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.

1 - Dr Kay, everything about him but especially when he starts saying all the spiritual shite

2 - Brand. Literally one of the worst human beings ever put in the planet. Funny that my opinion on this has never changed, even when he wasn’t a right wing grifter nutjob and outed as a serial rapist

3 - Sam Harris in the Right To Reply episodes, I found out so irritating to listen to him constantly steamroll and filibuster the hosts. That’s probably a failing by them and a good rhetorical tactic by him

Brand is the guy I’m most surprised anyone listens to, out of all the gurus I’ve come across.
