@AmericaWeek @walterkirn @mtaibbi Outstanding, if crushing, podcast Friday. Brilliant short story tie-in... you, gentlemen, are the best.
Imagine listening to @NPR in the past decade and not noticing the sharp decline in quality and the steep rise in distorted politics. For me, 2009 was when I abandoned their brand of news for cosmopolitan idiots. The hilarious examples in this episode are worse than I imagined.

@AmericaWeek @mtaibbi @walterkirn My request for this week is that you and Matt cover the UFC fighter who, in his (thickly accented) victory speech professed his love for America - and advised those citizens who don’t to “read Ludwig Von Mises motherfuckers”. UFC trumps NYT in understanding economic theory.
On America This Week, Matt & Walter discuss the RFK Jr interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett. Kennedy does his best to attempt to discuss the issues he’s running on, but she’s only interested in setting up gotcha questions. The interview is exhausting & the feeling you’ve lost 30 IQ…

@AmericaWeek @walterkirn @mtaibbi @mrmooremedia Hilarious deep state comparison. Another great episode. Listening to your episode I remember having randomly seen The Swimmer on late night TV many many years ago. Having not placed it in the category of literature or absurdism... it made little to no sense to me at all.
@AmericaWeek @walterkirn @mtaibbi @mrmooremedia 🤣 Love Matt's career track in this one from innocent NASA astronaut to space marine!
@SteveMcD195 @AmericaWeek @mtaibbi @walterkirn @mrmooremedia I spilled my coffee. Not as dangerous as you, but had to get a new keyboard.
@AmericaWeek @walterkirn @mtaibbi @mrmooremedia Man I was laughing the whole time thanks for some comedy this weekend you guys were awesome!
@AmericaWeek @mtaibbi @walterkirn @mrmooremedia Heard this last Friday while strength training in my garage. Nearly dropped 175 lbs. on my face when you got to this segment. There should be a health warning preceding your podcasts.
@AmericaWeek @mtaibbi @walterkirn @mrmooremedia Love these so much! BTW, with all this talk about Tik-Tok, my mind drifts to how interesting it would be to hear you both analyze "'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman" by Ellison someday. Pretty weird story format, but I enjoyed it. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Repent…
@AmericaWeek @walterkirn @mtaibbi @mrmooremedia Always great. Loved the closer. It is rare today to find anyone hip to the absurdist nature of our times. It is like our whole present day landscape is written by Thomas Pynchon or Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Yet the players seem to have no idea of their own character. You bring it home.
~ Brilliant distillation of the most erudite, insightful, & fun podcast ever! ~

@AmericaWeek this week’s podcast, IMO, is so important that it should be made general available.
Bitcoin as an index measuring lack of faith in the system, as @walterkirn posits here, is a decent heuristic. But the thing to really be worried about is not having enough to soften the landing. Subscribe to @AmericaWeek and support actual journalism.
