  • L-Spade never bites his tongue. He’s 100

    First the host never bites his tongue, if it means backlash so be it. BUT the best part about this podcast is if you don’t like politics or news, skip to the “randumb show” episodes. They’re hilarious. If you wanna hear about dating, skip to “pimpin vs simpin” which is just as hilarious but wise. 3 thumbs up!! Keep going!

  • Good balance

    It’s obviously a left leaning podcast but tries to fair. There’s a good mix of serious and ridiculous.
