  • Love the Variety of Guests

    I appreciate how you talk to everyone but sometimes you interrupt the guests so much you don’t let them get their point across. One example is Monica Church’s public transportation pitch. She makes valid points and you throw in California stories. I come from CA too, but my mom is an Idaho native and we’ve been back for 32 years.

  • High quality, low effort

    I appreciate the focus being put on Idaho but Matt’s approach of “just asking the questions” doesn’t do him any favors. Conversations are often one-sided and he is easily convinced of what his guests say, regardless of the veracity of their claims.
