  • I was a fan

    Tried listening again… Robbie’s buffoonery continues. He’s a purely biased political zealot and has not returned to his libertarian. I’ll try again in a couple of months, hoping that they replace him with a real conservative or real libertarian. The liberals on this show are difficult to listen to at times as well, but at least they are who they claim to be.

  • Robby is obnoxious, arrogant, and hard to listen to

    How is Robby still hosting this show? As others say, he is so smug and arrogant. I really feel for the various other hosts who have had to deal with him. Niles is so polite and kind. I would listen to this show more (and actually agree with plenty of Robby’s libertarian views), but I tend to turn off when he starts a rant. I’ve enjoyed most of the other hosts.

  • Worst Takes

    I can’t take it anymore, this person’s named Lindsey I think, is the worst. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard and her takes are dumb and Robbie is not fast enough to challenge her lies. I just can’t. Goodbye Rising

  • I was a fan

    Robbie - as a libertarian myself, I no longer recognize you as a libertarian. You are simply another hyper biased brainwashed buffoon. I also was disgusted by the previous administration, but you now are the very thing that you used to rage against… insufferable frankly. Boring and exhausting. I’m done unless you return to your roots.
