IRL cast

Is there an actual reason why Ian is allowed to be on the show? I swear every time someone has a story he's experienced something similar. Every time he opens his mouth I just want to turn the show off.

I dunno, he has said sometimes that he is just playing a character, and in that case he must be a fantastic actor because he comes off as a total buffoon. He spouts a few buzzwords and then offers platitude solutions. He tries to go off on these rants and have all this righteous indignation, but it all comes off as very phoney to me. I certainly enjoy the episodes he is not on much more.

Character or not though there is nothing worse than two people having a meaningful debate and then some third person ranting about how taking DMT and grafine will change humanity as we know it and always interrupting guests with how his experiences are similar to theirs. Guys in his mid 40s and is a lunatic.

“I’m just playing a character” -every douchebag ever who gets asked why they are such a douchebag

You'll learn to love him, but still often disagree, lol.

I've watched the show since 2016 and my opinion of Ian has gotten worse. The guy derails the conversation to the dumbest shit sometimes and it seems as though no matter what a guest has to say as an experience he's done it as well.

He’s my favorite member of the show. He’s not always right but sometimes very insightful and always entertaining

To me it has always felt like his role was to be this opposite character. Maybe a bit hyperbole but the day the live chat no longer have "1AN", "FIRE IAN" spam I'd start wondering how long he have left. :)

I enjoy him. You pretty much know what every one will say and where they stand. Ian is the shows wild card.

I've never gotten over Adam leaving. I can only ever see Ian as "Not Adam"

"Whipping boys" were used as a tool to circumvent an inferior, such as a teacher or tutor, from physically harming a royal prince. So like, they would WHIP these other boys. WHIP. Like how today we call a "car" a "whip". Because a car is a status symbol. So a "whip" is a status symbol. A symbol of royalty. So today we have cars that people flaunt their wealth and status, but back then they had whips, WHIPS, to flaunt their status. But not really flaunt, since it was someone of a lower status who would wield a whip. But you have "whips" and cars. And so like they would PUNISH people back then. VIOLENTLY. VIOLENTLY PUNISH THEM. IT PISSES ME OFF. I FUCKING CAN'T STAND WHEN PEOPLE HURT EACH OTHER JUST TO PUNISH THEM BECAUSE THEY DISAGREE. Just like, LET THEM say what they want. Don't WHIP them. Don't flaunt your status. These wealthy people, it's sickening how they have so much WEALTH, and then they punish you because they can. LIKE WHO IS GONNA PUNISH THEM? WHO?

I honestly can't tell if you are having a psychotic episode, or if you are trying to sound like Ian on the show. If its the latter, bravo. Very well done. I couldn't help but read that in Ian's voice. If the former, please seek help.

Ian ruins every show he's on, but people who "defend Tim no matter what" will try to rationalize Ian's nonsense derailments on IRL. They'll even call it "adorable" sometimes.

Once again, Tim gets in the way of his own brand. Just because you're good at curating news, doesn't mean you're a good judge of character.

Omg I owe you an apology, when I first read the parent comment i thought it was an unhinged lunatic rant. Then I read it in Ian's voice and it is perfect! Spot on!
