I hope you intend to cove more Charlie Kirk than 4 mins. He did more in 31 yrs than any of us in 100 yrs.
TMZ, remember there is more than one side listening to you. (For Now!) Help change my mind!
I love this show - i find its messaging really important. But they made a memorial post about a white supremacist. So now I’ll have to look for a different show that does the same important work
4 minute segment on Charlie? Really? Compared to all your other Podcasts? This speaks volumes. He has done more in his 31 years than you will ever do. He deserves better. Unfollow…
I really enjoy the Last Days: TMZ podcast. It’s packed with interesting information, well put together, and always keeps me hooked. I look forward to every new episode each week—it’s become one of my favorites!
You all get a lot of things wrong most notably in your Luke Perry episode. His son’s name is Jack and 8 Seconds was from 1994. He was on 90210 at the time. Amazing film. Amazing man. Do better. ETA George Wendt didn’t portray Ditka in his SNL “Da Bears” skits. You guys gets some basic info wrong and show you’re not fans or respectful of those who are when you get stuff wrong
