      Do you need someone to explain to you that wars = arms sales = profit or what? I don't think it's particularly controversial to say the war in Ukraine is making western defence companies money.

    I thought james interviews were getting better guests other than the usual " I was a gangster, my dad beat me" I hate criticism as it's always easier to do that than try and do it yourself. However, I have to say that it is quite telling that james appears to do very little research on his guests, such as reading their books and asking particular questions regarding that. Joe Rogan does that quite well in that regard or if he doesn't have the time has a researcher do it for him. It's evident from his questions that he does background work on his guests. James' Cory feldman interview (which I was looking forward to) was a car crash.
    The reason I listened to the podcast cast were because of Geoff Thompson ( I trained under Vadim Kolganov for many years who advised I should train under Geoff, which did, normally 2-3 time s year) and the luke mitchell case. Sorry james, do more research on your guests, it's becoming evedent you're not putting effort in.i have faith in your abilities.time to step it up a notch and employ a researcher.
