Opie Mocked for Claiming to Be 'Proud' of Jim Florentine
Opie saying he's 'proud and happy for Florentine' draws immediate mockery, with a co-host asking 'Is it your place to be proud?'
During a discussion about Jim Florentine's successful comedy circuit run, Opie declared 'I'm proud and happy for Florentine,' which immediately drew pushback. A co-host pointedly asked, 'Is it your place to be proud?' The exchange was called 'such a bizarre exchange.' The conversation also revealed that Opie's so-called 'friends' like Jim Jeff and Florentine aren't actually friends at all. One host clarified: 'Those are not friends. Those are colleagues, former colleagues that are still tolerate you or are still nice to you.' Florentine is described as 'a friend of every show in the dabble verse, even though he wants nothing to do with it,' painting a picture of a comic who is universally liked but perhaps not as closely tied to Opie as Opie would like to believe.
