Opie would literally be a beloved legend right now if he accepted the role of the straight man. Instead he allowed his narcissism and ego to ruin everything. He had a GOLDEN opportunity and wasted it. He could of been the "Ernie Johnson" of radio. Ernie works alongside legends such as Charles Barkley and Shaq and is JUST AS loved as them. Because he directed the show so well, knew when to talk, knew when not to, knew when to joke, knew when to let someone riff, and knew when to lob up softballs for his cohosts and guests. Ernie Johnson is now in the Sports Broadcasting Hall Of Fame and is probably the most popular well-liked sports broadcaster in America. He is considered just as essential as Charles, Shaq, and Kenny on the show. This literally could have been Opie for O&A and radio.

I have lived in NYC and there's a lot of people like Opie. Physically they're harmless, just middle aged weak people. But they have a lot of mental issues.

So, Opie couldn’t “get in” on the joke or pile on because he needed to be, some what, responsible. And Opie started to hate that and he just got angry about that.

I don't think he once ever talked about a current movie without mentioning the Rotten Tomatoes score (usually to back up his opinion). But then when it came to all the times Ant & Jimmy went on a classic movie quote spree, Opie would always sit there in silence. Because he had no personal passion for movies, just wanted to go with the current popular flow. Same with music. He actually claimed that Coldplay was awesome. The only other time he mentioned music was as a status symbol of what a knowledgeable radio guy he was. It was most obvious during the jazz and blues bits, where he would try to claim some kind of authority, simply for knowing who Miles Davis and Stevie Ray Vaughan were (the two most widely known names in the genres), That's like bragging that you're an encyclopedia of ragtime for having heard of Scott Joplin.

Opie should apologize to Anthony, to his face and without crying this time. Instead he'll go to his grave with a giant cringe chip on his shoulder.

I am 41, I should leave to build the credibility of the brand.

[@lithium23]

I am 27, though I was listening to Opie and Anthony since 2010 there bouts. Never did Sub to Sirius though. Anthony would stream the show on Paltalk for free and somehow got away with that lol

[@klompsauce]

This is even funnier bc I found Ant on Compound before I heard O&A. Opie is Chip.

[@ScoundrelSFB]

I listened to this with the same guilty pleasure as a high school girl who loves to hear gossip 👂😗

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

I guess Gregg forgets, he did a show with Jim and some Sam Roberts, it was unlistenable. If he's so talented, why is he doing a show on Facebook for 12 people? He's right radio companies have no morals. If Opie was as half as good as he thinks, he would have a real radio gig, regardless of what he and Anthony did in the past?

[@shawnkripplebauer403]

[@johnbauby6612]

I think what I find MOST HILARIOUS is that Anthony was a high school grad and "Opie" always made it a point to tell everyone he was a (loser) college grad YET Anthony was and is FAR more articulate and knowledgeable than "Opie" ever could be!!!

[@lfkk4640]

Actually, I think Ant missed by two P.E credits for a HS diploma. Or maybe he DID go back to HS🤣... for P.E.? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@westside98]

[@intercoursehandguns851]

Anthony is actually VERY smart. "He knows a little bit of everything" was a quote from Opie himself.

[@WittyOriginalUsername]

With how gay his frat sounded, I wouldn’t be surprised if Opie has some secrets he’s repressed from those days 😂

[@minnesotafats8140]

Anthony did HVAC, a real and respectable manual labor job

[@jmal529]

I started to listening to o & a when I was teenager (and, shock, I'm a lady). 20 years later and I can still safely say that Ant's rants were always the best parts. I still sing Bowling For Behave to myself on a regular basis

[@ragnarthered2112]

Why dont you make a movie called bowling for behave

[@brooksideradio]

Opie is delusional and more racist than them all. As Patrice said, it's 'racial', not racist. Ant's racial rants were the best thing on the show, with Jimmy and Opie laughing all along together.

[@trashaccount5106]

... the ones where he starts yelling about "these people" whose neighborhood is like a "jungle"? He had the proud boys guy on his show etc And yeah sometimes it was just a bit, sure. But hes on tape with stuff thats way beyond bits. Starting to think hes deliberately keeping this going for attention

[@brooksideradio]

@@trashaccount5106 hmm I'm talking about O&A times only, and Ant's race discussions/rants were one of the best things on the show. I don't think he went too far at all, just pure honesty more so. Since then, things have changed maybe..

[@valkam9325]

Ant describing Opie at 5:00 sums up most people on social media today.

[@christophermartin972]

The O’Neal & Anthony show was way more entertaining than Opie and Anthony

[@RedGod-1]

And to think it’s gotten even worse. “Follow me over on the blue sky, I’m following everyone back”

[@jamesriverfossils]

Every time Opie goes live, I write a long comment complimenting him and then completely crap on him at the end just so he reads it out loud 🤣

[@roddydykes7053]

That’s brilliant!

[@DirtyTroll24]

I truly miss old O & A, imagine if Opie could've been humble and laughed at himself like Anthony & Jimmy could do. Ant & Jimmy remain legends and Opie is the poor looking washed up "Radio Guy"

[@MrBlick76]

Crazy right?

[@OrangeElixir]

Someone should make a documentary about Opie's present state. Call it "Gregg Gardens". He seems to be going the same route mentally as Little Edie Beale.

[@christopherkinsella3912]

Opie has 12 different stories about how this all happened. The show ran its course and they were done and it couldn’t be saved but also it would have continued if not for Anthony. He’s such a dope

[@frontcentermusician]

Anthony was it. Period! Opie rode his coattails big time.

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

Even Opie's loyal viewers are only there hoping he talks about Anthony, Jimmy , Sam or the O & A show.

[@SugaryCoyote]

It still blows my mind that all Opie had to do was sit in the broadcast chair and do nothing and he'd be wildly rich, famous, and everybody would like him.

[@moonlander811]

You and Patrice were on another plane... Best talk radio there is. Without a doubt. You weren't racist. You were honest.

[@TheChadTI]

Was this Ants greatest compound show ever? It's certainly up there and it's just him. Proving why he's a legend.🤙

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

The WNEW firing really fucked Opie up. He always thought, even in the early days of XM, something better was just around the corner, the big call that was going to put them back on top.

[@bkwillo85]

Bringing up the mirrors was a low blow, Tony! A low blow!

[@sappho7278]

I loved Opie and Anthony. I also love the new show Opie vs Anthony. You guys just keep giving and giving

[@yittmashups]

Every once in awhile, I'll check out one of Opie's video uploads of his podcast on KZbin for laughs. It rarely disappoints. Last favorite funny thing I remember, when he got caught by a stream chatter for repeatedly taking fake big drinks from an empty coffee mug whenever he didn't know what to say or felt awkward. Perfect callback had me rolling when some minutes after he got busted, he did it again, then remembering how he had been outed earlier and damage control attempted with "what am I doin', there's nothin' even in this!" lol --- ♫♪ BAAAH, BA DA BA BA BAAAH BAAAH ♪♫ --- Never change, Opester.

[@michaeldonnan6767]

@James the "community he created" doesn't hate him. The alt-right pea-brains hate him. Frankly, having you as fans would be more embarrassing than having you as enemies.

[@danielmenza4571]

When Opie is no longer around, no one will miss him. He has made zero impact.

[@dumbguy6843]

Lol! After all these years, opie still brings out your best work anthony.

[@Old-ded-memes]

I came to understand just how insecure Opie is when I joined one of his livestreams. People were asking him generic questions and he was looking for insults in them. As if there was an evil subtext in every comment. I don’t know how people worked with this guy

[@kingbuzzo8703]

I mean, we all agree that anthony is a hard core racist though, right?

[@attaining-stoicism3271]

Yeah but he is fummy about it had the balls to do it w Patrice there and I don't think that's the ultimate sin

[@benitosotelo444]

For good reason

You are sooooo right about opie "not doing a show" as a defence mechanism.

[@zepherscotty]

The main thing i always liked about Ant. Besides the quick as a whip jokes, great timing, incredible interviewing skills. it was the fact that people called him a racist and child molester and he never really bothered to correct them. I like that. He doesnt feel the need to correct it. But he is a ghoul when it comes to girls that cut that razors edge of legality. Love him, but he is somewhat of a ghoul.

Here’s exactly what happened. Opie was in some sort of zoom meeting or similar and the host, who started the meeting, introduced everyone as they joined. If you’re in corporate world yk. He then thought that’s how all live presentations are supposed to begin by calling out users as they enter. They’re not coworkers from the office across town but what do I know “ain’t been doin it since I was 18”.

[@DoctorDetroitVideosStuff]
