In 2006, when Howard Stern moved from terrestrial radio to paid satellite radio, ClearChannel hired Penn Jillette to sort of take Howard's place (on the west coast).

On the very first episode, Penn was taking calls about a controversial subject and someone pointed out a fact that directly contradicted his stated position on the issue.

There was an awkward pause, and Penn said "Ok, that had not occurred to me, and I was wrong," and then proceeded to state his new (accurate) position.

As a longtime talk radio listener I was flabbergasted.

Can't deal with firefish.social uptime/performance issues anymore, so I'm moving to @nyquildotorg. However, firefish.social is just too overloaded for the migration process, so I'm trying to bootstrap from a previous export for now.

Like Ozzy said, "I'll see you on the other side."
