The Great Pretender II - Opie Gets a Ticket

11 2014-09-24 by _TheConsumer_

For your misery, here is a link to the video.

Opie: “I got pulled over for not wearing a seat belt. I rolled down my window and the officer says, 'Do you know why I pulled you over?' We've all heard that, obviously. I said, Why don't you tell me? It's your job. Why do I have to do your job?”

Anthony: “Is that what you said?”

Opie: “Um... no.” (awkward laugh)

Opie: “The cop was just a dick. A real low-level guy. He told me he was following me since 'blah-blah' street, but was giving me a chance to put the seat belt on in case I had just gotten in the car. I told the officer, Well, how about giving me that chance now?”

Opie: “I have a PBA shield that is so good, I think they only gave 10 of these away in the whole country.”

Opie: “After the cop gave me the ticket, she said 'Mr. Hughes, make sure you wear your seatbelt.' So, I told her, Well, it's too late now. Then, I peeled out.”

Opie: “And then, after I dropped my kid off, I went back to the area where they pulled me over. I was looking for them. I wanted to talk to them and give them a lecture.”

Opie: “There was this one time, I was driving on the Henry Hudson Parkway (in Manhattan) and a cop pulled me over. I was driving 20 miles over the speed limit. He was so happy. So, I handed him every PBA card I owned. After he went back to his car, he returned to me and was so pissed that he couldn't give me a ticket that he threw the PBA cards at me.”

The best part of this clip is the immediate calling out that Anthony does with Opie's story. Two sentences in, Anthony is smelling BS and wants Opie to know it.

Opie "peeled" out. In the middle of the Manhattan.

Opie comes off a real entitled ass in this clip. He keeps calling the cops "low level guys" - as if only the Chief of Police can pull him over.

Lastly, there is no way Opie went back to look for the cops. Even so, who does he think he is that he is going to go back, look for the cops who ticketed him and give them a "lecture?"

WHY DOES NOBODY TIMESTAMP THE LINK?

Actually never mind, just reading the summary makes me uncomfortable

I usually do - but his comments were evenly distributed throughout the whole clip. Anthony calling him out happened in the first 4-5 mins.

If Opie heard anyone not linked to the show talking like that he'd bash them for being so full of themselves

The whole thing is a festival of easily see-through lies. The highlight for me is Sam calling him "Opie Max."

Ant, WAIT WAIT WAIT, I'm talking about a cop that's mixed up in seatbelt tickets. I'm talking about a...a..a low-level cop who got mixed up with the Opster and got what was coming. That's GREAT RADIO! And we got PBA cards in our wallets, don't we Ant?

ME: It's nothing personal; it's strictly business.

"...I had my seat-belt on by then." "I got a freebie....then I pealed out." "In the end, I didn't have a seat-belt on." (???)

BTW: if that other cop was "Soooooo MAD!", he wouldn't have honored his PBA card.

6 CookieHaid 2014-09-24

P.S.: I'm ALL IN with Opie NOT wearing a seat-belt.

3 CookieHaid 2014-09-24

P.P.S.: @ 11:11, Ope drops a famous "THANK YOU!" when agreeing with something Ant says.

Opie throws in these asides that make it clear this is complete Bravo Sierra... "and he never asked me for my registration either"...I guess he thought that would make the cop seem incompetent or something.

2 CookieHaid 2014-09-24

Good point...I thought that was strange too; didn't realize it could easily be a passive-aggressive accusation of incompetence. Cops CAN check registration status without paperwork though. Dunno if it's still the case in NY, but it's only the license and proof-of-insurance proof that's required.

Does anybody remember Opie telling a story about screaming at a woman because her kid was crying? It was on the sidewalk and Opie was apparently walking near her and yelled at her to shut the baby up. I think Bill Burr was in studio, but yes it was "Opie Max" digging himself into a deep made up story once again. God he's so cringe inducing.

He probably wanted to make a citizen's lecture.

3 occult91 2014-09-24

honestly one of his most booring stories to me was that long ass jury duty story he told

3 BeerCanThick 2014-09-24

Opie is always a defiant, laugh-a-minute hardass in his lies. Why then is he such a meek, unfunny pussy in studio?

2 CookieHaid 2014-09-24

tsss...yeah, I was crackin' everybody up...

2 fervt 2014-09-24

Does this mean the "gets a ticket and starts shadowboxing" story is a seperate incident?

This sums him up nicely.

2 CookieHaid 2014-09-24

Oh BOOOOO! I forgot that one.

2 BeerCanThick 2014-09-24

Can you do that? Just give a cop a "lecture?" Wag your finger at the young lad and give him a stern talking to and what-for?

3 _TheConsumer_ 2014-09-24

Cops love it when you yell at them and tell them that they work for you.

I would have paid good money to see Opie do this - and get a swift application of wood shampoo.

1 BeerCanThick 2014-09-24

Oh yeah. And when you're doing that, inform them that you know your rights and ask for their badge numbers.

Then the cop started throwing up and I threw up too.

My buddy was filming from the backseat but we lost the tape.
