subject: was brainstorming last night about your "situation" with the pests

to joecumia sent just now

ok so when i'm working i tend to think about stuff and well was kinda analyzing your conundrum with the pests. It's a bit of a tough spot for Ant cause they fucking hate you and he's kinda gotta pretend he does too eh. So not good for him being between a rock and a hard place. You're like toxic to his shit eh and he can't pretend you're too much buddies. Its kinda like back in high school when the gang hates someone, if you're pals with the outcast you're fucked too. Kinda like what i'm doing sticking my neck out for you, but pretty much don't have time to hang around here so i don't really give a fuck. Plus i always stood up to the pests and said what i thought even though they'd downvote the shit outta me. But yeah, Ant, he can't really "stand with you" because it's not good for business. lol. So good luck with him and you there hope ya understand for him it's business and nothing personal.

Anyways, i was thinking about your situation and what i had said last night it was like, "why do the pests hate you". Was for you and pietaro to try and figure out.

So i was thinking about shit and came up with this idea of having me as a 3rd mic. Can't afford to go down there but thought oh hey how about me doing it remote from here. I got a pretty good internet and would need some type of software so i could connect my computer to your outfit. I don't know if skype would be direct enough. I don't do cams though cause i pretty much look like you so it's not good for business. lol. But it'd be audio only. And people listening like in a car wouldn't be able to tell the difference. So not bad quality like phone.

I'd like, uh.. be on the constant line the whole time and if you want my 2 cents about something, oh i'd tell it to ya straight. But yeah, uh the show would be called "The Joe, Joe and Joe Show". lol.. get fucking pietaro out from behind the camera and on as 2nd mic. But uh, you could try it you and him but it'd be a brown-nose sucking up to each other fest. You'd need me who's not afraid of anybody to tell 'em straight with the truth and uh, just my observations of shit. Kinda balance it out. So yeah you'd change the show name.. trust me, your show with your name is corrupt and bad for business. You're fuckin toxic, and this would fix it. You could be like an opie steering the ship. Cause ya know, just you, your personality is bland, dull and boring. ok it's true, listen to the pests. Ya lack charisma and pizzazz.. But ya still got a bit of a sense of humor, you can tell by that subreddit layout, ok.. uh, ya just need help with a couple other people to bounce off of, and you'll do ok.

Allright, i'll cut it short and fire this off. And then i'll send it to pietaro. And checkout how i made a post of the couple mails i sent you guys, over in the r/opieandanthony. See, i know how to handle the pests. You, ya don't. Ya don't start telling them off cause they'll fuckin eat you alive like a buncha mosquitoes. Ya gotta be like me, and even if they tell me off, i laugh with them, at myself.. ok.. that's how you handle the pests.

fuck am i ever gonna take some heat from ya guys over this one. lol..

here's a couple mails i just sent:

---

subject: another fwd of another message i sent to brother joe

to Joe_Pietaro sent sat 1am

hey mr pietaro, did i misspell your name before, may have spelt it pietero.. haha.. ok was trying to sleep and was trying to think about issues you guys are dealing with and just sent this to brother joe. I also mention how i sent you a copy of the previous message. ok just trying to help you guys out, cause you guys got major stumbling blocks here and ya gotta address this shit and not ignore it.

---

subject: oh thinking about more stuff about how you're trying to get your show going...

to joecumia sent just now

oh there was also this one.

"Can we get into a deep discussion analyzing why Brother Joe is failing so bad trying to get his new show going? lol"

http://www.reddit.com/r/opieandanthony/comments/2ibupz/can_we_get_into_a_deep_discussion_analyzing_why/

ok when i did something like that, it's not hater. It's seeing that everybody's hating you and i was trying to analyze why, what's going on and think of possible solutions. So i was trying to help you out.

Was trying to sleep earlier and was thinking.. ok what's the problems he's got going on with trying to get this show going. Well it seems like the pests don't respect you because of this whole coattails thing. Ya know, maybe if you made a bit of fun about yourself with it, and laugh at yourself, they'd relax. Cause right now you're all worked-up about it and any sort of criticism of you, you get defensive and it's just the wrong way to go about it. Maybe if you made fun of things they hate about you, they'd laugh instead of being pricks. I don't know, maybe talk openly and try and analyze why they hate you. Give some answers to what they hate about you, and your reasons for doing things.

What's going on right now is, it's like how they hate opie. He just doesn't address issues and doesn't talk about it and they just hate 'em more. If he'd just talk about shit openly instead of hiding it then they'd respect him more. Cause right now opie think's he's king shit and i think the way his subreddit is failing kinda speaks to what they think about him. Any sort of criticism towards opie he just doesn't address it. Like that guy that called him and tried to point out how he steamrolls over people. Opie flipped out and it's just not cool.

So yeah i'd embrace the whole coattails cumia thing, make fun of yourself a bit and quit being so serious, ya know.. then they'd laugh instead.

I don't know dude.. it must be fucking tough to try and do a show where ya gotta be "ON" all the time. Ya know, where ya gotta try and be funny. I couldn't do it. Maybe that's not your thing though to try and be "funny". Maybe just do what you wanna do instead of trying to be like Ant.

I don't know.. just trying to analyze what the problem is here with why the pests have such contempt for you, and what type of solutions there could be.

I also sent a copy of that previous mail i sent you, to pietaro. Just kinda suggesting to him, that he should take care of everything so you can get some fucking sleep.. haha.. Or you're gonna burn out. But yeah i just said, the main thing here, don't be discouraged by this shit and oh the main thing you gotta remember is "remember to have fun". No matter what's going on, how much the pests hate you and shit.

But yeah you guys gotta stop for a sec and analyze what's going on with why the pests hate you so much. Why do they hate you? What can you do about it. Because to continue is kinda like opie over at his subreddit there, even if he got a bunch of fans in there, there's still underlying issues he's not dealing with.

Opie's like an ostrich with his head in the sand when it comes to criticism about him. He doesn't fucking deal with it. If he'd just address the issues out in the open, and talk with the fans honest and openly about shit they got problems with, then i think they'd be more cool towards him. So you got a bit of that going on with you, you got the pests that hate you and you and pietaro need to sit down and think, ok what can we do about this.

ok gonna send a copy of this to pietaro after this. But yeah, the main thing is, don't be trying to be funny like Ant, cause that's more you trying to be like him. Be yourself instead even if it's not funny. ok dude.. cause you know sometimes shit is, and you're a funny guy in there.. just don't fucking force it. lol. Cause it comes off as desperate. And you can tell you're getting down on yourself about shit lately.. just gotta let it go and do what you feel. ok i gotta go to work. lol

subject: words of encouragement i just sent to brother joe

to Joe_Pietaro sent sat 12am

hey mr pietaro, nice seeing you around.. here's what i just sent to joe. Just wanted to say, hey, you do everything and leave him get some rest or he's gonna burn out trying to do this and his band stuff. lol.. But yeah i was just jokin around over at r/opieandanthony trying to help mention you guy's stuff to try and get some sort of traffic over there. But with the pests ya gotta pretend you're joking around instead eh, reverse psychology. But fuck, can't really convert those guys to liking him. Whatcha guys gotta do is just "remember to have fun" with your stuff ok? That's the key. Cause you guys are taking fire bad out there.. hahaha.. so thought i'd say hi.

ok here's what i sent him.

---

subject: thought i'd give you some words of encouragement.. haha.. not kidding.

to joecumia sent just now

Ya look beat down and discouraged in Ant's vid. I was thinkin', he's probably busy working on this stuff as well as has to do his band thing. He's gonna burn out and better make sure ya get your rest and leave Pietaro look after everything. All you gotta do is be like a newscaster on a tv station where somebody else does everything and all they do is get up there refreshed and read a paper. haha. Cause if ya try and do everything, you're gonna burn out. Make sure ya get your rest.

Thought i'd drop you a message cause you seem like you're close to giving up there. Sure are getting beat down bad out there.

ok so i was the guy that was joking around but i was doing it to try and get some sort of promotion going and word of mouth to try and help you get the ball rolling. My name is joel, by the way. So yeah i had made this funny edit of your show with just the no content parts:

"The Joseph Cumia Show rundown episode 01"

http://clyp.it/vurshh51

I had downloaded all the episodes and was gonna look for funny clips. So that was from episode 1, 2 as you at ant's and the quality was low and not much material to make fun of you with so skipped that one. Then i get to episode 3 looking for clips and i'm there.. damn he's on the ball and not fucking up. I'm there, fuck can't really make fun of this guy and felt bad about it so sacked the project. It's too bad there was a clear high quality version of dara and that white lies i wanted to get in there somewhere cause that shit was good.

Oh wanted to mention, when i was going thru the shows, those fucking volume levels were over clipping above 0db and redlining too hot. I was using izotope rx to de-clip and it had fixed it on episode 1. But yeah bro, watch those too hot levels. Fuck in 3 it was really way too maxed out.. hahah.. Its like turning a bad ghetto blaster to 10. Keep an eye on those levels.

But yeah if you think you're bad screwing up, ya don't really.. checkout me doing that for 35min of the start of an opie show. Holy fuck does he every go AHHHH, "you know".. aaaannd.. fuck check this shit out if you think you're bad.

"Opie trying to do a live read"

http://clyp.it/myshordp

Then i seen your indiegogo campaign the other week and wanted to like try and i don't know, help ya out so made fun of it with that fake amount pic.

http://i.imgur.com/kgHRloI.png

I was just trying to mention stuff over at r/opieandanthony to, i don't know just have a link over there to try and help ya out. You know with the pests ya can't be nice so it's a bit of reverse psychology to just let 'em know ya had a subreddit over there to try and help ya get some traffic.

Sounds like you're getting a bit discouraged over there though and just saying hi. Few other things.. don't get too down if your show doesn't look as high quality as Ant's.. that set looks a bit more rough but hey it's better than when you had the regular room background. Ya might say it's not as good but i don't know.. just keep going dude.

oh yeah, when the pests bug ya, or anybody else out there, it seems to get to you. Just relax and don't let the pests get to you. Fuck i used to have a profile over at r/opieandanthony for a long time and i had -300 karma! hahah.. yeah i didn't care and would talk about shit about the show eh. So ya gotta be more like that where it's water off a duck's back. Any sort of criticism, just let it go. Keep doing what you want and don't get discouraged. Because eventually you'll get shit smoothed out.

Oh also seems like you're embarrassed about having glasses or something, and ya keep putting them on and taking them off. And you're squinting trying to read without 'em. Bah, just leave 'em on so you can see.. haha.. Don't worry about shit, just relax and have fun.. ya know what i mean. Ya gotta just be able to poke fun at yourself and not take things so seriously. ya know what i mean? i think it might be because you're a perfectionist and anything where you see inadequacies it gets to ya.. so this shit overload right now with the discouragement about the whole thing not going to well.. it could get to ya and almost make ya derail the whole thing. Fuck 'em and just keep going dude. ok i gotta keep this short. lol

oh when you first started this thing i had thought oh fuck i thought of paying 100 bucks to get a plug for some music shit i work on.. but i'm so screwed on cash lately, 2 car payments in one month and car insurance and shit.. i can't fuck around eh but yeah later in the future i might uh think about doing that if i get some extra cash. Its too rough though right now. But yeah, relax and let pietero take care of shit.. take care of yourself and even laugh at yourself so the pests shit is ineffective. Then when they see it doesn't bother you, they'll stop buggin ya.

I used to fuck around lots over at r/opieandanthony but i had to sack it cause i gotta work on tunes instead eh. Too much time fucking around on the subreddit so sacked the account. Kept going back fucking around and would make a new profile but can't fuck around so sacked it. It's like crack.. so yeah getting the hang of wasting time fucking around eh.. so that's whats up with me not horsing around over there anymore. ok i gotta go. Hang in there dude.. thought i'd say hi cause it looks like the shit is gettin' to ya.
