Check Your Brain

An Exiled Host Returns to Terrestrial Radio

No, not Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur, though he is certainly not on the lookout for a radio gig. But Anthony Cumia of Opie & Anthony fame has returned to regular radio at WABC and then some, as the rapid and rabid response for him garnered a syndication deal. Tony talks about why this is win-win for Cumia, as well as the state of radio in general, which usually shies away from "controversial hosts." Could this be a new beginning of former personalities returning to the airwaves?

 

But before all of that, Tony answered some questions the listeners sent him for another AMA round.

Tony on Z-Man's Public Access Show

Recently, Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur was a guest on his pal Chad Zumock's Public Access Show, where they watch old commercials, talk all things retro, and harken back to both of their radio days. They both did the latter in discussing Anthony Cumia's return to terrestrial radio and his subsequent syndication deal.

 

Admittedly, this is more of a video show without a set timeslot, so follow Chad on X (@ChadZumock) to see when the next Public Access Show is ready for streaming.

Five Years to Flatten the Curve

The week of March 8th, 2020 began with a recommendation to wash your hands and don't touch your face, and it ended with "oh my God, the world is ending." That, of course, was a hysterical reaction, but that reaction continued on for well over two years. In his annual recap of the 2020 insanity, Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur lays out everything from the mandates like wearing masks in swimming pools and filling skateparks with sand to getting tattoos of your vaccine card. He then takes the listener/viewer to today, where there is some accountability directed towards the corrupt bureaucrats and actors who pushed this, though not enough have met the Damocles of justice.

In Defense of Michale Graves

A former Check Your Brain podcast guest and lead singer of the Misfits continues to have his gigs canceled, really, for the "grave" sin of having right-of-center politics.

Tony Mazur talks about how the tentacles of cancel culture remain, as Graves and other comedians continue to have venues pull the plug.

Ad-VANCE-ing to VP

Much has been said about Donald Trump's political comeback, but what about his VP JD Vance?
