Attacking Jussie: The Osundairo Brothers Story

The host and producer balance the conversation. The podcast is well structured and edited. They do an excellent job of giving a clear timeline and providing the political context around the events. The issue is the brothers are painfully unlikeable. They are self centered and egotistical in a way that makes you want it all to stop. It’s a worthwhile listen because of the insanity of this story but prepare yourself to be annoyed.

I was really interested in the story of Jussie and how and why he faked his attack - but this focused more on the brothers than I would have liked. I get this is supposed to be their story but I feel like a lot of their ramblings and opinions on how they are perfect humans could have been cut. Interesting premise, but the raging narcissism and arrogance of the brothers was too much for me to fully enjoy this.

I had hoped I would get to learn more about what actually happened and why. What i got was an hour’s worth of content spread over 6 hours of the empty ramblings of 2 arrogant narcissist as the explain that they are amazingly talented and nearly perfect individuals who are not responsible for a single thing they have done. What i did not get was any new or relevant information. I was also disappointed that the broader moral questions like the damage of perpetuating damaging negative stereotypes, the physical cost of investigating the hoax cost and if the perpetrators should be responsible for that cost. The reason I was conflicted about the review was the production value was very good and i wanted to acknowledge that only so much can be done with two subjects like this. In the end I would not recommend anyone waist there time on this season.

I knew jussie was lying from the beginning lol… A great listen for a day of trucking
