Fuck youtube let’s go back to radio shows.

Let me tell you the opie and Anthony fable.

Once upon a time there were a couple guys who wanted to be like stern. They had good connections in the new York comedy world via their co host Jim norton so their show became a haven for comedy. Early louie ck, Patrice o Neal, Colin quin, bill burr, all the guys that came up together.

Then… drama. Anthony cumia goes down the rabbit hole of his prexisting racism. Opie becomes somehow more insufferable and Jim Norton is there I guess because he loves a good coat tail.

Around when their show fell apart the fan subreddit turned completely to being nothing but hate and trolling of these b list former radio celebrities. I’ve never seen anything like it.

There were a lot of funny and talented people shitposting on there. They’d trick news outlets to saying terrorist attacks were made by “antwan kumia”. Relentlessly troll their socials and brigade other communities until they got banned.

This is actually where Gavin put that stuff in his ass on cam. Compound media. Anthony cumias racist podcast network lmfao. I still subscribe because I don’t think I’ll find out anywhere else when he dies.

RIP funniest and most toxic place on internet. My life became better once I stopped reading and posting, but do miss it.
