You're a dumb fuck if you think this will happen, Opie and Jimmy will be loyal to Ant, take it to the bank. If there's a show, which there will not be, it will be a tribute to our favorite Corsican pimp.
Because if Opie said "I'm going to do a tribute to Anthony on Monday!" the suits would stop it. If Opie and Jimmy lay low and say they will behave themselves, they can then go on air and say whatever they want. Their best strategy is to remain silent
They have used this tactic pretty much every time this goes down, and it proves their point every time- the suits are totally clueless as to what actually goes on.
Maybe, but if you've listened long enough you know they have each other's backs when push comes to shove. They are a team and they've been through far worse than this.
They've been talking about podcasting and doing things on their own for a while, so I'm not really worried about the show ending. Their new venture clearly won't be as lucrative but I don't think they really care about making max dollars anymore, they have millions in the bank.
The show and channel are done. They only had a few more months on the contract so Sirius will buy them out for the remainder. Based on Sabean's firing and the leaked live read rates my guess is that Liberty Media would not have resigned them in October anyway. Certainly not at their current salaries.

He'll 'bounce' back, unfortunately. He's got connections, enough at least to get another gig.

Wouldn't Opie have said something to that effect if this were true? Even Jimmy's tweet is very ambiguous about what will happen.

Yeah, man, they'll DEFINITELY breach their contracts to stand in solidarity with Ant. Take it to the bank.

I didn't realize that you're a lawyer and that you've read their contracts. My bad

Im really hoping they arent on a gag order for on air. Because that is pretty much all anyone will want to talk about.

It's not like they haven't found their way to circumvent gag orders in the past...
Hoo Hoo

"Go ahead caller you are on the air..."

They'll probably have a guest host in and talk about the Anthony situation,should be good,if they come in at all.

"As a father," I could really get used a show like that.

I don't see how bashing Opie helps anything.

Why not, brotherman?
And it's going to be called 'The Opie, Sam & Jim Comicular and Pop Culture Roundup'.

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. That's terrible, I'm sorry.

If they struggle to come up with topics without Anthony there maybe they could talk about How to chain your Dragon.
-1 LizardKingRumsfeld 2014-07-05
Too soon. Wait til we find out if we even have a show anymore before we get back to bashing every single thing Opie does or says.

Alright, I'll be waiting.
