You guys spent two hours of edited broadcast time setting up all of this concern for people’s trauma and all this bullshit and then a perfectly time whether a human being says “I’m not surprised“. That’s what it’s like to have some skin. That’s a little bit thicker than rice paper you wankers

You contracted an army of journalists around the world because you couldn’t talk on a phone properly? Holy fucking shit. This was really not the losing hope in the next generation moment I thought it was gonna be Be. Yeah there’s a kill list and my faith in humanity is on it. You dip shit couldn’t make a phone call.

Counsellors standing by, oh my God. Oh my fucking word. Just fucking tell them. Jesus Christ, only in England I swear to God only in fucking England. This is the chilling effect of a society gone mad, catering to every possible negative outcome person could have in life. Give them the bad fucking news. They’re gonna get a lot of it in their life, but they haven’t gotten nanny yet. They should get used to dealing with it. Oh my word.

Holy fucking shit, I have never seen such an archetype of soft needlessly contemplative enable to act millennials in my life. You would sooner have these people be killed then give them a panic attack or any number of other millennium branded nonsense. You’re so frightened about using words you forgotten what the hell you’re telling these people. Oh my God, grossing balls was unbelievably hard to listen to.

This whole thing where millennials don’t know how to talk on the phone, it’s not cute. It’s not quirky. It’s a liability to your professional life. I can’t believe how the fuck. I just heard an adult trying to communicate something of urgency to another adult. Oh my God talk on the phone a lot more. You’re like a child, omg this was Cringe inducing to listen to.

I’ve never been quite so annoyed with podcasts in my life “hello sir I’m a journalist. I’ve come across your name in a list of people involved in murder for higher. We believe that someone is trying to target you or maybe looking to harm you themselves personally. This is not a joke. It’s not a scam. I do not want any money from you. Will you please give me some moments of your time to explain more about this” that’s what you fucking say you weirdos.

There is SO MUCH unnecessary "filler" in these podcasts and then SO many commercials. you could get thru the information in half the episodes.

I would hang up immediately if someone called me and started speaking so basically - hell, I hang up immediately if someone just pronounces my name wrong, then usually block the number. I like that you changed to "I'm duty bound to inform you..." because yeah, if you want to save lives, sound serious about it.

Dude, just tell them that they’re on a hit list. You don’t have to go into all this explanation about them being in danger and if they’re interested in hearing what the hell it is. So frustrating to listen to all that.

Great episode, but as soon as the psychologist was mentioned I thought, here we go(raised eyebrows). it just showed how inaccurate they are. Then the author bleeted on and sounded like an incompetent scammer. No woder people just put the phone down. BUT at leat he admitted that later on. Great series and cant wait for the next one.
