  • Fun show until the politics come in to play.

    Huge Grit fan and want to like this show because I do like Chaz and DLS, but I listen to them to escape politics. Literally every time I give it another shot I end up turning it off.

  • Noble Rotters

    Great to have another dose of these knuckleheads to get us through the week.

    Do you like questionable but entertaining takes on what passes for the “news of the day”? Or surprisingly salient insights on the truly inane? These are your guys.

    Glad to be in on the ground floor while the new format gets its legs under it.
