Obama was a big part of it, but the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman incident was when I remember Ant really going off the rails and the jokes completely stopped being jokes.

It was definitely the Trayvon Martin thing that unlocked his dormant long island boomer racism

Ant did have a hilarious fake story around Obama's inauguration though. "OBAMA PRESIDENT NOW!!!" Yeah okay lol

I still listen to Jim and Sam. Jim has gotten a pretty boomerish in his old age. But it’s more stop taxing me let’s vote republican to be tough on crime boomer rhetoric. Obnoxious but not racist.

I believe Ant getting punched the gently caress out by a black woman who caught him taking creeper shots of him was the final straw.

Not as taciturn, but still terribly powerful...



I think Ants treatment of Al Sharpton tipped of his racism years before Obama and Trayvon. He could get along with black celebs in the studio but he couldn't handle black men getting 'outside their place'

What Doth Life?
Ant played off his racism as something taught by his parents for a long time. There was that context when he had the urge to say something racist, and maybe someone funny could make a joke about his messed up family (at least when Patrice was alive and Ant didnt burn his bridge with Bill Burr)

but the genuine hatred... why the genuine hatred anthony? you used to be the funny guy. does anyone remember laughter?

It's bizarrely funny that for people who had a supposedly popular radio show that only a few years after they left radio they are essentially forgotten about.

I'm glad I left before it got to that point.

Coincidentally, today was the seventh anniversary of the first Bennington show. They marked it by going around the room to talk about everyone's best moments of the past seven years, starting with Earl. Everyone started making GBS threads on Earl including the callers, and they never moved on to anyone else. As one person after another told stories (and even played clips) of Earl's weirdness and incompetence he of course flipped out, yelling at everyone. The only reason he even got on the show was because Gail had a baby and was out for months, and Ron needed another person to talk to besides Chris and Vito who were busy working the board and answering the phones.

I'm confused why the Pests think that following Opie or Ant today is entertaining, or that anybody cares anymore. We know how this story is going to end: Opie is going to live the rest of his life miserable in obscurity or die trying to get a viral video while Ant is eventually busted by the cops for child molestation and/or porn. Jim and Sam are going to ride out their Sirius show so they can keep getting a paycheck. Ron Bennington will eventually retire somewhere living a fairly normal life as a grandfather. Fez is dead. Chris Stanley will die of 'misadventure.' There are no shocks in how all of these stories will end here.
