    Edit out the blablablamsound when you mess up a word. Dude that’s right inside my ear every time. I’m begging you to stop because I don’t want to leave for that reason but it’s so bad. I just can’t anymore.

  • Western Bias and misrepresentation of Palestinian Resistance

    Big yikes at allowing the words “Hamas is like the Palestinian Taliban” in this ep. I’ve been disappointed in the past by the western bias of your discussions on this topic, but I think this might be the last straw for me. Perhaps y’all could try interviewing actual Palestinians connected to the resistance? Because repeatedly pointing out that Hamas is “right wing” without acknowledging that they work hand in hand with literal Marxists (PFLP) who study and teach leftist theory while physically d... more

  • Truly downhill since Alex left

    You got two straight man comedians that think they know everything and it is just boring now, not to mention the quasi anarchist takes. This show was better than quorators and still can be again. Either get Ptak back or another silly type guy. No, neither one of you are silly

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tylenol The Creator w/Sami Timimi
Q: What is your reaction as someone who has studied this stuff from a critical angle to RFK Jr.'s pronouncement about autism?
The change in autism's definition has come from social constructions rather than substantial evidence, and the term autism has become a commercial brand.
Department of Late for Dinner w/David Isenberg
Q: What is the state of the Securities Exchange Commission today?
The SEC is pushing private assets and private investment into the retail investment space.
The Organization w/Jake Ephros and Joel Brooks
Q: What are your main agenda items if elected?
Universal rent control, universal child care, and ensuring safe and clean streets are at the top of our campaign platform.
The Organization w/Jake Ephros and Joel Brooks
Q: What were some of the lessons learned from your previous campaign?
We saw that strong grassroots organizing can lead to close electoral outcomes, even against well-established opponents.
Trash Podcast w/ Ross Benes
Q: What made you want to write this book and what separates this book from other accounts of the late 20th century?
Ross Benes explains that he was inspired by moments in recent pop culture that reminded him of the trashy entertainment he loved as a kid, particularly focusing on the silliness of 1999 and the influence of low culture.
