No Opie, You weren't "picked up" by the news for the Seth Rogen appearance. NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX all picked up his Howard appearance. The Blaze only "picks you up" because Stunt Brain (old O&A producer) still works there. Stop lying to yourself.

Opie also likes to say his videos "have made it to Buzzfeed"
Fun fact: He post them there himself. Anyone can post videos on Buzzfeed. It's like saying his video has made it to Youtube.
26 WilliamTellAll 2014-12-16
yeah, he'll post shit to break.com and then refresh the page and see it on the "latest videos" (which is how he views the front page) and will tweet "thanks to break.com for posting my video to the FRONT PAGE!"
FUCKING. EMBARRASSING.
9 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2014-12-16
break.com still exists?

It should have died immediately after changing the Big-Boys name.

I think the Elevator Show might have been the beginning of the end for Opie.
10 ExactlyUnlikeTea 2014-12-16
Are you shitting me? I hope he dies, what a faggot. That's like saying "my post made it onto Reddit"

Here's the post I'm talking about in particular.
When Opie brags about getting "heat" in the media, just check the source. It's almost always (unless its about Anthony being fired) theblaze.com.
Listeners of the show for a couple years will know of Stunt Brain, who use to be a producer (googled shit for the boys) for the show until he left to work for the blaze. He even calls in a couple times a year and plugs the site.
Everyone is mentioning their appearance on Howard, you just called in another fucking favor to Stunt brain so you can pretend your relevant. Fuck, people were reporting their appearance on Howie as they were walking over to gift you with 10 minutes of their time.
I enjoy you still have to fight tooth and nail to have a bite at Hoo hoo's table scraps once he's full.
12 Icon_Crash 2014-12-16
Not to mention, the comments from The Blaze are about the biggest cesspool of comments I've seen in a long time. Half of them are "We should just kill all Muslims/Athiests, the way G-D intended", and the other half are how "Barrack Barry Hussein Obama and his LIBTARDS want to RUIN AMERICA.", because, well, that's their core audience.
You know, the type of person who couldn't care less who this Opie guy is.
2 cheekybeeboo 2014-12-16
That whole can't spell out god thing with ultra-conservatives is hilarious. For the longest time i thought it was some misspelling or glitch that this dash appears between G and D but then someone told me it's actually because they never take the "lord's name in vain" and so can't even write god on the fucking computer. Where does it say "thou shall not tweet thy name" in the bible.

Do you really expect Glenn Beck fans to be rational?
5 ExactlyUnlikeTea 2014-12-16
Frankly I'm shocked any of them even know how to type
1 Icon_Crash 2014-12-16
As much as I hate to hate someone based on what political talking head they listen to, I make exceptions for Beck fans.
I'm OK with this, because they really are not the best examples of rational thinking, which is first illustrated that they don't understand it's a work.
3 breadmoccasin 2014-12-16
Now that THAT show is a flaky husk drained of everything likeable about O&A, with only Paycheck Norton and Sam "Not Entertaining" Roberts, I love seeing them get fucked over.
17 Gronez_Bambaataa 2014-12-16
This.
It's pathetic how he keeps sharing this like it's a world exclusive, also if glenn beck's website picks up your story i'm not sure it's something you wanna shout about.
12 ONAFan2014 2014-12-16
Let's not give ol' Stern too much credit. Since Artie left, that show went downhill and never picked up. This coming from a long-time fan!
Now Opie's become as bad as Stern. Worse, since he's sticking by S/XM after the firing of Ant. Come on!
17 liharts 2014-12-16
At least stern knows how to interview.
7 wizardnug 2014-12-16
Agreed. I can't believe it's come to this but when stern is live and the Opie show is live I am listening to stern more... How did it come to this...ugh

1 PigsArePunished 2014-12-16
I've listened to Stern a few times and this was all I heard. Not that Opie is a radio mastermind in comparison, but it was utter dogshit.
2 ONAFan2014 2014-12-16
Yeah. Ask about their net worth, family troubles, and penis length.
Maybe in the past he was good, but if that's it, then come on!
And less we forget: BETH OSTROSKY.
I rarely go on Dawg's Saloon, because it's just the same shit every day, and I moved on.
5 [deleted] 2014-12-16
The worst is when he tries to sum up their life/career in a "poignant" tone towards the end of the interview.
So listen _______, here's the thing...
I bet he thinks he's so fucking cool when he does that.
6 WilliamTellAll 2014-12-16
No ones giving him any credit. He is just being used as an example at just how desperate and sad Opie is to no longer live in his shadow.
The fact Opie still, to this day, has to swallow that pill on a daily basis is what is just so great.
11 jerk-ass 2014-12-16
Opie is such a desperate douche.
9 xxmikekxx 2014-12-16
He still lives in the 1990s world of shock jock bravado but doesn't realize that these days it's so easy to catch him on all his horseshit
3 BeerCanThick 2014-12-16
The internet made it really hard to lie.
8 regis69 2014-12-16
Yeah, I just googled "Seth Rogen" and 3 articles on the first page are about the appearance on Howard Stern. No mention of "Opie and Jim" at all.
8 havingmadfun 2014-12-16
I had fun pointing this out to him on his fb
4 CookieHaid 2014-12-16
You didn't have mad fun? He blocked me from commenting or "like"ing. Had to laugh though since his top comments are all back to being negative.
3 havingmadfun 2014-12-16
Yes I did have mad fun. There are some real ball washers in that comment section
6 CowsAreCurious 2014-12-16
I'm glad the news only picked up on the Stern appearance.

"They 'aite"
5 iAmJacksR3venge 2014-12-16
They don't make the Blaze because they call Stunt Brain, the guy who writes every O&A&J story, Jason Howerton, is an O&A fan. If you got his Twitter you'll see he tweets all them and talks about listening to O&A. If he wasn't a fan, they wouldn't be on the Blaze. He's @JasonHowerton
7 DuckSpeaker_ 2014-12-16
I believe you. he sounds like an Opie fan:
"Follower of Christ. Evening Editor at @theblaze. Interested in the truth, wherever it leads. The truth has NO agenda. Opinions are my own."
6 KR1288 2014-12-16
Im sure he's a blast to hang out with
4 BeerCanThick 2014-12-16
Buchwald ponied up the cash for publicity for their Howard Appearance. Arbitron says Stern gets 1 million listeners cumulatively a week or less. Seth and James Franco appearing on the Howard Stern Show means jack shit but Stern and Buchwald are the biggest magicians in the business. It's all sleight of hand and smoke and mirrors. They get you to think they're the hottest shit ever by paying off people to run stories on them.
Opie and Anthony should have had multiple publicity agents hypemen. Paying somebody 10 dollars to make you look like a 1000 so you get paid 100 instead of 20 is a no brainer. That is why Stern gets monster contracts and the boys get bent over the barrel and fucked up the ass for pennies on the dollar.
That and Hoo Hoo is a You-Know-What, which doesn't hurt when satellite radio is so Tribed up.
3 ONAFan2014 2014-12-16
How about this? I haven't kept in touch with the Stern Show lately, but I heard that Howard compared the Sony hack to 9/11. That made the cover of the Daily News, and David Boroff and Nancy Dillon called him an idiot.
Sorry, but this guy helped tank America's Got Talent in the ratings, is plugging his wife endlessly, made up with the Hollywood elite that he smashed rightfully, and burned bridges with the talent that made him who he is (Jackie Martling, Stuttering John, Artie Lange). If anyone thinks they're gonna get me to listen to that shitbag again with Opie and Jim Norton being douchebags, they can kiss my fat ass.
4 BeerCanThick 2014-12-16
Hey, I'm just saying the guy is through but he knows how to hype himself and swindle people into huge contracts. Like you said, he had no juice whatsoever when America's Got Talent hired him but he said his teeny little audience of a few hundred thousand superfans was going to equal millions of new AGT viewers via "The Stern Effect" which fizzled out in like 1997.
He got on AGT and like you said, the show went down the shitter. But in the process, he was able to get them to move the show to New York and cater to his every diva-whim during his multi-million dollar contract. The guy knows how to hype and swindle. O and A never did. They weren't number 2 to Stern because of show quality, god no. Especially not recently.
The just have no online presence, a shit agent, no publicity agency helping them, etc.
3 CookieHaid 2014-12-16
What do you expect, they're a couple of Irish Catholic boys from the suburbs.
2 NotInsane 2014-12-16
So what you're saying is Opie is about to convert to Judaism to go viral?
3 ONAFan2014 2014-12-16
Well, yeah, I was on a roll, and didn't acknowledge all that.
3 MonsteRain 2014-12-16
Wonder if TMZ is running with it. They have a love/hate relationship with those guys.
3 Mrmet2087 2014-12-16
I've noticed this before too and get chills every time he goes "We made the Blaze" why is this a surprise someone who's gay for you keeps featuring you on his P-list site no one goes to?
2 buttriot 2014-12-16
I would feel bad for how his life ended up but he hasn't had a moment of introspection in all these years so fucke em.
1 Moxson4 2014-12-16
I can assure you that Opie wasn't trying to lie to Himself. He was trying to Lie to Everyone Else!
1 okconsumer 2014-12-16
Off topic a bit but Stunt Brain is a douche.
5 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2014-12-16
Stunt Brain always seemed like a decent guy. Not sure where the douche comment is coming from.
4 packitchofsositch 2014-12-16
Why? I don't remember him all that much. He just kind of came on and held his own and wasn't funny. But not unfunny. What made him douchey?
1 dspaceman88 2014-12-16
I'm not loying
0 JCP_1975 2014-12-16
Wow, it's like you took the entire premise of my facebook post and made a post out of it over here.
0 packitchofsositch 2014-12-16
I'm probably the only one who doesn't completely hate him for this. It's not often you see as direct a link as "Dictator and America's biggest enemy/middle guys/Dopey Shock Jock Radio Show".
0 ChipsAndSmokesLetsGo 2014-12-16
Guys, I told Opie about this thread. (We talk regularly). He is very distraught that reddit is upset with him and vows to stop pulling these shenanigans.
0 xBrianSmithx 2014-12-16
Why would he push any Howard appearances on his own show?
0 WilliamTellAll 2014-12-16
I think you are missing the point completely, Sir.
0 xBrianSmithx 2014-12-16
Oh. You actually had a point. My bad.
-20 rbuyna 2014-12-16
You are so upset about this show, why do you keep listening when you clearly are not a fan?
-7 Die-rector 2014-12-16
because its a circlejerk sausagefest where they downvote anyone who supports the show while bitching when they get blocked on twitter. its cute how much they think this sub has an effect on the shows popularity. its literally the same people in every post bitching lol.
5 WilliamTellAll 2014-12-16
yep.
move the fuck along if you don't like it.
/r/OpieRadio is where all you Opie supporters can suck and fuck one another all day long.
