A comment from a "blog" poster:

"Based on the comments, the Twitter pages, and what I witnessed myself on PalTalk and other users on PalTalk who went to FH Rileys over the weekend, I believe that I have been able to connect the dots.

Basically, one of Opie's brothers (I'm assuming it was Brett) or relatives was in charge of being the host of the event. The service at the restaurant ended up being a very slow clusterfuck and it took 45 minutes for Anthony to get a table. He tried to order some shit on the menu and not even one drink was served, yet he was charged for it on his bill. Anthony probably treated the host like shit as a response and possibly argued with him, which could be the source of whatever was discussed on Monday.

On Monday, still super pissed off, Opie and Anthony had a long argument with a longer version of the RATM intro and a bunch of Worst Ofs. The PT banner changed several times and at one point, it said "No show for YOU!" Anthony's anger grew, Opie left the studio and he blacked out the camera. The PalTalk room was shut down temporarily and then the show started pretty late with just Jimmy, Anthony, Sam, and the rest of the O&A staff. Someone on PalTalk also told me that Jimmy had a very angry tone in his voice on Saturday and he also complained about the poor customer service."

What have we learned from this incident? Ant is an entitled dick, and Opie is a whiny bitch. So nothing.

No, you're not wrong. Whomever wrote that was just that one person dumb enough to come to that conclusion.

(Even with the backlog of shows where the boys & Patrice would rip on places they've been faithful to that won't even toss in an extra drink or something.)

true. but were any of them owned by one of them. Op could be a little more sensitive when it comes to 'his' place.

i don't trust this "blog" poster, he's not even right about what anthony's tweets said. the 45 min wait was because there were already people ahead of him, so from that it seems the place was full not slow. and anthony was mad because the drinks he got weren't comped, not that he had to pay for drinks he didn't get.

Bottom line, they should have had a table reserved for the guys. Tweeting about it was douchey for sure though.

If its true that Opie is mad over the tweets, here is my take on the whole situation.

They're both acting like faggots.

Anthony should be pissed about his shitty service and not even being comped a drink. He brings up the restaurant on air and is a personal friend of both Opie and Brett. However, bitching on twitter like an 8 year old wasn't the greatest way to go about it. He should have talked to Opie privately about everything and Opie should have told his brother to take care of Anthony.

They both seem too rational to be avoiding what seems to me, such a simple resolution. Gets me to thinking that maybe there is more to it than has been speculated.

Edit: A lot of spelling errors due to my fat fingers and touch screen phone.

Fuck anthony's sense of entitlement.

[deleted]

Bars and restaurants also comp drinks. Not just casinos. It's not the $5 they're saving you but a show of gratitude for your continued patronage.

especially when a vip or high tipper is involved.

right, anthony has NOTHING to do with the success of that restaurant. he really shouldn't receive any special treatment. the place was full BECAUSE it was an OA event, they should have saved a spot for the hosts and comped the guy helping bring all of that business.

Fuck people who think they're entitled to anything. I dont care what it is. Nobody is obligated to give anyone ANYTHING for free. It's the same kind of shit that Ant bitches about with welfare. They EXPECT to be given their free money, just like he EXPECTS to be given a table/free shit.

It's not free. It's tit for tat. TINSTAAFL. I not only let you get word of mouth advertising on my show but I'll also make a personal appearance thereby guaranteeing a full house. In return, give me a beer and a chair within the hour.

Anothony has something they want (airtime plus celebrity) and they have something he wants (beer and chairs). The only way this would be somewhat less of a total clusterfuck is if the host that Ant was referring to simply didn't know who he was or why that's significant.

Go find another restauranteur who would be so blase about that 'free' promotion. Other places would literally roll out a red carpet and comp his whole night for the publicity plus appearance.

They have Opie for that. He's the one that mentions the restaurant 90% of the time.

And whether its "free" or "tit for tat" at this point is irrelevant versus Ant's whinefest on twitter following the situation. He came across as a whiny, privileged twat, wanting shit handed to him (regardless of the event) on a proverbial silver platter.

Long story short, I just hate Anthony at this point and I'll bitch about any of his entitled whinings as I see fit.

That's fine but Opie would be doing 90% of the mentioning on a local nobody show if it wasn't for meeting Anthony.

And Ant wouldnt have a radio career at all if not for Opie?

Maybe maybe not. It's just pretty clear which one wears the talent pants in the family.

At the restaurant, Ant was quoted as saying "I wants mine's"

two factors, a restaurant and a radio show. the success of the the restaurant has the radio show to thank. Anthony has helped support many events, (including last week) and has had alot of air time on his show (more in a few years prior) dedicated to supporting the restaurant. you're a kid, you know nothing, go play some video games retard.

after you compared it to welfare, i knew you were a dumb fuck.

This is why i try to avoid arguing online.People like you, with your shortsighted "cant actually envision whats being said" stupidity. You're running on Bobo-levels of intelligence, are not ignored, and i can continue my day with your worthlessless now hidden forever as far as my internet space is concerned.

When Ant's dick shrivels up and you fall off of it, saliva-trail dangling helplessly in the wind, maybe then you'll be able to process information presented to you.

his dick is so tasty!

It's Opie's show, not Anthony's. Anthony didn't personally do anything for the restaurant, besides mentioning it in passing.

Edit: obviously you people don't know the history of O&A very well.

go play minecraft you fag.

Theres definitely more to it than we know. Opie did not stay home from work for 3 days because of Ants silly tweets. That is a personal issue, and Opie would not let it affect his professionalism. If anything, Opie has an extremely developed sense of work ethic and professionalism.

Ant on the other hand stays home for weeks at a time because of fake whooping cough.

Either way ope said today that its gonna come out some time, so we're just speculating till then.

Sometimes in life it is better to walk away for a few days and let all parties calm down and talk things out rationally.

Then you can revisit things when cooler heads are present and prevent a heat of the moment argument about one issue devolving into personal insults and petty shit that leave scars far outlasting the issue at hand.

Perhaps the Opster and Mr. Cumia needed a few days apart to be able to do that, so Opie stayed home.

Rather than force the show's humor despite the tension behind the scenes or work together hostility for months it probably is the best move they could have made to get away from each other for a minute and regroup when both are a little calmer.

It seems like they've been doing this for years, you can only ignore problems for so long.

boys were arguing before the show on monday about ant's joking tweets about FH Rileys service. Opie got pissed and left evidently and continues to be overly dramatic as only opie can. I can understand standing up for your brother or whatever but to take off 3 days when he is constantly bitching about everyone else shows how juvenile he really is. This can be verified by other paltalkers.

and why can't anyone remember a single quote

[deleted]

no it wasnt ever aired, I heard it from ant's paltalk room before he cut it off when it likely got heated/personal.

[deleted]

Here is a fight from a few years ago, probably sounded really similar to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQsPWOEtr1A

[deleted]

Ant demolishes Opie in this. Opie is too dumb, can't hang.

Leave it alone!

Do you remember any specific lines from the argument?

A problem with Ant would be a personal issue.

Or a "professional" issue at this point.

depends. maybe to opie hes cut his ties and doesnt see it that way. Could be a completely impersonal issue.

To everyone asking...me and my family are comletely fine. I'm not out cause of a personal issue.


This comment was posted by a bot. [Did I make a mistake?] [Make a suggestion] [Translate this tweet] [FAQ]

I still don't get why they won't mention what happenned, if anything did. If anyone else in the staff is having a fight they always bring the two on air to discuss it.

Opie was probably just way too pissed, probably just took the whole week off, and they will bring it all up on air when he comes back. Talking about it before Opie comes back is a little bit pointless.

Just putting it out there, but didn't Opie have to go back out to LA to film some stuff for whatever he's doing out there? I remember him mentioning that he had to go back out there 2 weeks ago.

That's not to say they probably aren't arguing about the FH debacle...

Except for the fact they were arguing before the show on Monday.

Jimmy explained it already on air. Opie is simply out for rectal surgery (again?). The rest of this is just pure speculation... :)

They say he may never poop on the beach again.

I just reread the tweet. I think he was telling us something. It clearly says he and his family are "comletely fine". Not "completely"

Clearly this has something to do with pee...

I've been listening to this show for 13 years. Any opportunity to make you fuck bags go into a tizzy like this they take and run full force with it.

Calm the fuck down, everything will be fine.

If only they knew this subreddit existed....

They would hate this subreddit...way to much hate and not enough enjoying the show. :)

And I would bet money they do know about it.

Fuckin' Opie and his non-sense. As psychotic as Anthony is, there is a reason so many people have run-ins and problems with Opie. Personally, I was enjoying the Jim and Anthony show. Ant even tends to talk politics less and is less sociopathic about his conservatism when its just him and Jim, since Jim doesn't fuel the flames.

And if you criticize him in any way, you are just a "hater". Yeesh.

sounds like hes trying his hardest to say why hes out without giving it away

COULD THERE BE TROUBLE IN TOYLAND????

I'm positive that this whole thing is about the F.H. tweets.

Anthony's McKayla tweets were mentioned at length on air, his race discussion tweets from hours before it were mentioned on air. But his F.H. tweets were very conspicuously absent. And there were topics during the show specifically about the F.H. party, they even talked about people at the party, but Ant's tweets were glossed over.

The test of the staff was just as upbeat and laughing like normal, not like there was a huge issue hanging over the show. Ope might've been pissed about shit and said "fuck it, I was going to take vacation days later this week, I'll just go now"

Edit test = rest

Thats why im not worried. Even at the start of the show on monday, even Jim and Ant dont sound pissed or worried at all. The whole crew are just laughing. Highly doubt its anything to be worried about.

Yeah, was wondering that myself. Professional issue, then? Or just trying to use up vacation time?

i'm saying he just took a couple days. Said screw it, I wanna hang with my kids

Jesus fuck. I miss two days of my favorite show...

Seriously. this show is a mess. They kind of hit on it again today, but it they would go back to having bitches in the studio and talk about that and beer again and cut it with the anger, they would just all feel better.

Just saw a tweet from an hour ago that said that Opie's been suspended for shit talking Stern. Tweet from @kdatrucker: OPIE suspended!! From O& A for comments on twitter about Stern WTF Sirius???

If Howard was involved it would explain why no one is saying anything about why Opie isn't there. GAG ORDER.

Is this 1999?

A that company? Yeah.

Is that just some random person?

No - it's THE @kdatrucker!

edit: Sorry, typo. I meant "yes, of course".

So is the argument heard on paltalk real? Or are people just making that up?

i think its gossip that got "telephoned" around so now people think that's the reason opie's been gone. say what you want about opie, but he knows an on-air fight would make great radio.

Funfact:According to Jim when he was on the Jay Mohr podcast, he was hired as third mic because Opie and Anthony couldn't stand each other.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bgLmtF8taXM#t=2574s

Personally i think this whole thing is just a build up of several issues they have with each other even though it comes off as both of them being butthurt for no reason

Man, just catching up on all of this. Since signing their new contracts, I thought the show had been taking a much happier tone. Guess not.

more evidence these two dont like each other btw. ant walks on thin ice when hes dealing with sensitive opie. i agree he shouldn't have done his bitching on twitter (glad he did regardless).

I bet Opie takes off until Christmas is over. I don't think this will be the end of the show.

I'd guess he is suspended after the rumoured argument.

[deleted]

I've missed a lot this week, but from what I've gathered, they were arguing about the incident at the restaurant this weekend. If that's true, I can see it getting out of hand, and angry Opie saying some shit that got him suspended and made him miss time not "cause of a personal issue."

He could just have taken a week, over all this, off as well.

ORRR he could just be on vacation or something that's not an issue at all. Although, I doubt this.

Just speculation.

No mention of anything on Monday.. or Tues or Weds for that matter (well I don't think today. I haven't listened to Tues or Weds, so I'm just going off what I've read.)

Restaurant thing: Apparently Ant tweeted about not getting a table at FH Rileys. The tweets are deleted, but you can find more info in this thread or on the GTJ blog comments.

I only know what I've read could all be bull shit.

the tweets aren't deleted, look at anthony's tweets for dec 8. i still have a feeling this fight could be just a rumor though

Ahh. I assumed they were from someone linking 4 tweets that were no longer available.

Thanks.

Thanks.

[deleted]

Ehh.. if it's crowded, it's crowded.

They're both wrong.

Ant - Thinks he is entitled to said table.
Opie - Is a crybaby about it.

[deleted]

Don't forget that it wasn't just Anthony showing up wanting some food and expected a table on a random night. This was a gathering for Opie and Anthony fans at the restaurant, really seems like a no-brainer for them to immediately give Anthony a table. Anthony probably could have been slightly less of a douche on twitter about it, but it really seems like Opie is blowing this out of proportion.

I guess it's hard for Opie not to side with his brother, especially if there are other things that he's annoyed with Ant about, but I think Opie is being silly.

[deleted]

From what I've read... seems like it was a long wait to get a table.

[deleted]

he is radio's Ringo.

Does everyone forget Opie gave away the location for One Direction's show? If he's suspended it's because of that.

If I was Anthony, and I knew that Opie was always on edge, why would I go to Opie's brother's restaurant? I feel like Anthony was looking to poke the beehive, for whatever reason...

Because there was a fan event. norton went too.

I find this tweet pretty interesting, from the day after the FH Riley's "incident":

@OpieRadio:

#Cowboys - Bob Costas are you brave enough to talk about the alcohol problem in this country? Drunk driving kills way more than guns!

It's because a cowboys player died in a drunk driving accident. Nothing to do with Anthony.

this is a stat anthony always brings up anyways.
