What is up with people’s sinuses at the ringer?

Poorly researched, vibes presented as thoughtful commentary. Like Malcolm Gladwell for Dunning-Kruger acolytes. Concepcion in particular is poor in thought, but hey, he also makes bad jokes!

Jason could literally talk about sand and I’d be into it

This show is smart and hilarious, and strangely feels almost like Binge Mode (the all-time GOAT) for today’s most interesting conspiracies and the general craziness of our current times. Jason brilliantly strikes the perfect balance of providing the necessary context for understanding each topic while still facilitating a genuinely funny and enjoyable discussion each episode. Keep up the amazing work!

this is a must listen day of release podcast. Funny and insightful, a true delight, if you want a balanced and enjoyable exploration of the madness of our world alongside the weirdness of it, you should be here.

Jason and Mal were my gateway drug to the Ringer. I’m so glad he’s back! Jason is so smart and funny. Like the best of the Ringer hosts, he can hold these wide ranging conversations with such ease. This pod feels like hanging out with friends.

One of a handful of pods that I listen to the minute it drops. I can’t get enough! Seems like you might need to go with 2 eps per week. Great choices on the guests, too!

You’d think the democrat party are saints. The constant conservative bashing and smashing those people in with maga is incredibly old. It makes Jason cackle in his high pitched tone though which I’m sure is enough for some.

This is what podcasting should be, I will follow Jason into the cold dark night. Keep leading the way

Welcome back Jason. The Ringer is the best at this weird stuff.

Really digging this

Shout out Zach Harper. Zach is a cohost of a podcast called Cinephobe, where they watch a poorly rated movie and they try to ascertain if the movie is properly poorly rated or didn’t get a fair shake

I normally avoid conspiracy theory podcasts, but these guys examine real patterns, ideas, and news. They are incredibly sincere about their anxieties regarding these trends; I don’t know why it doesn't feel like fear-mongering, but it doesn't. They somehow balance the heavy lifting with humor, making the whole show feel refreshing and validating rather than exacerbating.

I want to believe and a huge fan of Jason. You’re close… you’re not converting the main conspiracy long enough or with depth. I’d prefer 70% primary with 30% subtopics still very optimistic

Second host rarely talks. I don’t understand why he’s part of the show. A lot more politics than I thought. Show about Epstein, where guest is talking about how first Trump election i felt just devastating to her as 9/11. Neutral political listener, not interested in one side of politics or the other. I’d love to just hear about conspiracies on the associated data.

Thrilled Jason is back with The Ringer! #bingemodeforever The Epstein ep. is the best so far. Jenna has great chemistry with Jason and Tyler. I look forward to Wait a Second... -- a great addition to my podcast rota.

I don’t want to hear about your politics. Not what I came for.

I was heartbroken when Jason left the Ringer. Binge Mode and Rewatchables got me us through Covid. As for this podcast, I think most conspiracy theories are fueled by idiots who think they are smart but I’ll enjoy it if my guy is back at the Ringer!

WTF was that episode interesting or important for? Sorry a couple of the guys hate the religions they grew up with. Joel makes it seem like he was in a cult church. But they should know now as adults who escaped that’s not what the majority of us with faith believe. And this was hysteria to level I couldn’t bear to finish the episode. I was super excited to hear Jason was back at The Ringer but this is proving to be an awful show. I’m going to give it a few more listens but it’s honestly worse than that 7 trophies show he did with Shay. Even the most talented people have big misses.

First, I just searched unexplained mysteries on Apple Podcasts and boom, all episodes available. Just search it and chill out folks. I know about road rage but this podcast rage is laughable and sad. Chill out folks and take a second to do a little research. I found that show in like 5 seconds. For this show, I like it…don’t love it. I generally like most of what Jason does. The back 15 min of each show are weaker than the deep dive they do. Also, do more research before the show b/c the topics are interesting and some guests don’t seem to know anything about the topic being discussed which takes away from the chat. Work out the kinks and this could be a 5 star banger.

Every person on this podcast wanted anyone who engaged in “conspiracies” prior to 2025 Epstein to be hunted and put down. One star alone for the dark knight rewatchables. Just the lamest zero principle weak men possible

Educate yourselves. You realize that if you lived in one these “brown countries” that you imply America loves to attack for no reason, you would be thrown off of a building for going on a podcast and talking about your country in this way? As a brown female I for one am very glad I live in a country also where I don’t have to cover my entire body everywhere I go, and I wouldn’t be killed for being gay.

Why in the world would you remove every episode of a perfectly great podcast that I was listening through and replace it with this?

I struggle to get into the episodes without Chris. But when he’s on they’re great!

Lacks substance, I thought I would learn something but it falls short

This podcast is just a super fun hang with your really smart friends from The Ringer. You learn a lot, you have some fun, have a few laughs, and relax. What more could you ask for from a podcast?

Hits a lot of key things I think about regularly while illuminating things on the same wavelength. Also the best media about dealing with information flow at this point in history as an aware citizen from a personal standpoint. If I could group this with John Oliver, a topically diversified Plain English desk of repodders overseen by Derek Thompson in Spotlight style, and an honest-to-god, just-the-facts daily newspaper, I’d feel at a better equilibrium. If this pod did a breakdown of newspapers like the classic quadrant chart, but in assessing their own trustworthiness/usefulness/personality judgment of each major news source, it would be amazing.

This podcast took over “Unexplained mysteries” and deleted all of the episodes, changed the name and logo. Do your own legwork to get listeners.

using a completely different podcast account (unexplained mysteries) and deleting all of the episodes to replace them with your garbage is despicable and now i will never listen to this show and hope it fails. absolutely shameful

Hope he gets involved across the Ringer's NBA and pop-culture podcasts. I miss his interactions with Mal, Chris, and Andy, and he and Jo would get along well.

So great to have Jason back at the Ringer for this show. Intelligent, insightful, thought provoking and absolutely laugh out loud funny! Thanks all - in the rotation now!!

So glad to have this new show. Absolutely love the topics and the takes. Guests so far have been top notch. Amazing.

We Ringer listeners missed you big guy. BRING BACK NBA DESKTOP

Using an old podcast with followers to sneak in a new podcast is pretty despicable. I actually liked listening to old episodes of unexplained mysteries. I will never listen to this new podcast because I don’t agree with your method of promoting it. Shame on you and I hope your podcast fails.

I’ve been wanting to find a podcast that covers topics like this- and it’s off to a great start! Great job guys I’m a fan

I have missed Jason so much on the Ringer pods. This is such a great pod! Great information and so many laughs!

A sight for sore eyes 🫡

How did this get in my follows? I did not add this annoying podcast. No offense

Love it!

I love this genre and the detailed conversation with Jason. Welcome back Jason!!

Love this concept and will definitely be in my rotation! Jason and Tyler are awesome. Can’t wait to see where it goes

That’s the word for cramming something into an old feed and pretending like we are your listeners. Doesn’t matter what you put in there we don’t want it. Have fun with the unfollows and the deluge of real reviews.

Welcome back to the ringer!!!!

I was excited this was gonna be some sort of exposé, a well researched thought piece like podcast. Nope, it’s just another conspiracy bro group gathering in someone’s basement vibing out.

The first episode is kinda okay but we will see about the next ones

Like many listeners, I was excited to see Jason back on The Ringer. But I was just as excited to get more Tyler Parker. Combining both of these forces with inaugural guest, Conspiracy Bill was a real treat. And the nature of what they cover speaks directly to that “yeah, what’s up with that?” part of your brain in the least tin foil hat way possible. Bravo! More please!

It’s not bad enough you got rid of Unexplained Mysteries as a podcast in 2023, but now you’re so lazy you reused THEIR page, deleted all of their hard work from literal years off the internet entirely? Boycott this podcast.

Looking forward to them going deep on topics.

…has returned

Love doing my nails while listening. Many don’t like the two speakers and commercials but all I have to say is the episodes that I have listened to have almost no adds and the two speakers are wtv. I like both of their voices so I couldn’t care less that their is two of them. Peak podcast.
