If SiriusXM does go under, I hope the boys stay together, rather than do what they have been alluding to, separating and doing their own thing. Don't get me wrong, Opie's great with his vids, Live from the Compound is awesome, and of course lil Jimmy's got his stand up. But when the three of them come together its the perfect mix.
They could do exactly what Rogan does, with the video cams and everything. I think they would be the #1 podcast by far.
Come on...Really? I won't be a total asshole and start the same thread everyone is tired of, but what is so great about his videos? In the same light that boys would thrash someone who does tired shit like Opie does, why do we defend it here? I know this is the Opie and Anthony fan sub, but shit is shit and always will be shit.
Totally agree. The only ones that have been funny are the ones in the car with Kenny and Jimmy. The "lonely" series is lame. The elevator show is boring. Really, Metallica on an acoustic guitar with no one getting on or off the entire trip?
Hell, he even managed to make some dude standing on the Chrysler building a dull as shit video.
I do a lot of urban exploring, and know some rooftoppers in Russia that do similar stunts that Moses did (hanging off of buildings). That video was shit. It was crazy anticlimatic, and was terrible as far as camera work. I can understand Opie is a novice, and that the roof and wind might have been scary as shit, but it was still a terrible video.
The kenny in the car videos are great. Opie even refers to them as his 'stupid videos' I just think living in New York and having unlimited funds should result in a bit better set of videos.
yep. the execution of his videos are almost always horrendous. he has no sense of videography, it's just point, shoot, and he tells you that it's supposed to be funny/awesome.
Every "fan" of the show over the past 8 years: "Opie Sucks. Anthony's a drunk racist nazi." But the best is every creep with their homoerotic, bipolar feelings towards Norton. The show is awesome. Fuck the listeners.
Haha, I hear you. I am aware of my bias towards his videos. When you listen everyday you can't help but root for the guys, almost like that one friend we all have that's only funny because you know him. But once you step outside the circle, he just looks like an asshole.
That being said, I still think he's got some good ones. They aren't all gold, but they aren't total shit.
they would be gold if they got a visual podcast. opie could add to it with his videos too and if the other 2 gave that a shot im sure it would be better than the of them bitching about not having a bus tour or visual element every day.
I doubt Howard is going anywhere. He is way too lazy and unmotivated to start fresh anywhere else. The dude made hundreds of millions since he joined Sirius. I see him staying with Sirius and sadly getting worse and worse in front of his audience every passing year like Imus did. He's already way out of it and his show is a shell of it's former self.
I think it's contingent on Ant. Opie just started a family and obviously still needs to make more money, not to mention he desperately wants to be "famous". Assuming Jim doesn't get on a sitcom, he'll still need to work because it's great promotion for his stand up gigs (also I'm sure it's good money in and of itself). Does Ant have enough money to not do radio anymore? Seems likely. If that's the case, he'll have to have a passion to still do it, considering the fact that wherever they go next will either be very censored or very low money.
Actually, Opie's the one who probably has enough money to retire. Ant has a mansion, a swimming pool he keeps heated during colder months and a big gambling habit. He isn't going anywhere.
lol, ok. Haven't they been making 2 mil a year for a while now? I think they're good dude. They could have retired 5 years ago. You argument is pretty dumb considering Anthony could have raised 10 kids for the price of his movie theater alone, not to mention an underground propane tank, unmanned drone, need I go on?
The merger and the FCC fucked satellite radio hard. Both companies went stagnant for the better part of a year and during that time podcasts and smartphones were emerging and offering a lot of what satellite radio has to offer. The only real reason to keep satellite radio is for their original content which they CLEARLY don't give a fuck about. They should just cut ties with Howard, he's begrudgingly in a dozen or so days a month and hasn't given a fuck about radio for over a decade. He's doing his fans and the company a huge disservice.
Meanwhile they let O&A just rot on the vine. "I got it, I got it, I got it". Meanwhile they can't even get a wall moved, a visual element or a bus tour going. The company gives them few resources and anytime they try to do something interesting the lawyers quickly put an end to it.
They've talked about the first time he was in court against SXM. Lawffing an lawffing about how ridiculous it is that the company is putting up with his part-time shit and dealing with his court case.
A New York appeals court refused to overrule a judge's ruling that the radio host deserved additional stock compensation if Sirius exceeded certain subscriber target projection.
1) A judge originally ruled that the radio host deserved additional stock compensation
.... So he originally won.
2) A New York appeals court refused to overturn that judge.

I think part of the humor to Opie's vids is knowing that he is pining for VIRAL VIDEO! He tries so hard.

Ive lol'd many a time at opies videos, why you gotta hate?
If you gave opie a 30 minute show about him and his camera, it would be better than most other shit on tv.
3 frankdive 2013-04-11

ps, how often is live from the compound on?

He would just go Hollywood if he quit radio. You would see more reality judging gigs and cameo appearances in movies.

He's exactly the guy he made fun of 10 years ago. When I see him on AGT, I can't believe that's the guy I grew up idolizing, pretty sad.

1 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2013-04-11
Also Opie didn't get half of his stuff taken for 10 of his prime earning years.
1 Tony_Sunshine 2013-04-11
Why would Opie need more money? They both make the same amount...
0 Touch_Of_Red 2013-04-11
Because, like I said, he has a family. His money has to support four people, Ant's money only has to support one.

RIP SiriusXM.
With the rise of things like Spotify, Rdio, podcasts and wifi in cars, I don't see how they can stay relevant for much longer without Howard.

Quite frankly, this company deserves to fail.

Are the boys allowed to talk about this? Or is this in their "agreement" with Stern?

They never talk much about Stern anymore. I doubt they'd "talk" about it. Maybe just mention.
