I think Stern was right about Anthony's firing

Imagine if Opie and Jim walked when Ant did and continued the show they were doing before on compound media. I think the show would have improved instead of deteriorating into a few shitty shows. Compound Media would be way more successful, Opie wouldn't be unemployed and Jim wouldn't be on the worst show of Sirius with a shitty exproducer who watches wrestling all day.

Does noone remember that the show absolutely sucked the last year or two it was on?

I was getting sick of Ant's everything is black people's fault attitude even back then. Now he's doubled down on it.

Nah i think he was even worse with the black shit back then.

Ant does far far less race crap than he did in the last 2 years of O&A.

They were trying to fill 4 hours a day of airtime back then. Half of the reason they let Ant go at it was that it just killed time.

It was still occasionally funny. There are many great bits from 2013-2014 worth revisiting. Just there is also tons of race talk and on air eating.

I just scanned a 2002 Hindsight Report that addressed Ant being uncomfortable while witnessing Kid Rock unveil a confederate flag during a concert.

Yes, people forgot that 2012/2013/2014 were shit. Those 2 and a half years had maybe about 1 good hour of content. Even most of the regulars stopped showing up as frequently, Their best bit was jocktober

I was already pretty much done with the show by the time Patrice died. That was the nail in the coffin.

Howard also mentioned to a caller how he would be too scared to work with Artie again and doesn't know how to handle the situation and would want to meet whoever was smart and brave enough to hire Artie.

Anthony got what he deserved. Fucking idiot should of been told he wasn't funny anymore when Artie was there to hear it. "So now were an alt right show with a live celebrity death watch?"

Anthony is just as lost as Opie and now he's starting to look like an even bigger idiot for trying to run before he could walk back into broadcasting.

Another example of Howard being smarter and outplaying Opie and Anthony once again.

The second Ant was fired he should've worked on his reputation and went after Jim. No need for Opie. Instead, he put a retired cop/volunteer fireman in charge of his business and went on skinhead shows and further alienated himself.

He did go after Jim, he claimed he offered him money upfront, just as much as Sirius was paying and Jim turned him down to work with Funbags McGee. The reputation part i agree with completely but that's only seemed to worsen.

The problem was that by the time he went after Jim, he had done white supremacist podcasts and quadrupled down on the racial shit. Jim couldn't risk his career in comedy to join anthony and still can't. By anthony joining the jim and sam show, jim can always say that it was sirius' decision.

Ant is stupid. My guess is that he believes that "pendulum will swing back" and that not-PC right wing guys will be "cool guys" in the mainstream (as opposed to PC sjw's) soon enough, so he took that direction and riding it. He loves ranting about statistics anyway, so it wasnt hard to do.

Like print media and the internet, technology will eventually free radio talent from management and corporate interests.

Being fired will cease to be a thing.

MMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

shabbidy doo dah.

Give me gold.

Sorry Herschel.

With 7 people listening no one cares what you say.

You sure got the crowd behind you there.

They couldn't even work out their own petty bullshit let alone organize a coup.

The whole paywall thing for podcasts hardly works though. Compound media is the worst with that. Just hide everything and hope people will buy subscriptions blind. Gas digital is a little better but you are still stuck with a bunch of shows you don´t want and a useless visual element. Cum town is the best. They just promise you a sketch show and never do it while talking about all the useless shit they buy and you get to feel like you enable Mullens fuel coke addiction.

Gas Digital has LOS, RAP, and High Society radio....it's worth it for the show archive alone.

I had archived LoS and HSR before they went behind the paywall and RAP only became good like this year.

Welcome to 4 years ago (Jesus Christ 4 years, what the fuck).

The thing is, no one knew how much Jim and Ant hated Opie in 2014, Ant getting fired was the spark that created the subs entire culture

would a christian go back in time and save jesus from the cross if he could?

No that would be antisemitic...

Didn't Black Earl once say he would?

Yea, he also wrote a report about dinosaurs on the Arc. Biblical Scholar of the R&F Show.

Black Rock Volume 1

Yes. He admitted on air that he would love to single-handily destroy the religion that he follows.

Why would a Christian save a Mexican?

No one? We've known they hated eachother since the WNEW days. It started going downhill a long time ago because of some dumb drama with Opie's ex-girlfriend at the time.

They used to acknowledge it on air with Opie doing that stupid voice: 'SEE I TOLD YOU THEY HATED EACHOTHER'

Ant later acknowledged it on his show and said the listeners picked up on it

Opie can only do a show where he has clout, and that would never happen at Anthony’s.

Nah i think he was even worse with the black shit back then.
