I’ve been a follower of the podcast for a number of years but the politics and anti Elon stuff is getting old. Matt is such an Elon TDS cry baby it’s hilarious. Guy will ruin a whole episode to cry about Elon it’s weird. Have to take a break for a while but may give it a chance again at some point.
It’s unlistenable now
I’ve been listening to this podcast for over 7 years. Typically find Matt and Zack entertaining. After the Lieberman podcast I have had enough. IMO that is no way to treat a guest, had to unsubscribe.
Love May and Zack but this podcast is mainly for rich people to talk about their expensive toys
His pseudo-intellectual screeds about politics and the environment taint what could be fun petrol burning pod cast.
