How tone deaf do you have to literally use the term "oligarchs" at a time when antipathy for elites is especially high?
Also, am I only the one who sees an opportunity for Trump to turn the argument that he's a threat to democracy back on Biden and Democrats, just like he did with the term fake news? The argument is easy -- After the debate it's clear that Biden lacks the capacity to fully carry out the duties of the President, which means that a vote for Biden is really a vote for a figurehead, while all the real decision-making power will lie with unelected and relatively unknown members of the Biden "oligarchy".
I just can't believe one of these two guys is going to become President...again. What the fuck is wrong with this country?
See that's the trouble. Started with wine, but the wine ran out too quick, so was given some kind of marg concoction, and then after that I'm not really sure what happened.
I mean we all know this by now but sometimes in the heat of battle things fall apart and the last thing you end up drinking when everything else runs out is that low end peach schnapps that’s been sitting in the cabinet for 4 years
When I was 22, my friends and I rented a cabin in Lake Tahoe for New Years. We drank like there was no tomorrow. First beer with dinner,and then a bunch of vodka based cocktails. We rang in the New Year with shots of Bacardi 151. I was hungover for 2 days and definitely learned my lesson.
Serious question - do you go with your broke-journalist roots and drink any old swill or has being married to a Frenchwoman pushed you in a more discerning direction?

I personally thought Matt’s comments were all as brilliant as he surely knew when he blessed us with them. Who was it that said, “Only speak when you can improve upon silence?” That’s Dean Phillips, quoting someone else and getting it wrong once again. : ). Drunken thoughts are always a value-add.
As someone who made a somewhat infamous drunk appearance on this podcast, I fucking loved listening to these drunk Matt clips.
Think the Epic Drunk performances were:
3) this one
2) yours
1) Rommelmann literally falls asleep
But I might be forgetting one or three.
Schulz was blasted at the Miami show, too, though he did get off a memorable catchphrase in "Land the plane!"
Right?
Release the fucking episode!
542 now, 542 tomorrow, 542 forever!
Welch returns with Timberlake levels of confidence. Now how about that world tour boys?
Or: Bringing sneky back?
👏👏👏
Bringing heterodoxy back.

Well said!
It is why we subscribe, Matt! 😍
Still more coherent than Biden, Mr. Welch
good one
There is such an easy way out of this: convince Joe to skip 2024 and come back stronger than ever in 2028.
LOL!!
Despite being called out, I second Igor.
Hear, hear!
Anyone else see this Axios story?

The two major parties and too long since a constitutional convention is what.
I’m with Nancy Rommelmann. The parts I did watch had me fuming at Jill Biden for allowing this to happen. It was humiliating and miserable to watch.
Is there a level of donation at which we can have access to the entire “lost” drunk episode? I have a heloc that’s burning a hole in my pocket.
I don't know what it says about me, but looking at the top picture all I can think is "that is the weirdest key party ever".
EW
Exactly, I don’t know what is worse, Italians or the Irish; and together, well that’s the good times in reverse.
I don't know what it says about me, but I immediately looked for residue on the table.
What did we tell you about “double-Moynihanning”???!!!??!!!
A drunk Mr. Welch sounds exactly like I thought it would. My only question (unless I missed it) is what were you drinking?
See that's the trouble. Started with wine, but the wine ran out too quick, so was given some kind of marg concoction, and then after that I'm not really sure what happened.
This is why I go margaritas first, then wine.
Yea that's a horrible idea.
A heavy lesson I learned in college. Don't mix drinks. Stay with one kind. The follow up isn't pretty.

I initially thought I had turned my podcast on .75 speed when I first heard him.
I thought you guys were sipping top shelf tequila types
You know what happened, you know, you know the thing.
It’s okay though. I get it. Here is a converslet from last weekend:
In the wee hours of the morning, a voice rang out:
“Where did all of these drugs come from?”
Another voice intervened:
“They came from you, they came from you, Jeff.”
“I learned it by watching you, Jeff”
Oh, yeah, that'll getcha
Matt's basically a Wine Mom
Serious question - do you go with your broke-journalist roots and drink any old swill or has being married to a Frenchwoman pushed you in a more discerning direction?
Discerning
Good to know - will skip the Yellowtail when I end up in the position to send drinks over to the crew.

Those margs shall live in infamy. Will show you the video I made of Christina in the elevator leaving the party, MLW...
Oh dear God.
It was in the elevator where I realized I had lost my wallet....
What a cute puppy
