Oh come on, he's right to bitch. That cupcakes gimmick is fucking stupid and I hope he just continues to make SXM look like the douchebags they are. That said, he's been complaining a lot less lately, so be happy about that.
I just feel for Ron. He's gone through dozens of these things with only a couple of bumps in the road over the years and he's trying to do one with his radio pals and they're being characteristically difficult about it.
he makes a valid point honestly. how can you span 20 years of radio in one hour and not have the ability to go over that because another show/standup is booked right afterwards? just another case of SXM mucking up the works again if you ask me.
There have been many Unmasked guests with longer and more illustrious careers than O&A. It's not meant to be an audio memoir, just an hour for Ron to pick their brains and see what makes them tick.
i get that, but i can understand where Opie is coming from. it appears he wants to make more of an event out of it, at least after the unmasked portion. seeing as how SXM has ruined their plans for things like animation festival or road trips, they can make it up to them by doing something that lasts more than an hour.
The thing that O&A don't seem to understand is that Unmasked isn't their event. It's just supposed to be an interview like Ron has done numerous times. Trying to turn this into an O&A gathering is a slap in the face of Ron.
If O&A want to put together a fan event, then they should plan one on their own.
All due respect to Ron, but if this isn't supposed to be viewed as an O&A event then why not just have it in-studio like every other Unmasked? Why the pomp and circumstance? Is it normal procedure for random celebrities to bring out cupcakes during an episode of Unmasked?
I'm sure Ron doesn't give a fuck about O&A's bitching. He knows that it's nothing against him.
We still don't know what they asked for. Does SiriusXM foot the bill? Do they get paid extra for the event? Does this replace an in-studio day?
There are lots of details that go into big events, and considering O&A aren't employees of SiriusXM there are probably a ton of issues that we don't know anything about.

They are legitimately getting fucked on this one. Everything about it is so half ass'ed.
And the cupcake bit is a 100% rip off of Jimmy Fallon.

To be fair, they've tried, and continue to get fucked by management on that.
1 WhoIsPurpleGoo 2014-04-01
True, but we also don't know what they asked for either.
1 GleepGlorpFloopdedoo 2014-04-01
Well, I mean the cruise, the animation festival, the bus tour, for example.

For one notable example, SiriusXM wanted O&A to foot the bill for the cruise, to the tune of $300k.
This really shouldn't be rocket science to SXM.

I agree. Whatever "issues" he's "worked out" lately.. I wish he'd regress to get back to the mindset of AAF and NEW.
