Today I called in and pussied out
18 2014-03-12 by [deleted]
I asked Opie why he keeps saying he wants to end the show and then I felt like all 3 of them were gonna verbally curbstomp my ass so I just hung up. I'm pretty sure I came off as a total queeb

Probably not a queeb, but definitely a quay.

13 DeryDerpette 2014-03-12
you should have just said 'PEEEEEEERIOD!' and hung up
11 Moh7 2014-03-12
Were you the guy that apologized and said bye?
I seriously cringed. I actually felt bad
10 GleepGlorpFloopdedoo 2014-03-12
I like how you were so concerned about Jimmy and Ant and they turned right around and motherfuckered you.

It's like if you have a brother - you can pick on him all you want but the second anyone else does, it's war.

Lol who the fuck is afraid of getting yelled at over the phone? Goddamn you must be a total bitch in real life.
5 PhilipeNegro 2014-03-12
For real. It should be expected.
2 ixcuincle 2014-03-12
And this is why many of the callers are so bad, because they're awkward over the phone. I'd be a terrible caller too, which is why I don't call.

I didn't want to get in a huge argument so I just aborted the mission and went to class lol
9 scottm4211 2014-03-12
Instead of putting it on Opie (who at least brings things up), why not call out Ant and Jim for sitting there mute instead of hearing their thoughts on their future?

It was funny when the cop was nervous to call towards the end today..

You should ask about Anthonys heart attack

Danny Boy is back!

DugoutDoug....this is a name I haven't heard for a long time. I hope you've been well if this is indeed the original DugoutDoug.
6 deadbase 2014-03-12
It isn't. It's Danny's new name. First he used bensparks, got called out, then went with dugoutdoug. Danny isn't terribly bright...
2 Fat_Head_Carl 2014-03-12
hmm, thats pretty douchey.
2 thrillated 2014-03-12
Wait... can you elaborate on what you mean?

I had no idea. When did this happen? Is there audio of him narrating it perhaps?

1 phlammo 2014-03-12
I'm amazed that's never made a call.

I understand what you were trying to ask, but you worded it horribly.

I cant listen to that again. I feel so bad for young Eric.
I was jimmy feeling sad for the buffoon on 90 day fiancée who couldn't pay for the wedding dress sad.
6 BumbiBestie 2014-03-12
Just heard your call and it was hard to understand your point, but it sparked a good conversation and created a new catchphrase:
"Five years is a loooong time"
Chin up, pal, it's not your fault you are bossy and have AIDS
6 mr__hat 2014-03-12
You actually said you were sorry before you hang up. That's...that's something.
-1 rabblerousersreturn 2014-03-12
Redditors are so awkward and insecure. Real men troll /pol/
6 iheartdna 2014-03-12
Every time I call they just start asking whether I'm hot and don't pay any attention to what I'm saying. Gee, I wonder why they don't have more female fans. (Let me just pre-empt all you assholes in Opie's twitter voice: "I'm sure you just say stupid boring chick shit anyway! Ehhhhannhhhhh!")
9 mr__hat 2014-03-12
Get over it.
7 iheartdna 2014-03-12
I can't, I'm whinin' and cryin' and pitching a fit
4 mikejac 2014-03-12
So...are you hot then, or....
4 iheartdna 2014-03-12
No, hideous.

Confirmed.
6 ThePittWolf 2014-03-12
Eh i find it quite playsurable when callers bomb.
5 Its_Just_a_Ridee 2014-03-12
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!! But seriously, you had a chance to really get them to talk about some of the stuff people complain about here.
5 thrillated 2014-03-12
This is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Opie said in a totally serious fashion:
It clearly made Ant uncomfortable for a moment, then he realized he'd said it before. That was 5 years ago and they've done some of their best radio in that time. The show continued and everyone moved on. It's just one of Opie's phases, he'll get over it.
1 phaseMonkey 2014-03-12
Did you say he'll GET OVER IITTT! Pitching a fit?
5 Holzmann 2014-03-12
I knew that you were someone from this subreddit. Your call was abysmal because you walked right into an ambush. To be a good caller on O&A you need good energy, a good voice, and a short, concise point that's hard to refute without getting wordy. You had potential with your question, but you were just completely unprepared for what awaited you.
4 Ebhagz 2014-03-12
Like I only got to say one thing before Opie said it was a stupid question and kept interrupting. I didn't feel like arguing so I hung up and went to class lol
3 Holzmann 2014-03-12
You definitely had the right idea by hitting the eject button, because there was no way that call was going to develop into a petty screaming match. You had Opie on the defensive, and neither Jim nor Ant cared enough about your question to jump in and offer a contrary perspective.
In all honesty, I don't think there's a way to formulate the question to get them to answer honestly. I think it's just one of those things that they keep too close to their chest for business purposes.
1 ixcuincle 2014-03-12
You need to be funny to be a good caller. Most callers are just plain boring. Tell a joke, don't start with the same "bo bo boys"
3 Chamomileable 2014-03-12
It's alright. I called in during the pre-show and nearly caused a wreck because of how goddamn boring I sound. It's a curse, really. I just hope I don't wind up relegated to the realm of a character caller.
3 TheRadicalMan 2014-03-12
They're brutal tyrants and moody. It's the "Hitler, Caligula and Stalin Show." You know which one is which.
3 crookedmile 2014-03-12
First thing I thought of
3 poopstainmcgoo 2014-03-12
Way to go, pussy!
3 teaparty88 2014-03-12
Call again tomorrow
3 CaucasianStoner 2014-03-12
Listening to it now. ....this is going great.
2 GleepGlorpFloopdedoo 2014-03-12
Ah well, you gave it the ol' college try, I suppose.
2 rymrr934 2014-03-12
I can't remember did you also open with "Big fan long time listener" or "Ba Ba boys?"
2 mr_administrator 2014-03-12
I just felt bad for you because they really have been awful to their callers lately. It's almost like they ask people to say "BBBBB boys" just to annoy them.
I can't think of a recent caller that has had a great phone in...But oh well. You didn't do that bad.
1 [deleted] 2014-03-12
You did ok.
1 GleepGlorpFloopdedoo 2014-03-12
Lots of tough talk here, though.

You should never call in again.

hahaha just heard you on the replay... you did "stir the pot" which is certainly a good thing ( because you actually contributed something ) ... but your signoff was pretty rough haha

Yeah, I have to agree
-7 rabblerousersreturn 2014-03-12
They didn't take my call either today, I called in monday and they made a bit out of it. They didn't have rehearsed retorts so they wouldn't take the call. They are howard stern-lite.
