it feels stupid even saying this but Im Brendon ( proof, maybe? ), and Im actually on this sub a lot but made this throwaway account for this.
like some people said, i created and wrote a site that ONA would mention from time to time, so i don't "know" Opie (or anyone else on the show) but we've traded a few dozen emails and the guy has never been anything but nice to me.
i probably should have just shut up today on twitter (even though im just some random jackass and my opinion doesn't carry any more or less weight than every other person on here), I just don't understand what he's doing.
Ant got fired because sirius is run by dimwitted and skittish pussies, but also because hes got some self destructive qualities. so if Opie is mad at Ant, its not entirely unreasonable. i just wish he would say it.
if nothing else Opie was always the guy who was honest.
was a guest (i think Mohr and a guy with the Stanley Cup were on that day too), because she was a prostitute who just did Playboy after fucking the Governor of New York, but then when she got on the air she only wanted to talk about being a singer?
Ant and Jimmy actually played along with that shit; Opie was the one who lasted about 5 minutes before basically telling her to get out, before telling her that shes not on the radio because people give a shit about song lyrics that a teen prostitute wrote.
that version of Opie would never do the shit hes doing now. if he was mad at Ant and sirius, he would say it. he wouldn't just act like Ant never existed and that management at sirius somehow stopped being panicky retards overnight.
EDIT/UPDATE: so did Opie maybe take down that first tweet? if so, to recap, at about 6 this morning (3 for me here in Vegas), Opies twitter said:
"The OpieRadio-FunnyMofos Daily is out! paper.li Stories via @AndyKindler @TheRevBobLevy @elizaskinner"
At least you said something. I mean, all of us here are O&A fans (even with Opie). The show Opie now puts out is nearly identical to the shows from Jocktober and we just want him to be honest. I can tolerate him being shitty, unfunny, untalented, hack, etc...But I can't stand him being such a lying, hypocritical fraud
However, nobody can actually tell him this. Reddit is now "ohhhh, that hater site" and any criticism on Twitter is quickly dismissed and the "Hater" is blocked. I would message him through YouTube with constructive criticism, hoping that he would turn the show around and broadcast something listenable...but, no...I was just being a hater
So at least someone that once had his respect is speaking out. The usual comics/"Friends of the Show" don't have the balls to tell him the show stinks.
He can ignore the thousands of fans that tell him he's shit, but he's such an egomaniac that your criticism may actually affect him. At least, I hope so
The retarded fanatic fan was caught on video saying opie sucks. I'd say Opie's ego is having to do a balancing act as we speak. He will either explode or dissapear. It has to happen eventually.
Opie was following you at the time of your tweet, but it looks like you have been dumped: http://i.imgur.com/LAaCQm2.png Was burning that bridge worth it?
He deleted the tweet and stopped following him instead of being a real person and just responding. How much more hateable can Opie possibly become? Absolutely everything he does is steeped in folly.
Fuck yes it was worth it! If Opie blocked a guy he thought was his Twitter buddy? Then that means Opie read Brendan's Tweet.
Think about how much Brendan's tweet burned Opie's ass?
Hip Hip HOORAY!!πππππππππ
Hey Brendon, I just started following you on twitter because of this thread. I used to read WWTDD all the time, you had some really great lines over the years, and I appreciated the contempt for celebrity.
I think the example you brought up could speak volumes about all three of them, though.
Granted I don't think I've ever heard this exact audio so I'm basically talking out of my ass.
But based on my experience listening in the past, in a situation like this Ant and Jim probably would play along with the idea that this chick is a singer. They'd get their jokes in subtly and mock the whole thing along the way. Because they are funny they can do this.
Opie on the other hand has no comedic skill. The only thing he's ever brought to the table is the fearlessness to be outright mean to someone's face. He realized somewhere along the lines that this will get laughs just off the mere shock of it.
What you're calling honesty, I'd say is more likely him going back to the only well he has which is "shock jockery."
But again, like I said, haven't heard the audio. Maybe he handled it better than that.
Always thought the wwtdd guy was named "Brandon". Huh. Guess you learn something new every day. For what it's worth I used to enjoy reading that site before it turned to shit. What was the deal with that anywho? How did you get ousted from your own website?!
I still love Opie as much as I love Ant and Jim. Whatever anyone feels about the situation as is... I think its just wrong to forget that these 3 guys did the best damn show ever together. I simply refuse to turn on any one of them. Its my way of thanking them for the laughs. Let it work itself out. I look at it this way... now I have even more hours to listen to my radio pals, Opie, Ant, Jim, Ron, Fez... and all of the other great friends of the show who branched out to do podcasts.
so is "brendon", but theyre both better than "agatha", and neither is my real name. i just used it when i started writing online because i wasnt trying to be some dickhead like perez hilton. the only thing more pathetic than a famous blogger is a blogger trying to be famous.
Agatha Tinsley is a Jim Norton fabrication...He had a movie idea called "The Rape of Agatha Tinsley" the story of an elderly women who gets gang raped by a group of large minorities. The movie is over 3 hours long, the rape is 2 hours and 56 minutes...So yes, Agatha was intended to be a terrible name.
I just wanted to clear up any mix up...Carry on, faggots
Or you just open it in another browser when you're not logged into twitter and you see can see their tweets. It's not like they designed it with the intent of blocking genius hackers, it's just a way for you to tell someone that you don't appreciate their shit.
Sources indicate that, yes, he was in fact all in with WWTDD, but those same sources seem to agree that he has now most definitely tapped out of WWTDD due to today's tweets from Brendon.

It's a site that used to get mentioned on the show from time to time. It stopped being funny after Brendon kind of flaked out and got fired/quit.
But seriously...doesn't everybody know at this point that Funny Mofos is a bot that opie has nothing to do with really? I don't even think it's pulled from who he follows. If I remember correctly (from the one time I clicked on it years ago) it just points to some shitty site. Could be wrong...but i'm not willing to click that garbage again to find out.
Agreed. The shit sucks. Do we even know if he named it? Kinda sounds like a "we like to keep our site family friendly" kind of name that he probably didn't have control over.
Either way...it's garbage, and the shit he gets for it probably isn't worth the passive income it generates for him.
Yes, if you can find the clip of Vos mocking it he gives some horseshit excuse like he just named it really fast without thinking about it or something.

"What the hell Opie? Promoting @AndyKindler , yet again, after all the stuff he said about Ant?
Opie, you've basically done every single thing wrong every single day for 6 months.ONA fans pretty much despise you at this point, which is fucking astounding considering that you're O. We should like you.
@RonMorse I'm pretty sure you're right about them just compiling his followers for content, but that means he follows Kindler @RonMorse the whole "funny mofo" thing is awful anyway. its like prepburger for twitter, if Opie had any dignity he'd be embarrassed.
I miss the hell out of Brendan's WWTDD. One of the only websites that could make me laugh out loud with words.
One thing I'll never forget is him describing Eva Mendes: "Sheβs a hot naked chick with big tits and dark perfect skin, like a sexy gypsy, casting a spell on my penis."
I'll never forget visiting WWTDD when Brendon was finally, officially gone and just being astounded at how horrific the new writing was. There was some kind of top 10 list about pets or "how you know your dog is mexican" or something horribly douchey like that. What a fucking waste of a great site.
@Reddingwb: He should have never been fired. But now he is leading the way in how to do a show on the net.
Ant is leading the way on doing an internet show now? I was under the impression he was quite late to the party and operating under an antiquated business model of pay to watch entertainment.
His pay model is pretty shitty considering he has ads during the middle of the show, but the show itself is very current, maybe even a bit ahead of the curve. It has a real adult slant to it, no problem showing hardcore porn and having naked bitches in, that's something that doesn't exist elsewhere. Legion of Skanks smoking dope during the show is something you could never imagine on a corporate show either.
I paid for a year sub, I won't be paying anymore though. I think a lot of us felt obligated because we were listening to the show for awhile and not paying for Sirius/XM. We wanted a way to just pay for O&A, that opportunity never presented itself, so we finally got our chance to contribute without supporting that shit company.
He's going to have to switch to a model more like Rogan, or he's going to lose listeners. O&A had the same problem when they were first on XM. You have to pay an extra $2 a month for their very shocking channel "HIGH VOLTAGE," and they constantly complained about it because they didn't have access to new listeners.
I can't imagine that Ant's subscriber base is growing by much, and I hope he's using the initial subscription bump that he got to invest in the podcast long term rather than building it as a growth model.
I got the 6 month subscription but stopped listening with about 2 months to go. It just plain sucks and I loved Anthony before that. They really need a proper producer. Someone who can book guests and knows how get the most out of Ants ability. Staring awkwardly directly into the camera inbetween laughing at youtube clips doesn't make an entertaining podcast when you listen in your car, or at the gym.
They also need a co-host. This is hard to get right, but Ant always worked better playing off of someone else. Laurel and hardy perfected it, straight man/funny man. Also the show would definitely benefit from someone who has slightly opposed poilitical opinions. If we wanted to hear regurgitated fox news we could just listen to fox news.
When the show first started the priority was to get 2 things: a phone screener and paltalk. WHY? The callers add nearly fuck all, and paltalks only use is some way for Ant to trawl for young pussy. Keith may live out his cuckold fantasies vicariously through Anthony, but I'd rather not pay to hear a grown man creep on someone that could be his granddaughter. I think Ant and Keith the cop have really squandered the momentum they got and should probably just reset and start again.
You know what I do about the ads? I skip the first minute into the show then go grab a drink while he does a live read in the middle. It's not a problem and obviously necessary for the show to succeed.
Rogan didn't have a very big following when he started doing his show. He built his audience. Ant has more of a built in audience from O&A than Rogan did from Fear Factor.
The things mentioned in the article that require a subscription are irrelevant thanks to piracy or pointless like online newspaper. The subscription model is antiquated because the moment you put up a paywall there will always be someone to find a way around it.
The article also says that more people are willing to pay premiums for a la carte entertainment providers like Spotify and Hulu. This will be the same when HBO offers their web-only service and frees it'self from cable contracts. This isn't a dying model, it's an emerging one. Most people are tired of seeing ads and are willing to pay a small price to get the content they want online and on demand.
Anthony knows people will see his shit on YouTube and on the best-of podcast HE puts out but he must also know there is more & more people willing do dish out $8 for unlimited access to his content too which is why he doesn't fight it.
For five hours people saw the full conversation thus the likes. So it didn't really blow up in my face. It just means faggots like you late to the party missed out.
Look at your reply the only smarmy dope here is you. Opie is the one trying to cover up what happened by deleting his tweet so you have more of a cry you missed out faggot.
The Redding faggot is enraging. He says people shouldn't listen if they don't like it, while his fucking hero tweets celebs he hates and has interns pouring over Todd Show audio all day...
Of course Corporate Cunt's douchebag superfans step up and defend their god:
Redding β@Reddingwb 2h2 hours ago
@bearsaremean @OpieRadio The people that are pissed that he didnβt leave Sirius are nuts. As a fan your getting more now.
Kevin Shaw β@KevShaw27 2h2 hours ago
@Reddingwb @bearsaremean @OpieRadio O&A fans are fucking babies. Why would anyone listen to a radio show they don't like? It's ok to not.
Slightly undermined by him being angry at Andy Kindler for "saying stuff" about Ant. That's his act. They were jokes. Getting upset over jokes is the same thing no matter the joke's subject.
The only reason you guys hate on Kindler is because he made of fucking anthony. None of you had ever heard of him before he made you all cry, you bunch of crybaby fucks.
Boo-hoo, he made fun of a racist guy who got in trouble for saying racist shit. WAHHHHHHHH.
I'm torn here. On one hand, Opie. On the other hand, I'm not sure I care what some faggoty celebrity gossip site owner has to say. I think it's a wash.

it seems youre right. andy kindler just sent me this
Kindler has under 100,000 followers, is he really popular enough for a bot to randomly track his stuff and put it on Opies "daily".
1 wp9215 2015-03-24
I think it's funnier that you didn't @ mention Kindler. That means he sits around searching his name in twitter.

The full content of Brendon's tweets.
"What the hell Opie? Promoting @AndyKindler , yet again, after all the stuff he said about Ant? Opie, you've basically done every single thing wrong every single day for 6 months.ONA fans pretty much despise you at this point, which is fucking astounding considering that you're O. We should like you.
@RonMorse I'm pretty sure you're right about them just compiling his followers for content, but that means he follows Kindler @RonMorse the whole "funny mofo" thing is awful anyway. its like prepburger for twitter, if Opie had any dignity he'd be embarrassed.

I miss the hell out of Brendan's WWTDD. One of the only websites that could make me laugh out loud with words.
One thing I'll never forget is him describing Eva Mendes: "Sheβs a hot naked chick with big tits and dark perfect skin, like a sexy gypsy, casting a spell on my penis."
4 Cletus_Van_Dam 2015-03-24
I'll never forget visiting WWTDD when Brendon was finally, officially gone and just being astounded at how horrific the new writing was. There was some kind of top 10 list about pets or "how you know your dog is mexican" or something horribly douchey like that. What a fucking waste of a great site.

Ant is leading the way on doing an internet show now? I was under the impression he was quite late to the party and operating under an antiquated business model of pay to watch entertainment.
6 rahtin 2015-03-24
His pay model is pretty shitty considering he has ads during the middle of the show, but the show itself is very current, maybe even a bit ahead of the curve. It has a real adult slant to it, no problem showing hardcore porn and having naked bitches in, that's something that doesn't exist elsewhere. Legion of Skanks smoking dope during the show is something you could never imagine on a corporate show either.
I paid for a year sub, I won't be paying anymore though. I think a lot of us felt obligated because we were listening to the show for awhile and not paying for Sirius/XM. We wanted a way to just pay for O&A, that opportunity never presented itself, so we finally got our chance to contribute without supporting that shit company.
He's going to have to switch to a model more like Rogan, or he's going to lose listeners. O&A had the same problem when they were first on XM. You have to pay an extra $2 a month for their very shocking channel "HIGH VOLTAGE," and they constantly complained about it because they didn't have access to new listeners.
I can't imagine that Ant's subscriber base is growing by much, and I hope he's using the initial subscription bump that he got to invest in the podcast long term rather than building it as a growth model.
2 jags85 2015-03-24
I got the 6 month subscription but stopped listening with about 2 months to go. It just plain sucks and I loved Anthony before that. They really need a proper producer. Someone who can book guests and knows how get the most out of Ants ability. Staring awkwardly directly into the camera inbetween laughing at youtube clips doesn't make an entertaining podcast when you listen in your car, or at the gym.
They also need a co-host. This is hard to get right, but Ant always worked better playing off of someone else. Laurel and hardy perfected it, straight man/funny man. Also the show would definitely benefit from someone who has slightly opposed poilitical opinions. If we wanted to hear regurgitated fox news we could just listen to fox news.
When the show first started the priority was to get 2 things: a phone screener and paltalk. WHY? The callers add nearly fuck all, and paltalks only use is some way for Ant to trawl for young pussy. Keith may live out his cuckold fantasies vicariously through Anthony, but I'd rather not pay to hear a grown man creep on someone that could be his granddaughter. I think Ant and Keith the cop have really squandered the momentum they got and should probably just reset and start again.
1 ChippusMaximus 2015-03-24
You know what I do about the ads? I skip the first minute into the show then go grab a drink while he does a live read in the middle. It's not a problem and obviously necessary for the show to succeed.
4 rahtin 2015-03-24
They're during the show too and he'll interrupt a conversation to do a read.
Already paying a subscription.
1 ChippusMaximus 2015-03-24
Would you rather he ups the sub rate and ends up losing subscribers and eventually going broke with no show?
1 rahtin 2015-03-24
If Rogan can run his show, and Corolla can run a network, both with no subscription, I'm sure Ant can do it.
1 ChippusMaximus 2015-03-24
It'd be cool if he got to that point. Think of it as us investing in our radio hero.
1 ChippusMaximus 2015-03-24
They both have more money than Ant as well as a larger following. Don't be such a jew.
1 rahtin 2015-03-24
Rogan didn't have a very big following when he started doing his show. He built his audience. Ant has more of a built in audience from O&A than Rogan did from Fear Factor.
1 KnickedUp 2015-03-24
don't ruin their fun.
1 ThePittWolf 2015-03-24
Internet subscription models are not antiquated
2 K1bbler 2015-03-24
The things mentioned in the article that require a subscription are irrelevant thanks to piracy or pointless like online newspaper. The subscription model is antiquated because the moment you put up a paywall there will always be someone to find a way around it.
1 ThePittWolf 2015-03-24
The article also says that more people are willing to pay premiums for a la carte entertainment providers like Spotify and Hulu. This will be the same when HBO offers their web-only service and frees it'self from cable contracts. This isn't a dying model, it's an emerging one. Most people are tired of seeing ads and are willing to pay a small price to get the content they want online and on demand.
Anthony knows people will see his shit on YouTube and on the best-of podcast HE puts out but he must also know there is more & more people willing do dish out $8 for unlimited access to his content too which is why he doesn't fight it.
2 K1bbler 2015-03-24
It only seems like it's emerging because it has taken this long to finally work out an alternative to piracy that can generate revenue.
11 K1bbler 2015-03-24
Also you could have posted the entire tirade at Opie instead of just part of it.
6 WilliamTellAll 2015-03-24
that page doesn't exist anymore. nothing like a smarmy reply that blows up in your face.
0 K1bbler 2015-03-24
For five hours people saw the full conversation thus the likes. So it didn't really blow up in my face. It just means faggots like you late to the party missed out.
4 WilliamTellAll 2015-03-24
said the smarmy dope who doesnt understand how to take a screencap.
5 hours? whoa, what a man of internet longevity!
-1 K1bbler 2015-03-24
Look at your reply the only smarmy dope here is you. Opie is the one trying to cover up what happened by deleting his tweet so you have more of a cry you missed out faggot.
10 KenFrezno 2015-03-24
I didn't read his twitter message. Wa happen? Some guy who cut contact with us years ago? Aaaanother hater who couldn't make it maaan.
10 michaelcolestie 2015-03-24
His world is collapsing. Id be surprised if this shit show lasts through April
6 ONAFan2014 2015-03-24
Hampton's Howie's show's been dropping in quality since 2010, and he's still on. He's just as bad.
1 ucfgavin 2015-03-24
His world isn't collapsing, Brenon is just another hater, duh.
8 lickitoff 2015-03-24
Shitty thing is...Mantits will only address that Mofos ISN'T him, but something that is set up and tweeted automatically.
You can see the change in tone in Brendon's tweets when it's pointed out to him. He's like..Well, it's still douchey anyway.
If Mantits even talks about it....it will just be how Brendon fucked up cause he doesn't actually post mofos himself.
2 Wsallgood 2015-03-24
He acts as if Funny Mofos is like fucking Skynet. It's become aware and cannot be stopped.

Opie and Fez should do a show together

Over/Under on Opie calling him a "Hater"?
4 -Palaver 2015-03-24
Yet another person i find funny and smart vocalizes his hatred of the Opster. This is so fun to watch.
4 Anonox 2015-03-24
I liked him on Wwtd. Lex isn't as good of a writer.
4 clay-davis 2015-03-24
Love the Opie defender trashing Big Bang Theory. What a brave and edgy stance to take. Just like his hero.
2 DuckSpeaker_ 2015-03-24
His twitter bio is succinct tho.

1 Wsallgood 2015-03-24
Opie would use his jokes off instant feedback for years. I guess he feels some sense of obligation. Dolt.
4 TruckerLarryMustDie 2015-03-24
Brendon were you really dating that super hot asian girl? She was incredible. If you were, please post some naked pics here. Thanks in advance.

The Redding faggot is enraging. He says people shouldn't listen if they don't like it, while his fucking hero tweets celebs he hates and has interns pouring over Todd Show audio all day...
-1 ONAFan2014 2015-03-24
Of course Corporate Cunt's douchebag superfans step up and defend their god:
Redding β@Reddingwb 2h2 hours ago @bearsaremean @OpieRadio The people that are pissed that he didnβt leave Sirius are nuts. As a fan your getting more now.
Kevin Shaw β@KevShaw27 2h2 hours ago @Reddingwb @bearsaremean @OpieRadio O&A fans are fucking babies. Why would anyone listen to a radio show they don't like? It's ok to not.
9 schmoegreene 2015-03-24
Stop trying to make Corporate Cunt happen. It's not going to happen.
2 blackirishlad 2015-03-24
it's been going on so long that I kind of feel like adopting it now just to infuriate people
-2 PigsArePunished 2015-03-24
Slightly undermined by him being angry at Andy Kindler for "saying stuff" about Ant. That's his act. They were jokes. Getting upset over jokes is the same thing no matter the joke's subject.
-16 Bick_Bickerson 2015-03-24
True that. Also, Andy Kindler is actually pretty funny.
14 Slippery_Slope_Guy 2015-03-24
Andy Kindler is not funny at all.
-15 Bick_Bickerson 2015-03-24
Yes he is.

You should be beheaded.

11 VeritablyClean 2015-03-24
Ah, now I can see why you like kindler
-6 Bick_Bickerson 2015-03-24
The only reason you guys hate on Kindler is because he made of fucking anthony. None of you had ever heard of him before he made you all cry, you bunch of crybaby fucks.
Boo-hoo, he made fun of a racist guy who got in trouble for saying racist shit. WAHHHHHHHH.

Judging from his twitter feed he's a meathead UFC nuthugger. He is no Gavin McInnes that's for sure.
