Opie's Bizarre HR Meltdown Recalled After SiriusXM Firing
Opie was fired from SiriusXM for filming a coworker and showing it to people, then told HR 'none of this is real' during the termination meeting.
The podcast revisited the circumstances of Opie's firing from SiriusXM, revealing it wasn't just about low ratings but about an egregious workplace incident. Opie allegedly filmed a coworker — described as 'Roland, he's so fat' — and then showed the video to people around the office. When the coworker complained, Opie's defense was surreal: 'I thought everyone was joking around. It's not even real.' The hosts mocked Opie's behavior during the HR meeting, imagining him showing the video to HR staff as though it were still his radio show. 'This is not your radio show. You're in the human resources department right now and you're fired,' one host quipped. Opie reportedly continued insisting the situation wasn't real, saying 'But I'm dreaming. This is a dream, right? Because none of this is real.' The hosts noted that Opie has to try to justify his firing by pretending it didn't really happen: 'Whatever the reasoning, it happened, buddy.'
