Hi, is this Josh?

Yeah, it's Josh.

So back in January, you wrote,

you were the most pathetic human being I have ever seen on the internet in my entire life.

Josh, what inspired you to write that message?

Hi, I'm Dylan Marin and I'm starting a new podcast called Conversations with People Who Hate Me.

It's an interview series where I get to know some of the people behind the negative and hateful messages I've received on the internet.

You wrote to me, you're a moron, you're the reason this country is dividing itself.

All of your videos are merely opinion and an awful opinion I must say.

Dylan Marin represents some of the worst aspects of liberalism.

When the police aren't there, sensitive young men like you will be the first to go.

Also, being gay is a chemical thing in your body,

but similar to addictions that people have, it's an addiction that you can control.

Good thing nobody watches your shit, but hey, you're probably getting ten bucks a video.

So whatever.

So I wanted to use this series not to shut down the people who disagree with me,

but to actually talk with them.

What sparked you to send that initial message?

I was just angry about it all.

I'd actually message a few different popular people on Facebook,

but you're actually the only one that messages back.

I was very outraged by the views you had, especially on abortion.
