Content

Next episode is recorded and in the editing bay. We decided to cover the episode of Triggernonetry linked above.

The reason for this was not a desire to spend more time listening to Konstantin or feeling that we needed to really get to grips with Francis’ philosophy, but because they very openly speak about the dynamics at play in the gurusphere.

You’ve got frank talk about attention being converted into money, how viral culture war content leads to opportunities and interest from bigger names, and how folks like Konstantin regard the importance of producing viral content.

If you want to play along in advance following the link above. Also covered in the episode:

- Good alternative media

- Russell Brand stuff

- Ibram X. Kendi stuff

We will release an advance version here likely before the weekend.

That’s all folks!

Dudes, love ya I got like 20 seconds in and it just seemed like you two in an alternate timeline

Daniel

Shameless, cringey, yet insightful

Austin Price

They are like Tim and Eric but serious.

Diane Morrison

I have started watched but don't know if I can take it all..... two quotes so far for your decoding : "I always knew I was meant to do something special" 'I used to think 'the sky's the limit' and now I think 'there is no limit' '- umm, the sky is the limit means there is no limit. This is fluff word salad

Diane Morrison

It's always Konstantin because Francis seems to be just a passenger and happy to be part of the gang

Christoph

I listen to this and I notice I'm happy for them having success and being able to pay people and meeting their idols etc. And then I remember that their "business" is based on latching on to and fueling the culture war and that meeting their idols means they'll be even more entrenched due to flattery and dinner parties. (Something something mirror world ;)

Martin Birch

“We’re like a band.” Like Wham. Who’s George Michael is pretty obvious. Poor Francis.

Exai

Konstantin's MLK meets Bob Dylan, a generation-defining truth & freedom guerilla. Francis plays the bass. Good lad.

I can't. No way. I can barely contain myself when I hear their voices broken up by Chris and Matt's interjections (which can't come fast enough, IMO. Don't leave me alone with their voices for too long, fellas. I may throw myself into traffic.). And that goes for nearly every subject of DTG, but Konstantin has always been second only to Russell Brand on my spectrum of smarminess.

Didn't realize Kisin looked so much like Smeagol! That explains a lot!

Hello— I’m new to DTG, just started listening from ep. 1 about 3 weeks ago. I guess I’m just looking for community and a place to vent, because I have some very heavy feelings after listening to the mini series on Joe Rogan from 2021-22. Quick backstory: my husband got me into JoeRo circa 2014 when we began dating. I liked a lot of the content and have ADD so I appreciated a source of constant talking in my headphones. Over time, I began disliking more & more content, and I found podcasts that were more my taste. However, my (now) husband’s love for the show never waivered. Enter: Malone & McCullough. After hearing their takes on vaccines, he argued incessantly with me about how dangerous they are and even said that we shouldn’t vaxx our daughter! I felt very strongly that these guys weren’t giving quality info. Ultimately, we did vaccinate ourselves and our child, and I thought I was over it but NOW I’m listening to all this wonderful criticism against those anti-vaxx arguments, and I’m growing resentful of and angry with my husband all over again 🙁 I know this is a long comment, but I really needed to get that off my chest, and hope some of you here can relate/support. I have considered sharing these podcast eps with him and asking him to listen, but I don’t want to fight. Not sure it’s worth it to return to the past in this instance. Happy to take thoughts/advice. Thanks!

I’ve heroically got to minute 37. The revolution will not be televised. It will be podcast.

Kat

I dunno. Maybe I didn't listen to enough, but this episode seems to be triggernometry interviewing triggernometry about triggernometry & how wonderful they are. I'm not sure I would ever want to listen to the whole thing.

Becky Rose

Not touching that with a barge pole, but looking forward to the episode!

Linda Sears

To be fair to them, at least they care about paying their employees. That the “rabbit” had to be a horrible speech at Oxford is the major downside. Konstantin’s “an initiation into a world I’ve always wanted to be a part of” says it all.

Linda Sears

Argh! Listening to more of this is becoming boring in an aggravating way. It makes all kinds of sense that they love American braggadocio. The stuff they are saying sounds like the endless student essays I’ve read about how you can do anything!!! And don’t let those negative people keep you down!! Self-indulgent boosterism gets so tiresome, especially since they haven’t even done anything of great importance to be boastful about. Had one of them actually experienced real challenges or done something that helps the world, I might be more persuaded. The other thing that riled me up was their talking about being authentic. Is a trans person not being authentic? Given the amount of prejudice they face, living as the gender that feels right is an incredibly brave thing to do. It just irks me that the same people who argue that you can do anything also complain about transgender people disrupting the natural order.

Philip

This is my first time trying to watch the source material. I commend your efforts. Insufferable!
