To make things even weirder, Opie posted on twitter that he's for universal healthcare. The Blaze and Breitbart didn't mention that part though.
Because they count on 99% of their readership to not do any research on his background or the context. Happens all the time.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

So the reason why they haven't moved to podcasting is because they just want that easy paycheck now?

Of course, they wouldn't make poo poo podcasting.

There was some tweet by Ant recently about yearning for the days of when America had a "real president". The president he was referring to was George W. Bush.

Most of the successful podcasts are comedians doing it as a fun/lucrative side-project. It seems half of the listeners are truckers (who love to ring up and declare they're truckers). They'd lose that base if they moved to podcasting. Also, it wouldn't make sense to throw caution to the wind when they're making as much as they are off Sirius.

Shut up DUMMY
They won't quit Sirius, they have no other real outlet. Podcasting is a joke overall and they make a gently caress load from Sirius. Sure they whine because they don't make as much as Howard, but they know that they are overpaid and do no real work.

They have fallback investments now anyway and could probably retire and live comfortably. But when your job is so easy and you make so much, you'd have a hard time giving it up.

I wonder if they're going to do this like normal radio did things like this: no mention for a week or so, then a sudden change and a complete denial of the previous status quo.

I am listening to O&A argue with callers about how to measure tides on the 3/25 show and cracking up. They got so immensely angry about people not understanding that they were talking about how far the tide goes in on a random beach instead of how deep the water gets. And of course Opie yells about how people in a regular argument don't talk over each other while he yammers on over every word they say and HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON

I wish they would just hang up on callers who blather over (or under) them when they try to respond.

Jimmy has the best response to that but Opie lets it go way too long.

Ron said he didn't know anything and hadn't heard from Fez at all. He said he knows everyone thinks he's running a work when he says that but he's telling the truth and has no clue where Fez is or what is happening.

So of course it's a work.

I hope it's a Joe Poo type of work where they got rid of him but they'll never ever acknowledge it on air.

Joe Poo's on vacation and Fez is in a meeting. Forever.

Right up until it becomes the Ron Bennington show. Which has a nice ring to it.
