If you can find them, his old episodes of "the bugle" podcast were amazing

He was working for (Murdoch's) Newscorp. But when there was some nasty news stories about him, John and Andy just straight up said Rupert was a liar and guilty of all charges and then went on to just call him very rude words on a podcast he was paying them to make.

They lasted for months doing that before getting fired. So while I think John will pick his battles, he's not afraid to hit the hand that feeds him, if it deserves it.
