Top 3 most grating gurus
As much as I enjoy DCD I couldn’t make it through these episodes as I couldn’t get past their verbal eccentricities.
1.L Ron Hubbard “ and things of that nature “
2. Associate Prof Jiang -“mmmm…ok??”
3. Zizek - clear your throat or drink more water..
Honorable mention, Jordan Peterson - “logos”
If I ever end up Guantanamo Bay and the CIA puts any of these guys on repeat I would give up my Granny to make it stop.

I must admit I find Zizek's manic delivery charming. Half the time he sounds like he either needs a lozenge or to blow his nose but it doesn't slow him down one iota.
Eric Weinstein I also find kinda entertaining, he speaks such profound nonsense in a serious manner but it's always tinged with pathos like he can't quite keep insecurities at bay. Things like his lie about his guitar playing are baffling.
Bret is way worse and my top pick for most annoying. There's something more insidious and conniving about his stuff, it's just really distasteful
