Who is Anthony Cumia?
If your answer was simply "fired co-host of The Opie and Anthony Show," you'd be living in the dark ages. After 10 highly profitable years on SiriusXM's most popular talk show after Howard Stern, Cumia was unceremoniously dumped this past July for tweets about an off-air incident that Sirius deemed racist.
Because it was, stupid.
Just a few weeks later, Cumia was already live streaming his own subscription-based webcasts from a state-of-the-art studio in his home on Long Island, known by fans as "The Compound." The positive response was immediate, and there was no turning back.

I'd disown anyone who gave me even one piece of his shit.
What's your definition of a good day?

Your last two sentences completely negate each other, you fucking Pillock.
I don't wish to spoil the rest, it's an absolute puff piece, and a real time capsule of just how much he's fallen since he started this endeavour.
