<p>Before O&A went to fm 40% of their show was XM OWNS FM OMG BLAH BLAH BLAH. Why are you wasteing hours of time telling XM OWNERS how much better it is than FM!? WE ALREADY KNOW! They diss the "FREE FM" commercials now they are a walking free fm commercian with their phone number they always give out.</p><p>now it's just 80% BITCH BITCH BITCH..</p><p>Who else is sick of it? And when anyone calls them out on it they can never admit it or never be wrong. They say it get's things done? but when u bitch as much as they do XM is just going to see them as whiney asses and eventually they will stop careing because they bitch about friggen everything.</p>

I totally agree. I think that both O&A have let success go to their heads. I know some of it is just playing up for the show, but all in all they have just become whiny and bitchy to the point of ruining each day's show. I first listened to O&A and not much R&F, but now it's the other way around. I prefer Ron and Fez, hands down.<br />

Do you listen to every single station on XM 24hrs a day? No you don't. No one does. Are you setting up message board topics about how R&F is soooo much better than the 'Ask!' channel? No you aren't. Are you complaining about the 60's on 6 or the weather channels? No. If there are music channels and/or talk shows I don't want to hear, I don't listen. I don't start up threads about how much they suck. I just don't listen. And guess what? I'm paying for all those channels, too! I listen to some and don't listen to others. 202 is not a premium channel anymore. If you don't like it, just don't listen. With your twisted rationale, I would have the right to lobby to have the Miami weather channel removed just because I'm PAYING for it and I don't like it. You're an idiot. </p>

Are you complaining about the 60's on 6 or the weather channels? No. If there are music channels and/or talk shows I don't want to hear, I don't listen. I don't start up threads about how much they suck. I just don't listen. And guess what? I'm paying for all those channels, too! I listen to some and don't listen to others. 202 is not a premium channel anymore. If you don't like it, just don't listen.

In listening to the end of the Free FM show and the start of the XM show on the replay I can completely understand why Opie would be mad. Complaining to complain is one thing, to have your staff not edit out curse words on audio you are playing on FCC regulated radio stations is just plain stupid and his reaction to this is completely justified. I agree there has been a hell of a lot of complaining since they came to Free FM, though in that particular instance them complaining about that is valid.

far as complaining on any show goes, I say whatever. Seriously, I could
care less. I like to hear the realness and the non-bullshit "let's just
glaze this over and talk over the air" thing. That was one of the
things I always enjoyed about both shows. Everything was out in the
open and shared with the audience. I try and listen to both shows,
especially O & A at face value. I'm a little bit too inside on Ron
and Fez sometimes so inside jokes just bowl me over but with O & A
I just try not to read into what is said and just take it for what it
is. <br />

The fact that XM doesn't have equipment that works in their own building should justify any O&A bitching. We are missing a great interview right now.

<p>You know what, this "just don't listen" argument is perfectly valid! Like when O&A read stuff they don't like on Wackbag. It's not as if they spend time endlessly bitching about Wackbag. They certainly don't use their power to change the board or anything! They heed their own advice and just don't read it.</p><p>oh wait........ </p>

<p>I don't think theres much use in arguing over which show is better,
but for some reason I really get into OnA in super quick spurts.
Every so often I will listen to them all I can, even more than Ron and
Fez.</p><p>Then I'll go 2-3 weeks without even hearing a show.
Its like I can't take OnA for long periods of time, but I am obsessed
for a few days at a time.<br />

<p>To: All XM Staff<br />From: The Opie & Anthony Show<br /><br />We are hurt and saddened by the lack the of appreciation shown by the rest of this company. we have been lugging the weight of your imcompetences on our backs for close to two years now, and its high time we were recognized for it. more importantly the lack of an invitation to employee appreciation day speaks volume and is unforgivable! not only are we more famous than all of you, but we also make a lot more money (and deservedly so) - so either show us due respect or we'll kick in all this brand new computer equipment you bought us that we have just lying around - curtly, the Opie and Anthony empire as heard on several CBS radio stations.</p>

<p>Great, another bitch fest today. Fucking fantastic. At least they have a point. It's not like they bithced about having to go down to DC when they made regular visits. And its not as if Opie said to not even bother asking them down there a couple weeks ago in yet another of their bitchfests.</p><p>I used to think that this CBS move was good thing, and at first it was. An extra hour of radio everyday. But it has turned into 3 hours of radio and 2 hours of garbage way too often. We get 5 hours of radio as long as something doesn't bother these spoiled brats. And they wouldn't dare bitch about anything during the 3 hours, and I wonder why.</p><p>It bothers me because I care, because I like the show when they do it. When I don't care anymore I will take the "just don't listen advice." I'm just really sick of listening to these 2 hour temper tantrums. </p>
