I've never listened to the show, but it seems Anthony (of Opie & Anthony) has been fired:

Tim Sabean was working on their show until recently, too. I don't know if he quit or was fired.

Tim got fired JUST before this happened. There's been a lot of "wow Tim Sabean sure dodged a bullet eh?"

I wonder if Tim was "fired" from the Stern show and they moved him to O and A to allow him to save face.

I actually gave up on reading all those tweets. They go on forever. I like how in between all the racist poo poo, calling black people animals, savages, cockroaches, etc. he goes "I'm not being racist..."

I might have to listen to Stern for the first time in a while to witness the schadenfreude.

Howard probably isn't live on Monday.


Even though Anthony is a scumbag and an obsessive crybaby about his guns, I've actually managed to listen to O&A and laugh more than a handful of times in the last 5 years, which is more than what I could say about Howard. Really, my biggest concern is that we won't get to hear Jocktober 2014

Do you guys think Howard will resign after 2015? There's been so many people who have left, including Tim Sabean, Tracy, and the entire HowardTv department. With all this paring down, it's feeling more and more unlikely that it's going to continue.

Wow, it's very lucky that he didn't just shoot her and not say anything on twitter, he probably would have been declared a hero by most of his audience.

Given his frustrations with SiriusXM, Robin's battle with cancer, the recent discussions about starting at 7, and the whole idea that the birthday bash was the capstone of his career, I don't think Howard really wants to do a 4 hour radio show anymore. I think he'll either do a proper Howard Stern interview show like Larry King or quietly fade out into the sunset.

Your passive-aggressive drive by posts are weird. I'm amazed that there's a small section of O&A fans that continue to try to get back at Howard by posting hoo hoo on YouTube videos, especially given there's no group of people more critical of Howard than his own fans. I'm sure the legion of unemployed Howard fans do the same poo poo in response, I'm just surprised these ~*radio warz*~ happen at all in 2014.

Sorry, I may have misinterpreted your posts, it seemed like the same poo poo I see on Youtube comments. I've been reading the Howard Stern and O&A subreddits since Anthony's firing, and I'm amazed that there are lots of people who still seem to hold grudges against each show.

I've only tried a little bit, but the reasons I can't jump in to O&A is that there's no Sal, Richard, Gary, Fred, Robin, Ralph, JD, Eric (high-pitched or low-standing), or any of the rest of the wack pack.

Also, Anthony sounds like a genuinely horrible person. Howard complains and complains, and might be annoying to hang out with, but I feel like it would be worlds better than spending time with a racist, gun-obsessed rear end in a top hat.

Plus, I doubt they'd want to hear my favourite Matt Dillon story, real briefly.

Does Howard do a show anymore? I haven't had Sirius for a few years, but I read the thread to keep up with things. For months its been just YouTube clips of old bits and segments. Not criticizing the thread, just saying I really think it's over for the show.

It honestly hasn't even been worth discussing of late, in my opinion. Most of the show talk lately centered around the "Benji gets fingered" stuff which I thought was completely unfunny, uninteresting, and overwrought. Other than that there's a lot of "AGT" talk which Robin has certainly stepped up her enthusiasm for of late; I suspect she got a talking to after she criticized the show a few months back.

To be fair, AGT is a lot better than it was for Howard's first season. It actually is a good 'there's nothing else to watch during the summer' show.

The bargain section is for books that the store wants to recoup money from that people will actually buy. "I've had sex with cookies", or whatever the gently caress Lisa G's book is called would be a waste of real-estate, and would actually cost the store money to mark down and put in the bargain sections.

Has Lisa G not been on the show recently? I can't recall hearing her since they were doing auditions for the band.
