Life Advice

Life Advice 5 stars
Rest of podcast - ehhhhhh kinda depends on guest. Never hurts to skip to the best part though

APPLES2APPLES2APPLES ,

Ryen, you need to become a full time bro sociologist.

Been listening to you and SVP, you and Kanell, you and Bill, but overall mostly YOU for 10+ years. My favorite (because it’s the most personal) episode series so far. Do it again (if you’re willing to sacrifice the privacy of another vacation).

Not Tom Selleck ,

Awful interviews

Ryen is a legendarily terrible interviewer. When interviewing a guest, rather than giving his thoughts and leading to a question, he chooses to ask a question and then immediately begin answering it himself, usually leading to a long rambling monologue that gets more and more rapidly paced.
He forces his guest to listen to his long rambling answer to his own question and it’s a horrible technique. People that have conversations like that are really difficult to converse with. It’s a terribly narcissistic quality.
