I was trying to watch the Hitler thing on my phone...being 55 and basically blind without reading glasses, which I couldn't find because I am 55, have ADHD, am already going senile, had one boulevardier down, and was working on a bottle of wine.... all of that to explain that I could not see, so I did not understand the Hitler thing. Being frustrated with my lack of understanding, I moved to my computer which is slightly bigger than my phone, but I still really couldn't see. So after 15 minutes of wandering around the house blindly looking for one of the 10,000 pairs of reading glasses I bought so I would always have some around...I was successful watched the Hitler thing and Laughed my ass off. So thank you and many props to Arch Stanton.
I was hoping to get a hot take on the conversation between your friends this week, MK & BUS classifying Epstein as "not a pedophile" because he was into "barely legal girls" aged 15 instead of 8 year olds (8 year olds, Dude). Anything to defend their King, right?
With Zohran coming in as mayor up there I feel like it’d totally be appropriate to start sending folks gift cards. Maybe I could get one at each of the stores across the city line….
Think he’s going for the Simon and Garfunkel song; But if California Stars, let’s be honest with ourselves. That’s Woody’s words, but it’s Jay Bennett’s song, especially if you ever saw it live.
Please please please invite basketball and culture commenter (formerly of the Athletic) Wosny “Wos” Lambre on the Pod. Now on No Fouls Given with Paul Pierce. Was just on Ethan Strauss show- he checks a lot of Wethefifth boxes and I love his stream of discussion,flow and commentary. Sample takes with Ethan- “Nike isn’t selling Caitlin Clark sneakers so she can stand up there and talk woke shit” and this gem- “people revere Kobe Bryant like Free Market folks cling onto Milton Friedman “…. He’s so great.
Matt, if you’re looking for a great new song (especially for fifth outro worthiness), I recommend You Look by So Pretty When You’re On Your Knees” by Das Body, also just a kickass band from Norway (and with a smokin hot Scandi front woman-paging Moynihan)…but notably of course, the song is all but explicitly anti-government/nanny state. Enjoy…
I know Olivia Nuzzi is an adult and she is entitled to make her own bad decisions, but holy cow, she mashed on that bad decisions button until it broke.
Awwwe there you go and quote one of the most gorgeous GenX songs ever in the subtitle. My daughter just started school there too. You guys have my heart, haha! Thanks for doing what you do and have a great trip with Nancy

I was going to suggest multiple pairs so that you’d be good to go, but apparently you’ve got that covered.
That was hysterical.
The Hitler video is amazing. Perhaps he really was just misunderstood? It’s like he’s been listening to me bitch about the pod.
“Matt I’m lost,” I said, though I knew he was sleeping. Im empty and aching and I don’t know why.
Damn it, I almost bought tickets to the screening tonight. Keep visiting Matt and soon you’ll be an honorary Tulsan à la Jack White.
The dance video is fantastic. Those girls have a future. I love that they have dancing girl faces, not the plastered on fake smiles of the pros.
Awesome seeing the Antiques Road Show poster guy showing up in firehose!

Is the title of this a reference to Wilco x Billy Bragg’s cover of the Woodie Guthrie song? https://youtu.be/lWQ4IPPXz2k?si=8N17e-Iw9lXVJMEr

Don Williams , flashback to '77 and I am a kid deep in the Michigan woods and the old man's 8 track is squeaking from the dash of an old rust Scout.
Whole video had me expecting a Larry Clark film to break out though.
Song is a bit better is you switch "Tulsa Time" with "Drugs & Wine" might just be me though.
