We must think like Trump to fight him. Stop thinking like the Democrats. Biden should PARDON everyone to protect them. The House is already threatening hearings against Jack Smith. I’ve been thinking about mass pardons for weeks. And I’m a doctor, not a lawyer. We need a huge movement to ASK for...Read full review »

Nobody is ever going to get everything they want, but we can benefit in life without causing harm to our opponents, in an equitable world. It’s true that freedom isn’t free and it’s also true that many simply couldn’t be arsed to support a VP who is also a woman of color who is part of the...Read full review »

I mean this pod is an exercise in having their conclusions and the doing back bends justify them.

I love this show and I am so glad to see it back on track. Also Matt is great!

*in the rhythm of Mississippi queen* Georgina Cascone complete brought the stock price up of Caesar’s entertainment like a lead balloon. All she had to do was hump a moronic imp of a manager and some store Hillary Swank was there coked up as she ever was.

If Trump gets house arrest, can the judge make him stay in one of his NY properties?

I wish I could give 0 stars. The topics chosen could actually be informative if they could say anything other than how much they hate Trump. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a trump supporter but these guys have literally no original thoughts. Their just as bad as trump supporters, spewing hate. The...Read full review »

I used to listen to OA before the whole drama etc. And I just returned to it, but I am not hearing the insider baseball side of things. The commentary is not very detailed and seems more ranty and derivative of public news. Without the insider baseball angle, this podcast no longer informs,...Read full review »

Thomas is a punch up guy, he’s supposed to interject with jokes. Now he’s the star of the show. Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel have their sidekick to interject, but they don’t run the show. It doesn’t work.

You know… Trump will, on the first day, get rid of everything, our constitution, our cabinet and all the laws we know and have lived in our past & make his kingship forever. He may even change the name of our country, and forget the Whitehouse. He has his golden palace. It’s all possible....Read full review »

So glad the podcast is back in the hands of its rightful owner. Cheers to Thomas and Matt.

I stopped listening when, well, everything imploded with the show. When I heard Thomas on a Puzzle in a Thunderstorm show say he was back on OA, I got so excited. I’m catching up still, but I’ve enjoyed every new episode (the ones numbered in the 1000s) I’ve listened to.

The attorney Matt is very informative, level headed and subtly hilarious. In contrast, Thomas has a tendency to go off on tangents, and for too long. I don’t mind humor, if it’s funny, but my growing frustration with his kind of scatterbrain interjections is giving me attention deficit whiplash...Read full review »
MisterMellow001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/24
Updating my review after the new version was released, to say this is now better than ever. Thomas’ ability to ask the question I have on my lips after hearing some arcane legal matter, is matched by Matt’s ability to have the perfect answer prepared for that question. I think you need to add a...Read full review »

I’ve listened to OA for a few years now, but I think it’s time for me to unfollow. Thanks for the many times I enjoyed the content.
sirdonato via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/24
Like Matt and Casey, seem like interesting analyses, and definitely a breath of fresh air over Andrew and Liz. Today was my exit point. I fully understand sympathy for Palestinians and pressure in Israel, but Thomas saying that Israel is worse than the leaders of Hamas (not the general...Read full review »

Thomas is not a good presenter, Andrew Torres always carried him, and the new line-up is just a sorry excuse for what this show used to be.
PaulDGodden via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/23/24
This show became a success in spite of self-described comedian Thomas Smith. The lawyer who has replaced the former co-host seems like a great guy, and I’m interested in his expert opinion. Smith, however, has become only more self-absorbed. How someone so awkward and needy makes a living in this...Read full review »

A very good podcast. I like the trial transcripts. I find it to be coverage not available elsewhere. I sure appreciate the info.

Update: I’m so glad that Thomas is back! I’m not super familiar with all the details of the last year or so, but I definitely couldn’t continue to support the podcast when everything went down and the podcast was stolen by Andrew. I missed listening to OA so much!! It had always been a staple in...Read full review »

Thomas is hiding 2 people who didn’t want to come forward in 2023 that complained about Aaron Rabinowitz’s behavior towards them. Thomas is a coward and Aaron is part of the organization that handles these accusations so he will definitely squash it. Literally nothing has changed. I was...Read full review »

Welcome aboard, Matt, and I’m so glad you’re back. Thomas. Casey, you rule! I had dropped my Patreon support before but I’m happy to say I’m back and will continue to boost you in any way I can, because I still support the core goals of the show, and I really like the new version.

Welcome back Thomas, and thanks for asking Matt to join. The two part show with Azul was absolutely amazing. Her first hand account of her detention and subsequent “self deportation” was so illuminating, and she is the exact right person to tell it. Thank you!
Not a lawyer;always learning. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/24
Opening Arguments was more than AT, but Thomas isn’t the answer. He’s an opportunist, at best. If losing your podcast for 1 year is the worst year of your life; you’ve had a life free of any real problems. OA is now just another podcast led by someone with no marketable knowledge or analysis.,...Read full review »

Sorry, love the content, but the ratio to entertainment is out of balance…guys how much $ do you need? 1-2 30 second commercials is enough per 1/2 hour… you need some management!!!
moonman14 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/24
Good to be able to listen again, and Matt is pretty great so far too.
Petersharris via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/24
Say what you want about Andrew: at least he had the class and grace not to trash Thomas during their litigation. I cannot say the same for Thomas. Andrew kept the listeners out of it. Thomas desperately needs approval and validation, and he craps all over Andrew to the audience to get it. The...Read full review »

The guests and the content of the show are excellent. Unfortunately, the host makes weak jokes, interrupts key points and laughs at annoying times so I no longer listen to it.

Andrew is gone

Great show, glad to have Thomas back. This belongs in everyone’s daily rotation.

Alright, after a few episodes to check I’m picking the show back up.

Back to check out the rebuilding season.

Left after Thomas was locked out of the show, I’m so glad to be able to return now that he’s back!
doombladez via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/24
I am finding the coverage of matters the show has already covered a bit tedious. I like the environmental lawyer, but there is too much naïveté from the host. A whole episode of T3BE is too much

So happy you are back. I’m thrilled to listen again. Love this podcast

Andrew and Liz were way better than this.
Don't let me down via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
I never subscribed to Original OA (Thomas and Andrew) because, despite the format and content, it never got its hooks in me. OA 2.0 (Andrew and Liz) was no-go because the host. I listened after hearing Thomas was back and am really enjoying it. Matt (and sometimes Casey) brings the...Read full review »
