  • Bottom of the Barrel Geezer Teaser Rage Bait

    I unfortunately stumbled across the live show and was immediately struck by how this show is the lowest rung on the rage bait media ladder. It feels like the audio equivalent of a rage room for the elderly as its host plays on their fears, rage and inability to understand an ever-changing world.

    One of the segments I had the misfortune to listen to was about crime stats presented by a city politician. The host and a very passionate if not slightly unhinged guest talked about how this politicia... more

  • Absolutely determinative quite frankly

    John and Randy are the best, not a joke. We aren’t talking about no wobbly knees allies. These guys are the real deal. Period. Full stop. Huh. Eh. Huh. Absolutely absolutely one of the best shows to listen to. They’re so hot they could melt a basketball court. They’re so smart they know is the cashier is dummy. John’s a fan of pippy long stocking Madonna or something and Randy loves Santa Fe and wine. The best 3 hours of the day followed by Randy’s show at 5. Day one listener from the Randy wang... more

  • Spot on!

    John and Randy keep us informed on California news and politics. They bring in great guest speakers that share their knowledge of their particular experiences and expertise. John keeps us laughing at the right times and serious at the right times. I find myself laughing in my car and much more in tune with the daily news of today.

  • Funny

    This is the only way to listen to johns show. I used to listen to the lve broadcast however the show seems better as a podcast as the host seems to be on vacation more then he is on air. His cohost randy is a great in his own way but his role as #2 makes the show great and not so good when he is solo. Basically when john is there i listen. When he isnt i go “on vacation” too.
