Customer Reviews
Some bad takes, but still fun
I enjoy this show, although predictions like “Connor will be elected President!” are beyond silly, yet hosts seem to take such absurd takes seriously. Somebody really wanted that shark jump.
All the recent one star reviews from the Red Pill brigade seem orchestrated. I don’t write reviews of Ben Shapiro because upon reading his tweets, I know he is a racist, misogynist douchecanoe and I am thus not his audience. If it offends you that the writers of Succession and the hosts of this podcast think Alternative Facts media like Fox is a toxic carcinogen to politics and democracy, then turn it off and recruit Ravenhead to host one that doesn’t hurt your tender feelings.
I don’t always agree but
Enjoy hearing another view. Sometimes it makes me consider and appreciate a different take on the episodes. However, what I can’t take is the constant preface of “sort of”. Often several times in 1 sentence. Do you ever listen to your own podcast? It is beyond annoying. It’s clear you have no idea you’re doing it. Had to stop listening. It was too painful, sort of.
Political observation
I find it funny that the hosts don’t even pause for a minute to consider that some of their listeners might also be conservative. I suspect they live in this Vanity Fair echochamber where all they know is liberal groupthink. But you may want to reflect on all the Fox News bashing. They have good ratings because real people tune in. No need to alienate half of the country with your politics. That is all.
