- Fun deep-dive trivia show
The diversions on this show are sometimes more fun than the stated topic of the show.

United Statesa month ago - Great but…
It’s definitely 5 stars but I just wish that at some point they would talk about my real interests: unique transportation vehicles, religious cults from the 1800s (preferably in upstate NY) or backpacking across Europe.
Apple Podcasts5Vanilla AdmiralUnited States2 months ago - Wanted to like this …
Wanted to like this but they kept referring to themselves as the “Joe Rogans of the LEFT”. Why does it have to be political? I wanted something apolitical, I don’t see why they have to criticize half the country to open each episode. They don’t even seem to align LEFT politics as LDS but whatever.
Apple Podcasts3JokiopoiUnited States3 months ago - Disappointing
Been listening for years but John is such a conservative, anti-sex, scared-dad, doddering prude, his shows are boring mainstream foolery that you could read in a newspaper. The number of words he struggles to pronounce are boggling, and his understanding of the world is pathetic.
