Why did Opie hold back as long as he did?

1  2019-01-29 by stockiermoth

While he was getting slammed by Jim and Anthony he really didn’t fight back till recently. It has not been until now where he finally showed all the dirty laundry they had. If he had given his side of the story sooner I don’t think he would be as isolated with the fan base as he was before.

he was busy. became a real estate agent in NY, volunteered at the homeless shelter and don't forget his third shift office job. He didn't have the time. He sued Sirius successfully too. Set a precedent: Gregg "Opie" Hughes v. SiriusXM, Howard Stern and Larry, et al...

“Ah yes today class were gonna talk about the famous Supreme Court case, Brotherman vs Sirius...”

brothman! brothaman!

Don't forget those 6 months he was focused on Halloween

its called "being the bigger man"

quite figuratively and literally in this case

Because this sub was still so anti-Opie that we wouldn’t have listened.

Opie waited for us to start to see the light, and then he grabbed our hands and walked us along the beach called truth.

God bless the brotherman.

May he cake stomp those that wish to harm this subreddit

Two set of foot prints in the sand my friend

Opie waited for Nana and Worm to unravel (as he knew they inevitably would) and then finished off the job and had his Rise Again

Probably because Opie doesn’t give a fuck about those underlings.

Because he gets paid nothing .

Don't ever intervene in the process of your enemies hanging themselves.

Because he’s a passive agressive pussy. This sub has ran the opie bit so far into the ground that half of them don’t even realize they’re part of it.

Nice try with the hate, though.

Because Opie may be an unfunny hack, but he was smarter than all of them in the end.

Because he’s a humorless autist with nothing funny to say.

That’s the bit!

Cause Opie was down. He lost his job and, as much as everyone here wants to duck his dick, has zero entrepreneurial spirit.

As bad as Ant is I give him credit for doing his own thing and creating the studio and at least trying to get a network going. Opie has his ego tied to who employs him. He is a company man through and through.

Ant has no entrepreneurial spirit. Keith was the one who made him make a network, and Ant is so lazy that he only works 2 hour days 4 days a week. He's a fucking loser who has done nothing himself, and he relies on hanger-ons.

Ant had his own private show going during O&A, he was the one who had the idea for the network, he put up the money, he hosted the shows... Look I know it's popular now to shit on Ant but anyone who says he didn't achieve something starting an independent podcast network is a fag. It's really hard to do.

Yeah he bumbled it along the way and should have done more free content and everything about the network sucks, but making the network was 10x more impressive than anything Opie ever did.

Awesome. He threw boat loads of money around, built a studio and does a show for a few hundred people.

That’s not achieving anything. If he had an actual sub base or some recognition for his “network” you could say that. He has nothing. Look at how pathetic that book signing was.

Ant has stated multiple times that after he got fired he was a drunk mess and Keith got him to start a network.

So you’re wrong, idiot.

What am I wrong about you fucking retard? Nobody cares about your opinion of the shows or network, the conversation is about whether or not Ant did more than opie. Which he did. I explained it and your only response was "who cares if sucks." Opiefags are ruining this place.

The fuck are you on about? Anth is the laziest fucking minority I’ve ever seen. If he had any ambition or brains, he would have started a free podcast the second after he was fired.

He did start a podcast the second he was fired. It just wasn't free.

Are you new here or something? He was running a free show for years and started his network like a few days after he was fired.

It isn't revisionist history what so ever. You're promoting Ant like he was some brave revolutionary. The first and only reality of both O&A is they made enough money to NEVER have to work again......if manged correctly. Opie didn't and doesn't NEED to be some bold entrepreneur. He's rich bitch!

I'm not "promoting Ant like he was some sort of brave revolutionary." I'm not sure why you would interpret my comment like that.

What I said is this: Ant started his own thing immediately after he was fired, invested a lot of money into it, gathered talent, and has been doing it for years.

Hate it all you want, but it's more than Opie did. This is inarguable.

You're attacking Opie, which is weirdly gay considering that without Opie, Ant wouldn't have had the money to burn up and waste with his outdated platform wannabe Alt Right politics show. "It is more than Opie did". You're right bud, Opie didn't do that because he didn't HAVE to do that. He kept his money. Now he signed a contract, invested minimally into his new podcast and lives off the ad revenue of the "free to listen" modern platform. Proving, once again, to be smarter than the GED white trash (former) millionaire. Thanks for playing. Nice try with the hate brotherman

lol jesus christ there's actual unironic opie fans in here.

If that's all you got, I guess I'll take it. It's better than bending over backwards to defend Ant and act like he has become some media mogul.

I didnt bend over backwards I just pointed out he did more after he was fired than Opie did. Because you're a weird Opie ballwasher you interpreted that fact as me "defending Ant" which it isn't. I even made a point to say his show is had but you're such a fag you cant even tolerate that.

It’s whatsoever, stupid.

We had broken him
