I dont know who that guy is and i read this and said ugh why do we care that some bobo like guy is tweeting up a storm then i clicked on his page saw he has 44k followers and realized he is just a very sad man...
Levy explained it on Ant's LFTC during that big Halloween Party. He was a writer/on-air talent for one of Stern's shows on his two channels. Something happened and Levy felt that Stern was ignoring him or something and he made a joke about killing Stern's wife to get his attention. Without further warning or discussion, Levy was fired and banned from the building.
Because many here would actually believe that, I will state the (hopefully) obvious that it was an exaggeration.
Anthony sarcastically responded to it and just also added that he was punching secretaries.
I am still scared though. I hope the show doesn't get fucked up.
This is not an accurate statement. O&A are NOT as big as you think. Smith and Carolla are exponentially "bigger" than O&A. Adam Carolla was the cohost of a successful Comedy Central show for FIVE years. Smith makes movies and has a show on AMC with commercials during Walking Dead. Are you high, stupid or both.
I wish they'd realize they could have way more subscribers . A lot of us who listen every day by whatever means don't Listen to the podcast because it's all stuff we heard
they have said over and over the point of the podcast is for the people that have NEVER heard the show, or people that can't listen to the main show for some reason.
Right but then they said they were looking at numbers to see if it's soemthibf they would do for real(I know who knows of that's true). I'm saying if let's say for 1 month the podcast was ONLY way to hear them there would be way more downloads
Good point - it'd be terrible if they had to play second banana to Stern/miss out on replays, when they're clearly doing the better show at this point.
anthony has stated in the past that his contract specifies 6-10 so I dont think they could force the change to afternoon drive without the boys consent.
"we'll give you $X to toss your existing contract and sign this new one. If you don't want it, we're not renewing you in October and you can go have fun with your podcast."
i doubt they would offer any sizable compensation considering they are making 3-5 mil a yr each and siriusxm wont even let them go on a cruise without paying 350k.........
I believe they're looking at an afternoon drive, in a smaller studio, on RawDog, and losing their channel as of Jan 1st.
...and likely taking a further pay-cut.
The studio going down was probably perfect timing, so O&A could consult their agents and attorneys.

You people are idiots if you think they will be on Sterns channel. It's the most retarded theory that floats around this subreddit.

If Ant is as mad as Opie's tweets suggest, I would put money on a Worst Of or Opie does the show alone. Ant stays home, pissy.

Holy shit is that cringe inducing. He sounds like a message board pest trying to earn a spot on the show. How embarrassing.

It wouldn't surprise me if they end up moving to afternoons on Raw Dog, after Ron & Fez.

Agreed.
"Thus, then" destroying the O&A Channel.
I wouldn't be surprised if they also make all of O&A's content from here on out fall under the Stern/Howard TV brand (including Opie's Eye)

Yep, as in the O&A show.

Let's see how many times Opie mentions their "podcast" tomorrow.
7 ISignedUpToReplyToU 2013-12-10
I don't understand Opie's obsession with podcasting. Nobody in podcasting is making the money they are making on XM.
2 nochinzilch 2013-12-10
To be fair, nobody as big as O&A has tried podcasting. Corolla might have been as big, and I'm pretty sure he does alright.
2 OpiesTits 2013-12-10

1 miamiron 2013-12-10
well they probably figure all the already paying customers will immediately transfer to a free podcast service if they ever man up and dump SiriusXM.
They are too BETA to tell managers that they quit so it'll never happen.
7 adamtouchet 2013-12-10
More tossing the ball around: Jason Ellis has tweeted he will not be joining the O&A Channel.

Hopefully the channel can get someone "extreme" who's not about to celebrate his 50th birthday.

I don't think Howard would want them to do shows on days when he's not there.

That would be the ultimate FU. "You can do live morning shows when Howard isn't. BTW you will still do them from your little shitty studio."

He did say he wished it was "only" that... it could be afternoon drive on top of something else.
