Things Opie was right about

160  2019-05-12 by lawyerherelistenup

Ant is human garbage

Jim Norton is a fucking creep thus Uncle Paul was a little "too real"

Sam is a backstabber

Chip is embarrassing and just baby-talk

Rich Vos taking his shirt off every Jim and Sam appearance was hack for a "legend" doing it for over thirty years.

You left off this one:

Brother Wease is the king of Rochester radio

Awhile back I was listening to an ep where Sam was relaying a news story and said "Rochester". Opie stopped him and said "the home of Brother Wease" and then scolded Sam that anytime he says Rochester for any reason whatsoever, he needs to add the home of Brother Wease. In hindsight, this treatment of Sam coupled with the underlying lesson being Opies loyalty is brilliant

Grapefruit IPA drank pretty good

i had a sour IPA last night at some bar and halfway through it i realized it was grapefruit. brotherman, it was delicious.

Sours and sour IPAs are fucking terrific.

I live in the midwest and they’re fucking everywhere these days, I’m all about them.

Yeah sours are the new fad and I don’t mind. I’m in upstate ny and go to VT quite a bit. They’re on top of the beer game there. Mark my words Foam brewery will be huge!! Best sours ever. Ommegang here in Cooperstown makes a great pale sour too.

HF is king.

HF?

Hill Farmstead

Yes! Fucking amazing beer!

Grapefruit sculpin from Ballast Point is amazing. But hell no for $12 a six pack, fuck that.

Cept it's Grapefruit Shandy bro

What was it about the word "peckas" that used to send you homosexuals into giggling school girl fits?

Fuck that shit was gay.

Opie was the only one who seemed to understand that shit was baby humor. Jim farted again....here we go...

Not to say Opie wasn't magnanimous. He even wiped shit above his lip in an effort to go with Jim's "bit." All in an effort to show goodwill.

The Opester's real crime was ever giving a FAWK about any of those guys, to be completely honest witcha'. He should've kept his head on a swivel.

sniff

Oh look at this guy all grown up ova here

because i was 16

A man in a costume saying the word peckers in a baby voice is something that only a 6 year old should enjoy.

did anyone recover those old "list of why opie sucks" threads from the last sub? I think its important to remember that he was still a dumb lying psycho

I don't hate opie but to act like he was the reason for his success is ridiculous. He even said that he would have been nothing without ant.

Which is true but doesn’t diminish the role he played in Ant’s success. Opie is, undoubtedly, a liar about many things but usually for on-air purposes. He admits he needed Anthony. Anthony shit on him 24/7 behind his back. The irony is that most of the criticism that came from Jimmy and Anthony was that Opie was first of all, paranoid, and secondly, unfunny. The man wasn’t paranoid. He was right. These guys were talking about him behind his back constantly. As for the unfunny part? Opie himself said he was never the funniest guy in the room. He interfered sometimes, but look at how hopeless they both are without him. I will take a high failure rate if the small success rate is still good enough to make me millions. And they stabbed him in the back.

Let me preface this with the fact that I dont hate opie. His persistence is the reason I had a great show to listen to for years. The only thing I never liked about him was his jealousy towards Howard and he let that get in the way of keeping the show going. To me, his grudge is the cause for a lot of his issues.

Which is true but doesn’t diminish the role he played in Ant’s success.

To be fair, ant was doing radio a bit before opie. Yes, opie gave him the big break but ant wasnt solely relying on op.

Opie was a dick to everyone. You could even hear him snap at people on air at times. He was unfunny and rude. If he wasn't rude and ruin the mood, they would have had nothing. He was unable to control his emotion and hated when he was the butt of a joke.

The man wasn’t paranoid. He was right. These guys were talking about him behind his back constantly. As for the unfunny part? Opie himself said he was never the funniest guy in the room.

And they stabbed him in the back.

He might have been stabbed in the back but they had a good show and he returned the favor for not fighting to get ant back. Regardless of your feelings, he should have done more about it, if not for ant, for the fans.

We cringe at a lot of the bits and features that are dated now and were always corny, but those were the bits that helped transition new listeners into their type of show. You don’t take people who are used to morning zoo crew humor and only throw “cunt! fuck! shit! vagina!” at them at 6 o’clock in the morning. Can you how to structure a show. Anthony can’t set up bits on his own, he’s constantly giving away the punchline. It felt like a real broadcast with Opie in charge.For as bad as he was, they needed him. They criticize him for needlessly starting fights with other shows, but those were the types of broadcasts that built fan loyalty. I’m sure it was subconscious on his part, but it was brilliant.

I never said they didn't need him. He was a great board op. The issue I have is how he needed them as much as they needed him and he turned his back on them almost immediately. He was upset at ant for the divorce because of his wife, he couldn't handle the fact that Jim and ant became better friends even though opie brought Jim on, and he hated how he could never be the funny guy. He should have sucked it up and kept the show going for the fans that were the reason he is a millionaire. He couldn't admit he was one third of the issue until fans turned on Jim and ant. Once that happened, he admitted his fault and then went to trashing them. He got off easy but I still like the dude because I got many laughs due to his foresight into talent

I don’t think anybody needed that fat titted idiot to point this stuff out. Fuck Opie too.

Fawkin brutal

Brotherman proven right again. Doubters btfo

Joe Fraziers death

none of those are true, pal. thats a self defeating theory you got there!

what is true however is the fact that gregg " opie" hughes drinks strawberry shandys out of baby assholes. this has been 100% confirmed

Do you get off to being downvoted?

i care not for "upboats" or "downboats", pal. my only concern is spreading the truth

Kinda hard to spread the truth from the bottom of my monitor.

no one said finding truth was gonna be easy, pal

Set your listing to chronological. You can choose between old and new! Then set your popularity bar to 0 and enjoy all posts. Ahh who am I kiddin'

Go back to your “war hero Joe” posts, stupid.

The stangles made good radio.

U2 are a good band.

Carl Ruiz is funny.

Sherrod Small & Vic Henley are great comics.

Anything Opie got right doesn't detract from this

U2 fucking sucks

downvoted. this is a 2U forum.

2U prove it is possible to polish a turd

No it doesn't.

I think he meant polish off a turd, like as in Joe Cumia eats feces with a fork and knife.

Shitting on the beach is PFG.

It was comedy genius. We just weren't ready for it.

So is stomping some burdens dumpster cake.

But all those things are common knowledge, we all knew this.

He was always right. His only criticism was that he occasionally didn’t flow perfectly into a comedic conversation with comedians

Remember when Morton punched in the authorization code for his nuclear football the only thing he can think of to shit on Opie is that the man wasn't all that funny

Even with brotherman love going on here that's sugar coating it a bit. It's almost statistically impossible how few times he actually said something funny over that many years on a comedy show. But he definitely I think had a better idea of what the audience wanted to hear. He didn't use the show for his own wants like Jimmy with the porn whores and celeb photos and Ant with the politics/race rants. The things that ultimately ruined the show had nothing to do with him.

What i never understood was that the "Nopie day" radio shows were some of the funniest radio jim and ant did. But without opie, both their podcast/shows fucking stink.

Slumdog Millionare would be a hit

Opie appreciation is a sharper blade in Anthonys heart than a leaked sex tape with a tranny would be.

Very perceptive indeed. Kinda shocking coming from a man who asked what makes the sea water salty...

He asked what made salt water bad for you. Nice try with the hate though.

Chicken soup has water and salt. The opester brings up an interesting conundrum...

TOUCH, but don't taste. TASTE, but don't swallow.

Oh no, it's a moral conundrum...CONUNDRUM!

To be fair, he did literally ask what makes the sea so salty

I will go ahead and field this one as the devil’s advocate. He asked the question in a stupid way, but the answer isn’t merely “salt.” Where did the salt come from? Why is it there? Therefore: why is the ocean salty? Do you think Anthony or Jim know the answer? They would just say “salt” while never really answering the question in a meaningful way.

TOUCH, but don't taste. TASTE, but don't swallow.

And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off!

Its a fair question. Idk how/why the ocean water has salt in it.

I agree it's a good question. But the way Opie phrased it invited teasing haha

Who’s left from the show that this sub still likes?

We burned our own sub to the ground defending the honor of Norm Macdonald.

Wait, people liked norm at one point?

Patrice?

Patrice stinks!

At this point of course. 14 year old corpses that have been decaying for 7+ years usually get that way. Also because they buried him with lots of food because they thought he could take it with him to the afterlife.

To be fair, he probably stunk in that sense when he was alive, being diabetic and black and all.

The gentleman Quinn.... Louis.... Lady Di....

Dennis Falcone

Why the fuck would anyone like lady guy?

Stalker Patty is a nice lady. Weird but harmless.

Travis Dog

For now. Nigga’s loyalties got me pondering.

Ronnie Ponytail's an alright guy.

Ronnie B, Pat Duffy

Di Paolo

I'm gonna do a shot of Wild Turkey 101 for every half and half gasser Brotherman Opie had to deal with. I'll update Marma and lil Qadan and what has been happening. RIP me

He was right to snub Bonnie from Sirius.

Life is just sad in the end.

I disagree with the Sam one.

Opie was refusing to leave the chair even after ranting against jocks that did the exact same thing. Sam had to make a move or Opie would still be slothing away.

Everybody disliked him and was trash-talking him behind his back for more or less 15 years but didn't have the guts to ask for their own show on SXM, or gang up on him and oust him.

The current thing he's right on is Jimmy is the Jim and Sam Show's very own Opie and nobody can stand working with him, especially Troy. Sam will backstab Jimmy pretty soon. That way Sam can be top banana on the "Negro Clown Shoes and Shittiest Era of WWE Ever Show."

I hope Jim Norton dies like his listenership numbers

Vos doing the Kreischer bit is fucking embarrassing. More so than getting bullied on the tits and pedo show.

Opie was behind blocking porn stars from coming in, and insisted they have DL Hughely in- Norton was mad about the porn stars and wanted to keep stonewalling DL instead of squashing the beef that only he was aware of.

The Opie love bit is an unwavering pair of socks I'm willing to put on, brother!

Brothaman had his head on a swivel all along.

I guess a retarded clock is right 5 times every half century
