  • Ok

    I love Michael in little clips, but can’t listen to interviews because he says “yup, yup, yup” or makes little grunts the whole time his guest is talking. Just listen quietly. Michael is still one of my favorites on friendly fire, and I listen to all of those unless Ben Domenech is on, he interrupts everyone and talks for way too long.

  • Nah bro

    This guy routinely gets steamrolled in debates and he remains arrogant, annoying and entitled. Kind of has the head of a puppet, too.
