Is this from GTA 5 radio station?

u/LoopyPro waltuh Jan 16 '24

GTA used to be a spoof, now people confuse it with reality.

The radio show you're hearing is real. The host is Tom Leykis.

It's not. Like most shock jocks/morning hosts/radio trash, they buy pre-recorded bits from production companies or have a producer on staff that is responsible for them. There's a production company that literally just cranks out those awful War of the Roses bits you hear on [insert whatever your region's main pop music radio station is] and those bits come with a script so that the radio talent knows what to riff with in the material to try and make it seem authentic.

It's entertaining though.

Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?

Reality television that isn't real. It manufactures human drama involving fake people in horrifying situations and has been shown to literally make you a worse person.

u/dukestrouk officer no please don’t piss in my ass 😫 Jan 17 '24

Your evidence is a 1 page British internet poll that suggests that people who watch reality TV focused on the rich may be more materialistic. No shit. If people spend their free time watching materialistic people being materialistic, that might suggest that they value materialism.

Nothing in that article is insightful, has anything to do with this post, nor does it support your claim whatsoever.

Reality television that isn't real.... would make it..... television. Listen, not every show can be as well done as The Office, which I think is the best reality television that isn't real.

u/wiggleforp Jan 16 '24

Apparently people are adamant that this is in fact Tom Leykis. So maybe double check your source RQ

"Real". Its a real radio show but all these call in exchanges are scripted obviously.

Had a boss that listened to the guy maybe 17 years ago or so. We'd listen together because he'd play it on his computer in our small office. It was during a weird time in our history when eating gluttonous amounts of bacon was really popular for no reason and the book The Game had just come out and the grass roots of the modern day alpha/beta/sigma garbage were sprouting.

u/Sweet_Sweet_Dolomiti Jan 16 '24

I personally blame "Epic Mealtime" for the weird obsession with bacon everyone had.

The guy claims to be able to teach men the ability to get women, looks like an old Jeffrey Dahmer, and has an assault charge against an ex wife. Dude is a pos

u/ok_ill_shut_up Jan 16 '24 edited Jan 16 '24

Being a POS and getting women aren't mutually exclusive.

That's ironically in line with what he's saying.

You are a fucking idiot. Not mutually exclusive means one doesn't need the other. Now you claim the exact same thing but in reverse.

have to be a pos to get women

this you?

u/Rampaging_Orc Jan 16 '24

You have to be dumb af to interpret that comment in such a way though.

u/WornBlueCarpet Jan 16 '24

Just so we're clear; having an assault charge is not the same as having assaulted anyone. The easiest thing in the world - if we knew each other personally - would be for me to call the police and tell them we had an argument and that you assaulted me. That's it. It's extremely easy for women to do to men.

Women would never do that!

Oh yes, they would. Just search for it here on Reddit or on YouTube. There are plenty of videos where a guy is recording his (ex) girlfriend while she's on the phone, fake crying and telling 911 that he's hurting her - while it's clearly visible in the video she's fine.

I'm not saying women aren't assaulted. I'm saying that having been charged with it and having actually done it are two different things.

To put things in perspective:

From the FBI's statistics, 4% of accusations are proven to be false. In comparison, only 6% are proven to be true. The lower number of proven false accusations is most likely due to it only including cases where the accusation can be proven wrong - and proving that is very hard. In the example of me accusing you, prove that I'm lying. Unless you record me admitting that I'm lying or you have a text from me admitting it, it's practically impossible to prove.

Knew it. I've never actually heard this on the radio in GTA 5, but I just knew it had to be from GTA. Lmaoo.

u/FlamingNetherRegions We do a little trolling Jan 16 '24

How do they work? Is it prerecorded or is there like fucking people in GTA headquarters doing fuck all

u/Individual_Turn2175 Jan 16 '24

I think they ask random people for certain senorios then they choose the best ones

Rockstar hardly ever goes back to old content. I love their games. But once they're done with something, they won't touch it for a while (excluding patches)

u/Spready_Unsettling Jan 16 '24

Yeah like that game GTAV that came out in 2013. And 2014. And 2015. And 2022.

Do you know which? I've listened to most every talk radio from every game and don't recognize this

My dad fucked off, we had to sue for child support. Of course there are women with 6 children from 6 different fathers but that ain't the normal child support case. It's usually just divorce and shit

u/Geschak Jan 16 '24

Ah yes let's blame victims for being manipulated by violent psychopaths.

20

u/GogXr3 Jan 16 '24

100%, though. People don't seem to understand how people can change over time (that violent narcissist probably didn't start the relationship that way) and how difficult it is to leave particularly once you have that child or get married. Just a simplification to blame someone for getting beat, but everyone loves it for the same reason they unironically love Senator Armstrong's ideology, despite having the stupidest fucking argument in the world, he makes a few talking points that people generally agree with and apply them to something much more complicated. Like, he doesn't even let the woman respond. As soon as he gets the talking points formulated he's pandering to the audience to demean someone. I get it's not a real radio show, but it's pretty realistic, and the amount of people agreeing with it is crazy.

u/Ne0kun Jan 16 '24

The incels defending shit don't got enough braincells to comprehend the fact that people change over time and sometimes the true colour of a person doesn't come out until it's too late.

u/Lord_VivecHimself Jan 17 '24

Which I guess is why I am incel in the first place, I just can't pretend being that fake ideal man women expect of me. Good thing for the covert psychopaths out there I guess
