I am fairly sure we are looking at where their paychecks stopped. This is the beginning of the "rise again" section and there are 10 pages left by the looks of it. It also reads like someone spoke into a mic and typed out verbatim what was said.
oh I'm sure that's exactly how it was done. ant's not the writer type, not a whole book anyway. he did the same thing kevin pollak did with his "book". tell stories to a guy, he transcribes them, and presto, you got a book.
Pollak's book was great, though. The story of him meeting De Niro at the Beverly Hilton to talk about Casino is fucking amazing. At least with Pollak you get the perspective of a fan or regular guy that's in all these amazing places going "what the fuck am I doing here."
And then we went upstairs and i talked to Luis and said Luis "You guys better stop it!" And Luis said to me "Ok." Then we both went downstairs and he talked to them all. I went to bed.
I'll have my kid steal it. And if I imagine the cops closing in on me I'll speed through an intersection... well, you know the rest. Hopscotch to safety.
"One of the first shows we started producing was Legions of Skanks, with Luis J Gomez. He's since moved on to bigger and better things than hosting a podcast from my basement/kid-rape dungeon for $100 a pop and has now eclipsed my laughable network with Gas Digital...
Did they really "produce" the Legion of Skanks episodes or did they just let them use their shitty studio? I remember they used to just leave the green screen folded up on the sides and the staff still managed to fuck up the production. I'd wish terrible things on Anthony but I already know that he's living in a hell of his own making.
Lmao this reads like he’s a movie star from the 50s recounting stories from the Golden Age of show-business, complete with a grainy photo of his shitty McMansion wop pool. Ever wanna hear behind the scenes anecdotes about stoned manchildren hanging out in a disgraced shock jocks basement? This is the book for you!
Imagine if Ant retired from radio and left Twitter after he was fired.
If he had just done that, this sub (his last remaining fans) would still love him. We all would've bought his book, eager to read about our favorite radio host during his golden years.
I have zero interest in reading how Nana mixes his bud light with xanax, angrily tweets until 4 in the morning and passes out on the couch.
You know, Nana's degrees and years of public service have really qualified her to discuss political strategy and current events. It truly is amazing what a natural she is considering her humble beginnings. Fun fact, Ben Franklin never had a degree either, and Thomas Paine was a corset maker.
Not caption either. Who are those people? What show are they filming? When was this? Is that LoS being filmed? Because that is what the surrounding content is about.
want, and the next show might be squeaky clean. There’s no correlation between shows about how much respect one person gets. One show might be doing goofy shit, and another might be a legitimate political talk show. I just want shows where people can speak freely, and that doesn’t happen with any other form of broadcasting.
PHOTO
PICTURED: Anthony, guest, $79.99 Target patio bar set, teen girl in bikini, and did you know he has a pool?
One of the first shows we started producing was Legion of Skanks, with Luis J. Gomez, Dave Smith, and Big Jay Oakerson. One of their gimmicks is having a live audience around them that’s constantly smoking weed. The only thing is, my studio is in my house. They’d come over with their fans, otherwise known as their "Legion of Skanks.” I now have these three guys doing the show with their fans in my basement. When the show was over one time, these fucking skanks decided it was okay to take a dip in my pool. I was like, “Sure! While you’re at it, why
To be fair, much of his audience can't read, so it was the only way to get sales.
When Stanhope did his audiobook, he got the people mentioned in the book to come in and record a rebuttal to his story, including his ex girlfriend. You think Dani and Stettin are going to come in and say a few words?
Why do the words stop there on the page when I can see bleed through 2 lines down on the next page? Also, that photo is so grainy no one could tell who those people are unless you already know them. I have no idea who the guy on the right is, and there is no caption. Also, why is that picture even there?
"They brought all these overage girls around and they thought it was okay to take a dip in my pool! 'Sure!,' I said. 'Pollute my 5-and-unders-only pool with your menstrual cycles!"
Nice thin paper you can see the words from the other pages through.
Also it looks like there was a picture on the page before this one. I remember doing that when I had reports in school to stretch the length of the report out when I didn’t want to write anymore.
Oh boy, he really has nothing to say, does he. Nine full sentences on one page with a GIGANTIC picture of nothing in particular occurring. It looks like more of a pamphlet than a book. He also tells a story like an eight year old. "One time this one thing happened and then the other time this other thing happened and then I bought a dinosaur and"
I think the worst thing to happen to Cumia is that he's so fucking dull now. But on the other hand, this Jehova's Witness handout will be a fascinating insight into how nothing was ever his fault.
that photo is from his very first show when this entire sub thought he was going to take the podcasting world by storm. it turned out to be a very light drizzle
I don’t remember anything from English class worth a shit but , if I recall, that is an example of redundancy which my teacher said is the sign of an uncreative writer. So there is another thing he fucking sucks at. Shocking.

I really want to see what it looked like before the punch ups. Probably a blank page with Bud Light stains and crushed up Xannie residue on it.

And most likely some residual sue goo.

Anthony never "punches up" which in my opinion has always been very problematic

He's an old man complaining about kids using his pool. He literally has nothing interesting going on in his life worthy of writing a book about.

A legitimate political talk show where the host freezes up like a rodent in a cars headlights when the guests quibble.
