I listen to Opie and Anthony and if I've learned anything about being funny, it's that it is really random what people will like. Based on shows I've heard (and I've heard plenty), any caller can bomb completely and there are no indications that the hosts will find them funny. People that call in to be funny usually aren't and some that call in to refute something on the show on a serious note will become "Radio Gold".
On their talk show, they have callers commenting on anything from Jimmy Dean's Sausitches to "Dog" the bounty hunter to baseball players who take steroids.
Listening to lil' Jimmy Norton is usually the highlight of my day. That guy is filthy and hilarious on a daily basis. Even when he's bombing. Which is an impossible idea. Anthony is a gun-nut who can do voice impressions. Opie is an angry loudmouth host that ensures the show is entertaining every millisecond they are on the air. Great show for those who aren't PC and can take a joke.
I guess the obvious point is that, with these great influences, I still can't make something chuckle-worthy.So why am I talking about O and A? 2 reasons.
1. I can put their labels on my blog and get more hits.
2. Who cares. Leave me alone.
Maybe I'll put up a picture of a naked woman to grab whatever dregs troll through these blogs hoping for a peek at a nipple. Worth a shot and it gives them something to do with their other hand. And remember: The name of this blog is Inexperienced Hack. I'm nothing if not accurate.
