  • Can’t do it anymore…

    He always subtly throws in his political views and thinks no one is smart enough to understand what he’s doing. This dude truly thinks he’s smarter than you. It’s become unbearable. I can no longer listen.

  • Mostly entertaining

    The interviews are typically great and entertaining. Guests are from different backgrounds and offer various views. However, mailbag episodes show a heavy nauseating left lean, with no rebuttal or alternative view. Please consider having someone to bounce back other sides of the news topics, I feel this would be a better, balanced discussion. Otherwise, great show!

    If you think like Matt Jones and act like Matt Jones then this might be the show for you. But if you ability to think, and reason you will quickly see that Matt is nothing but a narcissist who has one agenda and one has to make him the self appointed know all be all. Do yourself a favor and go listen to Joe Rogan.
