Dylan on the Radio

I heard about this before, but only now just found the MP3, of Dylan Avery on the John Ziegler Show. It gets rather amusing. We learn, among other things that Dylan had to stay past his 4th year in high school because he flunked economics. He then claims he got an over 1300 SAT. Yeah, right.

It starts at the 18 minute mark.

In the new version it is down to less than $1 billion. I guess they got tired of people doing their own research....

Hey, I got over 1300. Of course I finished high school on time.

1280, but.... I've never made a documentary so chock full 'o facts that it collapses at free fall under the weight of its own truthiness.

Oh wait.... heh....

Neither did Dylan.

Well, in Dylan's defense, I had to take economics twice... Although I am not sure if once as an undergrad, and once in grad school really counts in this context.

Up north, we do not have to take those SATs :)

I am assuming 1300 is considered "Good".

Regardless, it doesn't surprise me. I would be interested to see the academic record of their "Amazing Researcher" Bermas.

DT, depends on when you took it; there are a lot more higher scores today after the "renorming" of the late 1990s.

BTW, remember that Dylan was rejected twice by Purchase College's film school. Must be a pretty selective program if he couldn't get in with a 1300 SAT

Uh huh. And the gap in the Watergate tapes is 18 minutes long. Go ahead, tell me that's a complete coincidence.

Dylan is in on the plot.

shame most places have to go through 4 years of highschool...where I live, only G10 to G12 (or levels I, II, and III as they are called).

I hate saying this, but (and I'm not familiar with the host of the show) even I felt uncomfortable for Avery and Bermas.

He obviously appears to be a conservative, and as a fellow conservative, he kinda' put me off.

I will say though that it's nice to see that there are people out there who have even less patience for these ridiculous ideas than I do.

It just seemed like a hit piece on the part of the host however. Deserved, maybe. But a hit piece nonetheless.

Dylan is not conservative. He stated on the Little Green Footballs blog, way before he became a wannabe-big-shot, that Chomsky is his hero.

I remember reading he was the resident troll before Loose Change hit it big.

I was referring to the radio host, not Dylan. I know Avery's not conservative.

If he'd gotten into Purchase its unlikely he'd have ever made Loose Change because they'd have had him doing required courses work for the first 2 years.

That makes no sense, we had a film major at my college (most of my friends were film majors) and they made their own films all the time.
