🕑 Added 2017-11-27 04:30:22 +0000 UTC Amber, Matt and Will are back from the holiday to talk about a shitty NYT profile of Boy Gladiator Ben Shapiro and a piece in Politico about the politics of Turkey day by pro-Trump college professor and anti-cursing advocate Mark Bauerlein.

Jesus are you saying Amber?

This episode is a great reminder in 2021 of why I'm glad that twat hasn't been on the show in a while

Oddly, the site is down right this second, but Nathan Robinson's polemic against Shapiro is as deft, logical, and "eviscerating" as Shapiro wishes he was in his wildest, 5'1" dreams.... <a href="https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/12/the-cool-kids-philosopher" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/12/the-cool-kids-philosopher</a>

Amber's definitely right about Shapiro v Milo

these three on their own have a fantastic dynamic (no shade to felix or virgil). smooth as eggs.

It's pronounced hop-uh. He's a real fuck. <a href="https://angrywhitemen.org/2017/10/15/hans-hermann-hoppe-sings-the-alt-rights-praises-at-the-2017-property-freedom-society-conference/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://angrywhitemen.org/2017/10/15/hans-hermann-hoppe-sings-the-alt-rights-praises-at-the-2017-property-freedom-society-conference/</a>#more-42323

Armond is too transparently a troll to be worth taking down. "David Fincher's petty nihilism is no match for the joie de vivre that is 'Norbit'"! -every Armond review. Rex Reed is so much worse.

Amber sounds smashed. Great episode.

Women magically change their age all the time. Both my grandmothers knocked six years off theirs.

The woman who wrote this profile interviewed me about teen vaping habits in NYT.

I can't remember, but Amber has/ had a pod with Sam Kriss called Whale Vomit, it's a similar balance... I highly recommend it

Totally. I was just in my hometown, suburban San Diego, and the kids there who like Gav-Milo DO care who's "cool." Hillary is lame, they like Milo because he mocks woke-speak and other things they find annoying. But they aren't bigots either, just kinda dumb, So Cal stoners are all about "chill,"
Joel Taylor
2 out of 2 pop-punk San Diego little brothers who voted Trump think Ben is a douche but loved Cum Town. Gav-Milo mock Fearless Girl and woke-speak, that's the appeal. So, I agree with Amber, at least when it comes to the segment I know: the mid-millennial So Cal stoner. They find Hillary-crats lame and pretentious and Gav-Milo was the only irreverent alternative on their radar, they don't know there's a left critique of liberalism. There's zero overlap with proud-virgin conservatism, Baby Ben is so not chill.

quick: if a child with progeria identifies as a 7 year old, but we see them as a 60 year old... do we split the difference??

Brendan left the pod a few weeks ago...

Thought these three were a great combo. Has it ever been just amber matt will before?
Brian Barnes-Cocke
You guys should do a take down of Armond White. It would take some deep cuts but you guys have it in you.

Fun fact: Ben Shapiro played Eddie Haskell in the 1997 remake of Leave It To Beaver.
Igor Calija
He went all the way to Grenada to join Hezbollah?

My parents are both Midwest middle-class liberal arts university professors. They and most of their colleagues voted Trump. That Politico author wants to feel unique where he isn't, and east coast publishers are indulging him.

what episode number is that? I'm a new subscriber

It's supposed to help you brain-meld into the cth mind collective
Levi Thompson
so, who's applying to Ralston College now?
Professor Gascan
They mentioned the subject briefly in the President Wario episode and Matt's conclusion was that their videos are too excruciating to sit through. It was a while ago though so I don't know if they've changed their minds since then.
Rusty
Have they done an episode on all these YouTube rational skeptics? That community is a damn goldmine

i love ya'll to death but ever since Matt moved to NYC his interrupting has increased like 1000%

I deal with it by also eating constantly while listening on earbuds so my chewing noise drowns theirs out.

The only thing that has ever made me feel empathy for Jr was the horrible pained grunt he let out

Actually, the best right wing nutjob nickname is Baruch Obamawitz. Shalom.

Amber sloppily eating food on mic while trying to talk. Fuck that. I'm out
David Zysk
I agree with Amber on there being a difference between Milo and Shapiro. I’d like to hear more hot takes from this podcast

@ 38:00 They're talking about the college I went to and graduated from this year. Sorry.

Eat more on mic, the sound of chewing makes me insanely horny

Ben actually got Chip Hazard and his crew of soldiers to protect him from the antifa Gorgonites.
