Vice co-founder and frequent Fox News guest Gavin McInnes was attempting to praise his son's verbal and intellectual dexterity on "The Gavin McInnes Show" earlier this week, but ended up revealing more about himself than his progeny.

"My son," McInnes began, "says all this awesome shit and wife gets to enjoy him more than I do. He was watching some documentary about those monkeys that are most like us -- they're monogamous and cool and they wear suits and they go to work and they use umbrellas and they play cards."

"They are the most human-acting apes," he explained. "Anyway, my son's watching it, and he's eating popcorn, and he thinks he recognizes one of them from another movie."

"He goes, 'Oh, I like this,'" McInnes said with a lisp, adding that his son has one, so he's simply making fun of him on a nationally syndicated radio program. "'Oh, I like this monkey actress' -- which is what I said when Jada Pinkett Smith did her video about the Oscars."
