That already happened once with Travis getting the nod over him. It was a whole thing about how Erock didn't take enough responsibility to justify a promotion. And let's be honest as much as he is a sweetie and has provided hours of great on air material Erock is a lazy boy. One thing you can say for Sam is he works hard with interviews and getting his own show together etc.
Don't know why I'm analyzing this like it's the fucking JFK assassination. Fucking asshole I am.
No it's true. Erock has (or had) a habit of coming in late and sneaking into work.
Sam always put in the time and effort, even when he was getting paid shit.
Anthony has been referencing E-Rock a few times in the last couple of shows. Perhaps he is just gonna hop on over to the compound and be around some funny/entertaining programming.
I thought the same thing, hardly a mention of Erock and then suddenly he's on the tip of Ant's tongue every time a big fat hoofed animal is mentioned. Perhaps they've been in talks recently. He'd certainly be an asset to TACS, although Rat is growing on me and I get the impression he's better at the technical side of things, new generation of tech nerds and all. It'd be a (pleasant) surprise though, I always thought that Nagel kid was Opie's boy.
Oh god, can you imagine the beating he'd take on the phones? That's a show. Maybe he wants Erock as a second board op, someone to play the right background audio at the right time. Rat's obviously good but he doesn't know his Caddyshack from his Porkies.
If I am not mistaken E-Rock is also already pretty well-off as far as money goes so he could take a cut in pay and see how far TACS can go. In the end, it may result in getting more money than he got at Sirius.
On TACS yesterday i remember them jokingly mentioning that they have a phone screener guy in studio but didnt mention his name. That plus all the erock references....
Rat showed he's earning his place when he and Ant did the TACS logo bit where it chased Ant around the screen. That made me laugh and think Rat was a good hire.
Id love to see erock get hired by TACS, but do you really think ant is gonna pay him anywhere near what sirius did? I thought i remember he made some crazy amount of money(a lot more than the other staff.)
What I remember is that he had a crazy amount of money. His parents were rich and he won a bunch of money because of a scratch off lotto ticket or something.
I know that, but i swear heard other staff was resentful because erock made a lot more money than any of the other staff when he does less/the same amount of work as others. I think it had something to do him being on an early XM pay scale or something.
if erock goes then its the last straw for me, that staff is so shitty and boring and brings nothing to the table, you cant take out erock, the only person on the staff with a personality.
Looks like Opie cleaned house of almost all staff for the new show. Either that or all of the staff saw the writing on the wall and fled the sinking ship.
It seems possible, if not likely, that Opie bought himself some time by blaming everyone around him for why the show has gone downhill since Anthony's dismissal. That will only work once.
The possibility exists that O & J were offered renewals with the agreement that because the show had turned to shite after the Anthony firing, SXM will be taking a more active role in the show including placing their own team in place of the existing staff.
Maybe with the supposed 30% raise Norton was speaking about meant less chances of a raise for the staff so they in turn split. Either way as an O&A fan it's sad to see the wheels fall off everything; as much as i didnt like select members of the staff (Sam, Roland) I always liked hearing the nonsense with Erock and Travis was one of my fav's.
Opie wanted Erock to give him the tapes so he could pick through for this weeks Opie's Tcelldepleted pew pew. Erock said he couldn't give him the tapes because SXM has now implemented a cost saving measure of recording over day old Opie Radio tapes and that it was a YP not a MP. Opie pitched a fit about the magic on those tapes and here we are.

Classic vague Erock
37 adolfin99 2014-09-26
Surely he is not referencing his diet or work ethic.
22 Gronez_Bambaataa 2014-09-26
Maybe his time-travel opus got green lit?

Sliders?
2 Irony_Dan 2014-09-26
No, Quantum Leap.
13 Moxson4 2014-09-26
Not that it would ever happen. But the would be great if Erock was drafted into the TACS family!!
9 no1raniuk 2014-09-26
I'm categorically not having it. Erock is indispensable.
8 PrinceCharmin 2014-09-26
The only way I could see Erock fired or quitting is if Sam were promoted over him.

Say what you want about Sam, but the dude has a work ethic.
15 Sudley 2014-09-26
This is proof that he isn't racially mixed.
1 LizardKingRumsfeld 2014-09-26
So it's your theory that Sam 'It's Like A Ponytail' Roberts is 100% white?
8 balderoonus 2014-09-26
Is there a Scott Shannon/ Sex Bagel tie up in the works?
4 chippersonlyle 2014-09-26
Would be a huge step up for Erock. Scott Shannon is way more entertaining and talented than Opie.

I'm thinking the same thing. NAGEL! NOOGIE!

Rat is good. I like him. That doesn't mean that E-rock can't be the new phone screener though!

Are you not aware of the Nagel family fortune? Their coffers ruin deep with loot and first edition child's toys.

Yes Ant was very secretive about the guest/ phone screen applicant! Tension mounts....

He would be good for the show but that's a long drive from Jersey.

He's going ahead with the surgery. Always had a nagging feeling he was trans
5 Humble_is_great 2014-09-26
More than likely most of the staff saw the writing on the wall and started applying to other places.
Let's face it, the opester is probably pushing hard for a new format of sorts behind the scenes which probably aided the decisions to leave

Woah! I haven't listened since the Anthony issue because all the sites I used, stopped subscribing in protest.
What happened now??

So Erock and Sal=Meatballs then?

Was this discussed on the show today? Where are you guys getting this information?

I don't think Nagel is really gone. It would really bum me out.
1 LizardKingRumsfeld 2014-09-26
Bummed out is our natural state, now, after the bad times began.

Opie wanted Erock to give him the tapes so he could pick through for this weeks Opie's Tcelldepleted pew pew. Erock said he couldn't give him the tapes because SXM has now implemented a cost saving measure of recording over day old Opie Radio tapes and that it was a YP not a MP. Opie pitched a fit about the magic on those tapes and here we are.
