Erik Nagel (1980- )
Senior Producer for The Opie and Anthony Show (2004-Present)
Erik (primarily known as E-Rock) is often goofed on for things like his hair, his bad breath, his weight, his lateness in coming to work, and his frequent incompetence. He once took a bet from Dr. Ian Smith that he could lose weight using Smith's Fat Smash Diet plan - Erik lost. Despite all this, Opie and Anthony admit that Erik is an important part of the show and like him even though he is goofed on.
Erik also produces 'Worst-Of Opie & Anthony' and 'Worst Of The Week Countdown', both of which he co-hosts with Primetime Sam Roberts. Erik also produces Special Delivery hosted by Primetime Sam Roberts and East Side Dave.
The Nickname "Hawk"
Erik was given the name "Hawk" after he was instructed by O&A to flap his wings like a hawk in front of a FOX 5 (NY) news reporter while on the air in December of 2004. The reporter was conducting a live shot of a story involving a nest of hawks that lived on a luxury apartment building on 5th Ave. in Manhattan. The residents of the building were trying to force out the hawks, and animal rights protesters stood vigil outside the building, causing a great deal of media attention.
Originally, the bit was supposed to involve Erik holding a large "Hawks are Faggots" sign in a hilarious "counter protest" to the animal rights folks, but when the news media arrived, an AOTM was called in live on the air.
Notable Moments
- In 2005, Erik won $100,000 in New York's Daily News Scratch & Match contest, which became a source of controversy when it was alleged that Erik won the prize using a ticket from a show newspaper, and not a newspaper he bought himself.
- Once brought buffalo wings to a Super Bowl party at Opie's place. No one was eating them, and Opie ended up throwing them out and pretending they were a hit. However, he revealed the truth to E-Rock on the air, where it was more devastating to his fragile soul.
- Got a Brazilian waxing and screamed and cursed during the whole thing (February 5, 2007).
- Got engaged in 2007, which was teased on the September 4, 2007 show and revealed by Opie before The Line of the Day. The official announcement came the following day, but was quickly overshadowed by Opie's own engagement announcement. He was married on November 19, 2010.
- Erik was talked into spanking adult film star Justine Joli after she confessed she enjoyed it (August 16, 2007, XM). The Smack Heard 'Round The World left a bruise on her bippy in the shape of a palm print that lasted over three days; she had a pictorial shooting that afternoon. Erik and Justine got into a scathing battle of name-calling. To smooth over the uncomfortable atmosphere, Opie suggested Erik lick mayonnaise off her toes. Erik's fiancée got wind of this and forbade him to even look at that effin whore again.
- The month of October, 2007, was dubbed E-Rocktober in honor of Erik.
- Justine returned to the show and continued her verbal tirade against the fat fuck and proceeded to taunt him by stripping completely naked and sitting next to him on the couch (October 31, 2007, XM). Opie suggests E-Rock call his fiancée to inform her of this new development (all the while, keeping his eyes diverted). In a matter of moments, the bit turns real and Erik leaves the studio, only to return an hour later after trying to smooth things over.
- Nearly died while attempting to perform the Cinnamon Challengethanks to Robert Kelly shoving an overloaded tablespoon down his throat.(December 11, 2007).
- Smells intern E-Rich's ass; the smell makes E-Rock's teeth hurt (July 17, 2008).
- New website created, Fat E-Rock, which allows users to insert a none too flattering picture of E-Rock into various pictures (February 22, 2009).
- E-Rock was out sick for the day due to pneumonia (June 3, 2009). O&A got E-Rock on the phone to find out if he was really sick or just faking it. During the call, Jimmy made a joke about E-Rock being a pig; after which, E-Rock hung up the phone. They got him back on the air several times, with E-Rock hanging up each time Jimmy made a pig joke. E-Rock later came into the studio to prove he was really sick.
- After witnessing three car accidents (at least one of which resulted in someone's death), Erik was nicknamed the Angel of Death.
- Erik (along with Sam) is a huge wrestling fan.
- Erik is occasionally asked to do E-Rock Radio, which he hates, involving him grabbing a mic and playing listener-requested bits.
- While he and Sam were recording audio for the weekend's programming, E-Rock screwed up and ended up broadcasting live over an O&A "worst of" (January 6, 2011).
Soundbites of Erik
- "I bring nothing to the table."
- "Is this on?"
- "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!"
- "I'm not good."
- "I don't know!"
- "I love the garlic butter sau..."
There are also soundbites of Erik spanking a listener (followed by the listener's cry of pain), of Erik screaming while getting waxed, of Erik slurping up water, and of Erik screaming until he runs out of air.
