    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.

  • Very funny and informative

    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

  • Cody so clever & funny- guests are great!

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LIVE! Jen Brister: Far Right F*ck Up, West Bank Settler Sanctions and Trumps $5000 Pledge
Q: How does the panel view media trust in this climate, and what should listeners consider when consuming news?
Listeners should diversify sources, question narratives, and rely on independent journalism while recognizing that even trusted outlets can be biased or limited in scope.
LIVE! Jen Brister: Far Right F*ck Up, West Bank Settler Sanctions and Trumps $5000 Pledge
Q: Why do you think Trump felt the need to promise $5,000 to voters, and what does that say about the midterms?
It's a brazen, symbolic appeal aimed at energizing his base; it signals desperation and a strategy to mobilize voters rather than a fiscally sound policy plan.
LIVE! Jen Brister: Far Right F*ck Up, West Bank Settler Sanctions and Trumps $5000 Pledge
Q: Jen, what are your initial thoughts on the UK sanction announcements for West Bank settlements?
They're a positive step and show a willingness to hold settlements accountable, but they're not enough on their own and don't fully disrupt the broader system of support behind the settlements.
Gianmarco Soresi: New Silent Roller Coaster Ruins Lives, Meta Landmark Deal & Poisonous Starbucks Drink?
Q: What's your final headline?
Starbucks drops drink powder that envelop baristas in clouds of dust, causing health concerns.
Gianmarco Soresi: New Silent Roller Coaster Ruins Lives, Meta Landmark Deal & Poisonous Starbucks Drink?
Q: Could you deliver your second headline?
Meta to pay up to $17.1 billion in landmark settlement over social media addiction claims.
