It's the only way it makes sense in my head but it's very much none of our fucking business so KATG not disclosing/confirming/denying is the professional way of handling this.

He never paid to call in.

You have a great point, John. Chemda took all the ass grabs in stride and then one day she just snaps? Ridiculous.

John, I'm really trying to explain this to you: you're an idiot. It is what you are. You won't understand this, and if you look back at your old posts you'll see you were always late to the party.

Don't worry about it. Rest.

John,

For the record, this can happen to anyone. I WILL snap on you. And when that happens, I might insult your work too. Even IF it has nothing to do with why I'm mad. I might even insult your mother though I never met her.

And let me explain...

YOU don't get to say how *I* respond to your sexual harassment and otherwise bullshit behavior.

Stop asking me about the timing of my anger and recognize that what I did was no match for what he did.

He crossed my line. Maybe my line should have been crossed earlier. He's welcome and so is everyone else.

I am a very patient person. Stop blaming me for that.

I registered just to say that I completely agree with Chemda. And the less women tolerate this bullshit harassment, and the bullshit excuses from everyone over it, the sooner this attitude of accepting and expecting sexual harassment will go the way of the dinosaur.

John,

If her explanation didn't make sense to you, then you're a dummy.

If it took that to explain things to you, then you're an imbecile.

I don't remember if this was explained, but how was someone who's so opposed to joke stealing "ok" with someone who has built a career on using old jokes from other people? And I don't mean writers he himself paid to write him shitty jokes, he's absolutely told many jokes I know he had no part in making.

Just finished ep. Jackies a creep. Good for Chemda calling him out. Fans need to know when someone's this out of line.

Kliph's book sounds great. Lotta douchebaggery in the comedy world. Sounds like a good read.

I never once thought he wrote those jokes.

Exactly, my question is why is what he does so "ok" that his call-in's became a semi regular thing on the show for the past few months. And while it's not outright "joke thievery" it is some weird variation on it. So why give him a platform on your show when we then find out you guys don't even like the creep on a personal level. Maybe I'm underestimating the average age of a KATG listener but I can't imagine "Jackie the Jokeman" is much of a draw for anyone in 2015 to make putting up with him "worth it".
