For Anthony's sake, you are right. I just doubt there is enough upside for Jimmy to do that. He's got enough going on and it wouldn't really help his career. Any calls or anything else he does for the show would only be out of friendship. Jimmy has seen enough of his friends making it, I think he's ready to put the focus in his own career and that's what will happen later this fall.
In his defense, I'm sure he wanted to get up and running while the fans were still pissed. I'd imagine there'd be somewhat less interest if the first show was six months from now.
I don't think Jimmy can be driving back and forth to LI every day after waking up at 5am, doing his other show....and in between all the spots he does at night in the city. That would be a horrendous schedule.
I don't know man, I have been smiling for most of this show. Opie and Anthony is ideal but he is doing a great job so far. Give him a break, he hasn't harped on the race shit yet and he is getting some jokes in. So far so good in my opinion.
Obviously those who payed are going to try and give ant a break its something they just payed for.
If i buy something get home and start to realize it has some flaws i would be upset if people start to criticize it , but a month in all those criticisms turn out to be true and i end up throwing it out.
"his best"
...It's the FIRST fucking show by himself since shit went down. He's not going to be at his best, clearly. He's rusty. Give the man a while to work his magic. C'mon now.
Ant needs Opie more than Opie needs Anthony. Opie can find other funny people. How many people can actually run a show though? Not many. That's why most podcasts suck.
OJ is still pretty damn good, i got some good laughs in today with all the dick jokes with soder there.
Honestly i think OJ will do fine and possibly even renew with SXM, most of their listeners are people that listen for an hour possibly 2 on their way to work or truckers / ppl who drive for a living. That audience isnt going anywhere most likely as ant isnt an alternative for that.
They lost what maybe 30-50k ppl from the ant firing (i doubt that many ppl cancelled but a lot may have just stopped tuning in for whatever reason) id say they easily had close to a million listeners stern has about 3 million unique ppl that tune in every week (with about 2 that tune in every day) Id say its safe to say that OandA easily had at least a third of that as the second most popular show. They are still highly valuable to sirius and come october if they renew they may get a third mic full time, someone like dan soder would be awesome. Hes funny and a good replacement for ant (no one can really replace ant, but still) he does decent impressions and is generally pretty funny, and he has experience in radio he used to be on KROCK
The show use to be 3 guys and mostly two talking. The third doing whatever but mostly resting. Now opie and jim are constantly on. The guest comic isn't a host, the guys can rely on them to carry the show.
If opie and jim get stuck doing a show by without a guest it will really show as Sam will be stuck carrying ant's load. Sam can replace opie as the flow guy, but not ant as content provider.
I agree that they all need eachother. But honestly O&J still is awesome. And they've been on top of their shit in regards to making sure they have a third mic. With that said, even though I am enjoying the show, at least 5x per episode I think to myself how this would be so much better with Ant there
Dan Soder would make a good 3rd mic I think. With just OJ on I don't think its that great, its not bad by any stretch, but its not really enough. Soder has done very well on the show I've noticed a few times. They can't call in guests as favors every day, though I'm sure a lot of them with middling careers would be happy to come.
So the braintrust behind this show is Brother Joe, Keith the cop, and Anthony...lord god.
You fags got caught up in the frenzy, cancelled sirius, sent pics to Anthony for attention, signed a petition, tried to organize a rally, created a hashtag, AND subscribed to this? There is no way to describe your gayness.
There's nothing wrong with being an optimist, unless you're afraid of looking like a fool to people you'll never meet IRL. It's not like people were voting for the president or spending millions on swampland in Fla., after all.
yea pretty much, brother joe sounded so douchey when he called in to opie and jim a few weeks ago you could tell he was thinking "i hope you guys never get back together so i can ride anthony's coattails for real finally"
Ant just really isnt that funny by himself unfortunately he needs people to real him in, I had more laughs listening to opie and jim today (mostly thanks to soder but still) I know its the first show but he really needs a second chair or something, and not KTC or Brother Joe please.
The whole studio just looks really cheap , seeing a hand come out of no where to clink glasses with ant is cringe worthy, so was bringing out the big bottle of champagne that they didn't open, was that supposed to be for a laugh, find me the person that laughed at that .... seriously
Thats what I thought on the test run. It's great for 2-3 people on a wide shot, but for some of it, he needs to use a foot switch or have someone switch the camera shots to a mid close up. He's been on Fox enough times to know that.
After the show the mic was still on but everyone was in the far background. Turned my volume up as loud as I can go, my fucking kids wouldn't stop yelling at each other but I did make this out:
Anthony: "Holy shit that's incredible! ...inaudible talk... we'll be at 20,000 in no time!"
Sounds like Anthony has almost 20,000 subscribers already. That's a fuck ton for a paid podcast.
My absolute favorite thing about the O&A show is when Jimmy and Anthony riff off each other.
A 'Anthony & Jimmy Show' would be a dream come true for me. Jimmy's left leaning views would stabilize Anthony's. Add in a good guest (or call in) daily and you have the making of the best podcast of all time.
I don't think so. 20K subs is only $1.5M per year. Ant was used to making twice that at SXM. He'd have to split that 1.5M with Norton after expenses. You figure $200K to KtC, another $150K to the tech staff, another $50K for hosting and streaming. That doesn't leave much for Norton.
... rolling out of bed and stopping for a Guinness at the bar before wandering over to switch on the studio has a lot of equity for Ant. It's not all dollars. Enough for cat food and blackjack and Seinfeld cable re-runs and he's happy.
Livestream Premium streaming is 400bucks a month, flat-rate.
And this 3million bucks each Sirius number gets repeated a lot. Probably repeated too much. I think its a bit on the fanciful side. Well based on the show's ad and live-read rates, and how many people steal O&A, rather than subscribe, I think it was a lot on the fanciful side.
and 200large for a part-time man-servant?
I doubt Norton was collecting very much more than that doing O&A. He's said he makes more on the road, and he doesn't do a lot of roadwork.
Livestream Premium streaming is 400bucks a month, flat-rate.
That's the cheap rate. They have another plan at $1000 per month. But that's just the streaming cost. Add in the website hosting cost now.

But yeah, we're all just speculating/estimating here.
and 200large for a part-time man-servant?
Is he still a cop? I thought he was retired after 20 years ("20 and Out" is common in PDs and Ant mentioned Keith's 20 years on the force during the second-before-last test show).
I suspect very strongly that he's now working full time as Ant's personal assistant, security, and the show's producer. I think Ant depends on KtC a lot more than we know. Given NY cost of living $200K/y doesn't seem out of line, but I could be off by $50K.
ktc gets 200K? seems excessive.. I'm sure Keith is getting hooked up but thinking alot of the $ keith gets is from helping anthony in other ways.. unless this goes nuts then i'm sure Ant will hook keith up...
wow, that certainly is a good start. If he holds at 10k a month of subscribed people.. is that good?
(assuming a sharp decline after the initial month run)
Also: I'll be one of those people subscribing because I want the idea that I'll pay for quality TRULY UNCENSORED podcasts with a visual element.
I really want (I know it wont happen).. for the big corps to see how people dont want moderated, filtered content with eggshells all around and under the feet of the hosts.
Why are you trying to piss on it? It's obvious to everyone that he's going to be making a lot less money now, but why be a cunt about it?
Because you're a complete dick-brained mouth-breathing lolling-tongued imbecilic braying jack-ass that can't read a thread.
I answered the guy's question as to whether 10K subs was good or not, with numbers. I never said that $750,000 was bad, or made any judgments at all. If you weren't so stupid that you constantly have to be reminded to breathe you'd see that. Seriously man, lay off the rubbing alcohol before you go blind from it. It's already fucking up your reading comprehension, so you don't have much time left.
No, you weren't just answering the guy's question, as he didn't ask about Anthony's (rumored) O&A salary. You chose to add that as a way of making a cunty comparison.
But that whole "combat being called a cunt by acting even cuntier" thing you did was brilliant.
No, you weren't just answering the guy's question, as he didn't ask about Anthony's (rumored) O&A salary. You chose to add that as a way of making a cunty comparison.
How is he supposed to decide if 10K subs is good or not if he doesn't know how much Ant used to make, pinhead?
I think you won't really see this in the usual places. Any said he's releasing himself in a few days... but i'm proud of the uploaders for letting Ant control the show distribution for now (though I'm going to hope I can download soon.. not just stream)
they leave it out there because it doesn't really affect them. ant said in one of the test shows that he'll be more diligent about removing stuff online as now he owns the content.
You would be going to jail that morning, my friend. An arrest for assault is definitely something you should lose your job over. That's what I genuinely hope people get their lives ruined over, physical violence.
If you listen to the first show after Anthony got fired, and this sounds like the same fucking guy that Opie had on the phone for 20 minutes and was just whining and complaining. This fucking guy.
Show is excellent so far. He is making great points and the leading news story made a good example of what he tries to talk about. Ant might not make his point clearly, but I know I couldn't do a better job of speaking my thoughts either.
Same here, I hope this changes soon, or that alone might make me unsubscribe. I like that there's a visual element, but I primarily want to be able to listen to the show while I'm driving or doing other shit. And yeah, I don't have an unlimited data plan either.
1) Yes we know the audio isn't there for archive listening. By Friday it will be
2) Yes we also know the archived video is hard to find. We are making some site navigation changes to easily find things
3) Yes Paypal is still coming
4) Yes an App for all platforms is also coming
5) Yes baseball hats, sweatshirts and coozies are coming
6) Booze Cruise, Casino Poker Tournament and other events are in the works.
Hopefully for the most part everyone is satisfied with our progress to this point. Putting out a HD live streaming video podcast is not an easy process. Many hurdles have been leaped while many are still ahead. We set a deadline of August 4th for the live show. Something's Anthony, the developers and myself would have liked to have seen up already just weren't a reality in order to produce what we did today. We didn't want to push back the launch knowing everyone wanted to experience the show.
Well they thought they were talking to millions of people on Sirius, so you'll probably never see Opie on Internet radio. I wonder if he would retire first.
But the amount of money they need to make per month would only take a fraction of the listeners they had on SiriusXM since they'll be getting all the money after paying all their operating costs. If they were able to get 50k subscribers, that's ~350k a month and that's nearly 4.2 mil a year(before taxes/operating costs) without subscribers. They could take off as much as they want, not worry about lawyers stopping them and could do separate projects to add value to their subscription service.
You're not wrong, but I think it's more of a prestige thing with Opie. His idea of radio does not take place in a house. I don't even think he thinks it takes place on the Internet. I think, to him, radio is about working for a company, going into a company's studio, and talking to what management tells you are lots and lots of people.
I'm speculating, but this kind of attitude may be what's behind his desire to go viral. I think he wants to be famous than he is (who wouldn't?), and Internet radio might seem like a big step down for him. He fears he'll never go viral on that platform.
Yes, I also think Opie wants to be mainstream famous but it's probably never going to happen. He got lucky(so did Ant) they they met the right person to help them succeed and just like a lot of very good bands, they'll go their separate ways and neither will be as big as they were together but I think Anthony is fine with that, Opie though, I don't think he'll be happy a year from now.
Yea, I was looking for a way to disable the auto renew or to cancel for future reference in case I didnt like the show, and I couldn't find any options to do so.
You have to email the support email address to cancel. I emailed them asking how to cancel and this is what I was told. Also says so in the terms and conditions on his site. I'm not cancelling yet but I just wanted to know how.
Edit - go here to see how to cancel...
https://anthonycumia.com/terms
You have to be signed in to see the terms and conditions
It was nice to hear that he's looking to bring in other shows for his subscription. Should be interesting to see if ESD gets hired on to his own show also. Anthony could easily invest 50k or so to hiring ESD to keep subscriptions(more value) and possibly get some ESD fans to subscribe also.
I hope that Anthony creates basically a subscription network with multiple shows under the Live From the Compound brand. It's all about how much he wants to invest into something that could become huge.
There is a podcast called The Black Guy Who Tips, and he basically has done that. TBGWT is a free and old shows stay free for a bit, but they also have a subscription plan, which gives you all episodes of TBGWT and the other 10 or so podcasts they do.
Sure, it's very early on in this new way of making a living for Anthony, it'll more then likely evolve, more shows to bring more value to the subscription. I'm sure he'll end up having some sort of free content out there to get people interested in subscribing.
But it's early on and they're still trying to put the basic things in place like paypal, archived audio for download(which of course people will share) so Anthony will have to figure out a way to make his subscription a destination(subscriber only forums, live interaction) and not just a somewhere you go to download a show or view a stream.
I'm listening to his opening tirade (Simpsons reference) and if anybody was calling into the Opie and Anthony Show with this, they'd get the "GET OVER IT" treatment so fast. It's always different when it's you.
Ant really needs to lose that "news desk" background, it doesn't fit. He should build a big table like they had for Sirius and Xm, and do a round table, looking at each other, not a camera. Even Rogan does that - you can't have a good conversation staring at a camera/monitor.
What's going to really hurt him is that it takes place in Long Island. If you don't live in the area you don't understand how much of a pain in the ass it will be to have guests come in, and that really isn't going to change. I worry that it's going to turn into a public access show.
Its honestly only a 20 min train ride from Penn St. to Anthonys town where Ant can have one of his lackeys pick the guest up. It's honestly not THAT bad. It's terrible driving, especially when you go further east (to Ronkonkoma perhaps) but Ants house is a breezy train ride. LIRR is legit
Now I'm not a north shore guy, but I believe you would take the Huntington rail from Penn Station to Roslyn. Then some gladhanding white trash can pick you up from there and take you to the compound
The first half hour wasn't great, but he got into his groove and did well. Jimmy helped, but once he got over the incident, it got better. I was laughing quite frequently in the second hour.
That said, taking calls cold doesn't work on a two hour show. It's uncensored, it doesn't mean you can't filter out the good from the bad callers. A bad call kills momentum. He needs to invest in phone screening equipment, and get some kid from Hofstra (which is known for its college radio program) to screen.
Dice on the second show? When he held out on naming his second show guest I was thinking Ann Coulter or someone from Red Eye. Dice? Dice? That's more disappointing than E-Rock holding out that Big O and Dukes were going to be on Bageling with the Sex. I enjoyed the first show, but now you are throwing Dice on? Yecchhh....
Anyway it's not bad. You can tell he learned a lot doing radio so long. I've pretty much always been love Ant, hate his politics. But then I hate everybody else's politics. I have always been of the mind entertainers in general who have strong opinions don't matter to me. Ted Nugent, Eddie Vedder I don't give a shit either way. But I've always liked Ant and I support the guy.
No drops.. hes not going to attack any of the guests... because they are coming to his house...
no more cringe interviews.. no more jocktober ( ant's not going to take the time to go through shows and cut segments )
was hoping for Ant to vent some rage and go depth into the whole story on the first episode.. he obviously was nervous being alone and went to callers too quick and for too long.
I'm hoping he can pivot from this to an entertaining show. There will be no shortage of comics/celebs who want to drive out and hang on the show. Its a huge platform.
going with rush hour traffic. There will be plenty shortage of comics/celebs. Ant's not paying for a taxi, or reimbursing fuel. He's going to get an A-list comedian (in the O&A world) once in a blue. The rest of his guest will consist of "like-minded" individuals who barely have a public presence (think Mike Baker).
It's not so much that it's terrible. It's just that it only took me about three minutes to realize that this isn't a show I'd be interested in watching/listening to long-term.
That is an idiotic opinion. Seriously stupid. The first half of this show was him talking about his firing. I am sure he will be doing that "long-term"./s
Anthony awkwardly looking at the audience with no one to bounce jokes off of or fill dead air. Sorry, but Ant dropping show/movie references that just sit there or doing Dice with no production/board isn't entertaining. It's boring.
Also, without an app and no rss, I can't just walk around listening to the show. Do not feel like sitting in front of my laptop for two hours every afternoon. I realize an app is in the works, but they should have offered the show for free until that point.
My conclusion of the first show is that Ant really needs guest in it, i will be tuning in for Dice poolside, as for now everybody a good night and be well and shit...
I just emailed brother Joe. I told him Lamar is available for a poolside interview if they are interested. Joe immediately booked him for Thursday. Guess they are hurting for guests.
Did anyone actually think that chip call was that funny? Chip is funny because jim will randomly bust into him at the right moment with a really off colour funny comment. Not as a preplanned caller, i thought it was pretty lame. Like if ant and jim where in studio and he interjected with Big peckers (the only part of the call i chuckled at) i would laugh my ass off, but this was just lame. It was especially cringe worthy when ant started trying to plug jimmy's show, sorry ant jim can do that every day to 100x as many people (at least) and a good majority of them are your listeners too.
It was a nice gesture i guess but i thought it was rather pretentious.
People are actively protesting and trying to get that last part done. People at Walmart and McDonald's, for whatever reason, believe they should be paid $15 an hour for the menial shit that they do.
Edit: I say that, having worked Walmart for 5 years, and in fast food. I know what I'm talking about.
So for all the buzz and faggots changing their picture on twitter, you got zero effect on Sirius' stock price and a shitty show that you paying $7 for.
It's not so much that it's terrible. It's just that it only took me about three minutes to realize that this isn't a show I'd be interested in watching/listening to long-term.

Agreed, Jimmy needs to get into the show....
11 gazanga 2014-08-04
For Anthony's sake, you are right. I just doubt there is enough upside for Jimmy to do that. He's got enough going on and it wouldn't really help his career. Any calls or anything else he does for the show would only be out of friendship. Jimmy has seen enough of his friends making it, I think he's ready to put the focus in his own career and that's what will happen later this fall.

Just give Ant a change to develop the show,this shit is setup in a month time which is an accomplishment at its own.

It's not like he was forced to set it up in a month. He is the one who set the date
I'm sure it will progress as time goes on. He can take negative feedback a lot better than Opie. Hopefully, he listens to the fans' complaints

5 streetkingz 2014-08-04
OJ is still pretty damn good, i got some good laughs in today with all the dick jokes with soder there.
Honestly i think OJ will do fine and possibly even renew with SXM, most of their listeners are people that listen for an hour possibly 2 on their way to work or truckers / ppl who drive for a living. That audience isnt going anywhere most likely as ant isnt an alternative for that.
They lost what maybe 30-50k ppl from the ant firing (i doubt that many ppl cancelled but a lot may have just stopped tuning in for whatever reason) id say they easily had close to a million listeners stern has about 3 million unique ppl that tune in every week (with about 2 that tune in every day) Id say its safe to say that OandA easily had at least a third of that as the second most popular show. They are still highly valuable to sirius and come october if they renew they may get a third mic full time, someone like dan soder would be awesome. Hes funny and a good replacement for ant (no one can really replace ant, but still) he does decent impressions and is generally pretty funny, and he has experience in radio he used to be on KROCK

The show use to be 3 guys and mostly two talking. The third doing whatever but mostly resting. Now opie and jim are constantly on. The guest comic isn't a host, the guys can rely on them to carry the show.
If opie and jim get stuck doing a show by without a guest it will really show as Sam will be stuck carrying ant's load. Sam can replace opie as the flow guy, but not ant as content provider.

Thats what I thought on the test run. It's great for 2-3 people on a wide shot, but for some of it, he needs to use a foot switch or have someone switch the camera shots to a mid close up. He's been on Fox enough times to know that.

After the show the mic was still on but everyone was in the far background. Turned my volume up as loud as I can go, my fucking kids wouldn't stop yelling at each other but I did make this out:
Anthony: "Holy shit that's incredible! ...inaudible talk... we'll be at 20,000 in no time!"
Sounds like Anthony has almost 20,000 subscribers already. That's a fuck ton for a paid podcast.
7 Phillipmcd 2014-08-04
If that's true Ant could hire Jimmy in no time.
8 midnitefox 2014-08-04
My absolute favorite thing about the O&A show is when Jimmy and Anthony riff off each other.
A 'Anthony & Jimmy Show' would be a dream come true for me. Jimmy's left leaning views would stabilize Anthony's. Add in a good guest (or call in) daily and you have the making of the best podcast of all time.
0 rumpumpumpum 2014-08-04
I don't think so. 20K subs is only $1.5M per year. Ant was used to making twice that at SXM. He'd have to split that 1.5M with Norton after expenses. You figure $200K to KtC, another $150K to the tech staff, another $50K for hosting and streaming. That doesn't leave much for Norton.
5 fart_yourself_awake 2014-08-04
200 for Keith? Hahaha
1 Tom_Stall 2014-08-04
$200? Seems reasonable. $200k? Haha, no!
2 RupertRooksby 2014-08-04
... rolling out of bed and stopping for a Guinness at the bar before wandering over to switch on the studio has a lot of equity for Ant. It's not all dollars. Enough for cat food and blackjack and Seinfeld cable re-runs and he's happy.
Livestream Premium streaming is 400bucks a month, flat-rate.
And this 3million bucks each Sirius number gets repeated a lot. Probably repeated too much. I think its a bit on the fanciful side. Well based on the show's ad and live-read rates, and how many people steal O&A, rather than subscribe, I think it was a lot on the fanciful side.
and 200large for a part-time man-servant?
I doubt Norton was collecting very much more than that doing O&A. He's said he makes more on the road, and he doesn't do a lot of roadwork.
1 rumpumpumpum 2014-08-04
That's the cheap rate. They have another plan at $1000 per month. But that's just the streaming cost. Add in the website hosting cost now.
For whatever it's worth, there's this: http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/anthony-cumia-net-worth/
But yeah, we're all just speculating/estimating here.
Is he still a cop? I thought he was retired after 20 years ("20 and Out" is common in PDs and Ant mentioned Keith's 20 years on the force during the second-before-last test show).
I suspect very strongly that he's now working full time as Ant's personal assistant, security, and the show's producer. I think Ant depends on KtC a lot more than we know. Given NY cost of living $200K/y doesn't seem out of line, but I could be off by $50K.
1 mlabella5 2014-08-04
ktc gets 200K? seems excessive.. I'm sure Keith is getting hooked up but thinking alot of the $ keith gets is from helping anthony in other ways.. unless this goes nuts then i'm sure Ant will hook keith up...

Good numbers- http://i.imgur.com/9s2TIyo.png
7 lispychicken 2014-08-04
wow, that certainly is a good start. If he holds at 10k a month of subscribed people.. is that good? (assuming a sharp decline after the initial month run)
Also: I'll be one of those people subscribing because I want the idea that I'll pay for quality TRULY UNCENSORED podcasts with a visual element. I really want (I know it wont happen).. for the big corps to see how people dont want moderated, filtered content with eggshells all around and under the feet of the hosts.
2 rumpumpumpum 2014-08-04
20K subs would be roughly $1.5M per year. Half that would be $750,000. He was supposedly making $3M per year on O&A.
7 michaelcolestie 2014-08-04
How about advertising and merchandise? Paid appearances, etc...he's set anyway. It's a nice paycheck any way you look at it

750K a year is still fantastic for a dude who's completely unemployable.
And there's no commute!
Why are you trying to piss on it? It's obvious to everyone that he's going to be making a lot less money now, but why be a cunt about it?
-5 rumpumpumpum 2014-08-04
Because you're a complete dick-brained mouth-breathing lolling-tongued imbecilic braying jack-ass that can't read a thread.
I answered the guy's question as to whether 10K subs was good or not, with numbers. I never said that $750,000 was bad, or made any judgments at all. If you weren't so stupid that you constantly have to be reminded to breathe you'd see that. Seriously man, lay off the rubbing alcohol before you go blind from it. It's already fucking up your reading comprehension, so you don't have much time left.
1 devilsadvocate33 2014-08-04
The lady doth protest too much.
No, you weren't just answering the guy's question, as he didn't ask about Anthony's (rumored) O&A salary. You chose to add that as a way of making a cunty comparison.
But that whole "combat being called a cunt by acting even cuntier" thing you did was brilliant.
Nobody saw that comin'!

I wonder how good Anthony's numbers need to be to get O&A off sirius and doing what Anthony is doing solo right now.
1 Spokker 2014-08-04
Well they thought they were talking to millions of people on Sirius, so you'll probably never see Opie on Internet radio. I wonder if he would retire first.
3 NastyPiggy 2014-08-04
But the amount of money they need to make per month would only take a fraction of the listeners they had on SiriusXM since they'll be getting all the money after paying all their operating costs. If they were able to get 50k subscribers, that's ~350k a month and that's nearly 4.2 mil a year(before taxes/operating costs) without subscribers. They could take off as much as they want, not worry about lawyers stopping them and could do separate projects to add value to their subscription service.
1 Spokker 2014-08-04
You're not wrong, but I think it's more of a prestige thing with Opie. His idea of radio does not take place in a house. I don't even think he thinks it takes place on the Internet. I think, to him, radio is about working for a company, going into a company's studio, and talking to what management tells you are lots and lots of people.
I'm speculating, but this kind of attitude may be what's behind his desire to go viral. I think he wants to be famous than he is (who wouldn't?), and Internet radio might seem like a big step down for him. He fears he'll never go viral on that platform.
3 notmilesross 2014-08-04
Also. If Opie is his own boss, who is he going to complain about?

If they ever appear together, it would obviously be called Opie & Anthony.
1 [deleted] 2014-08-04
Very good points.
It's also Ant's house - Opie would have no authority there.
If they do a show outside of Sirius, they need a neutral studio.
1 NastyPiggy 2014-08-04
Yes, I also think Opie wants to be mainstream famous but it's probably never going to happen. He got lucky(so did Ant) they they met the right person to help them succeed and just like a lot of very good bands, they'll go their separate ways and neither will be as big as they were together but I think Anthony is fine with that, Opie though, I don't think he'll be happy a year from now.
2 Spokker 2014-08-04
Nah, I think Anthony looks desperate and awkward without Opie and Jimmy. It goes both ways.
2 PissedOnBible 2014-08-04
I bought a month for a test run. I like it so far. Does it auto renew at the end of my month subscription?
2 Spokker 2014-08-04

2 muyoso 2014-08-04
Yea, I was looking for a way to disable the auto renew or to cancel for future reference in case I didnt like the show, and I couldn't find any options to do so.
2 PissedOnBible 2014-08-04
You have to email the support email address to cancel. I emailed them asking how to cancel and this is what I was told. Also says so in the terms and conditions on his site. I'm not cancelling yet but I just wanted to know how.
Edit - go here to see how to cancel... https://anthonycumia.com/terms You have to be signed in to see the terms and conditions
2 NastyPiggy 2014-08-04
It was nice to hear that he's looking to bring in other shows for his subscription. Should be interesting to see if ESD gets hired on to his own show also. Anthony could easily invest 50k or so to hiring ESD to keep subscriptions(more value) and possibly get some ESD fans to subscribe also.
I hope that Anthony creates basically a subscription network with multiple shows under the Live From the Compound brand. It's all about how much he wants to invest into something that could become huge.
1 iBrandwin 2014-08-04
There is a podcast called The Black Guy Who Tips, and he basically has done that. TBGWT is a free and old shows stay free for a bit, but they also have a subscription plan, which gives you all episodes of TBGWT and the other 10 or so podcasts they do.
1 NastyPiggy 2014-08-04
Sure, it's very early on in this new way of making a living for Anthony, it'll more then likely evolve, more shows to bring more value to the subscription. I'm sure he'll end up having some sort of free content out there to get people interested in subscribing.
But it's early on and they're still trying to put the basic things in place like paypal, archived audio for download(which of course people will share) so Anthony will have to figure out a way to make his subscription a destination(subscriber only forums, live interaction) and not just a somewhere you go to download a show or view a stream.
2 drexler57346 2014-08-04

Ant really needs to lose that "news desk" background, it doesn't fit. He should build a big table like they had for Sirius and Xm, and do a round table, looking at each other, not a camera. Even Rogan does that - you can't have a good conversation staring at a camera/monitor.
1 callmesnake13 2014-08-04
What's going to really hurt him is that it takes place in Long Island. If you don't live in the area you don't understand how much of a pain in the ass it will be to have guests come in, and that really isn't going to change. I worry that it's going to turn into a public access show.
2 maynardsabeast 2014-08-04
Its honestly only a 20 min train ride from Penn St. to Anthonys town where Ant can have one of his lackeys pick the guest up. It's honestly not THAT bad. It's terrible driving, especially when you go further east (to Ronkonkoma perhaps) but Ants house is a breezy train ride. LIRR is legit

1 smithjosh 2014-08-04
The first half hour wasn't great, but he got into his groove and did well. Jimmy helped, but once he got over the incident, it got better. I was laughing quite frequently in the second hour.
That said, taking calls cold doesn't work on a two hour show. It's uncensored, it doesn't mean you can't filter out the good from the bad callers. A bad call kills momentum. He needs to invest in phone screening equipment, and get some kid from Hofstra (which is known for its college radio program) to screen.
Dice on the second show? When he held out on naming his second show guest I was thinking Ann Coulter or someone from Red Eye. Dice? Dice? That's more disappointing than E-Rock holding out that Big O and Dukes were going to be on Bageling with the Sex. I enjoyed the first show, but now you are throwing Dice on? Yecchhh....

yea I was doing it on my phone at work. wasn't bad video looked good

I hope the show hasn't peaked with this caller who hasn't realized he's been actually talking to Ant for the past 5 minutes.
0 frostyswirl 2014-08-04
How does this caller not know Ant's voice...

I don't listen to Opie and Jimmy anymore, and the jury is still out on Anthony's program. I'll probably end up listening to neither.

I wonder how aggressive Anthony will be with the takedown requests.
0 DAC027 2014-08-04
Is there an audio-only download of the first show from Ant's site? Dipped my toe in the water with a one-month subscription...
0 Spokker 2014-08-04
For such a racist show, I heard a lot of accents on the phone. What's with these foreigners calling in?
0 TOBYsoap 2014-08-04
I subscribed, but I missed todays show because of work. Is there a way to re-watch the show?
1 tomj 2014-08-04
Go to his site and log in. There is an archived video available for viewing.
1 TOBYsoap 2014-08-04
but when I click on the links it takes me to the subscribe page, but I already did, I even got a conformation email... I just don't get it
0 BruceMittman 2014-08-04
Anyway it's not bad. You can tell he learned a lot doing radio so long. I've pretty much always been love Ant, hate his politics. But then I hate everybody else's politics. I have always been of the mind entertainers in general who have strong opinions don't matter to me. Ted Nugent, Eddie Vedder I don't give a shit either way. But I've always liked Ant and I support the guy.
0 darkblight 2014-08-04
sorry but ant's show today... was boring.
No drops.. hes not going to attack any of the guests... because they are coming to his house...
no more cringe interviews.. no more jocktober ( ant's not going to take the time to go through shows and cut segments )
was hoping for Ant to vent some rage and go depth into the whole story on the first episode.. he obviously was nervous being alone and went to callers too quick and for too long.

I'm hoping he can pivot from this to an entertaining show. There will be no shortage of comics/celebs who want to drive out and hang on the show. Its a huge platform.
1 keytoitall 2014-08-04
going with rush hour traffic. There will be plenty shortage of comics/celebs. Ant's not paying for a taxi, or reimbursing fuel. He's going to get an A-list comedian (in the O&A world) once in a blue. The rest of his guest will consist of "like-minded" individuals who barely have a public presence (think Mike Baker).
1 Clown_Shoe 2014-08-04
He's already said he's looking for a limo service.
1 WhiskeynPeanutbutter 2014-08-04
After 30 minutes?! Is it that bad? I cant listen until 5:30 being I'm at work so I truly have no idea what I'm missing.
1 wifflebb 2014-08-04
It's not so much that it's terrible. It's just that it only took me about three minutes to realize that this isn't a show I'd be interested in watching/listening to long-term.
0 muyoso 2014-08-04
That is an idiotic opinion. Seriously stupid. The first half of this show was him talking about his firing. I am sure he will be doing that "long-term"./s
0 wifflebb 2014-08-04
Anthony awkwardly looking at the audience with no one to bounce jokes off of or fill dead air. Sorry, but Ant dropping show/movie references that just sit there or doing Dice with no production/board isn't entertaining. It's boring.
Also, without an app and no rss, I can't just walk around listening to the show. Do not feel like sitting in front of my laptop for two hours every afternoon. I realize an app is in the works, but they should have offered the show for free until that point.
1 muyoso 2014-08-04
Yea, I agree with all of that, but I am not going to give up a day in after listening for the last 12 years.

My conclusion of the first show is that Ant really needs guest in it, i will be tuning in for Dice poolside, as for now everybody a good night and be well and shit...

I just emailed brother Joe. I told him Lamar is available for a poolside interview if they are interested. Joe immediately booked him for Thursday. Guess they are hurting for guests.

Someone send Dice to Media Matters. Does he really want to be associated with this? Media Matters will protect us from the bad thoughts.
-5 streetkingz 2014-08-04
Did anyone actually think that chip call was that funny? Chip is funny because jim will randomly bust into him at the right moment with a really off colour funny comment. Not as a preplanned caller, i thought it was pretty lame. Like if ant and jim where in studio and he interjected with Big peckers (the only part of the call i chuckled at) i would laugh my ass off, but this was just lame. It was especially cringe worthy when ant started trying to plug jimmy's show, sorry ant jim can do that every day to 100x as many people (at least) and a good majority of them are your listeners too.
It was a nice gesture i guess but i thought it was rather pretentious.

-1 MonsterRayn 2014-08-04
People are actively protesting and trying to get that last part done. People at Walmart and McDonald's, for whatever reason, believe they should be paid $15 an hour for the menial shit that they do.
Edit: I say that, having worked Walmart for 5 years, and in fast food. I know what I'm talking about.
