My proposal for a betting pool on when Compound Media will fold.
1 2018-12-18 by BarryMcCaulkener
I will commit to tossing in $20 in prize money (via an Amazon gift card or Steam or whatever works) to whoever guesses the date that Compound Media announces it will cease operations. I can't imagine that they will be open for another year but feel free to argue the case that Compound is a solvent business concern.
Today's Kevin Brennan clip was pretty revealing in that it was one of the first crumbs of info we've gotten about how the Artie debacle effected Compound's sub count with Kevin saying that the subs actually dropped when they hiked the price up and brought on the thoroughly washed up junkie.
If anyone is into it, just post your guess in this thread and I will update with a new post announcing the winner when the inevitable happens. I think the guesses should just be for a specific date in the future (for example: December 1st, 2019) and once someone selects a date it will be off of the table.
I'm also open to expanding the prize pool or going with some other format but I just thought this could be some good old fashion goof. I also think that if no one hits the date exactly I'll award the prize to whomever is closest to the date.
What say you, fellow faggots?

Not a specific date, but I say there's not much of a chance that Nana's company doesn't go past 2020, or by 2021 it's a mere husk of what it used to be, which is husk-like anyway.

That weekend has historically been a motherfucker for Anthony. Good call.

Playing the odds! Good move.
1 BarryMcCaulkener 2018-12-18
I thought about Price is Right rules but that's too much work. It's just whoever is closest by number of days from the date of their guess.

when the house forecloses

Anthony will be insolvent before LFTC, LLC and then put it in bankruptcy ... June 1, 2019 when quarterly taxes are to be paid
1 BarryMcCaulkener 2018-12-18
This is also a very solid answer. We know Anthony is in the shit with taxes and has that big loan out.
1 Psych555 2018-12-18
How much do you think his expenses are a month? How long would a million last him?
1 BelgiumJimmy 2018-12-18
Probably $20-25k
1 BarryMcCaulkener 2018-12-18
This would be fascinating to know. He has a $1.2 million dollar loan out so that could be 10-20k a month depending on the terms.
If he pays Dawn and Joe 100k a year another 8-9k a month. The NYC studio could be 5k-20k, hard to know, but let's be conservative and say that's 15k a month all in including staff and utilities. We know he leases a high end Jag or whatever. 5k with gas and upkeep is conservative.
Then he needs to pay Keith and Keith's wife who is his personal assistant and maid. Let's again lowball it and say that combined he pays them 200k a year. So 16-17k a month or so. We could also tack on the substantial legal bills he has had to pay over the last five years. He's gotten his driver's license suspended from driving offenses, the Dani shit, twatto suing him, I'm sure he's had to fork over cash to a few Sue Lightning-types. Let's lowball the fuck out of it and say an addional 10k per month for legal bills, food, booze, clothes, etc.
I think his monthly nut is in the $60-80 range and could be higher when you factor in the cost of running his company.
1 hermesgate 2018-12-18
He shouldn’t have to pay any taxes. He’s losing his ass. If his bookkeeper isn’t Keith, he’ll probably get money back.

When they brought in Artie and Gavin left is around the time I canceled. Artie sucks.

Whenever it happens Ant will spin it as something he wants to do and not something he has to do.
1 BarryMcCaulkener 2018-12-18
He'll "downsize" and move to Tampa to do the loser radio hour with Bubba.
1 F_H_Rileys_MaitreD 2018-12-18
Artie and Anthony was always a horrible idea. The only thing that would suggest it might work is that they’re roughly the same age, so Artie could riff off of Ant’s Dick Van Dyke ottoman references and such.
1 StuntPeckah 2018-12-18
Except he couldn't (I'm assuming. I haven't listened to one minute of that dreck).

Ah thanks. Here is the clip I was referring to. It was posted to /r/OandAExclusiveForum which I will plug because the guy who runs it posts lots of good clips and youtube links to O&A universe-adjacent content.

Thanks, buddy!

I'm guessing if he ends his big brother's allowance that might buy him an extra six months, so I'm going to say Dec. 2, 2019.

They might as well have already folded. They might as well be sitting there reading the phone book out loud. Look at their social media accounts and their subreddit. Nobody gives a fuck about whatever it is theyre doing.

wouldn't surprise me if Alex Jones buys the technology and even uses it as his NY broadcasting base and Anthony taps out.
1 WalterWhite2012 2018-12-18
It would surprise me. Ant’s studio isn’t high tech. The video looks terrible and has constant service issues let alone the embarrassing app. Alex Jones is a nut job but he runs a professional operation.

It won't close. We'll get an announcement around say October 1, 2019 that they have been bought out by another company. Ant will continue to do his shitty show on that platform for another 6-8 months before some Twitter blowup gets him fired.
1 Psych555 2018-12-18
By then he has lost his house and now lives in a shitty apartment in the city because "it's just so convenient, being right there. No more jerk offs on the expressway who don't know how to drive. HAHAHAHOLYSHIT"
