I have heard him use both of those phrases so many times. The funniest thing is, the verbal crutches and body language foibles he points out in others, he is guilty of ALL THE TIME.
This entire situation makes every old clip so much funnier. Listening to the arrogance of Opie talk about his leverage in negotiations, or talk about how he didn't need Jim or Ant, or give advice to other radio guys, etc.... At the end of the day, everyone now realizes the guy has no talent at all. He has none. I would pay $100 to hear Opie panic as he tried to do radio for an hour without any help.
Even when he was a mess, Fez was always infinitely funnier and a better radio presence than Opie. It annoyed me so much when "Hughesey" would take little jabs at Fez.
Listen to his show from a few days ago when he goes on and on about how great some doc about ALS was... "how it changed his life, etc." It's a great example of an obvious and desperate attempt to fill airtime because Sherrod overslept and couldn't make it into the studio that day, LOL.
For a guy that's been in the biz so long, Opie really can't do radio. And for the record, I only listen to it for the hate, cringe and douche factors. Here's a YouTube link to the show and you can PayPal me that $100. Thanks bunches!
That's because he's a dullard. He has no curiousity, no interest in the greater world, he just watches the same dreck TV his wife does, and thinks he's well read. Ant and Jim would read the papers every morning, looking for stories to talk about - he did the Soduku. He doesn't go out, takes him months to read a book (he was reading that book about Rats for about a year), doesn't listen to other radio shows (except Stern) or podcasts...what the fuck does he have to talk about? He has no hobbies, no interests, no passion, no creativity.
He's slacked his way through his whole life. You think at 59, he's gonna suddenly wake up and take interest in the world around him?
Imagine how Yonkers and Washington Heights are gonna feel, on their weekends in his studio apartment in upstate NY - "Daddy, what make lightning work?" "Uh...I dunno. Lightning is craaaaaazy, right?"
The retard was reading it for longer then that, im going through listening to the old archive in 08 and hes talking about that rat book, then listening to the Tony Danza stuff from 05 and he brings up his "rat book". The man is simple.
Opie is the shambling, living definition of "hubris".
hu·bris
ˈ(h)yo͞obrəs/
noun
excessive pride or self-confidence.
synonyms: arrogance, conceit, haughtiness, hauteur, pride, self-importance, egotism, pomposity, superciliousness, superiority; More
antonyms: humility
(in Greek tragedy) excessive pride toward or defiance of the gods, leading to nemesis.
Everything moves so slow in these giant corporations.
When Sirius and XM merged eight years ago, Opie and Anthony were two of the biggest hosts on satellite radio, and were getting paid well, as documented in numerous articles.
When Ant got canned, there was a bunch of money on the table, and Opie and Jim divvied that up. Both of them went out and bought new homes, indicative of their newfound wealth.
Obviously, Opie made a big mistake, and may have actually believed that he was "a big deal" still.

We're gonna need you to move your stuff down to storage room B. Yeah, we've got some boxes we need to put in this corner.

"So you steer the conversation for the comedians to entertain the listeners?"
"Yes, that's right."
"And you contribute jokes?"
"Well... no."
"So, none of your cohosts have ever done radio shows by themselves?"
"Well... sure, yeah, they have."
"So why don't the comedians just steer the show?"
"I already told you people! I STEER THE SHOW! WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!"

Ugh, I forgot about him bragging about being a "people watcher" like he's a psychologist philosophizing on the human condition.
10 MartyVanB 2016-11-30
That and how he was an expert at "reading people"

If you know ANYTHING about body language....
If you know ANYTHING about psychology....

So if you could go ahead and do that that would be great.

You can always count on Sherrod to reinforce those Black stereotypes.

But he made millions in the process. I would suffer that humiliation for that money.
10 BoardroomBimmy 2016-11-30
I don't know. Doesn't it seem weird that a guy who just had his time slot taken away and his name taken off the channel is third highest paid?

I would be surprised if Opie is even in the top 10 earners at Sirius.
6 Dennyislife 2016-11-30
Thats not what opie told the papers when he got kicked to the afternoon
9 MalcolmX_InTheMiddle 2016-11-30
Opie is known for his loyalty and honesty.
0 philtheprince 2016-11-30
Eh, who are they going to be paying more? It wouldn't surprise me. I don't think it will be true in 11/2017, but it wouldn't surprise me now.
