You certainly didn’t mean to, but you’ve now piqued my interest in listening to this episode and I might actually go ahead and make up my own opinion
I wonder if Ari realizes his career as an athlete is never really go anywhere and he is planting the seeds for some sort of podcast host/influencer type? Not sure how sustainable the whole talking shit about his colleagues business model really is…it definitely rubs many of us fans the wrong way.
Jack Kelly is insufferable to listen too. No one can pay me enough to listen to him rambling with Ari for 2.5 hours.
Isn’t Jack, Ari’s coach?
Kelly can take something that can be said in 30 seconds and stretch it to a 10 min diatribe of repetition. Plus he makes these profound proclamations on his podcast and announcing just to make himself seem all knowing, kinda like Bob Costas in the US. “This is the best xxx of all time.” “This race is over, no one is catching xxx.” I try to listen to his podcast but usually can’t make it past 5 minutes.
Agreed I stopped watching anything Ari quite a while ago
While I completely agree on his videos, I don’t mind him on the podcast. At first I was interested in his YT channel but it got old fast.
On the podcast, I do feel a cohost who says things no one wants to say that the main host can rebutt is important. It’s a good role for him, particularly since some people clearly feel annoyed (that means it’s working).
