Also, while it does seem as if these days off weren't planned due to lack of guests they usually plan to bring in when one of the guys had planned time off, there is always the possibility that they are aware listeners are freaking out and creating no shortage of theories and scenarios as to why Opie is MIA and are purposely dicking with us all at this point.
I'm sure he'll be back this week... unless hes looking to get fired.
He keeps saying how he thought about quitting the show cuz of his kids. so who knows.
Ant tweeted a whole bunch of times about shitty service at FH Riley's over the weekend and the theory is that him and Opie had it out Monday AM about it since Opie would be rightfully pissed about Ant publicly bashing his brother's restaurant.
Apparently some people saw an argument on Pal Talk until Ant cut the cameras mid argument and are assuming it was about that.
The show then started late and no Opie or mention of him, yet people supposedly saw both arguing on Pal Talk before Ant cut the cameras, so the assumption is he stormed out/ was sent home by management.
Opie hasn't been on the air since.
No way to know if he is still out due to a fight, if he has scheduled days off this week and Monday's fight and walk out bled into that, or even what the story is behind it for sure since we don't know what was said by whom, but that is the prevalent theory....
He didn't have any scheduled days off or anything like that. If there was any simple justification for his absence, they would have just said "Opie is off for blah blah blah". The fact that they won't even mention his name means it's because of the fight.
during the first year on XM, Opie and Jimmy had a fight that was never replayed - I had a MyFi but was in a no signal area and so all I heard was them bitching about it never replaying --- any idea if that is archived somewhere?
If the fight was bad enough that he walked out minutes before the show was supposed to start, it wouldn't totally surprise me if he just decides to take the remainder of the year off.

Yes. Tarantino is coming on tomorrow The Opster will be there.

Good point, however he is up past 9:00pm tweeting the 121212 concert....and we all know Opie needs his sleep to do radio.

Opie's ego probably tells him he's be Ryan Seacrest if Ant never had problems.

MY HEART SAYS YES BUT MY HEAD SAYS NO

I'll be the crazy one and say he'll show up on tuesday next week.
3 Fidena 2012-12-12
Probably this, he'll skip Monday to increase tensions. I love the Opster, but he tends to be a drama queen.

Dear Christ that was a long sentence.

No clue since we don't know the details on him not there:
Was he sent home to cool down with management's blessing/ orders?
Is he taking personal days?
Was he scheduled time off this week anyway?
1 rahtin 2012-12-12
Did a blow up happen? I haven't had a chance to listen this week.

that's the rumor.

Any more details?
I only listen to O&A sporadically, but this sounds big...ish.

The channel should be renamed the Bob Buckland channel

I love the rampant conspiracy theories.

I vote yes.

No.

I've read all the other threads and this seems like the beginning of the end --- has anyone asked him on twitter about the alleged argument?
2 stferago 2012-12-12
I doubt it; worse things have happened to the show.

I believe it was this one.
1 247world 2012-12-12
wow! thank you, thank you!!!
1 247world 2012-12-12
just started listening to this, it ended with them making fun of Erock for getting all shaky about the fight - thanks for the memories!
1 stferago 2012-12-12
No, he's playing chicken with Anthony right now. He's probably hoping the show will just suck ass all week so they miss him.
1 247world 2012-12-12
I hope so -- wouldn't be the first comedy team to have irreconcilable differences
