We talk about Iran’s helicopter catastrophe, which leads us to Azerbaijan and its tall, mercurial leader's relationship with Israel, Iran, oil money, and weapons shipments.

I thought of trueanon as soon as I read about the helicopter ”crash”

John Swan

Helicopter episode to follow up on the airplane episode when?

Kati Ketz

This is why you never ignore TrueAnon tips!!

John Swan

You misspelled “hard landing”

Quinn

Brace should do an entire episode in his French accent. Maybe when Macron’s weird old wife dies

NYCM&AHole

Show us your piennese, Liz

Ethan Mermelstein

S/o Liz trying to set up Brace in the intro like Shaq and Chuck

Zach Young

Congratulations comrade

Brian Ward

Honestly don't know how any world leader gets in a helicopter nowadays

MrMojoRisin

Yeah I'm already terrified of flying, there's no way I'm getting on the fucking whirlybird

Pepipopa

Bulgarian here Trud means work/ labor i also got a lot of spicy robert Maxwell news and his money connections still control the political sector. Love ya

Let's go Wolves 🐺🐺🐺

Wolves beating Celtics and the finals would heal our nation

Doug Cartel

Putting the name of your country in the org twice is a great way to avoid that whole "judean peoples front/peoples front of judea" problem

John Donahoe

Bulgarians are Slavic, Thracian and Bulgar. Depending on what’s going on politically one of those groups might get top billing over the other two

Bent Mind

Liz khloe is not Armenian and you know it. You know her dad is kris Jenner’s tall and wide hair dresser with the nose

Philippe Duhart

Brace’s pronunciation of Visalia made my morning.

bnlar

Thank you for the Minnesota love, Liz. We are having the time of our lives watching this team!

Anon Ibid

A Bulgarian is just a confused Northern Macedonian

Ryan Fox

Liz are you gonna miss inside the nba???

Alex

Are helicopters the motorcycles of the sky?

Antonio Kaisen

Henry Cuellar is known as Trump's favorite Democrat since he voted for every Trump bill. Beyond that, he's known as a fucking rat down here in South Texas and it is so satisfying to watch his career go down in flames.

Cher

Valentino

How we feel about lavender?

Dinosaur

Funnily enough, the first thing that came into my head when I read about this crash was "never ride in a helicopter." Second thought was Israel.

bill

Love Ant but he can’t guard Kyrie

bill

Tbf no one can

Lulu

I haven't listened yet but the title made me spit my water out.

Doc Adna

How else are you getting through the mountains? Running the risk of eating ppl?

Michael S. Judge

It's crazy that real political functionaries still do all the ceremonial bullshit too. Dude beefed it over someone else's dam. Another point in favor of my King Trump platform

Katie

the fans at home want a liz garden tour 🙏🙏

Michael S. Judge

I think a Bulgarian is a Greek with no vacation spots

Tammy

Jealous! My Piennes haven’t bloomed yet, I play your pod for them everyday ❤️ love y’all

Brace and YC are literally my neighbors but never invite me over for peonies 🫠

Bella

I was life lighted in a helicopter my first day of life!!!🙌 never plan to ride on one again🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 always listening to your rules

ploob

Death to the tavor!!

Bella

Convoy was split also! Parents stayed- I traveled ‼️

ray hafez

Trud means "work" in Bulgarian - maybe more like "labor"

gibbypatrol

Cher was right there and all you could come up with were Kourtney and Kim?!

A Kalman

“Brace Belgian” should be a new character

Colin Helpio

⚠️🚨VISALIA MENTIONED🚨⚠️ wtf is air quality???

Adam Edwards

The real answer to "name a (non-kardashian) armenian-american woman" is actually Cher

least favorite flower EASILY orchids, then probably ROSES. if you rock with me, do NOT buy me orchids!

Ren and Stimpy mentioned !!

Graham Hoese

My wife wants to be a flight nurse and I have strictly forbidden it. She's trying to die and leave me alone with two kids I stg

polarkeef

I want to thank liz for answering with Anthony edwards. Definitely the right answer

Savage Dawn

The opening line really got me as a trans caucasian.

Andrew

Liz jinxed ant

elizabethonline

i once flew brace belden’s helicopter when he was in the peace corps and he similarly insisted on keeping to a strict schedule, presumably to return to his multiple wives

eduard karpoev

Russian Armenian here, fucking hate it here smh. Praying on the Azeris & Pashinyan downfall

Richard Cochnar

Eleanore Emhoff Darning their socks in the night when there’s nobody there What do they care? All the lonely people Where do they all come from

Mark Owen

There were two separate fatal helicopter crashes when I was on honeymoon in Kauai. Two. One was sightseeing, one was inter-island. No thank you!!!!

Gato gris

Kyrie cooked Anthony Edwards last night 💀

Best kinda ep: exploration of weird histories and down-to-earth flower and fashion talk. 11/10

Julia

Humble request for more Liz talking about her gardens

Oliver Crane

Genuinely started wondering if YC was doing Burroughs-style cut-up technique in the last 10 minutes

Karl Childers

i don't have an internal monologue, i have podcasts

Ant koz

Had a series of Bulgarian women as managers early in my career as a restaurant employee. I know they loved to cheat on their husbands and buy cocaine from the kitchen guys. Good intel? I’ll call the tip line…

Gordon Schmidt

You can get in a helicopter if it's a clear day but if there's any fog in the forecast stay the fuck out of that thing

Worldisafuck

I need Liz and brace to watch the video of the senior citizen being medeveced and the stretcher thing she’s in starts spinning out of control

LOAF

Love to see that one of my favorite pods is helmed by a fellow statice head. Wax flower and tea tree are also solid to work with.

J.P. McD.

Contract is still through 2025, it’s not certain TNT is losing it, and there’s a fair chance they’d find a way to keep it going anyway. It’s not over next week like everyone keeps pretending.

Tea for the Tillerman

Biden trotted out the babies in ovens line at Morehouse commencement right after talking about his dead son (blamed the Iraq burn pits) and dead wife and when they cut to the crowd they were all just sullen and on their phones.

J

It’s crazy how this assassination follows the plot of the Fallout New Vegas quest “Arizona Killer” in which the player character must assassinate the president of the fictional New California Republic, who’s visiting the Hoover Dam to give a morale boost to the troops stationed there. One of the options has you blow up his vertiberd (a vtol helicopter). Just insane to me.

Mark Owen

Isn't the I'm gonna come edit from TIR?

Lanabanana

"Aged out of couqettes" Brace you literally dated Dasha

Micheline

Feel like we’re due for another Truanon Rules ep

K H

They got Kobe same way.

K H

My first thought. Iirc it wasn't even for a serious medical problem.

K H

Peeny sniffers

K H

Just take an airplane or drive. Even a small plane is preferable. A jetpack even. Perhaps a miniature submarine. Even a motorcycle. Not a helicopter.

Wes

My dad died when the helicopter he was riding in got hit by a racing boat that jumped off a wave and hit it out of the air.

Eponymous1

Exactly what I came here to say. Cherilyn Sarkisian.

Eponymous1

They are. The percentage of helicopter pilots who owned motorcycles before becoming pilots is crazy high.

The Children of Jack Acid

Brace, if you read this... what were opinions about Israel like in Kurdish areas of Syria (and the rest of "Kurdistan")? I'd read some travel memoirs where people passing through the Kurdish northern regions of Iraq found that the Kurds LOVED Israel, maybe just because Saddam Hussein had hated Israel so much--and the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Shiv

rare forbidding the wife from work W

Shiv

“Allo!”

Vincent

If Mahler wants to get any movement outta me, hes gonna need to put out an 8th, if you know what I mean.

Marcus

They should put glider wings on the stretcher under the helicopter. If the helicopter goes down you just glide to safety.

Redwing Farm

I’ve lost all respect for Liz when she said she doesn’t like foxglove. I’m so disappointed

grant brown

YC was so locked in as Liz was describing the outfit 👀

Vincent

What's Liz's prediction on The Knicks next season?

J98

Liz is pissed the celtics are gonna win. Censorship by omission

Question for Liz: do you think the gays are rocking the jorts return bc so far Joel Kim Booster is the only person I’ve seen posting jorts pics who I think is selling em. The idea of straight girlies in them is ..odd!

Claire Simon

How dare you forget our First Lady of Armenian America, CHER

Axel H.

Love Yung Chomsky laughing at Brace suggesting that Liz wanted to call the podcast “The Birth of a Nation” 🤭

Rene Saller

Kim Kashkashian, the American violist, is fantastic.

CE

Speaking of geography, New Caledonia is one of the strangest places on earth. It was cut off from the mainland almost 40 million years ago and its biosphere dates from that period. The forests are museums of the Miocene full of extraterrestrial looking plants.

Ian H

My wife is a horticulturist and she absolutely *despises* roses, on the grounds that they 1) constantly spike you 2) are super needy and disease-prone and 3) look terrible 9 months out of the year.

Kiel Cone

Brace has clearly never read about The Byzantine Empire. Bulgarians are descended from steppe tribes like The Bulgars og and The Huns. The ERE gave the title of Tsar to the Bulgar Khanate to differentiate from the emperor in Constantinople.

Shea

They’re called hardliners because they’re the only real straightedge crew in the Middle East.

snapplepeachtea

supporting new caledonia's right to self determination and democracy, but for real and not sarcastically like i do for taiwan

Pelican Grief

Bulgars are but stewards of the noble wheat.

Christopher Price

trud (труд) rhymes with true and means "work". Bulgarians are south Slavs, and relatively independent -- they weren't Soviets and they weren't part of Yugoslavia.

Fernando

This was like Kobe’s but with a cheap helicopter

Dean Watson

Ngl want to see the peonies

Brian Long

“Can you do one normal thing?” Lol

drewb

I for one would love an episode on enclaves, exclaves, and claves of all kinds

Knosnothing

Liz in shambles after the Wolves lost to the Mavs

marco mcgraff

You 3 have been on such a tear, thanks for everything

M S

At least in my hometown (San Gabriel Valley area) the voters definitely knew what Prop 8 was. There were yellow yard signs for “Yes on 8” talking about protecting family values

elize

When Armenia Azerbaijan and Georgia set aside ethnic hatred and bring back Transcaucasia it’s over for you hoes

Roger Peet

Parasocial levels off the charts with this one. Do the Ferghana valley next!

J98

Liz Celtics are now 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Respond.

Alex

Lol for real? That's crazy

Adrienne Graf

Oh the gen z girlies are wearing these giant baggy wide legged jorts, in their relentless pursuit of Y2K fashion. I love Liz weighing in, as a fellow millennial I know it’s “cringe” of us to critique younger people’s fashion but IT’S AMERICA BABY! It’s my god given right to age and bitch about younger people’s incomprehensible style choices

Lilbean

Liz and yc fashion ep plea

Phoeb

Show us your peonies Liz

gibbypatrol

True anon summer reading list please 🙏🏼

Axel H.

Another fun fact: New Caledonia is part of the Zealandia continent that is mostly submerged. New Zealand and Norfolk Island are also part.

mario why

lmao i’ve spent a good chunk of time in bulgaria and they are a very diverse people. descending from the bulgars who were from eastern asia but by now the people genuinely look like they’re from all over. some white blonde hair blue eyes type shit and some that are fairly tan and have dark features. anything we call greek (salad, yogurt, liquor, etc) they call bulgarian. No idea wtf is up with their disintegrating government tho 🤷🏾‍♂️

Kiel Cone

In all fairness the Bulgars did turn one of their emperors into a skull jug like 200 years before Basil The Bulgar Slayer kicked their asses. Also I think his nickname Bulgar Slayer was meant to rile up The Greeks in the 19th century. The blindings were probably exaggerated.

jules

uyghur ep pls im begging

The Children of Jack Acid

My pun about this is "I'm not surprised the copter crashed, what with all the hot air surrounding it."

The Children of Jack Acid

It's fun at Christmas to get in a copter and look at all the lights. Costs probably $40 or something.

The Children of Jack Acid

Yes, and the proof is that Peter Fonda (cinematic motorcycle hero of all time) also played a helicopter pilot (In Dance of the Dwarfs.)

The Children of Jack Acid

what does stg stand for? "should take golfing?" "sometimes terrify gruesomely?" "shoot (with) tear gas?"

The Children of Jack Acid

According to some metrics, non-scheduled helicopter flights are 63.0 times as dangerous as commercial airline flights. But private planes are 271.7 times as dangerous! And driving or riding in a car or SUV is 453.6 times as dangerous! For the sake of comparison, Intercity rail (Amtrak) is 20 times as dangerous as a commercial airline flight. Scheduled charter flights are 34.3 times as dangerous as a commercial airline flight. Rail and bus rides are 49.8 times as dangerous (I assume rail is much safer than buses, but the metrics don't say). And non-scheduled charter flights are 59.5 times as dangerous as a ride on Delta or whatever.

The Children of Jack Acid

I read about this in the paper at the time. I think the initial boat crash didn't kill him, but just flung him into the open mouth of a Florida crocodile? And then a shark ate the croc. And then the shark was hit by the racing boat that was trying to catch the first boat.

Chris

ppl would be mad at the lack of evidence that the Chinese are doing anything wrong

K H

Jus like Kobe

K H

After that my father prohibited any further water recreation for concentration camp staff.

K H

Is that cringe to do? I've only seen older people critique fashion. I don't pay attention to fashion. What is the hip colour dejur to dye a butthole? I surely don't know, I just serve what I like.

K H

They are kind of always doing stuff wrong just by the normal standards of how we are supposed to treat humans openly. Is it noticeably worse than the worst prisons in America? Probably not. Also...Israeli organ harvesting. Might be something there. Kind of hard to really say anything to China about anything while so much of the south exists.

Alex Gorski

Nice to hear Liz getting into classical music, it makes me feel less insane when my parasocial friends start doing something I think is normal but seemingly no one else does. If anyone is reading this check out Bruckner 7.

ResilientBastard

Ngl sounds like Liz had a mean Armenian landlord in LA

Monica

All I wanted to do was immediately comment with pictures of my Granddad’s English garden and peonies for Liz but Patreon won’t allow us to have nice things

Gallo Altanero

Lived near Solvang during that conflict (Central Coast forever sorry my SF team) and a bunch of Armenian kids got a few brewskis or if you will going away beers to go fight. When their parents knew I knew of the conflict I got a little sloshed and good lord I chose a side there and then.

Gallo Altanero

Also didn’t Stalin purposely divide Armenian “enclaves” on purpose? Sorry only half way through episode.

Åłęxǎş

Lizzzz (ILY) as a fellow NBA loving lady, I would love to hear you talk more about it (I’m a fairly new fan so I’m trying to learn!) 😌 I enjoy hearing your opinions on the teams and prominent players and such. And I have a love/hate relationship with the Knicks but I still really like hearing you talk about them too lol 🫶

jules

the lack of evidence is why i want an episode lolol

enter_krzysz

I have a french gf, and the intro was uncanny

chorchy

Bulgarian Turks are a specific ethnic identity that are an imperial leftover

G

Mahler 👍👍

she's all rat

100% thought Brace was gonna say Cher when he said one beautiful Armenian woman. Disgraceful Cher erasure going on here. Cherasure.

she's all rat

Sounds like a standard Balkan nation

lunchables

Liz u have to check out the garden called Peony’s Envy in NJ!!

Doc Adna

True anon rules are basically hostile environment awareness training principles

Daniel

she a baddie / she showin her peonies

mario why

Mahlerpilled liz 😍

Nico

Oh ffs it's pronounced "trood", like Trudy but without the 'y'. It means labour. GET IT RIGHT PEOPLE!!!!!! Yes I'm Bulgarian, ask me anything.

Nico

It is.

Nico

There was a give and take of Bulgarian-Byzantine atrocities. I don't hold it against the Greeks, personally.

Randy Hendrickson

Bulgarians are south slavs that never saw the light.

Selene

so does liz think Ant is Jordan’s son

walker maddalozzo

is there an online place that some1 has been keeping an updated list of TA rules? I can only ever remember the one they just said... im big dummy!

some friends are part of ella emhoff’s knitting circle. which sounds like a lesbian euphemism but it’s a real knitting circle in brooklyn.

Rufina

liz mentions a pod ep about the nba with michael judge, does anyone know which one it is?

Rufina

ahhh thank you

Ellen Steinmetz

Brace babe..pls do not take a helicopter/airline that cannot get replacement parts lightly..coming from a person who grew up around airplane and helicopter engines and bodies...there is a reason engineers avoid Russian airlines and it's not political

Ellen Steinmetz

Ok reading this back this comment doesnt hold the weight I intended cuz I typed it drunk but pls don't get on skep old things that fly thousands of feet in the air and don't have replacement parts

Patricia Kaishian

thank you for covering Armenia!!!! became a subscriber for this episode specifically. Completely under covered geopolitical situation. it’s the ongoing Armenian Genocide.

LPO Crane Jefferson

I was at some "bazaar style" market in Manhattan a few months ago and I went to a espresso van outside the market and they were seemingly playing true detective s1 Rustin Cole "time is a flat circle" monologues over music heavily featuring a sitar. They had no idea what I was talking about when I asked them.

Ian :3

VISALIA MENTIONED 559 💯

Vivster

Liz be rocking with the L wolves where they at?

Ivan Getov

Привет приятел 👍

Matt Jolo

Great episode. When Brace and Liz really STRESS the importance of "NEVER RIDE IN A HELICOPTER" rule and the discussion of the hardliner mullahs. It's an all-timer.
