Anyone have audio of Anthony and Amy together on Kevin Corrigan's podcast after his firing?

I know it was 2 months after Anthony was fired, and Bobo was there, but no audio.

What did Amy say about his firing?

On TACS 28 Anthony says Amy joked about it being an intervention for Anthony but the audience wouldn't laugh at it because they hated Anthony so much and that the appearance went horribly.

I was there. The "show" is not recorded and there were signs prohibiting anyone in the audience from taping it. I doubt there is audio of it.

Accurate.

It was a panel show and it started with Kevin Corrigan talking with Amy for a good 15 minutes. After that, they brought on Anthony. His entrance went something like this:

Kevin Corrigan: And our next guest, Anthony Cumia!

applause

Anthony: quasi-yelling SO HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED IN TIMES SQUARE. I WAS OUT TAKING PICTURES AND-...

The whole crowd was in stunned silence. The 50% of the room that was there for Amy had no idea what was going on. The other 50% of us - there for Anthony - quickly realized that Anthony was way too drunk for this thing.

So, the whole conversation steers towards Anthony, the events of that night, and his firing from SiriusXM. As Anthony defends himself, the Amy side of the crowd boos him hard. Amy actually intervenes for Anthony and says "I don't agree with what Anthony did, but he is my friend and I love him."

This doesn't stop the Amy crowd and it immediately raised visible tension between Anthony and Amy. Anthony seems surprised that Amy isn't saying that he shouldn't have been fired from Sirius. Amy is embarrassed that Anthony put her in this situation where she had to defend him at all with his fans.

Taran Killam (then of SNL) is then brought on and he has a full-blown debate with Anthony over the events, although Killam didn't seem to know any more about the story than the Schumer fans in the room. As they go blow-for-blow in this argument, the Amy fans cheer for everything that Killam says and the Anthony fans responded in kind for Anthony's points.

The whole thing wound up being far more tense than Kevin, Amy, or any of the people associated with the show could have predicted.

Shame theres no recording , thanks for the run down

Thanks man. Fucking pathetic set of events.

Anthony could have BJJ'd that into a win- he could have won a lot of fans if he was rational. He's such a self-destructive idiot.

Do you remember any more specific quotes Amy said about Anthony or to Anthony?

Nothing comes to mind right now. I just remember being bummed because I was such a big Anthony fan (and still am - hopelessly optimistic) and he didn't put his best foot forward.
