  • Love the showdy

    Entertaining and great chemistry between the hosts. Love the running jokes and gags. I have never been so entertained by advertisement as this show. Sometimes the show is depressing though… not because of them, but because the country we live in.

  • I've been a long time fan but goddamn, the ads have gotten out of control. Their personally recorded ads are fine but the absurdly placed gambling ads and shit in the middle of sentences and put in like, every 10 minutes is making it unlistenable.

  • Love the show BUT please fix the sound.

    The commercials are about twice as loud as the content, and just about gives me a heart attack every time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Even More News: Anthony Fauci: History's Greatest Monster?
Q: What are the practical implications of the SAVE Act for voters?
The SAVE Act would require documentary proof of citizenship (birth certificate or passport) and would complicate voting for many who lack these documents, increasing registration and voting barriers.
Even More News: Do Democrats Want Abdul El-Sayed To Win?
Q: What does RFK Jr.'s CNN interview illustrate about public health communication?
The discussion characterizes RFK Jr.'s interview as a case study in 'Gish Gallop' and selective use of evidence, highlighting the importance of presenting the weight of scientific consensus rather than cherry-picked studies.
Even More News: Do Democrats Want Abdul El-Sayed To Win?
Q: How should the party handle the messaging about El-Sayed and the AIPAC issue?
The hosts argue for pushing back against one‑sided narratives that reduce El-Sayed to a single issue, noting his public health record and community work; they also discuss the danger of labeling and the importance of policy‑based critique over identity‑driven attacks.
Even More News: Do Democrats Want Abdul El-Sayed To Win?
Q: What happened in Michigan and why did Abdul El-Sayed win?
El-Sayed won despite heavy outside spending and polling that suggested a different outcome; supporters argue it shows support for a candidate opposing the party machine and corporate money, while opponents point to media framing and electability concerns. The discussion emphasizes the need for a broad coalition and a big tent approach to win in the general election.
Even More News: Elon Musk Denies USAID Cuts Will Kill 4.5 Million Children
Q: How do you balance humor with serious topics like heavy prison sentences and aid cuts?
