The only reason the show ended is because of Anthony. Also, Anthony is still bitter over the fact that Opie didn't stood up against Sirius after his firing. I still don't know why Anthony thinks Opie should've stood up for him, while Opie knew both him and Jim were mocking him behind his back.

I think Ant might be bitter also that Opie didn't reunite with him at compound media and refused to do his own show on his network

He'd be leaving guaranteed money for a guy that was already sick of him.

And to be fair, it seems that feeling was mutual on Mr. Hughes part.

Let's be real here, and I think even @BenDovid would reluctantly agree: if Ant never goes full retard on Twitter, the show still ends before 2020, and probably as meekly as Opie and Jim/Jim and Sam did. Not even an implosion, just a weak contract offer that makes everyone walk...

Except that mongoloid Sam.

Opie is too insecure to put a sincere effort into a full-on show that could be compared to real podcasts or radio shows. He knows he doesn’t have the juice or the energy he had in the 90s.

This could be seen in almost every interview and even on that David Letterman appearance. Opie isn't the funnyman, he's not an interviewer, he's not terribly interesting, and his only grasp of anything pop culture is Housewife reality shows. So who wants to see or listen to a boring old dad who lost touch with the normies a quarter of a century ago. It would be like if your Aunt had a podcast. Opie is somebody's Aunt.

Anthony left early? When was that. I do recall however, Opie bailing on the show numerous times.



It's called willful ignorance. He just ignores all the stuff he doesn't like because he has fond memories of eating a hotdog with Anthony that one party 15 years ago.



Bro what? Everybody on this forum can't fucking wait to call me liar. About what? No idea, as I have no motivation to lie about anything. So when somebody says "IF true", I'm going to throw it back at you. You know what's actually bizarre? The fact that this forum exists and that people wake up in the 6AM hour to talk about me for some reason. How shitty are your lives that you're STILL clinging to O&A scraps for happiness. I stopped working there in 2012. It's 2025. I've spent more time NOT working there than working there now and you still have shit to talk. Kind of amazing, in a terrifying way.



Sorry bud, I don't have decades of Opie quotes and Tweets just chilling in the forefront of my mind. It's quite a feat to literally remember every throwaway ass thing people say or do. Is it easy? Do you have to study? Is it just legit autism?



What else is new. You guys do it too.



Early XM there was Ben/Steve/Erik. Steve was doing prod all day in the back. Not prod as in producing the show, prod as in sweepers and promos. Basic imaging. So he was non-existent. Erik was only Opie's monkey boy. Erik did not provide prep, content, news, anything. Just serve Opie hand and foot. So realistically, Than, Derek, Travis and I were desperately needed. Derek took on the live air board which would throw XM to DC commercials. Opie ran the in-studio mix. Anthony never ran any board. He had his instant replay sound machine, and that was it. The only time Erock ran a board was at CBS where he threw to commercial. He fucked that up though and I took over at CBS until the final show.

I've run though this numerous times. Those guys didn't do shit. Opie would read USA today and take a shit. Anthony showed up at 5:45. All of them couldn't get out of there fast enough. No prep meetings. No guidance. No creative meetings. They showed up, talked on the air and left. That's all they did that I witnessed.



Well, even with girlfriends on his lap, the man could fire out a witty comment and have the place rolling. Or do an impression. Or just you know...be generally funny. Opie didn't stay late for meeting either. Opie didn't even stay late for Kirk Hammett. This Opie larp is so fucking old and dumb. How old is the "we pretend to like Opie" bit now, 10? 12?



It was frustrating to have the least funny, least interesting, most annoying host fail to contribute time and time again, only to act like King Shit on and off the air. The ego of this man was legendary, and he deserved every last bit of shit talk he got. The guy was very lucky to be there. Like others have said, he was good and steering the ship. But that's it.



I'm thinking they're gonna find out real soon. I don't see The Sam Show justifying multiple large paychecks. Don't forget, Travis has been there for 20 years now. He's easily maxed out on salary years ago, but he's making as much as he ever will there. The show simply just doesn't generate the cash needed to operate. There's no way on Earth.


To be fair, everyone on staff loved Nopie days. The vibe was so much more comfortable. The whole Greggshells thing is 100% real. That's how it felt working with him. It fucked sucked and he made everyone's life miserable with his asshole ego.

Hang on a sec. Lemme deconstruct this one.

"I'm bitter that I was treated like a shitty employee."

Hmm.. Intern...hired as Associate Producer...promoted to Producer, Promoted to Senior Producer...

I'm sorry bro, I'm not following you on this one. How exactly was I treated like a "shitty alcoholic employee"? You sound like you're new to this universe. I'm really tired of people who were in fucking grade school while I was waking up at 3:30am every day telling me how shit was. Fuck you, find some pop culture that's, y'know..POPULAR. A solid percentage of this forum is completely divorced from reality and somehow proud of it and can't wait to show it off.
