I love how angry he is that he lost his employee access to Sirus/XM. You're not an employee anymore you idiot. What, should they let you just go and use the bathrooms in the building every time you are walking by and feel the urge to take a photo?
Actually he's apparently having very important high level meetings with the folks at Twitch.tv. Since, ya know, not just anyone can make an account, start streaming, and actually start making money once they have 5 viewers at a time.
HIGH LEVEL TALKS. TOP MEN. He's basically Scorch if Scorch lacked the competency to get PFG TV off the ground.
I suspect he really did have a meeting with Twitch. He'll have got an agent to get him in the door, he was probably vague enough that they didn't say "no" outright, and then once in the meeting he pitched them a Morning Zoo radio show. He probably said "Fawk!" and "Viral" a bunch, but for some reason they didn't bite.
Well I was being sarcastic. Literally anyone can start taking donations on Twitch after getting 5 concurrent viewers. You don't need their permission or anything, they'll just contact you on your twitch account and ask you to be an affiliate, at that point you can start getting subscribers for $4.99 a month.
Once you get enough subscribers and viewers you become a partner which has some other benefits but I'm not sure what because their affiliate program is new.
So my point was he had 0 reason whatsoever to "meet with Twitch." You just create an account and go. The donations and ways people give you money are set up via a third party except for subs which go through Twitch itself.
Opie probably doesn't even realize Twitch is owned by amazon...
Oh, I know - and I agree with what you said. But just because you understand Twitch's model, doesn't mean Opie does; and if he says he's had a meeting with them, I find it very believable that he went in and pitched them a concept horrifically unsuited to their audience and business model.
Goooootcha, my bad. Sad thing is I could see him doing that, and the Twitch execs just being confused as to why he thought all of this was necessary. I mean he may have been lobbying to be partnered from Day 1, but that still won't mean anything.
Why? Why would you want to see some ill-equipped buffoon pitch a crappy morning zoo to a bunch of smart but bewildered business.... actually, that does sound pretty great.
For me it's the fecal ambience channel. Looking for audio inspiration for my avant-garde film tracking the development of one men's room stall in pictures over the course 7 years.
There isn't dead air on Sirius XM if you don't have it. It's a preview channel if nothing else . I've exposed another lie! Let me go wake up my girlfriend and tell her.
Put this in context of any other situation... this person would be un-fucking-employable.
You get fired for a litany of incidents & behavior which at very least, are sociopathic.
Then, you incessantly contact your employer on social media - bashing company & claiming your firing was unjustified. And to remove all doubt of mental illness - you contact them publicly, each week, complaining a service given to employees is no longer accessible to you........now that you've been fired.
There is no fucking way this guy has any jobs lined up. Not a serious one. No legitimate company Is giving this man a job. We're never going to hear this idiot again on a show- unless he swallows his deluded sense of pride- and takes a gig with some shit FM gig.

If by "mondays" you mean blacks, well the answer is everyone.
1 Lokque 2017-09-16
If I've learned anything from the Kumiya brothers it's that even blacks don't like blacks.

He retardedly claimed Sirius did it to "really make it (his firing) hurt".
Fuckin' imbecile.
Can't civilians buy the Sirius VIP package? And what's on there that he misses so bad it hurts? 24/7 toilet cam?
1 Theanfieldkid 2017-09-16
He really is just an unbearable pud.
1 bonniesretardsister 2017-09-16
If he's still this mad about being fire he has zero job prospects.

Who CARES about Opie right now...Joe is trying to sue us apparently.
1 radiospringy 2017-09-16
Can Opie be reported for harassing the SXM Twitter?
