Yes, but we must take responsibility for our actions. He's a public figure who has been fired in the past from former radio gigs.
I'm on Ant's side, but even HE himself said it several times, that we live in a political correct world where the PC MAFIA will take your job for what you say.. he's specifically harped on that exact subject many times! and then he goes and does what he KNEW would bury him in a corporate setting.. and then when Opie and Jim (sort of) left the door open for Ant to come back, Ant kept fucking that up every step of the way with Greggshells and having Opie pull the 'Decade of Dominance' audio which was the only thing keeping the O&A brand alive on sirius, to Ant airing out false info about Sam and Opie on his show trying to ruin that relationship or whatever.. there's responsibility somewhere at the end of all of this.
You got downvoted but I don't beleive it happened how he said it happened. Remember the black guy who used his i.d to claim lotto winnings. Even jim and travis seemed doubtful.
I used to live in Nassau County, property and school taxes where he lives are unbelievable. I love the fact he's losing money (hopefully) he made $ such a part of his self esteem and image (rich, cooky guy with cars, guns girls, etc.) he'll fuckin die the first time he catches himself having to cut back on some expense.
I'd sell the Compound and downgrade to a nice $250k house. I mean, does one person really need a mansion? It's obnoxious and he can't really use the theater that often, can he?
He's going to have a tough time ridding himself of that whining, attention seeking little twit he's with now. "OMG I'm 102 pounds and sooooooo fat. Why do I have to be so ugly. Now look at these slutty selfies."
I think he got it from jimmy or ant. The only person who could put that info out is ant and unless he releases info, there's no way to confirm or deny it. Unless we see him start doing live infomercials...
You would have to think Ant has a business manager or at least a short term business plan for his TACS. I'm assuming he is not just throwing all this together with no idea or goal in mind for it's future,but who knows.Getting a studio and taking on content for the show is turning this once basement podcast into a radio empire!
With the potential audience he has already lost up until this point with his Nig obsession, i don't know if it's sustainable.
I don't know, man. Opie is the one who did all the contract/business stuff. Ant just seems like a big kid. He couldn't have made that much money to live the way he has been living. The taxes he pays on his house alone must be astronomical.
Ant's a very business savvy guy. Fuck, dude could probably make a living just off of gambling. Im sure he has other revenues of income and investments (stocks, shit like that) than strictly TACS subs, you know?
Anthony use to always subtlety brag about his big wins in Atlantic City, and when nudged by Jimmy to acknowledge that gambling is dumb and a loser's game, Anthony would only barely concede Jimmy's point, and instead focus on some big wins he has had in the past or the fact that through all the gambling he is about even. He would go on to explain how great the hotel down in A.C. takes care of him, and provides him a suite etc. It illustrates Anthony's seemingly white trash attitude towards money and perhaps life itself (spending money and getting comped by a casino means that you're cool).
Well I was being facetious, but the guy has won $50grand and over before. Also, you ignored my other points that I mentioned that are more legitimate, you reactionary goose. Stop drinking so much coffee.
From the few years I lived in Las Vegas I can guarantee that you only hear about the wins. That city wasn't built on winners. You NEVER hear about the losses, only the wins.
If he were business savvy, he wouldn't live the way he does. It would be fine if he had a steady stream of millions like he did with Sirius/XM, but he doesn't. Whoever above who said he lives "******* rich", was spot on.
What do you mean, "live the way he does." Up until a year ago, he had millions coming in. He already had that stuff, and a relatively stable gig. What was he supposed to do, sell it off the minute he opened the Sirius email? Ant is a lot sharper of a guy than you guys give him credit for.
Im not saying he could continue living this way forever at the rate he's at now, but I'm sure he can manage/will be ok. (Nobody actually knows how much he's making of TACS, could be a lot more than we suspect)
I'm honestly just confused by the combination of getting Gavin and LoS on the show combined with the NYC studio vs. the shit Ant does that makes him seem desperate for money. His network is either more successful than most of us are assuming and he doesn't give a shit about shitting on his fans to do live reads and 30 minute infomercials to squeeze out some more cash, or he is completely clueless and desperately trying whatever he can to save the network.
I didn't even think about the studio. Shit, what's that gonna run? If things don't change you'll start seeing him selling some stuff. I think he has a condo in the city.
His drinking really has made him delusional. Sad. Denial is a bitch.
He made a comment about a studio rent about 3,000 a month. Not sure if that's the one they went with but I bet it's in the ballpark. Plus he's renovating it.
I never listened to TACS or LFTC. Have been a sub since XM when we paid extra to get The Virus. Extremely funny dude. Do you know how many subs he has now for TACS and how much is it/month?
Nobody knows the sub numbers. There's speculation based off site visit estimates but nothing is known by the public. It's 7$ a month if you do monthly and less than that if you pay for 3,6, or 12 months.
$100k cars, McMansions, gold-digging teenagers, mooching yes-men, alcoholism, $50k hands of cards, keeping up a small army's amount of weaponry..these things take a lot of money.
Please be empathetic; Ant's doing the best he can.
As a fence sitter (dvv dvv) I got to say I think he's done, but we should withhold judgement until a month or two after the NYC studio. Give him a shot in the city where his show is more "guest adjacent"
Gotta spend money to make money, Anthony is thinking long term, not contract to contract like bitch tits. Opie is happy being managements taint sniffer and accepting what they give in order to put on a horrible show. Anthony's building something.
Some simple math would clear this up. But simple is the problem isn't it. Thanks for the concern but I think I'll squeak by. One year in and we're building here. Not pulling back or downsizing. You really are ridiculously uninformed aren't you. Like the first few yrs at WNEW, we constantly read of our immediate pending demise. Some still said it even after 5-10 yrs. So, sorry. I'm not hanging by a thread here. Doing very well thanks.
The difference now is the "we".
You and Keith aren't smart enough to brand your show as an entertaining, professional, broadcast.
You're now behaving like a lazy, bitter, divorced wife.
Two hours a day of goofing off won't work if your staff isn't talented enough to shoulder the workload.
Break out your tin snips and put some work in or languish in mediocrity, old man.
Yeah....this time Opie isn't there to take care of the business and keep the direction of the show entertaining.....not all fucking white vs black and police vs thugs etc. Enough with that bullshit. That's not what you did those years you were successful, is it?
