There was a point where he was plastered all over the television and then it simply stopped out of nowhere. I can only assume that was when he decided to think for himself.

They had him as a TV presenter and then he did a bit of acting in Hollywood but he never really had success as a comedian.

Being a comedian requires a level of creativity and hard work which being a witty host doesn't.

Yeah - I've always seen him as a professional bullshitter, not unlike Trump. It's surprising that there are millions of people who want to listen to his bollocks.

If you sit and listen to most of the content, he follows the same podcast model as many other successful YouTubers like Joe Rogan and Tim Pool. He asks a lot of questions and talks a bit about the impact of those questions on his philosophical equilibrium but ultimately doesn't share a valid opinion one way or another. Unlike Trump who has an opinion on everything. A bit like you.
