  • low information, high noise waste of time

    This guy is a clown constantly honking a horn like Harpo Marx without hair or humor. Show has some good guests like John Rothman & David Cay Johnston but he is not smart enough ro do anything but blather & move on to stupid podcast tricks .

    if you like wasting time tMTS is your kind of show where you end up dumber for having watched it.
