  • No conversation happening

    Please kick Bob off already. So sick of him cutting everyone off, being rude, and contributing absolutely nothing. Not entertaining, just obnoxious. Find another MAGA capable of pseudo-intelligence.

  • Thought-Provoking but Increasingly Concerning

    I’ve been a listener of The Necessary Conversation and have found the family dynamic both fascinating and, at times, entertaining. However, I’m beginning to grow concerned about Bob’s behavior. His tone often comes across as deeply angry and dismissive, and it’s hard not to wonder if there are personality changes indicative of something more serious, like dementia-related shifts. While it’s clear that strong opinions are part of the show’s appeal, the level of hostility feels increasingly worris... more

Bob is an evil, sad sad confused man while the mom is a covert narcissist who plays on her children’s emotions to make them feel guilt for ... more

  • Sureeeee

    Yes, this would be a necessary conversation but these are some of the most uninformed caricatures of right wingers out there. Maybe that’s the point? But it is just a train wreck. This family needs therapy.
