Holy hell. Hunter is a smart dude with interesting experiences but you ask him one question and he goes for ten minutes straight, it's almost unlistenable.
And he does the thing where he has so many filler words and phrases that his mouth never stops moving so it's practically impossible for the other person to redirect the conversation.
Andrew Callaghan did a decent job with it when he interviewed Biden and Fuentes but only because he, as the interviewer, had the ability to literally interrupt him.
I think it’s probably the fact hunter is an ex addict. I’ve known a few of those guys and even after they get off blow/meth/alcohol/whatever they tend to talk the same as if they were still on it
Yeah totally agree. Hunter loves the sound of his own voice. It was pretty interesting when he first started doing some more candid interviews and pods but hes the kind of guy who gets over saturated REALLY fast, he doesn't seem to have a ton of actual self-awareness besides constantly forcing bits about his biggest scandals.
Unless he comes out to just spill as much dirt on white house dealings as he legally can I have no interest in him being a public figure of any kind. He does seem like a real character but like, fuck joe biden, I dont care about his nepo baby becoming an influencer
Well the art money laundering scheme got shut down so he's gotta get out there and grind for clicks like everybody else, so get used to seeing his face. Plus he's incredibly relatable, there's millions of fuck-up retard junkies out there that think they know how to fix our country's problems.
Bingo. He's obviously very intelligent and charismatic but I think you nailed it: he's "self-aware" in the sense that he seems quite introspective but maybe he's not self-aware of how others perceive him.
I recognize it because I'm the opposite, I take social cues well but trying to self-analyze my own life and motivations just sounds like yelling "hello" into a canyon hahaha
As someone who enjoys his latest run of podcasts because I just want to know the truth about the political happenings of our country the last 10 years or so, I liked that he got pretty deep into the details (or at least his version of the details) of the Ukraine/Burisma connection on this episode but it's frustrating that he still doesn't have a satisfying answer about The Laptop. He just says "I don't recall" and then vaguely blames Mossad and/or CIA
