Sorry for the direct Twitter link but I forgot the name of the proxy since Nitter died.
Talkshow host and alleged comedian Adam Friedland easily fends off feeble jabs from Destiny after 5 years experience in getting bullied by a cackling Greek and the president of the DSA
Why does everyone view Adam Friedland with contempt and disgust?
I ask this as someone who never listened to Cumtown. The only podcasts in the Chapo orbit I've listened to are Chapo itself and Trueanon. Never heard an episode of Cumtown, or E1, or Street Fight or whatever its called, or Red Scare. So my impressions of the Cumtown hosts are cobbled together from appearances on Chapo and also Twitter posts.
This is my impression of each Cumtown host. Nick Mullen: a violently racist and misogynistic neonazi, would kill a child. Stavros Halkias: friend to all children, dated Rachel Sennott, the only actual funny person in the chapo orbit but probably not funny enough to hack it long term as a professional stand-up comic. Adam Friedland: literally nothing except that he has an interview show where Finkelstein ranted in his direction for an hour.
Stalin: "hey it's me cool Trotsky! I want a permanent revolution!"
Lenin: "hell yeah I love cool Trotsky."
Trotsky: "so wait he's cool Trotsky and I'm regular Trotsky?"
Lenin: "shut the fuck up gay Trotsky."
Stalin was 70% correct and 30% mistaken. Nick made 70% very funny bits and 30% going too far and just saying extremely racist stuff that wasn't even funny. Tragedy and farce.
Adam just has very intense younger brother/cousin energy so it feels natural to pick on him a little, that's all.
He had an annoying habit of interrupting good bits Nick and Stav were doing or not contributing much to the pod so Nick and Stav would always drag him. It was 90% a bit in and of itself and 10% him genuinely being kind of annoying. I think it's the same dynamic with fans, 90% are just going along with the bit and mocking him, 10% genuinely find the dude annoying and hate him.
Because he’s the least funny of the three, by far.
Edit: He’s better live and as a standup but, and say what you will about them, Nick and Stav have real comedic talent, in their own ways.
I constantly confuse him with English DJ Adam Freeland (as featured in UGA's Dreamcast cult classic Rez)
