  • Ugh, sliwa

    Normally love your show but I had to fast forward thru Curtis sliwa bloviating during his interview. I could not listen to his canned metaphors and righteous indignation.

  • Raging Zionist (Scott’s words not mine)

    It’s not often that somebody succeeds in looking down and speaking down to people “below” and “above”.

    This is truly rare and evidently from the shows popularity, a new gender that the masses find entertaining.

    Some words however “age” better than others, and in light of the worlds “pivot” on Isreal I am curious if Scott still associates his brand with Zionism.

    Endorsing Genie side leaves a lingering smell.
