  • Refreshing to hear Common Sense again!

    A true American who shares his talents of communication and expressiveness. Also, not scared to discuss the poisons in this country (aka, CRT, Stakeholder mentality, etc… (insert acronym here) ) which we must defeat to move forward as Americans!

  • Entertaining, Thought-provoking, and Memorable

    Mike and Chuck do a fantastic job when choosing and talking with their guests. I look forward to all their new episodes as the ones I’ve listened to a wonderful combination of entertaining, thought- provoking, and memorable. Also happy to support American companies they’ve highlighted like MKC and GORUCK. Thank you and keep up the great work, guys!

  • Slowly Falling Off

    I’ll always love Mike Rowe! Just his demeanor voice and good conversation. But here’s another interview where you side step the stupidity happening right now with the trumpsterfire tariffs. Not one mention while talking to a guy that guaranteed lost millions last week but ya really don’t want to bring up the reality of his disaster. Self censoring under the blanket of fake Christiantrumpism.
