    You don’t even need to remember it. He says that he doesn’t know shit all the time. I think he’s more surprised than anyone that he weilds the influence he’s credited with.

      That’s bullshit, he knows exactly what he’s doing and he milks that “I’m just a curious dummy” thing for all it’s worth. It’s his excuse for subtly promoting garbage that he believes in.

        The first time I encountered him, he was promoting a conspiracy theory and doing that “I’m just asking questions!” schtick that conspiracy assholes love to do.

          Some conspiracies are better than others. If we’re talking JFK, lost civilization, or aliens; I want to hear you out because I enjoy thinking about that stuff too.

      Is that true? I remember an episode where this woman who was a doctor in her field called his show to correct him and he absolutely FLIPPED in the most aggressive way, completely unable to comprehend he could be wrong. It was gross. If I had any doubts before that about him being an ego or a misogynist, they were immediately dashed.

      Here’s the link, skip to 5mins 40secs if you don’t want to hear him whining on insufferably and incorrectly: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=__CvmS6uw7E&feature=youtu.be

        I listened and you are right about this clip. It is painful to listen to. It’s not from his podcast. This was an old radio show from before his podcast existed.
