I haven't listened regularly in years but still checked out shows that people said were good or had actual funny guests on like Dan Soder or uh, I guess Vos. I'm going to miss those shows

An exchange from earlier this year (that I can't find on Youtube, so paraphrasing from memory): Jim: I used to go to winter camp as a kid. Ant: No you didn't, you're lying. Jim: I did! Ant: I wish it was Treblinka... Chip: Yeah, if I did I would miss it! Tss Tss...

Yeah chalk me up as one who would just stop listening when I knew an Obama, Zimmerman, or savages hour was about to happen, but Ant was quicker with his jabs than any of the comedians they had. That's what I'll miss the most.

Some of the best quotes from the Reddit thread:quote:Social leftism is a cancer. A thought-policing, domineering, ideologically fascist cancer. And it proves itself so every day. quote:this is loving bullshit. gently caress sirus, gently caress liberals and gently caress blacks. ive been listing since 2000 im so loving pissed quote:This is why I hate niggers. They cant handle hearing the truth about them being savages, so they cry racist whenever someone addresses the issue. Sub-human primates.

It was only a matter of time until this happened. I'm still shocked though. I hope the show can continue in some way, but I doubt Sirius is all that interested in re-signing them in October. Maybe it could happen. Opie always says he's ready to walk away but I don't know that I believe him. I think he enjoys doing radio too much and I don't know that he could get a legit podcast off the ground. Jimmy and Sam both do a ton of work for Sirius. I just don't know.

It's very easy to make a 'legit podcast', it's just that podcasts do not make money.

I'm sad that Ant was fired because he was definitely the funniest person on the show IMO...Guess I'll see what happens now because I also like Jim but not expecting much. I wish he would've just stuck to being funny instead of the boring rear end rants but whatever, just a silly radio show. I've never watched LFTC because I'm assuming he just does the ranting more when he has complete control of the content, I might give it a shot though. I'm just glad this happened before my Sirius trial was over so I didn't actually get caught in a contract when the only thing I listened to on it went away heh

I know I probably sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist here - but does anyone else thing ant did this on purpose to get fired and use whatever momentum it got in the press to launch a podcast? Anthony seems like he is completely cool with being fired After all, it's not like they haven't done this exact thing in the past

It's been 6 years since I last listened to O&A yet somehow it makes completely sense that this is how it ends as a duo. Ant's non-comedic views made for lousy radio then and it costs him his show now with outside media picking up on it. Hopefully Opie and Jim are OK and at least Ron and Fez made it out. I should note I stopped listening because I disagreed with the Sirius/XM merger, not the show at the time but I've moved on either way.

He's hoping Sirius will see people on his twitter cancelling subscriptions and then come crawling back to him.

This is an unfortunate turn of events. I feel bad for the show, but not really for Cumia. Although, perhaps fittingly, their assault on apology culture gets vindicated here--hell, Ant didn't even get to say an apology. Sirius dropped him FAST.

Opie's figuring out how he's going to tell Ant that he'll be sticking with the show. You're listening to Opie Radio with Greg Opie Hughes and Sam Roberts!
