One Banger After Another

Iain

Knew this would be about Pete’s drunk ass as soon as I saw the title lmao

Hellworld

Pete Hegseth's chest tattoo makes him look like he loves the country of Georgia.

Drew

I thought One Bottle After Another was going to be a deep dive on Brace's obsession with with being a baby and drinking milk from a bottle

Natalie

where's my TrueAnon listeners with an alcoholic parent at 🔥🔥🔥

Lkost

I’ve never been earlier💪💪

Hellworld

Brace Brace Belden Big Baller Brand

lynchianphallus

went to watch the film yesterday. and now another day, another trueanon banger

Mungo Franczak

Who would be a better SoD be honest; Pete Hegseth or me with 2.5k+ hours in HOI4, even though I rage quit whenever I start losing wars?

Alexander

Peter Brian Griffin Hegseth

sofia

the title made me lol

Katy s

I had a dream last night that you guys released a 3 hr 30 minute episode of audio clips you recorded in 2020 but never released ?

Mountain Dew Or Crab Juice

Should we even be looking to the warfare of the past at Hearts of Iron players, or the future of warfare at all those people who cut their teeth on Command and Conquer?

wormhole

god for once i’d love to hear liz snap and start screaming “I’M NOT A FUCKING NAZI BRACE” while audibly strangling him homer/bart style

Dick Waglin

Robbe Belden is right females always tryin to trip you up

dominic

Good morning tronies have a blessed day

JDF

The right about face and drink like a gentleman episode

i am a bird now

I went to middle school and high school with a kid with the same first and last name as me except our middle names were Joseph and John. Two letters into the middle name!!!

Mungo Franczak

Ooooh don't you worry. I've been shit at Grand Strategy games since C&C: Red Alert

ResilientBastard

“Rob Belden” does equipment rental and repair

Alex C

Ann Franczak is no different

Rob Jaffray

This is wild cause I used to spell my name Rob-E for like 5 years until a teacher made me change it

Don Burrachos

He’s my coworker changing the oil on a boom lift right now

Peanut Horse

Love to hear that gong in the morning

HonestEd

I went to highschool with a guy who’s first middle and last name were the same

Gus Frank

6:36 Pause You are telling me there were two Yung Chomsky’s with the same middle initial in the same class? Hm, I don’t buy it

absoluteboi

thanks for the post guys!

lynchianphallus

it was not, in fact, the title of this episode

Clean Shirt Piggie

Liz should do a weekly nfl preview pod now that we know she’s got the nfl ticket plan

Clean Shirt Piggie

George Foreman had a dozen or so kids all named George

ploob

Yuri's Revenge!!

Maura Willey

insane title bait and switch

ploob

First to KILL YOURSELF

Sunriser

Im disappointed this episode was not named "my penis is furious and needs to shout"

Gabby S

There’s a character in One Battle After Another who I thought looked like Brace and then he turned out to be a podcast host

Nate Wood

balinese names are based on birth order, first kid is wayan, second kid is called made, then nyoman then ketut. fifth kid is called 'wayan balik' which just means 'wayan again' which is tough

Rory

Jake Gyllenhaal tried to option Brace's Syria story but idk what happened, so probably was supposed to be Brace

Clean Shirt Piggie

What about Pete’s hoops career? Liz might be interested

Evan Scott

The German word for church is Kirche (pronounced roughly KEER-shuh) which i point it out not to correct Jasper but it's funny that Peter Bryan just made something up to say at kirks funeral

Clean Shirt Piggie

Hegseth sounds a bit like the republican Mayor Pete but with a drinking problem

Russell Elmore

We had a friend who we'd almost convinced to legally use RAW-B for a while

Rob Jaffray

That would be awesome. Too much of a coward to legally change my name

Russell Elmore

I met a set of twins in college with my last name and their first names were my first and middle.

Mungo Franczak

Jesus Christ, I forgot how scathing that email from his mom was.

Nico

I never quite "got" middle names. Where I'm originally from, the name between your given and surnames is a patronym indicating "son of" or "daughter of".

Danny

It was literally 10

Robert Sayre

Brace Bobby Belden -> Big Baller Brand -> Big Beautiful Bill

K H

It's crazy how Trump finds everyone with the most punchable face for his cabinet.

sono

cannot emphasize enough how freakishly common of a name Gunner/Gunnar is in Norfolk, VA

gibbypatrol

PUHLEASE do a muppets in manhattan-esque episode from twin town

K H

In...the sense of being dumber in every way? Like he is pure id and Pete Buttigeg has no id. Just an empty conduit for Democratic money, while Hegseth is overflowing with booze and flagrant insecurity?

Claire Simon

Peter Brian Lois Quagmire Hegseth

dominic

It never is…..

AB

The ep photo at first glance looks like bizarro Harley Flanagan

Esteé Dee

Please emphasize the last syllable in Hegseth. Peter Bryan HegSETH

Ella

For people or dogs?

Doug Cartel

Trump may be wearing diapers but his body shape is also very common for Schleswig-Holsteinian bog apes

Doug Cartel

This is very timely what with him inviting everyone to some kind of Pow-wow at Lejeune

kain

my penis is furious and it needs to shout

Chris

Kirche is German for church, hegseths booze addled brain again failed him

sono

people 😭 i knew a set of brothers named gunner, jet, and major

Mirjam Dornauer

Jon Joseph( was that his name, can't remember right now) gave me his address at their gig in Munich, even though it was clear as day that I wasn't older than 14, lol.

Doug Cartel

It's so cool to act like the ROTC asshole from Animal House

Doug Cartel

It was Animal House right? I forget

Ant koz

Take my comment from last episode about the conservative minds obvious origin.. homoerotic curiosities, and multiply it by 10 for closet king Hegseth

O

Peter Bryan Quinby Hegseth

Ant koz

I’ve always felt Trump was more “chicken nugget” shaped… essentially the same thickness from knee to shoulder. Fascinating really.. and very cool!

D

Now that I'm too old to be in the military I advocate for mandatory military service so we can move past veteran hagiography in general, but more importantly, get rid of military discounts.

Christa

Literally was coming to find this comment

Blank

BeldenBLift

Blank

Her?

Bennett

Dude is from my hometown. Grade A asshole.

Doug Cartel

I guarantee the troops started calling themselves "war fighters" because of some fucking Lockheed ad they saw once

bob

Brace you gotta join the ranks of the Bobs. BBB

Quinn

Very cool that this episode released today coincides perfectly with Hegseth ordering an emergency meeting of generals and admirals! Cool stuff!

Kula Palayam

For a second there I really thought Liz wasn't gonna say Bye Bye

Quinn

Georgia on My Mind (and Chest)

ems

This week I have been thinking about the extent to which peoples’ unresolved childhood trauma is destroying the world. Prompted by the news about elons dad. But this is another log on the fire

YIMBY 4 HEAVEN

holy shit ANOTHER guy named "Yung Chompsky" thats fkin crazy

wormhole

Master Of Disguise = worth a gander!!

_orange_lazarus

What timing! Any predictions? Saddam-style house cleaning?

Rory

Liz shared the Jon Hamm drunk story before with no worry of self censoring... freedom is truly dead

i shyr

Peeta Brian Hogsuckth

Clark Stoehl

Glad we can confirm Brace's p(Doom) of 10%

.

I think that’s the best prediction. Like what jasper said at the end of this episode….Testing the waters about who is loyal and who is not. I’ve seen some people say it’s about Venezuela war plans but there is no need to bring all of these people in across the world for that.

elizabethonline

Brace baby belden banned from women’s colleges for believing too firmly that all women are beautiful

Cal

More like Brace “but uh…” Belden

Brian Ward

Funny how badly he wanted to get involved in a quagmire

Brian Ward

Imagine listening to this and realising that your bullying some kid 39 years ago about his peacenik scandi dad would lead to the hegseth coup

Petrorenminbi

There was a Dr. Gay Hitler in Pickaway County, OH in the early 20th century

Max Evans

Hegseth called a meeting with like every general right before(?) this dropped 👀

Mark Owen

St. Catherine's is a women's college, my mom's alma mater. Went to a wedding of one of my 2nd cousins there.

CJ

Our daughter's initials are ASH, I wonder if that was subconscious bias for Pokémon

Ben

He's gonna tell everyone how overrated Lou Reed was.

Pete

I only ever listen to Trueanon and old episodes of Bookworm anymore

Miz Mak

Someone on TrueAnon Reddit posted recently about working at a liquor shop in DC where Hegseth buys his liquor.

Hunter Saint Hunter

Every time you guys call him just Pete all i can think about is the dog i had that we started calling "pete" because it was more polite than Penis Breath.

Joey

Brace for sure has seen Master of disguise

Joey

Bob Belden

Jasper Petty

New Mexico’s National guard has been deployed in Albuquerque for months and I’ve seen no national coverage

lynchianphallus

dude i am 80% that character is based on brace, i feel like pta would know of trueanon it isn’t even that far off

Peanut Horse

Convo in the last ten minutes is crazy considering Hegseth is having a huge meeting out of nowhere with every senior military official

AB

That tracks

Jasper Craven

Bill Clinton

Yoo that's crazy cos that is actually exactly how we chose my kids middle names, are you guys following me or something creepy

Matt

Good stuff

Miz Mak

No, sorry. I just tried to find it and couldn’t. It also might have been in the WashDC Reddit. I checked that one too and didn’t find it. Ugh.

R. Karchnyak

There’s a brotherhood only we can share.

Alvaro del Campo

It really is baffling the level of idiot bozo sitting at the highest levels of the entire executive branch like you almost gotta ignore it or you’ll go nuts

Miss Mad

Brace Brace Brace is some shit you could get away in Portland

will michel

peter brian? this is a family guy fan’s worst nightmare: how can i possibly choose!

Mark Owen

Glad he stayed late to talk about J6 stuff, I was always waiting for people to get more into why Dick Cheney said to not do a coup but most people wanted to talk about the Q Shaman.

SPENCER PIBBLES

Wonder if brace would change his 10% after hegseth called all the generals to conference

Toshio42

"My Penis is Furious and it Needs to Shout: it Has No Mouth and it Must Scream"

James Walker

I love Brace & Liz, but Liz’s Valley Girl inflection is getting worse. I’m not judging - still absolutely love her - but it’s honestly distracting and weird.

Marko Loko Lopez

Brace Brace Brace, please please please please learn the correct use of the term "you can't underestimate ..."/"it's impossible to underestimate ..." etc. you always use it in the wrong direction and it hurts me for days, days I tell you! The way you use it, you always mean to say "you can't overestimate ..." (eg "... how important the Candace Owen Show is in shaping the mind of the 21st Century American")

Joey Fazzoli

How to delete someone else’s comment?

bmun

George Smiley, in the books, is described as looking like a toad who wears noticeably poorly-tailored suits.

Antipaganda

War is spreadsheets, logistics and deceit now; we need EVE players.

Rory

Elizabeth Anne Franczak Queen of Poland

Ben

Many are saying Hegseth was the Justin Blackmon of political potential.

Matt Jolo

AKA BBB, AKA Big Booty Bill

Reece Coren

hey brian remember that time we became an alcoholic defense secretary

Eli Jennings

So much diaper talk in the preeminent conservative podcast about Israel and how old it is

Henry

Did you like it

Henry

I'm fine with having a revered volunteer force so long as the wars are just

Christopher Price

to my fellow dudes, do not follow brace's advice -- for women middle names are of similar importance to their rising signs.

JoJo Sliwa

Isn’t that a Harlan Ellison story?

Laura

I accidentally started listening at 1/2 speed and thought they had recorded the whole thing in a slurring, drunken manner. Form meets content style. No, it was just on 1/2 speed.

KatrinH

Kirche is church in German not Kirk. And it’s not pronounced that way at all sorry! Pronounced “Keer-che” with soft throat C that Germans do.

Danny

How much do I have to pay to get a petrodollar explainer episode with Adam Hanieh

St. John Whittaker

PBH reminds me of any of the characters from Marl Twain's The Private History of a Campaign that Failed. It seems like he enlisted with some ideas about chivalry, but quickly learned about the reality of war. Even PBH's story about The Vietnam vet telling him "don't miss your war" is reminiscent of the tales Colonel Ralls tells Mark Twain's gang. It seems like at least some of his internal tension stems from the disparity between his self image as a knight of the round table, needing a Damsel in Distress to save, with the actual facts of his life at Guantanamo and in the Middle East. Maybe he resents the idea of women needing always to be saved. Maybe he resents the fact that he never got the honors promised to him by his home-grown American mythologies.

D G

I want to hear Brace's tight 10 on every subject but I will settle for his loose 20 or whatever.

Jon Lyons

You can tell how immature a man is by how strongly he believes women are all congenitally wet blankets (or "hypochondriacs" for being made uncomfortable).

Zak K

Hegseth is the type of guy who asks for the strip clubs wifi password

Stephen

Star point guard?!?! Peter Brian Hegseth CANNOT GUARD ME

Paul Brewer

If you’re doing numbers for names I recommend using Latin: Primus, Secundus, Tertius &c

Brian Long

Brace accurately predicting what's coming.

Brian Long

Brace in a past life.

Dennis

False and dumb

abby

The way Liz pronounces aufhebung is crazy lol

12345

Love the idea that its in any way special for a white person to have a name with religious meaning

D

"Maybe he was butt chuggin!" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard a guest say on TA. I legitimately did a spit take.

Sean Whitney

Brace will get a military discount anywhere I work.

Shan

Middle names are very important, but so are “names I was almost named.”

SMP500

I saw the vagina monologues when I was 14 because I thought, based on the name, that it was a comedy show…. in retrospect the Vagina Monologues have probably informed a lot of my life.

CALIFORNIA DEATH WORM

Listening to the intro as a Rob is giving me sensory issues. Thank you.

J

I know it can’t possibly be the case but it’s strange his all three of his kids names’ are Fallout references. Gunners are a heavily militarized and hostile faction. Boone is a former sniper for the New California Republic First Recon. Rex is a cyborg dog you can befriend in New Vegas

Joey Fazzoli

I have no balls and I must cum

Isaac

Damn Liz hit the tip line regarding John Hamm 👀

Kompromatic

Why would you post something like this

JDF

willing to be temporary sponsor for Peter Brian but DEFINITELY NOT hearing that man’s 5th

JDF

Eve Ensler (formerly known as) is now a wildly hack Mary Daly/ Andrea Dworkin style National Socialist Feminist-TERF

Sean

this many New Vegas references Pete’s gotta be an egg

Tvvvv

That’s not surprising.

Tvvvv

That’s like the end result of all Id pol essentialism

DarylBarenziah

Goddamn guys yall really pull through everytime. I read this guys book American crusader recently and I’ve been W A I T I N G for the T r u e a n o n Regarding a well RegaRded individual. He should keep drinking, I’ll sit down and relax. Wish I could drink but I’m 4 years sober and goddamn this guy is drunk.

DarylBarenziah

He’s like the hawk Tuah girl of American male drunk toxic masculinity

ERIC

God damn we gotta fix the family model.

.

Crazy comment to leave on an episode about a freak man who hates women.

Mike

Fuck yeah a man of Vermont the Green Mountain Boys!

Dakota

I feel better about naming my kids blade and samurai

El Cat

It’s hilarious that when Republican women have a women’s convention they decide to invite not just a man, but a man who’s notoriously misogynist to be a speaker

Jon Lyons

Around the same age my mom roped me in to watching it with her on HBO like "heheh you should see this and maybe learn a thing or two for when you start dating" and I was like "yeah good idea" and I just remember it being extremely anodyne sex-nerd material, like it's hilarious that anyone would ever be outraged or threatened by this. iirc my big takeaway was "hey yeah there ARE a lotta different kind of lesbians, aren't there?"

fried egg

john shrek mcphee? you mean miss ERIKA JAYNE “EJ GLOBAL” GIRARDI’s new boyfriend?

Lulu

I know someone who knew him when he was in school, needless to say, they said he was a dick.

El Cat

Tacos tacos tacos tacos

El Cat

Was this recorded before the meeting was announced. I agree that the meeting is a big deal and probably something bad will come of it

El Cat

My thought also. WTH? How?

SMP500

EJ GLOBAL

Jon Lyons

I suspect a lot of conservative women feel like being a guy like that must be SO AWESOME

Cameron

I can’t believe there was another kid named Yung Chomsky

Sneakin Sally

I know for a fact the place Liz is referring to Hamm getting shloshed at is Lil Dom’s in los feliz. Lol I used to live right there as well.

Jon Lyons

fr I'm from Hugo and went to stuff in Stillwater all the time (because Hugo is just like a gas station, a feed mill, and a guy you can pay to park your Cessna) and it was a genuine stab to hear Pete was from there.

Dan Rincon

Highly goodly episode. I feel like these fellas & girl R kool.

sarah

Preach

Leo

Im floored at how gross this guy is

sarah

this has me fucked up but thank you for the info

Sneakin Sally

Lil Doms in los feliz , kinda like the regular customer bar fly who’d forget what he just said and buy rounds for people he just met. Basically held court. And then when he was dating jenny slate id see them at this other spot La Poubelle right there at the base of beachwood. Hes got good taste i recommend both places highly.

NeoKon Knueppel

A true alcoholic blacks out and instinctually finds their way home like a carrier pigeon

Barnabas

Former ROTC super soldier here who got out after being an "inactive reservist" for 1 second, and I for sure be getting 10% off at home depot

Barnabas

Former ROTC super soldier here. Only ever was an inactive reservist. I for sure be be stealing my 10% valor at home depot

John Chaffeur

Would love a brace, liz , Chomsky, react to one battle after another

nightshade

A second Yung Chomsky has hit the podcasting tower

Zac

omg he was dating jenny slate?

Zac

wrong, he looks exactly like gary oldman

Zac

That title was legitimately very funny, gotta give credit where credit is due

Zac

Brace: really, no last thoughts? Jasper: actually, it seems like trump is plotting a military coup.

Zac

that got me good

Zac

you could make the case that their relative deficiencies go a long way to illustrate the differences between the social bases they wish to animate

Sam

I would. Hands down. And, as his sponsor I would instruct him to put a bullet in his head for his 9th step amends.

CJ

ahhh the old Jacob Rees-Mogg school of child naming where his his sixth kid is legit called Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher...?

Julian Gricksch

"Kirche" is church in German, but it is not at all pronounced like "Kirk". It may sound closer in Dutch though where it's "Kerk"

Jacob King

It’s church in Scottish which is basically English

Brian

What's wrong with name Brian?? I actually know someone named Brian and he's super cool, funny, rich, ummmm tall and ripped, and uh gets tons of women and hes so cool he actually doesn't care when people say his names weird.

Brandon Stockwell

I gotta push back. If you need to be carried home drunk you aren’t an alcoholic, you’re just cool.

IEatPaste

Bobby Beldan is what im calling you now

Mr guy

Straight the fuck up

lynchianphallus

was kinda bummed that it wasn’t an adaptation of vineland because i loved that book sooo much, but it’s such a good and distinct film that now i’m really happy we get these two incredible works of art that are related but work in very different ways. so yeah, it was one baaaaanger.

lynchianphallus

banger banger banger. definitely worth watching in theatres

cellardoor

Liz, Brace, YC, if I go to the live show, can we play chess?

Michael S. Judge

"Peace Through Strength" does have the ring of "Strength Through Joy," the Nazi slogan and weird bread-and-circuses program

Marcelle Roulin

Gotta wonder if Heggy watched Shellac, Arab on Radar, Don Cab etc. at that insane outdoor festival at Princeton in 2000

Conor

@4:24 Family Guy ass name

Max

He probably just wants to hang out with his boys.

Evan

Big Bructural Bracey

Max

If you want to to be able to say about yourself that you aren’t sexist at all, you need to be able to listen to women speaking in a valley girl accent and take them seriously, talking about any subject. Because that’s just how many women be talking.

drizzly_november

A loser gets blacked-out and carried home by disappointed friends/coworkers. The true alkie disappears for 6 hours and is carried back by the winds.

D

I assumed they were talking about Bryan, not Brian.

Emily

Hopefully their middle names are better but I’m not hopeful

Alex

Not only are they Trumpifying the military, they’re recruiting 10s of thousands of goons into ICE and giving them weapons and training. They are establishing a preponderance of force that will be difficult for democratic will to surmount

Ligma

It's like the weird american christian version of those women who write love letters to serial killers

Jm

Peter Brian meg(yn)

Tom

Also it’s more like the Dutch word kurk (soundwise) which means cork

Barn

The email from his mom is insane

cmanenarwhale

cant believe there is someone else named yung chomsky out there

Rob and Margo

I knew a guy named Ian whose initials were I.A.N.

Lizzbo

IM ELIZABETH ANN, TOO LIZ. THAT'S COOL. SYPHI-LIZ'S UNITE

Noah Tapper

Kinda funny in this context since they were more opportunistic separtists than USA dudes

Vincent

Brace Bob Beldon. BBB. Big Beautiful Brace

Octopus

I work retail and the corporate suit boss above my manager named his kid maverick. Our workforce is mostly female too

Mark Owen

His cheating wife calls him Toad. And he looks like Obi Wan Kenobi/Hitler.

JDF

Hahaha

JDF

The spiritual life is not a theory 🤣

landon

1:48:13 - out of step reference spotted

Luisa

YC with my fav movie facts! Imagine how solemn it got on set after the news broke. Pistachio Disguisey turtled up moment of silence

K H

In Korea people share one name and are differentiated by numbers at the end.

Alice

We need an ep on wtf is happening w Sarkozy Gaddafi campaign money…

Caleb

He's a figure whose sense of fractured masculinity derives from his mistaken interpretation of the grace and tolerance that the women who love him show to him as evidence of his own personal strength and capacity to control women. American evangelism, which has denigrated God's capacity to forgive and redeem human imperfection into total license for the endless sinning of its flock of prodigal sons, is therefore the perfect vehicle for him to project and sublimate his depravity, cruelty and stupidity into a performance of empty "spiritual struggle" and redemption. But redemption, is of course, an act of God not an act of man; if there is a hell, this pathetic piece of shit will burn in it for eternity.

Alex Gullen

So, the war chief orders US military officials from around the world to Virginia next week for a big ‘pow wow’. This called in by the shy, Minnesota.West outspoken student who used to ‘parade’ around Princeton University as editor of the ‘Princeton Tory’ student magazine (regularly dressed in his ROTC ‘Tiger Batallion’ military uniform) infamously caught plastering blue posters over the then Vagina Monologue flyers on campus with “My penis is furious and it needs to shout”. Listen up people, this ‘dick’ is bustn to nut!

grace

you forgot to include the part where he threw an axe at a guy

duckenheimer

in his defense he genuinely thought he was handling several of them at one time, so I also forgive him for thinking they all simultaneously hit multiple guys

duckenheimer

do NOT let that child aviate in the greater Indochina area

duckenheimer

a lot of gen x people think my son being named "Primus" is really funny for some reason

ems

Great comment. It feels hopeless since it does not matter what this guy does as long as he engages in this narrative of spiritual struggle, always “trying to come back to Jesus” after he fails (obviously he’s not but as long as he says that he’s clear). It’s like some weird psychological insurance they have where as long as they can say they messed up but saw the light they’ll be forgiven, and worse, upheld as a man of Christ for still coming back despite their missteps

Dame

Minnesota mfs looooooove to talk about their Scandinavian heritage

Stinkamus

Pete has always read as ftm to me

Caleb

The psychological insurance formulation is spot on I think. It's cus the Christian Right has a double view of God. For them, he is God the "forgiving father" and therefore being a total piece of shit is not merely acceptable but a precondition of receiving his grace and paternal attention. But, for their enemies, God is the old testament God of judgment. Daddy will punish your enemies and love you no matter what. I think this is the predominant ideology held by every Burger Reich operator and tactical sales associate who does too much sports betting or drinks too much. In light of this double view of God, it's very interesting that Peter-Brian has an ambivalent relationship with his own too-permissive father.

J

"Stereo ideas" is good, Brace is a natural poet

Special Adeline

My friend used to work with a couple of Jewish sisters whose last names were Adolf

Special Adeline

Also I think they listen to this show so if they check the comments then #sorry for stealing your anecdote

Liam Farley

Incredible to learn braces initials are BRB

Liam Farley

Brazil not doing middle names is not really true they just have like six names that they don't use in the middle that are technically their first name.

Jake

One Stickney and Two Stickney. Toledo war participants.

Tarab_ish

True mastery of drunkenness, imo, is to have a subconscious reflex that fires when you're blacked out and tells you "I must walk home now", and then with an hour or so of walking you regain the ability to use google maps or use a bikeshare bike

Tarab_ish

Psychoanalysis Liz is the best version

Internet jones

Do the guests ever get jealous of the other guests introduction cause jasper got maybe the best one ever LOL

Joey Joe

Yung No Relation Chomsky

Liz

Liz we have the same first name and middle name!!!!!!!! Women unite!

Luis

bob

Seinfeld ass take. Naming my kid Seven

gex

Hey what’s the background here?

Pug_luvr

A+ episode title

Nick

Felt very self conscious listening to this ep at work with that cover art

DarylBarenziah

Dude they should bring back Jerry Lewis, not Jerry Lee Lewis, but Jerry Lewis back to life to play RFKjr cause brace really brought together something there for me in that imitation. I like yung Chomskys mild laugh track in the back ground.

Charlie Bold

Actually, Kirk is Dutch for church, not German. Pete probably was drunk enough to mistake Dutch as Deutsch

wailing ken jennings

thank you for walking through your names, brace. my peanut gallery input is that i would most certainly buy a buick from a "bobb belden buick/chev/olds dealership". just saying.

Mia

how did i know brace was gonna say brian uvalde taylor thomas

Mike Malloy

Homeless vet who angrily insists on being labeled an unhoused warfighter

pizzapope

kerk is Dutch for church, kirche is german for church

AfroCommie

ahum, Kirche is church in german (I'm only german speaking don't @ me)

Breakaway

I went to that! It was sick.

Quinn

RIP Freud, you would have loved Peter Brian Griffin Hegseth

swervegriffin

You shoulda brought up the tip you got last year on that tip line ep abt his being kicked out of his position at a Catholic school for being a pedo or whatever

Eric

Huge indictment of Princeton that Pete Hegseth got in there and I didn’t

Twall

Brace Belden: Libertarian Warlord with his horde of child soldiers

Nick Cole

That guy was really funny

Snoo

Liz didn’t say “buh bye.” I want a refund

Bess C

Omg Liz I’m also Elizabeth Anne we should be friends

I am become reply guy

If those are the names of his sons I cannot IMAGINE what he would name a German Shepard

Gabriel Flynn

She did, it was bonus track and you stopped too early

Snoo

OPE CANCEL THE REFUND!!!

Patrick

Pete’s dad Brian Hegseth was the athletic director at my high school in MN and Pete’s claim that his dad is a pussy is true cause Brian would consistently cave and fire a coach when some parents complained

Cian Ó Ciarubháin

My dad was in Al Qaeda in Iraq. He used to tell tales of "Al Ghul", an American warfighter, whose movements were so erratic he could take out 20 insurgents in the space of a single whiskey bottle (~75 minutes)

Phil Darovic

Need a D4vid episode pls. I don't have time to do the research myself

Brace is right though. I hike & when I first started I fucking suck and would get demoralized. What I would do is go one the hiking app alltrails & look at reviews were someone would say "This was such a good hike for my 7 year old" and it would turbo charge me because no little kid is gonna out work & hustle me.

they can only repent by turning their two-foot long turning sticks into switches for peter brian griffin hegeseth

Technically Kirk is scottish for church. It’s Kirche in german. Sorry for erm actually’ing

Feeldix Bieberman

Need an ep on Ben Roberts Smith the disgraced Australian SAS soldier. Absolute psychopath. And we have had two incidents of SovCit killing police officers in the last couple of years (the recent guy Dezi Freeman has been on the run for like a month now)

Evil Tadej Pogacar

PBH (Peter Brian Hegseth) can stand for Pubic Bone Height. Funny initials.

Episode idea: Buyers of Radio Shack, Pier 1 Imports and other brands accused of running $112 million Ponzi scheme

Ronin Fredricson

Fuckin Scandi. I should have known he was one of us but I was holding out hope that he perhaps could be Dutch or something. Either you embrace being mild mannered and awkward or you become an embarassing impotent angry chode but you'll never be cool regardless. You weren't born to be a viking. It's fall, you should be picking mushrooms right now.

I've watched the Fox News interview w/ Hegseth's mom from 9 months ago. It seems less uncomfortable and more forgiving of Hegseth than how you describe it here.

1:12:20-1:14:05 great shit

Jeremy Olivier

getting the guest so comfy they accuse a cabinet secretary of butt chugging is EXACTLY why I listen to this podcast

Why isn’t the episode titled “My penis is furious and it needs to shout”

OG Cracker Barrel

It’d be funny if one of his kids transitioned and his brain melted from it. Gunner is now Gunna.

Jolene

Boon???

super cute

“What would you do if you opened your eyes and saw a grown man wearing a diaper?” I’d say “Hi Brace”

Alexandria

I know a Hittler currently living in the NYC area!

Alexandria

I don't suspect they're gonna be like "hey wait I'M the Adolf here!!"

Alexandria

I was thinking they knew before and still filmed so yours makes more sense

Greg

Brace and I apparently have the same middle name. I will cherish this knowledge.

Greg

Genuinely cannot imagine getting through normal life, applying for jobs etc, with that as a name. Even with the extra T!

Mop

Having the name Peter Brian is really quite a Quagmire

Alexandria

Very successful career also but I won't give him away. He's under 40 though

CJ

Would this be more of a Rachel Dolezal style transition..?

blinkpup

leave the tboys out of this

CD

Brace + Liz in Psychoanalysis really paying off this ep

blinkpup

i ♥️ deconstructing this man from the armchair

OG Cracker Barrel

Is Gunna the feminized version of Gunner? I’d like it to be.

CJ

I don't know I just thought of the rapper 😅 I'd prefer Gunnhild tbh

Had to check if "peace through strength" wasn't lifted from an Orwell novel

Don't dox Hittler, he has it hard enough as it is

Erm actually there are several varieties of Lower German where it's Kirk, Kerk

Will anyone over there ever figure out that it's Tim WALZ and not Waltz? Other than your coastal ignorance, I love your show.

Sardonic

Ok but for real it's wild they pretty much based a character on Brace in One Battle After Another

Angus

iirc in ‘Call for the Dead’ George Smiley is described as straight up ugly (I think he’s compared to a frog maybe??). More Toby Jones than Gary Oldman.

Angus

“Hi Bwace”*

sean graf

what is coastal ignorance? not knowing what it's like being stuck in a cultureless food desert surrounded by bigots?

Homalek

You kinda know you’re a huge POS when your mom can’t even defend your character.

Ugg Grompkinsonward

Odds are someone has already posted this here, but I'm still gonna shoot my shot: Boone's Farm Hegseth.

Chapo Bath House

Pointedly not drinking until you're legal age is the center of the Venn diagram of sXe kids and children of alcoholics, so I can totally buy that a future pathological drunk wouldn't get into it til grad school

Chapo Bath House

My theory is that his mom tried, but kid just had bad vibes

The Adventures of Mac

What’s with the “door kicker” euphemism? Why not call it what it is: death squads. If Peter was a member of a US death squad in Afghanistan then that explains just about everything that’s wrong with him.

The Adventures of Mac

The idea of ironically giving your kids dog’s names is fucking hilarious.

Alexandria

The tip was he's not allowed on campus at his kids' private school due to custody issues (common shithead Dad sitch)

Haven't seen it, is someone named the Gay Pussy Eatah?

Close, "Billy Goat"

Michael Xin

Brace Robert Belden. B.R.B.. B.R. Belden. B.R. = "Belt-and-Road". New monicker: Brace "Belt-and-Road" Belden

Sarah S

He gets the “so be it” from his mom!!

Andrew

I think your credulity toward Hegseth’s mother kept you from the subtext that her “big strong man to hold you to account” comment was twisted commiseration with Pete about his pussy father. Throw the whole family out.

chorchy

Hands up if it makes you really sad but you already knew that it’s fucking rapists the whole way down

Absolute Terror

Wonderful speech starting around 1:12:25. I really love it when Brace gets passionate about something that he truly believes
