  • Open to pseudoscience

    Used to enjoy this show a bit, but some of the content lately has been really promoting pseudoscience (telepathic Suzy Miller). I find it concerning. My recommendation is to be picky with which episodes you listen to.

  • It changed for the worse

    I used to love this podcast until it went woke. You guys think you’re so much better than Trump. The truth is you make him look like a saint by comparison. Practice what you preach. Stop being so crazy and wake up to the mess you are creating with your self righteous insanity.
