The three of them caught up to record this crossover episode -- reflecting on Josh's run-ins with the likes of Candace Owens and Joe Rogan, debating the role of the new media vs the legacy media, and establishing, once and for, why Lex Fridman is a robot.</p> <p><a href="https://decoding-the-gurus.captivate.fm/">You can find the Decoding the Gurus podcast here.</a></p> <p><strong>You’re missing out on tons of exceptional content if you haven’t hit up the Uncomfy Convos Substack page at</strong> <a href="https://uncomfortableconversations.substack.com/subscribe">https://uncomfortableconversations.substack.com/subscribe</a></p> <p><a href="http://youtube.com/@JoshSzeps_">http://youtube.com/@JoshSzeps_</a></p> <p><a href="http://twitter.com/joshzepps">http://twitter.com/joshzepps</a></p> <p><a href="http://instagram.com/joshszeps/">http://instagram.com/joshszeps/</a></p> <p><a href="http://tiktok.com/@uncomfyconversations">http://tiktok.com/@uncomfyconversations</a></p>
