This show is great. Matt and Zack are very knowledgeable and cover interesting topics. The reviews from the Trump-kool-aid conservatives don’t accurately portray this podcast.
Dude I got off boomer Facebook and millennial Reddit because I was sick of politics. I don’t care what you think about trump. This is how you lose 50%+ of your audience.
Listening to Doug yawn everytime Matt keeps trying to talk about the 918 is priceless. Doug knows this constant Porsche obsession is played out and it’s wrecked Matt’s channel.
Enjoy the content, the 10+mins of adverts per show are really boring. Yes I fast forward but find them disruptive.
Matt Farrah was a great journalist that was objective and entertaining. Unfortunately he’s fallen into the anti Trump politics. I’m hear to learn about the latest cool Porsche, or your aircraft powered dune buggy. I am NOT here to listen to a rant about Trump, Elon Musk, or Tesla, EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. I’ll probably check back in after a couple years, but for now it’s an unfollow from me.
