Jim Norton fired by Siriusxm

The Pests predicted it. Callers used to talk about how Sam would end up weaseling his way into taking over the show. Both Sam and Norton were the two people who hosted shows before and after O&A were live. Sam had his 'Prep' show and the 'Shit Show' and Norton had his 'Advice Show'. Everyone knew that Sam was angling to be on microphone full time once O&A quit or were fired. And that Norton was as well. They showed the most initiative, and backstabbing, than anyone else when it came to getting their own air time. Both of them also hosted music shows on Sirius as well.

I would be shocked if he was getting $200K a year. He must think his podcasts can generate more.

It's definitely some type of laundering operation for sure. But none of them are employees. Sirius only hires independent contractors to do shows. Norton has literally never been an employee of Sirius. He's always been hired as an independent worker. Most of the Stern Show big names aren't Sirius employees either.

I think Eminem who has had his own channel since around 05/06 has only done two or three “specials” for Shade 45. I also believe he once called in. They’ve had a Springsteen channel for years and I think he’s pretty much done nothing except let them broadcast his old concerts.
It's definitely a sham corporation. I don't see how it's making any kind of profit

So he's turning down the easy check for a podcast no one gives a shit about well over a decade when he should have invested in podcasting. He also married a tranny during the height of identity politics and Hollywood wrapping their arms around that group specifically and no one noticed or cared. Jim's career would need a biblical resurrection to be respectfully classified as dead at this point.

I’m actually surprised he was willing to walk away from his gig that allowed him to meet celebrities. I thought he’d stay even if they offered minimum wage. The real question is how long will Sam last now? Sirius XM can’t possibly be interested in the “Sam & Travis Show”
He seems to be delusional about his market value and simultaneously completely checked out of putting any type of effort into anything, which is a really good combo. He'll be selling his New York condo by 2026 at this rate, what fucking income does he have now?

Surprised they remain friends after this to be honest. A true friend would've jumped over and helped his friends business flourish which the addition of Jim to Compound would've done, especially in 2016 when Compound still had some goodwill.

Instead Jim did a show with the old intern allowing his friend to lose presumably millions.
