Redbar

A narrorator of nothing. A non public speaker who rarely has his eyes on a formidable toxic. If this were baseball he's batting well under the mendoza line. His funniest moments get you to the point of cracking a smile but never laughing. A sad man with a sad life. Busts everyone's balls for running ads and "selling" their souls but all his content is behind a pay wall. Let's be honest he's behind a pay wall because he only talks s*** and wants to be able to walk around safe. The only thing worse than redbar are his fans who claim to know everything about comedy. Between him pausing a clip every 5 seconds, talking over the clip, and every now and then targeting someone much more accomplished than him, you can chalk up the podcast/show as bad.

Many moons ago I discovered Redbar Radio while venturing down the infamous, late-night YouTube rabbit hole. To my surprise, I found a lot of Redbar's takes to have validity. The show is a mix between Mike being in-character as a misanthropic critic and giving candid feedback from time to time. Since Mike and Jules have stopped posting on YouTube, clippers have taken up arms to repost segments. To some degree, Mike plays into the clipping by saying some of the most outrageous things simply for the fact that he knows they will be clipped. At the heart of Redbar Radio is the idea that many mainstream podcasters and comedians are constantly & shamelessly peddling bs to their audiences. These people will happily sell you poor quality merchandise, and do ad reads that interrupt the flow of the conversation. On some occasions, podcasters even shamelessly mention products from advertisers without disclosing payment. The same people who will happily sell slop to their audience, refuse to interact with them! Mike and Jules' response to this has been elite-level trolling towards these podcasters/comedians. You will either love or hate Redbar. There's no in-between.

You like Redbar? Their early work was a little too edgelord for my taste. But when Jules came on in 2016, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole show has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the show a big boost. He's been compared to Howard Stern, but I think Redbar has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In 2019, mike trolled Joey Diaz his most accomplished endeavor to date. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "The Delia tapes" An episode so funny, most people probably don't listen to the underlying message. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about Redbar itself.

Basically a sad hater who seems so upset with himself and his own life that he has designed his whole angle around picking on entertainers little mistakes and blowing them way out of proportion because he knows he doesn't have any talent himself. It's pretty simple to be honest lol.

Mike is a great host! He's always able to see people for who they really are and nobody is funnier than Mike in those moments. All the people saying he's a hater yeah you're right he's a hater but he's hating on fools. The only people who can't seem to understand this are fellow fools. I hope Mike feels better and he's able to give us more seasons in the future.
