No, but you may get to keep your job afterwards, which is the point he's making.

Yes, according to the people who hire such personalities.

I think Anthony doesn't quite realize how many people torrent their live shows. What makes him think they won't do it for his podcast? poo poo, Lazlow's show was put up on TPB some time ago and I remember he said the number of active downloads were staggering vs. the number of people who buy the box set.

People are under a lot of stress, Bradley.
Even if Ant does get several thousand paying subscribers for LFTC, I honestly don't think he has it in him to be his own boss and do a consistent show. It'll be real easy when he's at home in the summer with endless booze and the pool to say "Eh, you've had enough show for today" after 36 minutes of babbling about crime statistics.

I think he'll hire people to make it really easy to do a show, however, these salaries will make the show unprofitable.

I think a lot of people are going to hold this opinion. It just sucks because behind all of his racism, hatred, and blind conservatism, he's truly a hilarious guy. No doubt way more entertaining than Ope and Jim, imo. :shobon:

Yeah anything he does isn't going to be "hell yeah now I can do the radio stunts that Sirius wouldnt let me do", it's going to be "now I can REALLY cut loose with what I want to say". Racism and rage is his life now, and his hobbies. We aren't getting him riffing on more Back to the Future movies, we're getting another (and far more unhinged) Adam Corolla podcast. Pass.

I stopped subbing to XM for whenever they started charging extra to listen to the online stream but I listened via YouTube for years after that. It was becoming increasingly apparent there were less and less youtube worthy bits over the years until I basically exclusively started listening to old shows.

I think the trayvon Martin stuff was when I perma punched out.

Don't forget Opie and Jimmy were also filling in between the stormfront rants. With nobody controlling him he's going to be going full throttle on the dog whistle racism. My guess is the show will be incredibly hit or miss.

Along with Ant drinking heavily, pointing his gun at the camera, and doing more things to showcase how someone can waste their comedic talent by being an utter rear end. That said, if he gets around to doing that Quincy episode with the Tourettes people, that could be worth it if he keeps the bigotry away.

Yeah, it was great. It was made even better for me by the fact that earlier that morning my local rock station (WBAB, as a matter of fact) was asking for only minorities to call in so they could tell them how much they were appreciated. They gave a set of tickets out to a guy just because he claimed to be a black dude.

Anthony stopped doing dog whistle racism in 2009, it's just overt racism now.

Sorry that you hate comedy. I enjoyed that intro gag anyway.

I actually empathize with the dumbasses who go "why wasn't he fired earlier if this is a problem", though they are ignorant that the problem is not allowing them or even really anyone to hear that poo poo on the air, but business and PR reasons that reach further. It seems silly on the face of it that someone who doesn't even listen to someone else's favorite show gets to dismantle it on the grounds that something is offensive, but nobody will ever speak out against that in significant force. It's sort of like the privacy argument, we claim to want privacy but then we video each other and shove it up on YouTube at the slightest opportunity. Basically we want it this way, gently caress you got mine.
