  • Minnesota Shooter Monster

    I have been an avid fan for a very long time, but had to stop listening to this episode. I found the correction of Dr. John Matthias to be uncomfortable and took away from the episode. Why are we giving consideration to a child killer’s pronouns? Two children are dead and others forever broken.

  • Minnesota episode

    As much as I love this podcast, and was psyched to join as a member and listen to the recent Minn. shooter episode!

    Lauren said up front that she had not watched or listened to the video, yet was so quick to make sure John was saying the correct pronouns because she didn’t want to upset listeners.

    She was on him the entire time and it was super uncomfortable.

    John had watched and listened to the video (as I did) and knew the child had regrets of transitioning and wasn’t even attempting to “... more

  • Warning: Minneapolis episode may cause severe headache and frustration

    Supposed to cover the Minneapolis school shooter tragedy, but instead it was 32 minutes of Dr. John rambling in fragments, random tangents, and zero complete thoughts. Thirty minutes felt like three hours, and I finally shut it off before my head exploded. This didn’t just miss the mark—it wrecked my mood.
