Haven’t started listening yet but I’m really hoping you all talk about the Last Week Tonight boar segment! The comments on the youtube video are entirely “Cody was right!!!!”

You know that discourse about Obama's rhetoric... it's almost like they're saying the left got a little bit too PC so they changed all their opinions about the economy, social issues, systemic racism, health care and history.

I mean, he chose blue because he was probably looking at the reflecting pool one day and thinking "I wish this was a swimming pool at one of my shitty resorts", right?

“even more more pool” sounds like the evil universe version of EMN but hosted by Tim Poole

Chlorine works in a pool or hot tub that has a pump and circulates the water. Very difficult to install that in a pool that is longer than tall buildings are tall.

Odd they didn’t mention behind the bastards did a two parter on Gabbard awhile ago and pointed out she was in a cult

@28:10 would it help the optics if we only had chiseled pool boys managing this? Obviously this shouldn't be happening in the first place, like alot of things in 2026, but would half naked hunks atleast make it better?

I agree that Gabbard's appointment was an embarassment and is a perfect showcase of this administration's incompetance, but is no one out there going to point out how whacked the f--- out it is that she made it through the senate vetting process?

I think comparing Trump to a Roman emperor is really just saying he acts like a king and all kings are like that, but that conversation at the end reminded me of this quote from Dio Chrysostom about the emperor Nero. "Why should they not have promised that man who offered so much? Or do you not know how great the might of the giver is? For example, wherever and whenever it is necessary to appoint an Emperor, they choose the wealthiest man, any one from whom they hope to get the most money; but as to the other qualifications, they do not care what sort of man he is, even if he sooner or later is to geld them all after taking over the government everybody including the men who have received the money, and, besides, intends to deprive them of every blessed thing they have. This, indeed, was especially true of Nero, and no one contradicted him in anything, whatever he said, or affirmed that anything he commanded was impossible to perform, so that even if he ordered anyone to fly, the man promised that too and for a considerable time he would be maintained in the imperial household in the belief that he would fly." (Dio Chrysostom, The Twenty-First Discourse) I have a slight obsession with Nero, sorry, but, also, good episode!

I find it odd that discussions around Tulsi Gabbard never really delve into her relationship with Bernie Sanders. In 2016 I voted for Bernie Sanders for president with Tulsi Gabbard as his running mate. They were an officially recognized write-in ticket on California ballots, so I assume there's a good chance that the Bernie-supporting Californians who create this podcast also voted for them/her. They got nearly 1% of the vote in CA. I'm not sure what exactly I would want from that discussion, or what I would expect you to say. But it's something that I think of everytime I hear or read about Tulsi Gabbard - I voted for her to be VP to Bernie's President. Sounds insane now but I think that is just another marker of how upside-down our country has become over the last 10 years.
