  • Audible Lobotomy (Sounds of Psychosis)

    Born of the San Diego suburbs, we probably should have known. The definitive moment was when KD pushed back (in real time) during a press conference.

    That was the visible representation of challenged induced psychosis. Ethan famously hated anyone replying on Twitter, KD did irl and Eth eventually lost his mind. The “Free Press” ????

    Reactionary This!

  • Friends Disagree

    Your friends who tweeted they disagreed with you spouting your right wing bull did not betray you Fool! They were telling the truth as they believed in opposition to you saying what you may have believed but may have just been saying because the Right Wing is much more willing pay you to say what they want to hear.

  • Slayer of “liberal” strawmen

    Strauss seems to have only one core belief: if his California peers like something then it’s suspect or stupid. Kinda like having TDS but a different flavor.

  • Pesca Liar!

    Trump lied when he said “Gaines” was blowing everyone away until Lia Thomas. Lia set no National records. Other women not named Gaines were way faster. She set pool records. A lot of us have relatives who have set pool records. Pablo might be a left wing Andy Ngo but he didn’t lie.

  • Really troubling antisemitism on the show

    Ethan hosting a virulent antisemite on his latest show, who repeatedly made straight up antisemitic comments about Jews and Israel was really, really concerning. To think this is okay in 2025 is startling. Will not be listening anymore

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Justin Termine on Hot NBA Topics!
Q: What's your take on Jaylen Brown's ranking and the use of analytics in evaluating him?
The discussion centers on the middle ground between analytics and perception, recognizing that different metrics can place Brown differently than how he views himself, with a nuanced stance rather than a definitive label.
Justin Termine on Hot NBA Topics!
Q: How has the pressure to be on-air all day affected careers in sports media?
There's acknowledgment that constant on-call life can push people to burnout or steer them toward roles that allow more controlled schedules, which can influence long-term career choices.
Justin Termine on Hot NBA Topics!
Q: What's the balance between evergreen analysis and reacting to the latest NBA developments?
The guest and hosts agree that you need to be present in the moment but also frame insights so they stay relevant beyond the current news cycle, avoiding mere Twitter feed recaps.
HoS: Mark Halperin on THE MEDIA
Q: Do you think the media's approach would be different if they had correctly assessed the political landscape?
Halperin suggests that the media's failure to understand the electorate's perspective has deepened the divide between political parties and reduced their credibility.
HoS: Mark Halperin on THE MEDIA
Q: What is your view on the media bias against Trump?
Halperin believes that the media has always been biased but is currently more biased due to pronounced antipathy towards Trump. He argues that the situation has gone from a moderate level of bias to a higher level.
