Opie's breakdown today wasn't about Ant. It was about You! All of You!
74 2015-04-08 by youdonotnome
I said this in a comment earlier but it'll probably get buried.
I'm seeing a lot of posts about Opie crying, but it's all about Ant's vindication.
I'm surprised you guys aren't taking the credit you deserve.
He's obviously sad and angry about Ant's show last night. But never believe that he doesn't read this sub or his Twitter responses.
Nobody could bear the level of abuse, degradation and bullying opie has received online. And I think that was a much stronger factor in his breakdown today.
I don't think it's undeserved. He's a narcissistic loud mouth bully that treated his fans and listeners like human gahbidge
Listening to a broadcasting juggernaut reduced to a babbling sobbing school girl, at the hands of YOU GUYS, really makes me appreciate the power of the Internet.
Congrats guys, you finally broke him. With a little help from Ant of course
P.S. got a few messages claiming i am circle jerking reddit, or i am delusional for thinking that social media affects him. just to clarify, i wasn't specifically talking about this subreddit, he get's harassed from all angles and it's exactly what he's talking about here.

But he ignores the haters. Dismisses the fans that have passed him by. To me, the crying was more about a realization that Ant didn't look up to him like a huge fuckin' Christ figure and after all these years, someone with a voice made his assinine tactics known.

if he ignored the haters, would 'the haters' be one of his catchphrases?

He's like that schoolyard bully pushing kids down and taking lunch money until that little fat kid finally punches him in the nose and he runs crying to the teacher and hiding in the bathroom sobbing
2 Dannyprecise 2015-04-08
No, the crying was a narcissist's attempt to garner sympathy.
1 ShitiotIncorporated 2015-04-08
Hasn't Opie said before that much of the hate comes from Reddit? How would he know if he doesn't look?
22 adamtensta3 2015-04-08
Your not wrong. He brought up about getting his family involved. Which was a clear Bam reference.
If that is the case, I feel slightly bad that I chuckled at those bam jokes that helped effeminate a grown man so much.
12 sorendjierkinhaard 2015-04-08
I always thought that was over the line but I can see why some people think it's fair game.
17 Muted_Post-Horn 2015-04-08
(Vos) here's the thing... of all the shit Greggopie Hughes has pulled, he has never to my knowledge gone after someone's famil, besides Stern's daughter and her vaginAAaaAA (and I mean come on).
Lynsi's a pretty girl. She's probably had quite the list before the Opster. Maybe she really did have sex with Bam before Gregg, who knows. The stuff about him being a cuckold probably isn't true, but it's enough to make him deeply insecure. So, idk, I never REALLY went in for the Bam stuff.
11 delphian1 2015-04-08
The Bam stuff is/was pretty rough.
To be honest I never saw it as necessary because there was so much other real honest shit that we all saw every day on the show. We could call him out on his character and his narcissism and his deflections and contradictions.
The Bam shit seemed to be really stepping over the line and because it most likely wasn't true at all, it muddles the other stuff when presented to him. Probably makes it easier for him, in his own mind, to say it's ALL BS.
8 sorendjierkinhaard 2015-04-08
True. Most people don't marry virgins. As Ant said tonight, Opie has done very well for himself. I think it's fucked up to insult his family but the show used to do shit like that, so I can't begrudge others.
5 schmoegreene 2015-04-08
The reason I think that stuff is fair game is that Opie brought it up on the air and ranted and raved about it like a dummy. None of us would have ever heard that stupid rumor if the Opster hadn't gone on an ego-maniacal rant about how "MY CHICK DOESN'T DESERVE THIS SHIT!"
It's a comedy show, and if you're going to bring up your wife allegedly sleeping with one of the guys from Jackass, you should be prepared for a teasing.
10 insanemetal187 2015-04-08
Teasing her is one thing. Attacking his girl is just a dick move. I never got why this sub turned on her. There's a long list of reasons to shit on Opie, no reason to take shots at innocent bystanders. They also aren't attempts at jokes, they're meant to hurt.
-1 schmoegreene 2015-04-08
Yeah fair enough. I've never sent anything to Opie but I will make the occasional wisecrack on here. All in good fun if you're reading this, Gregory.

3 Flamgirlant 2015-04-08
In early 2005, someone Opie used to work alongside in radio backed over their dog and killed him in their driveway. Opie forced the show to focus on that for fucking days. They had song parodies that they played on air, they all joked about it constantly, they had callbacks weeks and months later. I can upload clips if necessary. They made fun of the guy for being sad, they made fun of the guy's wife for publicly explaining her sorrow. I still don't even know what that person did to piss Opie off. He never explained it. The only thing I can assume is that it was someone who had an issue with O&a going onto satellite. But again, I don't know, because he never told us.
I can't even remember the guy's name, but I'm thinking it might have been Mike. This is just one of many examples, but the point is, Opie was happy to go outside of any sort of assumed "rules" by trashing pretty much anything that came his way. I'm actually 100% with you. I don't trash Opie for the Bam shit. Though I actually think it can be pretty hilarious and I would never actively try to put a stop to it. There's plenty to bash Opie for, but I don't see any reason to go after his family. But Opie did not follow those same rules. Throughout his career, he was happy to take low blows at anyone he had beef with.
2 loabaron 2015-04-08
I never really understood the logic of "this guy takes low blows, so let's hit him with some low blows to show how we are better than him". There's plenty of other shit he can be called out on.
1 Muted_Post-Horn 2015-04-08
Hmm, well, I hadn't heard of the debacle you're describing. I get your point, and it sounds like we agree. Still don't see why people have to drag Lynsi into this. Or, shit, when Hudson grows up and starts hearing clips about how his mother is a cheating whore?
Although I did get a hearty snicker out of someone describing how Bam "kickflipped her pussy".
2 ChippusMaximus 2015-04-08
I read everything you said in a slobbery accent.

1 Muted_Post-Horn 2015-04-08
Oh, of course. Stern's daughter is fair game, that's what I'm saying.
0 Buttpudding 2015-04-08
It is Opie's own fault. He is the one that attacked Stern's daughter when she is obviously a civilian (douche chills). Opie shat where he ate, and now his wife gets to get mocked relentlessly because of it.
Don't fucking give it if you can't take it.

Bullshit. Stern's daughter was a performer. A shitty one, but a performer nonetheless. That makes her a public figure.

Are you all Latin scholars all of the sudden? Are we all Opies that admit no wrong? Somebody tell him the word is "emasculate" and the Bam jokes ARE childish even though it's funny that they bother the Opester.
3 poopstainmcgoo 2015-04-08
I thought the same thing. In all honesty the constant "Bam fathered your kids" and cuckold references are a bit rough.
20 nazereth1 2015-04-08
If he had only gone on TACS....
9 TriangleDimes 2015-04-08
If anything, this recent shitstorm confirmed everything everyone said here.
He never liked Ant, and he never, ever intended on going on TACS. All the shit he said on Twitter concerning schedules and plans was a lie. This is the ultimate thing that buries him: he's either lying now, or he was lying then. He has to admit to being a liar at some point, it's inescapable.
1 sonofarex 2015-04-08
It's not his fault, he just didn't know how to talk to the guy

Well that's not nice. Why can't we remember the good times? Oh I just remembered, Tuesday's show.
8 i_saw_nothing 2015-04-08
I just don't like that Opie refers to any criticism of him as "haters". And this reason is two-fold:
1) Sometimes you're just doing awful shit that needs to be criticized and brought to your attention so you can fine tune and adjust it.
2) Nobody over the age of 22 should be using the term "hater" outside of someone doing a bad impression of a southern accent talking about a radiator.
I actually liked Opie on O&A, and was one of those guys who respected his role as a "ship steerer" and a talent herder. He was damned good at it. Between Opie & Anthony & Jim, somebody of the three of them had either a passing interest in the guest or the topic at hand and a little familiarity so they could volley an interview between the three of them and the guest and keep it interesting.
Opie, in this new role as the lead talent, is mostly horrible in a one-on-one interview because he doesn't do any prep for a guest outside of glancing at the one-sheet that an intern threw in front of him an hour earlier of shit grabbed from the Internet.
Jimmy can't run an interview because he avoids pop culture and spends every waking hour at the Comedy Cellar outside of taking a couple hours to glance through whatever biography a guest is coming in to promote.
That said, Opie did really well today with Mike Rowe, a friend of the show for several years and someone who can pull off, in his own vernacular, a legitimate "hang". And while that happened, Jim said nothing and probably spent the entire show scrolling through twitter or reading reddit, and shows that there's no fucking chemistry between these guys.
This went longer than I thought. I've wanted to just gripe about these little nuances for the longest time. But I realize, I'm probably just a hater.

EVERYBODY would have watched that if it were about them! Even if they didn't want to. Still a fucking liar!
1 TheBarbed1 2015-04-08
I'd agree except going back through the archives Ronnie B said on Ant's Christmas Eve show (perhaps in jest) that Opie told him he didn't listen to hypnotized Fez doing Opster, only that he hashtagged it and said it was one in the win column for Fezzie.
Maybe he's truly incapable of listening to himself getting what he has coming to him.
5 Moxson4 2015-04-08
I haven't listened to Tuesday's O&A yet, but did Opie really resort to playing the crying victim as a desperate move to get one Ant fan to feel sorry for him?
5 xJaysusx 2015-04-08
All I fucking heard was "Period." "To be honest with ya..." "Let's get a beer." "Let's get dinner." sniff "Literally"

It's not about the bullying he received, it's about the fact that his web of lies was torn apart. People can handle bullying, but they can't handle their delusions being proven wrong.

He kept asking people to chime in the whole show, but failed to ask anyone if this was anywhere near true.

The minute he said that you could almost hear people's brains basking in the room from internal screaming. Everyone simultaneously thinking "did this faggot really just say that?!"

2 Akahorsekiller 2015-04-08
Go ahead and down vote me but this shit is just getting sad. Is Opie not funny? Yes. Is Opie a self centered, egotistical, ass? Yes. Does Opie have big delicious tits? Yes! But he was also half of the equation that brought us a show that gave us YEARS of enjoyment, O&A have absolutely helped me get through tough times by being a consistent escape, it was something I looked forward to everyday.
The show is over, the last nail has been struck in the coffin. Let it go. It was fun bashing Opie for a while but after listening to him today it's clear he isn't happy where things have gone either, I mean the guy legitimately cried on air for god's sake (and yes, he was talking about himself a lot today, what the fuck else was he going to talk about!?). Being a pest used to be a fun way to connect with other listeners and support O&A but its just become 'hahaha I made the sloth cry'.

Are you guys fucking* serious? How is making risque jokes on an obscure subreddit "going after his family?". Its not like any of us have personally contacted her. You make it sound like we are mobsters who are cutting off someone's wife's ear to extract money from him.
besides who cares if his wife had sex with Bam Margera. isn't it expected that your wife is going to have had sex before you met her, usually? And its not even true so who cares?
IMO, the stuff about his tits for the harshest but still hilarious.

Hahahahaha. Listen I get the joy you guys are having in all of this going down but to actually give yourself credit for that, common. Why hasn't he been crying the past several months that this has been going on? As much as each guy clearly resented the other towards the end they spent 20 years together. To think that it was you assholes mocking up another tits photo and not the person you spent pretty much your entire career with shitting all over you is what finally got to him is just pretty fucking sad. You guys served your purpose as a great source of jokes for Anthony's battle but what next? Do you move onto the Tacs subreddit and start giving Keith shit for not really bringing anything new to the show and just continuing the rotation of some comedian people are semi familiar with and/or some pornstar no one is familiar with. Or do you continue bashing Opie and his attempt to not do morning radio but instead host a boring late night talk show at 6 AM while attempting to turn a really funny personality into nothing more than a sidekick.
1 loabaron 2015-04-08
He hasn't been crying for all this time because he has a personality disorder, and it is only now he is in a corner that he feels crying will benefit him.

Listeners are happy, but Opie is making us hate Opie. This ordeal started with Fez doing one joke(as an appropriate response). Opie brought this on himself by being butthurt and going off for 30 minutes about one joke. Ant became collateral and then decided to finally say something.

1 majin_babidi 2015-04-08
Opie said during the Maxwell debacle that when you say you haven't heard/seen something, you most certainly did see or listen to something. After mocking Maxwell for that sort of comment, he admitted to doing the same thing with Howard.
So when Opie says he ignores the haters, you can safely guess he is not ignoring them at all and probably reads this subreddit regularly.

There's plenty to bash Opie for, but I don't see any reason to go after his family. But Opie did not follow those same rules. Throughout his career, he was happy to take low blows at anyone he had beef with.

I read everything you said in a slobbery accent.

I don't think he had the social ability to go on tacs (as in covering lies)

Bam is just gross and everyone knows it, if she slept with Bam you know she is a low life skanky.
