Our old friend Jacob Bacharach steps in on the pod today. First, we check in on the election, looking at the continued actual and electoral disaster of the Republicans’ abortion policies, as well as Donald Trump’s non-existent campaign. We finish with a reading series from Jonathan Chait, who’s still banging on about “the authoritarian left” impinging on peoples’ rights to hear Jamie Raskin speak. And in the middle, we check in on the ever-expanding universe of Taylor Sheridan shows, this time with Lawman: Bass Reeves.

NYC, MAY 4th: Join Will & Hesse for a Movie Mindset Season 2 kickoff screening & talkback of DEATH WISH 3 at Littlefield, tickets now available:

Last Years Man

Obligatory comment about how the show sucks and everything you're doing is wrong.

Poppy Chulo

Buffy I found a passage on this demon Arches, it says that the only way to defeat him is for the watcher to sniff the slayers undergarments... and also I'll need a glass of cordelias piss. And on you way out please tell Willow I need her to fart in the library immeeeejiately.

Poppy Chulo

Giles is out here rizzin the hoes. The only thing slayed... pussy.

Last Years Man

Honest to god did watch the OJ verdict come in at the school library, surrounded by teachers. And yes, there was some cheering.

Poppy Chulo

Brads and over here riding chapo dick hard.

Juan Gonzalez

The white bronco has been recalled

Alex C

Nice

Jaime Christley

Committing ritual seppuku to honor the Friday episode drop

Shiv

honestly wouldn’t mind some extremely LATE 20th century women’s health care

j

So… did it fit?

etienne

join the Zero Turnout Election movement by simply Not Voting

NYCM&AHole

The audio quality is shit. People who don’t use headphones in calls to avoid speakerphone syndrome should be summarily executed.

Andrew Cross

Jacob do you need money for a mic or something?

Alex Herter

guest audio quality not good :/

Jeffrey Miller

Audio quality is really fucking distracting

NYCM&AHole

You mean totally shit?

NYCM&AHole

Guess they were speakerphoning it in

Watermane

I looked at the comments, and what comments they were. Real nasty comments. Not good, folks. People are telling me to sit this one out, many people in fact.

Brian

Half listened. Oh well :-/

Dylan

I’m doing my part!

Ardy Rezv

Remember everyone. I know Joe Biden is committing a genocide, but he have to vote blue in November. Trump is just so evil!!!!

dog stone

audio nerds begone

Matthew

The old-timey quality of Jacob's mic is just delightful, great episode

rainbow.harvest

God everyone is such a nerd I could hear the guest audio over the sound of my kitchen sink running can people just be normal

Chris T

You’re trying to hard here

William

Is speakerphone syndrome like Havana Syndrome for people who pay too much for audio equipment

William

I mean, if you’re a weak bitch, yeah, it’s a problem I guess

rainbow.harvest

If you think I’m proud imagine how pompous people whining about audio quality must feel

CE

I’m an important consumer, I demand to talk to your manager!

Drew McGill

You have to watch the show “Manhunt” on Apple TV+ because it’s the same exact description that Will have with his elevator pitch that the show was written as if Biden was at 90% approval ratings or whatever lmao. The language in the show is absolutely beyond ridiculous. To the point a confederate says a Trump quote. I’m not shitting you.

Doug Cartel

Actually, the real OJ has been dead ever since that steamroller got him in Naked Gun, but in any case the last time I ever heard his voice was that tiktok he did making fun of jeffy toobey or whatever for jacking off on a video conference

Tim Mullen

Haven’t listened yet but the new Bronco models Ford started releasing a couple years ago exist purely to cash in on the OJ/90s nostalgia and they’re shit cars and hurt my eyes to look at them so fuck you OJ

g$

oj’s work in roots will live forever 😪😪🤘🤘

Dyyyyylan

The recent Harriet Tubman movie also had some nonsensical, anachronistic gunplay. Perfect film, otherwise.

Pags

They did bring us in to watch the OJ verdict. I remember thinking, They have cable in school?

Mark Schneider

I was a substitute teacher at the time. What I remember most is having lunch with the other teachers & one guy said, "Well this just proves that in America you can be black & murder someone & get off just like rich whites can."

NYCM&AHole

No, I’m not saying people need a Neumann U47 microphone.

Mark Schneider

Manhunt must've been written by the staff at "Wonkette", I think you're saying?

Mark Schneider

My younger brother who is a Wake n' Bake guy with "mental health issues" (to put it kindly) is a big Jamie Raskin-Stan, so glad to hear that anyone (left like me, or right) is shouting Jamie down. Max Blumenthal has shared that Raskin's dad was a legit peace activist during the Cold War, his son just had to shit all over dad's legacy by being a homicidal & genocidal NatSec ghoul. Jamie says "Slava Ukraina forever!!"

ploob

Never forget that time OJ tried to demonstrate in a court of law how to slit two throats at the same time, goated.

Chris T

Like Charlie Brown’s teacher

D. Elwood

been rewatching Banshee and I really need Jonathan Trooper to have a Sheridan-style come-up; give that dude like 10 slightly different shows

William

Johnabam chape dreaming of a past liberalism that never existed. The fascist comparisons continue to draw themselves

owen

Would actually watch if connor o malley were cast

William

At the very least I would like to make almost every member of congress into an abu ghraib reenactor

MEAT CLOWN

This is a good episode and I appreciate that Jacob had the grit and determination to somehow call into the show on a typewriter

MEAT CLOWN

I can hear him just fine, but I can only understand like every other word he says

T

Jamie Raskin got cancer on purpose so he'd be allowed to hide his disgusting hair.

Steel Rabbit

Being an audio nerd is one thing (Amber’s mic never sounds great, for instance, but it doesn’t bother me), but this is bad. It’s only every eighth syllable that’s audible. Which is a shame ‘cause this guest is awesome!

Demented Avenger

I want to see Steven Seagal to play Bass Reeves. Yes, in blackface.

etienne

chris is losing 3hp for every comment about the guest audio

andrew rogers

Gilla Band rules, Listen to Lawman and their cover of Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage?

etienne

it's literally not that bad on earbuds, whatever

T

audiophiles are a close second for worst -philes

Jordan

Here to complain about the guests audio. I don’t mind how garbled it is, but the sniffs are killing me.

Jordan

Bailing at 35min

Matthew Krueger

See what you did there and I appreciate it.

Dan Baggar

great outro song pull there Chris

Jacob Nielsen

Also see them live if you get a chance (or listen to their Live at Vicar Street album). One of the most high-octane concerts I’ve ever been to.

Tim O'

I like Jacob but I'm distressed to hear that he is a dying robot 😞

brent pierce

@chris_wade I think the episode should be #823

drizzly_november

Can't understand people whining about audio quality on a podcast. Matt used to record via a tin can on a string from the bottom of a well, and it was fucking great.

Jaime Christley

Not the first time I’ve said that S. Craig Zahler should have been given all the breaks that Taylor Sheridan got

MEAT CLOWN

This was actually a really entertaining episode I wasn't being sarcastic btw

NYCM&AHole

At least you could hear all of Matt’s words

E

You all laugh, but my child's sleep regression is denying me my basic human rights via sleep denial. He's basically a terrorist. .

Pepipopa

Great audio Jacob it's 2024 figure out how not to sound like you're from a 2008 ventrillo server in Albania

Jaime Christley

Francophiles # 1? 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 📠 📠 📠

Christopher Small

That’s just disappointing regarding Bass Reeves. I mean, I saw the ads and just assumed someone made Django Unchained into a TV show, but with more cowboys. That sounded fun, but I guess they dropped the ball. It’s a real “how do you fuck this up” moment

Matthew

The rumbling of Matt Christman's deadlights about to bust through his skull staples and lay waste to the unbelievers

wolfgang

lemme just play mad libs for an hour on wtf this guy is saying. matt’s audio was trash but not del every third word.

Joe Quigley

Grew up in an Irish neighborhood (ie racist neighborhood) in Philly. When OJ got off, I cheered just bc it was nice to see Nordberg get a W. My family still doesn't talk to me.

wolfgang

you pay for this piss poor product but also defend it hahah 😂 why even comment. Half the chat is complaining because jacob’s audio is objectively trash, also this is an audio medium. But please put us in our place.

m@tt

Using the laptop built-in microphone in 2024

Natalie

I listened with headphones, but the audio was really not that bothersome

Poppy Chulo

William is our resident sycophant boob.

Willie

The way Will pronounces kuffiyeh “keyefa” is insane

Antipaganda

It's pretty bad. I have good headphones. Still listening though.

Matthew Trimble

Y’all really losing steam without Matt on the show. Here’s hoping he’s back soon.

Son of El Topo

a confederate soldier hearing the RBG is dead for the first time

Nathan Explosion

CHRIS HOW YOU GONNA LET A GUEST MIC LIKE THAT

Paul F. Holzfäller

Will and Felix are gonna have to run blood into him at the same time to keep him from flatlining.

J.P. McD.

Chortled out some protein shake when Felix said the worksheets fixed OJ

Axel H.

It’s wild. Sometimes you really just need to look at a word and see how it’s spelled. A lot of the time, that can get you most of the way there.

Paul F. Holzfäller

All I want to see is Trump be forced to move quickly from one place to another on his own power. He doesn’t have to be threatened or harassed or anything like that. Just forced to run/jog from A to B. Maybe a minimum of 25 yards. I don’t see how it wouldn’t be one of the funniest goddamn things I’ve ever witnessed.

J Fitz

As a longtime background actor, I was getting booked to play teenagers and high school students well into my thirties

Gabriel Mathews

God bless you, Cheis, for the Gilla Band drop

Nolan

Will continues to insist he knows shit about sports

Louie Luke

The two things I’m most sick of hearing during election years are “if x wins it’ll be the end of democracy!” And “if x wins I’m moving out of the country!” Every fucking election it’s the same cliched shit.

John Cameron

Been thinking about the Police Squad credits car driving through the OJ crime scene and then chasing the white Bronco for the last 24 hours

Alexandr

So does Will in at least 90% of the episodes.

Alexandr

Your selective quotations around "mental health issues" made me remember that doofy gal talking about YA fiction. She is a BI-SEXUAL woman with MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES!

Last Years Man

then again, id be almost dishonest for him to correct course now

Word

I caught that Gilla Band track at the end u can’t fool me Chris

Poppy Chulo

The difference is I could decipher Matt's words easily. Half this guests audio is gibberish.

Poppy Chulo

You should be forced to look at the crime scene photos.

Andrew Cross

Chris is great! Just sometimes guests give him the lowest bitrate audio possible

creepytwig

Celestial Kingdom mentioned ☀️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Kinetics Video

Trump abortion coverage just sounds like the 4000 other news cycles I've heard about Trump went a little too far this time and our system which definitely punishes men like him doing that will swing into action. Maybe it will be true this time, but it's just a comeuppance that's failed to materialize so many times.

J P 3

I remember a Trump Chicago rally being cancelled in 2016 thanks to a very enthusiastic crowd of not his supporters. If the Clinton campaign and ground operation had demonstrated half the same level of tenacity and enthusiasm in any of the swing states, Trump would not have won election in 2016.

Davies B. Orck

Hey, thank you for recreating the sound experience (Jake talking) from a 1940 phone booth. Awesome work

Davies B. Orck

The sound was horrible, I couldn’t understand 50% of what he said. Such a shame

Creamy Goodness

Yeah how does someone in media not have a dialed in audio set up

Matelda

My kid will be born into a world where liberals have committed a genocide to prevent an "authoritarian" threat but the "authoritarianism" wasn't stormtroopers patrolling the exits, a nation of prison slaves, or girls forced to die of ectopics in hospital parking lots. All that will be, but my child was saved from being allowed to interrupt authorities while speaking.

Osborne MOCs

Love Jacob but I can't understand most of what he says, sorry have to skip this one.

beanbuddy

Yer thinkin too big there, pardner. I reckon that's a 5-gallon mayo-naise bucket over that fellas head with a $5 lapel mic taped in the top.

Occhio

was Bacharach calling from underwater? holy god. this feels hostile.

etienne

the perfect candidate for a Pro-Life campaign is obviously the ghost of an aborted baby

Dan

This would 100% have been green lit in 1990.

Dan

Having never been much of a gamer, I read that as horsepower.

Dan

Why didn’t SNL have the balls to do that?

Of course

did anyone else notice the guest's audio issues? at work, my coworkers are always like "its just you" when i say theres something wrong with the network, apps, etc

Tom

Yesss Girl Band on Chapo - what a world

etienne

its in your head

EnKaff

What's the song at the end?

Mark Schneider

Thanks-- I'm a retired high school librarian so maybe that's why I went with the quotes (My brother is loony toons, complex PTSD, but I still feel bad about it since he can't really help it. And I can't talk to him anymore coz last time I tried he started shrieking over me & I couldn't get a word in edgewise.)

Of course

thats what i thought, computers and me just dont get along it seems, that and the tinnitus

Jimmy McMillan

I got I banded from X for making a death threat to a Zionist. I told them to take a walk around Gaza while clearly marked as an aide worker

Michael

"The left wing authoritarians shutting down the Democratic Party." How much does Chait hate Barry Weiss for stealing his schtick. He was truly an OG.

John Swan

Literally nobody else here thought this was hard to hear. Don’t scroll down. Just let me have this.

John Swan

And pro choice, tbh

geoff renison

Hanurrhea is the weirdest israeli holiday. It can only be celebrated in south east asia, and only at aggressively discounted prices

Markus Kraköwski

"I would be shocked if there were a massive conventional response like today" 💀

Olivia Kali

I knew it would happen as soon as he said it lol

Tom

gilla band - lawman

EnKaff

Thank you!

Boaz Corey

In 2024 you have to try to have audio this bad. I'm blasting this and can't understand the guy haha

James Wallace

I don't think anyone's commented on the audio yet.

fivefootone

Taylor Sheridan’s last name is actually Gibbler and he does not like to be reminded of that (according to his old fraternity brothers at Texas State)

etienne

ay caramba si senor el pelicula es mucha benuo

Erik Weissengruber

How could they fumble a dramatization of one of the most interesting figures of the Wild West. His every day work was interesting enough, no need for the slow build up. Just have him regulating from episode one. Opening shot and he’s gotta get 4 handcuffed truculent outlaws 200 miles by horse, back to the start of his circuit.

Erik Weissengruber

The thing about Reeves was how few people he had to kill to get his 4,000 (?) arrests. And he accidentally killed a guy while cleaning his gun. So his body count is 12.

Gabipentin

Rhode Island mentioned 🫵🏻

Joe

Bro called in from 10,000 leagues under the sea

Christopher Price

I got flagged in 2020 for telling a Tory that if covid wasn't so bad, they should let Boris Johnson cough on them.

Christopher Price

it's charming when they let a guest use Matt's old mic.

MrMojoRisin

Yeah unfortunately I was only able to get like 70% of what Jacob said.

Jason

C’mon Chris. Do better with that audio. Tell Jacob to invest in a better mic before he comes in. Could hardly make out every other word Jacob was saying.

Jacob

Weak episode for so many reasons

Pete Ivanecky

great song choice for the ending 🙏

Brock Myres

Trying to figure out what song it is

Khemith

Jacob's audio is kinda bad.

Hardcore Virgin

Dwight Manfretti also does a mercy killing of a guy about to burn to death.
