I was asking this (and also why he insists on wearing tank tops) and was told he's essentially Stephen A. for the types of people who inherently don't like Stephen A.

Re: Cultural Blind Spots
It's a little heavy on the schtick, but he doesn't really bother me all that much and he's often on the "right side" of many issues.

Re: Cultural Blind Spots
I really don't agree with this assessment. I'd say the vibe of the show is more Barstool meets Dan Patrick, with all the "bro" stuff of the former, but not just spitting out nonsense and controversial takes for the sake of the exercise (Steven A.). He's not as cerebral as Patrick or Rich Eisen, but he's a pretty OK interviewer and like I said, I think he typically has a solid, down to earth perspective.mister d wrote: Fri Sep 22, 2023 9:23 am I was asking this (and also why he insists on wearing tank tops) and was told he's essentially Stephen A. for the types of people who inherently don't like Stephen A.
He's also very willing to be self-deprecating... His stories from the Colts are pretty hilarious.

Re: Cultural Blind Spots
I absolutely do not fucking get Jelly Roll at all.
Even shit that I know is not for me like Megan Thee Stallion
et al I can at least understand the appeal but I don’t see an ounce (no pun intended) of talent in this dude.
What am I missing?

Re: Cultural Blind Spots
I think he's just the latest country music singer with some mainstream crossover appeal? Not sure why either, but he seems like a decent dude.
Plus he testified in front of Congress about the fentanyl crisis.

Funnier if you thought Brian was ranting about Jelly Roll Morton at first.

I don’t have any beef with him I just don’t get the appeal.Johnnie wrote: Sat Oct 12, 2024 8:40 pm I think he's just the latest country music singer with some mainstream crossover appeal? Not sure why either, but he seems like a decent dude.

My beef with Jelly Roll is that he co-opted Jelly Roll Morton’s name.P.D.X. wrote: Sat Oct 12, 2024 9:14 pm Funnier if you thought Brian was ranting about Jelly Roll Morton at first.

not terribly sure what Roblox is but can confirm that I no longer imagine it to be a Lego knockoff

Re: Cultural Blind Spots
All I know about Roblox is what I'm reading lately, that it's a great place for child molesters to talk to children online.
