  • So much yelling

    I don’t want to like Anthony Weiner, but he’s the reasonable person on this show. Dominic just yells and evades. I don’t think I’ve heard him answer a single question. I’ve listened to 3-4 episodes and I’m probably done. Did I mention that there’s too much yelling?

  • Straight no chaser

    Awesome podcast. Weiner has always been sharp as a tack, great to hear his thoughts on the election. I can’t stand Dominic’s ignorance and inability to criticize anything Trump does. Hopefully it doesn’t become unbearable.

  • I’m with this show until Dominic Carter is replaced.

    Dominic Carter is a clown and is not capable of reasoned debate. Mr Anthony Weiner needs an intellectual equal. This show has deviled into a complete waste of energy.

  • 30,000 reasons Biden isn’t doing well

    When a president actively enables a genocide he isn’t going to be too terribly popular. Come on Tony you know this don’t play dumb, oh Biden isn’t doing well even though the economy and jobs boo, quit killing kids.
