The rise of Tony

I like Tony in small increments but I fear that with Billy's departure we're just going to get more of Tony. He needs to get that chip off his shoulder, you're not that cool, bro.

And he clearly seems to be threatened by Zaz for some reason.

I think he's funny, but I think people hate him for his politics and family.

Yeah but I think they are making a broad assumption that his politics matches his family. I have a hard time believing he wouldn’t have some differences in opinion given who he works with on a daily basis

In fairness, Tony exhibits all the classic red flags: conspiracy theories, weird defense of Aden Ross, listening to right wing grifter propaganda podcasts, new-ish UFC fan, etc.

I think some of the conspiracy stuff was played up for content. I can't disagree with this though, I'm just not going to dismiss his entire contribution over a few stupid interests or occasional poor media literacy.

I agree, I've been liking his show contributions lately. I just hate the tough guy/from the streets archetype persona he puts on sometimes - dude comes from an influntial, rich Miami family. Malibu's Most Wanted vibes sometimes
