| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00  | here it is or use the link: http://www.playboy.com/sports/qa/ The first of what's expected to be a long list of XFL casualties are pre-game hosts Opie and Anthony. Outrageous and crude, obsessed with breasts and with little of the polish of their NFL counterparts, the shock jock duo seemed like a perfect fit for the renegade league. But due to the XFL's flagging ratings, Opie and Anthony got the sack after just four weeks. A thinking man's Beavis and Butt-head, Opie and Anthony are again focusing all of their demented energy on their New York-based radio show, doing their best to, as Anthony says, "take the low-brow and bring it a little higher." The pair is known for their cunning stunts -- from broadcasting live while dodging golf balls on a driving range fairway to reporting a fabricated car crash that supposedly took the life of Boston Mayor Tom Menino. The latter -- an April Fool's prank -- fooled the whole of Boston, including Mrs. Menino, and got them fired. Now working at WNEW 102.7 in New York, the pair is best known for Whip'em Out Wednesdays -- or WOW. Slap a WOW sticker on your car, and you may be treated to a drive-by breast-flashing from female fans of the show. Opie and Anthony have taken a bite out of the 18-49 male demographic that the Howard Stern show has lorded over for years, and Stern, predictably, is no fan of the show. He reportedly became so upset by their hazing that he instructed the brass at Infinity Broadcasting, for whom both he and Opie and Anthony work, to forbid the pair from mentioning his name on-air. Opie Hughes and Anthony Cumia sat down with Playboy.com and waxed poetic on their short stint with the XFL, the power of the c-word and how O.J. brought them together. Playboy.com: So what happened to your XFL gig? Anthony: We were told by NBC that the show was costing about $50,000 a week to put together. We were taking the place of the last half-hour of Access Hollywood in a lot of markets, but it was costing NBC too much money, so they decided to air Access Hollywood in its entirety. If the XFL was doing better, I think we'd still be doing the show. We were having fun. Opie: They said it had nothing to do with us, and that they'd consider us for future sports projects at NBC. Playboy.com: Can the XFL be salvaged? A: They've got to come up with something pretty spectacular to pull it out of the doldrums. I couldn't even hazard a guess as to what it would take. O: I can sum it up. It's over, Johnny. Playboy.com: But they'll at least get through the season and re-evaluate for next year.... A: I think they're re-evaluating on a weekly basis. Playboy.com: What's up with "He Hate Me"? O: We're still trying to figure out what that means. Supposedly, He Hate Me [Las Vegas Outlaws running back Rod Smart] is just not well-liked by his own team, and he was pointing to his teammates going, "He hate me, he hate me, he hate me." Playboy.com: Where will He Hate Me go when the league folds? O: The world always needs ditch diggers. Playboy.com: How did life change due to the TV gig? O: We get recognized every day. People that say it's such a drag to be famous, that's ridiculous. It's cool as hell. Playboy.com: Groupies? A: We have more than groupies -- we have freaks of nature. There are a couple of girls we call the Retarded Laverne and Shirley. There's Stalker Patty, who's obsessed with Opie. O: We decided, instead of Stalker Patty hanging outside the building every day, we'd invite her into the studio and see what she's all about. Playboy.com: Is she attractive? A: She's hideous. O: She's a 45-year-old virgin. Says she's waiting for the right guy. A: That's Ope. Playboy.com: How did you guys first meet? A: Opie was on WBAB in Long Island. When the whole O.J. thing went down, he asked the audience for song parodies. I had a band called Rotgut, and we sent a song in called They're Gonna Electric-Shock O.J. to the tune of Sitting on the Dock of the Bay. Opie had Rotgut come in and play it live, and we just clicked. He invited me back a few times and sent out some tapes of us. We got a call from WAAF in Boston, and we took it.... O: [Leafing through the February issue of Playboy]: Look at this! The Centerfold [Lauren Michelle Hill] has small boobs! I've never seen this before in Playboy. I mean, it's cool, she's hot. I'm just surprised. Look at that! They're tiny! A: Nice ass. Playboy.com: What are some of your better stunts? O: We have this bit called "Assault on the Media," where listeners try to wreck live shots with signs. One guy got the c-word on NBC news. A: The reporter was going live, and he snuck up behind her with a big "CUNT" sign. There it was: "CUNT," on network television. We also offered $1000 to any girl who gets her boobs on The Today Show. It took almost two years, but finally someone did it. The camera was panning the crowd before it went to Katie and Matt, and whoop! Her shirt went up. O: The Today Show now works with a delay. Because of us. A: We had to go to the ATM and pay this girl off. Never got reimbursed, either. O: Then there was Voyeurbus, a bus with big windows filled with topless girls. We decided to take it a step higher and put 18 and 19-year-olds on board, calling it "Nude Teen Voyeurbus." A: We noticed that if you put the word "teen" in front of anything, it makes it better. O: The bus was going down Broadway, then stopping at City Hall where the girls would take showers in front of Mayor Giuliani. Out of nowhere, all hell broke loose. Thirteen people got arrested. A: We later found out the Presidential motorcade was in the area. You think Clinton would've cared if a busload of nude teenswas driving around?

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | Forget "Swank"... everyone knows the boys would much rather be in "Barely Legal"... "Barely Legal": the only expression where having "TEEN" follow it is better than preceding it Are you pondering what I'm pondering? | ||||
