Customer Reviews
Trumpers Hate This
The fact that literally every negative review here comes from a MAGA chud is the best recommendation to subscribe that I can think of!
Decent
Decent show made by smart guys who know more about these topics than I ever will. They basically entertain an alternative theory about these topics, explain why it doesn’t make sense, and then drive home the mainstream narrative. If you’re looking for thoughtful/intelligent discussion challenging narratives that we intuitively know don’t make any sense…..this isn’t what you’ll find here.
Great!
More please! I really enjoy this!
