Thanks! I was looking for that clip when I made my response, but could only find the longer 5 and 6 minute versions. I got distracted and when I came back I was able to find this one. A real classic!
he was a great stepping stone in to reality but i havent been able to listen to him for years now. it seemed like he went from genuinely ignorant of the truth and willing to talk about anything, to knowingly avoiding topics that would affect his income. ill only listen to episodes with guests that are exceptionally interesting but even then there is an overwhelming sense of being controlled. he doesnt talk about things until they are 'safe' now.
I can’t say I blame him. When influencers have so many people listening, they have to be more careful of the things they say bc there are consequences not just to him but to his followers. He’s not stupid but he’s been playing extra stupid since he went to Spotify. He even called Tim D the conspiracy guy. I’m like dude. You’re the OG conspiracy guy. All your old podcasts were all about conspiracies.
I Am Batman
...that was wonderful...

^Totally agree.^
Similar trajectory to Howard Stern when he went to satellite.
now he's got 100 million clams from spotify.
I think he still has a role to play, but he's not stupid, patience is a virtue.
Kanye made big waves. Everyone noticed.
Timing is everything.
