Kirby (@kirbycrizzle) and I just finished taping our latest pod, parsing 1917 and WW3 and all the bullshit in between. I'm wearing the Eugene Debs shirt Kirby gave me for Christmas. He's wearing the Cats For Peace shirt I gave him as a joke, but he's taking it seriously. pic.twitter.com/1ekxgsFWK6

No way could Matt have consumed more whisky than Pareene did that night.

hell yeah MN > WI

Dennis Perrin is the cuckolded non-father of the dirtbag left

o shit they got the Safdies

that's a big get

safdie interview is really good, those guys are born storytellers

yeah that safdie bros ep is great

Jesus Christ, the E1 Joe Biden ep w/Felix is good

long cars

latest premium is some real core, heart music shit

I just listened to most of that 45 minute Biden riff... fucking hell.

I listened to 15 minutes and felt I was going mad.

"Look, if you're the biggest kid in town... you could climb the biggest tree. But that's not the case anymore."

hilarious and... weirdly relaxing?

so obviously matt is the best chapo right

yes

maybe he's the least bad. but shouty vulgar marxist takes are not my jam.

my other theory is that all the critiques of the show's crassness and misogyny are all basically because of felix

which is ironic since he's the softest boi of the lot

Felix's Ben Carson riffs were one of my favorite things ever on the show, psyched to listen to his extended biden

The show really drags now when Felix isn’t on. Matt has leaned into the shouty persona, but it was very on-brand when he recognized a Cake deepcut within three words of Amber starting to describe it.

Anyone else unable to listen to the most recent ep in apple podcasts?

Had to download it rather than stream directly.

I got a transcriber to transcribe the @E1podcast/@necrobranson @intellegint @ByYourLogic Joe Biden episode. It makes perfect sense now https://t.co/LJcSX2jl9y

I completely forgot Delaney was still around

I have, too, despite driving by his Iowa HQ and that bus at least three times every week lol

Are other E1 eps worth listening to?

check out "who wants to be food"

my actual favorite e1 is "A Novel Podcast: Academia in Repose" which has a wonderful performance from felix but doesn't have the same psycho energy as the biden one or some of the others like the aforementioned

two weeks paid leave is an atom bomb of an episode. i remember really liking wine moms, i think eat chain was good?, whichever episode they introduced NBA StupidAss / "Black Flanders", geez i really just liek the whole podcast. it's one of my "immediate listens" these days

black flanders is 25: GoochTV Presents Four Out of Five Stars

if anyone else has listened to every ep like i have, maybe you can help me: there's one that ends (i think it's the end?) with a weird spacey reverby kinda "guided dream" thing that heavily features the orc in boot cut jeans. anyone?

...it's literally the first episode. hahaha.

I thought you were talking about the 9/11/01 trip report at the end of one of the early eps, I think Take Me to Your Dealer.

you might actually be right!

Look what Will did:

lt has been a privilege to campaign for the Democratic nomination for President, but it is clear that God has a different purpose for me at this moment in time. Read my full statement here: 1/19https://t.co/DWaQWegVzJ

xp yeah, I think that's the one that starts with some reverb/delay and then it just drowns everything out after a while.

Even though E1 can be hit or miss, the good eps are really great – would search:
- The SadCast
- So I Wrote a Thing (basically any of the Boosthouse eps)
- Artisan's Plate
- Red Camero Poster
- Dudes Rock
- Hot Lips
- D&D eps would probably be of interest if you like the CTH D&D eps, although those have way more work put into them.

Feel like it's good enough to just pick a show at random and not get disappointed. Branson/Andrew also seem like good guys!

Matt, Virgil, and Chris got interviewed on KRUI-FM, Iowa City college radio

Amber should definitely not leave her job for stand-up comedy.

Yeah, that was not the best delivery

What are you guys talking about re: Amber?

I don't mean I disgaree, I mean I don't know what you're referring to.

she did a big joke at the end of the recent live episode.

all of em were a little cringey at the end of the latest live ep. I chalked it up to them being a little emotional/ hopeful—not exactly their long suit

i thought matt's speech was pretty moving tbh

true. cush weirdly good at cutting through the irony poisoning and delivering a heartfelt mini sermon
