    Less Hallie Please
    I would prefer that Hallie not be regularly included as a voice on the pod. I’m sure she’s an excellent writer given the show’s content, but I don’t want to hear from her on the pod.

    Don’t be stupid. Of course you chose the train.

    Awwwwwwful
    More cult wokeism propaganda with the aim of poisoning America. Buckle up and prepare to cut off your P*nis. Or prepare to have one fashioned out of your wrinkly v*gina and large intestin. Homo-genous leftist talking points aplenty and absolutely NOTHING original to offer.

    New fan
    Just listened to The Bulwark pod with Tim and Jon, and I have to say this duo together brought me to want to hear about what other things Jon Lovett has to say about this nightmare we are living in at the moment, and found this podcast. I’m not a fan of Pod Save…I tried, but for some reason it misses the mark for me in my current state of perpetual rage, but I am a fan of Jon. Jon and Tim Miller raging together about the state of America, and the soulless morons destroying what took us 250 yrs to build is the content I didn’t know I needed. I, for one, Lovett and will be tuning in to this pod as well.
  • Horsefan101ggggg
    Cross post the seek treatment episode
    Honestly, it’s the most relatable thing Lovett has done in forever and it made me like him again
  • SJ Spec
    Love, Love!
    Thank you Jon! You can find and bring some humor to what is otherwise very concerning times. Thank you :-)
  • LemonDifficult:
    ⭐️⭐️
    The Byron Allen style set up for Atsuko to tell a cringy pre written joke about cellphones is when I had to shut off the episode. Just because you’re friends with someone doesn’t make them a good fit for a political podcast.

    Lindsay Glam, I’m dead!
    Changing my Starbucks mobile order name to Swamp Bottom. And, then, if this intellectual brilliance doesn’t activate progressives (and even normal humans with a modicum of compassion) to GOTV, actually vote, and stop this nonsense, I’m gonna make it a legal change and the IRS (if it still exists) is gonna have to address me as Mr. Nelly Swamp Bottom.
  • 👁💁🏽‍♂️👏🏽
    Do you like pompous white gays. Then this is the show for you
    How lucky was Lovett to have Liza Treyger as a guest? Even through his audible disdain she still had fun. And was hilarious.
  • SeanpMurray
    Jon, please run for something
    …you wouldn’t have to stop doing jokes.

    My Favorite Podcast
    Every episode of Lovett or Leave It is a winner. I listen to them all, some twice.
  • Megan Tomlinson attorney
    Ew what happened to Tom Green
    When did Tom Green turn into a miserable, pretentious A-hole?! Get over yourself man. Sorry Lovett, you dealt with him well.
  • molls1983
    Can’t miss it
    I’ve been listening since the beginning. I feel seen while laughing through the terror.
  • gracegetslost
    We Lovett!
    We Love it so much that we’re desperately missing what a weekday❤️❤️a feast for the ears!
  • Every nickname is already take
    Gone downhill
    Same jokes, same bits, it feels stale. When he talks sincerely about the news it’s still good, but everything else is meh. Basically a C-list publicity tour. Also he repeats a phrase. He repeats a phrase. He repeats a phrase.
  • cmdm
    jon lovett from survivor?
    that was fun watching him being the first person being voted off…loved seeing his dreams crushed…shd have been an advocate for Kamala…oh, well…
  • AftonJ
    I sat in front on Jason Isaacs on a plane
    It was the only time I’ve ever flown first class. He smelled fine. My husband said “don’t look, but the villain from The Patriot is sitting behind you.” I looked. “That’s Lucius Malfoy,” I responded. Great guest! Love this show. Lovett is good, too.
  • redesdale
    NO MORE WICKED
    AGAIN, NO MORE WICKED, PLEASE! It is not actually funny.
  • Affirmative Listener
    Thanks
    I sure needed a laugh this morning!! Thanks for providing the self-care tool of laughter that you offer during this depressing political climate.
  • Pipes2004
    Kevin Smith episode
    Terrible episode. I love this show, have listened for years and really hope they will go back to the old format of multiple guests so one guest who doesn’t get it doesn’t wreck the show. We need good things.
  • Cleo916283
    Simply the Best
    I love your show so much! It never ceases to entertain and make me laugh out loud. Thank you for continuing to make the show!!
  • yo gardening ho
    Thanks
    I love this podcast so much and Jon always finds a way to make me feel better as we go through this latest hellscape.
  • Algernonlives
    Cancelled show: It was fun while it lasted
    This podcast is over, they have stopped broadcasting. It’s been over a month since new content has been posted. It’s crazy they decided to go out with two limp wristed clip shows, but there must have been extenuating circumstances. It was a good show, but it for sure no longer posting. It’s possible that they took a garish TWO months off for the holiday… but that would be pretty out of touch for them to try and connect with their working class listenership, right?
  • KHASL
    I Lovett You (Mostly)
    I can’t with politics rn. But I lovett this show and don’t want What A Weekday to leave it. (Dad jokes is my love language) Bonus points to the enthusiastic reviewer who still gave y’all 5 stars while being entirely over Kendra’s contrarian snobbery. It’s so reliable that I’m no longer annoyed by it.
  • a........
    :_(
    Didn’t know how attached I’d gotten to What a Weekday until JL announced it was ending. Mer.
  • chrsw1986
    Keep it going
    Please keep this going! Highlight of my midweek!!!
  • J. Noël Manuel Valentín
    Maybe grow some class solidarity.
    Unfollowing all the Crooked pods as they come up on my podcast feed. You guys are way out of touch wrt to the UHC shooting. I hope you listen to those of us affected by the terrible standards of care in the US and grow. Erin’s fine! Wish I could stay for Hysteria! But you’re not getting my ad money.

    Boldness Missing
    Pod Save and the rest of the network need to find their groove again post 2024. They have become comfortable in failure.
  • s0meb0dy7779
    Out of touch
    Gotta unfollow based on your out of touch accusation that our apathy towards the ceo is virtue signaling. You’re too far removed from our problems. You don’t understand us. Boy, bye.
  • wow. what happened?
    MT “lover” drives me crazy
    I’m sorry. I don’t know the voices, individually. But, this person who claims to be a musical theatre lover. Has such deep, seething disdain for Wicked. (But loves The Greatest Showman?? LOL I’m going to pass out. Clearly inept, uninformed, unartistic, and wrong). Who cares if people take pictures of the title card? It’s a nostalgic nod to a universally (sorry, once again, you’re wrong) beloved American masterpiece. Within a newly beloved film version of one of the most beloved musicals of all time. LOL YOU’RE WRONG, babe! And you decide to laugh at people’s delight and love for this movie? When you are the clear outlier? I respect you maintaining your own opinions, however insane and deeply rotted they may be. But, to be so boisterously and outspokenly offended and disgusted by everyone’s delight? Because yOu SaW tHe OrIgInAl CaSt iN 2003?? Oh I didn’t realize you got your doctorate in musical theatre when your parents bought you that ticket to see that musical decades ago. Are you even a musical theatre fan? Sounds like you want to tear down the most successful mainstream MT endeavor in decades. Are you a fan? I would unfollow just that lady if I could. Hard pass.

    Jon is a sugar!
    Love this show so much. It just makes me happy to listen to Jon…he’s hilarious, brilliant, genuine…love him.
  • GoodJobKP
    National Treasure
    Lovett is a national treasure that needs to be placed on the highest pedestal with the loudest mic.
  • Xamparo
    Love it
    Love the pod. Look forward to listening every week.
  • Lauren.Peterson.22
    It’s the flour not the eggs!
    Had to drop a review, the dangerous thing about raw cookie dough is the flour not the eggs. Both are not great but flour is the dark horse of intestinal problems. Don’t worry, the safe to eat stuff cooks the flour for you. You’re the best, love you bye!!!
  • Cfiore90
    Smartest and Best
    I am such a huge fan of this show. The writing, production and execution is so pitch perfect and it is a pocket of joy in the Stupid Apocalypse in which we find ourselves. As a personal note, let me just say I think we all would understand if Jon needed to go back to therapy instead of doing What a Weekday in light, again, of the Stupid Apocalypse in which we find ourselves. No midweek episode is worth your health, Mr. Lovett!
  • POD lover 2024
    Love it!
    I am so grateful to the episode you did with Tim Miller and feeling safe to be emotional about what this election loss means to you. It's how half of a country is feeling and nobody knows how to anchor themselves and move forward. It really resonated to know that you feel the same way and you felt comfortable bearing a little bit of your soul to the rest of us that are also grieving. Keep up the good work. Your intellect, experience and ability to succinctly put things into perspective is needed now more than ever.
  • Big Tuna Stamford Branch
    He’s the Best
    The smartest and funniest, topped off with a heart of gold.
  • Jeoux
    Best visuals of any podcast.
    I imagine the visuals are better than any other podcast. No other podcast even mentions their visuals. That’s how you know Lovett has the best.
  • kjerrolds
    Funny, intelligent, and informative
    Entertaining and informative show. I’m not sure if it will comfort me or make me more crazy during the upcoming administration…..but I’ll love it, Lovett, and not leave it….
  • Leftism will destroy us
    Leftist nonsense
    The show post trump election was a pity party where the hosts and audience was about to cry over the election results. Weak people with weak opinions, shame on Chris Hansen for suggesting this trash.
  • Ryan (but the good kinda)
    First time long time
    Been listening for a while now, along with other crooked media pods. This is my first podcast review (kinda hard to even find how to do it) ANYWAY, this pod is rad. You could hardly tell Jon was a writer on the third season of Newsroom because this podcast is so funny and well written. Sorry Lovett, just tryna give you guff - did I mention this podcast is kinda hilarious! I only wish there was more Emily’s Garden Show content. 10/10 would pod again.
  • inhaler97
    11/9 show was really needed. Thanks Lovett and team.
    Just was wonderful to hear people ask questions and express frustrations and leaving it out there for people to come together.
  • ccarthey
    Oh thank god.
    My very favorite podcast, but I always found the High Note portion insufferable and cut off the show a few mins short. Three cheers for a new ending segment!!! 🎊🍾👯

    Lovett and audience simply brilliant today! .
  • Liljarny
    Always a favorite
    Every Saturday I get excited to listen to this pod. Great guests always on, Lovett is hilarious, smart, and passionate. Great pod The show I go to to keep my hopes up
  • Commonstreet
    Weekend Update but the host lived in WeHo once
    If you want to stay informed, but you also want to enjoy it, Lovett or Leave It is a sharp take on a political podcast for people who hate politics but are too smart to ignore their importance, and funnier. Each episode is like if Survivor voted the host off first because he couldn’t tell the difference between an immunity idol and a coconut, then sent him home with a microphone, a dream, and maybe a small chip in the shoulder of his knit sweater polo. Missing an episode is as disappointing as missing 3 dinners.

    Perfect Show 11/2
    Lovett and crew were killing it today— the perfect show before the election. A great mix of poignancy and hilarity— thank you!
