Bob and Mary Lou are so lovable and Chad handles them with a clearly loving sense of humor. Haley is a baller too.
This is an enjoyable podcast where you can see oppositions try to come together and talk. The worst part about this podcast is honestly the dad. I have no idea why he’s even on the podcast. At least the mom loves her kids.
I listened to this podcast because of a clip I saw on TikTok, I stopped listening after ten minutes. I couldn’t take listening to the dad anymore, he’s one of the loudest, dumbest, and hateful magat in the maga cult. The mom isn’t as bad as the dad but she’s not much better.
Hello, I am literally at this moment subscribing to the podcast but have watched clips of it from video clips online for a little while now. There is something inherently healing when I listen to it. You have truly opened up pathways of communication I haven’t seen before. Especially considering the tumultuous time a lot of us have right now with our parents surrounding politics. Please keep going and I look forward to new episodes going forward.
The necessary conversation is so important because it really gives insight into how MAGA supporters think. Hailey and Chad have far more patience than I ever could. I’m not religious, but I pray things turn around in the U.S. Watching the wave shift here in Canada is honestly terrifying.
