Tbh, I tried listening to the Opiate Anthony show, and I eventually had to give up because of Anthony's horrendous performative over-laughing. It started to get worse around 2007, although they always did it from the outset of the show. It's part of having a radio show. The worst is when the idiotic interns, WHO NO ONE KNOWS OR CARES ABOUT, are laughing even louder than the talent (eg Joe Derosa, Bobby Kelly). It's like they're millennials who transparently want to go their friends after and say, "That guy laughing really loud on that podcast? That was ME! And boy do I know funny!!"

"During spontaneous laughter, the emotional vocal system produces qualities that signal “arousal” — higher pitch and volume, as well as faster bursts of non-articulate sounds and more non-tonal noise. These sounds carry subtle clues that a laugh is authentic.
On the other hand, volitional laughter is produced by a system in the brain that controls the tongue and lips, our instruments of speech."
It's like they all think think we're IDIOTS, sitting there without a piece of cake, and being fooled by this Goombah Long Island nonsense that is clearly playing to the cheap seats.
The Brain Can Distinguish between Real and Fake Laughter
Nongenuine chuckles cause a specific cortical region to “light up” more

People across cultures and continents are largely able to tell the difference between a fake laugh and a real one.
