I have only listened to the podcast for a year but holy shit i die not expect how much stewert softballs his guests and never argues anymore when they are spewing bullshit. I started getting agitated for example when the old white house press secretary came in saying “everything is fine, no crisis here, it’s really Obama’s fault that trump and musk are dismantling the government, dems need better press” and he just nods along. It’s so strange because I feel like that wasn’t the case 15 years ago or whatever.
The only one he pushed back on recently in my memory was Chris Christie.
I do not have high hopes for this upcoming one. It is going to be like Jake Paul vs mike Tyson, nobody wins and it is just for show.
You know, I was thinking the exact same thing when seeing this headline. I’d be interested in the conversation, but he’d probably just softball everything.
