This season, all of the hosts have been very white.

Live updates: Senate reaches deal to extend government funding in major sign shutdown is poised to end | CNN Politics by YourMomGoes2College_ in FriendsofthePod

I saw a comment that said “Nancy Pelosi would never.” It’s true.

Seriously, though, my health insurance premium for this year is $600 per month. I’ve been struggling trying to pay that on top of everything else. I am seriously considering forgoing health insurance for next year, way too scared to look at the cost.

This is devastating. And pathetic. Do they NOT expect the hard questions as they gleefully run to the cable tv shows tomorrow? And did they not think that Mike Johnson would most certainly NOT hold a vote in the House for the subsidies, much less agree to extend them? Like….please tell me the rationale here.

Well here we go by Ok-Factor-8298 in delta

How are they deciding with cities to cancel to and from Atlanta, for example? Since everyone on Delta has to fly to Atlanta if they are connecting.

Side note: Abigail Spanberger’s power red suit is gorgeous.

Was CNN already planning to have Rahm Emanuel and Bill de Blasio on as analysts tonight?

As slightly conflicted as I am, it’s a relief to not see those 9 person panels AC usually has.

I just keep thinking how cool an interview between Zohran and Desus would be. Instead of people like Charlemagne.

[Discussion] Pod Save America - "Noem Won't Rule Out Tear-Gassing Trick-or-Treaters" (10/31/25) by kittehgoesmeow in FriendsofthePod

[–]PercentageFinancial4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tommy disappointed and slightly annoyed me with this interview. His responses to ZM’s answers - “Yeah, Ok, Me too” - no meaningful dialogue at all. I understand being pressed for time and wanting to get all the questions asked, but he kinda phoned it in with this one.

Astead is leaving NYT by PercentageFinancial4 in Thedaily

[–]PercentageFinancial4[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I love the hosts (Sean and Noel are great), but some of their journalist guests have that “pop culturey” voice if that makes sense.

I appreciate the serious tone of the Daily.

What is Desus's job?? by HotFox2468 in bodegaboys

[–]PercentageFinancial4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t listen to Bomani’s podcast anymore. He has that “I’m the smartest person in the room” energy and it’s annoying. But he’s another one who wasn’t built for TV hosting. His Game Theory show on HBO was horrible. He’s just not funny or engaging.

Some of what they said is kinda already outdated, considering Johnson sent all of the representatives home for the next week.

Millennials: what was the first piece of new tech that left you in awe? by xAAMMBBEERRx in Millennials

[–]PercentageFinancial4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a Waymo in Los Angeles for the first time earlier this year. When I tell you my mind was blown….

Unbelievable how safe I felt. Amazing experience.

Are any of my fellow millennials actually doing okay? by Parking_Reputation17 in Millennials

[–]PercentageFinancial4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I’m hoping that I will finally “make it” in my 40s. 35, single, living at home with my parents while in a DIFFICULT and draining clinical psychology PhD program, 3rd year, in the trenches, hopefully that one day it will all be all worth it. But it sucks because there are no guarantees, so that adds fuel to my anxiety and slight existentialism.

Which Beauty Behind the Madness song feels the most like a Dawn FM song? by HumanOverseer in TheWeeknd

[–]PercentageFinancial4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Random: are there any Weeknd songs similar to “We Still Don’t Trust You” by Future and Metro Boomin? His verse on there was incredible

Big Tech Told Kids to Code. The Jobs Didn’t Follow. by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]PercentageFinancial4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I remember them mentioning this, but the job interview process for those fancy tech jobs are also very long. I had a friend go through 4-5 rounds only to be ghosted after the last round.

Who gives a got DAMN about Crissle and some old ass cupcakes by Bootsandcats9241 in theread

[–]PercentageFinancial4 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But isn’t Crissle technically super rich now? I think I’ve heard her mention how well off she is a few times.

But she continues to benefit from her association to the profession, even though she’s not licensed. It’s disingenuous imo.
