  • Helium House Lady Has to Go

    The lady they had on that is going to fly a house is so irresponsible I couldn’t stand it. We’re in a helium shortage. I couldn’t stand her and needed her to not be taken so seriously. Worst then Lovett’s one episode on Survivor. Please get decent guests.

    Love the monologue. Kinda wish the guests/interviews were also political. Would be a good venue for politicians and pundits to let their hair down and show a silly side

  • Iconic

    Jon is an icon, full stop. His knowledge and delivery is incredibly impressive, his comedic talent is unmatched for what is technically a political platform. He has inspirational guests that are important to counter culture and main stream equally. Also an oasis for Lgbtqia+ community and allies that care about the state of this country. Important.
