If I wanted to hear altered words to make me feel good, I would go elsewhere.

But if I'm tuning into the news station or a regular radio show, I expect at least the truth. Don't tell me it's sunny outside if it's raining. :rolleyes:

This show normally doesn't have a problem talking about the more difficult situations in life, or things that many may be afraid to approach. You can go here and scroll down and down and get an idea of what they cover and have before.

But with the new push for trans sports, bathrooms, 15,613 different genders... and now this is out of line. :rolleyes: I would have walked if I were him too.

“I’m against her binary thing; I think she’s a troubled woman and a lot of young people are taking her seriously and it bothers me,” Siegel shared. “But of course, it’s a comedy show, so I did it in the context of jokes.”

“We were having fun with it, and my boss called up and said that I’d crossed the line and they didn’t want me talking about it anymore,” he added. “I responded by saying, ‘If I can’t talk about what I’m thinking at this point in my career, I don’t want to be on the radio anymore.'”

“I am the biggest of all time, and they said, ‘Shut up, Matt! Stop talking,'” Siegel continued. “Well, I hope you’re happy, because I just stopped talking. Matty out.”

Later, Siegel shared with the outlet he doesn’t think his departure from the show is permanent but does believe his time is coming to an end due to the woke culture.

“It’s not personal, it’s professional,” Siegel shared. “He said he doesn’t want me talking about this… Today I was anti wokeness and I can’t do that, so basically, what I’m told is, I can talk about light, funny things like where the Jonas Brothers are going to be….”

They is plural. Wouldn't the correct non-binary term be "it"?

Also, he's already back on the radio:
