  • Brilliant

    I happened to hear a commercial for this and I’m so glad I did. It’s smart and really funny (you can hear me laughing aloud while doing the laundry at midnight) perfect to balance all the dramatic and often bad onslaught of news. Love the chemistry between the three with Michael being the perfect genius leader. Jim and Jody are so wonderful and smart and give that softer tone to Michael’s witty and cutting satire.

  • You guys

    Hey there Michael, long time fan here. Let me first say your comedy gets a huge nod of approval from me. One might say you’re my favorite comedian.

Anyway, if you’re interested in my very generous offe... more

  • Comedy is part of the resistance

    Michael is the perfect guy for this podcast. There’s something grounding and comforting about listening to his sardonic takes on the news. He’s sharp, he’s well informed, and his jokes cut like a knife. He’s just as miserable as we are, but he’s also stubborn—which is exactly what we need in this moment. We need stubborn and funny people to call things as they are. And that’s what Michael does best.
