Did Opie do any actual solo shows after him and Jim split?

I listened to a bit of Opie's solo show, there where countless times he seemed panicked that the following day/week he didn't have any cohosts scheduled, did he ever have to do any solo shows?

I think one morning he did about 25 min, panicking, because Vic cancelled and Sherrod was late.

wasn't that the morning he grabbed Club Soda Kenny and made him sit in with him until help arrived?

Yes. I think that was it. Both his guest cancelled or was running late.

Not even. He did like 3 minutes of panic filler then pulled CSK in, and then I think erock, to bolster him. It was the moment that confirmed for me this incompetent can't do radio alone. Hell, even Sam can turn on a mic and take calls.

A true sign of a professional broadcaster, can’t do more than 3 minutes solo.

Sam is at his best alone with the occasional chime-in. Opie has no points to make or unique perspective. He's always been a backboard, facilitating talent with none of his own, and entirely replaceable.

I seem to remember an afternoon show he did alone, and he just took phone calls.
