During Friday’s episode of The Paul Allen Show on Twin Cities radio station KFAN, Allen, Chad Greenway, and Alec Lewis opened the show discussing the intense cold weather in the region. One person mentioned the recent story about a Los Angeles Rams player putting cayenne in his socks to stay warm, and Allen mentioned the urban legend about trees “exploding” from cold weather.

Umprompted, Allen then interjected by asking, “In conditions like this, do paid protesters get hazard pay? Those are the things that I’ve been thinking about this morning.”

A few minutes later, the conversation switched to football, and Allen once again worked a paid-protester reference into a discussion about NFL coaching hires.

“Everybody’s catching strays this week. [Brian] Flores, Kevin Stefanski from Baker [Mayfield], Charlie ‘Biyatch’ caught one out of nowhere. They’re just all over, paid protesters caught one this morning,” he said, referencing his earlier comments.

      shit has been going on alot longer than 4-5 years, you were just more isolated from their stupidity because they were less emboldened.

      people have a way of taking off their masks when republicans come to power, personally i prefer this to the faux-civility of establishment democrats.

      there is documented neurological damage associated with COVID-19. additionally, not engaging with social activities reduces brain function. plus we have 23 years of teaching to tests instead of teaching to teach. we are in a perfect storm of bullshit to enable disconnected misanthropes to take over
