  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Great show

    As much as I disagree with Humble you can't dispute his talent to broadcast.

    I've been on his show and subsequently banned and blocked.

    Search for Humble and Fred and Fakeologist for the show that they couldn't stop talking about.
