    Can’t Quit the Progrum
    Fellas, About a week ago, I swore I’d never listen to the Progrum again because whereas I had come to know that the “reciprocal tariffs” announced on “Liberation Day” were based on trade deficits, not any sort of oppositional tariff against the United States, I was listening to Smug say this was about doing unto them as they did unto us. I was furious and felt like you were trying to gaslight me like every single legacy media outlet has for a freaking decade. But the next Thursday, I was sitting at my desk, jonesin’ for the Progrum and asked myself if that sounded like you guys. So I went back and listened to Tuesday’s show just to see what you had to say and, sure enough, you guys are talking about exactly that distinction and the different views therein. That is something the legacy media will never do. So thank you, guys. I’m sorry I put you guys in the same class as the Troglodytes in the media swamp. You guys are awesome and I’m so happy to have the Variety Progrum back in my podcast rotation.

    Too much lying
    These guys are so plugged into the political world that they 100% know when they are spinning to mislead their voters and they do it ALL THE TIME. I read and listen to both sides of the news but am choosing to leave these bad faith folks behind for more honest content from the political right.

    I’m out
    Only RINOs can support these tariffs. The collapse is afoot and you seem to be very supportive.

    Update
    Listened from the beginning but have to unsubscribe. It’s just not fun anymore. I don’t know what happened, but they really seem to have let fame go to their heads.
  • Textdgh
    Was 5 Stars until...
    Apparently you guys laughed about a dog being killed at an airport. Get on the podcast and apologize about that sociopathic stupidity, and you will win people like me back. Unsubscribing now.
  • A320NW
    Ok
    Ok show great information but the guys say the F word way to much.
  • Mijflow
    Lost faith in you guys
    I first heard about you guys on the Megan Kelly show. I listened to one of your podcasts and I subscribed and I thought it was very entertaining until that idiot on your team with the high-pitched voice started laughing about the lady that drowned her dog. He took the same attitude that the girl that killed her dog did. None of you guys had the balls to shut him up, and you all laughed along with him. I am unsubscribing and I am completely done ever listening to you jokers again.
  • Manic Pixi
    Love this podcast
    I heard you on MK and couldn’t wait to check out your show. Love it. Keep doing what you’re doing!

    Disappointed Conservative
    I am a conservative millennial attorney in a sea of liberals in Chicago. I love this podcast but the comments about supporting the killing of a dog in an airport and animal cruelty in general (even in jest) was disgusting. I am not sure I will listen to this podcast anymore. Do better guys.
  • WhateverLola
    Yawn
    If you just want to hear a bunch of 2nd tier, still-living-the-frat-life gobs talking about how much the libs are getting owned, how dangerous the left is, and patting themselves on the back about how amazeballs 🍊/dark maga is, this the show for you.
  • Catholic Jen
    Your Show Rules
    Bravo guys. Keep bringing it. 🙌
  • RichHayley
    Could be better …
    Good content, would be better show without the incessant giggling. Don’t mind the occasional banter and laughing, but come on guys. Sheeesh
  • BarelyMental
    Great Find
    Heard y’all on MK show & glad I did. Only complaint I I have is I need u 5 days a week. During speech all the Dims, I prefer Dims over Dems because of they seem dimwitted, stayed seated ever through DJ & mothers who lost their child except one. I saw one lady stand a couple times. Can u tell us who it was?
  • Pussyboot
    Incredible!
    Incredibly boring 🥱

    Love it! But please speed up the production of episodes!
  • MackMurray
    Still best conservative podcast out there…
    I’ve listened to every single episode since its inception and tell everyone I know to listen. I’m worried though that this podcast is becoming another MAGA fan club that never criticizes the administration. I listen to Ruthless because of the smart and insightful views of four different guests that used to occasionally have disagreements. I voted for Trump and I’m a life long Republican but there are glaring things to critique and I can’t imagine some of you don’t feel the same way. I also never heard a mention of the Bibas murders which seems like a huge thing not to mention on a bi-weekly political podcast. I say this because I love you guys.
  • Sarandella
    Wish I had followed before
    I watched the guys from Ruthless Podcast tonight, on One Nation with Brian Kilmeade, and I am hooked. The guys were smart and funny; I have no doubt that there will be more than 500 more podcasts in their future. I’ll be listening from now on.
  • Olivia123879
    Love these guys!
    Listened to these guys in Megyn Kelly and so I checked them out, wish I would have done it sooner!! Love them! Top notch!! Seriously hilarious, but informative at the same time.
  • MT Woodpile
    Could Go To Jail - it’s worth it!
    I missed the 500 earlier shows but no more! Great insights; “Ivy League guy - I work for .gov ; Sales guy I work for a living”….h/t Hugh Hewitt!
  • LyWeb
    Megyn needs your help
    More and more I find myself skipping over Megyn Kelly’s rants and going directly to the guests. She is becoming a female Michael Savage. The way she went on about Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow has the potential to foster just as much hate as they ever did. The Fellas don’t strike me as “yes” men. Can you all encourage her to go back and listen/watch her shows? I find her intolerable, some(most)times.

    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 Kash😳,so I’ll stop ripping you on YouTube vids Josh.
  • Blaike lowery
    Fun & factual
    Saw these fellas on the Megyn Kelly show & started checking them out! So far it’s pretty good! Expose, expose, expose!!! Keep it comin guys & Smug…. Leave earlier for work 😂 All I gotta say!
  • It’sme444
    New favorite
    Heard you a few times on Megyn Kelly and now I’m a fan!
  • Fly-over guy
    Very fun.
    I found these guys from the Megyn Kelly show. It’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.

    New Listener
    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
  • RetiredDoc2022
    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, but….I did live in St Louis for seven years and had midwestern sensibilities pounded into my long islander’s dense perspective. Let’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 aren’t even funny.

    5 star
    Review update: y’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 don’t have a voice or representation. It’s BAD here folks. Wish we’d have you every day, but always leave them wanting more, right? Thanks guys! Truly enjoy your podcast!

    An Ode to John Ashbrook
    ’Twas the night before Christmas and driving to church Was a family of conservatives scrolling their phones for Ruthless merch. The youngest piped up, “Play the Ruthless Christmas Special, please” 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 Lord’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 “Stay Ruthless, Ashbrook,” 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. “Merry Christmas and thank you for listening” he said so suave and with ease
When truthfully I wanted to hear a live “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOURRRRRR ATTENTION PLEASE” That night my family celebrated the coming of our Savior And the rejection of the left’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 “work “ the pole. It only takes a lack of intelligence to be a Marxist journo.
  • Voya customet
    Great content, fun
    Very entertaining, but lots of substance. I’m now a regular listener. Note: a few years ago, the sound quality was pretty poor. The volume of one person’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. It’s very easy to listen to now. Thanks.

    Loved this year’s Thanksgiving episode. Relistened to the first one last night, and I laughed soooo hard.

    Informative and Fun!!!
    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.

    They’re GRRRREAT!
    Love the show, the facts, the humor, the insight! All I can “hear” is Tony the Tiger saying, “they’re grrrreat!” 😆 Keep it going fellas!

    Worst majority leader take ever

    Great show
    Wouldn’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. That’s like the DNC giving money to AOC. Everyone that isn’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 let’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 he’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 I’m brainwashed. I just believe Trump is the better leader than Harris. My friends are “scared.” They also watch CNN and The View …. Coincidence??? Thank you for breaking down mainstream media’s ridiculous tactics. And in such a funny way. Keep up the good work. I’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 “Suburban Wine Moms” out there who voted for reason, normalcy and the constitution. God bless!

    I had no idea Hollywood Hen had a name. We love her sign off!
  • -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 don’t translate to the audio and they talk over each other so much it’s frustrating. Also, too many inside jokes that new listeners don’t understand. Bye
  • CA1955ma
    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 entertainment—diverting conversation with a purpose.

    A family event
    I’ve been listening to the variety progrum since almost the first episode. I’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 “Annnnnnnd now! In the dark green corner (my favorite color) we have Dada Barton!” 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. I’m raising a generation to hold the line and own the libs. If possible, a shoutout to my 5yo baby girl “Mama Mia” would be amazing. Love you guys either way. Dada Barton
  • The Great TB
    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. But… 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!!

    Great Chemistry Mixed with Political Science
    Love this witty group of guys and the great analysis they offer. It’s a refreshing (often hilarious) break from the crazy, frustrating times we are in.
