Stav’s standup is good. No idea why the podcast was the way it was. I’ve heard people say the podcast was unfunny on purpose, but that will never convince me it was good. I just don’t get it.

Nick's self destructive/self sabotage tendencies.

I think they did have some incredibly funny bits. Liberal elmo (CW racism) and the CIA recruitment ad (CW CSA discussion) are just pure gold and did not punch down at all. The same obviously can't be said for the vast majority of the podcast, since most of the time they were making insensitive and inflammatory jokes just with the purpose of being on the edge of what could be acceptable. That caused a lot of harm and it still affects the culture of the online left in a negative way. Was it worth it? Probably not. Did Nick Mullen go on Fox Red Eye and bully John Bolton (CW: Fox, racism, Nick Mullen, misogyny)? Yeah, he did do that. I don't have anything else to say.
