Customer Reviews
Entertaining and thoughtful
I love that Dave and Willie don’t fit the molds of conventional right and left. They are consistently thoughtful and sober when appropriate and at the same time able to throw the switch and make poop jokes… you know, like real people. I recommend this podcast often in conversation. 👍👍
Refreshing
I love listening to Dave and Willy talk about the hot topics that can often isolate us into categories of thinking or politics. They are an example of how I remember being able to talk through issues of the day growing up. Thank you guys! Continue on!
Excellent to share with friends
These guys do such a good job of broaching conversations that are at once light-hearted enough to share easily, and weighty enough to be worth sharing. I highly recommend this as a conversation starter with friends of various faiths, backgrounds, and persuasions.
