He's a good storyteller, even if most of his stories aren't as interesting as he might present them to be. He's a good guest. That Italian Pizza Guy saga bit he did a while ago was legitimately great. Plus, the stories about his demented mom and dad are some really honest and fascinating stories.

I saw Breuer at a PNC show, I think the last virus show. Sat there for 20 minutes in a haze, and then just had to ask the person next to me "This is supposed to be hilarious?" She fell asleep thru the entire rest of it, and I just looked forward for him to get off stage.

Is SiriusXM providing Fezzie's insurance cause holy poo poo "Fez - Medical" must be a line item on the expenditure report all by itself.

O&A have mentioned having in the past having no dental, and up until this obamacare upheaval, no decent/forced health insurance, because they're each an LLC and don't work "sirius/xm", that they work for their own company, which are then contracted to SXM.

Jim has said that he is covered, at least for health, out of SAG.

I guess I'm hosed in the head, I enjoyed Breuer's ranting about his old folks and Di's sociopathic response to her roommate's death equally. :shrug:

I work in health insurance (abeit in canada but its similar enough for this). I believe with Obamacare you're no longer able to legally medically underwrite someone prior to coverage so he'd be more than able to get individual coverage.

As for if he's covered under SiriusXM. I don't know the company size, but if I saw a claim like Fez's come through we certainly would be having a discussion to get him off the plan or at the very least limit his coverage so he can't make persistent large claims.

Vos said that Burr is actually calling Bonnie out on her poo poo, which none of the other comics (Norton, Bobby, etc) would ever do. Norton denied it and said he wouldn't hesitate to call Bonnie out if the situation warranted it.

Thursday on The Anthony Cumia Show, the extremely outspoken @Gavin_McInnes is live in studio.


If you're unfamiliar with Gavin McInnes, he's another right wing racist fuckwad and for some reason doesn't like Neil Degrasse Tyson.

He's got a livelihood to lose, especially if he continues to throw money around in the way he seems to. I know he's made several million, but millionaires have gone bankrupt before. I can see him going broke in 5-10 years if he's not careful.

For this paid podcast to work, he's gotta do more than cater towards a very small niche, but everything I've seen and heard doesn't sound promising. I'm not paying a monthly fee to listen to his sycophant hangers-on and right wing asshats.

Catering towards right wing racist idiots does pretty well for Fox.

Also Anthony fancies himself a dab hand at the old stock trading. He'll be bankrupt far sooner than five years.

I'll go even further and laugh at everyone here who doesn't think he's gonna be back to tin knocking in a year. The guy has never demonstrated any self control at all. His show is far too expensive and most of the subscribers are looky-loos who are going to disappear next week.

That's what I'm thinking. Unfortunately a lot of the O&A fans from reddit are basically talking about the mythical reunion between Opie, Jim, and Ant like it'll happen when Ant sinks everything he can into Victimization Pride Parade 2014. I mean, poo poo, this idiot has seen Casino, right? This is the Ant version of Aces High.

Yup. He could have thrown up his hands after this, deleted Twitter, and loving gone on vacation. Just vanish for a year, doing whatever he loving wants. Instead....

He also forgot a few lessons from this whole debacle: he's not that famous, he's not that popular, and drawing in people to pay to listen in a free medium won't help. It's an uphill battle that requires a lot of work with a high failure rate. He's making a lot of bad moves here.

He's probably going to end up being an underpaid shill on a right-wing website unless he gets toxic enough where he has to start shilling for late-night infomercials. I don't see any place hiring a middle-aged man to do A/C stuff given he's had a heart attack and can't deal well with anybody who isn't pure white.

In a perfect world Fez would be in therapy while trying to redefine his identity and career while BL took a role on the Ron Bennington Show. But if Patrice was alive, I think this poo poo would have not has gotten as far as it did. Mostly because Patrice would be mocking the poo poo out of Ant until Ant started screaming racial slurs, making Patrice laugh even harder.

Completely agree. Would love to see a breakdown of how many people subscribed for one month versus 6 months & a year. I would guess the vast majority are one monthers and he's doing a helluva job of winning them over.

The pool of potential viewers is a lot different between cable news and podcasts. Not only is it much smaller, it's younger and more left-leaning. Not to mention that the average conservative radio listener would run screaming from the Anthony Cumia Show the second he brings out the bikini girls and dick jokes.

I see it more 'Ron belittles Fez right up he commits suicide live on air.' Or simply say 'hey, guess what, Fez? I'm announcing my move to Opie and Jimmy and gently caress YOU, YOU LIFE-SUCKING <slur of your choice>!' The first subject on the O, J, and R Super Show will be how ESD is using Fez's entrails as a slip and slide.

Wow, I think I need to lay off the caffeine for today.

Not to mention Fox's ratings have been slipping lately due to their viewership dying out. This is the wrong time to start jumping on the conservative media bandwagon as the only ones who seem to get on it are people who used to hold elected positions.

I have a hypothetical scenario for everyone:
