    Rein Jake back in, please.
    He’s outed himself as dangerously stupid and there’s a concerning amount of “liberals are actually worse” takes from him & guests over the past year.

    Prison
    Check out Ron Mele’s wife. He’s in prison n for Jan 6 and she’s internet begging for money to pay for food and living expenses while her “patriot” husband is away. Somehow she can afford Botox and two golden doodles. Go figure.

    A great listen
    Really dislike liv…voice is annoying and she just isn’t it. Hilarious. Highly recommend. All the one stars are Q whackos. Would like less liv though if possible.

    Julian ruins the show
    This went from being my favorite podcast, to being unlistenable. Travis really needs to start his own podcast and make sure he doesn't involve anybody from this podcast. The difference between the content he creates, and the garbage from everybody else is jarring. Julian is maybe the most miserable person in the world, and his worldview is deeply offensive to anyone who actually cares about the future. The constant jokes about violence, especially considering he couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper sack, got old fast. Now it seems like that is the only thing he has to offer. Telling people to kill themselves, or saying that he wants to kill them isn't cool or useful or funny. I'm extremely confused about why he even continues podcasting. This show missed such an opportunity. They were the first, and had the potential to become the definitive guide to all things QAnon. Instead, they lost all direction and let Julian describe every violent fantasy he's ever had. I wish Travis the best of luck, because he's the only one of these people who seems to actually care about the world.

    Had enough
    As a “recovering Republican” I wanted more insight into the Q-Anon crazy so many people in my family and associated acquaintances seem to be falling victim to (even if they weren’t reading actual Q-Drops). The show was already over 600 episodes deep when I picked it up, and decided that I wanted to hear the most current stuff, having gotten an idea of who Q was through some great documentaries. I did get some good information at first and was looking forward to the show helping me see how the alt-right crapulence was poisoning people I love and arm me to help them see. But it has become apparent that they don’t understand everything about the Evangelical church that these extremist radicals have co-opted. There are a lot of us who reject Christian Nationalism outright, and believe strongly that our role in the world has no business in politics. While these faux-evangelicals believe the left is Antichrist, a close look at the Bible they aren’t reading says that Christian Nationalism is Antichrist. Anyway, the flippancy and mockery these otherwise fine podcasters engage in makes it clear that I’m not welcome in their world any more than I am the world of the MAGA. I’ll stick to Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know from here out.

    Appalling racism
    I am a central leftist and I thought this podcast would be an interesting and grounded podcast. Boy was I wrong. This podcast is no better than the far right crazies that they despise. The three episodes I listened to were extremely unhinged, and not in a good way. Info Wars for extreme leftists is how I’d describe this show. Would not recommend.

    It’s official, cast for crybabies
    You have lost another longtime listener/supporter. Now that we all get to see who you really are, it just further offends me, as you have been ACTING like adults, but now have digressed into biased, knuckle dragging crybabies. Enjoy watching your membership continue to decline.

    Lost its Mojo
    I’ve been listening to this since after the pandemic and saw QAnon rise. Loved it. However, lately, it’s lost its mojo. Julian is very aggressive and mean-spirited. Without Jake, you wouldn’t take his remarks as jokes. Travis, Jake, Liv are enjoyable but I can’t take Julian’s mean behavior any longer. And the topics haven’t been all that appealing since they changed. If you want to listen to some great content, you can listen to their older stuff. It was great while it lasted. Good wishes.
  • Mark Cuckerberg
    offensive
    constantly making jokes about killing people, or making jokes about suicide are just so crass and offensive. it’s not funny and it doesn’t add anything, especially when it comes from someone who’s openly talking about their struggles with addiction. i’m done with the show, the “put a gun in your mouth if you think the pictures are AI,” was just too far for me. shocking that you think it’s funny or that i should have to hear that. i’m trying to listen to a podcast and u have some guy saying “put a gun in your mouth,” in my home. ha-ha.

    Just found you thru The Black Pill
    Can’t say enough of this amazing episode with Elle Reeve! So many scary strands pulled together in a brilliant telling of truths that are hard to hear! Can’t wait to listen to the show regularly!

    Funnest Sad Reality
    Great content of terrible things delivered by awesome people are are cool and neat.
  • Michael Doomberg
    Slowing down at the car accident
    Thanks to my addiction to this witty and simultaneously distressing show, I am no longer in a position where I can reasonably make fun of my wife over her love of true crime content. Thanks a lot.
  • rockin_balme
    So great
    This show is better than any words I have. It’s great.
  • tardigrade42
    Not as relevant
    This was once a very important show, but Julian and Jake have always annoyed me. Travis should drop them and start his own show.
  • Smurfkisser17
    Caviezel brought me.
    Such a great episode! I was both delighted and horrified. Thank you!
  • snuffleupagusAMA
    Miss the old intro music!!!!
    the Enya type music just doesn’t match the content at all. I’m sorry boy
  • GG from Seattle
    Getting better.
    For awhile the show seemed to have lost its identity but it seems to be getting back on track. I’ve had a love-hate relationship with the direction of the show. I think they have listened to concerns and gotten much better. Love all 3 of the hosts and common contributors Annie and Liv. Thanks all.
  • Danny McVey
    Cynical, mocking content
    There are few podcasts that cover fringe politics and conspiracy theories in a way that is both informative and empathetic to the human condition. This is not one of those podcasts. Steer clear unless you’re looking for an echo chamber with a hyper cynical twist.
  • Amanda Boike
    Someone Else's Update
    Used to be a favorite but since the addition of Liv, an even dearer favorite.

    Entertaining/thoughtful take on an important issue
    Used to be a good balance between humor and analysis of a nonsensical but frightening phenomenon. My main issue is that it’s cringey to hear the nihilism / both sidesing of American politics and making excuses for bigotry (Julien). So much grace for someone like Chansley who, yes, is unwell and a victim, but also an adult who has dedicated his life to taking away my rights. Take your platform seriously and try to find some nuance because now you’re “the media” too. Look into victim perpetrator models. Apparently they think the left is bad because Biden mumbles and Jake saw someone say something mean on Facebook. Great take, guys. If you think both sides are the same, you’re not paying attention. Edit: one of the regular guests (Ken k) has appeared on Steve Bannons war room. Concerning given the above mentioned horseshoe theory issues and the well explored left to right pipeline. Please explain.

    Good job people!
    This podcast never fails to exhibit a coherent critique of the dominant society especially of it’s growing lunatic fringe. As QAnon dissolves into the GOP swamp, the crew of QAnon Anonymous describe the variety of false consciousness that plaques a vast population of idiot voters. May their investigations precede brilliant days!
  • Bazilmani
    Overrated
    Often has bigoted takes from an extremely narrow subset of society, and I don’t understand the popularity. No low hanging fruit goes untouched and it’s overall quite insufferable.
  • CokedUpSpaceCoyote
    The pill is Black
    No intenet for anybody.
  • Bert Shurch
    You know?
    Jake I love the podcast! Listen to yourself please stop saying “you know” it’s a tick it’s excessive thank you.
  • changagarcia
    Update
    Used to be a favorite but since the addition of Liv, the quality has gone downhill.
  • JP Lovecraft
    Love this show
    This program really helped me get through lockdown and I’ve been listening ever since. Always a great listen.
  • Minecraft_Zapolator
    Hosts need to get a grip
    I used to listen to this show religiously, but now it is difficult to listen to because of frequent suicide jokes. Although telling people to kys is pretty common on twitter and tiktok these days, it is super off putting to hear this stuff coming from someone’s actual voice. This doesn’t make you cool or edgy, or even meaningfully damage the people you are talking about, it just normalizes suicide to your potentially vulnerable audience. The hosts seriously need to get off of twitter and think about using their sizable platform more responsibly.
  • todsilla
    Always entertaining
    Who would’ve guessed that the entire GOP would become pilled by QAnon. Crazy times require podcasts, and I’m always refreshing my feeds for new episodes.
  • claireschaef
    I’m sorry boy!
    this podcast is a well-researched, self-aware, and thorough journalistic endeavor, but what I really enjoy about it is how the hosts are able to consistently bring humor into truly depressing topics without being insensitive. the show’s perspective is largely empathetic to regular people who are affected by whatever mutation of qanon we’re living through now, but is always bitingly critical of the people in power who facilitated it. I love how the show has evolved and expanded over the years into different niches, and the miniseries are definitely worth the $5 patreon subscription imo. also I have tried very hard not to form too much of a parasocial attachment to the hosts while listening to the back catalog, but it’s tough because Jake Rockatansky is truly babygirl
  • wifibecausefi
    My favorite podcast
    Nuff said. I find myself re-listening to episodes. Not sure if that speaks well of the pod or poorly of myself. Regardless, give it a listen. BTW - Julian, you are loved… don’t listen to the haters.
  • CitizenP13
    Wow... This is Awesome!
    I can't believe how great this podcast is. It's perfect. It is the perfect 'cast. I love to listen to shows about how unhinged the right is, but if those shows are delivered too seriously, I get anxiety (being black in America is horrifying enough without knowing exactly how this disgusting, white nationalist sausage is made). This 'cast strikes the ideal balance between information on the bowel-looseningly terrifying political climate in the US and levity, wit, and satire. I can't overstate just how much I enjoy it. Thanks, people!
  • tylermiami
    Omg
    This show has fallen off so bad, use to be funny informative now they just have to both sides everything, trump wants to get rid of democracy but hey Obama made a bad movie and Biden mumbled so you know both bad and Julian is unlistenable, your not funny or witty
  • roonslaughter
    Painfully biased
    Matching wits with some of the dumbest people on earth, these show hosts don’t understand they have become the same thing they judge/claim to hate. Just more trash, faux journalist, mouth breather pontification.
  • RondyR
    Worthless.
    Pro-Palestine, pro-pedo shills who exist for no other reason than to spread disinformation, and they’re not even any good at that nor are they amusing. Don’t waste your time - your time is far more valuable than this.
  • Em5555
    Stopped listening & Subscribing
    I used to enjoy this show. Found it interesting and appreciated the host's perspective. But the show quality has taken a deep dive into inappropriate jokes. Julian is plain annoying.
  • The proletariat87
    Worth the money
    These guys are amazing! The deep dives into thorny or weird subjects. I’ve been able to understand the authoritarian right’s conspiracy theories from people that I have to interact with daily. Plus as a lefty libertarian (civil libertarian economic market socialism) I appreciate their political views without shoving it down your throat. Well done guys! I have a couple stories about my own interaction with these people like one of my bosses.
  • gene_parmesan_2021
    Highly recommend
    Endless laughs and also genuinely good reporting
  • mich888888888887
    Had to stop listening
    The show needs an editor willing to cut the self indulgent bits, like Julian threatening to murder someone 40 times every episode, or Julian expounding on a subject he has no expertise in to the point of screaming, or Julian expressing “ironic” bigotry. The show is basically impossible to listen to when he’s feeling energetic
  • No hipster
    Bazooka Bananas
    Great deep dives into conspiracy theories and the people who perpetuate them with their trademark wit and comical tangents, it’s a good time. They have a good slate of guests and regular contributors. Jake, we want the old you from five years ago.
  • Joenicknamethatisnottaken
    Spectral Voyager!
    Just finished all the spectral voyager eps. Was on a dark night run listening to the last one and it sent chills down my spine, really freaked me out. Great work, please do more spectral voyager! I want more cryptids’s, ghosts, psychics and time travel pleeeeease!

    Really good, interesting show. The early episodes are a little rough but they really hit their stride when Travis comes on permanently.
  • AustinRT995
    Starting The Whole Thing Over
    Came to the show a little late, so I’ve been listening to current episodes as they come out while going through the old episodes from the beginning, and I recently finished listening to pretty much everything, and I’m considering melting my brain some more by re-listening to the entire podcast from the beginning again. I consider this podcast to be one of the most important, but also entertaining, journalistic/documentarian works I’ve ever come across, and it all started with two idiots and Travis View.
  • JonnConstantine
    Suicide isn’t funny
    I like this podcast a lot and have learned so much here. But the latest episode, “Leave The Obamas Behind” starting off with jokes about suicide aren’t funny. I’m not calling for anyone to be cancelled, just a realization of the weight your words carry here, and how many people lose loved ones to suicide. I’m currently a grad student working on my Masters in Clinical Mental Health and I’m very disappointed that you couldn’t find any other way to make fun of the Obamas because those jokes are harmful.
  • Bluecanary84
    So good!
    Any way to get all the Patreon content in the main feed here on Apple? Man that would be awesomd
  • mistergraham4
    Great Pod
    Amazing podcast. Consistently funny. I highly recommend subscribing to the patreon to get access to the bonus episodes.
  • Fancy_King
    Best Pod Around
    Seriously, the show absolutely rules. Now, serious question: Which 1-star reviewers are worse? Right wing weirdos who love Q and are mad or liberal weirdos who have very specific problems with the hosts’ voices or humor or use of place holder words? Tweet at me in my webgroup.
  • Gliiiiiitttttt
    Ok
    EDIT: Changing it to 5 stars because that’s how much I support Liv. I like Travis the most of the regulars. But the gems are the episodes with Liv (who actually researches and knows her stuff) and/or Annie (I think it’s her name...the British woman). More of those. I’m much more likely to listen to those episodes. Lol at the conspiracy theorists’ reviews ... get tinfoil hats. Extra star for those.
  • Hetty
    I will not stand for Liv slander
    I see reviews complaining about Liv's episodes being too weird. I will not stand for this. Liv is the best of us and must be protected at all costs #LetLivCook
  • JIM_FEAR_
    Fantastic Podcast
    The crew have great rapport, the content is well researched, and the comedy is absolutely in my irony poisoned wheelhouse.
