  • Seek the Truth

    I Love this show!

    Started listening in 2016

    I feel like this show was made for me since the first Suck came out the day before my Birthday!

    Listen with an open mind.

    Don’t be overly sensitive.

    Enjoy what you can, forget what you don’t. -In other words “eat the meat and spit out the bones” because that bone is probably just Bojangles 4th leg!-

    Love the way he lays out the facts and makes the stories fun and interesting!

    Give it a listen

    Thank you... more

  • Not worth the listen

    This has been my favorite show for so long hard to let it go but episode 518 was my last one he use to be we to center as far as politically but anymore he is far left and only takes shots at the right which is fine but this use to be my favorite show to escape to and laugh to but now it’s just all political in radical ways.

  • Good content but so much foul language. Hard to hear it. Why add it?

    Terrible foul language with so many uses of the F word and many other profanities. I wanted to hear the great content but the swear words made it very hard to listen to it and I would not want it to be heard by anyone else around me. It seems so unnecessary and it made me cringe as well as think of how many minutes those filler words filled.
