I have really loved this podcast from the very beginning, but am sorely disappointed in the direction it’s taken. Jed, you’ve taken a left turn and it’s not good. I’ll be saying a sad goodbye.

Season 5 is all about racial grievances. This isn’t 2020….No one cares to have this nonsense rammed down their throats anymore.
