I've been listening to these guys since I was 15 and it's just sad to see it end like this.

I wonder what event lead her to that point and already upset before anthony even took a picture

Her father never told her that nothing good happens after midnight. Because-- you know...

It bums me out on the one hand, on the other I feel like this is both of them purging years of pent up feelings and maybe it will help clear the air. Like not even kidding, they need to fight. Just have a one round boxing match, or all out dust up for like one minute. I bet you they'd be 90% better after.
I think they'll work it out eventually, it's just part of the process. They really didn't even slam each other that hard, I mean "human garbage" is rough but it's not like a mortal wound. I just hope Opie can find some kind of self-introspection and get his own head out of his own ass.
I think there's hope, I mean look how far Maron has come. He used to be just a completely unconscionable, unreasonable dick bag. And over the years he's gotten quite a handle on himself. I'd like to see that happen for Greg.
8 BenjaminRCaineIII 2015-04-07
Opie is sitting on Radio Gold right now but is afraid or unwilling to go through with it because it's about him now.
5 TijnTijn 2015-04-07
Maron has a lot of actual tallent though.
1 xxmikekxx 2015-04-07
Yea Maron is a stand-up. I was a fan of his in the 90s. He did Conan all the time
1 TijnTijn 2015-04-07
I love his stand up. His last special sucks though. Just like Burr he lost his edge and with it part of his funny.
1 Hhhhhhhhhhhhhjj 2015-04-07
Yes, actually hispanic louie ck is hilarioussss
23 hippoontoast 2015-04-07
i wonder what the future holds for anthony. his show on his own is dogshite and after all of this, who is going to want to work with the alcoholic who did a two hour show about what a cunt his radio partner of 20 years is, instead of talking it out in private.
i would love to know what mr bennington is thinking.
14 LamarThePotato 2015-04-07
Opie is an insecure fuck with a lot of issues, but Mr Cumia is just as bad. Of course his on-air "man-child charm" helps him with a lot of the shit he pulls.
But in the end I think the good'ol Opster has a point when he says Ant has some profound unsolved issues while at least Op is going to therapy or whatever.
4 frrunkis 2015-04-07
Anthony has self-awareness and admits he has faults. He just doesn't give a fuck. He is easily one of the funniest guys on radio and his show is amazing. Call him an alcholic all you want, but he should have gone after Opie they way he did and he puts on a much better show than O&J
5 Blurgette 2015-04-07
I don't think Mr B likes this at all. They're giving gifts everything away. They're supposed to carny it more.
1 breadmoccasin 2015-04-07
Anthony bit his tongue for months, openly promoted O&J, and only spoke out against Opie after Opie said "Ant wanted to do his own show, I was tired of doing radio with Anthony".
I know there's two sides to every story, but I really believe Anthony wanted to keep his job.
Also, Ant never really insulted him. He never called him untalented. He just told what appears to be the truth.
1 jakdak 2015-04-07
His show on his own is far better than either O&J or that crap that was the pre firing O&A show
21 OfficialEdAsner 2015-04-07
Nah, the only other options were Ant pulling a Paul Walker one icy, drunken night or Opie walking silently out of a prison visiting room as Ant shouts, 'Are you my friend, Gregg?'. It had to end somehow and if anything it's good it ended with a breaking of the dam of criticisms people having been holding back from Opie for years through fear of offending his fragile ego.

I agree, it sucks. Who the fuck would guess that in 2015 we'd see O & A feuding, doing separate shows, and having Stern show refugees coming on as guests?
I'm really trying to hear both sides out on this. I know that sounds faggy but they both have a shitload of bad stories they can pull on each other at this point. Opie seems to lack self awareness, but Ant seems like a guy who sucks at communicating his problems to people he has problems with. I doubt he ever called Bill Burr about the Patrice Benefit after making a thing of it for the weeks leading up to it. Hearing them throw past shit at one another is good radio but you really don't know how much of any of it to believe since they're both fighting.

10 grayranger 2015-04-07
Honestly, I'm just sick of the obsessive, anonymous, anti-fan boy on this sub. It's fucking gross.
Yes eventually they were going to blow up like this after the firing, but to take some kind of joy out of being a complete cunt with recycled lines in every fucking post is embarrassing.
I wish this sub reddit was Germanwings Flight 4U9525 Because I would convince the pilot to take a piss just to wreck & take you fucking cry babies out.
Now go ahead. Copy & paste your best lines. Then pat yourself on the back. Hope you get cancer.

Nothing was as good as O&A&J. No sub division of that will ever be as good. I have been fucking depressed as hell over it since the firing. I'm not TeamOpie. I'm not TeamAnt. So many little internet busybodies wanting to have an affiliation and "go to war". I just fucking miss my favorite show in the world. That's all.
3 Flamgirlant 2015-04-07
A lot of us (myself included) think that A&J would be as good if not moreso. The Opie and Ant split sucks for me mostly because it split Ant from Jim. I honestly don't believe that Opie played any sort of beneficial role on the show, at least not one that couldn't easily be replaced by someone far more beneficial.
O&A&J worked, but how much of that do you really credit to Opie? I think A&J could easily work on their own but especially if you get someone who doesn't have the same blatant flaws that Opie did to run the board and (somewhat) direct the show.
2 ONAFan2014 2015-04-07
Same here. I never had a problem with Opie like everyone else did. Say what you want, but if he saw what he would become, not only would he give his past self a break, but he would blow his brains out. A sad happening, but if it's to preserve a brand built for twenty years, sometime's it's a noble sacrifice.
7 [deleted] 2015-04-07
doesn't depress me, the guy didn't even listen to Anthony and now he's acting like an absolute abuse victim, if he's not even going to actually listen to what anthony has to say and act like a petulant manbaby fuck him, anthony was perfectly grounded and rational in what he was saying, there was no senseless bashing only honest criticism which he'd obviously been thinking for a while and all he did was confirm what many listeners have thought about opie anyway and he only proved ant and every "hater" right today by playing the victim to the point of crying, you know, like the mom he always complains about
just glad i know how a true narcissist sounds to not be easily manipulated by their woe is me bullshit

That was live in color you were watching?
7 jfoughe 2015-04-07
Agreed, except I miss the show that made me laugh like an idiot or sit in my idling car in the driveway. Considering what both shows are now, we're a long, long way from 8-track porn, the Bra Bombing, and Louis CK being in every other week. Both shows are nowhere near as entertaining as 2008-ish O and A.
2 TrackSuitVos 2015-04-07
I've lost a few of my favorite videos on YT. Get what you can while you can.
5 lukehardy 2015-04-07
I'm feeling better about it all. I can now stop listening and feel like there was a resolution, it's not the one I would have voted for but it's an ending. Sometime that's as good as it gets
4 Binski13 2015-04-07
I almost get a little sad but opie finds a way rather quickly to get you back on the hate train.
4 Ant_Sucks 2015-04-07
Thats bitter alcoholics for you. Opie will do fine in radio and the comics will continue to rally around him. Ants got 5 years max to fade into obscurity before the liver fails.
7 majestik6 2015-04-07
It sucks, but it's the most logical conclusion.
If he opens up the studio in NYC he'll burn through millions of dollars.
If he simply retires he can live a comfortable life until he dies.
4 MrFattie 2015-04-07
These people that think Ant can do no wrong don't realize that even though Opie knew Anthony hated him Opie was still constantly reaching out to Anthony and telling him to make calls and get back on mainstream radio. Opie was more than likely Anthony's only connection to get back to SXM.
3 OldGearJammer 2015-04-07
Opie will definitely do fine while Florentine and Vos rally around him. Even Soder has given up on that sinking ship.

3 UncPa57yrzyng 2015-04-07
Even though in the end we all knew how Opie was, a small part of me still feels like everything I loved and laughed at was a lie.
3 HBK27 2015-04-07
It was sad to see how it ended in July and then the slow realization that the show was never getting back together again.
This was at least some interesting radio for a couple of days, moreso on Anthony's part as I feel he's at least being honest. But yeah, it does generally suck all around. O&J is largely unlistenable and while TACS is still improving, it's still nowhere near the level of peak O&A.
I honestly never had much of a problem with Opie during the O&A days and surely this subreddit exposed some stuff, but it's largely been his actions since Ant's firing that has made me turn on him. I think Ant addressed it perfectly that Opie has this "holier than thou" opinion of himself and dismisses any criticism from fans as being haters...plus the complete turnaround on bashing management and just the amount of lies...ugh...whatever, just sucks all around.
2 jammiesoff 2015-04-07

2 maynardsabeast 2015-04-07

3 dopaminenotyours 2015-04-07
Yeah, I feel like half the opie haters are just "going with the flow" and enjoying being part of the internet hate machine.
3 [deleted] 2015-04-07
I've never seen a community more filled with belligerent dipshits than the OnA fan base. Its a microcosm of stupid.
2 DrSANDMAN09 2015-04-07
It's very sad. I listened to O and J, hoping Anthony would return one day. If liar Opie had been truthful with the fans, I'd never wasted my time. At least he will stop lying.
2 Lilcumia 2015-04-07
Yeah I still held on thinking they might get back together. I couldn't even listen after Opie's response break. Hope Ant's show is a success. Sad and unusual way to end it.

I'm past the depression; now I'm just looking forward to what the future holds for Ant. I've given Opie the benefit of the doubt more or less since July. This morning ended that.
1 OKChaps 2015-04-07
They both need a proper solution to this. It's going to follow their careers for as long as they both have shows and they just can't MOVEONMOVEONMOVEON. Now the fans (this sub in particular) has a taste of blood they (we) won't let go. Guests in the studio will occasionally bring it up and they'll be forced to discuss it or tell them not to mention O&A anymore.
If they do it properly they can salvage a decent relationship out of it. However that would take a great deal of effort that neither can be bothered to put in, and a level of self awareness and humility that neither might be capable of.
Anyway, I'm going to head over to /r/tgirls and turn my chair upside down. Who wants to Skype?
1 cottonsweatpants 2015-04-07

1 -Palaver 2015-04-07
I'm loving this and optimistic about the future. I really hope Ant is able to setup a great studio in the city. Jimmy eventually joins. Ron and other comedians join in and opie goes and fucks himself. Nopie shows plus a visual element sounds great.

1 stomlino 2015-04-07
I totally agree this is really sad. The trio was awesome together and it sucks to see these two going at it like this I never would've expected it. They both have good points about each other but I think Anthony took it a little too far with going on a 2 hour rant I think Opie took it really hard and it was noticeable when he was talking about it today
5 ONAFan2014 2015-04-07
A two-hour rant. He sounded pretty rational about it. He didn't yell like you think he did.
2 BenjaminRCaineIII 2015-04-07
Yeah. I honestly think Ant's so-called rant was, in part, his way of attempting to open a dialogue between the two shows. I don't think anybody was expecting Opie to respond by calling him human garbage.
Regardless of who is more responsible for getting this mess started, it's gonna take a lot of work from both sides if this is ever gonna get worked out, and I think the ball's in Opie's court at this point.
1 MacsDuster 2015-04-07
