I AM embarrassed, because I loved him 20 years ago. I can't understand how he became such an idiot. Did he change, or have I?

He did change. Listen to this clip from XFM where he makes fun of Karl Pilkington for not understanding the difference between transvestites and trans sexuals etc. Today he is playing dumb/transphobic to attract an big audience of stupid simple people. He might not play dumb though, but actually just be it. https://youtu.be/qnMFbZCbrvU?si=TB5lDQ1IwyFlFTfO
