Brace you keep me sober

Damn. Should I finish night of the living dead or listen to the new trueanon? I’m a nerd aren’t I? Shit.

Tyler Hanmer

I was commiserating with my uncle Herb about how much the olympics suck not that long ago. Bring back Herbs.

Swamp Kingdom

I regret to tell you that "Well Water" already happened; it was called "Raw Water" and rich idiots paid bank for it

BruceInAdelaide

It is hard to beat "Fiji Water" getting key product placement as Obama was elected. Just SEARCH how hard it is for the locals in Fiji to get clean water.

Ontario Guy

A buddy of mine (who is a listener lol) worked on the broadcast team for 3x3 basketball, in the truck at the venue. He'll be heart broken.

Ethan

Liz is not a true hooper if she’s doesn’t like 3 on 3

T. S.

Man i cant imagine devoting your life to the quixotic goal of abolishing the olympics lmao

Japan’s daily count of new cases went from 1,400 at the end of June to 5,700 a month later. The olympics can’t be blamed on this increase, and I suspect they’re trying to treat each event like a bottle episode. But still, an Ipsos poll published just LAST week showed 78% of the Japanese population opposed the games going ahead as scheduled. A little over 27% of their population is vaccinated. While the games themselves will likely have no dramatic effect on case increases, I have to wonder if their government would have been better off listening to the opinion of their constituents and concentrating resources on vaccination uptake and driving down case increases. I mean, it’s not like they can claim the Japanese people will benefit bc of Olympic tourism, lol.

Bud Light

I knew a Herb. Old man. He had several Olympic gold medals actually.

Bud Light

He tried to make a land deal with my father. It fell through. My father has a well. As did Herb.

Red Herring McGuffin

eyy fams what's the piano music what plays between segments?

Jessica S

Second that, it was great!

Jessica S

Ok, I want video of the synchronized swimming.

I D L

and really it's only a NIMBYist position of "I don't want the Olympics in my town"

THE WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT DISCHARGE, I FEEL ABOUT DYSTOPIA

Sparrow

Long covid is not some crystal healing grift. It’s the real threat for the majority especially children per UK data. Excited for the burden on the healthcare system to explode with no m4a woop woop

Michael Coutts

Dystopia doesn't get the respect they deserve

Clark D'Agostino

I love to hear u talk about music guys. Hehehehehe

Rapidly moving the camera close to then away from my face and back: WHAT IS UP LOLITAGANG YOU ALREADY KNOW ITS YA BOY JEFF COMIN AT YOU WITH A FRESH VLOG

Adam Sullivan

I'd enjoy listening to a deep dive on the TEPCO/GE relationship, fault avoidance, and post disaster changes to plants around the world.

D.K. Wilson

“Cases went from 1400… to 5700 a month later.” I always enjoy how numbers can be stated and minds shut down so that nothing is left to tell us —— the numbers. All the while either listening to or having listened to a podcast dedicated to revealing the mal-machinations of the very type of people who seek to shut down thought.

Patrick Stock

God it was a fucking buzzword fiesta

Jack

“Put another dime in the jukebox baby!” - Brace probably

Nick

Gotta be a way to make some of these points without sounding like that much of a nerd. They don’t sound like the kind of people Liz and Brace would hangout with IMO

Soothingly Farce

I hate it when guests on my para-politics podcast use words like un-democratic, undocumented, nightmare, informal economies...

Evan Scott

that's just socal english

DH

If you can't take people seriously because they used a couple neologisms you don't like, that seems more like a "you" problem

Vincent Utah

NOlympics, you guys need to get involved in Salt Lake City as well. There’s a huge push from the upper crust to host the Winter Games here AGAIN, and we can’t afford it. Gentrification and rising rent/housing costs are already killing our communities.

Bryan eagle

Man lotsa bitchy people in the comments :)

Soothingly Farce

It was a great episode, the complaints are mystifying.

otis

DM for well water

ckoehler31

I thought this was gonna be about the portlandia episode

Tyler Reinhard

i drink well water and let me tell ya i’m so stupid that if i could pick it up for 5.99 a liter at whole foods i would

Lesley Anne Noelle

aww…Liz was a synchronized swimmer, that’s so cute. parents do the damndest things.

Lesley Anne Noelle

wait. Brace: pple got mad that we talked abt music, and they can go—- Liz : no, no. Brace/Liz: it’s none of their business. Me: yeah! wait, so…it’s a ‘faux-opinion podcast?’👉🏾that’s not what i pay my brownie, detective 🕵🏻‍♀️ patreon, thingy for.

Lesley Anne Noelle

no they’re not—>the Olympics should ✋🏿 stop, or be back in Greece if they want them. anyway, they were too #folksy, because i get annoyed by that word that only American politicians use. please don’t call people folks…it’s lib. it’s me. it doesn’t matter.

Jimothy Realname

Nah, it was a good interview. I didn't like when she said "latinx", yes, but it was still good.

Leftist need to get Barry Bonds into the Hall of Fame

Synchronised swimming: the clowning of watersport

Nic Warnock

Great ep! The book Inner City Pressure: The Story Of Grime by Dan Hancox inadvertently exposed me to a bunch of the issues in this episode (“undesirable” inner city communities and the London Olympics). Not fully related to the topic but it’s a really good book.

notadingdong

end this d-beat-centric discourse!

natalie

great music this episode, I really like the varied styles YC has been doing lately!

natalie

someone's gotta do it 🤷🏼‍♀️

natalie

also @ ian lamont, seems like they're actively opposed to and learning about as many facets of international olympics as they can, they discussed their travel to tokyo and it's specific problems for like 20 mins. plus why WOULD you want the olympics in your backyard?

uleg0

gonna be honest brace’s brand name is better

Rory

Brace hit me I’ll invest a couple Gs

Noah Cutts

Brace, I do sales in the natural products industry and can help you with branding and have the connections to help you bring your water to the market place.

Yup

So glad Yung Chomsky is good at music since Liz an Brace are not

roz pea

not a single akira joke .....

Herb Elliot won gold in the 1500 meters at the 1960 Rome Olympics. He’s one of Australia’s greatest athletes

SoldierBlue

Yung Chomsky is the best podcast producer

As a self identified bimbo, plastic surgery as a way of skirting facial recognition is absolutely blowing my mind 🤯💉

Glad to see the Olympic committee strike at the imperial core.
