This week the topic of conversation is Gregg "Opie" Hughes, well known from the Opie and Anthony show. Gregg was fired from Sirius XM in 2017 but he's back in 2018 with... a terrible podcast.  There's no flow, nothing interesting, no rhyme or reason for this show to exist. Guys in their 50s and 60s stand around and make small talk. Brother Wease must be proud of his protégé. Jen from the Jingles Department joins the show to agree with everything Karl has to say.

Today we're reviewing a podcast called OP Radio. We both listen to the show. We've tried really hard not to discuss it with each other beforehand. Let's get into it. OP Radio is a brand new podcast by Westwood one starring our friend Greg OP Hughes. Westwood one starring our friend Greg Opie Hughes. I am weary. From the Opiean Anthony show. I'm weary from listening to this. Jen and I go back quite a ways

with Opiean Anthony. What happened is Greg Opie Hughes was finally fired by serious for sucking and for taking pictures of a coworker, shitting that's a whole other thing. Yeah. No need to get into that. It took him about 10 months to finally land another gig and everyone was wondering what's he gonna do? Serious is fired him. Where is he gonna go? He's gonna trust your radio as he do something new. He's doing a podcast with the same assholes he was doing a terrible radio show with it's serious and it's exactly the same thing. It is Vic Henley Sharad Small and usually this guy Carl, who's a chef, he wasn't on the episode that we listen to. No. It's the same cast of characters, these unfunny people that

Opie Saras himself with. And it's the same nonsense that was going on that no one was listening to on serious. He's such a one trick pony. Like I could I could not tell if you put this on and I didn't know better. I would say this was from 1995. Right. He's not changed his format. He's not changed his attitude. He's not funny.

He's a shock shock. And the way that he gained notoriety was through all the shock jock ways that you do that. Right. Getting girls up into the studio, shoving things, you know, with all bats and girls and all the things that used to do in the 90s that you can't do anymore. Right. Because finally people are like, well, you know, there's like a me too movement and this is probably inappropriate. So now he's this guy who's trying to live in a world that has deserted him You can't do what he's famous for doing and he's trying to be funny and roll with the punches

He's brought on unfunny comedians on to a show and he's unfunny Here is a clip that sums up the episode we listen to guilty by association This is like they're fourth or fifth podcast, but remember they've been doing this for years together The this cast of characters. They should have a lot of chemistry. They should know what they're doing This is exactly what we and by the way the show was two hours long. Oh, I know I find I finally got through it this morning I finally got to the end my clips are all from the first hour or so because that was that was enough Yeah, I have like over 50 fucking clips. I know. I know. It's just everything that I know I did on the time. But everything I heard. I'm like, I got to talk about this. Here's the here's the clip that sums it up. No, we

don't have iron. Tell me what appeals is because I'm never heard of. Let me set this up. They're hanging out at a guy's bar. Okay, they decide that they're gonna do a podcast from a bar. Yeah. It'll be brings us equipment, set it up, and they have on this guy, Vic, and this guy, Sharad, who are supposedly comedians. I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

And then they're talking to the owner of the bar. And this is how this conversation goes down. No, we don't have iron city. Tell me what Pills is, because I've never heard of. Pills is, I mean, it's right now it's being brewed at Captain Lawrence. But I think it was an upstate New York product. Oh, okay. Way back when, but it was, you know, that cheap stuff that you had to buy

because it was that price. Oh, certainly. Hold on, Shrada's setting up his own life. It's working on his equipment. It's a two-man job. Yeah, we're a top notch. Oh, certainly. Hold on, not sure how to setting up. It's working on as a quick one. It's a two-man job. Yeah, we're a top notch. No, that's broken. That's right now. What is Iron City?

It's a switch mark. Hey, you know what, guys? This right here, this rambling boring conversation, this is what the show is. Nonsense. Boring rambling conversations with old men. Yeah. OPs in his mid to late 50s, at this pointambling conversations with old men. Yeah. Ope's in his mid to late 50s at this point.

Yeah, at least. And this guy, Vic Henley, I don't know a ton about him, nobody does, but he's old. I didn't realize who he was. I thought he was Larry the cable guy. Oh, yeah, he wishes. He wishes he was Larry the cable guy. How do you get Larry the cable guy in a shitty podcast? Vic Henley, it's interesting.

I wanted to do some research on who this guy is. And this is gonna sound harsh. But remember that OP used to do a show with Jim Norton. They used to have these guests on Amy Schumer and David Tau and Colin Quinn. They would constantly have top-notch comedians that you wanted to listen to. And now OP has fallen so far. He was a multimillionit,

well, he's still has, but he was making millions of dollars a year working for Sirius. He's now doing a podcast for Westwood one with no business model. I don't know how he makes money on this. There are no advertisements. They don't talk about Patreon. There's no business model here. He's just doing a rambling conversation show for no reason. And he's got this guy, Vic Henleyon. Vic Henley is so not famous. The only reference to him on Wikipedia is his brother's Wikipedia page. But I'm not joking.

If you want to find out who Vic Henley is, you go to Terry Henley's Wikipedia page. He was a college football star in Auburn in the early 70s. Wow. That's about as unfamous as you can be and still have a wiki page. He's so not famous, this Vickemla guy, that his not famous brother is more famous than him.

Figure that out. I have never heard of him in my life, and I know a lot of comedians, like not personally, but I know of a lot of comedians, and that's one I've never heard of. Moving on, what do you got? Well, okay, so I thought I'd start with the intro.

Okay. It's track one. Oh yeah. The OP radio podcast. Isn't that the exact same music he used to kind of use? I think it's the sideways, radio's the machine song. Because they used to have that Ray James the machine music. When he did Opian Anthem,

when it was Opian Anthem, it was the same thing, like, wait a minute. But it's a little bit sideways. I noticed that too. I didn't do a lot of research to that, but it's like to get you excited, like you used to get excited. I'm like, all right, Jim Norton's gonna be here.

It's Anthony is. Jim Four Tees on the show, and say, like, oh, that's gonna be great. If you're lucky, Opian's not there, he's not vacation. Right, those are always the best ones. When it was just Anthony and Jim, maybe Jim Florentine, God.

This is OP in a nutshell. He's so unaware of what is interesting anymore and what people care about. And he thinks that he's like this friend brother guy still, even though he's in his 50s. Yeah. So at some point, they're just doing the podcast, they're talking in this bar and Sharad Small,

who's one of the guys on the show, shows up. That was one of the beers that inspired the grandpa's fridge, which is at my other location. Okay. I was, yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

I think I'm a wolf. Somebody. Hey, Schrock, can you grab your mic? I gotta plug it up. Plug another mic in. What do you want in here? They just all search screaming because this guy who's scheduled to be there shows up. I know. This wasn't a surprise.

No. I mean, it's surprising that all the guests weren't there to start the show. I want to point something out to this is important to note. So they're in this place called getards and I'll get to that. It's a bar in Manhattan. And back in the day, Owing Anthony would do these remotes where they would go to a venue and do their show. Uh huh.

But the show was actually amplified throughout the venue and the audience was all there to see it and watch it and participate. And they would be you'd hear people laughing and yelling stuff out and it was a show. These guys are just doing a podcast in a bar by themselves. There's like a little rope around them. Oh, I know.

And people are just milling about, going about their day, you hear traffic driving by. There's no reason for them to be in public doing this. I know. At one point, they towards the end, I did get almost to the end. I didn't quite finish listening to it. Yeah. There were some, uh, tourists visiting New York, having a conversation. You can loudly hear. Right.

They're not there from Amsterdam. If you want to play track six, they're just waving. They're waving at the people. They're friends that coming in. They didn't even know that this is the Dutch. The Dutch is a real white rope ball. They came in bad. I like that they so so white, they make OP look Puerto Rican. So he got upset because these tourists didn't realize that he was doing a podcast. It's rope golf, they're just cavity conferences,

they're just babbling. I'm like, they're in a bar. Yeah, you're in a bar in the afternoon in Manhattan. So OP does not understand anything about podcasting at all. This is him setting up the facts of their at this place called Gapards. And this week I find myself in the neighborhood, the Upper West Side of Manhattan, I'm on 72nd Street and one of my favorite beer joints that's called Gapards and I got the owner of Get Parts in front of me, Matt. Hello. I love your joint brother.

Thank you. Okay. The crazy thing is, so Opie will just have anybody on the show or just ramble. We'll get more into that. But Opie still thinks he's doing local radio because he grew up in Rochester doing radio, Buffalo, Boston, New York. He's traveling around having a local radio show and he still thinks that's what he's doing, but he's not. He's traveling around having a local radio show and he's still thinks that's what he's doing, but he's not. He's doing a podcast. So this is so local radio ask.

And explain to the people that don't know get parts on the upper west side. Yeah, it's a bottle shop bar restaurant. So we do, we've got about 300 different bottle beers bottles and cans and then 16 rotating draft beers mostly craft high-end import and then your grandpa's favorite old Swill grandpa cans boring you're boring everybody. We're boring everyone. Thanks, Kraus. Thanks for that job Why would anybody care? You're listening to a podcast. He's promoting this guy's bar that is a Why would anybody carry a listen to a podcast? He's promoting this guy's bar that is a seven hour drive from where I live. Why would I carry about this?

And again, he thinks it's radio, and I've talked about this before. Why don't I make a touch on? That's all I get to make noise. I do what I do, I do what I'm in a bar. I can't prove. Jesus. So he's talking about the fact that he's at Get Parts

and he explains where it is and that they're there and how many beers they have on tap and all this stuff. It's a podcast, you hear that, you've heard it. It doesn't matter if it's an hour long, three hours long, you listen to a podcast from the beginning to the end. That's how podcasting works. And an hour into the show, he gets back into plugging it again.

Yes. You need another one. Let's do a drinking game. Here, here, here. Have some of that. A little verb, we're at Get Parts on you need another one. Let's do a drinking game We're at get parts on the upper west side. There's a great joint. I'm gonna do a lot of podcasting this place I love this right second between West End and Broadway, so he has to explain again where the places and what they're doing Hopefully no one's just joining the show now. I know I think that he's doing the radio again Well, he is so out of touch.

Oh, he's wild. He's so out of touch. I don't I would argue he's probably never really been in touch, maybe for a brief moment in time, but I think that was just by accident. So I have a lot of clips to get through. Again, this is just Opie thinking he's doing local radio. Where are we? 72nd Street between West and Broadway. If you're in here, city, man, this is definitely a joint to check out. Yeah, some things. Welcome by here, some tasties.

All right, we'll get into this discussion about the tasties. They're doing all the things you shouldn't do when you're doing a podcast. They're explaining where they are, what's going on around them. Looking at people and going, oh, look at that person. Which, Krozer pointed out in the show, when we are on Weez's show, he did the exact same

thing. We're on the radio, and this guy, brother Weez and Rochester, is looking out the window and going, look at that guy's hat. Right. And we're broadcasting to people who are listening to this show. and I just wanted to point out Jim Forrantin Who is a friend of the show friend of OPs big on Oping Anthony big friend of Jim Norton He does a podcast and he even explains in the intro of his podcast every episode Why nobody wants to listen to local radio anymore?

Listen to podcast is because you're not listening regular listen to local radio anymore. Right. It does stink. It stinks because people like OP and Weez still think that they're so interesting that they can talk about something you don't know what they're talking about and you would give a shit. That's what the show is. Right. It's not stuff talking about things no one cares about. All right, let's talk about tasties. Ugh. They see hot girls walking by this bar and they refer to them as tasties. I know, and yuck.

It was yucky. I mean, these are 50s, 60 year old men judging 20 somethings and calling them tasties. But not only that, they're ranking them. They're rating them by number. I'm out of question. Because that's such a hack thing. Right, so I'm pretty sure, okay, I have two clips about this.

Okay. So three, do three. Yeah, some things walking by here, some tasties. Wow, I don't know. You don't get a lot of tasties on the upper left. Yeah, you nod you can, the international flavors like unless you're into baby carriages then then Not the local's not the locals all the people who visit the city and go to Central Park And then

We'll rate the we'll rate the girls as they walk Okay, so far we've seen two fours and a five and a half now the new seat aligned for the hall and those yes What is that about I don't know oh Jesus Christ All right, so Again, these are people who have nothing going on in their lives. They're super fucking boring and it is The most nonsense conversation. I want to pick up where you left off there. I call this mundane conversation It's so far we've seen two fours and a five and a half now the New Zealand line for the whole knows yes, what is that about? I don't know it's around the corner Yeah, it's because it's the first form day. Everybody wants ice cream. Yeah, that's what I'm eating idea

But yeah, it was invisible school just got out and it's a bunch of pounds. Yeah, absolutely Well, we went from went to right into summer. Once again, but that place is so tiny 40 to 70 my allergies Exit do you guys get allergies? Yes. Yes, man. All right, I just want to point out everything that's wrong with that clip that we just heard.

It's so mundane, they talk about rating girls. Oh, that's a look at that four and a half. As if any of these girls would never even look at OP or Vic Henley. Oh my god. Or any of these assholes. Then they talk about the long line at the ice cream place. I know, that I couldn't you believe a lot that line isn't for ice cream, right?

Oh, yeah And then they talk about what time of year it is and then they talk about the weather and Then they talk about allergies which Opie pronounces LG's My LG's am I right guys? As Kroz would say, in what universe is this qualifies entertainment? In what universe is anyone care about this conversation? Well, it's a worldwide for ice cream. Man, fucking weather, right?

Yeah, my LGs. This is the kind of shit that I walk away from in any social setting. When alone, I'm downloading a podcast and listening to a for entertainment for entertainment the fuck is wrong with these people I don't know all right let's talk about dumb opus because that's always fun that could take a while opus starts talking about how he doesn't like IPAs and he explains why IPAs are how they are how do I tell Dave that I don't like IPAs you know me and Carl but just talked about IPAs you know why they're so bitter? Why?

So they could survive the trip to America. Yes. Wow. Do you know what IPA stands for? India Pale Ale. India Pale Ale. It has nothing new surviving a trip to fucking America. It's out of the 19th century when India was still

owned by the British and they were sending beer to the British who lived in India, they had to put a lot of hops in it so that it wouldn't go bad. That's why it's nothing to do with America. Okay. Everybody knows that. And then this fucking shirad character is also clue as he says this.

Oh, so they put what extra barley in it? After whatever that have to keep it, uh, you know fresh I like everybody knows that IPA tastes the way they do because they're happy He goes also they put extra barley in there. Yeah extra barley. That's exactly what they do. You fucking idiot nice and chunky And then the problem with Opie as a broadcast or he's so unprofessional is he's having this discussion about IPAs which is boring and mundane but then he just sees someone he knows and just acts like it's okay to break everything that they're

doing and focus on that. But they didn't make it so better for for people. Hey, what's up, man? What's going on? Everybody knows oh, it's all my neighbor. Our kids play together. Okay, we got to get past the high level security. That's razor wire right there. Double Dutch before you run in. When you come back, come on up and join the podcast. Yeah. Alright. There you have it. Wait, you know what I'm saying? I think I know everybody. You know that me and my, basically, his daughter and my son. Oh, same age, right?

Yeah. Oh yeah. Who cares? Who would possibly care about this? And this is what the problem is with Opie doesn't understand He was writing the coattails He's literally like Inspector Gadget. You know like how Inspector Gadget has no idea what he's doing Yeah, but he's got like the dog in the than the girl and they do all the shit for him and he takes full credit

That's Opie. Yeah, Opie had Anthony and Jim Norton and Jim Norton's That's OP. OP had Anthony and Jim Norton and Jim Norton's network of all of these comedians and all of these people he was friends with. And they would come on the show and make the show entertaining for years. Oh, so great. And OP thinks that he did that. OP thinks that it just becomes out of his mouth is interesting. It's not interesting in any single way. He's a terrible broadcaster. He's a professional broadcaster It's always never done his entire life is beyond the radio. He has the worst broadcasting voice. Yeah, what listen to this? They'll be fine whatever school they go to that's right. Yeah, but my daughter is only five She's in her third year of school and she was interviewing it like three. Yeah

There's more coming actually. I think she was interviewing before no, she was two Yeah, there's more coming. Actually, I think she was interviewing before. No, she was too. I hate when he does that high register Opie thing. Third year of school. Third year of school. It's so obnoxious. This is a, this is what counts as a professional broadcaster

in today's day and age. How is that possible? He has some things he could talk about, which is interesting, such as getting fired from serious and what he's been doing since and the struggling, maybe that he's been doing, if something more real, but he's not talking about any of that stuff

that I'd actually want to hear about. He's talking about all those other bullshit that I don't care about. He doesn't talk about anything real at all. Later on in the show, he talks about Sam Kinnison came on the show when he was in Rochester. Mm-hmm.

And this clip pisses me off so much. Anyone who knows OP, this is so obnoxious that he says this. Kinnison changed my life, because I was like in Rochester trying to be a radio guy with the radio voice and just the central records. And two influences, Brother Wease, I was lucky to work under him and do whatever he needed

because I knew he was special. And then he had a friendship with Sam Kinnison. Sam Kinnison came into Rochester and hung out for the whole week doing radio. That day I went, oh my God, I'm doing all of this wrong. What am I doing? I'm not saying that I agree. No, he made me go.

He had it. To go everything in no way and just try to be yourself and just try to be edgy and you know what I mean? Yep. So this is so frustrated because OP is nothing but fake. And that was the reason why he's had a falling out with everyone that he was around. Right. Anthony Hatesum, Jim Norton Hatesum, all of the people who are part of that show on the fringes of it have all distance themselves from Opie. Yes, and I also think that he probably didn't treat them very well in addition to just treating, you know, I think that he was just kind of an asshole to them. They haven't come out and said it as...

Well, Anthony has. All right, well Anthony has come out and said that Opie was an Ath on and Opie's name is Greg and he used to talk about when he was in a mood yet to step on Greg shells. They're walking on Greg shells because he would just snap at people Jimmy's a little kinder but he alludes to well Jimmy's created an entire character chip chiperson which I don't think was originally Opie but he's become OP. Yeah.

And we'll talk more about that, but it's amazing because he does a weekly podcast now, the Chip Chipperson podcast. Which I love. That is just ripping on OP. If you know what he's talking about, all they're doing is goofing on OP sucking. Well, it's just, it's great if you watch it, too, because you can see the delight in Anthony's face. Well, there's 20 years they spent with this asshole,

and he has no self-awareness. I was nobody, I wasn't doing anything special. I'd met Sam Kennison, which to me was like, holy crap, throw it the way. Do something different, be yourself, and don't worry about what people are gonna say about you. Don't worry about what people are gonna say about you. That's all this guy does.

I know. He's on Twitter Twitter non-stop The subreddit for open Anthony has Ruined him psychologically because these people just rip on him and he fucking can't stand it So they just double down and double down and it's now just a hate fast all he does is care about all people say about him Skins has no self-awareness whatsoever And this guy Vic Hanley is on the show. He seems like he's an asshole too. This is a guy who came up with all these comedians. There's

so much a name-dropping going on in the show. And he's a nobody. Well, I've never heard of him. I've never heard of him. Nobody's ever heard of this guy. I have a clip that shows how he is lacks any type of self-aware awareness. He's talking about his family and how he gets along with his family. I kind of like hanging with my mom's side of the right. Right. Right. Right. And they didn't like me either. So it sort of dripped it down there. Wait, so why didn't he like you? Oh, cause I look like my dad and they hated him. Jen, does that make any sense? The guy goes, my family doesn't like me, so I went with my mom's side of the family. They don't like me either. Well, maybe you're an asshole. No, no, no, no. I look like someone they don't like and that's why they don't like them.

Really, Vic? You're a six-year-old, whatever, and you think the people don't like you because of the, you look like someone who who might, your personality sucks. That's the fucking problem here. I have a clip where they talk about tasties again. Yep, I call this another tasty. It doesn't matter. Where are you looking at? Right here, coming from the hotty. All right, not about the nine. We got another hotty.

This is another tasty man. Yeah, but it's one out of 10 tops. That's all right, I'll take that one. That's all right. I hate his bro downs. I hate it. It's so unnatural. It's not the way guys really talk.

Well, not the guys I hang around with, because they're not talking that way when I'm not around or something. No, I actually have conversations with guys who are attracted to women and that is not how we talk at all. It's so unnatural, so gross. It is really gross. This is so that I Ben showed up at one point. Yes. And that was well, their kids play together. Okay. And maybe they're neighbors, but he's like, Oh, yeah, my son and his daughter, the same age.

Okay. Okay. And he he tells Ben to join the show. because yeah, that makes sense. So then this is Ben joining the show Vic What do you see you see I opened doing some disturbing things in an neighborhood? Not really. Okay, a couple of things going on here. First off, Vix goes, so what, we're just gonna invite anyone you know to join the podcast and Opie's like, yep, that's what we're doing.

It looks like, I like that. That's a good idea. I think, no, that's not a good idea. And then, of course, Sharad tries to make it interesting. He's like, so yeah, what's fucking Opie up to? The guy's like, nothing. Yeah. Okay, great.

That's what happens when you bring boring mundane fucking people and you're boring mundane show. It just becomes as bland as fucking possible. Why would anybody care about this? We even talked about this in the intro to the show, which I fight ironic. So I played on the T's last week if you listen to the show that we did about Howard Stern. I teased that we're doing OP radio and I had to play

for the first minute and a half of the show is Wies talking about OP and of course Wies talking about Wies because I can't help himself. But this is a clip from the beginning of the show where it's our buddy from Rochester brother is Opio take regular people off the street. That's the way I love to do it. I get yelled at a my radio station for book and people that aren't famous I love taking any but whoever you are I'm listening to come on because that's how opi does and it's funny Nope Hope he does and it's funny. Nope. That's the selling point.

This is what I like to do. I thought you'd fucking anyone off the street, which we's does. I was there when it happened. He just started talking to some homeless guy, but it's not funny or interesting. And he's like, that's what hope he does. Like, well, first off, not to get on this bad wagon, but how it's certain how to invented this with a whack pack, where he would just bring on these crazy people, but Howard was onto something

and he's like, oh, this guy's semi-retarded. We should bring him onto the show, this is funny. Whereas, Oby just goes, oh, this is my buddy, his kid plays with my kid. Let's just have him on the show. And then guess what happened? A boring conversation ensues. No shit. Always the kind of person who went like if I bumped into him at a concert or something,

I just walked to the other side of the arena. Yeah, he just said someone you want to get away from. Yeah, I don't like him. I don't think he's funny. So the guy, not Ben, who's the guy, Matt owns the bar. Yes. Matt is the bar owner at Gephard's. That's too many people, remember? And they're talking to Matt for a while. Isn't it weird that every week I learn about all these fucking people I don't care about? Yeah. And have to explain this.

I don't know how you do this every week. It's getting old. I was really irritated this week because of this. This is a tough podcast, or I said, though. This one's a tough one. It's hard because I just can't. A lot of hatred for OP's wasted a lot of my life. I've kept phasing out of it though.

I could bet, I mean, I physically had my ear, can't speak her, and I still couldn't listen to it because I kept spacing out. I'm not listening to it and thinking of something else. So this is the guy Matt, and they're trying to explain that, dude, it doesn't matter if you're on the show or you just want to come up and grab a mic like everyone can be entertaining. So Matt comes out with a zinger that gets way too much play.

We don't know what to do anymore. Put the girls in charge, man. Right, bring back Sadie Hoppe. Bring it back permanently. Yeah. No question we know. Yeah, she started it. Everything's fine.

Exactly. That will help to me too. permanently no question we know everything's fine. That will help the me too hashtag ask me too hey we're gonna get a lot of people are funny we're gonna get a lot of people can be

amazing. You own this way this is why i hate Vic regular people are funny regular people can be funny too. Vic, you're a fucking nobody. Who are you to call someone a regular person? Fuck you. Vic Henley is, as I mentioned,

doesn't even have a wiki-pedia page. I don't know any comedian that doesn't have a fucking wiki entry. This guy's a nobody, and he's a ploddy this guy for his hashtag, Ask Me To joke. Yeah. Um, I'm sorry, I'm gonna keep going here. Please do, I have very little contribute.

I just didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to do about it. I didn't know what not to do. This is my problem. I listened to this, and I hated everything I heard. And it took me hours to clip from this because everything was clipable. I'm like, oh, need to talk about this.

Here is after that brilliant joke from Matt, they're like, oh, we got to talk to this guy some more. So what do you talk about with a bar owner in Manhattan? What would be an amazing conversation to have with him? Oh, I know. What did this place used to be? What was it before you had it? It was nothing for two years before that it was It literally sat here for take-house

It's sat here for two years. I'll not go boring Who could possibly give a fuck? We're in a place that I don't care about and then I'm gonna find out what it used to be before it was the place I don't care about Wow, why would I possibly give a flying fuck about what this place used to be? Are they trying to fill time? It's a podcast. You don't have to fill time That's the thing. It can be 30 minutes. That made me so angry. I said why is it so long? You should have it should have zero minutes, but it could be 30 minutes. This is the problem with radio guys 45 minutes minutes. Opie's going back to time and weather, time and traffic time weather.

Like he's still fucking hitting those beats that don't need to be hit anymore. Oh yeah, it's one of the mind you guys. We're at GEPards on 72nd. Dude, stop it. Stop it. No, you've already said where you are. You shouldn't be there. It's obnoxious. Here's a clip that I call Opie is boring. But he also lacks self-confidence and rightfully so. Listen to him at the end where all the sun he just loses all of his self-confidence, it has to try to get everyone to support what he's saying. I was talking about those old school

beers with Carl last week and it just brings you back to being a kid when you drink a slits or a PBR, right? It brings you back to being a kid, you know? And then no one's like, not in the head. He's like, right? And I love that Opie has surrounded himself with Yasman. Uh-huh. Opie needs to have this reassurance all the time that he's funny and that he's interesting.

He'll tell jokes that are not funny that people laugh at. Here's an example. And what I love about this is that OP is the one laughing the hardest at it. Martin Luther King, okay. Yes, the black is the name of a black school. And then there's a McDonald's. Oh, when it comes out. When yours white as me, walking past that McDonald's is

How I could use a joke about getting on a subway Everything about that makes me cringe So here is an example of Opie telling a joke that people don't over the top laugh at and he gets very uncomfortable about it He has to address it. Oh, okay. Oh, what's his name who died of the preacher? Who flew through the windshield? Oh, he does say do. Oh, he achieved. God, you haven't, I'm just black now.

That's not a thing. Oh, he's so used to everyone fake laughing all the time. He goes, Greedle said, do you cheat? And then I don't know if he was actually trying to make a joke. So then he like fake laughed and then nobody else did and he goes, that bombed. I think maybe he thought he had the right answer and then retended it was a joke and then acknowledged that it bombed. I think you're giving him way too much credit. Can I just real quick play a quick compilation I put together? This is OP laughing. This show is so

fucking fake. It's a lot least, Colin Quinn used that much. I'm like, I'm like, I'm supposed to know. No, you did not. No, you did not get a Mexican Christmas. Say by the bell had more realistic laughing on it. Oh, that's a great laugh track though. Then this show, it's so over the top fake. And the thing that I've learned that I hate about OP,

and I did come to this conclusion listening to this show, spending a few hours listening to OP again, it's been a while, is he's constantly selling. Yeah. There was even another episode of this that I listened to where it's just him talking. I think you and I were actually listening to this in the car. It's just him talking before he gets anyone else on the show and he goes, yeah, man, like

I'm getting tons of great feedback on the podcast and Westwood won his love and what we're doing. He used to talk about that all the time. It's serious. Yeah, man. The brass here. They love what we're doing, getting lots of great feedback. He's constantly selling everything. This place is amazing. We're at this beer bar. This place is so great. This guy is hilarious. We're having so much fun. Everything

he says is fake. Except for this time he was sitting in his car with a microphone. Correct. But he's always trying to sell me something. Right. And I don't believe him. No, and you should. I don't think anything is sincere or honest. Well, he isn't, because he's gotten caught and mannilized. Correct. Correct. And over his career. That actually gets me into the Kurt Schilling story

if we can do that. Before I do that, let me just set it up real quick. You're gonna take a commercial break? Yeah, let's pay some bills. Let's set this up. There's the guy Matt who owns the bar. And then there's this guy, Ben who's Opie's buddy because their kids play together. They're both from Phoenix.

So they acknowledge this fact because the one guy's wearing like a diamond bags hat or so. And they start talking about Arizona. And OP has nothing to contribute, but has to be part of the conversation because it's OP radio. So he drops this in. Arizona rules, man. These guys are talking about specific places and things that they've done. And OP just Arizona rules, man.

It's a whole fucking state in the desert. What do you mean Arizona rules man? Can you elaborate on that? What are you talking about? I don't know. I don't know either. So they talk about the fact that the Diamondbacks started in 98. They had this AAA baseball team that was very well attended.

And because of that, they got a major league baseball team that was very well attended. And because of that, they got a major league baseball team. So OBS to start talking about AAA baseball. And again, it's about this selling. He has to sell everything to the point where it's just unrealistic. When I lived in Rochester, we did AAA up there and they kill it also in a lot of way, they kill it also. Triple A ball was so much fun to watch. It's like so much fun. Jen, you and I have been to dozens of triple A baseball games. Oh, yeah. Here in Rochester, have you ever described it to a friend as, it's so much fun to watch, it's so much fun.

I never have. In fact, I don't watch the game most of the time. No, it's not that much fun to watch. No, it's not. This short set makes an error every third play. It's not that much fun to watch. This short stop makes an error every third play. It's not that much fun to watch, but it's so much fun. OBS to just sell everything. So here's him talking about Kurt Schilling used to be a Rochester Redling for one season. And at that time, Opie was living in Rochester. So of course, Opie being this dynamite personality that he is, you not charismatic.

Opie befriends this young Kurt Schilling who then goes on to start him in World Series wins, but this is the setup to this. That's where I met Kurt Schilling. Kurt Schilling was a young gun. I knew Kurt when he was 20, 21 years old playing for the Rochester Red Wings, and back then they already knew this guy was gonna be one of the best Okay, so that's him he met Kurt Schilling and now he has to set up that he's gonna tell a story Can I tell a quick Kurt Schilling story so fast forward?

Can you I doubt it? I doubt you could tell a quick Kurt Schilling story and you know somebody is terrible at storytelling when they have to use this phrase. Long story short, it's spring training, who walks in, Kurt Schilling and the entire team. He's got two bimbo's on his arms. All the strippers in this joint knew him, right? Okay, what he's talking about here is, now he's in Buffalo, a couple of years later,

he's doing radio in Buffalo, he's doing overnight's. He goes out with his programming manager, whoever it is. They go to a strip club. And if you heard what he just said there, he goes fast forward a couple of years, it's spring training. Okay, I know you don't know, it's honnobot baseball, but pictures and catchers report to spring training

before the rest of the team may be part in February. Okay. Do you know where they report to? I'll give you a hint, not fucking Buffalo, New York. Buffalo, New York in February is fucking cold. It's impossible to play baseball when it's snowing sideways, okay? So he's talking about the fact that it's spring training,

Kurt Schilling and the whole team shows up. What team? Spring training goes on down in the fucking South and in the Southwest. There's no such thing as a league that's going in in Buffalo, New York. So he's fucking lying. This is the thing about OP. Is it? He's always lying and I grabbed this ISO that is so funny. Is that a real story? It's not a real story, OP. Because I highly fucking doubt it. So, all right, we know these lines because he said, I'm in Buffalo. I'm in

a strip club, Kurt Schilling walks in with the whole team during spring training. Okay, can't possibly be true. Right. So now this is the exciting conclusion. OP is saying how he's broke. He's only making a little bit of money back then. And they're in the strip club and he's stressed out. He doesn't but thank God Kurt Schilling is there and of course their best buds and I tell Can I know that guy he goes yeah, right? So I kind of wave and and Kurt loses mine Couple years at this point and then all sudden Everything is on me And then all sudden everything is on me

So So we're talking about a 23 25 year old OP who's doing overnight in Buffalo He's not open from open Anthony. No, he hasn't met Anthony Kumiya yet. Who's the talent behind and Anthony. He doesn't know Jim Norton, who's one of the funniest stand-ups to Everlive. He's just Opie. Right. He's in a strip-cup in Buffalo. Kurt Schilling walks in and goes, holy fucking shit,

Opie is here. Kurt Schilling is freaking out that Opie is there. Does that sound like it's possible, Rachel? No. And then, because Opie are ruined every single bit, and it must be tough. If you're lying through your teeth about shit, it's hard to keep your head straight

on how you should be reacting to things, but you heard at the end there, Kurt Schilling says, the nights on me, right? Whatever you guys wanna do. So immediately, the comedians in the room start fantasizing on, what would you do with unlimited money

in a strip club? And they go right to this thing where it's over the top, like I'd be drowning strippers and strike, like, yeah, it's like this weird, okay, whatever, they're going, they're going for the shock humor, I'm fine with that. But OP, this is a glimpse into the psyche of OP, he has to, he's never in on the gag, he never gets it.

He always ruins the bit. Yeah. And I would, I would, he has to, he's never in on the gag, he never gets it. He always ruins the bit. Yeah. I like two or three strippers in there. I would have been drowning the back. It's all hurt. Crazy. He said everything on him. Lap dance is.

Everything. Choke out. Yeah. It's amazing. So they're saying I would have been drowning strippers. It's on him and Opie goes everything lap dances. It's like dude, you're so far behind this conversation. And even after he said that, they kindly asked us say,

yeah, it's triangle in like, Opie, come on. We're way past lap dances at this point. We're trying to make this funny, your fake story. We're trying to make it interesting. Your fake story. We're trying to make it interesting. But that was what happened when he was on O.B. Yes. He killed every joke. He is a bit ruiner. So then he talks about how he was blazed with Kurt Schilling. So then Vick has to get into this and talk about how he was buddies with the big unit and it's very telling because I guess Vic used to hang with Jeff Foxworthy back in the day.

And so Randy Johnson befriended these guys and he says this. We brought him out. Moise is out of the, we brought him all out to the comedy club. We hung out with all of them and they always remember Foxworthy. They fucking forgot me instantly. It's a surprise. Sure

Uncomfortable laughter. This show is so much uncomfortable laughter to it. Well, there's no real laughter. No, no, there's no real laughter to be had. This guy, Vic Henley, he talks about people he used to hang out with. I guess he used to live with David Spade. Oh, Daddy, I miss that. Okay. Him and Spade are from Arizona. They moved in New York together to do comedy.

So he starts talking about this thing that David Spade did. And the punchline to a story is David Spade's joke. Okay. And of course, they all go nuts over it and carry on and on and on. But there's something going on here. I want to see if you hear this. It's a doll, Dan. You are by yourself. It's a fucking doll, Dan. Did you hear that laughter at the end?

That's what Chip Chipperson does. Is he? Is that what he does now? I did! That's why he does a- A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha- thing I wouldn't have picked up on that at all, but you're right. And then Vic Henley, and this is the Vic Henley joke quote unquote, listen to how he tags his joke with the same joke. And I bring up, I keep doing these air quotes to you about comedians because this is not how you perform comedy.

Boy did. No, my favorite one. It looked like the first season of 106 and Paul. I call it black Donalds. That's my favorite McDonald's city of black Donalds. If you don't have a little drop, the Ronnie Dog. So that was going back to Opie talking about

that McDonald's these scary no, because there's black people there. And Vix says, I call it black Donalds. All right. It gets a one response and then he goes, yeah, I call black Donald's. That's not a tag to your joke, asshole. That's the joke you already told

that no one cared about. Black Donald's is not a funny joke and you suck. Let's talk about Sharad Smaw. Also, not a funny person. No, he's not funny. Not funny at all. Let's listen to Sharad's joke. Tim Sabian comes on.

Right. Surprise, surprise. Yep. Tim Sabian, who's the head of Westwood One, who used to be serious and before that worked for other radio stations. Yeah, he's like an executive guy, multi-millionaire and all that.

He's the one who brought OP over because Tim Sabian's also fucking out of it. Doesn't understand how podcasting works at all. He just thinks like, oh, just give OP a microphone and let his friends come over and we'll have a great show. Wrong. That would be wrong. So here is Shiraad's joke. What are you from, Tim? Are you from New York? Originally from Minneapolis. Minneapolis? Yeah. What are you, Prince? Exactly. Exactly. That's your fucking joke of Remy Apples. What are you, Prince? I know. Well, I mean, Prince was from Remy Apples, but is that, no, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not

Prince, I'm a white guy. Prince is the only one who's ever lived in Minneapolis, don't you know? Right, correct, correct. It's population one, now zero. Yeah. Correct. What the fuck? Kind of joke is that? I do have this dumb joke

gets laughter for fucking days and this is one of the things on the show someone says a joke that's Maybe a three or four and they just keep harping on you tell fake this is what makes lips So I'll eat it to sleep because I can't Taste the pussy I'll eat it to sleep because I can't I'm a heart-toucher. It's good. I'll taste. It's about a needle pussy. That's it. That's it. Oh, I can't eat that.

Oh, I can't sleep. Hey. That's your heart. I'll take a nap. And heart-touch. You're not one. You said a nap. Do you hear that?

Yes. This dude is fucking corny. He talks about oh I Because Tim savings invested in all these marijuana companies and they're talking about marijuana as if they're 16 year old Oh, yes, they want you want to break out? Like if you want marijuana just bring it with you. That's what adults do. It's not a big deal But then he goes oh well, yeah, I eat it to sleep. You talking about weater pussy and these guys are rupton laughter. Again, these are adults near the end of their lives.

And this is what they're laughing about. That was pretty nauseating actually. Pretty nauseating. I got a bunch more clips I have to get through here. I just want to talk about Opie's insecurity real quick. Uh, did I play this track yet? Well, I was over there house. Yeah, pretty much.

But where you live, what's the same box? Well, same blind. But me and Tony and my, you're bored. Yeah, the nice guy was getting down the beer. All right. This is after these guys have been rambling on,

name dropping, talking about all you're saying out with this guy and that guy, they're talking about the eighties. They're talking about comedians who are popping around the 80s. Oh, yeah me and Dennis might a bit of the This has been going on for 15 20 minutes and then the guy who they brought up was like Opie's buddy Takes his headphones off and walks away and I was like whoa. What are you boards? Like yes? Everyone is bored. Every single person involved in this is bored out of their fucking minds, Opie. You're a boring person. You have nothing to say! Who wanted to be bored? I put together a name drop compilation. Okay.

Because do you remember this part of the show? We're for some reason. All they can talk about were all the famous people who have shut them out of their lives. And it's funny, because you think about OP and again, for people who don't know the backstory on this, OP at a certain point was on top of this game, he was interviewing the biggest celebrity. They had huge guests on their show. The fact that he's fallen down and it seems like we're being harsh, I might start just doing the OP radio.

This show might turn into just OP radio all the time. I could rip out OP for the rest of my life. And that would be fun to do because this guy thought he was this huge star, like he's always interviewing the rock and he's got all these people on the show. And now he's talking to Vic Henley and Shrutt Smoll and a fucking bar and putting on a fucking bar. And buddy got a fucking podcast. And this is so pathetic.

This is the name drop compilation. I met Kurt Schilley, me, him, and Wee's would hang out. Randy Johnson buddy that was Fox, where he was a rookie with the expose. We brought him up Moise's at Lou. And I was hanging out with Jim Norton. Barry Bond, I've been called a fan. I've been called a fan.

I've been called a fan. Kobe Bryant. Yeah. Same spring training when you're hang caring, wait me. I pulled this, what you do with me one time Kobe Bryant. Yeah, same spring training when you're Hank Aaron wait me I pulled this what you do with Kobe with the rock What I have the rock the rock Dwayne Johnson, Coco be where one time I sort of junkyard dog with who which I was Day to Spain was so who's your crew in New York? You mean what Colin and Sandler and Chris you knew Sandler and Chris rock me you Ray Romano

Yeah, a tail's like 25. Yeah, I remember Sandler and Chris Rock me you Ray Romano. Yeah, a tale's like 25. Yeah, I remember Colin you said he'd a tell me and Tony we started together and then a whole bunch of Rachel was my roommate Rachel Feinside. Shine failed and Dennis Miller who was doing weekend update at the time. Mario, just like a brother to me, man. And we will run and we will run in it. So what's the connection with Chris Rock? You guys all live together. Beantone, Chrissy Brian. It's like Bobcat, both wait.

Kinnison was the funniest dude. Now Bill Hicks was part of that crew. It's gonna be showbiz was part of that. Can you believe that? All they do is talk about people who are way more famous and interesting than anyone who's on this show. And most of their stories was, yeah, those guys didn't like me.

I'm not even joking. That was most of their stories. Like some of these guys, like, yeah, he's the hang out with like me. I'm not even joking, that was most of their stories. Like some of these guys, like, yeah, he's a hangout with Spade. I guarantee David Spade has nothing to do with Vic Henry these days. I'm certainly not. But they used to, oh yeah, you know, this guy and that guy. And most of the stories was, yeah, he blew me off.

This guy didn't care about my comedy. He didn't think I was very funny. Yeah, Sinefeld used to, didn't give me the time of day. He's like, well, yeah, that makes perfect sense. You guys are not only uninteresting, you're kind of assholes too. And you would think if they're going to have these stories about famous people that are used to know and hang out with, they'd be in lightning conversation. No, listen to this tidbit. I've known you a long time. These are cool stories, man. Yeah, but to know Chris

Rock was really into Kinnison. He's a big comedy fan. Right, right. He's a big comedy fan. Wait, Chris Rock was in the comedy? What? Did you know that, Jen? Did you know that Chris Rock was a student of comedy? I never would have guessed.

Oh my god. So obvious. Getting back to our discussion about Chip Chipperson. Okay. Finally something I want to talk about. Sorry. So Chip Chipperson, Jim Norton's character that is a guy who is woefully unfunny. I know, but he's so great. One of the things that Chip likes to do is repeat jokes as somebody else tells. Right. That's one of his go-to things. Like, someone tells a joke and the chip

like, he'll tell the joke. Yeah. Because he got a laugh and he has to have the attention. Here's a perfect example of that. How many languages does your daughter speak? She's cries and she speaks to you. That's the one, but already. That was the perfect one. Oh my God, she cries and speaks English. That was a good one already. That was the perfect one on how she cries and speaks English.

That was sort of our answer. We're like, all right, so this guy, Ben, who's Opie's buddy, how many languages do your daughter speak? She cries and speaks English and Vic is like, oh, she cries and speaks English. Like, yeah, we heard it. We heard it. He's dissecting that joke that joke easy or is he just repeating it? He's trying to just so then they go on and they talk for a while and I'm not joking Jen This is a minute later Vic Henley finally figures out what his tag is to this joke and he just blurt this out out of

Context this is amazing to me what let's let the kid be it be it? That kid's gonna hate his parents when he gets old. He's a pig Latin animonics. That's what we're teaching. I mean, it's really... He does the chip laugh again. But did you hear that part? Where the guy says, oh, she knows English and crying. Okay, those are the two languages she knows.

And then they go on and they're like, yeah, what about these parents? You teach their kids Chinese and blah blah blah blah blah and then the guy goes pigland Itty butics like he was trying to formulate what's my joke gonna be for so fucking long It's a dude. You're so late to the party of this Please do not shout that out and what I used to love about opian Anthony and why that show was good is if somebody came out With a fucking terrible joke. They would immediately address it. Oh sure. You know there wasn't this thing where it's ever like oh yeah it's all fake laugh at that. No you you would admit that you're like whoa whoa why did you say that? That that was a while ago why are we

still laughing at this? Oh I know you get called out it's so great. Oh it was so great you'd have things like this. That's the other thing. There's no production on this show whatsoever. I know. Why doesn't he have a soundboard? He just sets up. That would be amazing too. He just sets up in this fucking bar. This unassuming bar where these people are just trying to hang out and enjoy their day and they're taking over this corner and just making noise for no fucking good reason. They have no production. They're ugly strangers on the street. Right. And being wildly rude and inappropriate to young ladies who they're all old enough to be the parents of. I know. Yeah. That's ridiculous. Let's talk about Opie and other fake story. He has to go back to when he

was a cool frat guy I don't believe this at all and OP has these towels if you were a poker You can tell when someone's bluffing because they do things that are not the way they would naturally do them Listen to how he tells the story. I was I was a young kid from a fraternity Had a sorority that was close to us. So we were always throwing these bangin fucking parties and Rochester that was closed to us. So we were always throwing these bang and fucking parties in Rochester. Bang and parties in Rochester. No, no, but he didn't say we were throwing banging parties in Rochester. He goes, these bang and fucking parties in Rochester. Then it's such a tell. That's such a fucking lie. Well, it is because didn't you go to school like Genescia?

Genescia. It's not Rochester. It's not Rochester. It. It's a fucking dry. It's in the middle of nowhere. I mean, maybe to do a bang and fucking party. Is that a real story? This is a ISO that I think is perfect for our buddy, the opster. I don't know. I don't get it. Exactly. That summarizes him. That does. All right, so this is Tim Sabian. He's there hanging out. He's the head of Westwood one who hired OP. I don't know what they're paying him, but they see Tim and they're like, hey, there's Tim Sabian. That's Tim Sabian from Westwood one and Robert.

They haven't laughed once. Yeah. Do you know why OP? There's been no laughs. What do you mean? I know. He's watching these guys who are hanging out next to them. They're probably just straight face.

Like what does, what do we do? Why do we hire this guy? Yeah, I did mean that to this person. There's, again. Yes. There's no, no laughter at all. So then Tim, remember, OP 10 months ago was being paid in millions of dollars. For a while his channel on serious ex-semin was called OP Radio. 30 million subscribers are serious.

A channel was named after this guy. They then changed his defaction, put him in the afternoons, pushed him off to obscurity, and now here he is on this fucking podcast and only you and I have listened to. Yeah. And a couple of guys said the subreddit. Who have broken the show down pretty well. But nobody's gonna see the show. And Tim Sabian hops up, grabs a mic, and again, it's just selling, selling, selling,

selling. If you're good at what you do, you don't have to sell it. Right. We'll just be a try to do it naturally. So how great is this podcasting? The fact is you don't have to sit in the stale old studio ever since the day. You get out and about, you look like you're having fun for the first time in a long time. Yeah, yeah.

It's it's it's. How great is this podcasting? You don't have a studio. You're in some fucking random bar with a mixing board in the computer and microphones that barely work with some random nobody's having a conversation about tasties walking across the street. How great is this? It's terrible!

Tim, it's fucking garbage. They used to have A or B list celebrities out of their show. They used to have hilarious stand of comedians drop in and millions of people listening all contributing to the show and now it's nothing. Well, Opie has gone from having everything going on. Almost a rival of Howard Stern is the biggest of all time, Shock Jack, Morning Jack show nationally. He was close to that point and now he's doing this garbage podcast with fucking idiots who suck. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I guess that sums it up. Yep. You've already much got you, you hit the nail on the head. Honestly, I would say the vanished is a funnier show than OP radio. The podcast that shall remain nameless. This show is less comfortable than a date with Bill Cosby. Ugh.

Also, somehow it's less funny than Bill Cosby. If that's possible. All right. What else did I want to talk about? I think I hit all the things I wanted to hear. Do you have some more clips you want to play here? I have one more clip, which I just think you said earlier, it's very telling. This is what I thought was very telling.

I got really crappy equipment if you haven't figured it out yet. I don't know where we are, what's going on. All right, I think I just gave you volume to try that all right. It's kind of pathetic because you know where we were with our careers You're laughing look at look at I had a whole that I saw the hand truck and the I saw the video where the one fell in the puddle you dropped it in the puddle right just in case you thought that was a And then I had to figure out how to set this whole thing up to continue up my radio career. I recognized your sadness as real.

You not charismatic. Well, so first of all, after that many years of broadcasting, shouldn't you know how to set that stuff up? Yes. I mean, I know how to set that stuff up. I know. And I've never had a job in that. I got to figure out how to set this stuff up.

Like, yeah. Well, get a microphone and you get your levels and you, that's... Broadcasting equipment. That's what you've been doing. You should be pretty easy. For decades. That was the thing that everyone who was an OP supporter

game credit for, like he was running the show. Like, well, he doesn't have good contributions, he can't talk, but he's the one who's running the board, he's the one who's running the whole thing. So he's not even good at that! No, and I don't understand. Well, I've always hoped. There's things I, I mean, I've never liked Opie.

He's never, I've never been a fan of his, even when he was on Opie and Anthony, I liked Anthony, didn't like Opie. He's, I thought he had to have some sort of talent to get him to that point. Right. I just think he's like the luckiest asshole that's ever lived, because I don't to have some sort of talent to get him to that point. Right. I thought he was thinking that the luckiest asshole that's ever lived because I don't think he does have any talent. He is so lucky that Anthony Cumia was listening to his show and sent in a parody song that him and his brother Joe did.

Yeah. And Obi-Lasano went, oh these guys are funny, I'll have them on my show. Yeah. That was the best thing that ever happened to Obi. And now, because he doesn't attract talent. No. He repels talent. He repels talent. So he doesn't have anyone good. He got he looks up to his brother Wee's. No. Brother Wee's is the worst. Oh, I agree with you. I too have been on that show. Yeah.

Which doesn't say much for Wee's, because I am nobody. Well, Wee's even said, oh, I've been doing off the street, even checked from the chicken's department. Bra. And it was just so hacky and terrible. The fact that you look up to Brother Wee's

and you weren't, how did you radio from him? Tells me all I need to know. You're not gonna be good at radio. Brother Wee's is you weren't how did you radio from him? Tells me all I need to know. You're not gonna be good at radio Brother Wee's is a hack. Yeah, not interesting not funny I don't care for him I don't know I think I think we've covered it all. Yeah, I'm exhausted. Oh, you and me both It's been a long week of listening to Opie radio

I Never listened to his show after I shouldn't say that. After Anthony left, I listened for a little while with him and Jim. And then that show got terrible really quick and Jim and and OP started hating each other. So then OP started bringing on these other gasharots small and Vic Henley and this guy Carl, who we didn't get to hear on this show, thank God. But so eventually I just stopped listening and then anyone to afternoon, I never listened. I would read on the subreddit about this cast

to character and stuff, but I had no idea how unfunny and how uninteresting these people really were. Yeah. And listening to the show was eye opening. But it's not even just background noise, like, uninteresting. It's like offensive, because it's loud and it's irritating to hear.

Right. And I don't want to hear what they're saying, either. I don't know you're anything about it. Most of the show is just. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Do you imagine, do you imagine we did a show where we just thought everything we said was so hilarious that everyone was just cracking up the entire fucking time and what's crazy to me is that you would think a guy like Opie over 20 years in radio Pinnacle of success on serious XM broadcast all over the US and Canada Would be able to hop into a podcast situation and crush it, right? You're competing as people who have never done podcasting. Right.

Even the celebrities who have podcasts have no business doing podcasting. They don't know how to run a show. And that's what's so sad about this is that the one thing you should do is have segments and bits and have an idea of how to run a show. Instead, this fucking retard does the one thing that I always rail against all these podcasters about? There's no format. There's no.

There's no fucking format. Why wouldn't you, he's been off for 10 months. He could have been fucking writing down formats and figuring out a way to put together an interesting show. They had some flow to it. Some of that's interesting for people. Maybe connects with a certain audience. Who's listening to this? Well, maybe he's connecting with an audience, but I am not an audience. I don't, maybe connects with a certain audience. Who's listening to this?

Well, maybe he's connecting with an audience, but I am not an audience. I don't think so. I am that audience. I am the exact target eyes for this. I loved Howard, Opie and Anthony. I listen to all these shows. I'm the exact person they should be talking to and I can't stand this shit. It's terrible.

I'm with you. All right. Are we good? We're good. I don't want to talk about this anymore All right, let's talk about our show that we'll be doing that next week Because I'm going to see some punk rock bands in Columbus, Ohio, but the week after that We will be doing a new episode of WATP. We will be talking about a different podcast. I know I said I would do

Opie Radio for the rest of my life. I'm not gonna do that. Thank God. Next week, we'll be listening and reviewing a totally different podcast, very different vibe. And this is the point in the show where we play a quick teaser of the episode that we'll be listening to next week. I'm familiar. I know you've heard the show before. Okay. Here is a tease. Here's a clip from the podcast. We'll be reviewing in two weeks. You're gonna get all kinds of fun stuff. Yes. But yeah, but I was thinking because this show comes out on Fridays. I was thinking we could come out Thursdays and Fridays. So it's like, you know, when you watch American Idol and you're so excited, it's, yes,

because you're, you're sad when it's over and you're like, I wish it was on tomorrow to end it is. What do you think about that? I love it. Let's do it. Okay. So so much to say anyway, we really do. Check out the podcast one app because I did a little exclusive content

on what I think about how you should handle Memorial Day. Your hair, your beverages, the whole deal. So go check it out, podcast one app. All right, so let's start with, oh my God, I feel bad for whatever course of law I've had to do those with you. Oh, let me tell you something, this is Heather Dubrow's world.

I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right. She is a real housewife. Oh. Do you know who that is? I don't know who she is, but I do watch botched, and her husband is the plastic surgeon. Oh, okay. Dr. Bro.

Okay, sorry to pronounce that right. I think so. Heather Dubrow. Yes, close enough. This is a podcast called Heather DeBrow's World. I got episode GlowZell from 525 2018. This woman puts out a podcast once a week and Apparently is talking about maybe putting out two podcasts a week. Oh my god. No. Yeah So this should be interesting because I know nothing about the real house. Why I never watched it. I don't know

So this should be interesting, because I know nothing about the real house wide. I never watched them. I don't know what any of this shit is, but this woman feels very entitled. Think she has a lot to say. Think she should be famous because she's married to a guy who makes a lot of money and doesn't work and has time to podcast. Oh my god. Yeah. This should be interesting. This should be interesting.

This should be interesting. I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be a take change. You know, you think about Opie who's been doing radio since the 80s or whatever. And then you got this woman who has no business doing any of the broadcast. I can't imagine it will be worse. I honestly can't imagine it will be worse than Opie radio. Well, that is actually probably true

because I do enjoy things that aren't necessarily good. Opi really pissed me off though. Opi was obnoxious. So I would probably rather listen to this coming podcast than the Opi Radio podcast. All right, so whoever my guest host is, do you hear that? It's not that bad. Mm.

I will say that one clip that you just played. Yes. I don't know how long was it 30 seconds? Yeah, it's up to like that. It seemed like an hour. Yeah, I know. And again, you know, Doug always says, you should listen to these shows

so you know what you're getting yourself into. I haven't listened to this. I have no idea what this is gonna be like. I assume it's gonna be this woman talking about how amazing she is for an hour and a half. That would be my guess. Well, hopefully you'll come away with some helpful hints. Well, correct, because there are some good hints from Memorial Day. By the way, what is this content thing now?

Where I need some nobody to tell me how to enjoy Memorial Day or whatever the thing that's coming up is, like, oh, how to do this? How to do this? Like, I'm an adult. I know how to enjoy Memorial Day or whatever the thing that's coming up is like, oh, how to do this? How to do this? Like, I'm an adult. I know how to enjoy Memorial Day. We live in a Pinterest society now. Interesting. Good point. Good point, Jen. We do. Jen from the Jingle's Department. Very profound.

I have some wisdom. So please, join us again next week because it might be the episode we find out once and for all. Who are these podcasts? Sleep well everypony. Party in the muskets of morning radio. You might have a giant spitches in her. I'm scared, right? I'm going to be fine

Hmm... ... ... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha That's a bastard, please go on it. You know, who are these? Podcasts. I don't know. I don't get it. It makes no sense. What the fuck are they talking about? I don't get it makes no sense

Starting in Rochester, New York where I'm still sitting my name is brother Wee's I've had a show for 35 years in the morning And you can hear that I heart radio if you want to but I don't get the guest's opi gets I didn't play that but I don't get the the gas opi gets I didn't play that, but I don't get the guess Opie gets. Opie is done getting any type of guest. I think we can all agree on that. Nobody wants to be associated with Shradd Small, the Kenley, and Carl the Chef. Oh, well, I wouldn't, but oh my God. My head hurts.

I need a nap. All right, nap time. Time for naps. I need a nap. All right. Nap time. Time for naps.
