Rogan and Burr Reminisce About Opie & Anthony

It's like when we would do the Opie and Anthony show. Mm-hmm. Okay? Mm-hmm. Or like Howard Stern. Like when he would do, back in the day, when he would do live remotes. I love Howard Stern. I love Opie and Anthony. But like if I was a fan of this show, I don't have time and I'm not going to some fucking mall. In the middle of the day blowing off work or whatever the fu- because I'm trying to get my own shit going. The people that show up, you love them because they're diehards. But they're out of their fucking minds. So, it just has to do with that. I'm kind of- It doesn't necessarily have to do with me, but it does. It's one of those things. And it's also another way of saying that I'm full of shit. Yeah, and you're a paper tiger. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So. The Opie and Anthony days, you remember when they used to have stadium seating, like small stadium seating in the studio? And guys would come in the studio, they would let fans come in the studio. Yeah. And sit and watch the show. Those are the good old days. Yeah. I stood- every time I go to New York, it's like a void. Somebody said it perfectly, like, you know, Phantom Limb, you know? Yeah. That's what it feels like. And it gets, oh, I'm in New York and I'm gonna- Doesn't exist. That was the last show that I used to get up early for. Oh, and when they were together, before Anthony got kicked out and Opie and Jimmy and Anthony were all together, it was amazing. That was like seeing a band with all the original members on the first fucking couple of albums tour before David Lee goes solo and then, you know. Well, they were the first guys to get ported over to XM too, right? They were the first, or I think they were, were they before Howard or around the same time? But they were, they were the first- Yeah, I was about to say, I think my name is, they were on, that was someone who was XM and then Sirius before- Yeah, I feel like Howard was on Sirius, they were on XM and then they merged. Yeah. But they were the first show, the first radio show that let you just fuck around. Like Howard is amazing, right? Greatest radio personality of all time by far. But Howard controlled the show. He had you on, he had the board in front of him. He controlled the board. He asked you questions. He had an agenda and, you know, he was trying to make the show as entertaining as possible. And they got ready. Yeah. Oh, and hey, you just fuck it. Come on in guys. Come on in Patrice. Come on in, Bill. Ari Shafir, have a seat. And everybody, you'd be in the room, breakage your face, 10 fucking people in the room. Norton, Norton would be doing fucking creepy characters. I mean, it was the, it was, it was the birth for me. Jive Talk Jimmy was my favorite one. Oh, it was- Jive Talk Jimmy. Yeah, man. You didn't do it enough. That's like a deep cut Jim Norton. Jive Talk Jimmy was one of my favorite ones. Yeah. It was so silly, which is my favorite thing ever. Highly intelligent people being silly is one of my favorite things ever. And Jim was the, and Patrice was sort of the king of that. Oh yeah. Super, super, super next level smart and just silly, really silly. I had to, when Howard went from terrestrial radio to serious, it was like he died because I didn't have until I got serious in my car. So that's like my favorite thing about my car. Cause I listened to them every fucking morning. If I, you know, I got to get them up and it's like the old days, like when I first came to New York and I get to listen to it. They were the birth of podcast, whether they realized it or not, they were the birth of podcasts because ONA was like a podcast, like this podcast. Like we didn't even talk about what we were going to talk about. Right. There's no fucking discussion whatsoever. I mean, obviously you and I don't have to do that, but we wouldn't anyway. We just come in here and shoot the shit. That's all they ever did. Come on in, shoot the shit. What the fuck's going on? You know, Anthony would have a gun on him. Look fucking show you. That's a fucking gun everywhere to this day. That guy doesn't go to piss in the middle of the night. My favorite deep cut Anthony character was the guy with giantism. Did you ever hear him do that guy? No. Ah, no, he did. I can't do it. You know, the giantism and they get that voice, you know, by the time I was eight, I was nine feet tall. I can't do it. He would do this fucking thing. I know he's going there dragging ass and then like something like that would happen and then it just felt like two in the afternoon somehow. And you look at your watch. It was like fucking seven Oh two in the morning. Do you remember when Anthony did live from the compound? He did a, he built a studio in his basement. That's when I was like, Oh, and this is not going to last. This guy's literally building. It's just like, it's like we're in business selling ice cream and I'm building my own ice cream parlor at home. No, no, John, I'm in this business with you. I knew like, like this. They're going to fall apart. You know, what's funny is what did that show and is also what made it great. Yeah. Like, you know, they used to play the, oh shit. They used to play the, sorry about that. They used to play the, the Clint Eastwood. Uh, yeah. Thing. I always thought the theme to that show should have been the wheels on the bus go around and round. Cause it was just like, yeah. And the thing was you were on the bus, but you were outside it. You were hanging, it was, you almost like, uh, I always felt like when I went in there, that Raiders of the Lost Ark, you know, when Harrison Ford's on the hood and you're grabbing onto the photo, and I'm like, Hey, not to go underneath it. And some days you hung on. And then other days, yeah. Except it didn't have the happy ending. They didn't have the whip to hang onto it. You just fucking. Do you remember the day we were there and Pat from Munaki threw up in, um, are you kidding me? Pat Duffy's mouth. That was your idea. Yeah. And then that dude, Than Nathaniel came, he was the one that coined it. The baby, I got credit for some reason. I think Dan's voice sounded like me. He came up. He came up. I've been saying it's you. No, your idea was your idea. You were like, the only thing that could top this. For those who didn't see it, it's such a brilliant idea. It was the eggnog drinking contest and you had to do a double shot. Like it was bourbon, but it was eggnog, like every 30 seconds. Well, Pat, the returning champion was Pat from Munaki who had diabetes and lost a toe to it already. It was just sitting there. And then he continued to drink it to do the bit that you came up with. I mean, there has to be like a, um, you know, when like a broadcaster can get into the sports hall of fame, just because, you know, he never played the game, but he, like, you know, because of what he added to it. I always thought that Pat Munaki should have been like, they should have been like, like, uh, like a chick heard Johnny Mo sort of award that he fucking can, with, with his, his health continued to drink. I remember when, when people posted that video, everyone was saying fake. This isn't real. That made me enjoy it. Real. It's like, no, that was real. And I was there. There was plastic bags all over the ground. Remember they, they, they put plastic everywhere all over the ground because they knew that people were going to throw up. They had the garbage can ready. And then Pat Duffy leans his head over the edge of the garbage can and then Pat from Munaki just here. Come. You see him. Oh, and then it keeps coming. It keeps coming like way crazier. It was like a hybrid. You just went freaking, it just fucking came out and then somebody kept shutting it off and every time, I mean, it was like a, it is, uh, there it is. I can't, I can't watch this. You can't watch this. You know, I still can't tell the story. If I tell it in detail, I start gagging. I'll see fear factor killed all that in me. I never, I'll tell the one that makes me gag. I start to gag is when there was the dude. Fucking watch. It was true. It was tremendous. I say, I'll say it real quick. Just go through it. You look, you're tearing up. There was a dude who got knocked out. So then what he did was he started, he puked into a pitcher. He puked into a pitcher and then he was drinking his own puke, trying to make the other people puke. So then somebody dared this guy who had to take a swig from it. And he had like this hipster Viking level beard. And he, I can't do it. You're going to throw up. I can't do it. This is like fucking 10 years later. He took this Viking level swig. He just threw it back. So he gave himself like kind of like a facial with it. And then he puked into the pitcher, I think. And I remember it was in his beard. There's a point in that podcast and in that pocket and in that show where I almost puked. Yeah. That was a crazy thing about seeing so many people puke. Bill's going to go, Bill's going to go. And I was like hanging on to the fucking table. Yeah. We didn't realize that at the time, but those are some of the greatest moments of our life. You know, you got to forgive, forgive yourself that because you were in the moment. Oh yeah. I was feeling like melancholy when I was in Vegas and I had, you know, I had this, uh, I was sitting in my room smoking a cigar with Bobby Kelly, Rick D'Aaliyah, you know, uh, from Boston scene, right? Uh, and we were sitting and I was looking down at the strip before they came over. And I was thinking about the first time I came out there was right, right before they imploded the sands or the dunes or something, and they were starting to implode those old ones and, uh, just walking up and down the strip and the real was the new hot one, uh, uh, casino and just all the great fucking times that I, and crazy fucking stories and all that. And then just walking around Vegas, being old now and seeing all these young people like, and you want to stop them and just be like, dude, if you could, there's any way to take this in. Do it because, you know, at my age, if I was to continue doing that, you're just a creep and I really respect younger people where it's just like, this is their time, let them have it. That's their club. Don't be standing in there with your white whiskers and shit. Listen, trying to listen to their DJ music. Just get the fuck out of there. Let them enjoy their generations drugs and let them have their fucking stories and just, yeah, yeah. There's no way you could impart that on anyone though. Tell them to soak it up and enjoy it. I had moments where I remember thinking when I was young, like, wow, this is a wild moment. Well, I remember you that night after the, uh, the baby bird, you were at Carolines, you were Carolines. And I went down there and you had this debt, that fucking grin on your face. You're like, that was great radio. I was just like, I remember, uh, I told that, I told the whole fucking story. I came home. Nia had just started living with me and, uh, her friend was there and I was telling the story of what I saw that day. And I was laying on the ground crying, laughing, telling, and then this guy did this, do you remember the guy who was fucking, uh, he would do his shot and when anybody would puke, he would stand over in the corner and not face them. He was facing the corner. So we started calling him Blair, which everybody got there. So I'm crying, laughing and then gagging as I'm telling the story. And then they weren't laughing, which made it even funnier to me. And then I just remember a friend at one point just was like, she was like, where did they find these people? And then that was, that just sent me over the top. I was like, I don't know. Just crying, laughing, but God bless them.
