In regards to Shawn Ryan:

He's a sober, Evangelical* version of Joe Rogan. Both are decent conversationalists but bad interviewers. They both lack the ability to actually push back on a guest with whom they disagree. Rogan asks a few questions and says "wow", Ryan does the same and says "no shit".

I think Ryan is decent when he has military/LEO/FEDs on. He loses me when he has on weirdos like the chick who said non-verbal autistics have psychic powers. He's totally unequipped to conduct a confrontational interview with someone like Newsom or Biden.

*I don't know if Shawn identifies as Evangelical, but his (relatively recent) actions remind me of that.
I'm sure he has stated he is catholic? or was.
 
One typically does not "redact" a public invitation. One may, however, "retract" it. And I think that's what Sean Ryan meant. But that’s not what he said.

Redact: "the process of removing sensitive information from a document so that it may be distributed to a broader audience"

Retract: to draw back or withdraw



Pedantic: "someone overly concerned with minor details, rules, or showing off academic knowledge in a tiresome, nit-picking way, often making things boring or missing the bigger picture" (see also Marauder06)

I was confused. People are trying to say Ryan is now Sober, has he redacted all of his drinking in previous shows?
