Having Lacey on to discuss Gregor McGregor on BtB is spot on because while McGregor is otherwise perfect as the subject for podcasts about con artists like Scam Goddess, Lie Cheat and Steal, etc, the sheer amount of people that ended up dead because of him kind of takes the fun out of the story and sends him straight to BtB/The Dollop territory. This is a great middle ground.

Between “choking to death on bird piss” and the description of how the sea lion/seal oil trade worked I think this episode has the most nausea-inducing moments of any BtB

Also I'm pretty sure I heard (and it was not given nearly enough attention) that one of the effects of being on the island too long was that you'd see your name written in the patterns on the eggs?

I'd love a Tim Pool one. I feel like he's the person in the general alt-right-o-sphere I know the least about, beyond the fact that he makes his henchmen live in a compound with him and he wears a beanie to hide his bald spot.

I’ll bite: it’s pronounced sigh-aw-sit. But properly pronounced you need to inflect a glass shattering accent, like how I did when I heard see-oss-it. But god that turd would be from LI, we produce such bafflingly spineless turds - Bill O’Reilly, Peter King, the Baldwins (WHO AREN’T FROM BALDWIN, NY.

Rubin's horrible stand-up catapulted me back to the early aughts when terrible comedians could coast on pointing at things and saying "that's gay", except apparently this dude decided he'd get in on the action by pointing at himself and saying "I'm gay" and waiting for the homophobe laffs to roll in.

Just going from what Robert dug up in the episode, it seems like Islamophobia is the thing that started moving Rubin to the right (inasmuch as he was ever actually on the left). That also seems like a very aughts "intellectual" trend, particularly with people mentioned in the episode like Sam Hyde and Bill Maher.

Yeah, “intellectuals” consider themselves above the “enlightened barbarism” of religious groups, and they just kind of soft-shoe from theological critique to cultural and racial critique and their audience gets such a rush from nodding their heads along in synch that they become immune to criticism, it loving sucks. I bumped into this a ton in Philly, white progressives and hippies would tell me all about how horrible Muslims were and how awful Islam is whenever I’d tell them about the schools I taught in, with literally not an ounce of self-awareness. These were all Hilary voters.

I got some female empowerment athleisure ad for Q Clearance, which was especially funny because I feel like the target demo for that athleisure brand is probably the same group of Instagram influencers who got sucked into QAnon this year.

And the pay is pretty outrageous at this moment. I know there are folks who think I could do a patreon or whatever, and I'm sure i could, but i have several issues with that: 1. I like the team I work with at iHeart (esp sophie) and no patreon I could reasonably get would pay us all living wages and healthcare 2. we are in a pandemic and economic downturn, money is very tight especially for a lot of the people who like my work. i have friends who make their living off patreon and that pool of money is not endless 3. generally crowdfunding involves backer-exclusive content, and i like that everything i put out is free to anyone who wants to listen 4. the size of their network is significant and they do a great job of amplifying my work. i think the stuff i'm putting out there is important, and because of iheart's reach I am able to reach millions of folks.

And the pay is pretty outrageous at this moment. That is all great to hear, and (to me at least) a very reasonable way to look at the business you're in. What I'd like to see is you make a thread or effort post in GWS about your pit turkey. Next time you do one, take a bunch of pics, and tell us how it's done. Or, you could youtube it. I'm interested in hearing/watching/reading/seeing more about all that.
