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

sorry about that brotherman, was trying to keep the title short!

Snifffff they fawking killed me like Franz Ferdinand. Lotta problems in Bosnia

I’m imagining opie doing that hardcore histories about WW1 lol. The fawkin Kaiser

leave it alone

As a former church member, you sir are the Jim Jones of the Church of Opie.

I wish you took that trip to South America.

Westwood is pizza, Opie is hamburger.

With delicious fresh buns.

Im starting to want pat battle to choke on a code red 2 liter

For the next several weeks I'm looking forward to Opie tweeting about fake contract negotiations with SXM.

He's got some tings in da works but that's about all he can fawkin tell ya..stay tuned, brotherman

He has had things in the work for a year....nothing ever seems to happen for him.

The beach sand on the Outer Banks better be ready to start having some cryptic messages written into it.

Christ, he's in full Scorch mode now.

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.

The suits at Westwood were getting in the way. Sniff.

Unlike Nana, when you're independently wealthy after a life in Raqio you can do things like this.

Exactly this. Opster couldn't care fawkin less. Does he seem upsetnto anyone?

Nopie.

Peace.

End of an era.

But not the end of the Opster.

start of a new chapter

I’m sure this spells disaster for westwood1 stocks

In the last month their stock has dropped 8%, from 18.95 to 17.45

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.

Doesn’t anyone realize the enourmous bandwidth costs that Westwood was paying for Opies insanely popular Raqio show?

A victim of his own success

Pretty funny that even with the (mostly) unironic Opie support, no one except Pat Battle cares about him leaving Westwood One.

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.

Almost like you were listening to a random conversation in another room.

Wow, Opie managed to get a wrestler who nobody cared about in 1998? Nice get!

You missed the part where Opie knocks on DDPs door and he hides behind the sofa pretending he isn't home.

Don't forget Joe Rogan's gonna be a guest to make up for that last time. They were friends!

Good for him, WWOne was holding him back.

People be eatin' Opesters dust! The #1 Brotherman is evolving!

How can you leave a job, yet you weren't fired nor did you quit?

What is the sound of one hand blatantly lying?

Payroll software bug.

Westwood One fixed the glitch.

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.

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

He overloaded their servers one too many times, he's taking that huge hog elsewhere but certainly NOT Compound Media.

Tim Sabean didnt appreciate brothaman enough

Hey look, he exited his career without destroying his credibility & respect with a frothing racist tirade

So it can be done!

He such a horrible liar.

R/whoarethesepodcasts

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.

I don’t think they were actually paying him. I think they split ad revenue.

I need more Opie hate. Everything else is getting a bit stale for me around here.

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.

what a shitty show

Lot's of respect

Onwards & upwards.

We're inching closer to the O&A reunion that will be such a fucking disaster.

I cant wait to hear the Who AreThese Podcasts wrap up on this.
