Some people seem to think if you're not agreeing with him 100% you can't listen, the podcast is sh and blindboy is a charlatan. As for mental health issues, he always says everyone is different and different shworks for everyone. Yee caaauuunnnts

You don't expect him to provide entertainment for free do you? Of course he cares about his bank account -- why shouldn't he? His podcast has been number 1 in the podcast charts for 16 weeks so obviously there are plenty of people who do like to listen to him 'waffling'.

Baking it into layers of hotness with a molten center. To be eaten with a pinch of salt and a drop of tea in a mug of fragile masculinity." Humble brags like this appear egotistical to me. Maybe not to you.

Like Russell Brand in a way, the 'shabby' hair of his has been preened and pruned to within a inch of it's life by a hair stylist. Two spoofers. In fairness to them fair play. People are stupid enough to fall for it, so take the money and run. :pac:

There isn't an entertainer in history who has been universally lauded, there will always be detractors. Look at Mrs Browns Boys, I find it to be awful drivel but you can't argue that Brendan O'Carroll has done very well out of it and a lot of people find it very entertaining. Different strokes for different folks.

Danjamin1 wrote: » Wasn’t on about that, I was talking about the fact that some people just don’t like him and that’s fine. You’ll notice the part of the quote I highlighted refers to people being taken for fools by his shtick but if people find him entertaining then I don’t see what the problem is. Still don’t see any harm with him talking about mental health, he’s not exactly trying to pass himself off as an expert, he’s just relaying his own experience with it. If people are so fickle they can’t listen to him just because he wears a bag on his head to conceal his identity then I’d say that’s their problem.
