Tammy is a fucking boss. She's been all over twitter showing support for Ant. I wasn't a fan of hers before this but I like her now. I don't necessarily agree with Ant on race, but the fact he lost his job over all this makes me ill. Its just fucked up.
It would be one thing if he got fired for an offensive comedy bit, but they really don't have to defend this. Comedians generally rush to the defense of comedy--this is like getting mad that Joe DeRosa didn't defend Donald Sterling.
I'd be surprised if they did. Ant's racist schtick seemed tongue-in-cheek for a while, but after last year's eugenics talk and now this "black people = animals" Twitter meltdown, it's clear that it's not a bit and that he really believes this stuff. Why would Louis CK and especially Bill Burr associate with that?

So far the list of those that conspicuously turned-up missing has been comprehensive.
Only ones to stick their head above the parapet, Colin, Vos, ESD, and a minimum effort Bobby retweet of something someone else said.
All the others (thus far) lost their phones for the holiday weekend.

Ralphie May chimed in before the actual firing.

Also a retweet from Nick DiPaolo, not that that should surprise anyone

I will be listening to dipaolos podcast this week. I imagine he will be going off about the whole thing.

The REV Bob Levy has also been all over this. Good for him, no one else would put with his shit.

Why are they responsible for the content of this one radio show they sometimes appear on?

That's fucking cold blooded.

Understandable.
