-worthy exchange. I'm really glad that the boys do what they do, and that they don't cower to celebrities and their egos (this is no comment on Danny's ego - from what I could tell, Opie and the ever-awful Joe Rogan didn't even realize his status as a niche celebrity). But obviously, when people are unprepared for their show, it can be sort of off-putting. I just hope that Danny realizes that he wasn't being attacked - that's just the way they are, and what their show is like. If he had come in another day (as in, if Ant were there) the whole situation could have turned out differently. And for any Daniel Negreanu fans who aren't familiar with O+A's fan base... there are some intelligent ones, but a lot of them are uneducated animals. Just a head's up.

so basically its a howard stern ripoff....how boring

They are the most successful and most blatent Howard Stern ripoffs in the business. They aren't worth the paper their paychecks are written on. They are so bad at what they do they constantly get kicked off the air. Stern has managed to do his show for over 20 years with nothing more than fines.

I think these guys got thrown off the air for airing some kind of sex act (Oral I believe) from their studio during Mardi Gras.

They are unoriginal and obnoxious. I wish Stern would have Daniel on. They constantly talk about poker and I think they would have a good interview and show respect to Daniel. Not like these losers.

This is why I don't live anywhere near that cesspool of vomit called LA.

Wish I had actually heard the show when Daniel was on so I could figure out what actually happened. These two dudes seem to be two grade A jackasses from what I can tell.

Ummm... Opie and Anthony are from New York.

And to clear a few things up:

O+A are absolutely NOT Howard Stern rip-offs. HS had his moment, and now he's just awful and unfunny. O+A have their moments of stupidity, but their show is genius. Talk to any edgy (ie good) stand-up comic and they've probably been on O+A's show. It's because O+A give them a forum to speak and be heard, unlike Howard Stern, who has to have his mic levels higher than anyone else in the studio because of his bloated ego.

They've never been kicked off the air for anything involving oral sex at Mardi Gras.

They've never been fired because they're not good. They are always fired when they're in their prime wherever they are. They're so dedicated to their show that they'll sacrifice it all if it means staying true to who they are and what they do.

The reason that a lot of O+A fans are coming here and stirring things up is because they're confused as to why Daniel didn't say anything at the time. He genuinely sounded like he was having a good time (okay, maybe the gorilla eff-ing comments were going a little to far).

Don't make uninformed assumptions... Do some simple research.

they are doing what howard did....simple as that.....not funny ,as it has already been done...

they are funny...... i did enjoy them when they were on in philly


i enjoyed don & mike too



but howard is king

Opie and Anthony originated at WAAF in Boston back in the early nineties. WAAF was a small station back then. They were up against the powerful, corporate, WBCN. ANyway Opie and Anthony were huge when they came on the air, they ripped WBCN apart and everyone in Boston knew who they were. Then one day, they told a joke that said, Tom Menino, (Boston's Mayor) had died in a car crash. That didnt go over too well, especially since Menino's wife was listening to the show.

They were run out of Boston, spent some time in Rhode Island where they started to get syndicated across the country. They returned to Boston under contract from a new company, that company of course, was WBCN! It was a pretty lame move.

Last year they dared two contestants to have sex in a pew at one of the big churches in NYC. The FCC kicked them off the air. Now ,I do believe, they are on a satellite radio station.

Anyway, In daniels last journal, he mentioned that he did an interview with then, and that it was vulgar. Thats about the basis of the story, from what I can gather.

I just wanted to let you guys know who Opie and Anthony are: because I am a True Bostonian and O & A are originally from the Boston Radio Market.

And to the original poster.......

THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE!

You sound uneducated when you blurt things.

If I wanted to tune in to hear an old woman complain for four hours, I'd call up my grandmother. She complains endlessly about her condo's management company. The ceiling leaks, they shovel the snow up to her door, the sidewalks are angled toward her garage... I don't turn on the radio to hear this. I turn it on to be amused, or, at the very least, to hear something interesting. Howard doesn't do this. O+A do.

Howard was once funny, but he's just lost touch. He looks and sounds like a cranky old woman. He is just awful, and his move to satellite is going to bomb horribly.

How about we work on that fact checking... They never worked out of Rhode Island. They were at WNEW in New York, where they eventually got syndicated to over twenty markets, including Boston. They went to WBCN because it was Infinity-owned, as was WNEW. The FCC didn't kick them off the air. Their show was cancelled by Infinity due to pressure from conservative religious factions, most notably the Catholic League, after the St. Patrick's Cathedral stunt. They were still under contract to WNEW, but their show just wasn't airing. When their contract ended, they signed to XM satellite radio.

HS is def better than O&A, and Artie is the man. I've listened to both, right now I listen to Howard on the way to work. Back to the thread, so what if Dan was put off by the interview. Last time I checked , people are allowed to say what they want in their journals. For guys who are used to pushing peoples buttons and claiming Dan is a joke, they seemed really pissed off about the whole thing. To quote Artie Lang "Whah Whah Whah!" People rarely like to be put into uncomfortable situations, but at least Howard knows this and doesn't give people crap for being uncomfortable. And the responses by the people of that website are priceless: fantastic arguements that make me want to respect their listeners :roll:

Dan is the man, and if these guys can dish out played out d*** and fart jokes that Howard pioneered, than they should be able to just ignore a celebrity who didn't appreciate the interview.

I'm not gonna bash Opie and Anthony for being vulgar, b/c I'm a very big proponent of open discussion, and free speech, but, if you're gonna ask someone to be on a show, it would be polite to tell them something about the show, and perhaps make sure that their ok with the content of the show, but I just don't understand why people find this sutff funny.....honestly, I don't see how anybody with any level of decent intelligence can find their rediculous drible funny. Once again, I don't care what they say, I just don't think its funny and don't understand how anybody can say its funny. And, on that foundry music website where the guy said "He has no college education and he plays POKER for a living in dank, smoke filled casinos that overflow in booze and hookers. You'd think he'd be a bit more, well, guy-like." that's just flat-out disrespectful and to be honest, I don't think this guy deserves a job. I'd be surprised if this guy is even a high-school graduate. And since when is someone having some morals considered non"guy-like". These guys seriously need to grow up and move out of their mom's basement.

I used to listen to howard stern. But there is just nothing new, ever, on his show. Its still all about lesbians and strippers. It gets old after the millionth time.

I believe Howard will not do as well as people think he will on satellite. I say this because he built his career "pushing the envelope" so to say. After he gets on satellite, he can do whatever the hell he wants. No more need to push the envelope. Now what?

I haven't heard today's show... Did they mention the incident?

They originally started at at WAAF Boston before they were ever syndicated anywhere. And they spent the first 2 days on WBCN, which was syndicated at the time, making fun of WAAF. As for thinking it was Providence instead of New York. Sorry.

Oh yeah and the FCC didnt kick them off the air, im sure they had nothing to do with it.

maybe howard isnt funny anymore..but at least he was the first radio guy doing that kinda stuff...these guy are just doing what he did 15 years ago..it was funny then,,now its unoriginal and stupid

O&A talked about it on the show today. They said that they understood that Daniel was a little put-off from the interview. Their point was that if he had to say something, they wanted him to say it to their faces. I'm a huge O&A fan, and I was a little pissed at the way they treated Dan. It could have gone a lot better, and I think they could have had a much better interview had it taken place today instead of yesterday (i.e. minus Joe Rogan and Rich Vos and plus Anthony). Hopefully Daniel understands this and he and O&A try to smooth things over, which O&A seem to want to do.

As for Foundrymusic, O&A don't really control what goes on there; their producers do. So don't take what Foundry Music says as what O&A think.

That said, I think that this thread is becoming more an O&A vs. Stern thread, which it shouldn't be. Stay on topic please.

Yeah I figured they weren't from LA, but it was the only thing I could think of (cesspool of vomit remark). Especially when they've got some idiot camera guy on the forum bashing Daniel and feeding fire to a bunch of Q&A fans who seem to love to hurl the f-bomb.

This is a bunch of lunacy.

Ok fellow O&A fans - lay off Dan and his board. He didn't know what the show was about and they didn't know his limits, it's over. It's too bad it was a bad experience because he did a great job on the show, especially thwarting Jimmy's gag.

As for Howard, I'm sorry but his propaganda about inventing this type of radio is not supported by the facts. Imus was doing it for at least a decade before Hoo Hoo, and Bob Grant in NY and Jerry Williams in Boston (the king of talk radio when Stern was at BU) also influenced the shock jock format, along with many others. Calling Opie and Anthony "clones" of Howard Stern makes about as much sense as calling Chris Rock a clone of Richard Prior. As to which show is better, I think Stern's behind the scenes gag order of O&A when they both worked for Viacom says alot about who was insecure about whose show.

As a fan of both Daniel & O & A, I think Daniel came off very small.
He had a good time on the radio show and then blasts them hours later in his blog.

I can understand how a man might be upset at the thought of his former fiance (less than a week) getting "liberated" by some golfer 2 days after they broke up.

I can understand how he might be offended that he was not recognized by Opie or Joe Rogan who were broadcasting from the WPT.

However, to act as a hypocrit and cry about his appearance on the show after the fact is garbage. If he had any balls, he would call the show next week and say what he has to say.

Ed Asner, now he can be proud of himself.

we forget that what dn writes in his blog are his personal thoughts..he allows us to read them ...he can say whatever he wants....he didnt like the interview ,but he had the class to go along with it while he was there...and why do a radio show from a wpt event if you know zero about poker?

The way one acts is usually an indication of his upbringing. Being Canadian (and the cliche is we're too polite) I'm sure Daniel wouldn't feel comfortable telling his hosts exactly how he was feeling.

If nothing else, DN has proven to be a gentleman, grinned and beared the time on the air and politely left.

Would we expect anythign else?

After the fact he felt comfortable enough with us, and with those in the poker community, to share his real feelings.

I still have nothing but respect for the man.

Totally unwarranted and stupid that these shock coc.ks even decided to call him out on this. OMG he wrote a paragraph expressing his distaste of the show; i've never known that to be tantamount to cowardly hypocrisy.

O&A GFYurself.

I wanna know who the clown is that had to check his journal the next day to see what Dan said about them. Thats like 5th grade shit.

For everyone saying "OMG WTF THESE ***ORZ DUNNO HOO DANNY IS!!1!!", am I the only one who thinks Daniel should have researched O&A a little more before he agreed to appear?

I mean, yeah, people who have no idea who you are when they interview you is kind of weird, but unless this was a spur-of-the-moment type of thing (And Daniel thus had no time to find to really find out about O&A), is "I had no idea what I was signing up for" really a plausible excuse here (Particularly when one of the complaints is "They had no idea who I was!")?

Again, I don't know all the circumstances behind this, but to me, it doesn't exactly make you look good when you go into an interview having no idea what it's really all about, then complain that the interviewers, in turn, don't know you.

BTW these are the links most everyone is referring to

http://www.opieanthony.net/fortopic6259.html

emptyeye, it was a spur of the moment thing.

Okay, then he's forgiven for not knowing what o&a are really all about.

It's easy for me to agree with some of the masses and say that he should've spoken up then and there, but I probably wouldn't do that in that situation myself. This probably says more about me as a person than it does about whether this is necessarily the correct thing to do though.

I just listened to the replay of today's show when they had Chris Fergunson on. The interview (done mostly by Anthony) was spur of the moment, very clean, informative and almost completely poker-oriented. I stand by the fact that if Daniel had been interviewed today instead of yesterday, we wouldn't be talking about this at all. It would have been just another interview.

To a few other points mentioned:

1.) O&A were hosting from the WPT because Anthony was invited to play. Opie and Joe Rogan know next to nothing about poker and were only there because Anthony was playing in the tournament. It was an opportunity to get more exposure for their show and have easy access to celeb guests; not to cause problems with poker players

2.) O&A didn't go running to Daniel's blog to see what was posted; they really couldn't care less. The O&A fan base is made up of lunatics. They were the ones who went looking for anything that might have been said about the show. So don't view Opie and Anthony as asses when it was their fans that brought it to their attention.

3.) I respect Daniel for doing the show on the spur of the moment and going with the flow. I think that he was one of the better guests that they had on in the past two days. It's too bad that things turned out the way they did, but you shouldn't take this one incident and start throwing judgements about O&A around. I was a big fan of Howard Stern and O&A at one point, but decided that O&A was the better show. Everyone had their own opionion, but don't judge them without knowing them.

O&A fans: Lay off. There's no reason to bash him.

No one is bashing Daniel, just calling him out. He should act like a man instead of a little girl.

That is the definition of hypocrisy, you ass

dam....lost another job
