Anthony’s little write-up was just him telling the story of getting ass raped by Boomer Esiason. Plus he was too pussy to even include Boomers name. Meanwhile, Opie’s entry was thoughtful, inspiring, and it still holds up as a synopsis of the great O&A Show. See for yourself and tell me who was the brains of the operation. Opie was the mastermind behind the entire brand.

ANTHONY thanx: JENNIFER, OPIE, MY BROTHER JOE, ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL FOR THE TELEPHONE (prank calls are hard to do in person!), ViTO CORLEONE, ELI WHiTNEY FOR THE COTTON GIN, MARSHA, JAN, CINDY, GREG, PETER, BOBBY, MiKE , CAROL, ALICE, TIGER, SAM THE BUTCHER. CAPTAIN MORGAN, BERNIE & PHiL, STIMiE, BUCKWHEAT. PETE POLINA (my high school Dean, who told me i was wasting my time in school: He was right!). How many people can say that they once had a fight with an NFL Quarterback? Hey, i did. Okay, so we were both only 11 years old at the time, but it happened! We were in the same 5th grade class back on Long island. He was the big jock type, loved by all the gym teachers. He even acquired his cool, macho nickname which he still uses today. How do you compete with that at eleven? Anyway, one day we were playing dodge ball and Mr. Future Quarterback was on the opposing team. With an arm like a P*ckin' cannon, he was taking people out like Pacino in the final scene of Scarface. My friend, Timmy Struthers was next to me when he made a fatal dodge ball error: he looked down. By the time Timmy's head came back up, Mr. NFL had already wound up and fired. Many years later i saw this quarterback on TV make that same throw 80 yards into the end zone. Timmy was only 10 feet away. The red rubber ball found its mark right on Timmy's forehead. "Yer out Struthers Walk it off-What, are you a girl?" yelled the gym teacher. I'd had ill This guy got away with everything. Now, i knew i could never beat him in a fight, but i had a secret Weapon: his real name. He hated it!

If OJ didn't kill Nicole, Anthony and I would probably not be doing this radio show!
I was doing a very successful night show at WBAB on Long island in the summer of 1994, when I encouraged local bands to come up with a song parody about the OJ fiasco. Although I got dozens of songs, there was one that stood out above the rest. “Electric Shock OJ” by RotGut peaked my demented sense of humor. It was by far the best song I received. I started playing it on the radio and proceeded to get hundreds of requests for the song.
I eventually invited the artist Anthony and his band to come down to play the song live on the air. I quickly realized that Anthony and I had the same demented look on the world. The second time Anthony appeared on the show, we both got head-butted in the groin by a goat. I think that's when we decided to become partners on the radio.
Soon after that, Anthony became a regular part of my show. He continued installing air conditioners during the day and would come in at night to hang out on the radio. I’ve met many comedians in my life and will honestly say that Anthony is the funniest person I’ve had the pleasure of working with. After only knowing Anthony a little over 6 months, we took the afternoon drive show at WAAF in March of 1995. After getting to know him some more, I was glad to find out that Anthony wasn't a serial killer.
Our philosophy is simple: We want to entertain as many people as humanly possible. While on the air, we make fun of everyone and everything. We even make fun of stuff that affects us personally. We're well aware that we upset at least one person every time we turn on the microphones, but I try not to let that get to me. Besides, in the words of my Dad... "If they crucified Christ, what chance do I have?"
With that in mind, I'm often asked if we find anything off limits. My answer is: As long as I know that we're making a lot more smile and laugh than are getting pissed at us, then I know we're doing our job.
