“The host and producers got too close to the idea of Justin, and turned him into a hero in their own minds and assumed listeners would too. Instead, this feels like a love letter to bro culture and a guy that, by his own words, was not great to women, using drugs and running away to avoid his problems/mental health issues, selling drugs and seeking out sketchy people in a country where he didn’t know the culture or speak the language. Spending so much time poetically waxing about admiring him while breezing past his dangerous choices doesn’t honor his memory or tell the full story. This is a sad story, not a hero’s journey. I hope his loved ones find peace.
And why did they bring back the friend who was so outwardly racist toward the Indian people?”
