Summary

*Video version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8QxlRqOkn4 The Opie and Anthony Show was a phenomenon. Here's episode 9 of the series Opie and Anthony: The Good The Bad and The Ugly. The reason I wouldn't sign certain contracts. Behind the scenes with my Super Agent Bob. How Anthony can make millions on his own if... Remembering the AFRO shows. Being on normal terms with everybody you'd be booming. Taking the high road with Anthony. The time we went on Bill O'Reilly's hugely successful tv show. Moving to nyc and going on the legendary rock station WNEW. Reminiscing about WAAF in Boston. Of course I did everything I could to save Anthony when he got fired from SiriusXM. Talking for the first time in over 2 years after Anthony was fired and asking him about not going to bat for him. Read Anthony's Twitter and ask yourself if you'd want to do a show with that guy. The one thing me and Anthony bonded on. #oanda #wow #anthonycumia #opieradio #opieandanthony #opie opie and anthony
