With Daniel on a clandestine mission, Matt welcomes comedians Lana Salah and James Fritz to to see the jokester himself, Joaquin Phoenix, attempt to express non-specific empathy, to watch Miss Rachel lap and re-lap the rest of the entertainment-industrial complex in the sport of Having Morals, and to watch Benjamin Netanyahu get interviewed by two guys who failed the Breathe Through Your Nose Even One Time Challenge.

In defense of Joaquin Phoenix, he was one of the actors who signed a letter in support of Jonathan Glazer’s Oscar speech and is part of this group. https://www.artists4ceasefire.org/ He’s not been super vocal about it, but he’s not new to the party.

I feel scared to live in a world in which Nelk boys and their listeners exist 🥲

Rachel

Please come to Vienna !! 💖

Matt does this “I’m not very smart thing” but I’ve always found more insight from his comments than from Daniel, though he has good insight as well. Daniel has some intellectual insecurities which can be a bit off-putting (always going out of his way to show that he knows something, always having to be right, etc., But excellent puns.) Matt has humility which can show up as vulnerability and reveal great insight. It’s why I’ve listened to every single episode, much to my embarrassment.

Please come to Ireland!

Cork is both a county and the town the county takes its name from! Fun fact: in Ireland the "county" come before the name, not after, so it's not Cork County but rather County Cork. Do come to Ireland, we'd love to have you!

Luke Walker

Love you guys and the pod but maybe put a pause on What's the Spoon during a literal famine.

I actually yelled out loud last time

2025 answers the question most people didn’t have about whether Hitler would have gone on bro podcasts. Yes, it turns out, he definitely would’ve.

About the Native American land thing - Yeah, and you know what, I hope that if I lived in the 18th and 19th century, I wouldn't have wanted us to keep taking it. I certainly am against us CONTINUING to take it. Like, yeah, I do live on stolen land. Because my ancestors were, in this case, the bad guys.

Catullus Creations

Probably. I'm adopted. I have no idea who my ancestors are, but a distinct lack of melanin gives me the strong impression that they were probably not on the right side of things.

Absolutely loved Adams sentiment at the beginning, one of those things that's important to be reminded of, finding ones own sources of meaning in such dire times. Much appreciation and love to all the Bad Hasbara crew

When you find out that at the end of his life, he would only eat meals with a dining table surrounded by agreeable teenaged girls, then I can easily imagine him only doing interviews with the most gullible, light and fluffy podcasters and influencers.

"Is my moustache 'on fleek'? Is that what all the cool kids are saying these days? Check out my vegan keto insta feed!"

Antechinus

Nah. Heath Ledger had empathy and a generous spirit. He might have been louder than Joaquin, especially because he didn't have the extra baggage of extreme childhood trauma.

I think one of the great things about Miss Rachel is the way she is, for lack of a better way to put it, normalizing resistance. She didn't make her statement be "I can't believe you people aren't speaking out and yet expect me to work with you." She could have made a point about scolding people and reminding them of the magnitude of the horrors. But she didn't. She said it politely and formally in a manner that came off as a business communication. And doing that sends the message that you don't have to be radical and obsessed with the destruction. You just have to CARE. She cares, and not in some unique way, but because she cares about all people so OF COURSE she cares about these people.

Theo Von is like the guy in Top Boy who sells weapons and gear to every gang fighting each other, but still favors one.

When the Menominee took over the Alexian Brothers Novitiate Marlon Brando arrived at the standoff between the tribesman and the national guard. Brando was eventually let in and was such a fucking unserious unhelpful person the Menominee laughed at him and took his watch…I find that hilarious in a really serious story
