I subscribed for the first 6 months, just so I could cancel it if he kept doing the same poo poo. And he did.

He should have paid attention to Ron when he told him to stop doing politics and focus on being funny. Ant even realized that he was kind of like Fez on the radio, but with race talk instead of gay talk.

Then he forgot it the next day and fell back in the same ditch due to his alcoholism.

I wasn't one of them, but I think people were willing to give him a shot and he failed miserably time and time again. Now the only subs he has left are truck drivers and similar pseudo intellectuals who think they have the world figured out from their trailer park

Wait, what exactly is going on? Anthony is losing subs and some idiot lurker thinks it's a goon rush thing or something? Do we even do that stuff anymore? I mean, I know there was that thing vs Reddit a few years back to get them to close down the pedo poo poo; but other than that, I can't think of anything major in the past five years at the very least.

Or are we just being blamed for trolling him on Twitter or something?

Anthony's getting the Opie treatment over at /r/opieandanthony for being a thin-skinned douche and one of the moderators over at the unofficial official Anthony subreddit think that it's a goon rush or Opie paying people to bad mouth Anthony. Both ideas being lol

It's been a year since Anthony launched the show and I think now that there's two good shows on his network, people feel like they don't have to brigade his worn out poo poo anymore. The hardcores are still holding out hope that the mythical New York studio will turn everything around.

The most recent thing anybody cared about SA publicly was when Lowtax pretended to close FYAD or when Abraham & Jeb Lund & some other people tried and failed at bullying a pre-teen on twitter.

Anthony has always been doing that to people who were lovely to him on twitter. He goes and finds something personal related to the person and sends it to him. I've heard him say it several times over the last year and even before.

This is why "pest army general" Dugout Doug suddenly disappeared.

*Huff* I've got my eye on you...

He's like DeNiro in that scene from The King of Comedy where Mrs. Long rejects his stand-up tape and he's all "I certainly don't want you to take it personally, but I have to tell you that I don't ... I don't have faith in your judgment."

The first few years of Ron and Fez on XM was pretty good. Anything up until 2007 or so will probably be good if not great.

Though if you want Fez in his prime you're gonna need to jump back all the way to WNEW.

RonFez.net used to have a decent selection despite its lovely web design. No idea if it still does as the site isn't working for me.

Anthony responded to all of the haterz

The collection of assholes on this sub is unsurpassed. The "secrets" that people try to reveal that have been public knowledge for years are so exciting for some of you retards out there. The "Doxxing" outrage is hilarious. Many have gotten my address wrong. loving morons. I'm the easiest person to find. Got bored bashing Opie did ya? Oh well, I'd be slightly worried if I thought this very small collection of dicks and assholes mattered for a second. Why respond than? Because it's entertaining to me. I'd love to see how many of you imbeciles live. So, I read your posts and get a pretty good idea. Not much better to do huh? And I'd love for one of the dummies here to assess what I've done with the show and network since starting a yr ago and explain how that amounts to failure and a downward spiral. At least make up a realistic story as to why it's failing. Well, that's much more time than you're worth. Keep listening fuckheads!

Is this the right attitude to take when those people pay his subscription fees...or at all since it shows he actually does care about what they think since he's taking the time to go out and talk about it?

I love how he's seeing this from the viewpoint of him and Opie being on different sides. He's just destroying every single thing he did on radio. He's basically Fez before the tearful 'retirement' speech.

Similarities between Anthony and Fez :

- Only talks about one subject
- Stents
- Hates Opie
- Doesn't listen to Ron's advice
- Pedophile
- Has a retarded redneck brother
- Hates his fans
- Paranoid delusions
- Father is dead while mother is still alive
- Agoraphobic
- Filled with anger
- Has craters on his head

It's just fun to see the backlash hit him so soon after he embraced them for attacking Opie. It's also going to be interesting to see if he's going to try to turn the ship when he gets the New York studio (pissing off his fans that expect race realtalk 24/7) or go all in (alienating everybody else)

But at least he's smart enough to try to lock up other talent to give his subscription model some value. If Sirius XM would have done that in 2007-2008, they might have been relevant today.
