The sub was funniest back right when Ant started talking about it because he had to because he was reading it so much. That was when Ant first joined in, when the Bam pic went up on Opie's site so he shut it down, then passive aggression went out of control. That was my favorite time.
I guess you didn't know that much, much worse has happened on Stern. Physical altercations, insane yelling.....this "fight" wasn't even a fight, more like a disagreement. Not even any yelling.
Maybe this is crazy to O&A fans...(I found it interesting because there's drama but you're blowing it way way out of proportion lol)
No it doesn't. First of all, no one was yelling. Secondly, heated argument should cover the whole threatening-to-quite thing. That's what made the argument heated. A meltdown requires actual screaming, throwing shit, vicious personal insults, etc. How civil are you that you consider this to be a meltdown?
In real life, no this is nowhere near a meltdown. From an on air show perspective, it very much is. There is not much holding the show together to begin with and to publicly state that it's critics are right and it has been a failure is pretty significant.
At the height of Opie and Anthony I doubt they ever had over 200k people listening. This isn't going down in history. No one outside of this sub gives a fuck.
Unless you are familiar with the show the argument wont mean anything. Basically, the guy who looks like a slug is arguing with the guy with tits, because the guy with tits isnt talented, and hasnt been able to hold the show together since the the guy who looks like a sicilian pimp got fired for hating on the people who look like coal miners after a shift. Tits is being backed into a corner because hes being attacked on all sides, and isnt smart/ rational enough to not fuck with the only good thing in his career (the slug guy).
The downfall of radio's greatest duo began probably at the time Patrice died in 2011. Everything since then has just been piling on and every so often the tension breaks. I have no doubt it will build up again and break again one last time.
Opie vs Anthony on air fight was in 2009, where Opie talked about splitting the show up (among other cunty things). I'd venture that things were shitty before then.
I remember the evolution of this sub happened so fucking quick. I've never seen anything like it. This sub used to be about posting about the O & A show and favorite clips. When the fuck was the last time a classic clip popular? Since Ant's firing, I've read some of the funniest, most malicious shit ever.
We should be used as an example by motivational speakers worldwide. We fail sometimes but we never give up, we never get disheartened, we never allow our flames of hatred be diminished, we just keep going, and we get results.
I think Opie's general personality destroyed the show. A sensitive, unfunny, mean-spirited, entitled, hypocritical, passive aggressive, argues like a woman, unappreciative, big titted blonde ruined his own creation.
Are you Opie? So this is the fans fault? Not the 50yr old delusional radio host who has completely pulled a 180 on EVERYTHING HE CLAIMED WHEN ANT INITIALLY GOT FIRED?? Oh and lets not forget blaming and holding massive resentment towards Jimmy for not caressing his supple mahhhhnnntits while he cried on-air 8months ago??? Lastly if you dont buy into any of that, which would be completely nuts , how do you not see Opie purposely sabotaged bits Jimmy was trying to perform on radio out of his "Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" sickness and how that in itself is enough to ruin the show. I could go on but somehow I doubt you care.
More than likely. Will blow it off as letting some steam go that was building up, they actually love each other and consider themselves good friends. Jim sings on for another year. I hate to being predictable.
It just feels satisfying right now. But we must not give up now! No, not until our sweet little boy Jimmy Norton is freed from the torpid sloth monster Opie!

Opie has been running on fumes ever since Ant left anyways. He's not a good person and his douche shows more and more everyday.

You are exaggerating. A heated argument is not a meltdown.
12 Patricki 2015-12-01
The cohost is yelling that he's quitting on air. The former co-host is (sort-of) ripping him apart. I think it qualifies as a meltdown.
