  • excellent but do not criticize

    I remember Dana as the only reason to watch the tv show "working" and when he was dropped in the second season I bailed on that show. I have lsitened to probably all of these podcasts. But this is a revised review because there is a draconian group here that rejects with fervor even the remotest criticism. Woke mob indeed. No room for growth.

  • Apes and Monkeys

    Hey Dana, you would represent yourself as the intelligent person you are in a better way if you wouldn’t personify your ape persona as a monkey. Plus by doing so you are perpetuating the misinformation that apes are monkeys.

    Because even though, you Dana Gould may have a mutant tail, apes do not. Love the podcast. Keep your filthy hands off me you dirty ape.

  • Because you normalized Mike Murphy

    Mike Murphy confessed on Dana Gould’s podcast that Republicans paid off Black leaders to get their constituents not to vote. They chuckled over that.

    Comedians used to be truth-tellers.

  • Mid-show telephone debacle

    I love your show, buddy boy! I’ve been a fan of yours since before your podcast began.

    That being said, please never ever us telephone conversation audio again. It’s only slightly easier to discern what’s being said over two folks talking submerged in maple syrup. But, apart from that Dana, you’re good people.
