The complete Opie & Anthony 2007 archive from XM Satellite Radio — every available episode, fully transcribed and timestamped. 2007 was the most eventful year of the XM era. The Don Imus controversy dominated April and the show had plenty to say about free speech and media hypocrisy. The Traveling Virus Comedy Tour rolled through the country. In May, a caller's comments triggered a 30-day suspension from XM — and the guys came back to one of the biggest audience responses of the run. October brought the grand opening of the new XM studio and the show's third anniversary on satellite radio. Through it all, the cast that defined the era was firing at full strength — Patrice O'Neal, Louis C.K., Jim Norton, Rich Vos, Bob Kelly, Colin Quinn, Bill Burr, and the full roster of regulars made 2007 one of the most memorable years of the archive.

The show opens with extensive coverage of the Don Imus scandal involving his controversial "nappy-headed hoes" comment about the Rutgers women's basketball team. Opie, Anthony, and Jimmy discuss the overblown media response, corporate pressure, and disproportionate calls for his firing. The hosts defend the comment as harmless humor while criticizing Al Sharpton and other black leaders for selective outrage. They play multiple clips of Imus's increasingly desperate apologies throughout the morning show. Caller segments feature Patrice O'Neal providing a measured perspective on the controversy, while other callers debate the double standard of what black performers can say versus white performers. The show also covers Frank Vincent from The Sopranos calling in to discuss the season premiere, criticism of the Rutgers team photo, and discussion of various other news items. Later in the show, an interesting studio audience segment features a lesbian couple with their two adopted sons visiting from Milwaukee, leading to discussion about gay parenting, DNA databases, and societal attitudes. 00:00:00 - Show opens with opening bits and warm-ups 00:02:00 - Don Imus "nappy-headed hoes" controversy begins 00:10:00 - Anthony's extended rant on Reverend Al Sharpton and race issues 00:20:00 - Don Imus apology clips and corporate pressure discussion 00:36:00 - Frank Vincent from The Sopranos calls in 00:43:00 - More Imus apology clips and analysis 01:02:00 - The Sopranos season premiere discussion continues 01:18:00 - Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera debate on Break.com 01:35:00 - Imus clips continue, Frank Vincent leaves 02:02:00 - Patrice O'Neal calls in with perspective on Imus situation 02:12:00 - Slave Girl bit from Friday replayed, Exploitation Friday concept introduced 02:30:00 - Patrick from The Topless band discusses upcoming live performance 02:46:00 - Slave Girl bit replayed in full with various caller reactions 03:00:00 - Caller James from Cleveland critiques the show and radio personalities 03:18:00 - Caller Davis from Toronto discusses Slave Girl bit at home 03:21:00 - CBS fired Jimmy the Greek reference and discussion 03:23:00 - Studio audience introduced, various guests present 03:26:00 - Lesbian couple with two adopted sons visit from Milwaukee 03:38:00 - Discussion of two-mommy household and gay parenting 03:57:00 - DNA database and government surveillance debate 04:00:00 - Line of the Day announcement and show wrap-up --- Never Off Air — Archiving the Opie & Anthony XM era (2004-2014).
