  • The Best

    This is simply the best podcast of this kind that exists. Nowhere else do you get this mix of topics and this level of research combined with a truly entertaining product. Dan’s style might not be for everyone and he might occasionally piss some people off on either side of the aisle, but any other podcast I’ve been recommended in this genre fails spectacularly online up to the standard that I’ve come to expect after listening to Timesuck for years. 3/5 stars would t change a thing.

    Dan’s humor isn’t for the faint of heart, and the subject matter is often heavy; but no one works harder or creates better quality content.

  • Love This Show and its Creators!

    So much information packed into one show!! Dan and his wife Lynze (they host Scared to Death together) are amazing people who donate so much of their revenue to awesome causes. They have created an awesome community with their podcasts of weird, wacky, insanely kind humans. This is a great pod to keep your mind learning and laughing while embracing the dark side of humanity at the same time. Dan doesn’t hold back which bothers some, but I absolutely love and admire it! His stand up comedy is som... more
