the background of him standing in front of an empty audience is surprisingly apt. if he were a clever man i'd say it was a great joke

The O&A subreddit is starting motions of trying to force Jimmy to take a side. I don't know how well that's going to go since he's locked in a contract for what, another year or two?

And Anthony seems very content with Jimmy being neutral, so if anything it would have to be Opie cutting him off in a tantrum.

The fact that Opie refused to come in to work for three days after Ant tweeted about how he couldn't get served at F.H. Riley's probably stuck out to me more than anything.

i actually remember the show Ant brought up specifically where it was like 30 minutes of nonstop jokes and it all came screeching to a halt when Bobby made fun of precious boy's shirt. it was uncomfortable enough just to listen to, i can't imagine being subjected to that day in day out

Since Anthony was fired their theories evolved from his black wife making Burr cut off all contact to kind of shutting up when Anthony admitted that Burr called him after his firing but didn't get back to him.

Cumia fans are a special bunch.

I don't like Opie or Anthony or Fez in this whole thing. Fez had a proxy war with Opie via Sam for years and had one foot out the door before he finally said a thing directly about Opie. If there was ever a time to call Fez his favorite word, that's a winner right there.

Are you serious? Fez blew up three shows with two sentences. That's masterful sniper work.

agreed ->
Fez also got under Opie's skin when he got hypnotized into Opie. Yet Fez has no resentment towards Anthony, even when he used the word human being a week or two ago on Legion of Skanks while they were discussing Fez.

The brief drama between R&F, LoS and Anthony is compiled here, and is a pretty good listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wH-ae7pNmE

That's what I'm getting from all of this. Opie is just a self-centered cock that loved to wave his little bit of power over everyone else and risk their livilhoods. It's all "ME ME ME" poo poo-- kinda like his stories about his mom being so selfish.

The FH Riley's thing was never brought up until today. Just try to remember a time when it was Ant and Jim for 3 days in a row.

Opie and Jim are live today. I have no clue how they'll handle this. If Opie doesn't bring it up people will call in until he does.

It will definitely be interesting to see how Opie handles it (if he doesn't ignore it completely). I thought Ant was quite fair in his criticism, and didn't come across as particularly hateful or mean. Obviously he was putting his own spin on things, but all in all it seemed to be a measured, reasonable presentation of his frustrations. I cannot imagine the Opster having the social skills / mental capacity / self-awareness to deliver anything but a spiteful whine in reply. (He'll probably also so "PERIOD" a lot.)

Yes, i'm sure Jimmy really gives a poo poo about a loving subreddit.

This is all a storm in a teacup. The O&J show will grind along with roughly the same amount of listeners and Ant's show will continue to struggle with it's tiny audience of racist conservatives. This "truth-bomb" on Opie is a fairly desperate attempt for him to get new subscribers. They were never going to do radio together again so either of them burning the bridge doesn't matter.

This is the first time since Ant's firing that I'm actually looking forward to listening to the O&J show.

Apart from that first week back, the only other show I actually sought out was the nopie show with Jim, Vos and Sherrod.

(Today will be a poo poo show and the whole incident will be glossed over in the first 5 minutes).

If they try to gloss over it, I can't see how they'll be able to do a show with no phones as the Cumia fans lie their way through the screeners. I guess I'm just getting flashbacks of the Shannon Burke and Jim Philips attacks, which btw, are a decade old now.

Expect hour long calls from Snowy in Michigan and that awful boring redneck dude they've milked the poo poo out of in recent weeks.

Either that or the show is going to be filled with Fat Bobby, Vos & whoever else they can drag in - all of which are too scared to actually bring anything like this up. Well Vos might, but then immediately get really self-conscious and stop.
