I don’t mind a good takedown video but I’m not big on alcoholism as the punchline. “I drink because I’m so angry about this” just doesn’t resonate with me
But in his defense, his fans LOVE that presentation style and he’s catering to them.
I also had no idea he was in the Behind The Bastards crew! I wanted to check it out but I only drive for like 20 minutes twice a week (and that was my podcast time)
Robert has the same substance abuse jokes, which are the ones in particular that annoy me also, but it’s generally just at the ad breaks when I hit skip anyway. They were together at Cracked, and many of his guests are former Cracked employees. I gave up on Cody’s show with that Wormbo puppet thing becoming a regular feature. That on top of the downer mood was too much for me.
The actual Behind that Bastards show is my favorite of the group’s work, but if you’re interested in their product but also interested in social activism and learning about political movements, unions, immigration, and civil rights, perhaps give their It Could Happen Here a listen. I listen to it in the big weekly compilation, but it’s a series of 20-30 minute stories, each hosted by a different person on the team.

That last suggestion seems very up my alley, thanks!
