Sean is highkey someone I aspire to become career-wise by the time I'm his age (hell, I already wear too many black V-necks). My only real gripe with him is that he doesn't call Dax out enough for his retarded takes, save for the V I R U S T A L K, which have only gotten more and more frequent and markedly worsed since last March. I guess Dax pays him well enough to put up with the revolving door of retards each week. Maybe it's that, maybe it's the 20+ year friendship, maybe it's both.
With that said, I get that Sean functionally serves as an audience surrogate, and unlike a lot of the people involved in TDS now, he has a lucrative career and a normal life outside the show. I don't think he's ever prepared for whatever shitshow goes down on air. The drama Dax gets himself involved in is not his business, and TDS ending would not screw him over financially the way it would for Dax or even Riley. If I were still keeping up with the show weekly and Sean left for good, I'd wish him the best and never touch TDS again.
