Bill's Dead

Bill's Dead is a classic Opie and Anthony bit where an old woman called the show by mistake and asked for someone named Bill. Opie goofed on her by saying Bill was killed in a car accident. Anthony does a great impression of the woman by imitating many of her lines from the call during other bits. Examples:

  • "Pat."
  • "You're kiddin'!"
  • "Who is is this?"
  • "How did it happen?"
  • "I was just talking to him."
  • "Aw, no."
  • "Where?"

Years later, O&A recreated the phone call in Spanish in response to Mayor Bloomberg's recording campaign commercials in Spanish to appeal to Spanish-speaking voters.
