Fear-mongering language overshadows real and broader issues.
It is deeply disappointing to see fear-mongering and Islamophobic language go unchallenged on your platform. Comments about “Somalis taking over cities” and “the rise of Islam” are not only factually misleading, they are harmful and dehumanizing. As the host, you have a responsibility to uphold journalistic integrity and moderate content that spreads bigotry. Allowing this framing to go unchecked not only normalizes prejudice, it clouds the real issue of fraud in America, including the corruption and wrongdoing committed by white, Republican politicians. Platforming these narratives without critique distracts from legitimate problems and turns serious discussion into a vehicle for stereotypes and fear. Your audience deserves honest analysis and accountability, not the amplification of harmful myths.

Huge fan of the show and the topics, but the latest ad about abortions is a no go. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but the show opening ad should not be about abortions being OK.

Ads are too much and random
abortion ads? Irrelevant for the show. ads are getting out of hand. Keep to ads that are relevant to the show and do them less. You get done with an ad and then 3 sentences later there’s another one. Was following but not anymore

Promotes abortions
Your podcast ads for abortions has made me unsubscribe from my favorite podcast. Killing a human being whose life is inconvenient to you is unacceptable. Really dumb move to alienate half your audience like that. I can’t support abortions in any way, so I’m gone.

Abortion Ads
Have enjoyed listening to this show for at least a year now and would love to move this to 5 stars, but turning on the last two new episodes and being greeted immediately by an abortion pill ad saying “it’s okay to want an abortion” has made me want to stop listening and unfollow altogether. It’s okay to have a different view than a large portion of your audience, but might not be the best choice to have ads promoting one side of an extremely divisive issue, especially when it demonstrates an obvious lack of research and logical understanding of the issue.

Commercials are obnoxious
With Dan Martell you went one min and another ad really? Destroying the quality of the show

Promotes ABORTION COMMERCIALS
November 26 podcast opens with a abortion commercial. I am done with the iced coffee hour. Do you need money that bad that you have to promote the slaughter of children

Practical
Graham and Jack ask every questions I want to know next. It’s like they’re in my brain. I’ve loved Graham’s YouTube and the podcast is even better!

All politics aside Eric Trump is a proven crypto scammer. To have him giving financial advice is beyond negligent. Terrible move that doesn’t make me trust the podcast moving forward. Unsubbing.

Edited review for 2025
Another 2025 update: Had to knock it down to 4 stars. Ads have become way too frequent. It’s actually aggressive at this point. Love you guys but this is out of hand. — It’s 2025 and the podcast is becoming unlistenable due to way too many ads. Literally feels like every 3 minutes there’s an ad now. There are literally points where it’ll be an ad. Then a sentence from the episode then another ad right after. It’s really making it hard to keep listening to this podcast. I can’t leave anything less than 5 stars because of how much respect I have for you guys but if the ads continue to be this bad I definitely am going to stop listening. — Review from 2022: It’s an amazing podcast because it feels like they’re all my buddies who are killing it and it makes me want to grind to keep up with them.

Great Content - Too Many Ads
Discovered you via Ken Coleman. I’m new to your podcast so perhaps I will get used to it but it sure seems like your ads are a lot more frequent than other podcasts. Currently listening to Sahil Bloom, and enjoying it very much.

WAY TOO MANY ADS
Biggest complaint by far is number of ads. It’s not uncommon to get 3 ad breaks in a 10 min period on this show, it should be max 3-4 per episode, maybe even 5-6 if they’re front and back loaded. I’ve stopped listening completely to episodes just because of the number of ad interruptions. A lot of ads are random and unrelated which proves it’s just a money grab. As far as content, it’s decent. A lot of good episodes, a lot of vanilla episodes, it really depends on who the guest is. Graham and Jack are nice but not interesting enough to carry the show without a top notch guest.

Great if you like to listen to ads
Used to love the pod, now I spend half the time listening to ads. I understand making money, but it’s become too much.

Too many ads!!
Good content but there are way too many ads. They’re more focused on revenue than providing a good experience for their listeners

Unbiased
This is like the only unbiased podcast I have heard. 5/5 stars I’m so thankful for this podcast bringing in voices on both sides! Ty iced coffee hour for being a staple podcast for me, it’s such a blessing to have this form of content from Graham and Jack!

The ads are so cringe
This pod would probably be top 25, but with all these ads at the most inconvenient times, it’s top 200. Graham I skip all the ads, let your sponsors know that
GTBorg
Amount of ads is absurd
Unlistenable. 12 minutes in and there’s been 2 ad interruptions and an intro ad. Im good, plenty of other podcasts that respect the listeners
weedtaco
Less ads might be a decent idea
I gave up on this podcast

Too many ads
The episode I listened to started out with an ad which is fine, I expect that. When they actually started, within the first 15 minutes there were three additional ads. I turned it off at that point because the podcast was listed as over two hours long. I’m not interested in an add break every five minutes.

Great content
The content is awesome! You 2 fellas are a great duo. But man I’ll tell you what, there’s way more ads in these episodes than usual now-a-days. I understand needing them but less would be ideal! Aside from that, big fan!

Love the content
I’ve listened to Graham for years, and when I saw the episode with Dr Mike I had to listen to it.

70% Show 30% ads
Content is fine, abrupt ad inserts with no bumper and constantly every five minutes is annoying and makes the shows annoying to listen to.

Ads, Ads and more ads
There are soooo many ads in this podcast now. It used to be good but there is one every 5 minutes now’s. It’s so annoying.

Ad whores
This is an ad with occasional podcast intermissions. Why so many ads??? It ruined your podcast

Too many ads
Some podcast episodes are fine but some have CONSTANT ads
Jblood77
Too many ads
Doug Demuro reposted the podcast he was on, figured I would give it a shot. I’m 35 minutes in and I think I heard 5-6 ads already… really makes it hard to follow.
Frenchtom86
Way to many ads
Love this podcast, but it’s gotten too annoying to listen to with all the interruptions for ads. Especially since they all start the same way “but you know what, before we get into that…”
Cutiepatutieallie
SO MANY ADs!!!
Great show and informative, but about 20+ ads every episode…

Ads are ruining the show
Been listening for years. Slowly stopped because the ads totally ruin the flow. Working out while listening is impossible because I’m constantly having to listen to unrelated ads which totally break concentration. May sound whiny but it’s getting ridiculous.

Dave Ruben Episode
I absolutely love all the podcasts. Whether I agree or not. Keep up the great conversation. I usually listen to every episode and take in most the opinions and thought into consideration. For the first time an episode struck a nerve. The implication that abortion in not an issue to base your vote on felt wrong coming from someone who would not be effected by the subject in a life changing way telling the opposition that would be that it’s a non starter. I was speechless.

TOO MANY ADS
Too many advertisements. Can’t even enjoy listening to the discussion with ads every 2 minutes.

If your thing is listening to boring wealthy men then this is your bag.

Ads + No Description
As much as I love Graham, this podcast is just loaded with ads and it’s hard to even find a decent podcast episode when the title doesn’t say who the guest is, the title is clickbait, and the description is another ad placement. At least describe what the episode is about. I rarely listen to this podcast because I don’t even know if the episodes are worth my time.

Ads ads and more ads
The number of ads have gotten out of control. The changes in audio volume is also terrible
RadicalWig
Horrible ad podcast with the tiniest bit of content
I started listening to this podcast because of the interesting guests that were on the show, but you can’t even focus on the content cause there’s an ad every 3 mins. What a waste. I understand that people need to make money and monetize the podcasts to be able to create them, but there has to be a better way than sticking an irrelevant ad in every 3 mins.

Ads ads sponsors
Listened to the Jordan Peterson episode this week and I swear every 2 minutes was an add or sponsor. Would recommend ng out a better way to plug sponsors or ads. Hard to focus on conversation with plugs.

Boost the volume!
I enjoy the show and the guests, but the volume of the voices is way too low - I need to turn my car stereo up twice as loud as anything else in order to understand what people are saying.

Good Content Ruined by Too Many Ads at High Sound Volumes
Graham, awhile back, you encouraged Doug DeMuro to take on paid sponsorships…that they could be done without alienating listeners. I’m here to tell you that the frequency of your ads and the unpredictable sound levels compared with show content volume are alienating me….and many others I’m sure. I understand that these ads and sponsorships are important revenue sources for your show. If you fail to strike a better, more listener-friendly balance between content and ads, you will lose followers and imperil your revenue stream. Thanks.

Audio messed up
Audio quiet, ads too loud. Don’t like jumpscares with my podcasts ;)

Love the show But, Ads are non stop
Gents, Y’all are are amazing. This latest Cathy Wood episode though is filled with commercials. I am about 35 minutes in and have had at least 10 separate commercials. I totally get that you have to pay the bills, but maybe there is a bit more of a balance that we can strike. Either way, keep up the great work!
