Every episode we blast anyone who gets in our way. We bring critical thinking, skepticism, and irreverence to any topic that makes the news, makes it big, or makes us mad. It's skeptical, it's political and there is no welcome mat.

Can’t get enough of you two waving from Texas
Commentary style podcast that talk about interesting or funny stories in the week. They sometimes do discussion on certain focused topics to spread awareness.
Of course, feel free to fact check them.
They do cuss and the show might not be for everyone. It's still a joy to listen to for me.
i can always depend on these guys. They are the antidote to the brain dead conservative podcast trash out there. These guys THINK and don't blame the wrong people.
Explored a new (to me) podcast "Cognitive Dissonance," episode 12/1/2025. Lots of cussing, yelling, silly teenage boy-like laughing, locker room humor... Made it until they said Repubs fabricate nonexistent problems in order to (falsely) claim they're fixing things. Their example? Borders that were never open but Republicans are falsely claiming to close and fix borders that have *never* been open. I'm done here. Could people really believe the border wasn't open!?!? Can they ever see reality?
Was fun for a while, and now they just suck. If they could keep facts straight or be more reliably funny, I'd have stuck around, but no such luck. Changing my review from a year ago from 4 stars down to two. It has become more obvious that they don't do deep research or know much about the topics at hand. They are trying too hard to be funny and failing, and just not doing fact checking. I am disappointed.
