  • AI ruined this show

    the way it became sooo formulaic, i get angry when i listen to this podcast now. every cheap metaphor makes me want to hurl my phone at the wall. five, six hour episodes released every day? yeah, they are abject garbage. Glad you found a way to cash out guy, but you turned what was once sincerely helpful and enjoyable into hot sludgy slop that smells post-taco bell. I am so mad at you for selling out. Making the world a more soulless place one sellout at a time. F this podcast.
