  • Won’t Ever Leave It

    We all need this! If we don’t laugh and stick together, we will drift into despair.

    Love it. So quirky. So silly. Great guests.

    And, it encourages us to get involved. Get your friends and family registered to vote. Find new voters! Find joy in helping.

    Thanks to Crooked for all you do!

    BTW, put those data centers in the middle of nowhere! On unusable land. Away from people and animals - how about the desert!

  • Third Thoughts

    This is my favorite podcast and I apologize for the parasocial vibes. I just have an observation. I was SO psyched for Josh Johnson on here because I love him so much but that was awkward bad. Maybe he was too star struck and that’s not a judgement. Lovett has a weird but undeniable chemistry with Paula Poundstone. Best episode in a long while. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I guess my point is, you can’t manufacture an authentic vibe and we prob need more PP.

  • ★★★★★ — I have no notes, only feelings

    I came for a podcast and left with a personality. Lovett or Leave It is what happens when a guy who used to write speeches for a president decides that’s not enough chaos for one lifetime and gets a live audience instead.

    The panel is funny, the games are stupid in the best possible way, and the whole thing moves fast enough that you’ll miss your exit and not even be mad about it.

    Weekly, free, and consistently the highlight of whatever mundane task I’m doing while listening. Highly recommend.... more
