I’m hooked after just one episode. This conversation sounds like my dad and I word for word (if I were able to last that long). I appreciate she is willing to participate. I’ve already accepted cutting ties with my dad.
As a moderate and a longtime Independent, I respect and appreciate the premise of this show so much. I was hoping to hear some thoughtful debate on the issues dividing “our United States,” to come away feeling some hope for reconnection over shared American values, and to maybe even get some ideas for navigating the chasm between my own right and left leaning family members. Unfortunately, the parents mentally struggle to process information or to actually answer a question. They get stuck in il... more
I listened to the Alex Pretti episode and that’s all I can take. I understand why this podcast exists; good on the kids for trying to talk some sense into their fascism-loving parents - but there are so many other things to listen to that don’t make me want to smash my head into a wall.
I changed my review from five stars to one star specifically for your mum.
I’m listening from Australia and feel disgusted at her victim blaming comments.
Hearing her talk about Alex Pretti, she’s the kind of woman that would blame another woman for getting assaulted because of “what she was wearing” or “why was she out at night”.
I’ve tried to listen and I’ve followed these guys on IG and other platforms. It finally occurred to me that all we are doing is supporting these hate mongers to have a platform. And the kids are simply monetizing their parents’ hatred, racism, homophobia and MAGA propaganda! I’ve unfollowed them now and hope that they have the day they deserve!
