If you are looking for something new to listen too look somewhere else. The “jokes” are about as funny as babies dying from cancer. It’s feels like your listening to 24 hours of a jilted lover whining about their ex’s each episode.
Smart guys sitting around laughing at how stupid everyone around then is, making us all on the left look like jerks.
More cheap shots, classless intellectual superiority and low blow personal attacks than actual content (which I agree with much of, when they actually get to it).
Sadly, I don’t think their delivery method is ever going to help them achieve their goal of being taken seriously as media critics.
