Devastated and bothersome

ME: I didn't read it, but i had my people give me bullet points. Sam isn't here yet so there are a few words Im having trouble pronouncing, but once he clears that up I'll give you my side of things.

Well he can't read so I'd believe him on this one.

[deleted]

This is how we do it! http://i.imgur.com/d3zXspG.gif

"My side of DINGZZZZ"

Wonder how Shelly will take this. No one is asking for his side

Gregg "Opie" Hughes was quoted as saying "That assh*le never even came to see my $7 million dollar apartment."

I didn't have to see it. I built it.

I fucking love you.

Out of everything you've said in the past week, this is definitely the boldest.

Fucking savage

I feel like a witness or something, like someone's gonna have to take my statement.

HOLY FUCK SHOTS FIRED

Holy fuck, pouring a little more gasoline onto that fire are we?

God damn!!

I did the Caddyshack double take. You just Rodneyed a boat.

Looks good on you though.

holy fuck nigga u aint got NO chill!

Ohhhh shit son. Not holding back anymore. I like it.

right down to the start collars, my nigga. KERCHUNK KERCHUNK.

FAWK YEAAAA

What the fuck, man. Did he at least look at you?

No...the little cunt won't even look at him

holy fuck ant rofl

no doubt you think opie is behind the DDoS. the escalation is only necessary at this point. oh wow.

is this cuz you italians are good at masonry anth

Gangster as fuck

Ant rules...

I thought you got out of the trades ... show not going well?

holy shit

LOL

And now he's knocking it down!!!

I love it! This attitude is exactly why my money goes to TACS and SiriusXM keeps calling to give me 6 months free or some bullshit to come back and I still say fuck them!

[deleted]

You keep telling yourself that.

All the way to bankruptcy court.

Fool.

Keep on listening to these idiots.

Internet points don't pay the bills you fucking piece O dogshit.

You're really buying into everyone here's hype for you, eh? How do you honestly think you would have done in life without Opie?

[deleted]

Without Ant the disc jockey would still have some morning zoo gig where he made a middle class salary.

Without Opie Ant would be installing air conditioners all day before he came home to his fat wife and jet ski credit card debt.

Wrong. Ant had other options. He was sending his parodies to other stations. Know your history before you disparage someone and their talent.

[deleted]

His brother was sending it to radio stations, and just the music. Opie was the one who actually put him on the air and gave him a chance as talent. You really think he would have developed into the talent he is if he never got that chance? At most he would have played a few more gigs.

Opie mentioned on the show before that he was incredibly surprised no one had picked up Ant at the time so he jumped on the chance... it's not like Opie was some radio guru at the time.

If someone teaches you how to drive, and then 20 years later you go on to be a successful NASCAR driver, do you owe that person your career? (hint: no, you don't)

Ant would probably be making a good living as a singer. Talk show host, singer the kid can do it all!

Opie gave anthony his break 20 years ago. Even mortgages are paid off eventually.

And you'd still be installing AC units if not for Opie.

And Opie would be hosting "Opie and Dave with Marta" on a Lite FM station in Allentown, Pennsylvania if he hadn't found Anthony. It was a partnership.

I never said it wasn't a partnership. You might want to remind Ant of that, though, because he's sure acting like it was all him and that he was responsible for all the good that happened.

Come on, he never said that. He was pretty fair in what he said on TACS and gave Opie credit.

His business partner viewed his July firing as an "opportunity to move on" and regarding standing up for Ant said, "I didn't give it my all." Tell me why Ant shouldn't be livid about those statements.

[deleted]

Your shitty little show is dying. Go beg Sirius for a job. It'd be less pathetic than this 'war' & your pandering to your needy sycophants.

The writer says she has reached out to Opie.

Edit: Maybe he deleted his "human garbage" tweet after Newsweek contacted him.

Was he quoted as saying "leave it alone, just leave it alone"

ME: Me and brotherman need to sit down and have a grapefruit beer.

I believe the actual quote was "wait, hold on. Tom in Ohio has something to add".

Imagine if someone went about life talking as if they're broadcasting on radio non stop.

And he told the writer to make sure he quotes "I invented WOW years before Anthony and I met"

[deleted]

Sounds like Opie. Dumb enough to think deleting a tweet makes it somehow vanish from the Internet.

Haha I didn't notice that

"You shot me, but you punks didn't finish. Now you bout to feel the wrath of a menace."

First offf...

Fuck your Lynz and the crew you claim

Westside when we ride come equipped with game

You claim to be a player but Bam fucked your wife

We bust on Bitch Tits niggaz fucked for life

Bam fucked yo bitch you hack mothafucka

let it go

I agree. I know this it the most positive media interest Ant has received in a quite a while, but holy shit.

if Larry King dies tonight Ant will go world wide viral!

Did you watch the King interview? It was pretty good. Larry rules.

[deleted]

I say keep it up, I'm lovin this soap opera.

Expect big plugs for his show. Anyone that would possibly be subscribed already is, and it ain't much. He's scraping the barrel now.

Knowing Ant, I'm worried about all the things "interesting" could imply.

"Although they maintain separate residences, the radio host and his long-time companion seem to be inseparable. Within the confines of his fastidious bachelor pad, Cumia and Maresca bicker over the cleanliness of a piece of fruit like an old married couple..."

"Anthony?"

"Ma?"

"Oh my God..."

[deleted]

Anthony is doing an interview with a liberal reporter for a liberal publication.

Jesus fucking Christ what world am I living in right now.

Anthony would burn his NRA card and join the Clinton campaign if it meant not having to eventually pawn his velociraptor.

At least it's not a white supremacist podcast this time.

Forgot about that one, Christ what was he thinking?.

Really would love to hear ol' Ant's thoughts behind that one

He has addressed it a few times, even just the other day when talking to Ralph Sutton. He said Keith was booking him and he was saying yes to everything to increase exposure. He claims he had no idea what he was getting into and Keith doesn't deny that he didn't really look into the people offering to give him a place to promote. Whether that is true or Keith just willingly jumped on the landmine who knows, but those are ol' Ant's thoughts behind that one. I also think that since he has no problem admitting he jumps on stormfront from time to time lends credence to the idea it might be true.

[deleted]

IIRC, this is the same reporter that actually wrote an unbiased article about Anthony's firing back in July.

I guess "liberal" means long articles, big words, and insight into things going on in the world you normally don't think about.

correct.

He probably didn't pick up many subs from going on Political Cesspool.

I mean, what else is there to tell really? It'Il most likely just be a rehashing of everything he said in the Walking On Greggshells show.

If he thinks his partner betrayed him, why shouldn't he shout it from the rooftops? Think about it. If Opie had actually given it his all to stand up for Ant (say, gone on Fox News a la Patrice to defend his character), then maybe he'd still have his job or at least not be considered such a pariah. But his partner COMPLETELY hung him out to dry.

Ant should not and will not cower in his basement. He's a man with nothing to lose. He's 54 years old with a bad heart. He has no wife and kids. He's been poor and is not afraid of it. Go out guns blazing.

Agreed. I just hope he brings up some new dirt so we have something new to talk about here tomorrow

[deleted]

I got my money on "no comment"

"Sorry Newsweek, I'd need to have a beer with you first"

I thought this said "'I got my money' will be the comment"

Wouldn't be surprised if he goes the bully angle on how we supposedly torture him online. Never know, they could put the SJW spin on this.

Just finished a very long, interesting interview with @AnthonyCumia about the @OpieRadio situation. Story coming tmrw morning for @Newsweek.

My cock is so hard right now.

More like jewsweek tss

He does these impersonations.....

Surely there's got to be better ways to lure in subscribers.

Controversy and a mainstream publication? What's better than that?

Fair point. I meant more the personal side of it but it's definitely working either way.

Surprisingly, those "Live From The Compound" t-shirts with the swastika logos didn't catch on.

Alright, not the best thought out design. Hence putting people in place that are better at the things I'm not. Are they collectors items yet? I do have a few.

Just a fan of the era right?

[deleted]

Hide the swastikas, tone down the race rants, publicly attack your former partner, deceivingly imply you hired Ron... none of it will matter. The content you produce is uninteresting to the general public, and your comedic talent is dwindling. That is why your little basement show is dying. I suggest you try to at least have some dignity while going down.

Okay but what does the philly crew think? I need to know.

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT

Yeah, tone down that stuff. Some people might not get that you're joking (winkwinknudgenudge).

Well, The Compound went from being a "club" to a "business". Who could have seen that coming?

I guess it's like hanging a "No Wimmen" sign on your treehouse, and then one day, PUBERTY!

shit, I bought one.

Yeah like blasting airhorns in reporters ears....oh wait.

heeheeheeeheheeheee i love the internet

Shots fired: The Blaze doesn't get the scoop.

What exactly makes this a "tell all" interview? I don't see that anywhere but in this thread's title.

Anthony is going to reveal the name has chosen when his transformation is complete.

Edit: My apologies, I'm being told that is the April 24 Bruce Jenner tell all interview with Diane Sawyer and not the Anthony interview with Newsweek...

[deleted]

Kind of funny that it's appearing in a publication that hasn't been relevant since the WNEW days.

[deleted]

Can I read this on the FunnyMofos daily?

Gotta get all that Opie attention while he can.

Dude is fucking finished.

Too funny.

I won't be surprised at all if Opie pussies out and doesn't bother to do an interview. He'd be blowing a big opportunity to promote his shit show and to use this whole situation as leverage to get new listeners.

[deleted]

When is this out?

Ant should do an AMA once everybody is done reading this. I'd have a whole list of questions to ask.

[deleted]

Remember when people used to bitch at Opie for milking things for publicity?

Incoming tits joke in 3... 2... 1...

Yea like...wait... he should fuckin .....milk his own tits or sumthin. Tssss DvvvDvvv

[deleted]

I totally agree with you - it's a smart move. It's just funny how some folks who bitched about Opie doing similar things would support this (not you, the dummies who do I mean).

When has Opie gotten shit for doing real press? He gets shit for putting out desperate viral video attempts and lame tweets.

[deleted]

Remind me? Did he ever do anything like this outside of the show?

It would be more interesting for the reporter to interview both of them and have both of their sides in the article.

This is coming off like a bit desperate.

This interview will blow. Ant will discuss the same stuff he did on his show- Opie will ignore the interview requests all together and say Ant just wont leave him alone- Poor Lil Jimmy still has to walk on Greggshells so will respond by saying that he isn't going to be involved. The ball is in tits court and that ball was taken home years ago.

It was actually pretty good. It got a bit more in depth than my show did. She asked a lot of questions about specific incidents that Opie and I brought up on our respective shows. I agree there are no mind blowing new revelations but Newsweek is an audience that might not have heard our shows and it does give an insight into a 29 yr radio partnership.

I actually have a reason to read Newsweek now

Ok, I guess I will be reading this then. i was thinking it would just be a rehash.

I just think it's sad that the partnership had to go south before you guys could finally get a decent article written about you.

And even if people want to argue that it's not a fair article, they went and published the transcripts of all three entire interviews. It doesn't get much more transparent than that.

Ant how many subs do you have to your show? Are you desperate for attention? Is it getting a little shaky over at TACS? Your push for a "radio war" (what year is this?) and the failure at getting Ron seem like desperate moves.

somebody cannot move on.. Opie was right about this being pathetic.

Haha!! You are actually accusing someone else of not being able to move on? What a joke.

Agreed. I just hope he brings up some new dirt so we have something new to talk about here tomorrow
