I’d heard these guys on MK and always enjoyed them, so I finally checked out the show this afternoon. I listened to 3 episodes and laughed the whole time! Informative AND hilarious!

Kamala’s new book title
“The Brief Period in Our Time of Showing The American People How Our Essence and Fortitude as the Possible Next President Would Allow Us to Show Them the Possibilities of Our Great Strengths and Many Perceived Weaknesses, Which Are Actually the Faults of the Many Terrible Garbage Humans Who Support The Fascist Dictator Orange Man”

Not bad
I love the show except for the unnecessary (and seemingly intentional) cursing. I don’t see why it’s necessary. I could listen to every episode all the way through except for that. Ephesians 4:29

Crude/Crass Language
Hey guys, I love the fact that you’re fresh onto the podcast scene and bringing reality. However, I must take issue with the “F” bombs, use of 4-letter words, and other words and phrases that are really it suited for those of us who want to hear “wholesome” commentary. I’m going to give you guys some leeway and time; however, in my opinion, the unsavory language has to stop. Today is July 31st. I attempted to listen to your podcast once again, but found “F” bombs multiple times and found it quite offensive. I’m shocked that well-educated professionals such as you have to devolve into such crude words. I’m not sure my review will change your use of offensive language. I’m going to listen to one more podcast. If I hear this offensive language, then I’M DONE. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to share my thoughts. 8/1/25 - Okay guys, more “F” bombs today along with other crude 4-letter words. I’m done. No longer following your podcast. I think I’ve given you an opportunity to fix this issue. If you want to wallow in that mire, have at it.

Fit Conservatives
In the spirit of the left going nuts over conservatives being fit, I created a Peloton riding group called “Ruthless Progrum” so we can celebrate being fit together (or at least we’re trying) … Also, Peloton is full of woke hashtags and I’m sick of it … keep up the great work, no better podcast on earth!

Ruthless indeed!
How much fun and analysis can you pack into one podcast? This is a must listen.

Betrayed by lying elected Republicans, and in this case, appointed Republicans. If they lie about this issue, how can we trust them on any important issues. Today’s Republican Party has become the CCP of the United States. One party rule supersedes everything else. tinyurl.com/lhbetrayed

Politics CAN BE FUN!! 😎
Once upon time before COVID I was a Democrat and regretfully listened to the Pod Save America boys. Like most sane people, my eyes were opened over the past few years and the Ruthless guys bring fun and laughter to staying informed during this crazy time in the world. Thank you guys!! Keep up the great work! Megyn Kelly and Dave Rubin still are on my podcast listening agenda: Megyn for deep analysis and legal understanding, Dave because he sees the sane persons perspective, and now Ruthless for laughs! 🙏🏼

Murder Donkey story
Since M.K. Featured the fellas from Ruthless I’ve enjoyed all of it and became a loyal follower. Hey guys, I appreciate how you all elevate each other and give respect/props. It’s a real turn off when you can feel tension with podcasters you feel you know and love. BUT the Murder Donkey story had me in machine gun bursts of laughter for days! Keep being Ruthless!

My guess is every 1 Star rating is accompanied by a severe case of TDS.

What a mess
Fox bought a pig in a poke here. This is 3 or 4 blokes talking over each other in that nasal mid-Atlantic swampy effeminate OHMIGAWD accent that infests young males in media/social media. In addition to competing for mic time they laugh constantly and loudly to the point where you’re not sure what the source of the laughter is. It’s a shame because they had/have clever Twitter/X accounts and they skewer lefty sacred cows but the dialogue is random and cacophonous.

Direct and Hilarious
Most political shows are devoid of any humor and are just made to make your blood boil. The Ruthless boys are the opposite of that. Informative, smart, and hilarious.

Party On
If Noah Vanderoff is the first guest on your next show, we will know this was a huge mistake. A sphincter says what ?

Fox News Neo Cons
I’ve been listening for 4 years and used to love these guys but recently I noticed they loved War as much as Fox. It was just announced they have partnered with Fox. Beginning of the end, they made a deal with the devil.

New favorite show
I recently found this podcast a couple months ago by chance. It is absolutely my favorite podcast of any genre. Very intelligent, informative and entertaining group. I look forward to every Tuesday and Thursday (and possibly a permanent 3rd) every week. Thank you guys and never stop! Stay honest and ruthless

Important with humor
I found these guys 3 years ago on thanksgiving. I laughed so hard I had tears. But funny as they may be they understand the DC swamp and have great guest. These are my guy friends, with political knowledge. A must watch

Best political podcast
Love these guys, discovered after hearing them as guests on the Megyn Kelly show. I only wish it wasn’t just two days a week.
Michael Caswell
Herb Brooks
I know the Herb Brooks montage was released before a really bad loss for conservatives (I don’t refer to myself as a Republican) but you guys need to embrace it. You really really do and you all know it. Keep up the great work - Mark

Top Product Even w/Establishment Lean 😎
Great podcast that always leaves off with CTA when it matters. They actually bridge the caucuses in the R party really well, especially through personality. I appreciate the hard work gents. Just stay away from the animals; hate to see PETA take you down.

Thanks for the Jillian Michaels convo
Love Jillian Michaels. So fun. Thanks Fellas!!

A great balance of information and laughs
Discovered this show because of Megyn Kelly. Downloaded their show and have been a faithful subscriber since.

Great Podcast
I look forward to this podcast twice a week and hearing you all on Megyn Kelly. Good analysis with jokes is up my alley.

What does Trump need to do?
Your first Listener’s comments were spot on, same goes for the second, ie, get the economy running via trade deals asap and stop insulting our allies please.

Smart & funny!
Great to hear a podcast that provides a fair assessment of current politics….with a few laughs added!

Less Holmes…
…more everyone else. That dude loves the sound of his own voice. 😑

I’m quickly losing confidence and connection with this podcast. It’s becoming obnoxiously and increasingly juvenile.

Dr El Ojo loco
The recent show with Senator Cruz was excellent. I wasn’t sure if Sen Cruz was aware that Thurston Howell III and Mr Magoo were the same person - Jim Backus.

Can’t Quit the Progrum
Fellas, About a week ago, I swore I’d never listen to the Progrum again because whereas I had come to know that the “reciprocal tariffs” announced on “Liberation Day” were based on trade deficits, not any sort of oppositional tariff against the United States, I was listening to Smug say this was about doing unto them as they did unto us. I was furious and felt like you were trying to gaslight me like every single legacy media outlet has for a freaking decade. But the next Thursday, I was sitting at my desk, jonesin’ for the Progrum and asked myself if that sounded like you guys. So I went back and listened to Tuesday’s show just to see what you had to say and, sure enough, you guys are talking about exactly that distinction and the different views therein. That is something the legacy media will never do. So thank you, guys. I’m sorry I put you guys in the same class as the Troglodytes in the media swamp. You guys are awesome and I’m so happy to have the Variety Progrum back in my podcast rotation.

Too much lying
These guys are so plugged into the political world that they 100% know when they are spinning to mislead their voters and they do it ALL THE TIME. I read and listen to both sides of the news but am choosing to leave these bad faith folks behind for more honest content from the political right.

I’m out
Only RINOs can support these tariffs. The collapse is afoot and you seem to be very supportive.

Favorite Show
Found you guys on MK show and have been addicted since .Cant miss an episode ! Listened to the episode with Alex that wrote The Revenge book about Trumps comeback . Got the book and to be a journalist he was great ! Thanks for all of your inputs !
Forever a follower
Update
Listened from the beginning but have to unsubscribe. It’s just not fun anymore. I don’t know what happened, but they really seem to have let fame go to their heads.

Was 5 Stars until...
Apparently you guys laughed about a dog being killed at an airport. Get on the podcast and apologize about that sociopathic stupidity, and you will win people like me back. Unsubscribing now.

Ok
Ok show great information but the guys say the F word way to much.

Lost faith in you guys
I first heard about you guys on the Megan Kelly show. I listened to one of your podcasts and I subscribed and I thought it was very entertaining until that idiot on your team with the high-pitched voice started laughing about the lady that drowned her dog. He took the same attitude that the girl that killed her dog did. None of you guys had the balls to shut him up, and you all laughed along with him. I am unsubscribing and I am completely done ever listening to you jokers again.

I heard you on MK and couldn’t wait to check out your show. Love it. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Disappointed Conservative
I am a conservative millennial attorney in a sea of liberals in Chicago. I love this podcast but the comments about supporting the killing of a dog in an airport and animal cruelty in general (even in jest) was disgusting. I am not sure I will listen to this podcast anymore. Do better guys.

Yawn
If you just want to hear a bunch of 2nd tier, still-living-the-frat-life gobs talking about how much the libs are getting owned, how dangerous the left is, and patting themselves on the back about how amazeballs 🍊/dark maga is, this the show for you.
WhateverLola
Could be better …
Good content, would be better show without the incessant giggling. Don’t mind the occasional banter and laughing, but come on guys. Sheeesh
RichHayley
Great Find
Heard y’all on MK show & glad I did. Only complaint I I have is I need u 5 days a week. During speech all the Dims, I prefer Dims over Dems because of they seem dimwitted, stayed seated ever through DJ & mothers who lost their child except one. I saw one lady stand a couple times. Can u tell us who it was?
