Agreed. I remember him talking on the show about being so busy writing that when his mother went to one of his shows (in April) she gave him his Christmas present. What the fuck was he writing? I've seen three of his comedy specials and the material was almost exactly the same (AIDS jokes, pervert admissions).
I know. Motherfucker literally told the story about him printing out his sexting messages in his last Netflix special. What was that like a decade after he told that shit on air? And I know I’ve heard him tell it on a air a half dozen times, conservatively.
Arguably they both got fired over Twitter. I believe Roland went to HR over that film not because he took it, but because of what he knew he would do with it.
Opie sets up His ‘That’s the bits’ from a country mile away. Knowing the word guerrilla is slightly above mean so he teases that he doesn’t know it, just to spring that sweet trap on the unsuspected.
I despise Opie and I know we're supposed to be saying this type of thing as a joke, but he is without question the most entertaining of the 3 right now. It's not even close. Just look at this fucking beautifully retarded tweet.
*"the communications center was raided by guerrillas from the north" referring to actions or activities performed in an impromptu way, often without authorization.
Gorilla:
*"Oh my god, I'm covered in shit!" referring to literal gorilla shit thrown upon you by a nearby gorilla.
I gotta find it, but he wrote an email to a fan about Sex for Sam that ended up on Wackbag back in the day. Even at the time when all the fans worshipped Opie, I remember being embarrassed for him with all the misspellings and punctuation errors. It was the digital equivalent of a college graduate writing in crayon.
Turn's out it was shared by none other than the fan community's OG pedo creep FedEx Ed. It's a fascinating read considering the fabricating crybully we now know him to be. A time capsule of a time when we believed every word this lottery winner said. Here's the text that will forever cast doubt upon the SUNY system in my eyes:
Terry...you're correct it was I. I had a real bad gut feeling that I was
looking at that studio for the last time. I've never been one to hold back so I blurted that out as I turned on the mike for the first time that day. Just before we signed off that faithful day I took one last look around the studio where all that debauchery took place over the 4 years than looked at ANthony and said, "Your mom's box!" You probably know that was what people were told to say on our show when they knew it was their last appearance. ANt and Jim said it back and i shut off all the mikes for the last time.
Here's just a little bit of my writings that cover that faithful day. I edited this down from 10 pages so I don't bore you to death. Left out a lot more of the details for now.
The day after SS3 was a very intense day. We came in to WNEW a lot earlier than we usually do to see what we needed to do to try to put out some of the fires that begun the night before when the irresponsible media decided to run with our escapades without even doing basic fact checking journalism. That will be a whole discussion in itself some day. We immediately hunkered down with upper management to decide a course of action. Although they weren't very happy with us they never gave any indication that we wouldn't
try to weather the storm. Besides Ant and I have been through many tough situations with our show since moving back to NY. It was decided after a few hours of meetings with lawyers and others that we'd go on the air friday August 16th. The day after SS3 (side note......August 15th was my parents 40th wedding anniversary!!! Oye!.........they were sure proud of their son that day.) We ended up doing one of our worst shows ever as we were forced to make believe that one of the biggest radio stories never happened the day before. At this time we were getting killed by the media and we weren't able
to defend ourselves and at least fight back. Every media outlet you can think of was calling the show trying to get the exclusive interview with “dumb and dumber.” They were also gathering outside the building along with the paparazzi and were attempting to sneak upstairs to where we broadcasted. They smelled blood! To this day I kick myself for not following my gut instinct . We should have defended ourselves and told the world the facts about SS3. This was our last chance to defend ourselves before the wolves went in for the kill. To this day no one has gotten the facts right. Someday they will and it will be reported as a small blurb in the middle of the paper somewhere......that's how it's done. We were just about to sign off
for the day when I was overcome with this feeling that this could be the end of the Opie and Anthony show for awhile. You need to understand that Anthony and I would put our asses on the line everyday. We would take the long walk down the hall from our office to the studio everyday with the feeling that this could be the day that we would blow it all up. We always understood this and wanted it no other way. Our mantra was....No regrets ever!! When you put yourself on the line like that it gives you a real feeling of being alive! Kind of like skydiving wondering if that chute is really going to open. Most people in radio can’t understand this way of thinking so they dismiss it as us being stupid considering how much we had to lose. So, as we
were about to say goodbye I looked at Ant and he knew exactly what I was thinking. One of the things that made the show so great was our ability to know what the other person was thinking at all times. You can’t teach this in broadcasting school. My last words on WNEW were, “Your moms box”. Ant paused and followed suit, “Your moms box”. Than we looked at the meaty breasted Jim Norton. He paused and said, “Your moms box”. Your moms box is such a silly little thing that was started when Psycho Mark was fired for allowing a couple to have anal sex on the bosses couch during the first Sex for Sam broadcast. The day he got fired we asked if he had any last words
and he said, “Your moms box”. We adopted that saying as the last words anyone should say when they were on our show for the last time. We turned off the mikes and before I left the studio I took one last look around the studio where all the debauchery had occurred for the last 4 years. After the show we knew that the shit was hitting the fan.......big time!!! I left the building and walked right past many anxious news reporters and paparazzi as they were awaiting our departure from the building. What a bunch of dopes. They were sent to cover a huge scandalous story and they didn’t know what we
looked like. Journalism 101 kids. They would have ran each other over to get to us. Instead, they parted like the red sea to let me through the crowd. That really made me happy. I was in constant contact with "the powers that be" for the next 6 days. I knew this thing was starting to snowball out of our control and felt that we needed to do something anything. I kept asking if we were going to get fired. Anthony and I were through this very same thing 4 years earlier when we did our now infamous "The Mayors Dead" April Fools day prank. A bit that I still say was the worst thing we ever did. The powers that be thought I was nuts for thinking we were going to get fired and did their best to keep me calm. This went on for 6 days as the coverage
spiraled out of control. I knew if someone didn't get in there and fight for us we'd be fucked. The misinformation that was flowing was crusifying us and no one was there for us to push back. To this day I wonder why absolutely nothing was said on our or the company’s behalf. For at least the 6th time I asked are we getting fired. Of course, I was told again that I was crazy for thinking that and I should go home and get some sleep.
The day of our "cancellation" (august 22nd)..................Things moved
quickly. I called the suit in “charge” and asked for the last time if we
were getting fired. Again I was told that I was crazy for thinking that.
This would be the last time that I would talk to anyone from Infinity
management. It was 11AM. I had a bad feeling so I went to the office to meet
Anthony and the gang. We were sitting around the office waiting for any type
of sign that would let us know that we'd make it through this one. I was
reading some fan emails. Ant was playing a computer game and Jim Norton was
obsessing over some ridiculous thing. Rick was hard at work putting the
"best of" together for that days show. By now our show was entering the 4th
day of reruns as we were taken off the air and waited to see how things
played out. On this day we had a suit breathing down Rick’s neck listening
to every bit we picked for that show. He was there to make sure that the
bits we played that day would not offend a single soul. I think we had a
total of 4 bits that didn’t offend anyone. This was not a good sign. I also
remember that I couldn’t get anyone on the phone from the company. This was
strange considering they were dropping everything to talk to me prior to
this. Ant, Jim and I stayed until about 3:30 and decided that there wasn't
much else to do so we left the office. Little did I know that this would be
the last day I'd see our office where all the Opie and Anthony radio magic
was created. So many bits that we came up with just shooting the shit around
that office. I hear that they locked our office and it remains locked to
this day with all our stuff still in place the way we left it on August 22nd
. ) We preceded to walk around the city and clear our heads. Which was a
difficult task. By now the majority of the people we passed on the sidewalks
had seen our mugs on tv. I never felt more separated from society in all my
life. We ended up at Starbucks to get some coffee on 67th and Colombus. We
were standing outside when my cell phone rang. It was our agent on the
phone. Good old Bob. He flew to NYC from LA a couple days earlier even
though the company said we had nothing to worry about.
The conversation...(4pm)
Opie.....Hey Bob! What's up?
Bob.....Where are you guys? I need to see you immediately.
Opie.....Why? What's up? (I've been around long enough to know what was up.
But I was hoping against hope.)
Bob......Tell me where you guys are! I need to see you immediately. We have
a big problem!
Opie......You might as well tell me on the phone.
Bob.......The company has decided to cancel the show.
This will go down as hopefully the most surreal moment in my life. Let me
explain. It was only a couple of months prior that we were sitting in an
office high above Manhatten. The 53rd floor I believe. We sat there over
looking the entire city as we were being told how great we were and how we
were the future of Infinity broadcasting. As this was being said I remember
looking out the windows at the panoramic view thinking, what a view! Anyway,
back to the moment at hand. My heart and phone dropped to the sidewalk on a
picture perfect late summer afternoon. I was devastated! Radio is what I
do…..It’s all I do. Anthony didn't even have to ask.........he knew. I
believe he said something like, "we did it again." It’s very interesting to
look around you right after you get life changing news. You quickly realize
that the earth keeps on happily rotating and people keep going about their
busy lives. It would be so great to have the earth stop for a moment so
everyone can acknowledge your pain. Ant, Jimmy, Bob and I went back to my
apartment just in time to see the breaking news on every single news
station. Opie and Anthony have been fired. Honestly, the next few hours are
a complete blur. I know we sent someone out to get beer and pizza as we sat
and watched all the coverage. The remote got a work-out as we flipped around
to watch people that had no business being on tv discuss us. Most of these
idiots never once sat down and listened to one of our radio shows but they
were experts on us anyway. They immediately labeled us shock jocks which has
always been an insult to Ant and I. Granted, there was a shock element to
our show but it was also so much more. The reason the show has worked for
the past 8+ years is simple…..we made people laugh consistently day in and
day out. Period! Our cell phones were ringing off the hook from all over the
country as the news spread to our family members, colleagues, other media
outlets, and of course our enemies. Our enemies! Enjoy your moment in the
sun for payback is going to be a bitch! It was complete chaos in that
apartment. The news coverage was unbelievable. One moment we’re two guys
from Long Island with a successful syndicated radio show and the next we’re
known all over the world as the scurge of society. We did what anyone else
would do in this situation............we drank!!!! Please god just numb the
pain!! I was out of my mind. It seemed like a bad dream. Hours went by and
slowly but surely people started leaving the apartment one by one to go
home. Ant was the last to leave and we had some sort of small talk. I
remember we were both thinking that it was deja vu all over again. We told
each other no worries we would get through this one just like all the other
times. Of course this was bullshit because this wasn’t like the other times.
Sandy and I sat around the apartment. We watched the coverage for another
hour or so and then called it a night. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep
but I figured I'd give it a shot. We laid in bed for hours. San finally fell
asleep and I was left by myself for the first time all day and I started
thinking about everything that went on the past week. Hours clicked by
painfully slow. The more I thought about it the worst I felt. My heart was
racing, my palms were sweating..........I thought to myself........."did you
just fuck up the easiest job in America?" The thought sent more anxiety
shooting through my body. Holy shit......I think I'm having a heart
attack!!! I jumped out of bed and walked around the dark apartment for hours
as I tried to calm myself down. Pacing from one end to the other praying for
the sun to come up. You read that correctly……PRAYING! Yes, I believe in god.
Maybe not the way you believe but I believe. The only noise I heard was my
heart beating really loud and hard. Thump....thump....thump. I never had an
anxiety attack before so I didn't know how to handle it. I grabbed my
in-line skates and hit the park and did endless loops to try to exhaust
myself into sleep. I've never skated so hard inmy life. It didn’t work! ( I
ended up awake for close to 2 weeks straight before I had my first halfway
decent sleep.) Eventually the sun came up to start a new day. I left my
apartment wondering if today would be the day that we made the front page.
This was always an underlying gag with the radio show. It was one of our
goals to make the front page of the NY paper. As I walked to the corner deli
to get the NY papers I thought, that was some view!!
"They were sent to cover a huge scandalous story and they didn’t know what we looked like. Journalism 101 kids."
That had nothing to do with journalism that's called being a nobody. Journalism 101 is taking advantage of the controversy to get famous, not walking past them and trusting "the powers that be" (yuck)
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Arguably they both got fired over Twitter. I believe Roland went to HR over that film not because he took it, but because of what he knew he would do with it.

I would have thought he would use that term when referring to Chicago crime statistics.

Opie has no idea how to create a relevant or likeable persona. But he sure does try

This sub really has lost focus when the main point they focus on is the misspelling of a word, were not exactly known for being an erudite bunch.

1 knitro 2018-05-08
Opie sets up His ‘That’s the bits’ from a country mile away. Knowing the word guerrilla is slightly above mean so he teases that he doesn’t know it, just to spring that sweet trap on the unsuspected.
You’ve all been got by the master.

I gotta find it, but he wrote an email to a fan about Sex for Sam that ended up on Wackbag back in the day. Even at the time when all the fans worshipped Opie, I remember being embarrassed for him with all the misspellings and punctuation errors.

Thank you kindly for your words of encouragement. Here's the link to the post
Turn's out it was shared by none other than the fan community's OG pedo creep FedEx Ed. It's a fascinating read considering the fabricating crybully we now know him to be. A time capsule of a time when we believed every word this lottery winner said. Here's the text that will forever cast doubt upon the SUNY system in my eyes:

I had a bad feeling so I went to the office to meet Anthony and the gang. We were sitting around the office waiting for any type of sign that would let us know that we'd make it through this one. I was reading some fan emails. Ant was playing a computer game and Jim Norton was obsessing over some ridiculous thing. Rick was hard at work putting the "best of" together for that days show. By now our show was entering the 4th day of reruns as we were taken off the air and waited to see how things played out. On this day we had a suit breathing down Rick’s neck listening to every bit we picked for that show. He was there to make sure that the bits we played that day would not offend a single soul. I think we had a total of 4 bits that didn’t offend anyone. This was not a good sign. I also remember that I couldn’t get anyone on the phone from the company. This was strange considering they were dropping everything to talk to me prior to this. Ant, Jim and I stayed until about 3:30 and decided that there wasn't much else to do so we left the office. Little did I know that this would be the last day I'd see our office where all the Opie and Anthony radio magic was created. So many bits that we came up with just shooting the shit around that office. I hear that they locked our office and it remains locked to this day with all our stuff still in place the way we left it on August 22nd . ) We preceded to walk around the city and clear our heads. Which was a difficult task. By now the majority of the people we passed on the sidewalks had seen our mugs on tv. I never felt more separated from society in all my life. We ended up at Starbucks to get some coffee on 67th and Colombus. We were standing outside when my cell phone rang. It was our agent on the phone. Good old Bob. He flew to NYC from LA a couple days earlier even though the company said we had nothing to worry about.
The conversation...(4pm)
Opie.....Hey Bob! What's up? Bob.....Where are you guys? I need to see you immediately. Opie.....Why? What's up? (I've been around long enough to know what was up. But I was hoping against hope.) Bob......Tell me where you guys are! I need to see you immediately. We have a big problem! Opie......You might as well tell me on the phone. Bob.......The company has decided to cancel the show.
This will go down as hopefully the most surreal moment in my life. Let me explain. It was only a couple of months prior that we were sitting in an office high above Manhatten. The 53rd floor I believe. We sat there over looking the entire city as we were being told how great we were and how we were the future of Infinity broadcasting. As this was being said I remember looking out the windows at the panoramic view thinking, what a view! Anyway, back to the moment at hand. My heart and phone dropped to the sidewalk on a picture perfect late summer afternoon. I was devastated! Radio is what I do…..It’s all I do. Anthony didn't even have to ask.........he knew. I believe he said something like, "we did it again." It’s very interesting to look around you right after you get life changing news. You quickly realize that the earth keeps on happily rotating and people keep going about their busy lives. It would be so great to have the earth stop for a moment so everyone can acknowledge your pain. Ant, Jimmy, Bob and I went back to my apartment just in time to see the breaking news on every single news station. Opie and Anthony have been fired. Honestly, the next few hours are a complete blur. I know we sent someone out to get beer and pizza as we sat and watched all the coverage. The remote got a work-out as we flipped around to watch people that had no business being on tv discuss us. Most of these idiots never once sat down and listened to one of our radio shows but they were experts on us anyway. They immediately labeled us shock jocks which has always been an insult to Ant and I. Granted, there was a shock element to our show but it was also so much more. The reason the show has worked for the past 8+ years is simple…..we made people laugh consistently day in and day out. Period! Our cell phones were ringing off the hook from all over the country as the news spread to our family members, colleagues, other media outlets, and of course our enemies. Our enemies! Enjoy your moment in the sun for payback is going to be a bitch! It was complete chaos in that apartment. The news coverage was unbelievable. One moment we’re two guys from Long Island with a successful syndicated radio show and the next we’re known all over the world as the scurge of society. We did what anyone else would do in this situation............we drank!!!! Please god just numb the pain!! I was out of my mind. It seemed like a bad dream. Hours went by and slowly but surely people started leaving the apartment one by one to go home. Ant was the last to leave and we had some sort of small talk. I remember we were both thinking that it was deja vu all over again. We told each other no worries we would get through this one just like all the other times. Of course this was bullshit because this wasn’t like the other times. Sandy and I sat around the apartment. We watched the coverage for another hour or so and then called it a night. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep but I figured I'd give it a shot. We laid in bed for hours. San finally fell asleep and I was left by myself for the first time all day and I started thinking about everything that went on the past week. Hours clicked by painfully slow. The more I thought about it the worst I felt. My heart was racing, my palms were sweating..........I thought to myself........."did you just fuck up the easiest job in America?" The thought sent more anxiety shooting through my body. Holy shit......I think I'm having a heart attack!!! I jumped out of bed and walked around the dark apartment for hours as I tried to calm myself down. Pacing from one end to the other praying for the sun to come up. You read that correctly……PRAYING! Yes, I believe in god. Maybe not the way you believe but I believe. The only noise I heard was my heart beating really loud and hard. Thump....thump....thump. I never had an anxiety attack before so I didn't know how to handle it. I grabbed my in-line skates and hit the park and did endless loops to try to exhaust myself into sleep. I've never skated so hard inmy life. It didn’t work! ( I ended up awake for close to 2 weeks straight before I had my first halfway decent sleep.) Eventually the sun came up to start a new day. I left my apartment wondering if today would be the day that we made the front page. This was always an underlying gag with the radio show. It was one of our goals to make the front page of the NY paper. As I walked to the corner deli to get the NY papers I thought, that was some view!!

"They were sent to cover a huge scandalous story and they didn’t know what we looked like. Journalism 101 kids."
That had nothing to do with journalism that's called being a nobody. Journalism 101 is taking advantage of the controversy to get famous, not walking past them and trusting "the powers that be" (yuck)

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

I know. Motherfucker literally told the story about him printing out his sexting messages in his last Netflix special. What was that like a decade after he told that shit on air? And I know I’ve heard him tell it on a air a half dozen times, conservatively.
