Just wanted to drop in and say thank you to all three of you guys, especially after hearing you read the email I sent about grief. It really helped me to hear all the different perspectives you guys have, and to see the responses of other Fifdom folks has been really nice. That Bukowski poem hits HARD, as do all the other insights and shares here. All of us listeners come for the politics and banter but the personal insights mean a lot to I’d like to think most of us.
Anyway enough emo BS from me (and apologies for bringing the mood down if it did for anyone). Thanks again, and looking forward to 202Fif (see what I did there??).
Matt, since I know you are the only one who reads this thread, I am reminded that your mentioning of the late James Earl Carter, has become a thing in my class. When I refer to current Presidents in my US History class, I will say "Joseph Robinet Biden" or "Donald Jefferson Trump" and there is a particular student who will sigh and comment about me "using their full government names." I only did this after listening to you here and the other podcast you are on regularly.
I liked the letter from the listener who said that his first Fifth episode was #121 with Glenn, John, Coleman, and Thomas. That was my first episode, too. Not only that, it was my first *podcast* episode. Some day I'll have to catch up on the first 120.
Thank you for your service/this playlist Matt, I know it was a lot of work but it's a lovely way to remember the departed (dearly & otherwise). And I loved the (not Bob) Dylan's comment and the Bukowski, wow
Also, although I hesitate to say it in mixed company, I love The Vibrators (or maybe I should make that "The Vibrators" the band, you know, for clarity's sake)

Love the Bukowski poem and the walkoff music. Happy New Year

So thanks, for what it's worth.
Not sure if there is a joke I am missing, but Donald Trump's middle name is John.
Oh really? I’ve been saying it wrong this whole time! Thanks
Big hugs and cheers — vibrators optional — for the days and years ahead!

Love wins.
very touching
I condone the calendar.
My conservative dad appreciates Carter for “helping create the modern Republican Party”
The Jim Carroll Band remains stuck in my head, and I’m sad he died too soon for People Who Died could make your People Who Died playlist
Perhaps the all time comment of the week this time. Good time for it and have a Happy New Year all!
Wrong kid died.
