Listening to Tiger King commentary

So...don’t necessarily have a problem with the ideas. However, TBH the way like super casual talk gets like a bit annoying. I wanna say the collective IQ is pretty high here, and I really think the ideas are sound. But as much as Tiger King characters make dumb ideas sound legit...the thoughtful commentary here is made to sound pretty juvenile because of the like way it’s discussed. Maybe the target audience is younger than myself. But it was a bit grating to me.
