OFFICIAL: Opie Has Left Westwood1! "I've Taken the Opie Radio Podcast as far I can with WW1"
56 2019-06-20 by PatBattle1
Opie announced in the first 10 minutes of his new pod that he was not fired and did not quit, they just decided to go separate ways for now. Mike Safo will continue on as producer so we can still expect to have awesome guests like Diamond Dallas Page! Check out the Opie Radio FREE Podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your pods!

I read that as World War I and was confused for a minute thinking it was some kind of godawful analogy

As a former church member, you sir are the Jim Jones of the Church of Opie.
1 redditsipowillsuck 2019-06-20
I wish you took that trip to South America.
1 KPIH 2019-06-20
Westwood is pizza, Opie is hamburger.

With delicious fresh buns.
1 bovinegrazr 2019-06-20
Im starting to want pat battle to choke on a code red 2 liter
1 SensibleKeks 2019-06-20
For the next several weeks I'm looking forward to Opie tweeting about fake contract negotiations with SXM.
1 MrFeedYoNana 2019-06-20
He's got some tings in da works but that's about all he can fawkin tell ya..stay tuned, brotherman
1 John-Denver1978 2019-06-20
He has had things in the work for a year....nothing ever seems to happen for him.
1 nikolam 2019-06-20
The beach sand on the Outer Banks better be ready to start having some cryptic messages written into it.
1 fudgicle2018 2019-06-20
Christ, he's in full Scorch mode now.
1 ObsessiveMuso 2019-06-20
Westwood can't put up the numbahz the Psycho commands. Has to go in a different direction with the whole podcast thing. Period.
He wishes 'em nothin' but the best, though.
1 FatFaggotSpaceEdge 2019-06-20
The suits at Westwood were getting in the way. Sniff.
1 AnthonyCumio 2019-06-20
Unlike Nana, when you're independently wealthy after a life in Raqio you can do things like this.
1 I_Hate_Knickers_3 2019-06-20
Exactly this. Opster couldn't care fawkin less. Does he seem upsetnto anyone?
Nopie.
Peace.
1 Reaktif 2019-06-20
End of an era.
1 I_Hate_Knickers_3 2019-06-20
But not the end of the Opster.
1 late_50s_why 2019-06-20
start of a new chapter
1 Dachosen17 2019-06-20
I’m sure this spells disaster for westwood1 stocks
1 ScarletNumbered 2019-06-20
In the last month their stock has dropped 8%, from 18.95 to 17.45
1 jasim18 2019-06-20
They came to the decision mutually. Westwood One decided he should fuck off and he decided to agree. After that display they should change the name of the network to Southward One.
1 Cawdor 2019-06-20
Doesn’t anyone realize the enourmous bandwidth costs that Westwood was paying for Opies insanely popular Raqio show?
A victim of his own success
1 helobious1 2019-06-20
Pretty funny that even with the (mostly) unironic Opie support, no one except Pat Battle cares about him leaving Westwood One.
1 Not_My_Real_Acct_ 2019-06-20
I genuinely enjoyed a couple of the shows, but there's so much boring dreck to suffer through. The podcast was 90% unlistenable with occasional moments of cringe humor.
1 WindCityWelterweight 2019-06-20
Almost like you were listening to a random conversation in another room.
1 TheBlueAwning 2019-06-20
Wow, Opie managed to get a wrestler who nobody cared about in 1998? Nice get!
1 Randal_X2 2019-06-20
You missed the part where Opie knocks on DDPs door and he hides behind the sofa pretending he isn't home.
1 WindCityWelterweight 2019-06-20
Don't forget Joe Rogan's gonna be a guest to make up for that last time. They were friends!
1 Icon_Crash 2019-06-20
Good for him, WWOne was holding him back.
1 ConspiracyModsRFags 2019-06-20
People be eatin' Opesters dust! The #1 Brotherman is evolving!
1 UhLookHereMan 2019-06-20
How can you leave a job, yet you weren't fired nor did you quit?
1 Randal_X2 2019-06-20
What is the sound of one hand blatantly lying?
1 DeadWithoutMyDavid 2019-06-20
Payroll software bug.
1 itrits 2019-06-20
Westwood One fixed the glitch.
1 Dennyislife 2019-06-20
All I am saying is Sirius are doing work building a whole new floor in the building they have just taken over.
They could give him a Howard sized studio.
1 ichise8 2019-06-20
oh ho hee ha ho hoo my sides, folks. imagine being so unpleasant that youre fired from a platform you paid to be a part of. ah hee hah ho hoo.
i think ima celebrate, folks. gonna crack open that wine ive been saving for a special occasion. war hero joe cant stop winning, folks. also, opie is a coprophilic pedophile
1 TaumpyTearsxyz 2019-06-20
He overloaded their servers one too many times, he's taking that huge hog elsewhere but certainly NOT Compound Media.
1 Belchides 2019-06-20
Tim Sabean didnt appreciate brothaman enough
1 YangtzeRiverChina 2019-06-20
Hey look, he exited his career without destroying his credibility & respect with a frothing racist tirade
1 MrFeedYoNana 2019-06-20
So it can be done!
1 Skip4play 2019-06-20
He such a horrible liar.

I know you’re all ironically praising the Opster, but I mean how far is the bit going to go on for? This lying fuck was let go; let’s call it what it is.
1 yanggang707 2019-06-20
I don’t think they were actually paying him. I think they split ad revenue.
1 dom6502 2019-06-20
I need more Opie hate. Everything else is getting a bit stale for me around here.
1 MarbleSpaceCat 2019-06-20
What a great guy. Giving the younger guys the chance to shine instead. Would love to grab a cold road soda with the brotherman and the philly crew.
1 realister 2019-06-20
what a shitty show
1 of_lower_stock 2019-06-20
Lot's of respect
1 redditsipowillsuck 2019-06-20
Onwards & upwards.
1 DNStorage 2019-06-20
We're inching closer to the O&A reunion that will be such a fucking disaster.
1 Doc_McCoyXYZ 2019-06-20
I cant wait to hear the Who AreThese Podcasts wrap up on this.
