A podcaster's uncensored late night ramblings regarding the future of opie and Jimmy

0  2014-12-20 by [deleted]

I have fears that the growing vitriol exhibited by fans will continue to fester like a malignant tumor, eating away the willpower of the current show until there is nothing left. To be honest, I could probably survive without the show. I'll find something else to listen to and that will be that. But it would be another element of my life that has disappeared, only to exist in memories. I've had that happen too many times these past few years. My friends have all mostly moved away, my GF is no longer with me, I don't visit my parents anymore. I don't know, it just seems that so many things in this crazy life evaporates before you can truly appreciate it. I don't want opie and jimmy to evaporate, and the way some of you "fans" are treating the show, well, you know damn well that's what's gonna happen. Hell, there was a post on here that said we'd be better off if opie and jimmy were fired. I don't think you understand how much that'd affect people's lives. Sure it's just a show, but to me, it's more personal than that. It's a part of my life. I host my own podcast, and I know how easy it is for people to become fans of yours and then hate on you because you weren't as funny as you used to be (this has happened to me more than once), so I get the o&j show's current situation. It's tough. For everybody. I don't know what I'm rambling about... Not sure if this post will make a difference but whatever, it had to be said. I guess I'll get some sleep now, after this bill burr special on netflix. Happy holidays.

P.s. If I don't respond to your comment immediately, it's because I'm probably sleeping. It's been a LONG day.

OP I'm really sorry. It's tough when your friends aren't close, heartbreak is no laughing matter, and one can feel disconnection from the world without proper relations with parents. I've been where you are before and the way I've gotten out of "the funk" is to call up a close friend, anyone, and hav em tugon ur pekkah hard til its soft n stuff.

i'm not in a depression haha i just wrote that post late last night and to be honest i was kind of "inebriated" as they say

What's your podcast? Just so I can avoid it forever so I don't have to listen to someone be a big fuckin baby.

It's the 'Fuck paragraph breaks hour' on the riotcast network.

i think it's kind of douchey to advertise my podcast on another show's subreddit, otherwise i'd tell you

Your podcast stinks and everybody hates it. And calling yourself a "podcaster" is a douche move. Cut it out.

you've never even heard it, and when somebody does a podcast, they're called a podcaster. just like when somebody does radio they're called a radio host.

Sure it's just a show, but to me, it's more personal than that. It's a part of my life.

Oh, fucking yuck.

Christ, this is embarrassing. Stop with the pity party and pull yourself together, man.

Oh, and your post won't make any difference.
