    Peter and Eric are smart and funny. The way they relate to each other is a pillar of the show. Eric’s humor and quick wit is fantastic. Every episode I hear insight I don’t get anywhere else and they always cover the most current and relevant topics which makes this a must-listen podcast. And it’s short which makes it much easier to consume.

  • Chafetz vs Epstein

    I really liked hearing from Jason Chafetz! He's so smart and excited to hear about his book. Did not care for the Epstein with Schoen. What about the flight logs? What about the black book Maxwell supposedly had? And since FBI has hidden evidence recently per Kash Patel- why is anyone ready to call it a day?
