People do dumb things.
In the late 1990s, a radio jock named Doug Tracht, more popularly known as The Greaseman, made a horrible on-air joke about a Black singer, and didn’t even bother using the time delay to censor his own joke. He subsequently became persona non grata in the radio world, although I did hear him on an obscure Saturday morning show in 2008.
I don’t question the frailty of human character. It is the 13 seconds that I wonder about.
