Didn't they release one on Ant though and "racist and abhorrent tweets"?

it was more news worthy, i dont think anyone cares about this one it was more internal too.

Or their just embarrassed as fuck that their employee is filming other employees taking a Schumer.

The real victim was that poor toilet.

How graphic do you think that video was?

If your Schumer is too runny, u need more fiber.

Ant overshadows Tits even when it comes to being shitcanned.

As it should be.

This is one of those sites that radio companies purchase accounts for their employees at so this is probably very official

anyway to pin this comment up top?

I don't think so but people will probably be looking for a link

well its in here

Ant already tweeted it.

Yup, it's legit. They're pretty much a definitive trade mag for radio/TV.

Nice of Sirius to let Scorch make the announcement.

lmao :) wheres /u/pfg-sciple

He's totally nuude

Get that Wigger Rich on the phone, he has some work to do.

Who Fired Ya?

How will Bam fuck Lindsey now ?

with his dick in her pussy

When she makes Greg take the kids to/from school and run all of the errands.

When he's fly-fishing with BAWBEEYYYY

Your Mom's box... So your Mom's box.

The cherry on the cake is that they talk about him filming an employee on the toilet with no context or extra details whatsoever.

Male or female, doesn't matter he's a creep

If you really think that, you're a bitch

Anything other than filming a woman pissing is unacceptable behavior.

Clearly.

you're being silly gary

It would have been better if they said it was a male though.

Somebody could probably make the front page of reddit by posting, "Shock Jock known for stomping on homeless man's cake fired after secretly filming man in bathroom."

"coworker" is a better term, makes him sound more like a rapist

"Subordinate" is even better

Mentally challenged man

*Retard

Terrible execution. The homeless cake smashing has to be in the title

Got the top comment at least.

Jesus, those comments. 'The homeless guy committed suicide after!'

Funniest thing I've seen all day.

"Hecommited suicide shortly after the cake stomp" 🤣

Love how it's flaired as not appropriate subreddit

I did enjoy how subtle that was, people will form so many good stories out of that

I would literally burst a gut laughing if he ended up with a sex offender rap after all of this.

That's on some Antwan kumiya level hilarity, he's labeled a perv now

Roland wins

The day has finally come. I just don't even know what to do with myself

Listen to the great radio that is replacing his show....

oh shit.

Nah Ronnie B's still holding it down, let's just..................

At least we still have dopie jr on air

Who the last forgettable broadcaster?

Same. This came too fast.

So did i.

That's what she said! Oh hohoho

I stopped listening when ant got fired. You guys tortured yourself.

GET UP OFF YOUR ASS, SOLDIER!!

There are tons of edgy cringe comics to take down!

Let's start with those no talents Regan and Gaffigan.

It's not official until TMZ breaks it.

They don't know who he is.

They're bottom feeders. They'll report anything.

Now what?

Hopefully Ellis.

Let's get to work.

Okay I'll start.

1). Australian

2). Gay

3). Raped by his faggot father

Vocal Holocaust denier.

What. Is this for real?

Sure, I suppose.

I believe you.

the /r/opieandanthony Ministry of Truth hard at work

Target acquired

Instinctively I hit downvote. Then I realized....

I don't know but I feel like this sub is going to make things very rough for Sam Roberts now that Opie won't be around

About time.

Sam's a'ight.

As if things weren't rough for him already.

Not until Ellis is off the air.

I don't know but I feel like this sub is going to make things very rough for Sam Roberts now that Opie won't be around

I don't know but I feel like this sub is going to make things very rough for Sam Roberts now that Opie won't be around

Dopie jr

now, we cum

We sit back and wait for Opie to commit seppuku for dishonoring his family

It's over. Time to more on and give Sam the treatment he deserves.

Will Cumia take him in? Or will he start his own "network".

I hear he plans on making his own zine by folding printer paper in half and using crayons. The working name is Oqie's Periododical.

Vurry gude...

This is the chance he's been waiting for to start his modeling career.

Whenever I listen to old shows and Opie goes on and on about a viral video I'm going to be so happy it finally bit him in the ass.

its truly poetic beauty

It's like poetry, see, they rhyme.

Damn, even George Lucas dropping by to gloat, you hack fraud!!

Oh my gahhhd!

You know what they say, live by the sword die by the sword. 😝

You know what they say, if you play with fire you're gonna get burned. 😝

Does this mean Anthony wasn't holding Opie back?

Anthony wants that more than anything in the world, but I doubt it happens. Opie would have to be all out of options.

Anthony went back to dopies tits after come pound media is making more 💰 than sxm

Anthony's barely keeping his head above water

This is one for the history books fellas.

I COULD HAVE BEEN A MODEL!

Like a fart in a breeze he's gone. Its over. The war is done. There will be a few pockets of resistance left but he's lost.

In a year we'll be like those old Jap soldiers they found on Pacific Islands in the 1960s who still thought the war was going on.

The passing by ships will hear distant echoes of: "Bam is the father of Opie's kids...."

We've kinda been that since October really.

It's gonna be weird now, where will we direct the largest portion of our boundless hate?

i want to still hate opie, i hated him all year without listening to him so I'll just keep doing that

Since 2015, really.

I had no idea this happened. I was a huge O&A guy for a few years. I finally let it go in 2015 when I grew to realize that Opie and Ant were both worthless. I've been checking in every few months to see if anything changed. Opie got fired and I had no clue until I came here a month later. Really speaks to how irrelevant he was.

Big, pendulous, hanging pockets of resistance.

Who, exactly, won then?

Glad they announced it so the cunt doesn't have a chance to capitalize on the precariousness and make his fucking stupid beach videos

Here's to afternoon drive radio in Albany, Opester!

What the fuck is he fired for anyways?

doesn't have a chance to capitalize on the precariousness

Looks like the vague statement "SIRIUSXM does not publicly discuss internal personnel issues" kind of hands him that precariousness.

But it would be clever if it were a play on their part to deny giving him a single issue to rail over for the next few years. Anthony still talks about the technicalities of the twitter episode. Fans still use it as a rallying point. Imagine if he wasn't given any direct reason?

Gregg's infractions are already documented. There's even a daily mail article about him breaking into the Stern office. The public eye already has plenty of reasons.

If XM kept it vague and let him stew on the potentials it would be a much harsher punishment and more effective for them.

Sxm was shitting their 👖👖👖 when the three autistic men stand with ant

How pathetic. I always thought it was odd how obsessed Opie was with trying to start shit with Stern in 06 and 07. Sure, Stern may have been worried for a few minutes about their success, but today? Stern couldn't give a fuck about Opie. Its sad

Howard stern has a net worth of $600 MILLION DOLLARS and his salary is $90 million a year.

Opie is a fucking pimple on his ass. He was never threatened by O&A in any serious way. I mean sure he's a spiteful prick and all that, but let's get real here. O&A were never operating at anywhere near the same level as Stern, even at their peak.

They were easily #2 to Howard for a while though. Doesn't mean he was scared of them but there's no way they weren't always on his radar back in the early days of XM.

I've been listening to some old shows from the time that Howard was leaving regular radio and heading to Sirius. Opie was terrified and trying to cover it up with rage.

They also talked about a few times when they were at WNEW and Howard had them banned from company events. It came across like Howard was physically afraid of Opie, and now we see why. He's a legitimate psychopath with zero concern for other human beings.

I can't imagine Ant or Jimmy causing the same conflict with Howard. Only one of them was obsessed with the 'competition' besides the annoying fans calling in. Anthony just made fun of the deteriorating quality of his show and doing impressions.

It did make business sense back in the day to make it seem like they were in competition. It's good seeming like the underdog and it communicates you're on his level to even compete.

Exactly. This is an aggregate of offenses, a summation of the last few years....

1) Opie being difficult with re-signing, putting other employees jobs in jeopardy

2) Antagonizing Stern to point where hallways are shut when he arrives and leaves each day

3) In earlier years, walking around in disgusting sweatpants with his ass and breasts hanging out

4) Breaking into Stern's wing of the SXM building, and FILMING the fiasco

5) His well documented torture of the homless, disabled, and mentally ill - posted on his webpage for monetary gain.

Opie is already trying to explain away the Stern break in event on his twitter. By not giving an explicit reason they've denied Opie a direct target to dissect and attempt to atone for. It's pretty fucking genius.

Fact is none of this would matter if he was pulling in ratings. Look at the shit management used to put up with from O&A back when they were at the top of their game.

You can either be an asshole or you can have shitty ratings, but you can't be an asshole who gets shitty ratings.

For real that video of him handing ol' walrus arms in a wheel chair money makes me fucking sick.

Holy shit, I hope 5) is a joke point. Unless you're one of the retards who think the cake stomping incident was cruel or bad (hint: that bum was paid handsomely every fucking day, nobody should give a shit about his cake). If anything, Opie's antics were among the few really good qualities of his, in terms of gluing together the show. That and general direction of the old show.

I wonder if he'd signed a longer contract if he might have weathered the storm, but since he insisted on a year (if it was him that insisted), it was an easy call to just say "the hell with it, pay him until October, find the next show".

Even if the Roland thing was settled, which I don't know that it was, his entire last show was basically him bullying Paul for taking Roland's side until he finally had enough and walked out. That can easily be construed as creating a hostile and unsafe work environment, which seems to be part of it based on Opie tweeting the Howard hallway video again and claiming THAT was a hostile and unsafe work environment for him but he let it slide maaaaan.

Fair point, believe me all signs point to it being the Roland issue, and I'm not putting that to bed. It's just weird because like I said he seemed to make it worse by bringing it up on air

That's exactly right, who knows if this happens if he doesn't do what he did on that last show.

I imagine the Roland thing was a big deal behind the scenes, and just as it was about to be resolved Paul went and quit the show live on air.

Opie would probably still have his job if he'd just remembered to... leave it alone.

roland is really fucking fat by the way

You know I had heard rumors...

Did you?

You mean that a guy who loves food enough have his own eating show is a fatass? Whodathunk?

The Roland issue might be the excuse but the real reason was the same as Ant's firing- they are trying to get rid of Opie/Ant's contract expenses.

This is it, exactly. If Sirius would have thought that Opie was bringing the numbahz, he could have rode this all out easily. But anyone could see that Opie's show was awful. Management no longer saw any reason to continue putting up with his bullshit.

Management loves the direction of the show.

For the first time ever, this is actually true.

The direction being exit stage left

You don't think paying him millions for no listeners and zero positive feedback was worth it to them?

Nnnnnoooooo!!!!

Even if the Roland thing was settled, which I don't know that it was, his entire last show was basically him bullying a subordinate for taking Roland's side until Paul finally had enough and walked out.

This doesn't seem any different than what they've done in the past. Either it was unrelated or all the producer bits have been fake, which I can also believe.

He had more eyes on him though, i would bet he was on thin ice after the whole Stern thing, they where probably sick of his his shit considering how much they where paying him and how difficult he was. and on the other side Jim is a pretty loyal company man and Sam would grovel for 20% of what they where paying Opie.

This was different though. This wasn't some "funny" bit for the radio. Opie crossed the line with an employee (and the way people talk about it, he seems to have gone beyond simply filming Roland while he took a shit), and one of Opie's employees supported Roland who was his friend and coworker. Opie then retaliated against his employee because of this, despite the employee doing the right thing and doing what his other bosses that are higher up than Opie would want him to do. Also apparently Opie was already mad at Roland and was trying to get him fired because he blamed him for not being able to get any good guests, so the bathroom incident might not have been just in good fun. Opie is completely falling apart and is lashing out at other SiriusXM employees, and the company can not tolerate that.

Do you think Opie is completely falling apart and lashing out?

Yes

The real problem was it was an unfunny work environment. And Sherrod is a rubber lipped cunt.

Sherrod loved to 'sleep in' and miss odd episdoes here and there.

Not a fan of dispelling stereotypes it seemed.

Much like Anthony, it seemed like the company was eager to glom on to any excuse to cut bait.

True

For sure. It's not like there wasn't a massive indicator of this sentiment last October.

I still have no idea why they took his morning slot, took his channel, but still gave him another chance at all. Probably some business-y thing where some guy could pad his resume by saying "look how much money I saved with this deal while retaining all our content." In case this hypothetical guy ends up working for a different company (most likely in a different industry) he can point to the deal as an example of good efficient resource management.

There's a TON of shittier people with shows on XM. They aren't exactly picky with their 'talent'. That fat rich girl they made of for years got her own show.

They could always find a place for him. He probably just costs too much for them or he thinks he's worth more than his show actually produced.

They may have even been unhappy with his numbers last time but gave him a new shot with a 2nd afternoon slot to see if he could maintain a user base. I doubt he really did though.

Yeah I thought about the second shot thing. I just think it's more likely that it was more a matter of cut-and-dried numbers. Not all businessmen are interested in putting out the best products they can. Not by a long shot. And a lot of them make big decisions for their own career reasons.

What if it's generally considered bad for investor confidence to shrink a company (opie is one of very few known radio talents left, and radio is their industry) to just let go of one, if they were considered, in strict economical terms, an asset? Maybe they were just waiting for a good-enough excuse. And one involving a fat man's feces was perfect.

That's a good point, appearance of success is often as important as real success for public companies with sharesholders.

It's likely shareholders pay attention to their talent pool so it could look bad if their #2 shock jock show totally shut down after Ant left. So that gave him some extra leeway to work with even when his numbers dropped.

Shareholders can't complain about serious HR disputes with a guy like Roland who books celebrities for multiple shows when they shut down the show.

The big difference is as much as they shit on Jenny Hutt...she generally seems to at least be a nice person and doesn't film people in the bathroom lol

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this shit with Opie and Roland is more extensive than they're letting on. There were probably other complaints made either by him or other staff members (everyone hates him) and this was just the last straw.

Or they knew they weren't going to re-sign him, so they just used this to cut bait.

It's not like he was the apple of their eye before this.

He's been retardedly overplaying his hand since Anthony got fired.

If they knew they wouldn't re-sign him then just don't re-sign him, it's way more work and trouble to fire someone.

Not if he makes it that easy, it's not. He filmed an obese retard shitting. Technically, he probably committed a crime.

There's no grey area here, and it's not a "he said/fatter he said" situation.

Management/HR/Sirius' legal team isn't losing a second's sleep over this.

There's also the "don't give Tits the opportunity to cause more problems on his way out the door" factor. Firing him now was the prudent move.

He's still probably getting a nice severance package regardless.

You don't get severance when you're fired, dummy.

That's not always true, at least where I'm from. Getting let go from a job you've worked at for 5+yrs means you can get quite a bit.

I know an employment lawyer and getting fired does not necessarily mean you get nothing. I've heard of people getting fired for sexual harassment who got 8 months pay. The key is how long you worked there and individual state/provincial rights.

I think the fact that Gregg broke NY State labor laws will ensure they don't pay him another dime. It may even be a clause in his contract. I don't really care enough to argue it further.

It's not technical, like I posted above, he broke the law doing it, and put the company into a position of liability.

This also lets them off the hook for paying out his contract, most likely.

And yes, the suits are snoring peacefully tonight.

How has he been overplaying his hand ?

He valued himself much, much, much higher than anyone else did.

Almost everybody does. With very few exceptions if you piss off the wrong people, do a bad job, or demand too much money (or some combination of the three), somebody else will be sitting in your seat sooner rather than later.

Eh in showbiz it comes down to talent and money. He could get away with all three of those if he was a big deal like Howard.

It likely came down to his show's popularity declining and losing both co-hosts (and his talent booker and show producers last year) which makes his show hard to market. He just became too much of a burden and liability which his stature no longer compensates for.

Look at the way he treated Steve C. He'd drag the guy on the air and shit on him for an hour about how he didn't do anything or get any work done. Meanwhile Steve is having to ignore all the calls he's getting while tough guy Opie is lambasting him with insults.

Opie tried to get Roland fired shortly before the poop tape

Talk to anyone who works in HR. Gregg put the company in a really precarious position - Roland could sue both for big numbers for harassment, possibly even report this to the cops. "According to the article May My Business in New York Secretly Make a Video Recording of Its Employees in the Workplace? via the LexisNexis® Legal Newsroom | Labor & Employment Law Blog, employers in New York State are prohibited from causing a video recording to be made of employees in a restroom, locker room, or room designated by an employer for employees to change their clothes, unless authorized by court order. N.Y. Labor Law § 203-c(1). Consequently, absent a court order, an employer in New York should never install a surveillance camera in any of the above-mentioned areas in the workplace." https://www.lextalk.com/b/lextalk_blog/archive/2014/05/07/can-new-york-employers-secretly-video-their-employees-in-the-workplace.aspx The article says, if audio is captured, it's now a class e felony. Gregg was Roland's supervisor. He broke the law recording him, and if there's audio, it's a felony. There may be police charges, as they may be required to report incidents like this upon discovery. Gregg's stunt with Howard's office was easy to skate on, as he didn't break any laws. This is different. It all depends on what Roland did, if he just went to HR and complained, or if he also contacted the police. And if he intends to sue. Any of that is reason to fire Gregg immediately. This ain't over yet. There's a chance you might see Gregg arrested. Roland could take Sirius and Gregg for millions, this is a MAJOR fuck up by Gregg. It's insane how he thought he could gloss this over with his "inner circle" bullshit. That might be why he's not commenting about on twitter, his lawyer almost definitely told him to shut the fuck up. My bet is on Ant dishing the dirt on this eventually. We'll get the whole store one day.

This right here.

All you people saying that they fired him because his show sucks: you're wrong.

This was purely a human resources event. Opie exposed himself and his employer to a HUGE lawsuit. It doesn't matter WHERE you are on the totem pole, that's going to get you fired.

It's also why guys need to avoid sexual harassment cases like the plague. Never date ANYONE at work. HP sacked their CEO over that!

SXM clearly don't give a shit whether or not their shows suck.

Here's to afternoon drive radio in Albany

We listen to Sirius here in Albany anyway.

What the fuck is he fired for anyways?

His bullshit outweighed his appeal. I think it's probably as simple as that. He just wasn't enough of a draw for people to overlook it when he was a pain in the ass.

He was fired for filming an employee in a bathroom. That's against NY. State labor laws. He put Sirius into a precarious position for lawsuits by Roland - and the laws specifically make it easier for a victim to get paid. This would be a firing offense in any company in NY State. The part I'm wondering is if they have to report it - the article I posted later in the thread says that if audio is captured, that's automatically a felony, and they may have to report it to the police when they learn of it. These things take time for the lawyers to work through, to get to the point they fire someone. They're now in a position where everything might be taken as evidence in a lawsuit, or criminal court. You don't move fast, you cross your t's and dot your i's. I'm sure there have been many meetings with lawyers, possibly with lawyers representing Roland, and them getting all the info they can on the case, before moving.

If he's in the kind of trouble I think he's in - nobody in Albany will hire him, or anywhere else. This is career killing stuff. I hope to god he has fuck you money, because his career is most likely over, for good.

We don't want him in Albany.

Won't see him no more.

He's gone, and there's nothing we could do.

This has better be the most upvoted post in this sub history

Don't give stinks your karma.

Send Sherrod back to the fields!

Strap that tongue to the irrigation pump.

Sherrod popped up on Legion of Skanks and ruined a great episode this week.

In the comments:

To those of you who don't know, he was filming a mentally handicapped employee in the mens room in a mocking fashion. despicable, I'm glad they did the right thing.

LOL

Jocktobered even as he's dying...the horror...

Opie - "oh boy, I'm screwed".

At least Opie still has his manufacturing enterprise of catchphrase t-shirts,coffee cups, mousepaqs, and autographed iPhone photos to fall back on.

Actually he uses Samsungs like all the other autistic out there

Opie was one of those idiots who got the touch screen blackberry phone that was absolute garbage.

who is Opie?

Is this real life?

Opie and Anthony always win in the end, right fellas?

According to Jim hes making more money already

Jim who? Belushi? Tssss

did they ever find father dorris?

This is how we do it, right Father Doris?

Christmas in Julahy everybody, Christmas in Julahy!!!

Jimmy drops Sam off at the zoo, Anthony joins BLMs as the Sicilian he is, and Opie bends the knee. all is forgiven.

We absolutely planned to (sniff) both get fired three years apart during summer break being creeps with cameras. Period. These fawkingggg DUMMMies don't get that!

this one made me laugh

Machiavelli with hooters

Opie has to register as a sex offender now.

Whoaaaa is that true???

Gonna smash my radio for old times sake. Have to figure out how to separate it from the navigation system first.

You can always drive into a tree

This is the best timeline

Can anyway explain to me the Roland situation? I didn't hear about it.

I am so glad Gregorious is gone.

Read the other stickied post

Opie took vid of Roland poopin.

WHAT WILL WE DO WITH ALL OUR HATE NOW!!!!!

Jim and Sam, easy to do shows horrible

I was beginning to worry that it was just a suspension

I'm sure SiriusXM will soon regret this move. Is there any media reports yet of protests outside their building?

SherrodsTwitterArmy

smo....king

Fucking Opie is acting like nothing happened on Twitter.

Fucking guy is reaching out to Cumio. Fucking Cumia will probably hire him for his failing Media

he will 100% try

Opie is like "AnthonyCumia thanks for the texts and especially the laughs...it's really appreciated.". The guy both publicly and privately ridiculed Opie for years and now he's warming up to him since he lost his job. Where's his INTEGRITY?

theyve been buttbuddying it up lately

Erock rubbed off on him

omg omg omg the variety article.......... OMFGGGGGGGGG This still doesn't feel real!!

theres a good thread at 4ch tv about this, recommend going there

Sniff

YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!

what will you sad young men talk about from now on?

OH IS THIS THE ISSUE OF THE DAY?

We did it fam, what a great day

AAHHHHHHAHHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA

deep inhale

AHAHHAHAHAAAAAAHHHAAAAAAAAA.

They should move Nick Dip into his slot.

To all the fuckin haterz out there, I did this on purpose. It was time for me to move on. Nice try with the hate tho

sniff

This is the first piece of news I've ever felt a reaction to. Tsunamis, earthquakes, terrorist attacks? Meh.

Obscure radio host Gregg Hughes reaping what he sowed? PRICELESS!

Thoughts n' prayers ya fuckin' prick.

Just like that, our FLORIDA RADIO FANTASY CREW CREW CREW loses its ties to the radio industry. The Opie secret agent office has closed and locked its doors never to be open again. I talked to Erock and between bites of his hoagie he was crying like an infant. Time to rummage through the strippers lockers and steal some heroin and start a gofundme for pocket money. I need a ride somewhere can someone hook me up?

If somebody told you years ago that somebody from the show would be fired for fighting with a prostitute, and somebody else would be fired for taking creepshots of a man in a bathroom, week would believe that neither of them would be Jimmy?

This should be much higher up.

Why should this be higher up? Your comment is so blah

Speaking of higher ups they fired Opie

I might finally resubscribe now

If only they'd rehire Anthony

This comment should be gilded 😂😂😂

There you go.

Fag

Awesome perspective dude.

Lol.

That was funny! And true

Jim mentioned this comment on the show this morning. Well done, if you really thought of it first.

Really? That's awesome! I'll have to go back and listen. Do you know when in the show it was?

Good.

Let's see what we can do about Ellis.

Thanks!

Well done. I laughed hard when Jim said that.

What will you losers do now?

idk probably start turning on individual members. starting with joyomi

Maybe sherrod will get a show.

buh bye tits McGee!

so Erock is out of gig now ...

So now comes the opie and and Anthony reunion and nobody gives a fuck

And Vic Henley sighs, goes out to the garage, and pulls the dusty tarp off his meat delivery truck.

At least it's right before Auburn football.

And slides the garden hose into the tailpipe

Henley is legitimately funny and a friendly guy. I like him.

What is the difference between Denny and Opie?

Denny is a radio personality.

Wrong!

Denny has a job.

A job... as a radio personality. I thought that was understood.

AhHpiE's CoNtrAcT wAs rEnEwEd

Wait, it was ??

... APRHEL FALLLLLLLLLS!

I stopped listening to Anthony and Opie years ago but still stayed subbed here for the vitriol. The way you guys come together to hate things is really uplifting and bolsters my hope the idea of community.

What will you guys hate now tho? I feel like everyone in this sub sorta feels like a car chasing dog who has somehow actually caught a car.

Opie will try something...he can't go without attention

Can't wait to hear about it from yous guys

Not me...I can't listen to him...but I do like to listen to the highlights posted haha

why did you stop listning, what was your substitute for O&A?

Ted X Talks and this guy

wonder what he'll do for a basic income

Did someone say Basic Income, aka Universal Basic Income (UBI)?! I'm a bot that gives shout-outs to people talking about Basic Income!!! And mandatory encouragement to join the sub dedicated to Basic Income!

In case you don't know, Basic Income is essentially free money given to everyone by the Government. Most economicists, including right-wing libertarian economicists like Milton Friedman, are strongly in favor of such a concept. And as automation becomes a huge issue and will cause an employment crisis in the next 2 years, it is absolutely necessary to prevent people from starving.

The amount varies by proposal, but some are as low as $2,000-$3,000 a month in free money while most recommend at least $50,000 to pay a livable wage. The best part is that this is all paid for by additional taxation on the richest 1% who are hording their welcome, stagnating wages, and causing economic depression with all of the power they have accumulated.

The vast majority of people support Basic Income and it is on target to be the top issue in the 2018 midterms. Unfortunately there are a lot of absolutely retarted people out there that will vote against their own best interests and free money. These people are to extreme to be taking seriously and need to be fought against.

Please see the Basic Income subreddit for more information about how to be politcally active in this very important issue!

What the fuck is this

Something talking about Universal Basic Income

No rich Vos or peckas? Nigga we made it!!

I sure wonder how the talk at home went when explaining how the world is against him and the unjust firing..

From the new CBS article

Hughe’s termination truncates the end of an era for personality driven talk radio, most prominently popularized by Opie & Anthony, whose legacy stretched more than 20 years, and current SiriusXM host Howard Stern.

:(

That line up was seriously the greatest

I like turtles, fawk yeah

is that it? are we done now

Next target, Sam Roberts

So now what do we do?

Bye, Opie. It was a pleasure - NOT!

hahaha holy shit—never thought i'd see the day

Yet he got away with Big Boy Makes A Doodie

I can't believe Jimmy outlasted both Opie and Anthony at Sirius. Especially when it always seemed like Jimmy was the one who was more interested in doing movies and becoming a bigger star in Hollywood. He always seemed like he was the one willing to walk away the most to do a podcast while the other two were more than comfortable falling back on the guaranteed money.

Jimmy is the true king of the iron throne/fist.

JIMMY is in it for JIMMY. If he COULD get something BETTER, he would have LEFT long ago. He can't THOUGH. His RECURRING sketches on LENO went NOWHERE. His OPENERS have surpassed HIM. They got TV deals and have STARRED in movies. PIGGY is BIGGEST "female" COMIC in industry.

He wanted to KEEP the SIRIUS job because he needs the INCOME. That is what it was ABOUT. IF JIMMY's talk show was half as SUCCESSFUL as "SCORCH's 'PFG-TV'", then JIMMY would have left RADIO years ago.

How long until Opie shows up on Live From The Compound?

Well now Anthony's network is going to be overflooded with New York cities hack comedians. Woooo!

Jazz it up!

Sirius fires fat titted sloth.

Holy shit, its real.

Random comment on the variety article ''Is this the guy who shared his wife with Bam Bam Bigelow in a x-rated private video?'' Heh.

60 year old man fired for taking pics of another man in the bathroom. How fucking embarrassing.

Opie is a nazi.

So he was fired for taking pics of a man in the bathroom?

Faggit.

I'm so happy but also kind of slightly disappointed he wasn't fired for being so shitty at his job. Is there any chance that's the actual reason instead of a bathroom creepshot? Cause that's what he deserves

I picked the worst week to not pay attention to this sub. What the fuck

So we can finally put this sub to rest? Nah...

That goddamn drawing someone made of Opie and all his buddies under the stall while Roland is shitting is the funniest shit I've ever seen on the internet. It makes Opie's firing well worth it. We all know he'll get another gig easily if he doesn't kill himself first.

No he won't lol where? For ant for 5% of what they paid him at Sirius

Norton could stay on, bringing the show to its Live With Kelly And Michael phase of existence

haha this is a pretty solid slam, even though AV club is a huffpo-tier garbage chute

It's pretty funny how this broad has basically no knowledge of the show, referring to Morton as a "frequent guest."

AV club is basically another buzzfeed, gawker, huffpo type of online outlet. hard ideological left. you can expect them to put subtle angry spin on OnA even if they don't know anything about it.

I don't think you're familiar with how HuffingtonPost works; they're a pyramid scheme with no central structure that only operates based on ad revenue. There's no editorial board, no guiding philosophy besides profit.

You are an autistic bean counter who can't understand human nature if it were explained to him, let alone through the intuition that non-disabled people have. Refrain from talking again of "guiding philosophy" unless it is a conversation about libertarianism.

What the fuck?

Don't take it personally.

There's no way I could, because it has no basis in reality. It's delusional rambling.

We say what we can to feel better. I understand.

7/10 got me to reply

Can you please explain to me what you mean by "autistic bean counter?" Do you think I'm an accountant? I am genuinely confused.

Riffing on you taking the economic look at huff po without any awareness that it's a hub for hardcore, ideological libs motivated by sincere convictions and not merely automatons attempting to rake in cash. It was an aggressive, over the top assumption.

Oh, so you're just retarded.

As retarded as you are upset.

So you're not retarded.

You're proving my point about being autistic fwiw

Am I?

oh these youngsters and their cellphones

The only thing I didn't like about the Opie show was OPIE... Sherrod and the rest of that hang minus jim Norton are hilarious... Keep them... Shit.. Give Sherrod a show.... He'd kill it.... None of them can top ELLIS anyways

Sherrod is worse than opie

I hear he plans on making his own zine by folding printer paper in half and using crayons. The working name is Oqie's Periododical.

Vurry gude...

This is the chance he's been waiting for to start his modeling career.

I believe you.

Eh in showbiz it comes down to talent and money. He could get away with all three of those if he was a big deal like Howard.

It likely came down to his show's popularity declining and losing both co-hosts (and his talent booker and show producers last year) which makes his show hard to market. He just became too much of a burden and liability which his stature no longer compensates for.

Yeah I thought about the second shot thing. I just think it's more likely that it was more a matter of cut-and-dried numbers. Not all businessmen are interested in putting out the best products they can. Not by a long shot. And a lot of them make big decisions for their own career reasons.

What if it's generally considered bad for investor confidence to shrink a company (opie is one of very few known radio talents left, and radio is their industry) to just let go of one, if they were considered, in strict economical terms, an asset? Maybe they were just waiting for a good-enough excuse. And one involving a fat man's feces was perfect.

The big difference is as much as they shit on Jenny Hutt...she generally seems to at least be a nice person and doesn't film people in the bathroom lol

You are an autistic bean counter who can't understand human nature if it were explained to him, let alone through the intuition that non-disabled people have. Refrain from talking again of "guiding philosophy" unless it is a conversation about libertarianism.

Ok fine they ALL suck
