I watched this last night. It is of median quality, it outlines parts of the history and the associated acts of the radio show but whitewashes a lot of what took place with Anthony and Jim post breakup of the show.
While he could have used more brevity, Beige really did the best job, even better than Porsalin imo. Porsalin's editing is obviously leagues beyond Beige or almost anyone else, but Beige articulated the history PHENOMENALLY
Nigga why would ask for that? If you stare at the shit you’ll be puking like Bob Kelly.
Do you know more about this? I’m curious.
Norton was a horrendous "stand up" even at his peak. I can never deny when he was good on raqio he was godly, but even at the pinnacle of his fame and ability, his stand-up was always Grade A dogshit.
I think Opie primarily gets a pass because he came across the most like a character on a radio show and while he was a cunt on the air seemed to be not nearly as much of a cunt off air. He also seemed to be a cunt on air to try and make "radio" happen as opposed to actually being a cunt. Primarily - he was the one credited with helping interns work out bits and build connections (like Bombs and Flubs, Line of the Day, etc) off air where as Anthony had the reputation of flying out of the door like a bat out of hell the picosecond the show ended and Norton just being a general weirdo.
Jim Norton has done literally nothing of value with every chance he's been given. O&A were really comfortable taking chances and pushing boundaries (the audio tapes, the comedy tour, the live studio audience, the networking with WWE/XFL, the expanded 202 programming, etc) where as Jim Norton just does a sub-standard radio show that makes 0 waves despite having somewhat of a built in audience.
Because Jimmy isn't that funny outside OnA. Great as a third wheel, pretty bad at stand up.
Jim’s husband is a literal whore. He’s treating Jimmy like any other john he’s had in the past. He’s going to burn through whatever wealth Jim is going to have and then he’s going to divorce him. The only question is if this is some extended humiliation fetish Jimmy is playing out for the world to see or if he truly thinks he can make it work with “Nikki.”
The Norwegian has been posting videos on YouTube where he sings about being “married to a millionaire” and showing off Jim’s apartment (which honestly is very modest for Manhattan, not a rich man pad). He is much larger and stronger than his worm husband and is probably already physically abusing Jim to get his way.
Maybe that's why he wants to adopt a kid. I could see Jim getting stuck paying a man child support.
These guys’ egos wouldn’t allow it but this is probably the best way to handle thots. I think back to guys like Scott Adams who married a thot and after a couple years of marriage had to fork over several million dollars. Adams was better off just paying Kristina Basham $10k for a week and never see her again. Nobody ever thinks these whores love these guys, they’re just there while the money is still good and they’re out when it’s not. It’s better to hire prostitutes, not marry them, and Jimmy will find this out the hard way.
Opie also gets a pass because looking at things now, you realize he isn't that bad of a person in this universe. Anthony at this point is a violent felon, an addict and more than likely is a pedophile. Is being an unfunny radio host the way Opie is that bad of a thing in the grand scheme of things?
