  • Let the guest speak perhaps.

    Hey Nick how about shutting up a bit and letting the guest talk?? Just a thought. We sure would rather listen to I Dream of Jeanie references rather than what Justin Amash says. Right, right, hmmm, right, oh here is a bunny trail listen to me….right, right…now I will ask a question with a really long explanation…right, right. Good lord. Watch some Larry King and let your guest speak.

  • A reason not to listen

    Interesting conversations on pertinent topics, if only Nick Gillespie could let his guests finish a single sentence without incessantly interrupting and interjecting with his monologuing.

  • Rise of the MAGA Manosphere

    The interview was very enlightening and astoundingly revealing about how much in the dark these two men are and how they are attempting to justify themselves.

    The experts are not trusted simply because they have a very long track record of not being trustworthy.
