💼 Careercow Anthony Cumia - A once successful radio host crashes and burns, turning on all his fans and the drama around it

[johnnynoname]

It started as a fucking goof. I’ve only seen a few people ever discuss it who’ve actually seen the episode in question. The truth is so much funnier than the myth.

The thing with Anthony, for me, isn't his bigotry... as I've gotten older, I find our views on race (mostly black folks) align pretty closely. It's that he's become so one note about it, he's become tedious to listen to. His pedophilia, however, I find highly objectionable... If he was just dating "barely legals" that would be one thing, but he does seem to have a legit taste for fucking kids. He's sick.

The problem with his views on race is that it is often non-productive and it is coming from the wrong person. Anthony is not a high-functioning white person who should be looking down on blacks. If he anything, he often displays the exact behavior that they do. I often have felt that his hatred of blacks is a projection of his own trashy behavior and the fact that he has mixed ancestry himself.

It is hard to watch someone like Jared Taylor be around Anthony because he is the polar opposite of what Anthony is: a high-quality white person who other whites should emulate.

All true. It was a multitude of things that broke him ultimately. Patrice dying, Obama, Trayvon Martin, being surrounded by sycophants, his innate immaturity and entitlement, becoming addicted to Twitter. The crazy thing to me is how unaware he seems of how far he's fallen. I think he legitimately believes he's more on top of the world than ever and has made zero mistakes over the past decade. It's just an insane lack of self awareness.

Anthony was always who he was. The man on the radio was often a cover for the pathological maniac he really was and now no longer hides.

I do think however in those last few years things got much worse for him. I think his alcoholism was really draining what was left of him. He was able to somewhat be less racist when he thought blacks were only so far deep in American society. Things like Obama and Trayvon made him realize that blacks were actually grabbing influence in society and that wouldn't be good for someone like him.

Anthony wants nothing to do with Opie, but you can tell Opie badly wants to do the O&A reunion show. Opie keeps teasing about a reunion show. Honestly, if Greg Opie wants a special reunion, he should trash Bill Burr in public. At this rate, Anthony hates Bill Burr more than Opie.

Opie consistently complains about how much he hated worked with Anthony, especially after Patrice died. Where does this idea come from that Opie desperately wants a reunion?

 

[Battlefield2142EU]

Where does this idea come from that Opie desperately wants a reunion?

Because Opie keeps bringing it up during his streams. At one time, he even said it was getting close to happening. Was it talked about here before and Anthony always calls Opie crazy for thinking a reunion show would happen.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Because Opie keeps bringing it up during his streams.

I watch his streams and the reason it comes up is because he gets superchats asking all the time about it from stupid people and trolls. One thing I do think is that Opie has not yet gotten over how much he hates Anthony and he needs to let it go, but I have never seen Opie express anything but contempt for Anthony and the idea of ever reuniting with him.

Karl from WATP used to point out that just mentioning O&A in the title of his videos would give him a massive boost in viewers.

This goes to my previous arguments in the thread that Opie does shit for attention sometimes. On one of his streams from the basement of Gebhard's, he was three or four beers deep and basically admitted that he does the streams for shits and giggles and for pocket change. The man has a penthouse in NYC, a mansion on Long Island, and kids that he's putting through school while not working a regular gig. I do not think he's hurting for money. Moreover, he's said during some of his streams that he regrets how much he worked on O&A because that meant he wasn't there for his family, which is where I think most of his attention is now focused.

I could be wrong about all of this, of course, but that's my assessment. Antknee definitely appears more obsessed with media relevance than Opie.

Questionable, at best. Opie met his wife around the time O&A was coming back on XM. This is also around the time that all the talent was showing up right before the show and trying to leave 10 minutes early every day. He "worked" a 20 hour week for 3-5 million/year. Woe is Opie.

This conflicts with what I've heard about Opie going to all the dumb meetings with XM suits and staying after to do production work.

He took meetings he was forced to take, like contract negotiations, but he wasn't Todd Pettengill showing up at 3am and leaving at 6pm. According to most accounts, the only people that ever did show prep were Sam and Travis.

Interesting. I heard that Sam, once he was producer, pushed a lot of work off onto the rest of staff. It's kind of hard to know the truth because everyone seemed to hate each other on that show.

An O&A reunion show ain’t gonna happen, especially now that Anthony is in South Carolina. I’ve always believed that O&A’s strength was the quality of the guests. For the reunion show, you’re just gonna get Jim Norton (who Opie hates) and any has been who can’t get booked on local morning zoo shows, like Nick DiPaolo. Bill Burr, Louis Cuck King, and Kevin Hart are not going to show up. So as much as fans still hold out for the chance of a reunion show, they don’t really want to see how it’d actually turn out.

the best of ona was the era of having guys like patrice, louis ck, cq, etc. before that was cringe and after ant scared away guests with his constant race talk and jim with crying about being a disgusting pervert for so long

Jocktober was always funny, in my opinion. The Scott Shannon heel turn towards the end was one of the funniest things that ever happened, as was Denny Falcone becoming a regular guest.

I don't have the clip on me, but there was a show where Patrice predicted the end of Opie & Anthony and he was almost 100% correct.

true, but Sam really pushed those forward. ona on their own were lazy as fuck once they got to XM and only got lazier

 

[Idiot Doom Spiral]

There’s one thing that never fitted in with the caustically bitter and resentfully vindictive nature of Anthony Cumia: the original departure of Dave Landau from Compound in 2021.

Why was Anthony so amiable about that, even when it all went sour between Dave and Crowder (although I recall he efapped Landau’s post-Crowder interview with Mike Malice, and Ant let out some ‘joking-but-not-joking-but-really-joking’ barbs at Dave then).

Am I forgetting anything here? I always wonder why the Bitterest Man on the Planet(TM) let that personal affront go so easily.

The more I hear him repeat his story and get really small details mixed up or outright wrong (ex. he claimed he was taking photos of scaffolding and eventually that part evolved to "buildings and people", he says the lady charged at him but now says she walked away and later attacked), the more I think that the Black lady didn't attack Anthony at all

Because Anthony is so famous for his respect for women and Black people, and his disdain for domestic violence, he totally would've let himself be slapped around in public by a Black woman for no actual reason (should you believe that part). Yes he could just be a chicken when things actually get serious and his "machismo" can't hold up, but the entire situation comes off as so outlandish (the ONLY reason why I'm not 100% is because he didn't say it was a gang of Black youth that did it, otherwise it would have been so on the nose)

Also, with how much he flaunts his police connection (having two former detectives be his chauffeurs, having a PBA badge that supposedly bails him out of traffic stops and tickets), you'd assume he would've called someone on her. I'm probably holding him in higher standards than I should, but his reaction to being attacked doesn't match up with the person he is (again he might just be a wuss which explains the discrepancies)

Just the premise itself doesn't make sense, he felt the need to start taking photos of construction scaffolding as if that never happens in midtown Manhattan

He was obliviously taking creep shots of her and got caught the same he does in airports when he’s trying to score Twitter points

He probably has a thing for Black women he's trying to keep secret. I remember he once said something about a Black prostitute he encountered years ago, I wish i could remember the episode and context

No guest would want to go to an O&A reunion, associating with Anthony is career suicide for a lot of them who want to go more mainstream like Joe Derosa and Bill Burr.

The non-celeb guests drifted apart; Bobo outgrew O&A, Lady Di is in a nursing home, and Marion, Stalker Patti, and Big A are nowhere to be found.

None of the staff would show up either; Danny and Kenny had falling outs with Anthony, Roland wouldn't go, Erock would maybe go but Opie is on bad terms with him. Would be funny to dig up Steve's corpse

There's already an O&A reunion, its Jim and Sam (with Travis)

I haven't watched any of Ant's post-OnA content but all I can assume is that it's unfunny trash. Only reason I could ever recommend censored.tv to anyone would be Hard Balls with Jim Goad. He's the only man who puts in any sincerity into his content. The rest of that network is 50 shades of unwatchable.

I'm very liberal so I had a strong bias against the political humor he would do. The Hillary stuff I rolled my eyes at, but once he began doing Donald Trump impersonations on a regular basis (does he love doing impersonations) I objectively couldn't stand it.

All his shows are just him talking about nostalgia stuff, reacting to Opie's tweets, "jocktobering" Opie's videos, making serious political talk, talking about his falling out with the O&A staff (only mildly interesting stuff he does), and a boat load of impersonations:

Example of the only good content he makes where he details falling out with past staff:

He also tried getting into stand-up comedy, and he and the other "comedians" of Compound Media went on tour. Not even Bobo bothered to show up so you know it had to be really bad:
