or nobody gives a poo poo about your views on race

I didn't have much notice to make a new OP so this is a quick one.

WNEW FM partially reformed on XM Radio. Opie & Anthony and Ron & Fez had an amazing New York studio. There was a large cast of weird characters and comedians coming in. Everything was great. Then the Sirius merger happened. And they moved the shows into a broom closet in the sky. Characters stopped showing up. Comedians became too big for the show. And everything kind of drifted for a couple years. Opie & Anthony leaned on Anthony's politics. Ron & Fez leaned on Fez's growing mental illness and games to fill time.

Anthony was fired for comments on Twitter. Fez was fired retired.

So what now?

Bennington

The best of the new shows. Ron has teamed up with his real life daughter Gail and not real life son Pepper Hicks. They keep things silly. Here's a Best Of YouTube playlist if you need to catch up. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVQkEl0-Qf5YFgipeC9jBoAs8GxaEjIDF

Opie & Jim

Or OpieRadio. They're still doing the morning show on the same channel. Dialed back the politics and seem more focused on pop culture. Jim does an advice show on Fridays.

Anthony Cumia

Runs a video podcast out of his basement. Four days a week, 2 hours a day. Costs $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Occasionally he does a free broadcast to try to drum up interest. Says he'll dial back the politics but still leans on it. Rumored to be getting a New York studio in July.

Sam Show

Fridays. Rumored to be going daily on OpieRadio. Occasionally DJ Whoo Kid or Nicole from the Morning Mashup stop by.

It's Erik Nagel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2xxrwh3gFM

Fridays. Just expanded to 3 hours. Mostly nerd talk and interviews.

Various podcasts

Off the top of my head. Davey Mac's Sport Program. High Society Radio. Legion Of Skanks. My Wife Hates Me with Rich Vos and Bonnie. Robert Kelly You Know What Dude. Bill Burr's Morning Podcast. Nick DiPaulo. Race Wars with Kurt Metzger and Sherrod Small.

Has anyone here subscribed to cumias show? Is it worth it, his YouTube clips are petty great.

If you look around, you can find full episodes. I've only listened to a couple but they seem extremely hit and miss. Sometimes he has a good guest in and it's fun to listen. Other times it just feels like lazy radio as he's all alone or with some right wing talking head. The good guests seem like they are drying up but maybe that will change once he gets a New York studio. I guess if you love Anthony and don't mind his politics if would be worth checking out.

He also keeps a show log at http://theanthonycumiashow.blogspot.com/

I know it's annoying to hear people say this, but I'm throwing my vote out that the shows should be split to different threads. At least Bennington/R&F and the 202 poo poo. It just seems the fan base is more divided than ever at this point.

If some butthurt human being wants to make his own Anthony Cumia thread where they can real talk about race or whatever horseshit they feel like they can't talk about in here without getting dogpiled, I'll PM a mod and get it removed from the title. Otherwise, I'm just going to leave it be and we can laugh at the funny clips Anthony posts on his YouTube and ignore all of the terrible stuff

If you don't have to listen live, Audible is a way better deal. It's a year of O&J or Bennington for $15 (through AudibleGold) and those shows stay in your account forever.

Anthony Cumia on the Reddit backlash posted:

Holy crap. One day you rule, the next you're poo poo. So goes the game I guess. I honestly want to and try to not dwell on race. The past 2 weeks have been insane with race on the news. I hit in a lot of other stuff though. Aside from the 6 hr marathon show, I always try to cover something else aside from the "big story" of the day. The race topic is on every channel every day. Hard to 100% stay clear. Even so, I do try to keep even the serious subjects fun. I try not to go to long without laughing. I'm sorry if you can't deal with it anymore. Hope that changes anywho. Maybe the show just PAST YOU BY!!!!! Anyway, thanks for the input. Good or bad.

Anthony Cumia posted:

Oh poo poo. Now what!? I'm dancing as fast as I can!! Look. The show is what it is. The subject matter, tone and weather it's "funny" or not depends on a lot of things on a daily basis. I hope on average it works and people like it. It's impossible to have people like every show. I guess I can take solace in the fact that SNL always sucks but it still does well. 😉

I'm kind of surprised he isn't taking shots at Ron since Ron was the one who started all of this. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2n1ydp_ronnie-b-drops-a-truth-bomb-on-anthony_fun

I'm going to laugh pretty hard if Opie & Jim actually end up going somewhere now that their show isn't attached to a lunatic racist who fantasized about killing black people on air weekly. Maybe that visual element's on the way. Ha ha.

Haha, I thought Anthony was bullshitting about that. I'm surprised he actually blew up their spot (but I'm not sure how writers will fit in with a live radio program that traditionally has very little prep)

I would I could find the raw audio of them cutting that bit. They did it live on one of those Paltalk Aftershows they use to do. Ron was so tired and they spent half the time trying to figure out a way to jam Fez into the bit (maybe you can be the announcer? do your announcer voice. no, gruffer)

Hey Charlie, can you give us an update or a quick rundown about all the SXM youtube bullshit?

I'm not sure about the latest.

I was cutting Bennington best of clips on the same day as broadcast. My idea was to string them all together like my Midnight Rider upload except with an entire radio show instead of a single bit spanning a month. I told the show what I was doing, they were interested in using some of them for Best Of. So I send all the WAVs to Chris. Apparently, they used some of them on the best of today and gave me a shoutout (I haven't listened yet)

Unrelated to all of that, I somehow trigger the Sirius lawyers and they go crazy issuing takedown orders. 59 videos get pulled. 29 of them were from WNEW. I contact the show in a panic. They don't know what's going on.

And that's basically it. I haven't heard anything else. This is strike 2 on my account so I'm taking a break from editing until I know that they won't issue any more takedown notices.

That's a drat shame. You, Disco Dog and RonsCigar are really good at picking out the best bits, and SiriusXM loses no money for free advertisement.

The three strike thing is ridiculous; happened to me back in 2009. Was stupid of me to think I didn't have to keep backups of videos, but I lost everything because of a few very short TV clips I uploaded. Hope you had the ones that got deleted saved.

I didn't have some of the earlier WNEW stuff saved but somebody contacted me on Reddit awhile back saying that they were archiving all the Ron & Fez uploaders in case something like this happens so I'll have to see if he still has it.

And it looks like eriksmindset just got taken down. I guess I triggered a panic. He closed his account. http://www.reddit.com/r/opieandanthony/comments/37cmzv/the_louis_ck_on_oa_series_is_gone/

of course the story is bullshit. Opie might not like the term morning zoo but he knows that the show is turning into a mainstream radio show. He's intentionally making it into one. And frankly out of everybody on the staff Sam saying that would have the least impact on Opie since Sam has plenty of his own corny poo poo.

Anthony made this up to promote the Sam Roberts show.

It's funny that O&J has so few listeners that the rumor was able to gain traction in every O&A community.

I haven't listened to O&A since a year before Ant left and only really keep up with them via this thread, but I heard Jim Norton on Nerdist this weekend. He was awful. He spent the entire time talking about freedom of speech, Ant's firing, and then chess. His standup has always sucked compared to his on-air riffing with Ant and other comedians (Opie excluded). If Jimmy would have left O&A around the time of Lucky Louie he might have had some new experiences to add to his act but instead he stays in his sex addiction bubble and refuses to listen to any other comedy because he's afraid it might "influence his act." If only. He's loving stagnant and hasn't done anything interesting in 10 years.

Bill Burr is the blueprint of what Jimmy should have done after he got some heat from O&A.

It's a great line but if you listen to the last couple of times Vos has been on the show, you'll find similar things with Vos getting a little rough and Opie jokingly acting like it's his last time on the air. Vos is actually insecure about that. Opie use to mention all the time about how Vos would call up after a mean show and apologize.

A lot of the posts and users in the SA O&A thread share the same kind of language and get butthurt over the same things. I mean it is entirely true that former fans are getting butthurt and annoyed, but there is an organized effort coming from SOMEWHERE egging everyone on with tons of alt accounts and this is entirely obvious to anyone who does some investigating.

Wait, what exactly is going on? Anthony is losing subs and some idiot lurker thinks it's a goon rush thing or something? Do we even do that stuff anymore? I mean, I know there was that thing vs Reddit a few years back to get them to close down the pedo poo poo; but other than that, I can't think of anything major in the past five years at the very least.

Or are we just being blamed for trolling him on Twitter or something?

Anthony's getting the Opie treatment over at /r/opieandanthony for being a thin-skinned douche and one of the moderators over at the unofficial official Anthony subreddit think that it's a goon rush or Opie paying people to bad mouth Anthony. Both ideas being lol

It's been a year since Anthony launched the show and I think now that there's two good shows on his network, people feel like they don't have to brigade his worn out poo poo anymore. The hardcores are still holding out hope that the mythical New York studio will turn everything around.
