  • Political opinions and a ton of amazing stories

    I’ve listened religiously for probably around 7 years. Listened to all prior episodes available. Watched his standup, Stan against evil, and Hanging with Dr. Z. Truly I loved all of Dana’s stuff. It’s just not enjoyable anymore. Every episode seems to be full of us vs. them politics. While listening I now find myself saying “I get it…my beliefs and core values lean the other way so clearly I’m a bad person”. I’m unsubscribing. Best of luck to Dana in all his future endeavors!

  • Too political

    Dana has lost his mind since Trump got re-elected and it affects every show now sadly. Used to be a fun listen.
