It seems as though he's pushing a political agenda nowadays, and I find that though he has some excellent guests, they never get into topics I'd like to hear. His podcasts tend to go on tangents in which he has more interest in "Hey Jamie go find that moose video!", meanwhile I'd like to hear the guest speak. It becomes a little redundant, I get his has a lot of podcasts so it's tough, but he needs to sometimes pipe down and let the guest steer the conversation.

I also find his guests tend to shy away or fear with disagreeing with him as well, either due to optics, or his mountain of vehement fans that will tear them apart online if not seeing eye to eye with him.
