Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire recently made comments condemning Disney’s decision to cast Halle Bailey, a black actress, as Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Walsh claimed it wasn’t accurate “scientifically” for a mermaid to be black. In turn, SiriusXM host Joe Madison called Walsh a “jackass”, among other things, for his comments.

“This is just my perspective,” Madison said. “I’ll be honest with you. Listen to this asshole. I mean listen to him. This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard as it relates to a fictional character. He actually talks like mermaids exist.”

Madison then played the clip of Walsh’s comments, where he argued “from a scientific perspective, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to have someone with darker skin who lives deep in the ocean” before saying, for accuracy’s sake, the mermaid should be translucent. He then added, “that would actually be the version of The Little Mermaid that I would watch”.

“‘From a scientific perspective, can we all agree about mermaids?’…what the f*** is scientific about a mermaid?”, Madison shouted. “I’m just gonna get the $20 out and put it in the swear jar. ‘From a scientific perspective, I’m getting ready to describe to you what a mermaid looks like’. This is what he’s getting ready to do! If you’ve seen a mermaid, call me! Ok!”

Madison continued to be dumbfounded by the statement.

“Disney ought to sue his ass. Who is this guy? Daily Wire? Are you freaking kidding me? Mickey Mouse should be gray! Give me a break! Give me a break! ‘Oh, by the way, scientifically, if you’re in the deep sea, you should be translucent’. Huh? Tell that to the clownfish. I used to have an aquarium. Tell that to the octopus that can change f***ing colors…never mind. I’ll be getting dollars in this swear jar.

“Disney, what you should really do is have a mermaid where you can see her freaking brains and her skeleton. ‘Oh, by the way, that’s the Little Mermaid film I’ll watch’. God. You keep giving out names. He’s a jackass, he’s a troll. No. He’s an asshole. Give me a break! My god!”

SiriusXM radio host Howard Stern told “Morning Joe’s” Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist in an extensive interview that MSNBC is the network for him regarding cable news consumption. 

Stern stated that he’s a major fan of “Morning Joe” and went the extra mile to say that he and co-host Joe Scarborough share the same political idealogy.

“I watch you guys every morning,” Stern said (h/t Mediaite). “I really enjoy the show. Oddly, I agree politically with almost everything Joe says. I don’t think there’s much difference there.”

The radio host thanked MSNBC for providing him with what he loves: 24/7 news. Additionally, Stern offered a shoutout to network host Symone Sanders and stated he’s no fan of Dateline repeats.

“By the way, I want to give a shoutout to MSNBC,” Stern added. “Thank God you don’t play the old Datelines anymore on the weekends. I like news. I watch this channel exclusively for news. I tune out on the weekend. 

“It’s like all news stuff. I’m watching old Datelines. I like when you guys are onI like news 24/7, and now I find I’m getting it. I get Symone on the weekend. Big fan of hers. Symone coming on strong. What can I tell you? I know the whole lineup.”

Charges against John DePetro have been dismissed as the radio host faced a trespassing charge related to an incident over the summer during a Monday court hearing.

DePetro was arrested in mid-August outside a home on Staples Avenue in Warwick.

Police searched the house several months earlier as part of an investigation into the disappearance of Charlotte Lester, who has been missing for six months.

“I respect our justice system and respect law enforcement, specifically the Warwick PD,” DePetro said on Twitter. “The search for Charlotte Lester continues as I resume efforts searching for answers into her disappearance and holding Mark Perkins accountable for his actions against myself and Ladybug.”

The man who lives there, Mark Perkins, was also arrested the following day after he allegedly charged at DePetro with a lawnmower while DePetro was live-streaming. 

Unlike DePetro, who had his charges dismissed, Perkins still faces an assault charge, according to court records.

Champlin Broadcasting Conservative Talk The Eagle 96.9 KQOB Enid/Oklahoma City and 1640 KZLS Enid will look a little different for its listeners as the station has rebranded.

Rather than calling itself The Eagle 96.9, the radio station will now be known as Freedom 96.9 (h/t Radio Insight). KZLS started simulcasting on KQOB at the beginning of this year after the 96.9 signal was leased to Citadel and Cumulus Media for nineteen years. 

The station features a syndicated lineup, including Hugh Hewitt, Brian Kilmeade, Dan Bongino, Mike Gallagher, Joe Pags, and Bill O’Reilly. Furthermore, with the rebrand possibly comes a new addition.

Freedom 96.9 is teasing the addition of Dana Loesch to the lineup as well to enhance the rebrand further as the station begins a new chapter as it provides news/talk to the residents.
