Customer Reviews
Da
Dawg!
Pivot away
This has been a must-listen for me for years but Scott’s views on the genocide in Gaza and Kara’s silence and unwillingness to challenge him has made the show completely unlistenable. Very sad to unfollow but I can’t take any of his takes seriously after hearing his pro-Israel propaganda on every show and increasing in length as time goes on.
Shut up, Kara.
You talk over Scott. You just say “ANYway” and interrupt him. No one wants to hear about your FOUR kids.
