Lets hear your Rob's pool party theories
12 2012-08-20 by [deleted]
My take is he knew all along there was a good chance the party would be a dud. Rob didn't invite the few guys from the show he is friends with on Facebook via the Facebook event, this way he could monitor how many people he thought would be showing up at the party and cancel last minute if necessary without anyone from the show being able to figure this out. He lied about a ton of stuff, my guess is it's all about his lack of confidence in his turn out. I don't really blame him for that, it would suck looking like a loser in front of Jim and Ant, but he was a moron for continuing the lie for as long as he did.

His sheepish sorry's are fucking awful.

I wish someone from the show had made the trip out there. How awful and awkward would that have been had Jimmy gone to this dopes house and there was nothing/no one there.

I kept picturing Jimmy showing up in a bathing suit, sandals, a stupid fishermans hat with some sunscreen on his nose. When he sees no one is there he yells something like "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?"

what do you mean by "what we do now"?
1 Thecardinal74 2012-08-20
What we do know... Autocorrect, sorry
1 thedude831 2012-08-20
ah ok....he pretty much lied about everything at different times. All we know for sure is he cancelled the pool party. But even then, Opie was questioning if there ever was a party. I think he was just busting balls on that one, but Rob really did lie about everything
1 Thecardinal74 2012-08-20
Without hearing the show, and only speculating, I'd imagine he thought it would be awesome to have a party where celebrities came and it would make him feel cool in front of his friends, but then realized they would just come and rip on everything, especially him, humiliating him in front of his friends, so he cancelled.
At least, that's how I figured it would happen when they were talking about it last week...

Naw.. Listen to the show.

Don't you guys understand that sometimes the joke is on us?
2 Moh7 2012-08-20
Guys.. Its pretty simple.. And the intern even admitted it half way through so i dunno why people are wondering.
He cancelled it because no one was gonna show up. He says this about an hour in.

Im I the only one that actually want to get to the bottom of this?
1 Motherfrogger 2012-08-20
I did at first but it was like a 2 hour bit

100% sure that ALL his friends said they would attend if the staff shows up...with no RSVP from anyone he just cancelled the party cause he was embarrassed that no one said they were coming...

Here's a concrete theory.
It was fucking retarded to spend two hours on the radio. What great radio Opie brings with him.

Two hours on this? Well guess I'm fast forwarding through that horse shit.

Well, unlike Howie, the boys need to come up with 20 hours of original content every week. Sorry it aint all up to your standards... I'm sure that would be easy for you to come up with 80 hours of pure funny a month, right?
3 thedude831 2012-08-20
some times when you get to work on Mon morning you just say "fuck it, I'm not working today". That's def what the boys did today. At first I was kind of annoyed but then I realized I did the exact same thing so eh
4 zenlogick 2012-08-20
It go to the point where i was just laughing at Ants non-participation, the only thing he would say for the last 20-30 minutes of the bit was "i think we've EXHAUSTED ALL OPTIONS HERE" in this exasperated tone. Sometimes you would hear this distant "...yeah...." from him.
Just laughing at the last 20 minutes to see what Ant was going to say next when you know he didnt give two fucks about the entire thing.
I fukn love ant. No homo.
1 thedude831 2012-08-20
Ya, it was pretty clear the story was dragged out as much as it was because of Opie. Hell he even told people to tweet him after the show if they had any other theories. I am NOT an Opie basher, I know there are certain things he does bring to the show, but it was not good to have such a "meh" show directly after a "FUCKIN HOME RUN" on Friday. Our "anti-Opie" peeps around here prob loved it, at least a little.
3 EdmundRice 2012-08-20
So what you're saying is I shouldn't bother listening to todays show?
1 thedude831 2012-08-20
I listen all the time, no matter what so if you have nothing else to do I'd def say give it a listen either way. It's not that the pool party story was shit and shouldnt have been discussed at all, it just didnt need to go on for an hour 45 minutes. It was entertaining at first, but dragged on a bit.
1 zenlogick 2012-08-20
Depends. I got a genuine kick out of the last half hour of the bit like I said cuz of Ant, and afterword the rest of the show was okay. But you could certainly fast forward like an hour and a half.
To me man, even an hour of shit intern opie and anthony radio is better than anything else, including howard. But Im aware that not everyone is like me.
2 opieruinseverything 2012-08-20
oh indeed. this just proves our point. he's awful. he really moved the show along huh guys? really good display of knowing when to end a bit. he's just an unfunny douche. ant really gave no shits.
1 zenlogick 2012-08-20
i will give you a point today, you could tell everyone BUT OPIE wanted the fucking bit to end
and he kept trying to really go over the top with the "intern is crazy and something is wrong" angle and I really was cringing.
but you shan't win the war, opie-haters. you shan't win the war.
2 opieruinseverything 2012-08-20
we shall see zen.

It shows how the show has evolved. Opie wants celebrities and 'Stern' -like staff interactions on the show. Everyone else wants entertainment. He needs his own show, O&A has passed Opie by.
The contrast between Friday and Monday is glaring. I don't have a problem with anyone on the show, I just want to hear a good show, and NOBODY enjoyed that 2 1/2 hours of fucking stupidity.
I'm sure Opie said "I can see it, I know when people are lying" over 100 times during that segment, but I didn't listen to it. I got through the first 20 minutes or so, got sick of it so started skipping forward in 10 minute increments. And another 10, and another 10 etc etc. I couldn't fucking believe it. Asking the guy the same question and getting nowhere.
AND THEN the fucking Shit Show starts with talking about it, so I just skipped it entirely.
At least I managed to get caught up on the Rogan podcast and Skeptic Tank.
1 zenlogick 2012-08-20
The contrast is certainly strange. To go from Friday to today, lol.
Im also not an opie basher cuz I know that even though there may be shows like today from time to time, theres also shows like Friday from time to time. Shit gets balanced out :)
