you should be incredibly mad about weed charges and speeding tickets, especially after that DOJ Ferguson report and the fact that they're privatizing the collection of fines

There is. They have one where they "debate" a trad catch, and another where they kind of have a post mortem ep.

I listened to the Wardell ep forever ago and it was just... fine? Definitely not top tier content, but I don't understand the rage of some people who claim that Wardell is Satan incarnate or whatever.

The trad cath loser? Holy poo poo, if you ever want to yell at your radio/phone/computer monitor/whatever, screamlisten to that one.

I dunno about Satan incarnate, but he's a loving idiot in a way that I personally found more cringeworthy than entertaining.

I'm surprised that the tradcath thing didn't come up in their interview with Angela Nagle. I get that Douthat and Dreher aren't part of the alt-right, but I've encountered a sliver of young-ish tradcaths who are pretty much that type of guy, they just become conservative Catholics instead. Old Right instead of alt-right, and they repeat a lot of the same anti-feminist, anti-trans, etc. memes.

Which actually makes some sense to me, because if the salient factor is that you're a man who rejects liberal society because you can't get along in it, joining a conservative religious movement is maybe a better route to actually finding your place in a community than going down the 4chan rabbit hole.

I only listened to the recap, so I found it far more funny than it was annoying. It seemed like he really only had one trick in his playbook, and he was totally flustered when his TRUTH BOMB didn't blow the Dry Boys' minds.

The Rod Dreher profile in the NYer comes off like his story is the inverse of this -- he actually was making his way in the cosmopolitan world but couldn't get over the guilt and rejection of his family back home.
