"And the thing about these people....very smart people...known them for the years...agreed with them on some, disagreed with them on many things....the thing about them is....."
His use of vocabulary is so great. MM and MW mostly stick to casual (which I love), and then Kmele jumps in with some real upscale shit. It's the best.
Thank you for this link-tastic linkapalooza Matt, and special thanks for providing lots of high quality debunking of the "Ross Ulbricht ordered all these murders for hire" storyline
I wondered about that, but assumed that was referring to Matt's frequent complains about how long the applications took during (and way too long after) COVID. If it _was_ meant to refer to the the shots line, then I think it would have benefited from being more direct, but that's just my opinion, for however little that's worth.
Yes, I know. You all yelled at me once when I suggested it was in an email. Well Kmele not so much, he must have taken his edible, but Matt and Michael.😢
And speaking of HoF voters, I'm still pissed that out of 506 ballots in 2004 only 7 managed to vote for Dave Stieb, one of the most dominant pitchers of the 80s, ensuring he fell off the ballot after one lousy year. Ichiro was great, but I'll get to his missing 1 vote in 2040.
The Suderman era shall commence on The RR, to be quickly followed by the Spencer era on TFC! It's the populist wave sweeping America, no point fighting it.
where is "French goodbye"???
I might need a version 2!
We need to add "good lord" too 😉
I've accidentally added it to my vocabulary....
I was looking for a Moyn yawns.
All these MM squares and not a single "one last thing on this"
Or calling someone a complete psychopath
I'm honored! I made it sitting next to my kid was watching Netflix before school. (She cannot read)
The suggested rules are as follows:
Drink when you cover a square
Finish your drink for bingo
Malort for cover all.
MM: "By the way"
Welch: slurring
MM: random hot women comment
KF: Silent for over three minutes
Welch: comment about his high school (not that rich POS down the street!)
MM: talks about someone but "can't say who"
MM: randomly brings up hockey
All: "speaking out of school"
**Edit: I need to add anytime Matt says "motherfucker" because he says it so well.
MM: I was having dinner with a friend the other night and....
several minutes later....
MM: Am I the only one paying for the subway?
"...friend the other night. I can't say who but they work in XYZ world."
"And the thing about these people....very smart people...known them for the years...agreed with them on some, disagreed with them on many things....the thing about them is....."
MM: one final thing on this before we move on, [ten minutes rant]
Kmele saying “preposterous!”
His use of vocabulary is so great. MM and MW mostly stick to casual (which I love), and then Kmele jumps in with some real upscale shit. It's the best.
Jeez you really put my 5th drinking game to shame. You got some of them but feel free to incorporate any of the rest on more cards lol
And don't forget the Moyn-mid-sentence-chuckle (either of the dirty or the disdainful variety).

Fifth Column bingo cannot be a Fifth column bingo without:
"Melanin forcefield"
"this is a true-story"
"well, we should punch out of here soon"
Honorable mentions
"Turkshittystan"
Kmele blaccent
Moynihan blaccent
Moynihan Indian Accent
I would also toss in name checking a Cold War-era Eastern Bloc head of state and/or dissident.
Moynihan Accent is a very easy central free square
There oughta be another level to NFC where you find out who Moynihan won’t name in his stories on the pod.
Another bingo-worthy Fifthism I don’t think I’ve ever seen mentioned: Moynihan, beginning an anecdote, says “and this is true.”
We believe you, Moynihan! Nobody thinks you’re lying!
Well…
How on earth can a 5th column bingo card not have "Do you have your shots?"
I assumed that was included under “passport process.” 🤣

“Kmele’s at a conference”
😂😂😂
Yes, I know. You all yelled at me once when I suggested it was in an email. Well Kmele not so much, he must have taken his edible, but Matt and Michael.😢
Kmele: "We been going for awhile, probably about time to punch out of here."
Podcast goes on for another 45 minutes....
Moyn mentions Baader Meinhof
The free square in the middle should be simply “snek”
as a Chicago native it warms my heart to see malort on there
I believe "Red China" is missing.
And speaking of HoF voters, I'm still pissed that out of 506 ballots in 2004 only 7 managed to vote for Dave Stieb, one of the most dominant pitchers of the 80s, ensuring he fell off the ballot after one lousy year. Ichiro was great, but I'll get to his missing 1 vote in 2040.
Has Matt said why he’s stepped back from hosting the reason round table?
Time for a new era!
Excited for you!

Beard seniority.
Curious about this too.
