Scot McKay

Sure, he has hosted the #1 men's dating podcast for 16 years now. But meanwhile, Scot McKay has shared bad jokes with North Korean military officers, sipped coffee at Pablo Escobar’s home, survived a shark attack while surfing, held his breath as the pride of lions walked by his tent, and blitzed through California canyons at 140 mph. Yet somehow, he has also been referred to as the “sane one” on Twitter by Scott Adams.

Despite all that, he’s the most objective, down-to-earth dating expert out there. He also throws down the most fluff-free original content, because that’s what all those years of immersive geekery on the subject does for someone.

Scot’s wife Emily is his “proof of concept”, given she’s just as sweet as she is smokin’ hot. But you’ll never hear her brag about any of that, only Scot.

The Mountain Top has been named a Top 10 Dating Podcast by DatingAdvice.com, and a long time ago Grader.com weirdly ranked Scot the #1 most influential Facebook user in the world.
