The real reason Frank Vandersloot probably got audited is that he runs a pyramid scheme called Melaleuca.

Veep S7 e6 “she's a dumb cunt” 😂 😂 😂

Rainbow Sprinkles

no he did not just "cosmic background microwave radiation" DED

Protestors are masking also because COVID is still a threat.

I just read the Peggy Noonan episode. I wondered why they didn’t mention one of the columns that she wrote in the period after 9/11. She apparently came across some Middle Eastern-looking tourists taking pictures of tall buildings and wondered why nobody was arresting them!

the disgust at how Brits say filet made me audibly yell "yeah!" bc truly how dare they judge anyone for pronunciation

When Peter said “big scandal in 2013” I immediately assumed it was going to be the tan suit

Anna Jahns

The reason the British ‘know’ how to pronounce Pret à Porter is only because it’s a sandwich store!

Putting in a request for Bridges Out Of Poverty by Ruby Payne…so problematic and had such a hold on the education & education nonprofit sector for so long.

Lauren Chamberlain

This episode is already killing me because this pundit has the same surname as me. I'm Australian and at least can't be related to her.

Lewis Noonan

could you guys do an episode breaking down the Red Scare Podcast?? everything i know about them has been like a weird game of telephone im playing against my will (i don’t think they have a book but it could still make a good bonus ep?)

re: R. Hanania's The Origins of Woke .... best Mike line ever: "just don't smoke near the doors, man." Please make tshirts. LOL

FYI, somebody on the Discord is pretending to be Peter and trying to get people in a cryptocurrency scam.

New subscriber. Just wanted to throw out a suggestion for "Think and Grow Rich". A book from the 30s about achieving your goals in 13 steps. I don't actually know if there is a lot there to comment on, but step 10 "The Mystery of Sex Transmutation" sounds interesting.

I'm fiending for another episode.

Omg PLEASE I need a Maintenance Phase x If Books Could Kill crossover episode for A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century. There was some light transphobia pretty early on, and now we’ve graduated to fluoride, sunscreen, and vitamin D trutherism!! I’m not even a third of the way in.

Mike got COVID lol

What happened to the main feed episode for June?

I’m so proud of those kids for not talking with the media. It’s a hard lesson we had to learn from past movements

Patrick Farabaugh

Brilliant stuff. Y’all make me happy.

Leo Puppytime
