Both O and A are terrible people, but even then I'd rather hang out with Anthony 10 times out of 10 then have to endure Opie's awful, fragile personality. Anthony's summertime blowout parties always seemed like fun. Edit: You definitely know that all 3 of them read that subreddit on a regular basis. That's the primary base of all the hatred they keep talking about. Wackbag is pretty dried up and all other online interest of the show has pretty much died or moved on.

I feel pretty "Ewwwww" about Anthony's Opie-related shirts. Seems so petty.

The Dave posted:I feel pretty "Ewwwww" about Anthony's Opie-related shirts. Seems so petty. The only way it would be "ewww" is if it didn't legitimately bother Opie, but apparently even the extremely stupid and childish things get to him deeply. If Opie was able to actually not give a poo poo and laugh, things would be different.

shyduck posted:Ant does for sure, especially since he posts once in a while, including this past week. Jim acknowledges it as well, but having to listen to Opie contradict himself today on whether or not he knows about it was absurd. Jimmy straight up calling him out for trying to brush the Jocktober stuff under the rug was refreshing. It's really masochistic that Opie reads it. There is never anything positive about him there.

Oh my god I just got to the part where Opie is saying Jim can't give him credit for anything. This is like a loving conversation with my mother.

The thing that blew my mind was when Opie said he was pissed that Jim didn't speak up and defend him more when he cried on the air that one time. He is completely delusional and narcissistic.

Listening again, Opie says he's been told not to talk about the stuff he found out involving Anthony. Things will get really ugly if that means lawsuit time. Can't wait!

"Gregg is his mother's son." If someone called in and said that it would break Op's brain at this point.

The reason Jim doesn't just quit and he told Opie to fire him is that Jim also has a business relationship with SiriusXM. He has his own show too. If he quits it could make him persona non grata up there just like Anthony is. Jim is doing the right thing riding out his contract or forcing Opie (or management) to fire/remove him from Opie's show. He could still do his own thing with SiriusXM outside of with Opie. Edit: I've only tangentially paid attention to the Stern show for the past 10 years - mainly just clips posted in the SA thread here - but this Opie/Jim "we're not close anymore" argument sounds a lot like the Howard/Artie "you're not my bro" fight. Funny how all these ex-shock jocks turn into the people they hate. Stern turned into the worst parts of Imus (Cancer kid camp & trophy wife filling his house full of cats), and Opie turned into the worst parts of Stern (It's my show & I'm the one who pranks). Ant turned into the best part of The Greaseman but on him it is the worst part of Ant. JFC fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Dec 2, 2015 |

I'm an hour and fifteen in and it was cringy and exciting at first, but now it's just sad. I'll listen to the whole thing (it's interesting to hear how far my favorite source of comedy almost 10 years ago has diminished), but Opie is completely unhinged. As an example, Opie complains that Jim didn't support him enough (in that day where he cried about Greggshells or what not), and Jim said he would do nothing but support both O&A and O&J, bringing up defending Opie about the cakestomp video. Opie then suddenly goes on an uninterruptable 5 minute tirade about how they knew Andrew and gave him thousands of dollars, stuff that Jimmy obviously knows already. Opie is so reflexively defensive, it's insane. It's obvious that the redditors jocktobering him needles him more than he lets on.

Listening to this wildly uncomfortable, frustrating fight now. Arguing with Opie is like arguing with a little kid - he's constantly moving goalposts and missing points. It will be interesting to see where the show goes from here.

Spoiler - it's boring, he repeats stuff from Greggshells 1, deeply stupid callers suck his dick (one woman sounds like she just heard about 9/11 when she's talking about how Ant and Opie secretly hated each other), and then Rich Vos comes on and misunderstands/is incapable of understanding what's been going on.

Well, Opie was boring, too, but it's still amazing to hear. I'll tune out/skip over callers if it's long, but it's morbid "Can't look away from the scene of the wreck" curiosity on my part.

I think the craziest thing to take away from this is: all those times the room was on fire with insults and jokes and laughs at each others expense, whether it was a room full of comics or just Ant & Jim going on a tear, in those moments Opie felt the show was over for him and it was all coming to an end. All of those endless classic clips, and all he thought the whole time was "I wanna go home". That is just absolute bonkers to think about.

I'm not sure which is more insane, not enjoying being there when everyone else is having fun or making up lies about it. I don't know which is true but both possibilities are amazingly nuts to me

When you're losing the battle for public perception to a far right wing racist lunatic who is a borderline pedophile you probably need to do some self-reflection.
