new premium ep was the best (and most substantial) in a while
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 31 March 2017 11:21 (seven years ago) link
Agreed. More book episodes, plz

yep it was great, so was their discussion of Zack Snyder's 300
― flappy bird, Friday, 31 March 2017 16:31 (seven years ago) link
More book episodes, plz
I think the general sweet spot is "bring in a guest who wrote something worth discussing"
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 1 April 2017 04:07 (seven years ago) link
The sweet spot is finding crazy right-wing articles and books and roasting the shit out of them, IMO.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Saturday, 1 April 2017 04:11 (seven years ago) link
I prefer the lib roasting to the right-winger roasting tbh
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Saturday, 1 April 2017 04:21 (seven years ago) link
I thought the JD Vance takedown was really good, not actually that funny but very smart and nuanced in its tackling of a target a little harder than the average nat review pundit.

good ep, though they missed a good opportunity to dispel the Bernie bro tag by adding (rightly) that he would probably have bombed Syria too

why wd they want to dispel the bernie bro tag?

adomian's gorka impersonation is a+ tho

Tim Heidecker and Adomian should do a podcast series in character as Alex Jones and Gorka. I'd give Patreon money for that.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 10 April 2017 19:13 (seven years ago) link
I remember Adomian from his first appearance saying that he thought Bernie lost the primary due to DNC orchestrated voter suppression (which he claimed to have witnessed "first hand" while voting in L.A.) which I take to mean he had to wait in a line. His Zizek is great though.

oh i will have to finally listen to this to hear AP

i liked their gorka

the Pareene ep is a pretty good starting point
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 10 April 2017 21:20 (seven years ago) link
They finally recorded Matt well for the first time in forever
― International House of Hot Takes (kingfish), Monday, 10 April 2017 22:16 (seven years ago) link
Nice bit of synchronicity with Adomian's delivery of his last name and the place Pareene used to E-I-C at
― International House of Hot Takes (kingfish), Monday, 10 April 2017 22:17 (seven years ago) link
I suspect he was in the room for a change, or he found a way to record his own fucking audio finally
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 10 April 2017 23:05 (seven years ago) link
he was definitely in the room

I had forgotten about the coin flips, there were lots of little stories like that that were spread around a lot. http://www.npr.org/2016/02/02/465268206/coin-toss-fact-check-no-coin-flips-did-not-win-iowa-for-hillary-clinton

new one is so good. "he would bomb Berlin" "but to kill Oscar Schindler" "...does anyone know anything about the girl in the red dress?"

i liked the line that trump is a president that jon stewart could actually take down, re: the 'president bannon' banter
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 19:57 (seven years ago) link
yeah that struck me too, it's probably right.... fuck
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 20:03 (seven years ago) link
I have to admit sometimes I get a little tired of their relentless "it's all so terrible" schtick. It's really no knock on their work, *anything* can get tiresome after nearly 100 episodes.
― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Thursday, 13 April 2017 14:03 (seven years ago) link

well, yeah

felix is bad and not funny
― adam, Thursday, 13 April 2017 15:49 (seven years ago) link
virgil too
felix is may favourite!
― years of immersion in the seduction community (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 13 April 2017 15:50 (seven years ago) link
felix is...fine, but definitely my least favorite.

i followed him for years on twitter before this. seems like a really weird dude

I think the guests are often more interesting than they are. They had this Irish woman on once who was making a lot of incisive points about the psychology of the alt right and they kept interrupting her to make cracks about how alt right guys live in their parents' basements
― Treeship, Thursday, 13 April 2017 16:25 (seven years ago) link
yeah, i remember that interview, i definitely wanted more of her and considerably less of them
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Thursday, 13 April 2017 16:36 (seven years ago) link
i do appreciate angry matt rants, and think he's probably the "smartest"/has the most interesting commentary
a friend of mine (a very smart and funny guy himself!) thinks felix is hilarious, which i just do not understand, his schtick is rote and predictable, he has literally one joke and he tells it over and over again
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Thursday, 13 April 2017 16:38 (seven years ago) link
wait, i'm doubting myself now - felix is the videogame enthusiast right?
― years of immersion in the seduction community (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 13 April 2017 16:40 (seven years ago) link
yes, the weight-lifting masturbator

xpost Agreed re: Matt's commentary. I really liked his thing a few episodes back about how for years fiction/popular culture/analysis prepared us for Trump but not what comes after.
― Nerdstrom Poindexter, Thursday, 13 April 2017 16:46 (seven years ago) link
i think Felix is hilarious, he's definitely the quickest. there's a classic radio chemistry between the three (and Virgil & Amber), it really does feel like lightning in a bottle, like the Stern show.
as far as their 'everything is terrible' schtick, well, it's no different than any other show or podcast about politics these days, whether it's late night talk shows, cable news, or other podcasts...
― flappy bird, Thursday, 13 April 2017 16:51 (seven years ago) link
Felix has three go-to jokes and they're getting pretty old now. Eminem/Metal Gear/Stolen Valor, we get it.
Amber and Matt are my favorites, they don't have as much of a schtick.
