It's so weird. He doesn't watch movies, or tv. Listen to music. Always talks about it loosely, like that friend who never saw the movie over the weekend but didn't want to look like a faggot would. But what does he do with all of his free time?
Great point, WHAT THE FUCK DOES HE DO!? He doesnt drink really, isnt a workout guy, works 4 hours a day with commute, he doesnt even see newspaper headlines, he ingests zero news in any format - while his job relies primarily on commenting about the news. This week he had no idea that the presidential primary was coming to New York soon, his home state, despite talking about the election constantly.
The only logical explanation is that Lynsi has him jumping through all sorts of hoops that he doesn't admit to, out of fear of losing street cred he doesn't have: lots of stuff with the kids and her side of the family, dragging him shopping, etc.
That's a compelling explanation. You think maybe she's more like a guy than he is? Maybe she is watching 60 Days In while Opie is crying that he's missing the Kardashians?
He seems to enjoy waking around NYC and during the warmer months he bikes around central park but outside of that I've never heard him talk about hobbies or anything. Like he doesn't geek out at all on something. I figured everyone had some kind of hobby they obsess over during their free time but not Opie.
Practices his fake radio laugh, dwells on radio business crap nobody else cares about, tries to figure out and master the new phenomenon the kids call "viral videos"
I always wonder this as well. Considering a huge part of his job is to confer with celebrities that make up pop culture he sure has a complete lack of knowledge of that pop culture. There wouldn't be anything wrong with that if he were an expert in something, but he isn't.
I've wondered that way too many times. I can't picture him even talking to his wife or kids. I can't picture him doing ANYTHING. Very weird. I know him and his wife and Rich and Bonnie hang out. I can't see how Bonnie can stand that. I guess Lynsi is pretty funny tho. There's no way in hell Lynsi fucks him anymore. No fucking way...
I was just listening to this clip where Ope, Patrice, and Jim are talking about the best cries in movies. During the conversation Opie is reading off some stuff from Instant Feedback per usual and goes "Fredo in The Godfather of course" as if it were obvious that he had a big crying scene in that movie. But Jim and Patrice, who have both seen that movie numerous times, didn't really know what scene he was talking about, and instead of explaining the scene that of course was a great crying scene, he stammers and tries to get the person who wrote it to elaborate.
It's just tiny inconsequential things like that that really show how much of a pathological liar he is.
that scene was in the Godfather II, when Michael confronts Fredo about ratting before sending him out "fishing". Jimmy probably never saw this movie at all, because Brando wasn't in it.
When asked if he ever saw "The Room," Opie claimed "he might've seen half of it or something one day." Even though he quoted it along with Sam & Ant every time, like he knew where it was from.
That one drove me more crazy than anything. How the fuck do you watch half of The Room?? Plus what is it, 80 minutes?
That's one of the best behind the scenes books I've ever read, and I LIVE for that shit. I got it as soon as it came out, and I read it in a week, I couldn't put it down. I was like "They have Ed Wood 2 here," I couldn't believe what a great movie it would make. I think Franco snatched up the rights within a year, good for those guys. I can't wait for the movie. The book made me laugh until I had tears in my eyes, it was one of the funniest books Ive ever read.
I love that book, but you can really hear Tom Bissell's (the ghost writer's) voice all over it. I mean Greg Sestero (Mark from The Room) didn't write all that sharp, eloquent prose. Sestero does do a pretty good job on the narration (his Tommy impression is spot-on), but sometimes his line reads are awkward because, again, he didn't write those lines, and he doesn't talk like that.
I've listened to this audiobook way too many times on treadmills.
I do have my doubts about Greg's intentions with Tommy however. Sure, he made it clear that Tommy having money and giving him a place to live in LA probably made him tolerate Tommy more than he would have otherwise and he also had a lot of incentive to do The Room because of the inordinate amount of money he received for it, but I think he was aware of Tommy's wealth from the get go and that's pretty much the only reason he ever got involved with him.....not this "the boy nobody liked except for me" narrative he went with. Just a theory.
That is so profoundly idiotic and wrong that it should be in the dictionary as an example of the word "incorrect". It's almost stunning how beautifully crafted it is as a stupid, stupid thing to say.
This is completely understandable when you realize it was said by a guy who has been in radio his entire life yet knows less about popular music than anyone on staff or the show's guests.
Totally. I just posted a plug for a podcast I've been enjoying. I've heard one episode of OpieRadio in the last two months, I used to listen to O&A every day.
He's a middle class kid who hit the lottery. Then he got jealous of the lottery because the lottery was more talented than him. Now the lottery just hits young girls and drinks, mostly.
I have a friend who's super talented, but he just can't stop staying stupid shit, and he can't figure out how to show up to work on time. I wish he could be more like Opie. It's amazing how the little things, like showing up on time, make all the difference in the world.
If ever there was evidence that talent overrated. Can somebody explain to me Opie? For the life of me I cannot figure out how he is possible. How has this oaf managed to survive post O&A?
Jimmy brings the fans, tits takes the credit with the little tricks Wease taught him like talking unnecessarily all the time. If a bunch of comics get on a roll and he hasn't talked in a few minutes, he brings everything to a screeching halt so he can be heard babbling if management happens to listen in for 10 seconds. When he goes to negotiations he knows they won't see him as the wallflower board-op he deserves to be because his awful voice takes up around 50% of every show.
Or when it turned out that Tyler Durden was just a guy who founded Project Mayhem, owned a shitty house on Paper Street, and made soap in his spare time.
He's a confused man. He can't connect with ANY human on any level. No one ever knows what he's talking about and he doesn't understand why other people have friends and he doesn't. Good thing he has money, or else he'd just be another crazy fuck on the street corner yelling about some nonsense.
they carried on talking about it and how he was dead and opie just went with it. Perhaps he mispoke but he's been doing radio since he was 18 so thats doubtful right?
He also claims that the song Hello by Adele is about her talking to her younger self. Like he's the only person on earth who figured that out and everyone else is wrong to think she's talking about an ex who's heart she broke.

2 TobyTheRobot 2016-04-08
May well be. I always wondered if they did any gay stuff; I mean the book straight-up implies that Tommy propositioned him.
Imagine being at a place in your life where you suck Tommy Rousseau's assuredly onion-smelling cock and then act for him in The Room.
