  • Trump’s annexation threats are not funny

    Today’s episode - Ryan was laughing at Trump’s comments. Not funny dude - he wants to invade us and it would mean war and thousands dead. Not a laughing matter.

One star review is to kind for this failed podcaster. I’m sure a homeless person could out debate him. Gilmore is available for another pitty party. Can you two... more
