- Too Political Anymore
Wow, the 4.9 star average is not representative of the last year of reviews, and I have to agree with almost all of the negative reviews. This show used to be awesome, but the last year or two has just become way too political. There’s plenty of annoying hot topic political podcasts out there if that’s what we want, but those have all gotten so annoying and out of control too…the podcast bubble has burst, and these two aren’t doing themselves any favors by spewing their LA bubble viewpoints to t... more

United States15 days ago - Off the rails
As the title suggests this show has gone off the rails. It use to be a fun entertaining podcast but lately it’s nothing but Liberal propaganda and slamming the right. Both hosts refuse to see views from both sides and stick to ignoring facts. It would be nice if they just keep politics out of the podcast and go back to just entertaining doc style episodes. Keep the political stuff for your paid audience because I am sure they are viewing things the same way and would want to listen.
Apple Podcasts1Jkrsw1ldUnited States16 days ago - Monica is insufferable
But do enjoy most episodes.
But she is so condescending I can’t stand this.
Apple Podcasts5gonefishcakingUnited States17 days ago - You forgot black people
If you’re looking for a whitewashed account of American culture then check out this show. They’re missing that most trends in popular culture started in the black community. Nothing is more American than that. My other gripe is that only David introduces himself. Who are Monica and Dax? Am I supposed to grant them authority based on the fact that they’re talking into a microphone?
