It really is astonishing to see a guy thoroughly fun to watch on NewsRadio, across most of his standup routines, and even early-on in his podcasts go from left-leaning, sympathetic, and genuinely curious person about all kinds of things, all the way to a naked sellout, whose usual defense of being a right-wing asshat is to proclaim "I'm just asking questions!"
On a parallel note, I understand that Kentucky's Mitch M. went from left-wing politico earlier in his career to essentially Darth Vader in the last few decades. Which is why I'd think it would be both fascinating, horrifying and hugely revealing to learn just how that happened, in as much detail as possible...
Maybe too many blows to the head after getting into MMA?
Nah, he's a long-time MMA commenter, not a participant. In fact, her ladyship Ronda Rousey called him out on that just recently. OTOH he actually does hold two legit Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts, so the man is no fraud in terms of martial arts.
Like his master Dana White though, it seems he's heavily in to nootropics and performance-enhancing shizzle. Along those lines, it seemed to me that both of them were fairly handsome men only a few years ago, and these days they just look... weird... Like, sort of greasy-faced, with enlarged heads, and sunken facial features.
