I just subscribed after listening to the last few episodes. Didn't know the show could be this funny. good stuff

FMK ROUNDUP: (1) MARRY Daou, for Brie's reasons, and because my white ass might acquire some color through the transitive property PYRAMID Abramson because people still seem to take him seriously and that's not okay FUCK Garland, hop into the shower right afterwards, use all of his fanciest soaps, totally pillage his medicine cabinet to hedge against future Adderall shortages, and become the subject of his paranoid delusions for the foreseeable future (2) FUCK Joy, since judging by her Twitter avi, she takes care of herself, and it'd be over pretty fast, and just the one time MARRY Neera, because i can't help thinking she's actually pretty fine-looking, and we could build trust around her being the world's worst liar PYRAMID Hillary because Jesus, enough already (3+) REFUSE TO ANSWER any subsequent questions. COME ON, MAN. Could i just, i don't know, cook an elaborate meal using McArdle's kitchen equipment? Maybe swap recipes with Masha Gessen? Bludgeon most of the others, using Shapiro's body as a flail?

For the caller asking for an illicit history on venezuela; i agree, that would be great. In the meantime would suggest checking out "the dig" podcast (well in general, but specifically) from July 26th of last year to get a good picture of the crisis

Is there a TMBS next week? Or is the show on vacation along with MR?

Hi Michael and crew. Long time first time. I had a suggestion for a potential discussion on the show, so I hope this is an okay place to post that. I was listening to a contributor on MSNBC yesterday who proposed that a component of mass shootings could be an inability to deal with failure on the part of the shooters. It seemed like a shallow critique that veered into "we need to teach resilience" talk, but it got me thinking tangentially about mass shootings being influenced by our country's lack of a functional social safety net. If it is the case that "failure" is a contributing factor or "triggering event" (which I'm not sure has been established), then is it worth considering what the societal contexts of failure are in our society, particularly in so far as they exacerbate and compound feelings of hopelessness, alienation, and categorical thinking, all of which are correlated to suicidal ideation and attempts (which could be relevant in that suicide is often a component of mass shootings)? For example, losing a job has potential intrapersonal ramifications (diminished self-worth, feelings of aggrievement/betrayal, etc.), but losing a job in a difficult economy, when access to affordable insurance is tied to employment and consumer protections against predatory lending are being deliberately eroded (et al.), then not only are people dealing with internalized beliefs about their perceived failure and lack of worth, but also with the increased stress and objective lack of agency regarding basic necessities. I'm not sure if this line of thought will pan out, but to the extent that I keep reading "there's no way to stop this, says only country where this happens regularly" posts, I'm wondering if, in addition to our gun policies, our shit-show of social programs may be influencing or complicating this violence. I can't think of anyone to interview on this topic, but I'm sure there must be someone who can speak to it, possibly as a public health, political science, or civil rights issue. Thanks for all the work you all do.

Love anything with Brie. Allahu Akhbar!

TMBS

Awesome. Its gotta be everything bro, funny, reckless, radical and smart and lots of heart. Thanks man!

TMBS

Yeah this is really smart, not sure how we can address this, but i'll be reflecting on it for sure. Maybe some more people on the show with a psychological perspective

This guy seems to have done some research on the effects of social safety nets and their effects on crime. TIME quoted him in an article talking about the Swiss Model of gun control and why it works (and why it probably wouldn't work here). <a href="http://www.petersquires.net/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.petersquires.net/</a>
