"The city of brotherly love" is from the Bible. Philadelphia is a biblical city.

Andrew P.

Jon

Denver listener here, so stoked y'all are coming out!

sir peepus

YC is Kazuhira Miller

opal

you guys have once again forsaken your chance to come to FL and lead a citizen’s arrest on Matt Gaetz

Joshua Trupin

I'm in Colorado but like two hours from Denver. You should do a show in my shitty mountain town, population 600, with no amenities, venues, ski areas, or Thai food.

James Masters

What about Vegas? No one good ever stops in Vegas, we need GOOD shows!

K'caj

Bless your soul, Chomsky popped in to tell me like 30 seconds after I posted the comment. What's the anticipated price?

The Pissler

You guys have done multiple episodes about Utah. Feels like a weird vibes show in SLC is coming

Daniel Murray

Scrapple is a blend of usually cornmeal, “leftover” pork, and spices in a loaf. Slices are pan fried (I like mine about a half-inch thick, but some prefer it thinner). Should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Absolutely delicious. I have strong feelings about scrapple.

Zach

Neither of you guys make any sense when you talk about show dates

Tyler Graf

Bring this guy back soon!!

brodie

There is so much shit that happened during the George Floyd protests that was absolutely fucking insane. Crazy shit in DC. That video of cops pelting people with tear Gas will be seared into my mind for the rest of my life. I think about it every time I drive past there

Eggie

Glad to hear you're coming to Cambridge! You will have zero fun here.

Eggie

No hate, but I have to agree on this one.

Tyler

Colorado checkin in

Inmybirkin

The pallets of bricks was a very real thing I know for sure

Levi Robinson

I would actually cream my corn if you could go under 18

Nick

See you in Minneapolis 🫡

AbeLinkin

Hey just because I’m a stereotypically named Boston Irish guy doesn’t mean we all suck! But I live in Bethesda now and I think I’m in the pit of hell surrounded by demons. See you at the live show tomorrow <3. Also fun fact, Cambridge and San Fran are the only two cities with proportional representation voting systems.

AbeLinkin

Pittsburgh > Philly

AbeLinkin

The fun is in Somerville right next door!

Peen Israel

Solid ep, guest was great. It really helps to be smart and articulate when you’re talking about feds, etc.

Alal Alal

I appretiate that Brace knows King Diamond is corpsepaint

Gabby S

Larson

Kate Richardson

So glad you’re coming to Austin! South Austin!

Yevka D

Liam

Phil Ochs is another incredibly tragic COINTEL PRO victim

Brian Rad

I was just bitching to a friend that you were going to Portland but not Denver, can't wait!

Boggs

Is there a Patreon tier for Brace and Liz ASMR? Thanks.

James Murray

Come out to Detroit sometime!!!!!!

Toddy Todd

Please bring the bush did 9/11 merch 😩

Matt Tibjash

Can you guys come to Cleveland or Columbus or somewhere in my god forsaken state called Ohio?

Ian

Brace reads and Liz reads both good

Sarah

come to the godforsaken state of Missouri please kansas city isn't that awful

Caz VanDevere

Hey we love it when Brace reads the dates. Brace please keep reading the dates!

Caz VanDevere

I grew up in Alaska eating scrapple. My grandparents were from PA and took the tradition across the country with them. I love the stuff. I haven’t eaten it since I was a kid.

Sean Carton

One does NOT spread scrapple on toast. I don't know who told you that but they're obviously insane or, perhaps co-opted by Dr. Oz (you were in Pennsylvania, after all). Scrapple is supposed to be sliced from the loaf, dusted with flour, and pan-fried until crispy on the outside. Once crispy, scrapple should then be served with syrup (the more high-fructose corn-syrup-y, the better) and served alongside french toast. Some degenerates put ketchup on it, but they probably learned that in a wilderness re-education camp during their youth and should be forgiven. And since you were in Philadelphia you probably had Kuntzler "scrapple." This is unfortunate. Those of us in the know about scrapple know that Rappa® scrapple is far superior, something y'all might actually know about if you had deigned to have a tour stop in Baltimore rather than those fancy-pants'ed other cities. Oh, and one last thing: if you ever decide to stop anywhere between the Jersey Shore and Baltimore, instead of scrapple you might want to try porkroll, also known as Taylor ham by East Coast gourmands and those of us who know that whether its scrapple or porkroll, you ain't gettin' no pork breakfast products in San Francisco that could come close to being as good. And not even in the greater bay area, a hilarious moniker considering that your bay is just a little puddle of dog piss compared to the Chesapeake Bay we enjoy here on the east coast where we're humble enough to not refer to as "the bay area" even though our bay is far superior to yours.

~28:00 - in romance of american communism, a communist named Eric Lanzetti talks about how he was recruited in the OSS because their training as rank & file union organizers made them really good spies

Evan Scott

I refuse to believe that Vegas is a city of almost a million people now. It will always be a weird tiny city with some casinos to me. It's in the middle of the fucking desert. An affront to god

kelly dougherty

With all the Mormon stuff and funny ways you talk about Norwood, how could you not have lots of fans across Colorado and of course Denver!

ggmacd

If canada wasnt a country vancouver would probably have its own dedicated Trueanon series. Land of extremely fucked vibes.

ggmacd

Trueanon, Vancouver needs you

Jesse Goertel

Denver listener here - very grateful for the tour date!

Yup

am or pm

Louie Van Patten

Of course Brace be crouchin and bringing up metal gear. I will be coming alone to your portland show, I hope you still have boils to lance.

BJM

Hell yeah see you in Denver

Ben Ullrich

There are dozens of us in Denver

EaZy E

You should come to Pittsburgh. Is it great here? Meh. Is it bad here? No, actually. A lot of different neighborhoods linked together, most are nice. But the downtown area is good, and there’s some good food around. If you came here on like a sunny, June day, you’d be like…oh yeah, this is nice. If you came in January though, you’d wonder why people ever settled on living here, with all the hills and wind and snow. Anyways, that’s my lukewarm positive review of my city. It’ll be fun. There’s some cool older venues around the city too that people have kept up.

TrueAnonPod

It would be cool to play at Mr. Smalls… they named the venue after Brace!!

Aa

Fun Pittsburgh history , check out The Apollo Affair. Also, Michael Judge's opium series talks a lot about the opium dynasties that also helped build this city alongside steel barons and the CIA. Harangue me by my tranches, the 412 is more than ketchup stillers and dudes who rip the back pockets off of your jeans

Micheline

It’s true Pittsburgh is a boy city

Renee Leath

Thanks for coming to Texas, y'all.

Nate

Denver checkkkkkk

Doug Cartel

This is why the Bourne trilogy is completely insane, because theres no way the Treadstone guys would have been fucked for what they did, especially during the GWOT.

Doug Cartel

Also, there 1000% has to be a link between FBI attempts to antagonize leftists into violence and CIA efforts to do the same overseas. "The problem isnt that allende is putting people in gulags, the problem is that he isnt putting people in gulags."

n0uh whyrick

Stop talking so much at the fucking beginning

BZ

Philadelphia just literally means Phila (love of) Delphos (brotherly)

EaZy E

Got his ass. Lol. Mr Smalls is good. SF/Mr Smalls connection, this band I found on accident back in college working at a music store, Giant Squid. I think they’re from SF. Anyways, I loved eating mushrooms and listening to their entire album a few times a month back in 2008/2009. Somehow they ended up coming to Mr Smalls, and I fucking missed it. Found out about a week after the show. I would not let that happen with true anon. Anyways, being 35 with 3 kids and a wife, I don’t think traveling to another city is really in the cards. Lol.

EaZy E

I love that. I’m writing that down to check out. I noticed a while back my awareness of those types of issues on a National basis, but that I’ve never looked into the local tea. Also, I wouldn’t assume the happenings around Pittsburgh necessarily come onto the radar of some of the podcasts I listen to. So, I may actually have to read. Shit.

Gulb

The city of sisterly love is Olympia Washington

Junior Carmichael

With so much STL/Ferguson talk I hope you're able to do a show in this cursed city someday.

leiper

Hmmm. Check who was first

Kate Baldwin

He had me till that last comment. Go Astros.

original gay pussy eatah

I believe a toady COINTELPRO-type pro asset nicknamed “Medusa” attempted to get me arrested in St. Louis summer of 2020. I knew her real name because she was a nurse but she insisted we use codenames because, uh. Yeah. And she was a “street medic” but carried a gun the whole time. Was very curious if I had one. Only after she found out I didn’t have a license did she like really need me in particular to help move her car away from the cops. It was fairly obvious. Still spooky.

Ubbe Nazar

Is it just me or is something wrong with the audio quality???

Madison Perry

This guest is great and an incredible interviewee. I would love to hear him talk again or read some of his stuff, especially if he’s based here in Philly

LL

Liz making a RHONY reference 💯💯💯💯

carl

scrapple is what's left on the killing floor, essentially. one of our grosser comestibles

Will Yandell

At 38:37, Brace can be heard quietly saying “sorry.” My question is what the fuck did he do and should he continue to be on the show?

CC

I’m at the bar, probably drinking a lil too much, but from my the new ESPN :30 it looks like they were up to bullshit. Pl

punkademic

I now feel way less bad about all the American Legion Halls that punks smashed up over the years at shows

Char Kelly

^This is what I’m talking about

Professor Jokes

Listening to a show about how rightwingers are paid to monitor left movements... On a pudcast that is basically a survey of the American left.

Mike Malloy

Not sure why anyone would voluntarily spend two days in Boston…perhaps if their CIA handler ordered them to go there to generate a roster of leftists to monitor from the ticket sales to a live podcast show…hmmm…

Jackson Lahey

Not y’all asses adding dates in Canada and still none in the south 🤪

Bre Wolff

Come to pittsburgh you crazy fucks!! Turn the fuck up in the burgh !!!!!

SillyMoose

I was waiting for the CISPES mention and y’all came through!

SillyMoose

More details from the CISPES website for anyone interested in learning more: “Less than three months after CISPES was founded, Reagan ordered a secret FBI investigation of the organization, first for being a foreign agent, then for being a suspected terrorist organization. The FBI, the CIA and other police agencies investigated more than 100,000 people in more than 59 cities, in the largest counter-intelligence operation since COINTELPRO. One of the most heinous aspects of the FBI investigation is that the US government gave the Salvadoran National Guard the names of refugees who were being deported back to El Salvador, some of whom were found tortured and buried in ravines and unmarked graves in the Salvadoran countryside.” cispes.org/section/history-cispes

Luma

Excited to be observed by MPD’s quadcopters & militarized golf carts with y’all at the mpls show🫡! It might be at least interesting to look into our beloved Operation Safety Net & it’s data collection during the Chauvin trial and beyond. I don’t consider it on par with what DHS had/has going in PDX, but what little has come out seems noteworthy. The manpower that came with it was certainly useful during the smaller Daunte Wright protests (which occured less than a block from our FBI field office, lol). Know plenty of people who were ‘catalogued’ without charge.

Christopher Price

Re: minute 57--the police chief of Philly in 2020 was Danielle Outlaw, the former police chief of Portland, Oregon.

Katy Gruenbaum

I’m a listener from Denver colorado and I keep trying to message you!!
