    State of Deez Nuts

    State of Deez Nuts

    Fear is the mind killer, but Lovett is the kind thriller, in this week’s episode. The State of our Union is strong, and so are Max Silvestri and Ron Funches who stop by to put the “dad” in dad jokes. Kid Fury and Marcella Arguello bring the heat on some hot topics, and Lovett and his guests stand tall as they defend Panda Express, average-sized femmes, and life being over at 40.

City Councilwoman Nithya Raman discusses what it takes for a progressive candidate to get progressive policies passed in today’s political climate. And we end our show with a leap of faith, though not necessarily in our ability to read and understand expiration dates.

Love love love

I look forward to listening every week. I appreciate the smart, sometimes self-deprecating humor.

Stop the Misogyny

I absolute love this show, and listen to every episode, but I am not here for they Taylor Swift slander. If you have only heard her radio singles you have absolutely no place to speak to her vocal range. Stay in your lane and do your research before joining in on the misogynistic hate.

EMO Philly ,

Love it, Lovett!

I am always happy when listening! Lovett always makes me laugh and I love Kendra! Keep up the great work!!
