    It’s no wonder hunter is so jacked up. Daddy covering for him all the time. Like the rest of the family there is no paternal honor. The fear of earthly punishment v eternal. Thanks Viva, great show!
  • Takoateli
    Chock-full of important information and great opinion.
    It's a little stream of consciousness like Tim Pool, but a more intellectual and coherent. Great legal info and current events.
  • Magentawave
    LOVE these guys!
    A couple smart lawyers there and both from the perspective of freedom. Viva mostly gives his take on the day to day commie / authoritarian insanity, while Barnes is like an encyclopdia of knowledge regarding current lawsuits and what they mean to the rest of us.

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️
    So excited I found your podcast. I have been following you on YouTube for awhile. This is another good option to listen to you when I am out and about.

    Is Barnes afraid of dying if he stops talking?
    Dude. Filibuster ain’t got nothin on this guy.
  • ThatWeirdPagerGuy
    This podcast is embarrassing garbage.
    The misinformation and outright lies on this podcast are astounding. Seriously, this podcast is what happens when you are such a terrible lawyer, that nobody will hire you, so you..…..DO A PODCAST! Seriously, this is some weapons grade stupidity.
  • Steve Rulz
    Good podcast but always late
    I’d love to give 5 stars because it’s informative and entertaining. Problem is episodes are uploaded days after they are on YouTube. By the time It’s available the information is redundant because I’ve already heard it from other shows. Most shows are available within hours so I find Viva’s lack of motivation frustrating.

    Can’t take Viva
    My son is on the spectrum. He’s 19 and much better now… but listening to this show, with. Iva constantly getting side tracked and interrupting is like when he wax 7. It drives s me insane. Love Barnes

    Pop Culture meets Politics
    The best place on the web to get the truth on the most current political news and lawsuits. I no longer watch corporate media. This is where I listen to get informed. Their consistency of facts and accuracy of information has earned my trust.

    I Do Not Think That Word Means What You Think It Means
    Excellent coverage of the law for even the lay person to comprehend, esp Rittenhouse. I’ve turned a few friends on to your podcast, and now they are diehards, too :) Viva, sometimes during episode 136, you said “confound,” but I wondered if you meant “conflate.” Both work, but I was just curious. -Your Loyal Word Nerd

    Complex concepts made simple
    Fantastic podcast that is truly unbiased. Barnes flawlessly breaks down complex issues and constantly keeps you wanting more.
  • Dan_Reviews701
    Great legal and historical insight
    Great legal insight on the issues of the day which are framed in historical context. Always interesting and entertaining. I’ve been watching on YouTube and it’s nice to have in podcast form.
  • Rtggdfvhy
    You learn so much about constitutional law
    Absolutely fascinating and very informative! I listen to their livestream every Sunday night AND the Podcast once it comes out.
  • Jenny Pattilo-Ham
    I love this podcast.
    Please give this one a chance. Viva talks quite quickly. They have some tech problems. No issue as such is a reason to dismiss this info what so ever. I love this podcast. If you don’t, you don’t get it.
  • the.mentat
    The only podcast I don’t put on 2x speed
    Always jam packed with knowledge. The dynamic of the outsider Canadian and a man who has enough political insider knowledge to make your head spin is a perfect dynamic!
  • smashleysmish
    David & Robert are a dynamic duo!
    They are the antithesis of the MSM! They give you the facts, well researched, in an unbiased, nonpartisan, and entertaining way!!
  • IIBlAcKIIHaWkII
    Yes, just listen to it and you will see.
    Even if you disagree with their opinions or arguments at least they make logical points for you to disagree with. It’s not just circular “gotcha”’s and gaslighting hoping you forgot what their views on a subject were last week.
  • jackie_the_scientist
    Incredibly informative
    Anyone even remotely interested in what’s going on in the world of politics, law, and culture will love this. The discussion is always interesting, the information is always eye opening. You get the perspective of an experienced professional lawyer giving comprehensive breakdowns of events of national importance in real time. I learned so much I’m considering changing my major to political science. This stuff is fascinating.
  • Jehe ducunskka
    Insane Value
    You get a look into current law and relevant cases for the People, you get insider info on the machinations of the American judicial system, you get the low-down on corruption at the state and federal level, you even get a history lesson, great suits, cigars, and Viva Frei’s effervescent demeanor all for free.99... Truly the most informative podcast you’ll ever watch. Enjoy!
  • chiefstryff
    Love the pod
    Love the pod. Glad you’re uploading it on iTunes as I usually don’t have time to watch the YouTube stream.
  • Odd time
    Great at looking deeper
    They breakdown subject matter at different levels and perspectives to give in-depth analysis. Mainstream news looks silly compared to these two.
  • eatertyper
    Very informational
    Love these guys. They give their off the cuff opinion on topical subjects of the day.
  • EDCharlie
    Finally Facts!
    Thank you for keeping me informed!
  • Rob at work
    Don’t miss it!
    These two together deliver a compelling, fascinating, view and opinion of current legal news topics. Neutral, well informed and balanced. You will definitely learn something about human rights and current affairs.
  • dth7824
    So glad they made a podcast!
    Robert Barnes and Viva break down the law for even simple people like me.
  • nannyolock
    Changed my life
    You two have given me faith in justice again. Wasn’t sure it existed anymore. Podcast is best news ever
  • Golden State_Media Junkie
    The Best
    The more Robert Barnes in my life the better. A lawyer for the people.
  • Potato Pete MD
    Fair and logical breakdown of complex topics
    Viva Frei does a great job of describing the law and giving background for current events. He makes very logical agreements and gives his genuine opinion which is not bound by party lines. He is always respectful of differing views, and lays the groundwork for fruitful civil discourse. It is incredibly refreshing! David, I want to say thank you! I began watching your vlwags during the impeachment and now look forward to every new video (and now podcast) you make. It is readily apparent that you are a genuine and honorable man. People like you remind me how much good there is in the world. I wish you the best, and I hope you see this comment and it brings you some joy like your content has brought me! P.S. I think it is perfectly acceptable to be "milquetoast" on complex issues you are unsure about! The world is not black and white and having a hard opinion on every single event is foolish.
  • Dr. Crocoduck Pretorius
    Informative, educational & entertaining
    I've been watching Viva's YT videos for awhile now and he has become one of my favorite YouTubers. I was exctied to learn Viva was starting a podcast and so far I've been just as impressed by the podcast as I have the YT vids. - Dirk
  • neorobertson
    Love this stuff!
    Viva is funny and insightful. I really appreciate the legal viewpoint on all this craziness going on. I also appreciate the straight forward way he presents what’s going on, and don’t feel it’s the end of the world if I happen to disagree with a particular point. Keep it up, Viva! We need more of this!
  • Morrvahria
    Great content!
    Viva does a great job of making a Lehman such as myself to understand law. I think the best part is that his excitement for explaining what is happening in the law makes me want to learn more about law. I have watched all of his YouTube videos and can reasonably say that he may put his personal prospective of a subject, but that is only based on his understanding from reading documents created in court or by law makers. His point of view has been incorrect in the past, but when new information came out he re-evaluated the point of view and corrected himself. This to me makes him a person of integrity. Keep up the great information!
  • Sunny Contrarian
    Viva la(w) podcast! Viva la(w) vlawg!
    Yay no I can listen to viva in the car!!!!
  • Blossom151253
    Thank you!
    I love the common sense Viva Frei shares with his listeners. He’s fair, and unbiased. I highly recommend subscribing!
  • Dragonleap99
    Not his first content
    To anyone who is going to see this and think “These have to be fake reviews, he only has one (or a few episodes)” Viva is not just a podcaster. He’s been making YouTube videos for several years and his style will lend itself incredibly to Podcasting. Viva’s content is absolutely stellar and he somehow manages to avoid a lot of the partisan politics while annoying folks left and right of center with how level-headed he is. His explanations are university-tier and yet so simple to understand you may be tempted to try for a law degree yourself. Give him a listen and be sure to look up his YouTube page as well for even more amazing content.

    Logical reasoning
    I may not always agree, but Viva always offers a fair analysis.
  • Tncry2257
    Great content!!!
    His content is great and I recommend it to anyone who is remotely interested in law or politics or even philosophy.
  • Pynkmyst
    Excited!!
    Love the YouTube channel Vlawgs and I’m so excited to listen and learn here too!!
  • Closed_Caption
    Get as close to unbiased facts and perspectives as you dare!!
    Definitely learned more American law from my buddy the Canadian Vlawger than I did in school (probably my fault) or from most main stream sources. He doesn’t stand on his political opinions to a fault like them and he admits his wrongs, even if he’s just feeling like he needs to clear it up. Super intense sometimes but still mellow, it’s unique and completely enjoyable. Do yourself a favor and subscribe. #ThisIsNotAPaidAd

    The Best
    Like Mr. Wolf from Pulp Fiction said “I think fast, I talk fast, and...” to hear legal issues from today’s headlines explained fundamentally, with good humor and not 1 wasted breath, Viva is the man.
  • miryanvendingguy
    Yes!
    I am so excited! I love the YouTube videos and this is perfect thing to have a podcast.
  • urty24
    Great content. Looking forward to the new format.

    Truth
    Viva is a clear voice is a world of chaos. He always tells both sides of the story and tells you when he’s bias (if he ever is).
