If you look at whose life has improved the most since the firing, Sam without a doubt has experienced quite the glow up. Name on the marquee and making a comfortable living in NYC doing satellite radio.

From his generation and with that voice... it's unironically inspirational. I don't listen to the show, obviously, but have to respect it

thing is, sam didn't get there through hard work and perseverance. he backstabbed his way to the top and was lucky enough it paid off. I'd rather continue being the perpetually obscure nobody I am, but forever loyal and proud, than have success built upon being a snake in the grass

I know Sam motherfucked the back office staff and was a piece of shit to a lot of people.... but what machinations did he do that got him the show? Besides accepting less money than Opie or Anthony and outlasting both of them getting fired

it seemed the people he screwed were never interested in cohosting the show or in competition for that role

danny could absolutely have been in sam's position right now if he wasn't so dicknotized by anthony. that was his mistake; he was loyal, and so drunk on the idea of being mates with famous people that he failed to take his own potential success into consideration. sam faked loyalty only to those who were in a position of power because he knew it was a viable strategy of maneuvering his way into having the show named after him.

Nana is the worst human but is the happiest out of all three. He's the only one who still has the ability to be funny if he really tried. He's the only one who's talent is still begrudgingly accepted and he's sold out the least. He's almost as destructive as Artie at this point with his personal behavior. edit: He is financially fucked but has the ability to earn a living if he cleans his act up.

Jim (so far) is the second worst human and is the 2nd most (i think) unhappy. If we find out actual evidence of his pederasty then he takes worst human position easily. He's a very funny faggot who is so much of a faggot that fear will never allow him to be funny again. He can't imagine (for good reason) any woman wanting him for anything but money so easy money is all he cares about and he is more than willing to defraud his audience. He will never be respected by any of his peers for any reason again. edit: He will run out of money and have nothing to sell very soon.

Opie is financially and on paper the most successful by far. But the Opster does 1 and only 1 thing anymore: He defends himself and tells the opposite story of what we all heard happen. He is the guiltiest man in the world. "Do you like me, Gavin?" I'm almost positive he is the most miserable but he is so batshit that I don't know if he processes sadness like I do. He's also profoundly stupid so I may have gotten this "Baaakwyrds. I like saying Baaahkwyyrrds." edit: He'll never earn 6 figures in entertainment again and probably can't hold any sort of job but should be set for life.

Danny is too self destructive to succeed long term. His resume is proof of that. His connection to Ant was mostly self interest. He thought he could get away with anything because daddy would protect him and that was usually the case. I really wish Steve C just strangled him when I listen back to old clips.

Danny was fired from Sirius because he was out of control. Then was fired from Rockstar for also being a maniac. Then went into a mental asylum and now works as a bartender. Zero chance Danny would have ever been a successful show co-host having to be on mic and interview guests and be the face of a channel. Anthony was the one hypnotized by Danny as Danny did nothing for him yet he protected him nonstop until it was impossible to tolerate Danny's stupidity and the dam burst.

Danny's friends were also scum like that spic he invited to Anthony's house that had a criminal record and stole from peoples' purses. He was a low class loser and typical jew trash. Danny was only ever hired by Sirius and Rockstar because of Anthony. He was loyal to Anthony because his jobs were because of Anthony, not the other way around where he got his job on his own and developed some relationship with Anthony. Once his association with Anthony was no longer enough to get Danny work their relationship was over. I have no idea what Anthony had Danny latch on to him but their relationship was very creepy in retrospect.

Sam knew that O&A would end up getting fired for something insane and that the show had a history of imploding. Dead Mayor Sex for Sam. All of them should have been on defense about their careers constantly because Sirius hated O&A and they could be fired at any moment. So you cannot blame Sam or even Norton for constantly seeking work outside of the show. Sirius fired Steve C literally just to send a message to O&A that management hated them. Would you not be worried about your career?

Remember that Sirius refused to sign Rogan, Burr, Vos, or any other podcast that Opie tried to bring to the company. They were incompetent and told Opie that signing podcasts to the company was bad business. Sam was willing to settle for a small obscure satellite radio show for decent pay and not rock the boat or ever ask for more. Even Stern seems to have done the bare minimum for Sirius at this point and knows that the company is a joke. The only disgusting and pathetic thing that Sam really did was ensure that Pat Duffy didn't get hired because he was afraid that Duffy would be hostile to him. As far as how Sam got his show with Norton it was just him being the last man standing. Not because he maneuvered his way like a snake.

He has to be the least happiest of almost anyone who worked on O&A except for maybe Danny or some of the interns.

He drank his talent and humor away. Have you seen his standup and roast sets? He has lost the ability to be funny and cannot even publicly speak properly without tripping over himself. His days of talent are truly done. I don't think that Anthony can be funny on his own without someone like Opie constantly throwing some setups at him.

Norton will abandon his old peers for a new set of peers. The ultra left wing groups like NAMBLA or drag queen story hour or whatever will become his new group. Once Norton fully comes out of the closet and openly dates the tranny he is with it will get him a new circle of friends. The circle of friends he has always wanted. Like him doing that Vice show with a tranny fag. Or him doing to tranny bars and gay bars with comedians from the Cellar. We still haven't seen the 'real' Norton yet. He is still the worm.
Opie will never earn 6 figures in entertainment again and probably can't hold any sort of job but should be set for life.
Wrong. Opie could sign a six figure book deal tomorrow that traces the history of shock jock radio. Would detail O&A, Stern, various radio wars, Mayor Menino, and could even have interviews with people like Terry Clifford or Jim Chandler that would give us new insight on being a Jocktober victim. A well written book that was encyclopedic about talk radio could be a seven figure book. He could even get a good PR team and promote on Stern and Rogan and other big shows.

In regards to pat duffy, I rewatched the sam porsalin doc and pat came off as a bit of a bitch. I think sam is definitely a mean-spirited guy but I don’t think he’s a true sociopath. Just a dweeb who was finally able to have some kind of power over other people. I like pat duffy, though I don’t think he would’ve been able to handle being in the entertainment industry long term. I hope he’s somewhat happy now even if he’s not rich. He never should’ve agreed to do the porsalin interview.

If I had Jim's money, it would be IG models and pornstars. No trannies though, I draw the line at that

This part is implausible. Maybe he would sign a provisional deal that was contingent upon sales (because the Opster knows how to not be tied down by a flat fee contract) and none of those people would be in the book or promote the book because they all hate him. Everyone he's ever worked with hates him and he doesn't even touch kids allegedly. Everything he says is a self-congratulatory lie/cope and he wouldn't work well with a ghostwriter/editor because he's him.

Opie objectively has the best life, by most standards. Hot wife, kids, enough money to live comfortably and do what he wants within reason. But in the end, none of that matters to him because what he really seeks is approval. He wants to be told he’s just as great of a broadcaster as Stern and just as important to the history of radio, and he wants to be told he was just as funny as everyone in the room.

Norton makes an okay living and has a steady gig in broadcasting, plus enough pull to be able to do medium sized shows in the tri-state area. But the many discussions and hits he took about his standup over the years make it clear he thinks he deserves to be in the discussion of the greatest comedians of all time. He has a small group of idiot listeners who somehow think he’s smart, but he clearly pontificates like he’s one of his time’s greatest philosophers and it definitely eats him up that he’s not treated as such. Also he’s clearly gay but won’t admit it to himself, which will be a source of his enduring self-loathing and unhappiness.

Where to begin with Anthony? He was gifted an unbelievably easy job that brought him tons of money and a mild amount of fame and he pissed it all away. He’s alienated himself from almost everyone who claimed to be his friends and/or family. He’s sinking what little money he has left into a company that’s a fiasco in every regard. Most people his age are settling into retirement and watching their kids go to college, he’s spending his nights getting blackout drunk and calling kids “niggers” on Call of Duty. And of course live streaming it because he doesn’t want to admit to himself that once his tiny sliver of “fame” is gone, he’s just going to be the pathetic loser his dad told him he would turn out to be so many years ago. This is all not even mentioning the pedophilia, the all-encompassing fear of blacks, and the “Im still hilarious” denial, all of which adds up to him being an empty shell of a human. Anthony is doing the worst out of any of them, and the very few people who recognize his name when he finally drops dead on Twitch or blows his brains out will barely muster up a “Yeah sounds about right” for him.

Sam is probably the closest to happy out of all of them. He never had any qualms about what he was, he knew he wasn’t funny, he knew he wasn’t a hard worker, he didn’t care about getting the respect of any of his peers. He backstabbed his way to the middle, he makes enough money to live like a 40 year old manbaby, and I don’t think he wants much more than that out of life. More power to him I guess.
