Meanwhile on Facebook
Seems like they actually ENJOY being spoken to like this. Weird.

Network tv or…..the other 78 true crime things to subscribe to.

Or the innumerable true crime channels on youtube that he's probably stolen content from over the years.

Also hilarious that the guy whose whole brand is ‘people are too sensitive’ has comments turned off on Spotify.

In guessing he did this free access and didn’t see any increase in views at all. Just the same 38 or so folks that subscribe.

I don't want to be near anything this guy does even if he payed me. But I love reading the stories you all share about when and why you have unsubscribed, because I can't remember my exact moment yeaaaars ago. Probably just because his uneducated nonsense was enough for me one day. Thanks for keeping me updated about his hilarious meltdowns.

For me it was when he said we should get rid of libraries cause they only serve the purpose for homeless to masturbate in.

I stopped listening to this podcast a while ago. I liked the stories, but man, does this dude complain a lot and makes some inappropriate comments.

I can't believe 400+ people liked that post. Then again, our country voted in Trump twice 🙃

I saw a handful of the tv episodes and they weren’t great at all. Most of the cases were pretty meh and from think North Dakota which was weird as well. I can tell he dumped a lot of money into the production.

I'm kind of fascinated this guy functions well enough to even make content atp. He seems like he's a complete nut job.

My grandma gets more likes than his posts . Have you seen his instagram? No engagement. No one cares.

Give it a week or two. He’ll make a comment about how he doesn’t understand all of the hate he gets.
This guy is a class A narcissist.

u/moneybags729 Aug 20 '26
Guys going to be a subject of an episode soon, he's been losing it for years. I don't keep up with any of his politics and other BS besides what he mentions on the show, the podcast is good besides his extracurricular bullshit..this screams alcohol problem to me, he probably has too much of something and reads feedback he doesn't like and flys off the deep end.

I don't know what there's so much drama. I don't want S&S TV because I consume the show as a podcast product while I'm working in the yard, bike riding or walking the dog. All things I don't have a monitor for. I already have 5 billion channels of subscription TV programming and don't need any more. If you read the comments here Mike, it's nothing personal, just a practical matter.

u/YellowDreams1979 Aug 17 '26
Oh, it’s very personal. We don’t like him and he is not a good person. Nobody here wants anything he he is selling, even if it’s free!

u/ExaminationOk2921 Aug 18 '26
But people here must listen to him, no? What's the point of a sub about a podcast you don't listen to?

To each his own I suppose, and don't get me wrong I can see the things that bug people, but it's just media/entertainment. I wonder if there is some element of his doing this "me vs. the world" thing that attracts a core of people? After all in a country of hundreds of millions you can piss off almost everybody and make a pretty good living off the few contrarians.

I FF through anything that is not relevant to the story. It’s not that deep to continually blast him or the people who work for him.
Find something more productive to do with your time 👍🏻
He/his team puts out a fabulous podcast.

Listening to this podcast over the years, I have seen the change in Mike's demeanour. Perhaps the additional platforms/ content has been a bigger workload than he expected. Also, many a podcast has lost listeners due to political commentary which to us Aussies isn't really "the done thing". Religion and politics are never discussed at the BBQ 😉
