How much money were Opie & Anthony making throughout their run?

[Mick_Mickerson]

Don't forget interns looking to work for the show were told straight up "most of your job will be going on coffee and food runs, so you have to be cool with that.."

Job descriptions are finalized and posted by Human Resources. You're saying the job description HR posted said the main responsibilities during the internship will be food orders?

 

[BonnieMcFarlaneMe2]

Yes. And they did. They edited audio, programmed content and learned how a talk-radio show functions in real time.

Once, dude was at the big boy tables. Max bet $10,000. One seat isn't enough, so he's playing two spots. $10K + $10K. Dealer is showing a three or some shit. He's got like 10/10, Q/Q. Splits both hands. $40K now. Stays on one, splits the other ends up with 19/20. $60,000 deep. Dealer makes 21. Spit on the floor, punch Keith, and put more chips on the table.

I called it a night, ordered like $300 worth of room service to his room, guilt free.


Yeah, the Butcha' Ed Brock. I felt bad for him. Derek was getting pulled away for production and couldn't spend 4/5 hours on the on-air board. Like yeah, Op was a board op, but just the mic mix and CD audio. The air board consolidated that feed along with any additional like Derek dropping music beds. Always worth to have somebody who knows movies/pop-culture at that spot with the confidence and timing to make plays. So, for all his behinds the scenes help, he'd choke or miss obvious cues at that position which led Jimmy to repeatedly complain about Butcha being on the board, and "where's Derek." This was the void that Ben created. Steve got sucked into Ben, Derek got sucked into Steve, and there was no more Derek. Butcha felt like he was getting a raw deal and he was kinda right. Back then Steve was making those kind of staffing decisions and just kinda furthers proves Steve's inability to properly manage. Butch ended up doing stuff for one of the hard rock stations. Liquid Metal I think?

Hahahaha never split 20’s. Just leave it alone.

No. I'm saying when you interviewed with me or Steve, that's what you were told. Stop acting like interns getting coffee is a new thing or some shit we made up to fuck with people. That was the business. For me, for Opie, for Creampie Jones. Ask Travis how many breakfast orders he got and why he ended up with more responsibilities. I'd do it again all unpaid. If you're an intern and all you ever do is food runs, that's on YOU. All you ever have to do is submit anything to anyone. Come up to me with a CD (..I know. Opie would only use CD's for audio.) with a tracklist and be like "Hey I saw this last night, it would be great for the show." And now suddenly, you're not the coffee getter. Now the segment goes well and it's like, who was responsible for that? Oh, the intern? And now you're noticed. Do it over and over again.

Hahahaha never split 20’s. Just leave it alone.

I'm not giving you 100% accuracy, I don't recall the actual cards. It was a combo of splits or maybe double downs but the total was $60,000 on one hand.

It’s funny because last year he was tweeting about betting $200 on football. Stupid wop sucked out all his bust cards if he split 20’s. Doubling down on ten though is at least understandable.

What the fuck does Keith care. He's getting paid 24/7 to hang out at a casino. Seriously though, I gotta hand it to Keith. The amount of cash he was able to grift out of him is goddamn impressive. At one point, Keith got pissed that Anthony was spending so much on random girls that he made him fork over dollar for dollar what he was shelling out on quim for his "kids college fund". His wife was making $60,000 a year for grocery shopping and laundry. Keith had P.A. duties, paid radio security gigs, job for the wife, hustle the boss here and there...dude did it right. 20 years NYPD with extra credit for volunteer FDNY, retire young with a fatass pension and hustle your alcoholic boss while you're at it. Opie this, Anthony that, you know who really came out on top? Keith.

Oh right, dealers don't give a shit what you do. They might get the pit boss if you're being a real asshole but then they look you up and see the spend.

I ultimately don't give a shit and, I agree, an intern should make the best of it and that's how you excel. I'm simply saying your team was not following the rules that were set out and that internship wasn't supposed to be getting coffee (if what @LingerLonger said was true)

When I worked on a construction crew during summers, the foreman would have me wash his truck on Fridays. No big deal. Now that i'm in an office job, if I had the low person on the totem pole do that I'd get fired.

You weren’t supposed to be washing his truck haha. You don’t find that insulting?

We shoved a whiffle ball bat into a girl's vagina. We had girls come in and we'd throw cherries at their spread assholes. We had a man puke like 4 gallons of eggnog into another mans mouth and face.

Should I have went to HR? Nothing in my employment contract said anything about Bobo leaking pre-cum into a paper cup, nor somebody blowing air into a girls asshole with a straw so she could fart on a cake. Producer wanted: Must excel at abusing potentially retarded/autistics. Anus & food combinations a must.

My boss wants to punch me in the face, I say sue, I take shit for a million years. Fucking interns get coffee. SUE!!! SUE!!! THEY SHOULD HAVE SUED!!!! lmao. Fuckin' dolt. OY!!! THAT'S UNPAID WORK!!!!

All media companies treat their interns like dogshit unless you have major connections through your parents or someone and can score an internship where you shadow the CEO of the company. Every other intern is the slave who gets coffee and baked potatoes. This happened in every media company in the US including Sirius and XM. But Sirius ended up having an intern get hit by a car, while she was getting Robin a food order, which escalated into a major class action lawsuit that they ultimately lost.

From that point on Sirius's illegal use of intern labor was changed. And they had to pay back all of the interns for using them for illegal labor. I think Intern Matt from O&A got something ridiculous like $10K for "pain and suffering" or whatever horseshit legal terms the lawyers used. You were never supposed to be getting food for anyone as an intern. The staff were supposed to hire someone to get them food or get it themselves.

For me, for Opie, for Creampie Jones. Ask Travis how many breakfast orders he got and why he ended up with more responsibilities. I'd do it again all unpaid. If you're an intern and all you ever do is food runs, that's on YOU.

You basically were nothing more than a glorified intern at Sirius and a 'screenshot taker' for Rockstar. Anthony's buttboy until he threw you to the curb. Interns should not be getting food for anyone at a professional multi-billion dollar company. Obviously you are an entitled jew crybaby who would use college kids to get your food orders and see nothing wrong with it.

No big deal. Now that i'm in an office job, if I had the low person on the totem pole do that I'd get fired.

Anyone who makes someone else work for free and takes advantage of teenagers for illegal labor is a pathetic faggot.

I wouldn't want to do it now, but I was 18 and it's not as bad as it sounds with a lot of those manual labor jobs. A large part of your duty is picking up trash and vacuming up wood splinters and shit

WWAWD not seeing the difference between a full-time paid producer and an intern trying to get college credit as
part of a formalized internship program?

Also, I never said they should sue. I just said you guys were not following the rules of the internship program.

 

[Voscabulary]

lmao "mansion parties" What is it you think went on there? Cuz it was mostly the two of us getting drunk in the basement. The wildest thing that ever happened there was Stetten getting fingerblasted by Andy Levy in the hottub. I think somebody took their tits out at that party. That was one of maybe two "parties" that took place. Everything else was family stuff, birthdays, typical get together type shit. Hanging out over there got boring really fast. There's only so much work bullshit you can talk, only so much Opie smashing you can stomach. He's a pretty boring guy. Never wanted to go out anywhere. Just wanted to drink wine and be on his phone. Occasionally he'd fly some chippy in from someplace, and I'd end up flirting with them while he sit on his phone refreshing Twitter. What a party.

I can't say for a fact, but I'd bet Jess was his first and only. He doesn't seem like the early bloomer type an they met in college.

so, the parties were dull and ant was boring, yet you were fuming whenever he started inviting people over you didn’t particularly enjoy the company of? then why did you make such a bloody fuss over it if you were apparently so over hanging with anthony at his digs? you are so fucking inconsistent, bruv

 

[lowend73]

I don’t think Anthony is too savvy with the Stock Market. Way to invest stupid

Hi. I did a lot of that as an unpaid intern.

No fuming, I just didn't wanna hang out with Big A and the "Apple Store Guy" and his friends all the time. It became constant show people and I wasn't really about it. Then one day Kurt Love is there with Bobo's sister and you're like, you know what? I don't think I need to be over here anymore. Who made a fuss out of what now? What are you talking about.

I’ve been the grunt before when I was 18 or 19. My boss would make us carry drywall for the one guy if we had nothing to do so he would stay in there good side. I was making “rate (scale)” though so fuck it.

 

[BenDovid]

I’ve been the grunt before

I'm still the grunt, but I used to be, too

 

[Mick_Mickerson]

Hi. I did a lot of that as an unpaid intern.

Did Sirius pay for everyone's breakfast every day? Or would you just give the interns AntH's card? The whole situation is funny to me for some reason because it was all so elaborate and unnecessary.

 

[BonnieMcFarlaneMe2]

I'm still the grunt, but I used to be, too

Since you just did a Mitch quote, was he actually supposed to fawkin come in the day after he died? Opie met him and he wanted to be on da fawkin show. Or was Opie was just full of shit and taking advantage of the dead? I don’t remember when he died, it might have been after your tenure.

But you deserved to be punched in the face, those interns didn't deserve to get coffee.
