Classic Opie & Anthony: Jim Breuer's Pizza Man Saga (12/03/09-05/17/12)

[@91072craigster]

"Jim, can you do a show at my pizza place?" "What am I, Rich Vos?" "Vos had to send a tape!"

[@DGF2099]

Knowing Vos, he sent the jeri kurl tape

[@MrMet2087]

And talentless, unfunny Opie contributes “take that stupid!” Unable to come up with something actually funny.

[@MelBee128]

This came up again in news in 2015 because the dude violated the no contact order and pled guilty to harassment. Judge said he was very disturbed by Pizza Man's behavior and felt that he had "come unhinged." Sentenced to 5 years probation and has to surrender his guns. His attorney asked if Pizza Man could use his friend's rifles to go hunting and the incredulous judge said it was no hardship not to be able to hunt and said no. Said that any guns in this man's possession could lead to trouble. The Pizza Man said that the feud would never be over because Breuer had publicly shamed him on (you guessed it) the Opie and Anthony show. Honor is a big thing with Italians but Breuer told judge he discussed on O&A because he hoped it would be a deterrent for this guy. It wasn't.

Honor? They talk about it but most don’t live up to it. My wife is Italian and her dad is cool, but this whole machismo thing among Latin and Italian men is bullshit and exists because they are usually manlets with napoleon syndrome like pizza man.

[@gspendlove]

Whenever I think of Joe Ionfrida (a.k.a. Pizza Man), I'm reminded of a line from Stephen King's _Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption_: "Most cons are a low sort, no good to themselves or anyone else, and their worst luck was that their mothers carried them to term."

They are really fed up with this jerkoff, but they have to show up every time he calls. The last time he called was because my dog was outside in my yard. The dog was on a fixed lead, totally legal.
