For their annual April Fools prank, Opie called a severely hung over Anthony bright and early with the idea "Let's tell all of Boston that Mayor Menino died in a fiery car crash!". Anthony agreed. The fallout from this prank was far greater than anyone had anticipated.

- April 2 - Opie and Anthony's last live show on WAAF. They were suspended without pay that day. Despite ridiculous attempts by Dave Dickless to patch things up with such suggestions as a public pieing, and donating pies to terminally ill children, the damage had been done.
- April 9 - Opie and Anthony are fired.
- June - The bbboys are signed to legendary New York rock station 102.7 WNEW. Over the next year, they were locked in battle with the other DJs, due to their interjection of humor between songs. "Shut up and play the music" was heard all too often.

2001
- May - Opie and Anthony's contract is up for renewal, but no one at Infinity Broadcasting is sure how to proceed. On one hand, there is major controversy surrounding some of the radio bits and promotions, like Sex for Sam, the 55 Gallon Drum Challenge, and the Homeless Shopping Spree, but on the other hand, the outstanding ratings and the duo's confidence in their show suggested that the next logical step would have to be syndication.
- June 11 - After taking a 2 week break while their contract was in limbo, Opie and Anthony returned to the airwaves, now syndicated to 94.1 WYSP in Philadelphia. Over the next 6 months, syndication was expanded to 18 additional markets, including WJFK in Washington, DC, and WBCN in Boston.
- August - Opie and Anthony return to the Boston airwaves, syndicated on WBCN, the rival station of their former home, WAAF.

Opie and Anthony both knew immediately that this was the big one, and they would most likely be out of jobs.
- August 16 - Opie and Anthony go on live, alas for the last time. Neither of the bbboys were allowed to speak of the incident, referring to it only as the Peanut Butter and Jelly incident.

- August 22 - Infinity Broadcasting made the announcement that The Opie and Anthony Show had been cancelled. However, they had not been fired.
