Anthony Cumia Is Mentally Unstable

[GreatAmericanZero]

You do realize the President cant just declare war, in fact 29 Democrats among them Biden, Clinton, and Kerry all voted for the war in Iraq.

But why let things like facts get in the way of things when you just toss out ignorant statements

yeah because the republican president lied about Weapons of mass destruction

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

nothing you can say will make me believe that if a Democrat was in office they would've started that retarded ass war

[Knowledged_one]

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh

nothing you can say will make me believe that if a Democrat was in office they would've started that retarded ass war

1. That wasnt the only reason that the war started

duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

2. And because of the retarded ass Democrat in office before bush the two towers were taken down by terrorists

But the point is that the democrat who ran against bush in 2004 even voted for the war

But that detracts from the point you made in the first statement which was completely ignorant on your part, like i said making up things doesnt make them fact

[GreatAmericanZero]

2. And because of the retarded ass Democrat in office before bush the two towers were taken down by terrorists



oh wow..you're one of those people

*collar fix*

ok..you're beloved republican party can't do no wrong. Every problem in the country was either started under Clinton or Carter...the rest of the past 34 years was all the Republicans saving us and doing everything to hold us together

have fun reading your right wing books and radio and not having original thoughts. Just repeat what you hear other people say...if someone else has already said it at least you have someone to agree with!

everyone else sees where you come from with your ideology..its a dime a dozen and its boring and predictable

i hold whoever is in the captain's seat responsible when shit goes down. In the past 8 years that has been a republican..no matter whichever ways you convince yourself how to blame anyone else than your beloved team, thats how i feel

[jetdog]

Wasn't the dumbass dem president before W, harshly criticized by the Republican congress for pursuing Bin Laden? And wasn't W continually warned about Al Quaeda by Richard Clark and others and paid no interest whatsoever in them?

And didn't the congress vote to give the president the authority to declare war, not vote for the war? This is an important distinction, as the "authority" could have been wielded as a diplomatic tool.

But maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about.

I like logical people that can have views on anything..but to be one of those "Clinton is to blame for 9/11 people" you've just brainwashed yourself.

Bullshit. I don't stalk your posts. I read posts, and when I see you acting like an asshole, I'll call you out on it. Unfortunately, if you feel it happens a lot, it's probably because you do it a lot. If you can't argue your points without resorting to personal attacks, don't argue your points at all. This isn't some laser focused harassment that applies only to you. It's a rule that all of the members of this forum are governed by (and there are of course exceptions for good natured ball-busting). Most people seem to be able to handle this rule just fine.

[KnoxHarrington]

Of course Clinton's to blame for 9/11! It wasn't like Bush had a report called "Al-Qaida Plans Imminent Attack on US" on his desk at the time or anything!

Oh wait...

[Furtherman]

Even if Clinton took out Bin Laden when he had the chance, the attack still would have happened. There would just be another terrorist at the top of the FBI Most Wanted list.

in 100% honesty, I'll say "whoseever in the captain's seat deserves the blame" when republicans through out the "bill clinton caused 9/11" rhetoric but besides that i'm in the camp of "blaming other Americans for 9/11 is kinda sick". But blaming Clinton is sick AND crazy

and i am an asshole. True, i plan on voting for Obama (even though i haven't gotten anything back on my absentee ballot) but when fucked up things happen in the whitehouse while he's in "the captain's seat" i'll blame him too. Unfortunately theres only been republicans in the whitehouse as long as i've been posting on messageboards

I would recommend that GAZ and Knowledged_One go to each other's houses and play 'Learn!' by the fireside each night for the rest of the semester. Syllabus includes The Looming Tower - and that's it. Then the two of you should decide if any one president actually can be blamed for 9-11 or if blame (if there is any UTILITY WHATSOEVER to assigning blame at this stage that is) rests with more than one administration.

Incidentally I share most of Gaz's stated viewpoints in this thread. Shock.

Back to the topic... Tony C's economic/political views are more of a Social Darwinist spin... and just as outdated and retarded as that movement was.

He's still great on the radio when he isn't boring me with his FOX News-ish simplicity.

I'm at the point now of just turning the radio anytime the name "Obama" is spoken on the show.

I sincerely love Anthony on the show, it's just when he rants about this stuff it's like watching a sick friend make an ass of himself in public.

I just can't do it anymore. And for the sake of not being called a hater or whatever I'd rather just not listen.

Two things guide Ants political opinions, Greed and Guns. He talks real loud about it but uses little to no logic. Its absurd.

It was no taxation without representation not no taxation

We all live in a society built on the backs of those who have come before us, try as you might no one can do it alone anymore. We have a responsibility to pay taxes to better our society conversely lawmakers have the responsibility to make sure that money is collected fairly and spent wisely if not then its the citizens responsibility to vote differently.

It absolutely amazes me how many people throw out terms like "capitalism" and "socialism" and have no idea what they are.

Calling the United States "Capitalist" is just as inaccurate as calling it "Socialist". I don't know why things have to be defined in black and white and why there has to be a definite label. Dogmatic beliefs must be so comforting.

Nothing you posted is socialism, people paid into those programs and are getting value for their worth, that is the basis of capitalism, nice try though at least it shows you are thinking.

No but redistribution of wealth is socialism as well as thinking the people should be lifted over you own self interests for the good of the nation, you can not force people to work harder and then expect them to thank you for taking their money away.

The rich pay most of the taxes, that is a fact. The poor pay virtually none, ant is correct about that, there is no arguing that point. A candidate saying he is going to make it so the majority is going to pay less and the evil rich is going to have to pay more is a good election strategy, I dont think it is going to ever pass the house or the senate but it may get him into office.

medicaid is not medicare. medicaid is for low income people that cannot afford insurance and don't have jobs that offer it (sort of like welfare) while medicare is for people over 65 who are retired and most likely paid into the funds through their pay checks each month of their working life.

sounds socialistic to me...Yes and whenever you have a job, you pay into those programs whether its $100/week or $10,000/week you pay a portion into a few government programs. Now right wing idiot talkers like to claim this is just the start of socialism but its not, its a fail safe for people that are stupid or have some financial catastrophe.

Yes of course thats a good retort, claim government programs funded by people taxes are socialism then claim anything contrary to the fact is just wrong.

I just hope people arent stupid enough to give the dems a super majority in the senate as well this year.

Taxing Americans, taking their money, then redistributing it to other Americans in the form of welfare or and other federal aid program is socialism as well. What's your point?

So we can protect ourselves from the gov't and the police if we feel we are in jeopardy. Like the Revolution, when you feel that you have to form a militia in order to take back the country from corrupt politics.

Here's the thing that always gets me about this argument.


"I don't want none of my money going to those lazy bastards on welfare and medicaid. What do I get out of it?"


Well guys, you know what you get out of it?

#1) SECURITY - honestly, if there's no safety nets in this country, do people really think that the poor are just going to sit quietly and fade away until they die? Find me any society in history where that's every happened. When people reach a certain breaking point, they'll do whatever's necessary to survive...even if that includes taking from those that do have stuff, forciably.

#2) THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE WHAT THEY PUT IN BACK, AND THEN SOME - By percentage, most of the rich that pay a larger percentage of taxes, make up most of the investment world. The less people are being squeezed for bare necessities and are able to get some help, the more likely they are to purchase the worthless, garbage products, that so many of these people put their money in.


This Wall Street crisis....at it's core, it's a product of the fact that the the mid-class and poor can't afford what they have (in this case, mortgages).

Now, if people can be bailed out in a reasonable fashion, the mid-class and poor will be viable in terms of continuing consumer spending, thus keeping the economy going.

If they don't, and large numbers of people go down in flames. See how much consumer confidence and spending drops, and furthermore, see how much MORE money, the rich and upper class lose in their investments, than if they just bit the bullet, and bought into the safety nets.

Not if you are getting value for what you paid, think of it as a really crappy retirement plan but you get return for what you paid in to the plan, at least right now you do.

So it is not socialism, that would be just taking your money but not offering you anything in return but using it to prop up the people.

If the old soviet union taught us anything its that model doesn't work.

I wasn't making an argument but a simple statement to correct him on his point.

While I have my own opinion on welfare and the fact that it is abused in this country as much as it is in any other country in the world, medicaid and welfare are most definitely closer to socialism than admitted above.

I grew up in socialism/ communism, and even to this day our (my) country has a socialistic party and is based a lot on the principles of socialism.

[SP1!]

So we can protect ourselves from the gov't and the police if we feel we are in jeopardy. Like the Revolution, when you feel that you have to form a militia in order to take back the country from corrupt politics.

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

The right to bear arms has nothing to do with protecting your Xbox and your car. Those thoughts came way after the Bill of Rights were created.

Thats just because Xbox's and cars werent invented yet!!!!

It is vague for a reason, if you read notes on the intents of the writers they wanted it to be as vague as possible to cover future advances, there are quite a few documentaries that cover this and are quite fun to watch, but then again I'm a history nerd.

Yes of course thats a good retort, claim government programs funded by people taxes are socialism then claim anything contrary to the fact is just wrong.

I just hope people arent stupid enough to give the dems a super majority in the senate as well this year.

By your logic, and I am being generous here in allowing that term, any socialized medicine system where people pay taxes to fund it is not socialism at all because "paying in and getting value for their worth."

Socialism is the seizing of the means of production by the people. The banks are partially socialized because the people now own part of them. Medicaid and Medicare are socialism because the people own it. Social Security is socialism because the people own it. These programs were not born out of capitalism, they were born out of the failure of capitalism, which should be fairly obvious. Just about any public assistance program is either to some degree socialism or born out of socialist theories.

This idea you have in your head that you think is socialism has no basis in reality I assure you.

I'm sick of my tax dollars going towards fixing potholes on roads I don't drive on, libraries I don't go to, and most importantly, bombs to be dropped on little brown people in countries I've never been to (and the subsequent rebuilding of those little brown people's countries)...

so what color of little people are you okay with us bombing their country?

[hydee]

so what color of little people are you okay with us bombing their country?

I am not even kidding I was just going to ask this exact question.

...it's been a long time since we bombed people who aren't brown...I got my eye on you, former Soviet Union.[/sarcasm]

[Meataball23]

perhaps..but he goes down the road that "business owners and corporate people shouldn't be taxed" and no one is not going to tax them and then tax the shit out of poor people..so if you buy into the Anthony Cumia Economic Plan it would be no one paying taxes on anything whatsoever


Hes a libertarian. Many libertarians vote for the gop and overlook the crazy religious stuff.

[booster11373]

Here's the thing that always gets me about this argument.


"I don't want none of my money going to those lazy bastards on welfare and medicaid. What do I get out of it?"


Well guys, you know what you get out of it?

#1) SECURITY - honestly, if there's no safety nets in this country, do people really think that the poor are just going to sit quietly and fade away until they die? Find me any society in history where that's every happened. When people reach a certain breaking point, they'll do whatever's necessary to survive...even if that includes taking from those that do have stuff, forciably.

#2) THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE WHAT THEY PUT IN BACK, AND THEN SOME - By percentage, most of the rich that pay a larger percentage of taxes, make up most of the investment world. The less people are being squeezed for bare necessities and are able to get some help, the more likely they are to purchase the worthless, garbage products, that so many of these people put their money in.


This Wall Street crisis....at it's core, it's a product of the fact that the the mid-class and poor can't afford what they have (in this case, mortgages).

Now, if people can be bailed out in a reasonable fashion, the mid-class and poor will be viable in terms of continuing consumer spending, thus keeping the economy going.

If they don't, and large numbers of people go down in flames. See how much consumer confidence and spending drops, and furthermore, see how much MORE money, the rich and upper class lose in their investments, than if they just bit the bullet, and bought into the safety nets.

well said! :clap:

[booster11373]

The rich pay most of the taxes, that is a fact. The poor pay virtually none, ant is correct about that, there is no arguing that point. A candidate saying he is going to make it so the majority is going to pay less and the evil rich is going to have to pay more is a good election strategy, I dont think it is going to ever pass the house or the senate but it may get him into office.

The VAST majority of big business (i.e. multinationals) dont pay any taxes in the USA that is a proven fact

What is this paltalk you speak of? I'll go listen to my radio on the outside chance that somebody might make mention of it.

Bomb the Swiss. They'll never see it coming.

I've worked for Swiss-owned companies for most of my adult life so here's a li'l intel:

You can bomb them but they'll just retreat into the well-appointed shelters that they've built into the Alps over the years and enjoy their fondue while appreciating the original Klee paintings hanging there. Then they'll come out afterwards, dust themselves off, tsk-tsk at the Americans for being so rash and short-sighted and continue on as if nothing has happened.

However, if you fuck with their money then they'll get all Ronnie B on you. They're all pretty much in good shape from all that mountain hiking and those Swiss Army knives look like primitive torture devices for a reason. You've heard that the Eskimos have 98 different words for snow? The Swiss have 3 times as many for money.

I say we bomb somebody who will be less trouble. Like the Maldives. they'll be underwater soon enough anyway so they won't have long to hold a grudge.

I am not saying there is something wrong with protecting your belongings, but it isn't the reason why we were given the right to bear arms. I can't change the meaning the forefathers had for the 2nd amendment.

I made this comment in relation to Anthony screaming daily about his guns and how Obama wants to take them away from him. I just drew attention to the fact that Anthony has no freaking idea of why we got the right to have arms, he thinks it is for protecting his McMansion but it's not. So that's all I can say.

If a grown man that is over 40 feels the need to strap on a gun inside his house to feel manly and wants to delude himself into believing it's for his safety. All I can say is that Fez has a card for 4 Winds that I am sure he can lend to Anthony.

Anthony has many forms of protection on his house. He brags about his cameras and his alarm system and what not. If he is taking those measures the need for a gun becomes lower and lower.

I am not saying he shouldn't have his guns, I just think he should educate himself on why he is able to have them, and maybe not depend on them so much for his piece of mind.

[hydee]

Well the supreme court disagrees with you:

Just because many years later the supreme court decided to change the meaning to make people feel safer, doesn't mean it discounts the original meaning of the 2nd amendment.

i was thinking today when Anthony was ranting about guns

there is no issue i care less about. I just have no opinion..keep 'em, take 'em away, take some away..i don't give a shit in the slightest

Even issues as boring as "School Vouchers" i can get an opinion about..but guns? just does nothing for me

[YourAmishDaddy]

Well I'm waiting on Anthony to recall that the only time guns were confiscated house to house in American history was after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans by Blackwater. Under the auspices of The Patriot Act.

Something I'm sure he supports. The heralded Second Amendment. Which doesn't really exist anymore because the Patriot Act nullifies it if some sort of disaster happens.

I'm sure he knows this and is chomping at the bit to admit it on the air.

I personally don't care about guns either, but I also know how bass-ackwards our system of government has become. The "give them an inch, they take a yard" concept has played itself out more than once, so I can see why supporters of gun owner's rights are nervous.

I completely agree with strict legislation on purchasing and licensing of firearms, but banning certain kinds has always seemed silly to me. Guns will be available no matter what you do, so why not allow citizens that meet the necessary legal requirements own them.

That said, Anthony often sounds like a jackass when talking about the issue. I agree with the majority of his points RE: legal ownership, but he could really try to sound like less of a raving asshole about it.

Wish I had your same feelings. I had a friend at Columbine so I am emotionally invested whether I care to be or not. End of life story back to Anthony.

His argument that time distinctions don't matter between Second Amendment and today's world is completely irrelevant. Why? Because in them days people had muskets. I don't even think they had good flintlocks back then. At best you could kill one fucking guy in a room before you had to resort to the bayonet. Today, you can wipe out an entire room full of people and hold an entire building hostage. That's a difference, and Tony can go wipe my fucking ass with his opinions.

The fact Tony owns guns at all is a credit to the country but he's ungrateful and wants to bitch severely about restrictions which in my opinion do not get enforced nearly as well as they ought to because of stupid assholes like him who happen to own a gun shop and don't want to enforce written law.

Having unrestricted access to an arsenal in a heavily populated urban area is simple common sense "No" of life. While I believe you should be allowed to carry a tazer and mace or something you shouldn't have something like an AR-15 in your fucking Escalade while driving through a city. Funny, he's a guy all in favor of law enforcement except when it applies to him.

Want unrestricted access to guns? Go live in Palestine.

So much for the "most honest show in radio". Anthony, like the pure Long Island trash he is, constantly rubs it in everyone's face that he made good, and is rich. Now to make fun of a dude who has some real dough he plays the regular guy card. At least Stern never acted like he wasn't rich after he got his big payday. Then you have the two of them going off on how ultra successful they are and it's the industry that's failing, not them. Because I'm sure they would have been kicked off of a dozen markets if they were slaying in the ratings. How does anyone buy this shit anymore?

Stern has always been larger-than-life rockstar "King of all Media" so him being "Hollywood Howie" is something that his fans must be comfortable with at this point. And I've heard Anthony defend him talking about his rich man woes as "I need to talk about whats going on in my life!"..which is fine, but you can't call out one old rich man for doing the same thing the other old rich man is doing


Denis Leary called Anthony out on something today that I'm glad someone finally made the point. Anthony has been talking about being taxed more as "its going to go to poor black people"..Leary finally said "the money is going to help our country because of the massive debts we are in because of the Iraq war and the economy sucking etc..someone has to pay for it".

I do not like Denis Leary, stand up wise. But he sounds like a fantastic individual. I really enjoyed hearing him counter Ant today.
You ever wonder what Bill Hicks would be doing today? Do you think he'd be a regular on r & f or o & a? Do you think he'd be iconic like Carlin was? or slip into obscurity like a Dennis Miller? Or just work his life on the road?

i think he'd be hosting the tonight show

No fucking way.
He'd probably be teaching at a college or something like that.

[kegbuna]

Yea, I tend to dislike the ranting kind of crazy standup that seems to be popular on OnA. However, Jim Norton seems so intelligent and has some funny lines, and Dennis Leary was respectable, coherent, and intelligent today.

Btw, I know Brian Reagan is (kind of) a regular on OnA and god damn it if he isn't one of my favorite if not favorite comedian. Other than that though, it seems like the show has gone to ranting about the same neocon stuff about minorities, guns, and bombing other countries.

I don't know if anyone else hears this but I feel like Opie gets tired of it too sometimes, but is such a pro that he plays it off as being awesome radio. I miss the old fun OnA where racism was actually kind of fun, mainly because it WAS coming from a comedic place.

I think I need to hire an editor for my posts.

I get annoyed when members of the show say things like "Anthony's a smart guy" and "Anthony's done his research." He isn't and he hasn't. His arguments consist of low taxes and gun ownership while reverting to Fez circa Fall 2007 when any other political issue is raised. Leary's alright, but if he voted for Obama for the reasons he says he did, maybe he should've been clued into the fact that McCain's positions are identical to Obama's on every one of those issues. Maybe Anthony the genius should've been the one pointing that out.

Dipaolo is one of my all-time favorite comics and I tend to find his politics agreeable, but he does fall back on talking points if he discusses politics for more than 15 minutes. Hopefully with the election over, he can go back to taking on society instead of narrow politics.

[TjM]

I think it's because Howie backed Obama

So much for the "most honest show in radio".

Don ane Mike were mocked for the honesty years ago - when did O&A and their fans begin to spin it on them?

Bobby Lee is probably considered obscure or at least will be in a couple years following the MAD TV cancellation. Obscure meaning you ask someone "hey that Dennis Miller" and they say "WHO!?"- not "oh he's doing ESPN instead of HBO and therefore is not as culturally relevant as he yoosed to be"... Denny's still on TV (sometimes). Bobby Lee is not. Semantics I guess.:drunk:

You're right. So, the word is not obscure..... how about irrelevant?

[CofyCrakCocaine]

You're right. So, the word is not obscure..... how about irrelevant?

For Dennis Miller, yes. For Bill Hicks, obscure is a better word. I think the latter would always be relevant, but nobody still knows about him. Hell, I have a hard time finding people who know Carlin.

How has the Gene Simmons thing not been brought in to this thread yet???

So let me get this straight....Anthony's pissed, because Gene made a move on a chick that he unremorsefully cheated on, and then revealed had anal leakage problems on national radio?

I can't blame him for being pissed or for continuing to be pissed about it, even after they broke up. But you brought up an excellent point. He has humiliated Jill in private and then in public and after humiliating her he decided to bring up Gene's disrespect for 15 min+ segments on at least 5 different shows. It's time to move on.

Everyone knows Gene Simmons is an asshole, but Anthony's part in the whole Nicolini saga paints him as just as big a scumbag, so I don't see where he has the nerve to act like Gene's a douchebag for what he did.

And quite frankly, Ant kind of had it coming, with how he handled the whole break up on air.

And then the whole 'I'm calling you out' thing is just radio hackdom.

It's fuck-ing brilliant. The thing about that one is he's super enraged, but you get the sense that the passion and conviction behind it justifies the rage that for other people you would just consider blind and pointless.

Also, today he called Gene Simmons a "Money-grubbing fucko".

Nope. I really thought he had lost his mind when I originally posted this. It was the night of the "sit down" that Ron and Fez had on a Sunday night to try to put an end to the message board wars, and Anthony called in ranting and raving about how furious he was over what's written about the show on fan sites.

It struck me as the action of a madman.

Aahhhh...the days when we thought the 'sit down' was the bottoming out of his insanity...

[hydee]

Aahhhh...the days when we thought the 'sit down' was the bottoming out of his insanity...

Since McCain lost the election, and Anthony doesn't have anything to harp on Obama for yet. I am just assuming that calling Gene up is another loop on the downward spiral of Anthony hitting bottom.

Spending his money and buying guns most likely are getting a bit boring, so he has to throw some crazy mad capped public call out, to add some spice to his life. Newly rich people do this all the time. They get bored they do something more outrageous, and they one up themselves over and over until they run out of money, end up in jail, or get fired.

I am banking on Anthony ending up in Jail. Mostly because he loves the fact that he drives like an ass and think he is above it because (stupid) cops give him cards to get out of tickets. One day those cards aren't going to help him.

[GreatAmericanZero]

these past 2 days without Opie really showed that Opie is the most important part of the show

The show, especially today, is a show i would never listen to if it was like that regularly. I've heard Opie and Norton shows and they were good...felt like something was missing but good. Obviously O&A have been successful without Norton...but the show is terrible without Opie

every single break was about something expensive that Anthony is doing. Thats the whole show. Break about building a movie theater. Break about getting a hair transplant. Break about his new guns he bought....We get it, guns that you purchase are powerful!

and with his hair transplant thing..he is exactly like Howard. I will say what the O&A show do with his character makes for better radio than what "The Howard Stern Show" does with the same character..but they are both exactly the same. They are both whiney old millionaires surrounded by yes men. Just that the show surrounding O&A is much stronger (in my opinion). Atleast O&A don't have a robin quivers

I give Ant some credit for talking about the hair transplantation on the show. It's shocking that he did it because I didn't even notice he was balding and it probably would've slipped under everyone's raders had he not brought it up.

I found it pretty strange yesterday that Ant was ranting about how we live in an music a-la-cart iPod age, and talk radio is the only true commodity radio stations have. This is exactly what's going to do their show in - as people tire of Ant's bigotry and out-of-touch rich white guy rants, they'll simply switch over to one of their many other options.

i agree about his "out-of-touch"ness..but hes right that radio needs talk show hosts. I just don't see any other options in non-political talk.

Yes, radio does need good talk but the Lawyers and Management have cut the balls off of ALL entertaining shows. They can't even have naked women in the studio which is like "Shock Jock 101". The shows are just endless yada, yada, yada. At least we always had a Sex for Sam contest, Homeless Shopping Spree, or Voyer Bus to look forward too.

Philly was bad, but losing Boston was HORRIBLE. If I were Ant I would be shitting in my pants right now waiting for the other shoe to drop at CBS. SIRIUS/ xm might keep them for now, but next contract might be significantly less then past ones with the economy going the way it is. Opie will always have a radio gig, and he has mentioned in the past transitioning to a Management role which I could see. When that day comes what does Ant do?

It's funny how Opie, the one with more secure career prospects, seems to live a pretty sane and financially responsible life. He's even invested in a restaurant, and though I haven't seen their books, is probably an asset and not a liability.

Ant's "investments"?


guns
sports cars
hair plugs
ridiculous home theatre (which will depreciate to about half its value the minute he installs it)
gambling
...

Exactly, all that equals is White Trash Millionaire. A term which he HATES even if he plays it off like he doesn't.

Opie, IMO, is truely the guy whos done well for himself. A guy who came from a huge family with little to no money, understands his business and thinks about the future. This new "I'm Rich Bitch" Anthony is just sad. I miss OLD Anthony who knew he was lucky and loved his job. Its gonna be really sad (and lonely) when it all crashes down.

Again, losing Boston was a shock to ME and I don't have a nickels worth of care invested in the O&A Show.

[GvacMobile]

Anthony just spent the last 10 minutes talking about guns, blacks, and Paltalk.

Is this a worst of?

[GreatAmericanZero]

i will say this..i'll take anthony being racist over "gun talk" anyday. both are boring at this point, but the gun talk is sooooooooooo boring and identical every time. "I got a new gun, this is how powerful it is blah blah blah blah blah"

[spainlinx0]

I didn't mind Anthony by himself. I liked the hair plug talk. Also, I really can't fault Anthony for what he spends his money on. It is my dream to build a home theater exactly the way he has described it, and if I had his money, I would do the exact same thing. I would also have a large house, play videogames, and just enjoy life. I'm sure he has a financial manager telling him what he can spend to stay rich so I doubt he will be going broke anytime soon. Also, like others said, he has voice talent and can fall back on that.

I kind of liked the laid back flow of the show just hanging out and talking about whatever. I understand how people could get tired about the Desert Eagle stuff, but whatever.

What I really can't stand is Laslow. The man does NOT know technology. He tries to come across as so smart because the rest of the show knows even less, but when you actually know about technology the guy comes across as a fucking idiot. I actually loved Jimmy making him look like an ass talking about new technologies. Even Jimmy who doesn't keep up with the stuff new more about technological trends than that fraud.

Unless you strike gold, like Tom Kenny (Spongebob), Seth McFarlane, or any of the Simpsons cast. I'd imagine that voiceover, like radio, is a competitive field, with very little room at the top. Ant does have connections, depending on how many bridges he's burned with his nonsense. He'd definitely be in for some sleepless nights, though, trying to start a new career at age 50. Opie could walk into a management position the next day.

absolutely. Without Opie, every break was Anthony talking about something expensive he just did

they didn't cover any news, they stuck on subjects way too long and Anthony really just talked about himself. Opie moves the show along and knows the interesting topics and news to bring up so Ant and Jimmy can goof on it.

These days, Anthony is kinda replaceable. You put Opie with two really funny people and u have a great show. Opie with Bill Burr and Joe Derosa is a great show. Opie with Jim Norton and Rich Vos is a great show. Anthony...i don't think he has that ability

Shit yes. The Opie, Jimmy and Colin Quinn show was awesome. Colin is funnier and more intelligent than Ant, and having him around cut down on a lot of Jimmy's "LOLROBERTREEDAIDSLOL" crap, because it would invariably lead to a "shut up stupid" from Colin. It also made Opie take things a bit more seriously. There's been a shitty dynamic when Opie, Ant and Jimmy are together where it almost seems like they're punching a clock and are only in the same room together because that's what they've doing for the last decade. Mixing up the three of them is usually better these days.

[Name]

These days, Anthony is kinda replaceable. You put Opie with two really funny people and u have a great show. Opie with Bill Burr and Joe Derosa is a great show. Opie with Jim Norton and Rich Vos is a great show. Anthony...i don't think he has that ability

Who's going to do the Reagan, Judge Smails and Lost in Space guy impressions. Come to think of it, is the newest impression the 1990 'Dice Rules' one?

[brettmojo]

Shit yes. The Opie, Jimmy and Colin Quinn show was awesome. Colin is funnier and more intelligent than Ant, and having him around cut down on a lot of Jimmy's "LOLROBERTREEDAIDSLOL" crap,
Yeah, because there's been SOOOO MUCH of that the past few years.

[GreatAmericanZero]

Shit yes. The Opie, Jimmy and Colin Quinn show was awesome. Colin is funnier and more intelligent than Ant, and having him around cut down on a lot of Jimmy's "LOLROBERTREEDAIDSLOL" crap, because it would invariably lead to a "shut up stupid" from Colin.

i still think they put on a good show, but if you were to remove any 1 of the 3 out the equation, removing Opie would harm the show the most

I think taking jimmy off to would be a detriment. Opie has the skills, and without these two the show is dead.

i'm one of the fanboys who thinks Jimmy Norton can do no wrong and i think he brings a real genuine voice to the show....like, while Opie and Anthony sometimes have to push a shitty movie or tell an exaggerated story, i believe that Norton always comes from an honest place and i think hes a very important part of that show

that being said, they have done some great shows when he wasn't around too...even though i love him on the show, the show wouldn't go to "shit" without him like it would without opie

[The Ogre]

Yeah, because there's been SOOOO MUCH of that the past few years.

You're joking right? 99% of Jimmy's jokes are about pedophilia, AIDS or homosexual encounters. Oh wait, there's the super brilliant "bull and cuckold" horseshit that's been introduced over the last year. They have referenced Robert Reed having AIDS so much that they mock themselves for it. What show are you listening to?

It's hard to tell from the post above, but I don't mind Jimmy at all as long as he's in with the right guests. It seems like when Colin Quinn, Nick Dipaolo, or Bill Burr are in he cuts down on the sexual deviant humor that he's beat to death over the years. He just focuses on interacting instead of trying to be shocking. I agree that he tends to have an honest perspective that O & A sometimes lack. He can also be an insanely funny motherfucker off the cuff, like with the "Ted the Ghost Hunter" bit. I'm just fucking sick of the humor he falls back to most of the time.

perhaps. like i said, im "Jimmy Norton fanboy". He can do no wrong in my eyes...but i'll admit it

When i was reading his new book, there are 2 kinds of "jim norton laughs" that he gets from me. One is a regular laugh cuz its funny. The other is a laugh so hard i got to put the book down in my lap and just say to myself "oh yimmmmmmmmmmmy".

Since they started back on FM, except for maybe a little at first on FM, it really hasn't been the crutch that it was the years prior.

i do think jimmy has grown comedically. I have his "yellow discipline" album and i love it, but a lot of the punchlines were "and then i raped her!". Compare it to the "Monster Rain" HBO special and the stuff hes doing now, i think hes way better (even though i loved the original stuff)

[hydee]

I didn't mind Anthony by himself. I liked the hair plug talk. Also, I really can't fault Anthony for what he spends his money on. It is my dream to build a home theater exactly the way he has described it, and if I had his money, I would do the exact same thing. I would also have a large house, play videogames, and just enjoy life. I'm sure he has a financial manager telling him what he can spend to stay rich so I doubt he will be going broke anytime soon. Also, like others said, he has voice talent and can fall back on that.



With your attitude you will be poor in a matter of moments. Newly rich people make the same mistake over and over and over. Spending more money then they have brains until they run out of money and blame everyone on creation for it. Anthony shouldn't be used as a role model and people shouldn't want to be him.

He is a lonely man that ruined marriage for himself by purposely marrying a woman he knew he didn't want to marry, he has become a parody of a mid life crisis, and no one in the whole planet should be spending the money the way he is in these economic times. He is a racist ass that has some unfounded idea that he is some genius that knows it all. He treats women like shit, and he is a serial cheater.

Now his friends are laughing at him not with him over this stupid vanity based surgery.

Anthony needs to humble himself and try to get some of the heat back that they had before he ruined the show ranting like a child and dragging the show to a halt.

While he is doing that he should also say he is sorry to Opie for forgetting who got him where he is today.

[carlygirl]

I think the show is peeeeu when any of the ensemble is out. I love when Bill B and Nic Dip are in.

I am itching to use my paypal for this purchase count me in. Also if we could get him a copy of the Constitution, a book on what Socialism is, and a book on capitalism that would be good too.

Think of is as a mental patient care package.

LINNNNGGER LOOONGRRR!...on a different show

[mongothetrucker]

absolutely. Without Opie, every break was Anthony talking about something expensive he just did

they didn't cover any news, they stuck on subjects way too long and Anthony really just talked about himself. Opie moves the show along and knows the interesting topics and news to bring up so Ant and Jimmy can goof on it.

These days, Anthony is kinda replaceable. You put Opie with two really funny people and u have a great show. Opie with Bill Burr and Joe Derosa is a great show. Opie with Jim Norton and Rich Vos is a great show. Anthony...i don't think he has that ability

I agree. The Patrice shows sucked because it was all about race and black stuff.

The Anthony shows sucked because it was all about new stuff and money.

Neither show I could relate to because I am white and poor. Opie is a radio guy and he gets it. Anthony is very funny, but he can't steer the ship.

[ShowerBench]

Anthony has the intelligence and talent to put together jokes and lines. Unfortunately, his personality is fundamentally mean-spirited and low class. This prevents him from being entertaining because all he can do is launch cheap attacks on groups of people and boast about acquisitions or economic status.

[scottinnj]

They both did. They were both coming from "All politicians suck, but your politicians you vote for suck worse then mine."

Very well said. I have been a very loyal O&A fan since the first show I heard, when he brought in the tape of his Mom doing Me & Bobby McGee in Brother Joe's studio, drunk. I have never missed a day, other than vacation. In the past 6 months or so, I have changed the channel more often, solely because of Anthony. His racist, sexist, elitist ridiculous rants have brought tears to my eyes, knowing that the show I love is dying right before my eyes. The day he ranted against the Katrina victims was when I knew he had no heart.

As the O&A crowd has grown up, matured, had kids and responsible jobs - Anthony has remained the same. He used to be the same as his audience when they were young and irresponsible, now he insults his audience for growing up. The 20 year olds don't care about O&A, he needs to acknowledge the life that the 30, 40 and yes, even 50 year old fans are living now.

I will always be grateful to them, because through them, I found Ron & Fez. Based on today's show, I'm not the only one who sees R&F as the smart, progressive ones. Opie's not dumb.

I am so far away from their demographic, that my opinion doesn't matter to them. A married woman, with kids and a sensible haircut and Mom jeans, driving a station wagon. I pay the satellite bill every month, and as long as there is R&F on 202, I'll keep paying. O&A will NOT make me want to keep the satellite (especially since the music change).

I agree 100%. Back at WNEW, I loved both shows, but let's face it; Ron and Fez was the fun little immature show at night and Opie and Anthony was more topical. Today, we find that situation completely reversed. Ron and Fez is always topical, with a decidedly adult brand of humor. The buddays can go from impressions of Earl's dead grandmother having sex with historical figures to a serious discussion of morality or an interview with a renowned astronomer. There's nothing wrong with O&A being the sophomoric show on 202, but they are supposed to be the anchor and consistently fail to act as such. They do the over-prepared 6-9 show followed by the underprepared 9:30-10:30 show while Anthony oozes contempt that they have to even stay THAT late. In the past 4 months, the show has been nothing but guns and half-serious race-baiting. If it wasn't for Jimmy and some of the show's comedian friends, I would just listen to BBC in the morning.

I agree. However, in the beginning stages of satellite (post-subscription/pre-krock return) O&A were awesome. Back then, they remind me of what Ron and Fez are now. Topical, but often veering off into great stories or bits with interesting characters.

Anthony is allowed to have his opinion, but there was no need for him to be such an a-hole today. I bet Anthony would have LOVED to have one of his songs trashed and dissected just because somebody didn't like the subject matter.
