27:35 Justin Peterson? What twisted wordplay is this?

Chomagerider

The French have their bread MY ASS. THE GERMANS have their bread. No better bread in the world. In fact, the only dough product worthy of the term BREAD!!!!!!!! ok, with that, go catch Bread Weinstein.... oof... been a long day, excuse the very shitty humor.

Kyle Wilson

Chris acknowledging his “out of fashion, 1990’s dodgy investor style beard” had me rolling.

Roland Weber

Thanks for this... shall we call it a quickie, with just over an hour? 😄

Allan Malcolm McPherson

Nobody sticking up for karaage...this is pure US triumphalism in the fried chicken culture war!

Coffeezilla made channel 2 (voidzilla) which ended up getting a lot of views despite significantly lower effort so sadly confirming that there is a path of least resistance to getting views if the topic is about influencers, drama, etc. To his credit he didn’t chase revenue by posting as frequently as the audience would bear, which tends to incentivize tenuous bullshit

I'm curious, what do Americans think of Matt's description of you? Anyone feel like chiming in?

Jackie Isaksen

Hello from Springfield, OR (hometown of the simpsons!)

Chomagerider

Didn't you listen to the JRE episode with Shanna Swan from a few years back? BPA shrinks our TAINTS!!!! I actually always wondered how legit that Dr Swan was but never enough to actually ever check 😅 c'mon Chris, please do my work for me.

Robert O

Who was translating Trudeau? That was the most agonizing thing I’ve listened to in ages, maybe ever?

Beebop-Skedadle

Id be curious to see a deep dive re: microplastics being bad for you. That's one of those things I've heard there's actually mounting evidence for, although huberman talking about it is concerning 😅

Judson

Justin Trudeau said all that under oath. So of he was lying he could go to jail. JBP would not need to sue him.

Dries T.

Less than two minutes in: "No I did my best. I did my best. Which was nothing." A minute later: "And it turns out that Bret Weinstein was in our hearts all along." How does he do it?!

Saksaas

I’ve been working in stores for over 20 years handling receipts. I should be dead by now 😑

Kyle Wilson

Please give us more Andrew Gold content. He is my new fascination, almost on the level of Bret Weinstein. He’s describing audience capture with excruciating, textbook detail while totally failing to recognize why this may be problematic. This is a mind that needs to be probed further.

Karl Franz

Onwards and upwards gentlemen!

Brendan H.

Matt! Don't eat the dongle! That they put warnings on electronics about potential consequences if you try to smoke or eat it does say something about American cuisine.

Monica B.

This was a great one! And oh Bernie : / Politicians gonna politician. I never would have listened to that on my own, so I appreciated the clips and your take. Lex has the kind of cis-dude persona my friends and I used to call SNAGs back in the 90s—sensitive new age guys. They were always libertarians (US meaning of the term, so conservative individualist right wing) when you scratched their pseudo-counterculture surface!

SHOUNAK SARKAR

Far out, that was embarrassing by Bernie. Good decoding guys; I have really grown an aversion to mindless populism, no matter which side of the political aisle it comes from. Freaking millionaires and rich alternative media morons talking about the journalists at legacy media outlets making 70K a year as if they’re the “real elites” is god damn infuriating! Very disingenuous and it was pathetic by Bernie not to call Musk out more forcefully; he was acting like a typical politician there & serving as an useful idiot for the hard-right.

Carolina Sunshine

I really enjoyed your San Francisco commentary. But I don’t think we have the reverse uncanny feeling, There are a lot of different people here and that’s part of what’s great about it.
