Customer Reviews
Mike's patience is incredible
I enjoyed several episodes but the recent 'Red Pill' episode put me off. Gigi's contribution is cringe-worthy; she comes off as a relentless ideologue with a giant chip on her shoulder, becoming increasingly hostile and irrational as Mike fails to toe the line.
Your review of The Red Pill
Karen Straughan critques your review of The Red Pill on YouTube. I suggest you watch/listen to it and learn more about yourselves.
Cringeworthy
To be fair, I only listened to two episodes. But the dynamic between the hosts caused me such physical discomfort that I couldn't listen to any more.
