Opie and Jimmy are generally much more restrained when race issues come up and Anthony speaks freely and factually on the issue, but not empathetic. Anthony and Patrice O 'Neal had the most honest race discussions you'd ever hear.
Many cannot get over the language used and blow it off as garbage, but there will never be a more truthful show on the airwaves.
Perfectly said. They had a way of getting extremely interesting and funny interviews out of almost anyone who came on the show. For those who have never heard the show before, just go on youtube and listen to some of their stuff. Like Derek said, there will never be a more truthful, honest show on the airwaves.

I listen to a huge amount of radio & podcasts. In the 90s when I got sick of AM radio I would even clean out libraries of the decent books on tape. When early internet streaming evolved into podcasts I went full bore and got into Stern and O&A as soon as Sirius & XM were available.

Cumia is by far my favorite radio personality today. I haven't missed a minute since 2006, also got to watch a show sometime around 2008 in NYC when they had the bleachers set up in the old building. It's simply the most funny, engaging and entertaining radio show out there.

It's incredible what kind of crybabies our society has turned into, at the same time I always thought as a radio vet of over 20 years that Cumia knew how to walk that line without putting his job on the line again. They've been dissatisfied for quite a while anyways and have hinted at going out on their own. I can only hope they'll build their own studio and go the podcast route. I'd pay whatever I have to to get the show.

Sirius/XM blow anyways, besides Ron & Fez nothing else is worth listening to. Stern is horrible, his refusal to hire a new 3rd mic comic and the talent show talk make his show boring as hell.
