A bunch of us got shit on for mocking the level of Jimmy's addiction. It's good that he realized young that he couldn't handle booze, I'm sure he saved himself from a lot of bullshit. It's the fact that he pontificates about it in a way that he knows everything (like he does with most topics) and that its still a daily struggle for him. You drank for a couple years and quit for 30. It can be a little annoying to people who have struggled with deeper levels of addiction. It's like the hot chick complaining about her weight to her fat friend
It would completely fine if his sobriety wasn't a "thing", if it wasn't a proclamation or a testament, something he brags about. You can be a guy who doesn't drink, that's completely fine, but if you're going to be "sober guy" and constantly bring up your struggles with the devil-water you better have a better story than a couple bad nights as a teenager, because that just sounds pathetic and embarrassing
That would be about the one thing that would get me to listen to any of these people again. And it would be the only way for Ant to jump back into relevance. Too bad it will never happen.
Imagine Howard hiring Anthony to sit in where Artie used to sit. Returning back to XM, and walking past the O&J fish tank on the way to the Stern wing.
Tits wouldn't cry at all... Regardless of if TACS fails or becomes a huge success, he's got his 7-figure job at Sirius.
He'll blame the haters for calling him a balding, big titted board op and for calling him out on his compulsive lies, but he'll think his show is better than it's ever been and management loves the new direction of "Opie's morningtime attitude" zoo crew show
As Anthony pointed out during "walking on greggshells" Opie doesn't think about things long term. That's why he couldn't understand the benefit of a 5 year contract over a 2 year.
Anthony doesn't have a wife and kids, and his house on Long Island is completely paid off.
Tits just bought an enormous new condo in Manhattan that cost triple what Anthony's house is worth, so he's highly leveraged.
Anthony is way more free to take a risk like this, with a few million in the bank at age 55, he can pretty much do whatever he wants. He's said multiple times that he could shut it all down, buy a ranch in Texas, and be a full time retired gun nut.
Anthony's "Mansion" (house) would cost like $500k-$750k in most parts of the country, on Long Island it's probably like $5 Mil ... He could buy his identical house with 50 acres for like a million anywhere else in the country, have an extra few million to live off and be a drunken recluse until he dies. He still has enough talent that he has options, some people find him and his opinions interesting. Opie is fucked, if he loses the sirius gig, who the fuck wants him? He's not funny, interesting, or talented. His wife leaves him, she keeps the place, the kids and probably 75% of his assets
I've often wondered why, now that he's free to live wherever he wants, he continues to live in super liberal (and expensive) New York. It boggles my mind.
Also, I didn't know Ant bought his home outright. I guess I underestimated the old Cumia fortune. Nice.
Most likely his family and friends, but he seems like the type that would be happy on a ranch somewhere in Texas, easier gun access, less laws and liberals. Texas has a bunch of hot chicks and i'm sure a lot of them have daddy issues. Skype technology should be 100x better within 5 years if he's still doing TACS... Fuck it, he should move in next door to Alex Jones
You really think Opie is still on 7 figures? I doubt it, and even if he is it won't be for long so he better have been saving for a rainy day.
I think all this Opie is a multi millionaire shit is exaggerated.
Artie's a dull burnout under the psychiatric influence of potent antidepressants. The combined influence of drugs and psychiatric medication has dulled his wit.
You also hate Opie so I don't get it, what brings you back here every day, what is the motive? I'm not telling you not to post here don't accuse me of Opie'ing you I'm genuinely curious why do you come here

Alcoholics Anonymous with Ant & Artie. AA w/ AA I like it.

They can have Jimmy on to talk about the higher power keeping him from hitting the vein.

He's the guy that made a fool of himself after downing a six-pack and then goes around acting like he was Kurt Cobain.

Howard would never hire Anthony. Not if Marci Turk... oh wait, he himself has any say in the matter.
Yeah, Marci Turk's to blame for the show sucking. Not Howard's narcissism and need to get Beth in the spotlight.

That's probably why he said 'imagine if...'

" a balding, big titted board op " - Opie is Scott the Engineer

Think he'd be all in with letting a gay porn star put his dick in his butt for $200k?
2 [deleted] 2015-11-08
He will when his contract doesn't get renewed and they replace him with some other board op making $30K a year.

Right? He always talked fondly of his time working on the ranch out in California. I feel like should definitely get out of New York.
Of course, he could be biding his time waiting on a radio or TV gig in NY.

I 100% believe Opie is still making 7 figures.

Tying your horse to the bandwagon called Artie, where he falls off of the wagon and bounces down the canyon on fire regularly?
Great short term, but you know its going to end in tears.
2 bigmattson 2015-11-08
It would end badly for sure, but the ride to hell would be incredible.
