Hilarious when you re-listen to this and are aware how Anthony sent an iPad to a 40 something year old man thinking it was a 14 year old girl.
Richard Johnson did they discuss that on the show. Id love to give it a listen.
@@johnnyappleseed4492 Nah I think that has come up through malicious ex-fan pests...probably catfished him...they've pretty much turned on everyone on the show by now
Was she hot?
@Sock Cucka rogue pests are very real, you see them everywhere. I didn't speak on the truth of that ipad shit tho
He legitimately sent an IPad knowingly to “someone” pretending to be a 14 old girl? Bulls**t, that’s grooming.
Opie scammed the listener every day he went to work and the company every time he collected a paycheck
Yeah it feels bad to know that someone just as boring as yourself can find funny people and ride on their coattails.
Leave it Alone
You don't think he ever had any talent?
@@bobobandy9382 define talent?

I love the stock picture of the old lady and the glasses. It couldn’t be more perfect.
The thumbnail is so accurate you can hear it.
Ya kiddin'!
It’s one of the most memorable images I’d ever seen on the internet, lol
I wonder if the $5,000 I sent to the IRS in Walmart gift cards was a scam.
Of course not ! By the way can you send me 10 thousand dollars in Target gift cards, I promise you will make 50 thousand in one week !!!
Sound good ......buddy .......👍😜
Am I the only person who received the $10,000,000?
If Nigeria was blown up by a giant meteor, the world would loose nothing of value.
***** Huh. I just noticed I keep seeing you on almost every O&A video I've watched this week.
Chinua Achebe was the father of the modern African literature. Things Fall Apart? with the yams? He's dead but his grave is there and it's fresh.
Gordon is in love.
Alot of oil would be lost

Boko Haram association for the advancement of colored people (BHAACP)
over 30 million served customers
You spelled Africa wrong.
That old lady in the thumbnail is the very personation of "Whaat happen?"
Bahahaha
2006 bro. Sheesshh.
Time seriously flies by.
The thumbnail is perfect. It’s the quintessential “confused old granny”.
About a year ago I got a phone call from someone I assume was Nigerian (couldn't place the accent) claiming to be from Microsoft, informing me that they, Microsoft, have detected 'dangerous viruses on my laptop', but not to worry! Because they will help me erase them all and clean my system! I went along with it, acting all grateful and concerned about my laptop.
Of course, the 'procedure' he was talking me through was how to download one of those remote-desktop applications that allows someone else to take control of your laptop. He first told me to "Press the Windows key" on my laptop's keyboard. I went along with it and kept the guy on the phone for 30 mins - I could hear the guy getting more and more excited because usually he never gets this far.....
After pretending to go through _all_ the steps of allowing this guy to take control of my laptop, the time came for me to give him the pass code for the remote desktop software - obviously I made up some random number which didn't work for him. He started getting angry at _me_! Accusing me of not listening to him, doing something wrong etc.....
Eventually I told him "Ok, let's start from the beginning again..." I heard him sigh and say "Ok, on the software press...." - I interrupt him with "No - from the _very_ beginning...." ;). He then takes a deep breath and says "Press the Windows key on your laptop...."
I say "What Windows key?"
He says "....The WIndows key! The Windows key on your laptop!"
I say "I don't see a Windows key...."
He says "You don't see a Windows key...."
I say "No - I own a MAC!!!"
After a moment's silence he says "Your laptop is a Mac."
I say "Yup!"
He says "But you told me you saw and pressed a Windows key earlier...."
I say, with the most mocking sincerity, "_Did_ I?!" :D
He said I was a 'very bad man' for wasting his time like that. I politely informed him that it was _he_ who was the 'bad man', a cunt for attempting to take advantage of people, and informed him that I hope he dies in a grease fire.
He hung up. ¯\..(ツ)../¯
"then everyone clapped" ughh boomer cringe
Full of shit
@@somethingorother3742 read it again, it's freaking hilarious!! Ughh here OP just take my reddit gold kind stranger take it all!!
Did ya really though? 😂
I kept one on the phone for like 20 minutes and the said I had to unplug my modem to reset it, then just pulled out the phone cord.
18:00 "A couple years ago when VCRs first came out." You mean...20 years?
More like 30
Maybe he meant DVD players
@J V yeah, just another one of Opie's attention seeking callers making no real contribution to the show. Callers suck.
He says "VCR" multiple times. Who was mixing up VCRs with DVD players that much by the mid 00s?
Then he says Lethal Weapon 2 when "it first came out on video".
Ah whatever. I'm overthinking how dumb a guy is who bought a box of rocks without checking first then calls O&A about it.
@@dorpthOpie was still referring to cell phone videos as “film” in the 2010s.
i had a guy once pretend he was a girl from my state and was really somebody from nigeria lol. this one was sneaky to. they bought a paid membership on a dating site and contacted me, first pretended they were in my state. they even played a fake webcam but i could tell the person wasnt interacting right on the came, it was pre recorded. i knew something was up when they said they were in college yet everything they typed was horrible spelling so i started playing along. i kept going along with it because at this point i was interested in leading them on when they asked for money saying they went to africa for charity and were robbed lol. i ended up doing research on there email and found out who they really were. i lead them on for about a month saying i was going to give them a few grand and never did lol. since it was overseas nobody could do anything about it
They probably paid for all that with scam money
But way to go, wast their time!
Opie “ my most embarrassing moment ….” Flash forward to 2016 and everything he does should qualify as winner
What's funny is my grandfather got the same scam phone call when someone claimed to be his grandson (me) who then handed the phone over to someone who was pretending to be a police officer and demanding $5000 bail money to let me out, lol. But my grandfather wasn't stupid enough to just send the money before calling my cell phone to make sure I was actually alright at home, haha.
That rules.
He wouldn't have sent the money if it had been true.
They did this to my grandmother saying I was in jail. Trust me: if I was arrested my grandmother would be the *last* person I’d call. Even she realized that.
2:15 thanks Dopie for ruining the bit, yet again.
Some park and Rec worker approached me once told me that his wife was in contact with some distant family who needed to give them millions in money "wired" - he then said he and his wife think for sure he was family, they've heard his name before...his name was Esquire...they can't remember where they've heard the name but it was very familiar. I was astonished how stupid people are
It sounds familiar you say. Yay on the news yah water brain!
Somebody named Barack Obama emailed me saying we were distant cousins and he has to send me some money. I haven't met him but the name does sound familiar, I must have heard it at one of our family barbeques.
The nigerian scammers are celebrated in their local pop music. That should tell you something. I don't know what thou.
Nigeria creates music?!
Janelle spears married a woman after her husband divorced her. She found a sugar mama
I don't know what the fuck I was talking about with this comment. Who tf is Janelle spears?
opies so with it he could never be truly scammed, he just allows himself to be occasionally scammed so he can feel alive.
@J G nice try with the hate brothaman
5:00 Didn't take long for idiot to ruin a flow and go to the phones. "The 9/11 thing changed that." Wtf was he even talking about?
Nice thing about having no money... pretty hard to scam me when I have nothing to give anyways. I usually have fun fuckin with the would be scammers
@ 4:54 The reason cops can deal with horrific crimes is because of 9/11
- Opie idiotic take
41:25. Insecure opie, who has to jump in, while ruining a good line by Ant.
I literally paused the video right there and came looking in the comments to see if anyone mentioned that brilliant line. Ant is so fucking quick. And yes, dopie tried to step all over it!
Do you Opie, do you really?
The guy with the Boat story should have known right away.
Commerce Bank? Was JD CLampett buying his boat? Was it signed Milburn Drysdale? Dope.
Love how Opie has such a non interesting story and just falls completely flat.
Then he gets annoyed Ant and Jim are teasing the callers. He's all trying to actually ask questions lol.
Soundboard starts up at 41:23, for all those wondering when to stop the video.
Oh, I wonder who's hitting it because they have nothing to contribute.
It took Opie 30 seconds to ruin the bit
19:55 Opie ruins his only (barely) funny line with an annoying ass laugh
why would a Nigerian prince lie? easiest 10mil ever!
Your right he is a Prince ! All Royal families ask random people online for millions.......
Dey wuz kangz n sheeit
No sympathy for greedy scumbags getting burned
''Got home - Rocks.''
I can't feel bad for people who's greed created their crime. Whether you're poor, rich, comfortably middle class, etc. If you get got on some of these obvious scams it's bc your greed overtook you not bc you're naive.
For the poor people I don’t think it was greed. It was some light at the end of the tunnel, some good luck that finally came their way and offered them a break. Is it dumb? Yes. Was it greed? I don’t think so. Just desperation.
almost fell for the courier scam - they don't tell you it's a money courier position, they say it's a "personal assistant" job where they'll verify you did the job then pay you. Then you get an envelope sent express in the mail with a check in it and weird instructions. Looked up the scam online then just threw the check away. Fuckers.
I try to go by the idea that nothing good will ever come to you, you have to find it
Ron Bennington put it best. "They should replace the stars on the fuckin flag with just some moron pulling his empty pockets out."
29:22
The guy who apparently killed two people and told the story to Opie and Anthony, on air, and had a huge problem afterwards because of it. Nobody knows if he was lying or not, so who knows if his story here was true.
I had to cancel my credit card because a phishing site fucked me good. I’m super savvy with tech, and build computers as a hobby. But we somehow had our router have its DNS hijacked, causing amazon and Netflix to redirect to clone websites. So you literally type in the proper URL, and you assume you’re fine. The only reason why I realized I was being fucked with (I assumed I needed to renter credit card info since I wasn’t logged in on my usual device) was because they wound up asking for social security, which made no sense. Anyway, just be careful of DNS hijacking.
Jim scammed listeners (saps) out of $60,000 on indiegogo for his stupid chip chipperson show that he never wound up releasing
why are the callers SO FUCKING BAD AT TELLING STORIES???
42:40 I guarantee that husband is looking to use use her life insurance to pay it off.
That thumbnail is fucking hilarious.
19:21 meanwhile Opie and Jimmy both went on the get married.
I almost fell for the job one
Guess that's why I've never been ripped off, I've never trusted anyone or wanted to believe, half full saves you cash for sure
All you need to know is as soon as money's involved, that guys thinking how he can fuck you and how your gonna fuck him. Human decency goes out the window with money, the survival instincts kick in. "You no take Thaggs bone! Thagg take 2 of your bones!"
I got a Nigerian Prince scam via my work email. At the time, I thought this was an urban legend. I fell the hell out when I got my first, and so far only Nigerian Prince email. So excited was I that I forwarded the email to my boss with a smiley face emoji. He immediately called me saying this was a scam (well duh) and asked if I had responded back to which I said no, that I knew it was a scam, and just thought it was super funny I had gotten it.
And then what happened?...
Already Jonesing for a fresh O&A and its only been a day or two,sometimes the anticipation for a O&A fix is just too much.
Anthony tells the same neighbor scam story a little differently twice.
i noticed that to, everyone kinda does that though lol. im usprised how much stuff they dont remember that they already told each other on previous shows ive noticed that alot
cj68plus1 Eh, it had more details, but it wasn't drastically different.
It's better than having to listen to the exact same story twice.
I had a friend like that same stories over and over
When these old people were growing up the world was a much different place. People were a lot more honest. And your word meant a lot. That's where the disconnect comes from.
Much more likely that it's just because there was no internet then so people couldn't try these types of scams with people who they would never meet.
I really don't think they were more honest, they just dealt with a lot less people daily and scams were more of an in-person thing
I relate to Anthony in some ways
I just love the picture 🤣🤣makes listening to this so much funnier but yet worse 🤦🏻♀️
Craiglist real estate scam.
you're the best jason
I dunno... Jason Statham might be the best Jason.
MrJimmyTide Jasonayeiter vs. Jason Stathom vs. Jason Vorheese, there can be only one!

They all lose to Ted Jason of Ted's All-Things-Jason Emporium, Greggory!
:( even six years ago I was nothing
That's a lot of doll hairs...
Ahhbooooo
Is Opie's friend "Buzzy" Ruth Buzzi? Huh, who knew that Opie actually had friends? The more you know... 😜
46:49
My car's display cuts off most of the title of this video. It says "Opie & Anthony: Nig..."
Some old people get tricked but most cons rely on the marks greed to be successful.
@37:35 Exactly!!!
@45:44 Jimmy REALLY loves his parents LMFAO!!
During Covid my friend found job online thst he thought was great. Work from home and they were gonna send him a check to buy like company preferred equipment for computer. They sent like a $5000 check that looked very authentic. The scam is they say there was a mistake and they sent 5k instead of 2k. Youve deposited the check and depending on bank it takes bout 3 or 4 days for bank to reject check so on paper it looks like it is in your account. You take 3k out to pay them the mistake back and then few days later the deposit comes off your balance bcuz check is bad. So you have just paid them 3k out of your own money. If you have the money in bank obviously. There is more to it but its pretty sophisticated.😅
I always liked the "wrong check amount" scam, because why in the hell would a big company need me to fix their mistake? A legit company wouldn't have you send money, they would reissue the check.
Around 51min mark, Opie says its great to see others fail...O RLY
He's got a point. I thought it was hilarious when he was fired.
My best friend's aunt got a call and was told that she had just won a cruise and all she had to do was give them her banking information. Her aunt isn't even all that old and she fell for it. My best friend ended up giving her money to put in the bank since those cruise agents cleaned out her bank account. That happened 10 years ago. Now, out Of gratitude. Her aunt and cousins turned their backs on her last year, right after her mom died because my best friend won't pay their credit card bills.
I feel guilty when Opie make me laugh
Way to follow the heard, sheep. I can't imagine listening to these things with that much hate
@@lobmin then you've never listened long enough to hear Opie ruin a bit. I don't have as much hatred as everyone else does for him but I can understand why they do, especially when he derails the show.
@@lobmin shut up Opie. Hate you
My kid is a dope she took on a baby sitting job that ended up being a courier ...she is lucky we started asking questions before she sent it to the other party
I'm.confused they where selling both blankets and materials or these are two separate incidents? ⚾
26:31 oofa oofa oofa
That was Than. I honestly struggle with the two of their voices, and only know that for sure because I don’t think Travdawg was interning at the time.
I woulda told the collector of funds to help the coworker who got scammed to kick rocks.
9:26 Yimmy’s tongue and teeth are boxing again.
Has no one seriously noticed that the guy at 29:28 is Eddie the Murderer?
37:13 was Lil Uzi Vert's inspiration for XO Tour Life 🤣
The o&a crowd don't listen to rap to get that reference.
Do da bitt!! Aaaand Puunt
50:50 jimmys slight dig at Opie 😁
We’re patiently waiting for that time stamp.
I'm stealing the "I HEARD you" gag!
Great job
Why does Opie never talk????
You want him to?!
That lady who lost all her life savings should start emailing people that she has a very important warning for people to avoid being scammed... but first, you must send her $5.
How do people fall foe this??
The reason why the scams are so obviously scams and full of spelling errors, dumb stuff, etc, is that the scammers don't want to waste time with people who will see through their scam.
Instead they want to find the most moronic of people to bite.
Jari Sundell I think it's is also full of dumb stuff because he is some Nigerian with broken English lol.
Jari Sundell True.. they throw the bait and wait for prey they can work with..
Why is Jim norton on this show he's not even funny
yea ur obviously not a little bitch troll...
He should've learned how to smash buttons. That was always hilarious.
I am working on a similar topic.
Do you mind if i use a few clips from this upload?
I would appreciate.
My uncle got an email from someone in Nigeria( allegedly), this person is a millionaire! All he had to do was send her money for a ticket out of Nigeria but her tickets kept "expiring" so he had to send more money. He never saw any money from her, hmm go figure.
46:50 For my own personal use
Nice. Ant starts telling the same ride along with Kieth the Cop story all over again at 51:00
I think he was telling the story years apart you stammering dolt. Look at the title of the video.
@@markwinberry8095 Oh my heavens, be nice!
Let's go I said let's go let's go A's and Braves let's go ⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾🏆🏆🏆🏆⚾⚾⚾⚾🎊🏆
Jim Norton's jokes are soo cringy it's sad. Anthony and opie are just forcefully laughing at his jokes
348frank348 they don't. You're probably thinking of Opie.
Opie’s ticket story is complete fabrication. You can tell it’s complete bullshit cause he’s got no chops whatsoever
