Comedian Preet Singh is our correspondent this week. Preet is a literal comedy machine sometimes doing 7 gigs a day which, let’s be honest, is unhinged but makes him very very very good. They discussed more AI madness and whether it’s ethical to put ... more

Admire Cody’s bravery in standing up to the “powers that be” but he can be a bit grating sometimes. Simultaneously, I wholly support his views and what he represents. I guess two things can be true at once? I also don’t understand the ‘frozen in time enamoured facial expression’ in the presence of others (and I have a ASD diagnosis)! It’s hard for me to tell when he’s being himself and when he’s playing a character.
I enjoy the subjects and follow Cody D but the bickering and interrupting is difficult to hear. I had to turn off today when listening about the story on the new Elon Musk film. I wanted to hear the points being made but it was too screechy.
Love, love, LOVE Cody and this show! Always a chuckle and usually a loud guffaw in public. I am a boomer and know how Cody feels about us LOL but I still love him. Actually, he’s not wrong about many boomers. I grew up with an activist for a mother and followed in her footsteps. I have always been frustrated and disgusted by my peers who have enjoyed their privileged lives acting as though everything was fine. It wasn’t. I take a little pleasure in seeing so many of them FINALLY concerned about ... more
I started following Cody on instagram and I love this show. He is a better interviewer than talk show hosts on tv- I can’t wait to see where he goes in his career.
Really great podcast for a variety of news stories. Really funny too. Less bickering with producer Becky though please, it’s very stressful to listen to.
