Premium Episode 148: QAnon VS #FreeBritney

Pro tip for Liz: If you’re going to do a movie about a conservatorship you might want to learn how to pronounce the word first.

how closely related is the “End It” movement to “save the children”? I think End it has a movie and a bunch of sponsors 🤷🏻‍♀️😬

A wise pal of mine once confided in me her belief that a majority of the folks she encountered were dumber than they may have at first seemed or presented themselves as being more competent than they actually were. Liz krokin strikes me as textbook “righteous delusional megalomaniac” who is 1000 times less smart than she believes herself to be; so of course her writing is subpar and of course she actually once had a paying gig (a Column of memory serves) for a large circ publication. Dumb people tend to be oddly persistent in their dumbness..

^^^ right? Doesn’t everyone Google? I Googled like the dental technician who works at my aunts dentist’s office for no other reason than to empower myself with that useless bit of information on someone I don’t know and never will. If you’re gonna interview someone - like and feature them as an ally in your cause, not googling and screening background is bizarre and super confusing - WHO WOULDNT GOOGLE FIRST?

Listening to that whore of a grifter literally gorging herself on the souls of new followers fills me with rage. Also, how could that woman not have looked into Liz at all??? I believe now my eternal hell will be a large group of white women in their late 20’s early 30’s wearing boots, leggings with vests & giant oversized scarves drinking Starbucks saying “Guuurrrrlllllllll” with a vocal fry that only Satan could enjoy. I love you boys, thank you so much!

I’m pretty sure I’ve read Crokin’s writing in the Tribune before. Nothing special.

Wow

I can't say I followed the Free Britney movement super close from the start but the only coverage I have ever seen of it has been neutral or positive. I'm sure there were some bad stories as well but it seems like...kind of a dishonest portrayal of the media coverage overall. Not surprising seeing who it's coming from. Also just noticed she keeps playing the same non-negative clip while she talks about the negative press. Leading me to think she couldn't find a negative clip to play lol

Brandi Ray

What’s the deal with Crokin’s audio? It feels like some dead air has been cut between every few words, and it’s really jarring

Sean McL

her cutesy uptalk is fucking awful

Jon Lyons

I think the reason she takes the blame off Jaime Spears is that, under evangelical Christianity, children have to be submissive to their fathers. And what the father does is guided by Jesus.

Madwoman Madrigal

Literally screamed "architected isn't a real word" while listening. I guess it's a tell of complicit, manipulative white women. Great episode, though the editing got a bit choppy (couldn't tell if that was just the shitty movie or not though)

Billy E. S.

You guys should collab with Andrew Callaghan from Channel 5 btw
