But seriously, you can't say Anthony hasn't been asking for something like this to happen to him for years, with the way he goes on.

Honestly I was expecting Ope to drop out first. He's always been clamoring about leavin the FUAHKIN' COMPNY, never expected Ant to pull something like this.

It wasn't really about expecting Ant to pull something like this because he did all the time. It was more about waiting for someone to finally call him out on it.

Yeah very true. Now that he's in the spotlight, all his previous shenanigans are just spilling out.

I will say though that I'm very much looking forward to more Live at the Compound because of this since that's pretty much all he has left anyways.

I don't think he's been nearly as racist. At least when he went off on a tirade he pulled out the "black on black crime statistics" card, here he's literally just calling black people animals. He's well past the point of no return.

I guess you missed when he carted that old gem out afterwards trying to pretend that he was trying to save the black community from itself and that he's not a racist.

All we know is... he's called The Stig.
The Daily News went to his house and talked to him

"There's plenty of options in this day and age and that's all I'm going to say about it."

Notable for being the first to do so. It's kind of shameful journalism that none of these Gawker people even went through the trouble of trying to contact him for a statement out the gate. I guess maybe they took his tweets as his statement?

He lost it then sure, but part of me thinks when Patrice died there's been absolutely nobody to ever challenge him on his views. Jimmy occasionally does and it usually comes off as Jim has no idea about anything he's actually saying.

I kinda lurk this thread once in a blue moon, I stopped listening to the boys probably 4 or 5 years ago. I was a die hard, regular listener since the days of WNEW, bought my XM sub the week they started. Ant's racism, Op's viral bullshit, and Jimmy never progressing past AIDS jokes really got old after awhile.

I was always more of a R&F fan, so we still have Ronnie. gently caress Fez, though. Ronnie is enough I suppose.

It's weird, I don't even care that Ant got shitcanned. It was long overdue.

Yea back in the day Patrice would keep things steered to funny. Ant was always a stupid racist sack of poo poo, but Patrice had the skill and humor to keep him pushed in a direction where it's shock comedy instead of just a sad old man screaming about niggers for a bit. Without Patrice there to go 'what the gently caress man' and keep him funny he just became a piece of poo poo about things. No one else has the balls to say "Anthony, shut the gently caress up for a second" and try to make things go a better way.

So, Monday, hopefully we'll have an idea where the show is going moving forward. Depending on what happens, I might close this thread. Anyone interested in making a new thread/threads? I haven't listened in over six months, I don't feel it's my place to do so.
