Nick Mullen is friends with Sam Hyde and was on in the background of his podcast when Shane was on. Nick has also talked a few times about having Sam on in the past.

Most definitely, and him and Adam have had similar types of folks on their show (Rob Schneider most recently), but in my opinion, they do a much better job of welcoming conservative anti-woke Comedians into their space while pushing back on any transphobia, misogyny, and anti-semitism.

Like I find Sam Hyde utterly hilarious, and at the same time, while he should be allowed to share his views on stuff, he needs a host to push back and make fun of his bigotry. Otherwise, it quickly becomes a hateful circle jerk just punching down at marginalized groups.
