Customer Reviews
Rob Montz is Libertarian Comedy Gold
I like this show because I used to be on it. I hope Rob keeps doing it and has me back on sometime.

"I'm just waiting for the trans-ish"
A great look at libertarian perspectives
Cord and Rob look at topics from a variety of libertarian and conservative viewpoints, and don't pull any punches. Nice work.
