  • Unbelievable…bad

    This show is so bad. The exaggerated voices make no sense and are repulsive. There is attempt at comedy but the takes

    are bad. It sounds like a parody of a bad show.

  • Greg Hues made me laugh

    Greg (Opie Hughs) was spot on with his takes today . I was laughing the entire episode. From Rob Snider through Trump, he nailed it.

    It may be the funniest episode I have heard from Opie & Ron (esp. Opie) maybe ever

    Negs: Still too many commercials & too much talking over each other.

    I will always support the show.

  • Embarrassing

    I have been a fan since then old Opie and Anthony fans. I was even a fan at the beginning of this podcast, but what it has turned in to since the untimely deaths of Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley is just terrible. Opie is struggling so hard to be relevant and it is kind of sad to see. He just isn’t funny and he tries to hard to give commentary on stuff and he doesn’t realize we don’t care about his opinion. Hardly anyone knows who he is anymore and all the old fans have moved on to listening to podcas... more
