- Good but annoying at times
Yes cal is a bit liberal, but the podcast is enjoyable. Also like Tony’s segment, although he appears to hate men, because he is a girl dad, and has an apparent disdain for religion.

Hey Cal, you keep parroting the Project 2025 nonsense. Where’s the concrete evidence of fraud and waste? So far the only fraud and waste has been with DOGE itself who repeatedly removes their falsehoods and inaccuracies from their website. Keep up the disinformation and propaganda you have proven so effective at!

He’s the epitome of a midwit. Under informed and over confident. Unless you’re a hipster I can’t see how you’ll be able to stomach this show. A little humility would go a long way.

Don’t listen to the main podcast, but Tony’s Houndation segment is fantastic. Used to be a regular listener to his Sporting Dog Talk podcast and love getting to hear hunting dog content from him again!
