American Fever Dream

I really appreciated the thoughtful convo Sami had w the Reid on today’s (2/6) ep. The questions were legit and I noticed how to the point and short the interview was and loved that

I’m a longtime listener and used to love this podcast- and still love it most of the time, especially Sami’s deep knowledge… but— I was genuinely APPALLED at V’s just absolutely ridiculous comments about people from the UK. Am I listening to a right wing podcast?! Is it okay to make hateful, nationalist comments about folks in the UK? This was the most bizarre take yet. I am honestly shocked they even left that in as I melted from secondhand embarrassment. Ugh. I’m a democrat but this is exactly the kind of hypocrisy that turns people off from the left. You go so far left that you’re actualky completely illiberal. Anyways, as the kids say… do better. Thank you Sami for your maturity and calm, tactful response to what was just gross behavior.

On today’s episode (1/20) you showed how you’re not for the truth but just care about your reach and platform on TikTok. You spent an obscene amount of time dunking, again, on Biden about his weakness and deliberately chose to make no mention, whatsoever, of TikTok capitulating to Tr*** propaganda and explicitly thanking him and mentioning his name on the shutdown that was clearly a stunt. You even try to defend TT because “Biden didn’t say 3 words” Really?? Such shameful cowardice !! You won’t call out TT because you’ll rather keep your paycheck from there and look away as they become a propaganda arm of the new regime. I’ve tolerated Sami’s nasal “valley girl” accent and her hatred for Biden and V’s constant interruptions overtaking and monopolizing the conversations because I thought you at least had integrity but you clearly don’t. Unfollowed.

Looooove this, especially the combo of Sami and V! The banter is top tier & they make an overwhelming and scary politic climate easier to navigate. Plus they’re hilarious!! Big fan of the pod- please keep up the good work!
