He was more inebriated than the Ben Dreyfuss episode.

Definitely got some "Ben Wyatt meets the media" scattered energy from those clips.

I have no idea what these show notes are saying, and I don't think whoever wrote them does either.

I see what you did there.

I think Moynihan is still drunk from last night

Moynihan has a baseline BAC of .12, hopefully Matt didn’t try to go toe to toe with our favorite Irishman

That makes me think of that wonderful film Another Round: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40X5EX6Us7c

Amidst all the focus on Biden, everyone seems to have missed the biggest whiff of the night. When Trump was accused of sleeping with a porn star, he should have replied:

β€œSounds like what someone who hasn’t slept with a porn star would say.”

On the plus side, we did get to hear the immortal line, "First off, I didn't have sex with a porn star."

I know this is overdone by now, but imagine telling someone in the days of Gush v Bore that in a quarter of a century that line would be uttered in a presidential debate.

We are so much further along the Idiocracy timeline than anyone imagined possible.

Ok. I'll say it. Shitfaced Matt is kind of adorable. I would let him hang around for an hour after closing while I broke down the bar.

I don’t know. Did you see those pictures Matt posted of himself in fire hose #97. He kinda looked like Gary Busey’s son, Jack, whom I had the pleasure of getting shitfaced with once. He’s almost as nutty as his dad.

Bro we grew up on Gary Busey you’re only selling it more

Very disappointed a fifth column host would get drunk for a recording. Cancelling my subscription.

I am victimized by Heather Cox Richardson posts (via friends)on Facebook constantly. I don’t know how or why she mesmerizes people the way she does.

Expand full comment

Totally bizarre phenomenon. I think the responses to thar Biden one are telling. One highly rated comment was something like "I've been waiting for you to write this and say it's all ok"

I think she provides something like a nice cocoon or even womb for people who get too emotional about politics with her writing.

Same! The gaslighting/stutter BS!!!!!

The comments are the post are even worse than the post itself!
