I would've at least like to have heard what the anthony and jim show wouldve sounded like.
-
Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Thank fucking god we never got the Anthony and Jim show.

Hard disagree. Opie was constantly brewing up strong takes. He just needed material to work with.
You heard it many times over the years at Compound and it fucking sucked.
Jim wanted a better deal , a bigger space ,and one with a green screen. Jim like doing those faggot bits with the compound green screen
You gotta take the bad with the good; the "Cellar Crew" were all Norton's friends, and were only there because of him. The glory days of the O&A show were pretty inarguably entirely because of those guys. I don't care how many of them call AntH "the funniest guy to never do stand-up!", if their friend Jim wasn't on the show, none of those guys were going to be regulars.
Giving Jim a pass for continuing the show along with Opie < Ironic Opie praise.
Opie at least had the sack to trash Howard Stern on his way out.
Within a couple years they'd get into a screaming match on air about Anthony's unfunny, sincere, over the top racism and it would ruin their friendship. Anthony would see Jim as just another fucking nigger lover *spits*.
eh yeah you might be right about that.
Yet another example of Anthony rewriting history; pretending only Opie wanted to trash Howard
A lot of them wanted on the show for the plugs really. Because being a regular comedian on Stern or O&A was almost a guaranteed way to sell out certain markets. That was why the Jim and Opie fight over Sean Rouse was so heated. Because Opie was sick of having lame comedians use their show for plugs like they were a low level terrestrial radio local morning show. And Opie basically threatened to Jim that he would no longer be allowed to book or suggest any guests for the show. Jim needed that ability to bring his friends onto the show to make him a power player in the Cellar crowd.
And Norton used to relish in his power as a gatekeeper for O&A, where he could book comedians, UFC fighters, and porn whores for his own amusement even if the fans hated those segments. He could basically use the show for UFC plugs and weasel his way into a UFC gig. Or invite a bunch of porn whores on and get a gig at some porn awards show. O&A were just as guilty sometimes by having stupid faggots like Lazlo on the show just so they could get voice acting parts in a GTA game.
Anthony liked trashing Howard when they were not working for the same companies or in the same building. But any time they would need to trash management or someone from their own company, including Howard, Anthony was the conflict averse mommy's shoe wearing faggot. Like when Anthony would argue about nigger crime, guns, 9/11, or whatever by himself on the air he was all confident and loud. But any time a guest would challenge him he would piss his pants like when Ron Bennington was there with Colin Flaherty. Or if a caller challenged Anthony he would just pot their mic down or hang up on them.
Fact is that if Opie were to show up to a Compound show live, Anthony would do nothing but praise him and not argue. He cannot have any conflict around him personally. Unless he is beating his girlfriend over her finding a vibrating buttplug or whatever.
You couldn't possibly be more wrong. Jim Norton didn't introduce anyone to the show. Rich Vos brought Patrice Oneal... Jim Norton didn't turn O&A on to anyone new.
In fact, Norton tried and failed to block DL Hughley from appearing... Norton successfully blocked Gavin McInnes from ever appearing on O&A because he didn't want VICE to get angry at him for talking to their former owner.
They would have dominated the tranny guests market
