Opie Raqio Podcast #110 - The Float Place - 1 hr 15 min {shudder}
65 2019-06-24 by leedsjr
As requested by some masochist.
Show opens with RATH rip off - Brothaman! Brothaman!
Then Opie does strange voices to annouce he is in D.C.
No one is talking about Donald Trump in D.C. according to Opie.
There are electirc scooters there, but the homeless people have recommended to Opie not to ride them. Opie explains in painstaking detail how to rent one of the scooters. The scooters are a great way to see all the monuments because they are spread out.
Opie pauses to let us listen to a street musician who just keeps repeating the same three notes on a trombone.
The theater where Lincoln was shot has been redone, which is disappointing. But you can go across the street and see the bed he died in.
Arlington Cemetary is always a "must do" when you are in D.C. But he is not going to make it this time.
There is a lot of secret service in the park near the White House. One of them has a German Shepard. Opie is afraid of German Shephards.
Opie lets us listen in to a tour. He sticks his mic into the tour guide's face, then thinks it is funny that she paused.
He is giving step by step directions of his walk like Mapquest and remarking on the weather.
Opie gets in to a discussion with someone holding a sign for "Clean, Honest Government". He asks what the man is "pushing". The man responds "Clean, Honest Government".
The man says it should start with counting every vote. Opie says we are moving in the other direction because it is too hard to vote. The man thinks it is easy to vote. Opie thinks we should be able to do it with an app. The man points out we are worried about our elections being hacked as it is. Opie realizes he is clearly outmatched in this battle of wits, so he agrees with everything the guy says for a minute, then asks him to describe his tent because they don't have a visual element. After that, Opie lets the guy drone on for what seems like forever while he chimes in with, "Right" and "Yeah". You can hear all kinds of people talking in the background.
Opie has live reads? Sponsors? National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about train crossings and a manscaping gadget. Also ProFlowers.
At some point while I was skipping through, another demonstrator joined the podcast. Opie is still just saying "Right" and "Yeah" and letting them fill air time. There is a long, convoluted story about a guy the two demonstrators saw shit in the street that is impossible to follow.
Opie actually lets the second guy fill out the rest of the podcast with an occasional chime in from the first guy. I am not bothering with any more details of this nonsense, and I am never doing this again.
Actual run time was only 55 min. No idea why it was listed as 1:15 in iTunes.

This was actually episode #104 - Mr. Hughes goes to Washington.
Not sure how that happened.
1 MalcolmX_InTheMiddle 2019-06-24
I assure you, no one would have noticed.
1 literalotherkin 2019-06-24
You're genuinely the only person who actually listens to this shit on the sub and you're a brave person for sitting through that shit.
1 DigitechLooper 2019-06-24
I looked up retarded in a thesaurus and didn’t see ‘brave’ as one of the synonyms...
1 leedsjr 2019-06-24
I only listened to this episode because someone asked about it.
And I think I listened to the wrong episode anyway.
If enough people are interested, I may try the one from the title to correct my stupid mistake.
1 literalotherkin 2019-06-24
I always loved your summations on the old sub.
1 leedsjr 2019-06-24
That wasn't me. This is the first time I did this.
1 I_Hate_Knickers_3 2019-06-24
Yeah it was, I remember too.
1 of_lower_stock 2019-06-24
Glad you're back at it dude!
1 Every1ShouldBKilled 2019-06-24
I would love to see you do this again, because people around here forgot how much Opie stinks, and need a constant reminder of this daily.
1 OlGravylegz 2019-06-24
I don't think anybody genuinely forgot how much opie sucks. The opie love bit is like the old "got your nose" gag. If you try and do it, you are a childish simpleton, and if you fall for it and freak out, you are a simpleminded child. Like almost everything about this sub, there are no winners: only losers.
​
Except opie. He's obviously a winner in every possible aspect of his life.
1 gaykentuckypride_yay 2019-06-24
yeah i want a bunch of faggots doing got your nose on here. the pinnacle of entertaining posts and lols. i love the see my thumb gee your dumb type intelligence around here
1 WuTang4Evaaaa 2019-06-24
The Opie love never had anything to do with radio/podcasting/content. This sub has moved past radio. It is now about the type of people they are
1 deep_legal_shit 2019-06-24
i tried to listen to the one where he announced he was 'parting' with westwood one out of pure schadenfreude and i was prepared to slog through a lot, but i had to tap out after like 3 minutes. beyond being just 'boring', the adolescent "mysterious" and cryptic responses to things was enraging
1 Lasagna_Hat 2019-06-24
5 min later
1 deep_legal_shit 2019-06-24
the dude is so fucking hateable. Easily as bad as Norton if not worse
1 Lasagna_Hat 2019-06-24
Yeah, the pro-Opie stuff (even sarcastic) was obnoxious
Just because Ant & Jim are utter garbage, doesn't mean Opie wasn't a major toxic piece of shit in the studio
1 deep_legal_shit 2019-06-24
it really is a bunch of people who think you are supporting Cumia when you shit on Gregg. it's too bad that infection is in the new sub
1 mrheh 2019-06-24
Opie's an unfunny asshole jerkoff but not a bad person. Ant and Jimmy are human garbage pedophile racists.
1 dom6502 2019-06-24
I mean this without hyperbole, Opie might be the biggest liar in history
1 Lasagna_Hat 2019-06-24
My dad started a church for the tax break
I made the whole jury laugh
I crumpled up my seatbelt ticket in front of the cop
I fought a French scuba diver for hitting on my bitch (not a plot point from Along Came Polly)
We used to take our school lunches in old cement bags
The Opester used to do some coke
I could host the Tonight Show
I woke up to a serial rapist watching me sleep
I used to be a bookie for the mob in high school (no I can't give names)
My family was so poor, we only had one summer home
I fought for Anthony's job
1 Skip4play 2019-06-24
And nobody would care except they beat their chest about how "real" they were. Opie did it more than anyone else.
1 Lasagna_Hat 2019-06-24
Great point.
During jocktober, Opie loved bashing other stations for "they fucking hate eachother! His co-host is giving him nothing!"
Meanwhile, o&a fucking hated eachother and every time Opie makes a joke and you can hear a pin drop
1 PatBattle1 2019-06-24
loved the DC episode. I thought it was extremely innovative and really made me want to go to DC. you felt like you were really there in person with how opie describes everything.
1 Jungies 2019-06-24
God bless ya, Pat.
1 ConspiracyModsRFags 2019-06-24

cholesterol
1 JerkStoreJ 2019-06-24
I wish I would have known he was doing this, I could have joined him.
1 JansHammer 2019-06-24
what is his fascination with homeless people?
1 leedsjr 2019-06-24
He looks like one?
1 BergStonewall 2019-06-24
Leave it alone
1 MalcolmX_InTheMiddle 2019-06-24
Research for his future life after the divorce.
1 I_Hate_Knickers_3 2019-06-24
Lol, the Opster's gonna be just fine.
Nice try tho.
1 TARE_ME 2019-06-24
He’s researching a role. After Anthony goes bankrupt, becomes homeless, and dies from cirrhosis in about a year, he figures he’ll be playing him in the O&A biopic.
1 FatFaggotSpaceEdge 2019-06-24
This would open up Opie's role to be played by Brad Pitt.
1 Wu_Tang_Cam_Sex 2019-06-24
Just like Eric!
1 JimsRustyBox 2019-06-24
He knows he would've been one of them without the incredible luck he had in life.
1 deep_legal_shit 2019-06-24
not a big pool of people who he feels immediately superior to, even with his money
1 Turbo-tommy 2019-06-24
Making sure they don't have any cakes they don't deserve.
1 JansHammer 2019-06-24
I thought the Missile vanquished you?
1 Turbo-tommy 2019-06-24
Yeah we had our spats, but around three subs ago he just ran off, dissapeared, left town. Guess his mouth wrote some checks his ass couldn't cash, and Turbo Tommy has no time for cowards.
1 SpaceEdgesDom 2019-06-24
You know, the Opester is right. People have been oddly silent on the President for the last few years. What's his name again, Trimp? Tramp? Neeever fawkin heard of the guy, to be honest whichya
1 SensibleKeks 2019-06-24
Ponald Plumpf. It's document in some shitty sci-fi book that maybe a half dozen people bought.
1 phantomsplooger 2019-06-24
Leave it alone.
1 daveyistheman 2019-06-24
I listened to his podcast where he went to a float tank studio, It was a pretty good one brotherman
1 leedsjr 2019-06-24
So you guys want a play by play of that one?
1 Turbo-tommy 2019-06-24
Yes
1 InnocentChrisKuhn 2019-06-24
People have given bad reviews to Shakespeare.
The pod has passed you by!
1 TheGhostOfAbeVigoda 2019-06-24
Shakespeare's a fag and he wrote a bunch of fag plays. There's my review.
1 InnocentChrisKuhn 2019-06-24
nice projection, stupid
1 TheGhostOfAbeVigoda 2019-06-24
You're right. I'm the one who wrote the fag plays.
1 InnocentChrisKuhn 2019-06-24
the fag does as a fag does. ''writing plays'' is of course a metaphor for sodomy
1 wbgreen 2019-06-24
Opie is afraid of German Shephards.
Opie confirmed to be a black man.
1 2Shirts4life 2019-06-24
no wonder the show fell apart
1 UhLookHereMan 2019-06-24
They're actually afraid of any dog that isn't an unclipped pitbull
1 gaykentuckypride_yay 2019-06-24
any dog that isnt a soccer ball
1 dom6502 2019-06-24
I would never, ever actually put myself through the torture of listening to these but I have to admit I relish in the autistic awfulness of reading these. Thank you for your service
1 JimsRustyBox 2019-06-24
Opie is still just saying "Right" and "Yeah" and letting them fill air time.
The Opester's still got it!
1 Kawaii_Fuhrer 2019-06-24
Dude, one bit I could never get behind is the ironic opie love cus he’s just so bad no one can listen and no one remembers how shit he is. Thank you for reminding us
1 Frequent2001 2019-06-24
what a non entertaining douche.
1 gregorio_ilidivich 2019-06-24
Arlington Cemetery stinks. Most boring trip you can take.
1 therealstinks 2019-06-24
haha thank you for your service
i feel like i should venmo you now or something
1 leedsjr 2019-06-24
Nah, but this got just enough feedback that I will recap the actual episode from the title.
1 therealstinks 2019-06-24
good luck... yeah it’s just him alone in studio as far as i know
1 4stepsbackward 2019-06-24
Sounds like a lot of ship steering to me.
1 leedsjr 2019-06-24
That's because you didn't listen to it.
1 gaykentuckypride_yay 2019-06-24
lol they downvote the poor guy.
1 lowend73 2019-06-24
I wish Opie would walk to Southeast and catch a hat removal guy
1 Vlad12Roses 2019-06-24
Haven't you heard? We worship this idiot now, you're not allowed to have fun at his expense.
1 ichise8 2019-06-24
LOOOOOOL. oh my sides, folks. this is why the man got fired from a platform he paid to be on...LOOOOOL oh my ribs, fellas. im dying here
also, opie is an active pedophile
1 alkiefuck 2019-06-24
god bless man, i know it must be shit to listen to but these write-ups are great
1 AlanSmithee23 2019-06-24
Semi retired brother man working an hour a week. That’s Joe Moomia type numbers.
1 Bonesy-420 2019-06-24
What a pile of piss.
