Dr. Steve just called my store about his iPad not charging properly. I knew he was from the area, but I didn't realize it was him until I was already hanging up the phone. He introduced himself after I said my normal "thank you for calling..." speech, and that voice is hard to mistake, but he didn't say "Doctor" before his name so it took me a minute to put it together.

Did you offer to change his iPad fluid

I told him to bring it in so we could run diagnostics, and he said he would have "her" bring it in, whoever she may be.

Opies show can be really good depending on the guest, and whether or not he's whining about something. Jim and Sam have been killing it, but I've thought a few times that Jim might have gotten fairly irritated at Sam for random reasons. Hopefully it's all in my head, because that and Bennington are the only reasons I keep my sub at this point, which I ditched for a long time up until J&S started because I could just get R&F/Bennington on Audible for like $30 a year.

Is he really blaming Jimmy for doing the radio show for money? Does he think comedy is just some sort of hobby for Jimmy?

I'm pretty sure I remember at the time when people were criticizing them for not quitting when Anthony got fired that they both said the main reason they stayed was because of the money. Opie is being pretty loving hypocritical (surprise surprise) by tweeting that stupid remark.

E: Hell, the only reason Opie stays around now is because of the money. As much as he likes to say that he has better prospects outside of satellite radio besides a podcast, he's pretty much fooling himself. At the very least, Ant will always have his alt-rightish fans to fall back on (not saying that all of his fans are that extreme, but that's obviously the core of his fan base). Who does Opie have in enough numbers to do the same (without partnering up with Anthony again)?

I'm genuinely curious. I'd think SiriusXM can actually get decent analytics now that there are probably at least as many people on smartphone apps as satellite radios. I'd kill to see those.

According to Dr Steve, they judge whether a show is popular or not by on demand stats. Since he's on random saturdays at 4AM, he begs people to check his show out on demand to let the company know there are people interested.
