  • Awful production

    I like the show but I'm convinced this podcast is a social experiment to see how many people notice the horrible audio mixing.

    A kid with no professional equipment could do better.

  • Informative and Hilarious

    A must listen on my playlist. Really funny, and a great way to start your day.

    Just one thing though…please balance the volume. Ads are loud enough but then once the episode resumes it’s a whisper

    Haven’t listened to hasans podcast in a while. He’s one of my favorite podcasters. I cannot express how angry and how disappointed I am to see that Deepak Chopra, who is listed in the Epstein files is being featured on this podcast. Why are we elevating these monsters. I don’t care that You acknowledge this in the beginning of the podcast. You should not have aired this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why “Kill The Bad Guys” Never Works - with MS NOW’s Ayman Mohyeldin
Q: Can you describe how the 'kill the bad guys' narrative has affected media coverage?
Mohyeldin argues that this simplistic framing often fails to address the deeper political, social, and historical causes of conflict, and it tends to overlook the needs and humanity of affected civilians.
Is “Longevity” a Grift? - with Dr. Sanjay Gupta
Q: What are the baseline steps Gupta suggests for living longer and healthier?
He emphasizes regular physical activity (about 30 minutes a day as a minimum with more intense workouts), a balanced diet focusing on reducing processed foods, and tracking health metrics like cardio-respiratory fitness rather than just hitting high heart rate. He also highlights the role of sleep and social connections as foundational to health.
How Trump 2.0 is Radicalizing Resistance Moms - with Jennifer Welch
Q: What shaped your shift in political views and how do you see empathy playing into Democratic messaging?
Welch argues that engaging movable, good people with empathetic messaging is essential to expand the Democratic base, rather than courting hardline voters, and she emphasizes universal human rights as a unifying frame.
Ramy Youssef is Your Elmo-Approved Muslim
Q: How do you navigate your role in relation to politics as a public figure?
Ramy describes taking breaks from social media to avoid overwhelm, while still engaging when he chooses, emphasizing a responsibility to stand up for human rights and speak when it truly matters, but without feeling obligated to be online 24/7.
Getting SPICY with Mehdi Hasan
Q: What is the media's role in shaping perceptions of Iran and Gaza according to Mehdi Hasan?
Mehdi Hasan argues that media often labels or sanitizes inflammatory language, normalizes Islamophobia, and plays a role in shaping public support for war by not clearly labeling actions as war crimes.
