  • Great Show

    Enjoy your episodes. Just listened to the one on When to Call Time on a Friendship. It is unfortunate what you went through. I am going through something similar now. Have always had a weakness for a certain friend who’s now down and out because of his own dissolution and has tried to use me as a financial shortcut repeatedly. I will spare you the details.

  • Finally something REAL!

    An authentic radio show since Howard Stern. Can't stop listening. This is what happens when people take everything you thought you knew about talk shows and blow it up. David and Tony V turn real life into a comedy bomb that makes you laugh. They also have interesting guests that talk about interesting things. Sometimes it gets silly but the dude is super smart. Highly recommend.

  • I like it!

    Listened to your overnight show on news talk 1010 radio, was a big fan. Love the podcast as well, brutally honest about your life, good and bad. Also love that you have some of your overnight guests , Tony Five and Dan Riskin and a few others on podcast.

    P,S. if you can get in touch with them, should have a podcast with all the regular callers from the overnight show.

  • There are still normal people in the US

    Always refreshing to listen to this. Restores the faith a little bit that there are still normal people who are not afraid to talk about things. Guess all the people in the US who are not afraid of swear words and naked feet are imports.

    Cheers David ;)
