why are you guys so mad at opie? no one is forcing u to pay 30 dollars to buy the picture. OnA has listeners from across the country, many who are rubes who think a shot of times square with a water covered lens is cool, and they like opie. what is wrong for them to spend 30 bucks to get a signed high quality pic? They don't have to do it. it is completely up to them. no one can buy it. But people did. U know why? Because maybe they like the pic, maybe they enjoy Opie and the show, and maybe the want to show appreciation. who the fuck cares?
I think it is a little weird that Opie is set financially yet he comes up with little schemes to make a little extra on the side. He is like a weird uncle wants to get rich selling DVDs on eBay. I'm sure it spawned from his mothers obsession with money that he brings up from time to time.
not that i care, but what other schemes has he come up with? im trying to think. they used to sell those demeted world cds or whatever, but i think they were far from millionaires then. If u think about it, OnA don't even have like a merch page where u can buy OnA shirts. If anything, they haven't done as much selling as u think they would. Maybe that Steiner sports guy will come through with the bobble head lol.
YOU THINK HE REALLY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE EXTRA 30 BUCKS HE GETS, YOU DUMMY?!
He's taking time out of his day to do this for the fans, the 30 bucks just covers the cost of his time and whatever postage or printing supplies he needed to get the photo and get it to the fan. He's doing it for the hardcore o&a fans who think its cool to have something signed from Opie. He doesn't think he's a professional photographer and he's not trying to get your money, he doesn't need it.
Opie doesn't need your fucking money, this is just another way he interacts with the fans which has always been a huge priority to the O&A show.
haha dude I'm listening to a Patrice Conspiracy Theory YT vid and Ant just did that at the Exact moment I read your post;different context sure, but freaky nonetheless
Haha that is freaky I listen to O&A on my iPhone and that happens where I read something and randomly in the video they say the exact thing I was reading/thinking about
Yeah Im too poor for the sub I had in my new car, so thx to that Steven guy YT poster I've been keeping up: whats the best way to listen on your phone? I'll usually dl Howard from PB and upload onto my iPhone through iTunes, but that seems too long and antiquated at this point (wait I hope this talk isnt taboo here, disregard the aforementioned if that's the case lol)
Actually it would be a great show. The Opie hater would know when to STFU and let the funny people be funny. Hell the Opie hater might even stay until 10!
I would be making all you fuckers 'howl' and you wouldn't want Opie back. It would turn into The Opie(Sucks) and Anthony Show. Then I would sell signed screen shots of comments and threads I've done on this subreddit. It would be great.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that notices they are CONSTANTLY on a break. I rarely listen on my commute as my drive is only 15 minutes and at least 3 days out of my work week they're in commercial the entire time there.
You realize, 15-20 minutes of break an hour equals ad revenue and shows management that advertisers see the show as a worthy avenue for promotion, right?
Even the much maligned Sam Roberts Aftershow has started to get live reads, which means advertisers see the value of the brand, which means management notices that advertisers see the value, and that means income for the company, and that means the show in all its facets might earn some respect.
Plus, Steven Singer is more than happy to throw infinite money at them for events, even if the company won't.
If the fans want them to be legit and get respect, they need advertisers.
no one is discrediting their advertisers. What I am saying is that the ad breaks have gotten a little out of hand as they are ridiculously frequent and often times long.
Which kinda does validate the "Opie bitching about management". They're obviously in demand enough to cull advertisers, yet their requests for improvements are largely ignored.
(Not disagreeing with you about the length of advertisements, mind you. But they usually go anywhere from 45-60 minutes of straight talk before they break. And then it is usually about 15 minutes of commercials. Sorry your commute tends to catch those breaks, but I have a 60 minute commute, and sometimes I get lucky to get in my truck right as a break is ending, and that gives me nearly my entire commute without commercials. Conversely, sometimes I get in just as they're about to go to break, and I know 1/4 of my ride to work will be tuned to Alt-Nation.)
Opie's selling some pics he's taken around nyc or whatever cause he likes to fancy himself a photographer & he'll sign them for you. We fans can't figure out if its a bit fudda...fuddashow or if the millionaire radio host is being serious about selling printed cellphone camera shots like they're "prints".
Meanwhile Anthony cumia is hanging in his compound taking pics of Beavis with a full-frame Canon 5dMk3 with a 70-200mm f/2.8 IS 2nd generation lens & tweeting the pics using a pro-EyeFI SD card that connects to his phone.
Opie just likes to interact with the fans of the show and this is how he does it. It fits with his other hobby of just walking around NYC snapping pics. He isn't trying to be a professional photographer or anything, this is just what he likes to do on his off time.
Ant on the other hand likes to just chill at his compound. And all the power to him. I would probably do the same thing if I were him but that's just his personality.
Opie isn't trying to make money off this, he just likes to interact with the fans.
The ever embarrassing Opie decided he's a 13 year old girl and that his intstagrams are masterpieces worthy of $30 a pop. But he signs em so. Totally worth it. Better pictures can be had for cheaper from immigrants with a sidewalk stand. If Opie had the required brain power to learn an instrument we would all be subject to his music in the same fashion. Terrible shit that nobody has the balls to call him on. Ant and Jim are really pathetic at this point for being afraid of him.
They're afraid of losing their money so they all act phony about their relationships so you'll continue financing their lifestyles. Is that more accurate?
He is selling shit like he is a low level comic (bob levy) while he lives in a luxury trump apt on the upper west side with millions in the bank. It's fucking embarrassing
Is it, Ben? Is it embarrassing for a popular radio show host to interact with his fans? You're a Cunt. He doesn't need the fucking money, he likes to interact with the fans.
This is kind of something he would mock Stern for, just saying. Also who would pay $30 for a autograph from Opie when if you ever got to a event they take pics and sign stuff for free. I guess tons of midwest rubes out there jumped allover this.
I just wish he'd turn is fucking phone down. It seems neither he or Ant understand how to use a mute switch. I thought I was going crazy when I heard this on recent shows - a dumb ass whistling ring tone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5h411OcttA
This is just opie peddling his wares. If people loved it he'd act like it is legit and if people hated it he'll pretend it was just a joke for the show. It's a pussy way of feeling out how people feel about his idea of selling some photos.

I don't care if Opie wants to sell some photos. As far as I'm concerned, it's basically buying an autograph.
