They played to thirteen people if you are counted.

My God... I'm so glad I follow from afar these days.
1 all_copacetic 2018-07-26
I nearly got a brain tumor just reading that. You're really taking one for the team by doing this.
1 Not_My_Real_Acct_ 2018-07-26
wrong, SO WRONG
OpieRadio is one of the best podcasts out there. But only if you're into things like:
1) Saw
2) Hostel
3) The Human Centipede
4) Funkytown

Sounds wonderful
1 BoardroomBimmy 2018-07-26
This doesn't sound very good.
1 BaggySpandex 2018-07-26
When they used to have a packed Hard Rock Cafe I used to thing "ehhhh, it's kind of a small place, but it's still pretty cool and sound fun".
Now Opie gets 12 people to watch a live recording. I have no idea how he hasn't driven a bullet through his forehead yet.

He's a one-hit wonder still doing the tour, basically. I saw Quiet Riot play a bar in Detroit 15 years ago. At the height of their brief success, they played arenas.

This has to be a dream scenario for opie haters, i mean this is literally the worst way his career could have ended. If he got divorced lost all his money and became a bum, that would still be WAY more dignified than this nightmare. We are surpassing spinal tap levels of humiliation.
The only thing i wanna know if the originals like opiesucks are relishing this.
1 bozo_merkin 2018-07-26
As an OG hater (several accounts ago), I'm not satisfied at all. This is not the kind of gentle denouement I expected after he got fired for gay-filming a shitting retard at work. How subhuman do you have to be to not honor-kill yourself after that?
1 dom6502 2018-07-26
At the very least, there's not nearly enough public crying/emotional outbursts for me.
1 xactraiserx 2018-07-26
Come on if i were on opie position i would pray for the sweet release of death.
Going from thinking that he was the star of a succesful show, making millions of dollars, having a radio channel named after him, finally having a chance to prove that he didnt need anthony. To facing the harshest truth that he is a talentless piece of shit, doing a horrible show that crearly no one likes, and better yet now he HAS to face the numbers its not theoretical like in sirius xm, he can actually see how much of a nobody he is now. And not only that each episode is more humiliating than the last one, with Carl taking shots at him, ending in this golden moment of cringe with his hacksquad in front of 13 mildly bored strangers that have no idea who the fuck he is.
And finally confronting that anthony, jimmy and all the haters were 100% right it has to be a waking nightmare.

Sort of like the end of The Shield where instead of getting jail or killed, Vic gets stuck pushing paper for the rest of his career, his own sentence to a life of misery.
1 Not_My_Real_Acct_ 2018-07-26
Just thinking about the last season of The Shield gives me goosebumps.
In the history of television, I don't think we've ever had a show like that, where the writers knew exactly where it was going to end and every single chess piece makes sense.
I was a huge fan of "Lost", but the way that they tried to tie up all the loose ends in the last season was so terrible, it basically ruined the entire show.
With "the Shield" you get to see Vic Mackie taken down, brick by brick, for six years.
Plus, the whole Shane thing is about as tragic as any of the stories in "The Wire."
TLDR: I'M A FAN
1 dom6502 2018-07-26
It really was an incredible show. Totally ahead of its time and underrated.
1 dmix 2018-07-26
Gottdamn, I got another show I need to watch....
1 Psych555 2018-07-26
The ending of the shield is the greatest ending to a series, including the wire. And I love sucking the wires dick, so that's saying something.
1 americanmook 2018-07-26
Anyone who doesn't have the shield in their top 5 just didn't see it or have forgot
1 RacistPigeon 2018-07-26
A dream scenario would have Opie and Sam already dead by now.
1 hulkanator 2018-07-26
I'm positive your posts summarizing these shitty podcasts get more views than Opie does downloads. Thank you for suffering for our entertainment .
1 lifeobenreilly 2018-07-26
You must hate yourself.
1 Jungies 2018-07-26
You think the bartender announced that Carl was buying to the rest of the bar, or did he just take it as a fat tip from a fat head and charge everyone else as normal?
1 KangolVos 2018-07-26
Or Carl made it up and he went and shame-ate two Big Mac meals by himself.
1 goarlorde 2018-07-26
Thank you for your service.
1 ImDickJustice 2018-07-26
How do you get kicked out of Germany for buying beer?
1 dom6502 2018-07-26
I look forward to these like a horrendous hangover shit. It's an oddly similar experience.
1 Sockucucka 2018-07-26
What kinda man wouldn't hit on 17 year old?

This show is so bad even the dick spray guy wouldn't want to advertise on it.
1 deepdirt 2018-07-26
Thanks pal... but really... are you ok?
1 brmlb 2018-07-26
thank you for your service

Opie would have had more dignity if he had gone back to just spinning records.
1 FedallahX 2018-07-26
I'm sorry, I gave in and just had to listen to the 9 people part to see if it was an exaggeration...it wasn't. I was starting to feel bad for the guy until I listened to the Darian O'Toole bit on Youtube.

Opie was so condescending to her "How dare you pretended to have talked to me!"...
1 holodog 2018-07-26
The audience was shocked by the stupid Menino prank? What a bunch of upper crust fags.
1 StuntPeckah 2018-07-26
THE Nantucket Dreamland Theater?
1 BP-47 2018-07-26
Nate is a saint on eart'.
Following on from my last review, that was a little late to the party...
Joey the voice guy starts off, as Tits cannot introduce a show despite being a broadcaster since 1981, taking us through the highlights of the last shitshow and his cringeworthy 'Google me' incident. 'Gonna 'Lectric Chock OJ' is mentioned. Tits finally speaks, drops the 'been in radio since I was eighteen' line right away in front of ten people, as seen in the photographs, before handing off to Carl. The Hick Venley's accent sounds even worse with the microphone reverberation. They do the faggot 'YYYEEEAAAHHH!' when Fat Tongue shows up. Ugh.
They start with sharing a single microphone (mercifully), they make a big deal about a second microphone being found so they can talk over each other. Fawk. They talk about some teen guy who was kicked out of Germany for partying or some shit. They invite this guy on stage because fuck everything. Anything to let Tits hand off the show to someone else. They asked this guy about this story. His mother is in the audience. Lots of unnecessary laughter. They ask the guy's off-mic mother some questions, which sounds as good as you imagine. Carl says a woman stabbed him once outside a strip club. Carl talks about strip clubs in the south. Hick tells a story. Carl talks about treating new chefs like shit despite there being a low success rate from culinary school. Tits (remember him?) makes an awkward reference to swingers, while Carl is saying that bead and breakfast owners are creepy.
They finally get the teen guy off the stage, then Fat Tongue gets the guy's sister on the mic. He fails to grasp that she has two brothers. She wastes more time. Carl says that Tits was the only girl in his family. More crosstalk. More off mic talk with the mother. Fawk. They talk about rich people's names and the Swedish. More pointless laughter. Still with the teen girl. What the fuck is this, crowd work? Get on with the fucking show, faggots. Carl references his divorce and his stolen dog again. Tits asks the teen girl about underage drinking to drag this bullshit audience participation on. Not creepy at all, right? Carl mentions the jew and their devilish characteristics. They mention Carl's divorce again. His ex is friendly, now that she raped him out of everything and his dog. Carl the Cuck wasted $600 on drinks for women.
Another music break. Joey warns that Tits includes yet another civilian. Tits has another sponsor, Helix mattresses. Tits keeps repeating himself and spelling out words. We get it, Tits! Joey cuts in again to mention they are censoring names that Carl is mentioning in the next story. Carl bought off the locals in Napa Valley with drinks so they could drive sportscars around or something. Tits brings up another audience member who knew Tits from before O&A. They briefly talk about the Mayor Menino death hoax. Carl mentions (again) how a man should own a watch that can be cashed in for an apartment deposit, a mattress and a TV for when the woman inevitably fucks you over. He tried on a watch worth $450K in Nantucket. More watches talk. Fat Tongue and Carl are casing Nantucket for expensive merchandise.
People are finally walking out of this shitshow. They ask why they are leaving to no response, then mention how 2/3 of their audience is gone, seeing as there wasn't many there in the first place. Joey cuts past this to the wrap-up to some applause. The last ten minutes of the podcast is after the show. Back to 'podcast sounds' and people unaware that they are being recorded. They talk to the teens' mother again. Carl with more food trivia. Another cut to them in a car, where they are riding with an HVAC guy. Carl is trying to fuck some women later on. They call out to various rich Chads. Carl asks if Tits is still recording this irrelevant shit. They go into their hotel and it trails off to Joey giving an outro.
Tits is back to talk about podcast sounds as they got in the car earlier on. There's an exaggerated fake laugh, then Gloria burns Tits good by saying at least he made someone laugh. Cue 'OOOOOOOH!!!'
Tits has basically become Lazlow in GTA IV/EFLC. I just wish that the little cunt was broke.
