Wasn't a bit part of the "greggshells" thing Ant did a year or so back that Opie had a tendency to gently caress over the show by pulling what he likely thought was some expert level negotiating tactics? It's funny that in the end it's what killed the show.
Yep, that was one thing Anthony made a big stink about and why none of us are really surprised. Though the depth of Opie's petulance is even more than I expected

Also, for those curious, here's the fight between Opie and Jimmy from December where Opie revealed himself as a dick (even moreso than before).

It's not just that he's a piece of poo poo. People overlook Anthony being a loving pedophile girl-beating racist piece of poo poo. It's that Opie SUCKS AT RADIO, TOO. He's an 80-IQ dolt who thinks he's the smartest man in the room, as well as being some sort of comic genius with his Harry Hater non-sense.

ant is at least self-aware and can laugh at himself, opie seems to have no concept at all of what a boring piece of poo poo he is

The problem with Opie is he co-hosted a comedy show where people riff on each other and is without a doubt one of the unfunniest people with the thinnest of skins. He's everything the enjoyable people on the show hate.

With Opie, the last straw for me was when he got legit upset with Bobo over the phone and Bobo's mom had to get on the phone and talk to him like a child.

Ant's a piece of poo poo but he can be funny, I can at least say that. I just won't support him or listen to him.

Looking forward to Jim & Sam.

Every episode of Jim & Sam has been... FUN thus far. It's incredible. It's worth listening to, even, which is kinda hard to imagine after years of boring-rear end TACS and boring-rear end Oqie Raqio.

Ant is human garbage, but I like him. I would gladly listen to him on SiriusXM, but I won't pay him directly.

I really hope Anthony actually sobered up or something, and we can all look back as a dark time in his life, and he goes back to just being a funny guy (and avoids talking about politics)

Does the iOS app get higher quality streams than whatever they push through their satellite bandwidth? Because I've been listening to Bennington since they launched it and I've never perceived a difference in quality with the stuff on the O&A channel. Haven't had an in car receiver though for many years.

That said I listen to my collection of mp3s (many at 128kbps) on Beats headphones (they were a present, goddamnit), and internet people tell me both of those things sound badly, too. Maybe my hearing just sucks.

Ant broke a girls ribs and is a quintessential new money italian shitbag, and Opie is an insecure spoiled child. If either of them dropped dead tonight it wouldn't effect me much, but I will always enjoy the old clips.

Yeah, the app gives much more bandwidth to every channel. The difference is massive between the radio and app.

Opie loving himself on his bullshit negotiation tactics is an amazing end for him. How could he not realize that he had no leverage anymore? I wonder if Sirius looked at Sam and Jim's ratings and realized there was no drop-off.

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
Reminder that in college, Opie played air keyboards in an "air band" called Air Force.

This has nothing to do with the topic at hand, I just felt it should be mentioned.

The way they'd always talk about it on O&A made it sound like it never worked and always ended up with Opie signing at the last possible moment. I don't think O&A, let alone Opie alone, ever had much pull at Sirius or XM once Eric Logan left.

I about died laughing yesterday with the Sam and Jim show and their half assed lovely car crash sound. It just feels good to have a general atmosphere of shooting the poo poo and everyone being able to laugh at bombs and jokes about themselves again. Sam's just a flat out better host than Opie (at least at this point in each of their careers) and Jimmy is lightning quick as always. They just need someone to replace Anthony's impressions (his biggest strength imo) and they'd be back to the golden days.

Oh and Patrice ONeals reanimated corpse. :smith:
