I can't do it anymore. he swears like he's trying to get a certain amount of cuss words out per minute and they don't fit like someone smashing their thumb they are so forced in his language. also over the last year his opinions have become quite ignorant like complaining about how somebody said something as the argument against what they said. it's the way extremists seems to talk and it seems like Adam has really fallen off the edge

definitely can't listen to this with the kids which is a shame because there's a lot of good information that kids could use but Adam swears more than just a lot and it's not like saying the f word when you hit your thumb which I'm totally okay with it's almost like it's forced like he's trying to squeeze in a certain amount of it in every episode but it's outside of his wheelhouse. Or at least that's what it sounds like
