  • My Fridays were so sad when I couldn't listen to "garbage people of the week". My Fridays are now awesome, now that "garbage people of the week" is back! The rest of the episodes are pretty great

  • I love John, moved to TDR when I just couldn't take the main show anymore, but lately I keep getting a blackout every 30 seconds, presumably because that's where they wanted to insert ads but didn't. When ads work, way way too many. My only gripe with John himself, please stop saying "AI Slop" and jumping on the all AI is bad bandwagon. It's like Cenk and Ana with military pay and inner workings... you're ignorant on the subject. Please inform yourself or just stay out of it!

  • Iadarola is the 🐐

    This is the only TYT podcast I still listen to. John Iadarola is a delight. His humor makes the heavy news cycles feel less hopeless while his insights are pretty much spot on.

Trump's Frail Mary
Q: What do you make of all this?
Trey Crowder says threats against the media and election-related intimidation are alarming, while noting that Politico's resistance may indicate the administration is losing some of its leverage.
The Leopards Are Self-Cannibalizing
Q: What do you think Fox News would say if Kamala Harris had said, maybe we'll ban fishing?
The host asks the guest to consider media reactions to provocative policy remarks, highlighting how political rhetoric and media framing shape public perception.
Todd Blanche Is A [REDACTED]
Q: What is your take on the current handling of the Epstein documents?
The host-and-guest discussion portrays the redactions as insufficiently transparent and argues that the public deserves full disclosure, with criticism aimed at Blanche for defense of limited releases.
Lose The War, Spin The Battle
Q: What do you make of the status of the Iran war and the claiming of a near-end to hostilities?
The discussion emphasizes that while officials and public figures claim progress toward an open Strait and a peace deal, there is substantial uncertainty and competing narratives about whether any ceasefire or open passage is truly in place, making the 'end' of the war hard to verify.
