“Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad”. Chad and Mr Global are excellent experts and I learn a lot from them. Nat is just too much. I agree with probably everything he does, but he’s interjecting his opinion too much and is somewhat irritating. I wish he’d simply ask questions and let the experts discuss.
I really like listening to the 2 experts discuss the various topics, but they gotta get rid of the so called comedian. Whether or not he’s funny is debated, but I just find him distracting and annoying. I hate to say it, but he’s making it unlistenable for me and now I’m unfollowing the show. Best of luck to all involved, but I gotta go.
The information learned from this podcast is valuable but the host uses 200 words when 20 would suffice. He will ask a question then cut himself off to ask the same question in a different way, it’s gotten so I skip through when he starts talking.
Brilliant
I love the interactions and knowledge Chad Scott and Mr. Global bring to the table. Nat Towsen seems to get out over his skis quite a bit, particularly when it comes to Israel and what I can only describe as veiled antisemitism, but his wit adds to all other topics. Overall I enjoy listening.

A geopolitical briefing that blends energy markets, military strategy, and policy analysis with a sharp, accessible panel format.

Listeners can expect rigorous analysis balanced with humor and a willingness to challenge conventional narratives.
Noteworthy is the willingness to explore cont... more
