This guy hates women and minorities and doesn’t even try to hide it. He makes it well known that you don’t have to listen if you don’t like it. Just tell the story, dude. Talk to a therapist about who hurt you in your past, not us.
The host makes consistently gross comments about women trying to play the victim. Googled him, turns out he’s made a ton of misogynistic comments before and asked female fans for nudes. He said their subscribers have been leaving, kinda not surprised.
This could be a really great podcast… the audio is fantastic, however, after listening to 2 and 1/2 episodes I heard, from the host, his misogynist opinions about “female privilege”, along with victim shaming and homophobia. I absolutely could not stomach it and I tried because the rest is great. It’s unbelievable…
This episode was profound, some of your finest work. You are still a dick though, but you make me laugh. So Merry Christmas and a happy new year x
Hi all, I used to really like the show, but Mike the host has expressed some trans phobic views, and he has also said some things that make me believe that he is homophobic and racist.
