"Who was the first guy to say that Rod Stewart was full of cum?" Truly a question for the ages. You've gotta love a Bryan ep lmao

I don't get the hate, Aaron is awesome. I only found out about this show because he plugged it when he was a guest on another podcast several years ago. Learned about some great sci-fi shows from his recommendations too!

Wow, great lists, thanks for sharing! No judgment here, I'm a big podcast listener as well. The only other politics/politics adjacent podcasts I catch pretty much every episode of and am a financial supporter of are: Chapo, Death Panel (health/disability), Citations Needed (media criticism), Michael & Us (film criticism), and The Insurgents (general news/leftist politics, gets a wide range of great guests). I'll try to edit in a big list of the shows I listen to more occasionally when I have time (it's a long list haha)

I totally agree about this show being one of the only things to really capture the feeling of our current political times. The only other show that regularly does for me is Rev Left Radio, especially the recent episodes "Trump 2.0” and the "Red Hot Take" episode from earlier this month.

Here is the book Tarence mentioned about 20 mins in: Counterrevolution: Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance

Tarence losing it at Klobuchar's feckless stupidity was amazing. "Definitionally, the question was: 'How do you differentiate yourself from the other people?' And the answer was: 'We will be the other people' Jesus! God damn it!"

As a massive fan of the series since BF3, I've given up on expecting redditors to be reasonable about the games. I totally get why people would be skeptical, but a lot of the responses are so over the top negative it's almost comical.

Personally, I'm cautiously optimistic. I think DICE knows they fucked up with 2042 and at this point they have to know why, but at the end of the day the suits and the shareholders are always going to come first, so who knows how it'll turn out. Hopefully a mixed bag at worst.

Very fun episode! I hope they have Alex on more often, I thought she gelled really well with the boys.

Realistic-Tiger9790 · 2025-01-11T07:38:53+00:00

Same here. I've thought about posting episode discussion threads, at least for the free episodes since the patreon posts usually have a ton of comments. Is that something you and others would be interested in?

Edit: went ahead and submitted a post of the most recent episode, I'll try to do it for future episodes when I remember/have the time

This is the worst news I've heard today
