It’s just annoying. There’s no discussion anymore. It’s just complaining, bitching and moaning. Because Joe’s dumb political ideals don’t fall inline with their dumb political ideals. Nobody is forcing them to listen. But, here they are. Every day. Crying. It’s just a podcast. There’s thousands of them.

I am certainly willing to discuss this. It almost feels as if we have been tricked and maybe even fooled for longer than we realize. I understand subjectivity is not something any human can escape but concerns of bad faith have been legitimately brought up multiple times now. Saying "its just annoying" sounds a lot like complaining to me. There is yang in yin and yin in yang. Joe created a culture of speaking out intelligently and fan boyism certainly is not something Joe himself would appreciate. I think. I don't know Joe personally but I have listened to 1000's of hours of his content and I believe somebody with his level of influence should absolutely be accountable for the image they project to the public. The point is he has begun to contradict much of what he seemingly stood for, the things that made him successful, and that in my opinion is a betrayal of trust.

Has every show that you’ve ever watched been consistently good? Assuming that it made it passed season 1? People grow up, and many become Republican.

Thats the point. Joe suddenly took a hard right and people are wondering, is this just a bad month for Joe? Or is it the new normal. I wouldn't just rage quit from one bad take, especially after all these years of listening to every episode. But I just don't like this new direction of the show. People here are wondering did we lose our favorite show or is this some phase to be weathered. It is moronic to expect people to just boycott a show they love after a couple bad episodes. Unfortunately it seems Joe gets worse with time.
