is there a male version of this show?


is there a male version of this show?

serious question.

not talking about NEWS but a group of guys sitting around talking like this show?

"Five men with very different outlooks on politics, Hollywood and its stars, and current events discuss these and other divisive topics of the day."

Does that exist?

I don't watch TV so I don't really know, and am curious.

I do remember a show called "The Other Half" with Danny Bonaduce that tried to be a male version of this. I think it was canceled after a year or so.

Because guys didn’t want to watch it.

And women don’t care what guys think.

They should make a male version of The VIEW and title it The REAR VIEW

No.

It's a female gab fest.

But these daytime talk show used to be 'cheap' to produce.

As fancy as the "General Hospital" set appears, they're getting paid with hay as opposed to Whoopi with green friendly cash.

ABC has already tarnished it's name, by aligning itself with a political program that is so divisive now.

In 96, 06, 16 it worked...but that gig is now done.

Republicans have risen up against the hate. And it took them decades to do it.

It's like hanging out with the beer kid as a junior in HS until your 23 and realize how much of a loser he/she is now working at the gas station.

It just took a voice. Strangely enough, it was Donald Trump.

And Disney too...those Mickey Mouse hats seem so foolish to people who grew up in the 80's 90's and 00's.

My God...we look at these photos now, it seems like we're either evil or living on a different planet.

Like how the fuck did we send our kids there?

sometimes on sports shows they'll get off topic and start talking pop culture and politics. what you tend to get is five guys all sitting around agreeing and having the same opinions about stuff. which for a talk show is actually terrible.

Men don't have the "cackling chicken" gene that is necessary for such silliness.

I think there are some podcasts of dudes talking politics but they're all Libs. To answer the question no show like The View exists for Men because Women wouldn't allow it. They would inject themselves into it for no other reason except they think they would be entitled to be there. If a network would try and make a Dude's version of The View DEI quotas would destroy it and make it God awful to watch.

I regularly like watching some channels on YouTube that do far more entertaining versions of that with zoom calls, and the men (and sometimes women) are far smarter and more likeable than those hags on "The Coven." At least with these nerds you got to hear all sorts of fun, juicy stuff the Left won't talk about at all that's going on in Hollywood, as well as pop culture in general.

Really fun ones include "Midnight's Edge," "Friday Night Tights" on Nerdrotic's channel, and George the Giant Slayer when he's doing livestreaming.
