The Opie & Anthony Show was a radio show hosted by Gregg "Opie" Hughes, Anthony Cumia and Jim Norton. The show, nicknamed O&A, originated at Long Island radio station WBAB-FM in 1994, when Opie, then host of the "Nighttime Attitude", invited Anthony in as a guest co-host after airing a parody tune from his band Rotgut, "They're Gonna Electric-Shock O.J.". The pairing was successful enough for the station to bring Anthony on full-time. O&A moved to Boston-area radio station WAAF-FM in 1995, and their stint at WAAF lasted until 1998, when they made headlines by getting fired after airing an April Fools Day fake report of Boston mayor Thomas Menino getting killed in a car crash. O&A next surfaced on New York's WNEW-FM, where their show ran from 1998 to 2002. This time it was an incident involving two listeners simulating sex acts in St. Patrick's Cathedral that got them kicked off the air.After a contractually-imposed two-year hiatus, The Opie & Anthony Show moved to XM Satellite Radio in the fall of 2004, where they could do edgier, uncensored material. (They still had to deal with corporate policies and lawyers, however.) The show aired on the newly-merged SiriusXM and had a brief (edited) run on syndicated terrestrial radio from 2006 to 2009.On July 4th 2014, Anthony announced he had been fired by SiriusXM after ten years of broadcasting. The show was then renamed Opie with Jim Norton. After a falling out, Opie and Jimmy began hosting separate shows in October 2016 (the latter hosted by Norton and O&A producer Sam Roberts). Anthony has hosted The Anthony Cumia Show since August 4, 2014 via his subscription platform, Compound Media. Artie Lange co-hosted from August 7, 2017 before bowing out in May 2018 due to health concerns. In July 2017, Opie himself was fired from SiriusXM. | |

Crosses the Line Twice | |
| Opie & Anthony (Radio) / int_148e222c | comment |
Lady Di spent the first day of her internship being mocked for her stupidity, ugliness and laziness. The second day was spent with Di becoming increasingly ill do to alcohol withdrawal and the boys realized that Lady Di is in much worse condition than they expected, is completely unable to function in society and is likely to die within a few years. Zig-zagged back on the third day when Di's shenanigans became so annoying and over-the-top that her miserable existence became funny again. | |

Dumbass DJ: Jocktober is dedicated to finding and goofing on these. Particular "favorites" include "The Scott & Todd Show", anyone who tries to use prep services or "Fugitive" promotions, and fellow XM jocks John & Jeff. The boys themselves in their Boston days. The last day of Jocktober/the first day after Jocktober is spent Jocktobering their past selves. | |

Divorce Assets Conflict | |
| Opie & Anthony (Radio) / int_309edee6 | comment |
Divorce Assets Conflict: The end result of Ant's marriage to Jennifer, a conflict she won by a landslide. He and Opie tried to withdraw half of the money from their joint account but she beat him to the punch and left him just a few dollars. He had to break into his own house to get his stuff back. In the end he ended up paying a large settlement and substantial alimony and as a result he hates anybody named "Jennifer." | |

Literal Money Metaphor: In one infamous radio contest in which they would give a caller "a Hundred Grand", the actual prize being a Hundred Grand-brand candy bar rather than $100,000; in 2005, a radio station in Kentucky that did a similar giveaway was sued. | |

Since then they both have attacked each other in various appearances and now they outright hate each other. Opie and Jim also fell out and continue to hate on each other in various media. | |

Humiliation Conga | |
| Opie & Anthony (Radio) / int_890d4ef2 | comment |
Humiliation Conga: For Opie following the breakup of Opie with Jim Norton in October 2016. First, following a disastrous attempt at renegotiating his contract, he loses his coveted morning spot to Jim and his former intern Sam Roberts much to his frustration. Then in January '17, Sirius XM renames the channel from Opie Radio to Faction Talk. The following months see the popularity and viewership of his afternoon show noticeably decline leading to stunts like Opie ambushing and filming one of his crew members in the bathroom. Not long after that, one of his producers calls him out and voices his frustrations with Opie's hypocritical behavior on the air. Finally in July 2017, following word that the crew member (who has mental issues) who was filmed in the bathroom had complained about the incident to HR, Sirius XM has officially confirmed that they had terminated their contract with Opie. So within the span of less than a year Opie lost his show, his channel and his job. Ouch. Some see it as poetic justice, given his past behavior. | |

Karmic Misfire | |
| Opie & Anthony (Radio) / int_90e061dd | comment |
Karmic Misfire: The 2010 bit "Popeye the Savior Man" featured Anthony, Jimmy, and, to a much lesser extent, Patrice O'Neal, making jokes about Popeye as Jesus. Patrice even said during the bit that he didn't want to get involved because of the subject matter. Guess which of the three would suffer from and die of a stroke the following year?note To be fair, Patrice was in much poorer health than the other two, as he was extremely overweight and suffered from diabetes. And it's not like Anthony and Jimmy haven't had problems of their own since that bit. | |

Mood Whiplash: Happens occasionally when a bit turns serious. "What the Hell Is That" was a bit where listeners were invited to show off physical deformities and have them explained by a doctor. The jokes stopped when the doctor found what appeared to be cancer in a guy's mouth. Lady Di spent the first day of her internship being mocked for her stupidity, ugliness and laziness. The second day was spent with Di becoming increasingly ill do to alcohol withdrawal and the boys realized that Lady Di is in much worse condition than they expected, is completely unable to function in society and is likely to die within a few years.

And were it not for the bosses getting in the way, Run Around the Park for Erin. (You figure it out.) Female listener Erin proposed a contest in which she would run around a local park wearing a set of flag football tags, and whoever could catch her and rip off a tag first would win a prize. However, due to the Unfortunate Implications relating to the contest name, the idea was rejected by the management. | |

Fun with Acronyms | |
| Opie & Anthony (Radio) / int_c25c7890 | comment |
Fun with Acronyms: The infamous "WOW", which stood for "Whip'em Out Wednesday". And were it not for the bosses getting in the way, Run Around the Park for Erin. (You figure it out.) Female listener Erin proposed a contest in which she would run around a local park wearing a set of flag football tags, and whoever could catch her and rip off a tag first would win a prize. However, due to the Unfortunate Implications relating to the contest name, the idea was rejected by the management. | |

Irony | |
| Opie & Anthony (Radio) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: In 2014, Sirius XM fired Anthony for allegedly filming an angry African American woman against her will and saying perceived racial insults. Fast forward three years and Sirius XM has fired Opie for filming someone against their will while they were using the bathroom. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Opie & Anthony (Radio) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: The boys all have some hangups and all of them can be traced back to their childhoods. Opie had a sheltered upbringing under an oppressive and mentally unstable mother (explaining his Control Freak tendencies), Anthony was raised by his occasionally abusive, neglectful, irresponsible racist father (explaining his emotional repression and political beliefs) and Jimmy had plethora of sexual experiences with other children as a young boy (explaining his sex addiction as well as his urine and anal fixations). | |

One Extra Member: Jim Norton's been an official co-star of the show since 2002, but there's no push to rename the show Opie, Anthony & Jimmy. (Although he's jokingly suggested it should be called Norton & Friends.) Since Anthony's firing Jimmy has moved up to second billing on Opie with Jim Norton. After Opie's firing now it is Jim Norton and Sam Roberts | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: Opie, Anthony, Jim, and guests Vos, Patrice O'Neal, and Colin Quinn all spend lots of time trashing each other. Despite that, they are all friends and use the show to plug their various appearances. Subverted with Opie and Anthony, who maintained a working relationship but stopped talking outside of the show, and had a strained relationship long before Anthony was fired. | |

Manchild: As is often noted by Opie, Anthony has been seventeen years old for thirty years and his entire life revolves around "toys" (guns, big TVs, gadgetry, jacuzzis, etc.) in a big play house where he throws lots of wild parties. But hey, he can afford it, right? | |

| Opie & Anthony (Radio) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: While the Uncle Paul character stayed creepy throughout the show's run, he became a lot hammier and goofier than in his initial appearances as he went from a tool for Jimmy to troll his co-hosts to one for mocking pedophilia scandals in the news. | |
