Gang back

Dude we need a Matt Bruenig deep dive into the Bonyad system in Iran because I do not really understand it.

Henry George

Who is the vacuum autist? I'm in the market for a vacuum.

Gang gang back back

Matthew Thomas

You should go to the neighborhood of Dyker Heights, BK during the Christmas season. It’s a rich MAGA enclave and they all deck out their mansions with insane light displays and it’s free to walk around. Google it, it’s a thing! Me and my bf go every year.

Henry George

Hi, I’m the person who asked the question challenging Liz’s feminist credentials. I intended the question as satire to poke fun at Liz’s critics, but when Liz responded sincerely about her advocacy for rape victims and others, I realized my question came across much more literal than I intended. When I wrote that question, I was imagining that we were engaging in playful banter, but I wasn’t considering the fact that you’ve dealt with truly awful people online for much of your professional career, and that you might take what I said at face value. I apologize for the misunderstanding, and I regret causing any discomfort.

Matt any readings you suggest to get a background understanding of the NLRA? I am a follower of nlrb edge but I agree with you that some background understanding would help beyond what I pick up from the podcast

Josh Williams

Oh no. Destiny is so insufferable. Curious to see if you can get a viral clip out of it at least.

Liz is a confirmed redditor, so a /s might provide greater clarity going forward

Wtf kind of moniker is Destiny anyway? Matt should just call him Density repeatedly and pretend it’s by accident. Like George McFly in BTTF “you are my density” When he first came on the scene I kept thinking people were referring to the video game Destiny until it became clear it was an individual

Tbf to Wirecutter, they do recommend Sebo and Miele as does Vacguy, but no mention of his favorite brand, Riccar

Good news for Matt, "fuh" is just as much of an incorrect bumpkin pronunciation as "foe" so he doesn't have to feel bad! In American English, pho is often pronounced as "fuh" (like the "fu" in fun). Some people mistakenly pronounce it as "foe". However, the correct Vietnamese pronunciation of phở involves a bit more nuance, as it's a word with tone, which affects its meaning and sound. The correct pronunciation is closer to "fuh" but with a rising tone, like you're asking a question. Any pronunciation without the tonality is not the correct name for the dish in Vietnamese.

the reason teachers won’t tell you the name of the other kid is because there are a shockingly high number of parents out there who will make a seven year old their personal enemy. sadly i have seen it many times, real sicko shit

Corndog

Feeling like the single individual at the direct intersection of Bru-head and Destiny enjoyer. I think they’ll have a productive conversation despite the fact that Destiny is a girl’s name. Also, Matt saying excitedly “I’m gonna be one of the sluts” is the greatest pod quote of our lifetime

Can't believe he just threw that out there casually, I choked on my cereal when he said that

Destiny was his StarCraft II moniker, he was a popular gamer before he was a politics guy (he predates the game)

Joey Trimboli

Matt, I am also really big on garlic powder. Since you mentioned that: don’t sleep on onion powder! For a lazy snack I’ve been just heating up chicken broth with some garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. (And if you use the low sodium chicken broth it would probably need some more salt.)

James

Hearing Matt say “nah, I’m gonna be one of the sluts” was one of the funniest things this pod has ever produced

I had a Chinese friend in college who was nonplussed by a local place called Pho King because he said the pronunciation was different and the joke didn't work

I appreciate the constructive gesture, but I don't think a little '/s' is going to cut it. The real problem was way upstream of that. It was absolutely brutal to hear my own words come out of Liz's mouth rendered with forced politeness and sheer bewilderment as Liz and Matt struggled to suss out in real time the precise admixture of stupidity and malice that gave rise to my question. Near as I can tell, Liz genuinely tries to embody the love of Christ while also remaining a 100% relatable real ass bitch. That's how she appears to me. To her I appeared as some sort of belligerent midwit, another voice in the undifferentiated mass of pissy critics and menacing sex pests that she’s had to deal with her entire internet life. I thought I was being chummy and cool, but instead, I managed to insult her. This is not a 'whoopsie daisy.' This is a cosmic indictment. I'm reevaluating my values and how I’m living my life right now.
