About this episode

The episode scrutinizes Michael Tracey, a contrarian writer and social media personality, exploring his career and media presence during the Trump era.

We're back with another installment in our critically acclaimed "Who the Hell?" biographical series, this time sitting down to scrutinize Michael Tracey : a contrarian writer and social media personality who has managed to draw a surprising amount of attention to himself throughout the Trump era. Jared and Mike are joined by guest Bobby Silverman to review the arc of Tracey's career, from his early run-in with police at an Ann Coulter event to his eventual rise in media as a pugnacious hater of political pundits and journalists. This episode explores how Tracey, a self-described "roving journalist," has channeled his resentment for contemporary media into attention-seeking episodes of confrontation and contrarianism that have earned him fans among right-wing audiences. After this episode, the corrupt woke media will never be the same. Transition Music: "Tide Rips" by Bering Sea
