It sounded like Opie didn't want to work mornings anymore. Probably to not have to wake up and because it was exhausting to have to manage getting those two showing up in the morning. Management didn't even want to talk to Cumia.
Only one he played was himself lol. Him and his 10 viewers today for his beach livestreams haha. Guy was the most criminally overpaid guy in radio history.
Opie keeps saying, "we're moving to afternoons," as though he's joking but apparently he was the one driving that idea. It seems so obvious listening to this now because Opie quickly diverts the conversation to talking about SiriusXM undermining the show. It's like he was uncomfortable listening to Ant rant about not wanting to move to afternoons and quickly changed the subject. Somehow a clip that began with Anthony bitching about the afternoons wound up being about Opie bitching about Howard.
33:10 something not being said is Opie was the one pushing for all of this. Which is why he gets defensive of the argument for going to afternoons lmao
They were waiting for reasons to fire them both, they would've gotten away with tweets and bathroom pics if it was 8-10 years earlier. The better SXM did in market share the less they needed O&A.
Opie got fired in this universe too. Also Jim would probably be convinced by Opie, that he's the real radio guy and that moving on with him would be the stable paycheck.
Anthony and Jimmy wouldn't have gotten many new subs in 2014 but they would have been revered as the Godfathers of modern podcasting in the late 2010s and probably would have tripled the subs. I'm just wondering if a tripled number would be much more relevant to the overall SXM subscriptions.
Listening to this directly after a “Howard moves to Sirius” segment is hilarious. They were SO SURE that XM was the only game in town…fast forward several years later, Stern and Sirius buy out XM and stuff these guys in a back closet somewhere, serving this show the most humiliating piss facial of its career lol
Any video that's titled "Ant hates.... (person)" I just have to watch it. Ant is the best at expressing disapproval, and in combination with his impressions he's so entertaining when he's pissed off.
Opie was so bad at lying and playing his cards. It’s so obvious at this point he’s trying to lull the other guys into an afternoon slot. You could take a class on Opie’s use of passive aggression
Exactly. When Jim says “everyone’s telling us to do a podcast.” Opie mumbles “nah I’m gonna raise a couple kids. You have fun though. I’ll check in everyone once in a while.”
it’s interesting how opie complains about being the one underpaid when one of the “bits” of the show was how underpaid the ENTIRE staff was, most only making barely enough to survive in nyc. east side dave was forced to quit after not getting a raise because he wasn’t making enough to continue to make the commute from jersey, when black earl quit they just phased out the executive producer position on the R&F show to save money, and steve c was fired because they felt he didn’t contribute enough to the show. i’m not saying they shouldn’t have gotten paid more but i am saying opie had no clue how fucking lucky he was to have a successful job in radio, anthony & jimmy never complained about pay and to me that speaks volumes
When did this air? If this was close to Ant's firing, well... there may be some correlation. The ulterior motive was Opie working behind Ant and Jim's backs. That's what was going on lol
'Anthates' is also name of a greek myth, the man who would put on animal fur skullcap for wear & then ascent through the sky with bare hairless arms looking for children to sing the karaoke
Opie is really sounding like he's trying to undermine the show from inside here. He clearly only cares about himself Makes you wonder if Opie asked Tim Sabian to float Opie's little sneaky ideas as his own
I think this episode is the greatest proof that Ant and Jimmy’s side of the story is true. You can tell that Opie was behind the scenes trying to do what he wanted, destroy the O&A show.
I just listened to him talking with someone and he (any) was describing how miserable morning radio was because of the hours and how great afternoon radio was because you could sleep in and go out at night. I think this “I’m not doing afternoons” schtick was all for the air.
Its funny that ant and tim get along perfectly now, but you know ope was of course somehow fucked over by TS (I dont know this for a fact, but considering thats the case with every other person remotely involved in O&A and i saw tim on compound media)
There’s a clip of Jim on J&S responding to a bunch of Opie’s usual nonsense tweeting. Opie was accusing Jim and Sam of “taking” the morning time slot and both Jim and Sam specifically mentioned how Opie used to _want_ afternoons… But of course, that’s not how the Opester remembers it. There is really no winning with him sometimes, it must be so exhausting for everyone. 😪
I remember when Sabean would pop in on the Stern Show and kiss Howard's feet relentlessly. He was such a Yes man to Howard, especially when he was being chastised for something.
I remember when he shit all over the bathroom and wouldn't admit it was him until Stern threatened to do DNA tests on it. Just showed what a dishonest, sneaky, scumbag he was so it's no surprise he got on well with Opie.
He tried to make it sound like he was joking but he was too adament the way ye kept bringing up "moving to afternoons". He kept saying, "oh it's happening." then he would fake laugh like it was a joke. After Anthony got knocked off, and Jim and Opie split but before Opie was fired too, didn't Opie do afternoons for awhile? I seem to remember that he did. I think he wanted that at this point for some reason.
Also, the treatment the guys got in the end was from making enemies, eventually the brass wanted them gone despite that being bad for the bottom line. The brass hated Howard as well, but couldn't lose him, so they blew him even after he sued SXM
Honestly, I really don’t think it was THAT bad for Sirius’ bottom line. That show cost, what…probably $5 million a year? Were they *really* pulling in those kinds of subscriptions? I mean, it’s possible…but it’s not like they were responsible for some large percentage of their revenue…even with ads. That much, I’m definitely sure of.
Tim sabean was Howard’s producer for years and years. I would not be surprised if he was a double agent type of deal that wanted to force o&a to afternoons so Howard could reign king supreme of mornings. Tim is definitely that type of dude. He would definitely try some underhanded shit like that but was always too much of a buffoon to get anything done. I don’t like tim. Never have, even on Howard’s show. Company man.
I listened to a Tim Sabean interview on Artie Lange's podcast and he didn't seem like a bad guy. I think the problem was the "Howard First" SXM corporate policy.
You can completely see that Opie was the one who was pushing for this behind the scenes. That's why he's not mad. And he wonders why no one talks to his ass anymore?!!!!
Remember when the shows split and The Op’ster went to the afternoon? I’m listening to this and thinking moving to afternoons was his idea and asked the suits to take the hit.
At this point all the guys were totally gone and delusional, management wanted them gone from mornings so they could play an actual, fun radio show they wouldn't have to be embarrassed off and get ratings and sponsors, not to play their stupid replays from yesterday's afternoon.
Opies juvenile reasoning should be a surprise but it's not. You're contracted to do something. You can't choose to do more when it suits you and less when you want to. Saying he's underpaid makes me sick.
Did you even listen? The point they were making (and I say 'they' because Opie and Anthony were both complaing not just Opie) is that their contract states their day ends at 10 and Oliver Stone was going to be later than that. And speaking of Juvenile, Ant is the one screaming and swearing and throwing a temper tantrum.
2024 ...... Ope has a little podcast that draws ..... literally - less than a hundred people a day on FB, and on YT he can't garner a dozen comments with his offerings. Cumia has a very, very successful media company in Compound Media. I think we finally know who was the rudder, and who were the very powerful engines on this show (SHOUT OUT to Jimmy). BTW, calling Hughes the "rudder" is being extremely generous.
I wonder why Ant was so adamant about not going to afternoons. Afternoon seems like a much better fit for his lifestyle. And TBH I always thought O&A worked better in the afternoons.
Its really kinda sus that that guy worked for howard before, then tried to change the time of the show, so they wouldnt compete with howard. I kinda feel like that guy was a saboteur..?
Howard sucks. That guy was a total tool. At least these guys are genuine. Maybe you should listen to one of their good shows when they are actually funny instead of pissed off lmao
1000% this was Opie's plan that he was trying to push through with Tim's help
Opie 100% had been talking to Tim about moving the show time.
Oh for sure. I think Ant confirmed it years later in one of his rants.

There is so much tension between Ant and Ope simmering beneath the surface, which they obviously could not acknowledge on air.

east side dave was forced to quit after not getting a raise because he wasn’t making enough to continue to make the commute from jersey, when black earl quit they just phased out the executive producer position on the R&F show to save money, and steve c was fired because they felt he didn’t contribute enough to the show.

I though Steve got fired for hitting an intern
“Steve c was fired cause they” no that was just opies doing
East side was such a perfect fit to, really fuckedup by not giving him money
Wasn't that shocking to hear? Opie says "We're way underpaid", signs contract for millions for 4 hours of work a day
When did this air? If this was close to Ant's firing, well... there may be some correlation. The ulterior motive was Opie working behind Ant and Jim's backs. That's what was going on lol
I vaguely remember it being in 2014. But there’s so many incidences of management being absolute shit and Opie being a backhanded shit.
This was on the 6th of November 2013, Tim Sabean had only become Opie and Anthony's program director just less than 2 months prior to this rant.
Ah there you go, I was off by a few months.
It's so obvious
