Apple Podcasts5Guitarplayer >4yrs
United States2 years ago - Mikey is good but Dave is the worst speaker
Really bad speaker only good when he’s talking abt how everyone but he and his crew are idiots, “time-energy” ain’t nearly as innovative as he thinks is basically a worse less insightful way of saying “alienation”. ik as society we overuse the term “narcissist” but Dave is 1000% what ppl have in mind when they use it. Also h*idegger is a self-confirmed n*zi deal wit 😌 but Mikey is very good and actually worth listening and learning from so don’t sleep on him
Ps: anne, dump him

Just stumbled upon the show and the content seems super interesting (listening to introduction to Lacan). The host typing and clicking while guest is speaking really messes up the experience. It’s as if he’s not listening. Just stay put and stop clicking for a second!
