Remember when Opie made fun of Todd Pettengill for not being able to do a show without Scott?

How did your solo show work out Opie?

64 comments

O&J didn't work. Stangle bros didn't work. Acting like a victim didn't work. Viral Spiral didn't work. Stalking Howard didn't work. Trashing Ant didn't work. Not trashing Ant didn't work. Opie solo didn't work.

and so on and so on

Now Opie has no work

Like his brain.

I'm out of the loop, is he done with his piece of shit solo show?

What I do know for sure is the channel is no longer called OpieRadio. Its being suggested his show is done, but I'm not 100% sure. But having his name taken off the channel is pretty telling of how the company currently values ol Mammary Hughes.

"That's terrible, the show was getting so good" - No one ever

No one ever death for Christmas to you

Ok

Opie has the afternoon drive show on Faction radio. I think it was made pretty clear. Sam and Jim/Jason Ellis/Opie.

I hope they move Opie to nights

Starting when because my screen still has OpieRadio on it?

He could try prepburger.

He has

It didn't work

sniffs

wipes mouth

But Opie and Vic is pure radio gold!

I'm starting to sense a pattern...

Hopefully Opie and Todd works.

He was still a lot better than Todd though.

Not really.

"You don't need to be here, Jimmy." -Tits

'membah the panic in Gregg's voice when Florentine, Sherrod, or Vic couldn't come in so Opie resorted to putting his security guard and producer on air?

I membah...

My favorite rememberance of this incident is the fact that, when looked in context, Gail Bennington has had to start a couple shows by herself and didn't sound the least bit as intimidated as Opie was. Tits has been doing raqio almost as long as Gail has been alive. What a talentless hack who was gifted his money, on behalf of Ant and Big Jim Norton.

Gail can also do voices, read at a HS level, has general world knowledge and self awareness, and even gets a decent line out every now and then.

Gail also does voices in context to the conversation. Not because she's a nervous ninny who has no real point of view or opinion. While her criticisms (laughing at unfunny things) are valid, she is much better at continuing conversation and going all with the bit.

Gail's point of view is Ron's point of view.

Its Ron and three fat parrots.

And it's still better raqio than a 30+ year industry veteran.

Bennington might be an echo chamber, but Opie Radio is yelling into a coffee mug.

Ohhhhh... I 'member.

'Member Chewbacca..?

Fawking Hilarious!

It's amazing how he has been in radio for 50 years and can't do a solo show for even 5 minutes. I don't think I've ever heard him just speak about a topic he cares about without someone's help, certainly not entertainingly. Ffs gavin mcinnes had no radio background and just naturally picked it up and can do 2 hour show alone.

What, are you implying that time a panicked Gregg unloaded barrage of words and shouted song lyrics at a baffled Erock who had clearly been plucked from his booth seconds before wasn't the sign of a professional at ease that had confidence in his ability or something?

Ohh... I would very much like to cringe at that. Any help?

I don't remember when exactly it happened, I'll look for it but I'm 90% sure it was the 'Distefano stuck in traffic' day. He wasn't there and Sherrod didn't show, so he was constantly calling Distefano asking where he was.

Gimme a bit, I'll find it. It was gold.

You've had a bit, where is it?

At work with no YouTube, peckapolisher. Gimme like 4 more hours and I'll have it for you.

Fine.

Time's up, brotherman.

Starts right at the beginning. Hope you like his David Bowie impression!

He so pathetic that when he has no one there at the top of the show he starts panicking and brings in Erock or Kenny. What a talentless fuck.

Why doesn't he just chat about his kids or whatever? He says he and Ant split because they didn't wanna talk about the same stuff anymore but now he is free to talk about whatever he wants... have at it, champ

Because Tits never brought his real shit to the show, only someone else's.

I'm guessing that the fact one of them has fudge brain makes them to be a little less than a favorite topic of conversation for the Opester.

Fudgey Wudgey Brain?

True, Lennon's a dud, should have named her Harrison instead.

If he just talked about his kids and did soccer mom radio he may find a new audience to be honest.

You can go back and listen to Jocktober shows and Opie's comments could be directed at him personally. He always acted like he as above hack radio.

They jocktobered a show where the hole, Amy, unironically called herself "the Amester"

It be funny if opie was being held in a head lock and Todd screamed

"HOW DOES THAT FEEL MOTHER FUCKER!!!"

Opie is not good at his job.

Wiat, he's actaully bothered to do his job?

The guy bails from work the minute the show is over. Show prep for him is taking his coat off, and asking "Who we got today?" He's had two years to put a concept together, and it's been the same thing since Anthony left - show up, have the interns make sure a comic is booked, Roland tries to bring guests in, and he just sits there. No ideas, no bits, afraid to pick up the phone. He can't sit there and let Anthony and Jimmy do a show while he does Soduku anymore. There's no need to board op, because the only thing they do is turn the board on.

He's a complete fucking slacker. He acts like he can just show up, and radio gold will happen. He has no regard for the hours of work other people like Sam, Jimmy, Steve C, Stuntbrain and the rest of the crew/interns put in to carry his dullard ass.

Well, now he faces homelessness, because his trophy wife ain't gonna accept spinning classic rock in Utica, NY, and pull Bronx and Canarsie out of their private NYC schools. Oh no. She's starting to phase Opie out too, you know she is.

5 years from now he'll be a permanent fixture at his brother's restaurant, at the bar. He'll annoy tourists by sliding up next to them, holds drink I used to do radio. It's a tough racket." drinks sniff

Opie has never been able to do radio alone, unless you count "The Midnight Attitude" which no autist seems to have online.

Great theme song though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsdexwdImnk

He had a few days where Ant was out, he did top ten lists for hours, this happened on WBAB and on WNEW.

Edit: I liked Spuds Buckley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTGSfnRGMlM

That theme song just makes me think, man, this dude is clearly demented and possibly a psycho. You don't wanna play with this dude bro.

Opie wasn't able to do a show with Ant and Jimmy there.

Clapping your hands and screaming "VURRY GOOD" is doing a show, for him.

SCREAMING at retards and people less fortunate than you is doing a show, for him.

Shaving a formerly homeless 60 year old virgin woman's hair while she shrieks and begs for you to stop, that's "doing a show" for him.

sniff

He never had a solo show, he was always surrounded by muppets and hoagie lovers

Wait I'm confused. Has opies show been cancelled already?

He's being "phased out".
