This show is worthy of 5 stars and more if allowed. The cast reminds me of the Venture Brothers cast and their crazy antics, irrelevance and irreverence. Shawn is clearly Dr. Rusty Venture, never loved by his father and seeking to create his fortune using his immense knowledge. Jeremy is Brock Samson; Bodyguard, a fan of violence and generally the imposing presence of the cast. Aaron is the Monarch; generally viewed as the villan and always trailing after Dr. Venture and generally ineffective. Nick is Necromancer Dr. Orpheus as he rents a portion of the compound from Dr. Venture and often disappears for no reason into the void but displays competence in many situations. Savage is H.E.L.P.eR. bot; sometimes there, drones on in beeps and boops and is overall not a real member of the cast.

This show is mostly a bunch of dudes yelling at each other, waving guns around, and making bad jokes with their mental disorders on full display. Also, physical disorders are frequently mentioned, referenced, and explained in dreadful ways. Despite how much these guys fight, and how much we wish they would kill each other and then their selves, they always manage to make up. I assume lots of kissing is involved, but not on the mouth. Thanks for being great examples of how to politely treat the autists and slow folks like Aaron. See the able, not the label.

Jon Patton is a national treasure. I have to admit, I used to be an avid viewer of TGC videos, but (a) TGC gun reviews kind of sucked, and (b) the weekly news videos all start to sound the same after a while. I still listen, but unlike WLS, I don’t feel bad about missing a few episodes. That said, Jon Patton on WLS is whole different animal. Jon elevates the entire WLS cast and show, and WLS somehow makes Jon better. Maybe they feed off each other, or maybe Jon is just better unscripted, less guarded and more genuine. Regardless, the best gun podcast in the world becomes the best best gun podcast in the world when Jon is on. And no, this is not paid review, and nobody put me up to it. Thanks guys! Keep it up!

OMG, Aaron is back to his old tricks. Out of deference to Shawn, who apparently owes Aaron his life, I give Aaron a pass when he acts like an idiot. Devil’s advocate is a legitimate role, room for diverse opinions, whatever. Well, I’m at the end of my rope. Aaron’s rant over NFA transfer fees was so … (I struggle for a word strong enough) wrong and moronic, it overshadows everything else. I’ll say it because no one else will: Aaron has again become unlistenable. Shawn, time to have another heart-to-heart with your boy and rein him in before he does permanent damage.

I’ve been an avid listener for 2ish years now and finally went back to listen to the infamous 171. Damn that bitch was annoying, but we’ve all been a little too drunk for TV before. Also the chick on the show back then had a voice made for sign language. If I was to compare the cast to different calibers it would go like this: Sean- The 5.56. Takes up most of the market space and is generally decent at everything but not great at anything in particular. Aaron- 300 BO because it’s really only enjoyable when it’s suppressed and sub-sonic. Savage- 7.62x39 obviously because he’s a fucking commie. Nick- 9mm. Made to be more of a side kick but does his small role effectively. Jeremy- 30.06 because all the boomers who listen to your show definitely love him the most. All jokes aside I appreciate the awesome content on such a consistent basis. Keep up the good work! P.S. What is an appropriate amount an FFL dealer should charge for background checks?

First off fantastic podcast. By far the best gun podcast out there. The mix off too much testosterone from Jeremy and to much estrogen from Mr machine gun mosses just sets the stage for a great show. Shawn nails it as the host even with some long ass hunting stories… but let’s face it if we can listen to Aaron bitch about a shop fee for 30 mins we damn sure can listen to hunting story. Nick is a breath of fresh air with his calmness and knowledge and savage is just savage. Keep up the great work guys love everything you do! P.s. Daniel defense sucks ass! Glad Shawn tells it like it is!

Over the last 7 years, you guys have been providing me with laughs, tears, anger, joy, and knowledge. Thanks for your continued dedication to the betterment of the show, and thanks for keeping me sane while I'm commuting to work, at the gym, or need to get a break from this crazy thing we call life. I love you guys, and go fuck yourselves. ❤️❤️❤️

Love is a strong word. So, I don't see how anybody couldn't at least like the podcast & the content you guys crank out. While working nights, you guys get me through the week. Definately keeps me from wanting to REDACTED coworkers that can't do the basic stuff that's expected as much. Stay safe. (And curious, bi- of course) Don't die.

I love the show. I listen to it every week every time. The best part of the show is a camaraderie with everybody. I love it when Aaron argues from a point that has no point and then Jeremy shut them down hard my most favorite part of the show is anytime Shawn talks about his hunting stories. Just because he is such a great storyteller and annoys arrest the cast I marked more hunting stories in the survey just for you Shawn. I feel the show gets better all the time.

Love the show. It's similar to being the smartest kid in the special ed class.
Shawn - the harried teacher trying his best to wrangle cats,but you can see the quiet desperation in his eyes.

Jeremy - the angry kid in the corner randomly drawing on the desk, shouting obscenities,or unreasonably angry that they aren't serving dino nuggets for lunch today.
Nick - the kid you know is going to ask to go to the restroom and is probably not coming back.
Aaron - mercilessly mocked by the rest of the kids, not truly retarded, but loves the attention being in the class gets him.
Savage - is that kid still registered for class? Shit, I thought he died...
