Trivia / Opie & Anthony

Go To

  • Creator Backlash: An occasional bit on the show is when O&A play old audio of themselves from earlier in their careers and mercilessly rip it apart.
  • Executive Meddling: Frequently. Changing attitudes of corporate bosses and the FCC have had their toll on O&A, and it's a struggle to get classic bits and contests (such as Homeless Shopping Spree and the Wiffle Ball Bat Challenge) going, if not banned outright now.
  • Real Song Theme Tune: The opening riff of Rage Against The Machine's version of "Street Fighting Man" kicks off their show.
  • Role-Ending Misdemeanor: Anthony was fired from the show and SiriusXM in 2014 for unrepentantly going on a perceived racist Twitter tirade about a black woman who allegedly punched him. Opie himself was fired from the network in 2017 for secretly recording a coworker that was using the restroom.
