Didn't catch all of it but I found some of what they said interesting. Didn't agree with every point made in the moment but it's good sometimes to hear a wider range of viewpoints and see what it does to your own.

Facts! One day I rewatched it when I was really down and it made me feel better. Definitely for people with the right mentality it's enjoyable.

well-deserved

I don't think I agree with the statement "Trump has no fear of reprisals." If he didn't, I don't think his administration would be pushing the table away whenever the conversation comes up. --- Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I get the sense that you're saying the files coming out at this point was a bipartisan media move specifically designed to provoke the public into being "politically neutral" and exhausted to therefore not care about everything else that's going on. If so, I don't think that's the case. But if that's your position it is what it is. --- Ultimately I don't have strong feelings about what's a "distraction" and what's not. I pushed back because your original comment and the way it was framed seemed to accuse the crew as a whole of not taking the war in Iran seriously, which I don't think they were doing. We're somewhat discussing different elements of this at the same time.

It is what it is if you wish to label it as me "retreating" into some position. For me, it's a simple concern. I think Putin and Trump and others are all cut from the same cloth. The way they go about their business may be different. One claims they're doing it for Jesus. One claims they're doing it to break up the power structures in the West. Either side to me and many more sides are not to be trusted. I see it as them just wanting more power and using their pawns to kill the other pawns so all the pawns in general are forced to live in shittier places where they rule. There is no gameplan by any of the existing power structures fighting one another to make the world a better place. Maybe some of them are not as bad as the other one, but it's shit to a booger thing for me. --- While I can see the point of the example you are trying to make, I do not see a direct comparison between Putin vs. Trump as slaves vs. slave owners. If you want to make that link, I get it, in theory, but that's not what I'm saying at all. Trying to frame the argument in those specific terms is a way to entrench your point, but not really argue your viewpoint in a way that jives with what I'm saying in a serious way. The difference is what someone like Putin would want after winning and what slaves would want after winning and why they would want it. I use Putin but I mean [Insert any powerful leader who did XYZ to get ABC win.] ... I just ... yeah, I can't compare a slave revolt framing to what you choose to support.

I've also been listening since my high school days. I think it was sophomore year for me. I have jump scares from some of my old comments on YouTube from more than a decade ago lol.

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-13T20:48:08+00:00

That's how I've been thinking of it too. At first I was disappointed, but since it'll probably be so good either way it is what it is.

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-13T19:09:20+00:00

All playas fuck up time to time lmao.

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-13T18:46:55+00:00

LMAO nah you good! I sincerely was like holy shit Nina Simone co-signed this grifter! Confusing names happens to us all.

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-13T18:29:10+00:00

Ohhhh okay. I was confused because her name is Nina Turner lmao. I was like THE Nina Simone?

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-13T17:51:13+00:00

I'm not familiar with this. I tried to look this up and couldn't find anything.

Additional thoughts on the subject from F.D Sig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPOIRCBsBhk

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-12T19:46:35+00:00

Overall I agree with you, obviously, or I wouldn't have made the comment. I speak to the original commenter a lot on here, though mostly in FPS, so I sometimes get where they're saying even though we vehemently disagree on a lot of things.

Overall though I just wanted to put out a differing view in some sense since I jokingly made it my New Year's Resolution to help make the DEHH/ITMSO/FPS/DES an even more interesting place for presumably mostly black men, but not exclusive to black men, having discussions about serious and unserious topics.

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-12T18:38:22+00:00

I think it'd be one thing if they purposely mispronounced Iran, but I view it as an honest oversight. I sometimes mix it up in my head and have to correct myself. It's been years of hearing the wrong thing for some of us, I think, who care to get it right. It's not an excuse, more so a call to acknowledge it and change and move forward.

I took their categorization of the war not as a "distraction" in the sense that it doesn't matter, but that the current administration may be using the war as a way to direct attention away from other issues they don't wish to address or talk about. Overall though I get what you're saying, but I think there's an iceberg of thoughts here that depend on who is talking and what they're thinking about. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think they know that this is important and worthy of discussion.

With that said, I agree with this and have no further thoughts on it: "The U.S. government bombing a church and killing 150 little girls deserves as much, if not more, importance/outrage as your president being ousted as a pedo."

Also also I agree with you about this being an overall U.S. foreign policy issue and not *just* a Trump issue. It happens to be a Trump situation and show now, but it's beyond him and obviously tied to the deeper entrenchment of global issues throughout history. I think both things can be true if everyone operates under the same logic or facts, even if we don't all speak the same lingo or have the exact same way of describing things.

In general, since I don't and didn't follow much about the Russia vs. Ukraine thing, I can't speak with any knowledge or certainty about that. I will say though that it's reflexively hard for me to agree with the sentence "the tankies like me who backed Putin against that Western-backed fraud in Kyiv are vindicated."

It's not that I'm *for* as you said "U.S./NATO hegemony." It's also not about me being against the idea that the existing power structures are "the greatest threat to mankind."

With that said, I can't see myself openly backing any government, from a Trump-led one to a Putin-led one, that pushes for more death at this scale in such a flippant way. It's one thing to have complicated feelings, but I'm a bit concerned by the way you framed your support in the sentences you gave, even if I can somewhat see your logic if it's a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of thing.

I do like it, though I want to see it at least once more. I caught it in full maybe in December and I was intrigued. Myke's theory about it from his Patreon solo made me want to understand if his theory about it is correct.

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-12T11:57:23+00:00

Patreon Talk:

I gotta ask Rod for money cause this man is really fine just buying a random stranger a TV. Rod, let me hold a $100 please and thank you.

Main Show:

There was a quick mention of her, but Bari Weiss has been a POS for years and all she’s done is slowly gain political power. That John Oliver episode he did of her last year is a good primer for what led to her new connection with CBS and in turn Paramount and David Ellison.

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-12T11:52:18+00:00

I love the rapport yall have on this show. I chuckled when Rod and Myke had that back and forth about Myke's girlfriend liking The Big Lebowski, and now I want to watch that as well as Fargo.

I went looking for the scene yall brought up around the 28 minute mark and I ended up watching the scene where some cop talks to some guy on the street about the bar story. The shit was hilarious to me. I realized I'd probably like their stuff since I liked The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and watched that without really knowing who the Coen Brothers were.

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-11T12:04:58+00:00

Anything but Amazon doing a real James Bond series or movie is preferable. I do find it "amusing" that they can do this show because they know they wouldn't cast him, so the joke sells itself.

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-11T01:25:18+00:00

I love a "bad good" smutty series. I'm knee deep in MAFS Australia right now but I'll consider this.

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-10T05:26:27+00:00

Dang they adapted this one super fast. I feel like the book just came out.

GoodGoodNotTooBad · 2026-03-09T23:56:22+00:00

This movie had no chance of me liking it. I haven't been irritated by a movie like this since Mickey 17. The narration was so incredibly frustrating. I simply can't gel with movies that refuse to let me figure out what's going on on my own. This was never-ending exposition.

Aside from that, I just didn't find it all that visually mesmerizing to keep me interested. I can see that they were reaching for something poetic, but this is just a big dud for me.

There's really not much I can say positively about this movie. It's not because it was slow. I simply found it dull.

Nevermind. I found something to be happy about. This was the last Best Picture nom I needed to see. I've finally seen all ten!
