I know you've addressed it on air and Rogan, but since this is ground zero, can you explain your opinion and the perspective/backstory of the Homeless Cake Stomp that Reddit united to hate Opie for last week?

I saw a lot of people trying to get you guys fired for that, did you catch flack from Sirius or are you guys pretty much untouchable these days?

If anyone can turn the anti-O&A Reddit storm around it's you.

Saw Doug Stanhope last night in Toronto and there are some really obnoxious things going on with stand-up audiences these days that are really fucking up a comic's ability to put on a show. Yelling shit out, filming the show, throwing off the timing. To a certain degree Doug brings it on himself by booking essentially rock and roll venues with no chairs and his fans are animals by nature... but what are your thoughts on this new wave of comedy audiences and how they seem to not understand that stand-up doesn't work when you're yelling shit and disrupting the show or filming every second a guy is on stage when he's maybe still working on material. Throw in the PC witch hunt, and people getting sued for $25K and I fear for the future of comedy, as it seems to be getting worse not better.
