- Stop the “man” !
Dear Greg, I like your podcast but for the love of God, Please stop addressing your male guests with “man.” As in, “Hey, man, thanks for coming on,” etc. It’s so very annoying and juvenile. It’s as though your male guests’ opinions are more worthy of approbation than those of your female guests. You don’t address your female guests in such a chummy, “hey bro” way. Not that you should! Thank you.
