@cobie @lBattleRhino Anyone who doesn't make appearances frequently. So many people have STDs from speaking to every podcast / media publication that contacts them. I think a lot of your most entertaining content came impromptu during / after major events vs scheduled episodes.

The crime supercycle is indeed very real. While it's true the industry has historically been ripe for abuse it has noticeably increased since politicians launched meme coins and numerous court cases were dropped further enabling the behavior. Laundering groups and small OTC [image]
