That the first break on monday will be Gregg Hughes and Serious James Norton taking phone calls and discussing the tragedies of World War II and a book.
I like how he placed all the kid-related crap around it. That tells us that he's a good 'ol dedicated father who's still got some spare time to read a nice little uplifting tale featured in Oprah's Book Club.
He's basically saying that the book is similar to his own resilient struggles with management. He fought the maaaan, maaaaaaaan and he won BIG TIME. Ant was cannon fodder, collateral damage and ultimately he lost because he didn't play the long game like the master general Opie.
Look at the binding- that book has not been read- probably thumbed through it, looked titles of the chapter, read two sentences of the forward and jumped on twitter to announce he is suddenly literate.
He's not trying to tell you clowns anything. Wow. Some of you comment on stuff you have absolutely no clue about. Just like how E-rock got fired, right? So embarrassing some of these posts.

He's getting inspiration for his own memoir, Untalented.

that he sucks.

Mein Kampf would give him some better tips at being a charismatic speaker considering it's his job.
1 StirTheThermitePaint 2014-09-28
Yeah, but Ant's not gonna let Opie borrow his laminated, signed copy.
11 SXMGirl 2014-09-28
Unbroken: A Radio Story of Survival, Resilience & Redemption.....He can now apply it in his life, it takes on a new meaning now mahhhhhn.

Of all the books on WW2 is one written by a woman who was born 20 years after it ended really the one to go for?
8 WiretapStudios 2014-09-28
Who cares about the logical facts of a veterans stories, when you can hear about FEELINGS MANNNNNNNN
9 GWARscientist 2014-09-28
How much he's "all in" on books now.

That's why Lynsi reads a chapter a night to the Opester after the kids are all tucked away .
What she reads when Opies asleep

Can't stop laughing at that image

Well, he goes for "Opies Book Deep Cuts" which are basically Oprah's book club picks from 2006
8 TheActor_GreggHughes 2014-09-28
He's trying to make us think he's deep maaaaaaaan.

Opie is the type of maudlin simpleton who connects with Precious Moments sentiments. All he does is crafted to imply an unconscious emotional gravitas. Here's a good example; his Father's Day 2014 tweet: http://ink361.com/app/users/ig-24087948/opieradio/photos/ig-743337456462337512_24087948

Don't know who he's trying to fool, everyone knows this half-illiterate motherfucker can't read.
6 jakdak 2014-09-28
He's trying to tell us that he's a boring 50 something father of two who reads books.
3 CookieHaid 2014-09-28
...father of two GINGERS who reads popular novellas.
6 [deleted] 2014-09-28
The book is 4 years old.
6 Blockyblizzle 2014-09-28
someone should call the show and quiz him on it.
5 freshmozz 2014-09-28
They talked about this book long before Ant was fired.
1 CookieHaid 2014-09-28
I WANT to believe this; link?
5 oldchunkofcoal 2014-09-28
That he thinks we care that he started reading again, like its a big accomplishment.

Well that's what I interpreted it as.
5 billisinthefridge 2014-09-28
He really digs pink finger paints and a nice Transformers hi-liter
5 lunchboxg4 2014-09-28
How many "started reading"s is this now? Everyone who's come in to the show in the last five years has gotten him back reading.
2 [deleted] 2014-09-28
Not sure if he's ever mentioned it, but he read the Tyson biography.

More like prep of the bull variety.

Cross-over show with Book Radio?

He's telling us Roland booked another awesome, hilarious guest such as Mrs. Darryl Strawberry!
3 janedoe2893 2014-09-28
He's trying to show us that he is an involved father.

ME: No more funny!

He just heard about WW2 and now he is "all in"

3 xBrianSmithx 2014-09-28
That he read a book.
3 The_Teachers_Ass 2014-09-28
ugh, that's a good book too. I hate when people I hate like what I like.
2 humblebrag 2014-09-28
Read that. It's a great fucking book right up till the end when he goes full Jesus retard.
3 CookieHaid 2014-09-28
SPOILERS!
2 Moxson4 2014-09-28
It tells me that Opie bought a book to put under the table leg, so it's not wobbly anymore?
1 DianaKurlan5 2014-09-28
More non-fiction, Opie? Seriously?
Why not at least give something else a try.
0 StirTheThermitePaint 2014-09-28
Well, his own life is mostly fiction, he may as well balance it out.
1 CookieHaid 2014-09-28
ME: It's a great read, Jimmy, but I haven't finished it yet so no spoilers. Don't tell me who wins!
1 marsgamingchannel 2014-09-28
That reddit turning on him is as bad as fighting in ww2
1 StirTheThermitePaint 2014-09-28
He's trying to tell us the lie that he can read.
