Alex is back on with us today to catch up on MMA libertarians, bad DJs, and a rudely interrupted Billy Joel. We then discuss Iran’s weekend missile attack on Israel, and get Donald Trump’s somber and thoughtful remarks on the hallowed battle ground of Gettysburg. All this and some Valerie Bertinelli news on today’s show.

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

Oh how nice first

Ya boo bay ya boo bay

I go to Gettysburg and I look and I watch, wow, so beautiful. And the hill, folks! They had a hill and our great beautiful Robert E Lee said ‘don’t go near that hill!’ but they went up the hill. So tremendously beautiful

J P 3

"Robert E. Lee, who’s no longer in favor — did you ever notice it? He’s no longer in favor. “Never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill.” They were fighting uphill. He said, “Wow, that was a big mistake.” He lost his big general. “Never fight uphill, me boys,” but it was too late." "Never fight uphill, me boys" is one of those phrases that would work equally well in a high school year book, or an epitaph. Trump at his most free-wheeling, completely ahistorical best.

Elliot Matheny

Felix clearly isn’t that familiar with Moicano’s skills, he’s actually a very solid fighter. Easily a top 10 lightweight talent and action fighter.

Zach Pierce

You get a socialist gift card!

Garrat M

I thought Coachella was a music festival where you did a bunch of drugs and get a new type of clamydia no doctor has ever seen before. Why the hell would they want to harsh that vibe with 35 year old virgins who smell like soup and unironically Naruto run?

Cole

All this talk about Coachella and not a single mention of how stunning my darling wife, Lana Del Rey, looked that night 🙄

Cole

Wow!

KIDBOOYA420

Felix is like I know gorillas are cartoons I’m not a fucking idiot

Ben C

why would anyone listen to vocaloid bach when the swingle singers exist and have been doing that schtick for like 70 years

Andrew Cross

Conor didn’t ’beat up’ that old man, the old guy barely flinched, Conor became part-owner of that bar and banned the old guy for life

simplebrute

Fetterman's influence in Braddock was Harvard graduate moves to working class black suburb of Pittsburgh and introduces gentrification by way of converting a shuttered public school into an art gallery and building a park no one asked for

Michael S. Judge

Hell, Dutch, I dunno about this plan, and I'll be damned if I can see why we're building fuckin' railroads to Poland

ohnoitsthefuzz

You know, Mr. Moicano, America doesn't come to your country and smack Bolsonaro's dick out of your mouth...

Tom Aitken

I always love Alex Nichols, keep having him on frequently. Joke about Sting and Seinfeld was good

D.O.D

Yep, he sucker punched the aul lad but didn't even knock him off his stool. Inner-city Dublin pintmen cannot be deterred from their mission

Michael NWI

Trump owned a boat in Gary IN once. A gambling boat, flew in flew out. Big news of the day around here. Hell, he had William Shatner host the Miss USA pagent at the Genesis Center in Gary IN. Think old Detroit with a smell of molten iron wafting through the air.

BigBoto

Audio quality good this week? Safe to look at comments, or we raging?

Ben_Grimm_13

I had also memory-holed Hoarse Whisperer. Memory holes are underrated

Blue Myself

Felix: “So, do they get dipped in the toon stuff?” Not beating the allegations.

Sean McL

Alex is so good

Nathan Explosion

conor mcgregor is the most awkward screen presence i’ve ever seen and i hated it.

bruce

Alex avoiding correcting them about Miku and thus not revealing how much he knows about fucking vocaloids was just tremendous

William

Love Chris coming in like a reporter on the scene at Coachella

Zach H.

McGregor needs to be a Fast & Furious villain

Ian

How did Will forget the horse whisperer lmao

Doug Cartel

every day america and israel are getting better at keeping information from getting out, I guess every now and then russia drops a cruise missile on a building in Kiev and then 3 days later some newspaper in Poland or Germany is like "we sadly announce the passing of General So and So from completely normal causes"

Blank

Ode to joy is not Bach. Also solid ep :)

KP

What does this mean?

William

I think the rule is: Felix will give up trying to pronounce a name after the second syllable

P Money

outro song?

T

RIP General So. Loved his chicken.

T

Movie Mindset is forgetting about some twitter guy so you can remember Robert Redford.

Aidan

I see we’re getting away from the 20 second interludes, salute

James Carney

can someone do an edit to remove Alex Nichols, hands down the worst guest they get on this show

Robert Sayre

the Gorillaz' biggest song is a preset, and there's a Tik Tok that shows how Grimes screwed up

James Carney

he is the slowest & most labored riffer in podcasting and just not that smart, just brutal to listen to

PetRockSematary

Chris dropped the ball by not catching that insane Justice set at Coachella

Kevin Boyle

Jacques is the worst chapo guest; he is so funny and good he takes over the show and demonstrates that he is far and above the level of vibration that Felix and Will operate at; if Jacques comes back on Chapo will lose 100% of their patreon money; it would all go to Jacques.

Kevin Boyle

Can we get a Road House Creative Universe; a RHCU? McGregor can get a run of 3 movies just beating up tables and smiling at the camera

Jonathan G

Thanks for the episode guys

Pancy Nelosi

Alex Nichols stole this fool’s girlfriend.

Chris Wade

oh I caught that. it rocked, I like their new Generator song as well. if you ever see me irl ask me about one time I actually saw Justice and witnessed some of the most French behavior I've ever seen on stage. other highlights: - No Doubt delivered - Mandy, Indiana - Mancunian/French noise rock band with a beat, first I'd heard of them - BOY HARSHER - Paris Hilton playing cornhole on stage with Vampire Weekend for some reason

Jordan

Watched Tom hanks movie where he goes to Saudi Arabia that HAS to be a Chapo movie episode (prayers sent)

Kvvvy

Thrilled to learn that Will and Katherine are Billy Joel heads

Michael

“4 hour interviews with people Rogan didn’t want to book.” Perfect description of the Lex Friedman podcast.

NoPrefect

Real talk McGregor's whiskey sucks as bad as he does

Dick Waglin

The Roadhouse remake could have been ok. McGregor was fucking abysmal. I kinda liked Gyllenhaal as Dalton.

Adub

The developmental hell of southern lake MI should be a jailable offence.

Michael NWI

I say the same thing about anyone living south of US 30. If we can keep the yuppies and beautiful boat owners out of NWI this place might have a chance. Not much of a chance for they are advancing daily.

Jaime Christley

America's chest-beating militaristic jingoism is based on - moreso than WW2 (when we arrived late and claimed all the spoils) - the annihilation of 90-100 million Native Americans. We don't have that juice anymore. Sure, we can make millions upon millions of innocent people dead or, if alive, envy the dead, but the whole thing about knocking a country over and .... doing what exactly? If Trump or Biden send troops into Iran (or fucking *Mexico*), that would be this country's last greatest mistake. More merciful to put our troops in giant shipping containers and seal off the vents.

jfk truther

“I care about private property” get fucked asshole you can’t own land it’s not a fucking ps4

Richard

Stupid opinion. He has comic timing most podcasts would kill for.

Coyotes

Charlie Wilson's War is mentioned frequently in the back catalogue, the movies they review need to be uniquely insane.

Evan Pitkin

Alex is hilarious. Why do you even listen to this show?

Elder millennial

I lived in portland so long, one time I landed at ohare and saw a Hasidic Jew and my first gut reaction was to roll my eyes and mutter fucking hipster before I realized i was surrounded by actual diversity lol.

Jake

Yesss more Alex

Elai Kehler

10/10 on that cut to panama

Gordon Schmidt

The rotating third mic format is working rather well tbh. Still miss Matt though, hope he's recovering!

Agent Grange

The final defeat for the Socialist Bloc and the legacy of Eugene Debs will be when Trump runs his Presidential campaign from prison but actually wins. That's an L we'll never fully recover from.

Will

Roadhouse remake was good except for Conor McGregor. Didn’t even attempt to act. Mostly just smiled without blinking.

Adam Gorvin

Alex with the Nichols on here

Wesley Campbell Caretto

Foaming at the mouth as Will incorrectly says the new installment in the BAD BOYS franchise is BAD BOYS FOR LIFE, which actually came out 4 years ago, instead of BAD BOYS: RIDE OR DIE. And Chris didn't even check him!

Matthew

Alex is too funny lmao, S-tier guest

Jackson Ranger

Can confirm, I was at the boy scouts boat speech

Ksizzle

God i fucking love every alex episode

Roland Thompson

Assad’s emails got leaked years ago as well and it really gives context to his playlist. Assad is a huge I-love-my-wife guy. Like half the emails were just that.

Logan

Didn't Trump meet Jeffrey Epstein on Khashoggi's yacht?

Matt Murray

When are you guys coming to Denver?

Major Powers

Alex needs to immediately rethink his position on computer cars. The reason the car with four different doors and crank windows is still running is that it’s not filled with shorting out computers and faulty firmware updates and shit. A 10 year old car is far less reliable than a 20+ year old car!

m d

very cute that chris said "hatsune miko" to imply he doesn't know who miku is. you are just not that subtle honey

Rich G

Missed having Matt on for the gettysburg segment.

Julian Drummond

Johann Sebastian Bach MENTIONED 🗿🎶🗿Wtf Is marrying someone other than your cousin🗿🎶🗿

Neil Y

The boys missing the obvious fact implied by Trump's Gettysburg speech: that Trump is a reenactment guy. They dress up in fun costumes, shoot fake guns, and are by law required to be either as fat as him or more. He goes to Gettysburg to watch the dads play war.

Sheep

Now listen to Miku singing bizarre love triangle

Robert Ritchie

Unable to commit regular suicide, Fetterman coommts political suicide instead.

William

I think everyone should love bomb fatterman with questions about considering suicide again

RG13

A Brazilian athlete telling America to read a dead Austrian economist is just normal.

glaourgbn

what's that sick outro music

MKatieUltra

I saw Blur (who I ❤️) at Coachella in 2013 and even then they were joking about being irrelevant to that crowd, crazy that they still get booked at it. I think Coachella used to be geared towards a slightly older demographic, there would always be an older broken up band that would get back together just to play it.

No Relation to Henry

I think it’s what Alex mentioned, a Japanese vocaloid singing Bach

RG13

Calm downe, Shelby Foote.

Jorge Enesto

This guest is the reason I won’t let my daughter date nerds. Gonna go have some coffee and tv

the Minneapolis Kid

You know he always shows up in a stovepipe hat and beard and demands to be Lincoln, even when its a battle Lincoln wasn't within 500 miles of.

RG13

Billy Joel writes songs for stupid Americans who enjoy the nostalgia of their belief in a middle class life. Broadway musical tropes and age-bound cliches. Tony Soprano for lead singers.

RG13

I thought Connor McGregor had raised his actor game for the new Road Hose.

RG13

Playing Ewan playing Connor.

RG13

Miss USA should be a blind girl in a wheelchair.

RG13

Keep your tires and engine in shape, and the Japanese make the best cars for your travelling needs. If you think a computer should run your car, you are deserving of a Motown style crash.

Logan

Sounds like something an ugly daughter daddy would say.

Logan

Asma is a queen

RG13

Road House featuring George Floyd.

Logan

Jacques is a good 3rd mic, James Cameron slander notwithstanding, but really shines when others are doing all the steering so that Jaque can rest between chaotic outbursts. But yes we all love Alex. And Amber. I kind of just think they have good people on honestly.

Logan

His Seinfeld joke was maybe the best joke I will hear this week.

Logan

It means US allies are getting cooked but US media won't acknowledge it

christoph.s

As an Austrian I would like to think that we drove the Austrian school of economics out of the country bc of their shitty ideas.

🐷

AKorgar

We gotta find where they're keeping his original head and rescue it

Christopher Ladd

Well at least they interrupted Piano Man, the worst karaoke song of all time.

Smalls

Maybe they should stone you then

AKorgar

I remember that leak. Ton of guys forwarding banal office jokes to each other, like "Doctor it hurts when I go like this" "Simple fix, don't go like that!" etc

The Other Lauren

spend a little less time worrying about getting stoned to death and spend a little more time getting stoned if you know what i mean 🔥🥦💨 and maybe you wont be like this. nearly 4/20 bro peace

GoblinHitPoints

Loving Alex’s eps, dude makes me laugh. Guests in general have been great. Also I instantly thought about Liz Hurley as well, good job Felix

christoph.s

Congrats on being gay and or a slut.

ResilientBastard

That’s a reassuring perspective I’m sure. I think you guys drove a lot of people out of your country, and most of them weren’t economists.

christoph.s

But we support Israel now, so all is well.

Jamin Kreighbaum

I like your call-out of annoying terminally online people followed by the dumbest terminally online retard talking points going around. Nobody will throw you off a building if you never go outside, you're fine.

Jorge Enesto

Damn they were right about blur and the zoomers

drewb

Only one of those groups of regressive religious rubes has had the total diplomatic, economic and military support of a superpower for the best part of the last 50 years

Mike Loudin

Holy fuck this is a terrible take

thicchatlogan

yeah man I'm sure the tens of thousands of children currently being starved to death by the client state of a global superpower are engineering the repression of LGBT people worldwide right now, it's definitely everyone else's sense of morality that's been rendered terminally incoherent from looking at the computer, not yours

Kvvvy

More of an Elton John guy, huh?

At Your Disservice

Roy Cohen?! Is that you? When the hell did you get reincarnated?!

Cumshitter

I thought the hoarse whisperer dork had money and just delighted in getting what amounted to pocket change for them donated from suckers?

Scot Forsythe

Well jeez, the Austrian school only works under nazi like conditions (ahem strong bond prices supported by military might) so considering Argentina and Brazil are both competing to be the Israel of Latin America then, yeah this sounds about right…

Taylor Fredrickson

Why so much hate for Lex Fridman? There's so many worse podcasts. Lex seems like a pretty genuine guy to me and seems strange to hate on him so much.

Axel H.

Vaush and Destiny fan alert.

Podcast subscriber 78

Yeah he’s not the worst. I mean eg he’s had Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein on and generally lets people talk and say their piece. However, he’s still part of the Joe Brogan universe, which I think Felix finds particularly annoying for with for their faux intelligentsia attitude. Not as bad as Patrick Bet David if that’s his name. “What if. You wanted real estate. Wouldn’t that. Be some. Thing.”

Vivian Irby

Hey, Hatsune Miku is not algorothmically generated in any way. You have to manually put in what syllables she's signing and what notes she's hitting.

Reece Coren

give alex a permanent mic NOWWWW every time he’s on he somehow makes me laugh even harder

Broadway Joe

TJ Stiles—the historian who responded to Trump’s Gettysburg speech—blocked me on twitter because I disagreed with his comment that Nicolas Maduro was the worst dictator in the Western Hemisphere.

Jake V

Love Alex, he’s consistently a funny and entertaining guest.

Sheila Mydick

Alex rocks. All the best to Matt, hope to hear him when he is up to it/back from paternal leave.

paperedcuts

I saw Grimes DJ set at Primavera in 2022. It was the best/worst thing I’ve ever seen. Same deal, it was so quiet and I don’t think she knew what was playing.

William

He’s dumb as shit and insufferably pretends otherwise. He could credibly be replaced with a scarecrow and it wouldn’t change the podcast quality

William

lol you think the Austrian school works under any conditions

QW

Give Alex the third mic!

Taylor Fredrickson

He's also had on Richard Wolff and had Basem Youssef. He's by far more charitable to leftists than any other mainstream podcast.

Alex Berkowitz

A lot of people on the left, people I value and listen to and trust, get kind of overzealous with condemning people over “platforming” the bad people. Joe Rohan gets treated like a Nazi over it too. It’s a universal flaw from the heart of centrist fake left corporate democrats to wild eyed five hair dye having college leftists to even reasonable “dirtbag left” types. No one or thing is perfect man. Not even chapo

Alex Berkowitz

When you point it out in public you usually get the good old millennial self defensive smugness, which I can feel coming now. No one, nothing, is flawless. When the boomers die and millennials are in charge we’ll fuck (definitely less) things up too.

Sam

Hope you die soon.

Elliot Matheny

They weren’t hating, just roasting the guy for being pretty boring and overhyped

Vinnie

Nobody funnier than Alex! Please keep having him on.

thicchatlogan

christ I hate that I get what this is about

Ty Drown

I think Trump gets seasick IIRC. In the 80s he bought Adnan Khashoggi’s yacht and built a marina in Atlantic City and tried to get the America’s Cup hosted there. He sold the yacht and the Plaza Hotel to Al Waleed bin Talal, the Saudi price who runs the Kingdom Fund whose father was a Naserite so-called “Red Prince”.

Isaac

Iran is about to find out…that Biden asked them nicely to please let Israel get in a symbolic strike to save face. Shiver me Timbers

Tyler Sutherland

I saw Gorillaz live in NYC a few years ago and it was AMAZING!

Scot Forsythe

😂 oh my gosh point taken, I should’ve said Chicago school tbf, Austrian school sounds kind of sus…

chronye

🎯optical waiting room playlist

burgerpocalypse

no, mr lawyer, i do NOT listen to any podcasts

Natalie

after looking at jeevacation i cannot believe it is Mr epstein himself unless someone hacked it postmortem

Donald

Will immediately taking an L on RDR2. Shake my smh.
