    I feel like somone correct me if I’m wrong, that early on he was decent. He listened and had good long interviews.

    But, somewhere along the way he started to like the smell of his own farts and things when down the crazy hole.

      I share that opinion. The shat began a bit before the spotify deal, but after it was downhill via log ride off shit mountain.

      I listened to him for a while, then found him complaining more and more about the left. That was mostly fine since he complained about conservatives as well and he supported Bernie Sanders, but I got fed up with him because he wouldn’t have liberals on the show to discuss the topics he clearly knew nothing about yet loved to bring up constantly.

      He’s a guy who touts himself on being open, curious, and willing to learn, but what I found was the exact opposite. Any time there was a guest on his show who disagreed with something and the conversation turned into more of a debate, he’d say that having that person on was a mistake. Ultimately I stopped listening when he proved himself to be a blowhard hypocrite.

      His show was a lot of fun the first five years or so and he really did seem like he wanted to consider all sides of things… but that show and person is long gone.

      He was decent, but at some point he started platforming alt right shills and grifters without challenging things they said, but started getting hyper critical on guests that were remotely progressive.

      He seems to have gone more and more off the deep end around Trump and covid to the point he’s a full blown nut job
