[@user-up1us9jf1o]

It’s 100% true. That’s why Opie runs a (seemingly) successful media company out of a studio in Manhattan while Ant is ranting on his cel phone to double digit Facebook viewers…..oh wait.

Opie was annoying and all ant ever did when he had the mic was whine about politics, black people and consent laws. I listened for the cellar crowd, not the hack radio host or the whiny rascist

[@HypeX.W]

His conversations with Patrice o'neal made them both great

[@Janzer_]

What made Patrice better was that he had the ability to change his mind, and sometimes did. Anthony is definitely more of a baby when it comes to arguing. Together they were entertaining. Meanwhile Opie... "I love the patreeky"... ugh...

[@oyvey1155]

@@Janzer_ no patrice would literally misinterpret how statistics, namely per capita ratios, worked and argued from the most flimsy grouns (folding a $20 to make it look like the twin towers) anthony was funny but also he was right every time. Shocker that a brown guy would call anthony a baby just because he was the one white person in media who would talk about the negative things that POCLATINXAFROAMERICANS do and do at higher rates than "evil whitey".

[@brucebigg919]

The "held hostage" line was very telling. He will never admit it, but deep in his heart, Opie knows he contributed very little and had no power over Ant and Jim. Opie longed for the days when Ant was new to radio and was just happy to be along for the ride.

[@IvanDaniel28]

did we just become best friends??

[@hippa2dahoppa2]

hes admitted it many time. he said it wasnt "his" show anymore. or his creation. which is completely selfish of him. he could of joined in on those topics but chose not to. as much as people hate on opie he did have some funny jokes time to time. it use to baffle me why he would feel like he wasnt part of the convo and zone out or move on instead of riffing back and forth. his mental health issues he couldnt handle ball busting overload. or he would make guests wait outside for hours because he knew once theyd come in he would be useless. but him being useless is his own fault. i really think he had the ability to be entertaining and decided to opt out after all his stupid fucking therapy

[@sskoog]

I think, when he (Opie) said "made me wallpaper on my own radio show," he let slip a whole bunch of pent-up issues. There are, like, three or four different things to unpack in that eight-word utterance.

[@douggieharrison6913]

It's funny cause when he argued with Jimmy he was saying he didnt feel like he was being held hostage. He told Jimmy to quit cause he felt comfortable then 3 seconds later said he felt uncomfortable and trapped 😂😂

You can’t be mad when other people are in the room talking about things you don’t know much about, and then never try to learn more about them.

[@BigJay703]

The thing about being a man who is as insecure as Opie is/was, is that because you are living your life for the validation of others you don't develop any interests. And if you don't develop any interests you don't develop any skills, which means you don't develop into a man. So if Opie didn't give a shit about politics or was bored by it, right on that's cool. Talk about what you're into. But Opie couldn't do that because A) He's not compelling to listen to because he is incapable of forming an independent opinion B) You have add in low IQ to the mental health issues C) He has no interests. Literally none.

[@whahappend8222]

As someone who disagrees with Ant politically not once was I ever alienated by anything he said. If anything Anthony was really good at joking around with people he thought held terrible political views, and he was capable of self deprecation and laughing at himself when Jimmy or Patrice pushed back Meanwhile Opie was the guy saying stuff like "What a sparkling wiggle" as many times as he could in a span of 5 minutes or calling people shwoogies with zero laughs had.

[@hippa2dahoppa2]

are you a lizard?

[@Robb1977]

I feel like ant, while racist, is much more accepting and loving than opie. Opie always struck me as the insidious racist who feels threatened by other races to the point where he needs to make it publicly known that hes not racist by making a lighthearted racist joke... except he cant make lighthearted jokes, and he repeats it 25 times so any pity laugh he may have got from people who understand he was just nervous is completely gone and people start to wonder if hes just thinking out loud. "i thought she was an hola" stands out to me because 1: he was just assuming a waitress was Hispanic. 2: he felt that "hola" would be a funny/appropriate thing to call her on his peace and love show. 3: he said it in a whisper multiple times behind her back until even his friends got weirded out.
