  • One of the most cutting edge social commentary shows out there.

    Always entertaining. While their takes may be radical, they often cover issues months before they enter normie awareness, and issues both sides of politics would rather remain unseen.

    I love how many different concepts they’ll explore. You won’t agree on them with everything, but the point is to see a lot of new ideas.

    2.29.26 Ok so what turned me off today is when Malcolm speaks over Simone and they both start criticising Simone’s looks. I just turned it off. It just bugs me. Why!!! Simone is amazing and the main reason I listen. Otherwise I love the content and I learn a lot. I just need a break of if I hear that.
