Episode Date: January 27, 2026

Now that you know Paul Allen and his history in Minnesota, here is what he actually said that allegedly has people pissed off. The people who are allegedly outraged are people who have never done anything of significance in their lives. It's also fun that the people who believe the media is being censored now want people to be censored. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

All right, so I'm back now. After spending that entire time, the 20 plus minutes, which was supposed to be a podcast about Paul Allen offending some people, which he didn't, by the way. People are full of shit. But about Paul Allen and what he said on the radio that had people in Minnesota losing their minds. But I ended up going on a 20-minute diatribe about what ifs, which, look, it's my favorite topic.

My favorite topics, my radio career, Night Ranger, Back to the future And what ifs Those are my favorite things Which all kind of connect, right? Back to the future is all about what ifs My career is all about what ifs So anyway, let's play a couple of commercials

And let's hear what Paul Allen said That caused him to have to issue an apology Again, voice of the Minnesota Vikings I think he's very good at what he does Let's play a couple commercials and get into it. All right. as you know, there's a lot of shit going down in Minneapolis, because shit just goes down in Minneapolis. I'm not like politically savvy, as you know, but the fact that all this shit seems

to go down in Minneapolis, what a fucking hellhole Minneapolis is. It's cold all the time. The coldest I've ever been, well, actually, the coldest I've ever been may have been last Friday when I was waiting to go to this Assis Ansari show in Royal Oak, Michigan, waiting outside in line. That may be the coldest I've ever been. But the first or second coldest I've ever been, but the first or second coldest I've ever been. Minneapolis, Super Bowl, waiting in line to see Kelly Clarkson perform at the Super Bowl, and my beard was frozen. I guess that had to been the coldest because my beard was straight up frozen for that.

My beard wasn't frozen for this one. It was miserable, but my beard wasn't frozen. My beard was ice in the Minneapolis setting. So anyway, Minneapolis, always snowy. I have friends that have lived there. They've told me it's fucking miserable, though it's constantly snowy and cold. I'm kind of experiencing that in Detroit now, which also fucking sucks for snow. But anyway, so Paul Allen, voice of the Vikings also has a radio show 9 to noon, highly rated.

I fucking love the guy on the radio doing play by play. Never listen to his radio show and don't care. Apparently he's kind of divisive among people there. Like some love him, some hate him. I'm going to guess a lot of people that say they hate him are just people that are glomming on over being outraged by his comments or whatever. it doesn't matter. This is Paul Allen on his radio show a couple days ago talking about things. A throwaway line about protesting in Minneapolis.

What about cayenne pepper? Yeah, I heard that's the thing now. I didn't know the cayenne pepper a bit. Put in your sock? Did you not see that? Yeah, the cayenne pepper in a sod. The potential of trees exploding. Is that real?

Can we talk about it? In conditions like this, do paid protesters get hazard pay? Those are the things that I've been thinking about this morning. Yeah, probably not going to touch that one. So, I like how his buddy's like, not talking about that, Chief. Do you think I want to fuck around with these people in Liberaville, USA and have my career come to an end, Paul? No, sir, re.

Now, let's start with this. The idea that that comment could even potentially lead a guy to losing his job is probably the most pathetic thing you're going to hear. but it's not shocking because we live in pathetic times where people are gigantic gaping vaginas. And that's the thing is I don't, like, I feel pretty confident that most of these people aren't legitimately offended. They're brainwashed and they're in cults and they want flesh and they want to ruin people because it makes them feel powerful. Look, I've experienced this shit, man. Like it's really easy for someone who's a nobody that is never going to be anything.

And I'm not doing this to tell you that I'm some sort of God of broadcasting or that, you know, I'm a pillar in the broadcasting community. But it's really easy for someone who's a total nobody, a dud, a stiff, a loser. That's only way of being relevant at all is social media. When you don't know what it's like to open a microphone and talk for four hours, when you've never had to carry a radio show or a TV show or a podcast even for that matter. when your life is going to social media and bitching, and that's how you get your currency. What is your currency? Likes, retweets, whatever. When that is the most important thing in your life, you don't have to think of reason.

You just go to social media and demand that people lose their job because it gets you the likes you want. That is the downfall of America. The downfall of this country is not Trump. The downfall of this country is not the liberals. The downfall is none of that. The downfall is social media. Social media at this point has ruined the country. And it will continue to ruin the country because there's too much power involved in being in social media.

I know I talk about this a lot. It's one of the main things I talk about. It's like the most political thing I'll get into usually. But social media has created a world where there's no accountability, where Elon and whomever is in charge of all this shit just feed your out. algorithm shit that's just going to make you angry so people will yell and engage and make other people rich? And it's taken people who otherwise would be nobody's. I mean, look at the number of people on social media who have like five, six thousand followers.

It's a decent number of followers. People have a decent number of followers whose only contribution to the world as they get on Twitter and bitch about things. Like the number of, or they just have tits and they talk about something you like, like I'll give you an example. the number of Twitter accounts I see that have thousands of followers, not like hundreds of thousands, but like a decent amount of followers that are just like chicks that are decent looking that are like Astros fans. They're like, hey, I'm Astros, Milf, and I love baseball, and I can't believe that Jose Altuve is not a first ballot hall of famer.

And, oh, look, I'm not going to show you all of my tits, but I'm going to make sure I post just enough of my cleavage where you're turned on and you're going to click on it. and you think you know I'm cute enough, so you're going to like my post and you're going to follow me because why wouldn't you? My tits are out enough and I like the things you like. Like that's social media. The number of people who are on social media who are irrelevant outside of social media is in the hundreds of millions. But they keep their relevance by just running to social media and demanding people lose their jobs because they don't know what it's like to be in a position where people demand you lose your job because you're not in a position of being anything. of relevance. You are irrelevant. You are a nobody. Now that's not to say that everybody that's not famous on social media or the radio or TV is irrelevant. But big picture, the people who are the

loudest, most vocal people about wanting people fired from their jobs tend to be irrelevant also ran puds, right? And I've lived that life, man. You end up with this mob of people and they don't care what you said. Deep down, they're not offended by what you said. All they know is that you represent another side of the political spectrum that they hate and they will stop at nothing to ruin you. And there's no consequence for them. They go online. They say they're offended by something. They tweet your boss. Say that you should be fired. And then they go about pulling their fucking pud to porn hub all day or whatever the fuck it is, jerking off into a fleshlight, which I am curious about, by the way.

It seems like it'd be comfortable and nice. It'd be a nice little home for your penis. But, like, they sit around, and that's their life. And all they want is to ruin you. And they have no idea what it's like to be anything. They're just in their own little cocoon. And if they get the right tweet, that's the right response to somebody, they'll get thousands of likes.

And it's endorphins. I mean, like, it just, it lights them up. It is their lives. And that's what's happening to this Paul Allen. that was one of the more innocuous things you're going to hear somebody say on the radio. Mind you, he's hosting the talk show. You do a talk show every day. You're eventually going to say something that's going to offend somebody.

Fuck, dude, we talked about it last week. I said, hey, it looks like bad things tend to happen at hookabars. Lady calls and spends five minutes wanting to get me fired. Think about that. Like, I've lived it. I feel like I can offer insights that some shithead on Twitter can't offer because they don't live in the real world. Their real world is being a shut-in on Twitter and being a political zealot.

My experience is having people call radio stations over throwaway lines and demand that I get fired. What I just heard was fucking disgusting. Awful. You know, that lady. The radio DJ in his radio DJ voice. This woman who was so appalled by what I said. It was the most insanely f***ing up thing I've ever heard. In my life.

It is wild how broken these people truly are. And by the way, I'm not letting right-wing people off the hook either because you're in the eye for an eye business too, kids. You know, I don't know how many of the right-wing people legitimately gave a shit about Charlie Kirk or even knew who he was. I didn't even know who the fucking guy was. But when Charlie Kirk got shot, magically, everybody in the world, like I don't know how many podcast listeners Charlie Kirk had. But I imagine it wasn't 70 or 80 million Republicans who voted for Trump. But then magically, 70 to 80 million people that are Republicans just knew everything about Charlie Kirk and he was a hero to everybody. Look, I'm not celebrating that the guy got whacked or anything.

But magically, all those people became fans of Charlie Kirk. Wow, they knew exactly who the guy was. And they knew his whole backstory. And they loved his wife. And he was a hero. And he was the voice for the younger generation. I talked to somebody and know that's a right-wing guy. He's like, boy, Charlie Kirk was our generation's Rush Limbaugh.

It's the same way that right-wing people all of a sudden care about a lot of these people who get shot as long as they are people who help push across their beliefs. And it's the same thing with left-wing people. Like they decided that this guy that got shot in Minnesota was worth their time. Why? Because he's a guy who got shot by ICE. Ice is Trump. Trump is Hitler. Therefore, this guy says everything.

He is the face of everything that is important to them. He is a hero. The word hero is being thrown around for this guy. That is preposterous. It sucks that the guy got shot. It blows. Sorry that you're dead, bro. But the reason I'm alive is I ain't going to take my ass out to these protests and have

something go down. I'm going to sit my ass at home and eat my fucking Cheetos and enjoy my life. But anyway, that's neither here nor there. But I'm just letting you know that I'm not letting either group off the hook because that's what these people do. They find a cause. The same people that say fuck your feelings. The same people that are like, why do you?

do all these liberals want to get people fired? Well, they're in the eye for an eye group too. And the eye for an eye group see something that they're not truly offended by, but because some liberal who's gone after them before says it's offensive or said something that they now deem offensive, then they demand. The people who do not want to have people lose their jobs over words are now magically the people that want you to lose your job over your words in the same vein. The same people who hate guns, the guns kill people, are now all in favor of.

a guy going to a protest and packing heat. And then on the same vein, the people who are all about guns are like, well, don't have a gun. And like, there's so much about this. Everybody's hypocritical. Everybody's full of shit. Now, which side, like some guy's been going after me on, which is also stupid, but some guy's been going after me on Twitter. And the guy going after me on Twitter is, I never see Josh Innes post anything other than maga bull shit. I know what side he's on. No, I comment on shit that my algorithm shows me. I tell you what I think about certain shit. First off, if I was Maga, go fuck yourself.

I can be whatever the hell I want and I can believe whatever the fuck I want to believe. It's not illegal to feel the way I feel about shit. Just like it's not illegal to be a dipshit who spends his entire day on social media, pissed off and shitting on right-wing people and trying to cancel them. I can feel however the fuck I want to feel. That means I'm right or you're right, but I can feel how I feel. He's like, I've never seen Josh Ennis say anything other than you. shit that would fall in line with Maga. And some guy kind of interjects. I didn't respond to any of it

because I'm doing better in life. But, you know, I'm ignoring these things. But some guy then responds to him, a listener, I would imagine an old listener of mine from Houston, and says, I used to listen to Josh all the time and I can assure you I heard him say things that would not fall in line with Maga's shit. Like he says a lot of shit that Brightwing people wouldn't agree with. Oh, really? Name one. Like, I don't know, bro. It was 10 years ago. I don't know everything he said. But like, That's the argument these people make. People are broken. They're fucked in the head.

And social media is their currency. And both sides just want eye for an eye. That's the problem. That's the biggest issue we run into in the world of social media and people losing their jobs and everything else is that you get people who just want an eye for an eye and they feign being offended by something because they feel like another group got away with it and they don't want them to be allowed to get away with it. You're seeing it with the gun thing now from left-wing people with the gun shit.

They're like, oh, the people, all the pro-gun people, what about the couple in St. Louis that had their guns out? You were fine with that? Well, again, they ignore reality. And reality was those people were protecting their fucking house and they're allowed to do that. But, like, and that, you know, they weren't out there in the middle of a protest face-to-face with ICE agents impeding them. But see, you say that, now you're a MAGA guy. No, I'm a common sense fucking guy. Deal with it, ye embeciles.

But anyway, I know I'm kind of all over the place here, but it sets the stage for this Paul Allen thing. And the Paul Allen thing, and again, I guess I should reiterate this. Actually, here's what I'm going to do. Now that I've done, I did the same thing. But this whole thing brings out a rage that I have about a lot of shit. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to go and play his.

apology in the next podcast, okay? That's what I'm going to do here. So, because I try to keep these to about 15 minutes. So let's do that. All right, I will be back in podcast episode number three about this Paul Allen thing after this.
