I primarily follow him for years on instagram and X(twitter) usually he as good points but recently all he does I hate on democrats in his own city. Has no real solutions and just complains and vents. He disables comments everywhere because he’s probably not willing or able to hold a real conversation or debate. He reminds me of Bill Maher and how he’s getting more difficult to listen to.
Wish I could give Zero Stars. Vile and insensitive podcast.
I’ve been a listener since the beginning, and I look forward to hearing Ernest each Monday morning.
I am new to the show but it has quickly become a voice and perspective that I look forward to hearing. Great job and keep being your unapologetic self, Ernest.
Mr Owen’s’ is very opinionated about food, fashion, politics and a variety of topics. It is a voice that is valued and needed. I enjoy hearing what he has to say about Philadelphia and beyond. Looking forward to what he has to say in 2024.
