And that folks is as close to the truth as anything else I've heard! Lovett is spot-on!

[Robinsos]

I love when Lovett goes off on his rants. He's just saying what everybody else is thinking.

[HUHBAT]

You go John Lovett! Not only do I agree with your statements, and unrelated and compatmentalized (kinda have a crush). Wish you and your significant other and your team the best! I’ve been voting Libertarian but the Republicans are SO off the rails I’ll be forced to vote a straight democrat ticket to help the pendulum swing back to a more correct angle.

Also check out Pod Save the World that is hosted by Tommy. It is another great podcast from this group. I seriously respect the information and interviews provided in the World podcast. A must listen for sure.

I wish these Pod Save America interviews were longer.

[adam-t]

These guys are my Xanax in the time of Trump.

[TrishTruitt]

"There's a big tub of Biden vanilla, let's just grab that and go home!" LOL

[TinthiaClemant]

America will be saved by our young voters. I have to believe this is true or it's time to call it a day.

[mizzymo]

I don't know what I love more about Lovett, his rants or his metaphors.

[lukawijk]

That yoghurt metaphor was just *perfect*
And when that guy dropped that knowledge on morally corrupt Republicans, by the end of it you could see him be all hyped and confident, like he was Eminem dropping some mad bars. #respect

[allnargles]

“Pretending that what is obvious isn’t real” Loved that phrase...

[elloco]

These guys talk sense. Unfortunately, that means at least 50% of the US electorate (and that's a conservative estimate) has no clue what they're saying.

Sadly or thankfully I’ll be finally tuning into these fine gents and their podcast. I last saw their interviews on Stephen and neglected to listen. But always appreciated the dynamic. The middle sneakers wearing chap had the vibrato of both his compatriots and the wherewithal to be deadpan millennial. He speaks to me on a separate level and so do all three physically and spiritually. The boy sitting next to Stephen attempts to be funny and when the audience doesn’t react to his jokes it’s personally affecting his psyche and his desire for humor begins to wane. He is of his own right appreciated and funny when he least expects it. But his friend with sneakers even picks up on this and offers and absurd metaphor where the audience erupts. Stephen being a master at his craft picks up on without a beat and spins a question and snaps us to reality with the boy who does entrance the crowd both in his endearing jokes if not his bold passion and no nonsense vindication of anyone who is against America funny or not. Seriousness will always be more appreciated stick to your guns. Let Stephen do the jokes. If you don’t land them don’t take it to personal. The audience is a whole beast. You’re charming either way. But cutie with the booty, Kennedy socks my love. So bright and idk handsome. It’s hard to listen to any of you without noticing your endearing quirks. From the teary eyes to the perfect pants hike up. Y’all three are a trinity I see holy enough. 🙏🏻

I'm not a big podcast person so I never heard of pod Saves America but I guess I got a new podcast because that was so good and so intelligent and so right on the money did I literally got chills

[DracoMalfoyable]

Looks like grabbing that container of Biden vanilla worked out in the long run for us 😂

[alwaysincentivestrumpethic]

I love Pod save America guys !! So right on the warren issue

[laurennya]

Definitely had to laugh at the flavor metaphors. I think Bernie Sanders would be mint chocolate chip, Warren would be peppermint, Pete Buttigieg would turn out to be sherbert, Beto some kind of maple flavor, and Trump would be...bees. That's all: Just live bees in your mouth.

[KimSearch]

That ice cream analogy was spot on!






PLEASE don’t go home with the vanilla!!!

[mentonerodominicano]

The analogy with yogurt and gay mayor about Pete was hilarious. 😂

Just a friendly reminder; Crooked Media, their website/news organization what have you, also has podcasts that you should listen to as well. Pod Save the People to get the perspective of people of color, Hysteria for the woman's (especially woman of color) perspective, and Pod Save the World so you can know things that are going on abroad. And no, they're not paying me to say this.
