Damn dude, you sound more bitter then a lemon

 

May I suggest getting out of that douchebaggery state called Jersey and move somewhere where the woman don't look like over tanned puffer lipped fish? I guarentee you'll have better luck with woman outside of Douchette Jersey

 

Obviously you've never actually been here for any extended amount of time and only base your perceptions of places from things you see on TV. That indicates that you are dumber than a second coat of paint.

Actually there is no evidence of him being abusive. It appears those charges were dropped. Unless you have some new evidence?

 

What? From what I have heard so far that is all the talks about.

I dont agree with everything he says, but he sure has been entertaining as hell.

 

Back in the late 80s early 90s Lykis ran a general talk show in Los Angeles. He tended to be on the Libertarian and Liberal side of the political spectrum. After the LA/Rodney King Riots the forced out and retired Chief Gates was hired by his station and he was let go. Years later he developed the Lykis 101 act, it seems like from the Tom Cruise character from the movie Magnolia and instead of taking on the Rush Limbaugh's of the world took on the counter Doctor Laura market in syndication.

Thanks for the info, I have taken a shine to his show, I have found many of his old podcasts. Looking forward to him being back on the air because I have been playing catch up.

 

Now that you mention it (syndication), it does seem like I remember hearing him briefly when I spent a short amount of time in Chicago.

 

Liberal radio normally doesnt do well in a competitive market, even libertarian. It seems he took his life experience, found his niche and it turns out there is a huge audience for it. It appears to have worked really good for him and for the most part I find myself agreeing with him and he seems to be on point. You certainly have to listen with an open mind and consider the different sides of each spectrum.

 

Take me out old school Tom!

Its sad that people pay more attention to the person than to the message.

 

Sheeple mentality I guess.

 

If a serial killer says that exercising is healthy, Im gonna agree with him because I believe what he says is right. Im intelligent enough to tell truth from lie without relying on the reputation of the speaker.

I think sometimes he only put the wack jobs on the air. He probably gets tons of calls from good and intelligent women but when he gets one that fits his views like the one who bragged about cheating on her husband he puts on the air because it fits what he is saying. At least I hope this is true.
