I actually HAD a morning college radio talk type show for a while with a female partner. I "played" the misogynistic asshole smart-ass. It was quite a stretch...NOT!!! We were quite popular til I lost interest and quit waking up that early.

Plus it's too much work to get laid by women with jobs and responsibility. I stuck with my Friday and Saturday night dance party show which attracted the freaks and other of that ilk.

I called Rush's show many times, but got through once. Answered by Bo Snerdley, but never got on.

When I get my own show I'll take your call Willie.

The show will be called "Devil's Advocate" and the premise will be that whatever people call about, I will disagree with them.

So what will happen when someone calls and says that gays shouldn't get married?

And I picture your radio show being more like Prothero in V for Vendetta.

Spare me, but if I get through, I will consider it a wrong number.

Then I'll take the opposite view and argue FOR homosexual marriage.

People listen to talk radio for the arguments.

That would be interesting. A show where the host will disagree with anything you say...

88.2 GSHR- The Devil's Advocate Programme! The only show where no matter what your position is, you wil be proven wrong. Suck it up!

Sounds kewl enough!

If done right that does sound like a great radio program. You could teach, through example, various discussion and debate techniques to the American public. You could show how discourse can be manufactured (as it is by you everytime someone calls) and probably start a lot of listeners listening for fallacies. Because they know it's bullshit and the challenge is to call you on your bullshit.

It wouldn't be bullshit though. For (almost) every argument there is a valid opposite argument.

The best debaters (modesty forbids me to mention any names) are able to argue the opposite case just as persuasively as what they actually believe.
