r/opieandanthony: So they're willing to give Lady Di $200 cash as a goof, but they're powerless to keep ESD on for $150 a week?

I love the Lady Di/Col stuff, today was very funny, but what the fuck? I thought they didn't control the hiring policies on their channel?

So if it's for a joke internship to make Colin laugh, they have the cash, but not for someone who both deserves and needs the cash for real, and has gone above and beyond for the company for years and never got his due? It's not as if it's charity for ESD, he's one of the funniest men on the platform.

Fuck you, Opie.

Edit: Wow, OIDF out in full force today.

ESD was providing content for Sirius XM, not O&A. It's not O&A or J's responsibility to fork out cash from their own pockets to give XM free programming.

You are all retarded.

Exactly.

Everyone knows it's not their responsibility. But this proves they're not powerless like they said they were.

1 Biff_Bifferson 2014-03-13

Well apparently they were powerless to make XM pay ESD's salary, no one said that as multi-millionaires they were powerless to hand out money to their friends in order to provide free content for a company that won't pay him to do radio.

I bet if a family member won the lottery you would be all over them for handouts because they can afford it, right?

It's not a handout in ESD's case, it's a value for value exchange. ESD is worth FAR more than $150 a week. Lady Di's case is closer to a handout.

ESD might be worth far more than $150 a week to XM, but not to O&A - they aren't making money off his show, so why the fuck should they pay his salary?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

what is market value, alex?

Tossing a few hundred bucks to that slob has nothing to do with Sirius/XM paying or not paying Dave.

The boss does not see Dave's show as anything that could possibly generate revenue from advertising. That is all they care about.

People seem to forget that $150 went to ESD only. What about paying the other sirius employees to work behind the scenes on the show? Paying for the studio to be open. His show wasnt a simple pop in an old podcast like burr was

They have control over their show, not channel.
