Earnestness Check-In: Politics Edition
🕑 Added 2024-11-18 13:00:11 +0000 UTCFinally we're safe in our paywalled bubble and we can freely speak on how to save the United States government. It literally isn't even that hard. Plus we talk the Martha Stewart doc, Joker 2, and holiday plans with a casualness that screams "we recorded this on a Sunday."

COVID put us in a fearful mode. Is that why no protests yet? I think there will be increasing protests in a broad coalition, expressing delayed rage from many corners. Call me hopeful.

Okay not George becoming radical about the state of US health insurance pre hot assassin!
Christy
George, this is very poog, but I do think Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C is a supplement that really truly does help with immunity
Billie Schaub
Please please have a party for patreonistas.

This bear with a good personality lives near Chicago and yes there are so many bad personalities at bear events. i went to two destination bear events this year, one in Las Vegas and one in Fort Lauderdale, and met some real stinkers

It actually helps to hear povs from queer people around the world / in the US - especially in these crazy times! Lots of love from Berlin, Germany
Katherine Duffy
this episode has everything! normal gay guy political discussion that reflects what a lot of people are feeling, classic New York/ LA pro/con (shout out to Sam’s how long gone obsession), some casual logistics, and a tease of a pop up?! Color me delighted.
Kaianne Sie-Mah
I really appreciate George’s confident pronunciation of “tronno”
Laura
I was a PJ late bloomer too! I have a PJ Harvey primer playlist if anyone wants to dive in on this shapeshifting queen https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2yE4RH1P0IvarkDDI1akbk?si=r5uHrIt5Rx64_Q5nt_aq_Q&pi=u-CyzlM5_3TWSP

George you have no idea how comforting it is to me that there’s another Radical Leftist out there with an obsessive and masochistic relationship to ezra klein
Jana Hudak

Ryan K
was a cathartic politics corner!! v funny ep
Henry
Very healing ep!!
Mara
Did Sam’s audio sound sped up at random points to anyone else? 😂
Tori
I think cowboy Sam could heal the nation.
darlene
i love your guys’ normal citizen political thoughts. bc “conservative v. regressive” and “hey hey hey slow down” are so valid 😭

…. I set up my Christmas decor on November 7th, have I become a crazy Christmas person? but in my defense the seasonal depression was kinda kicking my ass and the silly little twinkle lights and snowmen trick my brain into being happy

It’s no Jonathan Groff, but I will be at your 11/25 show at Joe’s Pub, George!!!
Jenny
Saying "I only have one life, I have to do it" about getting into PJ Harvey feels so straightio lab
Alexandra Ashall
I am also weakly immuned George and my friend recommended turkey tail mushroom supplement and guess what haven’t gotten sick since I started taking it. Placebo works.

PJ Harvey is the last person on earth who would ever have a Patreon (no offense love this one to death obvs). Also Courtney Love was/is a huge PJ fan and called her songs “angry vagina music” (positive) in the 90s. Welcome to the world of PJH George it’s heaven here!!!
ChuckieP
+1 to this!
Firmino
Yeah, don't shy away from your witty takes! "woah woah woah, brother" cuts deep and also portrays the left outside of the US
Tori Goyette
Pop up is essential! Every live podcast I attend I think or say “I wish I could be at an event with all these people who share my interests and sense of humor where I could meet them”
Natasha Thweatt
I think the person who got in trouble for the Patreon / crowd funding thing was Amanda Palmer from Dresden dolls
Erika
Actually George and Sam YOU are the voices I needed to hear. The point George made about the shock of 2016 invigorating activism, and the lack of shock in 2024 and the accompanying malaise is spot on. Love you glamour girls.
