His a wrestler that became a podcaster. At the time his podcasts gained popularity because he was able to get very high echelon guests and he would have a very simple conversation with them. It was new at the time.

As time goes on things got muddy. He’s a bit of a doofis who likes to say things without thinking, and some people claim that he is irresponsible with what he says because he has a large platform . Two people having a poorly thought out natural conversation becomes something different when it’s being broadcast to millions of people.

I’m the US he has become associated with the “right wing”. He has a bit of a cult of personality following him. People lable his fans as “dude-bros” who think they’re smart, but aren’t.

Personally I think that just like Howard Stern’s interviews, they shouldn’t be taken as informational, but can be entertaining. He does have a lot of interesting guests. I treat podcasts like these like I’m going to the zoo. The animals are interesting, but that’s about it.
