They posted the HW episode so I guess they redid it or got a better recording of the live one

gently caress yes, a Dollop about John DeLorean. Was hoping they'd cover him and they didn't disappoint.

Now they need to do one about John McAfee

It's an American standoff.

After listening to the episode it was clear that joke went over 99% of the audience's heads

My favorite episodes are the ones like The Jet-Pack episode and the Bone Wars, about two dudes in a niche field who have a minor dispute that leads to a growing life-long feud that continuously escalates in stupidity and pettiness.

The Truck Nutz one is the same kind of deal

FedEx Flight 705 (#160) is another one of those crazy ones where it just keeps becoming more and more insane somehow

#181 Martin Tabert and Convict Leasing is also one of the ones that will make you very angry (and one of their few Florida episodes)

Some of the British Dollops are great in their insanity.

Cyril the Swan, The Glasgow Ice Cream Wars, and the Gin Craze are amazing. British alcoholism helped make America and Australia.

The Joseph Lister one will drive you insane in seeing how entrenched the old powers are against progress. Who would have thought cleanliness would be beneficial to surgery patient survival?

I have not listened to the Glasgow one yet but those other three are great, especially Cyril the Swan. That episode feels like they are describing some comedy movie from the 1980s.

i found iraq war pretty depressing on a macro level. like as they said, "it could have worked" but the bush admin basicaly just hosed up every step of the way or just put morons in charge of poo poo. ferguson is depressing because there are a million fergusons in this country and they are all equally hosed.

In Iraq, they absolutely did everything the opposite of how you would do it if you were trying to rebuild

It ended up being the playground for political donors who didn't know the first thing about Iraq

They sealed the fate of the entire country when they announced the de-Baathification plan, while (I assume) not understanding that almost everyone had to be registered as a party member to get a government job, whether they were actually pro-Saddam or not

Yeah I gave it a listen. Good one overall and probably does the story a lot better than that Clint Eastwood movie.

Well it can't be worse than his movie saying that a reporter who has since passed away was the kind of person who would sleep with people to get a story

He�s just very bad at English

He routinely fails to pronounce regular words correctly so I�m never surprised when he can�t pronounce regional or international names

What trips me up most is when he misreads the date. The Whale in Atlantic City started off as 1838!! But then he switched up a subsequent date to 19-whatever and I remained wholly confused as to what century the thing was supposed to be taking place in up until he mentioned the dude drove a Nissan, and I was like god drat it, Anthony

He does that a ton also. Once in awhile Gareth catches it.

Isn�t he a director now? I think a couple of years ago I saw his name coming up again for the first time in a long time because he was doing some directing.

I know it was a long time ago and that Joe Biden has apologized for everything, but holy gently caress that episode infuriated me especially with the recent "Joementum" that has been happening since South Carolina. Biden is obsessed with respect from both sides and the loving Republicans don't give a poo poo about any of that. ARGHKLWJF:WLKHV:LK

He actually never apologized according to Anita Hill. It�s also telling that he finally approached her about the time he was going to run for President. I take his comments about as seriously as Bloomberg trying to disavow his years of supporting Stop and Frisk in NYC

One funny thing that struck me during the Juicero ep is that there was a spiritual link to Theranos (beyond just being silicon valley grifting).
The dude having a genius idea of "what if I took this big complicated machine and made it small even though I don't know anything" is the exact same origin as Theranos. Holmes just said hey I've got this great idea, blood testing but really small. Never stopped to consider that maybe that would be really complicated and maybe there was a reason that the technology hadn't already been miniaturised by actual scientists and engineers.

Yes and also i was thinking of the Soylent guy with how he was legit crazy, especially at the end where the Juicero dude just fucks off to go live in the woods and post about it on Instagram

Has the water craze died? When I listened to the episode I didn't know the juicero guy was also one of the people going gaga over living water.

I�m sure the raw water craze is still a thing in CA because rich people are idiots (see also: everything Goop sells).

It's really telling when you see back then how the Dems used actual power. For a long time they controlled Congress even without controlling the WH and yet they allowed people like Thomas to get lifetime appointments for the SC. The man was incredibly unqualified, which is bad enough before you bring in the constant sexual harassment.
