They could have hired this nigger for $40,000 a year in the glory days. Same with JRE, Burr, CK, etc. SiriusXM was horrible at recognizing talent or developing it at all.
I do not understand how Jim and Sam weren't the first one to go. If I was running things at SiriusXM they would be gone first. I doubt they even have 10% of the listeners O&A had at their height. So what is the point in keeping them? Are they really attracting new listeners who never heard of O&A before? I can't point my finger on it but there is surely something fishy going on with this ordeal.
I don’t think they attract listeners but they probably retained them. How many people do you think cancelled Sirius after Anthony got fired? People stuck around for Jim & Sam the same way they stuck around for Opie & Jim. I also can’t imagine many Sirius subscribers go to the platform for one show in specific, except maybe Howard. So I imagine a lot of J&S fans are carry overs from the O&A days and new listeners who are desperate for SOME sort of comedy talk show which barely exists on Sirius. I explained this in a previous thread but I can imagine what little money Sirius pays both of them ends up working out based on their listeners. Random J&S clips still get like 70k views somehow.

I got a new car last week and it's got Sirius on it. I look forward to sluggo on classic alternative channel than I do any comedy show. In fact I have not even tuned to a comedy show. All that stuff I listen on a pod.

Has to be some type of money laundering operation like "modern art" and Patrick S Tomlinson books
There has to be money involved with that in the first place for that to check out.and Patrick S Tomlinson books
Opie was right about how hiring celebrities to do radio doesn’t work. At least Kevin has charisma and is a comedian though. Did anyone read the article that can fill me in? It says Heartbeat productions so maybe it’s closer to a podcast network than just paying Kevin.
Is Kevin Hart the only comedian to come from that social circle to completely abandon the rest of them? Even Louis CK would hire his old friends. Kevin Hart started out with Big Jay and from stories he has told, Jay used to even pay his bills when he couldn't afford it. Now I don't think Hart would even plug Jay's upcoming special on social media.

Jay told a story on the Bonfire a while back about Kevin coming to his hotel room or something like that to visit him because they were in the same town gigging. Kevin brought an Xbox One with him so that they could play Madden or some shit. When it came time for Kevin to leave, he gave Jay the Xbox. Nice helping your comedy friends, stupid.
Yeah I think it's similar to the deal with Conan.
Nice paying 150 million for podcasts that don't even get 10,000 views, stupid.
Kevin paid to fix Jay’s apartment after a hurricane. Even though he got too big for da fawkin show. Maybe on the way down.
Edit: and I’m pretty sure it’s the other way around because Jay was never and will never pass Kevin in terms of having a mainstream career.
