Your name is "you're wanting", and you can't play the man's game, you can't close them, and then tell your wife your troubles. 'Cause only one thing counts in this world:
Dos anyone doubt this at this point? Pretty much nobody is regularly good on their own, including Burr and Stanhope (and Ant and Jim). Opie sucks because he has an annoying personality more than because he's on his own.
It is pretty boring though. And he has a fuck of a lot more talent and things to say than Opie. And even that is only once a week for a shorter time. Opie is incapable.
Opie wouldn't even be able to do a podcast, which honestly should be way more difficult to do than having guests lined up and a fucking corporation backing you.
I get that I'm the dickhead in this thread from the downvotes but do you really think prime burr podcast is as consistently funny as prime o&ha or stern?
Well they have the capability to get through it, Opie does not. I agree everyone is pretty boring on their own, but it just just shows how unskilled and untalented he is at this.
Yeah for sure he's a whole other level worse and there's no comparison, I shouldn't have put his name with those others but my main point was the best radio ever is ither stern's team or o&a's old team. I don't think anyone alive is funny enough to be amazing solo 4-5 shows per week.
No. If he literally did that, it'd mean he was calling in from Tampa. Your joke - not a bad one, mind you - is that he's figuratively, or basically, doing it.
Mother cunting shit, why can't people understand this? Quit tossing around "literally", you fucks.
Didn't the Opester say that he wanted to give his buddies a taste, but the Sirius execs wanted a big name for the show? Cowhead's fat ass isn't moving to NYC, but I could see Opie moving to Tampa. He'd be a big fish in a small pond and he wouldn't have to worry about bumping into Sam or Jim in the hallways.
So some dude named cowhead is the "A" list cohost that the opester hinted at. Mancow must have been busy. Management must really be liking the direction of the show.
"Come December, It’s Double Duty for WHPT, Tampa’s Mike Calta. Morning drive personality Mike Calta plies his trade on Cox Media Group’s hot talk WHPT, Tampa, but beginning in December, he’ll also be serving ascaltamike co-host of the afternoon show with Gregg “Opie” Hughes on SiriusXM. The cat was let out of the bag by comic Rich Vos and repeated in an article by Dan Jackson at Thrillist.com about the death of the shock jock. Calta confirmed via Twitter that he will be starting with Opie in December and that his WHPT work will continue."
So its the PG version of the Fuck You Line? Radio industry sucks. There was an article here saying Cowhead makes 500,000 a year. A hacky, 20 years past the expiration one market guy, 500,000.
Cowhead is alright. I was never big on him, but last year he was beefing with Bubba the Love Sponge, and called in his show and embarrassed him. One of the better radio fatalities I've heard and he sold me there.
Opie had a stupid running joke on the show a few years back that whenever someone on the show would bring up Cowhead's name he would act like it's the first time he heard the name.
I like him. Living in Tampa, I've listened to his show for the past 6-7 years. That said, I'm not sure how this will work with Opie. Especially if he won't be there live. Just seems like a recipe for disaster.
A few years ago when the Lightning were playing the Bruins in the playoffs, the Bruins did some extremely mild trolling of Tampa, making some shuffleboard and elderly jokes.
This faggot Cowhead got so offended by this, his redneck listeners were calling up and making death threats until the Bruins were forced to take it back and pull the signs down.
This could be good or bad if it's true. Used to love calta when I lived in Florida, but his supporting cast SUCKS. And he wore on me quicker than Opie and Jim when he took over the cuckspong's spot. I'm sure you fools would love Carmon though. @boobiecar. 30% of us slept with a dumb whore like this at some point.

Cowhead's agent has already denied this:

-1 rottenseed 2016-10-19
Yeah but it's twice a week, not live, and I don't think the format would work too well on line radio... It's very unfocused.
I agree that Opie stinks, but not many broadcasters are able to make it by themselves unless they're only spinning records or politics.
6 modest_marvin 2016-10-19
I love the unfocused aspect of burr's podcast.
