The first thing I thought of when I heard about the assassination was your excellent episode with Jemima Pierre.

sammi sweetheart

Briz & YC… I got dumped a few weeks ago and your new episodes have kept me company on some rough days. 😭 Thanks for all of your hard work, for real.

What’s with the random ten seconds of explosions in the sky at the end? Strange. Forgot about them.

Clinton body count continues to rise (halfway joking)

Hmmm I wonder if the CIA director's visit to Brazil and Colombia have anything to do with the protests going on today in Cuba. Bolsanaro called Cuban doctors that were posted in rural regions and hard to access regions of Brazil "terrorists" which led to them leaving the country. However, he reversed course and asked them to come back because of the covid crisis (which they did I believe), but its no secret Brazil's covid response has been abhorrent. Colombia's government just expelled the number 2 diplomat, Omar Rafael Garcia Lazo, I believe in May for "activities incompatible" with his duties. No explanation as to what those activities are have been given by the Colombian government. Colombia and Cuba has had tense relations over the past couple of years as well.

I find it ironic this comes two days after Cuba announces its 2 shot Soberana vaccine along with a booster is 91.2% effective against covid (this is the second vaccine developed by Cuba, the first being Abdala which had similar results). It is in the process of being authorized by Cuban regulators and then will be sent to WHO for approval. One country has announced that they will be producing Soberana and that is Iran. The Cuban vaccines use a more traditional method, are much cheaper to produce, and easier to be stored and transported. Cuba however is dealing with a surge in infections and only 1.5 million of its 11 million plus population being vaccinated. Keep in mind too this past week that Pfizer announced it will be producing a booster after news from Israel states the vaccines are less effective against the delta variant..

I think it’s First Breath After Coma or something off that record.

Andrew

Lmao the intro made me think of the Dr squatch soap ads on YouTube

Sam Register

I know yall pronounce stuff wrong on the time, but yall were literally on the pod with someone where she pronounced Moïse right a bunch of times, idk why you need to be say it comically wrong after that

a clash of purple

Honestly, just speaking for myself, ever since I heard "Haiti" pronounced correctly, now I can't pronounce it the correct way properly but I also can't pronounce it "Hate-ee" anymore. Some of us are bad at talking. We can't all be Mike Judge.

Cory

Yeah really. Liz said she listened to the old interview in prep for this episode? Kind of embarrassing

Gulb

I am smashing that like button right now!

Ivana

Great episode, thanks for untangling some of the Haiti treads. I'd love to hear a Cuba update episode soon. Trueanon and Blowback - best podcasts in the known universe! Bye bye from a Serb in Serbia :)

Michael

It makes Moïse sound like an old russian jewish imigré who runs a deli in Queens.... Moyse It's not that hard to pronounce it right, like listen / watch any news report for 5 seconds

Erin

Shit up bitch

LL

How are y’all gonna talk about mustaches and literally not mention yung chomsky 🤨

LL

This podcast how i cope with being sober and taking a break from sex 😭

fjfffffddd

The mustache meme was unfortunately the funniest thing millennials came up with

zora.crawfish

Okay so Liz is Ren from Even Stevens, Brace is obviously Louis and Yung Chomsky is... Tawny? Brace might be Beans actually

Andrew M

idk what this means but you have so much charisma that i find myself agreeing with you anyway

Goon Doubloons

This episode was the perfect opportunity to use the word "fusillade" - super dispirited.. Lolol

You Hait to see it.

Where's Haiti 1?

James Murray

I can't believe the Chicago Teachers Union killed the Haitian president. AFL-CIO more like AFL-CIA

Jon

When I heard "guy-ly" I thought it was a reference to My-Lai and was very confused for 20 seconds May I suggest Dude-ly as a possible alternative?

Jimothy Realname

I thought if was a My Lai reference up until i read your post

Dan Greene

I love you guys but your French pronunciation is painfull. Moise is pronounced "moy-ease" and Solanges has a silent S

naplanx

I love you guys but can Brace be less shrill... It's so ...

W Milly

Unrelated, is AOC CIA?

Jimothy Realname

No americans can pronounce french. Also see them, or chapo, pronouncing montreal
