  • More shrinking please.

    I really wish they had kept to their expertise and just analyzed trump’s psychology. They aren’t qualified to do political punditry, but have unique qualifications that the political pundits don’t have. They lost their way.

  • A great podcast that is suffering due to ads.

    The podcast- great. These guys are informative. I love the clinical approach, and listeners need to remember this is from a psychological perspective but ALSO an opinion chat. The mixture of the two does not make opinion fact, that being said… I do agree on 98% of all.

    The ADs - I really wish they would get a timing set for ads. I get an ad LITERALLY mid word or mid sentence. I get an ad within the 2 min opening intro. It’s VERY distracting and makes it irritating when you are getting into it... more

    Trump’s drawing on his card for his best buddy Epstein is a girl with developing breasts, not a mature woman - this is their sick, perverted secret.
