  • Ravi Has to Go

    The reboot of the show with Ravi was great for a long time. They had genuine conversations about how to talk to folks that could still be reached across the isle. But lately he’s been so full of himself. Two weeks in a row having to rant about Hasan Piker. He desperately had to get validation from Jason, who seemingly barely gave it to him. Then after a lot has come out about the situation and nearly all of the quotes being taken out of context, he’s completely silent. Then this week he wants 10... more

  • I tried

    I tried to listen to the recent episode to gain a perspective from the other side, but it was your typical Trump sucks at everything. He can’t do anything right. Then it spiraled down into a rant of f bombs, so I turned it off. It’s unfortunate that the dems have no positive platform to promote, so they stick with TDS.

  • The new Hassan piker show in Ravi’s head

    For two weeks in a row the most important topic in the world is a person I have never heard of. War in Lebanon? War in Iran? American authoritarianism? Nope. One most important topic with all the facts, all the time, all the energy. Please tell me all the demographic support and cross tabs about piker. Please. Now I can start my day. What a waste of a platform.

  • So over Ravi

    I loved the original idea of conversations on how to discuss topics with right wingers, but only Jason makes that connection. Ravi has become such an arrogant bro. Seems to be pro-funding-private schools but always “won’t get into it” to try to explain how that wouldn’t crush public schools. This week he attacked Crooked Media for having a guest he doesn’t like (Hasan Piker). Sure, Piker can be pretty inflammatory on his own shows, but this knee jerk purity testing is so damaging to the party. A... more

  • Friendly criticism

    Dude, I love this podcast, but it’s so much better when both Ravi and Jason are there. I don’t understand why Ravi in particular chooses to highlight the people/podcasters he does. It’s not helping us persuade friends and coworkers and family to join the majority. Tell more real peoples’ stories. That’s when you’re at your best. Less “here’s who’s fighting with whom on the airwaves.”
