    I love your show but I’m giving one star because when I am walking my 10k a day I am listening to you with AirPods and you keep slamming the desk and it’s killing me! Please stop. Remember your listeners are reacting to you slamming your fist on the desk everyday! Please stop

  • TDS Much??

    His TDS makes his latest podcast unlistenable. The stories you told about DJT and his friends’ wives were as believable as Mother Goose tales. I was so surprised. I thought you had much higher journalistic standards 🤷‍♀️ ( and don’t bother I’m not a DJT super fan - just think it best to stick to more FACTUAL criticisms)

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From PTSD to a Purpose- Saving Veterans + The Treatment That Helped + The White House Takes Notice
Q: What role did the Oval Office executive order play in your work?
The executive order validated and accelerated federal support for regulated, clinician-guided psychedelic treatments, helping us scale advocacy, funding, and clinical trials to reach more veterans beyond our immediate community.
From PTSD to a Purpose- Saving Veterans + The Treatment That Helped + The White House Takes Notice
Q: How did your personal experiences lead you to become advocates for psychedelic-assisted therapy?
We saw the deep, ongoing struggles of veterans and realized that the standard treatments weren't enough. A transformational experience gave Marcus a new sense of purpose, which motivated us to push for research, regulation, and access so other veterans could find relief.
Nithya's Sudden Rise + L.A. At A Crossroads +Taylor Swift's Wedding Venue & More w/ Maureen Callahan
Q: What's driving Nithya Raman's unexpected surge in the LA mayoral race?
A strong ground game built by the Democratic Socialists of America, heavy volunteer canvassing, and partnerships with housing and homelessness advocacy groups that expanded Raman's reach, even in areas where she wasn't a familiar name.
Spencer Pratt & Why His Run For LA Mayor Is Making National Headlines
Q: What would you do first as mayor to address the homelessness and drug crisis?
He advocates mandatory medical treatment for addicted individuals under state law, quicker access to beds, and mobilizing private sector support while ensuring transparency and accountability in spending.
Spencer Pratt & Why His Run For LA Mayor Is Making National Headlines
Q: How do you describe the movement that you have built here?
Pratt frames his movement as a localized, nonpartisan call for safety and practical governance, arguing his message transcends traditional party lines and focuses on public safety, city services, and accountability.
