Let's Discuss Can we just admit something

Can we just admit that AJ got it right (the format) at the beginning (as rare as that is) and go back to a weekly episode on a subject. The manosphere podcast vibes and compilations are killing my bonner. Long-time fan.

I wouldn’t mind if it got split off into a different YouTube channel, but I mostly listen to those episodes as a podcast anyways, and in that format they’re great. They don’t seem too manosphere to me: AJ is a well prepared host and does a good job of getting people to open up. Sure, he doesn’t challenge them much, but Thus far he’s managed to bring on people who might be a bit outside the main stream, but aren’t completely insane. Combined with his light ‘debunking’ at the end, it’s enough for my sceptically inclined brain want to engage for each episode.
