Turns out the real conspiracy is that Doge is cutting federal programs to free up funds for MOAR FIF CONTENT!!

If they took out DOE with the sole intent to fund Fif, I'd champion it!

1. I've seen a great many things and met a great many people by driving - to Alaska, across the country, all over the Scottish Highlands, etc. I've also moved to two places just by looking at a map and taking a drive there. I like the nomadism about these behaviors and don't understand people who never explore by driving.

2. Jack Valenti was our commencement keynote at my uni graduation. He spoke with incredible grace about the JFK assassination. I have it on DVD and will digitize and share the speech if anyone would like. It was very special.

Michael Moynihan and Anthony Weiner together in an interview? I don’t know if the world is ready yet for that much horniness in one room.

Is Matt literally driving across half of the country to go step on snek...???

At 22:41 when Matt began speaking about the Serpent Mound, I was disappointed to not hear either 1) more doubt expressed by Kmele in lieu of the 'No step on snek' scandal and/or 2) not to have either host troll Matt, asking if visitors can step on it.

Ahhh The Cahokia Mounds; field trips there a rite of passage for STL area schoolchildren.

As an expat STL native who has just left again after spending the most time there since covid times, bummed I'm going to miss it!

Hopefully you get into town early enough to check out the CWE located Cathedral Basilica, home to one of the largest mosaic installations in the world! A stunningly beautiful church.

Totally agreed with Matt's due process rant at the end of the show, he is so right. The worst part of all this is that while he's totally right, this will be an intensely hard political fight, because all the juice is on the side of "what you support the terrorists and drug dealers and gang members?" It's hard enough to get people to stick with innocent until proven guilty, it's even harder to make the argument that we need to give everyone, even people who are likely guilty of the worst crimes, the due process rights that humans are entitled to.

After hearing that Advisory Opinions episode with the section about "Common Good Constitution", it seems like there's a whole movement afoot that believes "it's constitutional if I like it, and unconstitutional if I don't."

Good Boys’. Just release content daily. Moynihan can record out in the field while Kmele and Matt stay in the studio because they’re pussy’s. Moynihan will have bullets wizzing by while Kmele defends Ye😂

Is there an episode that Moynihan gives his policy prescription for Ukraine? I do get how he doesn’t want the invading party to make out well during any negotiation. But I’m wondering: what else is realistic?

I do think that there are some questions about whether or not district court judges have the jurisdiction/authority to issue temporary restraining orders nationwide on broad issues rather than some narrow and specific TRO based on the case in front of them. But as Justice Roberts said recently, the way to deal with that is to appeal it to the SC and get a ruling, not to just shrug and say "nah"

Welch, where/when are you guys meeting in St. Louis? I live two minutes away from this “something called the Central West End” and would love any excuse to drink on a Sunday.
