“Can Mike talk about anything besides Qualtrics, Mormonism, and himself? Apparently not. This show used to be one of my favorites, and now I’m unfollowing. When Stephen was a cohost, the questions and ensuing discussions were insightful and offered great takeaways of substance. Now, the...”Read full review »

“Angela is a fireball of energy! I love the podcast. Love that it has a mix of stimulating topics alongside laughs and random silliness! The perfect tonic. I familiarly call it my morning cup of optimism as it’s my favourite way to start my day!”

“No way Mike’s life is that perfect or his family are so wonderful or loving and caring and joyous. It’s almost as if he’s been brainwashed by something.
At least Angela keeps it real sometimes.”

“Angels is unbearable. I have been listening to this podcast for years, and she’s only gotten worse with her narcissism, and inability to check her privilege . The last straw is her complaining about how hard it was for her to quarantine in her rich friends mansion during Covid. Like most people...”Read full review »

Their interrogation of questionable social science related to their topics is shallow and half-hearted. Other...”Read full review »

“Used to love the daily lessons, backed by solid evidence, research and light discourse. Yet, the hosts can’t seem to stop fanning their own flame, dropping names of their schools, inner circle, or illustrious careers within minutes of each show. Seems as if I can’t learn anything besides how to...”Read full review »

“I used to enjoy the way light topics turned out in discussion to generate conclusions of some substance. Now the show seems to dance around big issues so as not to be offensive to anyone. It is an exercise in swallowing camels and straining on gnats while Rome burns.”

“This show has really gone down hill with the addition of Mike. He embodies the classic guy who thinks his perspective is 1. Most valid and 2. Fact that can be extrapolated out to everyone. 🙄 Isn’t the point of this show to be one of the few out there that is fact and research based rather than...”Read full review »
