Requiem for a Wife Guy ft. Josh Boerman

This week, Hussein and Devon are joined by friend of the show, Josh, to talk about the downfall of the H3 podcast, and the death of the ‘wife guy’. Devon explains who Ethan Klein was, what H3 represented in 2010’s internet culture, and the ways Klein attempted to throttle content creation in order to get back at his enemies. We reflect on some of the internet’s most well known ‘wife guys’ and ask, why cheating seems to be the only sure-fire way a creator can tank their career, and what some have done to try revive their online personas after a scandal. Josh also talks about the results of the recent US mid-term elections, and whether, 10 years after Trump’s first election, posting has gotten too weird for any politician to rely on as an electoral strategy. subscribe to The Worst of All Possible Worlds: https://www.worstpossible.world/ follow Josh on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/bosh.worstpossible.world ------- LEBANON AID LINKS Here are some fundraisers to support collective rebuilding and survival efforts on the ground in Lebanon. -Beit El-Baraka started out as a food bank, but has grown to help people afford rent, cover their essentials, and live with dignity. https://beitel…
