  • This is a new fave of mine

    I love Will, his guests, and their commentary. As Dan Freisen recently told Will, he’s a great hater — he’s not vitriolic about it; he has fun with it. And his critiques of Bill Maher are just so much more insightful than anything Maher has said in years. Will helps me feel more sane for actually watching Maher sometimes… and the episodes with Diego genuinely have me laughing out loud.

  • Everyone is evil

    I like how this guy thinks anyone who doesn’t subscribe to my narrow DSA politics is ‘evil’ and morally bankrupt and should probably be sent to a gulag.

  • I Love Will Weldon

    This has become my favorite podcast and I look forward to it every episode. Will legitimately hate Bill Maher, and so do I. I love how upset he gets lol, and he's super funny in a grumpy way.
