  • 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

  • Lebron loves Kobe

    Lebron loved Kobe despite anything because when your fellow right wing hack Laura Ingraham told to Lebron Shut Up and Dribble Kobe called out the bigot in his speech when he accepted his Oscar.
