Anthony hasn't struck me as a very confrontational dude unless he's on the radio/in his car/clearly safe from anything happening. He's really just a scared man wearing mommy's shoes. I don't have any problem believing that Anthony only got racial and angry after she assaulted him.

This.

The way he talks speaks volumes about how scared he is about being mugged/robbed/gunned down. I think if the woman ever spoke up all we'd get is "he was a stuttering creeper taking pictures of me". Infact did he allude to taking his gun into the sirius building a few weeks ago? Doesn't strike me as a man who has alot of confidence in his ability to control a situation.

Jim was lightning quick with the bombs that day.

Speaking of silly Jimmy, these Jim Norton laugh compilations are some of my favorite show moments. It's essentially Ant making Jim do the wheezing laugh for 40 minutes:

This is the reason why I think Jimmy's going to go with Ant. No one makes Jimmy laugh like Ant. The two have such a great comedic chemistry. Honestly, Ant needs to just get his poo poo together and get out of this racist paranoid poo poo-hole he's dug himself in and do some comedy projects with Jimmy and his comedy buddies. Ant's talents have been underused all these years on the show, it's time he's moved onto other things. This might be good for him.

If it ends up being the Opie and Sam show I just won't listen. Sam is genius but I cannot handle him in large doses, he has a very short shelf life in any given show before he gets to annoying me even worse than Opie at his flow-crushingest.

Do you think Anthony will even be allowed to call in or will SiriusXM put a full gag order on the situation in place, or somewhere in between? I have a feeling they'll do whichever option is stupidest.

The prospect of an Opie and Ron show makes no sense to me. Ron and Fez has always been a very different show, regardless of the friendship the two shows have had and the fact that they were on the same channel for years. Ron brings out the best in pretty much everyone on the air, but Opie sucks and at best I think Ron could pull out a couple decent shows before the novelty wore off completely.

Ron hasn't always done that type of show. Ron & Ron were Opie & Anthony a decade before they even met. And when Opie doesn't feel like he has to steer the ship, he's not half bad.

Yeah I think Ron absolutely has to own every room he's in, which leads to him relentlessly picking on his co-hosts, producers etc. If there's one thing I know about Opie, it's that he can't handle it when he becomes the butt of the joke. So a Ron + Opie combo would be doomed - they both would want to run the show, but Ronnie B always wins, and I don't think Opie has too much to offer aside from show running.

I think Sam would be a decent replacement for Opie, but not Anthony. He's much more in-tune with pop culture and is actually good at interviewing celebrities. Opie at this stage just seems out of tough with what's going on in the news. His contributions these days is complaining about equipment which makes for terrible radio and going to the phones which are 90% of the time terrible calls.

Opie was good in the past because he had no conscience. He'd trash a celebrity to their face and wasn't afraid of making everyone uncomfortable. It made for great radio that he just didn't give a poo poo. He's mellowed out a lot which is expected with age, but it sort of killed his biggest contribution to the show.

Which reminds me, one of my favorite segments was their interview with Tucker Max when they called him out on his bullshit. This was what Opie was great at.

Hmmm yaes, Something Awful Dot Com only became famous for poorly photoshopping 9/11, not absolutely anything else they did ages ago or the fairly significant amount of frontpage content.

I don't think you remember what it was like before, when "friend of the family" and "human being" were the go-to insult of 90% of the forums as if you were calling someone a nerd. It was kinda gross! Apparently Lowtax thought so too and asked for people not to use those anymore, and I believe got poo poo on quite a bit for it? But yeah, poorly-made 9/11 photoshops aren't really the same sort of thing as unironic, flagrant racism.

I have never said he shouldn't have been fired and to be honest I don't really care if he has his satellite radio gig or not. I just think the overblown outrage from people on the internet is sad.

He said a naughty word and you and others like you are running around like a pack of third graders whispering about it like it was the crime of the century as if anyone's feelings where actually hurt by Anthony "maybe hitler wasn't wrong ha ha but not ha ha" Cumia's words. Anthony Cumia saying friend of the family did not take the food out of some poor black child's mouth. Anthony Cumia saying friend of the family did not oppress a black man/woman or kill anyone. Anthony Cumia saying friend of the family did the sum total of zilch, zero, zip, nothing, nada, 0.00000~ in the grand scheme of things. There was no black child in Harlem who gave up their dreams because Anthony Cumia said friend of the family. He is just a dumb little man who said a dumb thing calm down everything is going to be ok no one thinks that white people as a whole have negative intentions for minorities. If he called her a friend of the family it's good that she punched him in his stupid mouth. If she started punching him in the face because he took a picture of her I'm a little less inclined to say that's good but whatever. That he posted a racist rant on the internet and it cost him his job is fine that's sirius' choice. But the hand-wringing and huffing and puffing here and other places on the internet is silly we're not talking about a societal movement to opress minorities here we're talking about Anthony "maybe hitler wasn't wrong ha ha but not ha ha" Cumia running his dumb mouth. and yes to be clear I'm telling you it's stupid to be mad that some idiot who doesn't matter said friend of the family or oval office or whatever the story is now.

Casual racism isn't wrong and none of the mouthbreathers who listen to the show thought that Ant made good points. And certainly none of them blamed the jew media after Ant got himself into a jackpot. Nope, none. And everybody in this thread is furious that Ant went on his rant, not laughing at the hilarious way his career ended.

reminder that anthony cumia got beat up by a black woman so hard that he lost his job

that's pretty much what we're laughing about here i don't think anyone in this thread was "shocked" by what he did. after years of abhorrent racist views, supporting stop and frisk, supporting blatant violations of the rights of anyone as long as they weren't white, and openly fantasizing about killing brown people, he got a comeuppance that you literally couldn't write if you tried and its funny as heck

edit: like, this man actually did not care one iota about anyone's rights except other white males like himself, so to see people boohooing about his made up right to not be fired for being a turd (let us not forget his views on free market principles) is pretty hilarious as well
