The Anatolian Candidate feat. Mattie Lubchansky
Added 2024-10-01 13:29:44 +0000 UTCIt's the free one!
We admit it: we went too early with the Eric Adams story a couple weeks ago… and circumstances have developed not necessarily to the Mayor’s advantage… so No Gods, No Mayors’ Mattie Lubchansky (and Riley Quinn and November Kelly) join the gang to discuss details of the unsealed indictment. Also, we discuss recent events in Lebanon and then read an article about a hyper-secure island for billionaires off the coast of Miami.

Hi, I just sprinted here from Spotify and gave you $5 so I could leave a comment telling you I went to high school Guthrie Scrimgeor. He was a year above me and we were in the same choir/many of the same musical theater productions! Did not know him very well at all but he was chill lmao

2024-10-08 06:44:27 +0000 UTCI don't have a way to properly say this with the full punch I think it deserves, but what the Israeli state wants is Lebensraum, but Jewish this time. Every time that "Greater Israel" map rears its ugly head, I can't think of anything else.

2024-10-08 04:17:40 +0000 UTCIt's a really mixed feeling to see an episode with Mattie Lubchansky, because on the one hand, Mattie is great at riffing and being a guest in general, but I know that when they're on, it's at least partially to go "you know this Eric Adams guy and how annoying and horse-kicked-in-the-head he is? Well, turns out he did or said something annoying and horse-kicked-in-the-head again. " I'm just so profoundly tired of this labrador-brained moron and his relentless "new york is new york! Its the city I am in! The mayor! Of new york city! How would I sum up last year in one word? I'd have to say....New York!" horseshit. Luckily, it seems like everyone else is too.

2024-10-04 18:12:39 +0000 UTCIrrelevantly one of the funniest moments of this for me was the mention of butlers with badges making me do a full on Proustian rush flashback to Milo's butler Ian Jihad bit. One of my all time favourite random walk on characters, up there with the Kent Messenger. now imagining Butler Ian Jihad And The Kent Messengers as the spiritual successors to Johannes Klonk

2024-10-01 18:39:48 +0000 UTCThe hubris of billionaires/multi-millionaires walking out of their bunkers and seamlessly transitioning to perfect-equilibrium subsistence farming is pretty crazy. You don't know anything about it. You don't have any experience with it. But how hard can it be, right? If hicks can do it, so can I - but better. You put the thing in the ground and wait, innit? Countdown to cannibalism starts the second that bunker-door swings open.

2024-10-01 16:47:33 +0000 UTCHonestly, if it could somehow be¹ that someone swapped his walkout music of "Empire State of Mind" with "Istanbul", that would be the best way of doing it. [1] but who will bell the cat? in effect

2024-10-01 16:42:28 +0000 UTCI know it shouldn't bother me this much but that has to be one of the worst locations for a ride out of the collapse of society bunker. It's guaranteed to get wiped off the map due to climate change, there's not enough arable land to do shit (Soil Data says it has a vegetative capacity of zero pounds per year so I'm going to assume that just means an intern didn't try to grow anything on beach sand and gave up), and there's not any fresh water either? It appears they buy water from the public utility so that's not very libertarian, and there's no sewage system. I guess the rich won't have to worry about that failing then, but it does really move this into a Burj Khalifa type situation except with shit boats.

2024-10-01 14:53:46 +0000 UTCNot to be a smartass and annoying, but we did know about Adams connection to Turkish interests around a year ago. I think Chapo even covered it at the time it was reported. I believe the only thing in the indictment that wasn’t previously known was the straw donors and some of the specific details. We didn’t know until it was unsealed this is what he was being charged with so apologies if that what you meant.
