I have to admit ive been critical these past couple months of TACS for good reason. That being said Ant killed it today and im optimistic for the show going forward. Good job Ant keep it up

Getting out of the house can only do him good. He cut his italian grandmother hair, looked professional and didn't drink.
The NYC skyline set was awful though and having that audience gives it an uncomfortably PFG feel.
16 dom650 2015-08-04
I don't really get the appeal of the live audience. I hope they keep that to a minimum
24 TracksuitZomb 2015-08-04
someone mentioned in the tacsdiscussion live thread that the live audience gave them a sort of pressure to make things funny instead of a rant, and i agree with that. Without the audience we could slip back into angry story reading and i dont want to watch that.
20 PassProtect15 2015-08-04
Yes but that audience looks like a group of late 30s would-be school shooters that didn't have the balls to go through with their grand plan. Makes me sad to look at.

Isn't that the same demo as this subreddit?

At least not until I carry out operation high school payback.
2 WiretapStudios 2015-08-04
You mean like the bleachers at the XM studios?

1 PassProtect15 2015-08-04
I'm a good looking fellow and I love Anthony so I guess I had higher hopes.
3 baraksobamas 2015-08-04
To see other good looking guys?
4 Eternalforms 2015-08-04
This is a good point. It definitely feels too public accessy but him having random fans in front of his face gives him incentive to be funny and would make it very awkward to go off on long hateful racial tangents. It could save his career.
2 molloybe 2015-08-04
Having an audience cheering on a race rant would make it more of a rally than a show, I think.
2 Houghton91 2015-08-04
Completely agree with this. I never even thought of that angle, good shout.

I never liked it on the o&a show either but we wouldnt have bobo with out it.

I have a feeling one of the big problems was getting him out of his fucking house. Now he will be able to look out the window and see actual black people.

It's a simple rubric. We like him when he does good things. We don't like him when he does bad things.
22 DoubleGuns 2015-08-04
I've been "all-in" with the Ant-hate as much as anyone these past few weeks - because he's deserved it.
But, if we can't admit when he actually has a good show, we're just as delusional as TACSdiscussion has been for the past few months.
I thought it was great, looking forward to Ron being on tomorrow.
12 [deleted] 2015-08-04
His previous show from comic con with Billy West and Tom Kenny was good too. The keys to Ant's success seem to be:
Long Island "guinea trash" being out of his element (SiriusXM highrise, comic con, NYC studio).
Multiple funny guests with strong presences, at least one of whom he has some kind of history with (Billy West is a fan and that probably helped Tom Kenny get comfortable quickly).
A live studio audience to feed off of and help him gauge how entertaining the show is and avoid self indulgence.
Avoiding longwinded preachy monologues/discussions about race and politics. For example, Trump was discussed the last two shows, but it was all in fun with no agenda.
Avoiding awkward/boring staring-into-the-camera stuff.
Avoiding cheap stunts and eye candy guests.
2 burgersass 2015-08-04
I like whores.
6 netbent 2015-08-04
Eh, do ya need em in your talk shows? I certainly wouldn't want Anthony in any of my porn. Unless of course it was an interracial underage cuckold situation where Dani rode Sherrod's piece as he slowly lowered himself into Anthony's Sirius chair. Then I'd definitely want hideous Anthony there.
3 baraksobamas 2015-08-04
Do you think dani has the strength to ride anyone?
1 burgersass 2015-08-04
Oof. There has been plenty of good shows in the past that involved them, there just needs to be some funny people in the studio. Patrice and Jimmy often made whore appearances hilarious.
3 jackglowing31442 2015-08-04
Justine Joli with Jim Jefferies is my favorite
1 With_Clean_Hands 2015-08-04

0 SHITDlCK 2015-08-04
Do you really have to wish it? He's almost 60. Pretty sure it's inevitable.
19 opieanthonyjim 2015-08-04
Of course he did. Reinvigorated with new studio, Colin and Nick in studio, live crowd. Anyone expecting this 1st day to flop was just retarded. The real test is how it is humming along in a few months. I won't re-sub until then. If the show does a 180 and isn't boring anymore and stuff, I'll gladly resubscribe and happily so.
15 RearNakedGrope 2015-08-04
Gladly and happily? Take it easy, man!
18 grocery_man 2015-08-04
If they keep having shows like that on a regular basis then i'll be happy.

1 [deleted] 2015-08-04
I'm sure it'll be at least pretty good. But I think if Sam came along too it would be another great hangout episode.
15 kimchifart 2015-08-04
It was fucking great. Ant has to keep this shit up. He should definitely get gavin as at least a once a week regular if he can.
4 wizardnug 2015-08-04
Ya it was cool when Nick said he will be listening to Gavin's next show
11 CCRed95 2015-08-04
Ive been very critical of TACS and most of the shows in the last few months have been beyond boring and lazy. But i gotta be honest todays show was really impressive. Great guests, good energy, not too heavy on the politics. Ronnie b will be in tomorrow. Hopefully ant can get a solid comedian guest in studio for at least a couple shows per week.
5 BestGetOutOfMoyWay 2015-08-04
I thought you cancelled?
4 nointernetforyou 2015-08-04
I think a lot of people didn't.
2 CCRed95 2015-08-04
I did, canceling your subscription just stops it from auto-renewing at the end of the month. You can still use the site until the end of whatever period you payed for.
Im not getting my hopes up too much. If after a while good guests are still coming in regularly and ant isnt obsessing over race or political shit ill probably give it another chance. Hopefully theyre able to maintain decent guest booking for more than a couple weeks
4 BestGetOutOfMoyWay 2015-08-04
you unsubscribed 2 months ago? lol

-1 CCRed95 2015-08-04
yes that was before LoS and Gavin joined the network. When they joined i decided to resubscribe for those shows. Before today I havent watched a full TACS episode in like a month. I really want to like the show and support ant because im such a huge o&a fan, but he's gotta put more effort into show prep for this to be successful.
1 I_Hate_Knickers 2015-08-04
Maybe you did but through your selective choice of words you seem to have given the impression that you enlarge the truth so your posts have a meatier filling. Just saying but Senator I think your credit just ran out.
1 tar_baby33 2015-08-04
Haven't listened yet...was it like the Florentine episode a week or so ago? One of my favorite TACS episodes to date.
10 CUNTYMOM 2015-08-04
i feel like people are brainwashed here, do we not remember ants first month, it was pretty good. this is just a new shiny toy that will soon become dull and boring just like the last one.
1 panjshirlion 2015-08-04
Everyone is saying that now, but I remember TACS being pretty shitty right from the get-go. The Mike Brown incident happened pretty much simultaneously with the launch, which didn't help.
1 CUNTYMOM 2015-08-04
well i never had a sub but it seemed like people enjoyed it and the guests were good, i did see the free bobby kelly one and it was pretty good.

9 jackglowing31442 2015-08-04
I hope he can get Jimmy in ASAP, if he can keep making it like Nopie shows with Ant and Jim then he'll do well I think. In my opinion, almost every great bit has come from Ant, Jim and the comics, so as long as he can get them all on the show as much as possible I'll resubscribe.
8 esterobloke 2015-08-04
Shit was great
8 opi3dope 2015-08-04
It's pretty simple. Stay away from the race/politics rants and the show will be kick ass. He did that today....i just doubt he can keep it up.

Anthony did a funny show? Wow. That's really impressive from a guy who happily charges a Netflix tariff and does commercials. And after only a year!
I seem to remember when the basement show started hearing pretty much exactly the same shit from you idiots. Such a funny, funny guy. Great show. So much potential. This is gonna be great! It lasted at least a month, probably more. But of course, this is completely different and he's a brand new man, right? He got a haircut and changed his clothes. He's not going to fall face-first back into old habits or anything. That would be so unlike him.
You fatuous rubes. Give it 2 weeks before he is back to his old, bitter, drunk race-ranting best. How do any of you even survive in the world being this fucking obtuse?
16 booderdooders 2015-08-04
You're unpopular, sir, but you have a point
-8 fratboy_massacre 2015-08-04
Look, I take no joy in hurting you bastards. Well OK, I take great joy in it... but be serious: do you think he's changed in what, a week? A 54-year-old trainwreck of man in the final stages of alcoholism, bitterer and more hateful than ever, completely unable to control even his smallest impulses. He got a new hairdo and changed clothes and had Colin Quinn on. Jesus. He's the same awful bag of shit in a slightly different bag.
Sometimes I worry about you kids.

Hopefully Ant will bring another energy into his NYC shows and keep the racist shit at the compound. But I think it will spill over. Ant if you are reading this, use the NYC studio as a no political show zone. Maybe a little but don't go all in like you do with the compound show. We fucking stood by you during these years so do us a solid.

Just starting the show now since these positive comments leave me no choice but to check it out since it looks like it will be a enjoyable show. Besides, never a bad anything with Colin.
I don't post a lot and I don't agree with everything on this sub, but I appreciate that most of yall don't blindly defend our favorite radio personalities and yall don't blindly bash them either. To me, it forces me to respect the ideas of this sub and gives it some form of credibility since you will see everyone get called out for their bullshit, but also give credit when a entertaining show is put out there.
Respect yall!
