  • They know what I’m thinking…

    I have the same conversations with a friend of mine. He recommended I listen to the podcast because it seems as if everything we say has already been said in this podcast. I now agree, so I can just stop having my own opinion now and listen to these guys. It’s so much easier that way.

  • Politically correcting Magnum

    This podcast would be all right if they weren’t constantly applying a politically correct lens over everything. I don’t need to hear about Magnum from the Soviet perspective.
