    I’ve always believed that the series finale will be about Robert, and that’s when he’ll reveal that he’s a high functioning psychopath and ubercapitalist who got in on the left wing grift because he thought grifting conservative morons was too easy

      Stopped listening after a guest said something along the lines of “Well, I guess we’ve learned there’s really no such thing as a good South African” and he laughed and said “Right” or something to that effect.

      He can take his high horse and fuck it as far as I’m concerned.

        You know that it’s a pop history podcast with a focus on funny takes, right? Like, when he “criticizes” some horrible dictator for not getting a higher body count, that’s a joke. Many of his guests are comedians, so if (say) Billy Wayne Davis, or (say) Gareth Reynolds said something like what you refer to, and Evans said “right” and they both laughed, it’s because they’re enjoying a joke.

        You should probably know that Blue Apron doesn’t have a child hunting island in Indonesia, and Robert Evans doesn’t actually want to nuke the Great Lakes as revenge for the Edmund Fitzgerald.

          I was in agreement until you mentioned his grudge with the great lakes. That shit is real, and personally, I agree with him.

            Oh, I meant his grudge isn’t about the Edmund Fitzgerald, not that the grudge doesn’t exist.

        do you not know about the history of the nation of South Africa? Or not know that it is a nation at all?
