He can't do a show with other people, either.

FACE

The last time I remember him alone on the air he panicked and just started throwing cereal on Roland. Riveting raqio.

Why is there cereal in the studio?

What is he 12?

More like 15 and a girl.

Obsessed with "haters" and viral videos.

yeah, i'm absolutely SHOCKED that the video of said incident didn't go viral. it's like he had it all worked out, but it just wasn't in the cards.

Was that the thing where he was shouting "C'mon let's do this" over and over again

He should be the spokes person for Dos Yuckies! The least interesting man in the world... or sumpthin....

I'm telling you, he needs to start getting drunk or something. Anything to break the monotonous gutter he's been treading in all these years.

A donut and tequila day would do the show wonders. Opie should get high as fuck and go into it pounding shots. This sub would explode.

I would resubscribe

This is the advice of an alcoholic but I endorse it with every fiber of my being.

Everyone knew this the second Ant was fired. The signs were there the whole time. When Ant was out the show was clearly taking a downward spiral.

You may or may not agree with Ant, and his politics pissed so many people off. But they were entertaining. Everyone got bored of it and took it too seriously, HURR DURR FOX NEWS PARROT HURR DURR but this is an entertainment show, this is not CNN or MSNBC, we don't debate politics here.

Without the political factor the show isn't the same. Ant was a master at trolling and baiting callers. I'm going to miss that the most. He'd use the show as a platform to troll on racial issues, troll housewives about the Casey Anthony trial, ramble on about the latest issues of the day. Oh how I miss him*

*I did not and will not pay a monthly fee for his stand alone show as he is bad by himself and the O&A show was a perfect mix of the two. They both suck by themselves. Just reunite already.

Opie straight Fezzin

Fuck even with jim their he stinks.

Wrong. Today was a scheduled Ron Bennington show with his daughter Gail Opie decided to show up at the last minute and fuck everything up

Well, I believe that Germany should do more to stimulate domestic consumption and investment, goes the refrain. This would help countries like France and Italy as they undergo tough structural reforms. Higher imports would also reduce Germany’s current-account surplus, the largest in the world and a cause of imbalances within Europe and beyond. Stimulating demand would push up prices, which could save the euro zone from tipping into deflation. Prices in the zone rose at an annualised 0.4% in October, far below the 2% ceiling set by the European Central Bank

I don't listen to the show and I have no interest in Opie, but let's be honest. A show that's supposed to have that vibe should never be done solo. Ant can carry his because he's great and it's also video, but even his show would be better with someone to talk to.

no one does a 3-4 hour daily "comedy" radio program alone.

See anthony cumia.

2 hours.

Very good! Now tell me why there is zero minutes of humor coming from your hero Opie.

my hero opie is why we're all here. you know that as well as me.

Who gives a shit, today was a good show.

You fuckin people have some kind of psychological issue if youre hating someone on the radio so much. Freaks. Get a life

What about people like you that hate on people that are commenting on radio shows? Drop dead.

Fuck you, prick. Go listen to something else and cry somewhere else. Every fuckin opie hater is just a jealous cunt. Buncha lonely, loathing bitches. Nice name, it makes sense. Fuck you.

You didn't answer my question, stupid boy. But I sure did seem to stike a nerve with your faggot ass.

"Nice name, it makes sense"

Wow....did you think this was clever?

If it wasnt for you bloody tampons aching and bitching relentlessly, i would have zero complaints. Question answered. Fuck off little bitch. Your second question is too clever for me to answer. Stick something up your ass and go to bed Mary

So if you have complaints about the board being anti-Opie....why in the fuck are you here you tard? One would think, if you had a fucking brain, that you would go elsewhere since the board is not agreeing with your views. Your views being ZERO humor, since you are an obvious Opie faggot lover. But you don't have a brain. You like Opie....so that alone proves you as a fucking blithering idiot.

Didn't I tell you to drop dead? Please focus on that, simple minded boy.

Yeah. Why am i here? Superb question bobodick. Im a fuckin nutcase cuz i thought the opieandanthony subreddit would actually LIKE the fuckin host! Stupid fuck. You run with opie haters cuz thats all you have in your sadass life. The board is not agreeing with me because im calling the morons out. Get fucked loser.

There is one host missing, you stupid fucking cock!! That fucking FRAUD Opie, and his ZERO talent, is what this subreddit hates. Are you that fucking dumb that you cannot see that, you cock sucking freak? No, IDIOT, the board is not agreeing with you because you are sucking Opies cock. You are what we call a "white knight". But usually, it is men white knighting for pussy. You are wanting to either suck Opies cock, or have him fuck you in the ass. The man absolutely stinks!!

Tell me to get fucked all you want....yet here you are replying to me, and replying to this forum, while you bitch like a cunt about it. Fuck off if you don't like it you motherless fuck.

Sorry man. Love ya

y u mad tho?

Maybe if there were discussions about the show instead of every. Single. Fawking post is all about how Opie sucks. I mean god damn, we get it.

start up some discussions. there are still good points of the show. unfortunately, not as many of them as there used to be and they don't really do anything anymore, but there are still positives.

Wah!Wah!Wah!

If you got it, STOOPID, you would realize the board is not for you. Things change cunt boy. Put your big boy pants on and move on.

Hey jerk-ass, get a powerdrill, jam it in your bitchface of a moms stomach and help drain all the drug dealers jizz out. You're a fuckin waste of space.

Christ are you boring.

He isn't the funny one. He knows he isn't the funny one. Why would he do a show on his own if he isn't funny? You queers are so embarrassing.

You don't necessarily have to be funny to be entertaining, Opie is in the entertainment industry yet he is clearly uncomfortable hosting a show by himself. This self evident fact gives credence to the argument that Opie is nothing more than a hack and a coattail rider who is incapable of being self-sufficient.

Well no shit. For 20 years he's been doing a show with multiple people....also, how many radio shows are hosted by one person besides Limbaugh and Lonsberry? Quit grasping at straws pussy

I'm not saying his feet should be held to the fire and that he should be forced to do a solo show. But if Opie insists on making statements like "I know what I'm doing." and "I've been doing this since I was 18." he should at least be capable of doing an entertaining show by himself. There's a reason why he was toiling in obscurity before he met Anthony, his unwarranted pretentiousness is what most people are neigh saying in this thread. Given his adamant defenses of his individual talent juxtaposed to his actions when facing the possibility of doing a solo show, I'd say most of the gripes here are legitimate.

Seriously? If one were to make a list of talk radio shows with one host it would be an incredibly long list.

Yes, and stern is a hack too, so is bennington. Make sense plz and stop obsessing.

Have you ever heard Ron or Stern try to validate their radio careers by stating "I've been doing radio since I was...I know what I'm doing."? No, because they don't have to. Their proficiency is self evident and does not need to be elaborated on any further. If you are unable to defend Opie outside of issuing a red herring I feel there is nothing else to discuss benjamin72.

So stern and bennington don't do shows by themselves, do they? You couldn't answer my point so you chose to talk about opie "validating his career". Your'e right, there is nothing more to discuss.

ron pretty much does a show every day by himself...he's got his yes man there but thats about it.

Oh, now are you moving the sticks? Another fallacy it is. You said they (Ron and Stern) were hacks, and I issued a proper rebuttal, but I'll humor you anyway. Even though neither Stern nor Ron do solo shows, they are certainly capable of doing so, and neither of them would panic if the proposition were to be thrust upon them. Ron and Stern are both vastly superior to Opie as radio personalities, they are articulate and able to expound on a variety of subjects while still maintaining some level of entertainment value. I find neither of them (Ron nor Stern) to be particularly funny like Anthony or Jimmy, but they can hold my interest with their ability to express their opinions in an entertaining fashion. You can ascertain this fact in a group setting and extrapolate it to a solo scenario. When Opie goes on a tangent he typically stammers, fumbles about, and is generally ill-informed. Therefore. I can deduce he is incapable as a radio personality if left to his own devices.

I never said ron and stern were hacks. You really are terrible at this.

Yes, and stern is a hack too, so is bennington. Make sense plz and stop obsessing.

Bad troll or mouth breather?

LOL! You don't get sarcasm do you? They don't do shows by themselves, and you said opie stinks because he can't do a show by himself, hence the sarcasm. Why do i have to keep explaining everything to you?

I understood your intention, but you still stated it explicitly so don't deny saying it in the first place. I understand they don't do solo shows, but Ron has been carrying his own weight for a number of years, and Howard is capable of doing it as well, hence my response to that comment.

Have you ever heard Ron or Stern try to validate their radio careers by stating "I've been doing radio since I was...I know what I'm doing."? No, because they don't have to. Their proficiency is self evident and does not need to be elaborated on any further.

How does Opie pull his own weight in a group setting that would suggest he is capable for running a show by himself? Defend Opie if you want to defend my claims against him, don't bring up other Jocks that are clearly superior to the Opster and throw out the red herring "well they don't do solo shows either are they hacks too?" as that is not central to the point. I explain this in a previous comment.

I find neither of them (Ron nor Stern) to be particularly funny like Anthony or Jimmy, but they can hold my interest with their ability to express their opinions in an entertaining fashion. You can ascertain this fact in a group setting and extrapolate it to a solo scenario. When Opie goes on a tangent he typically stammers, fumbles about, and is generally ill-informed.

Perhaps you should make sure you understand what your arguing against before you spout nonsense, benjamin 72. Give a valid defense in favor of Opie as a radio personality and I will concede the argument.

I don't have to defend opie as a radio personality. I simply pointed out that not doing a show by yourself isn't an indication that one sucks. You ramble about this and that, never making any points, focus.

I've stated my point numerous times over, you're either feigning ignorance or are a dullard. My argument is that Opie is incapable of doing a show by himself, not that he should be forced to have to do a solo show. Again, you are either willfully inattentive or a dolt.

I'm not saying his feet should be held to the fire and that he should be forced to do a solo show.

Competent broadcasters are able to be entertaining individually, self sufficient, and do not have to rely on others to carry them. I have reiterated this numerous times, if you are unable to grasp the point the burden is on you, whether or not you acknowledge the points I've made has no barring on their validity.

I've sufficiently refuted your claim:

He isn't the funny one. He knows he isn't the funny one. Why would he do a show on his own if he isn't funny?

With my argument that it is possible to be entertaining in other ways outside of being humorous, and that it is Opie's overall incompetence as a radio personality that would inhibit him if he were to be left to his own devices, not his lack of humor, it is possible to be entertaining without relying on humor exclusively, as you seem to suggest. Opie tells boring anecdotes, has no wit to speak of, and has a hard time elaborating on current events or news stories. Do you honestly believe that Opie not being funny is the only thing preventing him from doing a solo show?

Annnnnnndddd... Again, you rambled about nothing and my point still stands: Not being able to do a show by yourself doesn't mean one sucks. Please stop rambling and either refute my point or go away.

I just refuted your point, you're using a straw man argument. Opie not doing a show wasn't my proposition, I even made it bold for you. I guess I'll just have to summarize the entire exchange for you. Your original claim was.

He isn't the funny one. He knows he isn't the funny one. Why would he do a show on his own if he isn't funny?

I instead proposed my argument

You don't necessarily have to be funny to be entertaining.

You countered with the red herring.

Yes, and stern is a hack too, so is bennington. Make sense plz and stop obsessing.

I demonstrated that this point had no barring on the issue at hand, and that I am consistent in stating that Opie is incapable of hosting a solo show while Ron and Stern are able to do so, even though neither of them actually host solo shows. I elaborated on how this can be deduced, while refuting your original claim, i.e. because Opie is not funny he should not do a solo show, while supporting my claim, i.e. there are ways to be entertaining outside of being funny.

I find neither of them (Ron nor Stern) to be particularly funny like Anthony or Jimmy, but they can hold my interest with their ability to express their opinions in an entertaining fashion. You can ascertain this fact in a group setting and extrapolate it to a solo scenario. When Opie goes on a tangent he typically stammers, fumbles about, and is generally ill-informed. Therefore. I can deduce he is incapable as a radio personality if left to his own devices.

Now this is where the conversation really goes off the rails, you try to misdirect my argument by claiming

I never said ron and stern were hacks.

To suggest that because the comment was sarcastic, I was wrong to elaborate on it. but your original statement

Yes, and stern is a hack too, so is bennington. Make sense plz and stop obsessing.

Implies that you can't call someone a hack, just because they do not do a solo show. But this is a straw man argument and a fallacy, as I've stated, because that was never my argument, but rather, Opie is incapable of doing a solo show and being self sufficient. Hopefully you'll grasp the point this time now that I have made it bold for you twice. I clarify my point for you once again, that Opie as a whole is not entertaining, which is why he is incompetent and incapable of being self sufficient.

It is possible to be entertaining without relying on humor exclusively, as you seem to suggest. Opie tells boring anecdotes, has no wit to speak of, and has a hard time elaborating on current events or news stories.

You continue to feign ignorance and look like a dope in the process.

Please stop rambling and either refute my point or go away

In summation,

Your argument:

Opie is not funny, he should not have to a solo show because he is not funny.

• N/A

My argument:

Being entertaining is not limited to being funny

• Opie is not entertaining in a group setting
• Opie has difficulty telling anecdotes, commenting on current events, isn't funny, and overall a boring guy
• Therefore, Opie is not entertaining.
• Since Opie is not entertaining, he is incapable of being self sufficient
• If Opie is incapable of being self sufficient, he is incapable of hosting a solo show

Tl;DR: You got owned.

And after all that, you STILL didn't refute the fact that not being able to do a show on you're own doesn't mean one sucks. You are truly obsessed sir.

You are the personification of fail benjamin72

you STILL didn't refute the fact that not being able to do a show on you're own doesn't mean one sucks.

But wasn't your argument

I simply pointed out that not doing a show by yourself isn't an indication that one sucks.

?

LOL, you're bad at this. Once you could no longer deny my proposition due to the bold type you were forced to move the sticks yet again. Now you concede my argument that Opie is incapable of doing a solo show by stating "not being able to do a show on you're own" , bravo benjamin72, I knew you would come around. But your next fail is to deny the self evident truth that if a radio personality is not able to host a radio show independent of a co-host he is not mediocre, or as you eloquently put it "sucks". Since Opie is incapable of performing his job without the assistance of external benefactors i.e. Anthony or Jimmy, for the reasons I have outlined previously, he most certainly does suck at being a radio host.

You have relied on fallacies to stay afloat, red herrings, straw mans, and most recently, moving the sticks, but have been thoroughly trounced because of it. I'm 2-0 against you in these lackluster debates benjamin72, you have my sympathy for your ineptitude.

AND STILL, you have not been able to refute my point: That not being able to do a show on you're own doesn't mean one sucks. How many times do i need to repeat this?! This is getting tiresome...

LOL LOL LOL. Just because you state something doesn't make it so, benjamin72. I have properly refuted that claim already, and I have just demonstrated explicitly in my previous post that you contradicted yourself. I've already defeated you handily.

Since you have proven yourself to be a dullard I'll give you an analogy to simplify things. A great guitarist who is a member of a band is still a great guitarist independent of that band. However, a mediocre drummer who is also a member of the band does not become inherently more talented by proxy, and is still mediocre independent of the group. You can deduce the drummer sucks even when he is performing with the band, which inevitably means he would suck as a solo artist as well. The gifted guitarist on the other hand might not be as successful if he were to become a solo artist, but his inherent talent would remain unchanged. Put simply, if the drummer sucks at being drummer (stick control, keeping a rhythm, etc.) he sucks at being a drummer. If Opie struggles routinely to be entertaining on the radio (terrible anecdotes, unable to elaborate on subjects, etc.) he sucks at being a radio host. If a jock is forced to do a solo show, he must rely on his own individual talent in order to succeed. Opie does not have the requisite talent to be considered a proficient jock, hence he would not be able to do a solo show.

Still lost? How about this interation: Opie sucking is a necessary reality for him being unable to do a solo show, if he were talented he would be able to do a solo show. Since you accept the notion that he is unable to do a solo show, you also accept the notion that he sucks since this would necessarily have to proceed his inability to do a solo show.

I have sufficiently proven my argument and also have provided clear examples of your fumbles throughout this exchange. I am the victor, and am now 2-0 against you benjamin72. Once you contradict yourself the cause is lost I'm afraid, even before that you didn't really have a legitimate argument anyway so it was really inconsequential to the necessary outcome, but it certainly sealed your fate as a reddit failure. I eagerly await your next fallacy ridden response.

You typed ALL THAT and still didn't refute my point?! You are one obsessed loser!

That dumbass does not know he's not funny. He's fucking clueless.

Well, at least that decent speculation, not a pathetic dodge.

I'm not saying his feet should be held to the fire and that he should be forced to do a solo show. But if Opie insists on making statements like "I know what I'm doing." and "I've been doing this since I was 18." he should at least be capable of doing an entertaining show by himself.
