"The company likes the way the show sounds"

This is the same fag that would waste half a show whining about the company.

He does not fag bitch about the company anymore.

If they happily shitcanned the funny one, he knows what they will do to him.

"the funny one" lmao that leaves him as the lump of shit

I really hope this fucker sees this shit. I stopped listening three days after Opie went back on the air after Ant's firing. I knew the first day would be epic, the second day they'd continue to talk about it, but by fucking WEDNESDAY it was like meh business as usual, right pals? That wednesday I turned it off and never came back. FUCK Opie.

He also stuttered and paused through that sentence which makes it even clearer he's lying

"The company uhhhh really uh likes how the show sounds"

If that were true, he'd have a contract offer, no?

Pretty sure the thought that went through his head when he started that sentence was "The company likes me so nyah nyah haterrr!", and I'm pretty sure he's deceived himself into believing it. But he knew how bratty and low-self-esteem it would sound if he said it that way so he had to word it differently.

He's the company man. What a rebel.

This one line that Opie did really showed me what he truly thinks. You don't have to listen to any other part.

Because of that line, all those months and years he screamed, yelled, and whined about how the company sucks and Sirius should give them something better, means absolutely nothing now. What a bore he's become.

Twitter voice Opie: "they don't get what we're trying to do"

Honestly I can't believe how upset you made him, considering how honestly and openly you argued your point. You didn't insult him or call him names, you just said that you thought the show, given the amount of talent in the room, was being held back by a lot of the unprofessional things Opie does. And rather than debate the point, he fucking yells, hurls insults, puts on a caller to give him a hand, brags about how he has more money than you, and then hangs up on you without you getting barely a word in edge wise.

Fuck you really set him off, I can't believe how easy it was too. It's almost as if a nuanced criticism makes him angrier because he knows it's harder to dismiss a caller who is being polite and making a strong argument.

This is how it should go, and Jerry fucking nailed it. Callers, don't hurl insults and attack the show, just flat out state what the problem is. It's typical bully mentality with Opie and at his age he will never learn.

Someone criticizes Ant: He laughs, maybe will tell you to go fuck yourself, or he says "Hey Keith, maybe we should do something about that."

Someone criticizes Opie: childish rant. Refuses to change. I'm an expert, I'm a millionaire, blah blah blah.

I give up. Opie's not worth defending. If the current state of the show is what he thinks is good radio, then I'm out. You're right, Opie. It's time to move on. Good luck, Opie. You're gonna need it. Keep Jimmy happy, because without him, you have nothing.

[deleted]

Ehhhh. You haven't listened to the show enough. He's done plenty of yelling and belittling. Not that I care...... just stating facts.

I was being sarcastic. Some of my favorite clips are Ant losing it on callers. I just thought it was funny how warped peoples views can get by Opie hate.

"YOUR MOTHER GOT FUCKED RIGHT IN HER DIRTY SPOT! IN THE DIRTY SPOT!!!"

Agreed.

It's not the same. Ant will let himself get destroyed if it's funny or true. For him to get really fucking mad someone has to be a total dick, not make honest assessments at a reasonable volume.

The Aussie woman a few years ago, who called, to tell them that her son loved their show, is an example.

Fair enough

He got into a fight with a black guy and it just ended with name calling. I wish I knew where that was

And rather than debate the point,

I'm not gonna debate with you on this, Jerry! I'm not gonna debate!

Why does Opie need to explain himself to a listener? Jerry was basically saying everyone around Opie is talented and Opie is crap. He's been getting shit on by the "fans" for something he had absolutely ZERO control over.

Many people take him defending his long, fruitful career as bragging about money. The dude has been in radio for a long ass time.

edit: funny that Opie gets flamed for his outburst at Jerry today, while I get downvoted for making a rational response to the Opie hate

[deleted]

ok opie.

God forbid I'm not on the anti-Opie bandwagon.

people need to stop passing off every group's opinion as a "bandwagon", you're dismissing a problem when it needs to not be dismissed. this "anti-Opie" mentality is just people complaining about him, because recently he fucking sucks. if we didn't complain, then nothing would be done about it. we need callers like Jerry so we can actually open Opie's mind to the idea that he's not some big shot incredibly funny radio host/viral video wizard, and that his success is almost single-handedly down to his now-fired radio partner. stop trying to defend him by saying shit like that, you have no footing.

Opie doesn't "need" to do anything. But if he is interested in keeping an audience, and therefore his job, he might want to understand how the show is being perceived by the only remaining fans who give a shit.

And rather than debate the point, he fucking yells, hurls insults, puts on a caller to give him a hand, brags about how he has more money than you, and then hangs up on you without you getting barely a word in edge wise.

You must be new to the show. Here's an entire playlist of the entire team doing the same thing to callers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s8mguZKF2c&list=PL097FA54446E814E2

This is the problem with you idiots. You have no self awareness. You think you're unique little snowflakes and no different from these other callers. LOL.

Why would anyone have to explain themselves to "Jerry from reddit". Honestly?

Opie doesn't have to explain himself. That he DID says more than your snarky comments.

Good day, sir.

That he DID says more than your snarky comments.

Oh you sassy boy. Dane Cook taught you a new word.

Fuck Dane Cook, that hack. I was using that word long before he came along.

Before or after you became a woman?

You listen to Dane Cook...

You're calling everyone else idiots with no self awareness but you can pull a Dane Cook clip within minutes...and think you're the funny one?

I called the /u/PrinceCharmin a sassy boy for using such an effiminate word like "snarky", and I don't listen to Dane Cook. I listened to his act, just like you did. And it didn't take minutes to pull his clip. It took seconds.

I don't listen to Dane Cook. I listened to his act

And it didn't take minutes to pull his clip. It took seconds.

You don't listen to him (only his stand-up act...totally makes sense). And it only takes seconds to find an obscure clip in reference to one word.

You tried to make /u/PrinceCharmin seem like a douche because he used the word "snarky". Instead, you showed us all how well you know Dane Cook's stand-up. So well that you could pick out a 30 second clip from his hours and hours of comedy specials by just one word.

You also say, "just like you did." You mean how I clicked on your link and was tricked into listening to that unfunny man-child?

You, sir, are an idiot

Instead, you showed us all how well you know Dane Cook's stand-up.

LOL, no it shows I just remember things better than you. Holy christ, you over analyze things way too much. Comics appear on the show, and plug their work. I check out their work. I remember it, and later I might reference it. It's pretty much how memory works. Don't let that bother you so much.

You mean how I clicked on your link and was tricked into listening to that unfunny man-child?

Haha, excellent.

[deleted]

Oh hell yes. I could quit my job, stop washing, gain 200lbs and then it'd be a fair fight.

Edit: oh you edited your post. It originally said "Could you spend more of your day defending the Opester". What a douche, lol.

[deleted]

You made the Roland call, too?

JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!

[deleted]

Just say that you saw Lady Di shitting behind a gas station and Opie will go to you every time.

Jerry, if that is your real name... you handled that call rationally, honestly and did not come across as a "hater" but a fan trying to provide constructive feedback. I doubt it but hopefully it leads to Opie and Jim addressing the lack of chemistry with each other.

I was impressed at your ability to keep your composure and come across rational as Opie lost his mind and unsuccessfully tried to bait you into acting irrational.

The simple fact that you got Opie to admit that he has absolutely no chemistry with a guy he's worked with daily for over 10 years was awesome.

I don't understand how Opie turned your comments into "people blame me for Anthony being fired", not only did you not imply that but I don't know of any listener who blames Opie for Ant's firing.

I was embarrassed for Opie with the way he handled your call. I like Opie, he's always been really cool to me when I've interacted with him; but I can't disagree with anything you said.

Sal, he's to busy doing hipster stuff

Make sure you call from a different # next time. Or, get a spoof card

Google Voice.

Wait, so Sam's logic is Roland can't get ragged on because he has to "put out fires". Publicists are surely already aware Roland is a fat shit we aren't treading on new ground there. Total copout on Sam's part.

Congratulations, what a great talent to have.

God, Opie interrupted literally every single time Jerry opened his mouth.

because he knew that nothing but level-headed, intelligent criticism was coming out of it

that's like triple-kryptonite to jelly tits

Damn straight...answered his question with a question and never let him respond.

Hold on hold on!

This should be a shirt

Opie calls anything that criticizes the show "a hater site." It's amazing to hear the contrast between him and Anthony. On TACS Monday, Anthony specifically referred to Reddit, and was basically like "Yeah a lot of people bust your balls on there, but what are you gonna do." THAT'S people 'not getting to him.' The guy legitimately laughs it off, realizes shit like that is always going to happen with any show, and who cares. He doesn't let it bother him, in fact he even said he enjoyed Reddit.

Opie on the other hand remembers every bit of criticism, takes every single thing personally, always has. He goes out of his way to show how much the caller is "not getting to him," yet by the end he's shouting over him and then hanging up. I've said it before, the guy is WAY too thin-skinned to be in show business.

As Dice said, "Opie is the most insecure man I've ever met."

[deleted]

When did he say this? I've definitely gotten the impression he's insecure about his dick size. Seriously, not being stupid.

http://youtu.be/lZ-yraziczY

There it is, sir.

He even went so far as to use the word "creepy". Having opinions about the quality of a radio host's work is not creepy. Opinions about his marriage, his kids, or whether that Bam Margera tape really exists would certainly be creepy, but to have opinions and even discussions about the quality of Opie's actual on-air work is completely reasonable.

He used to be part of an amazing show. It stopped being amazing a while ago, and now it's not even good. Of course those of us for whom that show was a regular fixture in our lives are going to talk about it for a while. /r/opieandanthony is now like a giant wake. We loved something. It's gone. We're going to talk about it for a while, and as long as there's a ghastly reanimation of the thing we used to enjoy on the air every morning in its place, we're going to talk about that too. Sooner or later we'll all find something new to listen to instead, and as we talk each other through that process it seems that one thing we're mostly agreeing on is that whatever we listen to next, we don't want it to include Opie.

Yeah, I moved onto TACS last week. I only come here to stay updated, I don't listen to the show anymore. "Why would you do that?" Because like a lot of people have said, it's akin to slowing down to see a wreck on a freeway. The curiosity is overwhelming.

My other favorite attribute of "a hater" along the lines of "creepy" is how we all have no lives if we post in here, are listening to the show, or call into the show. If you have any opinion at all, I guess to Opie or Thermitepaint it means we all 'sit in our moms basements,' are losers, and obsessively listen. We're all out of shape, have no jobs, or leave the house. We dedicate every second of our day formulating negative opinions of the Opie & Jimmy show, we're def not posting on a lunch break at work, when it's slow, or on our iphones while we're waiting at the DMV. We're all fanatically, rabidly obsessed freaks that have shunned society because we spend all our time 'hating.'

The first hour once or twice a week is usually bearable.

Remember, these are the guys who Jocktober other radio host.

You spelled were wrong. There will be no Jocktober this year.

By Opie's logic any comment that isn't positive toward the show is somehow creepy. Caller didn't say it keeps him up at night just critiqued the state of the show. You should've just LEFT IT ALONE.

I don't think Anthony completely laughs it off. I think he's taken some of the criticism of his show since the first week constructively and has made TACS a much better show as a result. Little things like watching the monitor constantly rather than looking into the lens and zooming in rather than show the entire fake room like he did on LFTC has improved.

Not to give Redditors all the credit for making TACS a great show now but at least he's absorbed some of the comments and suggestions rather than think he knows it all because he's been doing radio for 20 years.

Or how Jimmy was busting his balls over the small stickers. Ant thought it was hilarious. Imagine how that would play out with Opie.

Well everyone likes them. They're really popular stickers.

"I know, I'm just kidding."

Yeah, but I'm saying, they're really popular, I know what I'm doing. I've been doing this since I was 18.

I'd love to hear Jimmy go after those shitty t-shirts.

Craig Schinkel leading up to, "it's not sticky!" on TACS, I was busting my own balls laughing so hard.

Makes me wonder if that character was genuinely discouraged or if Jimmy just had to work on it more.

"Nice postage stamps!" :)

There you go. Reinforcing my point even more. God forbid Opie did anything like that.

I was very vocal about what In my opinion was poor audio quality on TACS (I'm an audio / music guy), brought it up on twitter and on here a few times, and tried to give some technical suggestions for how it could be improved. I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Two shows later, Ant acknowledged these issues on the show, and said he's getting some audio nerds in to sort it out. The quality has improved significantly, less problems with clipping and distortion, at least on the few shows i've caught since.

The point of all this, people who don't give a fuck about O&J or TACS are (for the most part) not the ones calling in or writing with criticism. We simply want it all to be as good as it can be.

We simply want it all to be as good as it can be.

The problem Opie has is that "as good as it can be" means less of him. Which, if he were to sit in the back seat, would only make the SXM execs question why they are paying him.

For Opie, it's a catch-22: either he shuts up, makes the show better, and at the end he loses his job, or he kisses ass, keeps throwing his weight around, and loses the show's credibility but keeps his paycheck for at least one more contract renewal.

Fez and Opie are in the same boat, and they really have no one but themselves to blame.

With Ron and Fez, all Ron wants Fez to do is actually talk on the air more. That's all he fucking wants out of the guy, and we know this to be the case just as recent as yesterday when he screamed at Fez to be an "on-air personality" and forced him to stop using notes. Fez uses notes instead of talking, that's all the guy does - he doesn't even do Live Reads anymore because a Redditor made the Fez Show videos pointing out how little he talks. So now Fez literally does nothing but answer calls. A fucking guy with his name on the marquee only answers the phones.

Whereas with Opie, the only thing Opie can do is try to be the edgy guy. We know he isn't funny and since he's on a comedy based show this puts him on a lower footing compared to Jimmy or Ant. Meanwhile Opie let Ant do all of the Live Reads. And of course when they brought in someone to do an interview, all three of them went passive and locked up since they are incapable of doing good interviews. No one on Opie and Anthony is Ron, they can't interview worth a shit. I watched all of Jimmy's Vice shows and god bless him for trying, the same goes with Ant. He isn't good at it either on TACS but that doesn't hurt either of their ability to just have an entertaining conversation - just not a good interview.

Opie could have easily stepped up and put in the time to learn how to be a fucking good interviewer for, what a decade? And he didn't. He could have built up a ton of job security by doing the live reads, trying to do more behind the scenes stuff, become the guy who did the interviews and so on. He didn't, and now it's too late.

It doesn't just play out in how Opie acts on air. You can tell by how various staff and regular guests treat him that if they say or do the wrong thing, he goes into Baby Mode and will try to completely fuck them over.

I guess I'm a hater, but how is this kind of personality conductive to a comedy radio show where people tear each other apart on a daily basis?

Fat tits has completely validated all criticism of himself to the point I actually feel bad for him.

It's so goddamn enraging. And to the people who think this Opie hate came from Ant being fired, it didn't. Listen to the fucking show, from years ago. Listen to the We Are The World song, the only thing Fat Tits contributed was "give yourself a bellll". Listen to the constant interruptions, ranting, bringing dumb shit to the show. Didn't Jim say Opie wants the show to be "nicer"? Yeah, I'm sure a shitload of people want that. A guy with no talent trying to spew out viral videos, desperately.

He wants to be a morning zoo jock, he hates his audience.

I think this is more accurate than any of us know. He's been too far down the hole for quite some time now however

You spelled Howard Stern wrong.

He literally played out the hole role at the end of the show the other day when he made sure everyone knew this was "really a nice story." I actually forget what he was talking about (which ruins my point) but it was really horrible and fucked up Jim and Bob's flow.

I feel that I should listen to TACS

I think we all collectively said 'oh boy' when Opie called you a stupid little hater, and at the point if it was in doubt, you had won the argument.

Low intelligence opie also fails to see that criticism often stems from those who care and want things to improve, not just stomp on something while it's down like a homeless man's cake.

I'm convinced his dim-witted banter is not a conscious effort/bit, but the fact he's simply not a bright person. His live reads demonstrate he has difficulty reading.

I wish there was a list of words he has butchered/mispronounced during news stories and live reads.

It was more embarrassing than Sam dealing with Kevin Pollack telling him he is a piece of shit.

Nothing entertaining or smart on the come back. Jerry, just like Kevin Pollack, hit the nail on the head and the dope on the receiving end displayed just how dopey they are.

"I'll make more money than you'll ever see"

How has that ever been a valid argument? By that logic nobody can ever disagree or criticize the Saudi Royal Family, you know 'cause of all the money. For somebody's who's been "doing it" for over 20 years he sure argues like a toddler

[deleted]

[deleted]

No shit. It might as well have been. It sounded like he was getting ready to make a good point and be calm about it, then it went the way Opie's arguments always go. Opie is a sad sad radio man

Reminds me of this Mr. Show Sketch..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF8wLg5Asgo

I kid you not, I was thinking of that same sketch. Most underrated sketch show of all time

It's my absolute favorite show ever. I must have watched all of it 3000 times when I was first getting into comedy.

Very well played, sir.

Didn't opie just say last week that just because something makes money doesn't mean it's good. Talking about movie without a paddle.

That was Ant.

By that logic, all those celebrity hosts he bitches about are actually better than he is, because they make more money to show up once a month and cut promos than he makes showing up every morning at the crack of dawn to do 4 hours of radio.

and of course he barely let you get a word in. fuck him, I'm glad jimmy got to hear that.

[deleted]

Because Jimmy never steamrolled a caller before who called him out. Ha!

Difference is Ant and Jimmy would at least sometimes have a back and forth with callers. I can't recall opie ever doing that.

Opie would do that when others were getting into with callers. I remember a couple times with Patrice, Opie would immediately jump to the caller's defense and ensure that they got their turn to speak. What an insecure hypocrite.

Ronnie b would've made this guy apologize, and send him cigars even if he was right. Some guys are better at being an entertaining personality. I guess what I'm saying is... y'all like ron bennington right?

Hell yeah we do.

Hey Earl, we got any Ronnie B. back there? I'm starvin' for a funny host.

Sorry, we're fresh out.

mmm damn.

"Fuck Ron Bennington"

"Fuck Fez" -Susie Essman-

and -Pepper Hicks-

No, Ronnie would have said he's making good points. Jason Nash rules.

you're legendary

But Opie did mock you saying you'd come here and talk about it that ass got one thing right I guess

Ha I thought that too about running to reddit. BUT this whole thing was worse than I thought. Opie really did steam every calm and collected point he tried to make. Jerry made a great rebuttal when opie asked why does he keep getting jobs. Opines comment saying only the company can decide if the show is worse makes no sense. Sirius clearly get rid of bad shows and hires good shows.

The worst part was opie putting that other caller on. Why??? The callers only point was "don't listen to them you rule!". Then just stayed on the line as a cheerleader

Opie has fucking Pandorum

All that caller wanted to do was say "that other caller is full of shit"

Fuck Opie "mocking" the caller that way. Of COURSE he'll discuss the all here; why wouldn't he? Opie's well versed in this childish preemptive grandstanding. He essentially "covered his bases" and you bought it. BTW: what are these "hater sites" that Opie complained about? Who's the lowest common denominator here? It ain't Ant or Jimmy.

If all these people who listen to the show reach the same conclusion, then how are they haters?

Wow, Opie was really falling apart toward the end there. I kind of feel bad for the guy, but at the same time he's terrible.

How do you feel bad for a guy who's been doing this for so long and still can't defend himself against a critical nobody? It would be like Louis CK falling apart on stage against a heckler. If he can't deal with some (completely deserved) shit-talking, he shouldn't be in the business. It may be annoying but it comes with the territory.

[deleted]

My apologies, sir. Hero Zilch.

Ant wasn't there to do it for him.

But the difference there is Louis has boatloads of talent. Opie has a leaky canoe

The analogy was not a comparison of talent, merely experience in one's milieu.

You were one of the few callers to make a complaint and didn't fall apart. You stuck to your point, didn't jump around and didn't flounder when confronted.

Everyone take notes from this caller. If you plan to call into the show with a complaint, I suggest you ask him advice. He is the only one who has done it correctly

Good work, sir. I look forward to future calls

[deleted]

Opie sounded like the crazy chick from Kitchen Nightmares they tore apart awhile back. Everyones a hater and runs to the hater sites.

Yes, I just listened to that the other day. "I just want some water. Oh My God, can't I just get some water?!"

When Kevin Smith said they were talking about all the "haters and facebookers" all I could think of was Opie's twitter voice. He should apply at Amy's Bakery, he'd fit right in

They'd make a sweet couple

He will be lucky to score an Amy once Lynsi leaves him, after he loses his job and half his assets.

Jesus Jerry - great call. Thanks for helping me buy a new boat.

Signed, Opie's Therapist.

Oh my god Opie might have survived this if it wasn't for his mental breakdown on you in the last 20 seconds.

Opies checklist to fight off the haterzzz

1 - Call them haters no matter how reasonable their points are

2- Bring up how you found Ant and Jimmy years ago even though it's irrelevant to the fact that you're ruining the show today

3 - Tell them how much fucking CASHHH you have and how they're losers

4 - Twitter voice just to bring it home and force a courtesy laugh out of Jimmy

4 - Twitter voice just to bring it home and force a courtesy laugh out of Jimmy

Geev yooorself uh beeeullll!

Agree 100%

You forgot repeat the same statement at least 2 times.

Completely proving the point that the "haters" are getting to him.

Of everything I've heard of him, and perhaps I've missed the times he did sound like this, I never once heard him personally attack a caller and talk about the money he makes, call him names, make a retard voice to mock him, etc..

Anyone who uses "hater" should jump in front of a train.

Yuck, I expected more from Opie than that "I've made more money than you have in your life"

I don't have hate for Opie but thats the same attitude they'd bash someone for. If it was jocktober and a fan said that they'd get shit on

Bravo sir!

I especially loved the part where Opie takes credit for "hand picking" everyone... he found Anthony, Jimmy, and everyone else. HE IS THE TALENT!

You forgot "he's a millionaire".

Haha, oh yeah, that was a big one. Opie logic: "I'm a millionaire, so your point is invalid".

As if it took a genius to see that Anthony and Jimmy are funnier than he is and could carry his radio show. Without them he'd still be spinning records.

That was a well executed call. You don't need to expose the Opester, the Opester does that himself.

Wow... I'm not sure how any honest Opie supporter can support his reaction.

I agree, I don't hate Opie like most here but I think the way he reacted to this call was really embarrassing, it's amazing how a guy who has been in this business for so long is still offended by criticism the way he is. Anthony made a post on TACS sub and he said something like when he first got into the business reading shit about him on the internet was a daily anxiety attack, but now you just gotta go with it because it comes with the territory.

Opie said you'd be making this thread. :).

[deleted]

I love how he said he's throwing it back on you and didn't let you speak for more than 3 seconds.

He's terrible.

That said, the way you started your call was fucking horrible and provocative. He couldn't react any other way, especially for someone of his limited intellect. He could have been a model you know.

So what was your point?

You haven't said so really it just looks like you're here to gain recognition.

Did you just try to explain how you are not doing what Opie said you would do because you have a different reason for making the post.

You had the perfect opportunity to prove him wrong and you failed. Everything else is a hollow victory for you my friend.

For all your smooth, well-rehearsed complaints you are exactly who the person he called out as being. You listen to something you hate and wanted accolades for confronting Opie on air.

Here is the proof, this post.

Did you ever fucking think he listens for Jimmy, and it's Opie who continually gets in the way?

Why didn't he call in to tell Jimmy that he loved him and wished he would move over to Anthony's Show 4 days a week? Because the point of his call was made clear by the topics he brought to the table.

Whatever his motive, tt doesn't change the facts I stated above.

He said "there is a lot of talent in the studio but your ability to steamroll...(Opie then steamrolls)"

He had a complaint, he brought it to the show, and Opie yelled and stomped his feet like a child "I DO GOOD STUFF TOO!" then had a caller defend him, all the while plugging his ears and hanging up on the "hater"

Grown man calling his fans "haters"....a grown man with a wife and children

None of that has bearing on the point I am making (again). Jerry tainted his call by posting here and making Opie right.

So you think Opie won?

Because he posted, "yeah, I'm the guy who called Opie out" somehow means Opie didn't actually look like an insecure little bitch and the caller didn't deliver a good point?

His call isn't tainted whatsoever. Of course he is going to post here. Just because Opie knows he gets trashed on every fan site, doesn't negate the phone call

We know what point you keep making. That's why you are being downvoted every time you reiterate it

Opie pulled out a win by predicting the behavior of the caller to nearly 100% accuracy. Yes.

Jerry would be more a hero if he remained silent.

hahahah that's ridiculous.

That is like a kid pissing his pants in front of another classmate. Covered in piss he yells, "I BET YOU ARE GONNA GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND TELL EVERYONE...OHHHH LOOK WHAT I SAW GREGG DO!"

The classmate tells the whole school little Gregg pissed his pants and looked completely ridiculous. Gregg claims, "I KNEW YOU WOULD TELL EVERYONE! I WIN!!"

That is completely off the mark.

hmm... that is not what happened at all.

[deleted]

Facts? Dude, this isn't a court of law. You stated an opinion and what he should have done, in your opinion.

Thanks Professor I was talking about the facts on the comment prior.

It is a fact that Opie said he would post and he did. Jerry tainted his call by then making Opie correct. End of debate.

That's your angle? Opie said he'd post here afterwards? Of course he'd post if he was from Reddit. Who wouldn't?

It's a right angle anyway.

What your saying is equivalent to a child getting an A on his test in school and bringing it home to show his parents so they can hang it up on the fridge. Of course he would, why wouldn't he? Funny thing is, instead of Opie acknowledging Mr. Shepardini, Opie steam rolled over him, wouldn't argue his points and used instead defended himself by saying "go ahead and upload your file to one of the hater sites."

It's nothing like that at all.

It most certainly is, sir.

*not

Opie didn't ALLOW him to state his case; I'll listen to this trainwreck from time to time ONLY to get some Jimmy Time. The caller didn't bring Ant into the argument, OPIE did, and then ran his steamroller over the caller's point; running away with an Anthony Strawman.

I don't think Jerry had anything to say that we haven't already read on this sub.

I upvoted...you're right; time for Opie to start listening.

Could you be more of a hang wringing douchebag?

You're playing Opie's game, that ANY criticism of the show makes someone a "Hater", which is childish to begin with. Yes, I called you childish, and Opie too.

Most of us are frustrated because we know he can do better. We want him to. We're invested, we've listened for years. We care enough to have an opinion.

But, according to winging little jizzbuckets like you, we're haters.

I'll speak for all of us "haters": go fuck yourself. You're part of the reason why the show sucks now, because your lips are pressed so hard against Opie's taint you can't see anything else.

hahah. you are quite wrong. I just found it amusing that Opie nailed the callers desire... no, the callers need to post the fact that he called in and gave Opie the business.

What an incredibly fucking stupid point. By your logic, if I call you a hater and say "Oh and now you'll reply disagreeing with what I said" you would have "proven me right".

That's the logic of a child. There's nothing wrong with making this thread, and making it doesn't prove Opie right. What would prove Opie right is him actually addressing the the caller's points... which he didn't do.

That is not what I said at all.

You had the perfect opportunity to prove me wrong and you failed. Everything else is a hollow victory for you my friend...

The amusing irony aside, how is that not what you said? You told the OP that simply by making this thread, he is proving Opie's characterization of him correct. That's fucking stupid. He's not. Just as you replying to what I said, doesn't magically prove my characterization of you right. You have legitimate reasons to respond, just as the OP did.

So, you are saying that the caller did not run true to the form that Opie laid out? He didn't start this post?

Ok I stand corrected then.

So, you are saying that the caller did not run true to the form that Opie laid out? He didn't start this post?

I'm saying starting this post doesn't magically mean what Opie said about him was true. Not only did Opie say that the caller would create the post for the specific reason of gloating/celebrating, but then he called him a hater and proceeded to imply a bunch of other things that have nothing to do with creating a post.

Again, by that incredibly dumb logic, you would have "run true to the form I laid out" in my response before... since I called you a hater and predicted you would respond to me... Except that's dumb because you can respond for valid reasons, and the fact that you're responding in and of itself doesn't make you a hater or any other childish characterizations I could have made.

I'm saying that Opie predicted Jerry would post and Jerry posted. These are verifiable facts.

1. Just as I predicted you would post a response to me. What a regular Nostradamus.

2. You also said that "For all your smooth, well-rehearsed complaints you are exactly who the person he called out as being", which goes way beyond just saying he would post, and goes directly to whether Opie characterized him accurately... just because Jerry made a post.

Circle Jerk much?

Nope, just pointing how your comment was incredibly dumb. Judging by the fact that 14 hours later that was the total extent your argument... it seems you can't really disagree.

Are you done now? Or will you be anxiously awaiting this reply too?

If you haven't made a point by now you aren't going to make one.

Good day, sir.

I was done the minute I thoroughly explained how incredibly stupid your point was. It's not my fault you didn't get it the first time...

ok. so that's that last time you are going light up my inbox then. right?

When I am addressed, I respond. Don't want me to respond? Don't address me, dummy. What? I'm supposed to not respond to something just because you can't handle a little virtual envelop being red?

Handling it just fine, thanks. You are not getting under my skin you dope. It's just time to wrap up the discussion don't ya think?

I don't give a fuck if I'm getting under your skin or not, that wasn't the point. The point, dummy, is that you're complaining about my responses and yet you keep addressing me...

ok. you go again.

Sure, what else do you want me to address? Do you need me to explain how stupid your comments where? What?

It's just a game to me now. How many times will you respond, despite the fact that I am no longer engaged in the original discussion.

You must be one of the few female OnA fans on reddit.

Oooh! You just want to get the last word because you're butthurt... You should have said that earlier! Go ahead:

there is no hurt butt or otherwise. like I said it's a game now.

Well, Opie should get those jam tits of his in here. This is a great time to take the haters head on.

If this gets enough upvotes, sooner or later everyone on this sub will be calling in daily to get upvotes. Somehow I like this.

God damn, I just listened to that clip. I'm not an Opie hater, but not a fan either; I completely understand the criticisms. I think Opie blew it with your call by taking it wayyy too personally. He obviously thought you were coming at him with some blind, dipshit critique, but I thought what you said was fair. Then he dismisses you as a hater, but gets mad you call his supporter a ball-licker? If anyone who has any sort of constructive criticism is a hater, then anyone with something good to say is a ball-licker.

On the other hand, it's not really surprising that Opie wasn't happy about a caller stopping the show to tell him he's ruining it, but again he sounded so sensitive about it. Then the whole "I BROUGHT THE TALENT IN" sequence put it into high-cringe territory. And this is coming from someone who hasn't been on the "Opie sucks" bandwagon at all, but I certainly don't question it anymore. I want to like the show badly, and he's making it difficult.

It was fair to call him a ball-licker because Opie had no defense, and WENT TO A CALLER that would stick up for him, so he didn't have to keep stammering. The second caller didn't have any valid rebuttals to the complains other than "Opie you are doing a good show" so yes, he was a ball-licker.

Just to clarify, I agree the 2nd caller was a ball-licker.

EEEWWWW!, I just realized something. When Jerry said "You're Not Funny", Opie said OH Yeah?, Watch My YouTube Videos.

Jimmy has to be annoyed by Opie, if Jimmy has been honest all these years. For years now, Jimmy haters have called in and said Way Worse stuff than that and To Jimmy's credit, he always let them talk and said keep going; Say what you got to say.

But not Opie. He has to talk over you until he can get another caller on the line to tell him how great he is. That sounds really familiar... Oh Right. That's what Howard always did. The guy Opie has passive aggressively talked shit about for years.

The splashing people and you dropped something videos are hilarious but he doesn't have much to do with them.

How to Chain your Dragon. I shall say no more.

Jimmy told an angry housewife/caller to step in a puddle of AIDS. Best line ever. He then went off on her for about 5 minutes. It was hilarious. This was in the early days of syndication and I'll never forget it.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

And he had to end with his stupid fucking twitter voice.

Shock radio really has changed. Now the listeners are shocking the shock jocks.

Live by the pests (knuckleheads),die by the pests.

excellent work Jerry. I applaud you.

*Jerry: I'm just saying.... *Opie: blah blah blah *Jerry: ...But look. I think.... *Opie:blah blah blah...

And then Jerry drops my favorite line.

"your're making my point right now"

[deleted]

I haven't listened to O&J in about a week, and given the Opester's handling of this situation, I don't think I will anytime soon. Opie really is a delusional, narcissistic cunt.

You're a good egg, Jerry. Keep on doing God's work, my friend.

Maybe narcissistic in his delusions. But really he's just an insecure baby.

[deleted]

If Opie was a smart guy he would fire Sam on the spot and put Jerry on a first class flight to New York as the new Production Director for the show.

I think you deserve Mod Status for this.

[deleted]

You don't even have to do anything. They don't.

Ooooohhh!

Mods, comment?

Bravo, Jerry, for staying so calm, not caving, successfully countering every (pathetic) "argument" he tried to make, and for being so tenacious in trying to get your genuine, constructive criticisms across.

I loved that first "oh, boy!"..........which implied a "here we go!" with its tone.

And you staying so calm made him look all the worse.

Opie is a worthless, lying, unfunny, talentless sack of shit. I've tried to defend him and like him but the way he handled this call really pushed my dislike of him into full blown hate. He can't even take the slightest bit of criticism without turning into a whiny pussy. Go ahead and blame your shittiness on "haters" like every other useless waste of skin, faggot.

And Opie makes fun of Mike Francesa for being a pompous jackass who can't take any sort of criticism. He is literally no better than Mike, some might say he is worse..

Not totally anti Opie but came here to bring up the Francessa comparison. There was no interest in having a conversation with the caller and I was really disappointed at how he just talked over every point. Opie's defense was exactly the same as Mike's right down to rubbing his paycheck in the caller's face.

Mike fills 6 hours of afternoon drive radio on the #1 sports talk station in the country by himself. He must be doing something right.

It's funny how Opie's logic applies to everyone but himself.

He said if he's so bad why does he keep getting radio jobs? See Todd.

Ironically, the fact that Opie would berate anyone and moan like a child whenever a suggestion was made were the main reasons I started disliking him. The regular content was fine to me, but his immature bullshit towards listeners was what turned me on him. Oh well, my free trial is almost up so then I can stop obsessing about him and his millions and join the rest of the haterzzzzzz

Ouch this is not a call you want to take when renegotiating a contract. Don't want to be the SCREENAH (Bill Burr voice)

Jimmy was so uncomfortable trying to make light of the call and crack good-natured, self-deprecating jokes. Opie handled that call really badly.

I think you would have gotten a better response and more of a conversation if you didn't lead with "Why are you ruining the show". You know the Opester has some thin skin.

Is the hater voice that Opie does his subconscious talking? The part where he says:

I REALLY GOT TO HIM THIS TIME

As he gets angrier and angrier really made me stop and think.

That clip was also far worse than I thought it would be, he really is a fucking boob.

At least Opie argues (horribly) with people who criticize him, unlike Howard's go to of "What's this guy saying, Robin", and immediately hanging up.

give it time; it's early days.

Howard used to argue (horribly) with the people who criticized him, too.

If Opie stays true to HooHoo's playbook, the phones are going on double-secret screener-lockdown very, very soon, with a few pre-screened, safe-as-kittens ball-washers queued up daily.

If Sirius re-signs him, of course.

Also, if he re-signs, look for Opie to be 10x as obnoxious and abrasive as he currently is, as a way of rubbing it in the "haters"' faces......probably because he's so unaffected by them.

Like Howard, Opie could diffuse most of the animosity directed towards him with very little effort.

Unlike Howard, who won't (out of spiteful cheapness), Opie can't, because he's too stupid to simply stop digging his own hole.

You should bookmark that post for an "I told you so" a few months from now.

Bravo, sir.

I feel kinda bad for opie. When Ant was around it was easier to deal with him steamrolling jokes but now the show just isnt the same. Jimmy actually acknowledged that on your phone call. He also kinda implied the show would get better but I dont think it will

Opie is such a fucking idiot by saying, "The company likes how the show sounds"

Bull, fucking, shit. If the fans know the show sucks right now then surely the company must know.

I'm sure the company loves the current show - no bitching about management, no racist or edgy remarks from Ant, no potentially risky bits, it's all ketchup talk in the studio with them being nice, bland, safe radio hosts.

The company doesn't give a shit what the show sounds like. They just care that they don't have to get the lawyers involved every day because of something they're doing. Howard LOVES the new show, because it's in no way competing with him any longer. As long as there isn't dead air, the company is FINE with the show.

Let's just forget that what made the show great was not giving a fuck what the company thought.

I don't think the company cares what it sounds like at all, they only care about how much money it's making. No live reads in 2 months is not a good sign for the Opester's future on SXM.

I wouldn't be so sure. Covino & Rich is still on the air and it's one of the worst shows ever.

The Anthony cancelled subscription drama lasted a couple of weeks, and now Sirius is back to not giving a shit about O&J.

Opie lost a lot of negotiating power, but will probably still be asked to re-sign for a bit less, but still a nice salary. Jim may be able to get a little more because his role in the show is larger.

Hate the way the rest of the guys in studio giggle at Opie's retardation- Don't make him think that that response was in anyway funny or valid, it deserved no laughs. This has cemented my loathing for Opie somehow even more, well done Jerry.

Opie "you can't just throw it away that they're ball lickers" While opie is doing the exact same thing by calling Jerry a hater. What a fucking hypocrite.

Good job Mr. Shephardini.

JERRY SHEP-HARD-DI-NI

good job. opie is an ass.

It was just stunning to hear them both pretty much admit the show isn't good and that it might get better. Jimmy's remark about the trifecta being broken, really Jim because nothing seemed missing when you were on TACS? Also great he literally says "Just because someone likes the show why are they ball lickers?" when he casts anyone with criticism to haterville.

Perfect point about there not seeming like any piece of the triangle was missing on Anthony's show. It was actually better with just them two. When your cohosts can have chemistry with pretty much anyone they're around, and you struggle to have a normal conversation with someone you've worked with for more than 10 years, maybe YOU'RE the one that's hard to talk to, Opie.

I understand Opie brought Ant and Jimmy to the show but doesn't that make him more of a program director than on air talent.

"Looks like somebody uploaded my call from this morning here, thanks for whoever did that."

No problem bro.

Sam's voice makes me cringe.

What fucked me up is that you were not being rude, like the rest of us here.

Next time throw in a Bam reference since being civil with him is out of the fucking question.

He is a scared child.

For someone who sends "pests" to radio show facebook accounts and personally attack the hosts (Jerry Clifford),he sure was a sensitive little whiny bitch when his wife was talked about....and after they talked about Hoo Hoo's daughter as well. Hypocrite.

Dude, I just listened to the call and you did fucking awesome! You handled yourself so well and the very tiny moments your were able to talk you made a huge impact!!!! Great job! you represent me!!!!

The worst part is, in the months before the firing... Opie had really become more tolerable.

Jerry That Was Beautiful! I think I'm going to name my 2nd child after you. Even if its a girl! I got so fucking irate listening to that, I was almost shaking when that pussy cocksucker started talking over you. Great point about him always preaching honest radio.

You were fucked the very Second Opie realized you weren't calling to tell him how funny he is. My opinion is that you Humiliated, and Exposed him. He had to keep talking over you, because he was afraid of what you might say next.

I was a little annoyed with Jimmy. I understand completely that Jimmy doesn't want to rock the boat. It's great that he is behind Opie, but Jim should have kept his mouth shut. Opie is a big boy. He doesn't need Jimmy to hold his hand and fight his battles for him. The argument had nothing to do with Jimmy, so he should have hung back.

I pray to god that we haven't heard the end of your calls.

You're pretty much the only guy who's called in giving this viewpoint who wasn't a babbling nervous embarrassing mess. Good job.

Gold, Jerry.

"You're just a hater!" Half a second later: "You can't just call them ball lickers because they disagree"

HOW DOES THIS CUNT HAVE A JOB!?

I haven't listened to the show in weeks but caught the clip someone posted of just the phone call with you Jerry, and I almost ended up thinking "Man, Opie didn't handle this one as bad as everyone is claiming he did," and then .....the meltdown. The Twitter voice matched with the steamrolling with a healthy dose of "I'm a millionaire!!" bullshit really put the nail in his coffin as far as I'm concerned. I hope to god Jimmy walks in October and makes an appearence at least twice a week on TACS in between his comedy shows. Opie can go be coddled on morning FM radio with his co-host Sam Roberts and the world would be a better place.

Holy shit. That is embarrassing. I have a few months left on my sub to Sirius, and I was trying to give the show a chance, but I barely ever listen anymore and dropping my sub seems right on principle alone at this point. What a douche.

This shit is infuriating. I've defended opie more than I'd like to admit, but this steamrolling is going to end his career. Opie is running scared right now and will find out real quick come October what it will cost him.

"me and anthony had AMAZING chemistry" LMAO!

I do think its a little bit funny that you did exactly what opie said you where gonna do at the end of the call.

If you think that's funny, Opie's antics must have you howling.

I still can't get over the fact that he's like 50 and says "hater".

I think it's fucking bizarre that you made this call and agree with Jim's comment. I just don't get people that listen or watch something they don't like, especially something you even pay for. I don't listen to the show much anymore because I don't like it as much without Ant. You are a strange dude.

This is the comment I agree with most. I can't believe the lack of understanding in this posting. The caller didn't lose his shit, but why kick someone while they are down?

Callers as a part of a radio show aren't meant to serve as a perpetual review of your progress or ability to entertain. Sure the occasional caller spat with a radio host is entertaining, but the "phones" shouldn't be a constant point of animosity.

It's my opinion that NO ONE on the show cares for the situation they've been put into. The only one that has made lemonade here is Ant.

I subscribe to SXM annually. I now subscribe to TACS.

Comments on here suggest that Ant is great, Opie is not. I think a lot of you are reacting not knowing what it's like to be in either one of these guys shoes.

Comments suggest Ant is calm, cool , collected, and the funny one. I'm not going to deny his talent. Did you consider that maybe he's already been thru such a shit storm of negativity, that any bullshit "haters" say is just funny to him? He's been labeled the second coming of Hitler in the media, do you think he gives a shit about your critique? The man is doing what he feels was best considering his situation. He should be proud of himself for putting this thing together as quickly as he has. He also wants subs.

As for Opie and Jim. From the first day they've told you they weren't sure what this thing would become. They were going to work it out on air. How can you be upset about that? That's honest and it's been a mere few weeks.

Opie has the livelihoods of many of the staffers in the studio on his shoulders. Not to mention his family. Opie MAY be sensitive about a few things. But who wouldn't given the situation he is in? Ant technically has lost everything and is feeling refreshed. Opie is potentially running the risk of losing everything he has known as a steady income, and having to hit reset. Give the guy a break.

He has had top billing on the show since it's inception. Jim is finally getting the billing he deserves. Despite what people read between the lines (there was inner turmoil at the show) which is all assumptions, these guys didn't see this dramatic change coming. Have you ever wanted to leave your job? Have you ever been tired of a friend? This type of shit is natural as a human.

Have you ever been worried about losing something or someone? Did you act rational at all times in life when you are feeling pressure?

I wish the best for the entire crew. Every one of these guys has made my life better.

Glad you got through and exposed his hypocrisy. A critique from a man who couldn't have done better that you (I'da clammed up like Chip in front of a camera): Next time, and I hope there is one; don't go on the offense too soon. Lull him into a warm bath of compliments; sorta like a chick before you fuck her. Congratulations though; you're Hater #1 !

Howard Stern, is that you?

Opie keeps digging a deeper hole. The guy clearly can't handle constructive criticism.

Holy shit Opie is so infuriating in that clip, just keeps calling him a hater instead of taking criticism

I was embarrassed listening to that. I felt like I was in the studio. Poor Chris D. And that call clearly got to Opie...

And then you did exactly what Opie said you were going to do and now he gets to be right about something for once

You did it, good job guy. Not going to lie this won't be popular here because this place loves to hate Opie, but he made a lot of good points.

Oh my god he sounds just like Howard in this clip.

'I brought Jimmy to the show! I've been hand-picking talent since I was 18! Tell 'em Fred!'

opie ''hand picked'' ant and jimmy? he's inventing everything now, sounds vaguely familiar HOO HOO

And like Stern, he thinks he deserves a piece of credit for everything those guys go on to do.

It's kind of like brother Joe's pathetic claim on twitter that if you like Anthony, you like him.

"You know that show (TACS) you guys love now? Well, that's the guy I hand-picked, so you're really.......um.......hating him when you hate me?!?"

And I'm still trying to figure out what we're suppposed to "trust" Opie to do; he's had two months to do it, and still nothing but horribly douche-chilly videos and twitter "jokes", and pathetically lame comebacks.

As if Anthony and Jimmy wouldn't have made it somewhere without Opie.

As if Billy West wouldn't have gone on to become a cartoon voice superstar if Stern hadn't put him on the air.

As if Jackie Martling.......never mind.

Good job Jerry

I had to keep pausing the call because it was frustrating how many times he interrupted you to say NOTHING and try to prod you into being angry. In Opie's defense, it wasn't an awful tactic. But when he said something like "one of those people that's never happy"....ugh, yeah..that's how you take criticism, you blame the fucking critics. Fuck him.

Asking a legit question, but not letting you answer is a dick move!

Actually he did answer. The full extent of his answer was "yeah, right, sure". If Opie accepts that people still listen because they like the people there who aren't named Opie, and it's worth it to them in the end to put up with his awfulness in order to listen to the funny people, he'd be accepting that they think Opie sucks. It has to be the "you're obsessed" angle because then in his mind he wins.

Thank you for your service

He's not wrong though. Don't listen anymore if you don't like the show. I moved on to R&F and Anthony's show. Surprisingly I don't get butthurt all the time.

You're missing something here:

Jerry, and a lot of others are listening to see if the show gets better. It's not getting better, and instead, Opie's steamrolling, unfunny ways are front and center.

The point still stands.

"THE SHOW IS UNFUNNY AND I HATE THE HOST!!!" So don't listen. "NO!! I MUST LISTEN TO SEE IF IT GETS BETTER!! IN THE MEAN TIME THE HOST SUCKS AND I HATE HIM!!!"

How would anyone know if the show gets better and to their liking unless they listen to it?

People are not listening to the entire show every day and getting mad, they are listening to bits and pieces over a few days. People are making determinations over the small amounts theyre listening to and in those small amount they listen to you, they are realizing that Opie is steamrolling the show and ruining the experience.

Bottom line, you have to listen to see if it gets better to suit your listening experience

It's almost like Jerry is white-knighting this sub.

Like this guy? http://www.reddit.com/r/opieandanthony/comments/2fvkmq/butthurt/

So why do you still listen? Honest serious question.

[deleted]

Opie does make a good point about still listening to the show. What is the obsession with the show if you are so obsessed with hating it and with hating the host? This whole foundation of this subreddit is concentrated hate.

This was a great meltdown, bravo.

Listen to something else man. You have so many different podcasts and shows you can listen to. Just sounds like a bunch of negativity. These guys are trying to entertain the masses. Find something you love and give it praise, instead of trying to bring something down.

That's the same as saying that fans of a sports team can't criticize it when things go in a bad direction. Or that Star Wars fans can't dislike the new trilogy. It's BECAUSE fans love O&A that they're attacking what it has become. If we didn't care, we'd have stopped listening without saying a thing. Over the course of the last 12-15 years, we've been privy to some of the funniest moments of honest, harsh and outright hilarious entertainment...and now it's all over because half of the talent is gone.

The fans have been trained to pick apart hacky radio/entertainment and damnit, that's what we're doing. This is one long Jocktober and we're killing/letting the show die in the most appropriate way possible.

No one seems to have a problem with "these guys"; I love Jimmy, and enjoy his interaction with comedian guests and even with Sam. The problem is with the kid who owns the football; and what Opie says GOES. He's a little bitch, but a necessary evil until further notice (hopefully Opetember 1st).

Is it possible the show has passed Opie by instead of the show passing the listeners by?

You want recognition for calling a radio show?

(loaded question)

You should see what the Ball Lickers are saying to Opie on Twitter!

Opie handled himself well. Opie's a Counter Puncher. Opie destroyed that caller this morning.

And my personal favorite! "You mess with Opie; You get the horns!

Well, Jerry got kinda owned.

after he hung up on Jerry he just kept harping on the fact that it wasn't his fault that Anthony got fired and that he had nothing to do with it. His whole rant had nothing to do with what Jerry originally called with. Jerry wasn't accusing him of having anything to do with the firing. He was just saying that Opie has been sucking lately. Opie constantly doesn't see the real meaning when anybody talks. Drives me nuts how out of touch he is with every little thing.

Opie knew what Jerry meant, he just obfuscated, as usual, like a spoiled 16 year-old girl.

I gotta be honest, I was a semi-hater. I always thought that Opie was just a board op that surrounded himself with talent to get where he is. I canceled my subscription in my car when Ant was fired and stopped listening to the show.

HOWEVER!!!!!!

I recently turned the show on during a trip in my wife's car. It happened to be the day Bobby Lee was on. Been a while since I laughed that hard at the show and it wasn't just Bobby. There's a difference now. Opie is different. Take it from someone that hasn't listened to the show since the firing. Its almost like Opie has to talk more now or he didn't talk as much before cause Ant and Jim would riff so much but I have to tell ya.. Opie actually made me laugh a few times before Bobby even got there. I don't remember Opie ever being as funny and I've been listening a very long time.

Pretty cool to hear. I hope both of them (Op and Jim) secure something nice in October.

suggestions to change lolwut314's flair to?

I agree with you on most points Jerry and Opie did react like a douche but making this post is kind of self-aggrandizing.

"I hand picked Jimmy, not Anthony! I picked Anthony! Me, me, me!"

Ugh, what a fucking insecure zilch.

I will agree with him there. He's like a good talent scout or casting director. But that's his only talent. Actually BEING funny with his fratboy, "destroyer", "laid-back", "anti-corporate", "cool guy" hack radio douche character is where he fails miserably. "Haters" simply roll their eyes, grit their teeth, and wait for the funny people to talk. Then go somewhere to comment on the awfulness of the opie character and praise the awesomeness of the people with comedic ability.

Yeah, but as many others have pointed out, it doesn't excuse his total lack of on-air talent. He may as well be a guy in the corporate back office. Quite frankly, the show has been great in the past DESPITE Opie. In many of the greatest moments in the show's history, you can hear Opie pop in with a horrible line, attempt to derail the conversation, or push it in the direction of a "bit". He's a radio hack surrounded by comedians...he just doesn't think like they do.

I know. And I'm pretty sure that what it mainly boils down to, more-so than his low self-esteem and self-delusion and fragile ego, is the money he makes by being 1/2 of the show in the mind of the suits. He needs to put his awful footprint on most or all of the bits and segments they do so they could never try to give him less money when it's negotiation time. It's a justification for salary's sake, and it sucks for us. I wouldn't be surprised if on some level he even knows he sucks, but he's doing the best he can genuinely and the only thing he knows how to do, and the results are a horrible failure and the listeners just have to live with it.

You came off as a hater. An unfunny, bitching hater.

You come off as a licker. A sycophantic ball-licker.

You come off as an pathetic nothing craving attention and approval from the bandwagon haters. Youre a piece of shit, like really, do you even realize that?

Oooh. Big words. Again, just turn it off. The show is not going to change for you.

"I'm not looking for recognition by making this post"

Bullshit.

I was thinking today how I listened so intently for 7 years and it is just gone. It bums me out. I always disliked Opie, though i understood his role. Without Ant though it was truly unlistenable by day 2. Opie taking the lead on daily pontification is worse than the morning mash up. I find it humorous how exposed he is, but in the end he's worth 12 million so...yknow...wtf does our opinion really mean

Jerry you fell into what exactly Opie said you would do. You couldn't come here and brag about how you're the caller and you couldn't share the clip quick enough. Hah.

This is for you jerry! Balls the size of grapefruits!

THAT WUS YESTADAY MORNIG U FUKIN LYA!

I wonder how long it's gonna be before opie starts recording phone calls.

Is it possible that Jimmy paid Jerry to call in?!!!!!

Opie's see's the writing on the wall and is so defensive in his responses and reveals it in what he says also.

Very unlikely. Why would Jimmy waste money on getting some idiot to call in

So he can say how he feels without having to worry about the reprecautions from management or Opie. Thats what he doesn't say much when they call in.

Jim sided with Opie right away.

It's a conspiracy

Seriously though, I don't think he has the intellect to pull that off.

chindon a salut jer, opie has nothing left, he's a spent vessel of empty consciousness. that chris guy really gave me the chills with his little pep talk.

[deleted]

he's gotten your goat sir

Fuck, now I'm gonna have to download the show. Anyone have a timestamp?

Nevermind. Just saw the other thread. Derp.

[deleted]

Fuck u jerry and fuck u opie haters. Quit listening already shut your pie hole.

[deleted]

Well jerry, you suck by the way. How true and realistic was Opie? Man, this really proved everyone bashing him wrong.

You kept on trying to say that he sucked and he repeated the same thing you fucking dolt, jesus you got owned by Opie? And you hate him? :D Nice one you dolt

God Damn Opie Lover! "Dolt"?? That sounds familiar. Oh yeah, Opie says that 10 times per show!! How the fuck are you going to make fun of someone when you talk like Opie?

Get creative and try to speak like yourself. If you even remember how to. You should be embarrassed by that!

You might as well of said WAIT WAIT WAIT!, Hold ON! That dolt Jerry got owned by. Opie.

Im not an Opie love, I dislike him but I appriciate everything he's done for the past 20 years and im not a low life reject bashing him with passion, ive unsubbed from his twitter and youtube and I also dont listen to the show.

At the moment im going through 150 shows with Patrice from ~2005-2008.

You literally got nothing to say you ignorrant reject. Do you even know why you bash Opie or are you just doing it cause everyone else is doing it?

Ugh I used a hacky word relative to the show I didnt even think of that its "opies" word, sry sir you sure got alot to add otherwise

How ironic. You said I'm a reject because I bash him with a passion, But you defend him with the same passion, so what the fuck does that make you? I know you think you're above all this, but you're still sitting on a social media site after midnight; arguing with a reject or a nitwit, or an idiot, or any other first grade names you want to call me. So if I'm a loser for doing this, than what the fuck are you?

The difference between us is I didn't pretend to be anything more than what I am. I'm only on this site this late because I'm at work bored. You know, I have to Wait before I take out the trash or mop the floor. That's the only job us Opie hating reject nitwits can get!

I didnt mean bash with a passion and the passion is the problem I mean youre bashing and you enjoy it. You realize youre defending schoolyard bullying right? Its like you pick on some underdog kid and you defend the reason for it.

How old are you by the way? If youre like 16-17, I can understand your underdeveloped way of viewing life but really.

Im not pretending to be more than I am, I just am. And if I look down a few floors and see some simple minded kids bullying someone, sure im fine with it.

Im only saying bullying cause of this collective thing vs. 1 person and everyone is getting off from it.

I do only bash Opie because others do. I've been a follower my whole life. I worship the guys on here. I like them so Much; I want one of them to fuck my mom!

But one thing is for sure.. You Have Trained Yourself To Talk Like Opie! Hah Hah Hah! What a fucking loser of epic proportions!

No, you're right. I'm sure it was just a coincidence.

You dont even make sense, are you trying to be stupid or are you actually this stupid?

But one thing is for sure.. You Have Trained Yourself To Talk Like Opie! Hah Hah Hah! What a fucking loser of epic proportions!

This? With Capital Letters In Some 14 Y/o Shit.

Most of the time ill ignore dumb people and avoid arguing with them but sometimes I forget and shit like this reminds me why. Jesus man.

Im sure youre trolling havin' a good ol' laugh, but, ugh..

Get creative and try to speak like yourself.

Oh boy the irony...

one question: What was your response going to be when he asked why do you keep listening? sounds like you had an answer but he interrupted you. Its even more uncomfortable to listen to the second time around, yeesh

He said there was usually a lot of talent in the room, by which he meant Jim and the guests and Opie said "I'm the talent, too."

Wow. I'm done. I hadn't listened since the wednesday after Opie came back on the air and no fucking way am I going back to listening to this shit.

We really should, en mass, call Opie and tell him he sucks. Flood his phones every single day.

[deleted]

Hi Jerry, please go away.

What makes you think you're entitled to their airtime to "criticize" them?

I will defend Opie to the end...I really will. He has and always will be my favourite part of the show and I HATE this Jerry guy. The fact of the matter is on the Roland call you say you're not even that big of a fan of O&A, you make your dumb call to critique a show and a guy who just lost his 20 year partner.

I think my biggest problem with Op's constant, repetitive haters is that non of them understand it is his ability to force his way in and direct the show that sets the show onto the path of the greatest bits that they ever did.

I would love to know what Jerry thought when Ronnie B quite literally called Opie a genius before leaving the channel to go to Raw Dog. I Would love to know what he thought of the Gervais, Vos and Pete Rose show or the Bobby Lee one just recently.

The boys have said it for years but it really is worth saying again. GO AWAY.

I would prefer the show to have way less subs if it meant actual fans of the show on these forums.

Oh and Opie was absolutely right about you coming back to Reddit and bragging that you made him mad. Just a nobody who wants to be popular on yet another site full of terrible fans. This reddit stinks, Wackbag stinks you all fucking stink.

You are going against the narrative of the sycophantic mob, as such, you will be trashed. No dissent allowed! Dont listen to them, you called Opie on his shit, well done. The show is patronizingly bad due to Opie.

That was interesting. You weren't being outright shitty to him. You brought up the biggest complaint listeners have been having which is him steamrolling jokes and not bringing any entertainment to the table.

Also interesting how Jim acknowledged the lack of chemistry, attributing it to not enough time to develop a repoire with a guy he's worked with for 10 years.

In summation: Opie behaves like a defensive manchild with some sort of inferiority complex. I imagine due to his realization that he's not an entertaining guy and his role has expanded to something he isn't skilled or comfortable at since Anthony's departure. He came so close to admitting it too. Saying how he handpicked all the talent on the show. That is the entire point. He surrounded himself with incredibly talented entertainers and did an overall good job steering them toward funny and entertaining topics. Why wouldn't he do it again? I wish he would be more honest about himself so I can listen to the show.

Opie is right about one thing. I haven't listened to the show in months because of him. However, Opie watches the NFL then goes on air and complains about the games/refs/NFL etc. He does the same thing with local news. Good job Jerry.

You hit the nail on the head with Opie. There's talent in that room. Opie is definitely part of it, but when the split first happened it was pointed out that Opie makes a much better behind the scenes guy.

If Opie was Sam or E-Rock, in that he wasn't a permanent mic, the show would flow wonderfully. I think Sam and Eric deserve a lot more money because they do a lot of stuff on mic and backstage that makes the show amazing.

You got him to admit your point too. He gets carried. When he was rattling off how he's always found other jobs in radio, I think you should've said that without Ant he'd be the king of Buffalo morning talk. But bringing in Ant, bringing in Jimmy, shows that he's got an eye for talent and he rode those two up really damn high.

Opie is thrust into the spotlight, and he's bobbling it and he knows it. The stress he's under, knowing that every criticism for 20 years was true, is killing him.

Unfortunately, Jimmy can't agree. But him acknowledging that the pace, flow, and dynamic of the show is all messed up and that it'll take a while to adjust (when the contract is running out soon) is kinda of a backhanded admission that you're right and the room knows it.

You're not part of the show guy. You get the show they broadcast. You are not trying to have a discussion\on with them either. Calling anyone who just listens to what they put out a ball licker is not that. What in the sam hill do you want done? You come off as mental touched in some way each call. YOU ARE NOT A PART OF THE SHOW! They can not bring ant back.. so wtf is your goal? stop listening mongoloid. Tune to else where.

"I HAND PICKED JIMMY

I HAND PICKED ANTHONY BACK IN THE DAY."

I don't even....

[deleted]

Do it, fagget

[deleted]

Lol

so basically this is how Opie protects his fragile ego. All criticism comes from a group of "haters" who were not, can not, and never will be pleased with the show, and there is nothing he can do to make them happy. These people only listen because they're "creepy" but it's OK because he makes more money than them. None of the criticism is legitimate, nor is it his fault, and everyone is just a poor, obsessed, unsatisfiable, hater. As long as he talks over these people, nothing they say will ever be true.

RaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHLAAND

I'm surprised people get this in depth about the show and things they don't like. Honestly the only time I turned the show off (pre ant firing) was when they had David Lee Roth in. If he was on more than two times a year I would be vocal. Other than that...

Oh my god.

The Opie and Anthony Show has become Amy's Baking Company.

I agree with you 100%, a couple months ago I bought a "check out the empties maaahn" t shirt, now I cannot fucking stand opie, everything you said summed it up. Fuck opie till he gets back on radio with anthony

[deleted]

Hahaha dude you're doing exactly what Opie said you would do.

I agree with him 100%. If you don't like what the show is offering, then move on. Enough with this baby-boy bull shit.

Jerry you are such a faggot, get a life and cancel your sub already. The show is great and better than most radio and podcasts that are out there.

LOL

Jerry is the best name ever. You can't not like a guy named Jerry. He just sounds friendly. Hey Jerry!

Sandusky?

surrrrrre

Actually, having listened to the audio, your call was shit and I have to agree with just about everything Opie and Jim said. You started off with "Fuckin...uh...why is it you're ruining the show since Anthony left?" Real eloquent dude and totally "NOT HATE" at all... Really giving him room to hear your constructive criticism there. He's exactly right. You people are fucking obsessed with Opie and spend ridiculous amounts of time and energy looking for every little thing to complain about. Stop listening. I did shortly after Ant left and only listen to a few clips when good guests are on.

You didn't call to give constructive criticism. You did it so you could come here and get a pat on the back and join in on the circlejerk. This place really has become an echo chamber of karma dick riders. I'm posting this knowing full well that I'm going to be downvoted to oblivion and most of you aren't even going to read this far before you've moved on to the next person confirming your bias. You guys really do sound like the twitter voice "haters" with your borderline stalker obsession with this guy and all of his social media garbage. I don't even have a fucking twitter because I'm not a teenage girl so it doesn't affect me. You guys are majorly butthurt over a show that you don't even have to listen to.

Here is some actual constructive criticism of Opie:

• He's a grown man obsessed with social media(like most of you manchildren) and going "viral". It has been a huge detriment to the show for years. That goes for all of them really and obviously twitter was the downfall of the show as we knew it. Twitter should be banned completely from the show and they should all turn their fucking phones off. If Opie was smart he would quit twitter and give up on youtube altogether.

• He has really thin skin and has never taken it well when people(in studio) have bashed him, which is one of the greatest parts of the show. It's a badge of honor to be bashed by some of the funniest people in the world and everyone has a laugh about it. The greatest shows were always when they had a bunch of comedians all brutally trashing each other. It's not meant to hurt anyone's feelings. Or it is, but don't be a pissy eyed faggot about it. Harden the fuck up.

• He does stomp all over jokes sometimes and needs to know when to just let people talk or finish their story. There's been plenty of times when they are just about to get into something good and he starts with the screaming "WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!". That's not acceptable in normal conversation anywhere.

• He needs to lay off with the overly hacky "that's the bit" type of shit. The show is best when they aren't trying too hard.

• Lady Di and the rest of the freaks are only entertaining in moderation and if they are going to be on the show every day they should be getting at least a small fraction of what the millionaires that are supposed to be entertaining us get. They shouldn't just be filler when the boys are feeling lazy or Jim is staring at his phone. Lady Di and Bobo should really only be on when Colin is in. He knows how to handle them.

• He should stick to what he is good at. That's being the emotionless "Opie the Destroyer" that people actually liked. He really can be funny when he is calling celebrities at 4 in the morning hanging up on them mid sentence. Or car crash sound effects when someone is talking about their family dying in a car wreck, as awful as that is. We are really all just soulless fucks.

• He needs to work on his interviewing skills. He only ever really chimes in to talk about how he relates to the guest. Usually about having kids.

• He should never talk about his kids or his family life. What a snoozefest.

• He needs to do what Ant has done and take actual criticism and work on changing. It's probably pretty hard when he goes to a subreddit with his own name on it and sees nothing but people shitting on him. Most of you don't even do it well and you are a lot less funny than you think. I guarantee none of you could do any better than Opie in that studio. You can't even call in and form a complete sentence without bombing. Only a moron starts a sentence with "Fuckin...uh..."

TLDR: Jerry's call sucked. You guys are circlejerking hard. Twitter and all forms of social media are for faggots and teenage girls. There are a lot of things to criticize Opie about but you aren't doing it in any way that he is going to actually listen to. Opie is without a doubt more talented than all of you, despite the aforementioned issues, and we have him to thank for bringing Ant and Lil' Jimmy to our attention. You're going to call me a ballwasher because you have poor reading comprehension but I really don't give a shit. Also, I'm fully aware that if I tried to point these things out to Opie he would probably dismiss me as a hater, even though I'm pretty neutral and hope he improves.

TLDR of the TLDR: This subreddit is a giant gay bukakke with Opie in the center. You guys really are a bunch of obsessive queers.

THIS, IN SPADES.

Opie haters downvoting this guy when he speaks the truth. Jerry sucks a dick and he got owned by Opie.

You are right Nate. Opie discovered Ant and Jimmy. The pathetic thing is Opie thinks that makes him talented.

Opie calls himself the Destroyer. The only thing Opie destroyed is a radio show!

And I'm confused by you. Are you listing every annoying thing Opie does; Plus defending him?

I didn't read your entire manifesto, but I think I saw something about us being obsessed loses who talk shoot on social media. My question is; What the fuck does that make you?

Of course you didn't read it. You're a fucking moron. If you actually could understand what I wrote you would see that I'm not so much defending him as attacking this sub's borderline homosexual obsession with a guy they claim to hate and want to ignore. People spend their entire day refreshing his twitter page so they can chime in here and have everyone agree with them. It really is pathetic and stalkerish. Opie never called himself the destroyer btw. He certainly destroyed little Jerry and his bumbling attempt at an attack. All Jerry has succeeded in is karma whoring you bandwagoners.

I'm starting to think Opie may be right about the "haters". Maybe this sub has "passed me by". The sub for Ant's show is infinitely better and most of the negativity that bleeds over from here gets rightfully shit on. You'll notice that Ant never bad mouths Opie and would probably put you in your place if you tried to in his presence. It's not because he can't or is scared to. It's not even because he has to be careful not to step on Jim's toes come time to re-sign or not. It's because I think he really does like Opie and respects him for bailing his ass out of a life of serfdom. It's evidenced by the fact that he still texts Opie and talks to him behind the scenes. He may not think Opie is the funniest guy or even want to work with him again, but after spending 20 years together people tend to get tired of each others' shit.

I wouldn't call reddit social media. Especially most of the subs I frequent are more like anti-social media. Anyone that spends their time looking for validation on twitter, facebook, or the like is a sad sack of shit and needs to reevaluate their life. Your downvotes only make me prouder to not be a part of the hivemind.

Words Hurt. I have feelings too.

Hey Nasty Nate,

I promise you that nobody is Going to read that book you just wrote, and that's fine you like him. We never told anyone not to like Opie.

How would we know if Jerry had a good segment? As soon as Opie realized Jerry wasn't going to stroke his ego like you do; he cut Jerry off, Even though Opie always preached that he would never not take a haters call and they don't do that like other stations. I doubt Opie needs you to hold his hand and swallow his balls. That's what the Philly Crew is for!

You are boring. Reconcile that.

You called me boring? Thems Are Fightin' Words! I'm so pissed by that comment, I'll probably only get 10 hours sleep tonight.

If you weren't such a nitwit you might have read to the part where I already know no one is going to read it that actually should or the part where I don't even really like him. Just thought I might interrupt your circle jerk with a dissenting opinion and 1 big post getting it all out is better than a million identical posts like yours. I defy you to find 1 sentence where I stroke his ego any more than the fact that he is more talented than a bunch of reddit cockfags. Philly Crew, good one, never heard that before here...

For what it's worth, I think you're spot on with your Opie criticisms, and the biggest issue right now is that he either needs to learn to not take Jimmy's jokes so seriously when they're aimed at him, or he needs to bring someone else in full-time who can take the heat like Vos or Bobby.

Realistically, I think that if Opie doesn't re-sign at Sirius, he buys Riotcast and helps bring some much needed professional polish to the various podcasts that currently fall under its banner. It'd be a great move by him careerwise, and would hopefully allow Jimmy to do more shows with Ant too.

But fuck it, I guess we're just a bunch of ball lickers and Joe DeRosa is a shoulderless fag.

I'm the Nitwit? I told you already that I didn't read your shit diatribe. I skimmed it.

You got owned Jerry.

In short, you want all these opie bashers to love you. Congrats dude, you're cool. I'm sure "somebody" uploaded the call to soundcloud.

[deleted]

What did he do that was so wonderful?

[deleted]

No I don't.

he called a show that these people don't like and told him he suck

"I did it guys! Here, [someone] uploaded the file!" Hate the guy all you want, but you pretty much did what he said you were going to do.

Opie is pissed that it happened. It makes him sound like a fool and he admitted he has poor chemistry with Jim.

Now now...he admitted his chemistry with JIM wasn't "as good" as with Ant. I fucking can't stand Opie, but let's be sure we have the facts straight.

He said "My chemistry with Ant was amazing and my chemistry with Jim is...(pause because he was going to say it was dogshit before he negotiated for a new contract) not as good."

Dude, you corrected your original post, you said "Ant", not "Jim", hence my capitalization of JIM. I knew it was a typo and just emphasized the correction. In any case, Shithead did say the chemistry was "not as good". Opie sucks bad enough as is, there is no need to exaggerate shit, that's a bitch move.

How about you just listen to the show, can we maybe try that instead? Stop caring so much about something that in the end is someone else's radio show. You are the listener-- keep it that way, it's better for all of us that way.

It's crazy to me that you understand how shitty the show has become, and you continue to endure it so that you can complain about it. Just don't listen. *shrug.

I think that stems from hope that the show will be good again.

I was quite sick of the show well before Ant was fired (whether we like to admit it or not, we all know the last couple of years had been pretty shitty), but I hung in there hoping for at least somewhat of a return to greatness. It clearly was never going to happen, so a month ago I just stopped listening. And you know what? I don't miss a goddamned thing, have less irritation from my daily radio habits, and also have more time in the day to listen to shows that are actually worth the time.

Christ, any fan could see the writing on the wall from a mile away. Grim in the morning shows have always been the worst. I remember working in retail during college and being able to listen to the day's show when the store closed. It was the only good thing about my day, and when I'd fire up my Ipod and it turned out to be a No Anthony show, I would be fucking miserable.

That's every day now. Everyone, save yourselves the pain and just turn it off.

Jesus, his feelings were hurt with the very first sentence. Like Fez levels of hurt.

I'm surprised he didn't start crying.

Well BRAVO Sir! I've commented a few times already but it was nothing that was not to be expected. He tried to speak over you and resorted to insult you and call you names.

You pathetic reject. Jerry had nothing, he repeated the same thing over and over again when Opie and Jimmy where very relaxed and gave an honest answer, he literally said "me and jimmy dont have the chemistry" and the fact thats a different show without ant and if you dont like it, its time to move on.

What the fuck more do you want? What better answer can he give you dolts? Like are you retarded or are you only bashing him cause others are bashing him and it makes you a part of something in your miserably lonely life? Just move the fuck on, jesus christ.

Have you ever called to disagree with Ant? It's his only play.

LMAO Opie was right you actually did make a post saying "Look at me guys I got in!" And "honest crticism" is such bullshit. You don't call in a show and ask the host why is he ruining the show and expect him to have a honest discussion with you. Call in any radio show and most would hang up on you. That whole call gave me douche chills and it wasn't because of Opie. Now be proud cause you get a pat on the back.

Spot on.

Your correct. JERR acted like he had a friend that went to WhateverUSA and got arrested (or something like that) to get thru. He faked the screener because they wouldn't have taken his call. Opie kept him on the line to address his concerns. OP is not the voice of reason. He is obsessed. He wants that internet pub, the fame, the fortune that comes with being Jerry. Unfortunately posting here, I'm giving him what he wants. I just can't believe the heaping pile of negativity here.

That was me that called earlier this morning. I'm not looking for recognition by making this post

yeah that kinda means that you are. Youre pathetic

The more I listened to the call the more I realize how stupid you are. You really took pride in this and wrote a wall of text of it, Opie simply explained him its a different show, he literally said he and Jimmy dont have the same chemistry and if you dont like it its time to move on.

This makes me so happy, I personally dont like Opie but man he proved all you rejects wrong.

As I expected I didn't get much of a chance to talk. I wanted to have an open dialog with honest criticism, but I was labeled a hater and talked over instead. It's rather unfortunate, but I tried my best to toss in my honest opinion (NOT HATE) as much as possible.

Expected to talk? You stupid nothing? You said the same thing over and over again, "you have a bad show and now chemistry" and he explained it, youre so stupid man, super stupid.

In short, I became a fan of the O&A show due to their brutal honesty

he pretty much was brutaly honest, he admitted to having no chemistry with Jimmy and that the show isnt the same thing as it was before, what more do you want? If you dont like it, leave it. You retard, youre loving the attention so much from this, youre a hero man, a hero

see guys, after working with somebody for 10 years I guess there is just no chemistry......

Ofcourse they have chemistry, its all relative, if you can even comprehend that. Obviously not, so dont bother.

How the fuck did Opie prove anyone wrong. He plowed over what Jerry said. Just like he does with Jimmy, every guest on the show, and Ant.

You just plowed over what I said, you didnt read or answer jack shit what I told you.

he pretty much was brutaly honest, he admitted to having no chemistry with Jimmy and that the show isnt the same thing as it was before, what more do you want? If you dont like it, leave it.

Did you even read this? What more than you want? This is the simple honest truth, its so easy. ITS SO EASY! Just move on with your life. Did you even listen to the clip?

Hold On!,Hold On! Don't Be A "Dolt"!

Chill out man! One thing I learned on here is everyone fucks with each other, but its all in fun. In the grand scheme of things; a stupid forum means nothing in my life. I learned that from my mentor ThermitePaint! Lol!

This is even more fucked up. You people ride this until about 3 levels deep then all of you say like, its just for fun.

Are you guys psychotic or something? This thing you put on as "eah we're just fuckin with each other" is real. Its like when you play-fight when youre a kid and 1 second later its a real fight.

I'd have more respect if you werent fake but now you literally proved that you only hate cause its fun, youre at school bullying the minority cause dont worry, its only fun, you get in this collective mindset trying to impress each other bashing someone on social media and his own radio show he had for 20 years, but, its all in good fun.

Like wow man, this is even worse. Dont argue with me if you gonna punch out when you choke.

God Damn Bro!, Your Feelings must really turned up. How fucking sensitive are you? Arguing on here doesn't mean nothing. I've been verbally Brutalized on here, but who cares. I don't know these people. It's a fantasy world basically. I honestly don't believe any of us on here feel the need to impress each other. We don't know each other.

I couldn't pic you out of a lineup of the Harlem Globetrotters. I didn't choke. I just don't take this personally. The only choking going on here is you choking on your tears.

I didn't choke. I just don't take this personally. The only choking going on here is you choking on your tears.

Let me just... "xD".

Well, when you grow older you might understand, until then, have a nice day.

I don't remember telling you my age?

I just re-read OP. Wow Jerry, let me get this straight.

YOUR the guy that keeps this show honest? The last time I checked it was a show about entertainment.

YOU helped keep the show in line about the reality of the infamous Roland.

Now everyone is leaving it up to YOU to help get the show back on track. Hence the critique call.

Do me a favor, next time YOU have an issue with the show, can you make a post before and after the call? This way YOU can get as much recognition as YOU possibly can get. Deal? Even if it's passive aggressive.

Thanks for everything YOU do. The show wouldn't be the same without YOU.

Loser

Whats funny is "Jerry" did exactly what Opie said he would do.

Did Opie say he was going to keep his cool and counterpunch beautifully?

Counterpunch? That would imply that it was contest in the first place. "Jerry" lied to get on the air, got on the air, and attacked the guy whos name is on the wall.

I am not taking any sides in this shit but its ironic that "Jerry" did what Opie said he was going to do and posted about his phone call. If you cant see the irony I cant help you.

Fletcher sucks. :)

You guys need a life

Kill yourself you cork soaker

Jerry in all honesty get a life. Opie hit the nail right on the head by calling you creepy. Just stop listening to the show. The haters listen to the show and then come on here and bash opie all day long. I would bet a large sum of money that every opie basher secrectly wants his life and didnt have the balls or talent to acheive what he has done

What's your definition of "talent"?

You still haven't explained your criticism against Opie. And your criticism against Roland was extremely weak.

You're a fucking loser and you sounded like a loser...

Jerry you suck.

Opie is right, if you dont' like the show LISTEN TO SOMETHING ELSE. Holy fuck.

Everyone on here agrees with you should go listen to something else too. If you don't like it, leave. Simple enough.

Nice try, Gregg.

Aren't they mostly commenting about Opie's downfalls and not so much the rest of the show? He's not the whole show, a lot of people listen to the show for Jimmy.

I listen to hear the black cocks entering and leaving your anus with great veracity.

Nice reply, give yourself a bell!

Look at all you fucking sad little baby boy's. HAHAHAHAHA

[deleted]

You came off as a hater. A forum-loving, internet troll. I really hate this sub. Why do any of you bother to listen if all you do is complain about it? I'm going to unsubscribe to this sub, and I think you should do the same, and stop listening to the show. Otherwise you're just disrupting a show many people still enjoy.

[deleted]

"Constructive criticism" and yet you did exactly what he said you would.

Look at OP just calling everyone out for there hypocrisy. Opie and Anthony have always been hypocrites dummy. Cue the Sarah Jessica Parker YouTube clip.

Were you the ball-licker that Opie put on at the end?

No, he's the one that put the ball licker on the air.

Were you the ball-licker that Opie put on at the end?

JERRY SHEP-HARD-DI-NI

If that were true, he'd have a contract offer, no?

Very unlikely. Why would Jimmy waste money on getting some idiot to call in

[deleted]

[deleted]

Before or after you became a woman?

Craig Schinkel leading up to, "it's not sticky!" on TACS, I was busting my own balls laughing so hard.

Makes me wonder if that character was genuinely discouraged or if Jimmy just had to work on it more.

If all these people who listen to the show reach the same conclusion, then how are they haters?

Hold on hold on!

Well everyone likes them. They're really popular stickers.

"I know, I'm just kidding."

Yeah, but I'm saying, they're really popular, I know what I'm doing. I've been doing this since I was 18.

I'd love to hear Jimmy go after those shitty t-shirts.

It's a conspiracy

Seriously though, I don't think he has the intellect to pull that off.

"Nice postage stamps!" :)

Opie does make a good point about still listening to the show. What is the obsession with the show if you are so obsessed with hating it and with hating the host? This whole foundation of this subreddit is concentrated hate.

So he can say how he feels without having to worry about the reprecautions from management or Opie. Thats what he doesn't say much when they call in.

Agreed.

Perfect point about there not seeming like any piece of the triangle was missing on Anthony's show. It was actually better with just them two. When your cohosts can have chemistry with pretty much anyone they're around, and you struggle to have a normal conversation with someone you've worked with for more than 10 years, maybe YOU'RE the one that's hard to talk to, Opie.

Opie would do that when others were getting into with callers. I remember a couple times with Patrice, Opie would immediately jump to the caller's defense and ensure that they got their turn to speak. What an insecure hypocrite.

We simply want it all to be as good as it can be.

The problem Opie has is that "as good as it can be" means less of him. Which, if he were to sit in the back seat, would only make the SXM execs question why they are paying him.

For Opie, it's a catch-22: either he shuts up, makes the show better, and at the end he loses his job, or he kisses ass, keeps throwing his weight around, and loses the show's credibility but keeps his paycheck for at least one more contract renewal.

Pretty sure the thought that went through his head when he started that sentence was "The company likes me so nyah nyah haterrr!", and I'm pretty sure he's deceived himself into believing it. But he knew how bratty and low-self-esteem it would sound if he said it that way so he had to word it differently.

You come off as an pathetic nothing craving attention and approval from the bandwagon haters. Youre a piece of shit, like really, do you even realize that?

Well, Jerry got kinda owned.

Of course you didn't read it. You're a fucking moron. If you actually could understand what I wrote you would see that I'm not so much defending him as attacking this sub's borderline homosexual obsession with a guy they claim to hate and want to ignore. People spend their entire day refreshing his twitter page so they can chime in here and have everyone agree with them. It really is pathetic and stalkerish. Opie never called himself the destroyer btw. He certainly destroyed little Jerry and his bumbling attempt at an attack. All Jerry has succeeded in is karma whoring you bandwagoners.

I'm starting to think Opie may be right about the "haters". Maybe this sub has "passed me by". The sub for Ant's show is infinitely better and most of the negativity that bleeds over from here gets rightfully shit on. You'll notice that Ant never bad mouths Opie and would probably put you in your place if you tried to in his presence. It's not because he can't or is scared to. It's not even because he has to be careful not to step on Jim's toes come time to re-sign or not. It's because I think he really does like Opie and respects him for bailing his ass out of a life of serfdom. It's evidenced by the fact that he still texts Opie and talks to him behind the scenes. He may not think Opie is the funniest guy or even want to work with him again, but after spending 20 years together people tend to get tired of each others' shit.

I wouldn't call reddit social media. Especially most of the subs I frequent are more like anti-social media. Anyone that spends their time looking for validation on twitter, facebook, or the like is a sad sack of shit and needs to reevaluate their life. Your downvotes only make me prouder to not be a part of the hivemind.

You dont even make sense, are you trying to be stupid or are you actually this stupid?

But one thing is for sure.. You Have Trained Yourself To Talk Like Opie! Hah Hah Hah! What a fucking loser of epic proportions!

This? With Capital Letters In Some 14 Y/o Shit.

Most of the time ill ignore dumb people and avoid arguing with them but sometimes I forget and shit like this reminds me why. Jesus man.

Im sure youre trolling havin' a good ol' laugh, but, ugh..

Oooh. Big words. Again, just turn it off. The show is not going to change for you.

When I am addressed, I respond. Don't want me to respond? Don't address me, dummy. What? I'm supposed to not respond to something just because you can't handle a little virtual envelop being red?

I don't give a fuck if I'm getting under your skin or not, that wasn't the point. The point, dummy, is that you're complaining about my responses and yet you keep addressing me...

It's my absolute favorite show ever. I must have watched all of it 3000 times when I was first getting into comedy.
