  • These guys are children

    These dudes have literally lost all credibility in my opinion. Andrew is out here talking on podcast like a person with a low IQ. These dudes have a large audience and do a piss poor job of being responsible adults. I get that it’s a pod cast and they are idiots that sometimes say smart things but with the amount of influence they have they should really do more to educate themselves on topics they talk about. They act like because they have some money they are immune from what goes on. These du... more

  • They had a Great Run!

    I’m a day one listener and over the years it was great to hear these 2 evolve into who they are now. Unfortunately the time has come for me to unsubscribe from the content. It’s clear they have taken on the responsibility to entertain topics that are no longer original to them and their audience; and more so push the narrative for topics that involve agenda’s. To keep it simple, the brilliant idiots have grown to be just the brilliant guys!
