Maybe you should all be in radio?

I find it funny how everyone on this sub is a radio expert...and think Opie is a terrible broadcaster. The guy has been doing four hours of radio 5 days a week for at least 20 years. Do I think he is some legendary host? No, but to say he is a shitty broadcaster is short-sided and silly. I wish he could call all of you haters into the studio to try and do 10 minutes of entertaining radio. Like when comics bring up a heckler and tell them to make the crowd laugh. This SUB is filled with people ranting about how terrible he is, and yet your clearly still listening if your complaint about the current show. Also, how sad of a human being are you if you don't even listen anymore, but you still come to this sub to bitch about Opie and the show. Keep hating on the guy if you want, he will be laughing all the way to the bank

short-sided

How dare you question the length of my sides.

OP is a sidist.

I've never seen so many cliches in one post.

I despise this argument

You couldn't do his job therefore you have no right to complain

Dude, I couldn't do the Presidents job but I'm gonna complain about him if I want.

No he actually has a point; women and paraplegics have absolutely no right to complain.

This isn't about who should be in radio. This is about who shouldn't. I never played baseball at a professional level but I can go to a baseball game and indentify a shitty player and know he wouldn't make it in the majors. I never performed stand up comedy but I can go to a comedy act and identify a shitty comedian and realize "wow this guy isn't funny and needs to improve or quit." I've never been a professional accountant but If I take my taxes to a pro and every year he fucks them up and I get audited I know "wow, this guy is a terrible accountant. Even though he's been doing this for 20 years, he stinks." Did ya see what I'm getting at here? You don't need to have personal experience on radio to understand when you are listening to shit.

indentify, what are ya startin new paragraphs or somethin

Buddy, I know I would be shitty at broadcasting. The thing is I can recognize when someone else is a shitty broadcaster.

Guess what? Your idol Opie is a shitty broadcaster.

Could you imagine that's how the world worked? Some Long Island dreg comes over to do some tin knocking and fucks up cause he saw an interracial couple walk by, and when you complain he says "if you don't like it, why don't you do it better?"

Like when comics bring up a heckler and tell them to make the crowd laugh. This SUB is filled with people ranting about how terrible he is, and yet your clearly still listening if your complaint about the current show.

If you think this sub is so bad why don't you go start your own and populate it with good internet?

Yes, spuds buckley was a masterpiece of broadcasting. So was ketchup tasting. Wow, watch him smash something! What a rebellious genius! He doesnt need to be articulate, smart or interesting to be considered a good radio guy because he's too talented to need any of that hack crap.

I wish he could call all of you haters into the studio to try and do 10 minutes of entertaining radio.

Opie can go first....

Of all the faggoty threads I've seen in this sub, this is faggotiest. The OP will pull a pussy move and never return back to his own thread. He said what he had to say, and that's that! Pussy boy. Faggy boy.

OP is a fag

Get it right faggot. Opie has been doing radio since he was 18. That is 33 years. And he still sucks at it.

Who here purported to be a radio expert? Have you ever been able to criticize something without an advanced degree in it, or professional experience? Ever say you didn't like the way your mommy made scrambled eggs despite no graduation from Le Cordon Bleu?

It's the usual Argumentum ad verecundiam - they are used to make those who lack authority feel shame about discussing issues they lack credentials of expertise in, and back out of an argument. It's the bastion of the weak minded and less intelligent person, and the coward. It's along the lines of "attack the messenger", which is a cowardly way to avoid the message.

Ignore the cretin. There's usually a couple of whining, sniveling posts like this every day. They think they have something to say.

Radio broadcaster here. Not been doing it for nearly as long, but I do work in Miami, one of the biggest markets in the US. That said, Opie sucks. A lot of the criticism here sucks, but plenty is valid.

You're exactly right, he's great at having Jimmy, Ant, and guests in the studio. Put him by himself like Ant is now and see what happens?!
