  • Used to be decent

    This show used to be pretty decent and a good informative podcast. He tends to name drop ramble about the same things over and over with humble brags about how he got a porn award and the time he raped a cat. Anymore, he seems to be pretty abrasive and generally ill tempered.

  • Shame

    What happened to this guy? His book was interesting. I mean the idea was, the writing was atrocious, don't know if anyone actually read the whole thing. Seems like he's lost the plot. He's not being invited to any relevant podcasts anymore and no one with any profile is coming on his. These days he's reposting old interviews and posting snippets of new episodes begging people for money. I think throwing 50 bucks in a fountain is better value for money.

    Joe used to be nice & kind guy. Have you listened to him lately? His whole demeanor has changed since supporting Trump. Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are.

    And it’s getting tiring & frankly disgusting, men talking about men that have a women 25 or more years younger than them. It’s gross guys. And y’all know it.

Q: What specifically are you recovering from?
