    Used to be a favorite
    Christ is King. MAGA is forever. Look into the fraud and waste Doge found. Google it. Take 2 mins out of your day. Elon and his team of genius prodigies are rolling back 70 years of foreign nation building policy since WW2 and a $34 trillion debt. People will lose their jobs. Stock market will dip. Cough medicine is hard to take but necessary. The people who are really responsible for this imminent financial disaster have been in control for decades, and are blaming the guy who was elected for the first time running as a public servant. If you can’t see this you’re in a leftist idiot death spiral. Nelson Mandela wrote “How to be a good communist”. Reagan was right. Thatcher was right. Barack Obama was right. He was a communist. Norway has great social services because they are largely homogeneous and enjoy a near non-existent defense budget. Who picks up that tab? The US through NATO. Pretty easy to guess what two episodes I just listened to lol. In 2025 Dan has lost the plot. I respect his grind, and I like many previous episodes, but Dan regularly appeals to authority in scientific and academic issues without seriously considering or even presenting an oppositional viewpoint. He would like to see himself as a fair centrist, but he regularly lands on the side of the AP, not the side of unbiased thinkers. The Antifa episode replaying itself…Unironically ⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Love it
    I recently discovered this podcast. The host is hilarious, witty, and provides a great story along with facts. Very nicely done and researched. I highly recommend listening to Dan.

    Incredible

    Wow.
    How do you take someone serious that calls people an idiot of the internet but at the same time says mint mobile will compare to the likes of a company like Verizon. You sir, are an idiot of the internet. And people, PLEASE, do not stop researching because this dude says to leave something up to an expert. Experts disagree daily, that’s literally what science is… Einstein and Newton disagreed on one of the hottest topics known to man, that’s shows that all experts don’t agree. Same thing can be said with the medical field and how much silencing went on during “covid.” Don’t listen to this dude and stay curious on your own. WITH EVERYTHING.

    Best Podcast on the Internet!
    My daughter introduced me to the podcast after I shared some of Dan’s comedy with her. I’ve been hooked ever since! Dan, thank you for creating such a brilliant podcast that celebrates curiosity in all its forms.

    3 out of 5 stars - wouldn’t change a thing

    All good things must come to an end
    I’ve been a listener for over 5 years now. It’s really sad to see this show become what it is. Dan is so blinded by his liberal pov that it takes all the humor out. There has to be a strong political bias in every single subject now, and it’s unfortunate. What used to be hilarious jokes are now just rants preaching and virtue signaling over and over. The only “humor” left is beating a dead horse on something that wasn’t funny the first time.
  • PearceJP
    Love this show
    Been a fan since about 2017. So what if he has different political views. This dude tries to stay out of politics. Enjoy the research and comedic relief in between. I voted for trump and just see another persons opinion. Who cares? People are allowed to think differently. This dude tries to give entertainment for all. Everyone who takes it politically is too thin skinned. Grow up.
  • chicjken joe
    The best
    I like it, I’ve been listening since 2017, only one besides small town murder and crime in sports that has stayed in my podcast feed. Bring back idiots of the internet 3/5 stars lol
  • CatsRising
    Hey, guess what…
    Donald Trump is a racist, sexist, mentally ill felon. He is a dangerous Kim Jong Un wannabe that thrives on power, attention and manipulation. Most of the negative reviews for Timesuck are from people that allowed themselves to be manipulated into supporting Trump because they heard the propaganda over and over. Loud and persistent doesn’t equal correct. Being LOUD does not make one right. Saying something REPEATEDLY does not make it true. Sorry, just a little experiment there for the weak minded.

    3/5* for real now
    Great podcast, love everything, wouldn’t change a single thing. 3/5* ***Amending my original review. I still listen to the show even though it’s not as good as it used to be. Dan has allowed an overtly obvious political bias to enter his episodes since the election and it’s not good. One of the things I loved was back when Dan was truly politically neutral on his show. I’m not saying you can’t have opinions or let your beliefs guide you, but to claim you are for “Team Meatsack” and then disparage half your listeners makes you a hypocrite. I haven’t lost faith in the show yet. I hope they can right this ship bc it’s been a great run and I want it to continue.

    All hail Nimrod!!!!
    I’m not really one for podcasts but a couple of weeks back I decided to try listening to help make my work day go by faster and landed in Timesuck. Each episode is more interesting than the last I listen to this show for about 6 hours a day binging it starting all the way back at episode 1. I’m about 50 or 60 episodes in and haven’t come across an episode yet that isn’t informative, entertaining or both. Thank you King Cummins Magnificent for helping make my day at work bearable.

    Doing great!
    Best podcast on this stupidly flat earth. 3 out of 5 starts wouldn’t change a thing, yip yip yaw!
  • The Reverend K Büter
    Cracking up
    I’m new to this podcast. Loved it so much that I decided to do some bingeing. Dan,,, I am requesting some new underpants as my current ones have some “Can’t help myself pee dribble stains” due to the frequent laughter. My wife is disgusted with the laundry situation but I’ve assured her that the struggle is real and totally worth it. Regarding the soiling she was not convinced with my argument. In my mind, I won. Thank you for taking the time to put these episodes out and helping this old fella to smile through out the day. Cheers 😁🤘
  • queen baddie👑
    AWESOME
    i love this show! interesting material. the only thing i’d change is to split it up in to shorter segments like the earlier episodes
  • Crabs_13
    What is big deal???
    Love getting lost in the time sucking episodes. Really helps my 12hr days go by faster. I’m weird and recently started listening from episode one and it’s been a fun journey listening to his skills develop. Huge STD fan and now a timesucker. Love what you do Cummins crew. Keep it up captain mush mouth, I relate so well, words are hard.
  • Alnitak Dirty D.
    Must Listen
    Dude does his research… Accurate facts with comedic commentary. History dorks can appreciate the time put into research and those who don’t love history can appreciate his comedic commentary / story telling. *if you don’t fall into those categories, you’re 100% a space lizard. Hail Lucifina (listen to the podcast and you’ll understand that joke)

    Dying Laughing
    My Husband turned me on to you, we listen at bedtime to podcast. He passes out and I am laughing so much from you that I always end up waking him!! Love your unbiased interpretations of the stories!😉❤️
  • iowa 2029
    Great to listen to at work
    The show used to be great. Used to listen to it every week. But now it’s not as good as it once was. Ever since he started firing his employees I think the show has gone down hill. The last good episode he had was in November 2023, the dead giveaway episode. Ever since then it’s been frustrating to listen to and I’m finally done listening to timesuck. Thank you for the good episodes and the entertainment you provided back in the day.

    Less Serial Killers
    Love topics about history, conspiracy, pop-culture, and non murder true crime like the art museum heist or other frauds. Serial killers are over done. Dan is great, 3 out of 5 stars.

    More history less true crime
    Wish there was more history episodes and less true crime. Learned a lot about WWII, the holocaust, Native American and other history from Dan.

    Political agenda
    The only ones that push this story are Democrats.

  • Magus Peter Starlite
    Sucked in immediately
    I was camping when a crazy-mad-sexy diva accidentally laughed uncontrollably; to which I naturally asked, “What’s so hilarious?” When I was abducted shortly after this, the few episodes I’d listened to rang in my head: relieving some of my torment. Now I am reacclimatizing to a truly terrifying society in what is known as ‘real life,’ and able to learn of its true perils and pandemonium with just enough humor available, to allow assimilation of these vital survivalist wisdom. Keep on suckin’
  • Taddude
    One of my Favorite Podcasts!
    I have listened to every episode and I love this podcast! I recommend listening every episode from the beginning! Great stuff! Hail Nimrod!

    Drones
    Pubic Drone Ban. It’s an intentional distraction. They’re all lit up, the light are completely unnecessary. The lights on them like on airplanes are to be seen, not to see. The not knowing what they are is all a ruse. I think it may be setting the stage to ban all personal drones… create a panic and pass anti drone legislation on the public . Navy launch from water and follow the path to a Navy R and D facility in Jersey .

    Went by the clubhouse in California SO many times driving past because we lived close by. It’s very engrained in my memory, what the members hanging out smoking cigarettes and talking out in front where you could see them talking and hanging out. I know I had to have seen the infamous names out front but a a child I would not have known the stories, only that they were terrifying to just look at. Burly and long hair and beards. Over years culturally became interested in reading about the characters. You put together such fantastic history and layout of this unique lifestyle and criminal history. You made it in depth.
  • Schooner85
    Use to be awesome
    Use to have a variety of very interesting topics. Now it's just serial killers and cults. Joins the list of a million other podcasts about serial killers.
  • Horäce Pinker

  • Steamy Rey Vaughn
    Steven Avery?
    How have you not done a Steven Avery timesuck yet? From his wrongful first conviction to the bogus Netflix documentary. This would be a slam dunk if an episode with tons of material for a deep dive
  • mseiz

    Volume
    Love the show your recordings are low in volume anyway you can record it louder even on my best headphones it’s not loud compared to other podcast I listen too! Other then that great stuff!
  • HelloSkittie
    Thank you!
    It’s really sad to see people rate the podcast just because they politically don’t agree on some things, I love the knowledge you give on every random topic I never delved in to, or sometimes even knew about! Keep killin it for the free thinkers!
  • crystal3o4
    You
    Your podcast is getting really bad. I used to love your podcast. But super boring now. I turn your podcast on and get really bored with it. I switch to the Brohio They are supper funny. You just pick supper boring stuff to talk about.
  • spunkmyr
    Sliding down the hill…
    More and more the show has become slanted. I don’t know if it’s the researchers or the echo chamber but, Dan needs to listen to some shows from say 2 years ago and then listen to the last 10. The bias has crept in and it’s no longer “Team Meatsack”. I honestly no longer look forward to the episodes because I’m just waiting for the reminder about how terrible the US is etc. I can only imagine what’s going to be in the episodes now that Republicans have won. If you really want to see it on display, pop on over to the Facebook page. It’s about as left as you can get anymore. I couldn’t bring myself to giving a 1 star because I love a lot of the older material.
