Some of the most insufferable personalities in podcasting, unsubbed after Eric started casually dropping the r-slur.
From promoting authoritarian states in unmarked ads, to mocking the homeless as not real people, to blaming Joe Biden for the EU existing (?!?) and now finally to Ai not succeeding in gaming not because it doesn’t work but because of “left wing artists”.
