Fun but short

Anthony does a great job of reading his book here - is really entertaining. The first half of the book is really fun with Anthony bashing a bunch of radio and comedian hacks - and telling some behinds the scenes stuff I had never heard before. I wish he got into more background on what happened with Stuttering John - why the feud started, I missed some shows in that era so I really don’t know and it could have helped padded out the length. Still, Ant is on fire for most of this giving an A+ performance. Later in the book he goes into politics and cancel culture - which I hear a lot on the current show so it wasn’t as compelling but wasn’t boring either.

Overall I very much enjoyed it - just wished it was longer.

Short Book

Lifetime fan of Cumia, which is why youre getting 5 stars. Really wish there was more to the book though, nothing old really discussed and really didnt give a shit about the scam artist chapter- that was excessively long. Buy the book to support tony two shirts, just dont expect anything like the first one.

Awesome listen

Anthony is great, I love his book and hearing his side of everything. He is a great storyteller, and it is no surprise he has been so successful with radio and podcasts. Thank you for being a voice of common sense and freedom of speech. USA

Short but good stories - definitely a fun one

I never was Ope and Anthony Fan growing up (was a loyal fan of Stern, Don & Mike, and Ron & Fez) but became a fan of Ant after they split apart. I don’t agree with Anthony’s political or social takes, but I respect his opinion. He makes some good points and he’s a smart and entertaining comic, who I enjoy listening to. this is a good book for anyone that wants to hear stories of a guy after he left a multimillion dollar gig at Sirius XM and now runs a big podcast and just sold his media company. It was great to listen to his opinion of some of the interactions he had with famous and not so famous people a.k.a. Bill Burr, Stuttering John, and of course his old partner Opie.

Cumia is the best, most honest story teller around!

Every chapter is GOLD! A rare “inside look” at the entertainment industry and the real people in it!

This went more scorched earth than I was expecting

I've been writing reviews since I was 18. I'll say that this book would have benefited from going to the phones more often. Otherwise, it's excellent.

Fawk Yeak, Cumia! Home Run!

You will never find yourself loosing interest whenever Ant talks about anything. He has always been / and always will be an amazing storyteller. No matter what he talks about you will always find yourself fully captivated wither it's throwing in a quick joke here, funny voice impression there - Ant is king and was made to be listened to.
