Reviews
- Too little content
I don’t really mind the tangents, but between those and the constant ads it feels like you hardly talk about the subject matter of the episode. And even when you do, the interruptions and derailings make it impossible to form a cohesive story or conversation around the subject. You do you, but it’s not my thing.

United Statesa month ago - Wow!
It seems these guys are getting way too political. Especially Ben. He thinks he knows about the right but he’s just a msnbc guy to the core. It’s very sad that you keep speaking down on the right in your subtle way. You keep speaking on project 2025 but you fail to actually take Trumps word at face value when he clearly states he is not following that guideline. Please look at the actual RNC and what they have been saying for months!! more
Apple Podcasts2meh_pshUnited States2 months ago - Ads Galore with Minimal Entertainment
Rather poorly scripted and dumb "witicisms". Became tedious after a few episodes Ads every few minutes.
Apple Podcasts2True RoninUnited States2 months ago - Commercials? Yes. Too many!
Love the hosts and the content! Hate the frequency and length of commercial breaks. Who made the decision sell ad time that would nearly equal episode length? Five ads at the beginning of the episode. Five ads five minutes in. Five minutes later? Five more ads! Am I exaggerating? Just a tad. You decide.
