Opie may never recover from this vacation

He took two weeks off ... what was he thinking? You cannot take that much time off when your brand is struggling. If you take a day off when pushing a stone up a hill, you not only lose momentum, but it rolls back down.

Are you kidding? When they come back Opie is going to tell his stories about 'just chilling' with brother Wease and visiting an awesome sushi jointzzz zzzz zzzz

It's true. The man is Chippah.

He'll be out of mediocre stories by the first commercial break. For a guy with that much money he's a fucking bore and is scared to leave the northeast.

Hopefully the Stangles can write him some vacation stories by the time vacation is over.

I heard he went to Vegas and his son Rusty won a lot of money or sumthin
5 AssMcPlay 2015-08-18
he'll prob exaggerate a problem for "laughs." Boring stories galore.

You can leave shit on a hill unattended and it's going to be there when you come back.

What if you leave shit on the beach?
7 K1bbler 2015-08-18
I don't know about the beach but if you leave shit unattended in a forest Jim Florentine will find it.
2 shinkleboutit 2015-08-18
Or if Jim leaves his wife unattended she will find a personal trainer to suck on his peckah

Here's hoping it washes out with the fucking tide.
2 iris201 2015-08-18
Not true, there will be coprophages sucking the nutrients out of it.
2 anonimescu 2015-08-18
Yes, I forgot to take into account the Stangel factor https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BcS4V87IAAAzjk_.jpg

They totally fuck.
2 SwitchPerfect 2015-08-18
That is fucking spot on.
17 Snake_____86 2015-08-18
He's under a contract, he could give a fuck if they're struggling... and honestly, they probably aren't. Too many rubes are still subbing to this shit.

The soccer moms that he's courting aren't gonna go anywhere. The OnA fans that are left will move on to podcasts in the next few weeks. Nobody is looking forward to the first week of shows in Sept because they will all be about Jimmy edging over vacation, what books opie read, how much he rode his bike, how much erock ate, how much wrestling sam watched and Caitlyn Jenner talk.

you guys are just jealous. right now, Opie is applying the final layer of Sweet Baby Ray's to the porterhouses he will grill in epic millionaire style tonight.
3 butthead22 2015-08-18
Nothing like a prime porterhouse cooked well done slathered in Sweet Baby Ray's, right Opster?
7 Icculus1833 2015-08-18
the secret is coating them generously BEFORE they hit the grill. and the Great Value brand dipping ketchup should be room temp, NOT cold.
2 butthead22 2015-08-18
For sure. You should also make sure to freeze the porterhouses ahead of time, and cook them from frozen, what are we like food pros er somethin? Erock, comment?

Dont forget the watermelon flavoured piss beer!
5 damnitfred 2015-08-18
Please... the less he's on the air, the better it is for his brand.
5 shinkleboutit 2015-08-18
Bonfire >opie radio

The Bonfire is amazing! It was cringe worthy hearing Opie suck Soder's cock to try and get him to switch over to the Opster's channel.

What I don't get is taking 2 full weeks off in a row after already taking half weeks and other time off this summer. Two uninterrupted full weeks off never happens in radio. Why not take two separate week long ones one in July one in August? It's not like he's going away, he's in the fucking Hamptons.
3 Kennigit 2015-08-18
I never thought it would happen like this but,...the last week i just didn't listen to the show. I didn't feel any motivation to listen to a replay or download it. Theres just too much other awesome content out there right now to fill that void. I checked today and realized they were on a 2 week break....a couple of years ago that would have been brutal, but i didn't even blink when i saw it.
Feels cathartic...like when you come to terms with a dead friend.
2 AntsCamera 2015-08-18
We can only hope for sharks off the coast of the beach house. Maybe they are attracted to the smell of shit, unwashed socks, and wispy grey strands of hair. Opie is a fucking slob.
2 JuiceBusters 2015-08-18
Before finally abandoning the show I noticed that most O&J shows sound the same now. repeats or 'best ofs' sound the same as 'live' shows.
In fact, I did return thanks to a Bocchetti tweet letting me know he'd be on the last show being hilarious despite Opie trying hard to ruin it.
but it does tell you Opie is witless and living in 2004 where he thinks he should take 2 weeks off but then again.. .....Is this a case where it doesn't make a difference anyways because the show is pointless, useless and who cares about the dwindling listeners anyways?
1 I_Hate_Knickers 2015-08-18
That's a beautiful analogy.
69?

What evidence do you have that the brand is struggling?
And please, be specific.
5 kevin121312 2015-08-18
When you have to hire 2 hack writers and they get shit on by everyone, your brand is struggling.
When you have THE hackiest comedian in the business in every day as a 3rd mic, your brand is struggling.
4 im_not 2015-08-18
Because nobody outside of this sub knows the name Opie Hughes?
2 BoardroomBimmy 2015-08-18
But they haven't known about his name or Anthony's name for many years. Nobody listens to the show, but it doesn't stop SXM from thinking the show is worth a damn and dumping even more money into Opie's gullet.
1 im_not 2015-08-18
I think many people would be casually aware of the "Opie & Anthony" brand name. As for the "Opie Radio" brand, I would say literally nobody.
1 Jewykikeburger 2015-08-18
I knew the brand, " Opie and Anthony" before I listen to the show. Idk how to explain it, I just new opie and anthony was a thing before
2 SteakSauce66 2015-08-18
Well first, there's the uh... and then there's that umm... Oh and don't forget about that... Hmmm.
