real question is what is friedberg doing hanging out with these frauds

I have bad news for you.

Probably also a fraud but just a bit less blatant. A subtle, gentleman's grifter.

This is how baseless rumors start. You're speculating without a hint of evidence.

Point taken, you're right, and I'm just having a laugh. But he does surround himself with grifters. In any case, I think he'll be fine.

He does, but I'm kind of glad for it, as if they weren't around then there probably wouldn't be a podcast. Even though he's the only member of the podcast I find likable, I still find the exchanges entertaining.

He seems legit to me.
