I guess I didn’t see him as scripted or paid-for until that 4-guest GOP-a-thon, then it was blindingly obvious (and I’m not American, so I don’t even care about your politics).

I liked Joe because he never appeared to have any agenda, usually saw, or at least humoured both sides of an argument, and right or wrong (yes, he was plenty wrong), he was always at least genuine.

Now, he’s just a 3-hour long commercial.

I fucking loved listening to Joe for probably a decade, but I haven’t listened to a single ep since December.

That Trump, Vance, Gabbard, Musk run was a stunning indicator to me that he is now bought and sold, and his pods are scripted, which is a complete 180’ on why I liked him.

He used to be genuine and a centrist. Not anymore.

Imagine the morale there. No one’s going to give a fuck there now, and fair enough.

If my instincts are right, it’s less about him not being invited back, and more about him realising Joe has been bought and sold and him not wanting to go back.

Irrespective, Russia has destroyed its demographics. I hope it never recovers.
