Sage I love you, but sharing personal texts is never ok
Such a great show! I love listening - just wish it was on more. And very refreshing - I was a big Megyn Kelly fan and found your show when I needed other podcasts to listen to after her refusal to call out Candace & Tucker. This is a great mix of facts, friendship, political insight and pure happiness. Thank you for this show!
Love the discussions and all the hosts!
My favorite podcasters unite! Thank you!
I’m a Big Fan! I love all 4 hosts - Dave, Jillian, Sage & Drew .
It’s so refreshing to hear voices of reason during these Crazy, Upside Down times that we are living in.
Thank You !

The show features a combustible mix of politics, culture, health, and media commentary led by four regular hosts who spar, banter, and riff with guests ranging from fitness personalities to political commentators. Episodes frequently blend sharp takes on current events with personal anecdotes, pop culture references, and sponsorship segments, resulting in a brisk, opinionated conversation style. Fans likely tune in for candid debates, provocative viewpoints, and a willingness to challenge mainstream narratives, all delivered with humor and a self-described edge. A notable strength is the dynamic group chemistry and a willingness to entertain controversial takes while weaving in topical policy and media coverage discussions.
