Biggest Opie story exaggeration or "That really happened" style punch up for the show...
16 2014-05-31 by scoobe
What story can you remember him telling where you thought "Ok, he's lying now"
I just remembered the movie theater one where he was opening a bag of candy too slowly and loudly. The old lady next to him angrily grabs the candy out of his hands, rips it open, and hands it back to him saying "Here!"

Who can forget the time when Opie got a ticket for not wearing his seat belt? He was so upset that he had to step outside and figh the air, and then even circled back looking for the officer after dropping his son off. Sadly he didn't find him. I bet he would have had a few choice words for that cop I tell ya! Link

I totally forgot about this one - it's one of the best examples of his child-like lying. But it occurred to me - is there any chance he's telling the truth about stupid shit like this? He's absolutely a drama queen half wit (and I don't care if that's the bit) so I can almost see him getting out of a car and fighting the air, or similar dumbness.
7 CowsAreCurious 2014-05-31
I think there's truth in that he got a ticket and was annoyed. I don't believe he got out of his car or crumpled up the ticket and threw it out the window.

I love how Ant barely says anything during the whole story.
3 WiretapStudios 2014-05-31
Or most of Opies stories like this. Back in the day they would really interact. Now Ant is just like "yeah?" a few times and then a titter at one point and tries to run out the clock.
3 [deleted] 2014-05-31
Everyone on the show is just resigned to working as easily with one another as possible now - no real interaction or personal feelings. That's why it's so easy for everyone to say, "Yep, we all have fun, and it's relaxed and great." It's because nobody really gives a shit on a personal level.

when he said he was a bookie for one of his high school teachers. when asked how he got out of it, there was no answer. this dude is a fucking piece of shit.
19 ryanasimov 2014-05-31
He has so many stories about growing up poor ring that false when he also talks about big family vacations. He's also referred to their lakehouse and how they never bought store brands. Fine, he wasn't well-off growing up, but his stories don't bear out claims of growing up poor.
10 Doc345 2014-05-31
Now I wasn't destitute but growing up I pretty much universially ate Spam because thats what we could afford.
So all his "growing up poor" stories just ring of such BULLSHIT! to me, and him carrying his lunch to school in a cement bag with concrete dust stuck to his sandwich?
(Fargo Voice) "FUCKING LIAR!"
3 electricmonk9 2014-05-31
I recall him saying that he was so poor he could only afford to order pizzas to eat!
5 Doc345 2014-05-31
Dude when I was a kid I lived in Dallas, and going to FUCKING MCDONALDS was like a special treat, like dad got a bonus so we get to eat out tonight at Mc'y Ds.
And eating at Cici's Pizza? Might as well have been the fucking four seasons.
I had forgotten that pizza detail, now im certain of it, hes a fucking liar.
1 maynardsabeast 2014-05-31
Those seem legit to me
10 regis69 2014-05-31
He was so poor they had to eat Pepperidge Farms bread, which is like 4x more expensive than the regular white bread he claims was a real treat when he went to friends' houses. He actually used that as an example of how he was "extremely poor." Direct quote "Extremely Poor."
Oh and his mom made them search for a blue comb once, so he can relate to Darrell Hammond's abuse.
Opie IS the "me me me" person he always complains about.
2 VanDamme79 2014-05-31
The day he tried to relate to Darryl hammonds abuse is when I jumped on the Opie hate boat.

In less than 15 minutes people already have 4 different stories; just to show you the type of person we have to deal with while listening to the show

His dad started his own religion so he didn't have to pay taxes.
He has so many classic fake stories. Every jocktober type radio personality has a plethora of their goto fake stories from their life. Opie is just like them.
14 DoubleGuns 2014-05-31
When they interviewed Roger Daltrey, Opie came in the next day and claimed that he ran into Roger in Central Park right after the interview but Roger didn't recognize him.
I just remember listening to the way he told that story and knew that he was lying.
Also, I have never bought the story where a shit nugget rolled down his leg then hit his toe and rolled over the doorstep while he was standing at the door saying goodbye to his girlfriends parents.
14 badbillypratt 2014-05-31
I got a nice piece. Not when I was younger. But I got a nice piece now. Nice piece.
4 vincentgallosdick 2014-05-31
This came after people started joking about how Ant must have a huge cock. Opie has never been one to let himself feel left out so of course he starts saying out of nowhere with no prompt at all "I got a nice piece...I'm doing pretty good down there yeah I got a nice cock"

That was Ant's story. I believe it.
13 regis69 2014-05-31
For a guy who films goddamn every mundane thing that happens to him in hopes of going viral, he sure lacks proof of any of these stories. His life is so uneventful that he resorted to getting an unfunny fat lady to be loud in burger king and pretend to be scared of automatic doors to try to go viral. If any of this shit from the last 5 years actually happened he would have tweeted the video of it every day since.
5 vincentgallosdick 2014-05-31
Apparently Perez Hilton stole his video and took his intro of or something? I think that was the only Opie complaining break I enjoyed because it hurt him so much to lose those sweet sweet views.
12 SuperJaMario 2014-05-31
The very first story he told on WNEW was a lie, don't you remember? Hanging out with his "roller blading buds" in Central Park, fans stopping him in the street just to share their excitement over O&A's "big return" to radio? So embarrassing.
10 Lasagna_Hat 2014-05-31
No good story starts with..."So I was roller-blading"
6 cokevanillazero 2014-05-31
Not true.
"So I was roller blading, and that's when Neo Nazis jumped out from behind the trees and cut my Achilles Tendons."

In his defense, that really came out when they joctobered themselves. Opie himself admitted what a fake douche he was being back then. Say what you want, but he has improved greatly.

more for posterity, i was a bit disappointed by the offerings because everytime opie shares it's suspect
11 CowsAreCurious 2014-05-31
And that's my biggest problem with him, honestly. Every time he shares a story where something "wacky" happens, I now always just assuming he's making it up. From listening to the show all of these years they've made it real easy to spot when someone is lying or embellishing and when he tries to do it, it is immediately apparent. Maybe he thought that coming back from break he needed something to talk about and assumed that fans would be bored to hear that everything went fine and he had a nice relaxing vacation without any hiccups. Instead he has to find someone he can say "FUCK YOU!" to and he knows that airlines are an easy target because it's easy to believe that they would do something shitty. I don't know obviously, but as much as Opie brags about how honest the show is, he sure seems to "pump things up" a lot.

During the abominable Mexico flight train wreck, he said that he memorised the American national anthem and practises it regularly in anticipation of the authorities questioning his American citizenship. He then proceeded to say 'I really do that. (fake laugh). I swear to god!'.

6 regis69 2014-05-31
I seriously doubt he's ever punched anyone. In his stories he's a real confrontational tough guy, but in his videos and on the show it's clear that he's completely passive aggressive.
