He's using a "direct-to-garment" printer so he doesn't have to go out of pocket on the shirts. To hold inventory for all this product he would need to spend real money which we know he's not about to do.
The flip side is that to make any money you have to charge dumb prices. I wouldn't buy a $30 T-Shirt from a designer let alone a direct-to-garment shirt.
Who wants a shirt for a brand that doesn't exist? What is OpieRadio? Where can I find it? These questions can't be answered, but you can buy a $50 sweatshirt.
It’s just a joke about how because the Jews of NY were historically in the garment business (called ‘garmentos’ by other ethnic NYers), you are natively in possession of their sacred knowledge by descent.
Not a particularly funny or insightful joke. Really, I just wanted to use the word “garmento”.
Hold on hold on, some people are really reporting all this alleged chomo stuff about Anthony to real police? I thought we were just having some laffs on the subreddit.
Gotcha. But the joke is that in some small part, that knowledge is in your blood. Your garmento roots.
Like an Irishman saying “no, I just happen to like drinking 10 beers on a Sunday afternoon” as if it’s completely a matter of free will and not ancestry on some level.
The one he's wearing in video is one of 2 shirts I had printed in Brooklyn. We have less than 50 of each shirt still available and when they're all sold I'm not going to print up any more or offer that design. All other designs are yes DIRECT-TO-Garment. Hope this clears it up.
$30 for a shirt/hat and $50 for a hoodie before tax and shipping is a rip-off. Especially when most of his branded shirts are simple one color screens. You could do nice AA shirts, restitched necks, sell them for under 30 and make more per unit. Crazy to me that you would start a direct-to-garment store with 40 items.
Gregg Hughes has got to be the cheapest person on the planet.
If I had a radio show, I'd pony up and have about 500-1000 shirts printed up, and sell them for a low price. Probably about ten bucks. Sell them at a price point that a casual fan will buy and wear them. And then you get your brand out there.
For instance, I'm not a raving fan of "In 'n' Out Burger", but I bought a shirt, because it's ten bucks.
So I get a cheap shirt, they get some advertising, it's a win-win.
His orders are so low in volume he's payin top dollar to have only a few shirts printed at a time. Then once he adds his little taste they're grossly overpriced pieces of shit
I bought the brothaman t shirt in 3XL. doesn't fit now but it will after I get my gastric sleeve so no big deal. i'm more upset that they don't have anymore droppin' hammers t shirts since I ripped mine. I love brother elmo but he needs to offer larger sizes and more new designs!
If you go to the "contact" page and press f5 after sending a comment, it reloads the page with all the fields already filled in. I've sent about 50 "fuck you"s in the span of a minute
No ones ever bought one of those, every basic bulkshit radio show in the country has stupid t-shirts & merch’ printed up to give away to employees, guests & fans at promotional events but Opie is the only idiot who actually tries to sell them.

$50 for an Opie Radio hoodie. $30 for a Brothaman Brothaman t-shirt. He doesn't set these prices does he?

I dont think you understand, if this was 2004 those t-shirts would be flying off the shelves.

To use a Colin Quinn phrase, you’re really showing your garmento roots.

Yeah, I just know how t-shirts are made.

Honest question: You've given us a great bomb with Anthony; some of us have reported it to the local authorities, anonymously.
Do you have anything else you can give us about Opie that may not be Anthony-level illegal, but is still super embarrassing to say the least?
1 Mu_Scevich 2018-04-08
Opie picks his nose and eats it. Isn’t that bad enough?

also he probably is not in a bad financial situation, why not make it cheaper and try to get a bigger audience that way (something he lacks)

1 celestial_detrital 2018-04-08
Well I'm sure he paid for the photos so reporting him would do nothing but cause hassle for everyone involved.
It's just weird that he would sell shirts with other people's photos on them when he's so proud of his own photography...
