    500th Show - My Favorite Episode
    I do enjoy every episode ( while working ). This Episode was great & because Senator Kennedy got of two McConnell mentions before Josh hit the Eject Button, I really enjoyed it! Today Mitch voted for KashšŸ˜³,so Iā€™ll stop ripping you on YouTube vids Josh.

    Fun & factual

    Heard you a few times on Megyn Kelly and now Iā€™m a fan!
  • Fly-over guy
    Very fun.
    I found these guys from the Megyn Kelly show. Itā€™s now the top show I listen to next to Megyn. They let me know what is going on, yet keep it fun at the same time.

    Love this podcast!! Thanks to Megyn Kelly!! I heard you guys twice on her podcast and had to become a listener and a fan thank you! Patty

    Thumbs up!
    First, a big thank you for your combination of insight and irreverence. I truly look forward to my twice weekly doses. Love my white Ruthless American Flag golf hat and the occasional double-takes it engenders. Regarding bringing manufacturing back: YES! The nation needs onshore manufacturing; secure borders; energy independence and food independence to best survive future global tumult. Now, I never lived in Ohio, butā€¦.I did live in St Louis for seven years and had midwestern sensibilities pounded into my long islanderā€™s dense perspective. Letā€™s respect the perhaps better grounded heartland outlook yet continue to groan with every specific mention of an Ohio heritage. Best Regards

    Giggle Fest
    The content is pretty good if you can get through the constant giggle fest. It gets a little ridiculous when anything they say evokes guffaws and belly laughs from the co-hosts when they arenā€™t even funny.

    Review update: yā€™all are the best ever, you are my first go to, then Megan, then Dease. Updating my review so I can let you know I agree with the rec to remove the federal tax state on the Episcopal Church. (And I am a lifelong Episcopalian). They need to be punished! What she did was disgusting and outrageous, the church needs to make her apologize.
  • MassConservative
    Love!
    So glad to have discovered you guys via the Jason Chaffetz podcast. Finally, someone who speaks my language. As a Massachusetts resident, you can understand why I feel like I donā€™t have a voice or representation. Itā€™s BAD here folks. Wish weā€™d have you every day, but always leave them wanting more, right? Thanks guys! Truly enjoy your podcast!

    An Ode to John Ashbrook
    ā€™Twas the night before Christmas and driving to church Was a family of conservatives scrolling their phones for Ruthless merch. The youngest piped up, ā€œPlay the Ruthless Christmas Special, pleaseā€ And the minions in the car were all too glad to appease. The voice of the Smash did on the speakers appear And chronicled our various triumphs of the year: The Senate, the Presidency, no longer democratic With massive gains across the country in every demographic! We walked into church with smiles on our face And crammed into pews to sing the Lordā€™s praises. As we passed the peace I turned, and who do I see? But John Ashbrook himself, as handsome as can be. I shook hands of those around me, in all six or seven Still wondering if I was actually in heaven ā€œStay Ruthless, Ashbrook,ā€ I said reaching my hand over the pew And was met with firm handshake and kind face with a rosey red hue. Ashbrook nodded back with an angelic stare And in that moment I knew he could definitely fight a bear. ā€œMerry Christmas and thank you for listeningā€ he said so suave and with easeā€ØWhen truthfully I wanted to hear a live ā€œLADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOURRRRRR ATTENTION PLEASEā€ That night my family celebrated the coming of our Savior And the rejection of the leftā€™s unhinged behavior In bed, as snug as Smug on a flight with no kids I thought to myself, keep the faith, hold the line, and own the libs.

    The pole always wins
    It takes coordination, core strength , flexibility, & rhythm to ā€œwork ā€œ the pole. It only takes a lack of intelligence to be a Marxist journo.

    Great content, fun
    Very entertaining, but lots of substance. Iā€™m now a regular listener. Note: a few years ago, the sound quality was pretty poor. The volume of one personā€™s mic would be a lot different from someone else, and the overall volume was low; it was hard to hear. This has been corrected. Whoever is doing the mixing is doing a very good job. Also, I suspect they got all new equipment in there somewhere along the line. Itā€™s very easy to listen to now. Thanks.

    A bunch of smart, experienced guys sitting around talking about important topics and having fun. What a treat to be a fly on the wall!! Thank you.

    Great show
    Wouldnā€™t change anything except for the frequency of podcasts. Any chance on more??

    Mitch is a traitor
    Guys, I listen to you every week but Mitch is the problem. I know the deep ties with that RINO McConnell you have but the turtle does nothing. Wasted too much money on Hogan and not AZ and NV. Thatā€™s like the DNC giving money to AOC. Everyone that isnā€™t sucking waste in DC knew that Tester was gone and OH is so red. But no, RINO Mitch spends the money for his allies; remember AK last cycle. Had to get his puppet Liz in. So letā€™s stop pretending that the turtle wants anything except to surround himself with yes men. 10 to one he approves some amnesty bill in this lame duck session. Oh, passing a budget before the last congress got in tying their hands. Sorry guys, I know you love him but heā€™s is not on the our side. He has to keep the gravy train open with the Chi Coms for his wife!
  • Ann in Vermont
    Thanks Fellas!
    Thanks for the laughs this election season. Hard to find in the vast Demo wasteland that is VT. Yes, the insanity continues in the great white north-Bernie got re-elected. Time to move. Keep up the great work
  • Priscilla999213
    Glorious!
    That is exactly the word I used Wednesday. I am savoring your post-election show. I am sad that my friends in California seem brainwashed. They think Iā€™m brainwashed. I just believe Trump is the better leader than Harris. My friends are ā€œscared.ā€ They also watch CNN and The View ā€¦. Coincidence??? Thank you for breaking down mainstream mediaā€™s ridiculous tactics. And in such a funny way. Keep up the good work. Iā€™m a Texas resident now and I am not trying to change anything!

    Hi! Love your show! So excited about the next four years. Just thought you should know there are some ā€œSuburban Wine Momsā€ out there who voted for reason, normalcy and the constitution. God bless!

  • -so sick of it
    Hard to Listen to Anymore
    Since they moved to YouTube, the pod is frustrating to listen too. Too many visual references and jokes that donā€™t translate to the audio and they talk over each other so much itā€™s frustrating. Also, too many inside jokes that new listeners donā€™t understand. Bye

    Great Listen
    I was introduced to Ruthless via Megyn Kelly Show, and am so happy to have been so. These guys are really funny, insightful, and informative. I enjoy listening to them opine and cut up and have contests. The best entertainmentā€”diverting conversation with a purpose.

    A family event
    Iā€™ve been listening to the variety progrum since almost the first episode. Iā€™m sitting at a public get together dinner right now as I type this and my 5 year old daughter is introducing me as the great John Ashbrook would. I sit down at my table and I hear ā€œAnnnnnnnd now! In the dark green corner (my favorite color) we have Dada Barton!ā€ The variety progrum is a family affair that I generally enjoy privately, but the family gets to enjoy on road trips. The kids still refer to the episode where the fellas impersonated peppa pig. Iā€™m raising a generation to hold the line and own the libs. If possible, a shoutout to my 5yo baby girl ā€œMama Miaā€ would be amazing. Love you guys either way. Dada Barton

    So Funny, A MUST LISTEN!!
    As a man with a giant C@#K and Balls, I find it hard to sit still for even 20 minutes. Butā€¦ this Ruthless Progrum is so good, so funny, so astute and has so much variety it holds my attention to the point where I can sit and not even notice the pain from my giant C@#K and Balls being smushed up against my skin whilst I am wearing a tight pair of Wranglers. Thanks Fellas, keep up the great work!!

    Need a Ruthless Deep dive into whether or not Kamala Harris actually worked at McDonaldā€™s

    Great Chemistry Mixed with Political Science
    Love this witty group of guys and the great analysis they offer. Itā€™s a refreshing (often hilarious) break from the crazy, frustrating times we are in.
  • lovin the lake life
    Thanks for the extra show fellas!
    Love love love the show! Always look forward to Tuesday/ Thursday and now having an extra is amazing! I always enjoy the interviews and it would be great to have some of your thoughts on how some of the other senate and house races are going and maybe a bit of the back story. In 2022 those interviews were so interesting. Wish they all wouldā€™ve won but it was great knowing their stories and following them on election night. It was how I really got to know JD Vance. Stay RUTHLESS!

    Good Stuff

  • KidStryk
    Favorite Political Podcast
    This is by far the best Political Podcast out there. The fellas are not only hilarious, they have such interesting backgrounds in politics that they bring super insightful thoughts to the progrum. I wear my Ruthless hat and spread the word as much as possible!

    Amazing progrum. Theyā€™re funniest moments are funnier than any other podcast and theyā€™re knowledge and insight is exceptional. Good work!

    Best podcast ever!!
    I look forward to this show and wish they were on every day. These guys have the best sense of humor while at the same time brings factual information about the issues. LOVE It!

    JDV
    Cool is your currency on every episode of the progrum but this one absolutely kills! JD came off as authentic and should be spreading this edition far and wide. I love to dish and it made me feel like I was in the boat. An armada? A carrier group? Too much!
  • Plant-Lady
    JD Vance interview
    You guys did, hands down, the BEST interview with JD Vance. If anyone still has any questions about who Vance is, please listen to this episode. Anyone who can keep up with you guys has my attention.
  • The best review person ever!
    Ruthless
    I didnā€™t even know I needed this podcast. Now I get very excited on Tuesday and Thursday. Itā€™s the most ridiculous political podcast Iā€™ve ever heard, and I never miss it. I only wish y'all would do at least three times a week.
  • Sports wagerer
    Lots of Cackling
    They convulse each otherā€¦sometimes informative
  • D00GIE
    MVVP Most Valuable VP (Ever)
    Senator Vanceā€™s debate performance on Tuesday had the added benefit of providing assassination insurance for President Trump. I canā€™t think of any enemies, foreign or domestic, who would be willing to clear the way for a Vance candidacy of presidency by taking Trump off the Table now. They should all be quaking in their Timberlands. Props to Smug. The ā€œGreat Walz of Chinaā€ comment was genius Thursday! Stuff like that keeps me minionized for life. Keep holding the line guys!

  • Hayley Christina
    Elite Podcast
    I love how leftists cry like the sky is falling when you say anything they donā€™t agree with, but when Trump tries to merely mention that he was literally shot bc of the left, moderators were quick to cut him off by saying ā€œwe have a lot to get through tonight.ā€ This podcast is so refreshing and so elite; thank you guys for your insights. I also loved the episode with Walsh, it definitely gave me Andrew Brietbart vibes.
  • Victoria cell phone
    Talent and Truth
    This podcast is a requirement if one wants truthful, thoughtful perspectives on the current political landscape, with lots of laughs! Found them through Megyn Kelly and added it to my ā€œmust listenā€ list!

    Debate Breakdown
    Loved the episode after the debate. It was smart and gracious of you to share your inside knowledge with the rest of us. It was apparent that Kamala and the ABC team rehearsed the whole debate, but you laid out the Xā€™s and Oā€™s of how that game plan actually works. I have heard people say Kamala is lazy, but this takes the cake when you let the moderators do your work for you. Trump proved ONCE AGAIN, that he is a fighter and heā€™s not afraid to get into the ring!! ā¤ļø Always look forward to your show!! Keep up the good work!
  • Bobevs
    Great Crew
    The guys are down to earth, and practical! Everyone should listen! I love the hot takes, continue holding folks accountable.

    Lib who LOVES The Progrum
    7 mins 30 seconds into the September 5 episode. Smug is 100% correct about parents on airplanes. Smug is always correct about planes. I wish, I wish parents would heed his calls to not bring toddlers on airplanes. Itā€™s the decent thing to do.
  • CharlieBravo1
    Running on fumes
    I used to listen to every single episode they released. But now Iā€™m skipping most if not all of an episode. Feels like the show is just running on fumes. Not funny anymore and very bland.
  • LSinger
    Learned of this show from Hugh Hewitt
    Your show is fabulous! If the subscriber number doesnā€™t double after Holmesā€™ appearance on Mr Hewittā€™s show today, I will eat my Ruthless hat that Iā€™m still waiting for. šŸ˜‰
