He eats his own shit. He should be banned from all structures.

See that's why I love Dave, but I also understand people being put off by a man who eats his own shit.

30 years from now, someone should quote that exact sentence back to you and you'd reevaluate every choice you've ever made in life.

Yeah well a lot of motherfuckers love that GG Alin prick, but they don't get any flack from it. A man eating his own shit will always be funny. Sorry future children/employers.

oh i get it. but sometimes you have to step back and think about what you've become when look forward to listening on the radio to a masochist indulge in scat play.

Don't think of it that way- just think of it as a man who literally has no bounds on what he will do to entertain you.

For the show

Another wonderful Davey Mac business decision.

You just wait until Davey Mac's Helicommute Jackin' Ride opens and the riches start rolling in.

Everyone wants Knizzors.

Why so racist?

Why so cheap? Why so gay?

White people are so scared of black people.

Im a big fan of Dave and think hes matured into a find radio host over his career. The person hes remembered as is not who he is today, and when the DMSP was on a roll it was a great radio show and podcast. That being said, are we just supposed to act like we've forgotten about the incident that got him fired?

After being either cancelled or "put on hiatus" for an extended period of time The Davey Mac Sports Program returned to its normal Friday night spot on The Opie and Anthony channel. Everyone knew that Dave was a marked man and on managements (and apparently Opies) shit list and in order to stay with the company he would have to toe the line and play the game.

I remember it very well because i used to listen and call in constantly, the second week of his show was a disaster. According to Davey Mac, he called in sick hours before his show was supposed to go on and he spoke to someone high enough up to approve his sick day and take care of the radio responsibilities. You have to remember that this is Friday night and the SXM building is almost completely empty. From what we know its like Cousin Brucie and Dave and that's probably it. If Dave did call in sick, then the scheduled live air time would have to be reprogrammed or reset to play a replay or a best of. When it came time for the show to go live the DMSP intro was played followed by 20 minutes of dead air. Literal silence. Then it finally went to whatever stock "uh oh, someone knocked a wire out and were working on it" pre tape Sirius uses for another couple of minutes before the Worst of O&A came on. Either 5 minutes before the show was supposed to start or 5 minutes after the show was supposed to start Dave posted a picture of himself on his couch with tissues up his nose or a thermometer in his mouth with a message talking about how sick he was and how there was no show tonight. Anyone who follows Daves career knows that when he isn't putting out a show that week he lets the fans know hours, if not days before hes supposed to go on. If you looked at his social media leading up to that nights show, he was promoting it the whole week like normal. The picture and message came off really incenserce and like a person who was trying to cover their own ass because they knew they fucked up. It was like something he convinced himself he could show to his bosses and go "see, i told you i was sick, i posted this to twitter!" or like a coworker who pretends to be sick a day before calling out. Something wasn't right about the way Dave handled it on his end.

Im trying to remember the rest of the saga after that night, but i cant really be sure im recalling it correctly. According to Dave he called in sick and was given the green light but was then sabotaged by management. Sirius said he no showed his scheduled air time and Sabien terminated him, with Opies blessing. Opie was accused by Dave and the fans of lying when he said he had nothing to do with it and wanted to keep Dave on staff. If im remembering this correctly before Dave was brought back for that last run Sabien was cutting costs and trying to save money so he cancelled Dave and Dr. Steves show. I believe that it was known by fans (only because Opie told us) that Dave and Dr. Steve were both some slave wage like $200 a show. The fans balked at the fact that live programming was being cut to save $200 bucks, and both shows were brought back. After Dave was cancelled for the second and final time fans accused Opie of favoring Dr. Steve and choosing his show over Daves. Basically people were pissed because it was said without being said that Opie let Dave go.

Im not one to defend Opie, and i agree that he probably "fucked" Dave, but there are things on both sides that don't make sense. Dave hosted his show with Pepper, and if Pepper was in studio waiting for Dave at the time their show was supposed to start then why didn't Pepper do what was necessary to ensure that their was no dead air? Either start the show by himself and explain what was going on or call management when he realized that Dave wasn't showing up or switch over to a Worst of and prevent the fuck up. If Chris Stanley was there, then he panicked for 20 minutes before figuring out what to do. Say what you will about Pepper Hicks but he knows how to operate a board and produce a show. That could only mean Pepper wasn't in studio waiting for Dave because Dave had contacted him before the show and let him know that he was sick and had called management to let them know that the show wasn't happening. If Dave didn't call in and was just going to play hookie would he really fuck Pepper over like that and possibly cost him his job? Would he really lie to Pepper about the status of the show and cause a huge fuck up when he could have kept Pepper in the dark about it and have Pepper show up to SXM and fix everything once hes there? Either Chris thought they had the night off or he was in studio and let the whole thing go to shit. Im going to assume he was told he had the night off by Dave. This could lead you to believe that Dave is telling the truth and management just outright lied and fired him, using his absence as the needed excuse. As far as we know Pepper suffered no repercussions over this incident.

If you look at it from the perspective of the people in charge its much easier to see their line of thinking. Its well known that when you're in radio certain things are expected of you. You can not call in sick unless you are dying, you can not no show your scheduled time, and you can not have extended periods of dead air. This applies to Don Imus and Mike Francesa the same way it applies to Dave. Dave Mac was accused of all three of those offenses. If he didn't call in and caught SXM sleeping then he no showed his radio gig and was responsible for 20 minutes of dead air and letting the fans down and no showing his radio show. You're fired. Even if he did call in sick and speak to the right people his show was reluctantly brought back and in its SECOND WEEK and Dave has the gall to call in sick. Is he out of his fucking mind? Of course they're going to fire you, they hate you to begin with. Lets say they did sabotage Dave after he called in and let the dead air out and purposefully made Dave look bad so they had a reason to fire him, that was just Sabien covering all his bases. They had enough reason to let him go the second he called in sick on his second show back. Imagine calling into work sick your second day on the job. Would you expect to have your gig the next day? Absolutely not.

Dont forget that Ronnie B's free box of Blu E-Cigs went missing during this same period and Ron was accusing Dave and Chris of having a bunch of fuck ups and people who shouldn't be there in studio because it was the weekend and they could party with no one there. And if you consider Opie as a boss and the fact that he doesn't even tolerate Jimmy doing Uncle Paul... what do you think Opie thought about Daves show? Im sure Opie loved all the rape and child molestation jokes along with the racism and seriously edgy shit that was going on during Daves hour. The guy was in trouble to begin with and no one wanted him around. I mean the writing was on the wall. He was cancelled and brought back and cancelled again, and if he had any clue he would have gotten out of there and tried to get a job elsewhere months before this all happened. He can act as bitter as he wants and im sure its semi justified but he made his bed the second he either called in or no showed his gig the second week back. Periuuuud.

Opie said he was fired for no-showing, ESD said Tim Sabean told him it was for budgetary reasons:

https://twitter.com/EastSideDave/status/442076640735424512

https://twitter.com/EastSideDave/status/442364250959667200

Also, Dave said he had food poisoning and called in two hours before- that's very sudden but if he got the go-clear from management to call in sick he probably called Pepper and told him not to come in and somebody fucked up with the dead air. Food poisoning comes on quickly and sometimes painfully.

I will believe Dave over Opie every time.

Looking back now from what we know about Opie, yes he fucked Dave. This was around the time Ron and Fez were leaving 202 as well for that other channel.. I would LOVE to know what the fuck was happening behind the scenes.

As for ESD and calling in sick, there is only one person noone has asked WTF happened.. and thats Pepper. I think Pepper may have screwed up but noone was going to put the blame on him when he could be fired and 150/week to Dave wasn't worth getting his buddy canned. Thats my theory at least. Im sure I am wrong, and I think Pepper is the shit, but its the one link in the chain of events we dont know.. If ESD called in sick, and Pepper wasn't there to back him up then that explains the 20mins of dead air.

Either way. Opie didn't like Dave because he was in Anthonys camp.. and at the time Opie was getting alot of heat over the channel changes (which were strange as shit). I think Opie was making a move back then to go his own way and was cleaning house in advance.

You mean sometimes people have consequences for their actions and it's not always totally someone else's fault? What?!

There's not a single "peckahs" in this giant wall of text. Do you even read this sub?

Just when Ant's situation seemed at its most dire, there arose the great Achilles born again, East Side Dave.

He maintained a solid legion of followers during his whole banishment from SXM, and has now returned to finish what he started.

The man had the entire Soprano family tattooed on his body! The spirit of revenge flows through his veins.

He ordered for the table!

You know grandpa Cumia was "Dave when you get airtime you need to help me man, draw some of the fire back on Greggshells from this whole smacking that bitch and pedo fiasco".

idk about all that but The East Side Dave show was the best thing I ever witnessed

It's been rumored that Opie got Dave's show cancelled back in early 2014. It's been discussed on here before, and even strongly implied by Anthony.

Listen to how phony and disengenious he is in this clip. This was right when Tim Sabean and Opie were starting to make the channel the "media destination" that it is now. Yuck.

EDIT: Here's another clip of Opie going behind Anthony and Jimmy's back and then hiding behind/throwing management under the bus to save his own ass. What a cowardly phony.

If you ever want a reason to hate Opie, just listen to any of his phony management rants from Fall 2013 - Summer 2014 (Ant's firing). He wants to look like this 'stick-it to management, take no shit' guy and then he immediately rolled over and puckered his asshole up after Ant was torched.

He's a hatable cunt who's not worth the bacteria that's at the end of the chewed pen that's used to sign his gargantuanly undeserved paycheck. Fuck him

Smart business decision imo. None of this shit matters. WHY NOT aim for keeping the 7 figure job for as long as you can?

Ive listened to O&A for way too fucking long, since '01.. and you sir are on point. I remember the rants from Opie: "YOU CANT SPLIT US UP MAAAAAN.. THERE IS NO DIVIDE AND CONQUER WITH US" and then when Anthony gets booted... "MGMT LIKES WHATS GOING ON..sniff"

Opie has always been a cringy shithead.

I remember that whole divide and conquer schtick he use to rant on for hours. Then Tony gets the axe and hes Stepin Fetchit for management.

He really is the worst kind of person, hes so phony and fake.

Doesn't matter. Ant hit a girl.

Sad that it wasn't Opie

Heh, I get it.

Wow...listening to this brought me back to the first time I heard it and how disgusted I was by Opie. His stupid "Twitter" voice, him saying how he tried to get ESD his job back and he only "wishes him the best" him continually saying "Stop the drama" yet he's the one that goes on and on about it with his dramatic tone of voice (Ant and Jim barely say anything) But you can tell that Ant does not believe for a second that Don screamed and yelled at Opie! When you listen to these old clips you can really hear Opie's obvious and covert lies, manipulations and jabs at Ant. He passively aggressively tries to make Ant look bad every chance he gets. Ant could have made him look like a fool on a daily basis, but he never did and in fact would always try to bail him out. Opie is an A1 certifiable Cunt

daves a real nigga

How do you not love Davey Mac?

Then again, he is a ginger

They have no souls.

Only assholes don't love Davey Mac. Assholes and Fez Whatley.

Fez Whatley.

Hey!

Because he's a complete sociopath who probably should be institutionalized.

Granted, that describes 80% of people associated with O&A.

We need to reach out to ESD, show our love and support, and manipulate the hate to further our hater agenda against Tits.

I remember listening just after Dave got fired and Opie said something I found a bit weird, something along the lines of "the guy just can't/won't help himself". It stood out because they had just been ralking about how the company wouldn't even give him a small raise and they said he was great for Ron and Fez and made the point he wasn't getting paid much anyway..

Get him to start a radio war with Opie

why was dave so mad at opie that he sent him a threatening letter?

Opie owes Dave $500

That's what happened in the jets lockeroom. Too bad it didn't end the same way.

He recently talked about winning a bet with Opie and Tits refused to pay up. Maybe something to do with that.

Yeah. A while back, there was a "fat off" in which the R&F/O&A shows competed.

Whoever gained the most weight in 1 month (?) won the competition.

It started as all of those bets/competitions did - with Opie saying he'd "throw in $500" to the winner.

ESD gained ~30lbs in one month and was the clear winner.

According to ESD, everybody else paid what they said they would contribute except for Opie.

another reason to hate that fat unfunny cuck

Add it to the list.

everybody else paid what they said they would contribute except for Opie.

This is his unofficial motto and should also be on his tombstone.

And people are taking ESD side on this? Teasing him with $500 so he'd gain 30lbs and then not paying him is hilarious! Where are people's sense of humor!

it just seems like a lot of opportunity to throw away over a $500 bet. I mean....anyone would be mad about $500, but it seems like he would have enough foresight to know if he threatened a host of a show in the building he would get tossed. why would he not fucking explain the whole story? i don't know why, but that aggravates me.

dave is very excitable.... and i believe that was around the time where he was extremely hard up for money, when his son was having surgery or something like that. i think fez had offered money but dave didn't want anything he hadn't earned.

regardless, i think dave probably started pushing lightly and then a little harder thinking he was just being the guy in the right. not thinking that the guy he's dealing with was the cheapest new yorker alive.

I guess I can see it the more I think about it. he probably wasn't making barely any money when he was doing all that good work for ron and fez, and then you win a bet, and the guy who owes you just won't pay......AND HE'S GOT MILLIONS!!! for real, can you imagine a FUCKING MILLIONAIRE owed you $500, and you needed it, and he was just like no I'm not paying you, and probably smiled at you about it! and it's opies smug face looking at you everyday....that would probably upset me too.

More like his wife was strongarming him for money.

i was gonna feel sorry for him, but he did pretty well for a ginger with her. pretty good looking from the pics i remember.

Just ask Photoshop Mike if you want to refresh your memory about how she's looking.

That's why Dave left RF. But then he continued to do his show on Saturday nights. If I remember right they put his show on hiatus then brought it back then cancelled it altogether. I'm assuming Dave blames Opie and the other two who wear suits for cancelling him.

[deleted]

you're confusing ron for opie. loyalty matters a great deal to ron, not at all to opie.

there were days you could hear the silent rage in ron directed at fez. it was overwhelming. but he was by his side to the end, and he never really entertained the idea of just giving up on any of his friends.

Oh for fuck's sake it's a job not an infantry squad in combat.

haha, of course. but ron and fez were more than just coworkers, they were friends. fez was uncle to ron's daughter, a part of his family.

i mean if you're an r&f listener it all got pretty sad at times.

Yeah it's more like a gangbang.

He didn't pay ESD the 500 bucks after he won the contest. So do we actually believe opie fucking paid the cakestomp guy at all? Opie is a disgusting human being.

Sounds very similar to what happened with Levy and Stern.

And Ant apparently asked Dave to do a show on TACS over a year ago.

When Dave got fired, he was really pissed off at Tim Sabean and Opie and called them out specifically. That would be the blond guy and the alcoholic. I'm sure he wasn't happy with Don Wickland either, who organized Dave's wedding on Ron and Fez, yet didn't save him from being fired from his Saturday show.

Lol everyone going on about opie in this thread when he also said he threatened 'little' jim Norton. No one cares to assume about what jim did that made dave threaten him?

Not 100% sure he meant Jimmy. Thought the first 2 guys were 'suits' and the third mention was Opie

Exactly. Why would he threaten Jimmy?

Didn't Dave go nuts after he was fired Tweeting and emailing Sirius management crazy shit? Maybe Opie had a role but Dave got Dave fired. He ignored just about every piece of advice Ronnie B gave him.

maybe Im missing something but who were the other 2 people Dave threatened? I mean if I didnt know any better he was talking about Opie, Jimmy and Anthony. I know that doesnt make sense given that he gets along with Jimmy&Ant but still that explanation kind of sounds like them.

Wicky Wicklund and Tim Sabean, the former Channel managers.

I'm fairly certain it was Ant and Jim...idk who else "the little cockroach" and "the disfunctional alcoholic" or whatever he said could have been referring to

I love Dave, but he has no one but himself to blame for his show getting cancelled and being banned from the building.

With a lot of help from a big titted, balding woman (mid transition)

Maybe. But Opie is a sly cunt who doesnt have the balls to just say 'nah we dont want the show anymore'

He says things like 'oh we triiiiied' like a piece of shit

Dave missed a show, which led to dead air followed by error messages. That's pretty much unforgivable in live radio.

I don't know about his "threats" but anything in that ballpark means an instant ban front the building in corporate America.

I love Dave, but he did this to himself.

what did O&A say about what happened to him at the time? I don't remember them ever talking about how he was booted from the building?

The shitting on Opie by people at TACN is really starting to jump the shark starting with ant himself

Idiots in a message board obsessively shitting on Opie is okay but these guys should have more content to fill their show with than shitting in Opie. Frankly I just don't give a fuck and don't wanna hear it.

ESD crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.

Jesus-fucking-Christ how does anyone give two fucks about any of this shit?

Dave is not really funny. He got himself banned from Sirius. Any show on TACN is incapable of having a "radio war" with O&J because they have 1/100th of the listener base. Opie is best off just ignoring them. Sooner or later TACN will go under because it's a "network" which seems to be based around bashing Opie and that cannot last. Plus Anthony is on the verge of killing himself or doing something to get himself in real trouble.

Jesus fucking Christ

I called Danny a faggot in a comment once and some white knight pussy (possibly Danny on a fake account) messaged me on here saying they are going to find me etc, everybody loves sending a lil threatening email

I wish they found you.

I can't think of anything in the O&A universe I have less interest in than East Side Dave. If I was Opie I'd ban him too, just cause I don't care about him. Also, I hate Opie.

So you guys didn't take it as humor that he threatened 'the little guy' the alcoholic' and 'the blonde guy' as an obvious reference to O&A&J and clearly a joke?

A&J don't wear suits

He doesn't make specific reference to either of them wearing suits. He talks about suits and he says opie doesn't wear a suit. How scripted do you think those sentiments were? It's dave talking out of his ass, he never made a ton of sense.

Nobody gave a single fuck about him in here until he got the show.
