Controversial host Anthony Cumia took to the Reddit community to answer questions. We spent some time gathering the most interesting parts of the AMA session.

Anthony would have loved Jimmy as a Co-host

Turns out that before Jimmy re-signed with Sirius, Anthony may have asked him to to join him on his own platform. He added "Didn't work out that way. I would have loved to have him as a cohost."

His relationship with Opie is in an 'odd place'

Anthony laid his relationship out in a similar way to having a roommate for too long. He added that "We weren't as close as we were at the beginning.

Once I got fired, I think we both just decided to spend some time away." They never really addressed the whole thing and seemed to have comfortably moved on to different things.

Anthony wants to create a network

Anthony has some long-term plans to turn his website into a network.

And it sounds like he already has the ball rolling to some degree: "We've approached and are in discussions with certain personalities regarding this venture! I'm amazing with my legal jargon!"

He has no immediate plans for a co-host

He was asked if he has any plans to add a co-host to the show, as most successful shows have more than one personality.

He went on to talk about how difficult it is to find a personality that lines up with him: "It is nearly impossible to find someone that you can sit next to on a daily basis and discuss the minutia of the day."

Anthony has some regrets about the tirade that got him fired

Anthony was asked about the collateral damage that his firing had on everyone else, and he admitted that he has regrets about that part of it.

On the other hand, it's all part of the business and he goes on to explain: "This was a program that had been fired and suspended on occasions, staff thrown out the door, it's not exactly the most secure living that one could attach themselves to."

Anthony is dying to be on Howard Stern

Anthony's most colorful reaction came when he was asked about being on Howard Stern, but only because of the publicity. Seems like he has no bad blood about any of the bashing in the past and goes on to say "As far as our battles - that's how you deal with him. If you use any other tactic on Howard, you lose.

It made for interesting radio and interesting conversations with management. As far as a personal issue? No. I'd see the show in the halls or the streets - couldn't be nicer."
