Gavin is mad at me for telling people about his āprank.ā I used to have an opener who did this hilarious prank and told me he had brain cancer so I gave him money. When a woman fakes a rape is that a hilarious prank to not spill the beans on? When I urged my listeners to donate to Gavinās lawsuit against the SPLC was that a funny prank too? Vox was blogging about it, everyone was scared and supporting him and I knew it was fake. And that he was never going to come clean. Iām sure now heās going to try one of his psychopathic pranks against me so Iām setting the record here. Iām a professional comedian and I have no idea how someone can claim that pretending to be raided by the fbi and never coming clean is ācomedy.ā I didnāt even say his name directly when I streamed about it and said I still find him funny. But if he wants to do the ominous and slightly threatening āwe are doneā bullshit, before he can do his little pranks, this is what actually happened. I was getting hit up because the government was arresting commentators like Gavin and me, Vox was blogging about it, everyone was scared. I asked him, he told me he was running a little scam and not to say anything and he was never coming clean. Well, I canāt stand this shit. I went to the right wing politically because I thought the left were grifting immoral liars. Boy was I mistaken. His response should have been āI guess u didnāt get the jokeā after I spilled his beans. Or āway to ruin the joke.ā But itās pretty obvious this was never a joke it was an attention grift at the expense of his listeners and American institutions. I donāt regret telling my listeners at all. And donāt pretend that I betrayed Gavin and Iām trying to sabotage āthe rightā or some shit. Iām actually an honest dude who wonāt sit there and let people go along with a scam when I know the truth about it. And trust me, this isnāt a āprank.ā Ruining a āprankā doesnāt get people saying āwe are done.ā And no I donāt āburn every bridge,ā and āGavin loves you whatās wrong with you?!ā Iām not a political, power, or money oriented person. Donāt try and include me in ur fucking scams or Iām telling people.
