Good but was Better
Love the show but as a long time listener the guests seem to all be the same at this point. Derek seems to only bring on guests that he either agrees with or he already knows how they’ll respond to his questions. The result is an hour of two people paraphrasing each other and boy is it dry, no matter the topic. Please get someone that’s a little different than Derek so some deeper points can be flushed out. Also why does Derek always profess to be a leftist progressive? It taints the show and no longer listen to half shows because I know the topics will be covered like MSNBC. Be a journalist and return to objective reporting! Thanks and I really do love the show.

We only know how good he was while juicing, and we only have the theory of his jealousy over the Sosa/McGwire homer...Read full review »
