  • Too bad…

    If I wanted to hear about politics I would have searched for a political show. I listen to podcasts to get away from the constant barrage of political content pervasive on social media and TV. I really enjoyed this show until the rant about ICE. There are plenty of True Crime shows out there that keep their political leanings to themselves. I have unfollowed and won’t listen again.

  • Point made, plot lost

    Yeah yeah, we get it. You hate Christians and you hate white people. Just tell the story already.

    Also, I’m the son of a legal immigrant AND the husband of a legal immigrant. Woohoo! My virtue signaling tops your virtue signaling : } Now explain what on earth that has to do with supporting illegally entering a foreign country and remaining there?

    And there is absolutely no credible evidence that supports a 50% chance of dying from being in a ketamine coma; it’s a completely unsubstantiated sta... more

  • ICE ICE BABY

    Nice propaganda! You’re against ICE? You mean the people who make sure that immigrants are properly vetted and are here legally? I LOVE immigrants, but I also love when our laws are followed. You wouldn’t ever expect to go live in any other country without proper paperwork. What a joke of a woke podcast. Illegal immigration is why we have a housing shortage! Rates would go down and free up affordable homes if people were here legally. Duh.
