- Heavyweight
Best podcast, bar none. It makes me laugh, cry, tugs at raw emotions. Stories so well told, there’s a little in each of us of all the characters. Jonathon is a master at this

Please tell me you’re NOT going political!!!!! I love your work….it was great storytelling and made me laugh. I listen to podcasts to “ get away “ from the deluge of news. What a disappointment. We have immigration laws here. If the bleeding heart liberals stayed out of the way, perhaps we could rid this country of MS-13 gang members who are poisoning us. Where’s the sympathy for all rapes and murders of America citizens? Hypocrite!! I’m done with you after years of listening. What a sellout.

Do you know why ice is out there?? to catch illegal… immigrants. If you believe the illegal immigration is not a crime, then open your f... more
