Imagine having enough money to just do a podcast for fun and be set for life. Now imagine having no money and a high level of fixed expenses that requires you to run a podcast network that stinks and is itself burning cash.

Seems as though there is a clear winner here.

He really fucked up.

Ain’t it fun?

He really, really did. He could've run a podcast out of his basement instead of sinking his cash into some failed alt-right network.

Thats what I was thinking. He was already set up for the most part before he got fired.

the amount of delusion in this sub is staggering. you worthless shitheads have been talking about craterhead going broke for 3 years.

"na bro its gonna happen, youll see" what a bunch of dumb delusional faggots. get cancer

Kill yourself

HA! nice try wit da hate tho

also, opie is an active pedophile. this has been 100% confirmed

How could he know that calling a black woman a nigger on Twitter in 2014 would backfire?

But THAT'S WHAT SHE WAS!

People keep saying that bc that's what the media and the pink haired brigade picked up on. The true narrative is that he was fired for the violent nature of those tweets. It's why he was shitcanned without even meeting over the 4th of July weekend.

Basically pissy eyes made a lot of vague threats and Siriusxm was afraid that he or more likely someone in his group/fanbase would track her down and do a jussee ,but real, on her. Imagine the pr disaster and the lawsuits.

Mommy s shoes lost his guns and almost went to jail bc of domestic violence of a young druggie chick he had at his house,not muh raisism, but again chappofags and other redditshits slowly have permeated thid sub with their sensitivities.

Tl;dr: tony lost hos sirius show,and then his guns and whatever reputation he had bc of his threats(and eventual) violent criminal behavior not his edgelord tweets that trigger cumbois.

Your thesis defense has been rejected by the examiners

Cumia is still a woman beating mongrel.

That's the ticket

No no no, haven't you heard him on various podcasts? He was fired for his conservative views, not his violent/racist tweets.

He's a victim of his beliefs, not because he's a dunderhead.

After his firing he could have packed up and moved to TX, AZ or PA, laid low for awhile on his millions and started a podcast network. He would have had a decent backing. Refusing to leave New York boggles my mind. STILL refusing to leave NY boggles my mind even more.

Where else would he be able to get such big name guests in studio though?

Getting podcast equipment into a big city does seem to be a problem. I didn't fully think it through.

He would get dragged behind a truck in any of those states. Deep down he knows he’s a filthy nigger and he’d rather stay somewhere where he’s free to deny it.

This is maga country ninja we don't want your gay ass around here

THROW HIS ASS OUT HE'S A NINJA

He should have moved to chicago or detroit and embraced his niggerisms. Growing out his jerry curls, changing his name back to Antwyoun etc.

He is a New York City cuck

He really is, anyone who's a conservative in a major city should kill themselves because they're clearly retarded. Shit is way cheaper in even a mid size city and you're less likely to run into immigrants or brown people.

This fag isnt even from NYC so he has even less of an excuse. Don Imus does his show from a ranch in texas.

Just take the fucking train into new york if you really are that much of an ass.

Even the hedge fund managers live out of state and commute in. Their houses can be huge as shit too.

If Gavin lived somewhere cheap he could actually have neighbors that dont hate him. Instead he's the neighborhood nazi.

truly baffling what this fucking moron did. Google the dailybeast(far-left rag) article about Gavin's harassment in his jewish suburb - written by a jewish millennial woman - that basically brags about, advocates, and gives an outline for to others to recreate a neighborhood harassment and shunning campaign to deal with their political opponents.

How much harder does he have to be bashed over the head to realize sucking up to Israel isn't going to get those people off his back. He got his just desserts being fired by neocon Stephen Crowder network

Gavin and most of the GOP is full of retards. They legit think that they can walk back 60 years of kike propaganda. And it's not like racist is that bad if you're a Democrat. Look at Virginia most Democrats will tell you blackface isnt bad now or being a serial rapist. Say what you will about the far right, they understood the optics and have for the last century. Gavin was always a lost cause same with Milo, when one side can destroy you the second they treat you as more than some insect there is no reason to try and hide your power level. Sargon tried the same shit and is sinking over on that Paetron alternative as is Peterson and his people. They thought setting up an alternative to Patreon while making sure their brand of views would be immune would be easy. Soon they will be broke and will be fucked over forever.

Soon they will be broke and will be fucked over forever.

lmao.

milo was pretty interesting. He is much smarter than Gavin and fully comprehends not just the race issue but the Jew issue (something Gavin lacks the subtly and intelligence to grasp let alone navigate) and tactically avoided them. Gavin was almost 50 years old and when he started talking about this stuff in 2015-2017 he sounded like he's just discovering/figuring it out in a way that sounds like a college freshman.

I suspect the reason they attack Gavin as hard as they do is cause he was naturally persuasive/a leader and was rallying 'those' forces. He could preach non-racism as much as he wanted, as Milo did, but once those forces (dumber, angry disaffected men) gathered they would inevitably get out of control, the mask would drop, and they would get to the heart of the matter

He's in his late 50s. If he had a family, it would make sense to uproot all of them and move because that would be a self contained situation. But since he doesnt have a family to spend his time with, hes dependent on his friends to spend his time with. He established those friends decades ago growing up in the long island area, and they all stuck around because they saw the benefit of having a millionaire friend constantly inviting you over to hang at his mansion and provide booze and food and bedding.

If Ant were to move to a lower taxed state, he might finally fulfill his desire to avoid exuberant taxes but at the cost of having his parasitic "yes men" friends readily available.

Nick Mullen gets a lot of hate around here but he makes 400 grand a year from talking shit with his friends. He was just a relatively unknown comedian-not a one of the biggest and most radio hosts with a fans base that bordered on psychotically devoted. It's mind boggling how badly Anthony fucked everything up. If he kept things simple by doing two podcasts a week and not alienating the fans who were willing to pay for his product, he would probably be making a million or two a year.

Speaking of Nick Mullen him and his friends spend over 100k on rent. Nick stays home all day. At least Stav used his money to buy houses cheap. No reason the Chapos or /u/n_mullen have to stay in that city. Mullen could move to PA or MD or VA and with the money saved in rent build his own compound with a train and air raid siren and everything.

Crowder is the only smart fucker in the podcast world. He lives somewhere so cheap that he has the most cash flow of all the people we know. Crowder could buy a new car every year with the amount of play money he has. Nick makes 400 grand a year and only gets to use 10 percent once all the rent and utilities and taxes and processing fees are taken out.

Didn't mullen throw away 40k on sketchy chinese crypto coins? I don't think the guy cares that much because he's not paying off massive overhead or worrying about running a dozen shows on his shitty network. He's also an active comic and probably enjoys the access to shitloads of venues in Ny

Hes not an active comic.

We have a biweekly show here. I was at the stand pretty often before they closed. But aside from that I still get television writing work and that’s all here and Los Angeles and I don’t like Los Angeles. The show, without a doubt, would not have become successful if we weren’t in New York.

Dont talk to me you stupid CHUD. If you honestly believed you weren't cultivating a Sam Hyde esque neo-Nazi following you would say which tv shows you're writing for. More like 5AM

I hope you realize that if you weren't friends with the CHAPo hosts your podcast would have been shut down 3 years ago. You wouldn't even be able to get an open mike spot anywhere in this country.

You would have killed yourself just like this Nick Mullen look alike did when us chapos found out he was a raging chud

I’m not really sure why you’re so mad. No one in the entertainment really cares about dumb online politics. They still actively harbor rapists. People aren’t all that different when they’re paid 4000 dollars a week to sit in a room together and write jokes. A lot of the people you think have been hard cancelled continue to work.

Next time you reply to anyone on this website it better be with your hog you tiny faggot

And you think you deserve to get paid more than open micers when you cant come up with anything funnier than post hog lol

but that's what you said

lmao

Lol holy shit

Nick stop posting so much I can't keep up with reading all of your posts and now my wife thinks I'm emotionally cheating on her

I've wondered this since it happened, so might as well ask:

was David Cross in on the bit?

That's a good bit

Also he's losing his mind because a working comedian lives in NY?

This dude sucks

did you know amber or felix before you lived with them?

Yeah both

SWIMsfriend

idk man. I saw him live a couple of times. His show at caroline's over the summer was pretty great. I left very happy.
Frankly by this point with all the over saturation of information and bullshit trying desperately to grab attention it's nice to consistently hear refreshingly honest takes (well...besides adam) along with juvenile humor - similar to why people liked Opie and Anthony to begin with before hurt feelings, worms, pms (pedophile molestation syndrome), legit racism and whatever the fuck Sam Roberts is, ruined everything.

What's the status on the Schumer doc

Should be out later tonight unless it gets blocked by comedy central

lol

For some people, NYC is worth the extra cost.

patreon would have removed him

Mullen has his cake and eats it too in significant part because of an association with ChapoTrapHouse that has effectively (not intentionally or deliberately) become a protective barrier to prevent accusations that his otherwise deplatform-worthy comments are anything other than 'ironic.'

There’s some truth to that but if chapo weren’t making money it would be meaningless. Money talks, and patreon won’t do anything that they think will actually hurt their bottom line.

Sargon

They only did that to brand themselves, figured it would bring in more money at the end of the day. As many pointed, if he’s out, why aren’t we? Why aren’t the hundreds of accounts that are explicitly racist? It’s not about principles, it was a calculated (albeit poorly) move to ingratiate themselves to potential woke creators and keep their investors happy

My reasoning would be is because if you go then everyone has to have a closer look at Chapo and your connection to them. They promote you on the podcast and on their twitter accounts. Thereby tacitly endorsing your problematic vocabulary and humour. The name of the game is guilt by association and they can't have you tarnishing the champions of the far left with racism and misogyny. You're right when you say its branding and nothing more though, remember when Will had that rape joke controversy and he paid off his indulgences with "the rest of my months donations" and then all was good. How fucking capitalist for the socialist/communist left. It's all bullshit, complete fucking facade. Least you don't have any pretence further than enjoying your money.

I don’t enjoy the money. I enjoy the racing wheel and simulating 24 hours of Le Mans. In the future Marxist utopia, my role will be Paul Newman if he didn’t leave his living room

Just noticed I didn't "" racist and misogynist, I think you're neither, just funny. Happy hunting.

imagine just getting a compliment on the fucking opieandanthony sub.

Because you guys have left leaning politics

Were you the one who mentioned the 'roger rabbit' principle of "I can only say it when it's funny"? It was the one of the best explanations of the difference between race/sex humor and racism / sexism I've heard to date.

Yes it’s also one of the top 5 noir movies of all time

It was based on an earlier script that was a sequel to Chinatown.

Why would he need patreon anyway? He was collecting subs at the beginning of TACS. He could have done the same with a podcast.

That can't be true. The few mildly entertaining, somewhat known people that left his network surely wouldn't have done so because he can't pay for shit.

imagine having that face and thinking audio isnt enough for you. imagine existing in a world with patreon or kickstarter or whatever, but instead paid for everything all out of pocket figuring you'll make it back $15 at a time. imagine dropping that much money and time on everything only to get kicked off your only real advertising platform because you were physically unable to hold your spicy takes in till you recorded a podcast.

Yea he really fucked everything up.

imagine existing in a world with patreon or kickstarter or whatever

the whole point is he would be deplatofrmed by them and is making an alternative. Give him credit for trying with Gavin but really is he hosting any deplatform-worthy political agitation type stuff anymore? What is even going on there these days?

He probably makes most of his money renting the studio to other shows.

The ego and stupidity of not taking the advice of Rogan when he told you to not put your podcast behind a paywall. I mean, why listen to the guy making 7 figures from his “free” podcast. Ant really is like one of those N-person’s who lose everything within 2 years of retiring from the NBA.

The whole CP media thing seems so stupid. They cant have much more than a few thousand subscribers. Barely a few dozen people listen to the other shows. It can't last for much longer.

I thought you were talking about joe rogan at first

Ant over-extended himself with the City of Manhattan studio. Once it was clear that he still couldn't get many guests above the level of an open-micer, couldn't prise the Worm away from the Sirius shekels and access to better guests, couldn't get the Cellar Crowd to come in on any regular basis, and keeps that incompetent ex-cop running things and delegates everything to, he probably should have gone back to the basement studio and had worthwhile guests Skype in.

CM should be putting way more stuff up on YouTube. Even DiPaolo, with all his cashgrabbing on his podcast, based in the sticks and with minimal guests, has the sense to have two free shows a week and has released the first six months of his current show on YouTube so people can find the show and subscribe.

Now that Gavin and the Skanks left, Ant is stuck with nobodies and misfits who cannot draw any sort of crowd that makes the studio worthwhile. Now all we get is Ant bitching about his train commute and talking about how awful he is at video games. He should have jettisoned Keith once Gavin came on board. Even now, Erock could do Keith's job better. Ant had a good opportunity and he has fucked it all up.
