If you are referring to Marty Mush, I like his schtick. To me, his presentation is a welcome transition from the usual "correct" crap we get in interviews. He's a jock, talks jock talk, and has built a $5M net worth according to the inter web.

he's making bank with his pod casts, there must be a lot of people that enjoy his schtick. Maybe it's an generation gap?

I'd guess it is. I had never heard this name/seen this face before I clicked the link. I play video games, so I see a bunch of people not intended for someone who is 50, but I miss out on a lot of other genre(s) same tendencies.

I guess. There's lots of terrible people and terribly annoying people that have high net worth. I wouldn't point to anyone's net worth as a justification for liking them or disliking them.

I mean Stephen A Smith is worth a lot. He's also a miserably annoying meat sack of a host.

Agree. I was not trying to justify a like or dislike driven by bank. Just saying he is liked by many and I'm one of them, based on this podcast. I should look at more for his stuff and get a bigger sample of work.

BTW - I agree with you on Smith...

Well, even if wages are up at other jobs, who are we to question the free market if we can still earn more money on Only Fans?

maybe i’m more sensitive because of this particular subject, but i just found his schtick generally unprofessional and distasteful

Just watched about 5 minutes of it. Totally ignorant, rude and disrespectful. Done with that garbage.

So it isn't just me?
glad i’m not the only one
I'd never seen the guy before, and didn't care for him either. He seems to forget it's not about him.

And, I do the same thing as ramjet in a situation like this, look and see how many followers or subscribers they have, as a possible clue that I might be missing something.

"Hey I can shoot free throws! I can shoot three pointers! Look at my video of me playing rec ball!" - meanwhile he's in Allen freaking Field House talking to a likely All American on the best CBB program of all time.

Even if Allen Field House and our esteemed BB program had to suffer being disrespected, it's not a total loss, because I learned that apparently, people do watch the videos I link.

One never knows.
