never found the guest charming. never found the guest funny. And that includes the extremely clueless title of his 'book' (shudder). The guest has much in common with street prostitutes. Except the service the girls provide is considerably more worthy. and they're probably a lot funnier. Meow.

I was about to suggest, film critic and Z Channel guy, F. X. Feeney as a guest. But I just saw that he died in 2020. :(
Antonio Primavera
It's just that it's so fucking <b>done</b> already. We're all sick of the Holocaust industry. Other people have suffered and continue to suffer. Get over it already!

Great perspective. I agree.
Matt Markwalder
You sound a little bit upset because Jerry was talking shit about your boy Adolf. SPOILER ALERT: Hilter sucks.
Jorge Espinha
I’m having that experience right now. Listening to Joe Rogan , Louis CK and some other guy. Listening about how Bill fucking Hicks was such a genius when he cleared a room. “People that aren’t comics don’t understand “. I’m glad I don’t understand.
Jorge Espinha
We have to tell him
Thomas Matich
I wonder if Bret knows who Tim Dillon is…
Jorge Espinha
I even root for Ben and J lo and I don’t like them much.
Jorge Espinha
Hahahaha. You must be fit as hell. Crazy guy
Jorge Espinha
No no no. We should never look inside the sausage factory
Jorge Espinha
Sometimes. A loud an honest laugh. Unless I’m imagining it
Jorge Espinha
Yes, he is a “libtard”. Still writers are the best guests. I don’t want to date him or elect him as my representative. Good conversation. Please, more writers and film director. And….Tim Dillon

"Hitler ate human poop. I know. I am an expert. I have a hundred books about Hitler written by Jews who hate him." This fucking guy... what a joker. Then he has the balls to talk about Hitler being a junkie. Stahl, don't you owe your entire career to being a junkie?
Anthony Punnett
Not sure why a libtard like Jerry is getting so much airtime are there no good guests currently in LA?

The last 30 minutes of Nope was a big letdown.. I liked everything up to that point.

If Godwin’s Law applied to podcasting it would be called Stahl’s Law

I loved hearing about Mr. Stahl and his dedicatee to close out the interview. I’d be interested in Brett’s Nope review. I was also surprised by how much I liked the movie, just would have liked less of an action movie at the end.

I'm curious about that, too. I used to write first drafts in notebooks, but then I got used to keyboards (Word doc all the way, single spaces but double spaces for paragraphs) and started just typing first drafts. It was so much less tedious. These days I might even tap out something on a doc file on my phone, depending how an idea comes to me. But not a lot of that.

My brother and I rewatched that Eagles documentary from a few years ago. The one that is like four years long. But we LOVED it -- even the part where they're desiccated and circumspect and old -- LOVED it. I want to find a cool CCR documentary like that though it'd probably be depressing. Anyway. It got me to thinking that the collective WE of the BEE pod and of course Bret and Adam, we should rank the best of The Eagles' solo works. Henley would obviously be the champion....but is that obvious? Glenn Frey might have something to say about that. Or Joe Walsh. I admit I am quite fond of Smuggler's Blues and You Belong to the City. I've heard the Heat Is On way too many times. Fuck that one. Anyone like that idea?
Collin Myers
someone who is a platinum QA member should ask bret if he uses ms word, prints and edits by hand, saves all his drafts, double spaces, etc.--former aspiring writer i know i sound like the lamest nerd ever but im so into that stuff

Does Bret ever laugh?
George Quartz
I love that Bret implements writing to combat pain and his tears of spiritual relief were heartwarming. Unrelated: Another author and bassist for Blondie, Gary Lachlan(aka Gary Valentine), who writes primarily about the occult could make an interesting guest. I would suggest it to Adam, but I can’t warrant the pricey subscription. Otherwise I’d ask if Bret’s ever been in trouble for his use of Roman à clef and what he’d think of Bronze Age Mindset in regards to his previous Red Scare guests’ admiration for it and their apparent to shift to the neo-reactionary Thiel-funded right wing. Alas, however, I reside far below on the silvery tier of the Patreon caste….

I just finished watching Marathon Man cause of this episode. Good movie, was way better than I had ever considered
Poetical Gore
lol at the cpac race mixing thing....I see he is back writing fiction...
Brian Borough
I think I’ve had my fill of Jerry Stahl for the foreseeable future
Brian Rooney
You know, when Marc Maron has a comic on and they talk about the “craft”, I wanna freak. What nonsense! What navel gazing! “The modern day philosopher”. Zzz… But man! When Bret and guest talk writing, it is absolutely the best stuff. Ear candy.
Brian Rooney
Yes. I always think that. Especially Glamorama and Lunar Park for some reason.
Dave
Would be interesting to see a sample page from his outlines.
Dave
Loved hearing BEE describe his approach to writing.
richard owain roberts
am going to listen on my run. will say more later, after my run

FANTASTIC episode
Thomas Edwards
'Why can't I root for Tom Cruise?'. Therein lies the answer to your lifelong unease my man.
PETER GREER
Excellent episode thank you
