A couple of weeks ago he made a reference about having fun his entire life and now wanting to get off "the expressway". It sounds like he could be ending his show or his life. I think he's gonna try to become more of a producer type for the network.
Nothing, maybe Jimmy or Ronnie visits but its only kind of a good show. The announcement is a new tshirt or something. Ant calls it the funniest thing ever recorded and anyone who disagrees a reddit retard who lives in their mom's basement.
Anthony's main sin is Pride. There's no way he'd announce anything bad. If the business was doing poorly, he'd come up with new pricing models like $1 extra/month for "premium" content or some shit. If he did quit drinking, he'd mention it in an offhand "eh... no big deal I never really had a problem" sort of way, not a "I admit I am powerless and submit my sobriety to a higher power".
Most likely:
Fan event/poker tournament/etc
Resigned Legion of Skanks. They came on in May of last year... it'd be early but possible. Maybe some other new regular show.
Because you're assuming it's "R&J because of a special announcement" and it's just as likely that it's a "R&J plus a special announcement". If it were some big news they'd be hyping the shit out of it more than just some random tweet from Rat.
Then again, their hype train is always off the mark. Keith tweets a "R&A" promo pic before it's even signed... maybe they went the other way and are underselling this one. One thing I'm pretty sure it's not is Anthony publicly falling on his sword with his two buddies by his side to walk him through it.
They're changing the name of the network to The Alt Comedy Network. Jimmy/Ronnie B named as executive producers and will appear on shows from time to time. Joe DeRosa gets his own show featuring Jen Carmody as the hole. Ant hires Bobo as permanent co-host.
Charges dropped. Anthony decides he's quitting drinking Ronnie and Jim in studio to support him. Anthony doesn't really want to get sober but knows it's his only shot at getting a career back on track. Fast forward ~16 months and Tony and Gregg have an on air reunion. Somewhere. Maybe not SXM. It isnt what it once was but the boys are back together again. Street fighting man plays
'll drive. Keep driving. Head out to the middle of nowhere, take that road as far as it takes us. You've never been west of Philly, have ya? This is a beautiful country, Monty, it's beautiful out there, like a different world. Mountains, hills, cows, farms, and white churches. I drove out west with your mother one time, before you was born. Brooklyn to the Pacific in three days. Just enough money for gas, sandwiches, and coffee, but we made it. Every man, woman, and child alive should see the desert one time before they die. Nothin' at all for miles around. Nothin' but sand and rocks and cactus and blue sky. Not a soul in sight. No sirens. No car alarms. Nobody honkin' atcha. No madmen cursin' or pissin' in the streets. You find the silence out there, you find the peace. You can find God. So we drive west, keep driving till we find a nice little town
Interesting, did they post this somewhere? I looked on his/the show Twitter pages and his site but didn't see the news. I remember the mentioning of the guests for this week at the end of last Thursday's show but they just said all the names without any days attached.
On the TACS Facebook page, their latest post mentions it. However, it's easy to miss because the "very special announcement" is buried in the typical drivel:
Monday on #tacs Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling, Sig Hansen & Sean Dwyer from @DeadliestCatch join @AnthonyCumia LIVE in studio 4pm.
Tuesday Jim Florentine
Wednesday Jim Norton & Ron Bennington for a very special announcement
Only on Anthonycumia.com
I dunno...I'm thinking (and I'm probably wrong) that if Ant was throwing in the towel with TACN, he'd want Ron and Jimmy there. He's got a lot on his plate lately and maybe TACS is too much for him. He's show business kryptonite since he allegedly beat Dani and for his recent choices.
Hmm. It was posted 2 days ago, and was apparently still up about 45 minutes ago. /u/spineylilnwrdfingers posts it here and it's immediately taken down. So, um, speculate.
It was a story that was impossibly close to Anthony. It never mentioned radio specifically, but it was his life. It ended with him realizing he was in a basement with a bunch of losers and it was time to get sober. It was very long and should have ended with "peckahs."
Holy fuck. I forgot about that. They had to be separated on the boat. I hope that scuba instructor realizes just how lucky he really is to escape with his life.
Opie strikes me as the type of faggot who would tuck his thumb inside his fore-fingers when making a fist.
most people here are saying this is an announcement regarding treatment of some sorts. be it anger or alcoholism, the fact is, the 2 guys who have been the most vocal about his drinking issue are coming together in THIS week. is trantpa going to rehab?
Actually, the only way that would go down, is if Ron and Jimmy already know that SiriusXM is kicking them to the curb.....Can't wait for Wednesday and the big announcement.

He's ending the show.

Actually, this might be close to the truth. What if they've hammered out some sort of plea deal, and he's forced to take a hiatus for a few months?

Ant is going to pack up his Van, hit the highway and toss his microphone, poppers and Sue's Estrogen pills out of the window, never looking back.

They're going to bring Opie out as a surprise guest and they'll hug it out, like when Sideshow Mel did the Krusty the Clown Comeback Special.
19 PhilipMarma 2016-03-28
Send in the clowns...They're already here.
5 MaxKawalski 2016-03-28
Opie: I love you, Anthony.
Anthony: Quiet...

And then Sideshow Bob shows up and kills them both.
32 Mod_Impersonator 2016-03-28
Is Ant finally going to R. Budd Dwyer himself on air?
3 QuantumTabby 2016-03-28
With one of his many guns that got taken away? I think he's going to fall onto a shinto blade like a samurai.

Both shows are on vacation, pity booking for Ant.
Expect a big week for Ant to push subs
20 majestik6 2016-03-28
Ronnie and Jimmy don't drink. I'm guessing it's an intervention.

We're not Ant's friends unlike Ronnie B. We were fans of O&A. That's all. We don't owe any of them anything anymore.
13 VeritablyClean 2016-03-28
if Ant pulled the same political rant bullshit while Ron was on he would be torn down mercilessly
13 andycumiashow 2016-03-28
It's turning into a 12-step show. All of the remaining subscribers are going to get sober to avoid felony charges.
12 MrDurden42 2016-03-28
They are going to take over hosting duties while tranthony is in prison.
12 K1bbler 2016-03-28
Ant is going to admit he sucked Sue's peckah.

Why would Jimmy and Ron be there to announce that Cumia re-signed Legion of Skanks?
Why would Jimmy want to be there to announce a card game he doesn't know how to play?

I enjoy Ron and have some lingering affection for Jim. If they jump ship, it'll be a shame to end their careers on such a low note.

Charges have been dismissed perhaps?
Gossip gossip.
7 Aemon12 2016-03-28
That's the most likely outcome. Especially after Dani's bitter tweets at the end of last week. Simply put, the court case finishes tomorrow.

The only source I could find was Rat's Twitter: Oohhhhhh a big TACS announcement on Wednesday! It "doesn't involve me returning to the network."
https://twitter.com/benmakestv/status/714262938413056000
1 PhilipMarma 2016-03-28

I'm confident that the announcement will be similar to this:

If it was Ant, he forgot that the Howard Stern ambulance chaser lawyer was his wife's, not his.
3 andycumiashow 2016-03-28
Didn't he show up at Anthony's door sober and disbarred? Then tried to get him in on a pyramid scheme or something? I feel like we could be relatives.

When Opie says "it wouldve been a really bad day for him" ...DOES Opie mean he would've kicked his ass?
He uses that line a lot when reaponding to ppl are talking about beating him up. Curious if Opie also fancies himself a tough guy.
4 TacoTrots 2016-03-28
Dude, he fucked up a guy UNDERWATER. Do you have any idea how difficult that is to do?
I'd say the Opester's "tough guy" label has been earned...and is legit.

Jimmy is doing unmasked. The entire show will be about chip, trannies, mma and mike tyson sweatshirts.

Ronnie B. is amazing. He can make good radio with anyone. He was even able to make the Opie & Ronnie B. shows interesting.

That's what I'm thinking.
SiriusXM can't be in a great position financially so I'm wondering if they might be cutting some talent.

If true, then Opie's completely safe.
