More Matt rant eps pls

Sarah

waited the whole westboro segment for liz to mention bitchburger

Jack Brownfield

I hate to say this but my buddy Eric already indexed and summarized all the NRLB stuff with AI years ago and it didn't take him very long either

Andrea

Late to the party - I'm catching up on my podcasts. Bipolar on the Beach is a great title for something- novel? Band?

Folks,,

The hysterical laugh when Matt mused “recently” really got me man. That’s all you can do to keep going.

Jack W

Night falls fast by kay redfield Jamison also probably good, though I've not read it

James

We would all be so lucky to have a spouse willing to listen and say “yeah” every two minutes while we rant about our niche interests for 20 minutes, once a week.

Orb

Tbh “nothing you did matters and annihilation is inevitable” leading into the audio of blinken singing neil young in a bar is kind of perfect

James

“Who’s the bitch, the baby?” mentioned 🔥🔥🔥

Jack W

Working in the dark is an interesting book on suicide

Ian H

It would be funny to insist in return that everyone there struggle through "yunaiteht styehtz" rather than Сполучені Штати Америки

Caitlin Still

Fr tho it makes me sad that I won’t have four kids like my mum did. Not that it was well-advised of her with a demanding career etc. V interested to hear more of Matt’s thoughts on the expectation of intensive parenting ruining the big family.

Caitlin Still

Absolutely screaming over here about the 3-kid beef (explains a bit tbh 😅)

Caitlin Still

Ikr, I just won’t say it. Same with Turkiye—like bruh every country gets slapped with an exonym in most languages; you are not special.

LP3

There is a museum of tort law (i think funded by ralph?) in his hometown of Winstead, CT. They have a big exhibit of the Chevy Corvair with a mirror angled so you can see the design defect. I got a kick out of it, being a consumer protection lawyer. Not sure how well received it wouldve been otherwise.

Richard

I've gathered from past casts that neither of you think very much of Nietzsche, but as somebody who is, like Liz, perennially interested in suicide, I often think of this: "The thought of suicide is a powerful solace: it helps us through many a bad night" (BGE 157)

ssalava

If we are going to pronounce Kiev like Keev then are we going to pronounce Puh-ree for the Olympics?

Lili Mandl

Wow I wish kid Matt could help my 5th grade students with fractions. You can’t even suspend elementary students anymore, at least not in LA public schools. 2 day suspension for talking without raising hand would amount to an empty classroom

Zach

Gonna guess they're talking about some specifically cringe reactions they may have seen and not making a subtle defense of homophobia.

Sam Harrison

I loved the rant!

Patrick

They were cringe tho

Justin Hubbard

18 kids are fine going outside to play, they can field two entire baseball teams

Norman X. Picklestein

and Black Sabbath's War Pigs

NYCM&AHole

Nah he should play Slayer’s War Ensemble

NYCM&AHole

I prefer Exodus’s “War is My Shepherd”

NYCM&AHole

Plz also see R*ck the Vote for this November: Hands in another's pocket The bed they make Is not the one in which they lie The same old faces The same old establishment The same old lies Cross your 'x' It's your only voice Do as you're told Stay in line Don't rock the boat And buy what you're sold

Gabe Stanton

What’s more cringe, saying women who want careers are fooled by diabolical lies, or saying that that’s not true, actually. Hard for me to decide 🤔

KMB24

My wife and I decided it works best for our family if she's a stay at home mom > my wife is not permitted to work

Ian H

Also missed his worst take, panning an all-time great Scorsese film.

Chiara Rohz

Was about to say the same...I understand approximately a quarter of what he's saying, but that doesn't impact my wholehearted enjoyment

Tom Smith

Next up for Blinkin is Springsteen's "War".

Daniel Roberts

"These pictures even if given equal weight paint a disturbing picture". Some casual Bella Baxter vibes with lizz

Norman X. Picklestein

The hot topic in suicide these days is the state-sponsored suicide programs in e.g. Canada https://x.com/sunraysunray/status/1786090266450883055

andrew

As a tribute to the valor of the Ukrainian people, I will now perform Bob Dylan's 'Masters of War'

ChapoFan inParis

I cant believe the Bruenig's did the old smirking RW dickhead trick of only quoting Butker's comments on motherhood and not the part where he called Pride Month a deadly sin. You can't call reactions "cringe" when you so egregiously misrepresent what people were reacting to.

TC

We love wives who lovingly support their husbands' autistic (and righteous) hobbies, don't we folks

Brian Rad

I really love Matt's rants about cases he's working on, speaking as if everyone is familiar with some obscure workaround he's figured out, but I feel bad for Liz who who has to just sit there and interject "yeah" every two minutes.

Brian Rad

Same. I like the book so far too.

ChapoFan inParis

The commencement speaker apparently admitted he was high when he wrote his speech.

Sam

I haven’t listened to this yet, but I wanted to tell Liz that I thought the foreword she did for Emmett Rensin’s new book was excellent. I’m listening to the audiobook and was not expecting your involvement (your name was only mentioned at the very end) but I realized it had to be you after just a few paragraphs.

NYCM&AHole

“Consumer or consumed, your life is cheap Economic salvation in sweatshops returned from the east Despair the only quality of strife A reason for existence if you can afford the price, If your price is right”

NYCM&AHole

That was AI? I thought they got a new version

Matt Breuer

genuinely love the AI songs, this one’s abrupt ending hits every time

NYCM&AHole

Keep on Rotting in the Free World by Carcass is moar brootal and a better critique

Surna

The only part of Liz's life I find highly enviable is getting to sleep 10-12 hours a day.

Campbell

These people just can’t pick music to save their lives. Trump with Fortunate Son, Biden with We Take Care of Our Own, now blinken. These people cannot understand mockery
