    Funny Stupid News
    Not really much like “ANALYSIS” or discussion that will make you feel smart, but it’ll get you in a good mood and you’ll be up to date on any important current events. Also will have some weird tidbits for friends and colleagues. It’s overall such a unique and good podcast. You can also watch it, which is cool!

    Stay Informed and Entertained: The Hard Factor Podcast Delivers
    Pretty sure Clark Duke moved to Thailand and became their producer sometime after hot tub Time Machine 2. Great show love the energy
  • The awoken one
    Greatest show ever
    Been a hard year so far without voicemails show but perfect length kind of like a gorillas package not to big to hurt you but still long enough to do the job

    Gooooooooooooood morning
    Great way to start any day! The news side piece I never knew I needed
  • Jack Kenyon
    Do you know who you’re with?
    This is Hard Factor! One fat guy who shouts, one fat guy who’s either way too stoned or way too riled up, another fat guy who is funny but also hopelessly addicted to the lotto, and a fourth fat guy who’s almost famous. Have a freight gucking day boys!
  • Randy Golds
    The best!
    This pod is one of the best pods I have listened to. I start my morning out everyday with fellas and enjoy every minute of it! Not too long or short, just enough to make me laugh histarically! I’m writing this on my wife’s phone because my phone already has a review. That’s how good this pod! -Barry Macockinher (Read slowly)

    Something oddly pleasing about voting pro-choice inside the church my wife makes me go to. 🤔 HAGFD 🫶🏻

    Sending the car?
    Used to be my go to news podcast. But lately they are basically Fox and CNN adjacent. And regurgitating stories from TMZ. Nothing new anymore. Also, the interns stink.
  • McFarlaneTucker
    Once again didn’t do their research
    Hmmm can’t pick a side between killing thousands and thousands of Palestinian kids or helping Palestine defeat and apartheid state? You’re right it’s so hard. How could anyone choose? Also just once again peddling bulls hit news without fact checking.

    News you want to hear from 4 funny fellows
    This podcast is the bomb! (Insert: Let’s goooo!!!) Funny stories and wacky scenarios that you probably don’t hear from the boring mainstream media. I have been a listener for at least 6 months and enjoy every minute of it! It’s my daily dose of madness with with the boys! Hit that follow and get in on what you are missing! - Hugh J. Rection
  • You know who this is Lowlife
    Follow your dreams
    This podcast has been there for me through it all. I love hearing them make fun of each other and throw friendly banter back and forth. Makes me feel like I’m one of them. Wes, can you please follow up on that story of the 7/11 owner playing classical music? I miss your accents.

    How many reviews
    For a free shirt? Told an employee at the Apple Store that I was entering a contest and needed to leave as many reviews for this podcast called hard factor. I told him it was a finance and self help podcast. Because we are gonna make so much money off of lotto and parlays. Also, y’all have been with me since 2018 and I’ve grown alot since. Here’s to me winning it all. Love ya boys.

    Your least favorite intern.
    Hey guys it’s your least favorite intern joey here. Just wanted to drop a five star review for once and say thanks for cheering me up after the packers got absolutely embarrassed on national television. Love you guys. But not as much as wes loves satan. Or as much as pat loves government censorship. Or mark loves britney’s conservatorship. HAGFD BOYS!!!!!!
  • seattlestool
    No need to fact check here it’s 80% accurate all the time.
    Oddly enough this podcast is my go to before bed dose of the daily global news and consistent banter. Go Seahawks

    The best podcast on Earth!! These dudes are real! My goal is to buy a beer for Mark, Will, and Pat next time you are in the Tampa Bay Area (not Wes because he’s a former alcoholic, maybe just a Dunhill or a Pitbull for ya). But seriously this is the best source of unbiased news out there and the funniest. Love you guys HAGFD. Also just had a dm with celebrity Will which made my day! HAGFD!!!!!
  • wheredugetthode
    You won’t be disappointed!
    Satire daily news pod provided by 4 good buddies who all are insanely talented, funny and down to earth. These guys are the equivalent to walking into a local dive bar to be shocked by the level of talent by the band playing. So much so you can’t believe they aren’t yet superstars. Stay patient gentleman, only a matter of time before you get your island! HAGFD!

    One of those a-holes that has been listening for years and never reviewed. Better late than never. These guys are the best. Start my day with them EVERY DAY.
  • TheKenito
    Not an ad
    Hey, if you like Hard Factor, and we hope you do, and want to create a podcast of your own, EAT A BRICK! If you think you can do better than these boys YOU HAVE COMPLETELY LOST IT. Best of all it’s totally free, with no catch. Ever since I discovered Hard Factor I’ve grown as a person, I’ve made money, and I’ve had a lot of fun doing it.

    Tammy's
    I've been listening since the barstools day, and I love it. Not a review guy though. But, I have been eating at Tammy's diner for even longer... 5 star review for the jaw dropping shout out to Tammys. Can't wait to see Lombard's 18 wheeler out front of Tammy's. LFG
  • Orienté
    The boys
    Best news podcast out there. Try not to laugh and be informed. Each dude has their own giggle which is contagious.
  • Sebastian0627
    Must listen to the pod!
    Been listening to these guys for the last 2 1/2 years every day while driving to work. I couldn’t get enough content so I signed up for the Patreon at the beginning of the year and love the additional episodes. These guys hit all the marks with their 80% accuracy rating on each episode and have a blast doing so. HAGFD boys!
  • MRobHair
    Best News Show
    Stole my wife’s phone to get this review off. Hard Factor is the best podcast for your news coverage brought to you by guys who love to be funny. Hardo Hive is buzzing as well! Love getting to shoot off my hot takes to the boys after I’m done listening- HAGFD Andrew from Arkansas- Hive Member
  • Dave Cornell
    How many reviews are too many...
    I feel like this is the fourth time I gave it the 5 stars but I’ll do it again. These gentlemen are great. They make me laugh. Fun to talk to on the discord. Overall they make my day better. Join the Golden Elbow tier and get a delightful calendar of all the hosts in drag, shirtless doing odd jobs, looking like firemen, and other whimsical situations. Best pod ever in the news/comedy section with 80% accuracy a hundred percent of the time.
  • NickyTrashcans
    Why’d they put it out if they didn’t want me to listeeeeen
    Gang gang, gang gang, ice cream so good, gang gang, yes yes yes, you got me feelin like a cow girl, gang gang
  • Goldman Photography
    The ONLY news source worth listening to. Period.
    I ignored the news my entire life because it was a politically biased dumpster fire served on a platter by robotic sounding humans with fluff pieces between. Hardfactor revolutionized the news game enabling me to stay informed, without becoming violently depressed. The genuine effort to present unbiased views on the top headlines in a laid back comedic style is genius. Never before have I been better informed, entertained, and involved with a news medium or podcast. These boys have unlocked the secret. ALSOooooo if anyone is interested in AI generated art related to neurosurgery and technology, please give my Instagram account a follow @Papa_Pituitary. Would really appreciate it the support! Thanks for all that you do gentlemen. Your service to the country deserves more recognition. HAGFD. -Dr Matt P.S. if you have high blood pressure or diabetes, seriously see your doctor and avoid a stroke in the future!

    Funny business Wheel %s & Days Off
    So as Pat only is on three days a week and the wheel has either 3 or 4 people i was trying to figure out if it’s fair and I don’t think it is. Just thinking about it, Pat has 25%+25%+25%= 75% where as all everyone else has a “total percentage” of 25% + 25% + 25% + 33.33% + 33.33% = 141.66%. Which I’m not exactly positive what this means but 75%/141.66% in wheel spin percentages= 52.94%, while 3/5 days is 60% and I think that is what everyone thought was “fair” to the days worked. However I am not sure that’s the case. I am not 100% positive what this means, but think that it is somewhere between Pat hosting the Cup of Coffee just under 8% of what each of the other hosts are each week.
  • jrad123
    Only show to watch daily
    Number 1 news/comedy show to listen to. If you listen to anything else you may have problems. The fellas give it to you straight 80% of the time. The only show I listen to consistently. HAGFD

    Hard Factors = The People’s Podcast!
    Hard Factors is the perfect one stop shop for all the madness that has ensued on any given day. Anything from politics/aliens/S*tanists, it simply does not matter what the topic is, you will be laughing hysterically! Anyone lucky enough to grow up with a close group of friends, understands the pure humor that comes from joking around with them. The Hard Factors guys are as genuine as they come doing everything they can to engage with fans & deliver the hard hitting news of the day no matter the cost ! (& believe me, it costs them all their monetary accounts lol) Hard Factors doesn't just feel like watching/listening to a show, it feels like you are a part of it. I tell all my friends about Hard Factors because it makes my day better knowing I get to laugh along with them. HAGFD (Special shout-out to Will for welcoming his Son into the world!! Congratulations Mate❤️)

    GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING
    Love this show every morning. Cannot think of a better way to start the day! You have a fun viewpoint on things and during a dark time in the world you are still able to make a positive out of it all or at least make it funny. If you are curious about their penis sizes, don't worry. Full details are in the latest episode! HAGFD - Keep it up fellas
  • Treybo5150

    News for intellectuals
    Been listening to the podcast for years and is now my go to for news. I graduated college today so that means I’m now an intellectual. If you’re an intellectual genius like me then you should too. HAGFD Boys!

    Team whales
    Starting to wonder multiple things: 1. How can we be sure it’s actually you guys (sorry for the pronoun) and not ai? You all speak into microphones …. Seems fishy. 2. Why is this show not syndicated to whales? Seems like your missing at least one target audience 3. How is chat gpt getting you out of Facebook jail?
  • Dirrrty D
    Yes Please
    These guys make me laugh and I get to enjoy even the sad news with a smile.

    My only daily news source
    This podcast is amazing, I’ve been listening to it for a little over two years and have yet to be let down. Mark, Will, Pat, and Wes are 4 childhood friends that keeps us informed by reporting on trendy news with 80%accuracy. And today out of nowhere I heard something unexpected that made my Neuro-divergent brain instantly go to leave a review, which I never do. All I ask is that Mark say YOU ALREADY GOT ME again in that vollyball kids voice. I’m in literal tears. Also Birthday shout out to Connor Mann. I do intend to join your paid subscription and highly recommend this show to anyone that read this. HAGFD!!!!
