I refuse to listen to any other podcast. This will be the only podcast I recommend to anyone whether I like them or not.

I’ve been listening to this show for a long time (6 years) and I enjoy what this podcast brings to the gun community. I live behind enemy lines with very strict gun laws and red flag laws, so I am very hesitant to be open about my hobby. This podcast makes me sane in hearing the cast talk about guns, the gun community, news, and so much more.
As far as the cast goes:
Jeremy is the person who everyone can relate to, he says the quite part out loud and has the beliefs and opinions of most of the audience.
Aaron is the only cast member who I cannot figure out why he is still on the show. Hecomes off as he always tries to be different and validate his weird opinions but keeps digging himself a bigger hole. I don’t know if he is trying to play devil’s advocate, but he should have at least some good reasoning….like roller delayed blowback.
Shwan is the drunk uncle who can articulate a good argument while being a half a bottle of whisky into the conversation. He always keeps the conversion moving and looking at both sides of the topic, something Aaron can’t do.
Nick is the person who does not speak a lot on the show. When he does speak, he offers a wealth of knowledge on the subject and always has some good gear topics to talk about.
Savage- Could be replaced by A.I. to be honest. A.I. does a good job of summing up articles and won’t miss a show. That way we don’t have to look at the lumpy foreskin head in the chat picture.

WLS is a study in contrasts. You'll hear some of the most insightful firearms commentary in the industry alongside some of the most inane drivel you'll ever have the misfortune of listening to. You'll hear the experiences of hardworking, knowledgeable professionals alongside ridiculous commie ignorance that makes you want to punch a wall. You'll hear powerful independent thought alongside limpwristed boot fellating. You'll hear hilarious and timely humor paired with middle school dick jokes. You'll hear cutting edge news and analysis, and the worst low effort headline reading this side of cable news. The cast is simultaneously highly informed about firearms technology, to the level of guntism, and also extreme ignorance. They're forward thinking, modern gun enthusiasts and backwards fudds. The cast slips between the easy banter of close friends and hateful enemies in an instant. I like to listen to the show while I'm working out, because it helps me stay motivated to not be a fat sack of shit. The only problem is when a dick joke lands during a dead lift and I almost tear something.
Keep up the good work on the best gun podcast this side of Arcturis 3. (sorry, We Blork Snurkflattles is better)

Waiting to hear about autoerotic asphyxiashawns competitions in cowboy action. I haven't slept in weeks and need the tranquilizaton effects of his voice. I want to hear Jeremys thoughts on the red rising series of books as well. Anytime a main character is a rage fueled maniac it makes me think of him. Really I just want to win a free badass holster for my sig xten. Keep it up fellas. You too savage.

Use to be the biggest pound for pound gun podcast until Nick turned into a shitting skeleton, but the rest of the cast looks like they are doing their best to make up for him hahahaha…… Shawn is the cult leader and won’t shut up about his hunting trips and his hot wife, Aaron is a magnet for bad luck and natural disasters but somehow still keeps chugging along. The ogre Jeremy is trying to build an army of children to help overthrow the government, but he needs new sweatpants……. Please god get him new sweatpants….. Savage is behind enemy lines in Washington state with his best friend governor Inslee. Anyways this podcast will make you laugh, then cry and by the end of the it you'll question your sexual preference and sanity.

This is my review, there are many like it.
But this one is mine.
I met the cast of WLS at ShotShow 2023 after reluctantly accepting an invite from Aaron.
I found them in the basement attempting to swindle themselves into an afterparty inwhich they did not belong.
Jeremy immediately complimented me on my square toe boots and proceeded to tell me about how great Ohio is.
Shawn mentioned how he enjoyed the fact that I enjoyed listening to him talk about long drawn out hunting trips after simply saying hello to him.
I quickly waved goodbye to Nick as he trotted off to find the nearest facilities all while Aaron attempted to hit on the nonexistent woman that I was not there with..
Meeting Angle, it is clear she is the pact leader and makes the decisions. I commend you.
As I turned to walk away I felt the faint touch of a commie stroking my long luscious locks of hair, as if the touch yearned for such a rockin mullet.. I quickly spun around expecting to be greeted by a short bald thumb.. only to be disappointed yet again by Jeremys round toe boots.
In all fairness, I listen to alot of gun podcasts, I eagerly await WLS to be released weekly just as I eagerly await to hear about Aarons daily misfortunes.
I hear alot of reviews saying its like hanging with your buddies, it truly is. I commute 2hrs daily and these fellers make the drive much better. Thank you WLS
That is my review, there are many like it.. but that bitch is mine.

Great show. I will compare the hosts to their analogous gun rights organizations.
Sean: obviously GOA, not ineffective but likes the attention a bit too much.
Nick:Maryland Shall Issue, knowledgeable and works behind the scenes but is very effective.
Jeremy: SAF, strangely always leaning on the property rights arguments…..I have no idea where else this could apply (cough cough dogs)
Aaron: NRA, somehow still alive despite his best efforts
Savage:Brady

Thx 4 all the coopons....u guyz are the rulerz of the gun shows...

This show is the best. It’s reminiscent of being in the field with Marines. During those long downtimes we would have in depth discussions and arguments about things that don’t matter like which rifle was America’s .22 until the 10/22 came along. I enjoy listening to all of your different perspectives about gear, guns and training. This also one of the rare gun shows that is free of the archaic fuddery and sheds the dogmatic adherence to the precious 4 rules. It’s obvious that you guys care about safety but approach with common sense and practicality. I know there are still people out trolling the internet looking for pics of fingers on the trigger, some of them might even call the cops on you! Thanks for keeping the show hilarious and full of great content. Don’t change a thing.

They always say its not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. Well that saying takes on a whole new meaning when you realize Jeremy nicknamed his love hammer "The Fight".
Shawn, we love you, but your hunting stories are too long, your balls are too smooth, and word around town says your brown star ain't nearly as sweet as you want the listeners to believe.
Listening to any word Aaron speaks makes me wish we brought back public hangings already. Except have the hangman replace the boring old hemp rope with Detcord and the youngest in the crowd gets to place a basketball hoop anywhere they desire. If a piece of the guilty party's head lands in the hoop each member of the crowd gets a candy bar.
I've always appreciated Nick and his 'when push comes to shove' attitude, considering he lives on a toilet and pushing and shoving logs out of his mahogany slide is just his life. Respect.
Savage, yeah.
Real talk boys, keep doing what you do, double doo for Nick, and may we all share mead in the halls of Valhalla one day.
