  • 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.

    If content is needed, its just listener e... more

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fred Has Moved
Q: Does it give you, as you stood there, how precious life is and what we take for granted and how quickly it could all be taken away?
Howard agrees, and Fred reflects on a friend who suffered a major stroke, saying serious health changes can happen suddenly. Howard adds that one diagnosis can change a person's whole life.
Fred Has Moved
Q: What do you think the is it because of the environment, because of the situation, all of that?
Fred says the house suits him and Elise, with a quiet street, forest views, wildlife and features that match what he wanted. Leaving busy Brampton for a quieter community has also reduced his day-to-day anxiety.
Trump's Latest Bimbo
Q: If somebody listening does have a lot of cash sitting around in a savings account, what should the carve out or takeaway from this conversation be?
Bondi says each dollar should have a defined job: emergency savings, near-term spending, or longer-term goals. Once those needs are identified, an investment plan can put appropriate funds to work.
Trump's Latest Bimbo
Q: How much cash is too much cash?
Jay Bondi recommends keeping cash for emergencies and known near-term expenses, but considering investment for money without a short-term purpose. He warns that inflation erodes cash's buying power and that waiting for the market to fall can make it harder to invest.
Curly Howard, Larry and Mo
Q: How did Hillary know that people like Tenzing, you needed a Sherpa?
Holloway explains that Sherpas carried supplies, set up camps and were better acclimatized to high altitude, which reduced the risk of altitude sickness.
