Master Po has been let go.

[S0S]

Master Po, who was a part of the security of Opie & Anthony and Ron & Fez, was fired on Friday. Master Po has been on The Opie & Anthony Show since it's beginning on XM and has been a part of many famous segements, Karaoke, ultra straight man, martial arts segments, "USH!", "F" "H" Riley's, protecting during The Walk Over, theme to "The Karate Kid", "Damn, You just been powned!", getting Anthony's car, forcing people to sign in triplicate forms for getting in studio and "O&A Party ROCK!". This was due to the sad fact that Sirius XM will be closing the current the XM studios and moving both shows to the cramped Sirius Studios.
Good bye Master Po. USH!

Thoughts n prayers master po

[KingGeno]

Such change already occurring....

[Mullenax]

Po and Earl, seemed like lasting institutions just a week ago.

[west milly Tom]

He was super cool when I met him. And it was really fun watching him slow-mo fight Misti. Too bad he just been p0n3d.

Yes definitely a nice guy... Poor poor Po. Good Luck Buddy...

Does anyone know when they will be moving studios?

[~Katja~]

I thought it was announced and I missed it, cause he said "as you may already know" in a message the other day...

I am sure he will do fine. Seems XM doesn't pay all that much, so maybe once he gets a job elsewhere that pays a bit more as well.

[Caseyelan]

You forgot the bit where he kicked my husband in the stomach for no good reason and then he got suspended sans pay for a week.

That was a good one.

[RADIO-SHARK]

:sad: oh no don,t go Po!

[Edwin]

The merger is killing a lot that was good about XM Satellite Radio. At least I got my Old School Rap channel back.

[KingGeno]

It's slowly turning into what seems like a nunery. And you know there will be tons of tighter rules at the Sirius building.

"Howard Stern does NOT like the smell of farts. You must walk outside to pass gas."

"Martha Stewart hates blacks. All blacks are prohibited from floors 10 through 13."

Crap.

[TjM]

You forgot the bit where he kicked my husband in the stomach for no good reason and then he got suspended sans pay for a week.

Wasn't he trying to attack somebody?

[hexy68]

best of luck with your fitness center Master Po...we'll miss you on O&A! :down:

[bobrobot]

The security staff surrounding those maggot cowards, OnA are the most unprofessional, pathetic, bunch of lowlife halfwit morons imaginable. I wonder how many lawsuits floated around behind the scenes of that shithole... fuck'em all!!!

QFT. Po's added nothing to the on-air product for the past 2 or 3 years. This is nowhere near Roland leaving, where he added content up until the day he left.

[Don Stugots]

Bobo has his revenge!

[KingGeno]

I don't ever remember hearing that Po was hired to contribute to on-air antics. he was just sucked in sometimes. If he wasn't the Po that everyone knows, he probably wouldn't have been on the air at all.

He's a security guard who took his job too seriously.

If you don't mind me asking, why DID you bring a musical instrument to a show where you were strictly an audience member?

[Caseyelan]

Wasn't he trying to attack somebody?

no.

Is chasing someone with no ill intent, attacking? By my definitions... no.

[tanless1]

wasnt that the day dave was threating multi-victims w/ his feces , like a drunk monkey ? seemed like a fine reason.

a very funny moment i may add.

unless, of course,that was imaginery radio poo

[TjM]

no.

I must have been thinking of the Erock shithand incident. My bad

[Freitag]

Bobo has his revenge!

Not really, because that was Kenny, not Po.

[Don Stugots]

Oh, I forgot and I was there when that happened. Nevermind.

[Freitag]

Oh, I forgot and I was there when that happened. Nevermind.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you - I legitimately thought it was Kenny.

[KatPw]

Po has always been friendly and nice towards me and Mike whenever we saw him. I don't really go to events, but when I do he was always one of the people I looked forward to chatting with. I'll miss him.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

say it aint po


see that wordplay,


he was kinda of a douche when we were at the studio

I dont wish this on him, but aint gonna feel too bad

[dino_electropolis]

Hey, its a shame to learn of anyone losing their job in this recession. But it truly is a sign of things to come. Sirius needs to cut the fat, so to speak, just to keep afloat. Clearly, sirius' loyalty doesn't run to OnA, which, if u have listened to the last 2 months of the show, may very well be justified.

Good luck po!

[instrument]

Is poop considered a weapon?

Like if you had poop on your hand and lunged at a cop could he shoot you?

Sure he could tase I bet.

[Marc with a c]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you - I legitimately thought it was Kenny.

he wasn't being sarcastic, it was kenny.

he's just that dumb.

[Serpico1103]

Po seemed ok, but too uptight for the XM atmosphere. How can you be a security guard at a place where they chase each other around with shit and liquid ass.
I like ESD a lot, but you cant complain that while chasing someone with shittys on your hand, the security guard stopped you.

I'm glad people recognize UCB's brilliance. They are excellent. :clap:

[Dash77]

I wish Mr. Po the best in his, future endeavors..

[Gvac]

Adios, Po.

I hope you one day grasp the true meaning of the martial arts.

And for the record, the correct spelling of Po's famous greeting is "Os."

It's used in Japanese and Okinawan dojos as a sign of respect.

Wasn't Bobo trying to set some kind of record for consecutive days carrying around a ukulele??

[FezsAssistant]

Was he fired or let go because of the merger? Fired is kind of a harsh word.
He was very nice to me when I was in the studio one time.
He patted my back checking for swords.

My close friend was sitting in front of you during the ukelele/Unmasked incident.
He said you were making noise the ENTIRE FUCKING TIME. People were turning around trying to tip you off that you were acting like an ass. My friend said it was a miracle your bullshit wasn't picked up on mics for the entire show.
You have no credibility. I wish Kenny finished the job.

[KingModem]

Pope Bobo baby, Pope Bobo baby Number One

mixing up one chooch for another isn't dumb.

Po patted me down in New Orleans several times. At least I'll have those memories... O&A PARTY ROCK!!!! :glurps:

[K.C.]

The merger is killing a lot that was good about XM Satellite Radio.

You do realize the stock price is 11 cents.

11 f-ing cents!

It's not exactly raining money over there. In fact, the company is likely to go Chapter 11 and then reissue new stock to all the places they owe debt, or big douchebag Mel is going to take it private, if he can find financing for such a fool's errand.


Sucks people are starting to lose their jobs there, but I"m surprised they haven't stripped company operations down to a couple monkeys chained to a chair randomly clicking songs in Itunes for the music channels.

If it makes you feel any better, I was 10 when Kung Fu: The Legend Continues came on UPN 9.

he was very nice and down-to-earth at hooters the one time i met him.

It doesn't much. I just checked wikipedia. I was 27 when UPN launched.

[CofyCrakCocaine]

Back on topic, he was very nice to me. Gave me the respect knuckles.

But he's a backstabbing bastard who cried to corporate on more than one occasion trying to get guys fired. Regardless of how nice the guy was to me, the guy was a dick who was phased outta the shows for a reason.

[DolaMight]

remember when po let convicts in the building, aww... good times.

[BlackSpider]

Then I guess I was 28.
Young fella...

[CofyCrakCocaine]

was that the first or second time he tried to get Danny fired?

[Jubjubs]

Oooooooos.

My skills with a kendo stick will get me through, Gentlemen.

Or not.

[DolaMight]

was that the first or second time he tried to get Danny fired?

Danny'z always mixed up in these firings. Free Po, let the po go.

[CofyCrakCocaine]

Danny'z always mixed up in these firings. Free Po, let the po go.

If Po suddenly screamed Shoyruuken! and gave Danny either a dragon punch or a devastating windmill punch sequence resulting in instantaneous shitting of Danny's pants upon death, I woulda respected Po more than having him run to daddy so he can tattle

Not that I'm advocating violence, gentlemen!

Your close friend is a liar - and probably the douche who stole Mr. B's cigar.

I had a view of the whole thing and not once did anyone turn around and say shit to Bobo because there was nothing to say - Bobo got up very quietly when they asked for people to come up for questions, and he walked behind everyone - so, for anyone to say they saw Kenny man-handle Bobo and that he deserved it is complete bullshit.

[AKA]

Wasn't Bobo trying to set some kind of record for consecutive days carrying around a ukulele??

Yes he was. It was discussed on the show many times.

The uke was not an issue at the live event at all.

[AKA]

I had no problem w/ Po when I stopped by the studio - I thought he was awful on the air, however; completely humorless and dull - the fawning love for him out of the O&A universe by some of the listeners I really never got, but maybe he really was a great guy at the parties and stuff. I don't know.

Who were the listeners who he took their IDs and then left the building for the night? I know one was the guy who called himself "Opera Boy" and the other was an old school Ron and Fez gal who I can't remember.

remember the time said that thing about that thing. he was the best,

So........Earl left. And now Master Po is gone?



It's official.
East Side Dave fucking wins!:clap:

[meanmrbill]

I remember it being talked about on the show but not the details on what the trouble was at that particular event. When I asked about him having the uke with him at the show I was only responding to this........

just curious, hearsay or you know anyone inside of xm hr?

[JDE]

just curious, hearsay or you know anyone inside of xm hr?

It was on the air on more than once about how Po was not one of the guys, and when something would happen behind the scenes, instead of dealing with it, he would contact hr.


Opie really said it best, he was not one of the guys, he did not get the show, and so he never fit in, and his personal way of dealing with conflict was to go to mommy or daddy, and tell on his brothers.

[YourAmishDaddy]

Good. Never liked him anyway.

[vjr97]

so long master po!!! best wishes in the future borther.im sure u'll be back .getting fired sucks .i should know ive been fired from 18 jobs in a row

whatever is said on air is a radio show.
Unless somebody in HR released confidential information that he in fact contacted HR I believe we can all just call it hearsay and will never know the truth.

He WAS NOT part of the show, he was a security person at the studio. They involved him in the show whenever they saw it fit and that's all. He was never a radio personality.

Anyway, I wish him best of luck for his future and am certain he will be just fine.

[onemassman]

Does anyone know what Club Soda Kenny thought of Po as a martial arts "Master". Having been involved in martial arts for many years, listening to Po on-air and then checking one of his web sites out I had my doubts. At the time I checked his web site out there seemed to be an abundance of "Honorary" accolades as opposed to those actually earned through direct participation. I also know one of the Sensei's who were involved with the Marines' overhaul of their martial arts training after the first Gulf War along with subsequent tweaking of the program. Po was not one of those individuals, he may be training individuals who are Marines, but the person I know who was involved never heard of him at the corp level. I'm not implying he was not one tough cat just not as pedigreed as he lead folks to believe.
I often did enjoy his participation in both shows and wish him well going forward. It's a tough time to be looking for employment.

[CofyCrakCocaine]

just curious, hearsay or you know anyone inside of xm hr?

It was discussed on the air more than once and hinted at heavily. Obviously I don't know the whole deal (and why would knowing someone from HR mean shit? That's still hearsay technically), but it's blatantly obvious from what's been on the show that Po ratted Danny out and tried to get him in trouble. Whenever Po had his Arena SNV show was when this took place and they addressed it the following week.

THEY READ THE EMAIL HE WROTE TO HR ON THE AIR.

'Course it just might be a radio show bit, but Po "mysteriously" stopped being brought on the air afterwards. I could sit here and be Socratic and say "at least I know I don't know" but this is a goddamned messageboard. In the court of public opinion, Po's an asshole.

I still wish the asshole luck with his life.

of course it would still be hearsay.
I am not really sure I remember the danny story much, either way I think we all know that it's a radio show and the reality gets skewed a bit for the outrageous factor... and in addition to that it's Opie who mentions stories from the NYTimes when in reality he reads it on a place mat. When it's funny he may actually bring his mistake up on air but I am sure that more often than not things gone wrong never get mention again.


Fact is that just another person lost their job due to economy/ merger and regardless of the past on the show one can only wish good luck.
