Do you guys think Opie is lying? His story doesn't sound like it's true at all

nO

Opie says initially the he punched the guy, and he GAVE HIM HIS MONEY BACK. But as this lie continues, he conflates Ant's dart story into his own dart story...or was it basket-balls? Mmmm...not too sure of the facts on this one. Loved the unnecessary details about his girlfriend having been in an accident...on crutches no less. What a great date...let's go to a street-festival where you have to fucking WALK everywhere while my girlfriend's on crutches from an injury that had her recuperating for nearly a year. She had broken BOTH legs, and she's "crutchin' along". Yeah, let's throw some hoops. It must be true because Opie said "It's a true story...".

Ant was a good radio partner here. Burr sets him up to joke about it, but Ant downplays and supports Opie's bullshit, then tries to change the subject. Anthony was there for tits that day...

To be fair to Anthony, he usually carried Opie through the show and tried to minimize his shame.

ant was just embarrassed by association and wanted to move on

I wanna put Opie in a lab & have scientist study his brain, it one thing to lie but this is something all together different. So he says he punched the guy really hard in the face & there was absolutely no consequences even though he assulted someone at a festival who works there & the guy he just violently assaulted only response was 'hey I don't want any problems' and returned his money & his date didn't seem to mind the violent overreaction! Really… I've been to street festivals in real rough neighborhoods & never seen such a thing & its beyond absurd to claim he assaulted a festival vendor like he's Joe Pesci in Goodfellas & didn't get arrested or his ass kicked by the guy and/or the other vendors who would've been in close proximity

Notice how no one reacts to his story. If Sam, Jim, Anthony, Travis, Patrice, Bobby, Burr, Louis, etc would've said that they punched a guy then everyone would've made them tell the story in detail. They hear opie's bullshit and brush right over it. This happens a lot with his stories and he always has to assure people that they're true stories. That must be a radio guy thing, like saying the time at the top of the hour.

I think they feel bad for him. Like a kid at school who has a dad that's coming home any day now.

lol

Can this Opie guy take a hit??

Opie should put on a top hat and remove it with a shotgun

You know how Jimmy and Anthony have stories that they've told 5-10 times over the years because they're especially ludicrous? Funny how this story was a one time deal.

The more you listen to old shows, the more of these you hear. Always one offs.

Every last one of them
