Gene and Tom are the best. The only reason I wake up in the morning can’t get enough for this show.
Omg so funny loved this..
Pure trash MAGAT supporter.
A blow hard who cuts people off and twists words. If he disagrees with you good luck getting a decent word in. Obviously has an agenda. Says he is after the truth but actually after his truth. I listen to try and hear both sides. Often call him names while listening because of the way he treats others. 3 star because I listen. 1 star and I would not listen.
Even though Gene has no idea how podcasts work I will give 5 stars for Tom. The show gives a daily report of domestic and international news with care and often sarcasm / humor. Well produced by a great cast of characters. The seagull army charges forward.
