the dave anthony version is better

West Wing Thing has lovely audio. And while I like both hosts, I think it would be better if one of them was replaced with a Matt or Virgil type. The hosts they've got are both media people with an interest in politics. So when they're criticizing the show as show it's really good, but when they go to politics they can stumble and it turns into the two of them trying to vaguely remember the 90s. If they got a politics wonk with an interest in media, bring that perspective in, it could be really good

There are so many reasons that Iran could beat us, you don't need to bring up the Millennium Challenge at all. They didn't mention the fact that Iran is like the size of all of Western Europe, and is all mountains, swamps, or dense urban areas. The three absolute worst kinds of terrain for an invading force

I listened to the first couple episodes of Ballin' Out Super. It was pretty funny, but they kept insulting the franchise, which was weird and annoying. Not like, "this specific thing was bad" but general "lol garbage show" or "It's better if you watch the Japanese because then you can't understand the stupid plot!". Do they ever get over themselves and admit that it's a good show that they unironically like, or does the irony shield stay up for the next 100+ episodes?

The original idea was that Gravel would somehow push Bernie to the left on foreign policy issues. This makes no sense and wouldn't work. Why would he suddenly get more anti-interventionist just because a meme candidate met the low standards to get onto the debate stage?

You're wrong. The original idea was that the teens thought they would get to go on Chapo. That was the entire basis of the Gravel campaign.
