Journalist Matthew Petti joins us to talk through his reporting on 10/23/23, the day of Jihad that never came.

The Day of Jihad That Never Came

A Fanatical Israeli Settlement Is Funded by New York Suburbanites

Trouble at Teaneck High

The West Bank Comes to New Jersey

Meet the suburbanites who fundraise for Israeli settlements

I reported a piece for the New York Times on antisemitism. I found a major error, but the Times didn't care.

Hasn't came YET! I am still working on it though.

Watermane

The Al-Aqsa hospital family being burned alive in their tent flipped a big ass switch in me and I do not know what that means

Natalie

Andrew Locke

The hardest day for Christian white women in memory

MG

Happy birthday of jihad, Brace!

K H

Liz is basically a doctor. Are we not supposed to kill ourselves on day of Jihad?

ploob

Happy Birthday Brace!

Shaggy

Username checks out

Brian Long

Happy birthday, Brace!

Travis Salyer

I'll have to inform my mom she shares her birthday with brace and day of jihad

Juan Gonzalez

Fuck it, I’ve retyped this for the 40th time and doing it again won’t change anything, but I think that’s where most of us are at. I don’t really have the words that seem to explain how disgusted and sad I am

Mackenzie

brace and i share a birthday but no one gave me alms

Watermane

it is jarring to me that at this time I couldn't tell you what I feel and I'm, too, at an absolute loss for words

foul tarnished

Beautiful church bells in braces audio around 40:48

Return of The Mac 2nite

Brace’s Jewish stereotype voice is just a Norman Finklestein impersonation lolol

Ryan Fox

Happy brace day

Ian H

@ 4:19 Liz refers to getting people sick as "low-grade jihad", which is also the contention of Yogi Adityanath and the Congress Party government of Himachal Pradesh, both of whom passed laws requiring restaurants to post the names of cooks on the door to combat "spit jihad"

K H

Oct 7th killed "a lot of civilians." Deboonked by Israel and how "a lot" can ever be defined for anything that happens to them.

Rachel

Fun fact my adult rec soccer game in Woodland Hills California was canceled as a precaution on “day of jihad” last year

AshRei

Anyone got a link for the Democratic candidate who attacked two teenagers over writing "Free Gaza" in the sand? ~43.30

leiper

Speaking as a genuine member of “the 65-plus set”, I eschew your accountancy TikToks and countervail Liz’s order not to wish Brace a happy birthday by wishing him a happy birthday, which falls on my wedding anniversary, so, happiness to us two too. (Excellent ep.).

Mark Owen

in Butt Town I'm turnin', into Brace's, worst nightmare

Kamran Husain

bro if i can’t get ten dollars from iran i don’t think it’s anything close to veritable

Gator lord

Happy jihad baby brace belden

CJ

It's his evil twin

Doug Cartel

"Sleeper cells" is just warmed over remnants of cold war era Manchurian Candidate bullshit too

Doug Cartel

I would love a satirical documentary where the day of jihad actually happened and they have videos of heavily armed taliban soldiers taking up every seat on a JetBlue flight Egyptian Muslim brotherhood replacing the statue of liberty with a veiled saudi arabian lady

Zzz

Allahuakbar

Watermane

yeah I had to dumb down my plans for today because I felt so incapacited

Lulu

Belated day of Jihad wishes Brace habibi, Mashallah.

yerrak

Love this guest bc I too have developed a “it was a Jewish ___” vocal tic

Richard Cochnar

Italian women and Jewish women are 100% the same.

AfroCommie

I'm also sick Brace, my throat is sandy ☹️

August Gardener

Dammit Brace, I can’t NOT look up ISIS nasheed now! Another list I’m on I guess.

alex

wow day of jihad AND brace’s birthday! i hope he gets twice as many gifts

Matt C

Can we coin the term “Smallocaust?”

Oliver Crane

They took that Iggy song where he straight up talks about sleeping with a 13 year old off streaming

Isaac

I’m not gonna say what kind of Persian, we know I can’t say that…

grymm

Am I the only one who doesn't remember any of this?

Doom Hermit

I live in a rural, farming community in western Washington and a local boomer was positive that Iran was going to activate sleeper cells comprised of the migrant, Guatemalan farm workers.

Gato gris

Brace stop denigrating the great state of New Jersey

Jon W

It's so cool to have the exact same illness as Brace. I feel like we're really contacting.

Colin Helpio

Quite literally lost in the sauce

Michael S. Judge

Second appearance of that specific ISIS nasheed

cl

ya know Covid is still maiming and killing...don't spread your crud please.

Hardcore Virgin

I bet you didn’t think you’d upset me with this highly dismissive comment and you could just go about your day thinking nothing of it. Well, you’d be wrong. I’ve been on social media sites such as this and have never been first and today I finally was and you, frankly, ruined it. Thanks a lot.

Gabby S

happy birthday brace why the hell do you know aj & big justice’s ethnicity

Jimothy Realname

My coworker was worried about the day of jihad and i was just like "this sucks, i cant believe i have to work on jihad day"

CE

Brace, we share a birthday!

Zzz

I can’t believe I’m just now realizing this and I’ve watched the entire sopranos series

Zzz

Congratulations. I see you, I hear you, you’re valid 🎉

RanCarter

I love Liz's 'can't separate the art from the artist' take at the end there. She just calmly drops a simple truth bomb that made my day. (Happy birthday Brace)

Zzz

💯 I feel less alone reading these comments 😞 no words indeed

J

Happy braceday birth!

Aaron Lazar

Two things: 1. Also my father’s birthday. Good digits. 2. Iggy in fact does have an excellent collaboration w the welsh techno duo underworld (Trainspotting fame) that produced some of the best songs of his career a few years back. “Bells and circles” recounts his love for smoking on airplanes and detours into the end of liberal democracy (yup). “Trapped” is a techno banger about having a mortgage and wanting to die. Both are excellent. No I’m not a techno guy.

Aaron Lazar

My friend will (was in the sopranos - meadows boyfriend) has the timeless quip: “Italians are just Jews with gym memberships”

Alek

I will be seeing thee oh sees on this years day of jihad

Louise

I'm always brewing healing potions (got a mullein glycerite sous vide going rn) and recommend elderberry for a boost to your immune system. There are additional potions I'd take but they're a pain to make and hard to come by but I feel like elderberry is everywhere these days. It's my new favorite flavor of kombucha. But also, just. Rest. Stay home in bed. Being sick is the gods' way of saying you get to be a gross hermit for a few days.

K H

People that smoke, vape, or for any reason set off the smoke detector should be shot or forced to drink that poison vape juice that had caca in it or whatever.

K H

I'm using this next year.

K H

What part of Jihad day do you not understand?

K H

Are we still allowed to hate Italians?

K H

Guys remember to unsub before you do anything out of pocket.

Ligma

We should make it a stat

TrueAnonPod

very interesting... not familiar but will check it out now that I'm recovered from a very brief bout of the common cold

Ligma

Episode suggestion: the history of what led to the formation of ISIS, and the state actors involved

chronye

a 7 yo arab child just had her throat slit at a detroit park.. she survived .. occurred around the day of jhad

Ant koz

Was gonn be furious if brace didn’t shout out butt town when we got to the bottom of iggy discography… should have never doubted my boy

Manny Tsang

I am so happy that brace knows about the Costco guys. I fuckin love watching those guys

Pat Thomas

Shout out mercy high

Zzz

Lmao Will aka Finn said that? I think he’s onto something.

CJ

Yeah that shifted something inside me but I can’t find the words yet

Antipaganda

Seeing someone burn with an an IV in their arm SHOULD flip switches in us, if only it worked on everyone.

freeway ricky loss

always happy to give Reason Magazine some clicks, thanks

cl

and you know this how? Covid can be very 'mild' and yet do beau coup damage to organs...including your brain

cl

happy birthday anyways, brace...reality is a bummer to most

Hilary is Pant-suited Syphilis

The best Memri TV clips are the ones where they fuck up and accidentally debunk their own propaganda talking points. Like the Nasrallah clip where he pushes aside the “global Jewish conspiracy” and goes on to (very accurately) describe Israel’s role as a pawn of Anglo-American and European imperialism in the region or when he says he wants to see a pluralistic multi-cultural democratic Palestine where Jews and Palestinians live side by side as equals.

BeanCurd

Butt Town is practically punk legend frfr

Jingle Jangler

Burkina Faso Model UN checking in, i feel like that gives me some street cred

CJ

Thanks, I think this is so catchy and is gonna live in my head and ears as a worm now 🥲

Jacob Shulkin

Brace when you diagnose modern Judaism as Holocaust Judaism, this reminded me of what Rabbi Shaul Magid called Judeo-Pessimism: the belief antisemitism is eternal and there is nothing we can do about it. I grew up in a modern orthodox religious Zionist environment and I will absolutely attest to both of these descriptions as being accurate. The more I’ve learned about the history and development of Judaism, the more I’ve realized that the way we were taught to think about all this stuff as kids is actually a pretty recent invention as far as the ~2500 year history of Judaism goes.

Ellen Grace

And I just used three minutes of my life here on earth listening to butt town

Natalie

awesome ep guys, def a contender for an unlock (if the guest is ok with unlocking it bc of his job lol), happy belated birthday/jihad to Brace !!!! (sorry Liz)

Natalie L

I’m also a Friday the 13th baby :)

Adam H.

They are definitely Italian.

K H

Stop.

Mountain Dew Or Crab Juice

Those of you who call yourselves Marxist-Leninist-Jinpingist, put your Yuan where your mouth is and declare a Day of Xihad to resist american hegemony

Bess C

I’m the kind of elder zoomer who was alive for 9/11 yet I don’t remember it (even tho I was 4 and probably should?), but I do very much remember watching the “war on terror” everyday on the news with my parents. I can remember the feeling of being a kid who was learning about the American civil and revolutionary wars for the first time, at the same time I was watching these “wars” that we were supposedly fighting in on tv everyday, which was confusing for a kid because ur learning in social studies what it was like when the US was at war, but we’re also at war now? But it doesn’t seem like we’re at war but also I’m just a kid so maybe I wouldn’t know? And then the wars never seem to end so this is just what being American is like??

Michelle

Happy birthday, Brace - sorry you have cooties.

Bess C

Like, I was aware of Saddam and Iraq before I even really knew what 9/11 was. Which is so strange to think about 20 years later. But as a kindergartner in March of 2003 I remember the news my parents watched as being all Iraq all the time

Bess C

Holy shit the Patch mentioned lmfao. It’s just a suburban Chicago newspaper, has different editions for different areas of the suburbs. Also Nick Fuentes did model UN at my high school

sne

happy belated brace day 🫵😁

cl

la la la la la la la lalallaaaaa only works so long

Ellis Roper

So proud of these guys. Having a professional journalist on as a guest must be a real treat for two aspiring journalists like them.

Kaleb

Ya I just looked it up Befumo

Schmidty

I did MUN in Chicagoland at that time so definitely crossed paths with him at some point, feel like I got hit by a psychic blast or something lmao

Savage Dawn

I got to be USA once and France once. France was my best showing, I stopped Russia from using nukes!

Savage Dawn

I too did model congress or senate, Id like to forget that.

plum

Happy belated bday brace

Bess C

If u remember any really loud obnoxious republican guy from lyons township it was him

Private Shawts

Does anyone know the deal with Elica LeBon?

Christopher Rager

Looking for the bursar’s office because I just got schooled on Jewish-Italian commingling. I knew there was a tangible reason for the hats.

elizabethonline

y’all see russell brand’s amulet ? fire

Jonica Stewart

Been watching Flesh simulator on YouTube and reading Eye of the Chickenhawk. You should cover this sex ring

Shiv

Grindr? I don’t even know her!

David Constine

CORRECTION Brace - the Costco family is half Italian half Jewish. Father is Italian, Mothers last name is Goldstein.

Donnie Ka

They already did episodes on the Franklin Scandal Cover Up which overlaps with these cases (as well as Johnny Gosch, Aquino etc). If you want to know more there's info on various blog posts and subreddits. Flesh Simulator's video was interesting but kind of all over the place, as often

JB Bowser

Happy Birthday Brace, idc what they say about ya, I think you’re cool and funny 🤙 saw ya on the Tubi talking about ancient aliens or whatever, it was actually awesome to see you on there 🎉

Alaina Nuvola

I KNEW that Costco family wasn’t Italian! We are not the same!!

Zzz

They’re fucking amazing

Alek

I CANT WAIT

Chris

Unhappy birthday?

Chapo Bath House

Brace's theory reminds me of my own: While not all Italians are Poles, all Poles are Italian. To synthesize with Brace's equation: by logical extension, Polish women are Jewish, and Polish men are not (except for those who actually are). I must say this is spot on in my own family but I'd like to hear others' thoughts

Forrest

Hi Bess! We meet again

Bess C

Forrest what’s up!!

C

Same bday as my dad!

Dani

i was thinking the opposite (not all poles are italian) but i’m also taking that from personal experience. maybe all italians *in italy* are poles?

enter_krzysz

Great point by Brace around 51.00 about the central position of catastrophe, tragedy and persecution in some forms of Being Jewish... something discussed and problematized within Jewish communities already 100y ago
