Opie, you don't "lose" if you speak truthfully about seeing the Reddit. It's a win-win. It's a long post, so ignore this if you're planning on being a cunt about it.

If you admit that you've at least been to Reddit, maybe some of the people will stop hating you as much as they currently do. It would represent a single shred of honesty amid a veil of lies. We get to say we were acknowledged and jerk ourselves off about it, but you gain a relatively significant amount of respect for that honesty.

My dislike of you is entirely based on your radio performance and personality. I know some people on here are obsessed with the idea of loyalty, etc. I don't think all of us are. This has nothing to do with whether or not you like Ant (for me). I could care less because we know nothing about behind the scenes but hearsay.

I only like you or dislike you for your content and on-air personality. You're a liar who is reverting to the same kind of radio you spent the last ten years shitting all over, both content-wise and attitude-wise. You put zero show prep into the show and actually have made that into something of a running bit. You've spent many years stomping over people's jokes, and it's more noticeable now in retrospect. It makes Patrice archives difficult to listen to, which is criminal on your part. Make some fixes and I'll even start listening regularly again...I'll have to think about that actually.

And I understand embellishing the truth for entertainment, but come on. Pepperidge Farm was never a welfare brand. I'll stop at that example because there's about a million more I could say and this post is too long already. You can own up to everything at any point and win back at least some modicum of respect, which you could then use to gain back some audience members.

Never happen. You have to understand that there are issues first before you can do anything about them.

Opie's instincts (passed on to him by his mommy) are fight, fight, debate, deny, have excuses for everything, deny, rage, pout, hold grudges, fight, fight, never give in, never forget, always be mad, pout, pout, pout, pout, whine, bitch , blame. In that order.

Slow clap

Without thinking about any benefits that would come from him actually just saying he's been to reddit, I think it's weirder if you look at the results of him lying and saying he hasn't.

What are they? What is he accomplishing there? The only thing it accomplishes is it makes him look like even more of a liar, and even more insecure. I just don't get it. He went out of his way to respond to that to make the point that he hasn't been here. Even if people actually believed that, what's the point?

I'm pretty much with you 100% on everything else, I hate Opie almost exclusively just for the fact that he's such an awful radio broadcaster, and he has consistently, substantially brought down what is otherwise a show that has given me more laughs and enjoyment than probably any other form of entertainment in any medium. It's fucking baffling that he continues to be such a phony, hacky person when he's been surrounded by people who are amazing at being the opposite for over a decade now.
