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

ME: Brother Weaseeee, the Brother Weaseeee. FOCKKK man he really shined a light on a LOT of FOCKIN shit sniff....brought a lot, brought a LOT of shit to my attention, man...have you heard of this fuckin' Kony guy? The Kony? SAMMEH!

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

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?

I don't know about the beach but if you leave shit unattended in a forest Jim Florentine will find it.

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.

Not true, there will be coprophages sucking the nutrients out of it.

Yes, I forgot to take into account the Stangel factor https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BcS4V87IAAAzjk_.jpg

They totally fuck.

That is fucking spot on.

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.

Nothing like a prime porterhouse cooked well done slathered in Sweet Baby Ray's, right Opster?

the secret is coating them generously BEFORE they hit the grill. and the Great Value brand dipping ketchup should be room temp, NOT cold.

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!

Please... the less he's on the air, the better it is for his brand.

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.

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.

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.

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?

That's a beautiful analogy.

69?

What evidence do you have that the brand is struggling?

And please, be specific.

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.

Because nobody outside of this sub knows the name Opie Hughes?

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.

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.

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

Well first, there's the uh... and then there's that umm... Oh and don't forget about that... Hmmm.
