O: Here comes Jamie Hector... one his people running down the hall.. I don't know her name...

J: It's Betsy.

O: Betsy?

Florentine: Yeah. Oh, yeah, because she's run the stuff when I've come up here to do press.

O: Oh. It's Betsy?

Flor: Yeah. She's cool, man. She--

Jim: Hold the door (?)

O: It's Betsy? (in background) you sure? [Jim: Yeah]

Flor: She's help me out in nine different studios (or something)

Jim (chickening out just as Opie yells, Opie doesn't hear him): No it's not

Opie: BETSY! WE'RE COOL! We're cool Betsy! ... that's not her name?

Sam: No it isn't.

Opie: Jamie how are ya! Lookin good bro! etc. etc. horribleness

.... skip to 2:44:00

Flor (god bless him): Opie wanted to say hi to Betsy, the publicist that's bringing you around.

O: (nervous laugh)

JH: Betsy? No, that's Soji

Sam: Betsy's the SiriusXM talent booker.

Opie still nervously laughing in background

Flor: Well, who was that that came in? (Opie still laughing nervously because he's in on the joke, obviously)

Sam: The blonde? Betsy.

Flor: That's what I was saying.

(Someone?): Tracy.

Flor: It's Tracy. Tracy. What are you saying Betsy for? I thought it was Tracy.

[Caution: enraging comment coming up]

O: It was a whole thing WE were trying to do before you came in here, Jamie. It didn't work well.

Jim: Yeah, we just, you know. Just one of those things.

Flor: No, it worked really well.

O: you think?

Flor: Yeah. Because you were yelling "Betsy, Betsy!"

O: Oh, I knew her name wasn't Betsy the whole time! I was just fucking around! I wanted to make her uncomfortable! That's what I'm saying! It didn't work! It didn't work!

Flor: All right.

Jim: (mentally throws himself off the building) So, did you watch the Golden Globes?

I contend, people: that Opie did not, in fact, know her name was Betsy.

I further put forth for your consideration that Opie is awful.

Why, yes! I did waste too much time on this. So why do I feel so satisfied?

Wow, that is the worst thing Boobster's done since... yesterday's show.

Hopefully tomorrow he brings into the studio a loaded shotgun, sucks on the barrel, then pulls the trigger.

After over a decade of people being made fun of in the same room as him, he can't even admit to not understanding a simple joke and roll with the punches.

Just let those insecurities shine through, Opie.

I am beginning to think Florentine only shows up because he knows Opie is an easy mark.

The whole 'yelling out the studio door as people walk by' bit always sucked.

I love "mentally throws himself off a building"

"Please, Betsy, I bought it for you..."

"I've already got the record."

Leave it alone...
