Yeah, Anthony pretty openly hated him since his first time on, Sam and Dave took shots at him all the time. Ellis ended up not being invited back on anymore after his 4th time or so.

He asked to go on the show when he went to New York some time ago and was denied, and later heard that either Sam or Roland were talking poo poo about him.

I'm sure a lot of it stems from the fact that Ellis was always openly riding Stern's coattails (or trying to, anyway) while O&A put his replays on their channel when he was still relatively new to the game. He used to have a bit of a rapport with Opie and would trade messages about potential bits to do on the show whenever he would head to New York, but I think the final nail was when he went on Stern first during a visit. But that's just what Ellis relayed to the audience, so who knows what the actual driving force behind him being denied a guest spot.

Rich White Men think gentrification is great, and people who complain about gentrification are phonies. Also, Spike Lee's movies aren't oscar worthy, and there's no such thing as racism in hollywood. Skip, skip, skip, skip.

Unless you're Ron and gentrification is the result of stupid hipster parents not teaching their kids to fear And 12 Years A Slave is so stupid because the guy traveled to DC and of course people love it because they have to.

From what I've heard from Ellis (which is little I admit), he seems like a douchey Exxxtreme Mtn Dew skateboard dude and has no real footing to claim radio supremacy when it comes to anyone other than Terry Clifford.

I don't get what the big deal is. He's allowed to think he has the best radio show in the whatever. Edit: That said, there's no doubt in my mind that Opie will trample over the other people in the studio to constantly repeat how wrong he thinks Ellis is.

Both Opie and Anthony were irritated about Ellis and Jimmy also said some good stuff. They were reasonable about the whole thing and I enjoyed listening to it.

I actually agree with the boys. Ellis didn't just say he has the best radio show, he also said he's bigger than Opie and Anthony, "they're done", and that they're on their way out.

Doesn't he ave sort of a point? Lets say Opie and Anthony entered the market today, would they even compete? I feel like their fandom now is loyalty. Sure they made friends who will drop by and make the laughs but those three sifted towards politics, race and family. At least that's what the gist of the thread is. Also laughing at retarded people and freaks has made a come back with some of you really enjoy. I fully admit that with the Ron and Fez show, that loyalty keeps me listening 3/5 days a week at least. But I wonder with both shows, how many new listeners are being captured. I got into Ron and Fez because there was so much dead air tension and weirdness I had to keep listening. If I stumbled across opie and anthony and heard day after day free speech, black people are animals with callers laying down facts but being turned down, I'd say gently caress this show

Let me first say that it doesn't matter if he has a point or not he should show some respect for guys that did nothing but try to help out his career, he's being a scumbag. Now to your point, it doesn't matter. If they have a giant fanbase because they're fans are loyal... they still have a giant fanbase.

Also laughing at retarded people and freaks has made a come back with some of you really enjoy. I honestly think that both shows have stagnated thanks to Sirius. They're stuck in that skyscraper with an audience of dumb truckers and a small group of preapproved guests to interact with. Both shows could probably still go if they made it back to FM. Put O&A on the ground with some better callers, open door policy and live local events and most of the politics/race/family stuff would be gone.
