How much longer would O&A would have lasted?

[CuckQueen]

If Ant hadn't been taking creep shots of a creature of the night and then had a twitter tantrum how long do you think the show would go on?

 

[Mr. Faggotry]

Totally depends on how willing either of them would have been to take some serious pay cuts in the future. I think Cumia would have been more willing to sign a longer term cheap deal while Opie would “walk” out of pride.

 

[Camel Clutch]

Sirius doesn't usually fire people very often. They would have had to take pay cuts but they could still be on the air if they played it safe and just did a boring show.

 

[Patty's Stubby Fingers]

Til the next contract, they weren't friends for the past 15 years, hatred each other after the pussy ass won't look at me text. So 2 years tops depending on when they last signed

 

[Dennyislife]

They'd still be going now if Anthony could behave.

 

[SwampYankee]

Let's face it. The show was dead for years. Once the race rants started, that was the end. You had one guy playing Candy Crush, the other spewing Fox News talking points and the Hole staring at his phone all show. They killed the show, their ratings and the value of the contracts themselves. Ending it was a mercy killing.

Stern is still there, so I'm guessing they would be as well.

 

[PatheticIfTrue]

Sirius wanted their contracts and brand gone. They would have found something to justify it.

And there is no way any of them would have been able to survive the shift to MeToo/Cancel culture without completely neutering themselves and pretending all of that was a different ere (like Howard, like Opie attempted)

 

[Camel Clutch]

They'd still be going now if Anthony could behave.

Opie would have also had to accept that it's not 2006 anymore and he couldn't be an asshole to management without getting fired.

 

[HotDogJoe]

I'm so glad it ended when it did. The subreddit and all the shenanigans that went on there were way more entertaining than the show was towards the end.

 

[Mikekeke]

Until one of them died. The only thing that upsets me is missing out on the Super Shows. I was one of the tards that liked Lady Di and Bobo stuff so that's all I looked forward to in between the race and Kardashian talk.

 

[AWetBlanket]

Reset the apology clock!

Stern reinvented himself for the MeToo era. Opie would have done this, AntH would not.

 

[PatheticIfTrue]

Reset the account apology clock!

Jesus was that a boring bit. I keep forgetting how much the show sucked towards the end.

 

[UnPRePared]

These lazy fucks would've continued their simmering hatred for each other, hiding it like tween girls at the lunch table.

Ant would've still had the Dani GoBitely Incident and been arrested - at a prime time for Sirius to void his contract, no less. Even if he survived that somehow, he still would've had the Sue (Ride The) Lightning Incident, and you relentless fucking godsends would've bombed the show with "A Boy Named Sue" jokes and "Little boy Sue come blow my horn" calls, while #TreeFortSueJEEBJEEBJEEBJEEB would be trending on Twitter.

There was no good way the show could've ended. I've binged them during tour down-time, from old to newest, and it's very clear how the TTTEEENNNNSSIIIIIIIIOOONNN increases between the two. Barring a murder-suicide live on-air, Anthony himself was always going to destroy the show because of his addictions and impulses.

 

[Gay Faggot.]

It would’ve gone on to this day. You people seem to forget. Opie and AntH hated each other and still signed contracts. It’s not like it started 1 year before ant got beat up by a girl. They were more like stern than they wanted to admit. Maybe one good show a week, super shows, jocktober, and phone in the rest. That was it. Work 4 days a week in the summer, then complain about stern not working at all. They would have just kept going, changing barely anything. At the end of the day they are all lazy, talentless fucks without each other. Has Norton even put out a special or ANYTHING since ant got fired? If he did I don’t think anyone noticed or cared.

 

[AwfulManTitTankTop]

They only really fought on air a handful of times. And while we probably woulda tapped out eventually the boomer trucker ballwashers woulda kept em afloat.

 

[MunchausenByProxy]

People act like if the Times Square incident didnt happen, that Ant wouldn’t have continued to do shit that would get him fired. All it was, was the ushering in of the cancel culture era. If that didnt happen, he would’ve been fired shortly after for something else. The world had changed, and O&A just would not have survived

No, you had guy doing race rants, one guy whining about the fans to the point he alienated most of them and the other trying to be a feminist in the hopes his female friends would pity fuck him

 

[PatheticIfTrue]

Is that TODAY's problem, man?
