How Opie will approach this recent situation from his perspective on tomorrow's O&J show

11  2015-04-06 by [deleted]

1) There will not be a single point brought up that Ant discussed on his show. Not a single one, other than in reference to the "hate."

2) Opie will immediately jump onto Ant's republican point of view and harp on the race angle. He will, most likely, make up situations in which people "behind the scenes" complained about Anthony's race discussions, and how he never wanted to touch it because hes not a "hate" kind of guy. He will reach out to the rest of the staff for very brief statements looking for agreement, in which the staff will say "Yeah, I disagree politically with many things Ant say..." but will then be cut off and revert directly back to Opie's ranting.

3) It will be brought up over and over again how Anthony has deeper issues that he has to deal with. He will talk about Ant's "blowups" in the same light as his, implying they are the same when they are not. Something along the lines of the Obama election will be equated to the years of instability and ego-driven maniacal behavior Opie puts forth. Again, Opie will not discuss any problems involved with himself, at all.

4) Opie will bring up times in which Anthony made mistakes, such as missing the show because he stayed out too late the night before. Once again, it will all be focused on Anthony and the brief annoyances he caused, never once referring to any of the criticisms Anthony or the fans have discussed for years now. He will make these issues seem much larger than they actually were, often referring how he had to fight for him vs management.

5) Jimmy and the staff will not jump in with any significance, either through keeping their mouth shut because they know the reaction it will receive from Titszilla, or to abstain themselves from the argument all together because its a lose-lose situation.

6) Opie will state he was the only one willing to make a decision, implying Anthony was not fit to put himself in uncomfortable situations and someone has to "wear the pants in the relationship." He will most likely use this angle in an attempt to justify some of the actions he made during their time working together.

7) He will shift the blame to Anthony putting him and Jimmy in a tough spot through the photo taking incident. He will, once again, lie/exaggerate and imply there was a lot more to that situation than there was, once again playing on the heavy racism angle in relation to Anthony.

8) Just to drive forth this point home, there will not be a single aspect of the show Anthony put out that will be discussed. He will not talk about his irrational anger, he will not speak about the uncomfortable situations he put the guests/staff in with his inability to take a joke, he will not discuss any fault in the way he treats people, he will simply grasp for straws at the small annoyances Anthony causes that almost all people have.

How confident am I in these points coming up? About 95%. I'm not some brilliant man, I just understand how illogical, over emotional, and ego-driven individuals approach arguments when they do not have a leg to stand on.

Not a complete ass, maybe 95%

Not sure, He might force every staff member to come in studio and say on air that the work environment Ant described doesn't exist and then follow it by SEE! YOU THINK I DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING? HATERS MAN I GOTTA TELL YA!

I think you're pretty spot on there. The interesting thing will be to see who steps forward on the O&J side of things to dish on Ant. I mean, he's human garbage after all. I'm sure Opie can find one person in that studio that will agree with him, right?

Oh he will definitely throw him under the bus using the race and politics angle. That's the easy out. What he forgets is that he's not broadcasting for Gawker or some SJW shit that people will eat up without question. Fans tuned in to hear him talk about race and know his track record. Classic bits are based around it. We don't give a shit. We know what he believes in.

Honestly, unless he somehow is able to pressure the whole staff into contradicting Ant in a believable manner, this is just going to blow up in his face and the few listeners that stayed after Ant left and were kind of on the fence will probably have had enough. The show is much worse since Anthony left, it has no structure, there have been no really classic or memorable moments, and now Ope has a nuclear bomb to justify after insulting Ant which he always claimed he had no ill will towards. I can't see him weaseling out of this one with any sort of pride or viable justification. He will just cherry pick the arguments he thinks are weaker and go for that while smearing Ant.
