Just in time for a boring office day. Let’s ZORT it up

makaela

The worms are their money, the bones are their dollars

Abbi S

Literally listening to the Eating for Free coverage of this rn

John Lemieux

I just checked and it is a real Company, Aardvark Therapeutics (AARD)

Eric

Who wants to eat in the dark?

Devon

read too quick - thought we were going to hear about Brandy Glanville’s face parasite and RH Girls Trip

Emmett

Liz voice

pj

I’m reiterating….ZORT goated 🐐🐐🐐

Eric

Liz, what was the 5 hour movie!?

alec_irl

hoping you all discuss the bravo next gen nyc connection

Blank

Ty YC for the Alamo strike update. Also my last time at Film Forum, Marina Abramovic sat two rows in front of me

Laurel

Wow I’d never heard of Brandy Melville until Rax King’s hilarious essay on shoplifting in Sloppy. So stoked to learn more about this dubious corporation!

LET ME DELETE MY ACCOUNT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES

Might be a thing. I just never think about sweets/candy/icecream whatever, but then randomly I do and love it and wonder why I dont more often. Then just never think about it for months again.

Tater

I just listened to the entire Utah series again this week.

Steve S.

goddamn i love those sweetwater candy bags

Adam

i loved zort

Alex C

I have a positive comment for the warning regarding negative comments. As well as long intros

Dick Waglin

How am I supposed to get a handy at the movies with some waiter hovering around

Andrew Wacker

Zort was great, but all honesty the 2nd episode went almost nowhere.

Hugo

Buying a big bucket of popcorn and a carton of milk duds at the Schindler‘s list screening

ResilientBastard

They showed Logistics at Spectacle last year A+

gibbypatrol

Ezra is an all time favorite guest

gibbypatrol

I’m realizing that all my favorite series’ are everyone else’s least favs

John Hamilton

Just wanted to comment and say that Zort was my favorite series

Cal

YC sucking down some sweetwater candy is diabolical

Virgil

Sweetwater always picks the worst candy.

Virgil

I’m always disappointed with the selection lol

NobleStrings

sweetwater candy is so fuckin real

Vero

RELEASE THE (MOROCCO) TAPES

Adam B

Zort was good!

Steve S.

I really love the fruit flavored tootsie rolls and they seem to have a boundless stash

BolshieBostonian

For the record zort was a wild ride and I had a great time lol

Maya

zort was good utah was good just listen 5x and you’ll be fiiiiiiine

Doug Cartel

In my head libertarianism has no real adherents anymore but idk, maybe there's still guys out there saying you shouldn't have tax funded roads and should install a toll gate at the end of your driveway to pay for road maintenance or something

Aaron

Safe to disregard all opinions from guest after his “Mexican music kinda ass” take

Joey

im not sure how i feel about this reporter. it all feels a bit…capote

Jerrod Grantham

Look they're just a lot of fools who like to hate on the zort series but I thought that was Master class work

Scout

i loved utah jts one of my most relistened true mini series. zort was good too. dont listen to the HATERS and LOSERS

Ann Chesley

Sweetwater cals don’t count

Adam Arola

Ezra has lost ALL credibility with this music and food take. Completely idiotic. Bafflingly stupid. I can’t trust anyone who would say that to reliably observe anything, much less interpret any complex matters.

Scout

also the long intros sre my fav. im not here for information obviously this isnt a book im here for entertainment!!!!! people who say 'get on with the facts' are so funny to me

Egg B

No Regal Essex?

Julie D

I liked Zort

wormhole

I cant do this

bobore

Pre-lovemaking dump

Erik Bourre

Zort was great! just, complex and lots of easily forgotten factoids

Jingle Jangler

Zort wasn't bad, Utah is got lost quickly. Its all good

bobore

Nuuu

Molls

ZORT was one of my faves

Zoe

People hated the zort episodes?

Adam B

Just so everyone knows, the scary San Francisco guy who brace talks about with the candle: it’s Marty Balin from Jefferson Airplane

Vincent

I didn't understand what was going on in the Utah series, but I really enjoyed the idea that I might one day.

Rory Flaherty

Young Chomsky eating some of the worst candy in existence

Eden

S/o Ganymede by Marc Antoine Barrois

Maddie

Genuinely loved Zort, the fact that it took me three listens each episode to fully understand was my own shortcoming.. how does an ant comprehend a sunset…

C M

the Liz Voice on this one is really reminiscent of the old school eps. utah and zort were good! this one is good!

wormhole

the alamo turn off the ac on the cheap ticket days, almost passed out

JDF

Zort eps were fucking elite only losers hate

crunk

The Pangea tangent almost made me forget what the episode was about

Blank

Agreed it was uneven, definitely some great parts/good on the whole

Chapo Bath House

If nothing else, you get to hear people say Zort a bunch of times

Blank

Without the Zort eps I wouldn’t have known to swipe left on the non-negligible amount of feeld users with “rationalism” in their interests

Hunter Saint Hunter

Zort was... well. It took me 15 minutes to remember wtf episode ZORT was

The Pissler

The worst part about the Utah series was that incredibly annoying guest they had on. Guy was just talking completely out of his ass the entire time.

Payton M

Does Santana count as Mexican music?

Chas Padunski

Liz sat for the full version of Fanny and Alexander and shows no respect smh

JDF

Bard = the Harvard for drug-rug third sons

mills

zort good

Ahstin (she/her)

what the fuck did this guy just say about Mexican music?!?! 😡

O

if Zort has no fans then I am dead

Cal

10x Rogan Candace

pulled a muscle yearning

Fellas, if you want to impress women, always keep nerds gummy clusters on you.

Punished-Henry

Brace that “scent” is actually Molecule 01 🤓

Maurito

I loved Zort more than my beautiful Persian wife

Ben

The Utah series is amazing. introduced me to recluse and the farm.

Sydney

Liz girls rise

Justyna

Both Zort and Utah series were too short

Javco

As a Mexican I have to say regional traditional music is not the only music we have, look up one of the goats of mexican music, Juan Gabriel and you'll be redeemed Ezra.

phillip see more often

If you didnt like the zort episodes than it's a sign of your own intelligence. Personally I listened and understood while constructing important electrical equipment

United Eric Emirates

These idiots hv no taste in music or food. You guys need to lv the apt more

Alex S

I’m strongly pro Zort. More zort please. A zort hat

Abby

I feel beethoven is spiritually Austrian - sorry yc

Abby

fumbled a chance to mention karlheinz stockhausen

Ev

I liked ZORT. My Hans Moleman molement.

Keanu

I love your Zorts. And I love you. But I love myself more.

Chad Foster

Jamaica both great food and music

Barn

Personally Zort is my favorite series yall have done. Didn’t even know it was hated

whiteaker

I, for one, loved the Zort series!

Ash

i was pretty upset back in the day when yall stopped calling ghislane, jizz-lane. where was house style then?

Octopus

Morgan O’connor is grown-up Spider from Avatar 2

Pelican Grief

I liked zort but for some reason I instantly memory holed it

grymm

What does Liz say at 1:29? I heard Liquid Swords.

Tard Corn

I liked ZORT. I loved ZORT. I want more ZORT. I am a ZORT whore.

FA

People didnt like ZORT???? It was pure classico gumshoe cinema!!!!

Joey

I love Zort

B

broke: we like ike woke: we like zort just saying….

LPO Crane Jefferson

The end of the recent RWN or Chapo episode with Seth Harp touches on how the special ops culture trickles down to regular folk through the clothes they wear or the cars they drive. Just another facet to this with the cryptobros doing so much cocaine they feel as though they are special ops guys is...well par for the course.

Jon Wrokken

Haven't listened to this EP yet but I'm imagining the title sung to the song "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Shane

The ZORT series was so good. I had no idea people didn't like it.

Wawaweewa

Who doesn't like the ZORT series? I have my Brandy Melville shooters ready to slide on them

Eden

Paducah- quilting capital of the world!

tappcha

I liked ZORT

HonestEd

Wait a minute, yung Chomsky isn’t gay?

ya bamba

Broke my finger opening the comments after the mexican music comment lol

Nick A

Read the article and was praying y'all would cover this. Was howling at the part where all the retail models realized they may be culpable for kidnapping and torture because of their sexy mascot cattle prod parties.

Gabriel

This guest is right!!! All Mexicans make corridos and cumbia and only that. They only do it to make it suck ass too no one enjoys it.

Fresh Dill

Zort, Utah, all good. Double down on these type of wacky stories. Love it

Ben Hansen

Are The Monks German or American?

Norbur

I love how fast the food/music theory was completely dismantled. Also, Hungary has some of the yummiest comfort food in the world

YIMBY 4 HEAVEN

I ALSO ENJOYED ZORT AND STILL SAY "ZORT" TO MYSELF OCCASIONALLY FOR A SMALL LAUGH

Norbur

All episodes are good, true Anon never bad. 9/11 eps are the least fresh, but they're still great listening

Brian Olson

I would have happily taken 3 more zort episodes

fried egg

juanga my gay guardian angel 👼

AfroCommie

Negative comment left

AfroCommie

What, people hated Zort?

John Culkin

I’m with Liz on British food. Beef Wellington, Fish and Chips, Sausage Rolls, Scotch Egg, Sunday Roast. All really good .

Major Pisano

I like ALL the intricate ep’s like zort or Utah what have you. All of them, totally followed any of the cuts, turns and drops. Why? How? I’m not a simple slob, a basic bitch. Nope, right on every word. … and another thing. We need to bring back the little guy in the chair as a movie review. Snoozing to jumping out the west clapping. That’s kind of pictographs need a resurgence. Jus sayin, giving my two doge coins of thought.

Gabby S

The more countries I think of the more angry I get at the food/music theory

Jonathan David

Brace wearing Ganymede was a great little nugget for those of us in the Jeremy Fragrance Caucus

Hardcore Virgin

Content is good in those episodes. The issue is the guest. Mr. Ben. And his disgusting dry mouth clicking.

Brennan

how bout more il polpo

liz

IF YOU DIDNT LIKE ZORT YOU CAN GET FUCKED AND DIE. IF ZORT HAS NO FANS I AM DEAD. I WOULD PAY MORE MONEY FOR THE PODCAST IF IT WAS ONLY ZORT. LONG LIVE ZORT. ZORT.

E

CUSCO top tier German music 👆LISTEN to Cool Island (1982)

Scott Mosher

Zort was pretty boring but i listened to every second of them at work and I felt like i was in a fever dream

CC Lemon

Zort was so good I forgot it was this year

Ranney Lochtefeld

Whoa this theory on inverse quality of music vs food is absolute FAKE NEWS and I'm not standing for it

Tanner

I liked ZORT

wormhole

The lumpen bougrerioursie

wormhole

liking zort episodes is modern day virtue signalling

CJ

I think people are not listening well when they don't get a story like Utah or Zort, I imagine they're scrolling Instagram at the same time or something like that and your voices are passing through them kinda thing rather than staying engaged...

Madeline

Zort is woke

Michael S. Judge

Brace you REALLY gotta learn who Ganymede was

Kaleb

Aardvark sauce

helena

I loved ZORT. had to listen to all the episodes twice to actually follow it but they came out at the same time as I had long haul flights followed by an emergency hospital trip so they really lit up the hours and hours of waiting involved in that couple of weeks.

The Pissler

Brace is in rare form today. Just such a uniquely brained individual.

Throw Away

Dealflow is very Bataille

Jacobo

TrueAnon style guide correct once again. If you’re eating chicken tenders at a movie theater I should be allowed to hit my vape

Inmybirkin

Vocal fry absolutely assaulting my ear drums calling Mexican music ass this is terrorism

Nick A

you left out the part where they were tooling around podunk Kentucky in a Jeep Apocalypse Hellfire packed with guns and bodyguards. just look at this stupid thing https://www.apocalypse6x6.com/hellfire/

Isaac

You’re always allowed to hit your vape, just hold it in like a gentleman until the vapor dissipates and don’t go cloud chucking in public.

Isaac

Utah I agree on, Zort though, I listened to in my car where I have no option to be very distracted and I found myself rewinding constantly to make sure I was following along. Still a great series.

Jacob Makes

bard college mentioned 🗣️🗣️

Phillip Harris

I didn’t listen to the ZORT episodes but I would buy a ZORT t-shirt

Michael Coutts

1. I've known two different contractors who have been stiffed by a client, taken it to court and ended up with enough money to settle their accounts but still had to close their doors. 2. When carrying a judge for self defense, is it loaded with .410? That seems like the way I'd go if I was carrying that. I tend to prefer non firearm weapons for self defense.(Sap, G10 spikes,etc)

Joe Cusack

*hans moleman voice* I liked zort

fried egg

this story truly reeks of NEXT GEN NYC BRAVO

Pug_luvr

"Made to wear onesies" 👁 ABDL?

Alex

Huge congrats on 11 years brotha

goblinshoes

the silent majority loved the ZORT episode, don’t listen to the maniacs that comment and respond!!

King Krang

Zort kicked ass. Don't listen to the haters

Anja Konradsson

As soon as you mentioned that white guy with dreads, I knew I had seen him in a "what people are wearing in New York"- videos on Youtube. Cant find the video but I googled the name and that was definitely him!

Emily

Who the fuck didn't like Zort!?!?! Crazy people x

Blank

Oh right damn, mixing up my AI cults and crypto kidnappings again

Ben Cvijovic

mexican music is so good wtf you dumb crackers

Swag

Am I having a psychotic break or has Liz been cloned and replaced

Arid

Hey Brace I'm gay and you can do the gay voice, let's see what you got! Also, crabs definitely exist. I got it two years ago, but thankfully you just shave down there, put on a cream, and you're good. Not too big of a deal.

phoebe L

new york’s hottest club is a mansion in kentucky

Ryan

Using AI to remove the vocal fry from this ep

John Culkin

More for me. Fish and Chips and Sausage rolls are legitimately good, I don’t care who you are.

Snoo

Friends don’t let friends buy a Taurus Brace. Reconsider your friends

Houthi & the Blowfish

It's true there is an odd amount of candy and never used to buy any of it. Then when I got sober I just became addicted to sour candy.

GoyBulletStopper

I've never thought about getting one but that would be excellent

CJ

Happy 11 Brace

absoluteboi

this episode is getting ratio'd and im only making it worse!

absoluteboi

im not gonna cancel you guys for suggesting narcocorrido sucks, it's definitely for a time and place and state of mind, but mexican music is as diverse, if not more, than american music which is also largely present in mexican media.

Jordon Hess

Looking at swords, I believe.

Emily

Also I just love how across all manner of different TrueAnon topics/episodes, if there is any kind of insane, convoluted or simply mind-numbingly stupid criminal plot going on in America, you just know that there is gonna be at least a 75% chance that Eric Adams is somehow implicated loool

bizarrestar

Just finished Zort and was wishing for more and put on this on, very satisfying

Shannon Gallagher

I don’t understand the Zort backlash. That series is what brought me to pay for your Patreon, and I’ve never been able to stop saying Zort since!

elizabethonline

When I was 19 and freshly out I would spritz Sauvage before going to see my 27 year old washed up lesbian lover. Pungent

So this is how Brace smells… “Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Ganymede was launched in 2019. The nose behind this fragrance is Quentin Bisch. Top notes are Saffron and Italian Mandarin; middle notes are Chinese Osmanthus, Violet Leaf and Immortelle; base notes are Mineral notes, Suede, Akigalawood, Musk, Cedar and Patchouli. Ganymede from Marc-Antoine Barrois offers a dreamlike ride on the shores of Lake Maggiore. The couturier and perfumer Quentin Bisch collaborated to bring a contemporary view to the story of Ganymede: this epic moon of Jupiter discovered by Galileo in 1610 and covered with a vast saltwater ocean. Perfume rating 4.06 out of 5 with 9,560 votes”

Dylan

AMC has 25 minutes worth of commercials and almost always starts late it drives me insane

D G

Like... Like... Um... Like

Ben

Mexican music is 1000 times better than shitty British music this guys trippin.

D G

What was the episode about?

crunk

I forget

J

20:00-20:31 is a legendary run from Brace, deserves an animated short

Frances B

zort blasphemy is absurd

D G

So... to sum up: 2 coke-addled Bitcoin-rich American d-bags robbed a Bitcoin-rich coke-addled german d-bag. Then they did the same thing to a coke-addled bitcoin-rich Italian d-bag while employees of Brandy Melville watched. Fascinating.

Whiskeyjack

I stand un support of Zort! History will vindicate you guys.

Tessa

Congrats on 11 years, Brace!!!!

XxX_ShingyDisciple_XxX

every single movie theater does that, just show up 15 mins late high like an adult

NBAoldboy

Shout out to all the Zort heads

A Yee

During a layover my dad once bought 2 giant bags of duty free peanut m&ms and he stowed one of them in his luggage and the other one became his personal item.

William V

Dominican VPN?? What’s next Haitian Bluetooth?

James Whale

Maybe im just soft but this is to sad and mean for me ! Not saying you guys are mean just the people in the story!

Salex

me too

Meadowlark-Lemonist

I am usually not one to comment on Patreon, but hearing about all the Zort hate confounded me. Zort was great. Zort, Zort, Zort, fun to say, try it if you don't believe me. Zort, fun to hear about.

Salex

If Australia got moved around Pangea-style, it wouldn’t take forever for us to travel anywhere and the coke would probably be cheaper

Salex

Morgan O’Connor is on the path to becoming the evil dj from Zoolander

Sexual Harry Potter

I started to list countries that fit the music food rule and I just realized the more distant I am from a culture the worse their music sounds to me but the better their food tastes. I’m a colonial pig. But anyway let’s get back on topic with this Pangea thing

Selecao9

Saying Mexico has bad music is something you deserve to be shot for

Sexual Harry Potter

She hasn’t been saying “crasee” enough lately. This is not our Liz and you should do something about it

Sexual Harry Potter

When Liz implied that movie theaters are not real life I thought that was beautiful and I agree you should be able to satisfy your hedonism in there

Jasper Petty

Calling mexican music bad is the worst take I’ve heard on trueanon

Schwartz666

DVPN is my favorite porn genre.

Des Conrads

Lol had never heard of Brandy Melville before and after looking it up I believe it is a diseased concept

Sir Rockabye

I upgraded my subscription because I loved Zizz.

NeoKon Knueppel

The real epstein list is anyone over 21 that frequents brandy melville

Leah Churner

also Chavela Vargas, power lesbian

Jessie Cherbak

I liked Zort AND Utah. I am your ideal listener. Also I’m extremely gay

Salex

Aside from the jokes, these people were using cult shit on the guy, like coercive control, hazing, drugging, taking away his passport, holding his $. possibly sexually blackmailing, you don’t have to physically lock someone up to hold them hostage. I don’t know what the law is like in NY, but there isn’t a lot of legislation worldwide that protects people experiencing coercion outside of a domestic partner context. I guess we’ll see with the trial, kidnapping might be tough

Shiv

YC’s impression of us: “Ohhh gimme more ‘Eyes Wide Shut’” (actually accurate for me)

Shiv

can Brace do the voice

JDF

Alias McDork

Lulu

Gotta bless your Labubu with holy water. Bless up!

ethan

Everyone in NYC really does have an incredibly annoying vocal affectation

Sergei Filipov

Zort = My favourite of your series ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Much Love, Sergei

Jabroni Ludd

Here I am, ZORT me like a hurricane

WQ

Mexican music is good, Ezra just does not like accordion music which is reasonable.

Julian

Not taking this crackkker seriously after that Mexico comment

mouse eater

this story blew my dick clean off

H

Unbelievable that Brace has great taste in perfume. A queer friend recommended Ganymede for him, guaranteed

Iain

Zort was fun, but Il Popo was transcendent

Joe Restivo

I heard and silently chuckled at your Sweetwater reference YC even as it flew gently over their heads. Kudos.

Kelley

“I just like to say smock. Smock smock smock”

Fran

PLEASE let me come on to talk about working at Brandy Melville at 18 years old I have stories

Kevin

Big ZORT fans in this house

Standing the Gaff

Chinese food is amazing. Chinese punk is amazing.

Antipaganda

I love Trueanon's stories about rich, pointless, intensely stupid people doing weird shit and crime. Zort included. Brace and Liz have exactly the right amount of irony to understand the nuances of these stories. Everybody else has either too much or too little.

Antipaganda

Unleash the six-wheel inferno!

Junes2k

For the record, I enjoyed Zort.

Jack

Ezra Marcus absolutely VOCAL FRY MOGGGING Liz and Brace. West coast douchebags could nevah keep up with the top New york Muthafuckaaa. Impressive Vocal Fry gains from their previous ep

Ella Guru

"This theory is horrible" 🤣

ploob

And cold Mexico goes hard

Mood Slut

Ezra needs to stfu about music and food

harry

Zort was great. I was captivated

Z F

"Aw, look at his swords, I imagine." ? (Also my bad, I initially thought you meant at 1 min 29 s)

adam22

53:37 six seven

Ben Hilf

i enjoyed zort

Rhys Hayes

I also mocked Sauvage, until I smelled it - and then I immediately wanted a bottle. That shit is delicious

Rhys Hayes

Also, I fucking loved the ZORT series. It was like a deranged John Grisham novel. Never shy away from telling those stories, guys

cmanenarwhale

im getting ap US history flashbacks to plessy v. ferg

Chris

I am someone who buys duty free!! I live in Europe and some countries have candies that you can’t get elsewhere. Also alcohol is extremely expensive where I live so I always stock up on wine when I fly. Duty free skittles, however, is sinister

Jeremy

Not that brace wants an answer to “what do you people want?” But some more spider network stuff would be radical

Ben Bole

WHAT?? i loved the iconic ZORT series..

FA

The night after listening to this episode, I dreamt that me and a group of bystanders watched one man steal bitcoins from another man and then quickly transfer the coins among us via apple airdrop. I remember watching them enter my bank account, being worth 25,000 dollars, quickly spiking up in value to over a million dollars, and then the next time I looked back they were worthless. This, in my eyes, is a pure manifestation of the indelible influence of Dealflow.

Dylan

geriatric of me ig but none of the independent theaters around me do this

tyler

the Nitehawk hate is breaking my heart 😔💔

Redwing Farm

I wish you guys stuck to your roots went back to doing episodes like zort.

Brian Long

Brace feeding Marina Abramović skittles lol

1eyedbagman

2 ZORT burgers and a large bucket of fries please sir! Can’t imagine why any other listeners disliked ZORT, I enjoyed it

Clare

Very cool that brace wears Ganymede

Ramses

almost turned off the episode after the diss on mexican music. that was mad uncalled for, what’s this nerd talking about? 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Quinten Monson

We need to get Brace on the Mormon dating apps

Rob

With all due respect I don’t enjoy listening to this man whatsoever

Austin Williams

Podcasts are for reinforcing your prejudices and getting you pissed.

sarah

what’s zort

rizzler

good open short but oh so sweet

C.

of course Mexican music doesn't resonate with this soulless NYC drone

James M

With mah bois in the mansh in the hinterlands

Mood Slut

Dreams are powerful messengers

Mood Slut

Right? I love how his comment on it is “I dunno, it’s just Ganymede.” Props, Brace. It’s a chef’s kiss fragrance

Barry Nixon

Anyone else watch Next Gen NYC? Charlie is reality tv gold but I wonder if Bravo will let him back on the show next year- participating in a honey pot scam that preys on the exact age bracket of women on the show is oooff

A_ZO

no vampire weekend needledrop when ezra said “prep school gangsters”. missed a layup there yc

1eyedbagman

I’d blame Redbar for that, not really a podcast tho. Anyway what’s that got to do with my large bucket of ZORT fries?

Stephen Z

Love the Primer mention. My family watches it every Thanksgiving

christian

yung chomsky who is your sweetwater guy?

Adrienne Graf

Yes he is reality tv gold, very Spencer Pratt meets Chuck Bass. I’m also worried bravo won’t let him back on but good GOD PLEASE! Also I love the intersection of true anon listeners and bravo heads 🤝

Adrienne Graf

This is correct. Co-signed a lesbian currently packing some nerd gummy clusters

Barry Nixon

The duality of being a leftist bravo fan: oh man they are not a good person and probably shouldn’t be platformed… but they are such good tv 😭

Irene

serrrrriouslyyy someone hasn't heard Son Jarocho. But just got to "your theory does not hold" from Liz so we are saved

Lcfitz

These people are so pathetic omg lol

Jonboi 0115

Their “Mexican music being bad but their food is good” conversation is the whitest this podcast has ever sounded.

Sean

women and endurance athletes

Henry Baker

Seriously. What an insane thing to say

Mackenzie parvin

I worked at one of those movie theater restaurants worst job I ever had

Slik Smoothie

I don’t think yak realize this but the majority of normal fans aren’t commenting on every episode Utah and zort are required listens

gus

Im honestly pissed they didn’t watch it for research… do better!

brendo

Nah fuck that place I drove through there and saw the 100 ft tall Confederate flag they got flying next to the interstate

not reflective (vampire)

I was laughing so hard when he said "Their music? Kinda ass... " and my coworker pulled up blasting that Mexican oom bop polka stuff

Jon W

Germany has good food. You people...

nolita

Such unnecessary diss !! - also lets get into the Peso Pluma Lebanese Mexican of it all

gav

Paducah shout out is huge for kentuckyheads

T. S.

Im glad Liz was clearly offended by how stupid this theory is.

Free Lobotomy

The music in Mexico is absolutely incredible- that guy lost all credibility with me. He probably doesn’t speak Spanish even

Ben Silver

Guys you should let Chomsky talk more. I caught the subtle little Wyndham Earle reference a couple weeks ago he dropped lol

ERIC

Everyone's brother is from Paducah.

goblinshoes

it makes sense they hang out with 19 year olds because is2g this was my exact 19-20 year old codependent female friendship dynamic in college

Anon Ibid

Ezra needs to listen to Caifanes. Brace needs to listen to Klaus Nomi.

eduard karpoev

Damn I liked Zort, also one of y'all responded to one of my comments on the series which was cool

Eli Jennings

My refusal to learn anything in regards to crypto led to me not understanding most of the episode except the Mexico slander 10/10 overall tho

Corey Wagner

What 5 hour screening to Liz walk out of?

Natalie

Can’t believe there are ZORT haters smh some ppl lack taste

Natalie

Yessss I love bringing the massive bags of British duty free sweet treats for my friends in other European countries and vice versa 🥺

N P

Ultra-paranoid wanderer who believes he was secretly experimented on as an infant? Slothrop coded.

original gay pussy eatah

Yung Chomsky your voice gets weaker every time I hear it, do you need self defense training? Against the twinks that keep striking you in the throat when they mistake you for their stepfather?

Chapo Bath House

Idk when Walt Tremblay started possessing Brace, but I really like it

rough customer

ZORT and True Utahn were some of the best episodes. Reminiscent of Spider Network, which I am still holding out for more of.

earlgrey

had the same thought—lost all credibility

ilka trevizo

The Mexican music hate was craaaaazy especially from indie punk foos

Frank Rossitano

My 15&13yrold cousins who are obsessed w brandy Melville also told me Labubus are satanic

Louie

Justice for ZORT! I thought those episodes were fun and had no idea others didn’t like them

Free Lobotomy

Mexican cumbia is the SHIT!! It’s impossible to listen to (classics) Los Angeles azules or (new school) amantes del futuro and say it’s bad.

Benjamin Frew

I REALLY hate to be a sincere mothafucka, but congratulations on 11 years sober Brace

Houthi & the Blowfish

Forgot La Düsseldorf, but that's basically Neu! anyway.... Also Ganymed. No we're not talking about Brace's perfume, we're talking the space disco band.

violet

I just saw “Scam-Alt-Deleteman” in reference to Sam Altman and it’s very Sam Brokeman Jailed

G

Zort was outstanding

The wanting to slum it thing is real. I moved from suburbs to city when I was 19 just so I could do acid in peace and if that meant living in the hood I was down. It was a v good experience socially - helped me realize world doesn’t revolve around millennial white kids - WELL it does to an extent but I think you know what I mean it humbled me and shaped some shit for me.

I went through liking many pro-zort comments only to realize I was thinking about Ziz...

Tea for the Tillerman

Every time I listen to a crypto ep I kick myself for not maxing out student loans in 2009 and buying bitcoin with it even though I didn’t know what it was then or how I would have procured and probably would have sold it in a panic long before now

Blythey

Brace and Liz, too weak to enjoy the beauty of Banda and Tejano music, and the beautiful oompahs

Evelyn Guerra

First the fabuloso hate and now the music comment. Mexicans can’t catch a break

Paul Lynch

I was devastated to learn people didn't like the Utah series because I was so excited for a Nicholas Rossi update

I thought ZORT was going to be the next big thing. I went long on ZORT!

Loved Zort and Utah. Never apologize.

I thought it was weird that Ezra bragged about evading quarantine when traveling & testing positive in the super early days of Covid. Between that and dissing Mexican music, I'm afraid he gets the ol' side eye.

Zac

Lol when Liz said she was "no-plane curious" I stopped listening to the podcast for like 2 years

Bill Ogden, one of the lawyers who prosecuted Alex Jones on behalf of the Sandy Hook parents, used to smoke during depositions, but now that you can't smoke in the courtroom, he brings a bag of gummy worms and eats them "intimidatingly" at the person he's questioning.

AJ

This guest’s opinions on music and food reveal a genuine lack of engagement and curiosity with the world around him. He might be a good writer but comes off like an ignorant gringo

Ganymede is such a great fragrance. Quentin Bisch Stan 4 life.

Realizing now I’m confusing Zort with Ziz ….

Maybe I will! Maybe I will….

I loved Zort

MigglyPuff

There's a lot that I can overlook but saying México doesn't have good music is a choice. Edit: viva México cabrones 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 there's some real ones in these comments defending one of the best countries for music. Brace if your gringo ass is reading this listen to Chica Banda by Cafe Tacvba.

Nick

How the fuck did people not like Zort it could not possibly be more trueanon

Isaac Rainey

Zort was well put together. The Mormon stuff, less so.

And TikTok needs to learn who Pazuzu was

i never care if i’m not following the story, i’m just happy to be along for the ride.

Brett Rosenfeld

Thank you for defending British food Liz. I knew there was someone else out there that would agree

ch

Pausing to say that German music is actually really good!! German new wave (neue deutsche welle) is so underrated in particular. Kleenex, Malaria, Grauzone, Abwarts, and Fehlfarben are some of my favorite bands. And can’t forget Christiane F.

Mik H

Didn’t realise there was ZORT hate. I thought it was top tier.

Brett Barbara

YC justifying eating candy because it’s from sweetwater, incredible.

I enjoyed Zort. I also enjoyed Season 2 of The Wire 🤷

Zort was my favorite

As one of a dozen next gen nyc watchers I SCREAMED when Charlie’s name popped up. I want Teresa Guidice’s kid to call him Unc to his face

Who was talking shit about the ZORT episodes?? I loved that series

Joshua Bennett

I loved ZORT! I love saying ZORT! I had no idea ZORT was polarizing!

Labubu shares a resemblance with the demon pazuzu. which is great because they rhyme :-)

Some of you have never listened to Juan Gabriel and it shows.

the comparison to the Wuncler kid and his arch wigga accomplice was right there this whole episode and nobody touched it.

AMC has 20 + minutes of ads (literal ads, not previews), doesn’t even have humans selling tickets anymore. Awful, dystopian institution

OG Cracker Barrel

Every ep about these types of people could have been a Coen Brothers script in the 90s

Santino I

I loved ZORT don't let the haters get you down

Alias Dan Davis

The low key shout out to Sweetwater was charming. Nice nod to anyone who's opened a parcel of musical instrument stuff & been more excited about a stale Bit O' Honey than the gear.

The Adventures of Mac

WTF happened to Duplessie’s dad? Sends his kid to a Chinese bicycle factory then starts and scam crypto fund with him then fucks off to nowhere while his son descends into cocaine psychosis?

Nick

I just imagine the Duplass brothers

Jeremy Olivier

Wait there was Utah series hate? That stuff was amazing...

Cole Heideman

Germany has both good music and good food. German food is good on merits of their bread alone, but there's also good beer and great pork dishes. German music is pretty varied, but schlager is pretty bad tbf.

Nikki J

I liked ZORT but I did have to listen to the eps 3 times each to understand it enough to have an opinion. Thankfully I get all my news and media through true anon

lilahmander

I loved Zort but also, re: Charlie Zakkour on Bravo, I watched the show he’s on and he’s fucking insane. A washed up party boy disaster who alienates everyone around him and then somehow draws them back in. We got to see how much he and his father hate each other too. The whole thing was truly fascinating and hilarious.

NEEMS

i liked zort

Omar M

Pazuzu

MikeHawk

Which ep is Zort👉👈

Michael S. Judge

I can't swear it's still true, but from the ’70s till at least the 2010s & maybe now, Arkansas and Kentucky were big big cocaine hotspots. Major coke/paramilitary/CIA contractor shithead action during the Bush/Clinton imperium. Shoutout getting unambiguously murdered at Midtown Billiards in Little Rock, AR

Description of Morgan O’Connell gave me the impression that he looks like Justin Thereau’s character in Zoolander

Chauncey Gardner

Great story but god damn Ezra can never just get to the point and say something directly. Bro is a serious rambler lol kinda hard to listen to

Ben P

possibly thinking of Gary Oldman’s character from True Romance for Morgan O’Conner?

Holland Yongue

i’m sorry i could not focus on anything that was said after the claim that Mexican music is bad. like… Huapango, Danzón no. 2, mis sentimientos, anything by Selena, Natalia Lafourcade, Maldita Vecindad. I’m getting mad just thinking about it.

My dad has stories about high quality cheap coke in Arkansas in the early '80s when he and his friend were laying low in a shack in the woods outside a small town. He has always wondered where it was coming from and going to, but obviously knew better than to try to find out.

Michael S. Judge

I think I was last there in 2008, maybe it's changed, but I've never seen cocaine flow like local currency the way it did in Little Rock. It was like the legends you hear about coca leaves in Bolivia or opium poppies in Laos, not even "drug trade," just the most obvious and abundant source of value. I imagine, and I'm not being hyperbolic, you could've bartered coke for a Deluxe Reverb at Guitar Center. Shit moved like gold in a mining town and silver to an Inca. And rather shortly afterwards, by pure coincidence, I learned that all of it came from Iran-Contra, and that it was the same cocaine the CIA would've used for rock-cooking seminars in the city-center ghettos. Drugs have generally become more ecumenical, but back then, you had crack or you had crackers, and but rarely the twain should meet

The “inverse relationship between food and music quality” is the most memorably bad take I’ve ever heard on this show
