I vaguely knew that Mike Johnson was a weirdo, but this video really filled in a lot of details I didn’t have. Now I find myself agree with the video’s assessment: Mike Johnson is a scary little freak!

    I love these guys but their hyper intense thing is a bit too much.

    Especially for the 40+ mins videos.

    If they just did the quieter weird stuff (or just no weird stuff) I’d watch every single one.

    But I need to be in such a specific mood to handle these, and I got sure can’t send them to other people to get informed.

      I agree, I found it hard to deal with too. But I really got comfortable with their style when John Oliver’s show was paused due to the strike. Some More News really presents some wonderfully researched and presented information, they’re style can be a big strong but it’s just their shtick to stand out, but still give good content.

      Since I got used to it, I’ve been watching every new video and I enjoy it. But man, I too wish they’d tone it down a bit.

      I’ve commented this sentiment on their videos. They put in so much research, and it’s good information on well-chosen topics. But having to always skip the beginnings and ends of videos, and not being able to recommend them to many people is a bummer. I get reporting on this stuff would make most people a little manic and bitter, but come on. Ad reads reach a new low there too, somehow scathing sarcasm just makes it all so much more annoying.
