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.

He never actually seemed interested in either, but wanted to appear like he was in the know and usually claimed that his favorites were just whatever was most popular at the time. 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. It's one of those personality traits of a true sociopath. Lacking in personal emotion you can relate to others with, they just fake it as best they can to blend in, and the need to command attention and status in the room is the one emotion they do feel.

One thing ill always love about Ant is he isnt scared to voice his opinion on ANYTHING. People who get offended in a conversation are fking annoying because you feel like youre walking on eggshells all the time.

[@andysalter7192]

I don't think I have ever been offended by anything in my life ! Annoyed ? Sure .. but never in my life have I been like " oh my god, I can't believe you said that , I am just so offended!! " Perhaps cause I am a Adult and can understand context and don't take life to seriously.

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

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

Opie forgets, almost every show from Oct. 2004 until the day Anthony got fired is available to listen to. Antony was the same guy all the years I listened to them. Listen to the old shows, Ant and Jimmy are the same people they've always been.

[@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?

[@WiGgYof09]

If Anthony had been able to sign a 5 year deal for his last contract, he'd have had 3 years left when he was fired and they probably wouldn't have fired him.

[@cleetusvd072]

"the environment changed" are some of the saddest words ever spoken

[@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.

@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.

[@adriennem3168]

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.

opie wanted to be stern more than anything in the world but it was a lot harder than it looked.

[@Beckonor]

Opie starring in that Coca cola commercial in the early 90s was the funniest thing he has ever done and hes been doing radio since he was 18.

[@chippychipperson3480]

"Yeahhhhhhh...." - The Opster

[@theviking8513]

It’s not that Opie isn’t funny. It’s that he’s completely uninteresting in every way. He’s incapable of even entertaining a conversation with one person. He can’t tell interesting stories or talk about topics with an interesting point of view. He’s just a bore. And subconsciously he knows this and takes it out on everyone else. It’s way more pathetic than just simply not being funny.

[@YUMLiberalTears]

Good to see Opie preparing himself for his role in Castaway 2.

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

[@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]

I went to college and I am an idiot

[@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

[@dumbguy6843]

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

[@-coop2911]

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”.

[@bkwillo85]

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

[@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.

[@RonAlbaneseEntertainment]

Awesome as usual ... I hear "The Opester ... " I know it is gonna be good! Ant makes some great points here - Opie could have been on Compound Media!

[@Livvvid]

I never grew up watching but heard "opie and anthony" a million times from adults talking about it. It wasnt until these responses and compilations came out that I got into it retrospectively. I guess im missing 20 years of context but from the clips and compilations it seems like opie is a talentless hack who couldn't handle ant and jimmy being funny. opie knew it deep down and started being grumpy towards them or even going behind their backs with management to fuck them over which is absolutely beyond crossing the line.

[@inomad]

[@DeuCyJUIcY22]

I’m sure it’s been said a bunch of times, but the fact there’s a NOpie and Anthony version of the show speaks louder than standing inside a Jet engine while it takes off

[@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

[@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..

[@SkunkFracker]

he speaks with the same inflection Lady Di had during her downward spiral

[@pittsky]

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

[@MelBee128]

Opie's half right. He is better than Sam but that's not saying much.

[@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

[@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.

[@christophermartin972]

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

Opie seems like a guy that embodies the phrase "I reject your reality, and I substitute my own.".

Ant is so grounded in reality it is refreshing. Dopie on the other hand lives in his own world where history is rewritten daily but he always ends up the Marter for the masses. If it wasn't so pathetic, it really would be sad.

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

20 plus years of a radio show, I never once remember Opie contributing anything when Ant and Jimmy were talking about any real topics, especially politics.

[@johnbroski1993]

[@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?
