Great show. “Terrible.. we make it..” I get it. STOP. Commentary can be funny but I stop listening as soon I hear the JD jingle. I have no problems with the segment stop adding levity to it. Pretty lame.
This show’s content can be hard to swallow sometimes because of the political climate, but the hosts do their best to make us laugh. They never make light of a bad situation but do find ways to make it my digestible. The JD Vance corner is the best.
And Seena is right again. We are at war with Iran. :(
The jd vance section is great.
The JD Vance segment is my favorite - it writes itself. I’m constantly humming the ‘theme’ song. Looking forward to the merch.
Finally, news and insight I can trust. You’re doing a fine job gentlemen. Also, you have the best intro music :)
