message: No mention of Sudley under Jim Nortons characters? The relative of Edgar who has long fingernails, is overly creepy and religious? "You need to find the lord girl!" Iscream22 (talk) 16:12, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Why isnt SPAZZ or Lobster Girl mentioned as show bits? Its one of the most famous bits they have ever done. When I first started to look up the b-b-b-b-b-boys on google I would always be prodded to search for "O & A Lobster Girl". 
Also their radio career needs to be documented to the bitter end, even tho it will just be temporary. This will make their comeback all that more sweet  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.19.47.197 (talk) 03:38, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The article says "As Ventura left the room where the show was being held, Norton said, "F---ing baby. Big f-ing guy who doesn't like the little guy yelling.""  I thought he said "Fucking baby" and "big fucking guy". Which was it?129.139.1.68 (talk) 19:51, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Rewrote the cake controversy section, added a couple references. I know that Opie has on the show and off commented about what happened off camera in terms of compensation, but don't have any links so left it out. Seemed less contentious to add without reference that it has appeared on the show regularly since then, but feel free to take that out if anybody finds it problematic. --Rhododendrites (talk) 15:05, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

message: I am requesting that the "Cumia Firing" section be revised to make the language more objective and encyclopedic.  Here is the source for the CURRENT text:
;Cumia firing
On July 3, 2014, Cumia was fired by Sirius XM, after making a series of questionable tweets following an off-air incident with a black woman on the street. Cumia tweeted that he was punched by the woman while attempting to take a picture, and made a series of tweets described by Sirius XM as "racially-charged and hate-filled".Todd Leopold, Opie & Anthony's' Anthony Cumia fired over tweets CNN, July 4, 2014. There was no comment as to Hughes' possible future with the company at that time. Sidekick Jim Norton is contemplating moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Cumia is reported "blackballed" in the industry and will never work in corporate radio again.  He will instead concentrate on developing his "Live From The Compound" podcast-style show, which he records from his residence in Long Island. Cumia has a history of racially charged epithets and slurs, but somehow has escaped the same punishment as other notable celebs, such as Jonah Hill and Paula Dean until now.
I am requesting that it be changed to the following to make the language more objective, and to remove the ridiculous reference to Jonah Hill and Paula Dean:

replies: text: The second one seems reasonable enough, but requires citations regarding Norton's career and Cumia's podcast. I removed everything after the sentence "There was no comment as to Hughes' possible future with the company at that time" until suitable sources can be found. jhsounds (talk) 12:37, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 8 July 2014 

message: Wouldn't it be appropriate and within the Wikipedia guidelines to change the opening part of the article to read the show in a past tense since technically The Opie and Anthony Show doesn't exist anymore, It's actually now called Opie with Jim Norton and until such time as the pair reunite as a broadcast team which maybe quite a while since Mr. Cumia is launching his own live podcast service and Messrs.'. Hughes and Norton will be at Sirius XM for the duration of their contract so really there is no O&A to speak of and I want to say that I'm not trying to be a dick about it, I was an O&A listener for many years I think if you want to keep it updated put it in a past tense then if they come back in what ever format then you can put it back in the present.

thread_title:  Change the article into the past tense... 

message: Since the show is no longer on and their careers have moved in different directions I have split their info out into their own pages. I am moving Opie's personal info into Gregg Hughes and Ant's too Anthony Cumia. As their careers continue apart it makes less and less sense to have one page. I also split Opie with Jim Norton into its own page since it all being here was too much. Please visit those individual pages and help improve them. - Galatz (talk) 16:31, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Whats up guys,
This article is missing a lot but one thing imparticular I'd like to add a section on is O&A's influence on stand up comedy and their relationship with certain stand up comedians. I'd like to focus on why their relationship with the stand up scene was unique, how it came to be (Norton was obviously a key factor) and summarize O&A's relationships with certain stand up comedians in general (Patrice O'neal, Louis C.K., Bill Burr, Joe Rogan, Colin Quinn). I think this is a pretty important chapter of the O&A saga. 
I'm not asking anyone else to do the research or anything, but am just not so sure how to frame the subject and was hoping to open a dialogue on what the best way to do that would be. And also hoping someone might have some good sources I could use to gather info. I've been collaborating youtube clips for a while now of old shows they did that are relevant, and have also bookmarked an episode of Joe Rogan's podcast in which he touches on this topic for a few minutes.
