He actually did a podcast a few months before his death.

You can draw your own conclusions from his decision to hang himself on his first wedding anniversary.

I'm 31 minutes into this 37 minute podcast but there is nothing there so far. He got let go and seemed pretty happy at his rock station gig working and doing a show at night.

Unless something comes up these last 6 minutes there is nothing logical that leads me to believe why he would kill himself a year into his marriage with a newborn

I do believe he was fired from that rock station gig not long after.

I thought it was well known Steve killed himself. Infact I'm pretty sure I've heard the boys confirm it at some point, I just don't remember where or when that was.

I dont think it was ever stated directly that Steve killed himself by anyone on the show until Anthony's AMA. He passed away, and people on message boards would gossip about it because nobody ever announced a cause of death, which usually only happens when the cause of death is suicide. People claiming to be friends-of-friends would also post and say that he offed himself

My favorite will always be anything Scott and Todd just because of how it all played out. The Scott phone-in and former intern interview was the perfect conclusion to the whole thing. I love that Scott is STILL kicking rear end in the ratings and Todd is failing miserably.

Is Todd even on the air anymore? The way it sounded in the intern interview (well, per Sam) is that Todd was given a cohost which would eventually eclipse the show and he would be booted off into production, management, or simply fired. I imagine Todd would take his dignity and shuffle off considering how much poo poo went down to get him a show that bombed.

First Twitter, then Periscope. Which app do you guys think is next to further reveal the shittiness of Anthony Cumia? SnapChat? Something not even invented yet?

Considering the methodology of Ant, I'd say Xbox Live.

Lieutenant Centaur posted:

Did they ever say why he killed himself? He had just gotten married to a girl out of his league and had a kid right? Was he not able to find a job after being released?

This whole topic has been pretty hush hush

Mention it on the O&A Reddit, it'll probably be answered when Opie flips out again.

He was unceremoniously dumped from the best job he possibly could get in radio because he made too much money, he almost moved his family for a job that the station knew wouldn't be there by the end of the year, he was presumably let go from a rock station he thought would be a solid gig.

Job insecurity and the pressures of a new family are a motherfucker.

Last night circa 3am EST, Anthony got into a twitter fight with a comedian named Dave Anthony (I believe Dave started it by making a DV joke to Ant). It turned into a mini-Jocktober, with the poor bastard shutting down all his social media. I have no doubt Ant will spend most if not all of Monday's show ripping this guy apart. There's a bunch of screencaps and whatnot over on the O&A subreddit, but not the TACS one for whatever reason.

Also, Brother Joe was the guest on an internet radio show, and went on a number of racist tirades while claiming to not be racist, with no self-awareness. If you're interested, it was posted here:

Warning: The show in question would love the "no kin to a monkey" song.

Isn't it strange to hear good radio from two people who are genuinely good friends?

Also, do you have a link to the PS2 story? Must have missed that.

I like the Bonfire, though they should probably call it "Weird Porn with Dan and Jay". And I agree that the callers are kind of lame because they have way too much patience with them, but the Brad call and aftermath was pretty funny.

Glad Bennington is back this week.

Their obsession with Cory Feldman and Chet Hanks is what solidified The Bonfire as top-tier radio for me. Also the first episode I ever heard they began by joking about Crossroads by Bone Thugs n Harmony, they're the only show I'm listening to current episodes of anymore - sadly :(
