So Opie killed Steve C, right?
Steve C killed himself, casting O&A's abuse poorly in hindsight. Probably the reason they never brought it up on the show. It was implied a few times, and I swear Opie cried out something like, "why, Steve, why?!" once. I'm not searching through clips to look for it, I have no idea where to begin.

Steve C did a podcast a few months before he committed suicide. It's interesting to hear how bad the radio industry hosed him over.

Go to 2hr 12min

He seemed very depressed after losing his job with O&A. Then it was all down hill from there, Danny B. show cut in Philly., let go from Rock 107 SWB, gained back all the weight he lost, and his marriage fell apart (explains date of death)

Also, didn't Jimmy make a joke about 'Suicide Steve' that was cut? I'm probably misremembering. Either way, at least Opie and Jimmy went to the funeral of the man Opie murdered and talkd about it on the air. Honestly, I used to think that Ant was a coward, but I can see why he would balk on that. That's heavy poo poo and given the circumstances you don't really want to intrude on grief.

Well, gently caress this downer poo poo, here's Steve's 'Hole Bit Went Too Far.' It starts around 33:00, I tried to link direct but it wouldn't embed like that.

Oh, and what I meant is that Opie basically got Steve fired from O&A, leading to his death. Not that he outright murdered the poor guy.

Nah, it's probably me. Check out what I struck out in the above post.

And I was joking. We all know that Opie can't murder people. That would take effort he doesn't even bring to his radio show.

How'd he get him fired again? I remember at the time it was played off more like stunt brain "oh that's just how it goes, it's radio and people are shuffled constantly".

I just listened to that Hole clip posted earlier and holy poo poo was that funny.

Also do some of you post on O&A reddit because I was researching Steve's death and saw some reddit posts that were verbatim word for word what was posted here and now I"m not sure if you guys are even real :tinfoil:

Is this post real?

I'd guess those were mostly Ant on the replay.

Edit: Just to kick the limp-stingered hornet's nest that is this thread, I actually enjoy Vic Henley and think he meshes well with what Opie has turned the show into. So there.

I subscribe but I can't bring myself to post (it's routinely lurked by bloggers and mods looking for dirt, not without good reason). I do cut and paste certain posts or images from there, but you'll note I attribute those to them; figure this place would appreciate them (and I know most of you wouldn't waste your time there). If anyone cares, they're currently on an Amy Schumer kick because South Park essentially predicted her red carpet interview.

Yeah, the reddit is only good when they go after the show. The Schumer fixation is understandable (they do not like people who go back on their word at all), but all of the last two years really masked what was really good about the show. I think when I get some time I'll post more clips because poo poo like 'Steve C's Horrifying Hole Bit' and '8-Track Porn' and 'I'M PAUL R. NELSON' are loving awesome.

Edit: coffee isn't working today.

I'm still shocked his new show didn't immediately devolve into that. With the visual element he could easily just do MST3K or at least just spend time dissecting old shows which he loves doing so much. gently caress the racist bullshit, just do a Back to the Future riffcast every freaking day.
