  • Used to listen to this daily until I realized that this show is full of dog-whistle hateful rhetoric

    This show no longer provides any educational content other than having one cranky old white guy talking non sense all the time while berating his female co anchor and younger male co anchor. I cannot believe that CNBC employs a cranky old white guy to just berate his co-anchors. I showed this podcast to my kid to teach them what a toxic co worker would be like or be have like so when they grow up they know who to avoid in the workplace.

Even Joe Kernen, at his best, played a useful role — the contrarian who made guests d... more

  • Joe ruins the show

    I used to love this show. Joe makes it un-listenable/un-watchable lately. Kudos to Becky and Aaron for working so hard to dance around the partisanship and his moods. On to another show unfortunately…..
