Opie Openly Admits Bitter Jealousy Toward Howard Stern
Opie candidly confesses his bitterness and jealousy toward Howard Stern, comparing it to sweat dripping off a Chipotle kitchen worker.
When the conversation shifted to Howard Stern, Opie was remarkably candid about his feelings. "I'm a bitter, dare I say, older gentleman. So, sure, you could see the bitterness dripping off me, the jealousy dripping off my forehead like I work at a Chipotle in the back kitchen," he admitted. Opie reflected on witnessing Stern's tantrums firsthand during their time together, saying that he and Anthony would look at each other bewildered, thinking: "This is just fun. This isn't even real. This isn't even a real job. Why is he so bent out of shape?" The hosts noted that Opie still views himself as a rival to Stern, believing he's doing things right while Howard is not — a dynamic that apparently still fuels Opie's resentment years after their radio careers diverged.
