Esther Ku’s constant unsuccessful and completely unacknowledged attempts to inject humour as Opie and Jimmy’s relationship implodes in front of her are GOLD
Jim is not innocent in all of this. He's a worm and so selfish. He absolutely pushed to continue the show without Ant instead of giving the bosses an ultimatum, he never considered going with Ant because it would initially be less money. He was happy to sit there all those years like Ant and pretend everything was fine, they would enable opies crap. Just look how he turned on louis ck despite admitting to way worse than he did on the show, there's audio of him admitting to pulling his penis out on women and that's just the surface. The guys whole personality and mannerisms are just absorbed from his friends, there is nothing authentic about jim norton.
Just highlights the difference in demeanor, professionalism, and intelligence between the two. Jim and Anthony are far from perfect, but just listening to this you can tell that Opie refuses to take any real responsibility for his role played in the downfall of his and Anthony and his and Jim's on-air and personal relationships. I used to give Opie the benefit of the doubt, but when EVERYONE you used to work with doesn't like you and you still refuse to take responsibility for your role in things? That's next level narcissism and arrogance.
Being able to do the show doesn't mean it wasn't over. Right or wrong, Opie didn't enjoy what the show had become. There are many duos that can work together very well, but hate doing it.
It wasn't done at all. Opie just wasn't having fun because the guys weren't going along with his boring outdated "comedy" bits. He wanted to do something lame and corny like modern howard stern. Opies a big time wannabe
@@matthewatwood8641 I take it for granted a lot then those rare times she gets like that I get extremely frustrated and it occurs to me how patient and reasonable she is for a woman, and I calm down and talk her out of it. It's amazing. After seeing what some of my friends, dad, people like Ant, etc, go through, I really am blessed.
The fact that Opie thought that dividing the show up would be in anyway beneficial to him is so hilarious and perfectly displays his astounding lack of self-awareness.
Opie just wants a meaningless show, where the guests and callers provide the actual content.......Anthony is an open book, who gave his real opinions and views, on any given subject. Opie never ever gave a controversial opinion about anything ever, he just wants to sit back and let everyone else do all the heavy lifting entertainment wise.
We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had Anthony. We had a show. We had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork. You could’ve shut your mouth, taken calls, and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But, no, you just had to blow it up. You and your pride and your ego! You just had to be the man. If you’d done your job, known your place, we’d all be fine right now!
You can hear it in Jim's reaction that he was really hurt when Opie said they werent close. They'd only been working closely together for almost 20 years
"I can't wait until October that's just ridiculous." "Well I'm not quitting so are you gonna fire me?" "What like I fired everyone else? I'm just asking. Why would I do that? " "No, because you said you can't wait until October"
Can you imagine the unbearable ear beatings Opie is giving his family on a daily basis? I can't even imagine the amount of justification & validation he seeks from his wife or friends... Err, wife I guess lmao
He says Jim and he: “aren’t that close” in one breath and in the next, says: “we’re pretty close, we’ve been together 20 years, you should’ve chimed in when I cried on air”
Opie says, "I'm really upset that you don't know what was going on", and then in the same breath he says, "I kept a lot of what was going on from you because you feel like you're in the middle". He is a maniac.
Opie created the show. Then it overgrew him. To the point where not only he was not contributing, he was hindering the show. He became aware of it and it made him isolated and resentful. “I’ve been doing radio since I was 18” but can’t generate any kind of success on his own.
this is how i felt when i was listening. jimmy and anthony were on a different level than opie. and when anthony and jimmy would start to go off and kill it on air, opie would resort to being annoying and this passive aggressive bs. jimmy and anthony know what it's like to scrap and claw in the real world.
During the early years of O and A, Opie ran the show. He planned what they did, spoke about, booked as guests, etc. Anthony was just the guy who was happy to be there. As time went on, Anthony out grew the need for Opie. It wasn't just Opie setting Anthony up and saying "go" anymore.
Opie could have satisfied himself being the on-air producer: intro the topics, prompt the discussion, wrangle the off-air staff, but most importantly, get out of the way of the talent. Conduct the interviews, if he liked. But he couldn't stomach not being the talent, even if his name was on the billboards and he was paid as much as (or more than?) everyone else. We could have had several years of the Jim and Ant show with Opie being the mostly-unheard conductor, and they'd all be making millions. Instead, this charmless cretin dynamited the goldmine he was sitting on.
Holy spit batman me too. It was awful wasn't it. I've been stabbed in dreams and woke up feeling better. I'm dead serious don't fall asleep people to this.
@christ1313 I don't know how anyone can like Anthony, and not Jim Norton. To me, there's nothing funnier than those two together, except for maybe Patrice.
@christ1313 yea they talked about that, that opies role was always keeping the show moving in a direction. I feel like when opie had a kid is when it really turned
Shows. Hes so bad. So much so he cant handle brutal honesty either he needs to be in control of assessments. So telling when he he felt like the show was over because he saw jimmy and ant having fun. So telling of how he uses his assumptions to build whole bullshit scenarios in his head. He was riddled with resentment, true to form he only admits to a little. His whole threating to end the show back in the day makes sense now. Poor bastard.
Remember when he had this big moment and finally said the truth about what he thought about Anthony and told Jimmy “I really needed you there with me that day”. Next episode; “We’re not close”.
"I'm not maaaaad" "It's not important"" "that's fiiiinneeee" "Let it gooo" "We're just not that close" make these high-pitched sounding and repeat them at least 10million times and you too can be like Opie!
It really is ridiculous. Jimmy already has to pretend opie is in the same comedic universe as him (while making probably a quarter what he makes), but then he has to deal with his passive aggressive horseshit (that literally has never worked on anyone with a brain cell)
Norton is not big on booksmarts, same as all the other regulars from O&A to be honest, but he clearly has a very quick and sharp mind. His jokes and comments are lightning fast and spot on almost always. It was always so strange when something related to basic science came up on the show. Nobody in the studio could do even very basic maths, but they could reference movies flawlessly all day and with total clarity and accuracy.
Not all are good at arguing. Some are not even funny in interviews and don't even try to be because they're not good off the cuff. But Norton has always been awesome going up against people, especially on tough crowd.
Jimmy's lived up to his namesake. Jim = James. The meaning of James is the supplanter. A supplanter is someone who takes the place of someone else who was there first.
@@airforcemarkmgnot really this was just 1 guy's inability to read the room and wonders why nobody likes him. If I were I would've dipped if things are that on edge.
I can't be the only person who listens to old O&A clips and gets super pissed off at how shit Opie is, before realizing that the audio is a decade old I need to get a life.
I never really noticed when it would be brought up back in the day when it was live but its so obvious now. I concur on your 2 points that he's enraging to listen to and also that you need a life. Trust me i can smell my own kind.
hes wasnt to bad on the old shows, i hated when he would make guests wait and i hated when he wanted to move on from a topic that was clearly funny and could keep going. other then that he let alot of callers make fun of him and made fun of himself alot. his good days were pretty good and he did have some good jokes. his stories were awfull though. i havent listened to him since he put dl hugley on the show when jimmy clearly didnt want dl hughley on. i thought that was a super shitty thing to do and havent looked at anything opie has done since
@@hippa2dahoppa2 good thing about that is you can still listen to every other great piece of the O n A show being almost everyone gets along and do shows with each other here and there with no worry that the opster pops in. The guy that did radio since he was 18 cant do good enough to keep a job in radio while comedians and tin knockers have succeeded. Must be the chemistry...
You think Opie is a "good guy"? I think he's an unfunny, uninteresting passive aggressive POS. I would love to hear some of his shows from before he met Anthony.
Opie thought he was a bigger draw than the real comedians. He found out that he wasn't...multimillion dollar lesson. Hats off to the guest when she said Opie should go take a bong hit.
"I'm not gonna talk about it, but I'll tell everyone I don't wanna talk about it and then sulk for the next 2 minutes, sucking all the fun out of the room and make it all about me while making everyone else feel miserable."
Listening to this in 2023 and knowing that you were right all along. Greg is a baby, delusional and is extremely manipulative and Jim is solid as a rock!
@DukeSilverRS Norton would have been better served focusing only on stand-up, I'm not a fan of his "characters". This radio format is built on the misery of others; also see Howard Stern.
@@MasterEm243 Let’s be real - Ant and Jim are LIGHT YEARS ahead of where Opie landed. And their unfavorables are sky high (ugly faces, ugly lifestyles, Ant’s prof track record). And even with all that privilege, Greg isn’t even marginally relevant. His YT views just depressing AF
Opie's logic: "I don't trust you Jim, we aren't close; but when I tell you that Ant did some horrendous shit behind the scenes, I not only expect you to blindly trust me with no further information, but I am actually mad that you don't already know the shit that I am pulling out of my ass on the spot."
And "I also expect you to be pissed off at Anthony for the horrendous shit he's said and done about me, despite the fact that we're not close enough to even discuss said shit...."
He’s simply a guy that resented the fact that Jim wouldn’t join him in blackballing Anthony and essentially being a shitty friend (Jim and Ant were clearly still friends). He’s a guy that couldn’t stand how the show wasn’t good anymore because Anthony wasn’t there. Jimmy handled it masterfully. He could’ve gone way harder at Opie but didn’t.
Esther sharing that she'd gone on Anthony's show the day before, On Air, may have been the most genius in _triggernomics_ thing anyone's ever done, intentionally or not.
I laughed at we aren't close enough for me to inform you on the situation that involves you too but let me ask this chick about her religion and family
@@williamhale1995 Because none of that was true, it was his simple, dimwitted defence after the accusations and narrative of "opie has no loyalty" were in effect, so he like a little kid resorted to *"HE'S DONE PLENTY OF MEAN STUFF FIRST! I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THEY, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO EVERYONE FOR 15 YEARS!"*
Without jim norton , the O and A show would never have gotten to the next level. All his comedy buddies ( ck, vos, Patrice, Bobby, etc, etc) blew that shit up. Opie is a little man.
@@Dougdenslowe714 yeah but opie was a glorified handler, he made sure that they were kept on topic or made sure callers were able to actually be heard. He really had very little charisma to speak off, he was very replaceable
I was a little wrapped up in disliking Opie for being so instrumental in tearing the show apart, but then I read this comment and it put things in perspective. The world was righting itself when it put Opie where he is now.
Yes I agree, hearing this narcissistic spoiled brat argue his passive aggressive non-statements, like "Anthony, he's done some shady things in the past, I'm not allowed to say what, but he's done shady things" Jim says it best: "You say odd things to people dude.."
"I DEVELOPED THIS WHOLE FAWKING THING!" Opie's goal in an argument is not to come to an understanding but rather to loudly proclaim that nothing is his fault and then gaslight the other person into oblivion
It's funny how through the years he went on and on and on about his selfish mad mother... then you hear this... kinda seems like a pot/kettle situation
@@jackburton3701 I wonder if its inherited or if its learned behavior. Trauma to young kids can sometimes cause people to express npd,bpd traits without being full on narcissist or borderlines as they grow up.
Imagine a dude you’ve been working with for 15 years going “Hey man your best friend did some insanely fucked up shit” and then not telling them at all. It’s almost like he made it up lmao
To be fair, it came out after Opir was fired that Jim and Anthony talked all kinds of shit behind Opie's back. Anthony admits that he was texting Jimmy the day he called Opie a cunt. I can understand why Opie wouldn't talk to Jim about certain things, but that is exactly why they should have parted ways after Anthony was fired. Jim hated working with Opie long before Anthony was gone, but he didn't realize how much he hated it until Anthony wasn't there. The only reason Jim stayed with Opie was because he wanted the steady pay check.
I will be fair, if he’s talking about the stuff around Cumia that’s now pretty common knowledge, I could see him at least not wanting to discuss it on air. But he should’ve looped Jim in. If I was paling around with a guy, I’d want to know if he was involved in some crazy bad stuff
In a way he did make it up. Ant's talked about how Opie sees the world thru a completely different lens than everyone else. They would experience something together and Opie's reporting/understanding of it was totally wrong and/or insane. He did the same with Ant's comments post break up. When Ant talked about the thing with Opie's wife's sex tape and said "I'll let the internet speculate on that", what he meant is, THAT'S what the internet does - obsesses on rumors and ridiculous stories. Opie heard what he wanted to hear. He's obsessed with that dumb story, and he LOOKS for reasons to sperg out over it. If THAT'S his best example of "the terrible things Ant did after the break up", then Opie's even crazier than everyone thinks. I've always thought Opie has Asperger's or autism - he has a ton of the characteristics. The main one is that he's always totally out of step with the rest of the room.
"So you're not going to the Patrice benefit?" That hurt my soul. It really, really hurt my soul. He was crushed thinking about Opie not going to support Patrice and his family because of stupid shit. Jim was right to criticize Opie here.
Jim you were a class act. You handled this directly without being passive aggressive. Opie kept skirting every issue and attempted circular thinking without any success. ** Bravo**
On repeat listenings you can really hear Jim's chess playing muscles come into play here. I've listened to this about 7-8 times. Jim is a brilliant mind and always comes from a place of logic. He gives Opie small victories and then decimates him verbally with a bigger move. It's really something to behold.
Absolutely. I admire the way he confronts him. It’s a shame Opie is such a terrible person who consistently derailed the legendary comics in the room to put his need for attention above his job and I for one am having a wonderful time watching him writhe in this current personal hell he’s carved out for himself. If he never met Anthony he’d be managing a Rite Aid right now.
Opie is ultimately wrong so his excuses are really weak and can all be grouped together as "fallacious arguments." Jim lets Opie win his fallacious argument so he can come back and bring up the main point yet again. Opie is a cluster-B personality type, they are the worst to talk to, very energy draining to deal with them.
Ant was just appreciative of the fact he was doing radio and didn’t have to do construction anymore. He did everything in his power to keep the show from going down over the years to avoid going back to his old career.
Lol, yeah, he pulls it back FOUR times then when they finally give in, within 10 seconds he's acting like he didn't want to talk about it and he's pissed at them for bringing it up. He reminds me of my ex.
it wasn't anything super dark, he just thought that anthony was manipulating fans to hate him via social media and making fake accounts just to smear him. he thought anthony was a sith lord
Opie is extremely bitter because Anthony is making it. When Ant was first fired, Opie was beaming with joy, now his jealousy is getting the best of him
C Mazz Sr you know he was ecstatic to have "his show" back, he lied about "talking to anthony constantly" clearly happy that Anthony was gone, but when ants network became super successful and Opies "haters" started killing him, he panicked, tried to tell himself that he was the talent, gets fired and still blames everyone else.
I never hated or disliked Opie. But I quickly realized how unfunny he was after Anthony left. When it was just him and Norton you could feel how Norton was carrying the show. I think Opie realized that too.
Jim is one of the smartest, sharpest comedic minds of all time. Opie has no fucking clue how fast and easily Jim could destroy him if he wasn't holding back.
People say this but I genuinely don't get it. Just my opinion but he's not even funny, he just says the most vulgar/mean shit he can think of and usually there's not even a punchline to it. He's an unlikeable deviant. I respect him to an extent but...damn, people really cowgirl him.
@@intercoursehandguns851 I agree. I have laughed at him occasionally, but the vulgar shit doesn’t hit for me. One of those comics I just don’t seek out.
My heart sank for him😣😔I felt so bad! That was such a shitty thing to say to Jimmy! I feel like Jimmy would be awesome to know! Seems like a great guy...
Scott Ant and Jimmy have the best chemistry and Opie just was the odd man out and wasn’t funny. O and A lost there chemistry. Opster couldn’t handle it.
@@ScottsOnTheRottenCotton Opie was constantly lying in this clip, you can hear it in his voice, hes changing what the arguments about to suit his story
O: "I needed you on the air jimmy, I felt like you didn't support me" N: I talked to you off air. O: "No one cares about off air, I need your support on air. On air matters." N: i didn't feel like I should interject in this discussion that you were having on air. Actually I'm glad it was happening on air-" O: "who cares if it was on air? Why does it need to be on air? What's the significance of it being on air?" That is a condemned mind at work right there holy fuck. A 180° in the span of 4 seconds. How do people get like this?
He was talking about two separate issues. 1) Jimmy talking to him on air 2) His relationship with Ant, on-air vs. off air. He felt like it had been aired out. Pardon the pun.
The guy is fully insane. He's such a textbook narcissist. Just knows he wants everybody to feel sorry for him and tell him he's right and he's a victim, regardless of going through an hour long conversation about how that's irrational and everything he's saying is contradictory to the last thing he said. He started off explaining how he and Jim aren't close, then it's how bad he felt because Jimmy didn't say exactly what he wanted to hear at a specific time, despite that he doesn't have a clue what he wanted Jim to say. This is a literal masterclass narcissistic delusion.
when conversations becomes more about winning and less about reaching a mutual understanding, people will say absolutely anything they feel is relevant whether they believe it or not. great example right here
@@wehavetowakeup2049 it's also a word in the English language which means (amongst other definitions), "-used to emphasize the truth and accuracy of a statement or description". I agree the word is used incorrectly far too often. But I meant it as I said it, without hyperbole.
Girl: I was on Anthony's show.....is that ok? Opie: Of course it's ok, why wouldn't it be ok? Shouldn't it be ok? OK? I'm ok? Anthony's ok? I mean, he's not ok, but he's ok with me. Well, he's not ok with me and I'm not ok with him, but we don't talk. He did some things. Said some things. Said not nice things.. Shitty things. He's a shithead. I hate him for ever and ever and ever. But I don't want to talk about it. Not with you Jimmy, because we're not close. I'm very upset, but I don't want to talk about anything. I'm going to sit here quietly. On a radio talkshow.
I like Bill and all but he gets to upset with any type of racial joke, i just watches a clip of him berrating anthony for saying a joke, it was kind of a bad joke lol.. But bill went in on him for a long time and its just like come on dude.... We all know just let it go
@@ryanr4361 Especially when they do it ON THE AIR I'd be very uncomfortable having an argument with someone with just a few other people around to hear it. I can't imagine doing it on the radio like that.
Jim points out something that Opie does which is abusive and makes Jim feel very uncomfortable, and Opie’s response is to then say it’s Jim’s fault for being around him. No apology, not a hint of an attempt to understand what Jim just said, he just puts it right back on Jimmy as though it’s his fault for feeling uncomfortable. It’s absolutely insane and despicable.
If you run into one asshole then you just ran into one asshole, if EVERYONE around you is one, you might be the asshole .

Opie created the show. Then it overgrew him. To the point where not only he was not contributing, he was hindering the show. He became aware of it and it made him isolated and resentful. “I’ve been doing radio since I was 18” but can’t generate any kind of success on his own.
this is how i felt when i was listening. jimmy and anthony were on a different level than opie. and when anthony and jimmy would start to go off and kill it on air, opie would resort to being annoying and this passive aggressive bs. jimmy and anthony know what it's like to scrap and claw in the real world.
During the early years of O and A, Opie ran the show. He planned what they did, spoke about, booked as guests, etc. Anthony was just the guy who was happy to be there. As time went on, Anthony out grew the need for Opie. It wasn't just Opie setting Anthony up and saying "go" anymore.
And all Opie had to do was follow thru with his idea of “franchising the show” and he’d still be raking in millions a year
This is the best way I’ve seen this put!
Opie could have satisfied himself being the on-air producer: intro the topics, prompt the discussion, wrangle the off-air staff, but most importantly, get out of the way of the talent. Conduct the interviews, if he liked. But he couldn't stomach not being the talent, even if his name was on the billboards and he was paid as much as (or more than?) everyone else.
We could have had several years of the Jim and Ant show with Opie being the mostly-unheard conductor, and they'd all be making millions. Instead, this charmless cretin dynamited the goldmine he was sitting on.
Opie: "dont say UGH"
Jimmy: "Im GONNA say UGH"
LOL

I KNOW HOW TO DO RAY-DEE-OHHH
Patrice taught Jim well with the “Ugh” 😂

It's because he has a pussy betwixt his legs.

Shows. Hes so bad.
So much so he cant handle brutal honesty either he needs to be in control of assessments.
So telling when he he felt like the show was over because he saw jimmy and ant having fun.
So telling of how he uses his assumptions to build whole bullshit scenarios in his head. He was riddled with resentment, true to form he only admits to a little.
His whole threating to end the show back in the day makes sense now. Poor bastard.
opie: we're not that close
also opie: why didnt you say anything when i was crying
That would of been such a great response from Jim if he said hey we’re not that close

Edit: hold up, that is a really good summary of this whole thing.
Remember when he had this big moment and finally said the truth about what he thought about Anthony and told Jimmy “I really needed you there with me that day”. Next episode; “We’re not close”.

"It's not important""

You clearly have listened to Opie for a long time to be able to pinpoint his annoying mannerisms so perfectly
Listening to this years later. Opie is a very emotional guy. It’s almost like he needed public displays of affection from Ant and Jim.

@@stoneycarter6429 who is?
It really is ridiculous. Jimmy already has to pretend opie is in the same comedic universe as him (while making probably a quarter what he makes), but then he has to deal with his passive aggressive horseshit (that literally has never worked on anyone with a brain cell)
Norton is surprisingly good at arguing. All those years of weird relationships made him very quick.
CatnamedMittens most comedians are great arguers. Also opie is horrifically bad at it.
Norton is not big on booksmarts, same as all the other regulars from O&A to be honest, but he clearly has a very quick and sharp mind. His jokes and comments are lightning fast and spot on almost always.
It was always so strange when something related to basic science came up on the show. Nobody in the studio could do even very basic maths, but they could reference movies flawlessly all day and with total clarity and accuracy.
Not all are good at arguing. Some are not even funny in interviews and don't even try to be because they're not good off the cuff. But Norton has always been awesome going up against people, especially on tough crowd.

hes wasnt to bad on the old shows, i hated when he would make guests wait and i hated when he wanted to move on from a topic that was clearly funny and could keep going. other then that he let alot of callers make fun of him and made fun of himself alot. his good days were pretty good and he did have some good jokes. his stories were awfull though. i havent listened to him since he put dl hugley on the show when jimmy clearly didnt want dl hughley on. i thought that was a super shitty thing to do and havent looked at anything opie has done since

Opie's logic: "I don't trust you Jim, we aren't close; but when I tell you that Ant did some horrendous shit behind the scenes, I not only expect you to blindly trust me with no further information, but I am actually mad that you don't already know the shit that I am pulling out of my ass on the spot."

To be fair, it came out after Opir was fired that Jim and Anthony talked all kinds of shit behind Opie's back. Anthony admits that he was texting Jimmy the day he called Opie a cunt. I can understand why Opie wouldn't talk to Jim about certain things, but that is exactly why they should have parted ways after Anthony was fired.
Jim hated working with Opie long before Anthony was gone, but he didn't realize how much he hated it until Anthony wasn't there. The only reason Jim stayed with Opie was because he wanted the steady pay check.

In a way he did make it up. Ant's talked about how Opie sees the world thru a completely different lens than everyone else. They would experience something together and Opie's reporting/understanding of it was totally wrong and/or insane. He did the same with Ant's comments post break up. When Ant talked about the thing with Opie's wife's sex tape and said "I'll let the internet speculate on that", what he meant is, THAT'S what the internet does - obsesses on rumors and ridiculous stories. Opie heard what he wanted to hear. He's obsessed with that dumb story, and he LOOKS for reasons to sperg out over it. If THAT'S his best example of "the terrible things Ant did after the break up", then Opie's even crazier than everyone thinks. I've always thought Opie has Asperger's or autism - he has a ton of the characteristics. The main one is that he's always totally out of step with the rest of the room.

Opie is ultimately wrong so his excuses are really weak and can all be grouped together as "fallacious arguments." Jim lets Opie win his fallacious argument so he can come back and bring up the main point yet again.

My heart sank for him😣😔I felt so bad! That was such a shitty thing to say to Jimmy! I feel like Jimmy would be awesome to know! Seems like a great guy...
Scott Ant and Jimmy have the best chemistry and Opie just was the odd man out and wasn’t funny. O and A lost there chemistry. Opster couldn’t handle it.
@@ScottsOnTheRottenCotton Opie was constantly lying in this clip, you can hear it in his voice, hes changing what the arguments about to suit his story
Opie proved his majestic talent. He got fired from his own show and replaced by the guy who was the backup
O: "I needed you on the air jimmy, I felt like you didn't support me"
N: I talked to you off air.
O: "No one cares about off air, I need your support on air. On air matters."
N: i didn't feel like I should interject in this discussion that you were having on air. Actually I'm glad it was happening on air-"
O: "who cares if it was on air? Why does it need to be on air? What's the significance of it being on air?"
That is a condemned mind at work right there holy fuck. A 180° in the span of 4 seconds. How do people get like this?
He was talking about two separate issues.
1) Jimmy talking to him on air
2) His relationship with Ant, on-air vs. off air. He felt like it had been aired out. Pardon the pun.
The guy is fully insane. He's such a textbook narcissist. Just knows he wants everybody to feel sorry for him and tell him he's right and he's a victim, regardless of going through an hour long conversation about how that's irrational and everything he's saying is contradictory to the last thing he said.
He started off explaining how he and Jim aren't close, then it's how bad he felt because Jimmy didn't say exactly what he wanted to hear at a specific time, despite that he doesn't have a clue what he wanted Jim to say. This is a literal masterclass narcissistic delusion.
when conversations becomes more about winning and less about reaching a mutual understanding, people will say absolutely anything they feel is relevant whether they believe it or not. great example right here
This is literally the most awkward moment in radio. Opie is the worst
"literally" ?
@@JimA-pp2nu yeah, I think so.
Jim A at least he didn’t say “like”
Opie ain't shit without Anthony or Jimmy.
@@wehavetowakeup2049 it's also a word in the English language which means (amongst other definitions), "-used to emphasize the truth and accuracy of a statement or description".
I agree the word is used incorrectly far too often. But I meant it as I said it, without hyperbole.
Opie argues EXACTLY like my girlfriend at her cuntest.
Did she pass it?
@@LucOfTheBind ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Yeah he was. It says a lot when almost/if not everyone distances themselves from Opie. They ALL can't be the problem...
Sir! Cuntiest. Excuse yourself
@@kennyc9662 may god forgive my poor soul
I love how Esther will always be best known foe the best radio fight in history
Hilarious that Dopey keeps saying "when you do a radio show..." like Jim hasn't been there for 15 years himself.
@RABBI Shekel shut up u fucking loser
Dopey?! Wow, did you come up with that all on your own? That’s amazing! How do you do it?
@@TL2354 is this dopie? Sounds like something he'd say
Since I was 18!!
@@TL2354Hey Opie
Girl: I was on Anthony's show.....is that ok?
Opie: Of course it's ok, why wouldn't it be ok? Shouldn't it be ok? OK? I'm ok? Anthony's ok? I mean, he's not ok, but he's ok with me. Well, he's not ok with me and I'm not ok with him, but we don't talk. He did some things. Said some things. Said not nice things.. Shitty things. He's a shithead. I hate him for ever and ever and ever.
But I don't want to talk about it. Not with you Jimmy, because we're not close. I'm very upset, but I don't want to talk about anything. I'm going to sit here quietly. On a radio talkshow.
Laugh out loud funny. Brilliant.
Opie is one of the most hateable people of all time. He deserves to just dwindle in his insecurities and fleeting relevancy.
you just broke down the entire video in one comment....nice 👍
Reading it made me realize Oppie sounds a lot like Trump
GenesisJiJi
Nothing like him. Good try. Opposite.
When you wish Bill Burr and Patrice O Neal were there
Can you imagine Jim Jefferies being silent during this bullshit though?
@@YortOK where did Jeffries name come from? Dude is fake as hell, he would most definitely just sit there
yortko1 Jeffries a left wing shill who doesn’t speak any truth
I like Bill and all but he gets to upset with any type of racial joke, i just watches a clip of him berrating anthony for saying a joke, it was kind of a bad joke lol.. But bill went in on him for a long time and its just like come on dude.... We all know just let it go
I hope Anthony listened to this live, like he was cheering for his favorite sports team
The guest chiming in every now and then is perfect comic relief.
I like how the girl chimes in an says “you guys is this a real fight” ? Lmao
I relate to that. Im so non-confrontational that I assume when people are passionately fighting it cant be real haha
@@ryanr4361 Especially when they do it ON THE AIR
I'd be very uncomfortable having an argument with someone with just a few other people around to hear it. I can't imagine doing it on the radio like that.
it's their 4play
She delivers it like a true hole too
How do you not love Esther Ku?She is a f*ng dog.
Jim points out something that Opie does which is abusive and makes Jim feel very uncomfortable, and Opie’s response is to then say it’s Jim’s fault for being around him. No apology, not a hint of an attempt to understand what Jim just said, he just puts it right back on Jimmy as though it’s his fault for feeling uncomfortable.
It’s absolutely insane and despicable.
It’s called gaslighting
Yep. Opie is a classic narcissist. His way of communicating is typical of narcissists.
He can’t be a narcissist he’s married with kids. However Stern is def a narcissist even though he’s married with kids.
@@johnochiltree1170 It's blame shifting, not gaslighting.
@@user-up1us9jf1oyou can be married and be a narcissist
Yes I'm back here listening to this again in 2022 don't judge me
