I don't have a question this time, but I would like to remind you, as you so often remind us, that we love you very much.

Joseph Aguilar

How do you maintain your health and wellbeing while constantly researching dark and upsetting news material?

MzMilena

Something something Palestine? I don’t know, I’m too tired to think of something coherent. It’s so exhausting to be constantly reminded of how easily Americans can be cool with the genocide of my brand of brown people. Love to hear a Showdy take on the situation. It can be a radioactive topic, so I understand if not. It’s why almost nobody talks about it. Thank god for the recent push with the New Democrats.

Timothy Fulton

Any advice for trying to maintain frayed relationships that were caused by the increased political polarization in this country. So often I find myself wanting to stay silent when my friends/family parrot conspiracy theories as fact because I know confrontation would result in nothing but escalating tensions. I can't have my 10yr old cousin hear that shit go unchallenged.

Timothy Fulton

any interest in bringing on a vaccine developer to go over the intricacies of the new mRNA platform and history of vaccine development/progression?

Andreas Kjell

Have we reached peak humanity? Has solidarity given way to individualism and capitalism?

StaleWhiteBread

Are there any orgs that you've worked with in the past or currently? I'm a member of the IWW (joined right before the pandemic, so I haven't actually been able to do org101) but I'm always looking for ways to work in solidarity with my comrades.

Forever Bulking

What do you think about Gavin Newsom’s recall election?

Cory Hammerschlag

Do you think conservative talking heads actually realize how dangerous it is for them to be polarizing people to such an extreme degree? Like, are they aware that they're literally tearing friendships/families/the fabric of society apart but don't care because money, or are they just not thinking beyond the personal acclaim (money, recognition, whatever) that spouting this rhetoric awards them?

John Lascurettes

So how exactly does one go about breaking the stranglehold of a polarizing, pluralistic voting system that is mathematically and historically proven to lead to the two-party system that ignores the democratic wishes of the majority?

Scott Harkless

How do you generally go about researching a story or news topic? Do you have certain standards you apply to a source or is it more a matter of relying on certain trusted sources ?

Nick Accardi

Should we even pay taxes this year?

A Socialist Hobgoblin

If y'all could meet anyone who has ever lived, who would you want to meet?

Steve Thomas

In a contest to purchase, transport, and assemble an Ikea bed frame as fast as possible without causing a major ...incident... which of the following teams do you believe would come out on top? - Cody and Warmbo - 2005 Cody and Old Cody - Robert Evans and a Raytheon X-9000 knife middle - Oops all Katie/y

Josh Woods

In a recent conversation with a coworker, he said he was worried about his wife getting the vaccine. I was able to tell him I had just gotten mine and that it wasn't affecting me in the ways he was worried about. The conversation was going well until about five minutes later it ended with "The government controls the weather, man. Hurricane Katrina was created to kill black people." I'm still not sure how we got so derailed so quickly. My question is: What is the best way to approach conversation with people consumed by conspiracy, and how do we combat this kind of insane misinformation?

Edward Campbell

How do we drum up support and continue momentum for leftist politicians into 2022 and 2024? We need to show a deafening and resounding defeat to NeoLiberalism and Republican fear mongering on mindless matters.

BingoFrog

How much attention do you give to the comment section after you post a video?

Stephanie Kay

Would you rather fall in love with a close relative of Ben Shapiro or have dicks for thumbs?

Stephen K

What is Cody Johnston’s relation to Casey Johnston?

Gumby with a sombrero

What's the point of it all? like, why are we doing all of this stuff? Should we stop?

Aperispomen

I know this is kind of old and obscure, but any thoughts on the US's official recognition of Morocco's annexation of Western Sahara?

ResponsibleDad

What do you think would happen if there was a 2008 or worse type of stock market crash in the near future?

Sean Piper

Don't you miss when Presidents got beejays and Veeps shot people in the face? Such a simpler time

Justice Words

Will you slake our thirst for a clever ringtone based on your SMN "flourish"? How's about for a negligible fee to SMN? Pleeeease?

Bryce Phillips

How on earth did you come up with that abomination Warmbo?

Marissa Lopez

I asked last time how far left you thought Biden could be pushed (not far at all, was the reply if memory serves). If you listen to mainstream media, they're "surprised how progressive Biden is being", but I'm not seeing it. Do you, or is it an attempt to pacify progressives through gas lighting?

Hayden Marshall

What do you think is the impact of the work you do? I think your platform is pretty good at deradicalizing people going down the alt- right pipeline, I've shown friends and family your videos and even conservatives get something from the videos. What can those of us without such a platform do to further leftist causes? Thank you, and great work on the show!

Kay Mo

What do you do to get away from the news?

HiSodiumContent

How bad do you think the inflation is going to get in the US? If you aren't planning on covering it, do you have shows/podcasts you'd recommend that are likely to do (or have done) a broad financial deep dive into the causes and possible outcomes of the inflation situation?

Neptune Jones

What would you recommend for someone wanting to get into the kind of stuff you do? And what is it exactly you think you do?

Caleb England

I worry every day about a civil war. I felt like we were really close when Trump was in office. Is that justified?

Duck

I was wondering if any of you were following the controversy in the medical sciences over aerosols and Covid? Early in the pandemic, a paper published in a physics journal and cosigned by 200-something scientists were warning about the 6-feet rule not being stringent enough. Another article has come out recently getting into the history and context that prompted the paper. Found here: https://www.wired.com/story/the-teeny-tiny-scientific-screwup-that-helped-covid-kill/ My background is in the medical sciences (cardiology) and it was clear to a lot of us that the CDC dropped the ball early on. Even when they have the right ideas and good advice, people are hesitant ( totally justified) to trust them. They also really suck at communicating to the public. Between the in-fighting in the medical sciences (mostly gate-keeping and politics) and the poor PR, I wonder how public health is going to look moving forward.

During the Some More News Movie, which was awesome by the way, y’all referenced a barrage of supplemental sources to create a brilliant story and argument. Do you have any quick advice about thinking critically about the news? Also, I was a janitor at a university for most of the pandemic, and even though my employer did an amazing job keeping me and my colleagues safe, I wanted to thank you you and your team because I so coped with dealing with the unknown by listening to Even More News! Y’all rock! :)

Julian Blatt

I haven’t listened to the most recent episode so you might have already discussed this but could you speak to the whole Liz Cheney sitch?

Sean Piper

When will "Some More News" be recorded before a live studio audience? The vaccine is getting out there now

Steve Snyder

As a white dude from Amarillo, the first time I even heard the term Critical Race Theory was in a law school class called Race and the Law when I was 35 at the University of Texas. Is there a chance you guys could do an episode on CRT on SMN? I know your audience base is mostly white, and I think it could be really helpful for a lot of people who were denied exposure to the concept growing up. Love you guys.

Steven Stettler

Please ask Robert Evans where the eat spice cum hard shirt is?
