Quick summary: Jim is mad some whore wouldn't come in and take her clothes off, Ben gets defensive and starts an argument about it, but the argument spirals into several different issues Ben (and the staff) have with Jimmy making certain jokes. Jim mentions that he knows Ben doesn't like being teased, but he's a character on the show so it's expected.
Now there's no video for this, but here is what I imagine happened:
Jimmy: "[...]So if I tease my friends, sorry, we have to fill a lot of content, you guys understand that. You're a character pointing/looking at Ben, you're a character pointing/looking at Steve, why shouldn't we all be characters...
Steve: No, no...
Jimmy: "He's a sociopath and a fucking character pointing/looking at Opie, his whole fucking nazi germophobe...pointing/looking at Anthony... we all have to do that.
Steve: I don't think anybody is debating that.
Tits [talking over Steve]: Who's a sociopath? (he asks this twice)
Ant: YOU
At this point, Jimmy very quickly realizes that there will be a problem if he clarifies what he said, a comment which was very obviously directed at Opie. But in true worm fashion, he backs down:
Jimmy: I pointed at Ant.
Tits: Oh alright, I wanted to make sure.
Jimmy: Oh no no no no
Tits: [over the top fake laughter]
Ant [in a sheepish quiet tone]: Opie is.
It's amazing how I can't even listen to old throwaway who gives a fuck segments/fights anymore and not notice Opie somehow fucking it up. I know we hate all three of these asshole now, but my god, Opie really was always just fucking awful.

Jimmy always was a pussy.

Weird. I just listens to this episode yesterday.

Opie has ruined my archive-dive into O&A.

I think the problem that people seem to have now with loving Opie is that they don't want to admit that they hate all of them, and just use the virtue of his family to justify why he isn't so bad. But let's be clear here; any piece of shit can start a family. How does that excuse his awfulness?

Opie as a human being is the least worst, even if he's a sociopath.

Not sure where you’re getting that from. If you had to work for any of these 3, Tits is the least bearable. Ant is a fucking criminal and Jimmy is a princess over egg whites, but who knows what would set off Tits on a given day. We’ve all worked in that environment; as Jimmy would say it’s Horrrrrrrrrendoussssss.

And the strange grown-man hypochondria, whining about how sick he is in that pathetic beaten voice. What a twat.

It breaks down like this:
Opie - Passive aggressive, pathological lying, non-empathizing and ego-centric
Ant - Pedophilic, alcoholic, Attention-seeking, approval-loving, self-hating, deflecting, broken pervert
Jimmy - Pedantic, faux-introspective, lazy, pretentious, greedy, bitter, defensive, thin-skinned, tantrum-throwing, cunty worm
Sam - He stinks and I don't like him
By default, and I hate to admit this, Opie is just barely the better human being. There's a lot of functional adults out there like him, while Ant and Jim represent the darker side of humanity and that alone is a shot against any credibility they have.
Sam isn't human and was just the control in this experiment.

This is a perfectly fair breakdown. I’m just pointing out that if you had to interact with those 3, Ant is by all accounts pleasant to work for. Jimmy wants to be comfortable and pampered, but it’s pretty straightforward. Opie is a passive aggressive Jekyll & Hyde. Fuck him directly in his luscious Tits.
1 lifeobenreilly 2018-05-05
Ant is pleasant to your face, but he's fake and will fuck you over somehow.
Jimmy is prima-donna and would never last in a normal job.
Opie is a pain in the ass and two-faced, but sadly, that's a lot of people in the workplace.
And Sam still sucks.

That right there - who knows what would set Tits off on any given day - is why Opie is worse than all of them. That, and the lying and sociopathy.
1 literalotherkin 2018-05-05
Everything Opie does makes me mad. I wish it wasn't so but it's so instinctual now. Every single thing he says is jarring and annoying.
1 theharddriveofhits 2018-05-05
Listening to old O&A clips is strange now. There's such a noticable uncomfortableness with Opie. No one calls him out for his bombs, or his retarded sound effects, or screaming "hold on" so he can "set the bit up" for the 90th time.
The entire room submitted and shied away from a frat wannabe surfer bro who talked in a fake voice, had zero comedic or social abilities, and seemed to not understand 95% of what was being said/joked about.
And the fact that all the ex-staff makes fun of Opie now is even more embarrassing. It took 10 years for some of these guys to finally call him out for treating them like shit. Everyone in the O&A world is embarrassing. There isn't one redeemable human being out of the bunch.

And then Tits must have gotten wind of the whispers about how he can’t follow along, so he started almost subconsciously trying to prove he was plugged in to the conversation by chiming in and repeating the last word or words of any predictable sentence. I did a shitty job explaining it but if you know what I mean it is fucking aggravating

I've never seen anybody else mention this. It's like he thought they were doing a Beastie Boys thing like in their Intergalactic song.

Norton: "I tell the truth about myself!!"
Lol, do ya, stupid?
1 TheMidnight_Rider 2018-05-05
"Sometimes the brutal truth", said in an affected voice that was never his own.
1 KillaKuhnsDeadSon 2018-05-05
Is he.
1 sherockradio 2018-05-05
I honestly think he was proud of that comment, that's why Ant was allowed to say 'You, it was you.'
1 deep_legal_shit 2018-05-05
OPie is such a fucking alpha, good god
