  • Thank you for helping me stay sane (ish) in this mad, mad world

    I’ll admit, I wasn’t sure at first whether I’d enjoy Howard and Fred (and let’s not forget Dan) but I stuck with it for just 2 episodes and that was enough. Now I’m hooked and just love them all. It’s so refreshing and re-assuring in the world today (2026) to know that there are others out there speaking their minds while the press seem to be gagged by fear.

  • Nothing Canadian about these Grifters

    These two frauds are still at it, har!

    "Fiercely Independent" what a joke, there's nothing Canadian here. I mean there's no posts on their Patreon (AMERICAN Company) for years while they grift fools out of money for them to only do Ad reads and native advertising as a "Comedy podcast." Guess its the 'canadian way' to put no money into a 'podcast' and grift out as much as they can even placing ads on their website with not content but subscription links.

  • Love The Show

    I have been listening to the show for about 6 years now & I absolutely love it. Humble, Fred & Dan always have something interesting/funny to talk about. This is the ONLY podcast I listen to & it looks like I will be listening a lot more now bc the only talk radio station I enjoyed, has been changed. Thank you for keeping me entertained for the past 6 years & hopefully for many more to come.
