Reviews
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Walker Texax Ranger – Absolutely my favorite gun podcast out there (mostly due to a lack of competitors. But hey, a wins a win).
I know people love to write in reviews like who’s who in Dungeon Crawler Carl, how Jeremy is like Cathy on Dance Mom’s, or who will be cast as who in Shawn’s upcoming musical, The Butt Pirates of Knob Lick. Starring Aaron as Brownbeard, Nick as Long John-son Lover, and Savage as Calicock Jacker.
But on a serious note, I just wanted to say thank you guys. Life can be absolutely brutal at times. Having the podcast every week is a huge comfort and a sweet escape from the non stop bitch slap that is reality. It’s nice knowing that every tuesday I can open up my podcast app and see the download. When pushing in my earbuds and hitting play, it’s like sitting down with some old friends and just shooting the shit and giving each other a hard time. I know you guys don’t get paid much to do this, mostly only in free samples from sponsors and sexual favors from Aaron, but thank you. You guys consistently give me, and no doubt many others, something to look forward to every week.”
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from bawb – Five squares, the most rounded 2a podcast available in the milky way. The cast is mostly round in shape, and this show also covers a broad range of important freedom topics from legislation to minutia. Aaron is way more valuable than his resume’ showing a different cArEeR every 6 months would suggest.
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Phil N. McRack – I first discovered this show when I read that Eugene Stoner once said, “The We Like Shooting Podcast is fucking rad but double-stack 9mm 1911’s are for fags.”
