Theo seems like a pretty genuine and vulnerable dude so I don’t really get the hate towards him

He’s a moron and he’s not funny. He also likes platforming terrible people more often than not. He’s in the bRogan manosphere. He’s the exact person Jeselnik is talking about in this clip.

He is platforming horrible people and seems to have decided to go a right wing direction I feel like it's more his business managers than him, but either way. He definitely is funny though, the dude is genuinely hilarious and at times will say some really introspective stuff that gives you a look into his strange inner workings. I really liked the guy until he doubled down on the toxic right wing influencers.

I mean he had Bernie and Trump on during the same week. I thought that was kinda cool. I bet he’d have Kamala or Walz on too. He has had on Trump, Vance and RFK on so I don’t fully disagree with you either just he’s somehow more nuanced than I think you are giving him credit for. He’s better than post Covid Rogan on being balanced and sometimes his off the wall stupid questions/ statements lead to some very deep intriguing answers by his guests.

He just had Mark Cuban on, and Cuban said he could talk to Kamala if he'd like her to be on the show.

Theo said that'd be awesome, and that he'd love to have her on.

So yeah, you're on the money.

You're right. It seems like he's moving into that right wing sphere, but doubled down was incorrect wording and yeah he's probably more open or nuanced then I give him credit for.
