After months of sharply criticizing President Donald Trump’s actions, decisions and rhetoric, the left-leaning MeidasTouch Podcast overtook the Joe Rogan Experience for the first time last week, according to YouTube’s weekly ranking of top podcast shows.
While Rogan’s 20.1 million YouTube followers dwarf MeidasTouch’s 5.2 million, the podcasting giant’s show finished in second place. Progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen and conservative-leaning Sean Ryan’s shows also made the top ten.
The MeidasTouch Podcast saw its rankings climb in July as Trump attempted to appease Congress, the media, and voters over his administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, with episodes zeroing in on the president’s past ties to and comments about the disgraced financier.
People also like McDonald’s and coca cola … even when they have runaway diabetes.
The popularity of something or someone is just a barometer of the general intelligence of a population … and judging by what’s happening in the US, it’s a very low level indeed.
The kind of diabetes Soul Asylum get on a train?
I know you were making a joke about everything … but your reminder and note about the song Runaway Train by Soul Asylum was just the right thing I needed right now. I love that song and its always a reminder of just how lucky I’ve been in my life. I’m middle aged now and I’ve built some sort of life for myself … I have enough, I’ve done lots and I’ve yet to do more … if circumstances hadn’t have turned out when I was lot younger (and trust me, I had plenty of opportunities to ruin my life early on), I would have ended up in similar lost stories as some dumb kid that disappeared into nothing never to be heard from again.
So whatever, your meaning to post your comment and that link … I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s a subtle little nudge in my life that I needed today.
Thanks ever so deeply.
