Some post on Reddit claiming Ant will be on Scott Shannon's show on Friday. Any truth to this?

It was on the New York Radio Message Board too until Allan Sniffen deleted it.

And yes, I read the New York Radio Message Board, because it's the most unintentionally hilarious website on the planet.

Excellent. At this rate we are about two years away from Drafthouse getting hired.

Can you explain what this was? I've never heard of this and am curious.

Ant made a (supposedly joking) reference to not getting free drinks at FH Riley's. Opie responded by not coming into work for three days.

One of my favorite moments on the show was a few years ago when the Beatles catalogue was re-mastered and O&A starting trashing it, saying how stupid it was, then they started to listen to it, and instantly realized it sounded so much better and they all couldn't wait to buy it. I believe this also had edgy Opie declaring he hated early Beatles because it's "pop poo poo".

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:

The most amazing thing about that clip is that Fez went on the show the day after and claimed it was a victory for standing up to bullying, and not even realizing he just alienated every single person on the staff and at Sirius. This was probably the point where the writing was on the wall to everybody that he was pretty much gone.

That said, BL has her moments, but it's kinda obvious why Ron is letting go of all of these people while he works hard and does his own thing. Apparently talk radio people go nuts after they hit a certain point in their careers and flame out. Fez, John & Jeff, and that Todd Pettengill guy who probably now eats out of a garbage can after showing the world he can't run a radio show on his own after decades of being a second banana. gently caress, we could throw Bubba the Love Sponge on there as well since he's pretty much flamed out already.

What happened to John and Jeff? I loved that show as a sleep aid.

When I set in studio for Ron and Fez, Bobo was there. He'd been on O&A that morning and stuck around for R&F. He was sitting on the bleachers wearing his awful leather Jeff Gordon NASCAR jacket. During the first commercial, Ron comes out to the bleachers to chat with the fans. He asked, "Were any of you here for O&A this morning?". Bobo's hand shot up, and he enthusiastically yelled "I was here for O&A!". Ron looks at him and says, "Well with that jacket on, they'll let you in anywhere".

Later on, I found Bobo at a Mets-Yankees game at Citi Field. Bobo was on his phone, and declared he'd meet whoever he was talking to "in the parking lot". Citi Field seats 42,000 people and has over 8,000 parking spots. Good luck, dummy.

I watched The People Under the Stairs yesterday and it's kinda disturbing how Ant is legit two steps away from buying a gimp suit and sealing Bobo up in a crawlspace.

I'd watch that show.

And I liked Amy a lot on the show when I was listening, she kept up with Ant and Jim because she's just as much of a pig as they are. I also liked Trainwreck a hell of a lot.

I loved his Bobocabulary. My favorite was when he talked about Colin's show, Long Shory Stort.

And then there was the time they had him drop his pants to show his tiny weird dick and he was wearing a European banana hammock.

He was the dummy that kept on giving.

My favorite was always "Bobo go home and go to bed!"

What was going on when that was said? I remember Bobo was on the bus, on the way to do something, they were egging him on, then Jimmy realized they were about to get him killed and themselves fired and they put a stop to it. I just don't remember what Bobo was trying to do.

I heard people on the show talking about how Opie has the quality of being willing to be absolutely cruel and brutal for a prank, but it seems like he was always the first one to tap out on stuff like this.

Opie tapping out on cruel stuff started around the same time he started prefacing statements with "as a father".

I don't get the whole "it's not about Patrice" thing. It's a benefit for his family. Even if the lineup has changed from past years (and I'm sure it has, I haven't paid attention to it), it's still very much about him.

Ant is a mess.

I would like to put this out there in all seriousness. Amidst all of the negativity that has gone on over the past year or so I honestly have to say that I feel terrible about the whole thing with the people involved. This was a show that I listened to since the late 90s and the every show from 2004's XM days on. These guys felt like part of my family as I listened to all of their shows in my headphones at work. I felt like "part of the gang" and it got me through some real rough patches in my life with their humor. It was a 20 year career that exploded in everyone's faces and had such negative effects to everyone involved.

All the comics that relied on them for publicity are torn between the shows, employees lost jobs, friendships turned to enemies, the list goes on. Everyone's private lives and secrets went public, many of their own fault.
Jimmy is trapped and on unstable ground and looking to make sure he is employed which is is unsure since the on air fight that brought out all the crap between him and Opie.
I read all the comments here and Reddit and see what happened to Anthony, a former brilliant broadcaster who is tied with Jimmy for unbelievable quick timing that has had me in hysterics numerous times.
I may get crapped on for this but I'm just being honest. It was my favorite entertainment for over 10 years and to see it devolve into this. It is just heartbreaking.
