I started listening to O&A a few weeks ago during my one hour commute. I don't listen for the full hour, as with most sxm incessant rambling, I can't handle it that long. I've been away from sxm all week, but I'm not sad to see one of these guys go. The third guy Jim is more entertaining than the other two.
I've read the guys tweets and I would have fired him too , given his role and job.
