Your narratives on Iran's issues are narrowed and inaccurate. You assess Iran 's situation like a normal country while Iran is not a normal country in any context. You think Iran is run by a normal bad state. But the reality is that is that the Islamic regime in Iran is destroying our beloved country to the ground. They are demolishing our land, our values,... OUR LIVES.

I appreciate y'all need to make money and pay the bills, but my oh my there is getting to be an awful lot of advertising in your content. At some point the ratio is going to go too far over the edge.

Truly a film to avoid. Who would write this? Who would watch it?

this debate does get ugly. I am so tired of being a "bad person" because I don't have kids. in too many peoples eyes it's okay to just put childless families down without recognizing how damaging it is. doesn't matter why "i" didn't, I just didn't ergo I'm a bad/unworthy person ....

disappointed in this episode. too much incorrect verbiage .... too mocking a poverty from the hosts. attempts at humored failed. and too little accuracy. very misleading. skip this episode. I'm not expanding on the why I am saying this but just the little knowledge I've gained from simply meeting multiple different bikers with very different mindsets .... yah, lots of misleading info. skip the episode for something newer - it'll hopefully be more accurate. too bad 👎

oh good ... making issues where there don't need to be. be polite - that's a human thing; or should be. not everything needs to be a feminist or chauvinistic thing. that's where this episode was turned into by the hosts. how soon before a different host cones in ... ? yes, I listen in numerical order most of the time. moving on ... get off my soapbox.

I always hope to not be able to hear the bias one way or another in an episode but the mocking tone shone through in this one. no go ... too big a topic to put so little effort into regardless of where an opinion might fall. the listener Mail had more of a non biased tone than the emphasis of the episode. disappointed ...

I'm going to get some judgement for this one, but I love this; it is a little bit of vodka, pickle juice, Sriracha and sparkling water. I had to get really creative...this guy sent me a bunch of pickles. That's a story for another day.

it's about damn time !!! Gee, not like they've been dragging their feet on this!! How about viagra for women also. scientists have always stalled out on everything to do with women. Men never wanted women in the medical field from the start.Go figure. Good thing they finally fought their way in or we wouldn't have what we do now.

My favorite tree is a sugar maple for two reasons.It sets the hills and valleys aflame with vibrant colors of red & orange in fall.Also produces the most wonderful syrup to put on pancakes for those crisp fall mornings. One cold brisk day a few years ago a beautiful woman kissed me under a huge stunning Maple and sent me aflame.

There was a fair chunk of this podcast where the hosts appeared to be describing a game I haven't played since 1976. No clue what the whole feminine charm thing was about, 'cause it was never in the rules. Y'all should reach out to the Three Black Halflings podcast for a joint session. That would be one killer show. A lot in common on this topic.
