The Schumes...

32  2015-12-16 by Mikeyuvm

So, I've been floating around here for awhile but have never posted because I have never fostered the same hatred of the Opster as the rest of you sweet boys; but since the Jimmy fight, he's really gone down a few notches in my book (excuse the salty language).

I think it's reaching a head - I don't have the clip - but Mark Normand is in studio right now and sarcastically referred to Amy Schumer as "The Schumes." Tits has now used "The Schumes" 3 times without a hint of sarcasm trying to be one of the cool guys.

This guy/gal is maybe one of the worst radio personalities I've ever heard, and maybe one of the worst people. I am slowly slipping into hatred and am only enjoying the show because I get to listen to Jimmy biting his tongue every time that stupid torpid sloth opens his mouth.

The worst part is that he thinks he is doing a good job. He honestly believes that he could be doing this show without Jim Norton. He thinks when he says things like "I just think all politicians are full of shit", that he is making an original insightful comment. You can't convince people like Opie that he sounds like an obnoxious boob, because they simply can't see it. Idiotic frat boys are never self-aware.

That's what I started noticing. He literally says things that no one can respond to because they're just empty, vapid statements. He's not funny and he's not insightful.

"I just think all politicians are full of shit",

preceded with:

ME: To be honest with ya...

...and followed by...

ME: ...Right, [guest's first-name & last-name]?

I've always enjoyed her saying:

" exactly/damn it I was just thinking that/I was right there with you "

And repeating what someone else has just said out loud but using different words:

Someone else:

" [ whatever it is] happened in 1998 "

Opie:

" that's seventeen years ago! "

Ffffffffffffuuuuuuuckkk SEVENTEEN years?! Erock what year was the Marilyn manson? I was all in with the Manson. .

Let's break this down. You gotta borrow the "1" from 2015 to get seven, and I went to work on 9/11/2001 to give the little people a fresh perspective, so hold on hold on, let me pull up my calculator app.

You don't think that's a helpful addition to a conversation?

He does that because he read "radio for dummies" and it suggested engaging the guest more. It also suggests asking the guests "where they're at" with household items like ketchup and onion rings.

We're two guys....

The thing of it is is that she could do the show without Jim. I mean what would be different? It doesn't seem as though management cares overly about Jim being there or not.

Opie is a brand. The brand is identifiable as a radio ' thing ' and is useful to help market the company. The fact that she's utter shit stains doesn't even matter. It's enraging but it seems to be true. She's at the ass end of her time in the spotlight and she's just gliding now until she lands softly and then she'll quietly slip away without anyone giving a fuck. We'll be the only ones talking about it; slapping each other on the back and sucking our pekkas.

I only listen when you lot point out another stupid thing she's said or done and I imagine many of you are the same.

Edit: changed the he's to she's.

He's actually the 8 year old on the playground that acts like the people he wants to hang around with. Desperate shit.

In a perfect world Opie would have cancer of the testicles, brain, and lungs.

Breast.

Tongue

I dare say she's had the brain cancer for a number of years already.

I agree. The Jimmy fight was a complete turning point for me with Opie. What I find fascinating is how he is now such a mumble mouth and is virtually stammering with every sentence he utters, punctuating every third word with a "you know" as he tries to figure out where he's going. Virtually everyone else in the studio at any given time has a better radio presentation than Opie these days.

But when I go back and listen to clips from just a couple of years ago before Anthony's firing, Opie speaks much much better and with more confidence without the stammering, the you knows and the constant uh's. Seems Anthony made Opie better on the radio in every sense of the words, including the ability to speak at all.

Remember that opie rarely ever interacted with somebody in studio until it became his own show. He just stared and blanked out what the funny people were doing while he rehearsed his next line like "Hey let's go to BLANK because he's got some dirt on.."

What you're seeing in the form of a speech impediment is actually his mouth being connected to his brain in real time and the lack of bandwidth available to him. Instead of spurting of a few precooked Raqio bites he gets caught so off guard when people actually engage him that he can't deal.

Hahaha.....apt analysis.

It's the verbal equivalent of a dim 4-year-old with a too-big football helmet or bucket on his head, constantly walking into walls.

Based solely on how he talks on the radio, it's just about where the state could theoretically step in and relieve him of his parenting duties.

Love The Schumes.

Are you not all in with The Schumes?

I do not wish to upset the jew conspiracy

I'm all in with that sexpot vixen

I just wanted to get a little taste of the schumes but I don't like gravy.

Him saying the Schooms was the final thing that made me hate that crackhead...

This was actually something that pissed me off about opie before the breakup. He would steal other people's barely used catch phrase and run it into the ground. Linger longer was a small part of an ant bit, Ant was the one who used to say all in, Jimmy started the stupid bluebrries thing, etc. If opie is using a catch phrase, it's because someone else did it first.

He did the same thing when Seth Rogen was in studio and referred to James Franco by his last name. To be fair though, he might not have been doing it to be cool, it is possible he is just a mongoloid and forgot that was his last name.

You were floating around... are you a turd or sumptin?

double wipes cawksuckah

I wish he would do shrooms and leap off a building

This isn't jeopardy, chip

He has become Todd...

At least Todd owns his shit radio. Todd is harmless because he's not punching down - he's just there, I just choose not to listen to him. Opie is like a train wreck that I can't take my eyes off of.

Todd actually has way more talent than Tits.

Might be stretching this sub's reach a little bit here, but is there any way we could organise a nuclear strike?

How about drones and some dynamite?

i like how Normand doesn't even act like he cares when Ope says he wants to bring his podcast to the channel.

Yes, this.

Mark is an up and coming comedian, he's going to get exposure anywhere they'll have him. He has no loyalty - the only advantage of going on O & J is getting exposure to Jim who, despite what this sub says and what he might say about himself, is a successful comic. Opster is just a fringe "benefit"

It exposure to probably 20-30K people or so on a good morning. Not terrible publicity. But Opie is not really a destination any of these guys want to be at permanently...unless its taking over Jimmy's spot for 200K per year. They would all be knocking at the door for that.

Its amazing how he has zero self awareness. He truly believes he is a talent and listeners are interested in what he has to say. Amaaaaazing............

If you've been listening for any real length of time you should have hated opie alot sooner.

OP is the worst.

I am slowly slipping into hatred

You must become one with the hatred if you are to destroy the hater-fighters.

There's no way this could be true
