For everyone else who is as confused as I am, Anthony Cumia was the Anthony in Opie and Anthony, a radio show notorious for being two dumb racist sexist monstrous assholes who hide behind the guise of comedy. Jim Norton loves them because his brand of comedy is close to theirs, but he's actually funny.

So, apparently Dave picked a fight with a much larger bugbear than himself.

Why are Opie and Anthony relevant in 2016? Aren't they on some tiny Sirius station or something now?

The radio show is Opie & Jim now, Cumia was finally fired in 2014 for being a racist shithead. Then he started his own subscription-based video podcast thing, which is adding new shows, so I guess he still has his audience?

I'm guessing Dave was referencing this.

Anthony Cumia has a McMansion on Long Island filled with assault rifles, and he attracts a huge amount of violent gun nuts, so I don't really blame Dave for taking threats from those people seriously. At the same time, the guy definitely deserves to be told to go gently caress himself, so...

As someone that has a lot of friends who tweet about politics there really is nothing worse on the internet than being noticed by a racist account with lots of followers unless one is a fan of having their adress tweeted out and their family threatened to death by a couple hundred people a day so I totally get why he took his account down

I made fun of this vaping MRA dude on Twitter once and then found out he runs some big MRA website and I got like 500 @s in two days.

Probably late to the party, but what's this with a planned Patton Oswald collab falling apart? I haven't listened to the recordings they already did, so can't say if the chemistry was bad to begin with.

It's also a great example of thinking you know the whole story. Everybody, I think, knew that graham crackers were designed to suppress sexual urges, but then they just keep plumbing the rabbit hole.

Man the volume is all over the place on this one. There's mumbling and screaming, manipulating the volume slider became a mini game. Wish they'd use a compressor before uploading volatile live stuff like that.

After listening to the new-ish ep about the Broderick Terry Duel, I really don't get Dave. Most standup comics watch a shitload of TV and movies, and being in Hollywood you would think that at some point in his goddamn life Dave would have seen or heard the term "carotid artery" in regards to someone getting shot or stabbed in the neck, but somehow even with his broken spellcheck (from pasting damninteresting.com text out of Safari and into Pages on his iPad) hint of "c____ artery" he can't quite figure out the word.

I would loooooove to see a weekly video podcast where Dave struggles with a crossword puzzle while Patton Oswalt just verbally shits all over him.

It's really not that bad a city anymore. It carries a reputation thanks to a mostly volatile and disgusting 20th century, but now the majority of poo poo Philly takes is based on stuff from the past. Nobody's going to mistake it for paradise anytime soon, but basing your interpretation of modern-day Philly on things like MOVE and Rizzo isn't particularly fair.

Still has a chip on its shoulder, though.

You know that shithead friend you have that tells you when you first meet him "Yeah, I'm an rear end in a top hat" and then uses that as justification to be the worst human being ever? "I told you I was an rear end in a top hat, brah!" he yells as he gets super drunk and picks a fight with the beefiest dude in the bar, or aggressively hits on any woman near him no matter who they are or whatever the context. The one who always seems to get you on the verge of getting loving arrested whenever you hang out with him.

Yeah, Philadelphia is that guy, but a whole fuckin city. In fact that shithead friend was probably Philly born and raised

I listened to the first ever* Dollop yesterday, and it's about Cliven Bundy, father of the guy who's leading the Oregon occupation. Cliven had a similar confrontation over farmland in Nevada two years ago. Interesting stuff, some crazy poo poo most americans are probably familiar with already, like the Oath Keepers.


e: Dave talks about three episodes he did by himself, but they are not part of the RSS feed.

He decided they didn't fit what the dollop has become, and deleted them. Listen to the episodes on The Rube, the 50 cent beer night, and maybe the tickling episodes or the dolphin episode.

Just checked this out after a recommendation from Jon Bois. Dave is such a fantastic storyteller, and he has a great comedic rapport with Gary. I've been going through anything related to baseball and Philadelphia so far, think I'll start branching out a bit more.

I really enjoyed the most recent episode, which was about the infamous 1904 Olympic Games. I remember reading about them when I was a kid and getting blown away by how insane they were, and somehow they were even worse than I remembed them being.
