To be totally fair here, SOMEBODY had to talk to management. Anthony wasn't going to be that guy. Jim isn't that guy either. I can't fault him for cultivating a relationship there but to pretend you hate these guys to get some kind of underdog/regular Joe pity from the fans is well, you're a great big phony.

I'm not going to fling shit for staff or comics. They can do that themselves. And I really, really, really hope they do, since I already know what it'll sound like.

When Opie was threatening about not resigning did any of the staff feel like their jobs were threatened or did everyone see that it was bullshit?

I was never worried about Opie threatening not to sign. I WAS worried about them not being offered another contract.

This is the stuff that makes me suspect. Danny and I had plenty of discussions around contract time about Opie saying he wasn't signing. There was never a point where the company re signing us was an issue.

These were my personal fears. You think that fuck would walk away from guaranteed pay? Meanwhile, you were getting wrecked and taking days off to take casino trips. The show was getting pretty shitty and I'd say to myself "how the FUCK are they getting resigned..."

Still suspect?

AH SHIT TONY YOU GONNA LET HIM GET AWAY WITH DAT?!

It's a very difficult situation

Yeah, I am. I never took days for casino trips. They never gave the slightest hint they wouldn't sign us. Also, I texted & emailed "you" and got no answer. So, yes, still suspect.

Do you think you still have my number?? And YES you did. You said you were sick, but you traipsed of to the Borgata.

**edit - check your email.

It's not that odd to have the same number after a few years. What about the email? It was sent to the same address someone else supposedly got a conformation from. I never went to the Borgata after calling in sick. Also, I honestly don't believe Danny would actually invest this much time in these hyjinks. He's been invisible on social media. All the sudden he's on here for hours on end? Just seems odd.

Check your email, pally.

You're right, I have been invisible on social media. You gotta do that when you're being harassed.

Alrighty. It is indeed him.

Don't send him any ipads, just in case.

Gold!

Well I know I'll sleep more soundly at night now knowing we have one less Daniel Ross impersonator out there.

Anthony, I'm fat

Thanks for confirming.

Have a drink with him and work this shit out.

Faking Faker!

I can't picture Anthony using the word "Indeed."

Why do you and Danny hate each other?

[deleted]

This is where Danny is talked into shutting up now.

Well, shut my mouth. I thought for sure this was a faker eating up all the attention.

Okay /u/DannyFromTheShow, time to explain why you said Ant was BizarroOpie

That's how I remembered it going down. I had replied to somebody else saying it was my own "Berenstain Bears" paradox. I was wrong apparently and own up 100%.

I just looked up "berenstain bears" paradox, literally my hair is standing on end. I was typing it in saying to myself it's "...stein" and then this. Fucking weird.

Now you know I feel. I was dead certain he had told me it was him. There's no reason for him to deny it at this point and I believe him. My bad to all.

Don't apologize to me, it happens.

I just know for goddamn sure it's Berenstein, I'm certain of it. What. Is. Going. On.

I don't like to think about it cuz I legit will have a panic attack.

We live in some alternate 1985 where some anti-Semite did NOT like the idea of a family of Jewish bears.

Danny I cannot thank you enough for putting me onto this, shit blew my fucking mind

https://youtu.be/Ens4XQ6dnmk holy shit. If anyone doesn't know what we're talking about... Also just started this about the "mandela effect" https://youtu.be/xSJJLH9Dk3s fucking literally blowing my goddamned mind

WTF! I always remembered it as the niggerstein bears...mind blown.

Underrated .

Thank you for having a rational response to this.

Don't know if you're fucking with me or not, maybe I'm some rube and this is some kind of sick joke...

But I'm literally going down the rabbit hole with this thing. Totally freaked out.

Nope. First time I saw this I bugged the fuck out. Still am.

Simple explanation:

It blew up on the internet because most people on the internet are around 18-24 years of age, upper bound around thirty, i.e. young enough to have grown up with the Berenstain Bears. However, when we read or watched the show, we were too young to be able to really pick up on the spelling of it. Years later, all names we learn that end with "stein" are spelled that way. So, we assume.

Being a li'l hellraiser, as a child I called them "the poopenstain bears" while cackling madly to myself. That's how I maintained grounding in reality. Stay safe out there, gang

It's weird; I never thought of OnA fans as having a childhood.

Without googling, the movie "interview with _ vampire"

the

sorry, already knew it. Even simpler explanation: say the title out loud both ways. With the. With a. Sounds similar right? See: could of / could have (could've)

Well fuck you and your rational explanations, it's clearly parallel universes.

No further questions :)

But all that jesus talk and mischievous time bending imps sounded so plausible!

Wait what? It's not Berenstein?? Mind blown.

nope, that's not it

The thing is, I asked my mom about it and she was certain it was stein

I'm right behind you.

"A beautiful day in THIS neighborhood" COME THE FUCK ON

I don't really get the Mandela one though. Who doesn't know he just recently died? He wasn't hiding the past 25 years after getting out of jail. I would imagine most people who thought he was dead knew he didn't die in prison because he was President of South Africa in the rugby movie with Matt Dillon and shown 30 times a game during the 2010 World Cup. And plus, isn't he more famous for getting out of jail, winning the Nobel peace prize and being elected after apartheid ended?

I think they said people remembered it happened in the 1970s or whenever

How do these people rationalize that though? Most of these people are claiming to have watched his funeral. Why would his funeral even have been broadcast back then? He hadn't done anything yet.

The Berenstein bears one is kinda weird, but I think its weird the guy in the video really chalks it all up to alternate realities. People just have a tendency to misquote movies, which is where all that came from. Just like how no one ever actually said "Beam me up, Scotty" in start trek. whatever the most convenient way to quote it becomes how people do it, and then it causes people to remember it differently.

I am just watching this - the whole thing is predicated on people imprecisiely remembering pop culture.

I think he said recently on the show that he followed the account and that might be where the confusion originated.

I just found out about this too recently, and I'm still not over it

Holy shit. I'm still in denial of this being true.

Lol, well yeah, if it wasnt for the weirdness of the name he wouldnt have brought it up at all.

Why don't you two faggots make out now. Fuck Danny, he sucked on air.

Can you two stop being cunts to each other now?

Hear that sound? It's the sound of ~228 peckas all ejaculating simultaneously.

Fuck this sub is so fucking gay.

Thermite Danny!

Shut up Opie.

Sorry, im getting confused now

To be fair most of us in here are neither very social nor media.

We're watching history unfold live, gentlemen.

It didn't have to be contract time for me to worry about the show's future btw

Sure, just like you never bought a 41 year old man pretending to be a 14 year old girl an iPad. We know all your tricks, Cumia.

And the wheels are falling off...

My guess is someone with a pretty good knowledge of the show and staff during the time Danny was there. But there are just a few things that aren't quite right.

I bet it's Steve C.

Oh boy, you might want to take a seat. I've got some terrible news....

GRRR, GRRRR, NONONONONO

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

Yess- urghchhh ....

[deleted]

Any updates?

Hi ant. Keep on trucking. Heard the shows getting better.

[deleted]

My stomach hurts

What's the real reason you and ant no longer like each other?

mother fucker wouldn't look at me when we made love.

Send to: Opie

This cunt won't even looking at me.

That's funny because he said the same thing to Opie by accident.

Well that's just plain rude.

So I guess we're all refreshing their post history to find eachother in this pocket here?

And it's going down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuwI5FGD_-I

SHOTS FIRED!!!!

Look at these 2 queers argue over reddit instead of picking up their fucking phones.

Jezusss christ

Pssshhhhfffttt... Sonuvabiiitchb

Jeebus they are all a bunch of teen drama queens.

Sure we are.

The pictures he posted seem pretty legitimate.

[deleted]

Hey hey, alright, hey hey, stop it! Come on, break it up! What's the matter with you?

Now don't you two see that you're in love with each other? I mean, why can't you face that already? You're running around out there looking for something that's not even there, when everything that you dream of is right here, right here in front of you. Now why can't you admit that?

So as you say, they had 60k listeners a day during the o&a days, we know that numbers down pretty significantly. Why do you think Sirius continued with opie and gave him a raise? When you were there, did upper management know the ins & outs of the show, did they tell ant to cut down on the racial humor, Obama insults?

I can only assume that without Ant's salary being an issue anymore that opened up a lot of show cash. Steve's salary was absorbed, mine too. Obvs, we're nothing next to that Ant cash but I can imagine the company was STILL saving money after giving him a bump.

Management had no idea how the show operated. You should have been there for these "staff meetings" we'd have to go to every week. I'm sure he was told to tone it down at times, but that's the kind of meeting I wouldn't be in.

yeah, one time i went to his house for a superbowl party and the dude had no food. he ordered pizza ON SUPER BOWL SUNDAY. That's hatable as fuck.

But MMMMMMM that 4th quarter pepperoni..... ugh

Was it to be cheap and have everyone throw in for pizza instead of making food? What a scumbag.

Holy fuck what a douche. Yea, let's just order pizza on the busiest day of the year for pizza places. I bet he's a shitty tipper too.

what's wrong with 7.5% all the way up?

[deleted]

fuckin right. This guy is holding on to secrets like he holds on to gold.

Maybe he wants payment?

What kind of story are you expecting. What "secrets" do you think there are? Are you upset for having expectations? You shouldn't do that.

Hey money lender what do you prefer EL84's or El34's ? And why?

I'm assuming this is supposed to be some Jew/Money joke?

*Jokes you have to explain are always the best.

I love this place

Die in a fire

AHA! Better get back to photoshopping Opie and keeping your mouth shut. That's all you're good for around here faggot!

Go on bitch! tweet tweet tweet! LOL!

teehee

Sorry for destroying your show.

teehee

"my show"?

I enjoy pointing out how this sub is pathetic sir, that is all. I never said it was "my show". Follow the rainbow sir.

teehee

Your boy is finished.

you're welcome.

teehee

Please sir, dont embarrass yourself. It wont make a difference either way.

What do you think Patrice truly felt about Opie as a whole? I know you can't speak for him, but you were in the room and could pick up situational vibes on and off air.

To be fair though, before anyone really knew much of what really went on behind-the-scenes, all three of them going on rants about management was kind of entertaining.

/u/DannyFromTheShow

1) Whats Opie wife like? Im not really into all of the outrageous hate on here about her and her kids, but she genuinely seems like a bitchy stuck up lady. Any experiences with her?

2) Guests- Who was unbelievably shitty to deal with and just an asshole. Anyone surprisingly down to earth for how big they were?

Anyone flip out behind the scenes because of the way they were treated on air.

3) Fez stories. Anything. Hes the most interesting human on this planet imo. I need fez info with him no linger being on the air.

/u/Dannyfromtheshow Would you agree that banning Opie, Ant and Jim from using their smartphones in the studio would have greatly improved the show?

When I was in school, we had what the teacher called a "June Box". If you were caught playing with toys and shit, it got put in the June Box and you got it back when school was done for the year. These dudes needed a June Box.

We had a Jew Box. Mr. Steingoldman took our electronics, toys, and sold then for a very good profit, oy!

Fawk yeah! 100% profit! My nose just grew an inch!

Couldn't agree more. Thanks!

/u/Dannyfromtheshow

Hey, what is the thing that people/'fans' do that pisses Opie off more than anything else?, or what would piss him off the most? Asking for a friend

Honesty.

*lol'd at asking for a friend.

Hey /u/DannyFromTheShow is there anything remotely positive you can say about tits, after working with him for as long as you did?

Yes. He was really good at on-air Sudoku puzzles.

I find that hard to believe based on the fact of how stupid he is

and dont forget threats against management that are NEVER carried out!

[deleted]

how did steve c die and what moments made you feel embarrassed about the show

I think he hung himself.

/u/DannyFromTheShow

Are you enjoying your time as king of the Reddit fags? Cause you know they'll turn on you eventually.

Also, what did you ever do with that hard drive you bought at Circuit City?

Turn on him? This motherfucker has already gone full circle.

I just got on tonight after a while, haven't had a chance to check everything.

Has he thrown Tits under the bus yet?

No, he's too scared to give up anything we don't already know. When your unemployed with no real skills to offer, you don't burn the Opster bridge.

Isin't he a bartender now? What else does he have to lose?

Not trying to be a dick, just saying.

That's about what's happening here. He wants back into the Anthony fold so bad he came pandering to us reddit losers. Bartending is an actual skill imo, sounds like he was fired from that since he's proud of saying hes not one.

burn the opester bridge?? there's no bridge to burn.

they have turned. it's funny reading this sub with nothing but negative shit to say bout danny but as soon as he started posting these faggots start groveling

[deleted]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

My enemy has nice tits.

Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make me a match, Find me a find, catch me a catch Matchmaker, Matchmaker Look through your book, And make me a perfect match

/u/DannyFromTheShow

Did the race shit Ant would harp on ever get brought up when the mics weren't on?

What the fuck do you think?

I know what I fucking think. I want confirmation.

What the fuck do you think he thinks?

/u/Dannyfromtheshow what's your relationship with Sam if anything did you keep in touch with him? and have you heard his new show? any thoughts about it?

What most amazing to me, is after all this time, these little "Leaks" come out of this and that, the show, Opie, etc.. Regardless of what went on, I'm still shocked everyone involved hasn't gotten together to just bury the hatchet on this thing. Whats done is done, the past is the past.. It was one of the best shows in radio history, and will always be that. Just wish all this petty bullshit was over, and closure was completed. My 2 fuckin cents.

I was expecting to read "would you be my boyfriend 4eva??!!"

Since that's not what I read I skipped the rest...

It seems only yesterday you attacked radio legend Earl Douglas when will you change Danny. I also recall an episode of Black Phillip, which you spent complaining and years later it's now on Reddit about people you used to work with, on a fan page which for a while has been confused and angry. Why show up now and destroy what's left. Shame on you !!!

This sub has become pretty gay since Danny showed up. Can we just get back to making fun of Opie and stop trying to coax secret info out of a former intern. It's getting to ballwashing levels.

What juicy details do you faggots expect anyways? Opie is bland and cowardly, do you think he's punching co-workers behind the scenes?

I was never worried about Opie threatening not to sign. I WAS worried about them not being offered another contract.

I can only assume that without Ant's salary being an issue anymore that opened up a lot of show cash. Steve's salary was absorbed, mine too. Obvs, we're nothing next to that Ant cash but I can imagine the company was STILL saving money after giving him a bump.
