RE: Studio Ghibli - there's a studio in Ireland (that I work for) and we make hand-drawn movies too. Moynihan you and your daughter might enjoy the 'Oliver Cromwell werewolf movie' "Wolfwalkers" which we made for Apple TV+ and it stars Sean Bean - Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_Z_tybgPgg
Matt’s duck cooking metaphor. I’ll let it pass because his wonderful bride is French. Otherwise it’s the babbling of a madman. Which I also approve of.
My kids are now in their 20s, but reading to them was very important to me. I read all kinds of things, though never Jack London I must admit.
They each got the following (a couple of these a couple of times at their request):
All the Winnie the Pooh stories
Wind in the Willows
The Hobbit
And the books they listened to together (they are two years apart):
All the Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House Books
I loved reading all of these books for them, even as I had the privilege of reading many, many books with them. But when I have grandchildren, I expect to read these again to them if I have the chance.
But there are so many great books out there, I’m sure your kids will still keep getting you to read the right books for them.
I enjoyed the discussion of podcasts bringing together people of disparate views to facilitate fruitful discussions; the brief sidebar of Moynihan negging Lara Bazelon was an unexpected bonus.
I hope the well known religious figure who donated to Moynihan's fundraiser steps forward because at the moment the best guess I can come up with is J R Dobbs.
Also, Kmele please do not read “A Dog of Flanders” to Lia. I encountered it around 10. It was a a children’s novel. It’s a terrible sadistic wonderful book. And I cried for weeks. And I can still muster a tear thinking of the closing lines.
But all the Jack London, all the time. The ending to The Call of the Wild is kinda nuts, as you know, but I think a smart kid will understand it.
This is totally unrelated to the episode, so sorry for that.
I was on the subway yesterday and got really excited when I saw someone out of the corner of my eye wearing a mask who looked a lot like Kmele.
Then I realized: It’s pretty unlikely Kmele would be wearing a mask nowadays.
Then I realized: Kmele wouldn’t be caught dead on mass transit.
Then I realized: It’s not Kmele and I just did a racism.
So that’s the story of how I didn’t meet Kmele on the subway.
What the everloving *fuck* is happening at 3:41? Was the episode recorded on an American Airlines flight?

You all realize that this podcast is heading straight for an TFC Only Fans page, right? They are trying to ‘normalize’ this shit.
I can already hear Moynihan’s aggressive demands for money.
This is about to get dark.

Pretty sure we heard Moynihan’s initial reaction to Rachael’s buttocks @3:30
I don't know much, but I do know this: Matt Welch is one duck-cookin' sonofabitch.
Glad you enjoyed the tequila 😘
I think Fifth fans will be into Jonah Goldberg’s latest solo Remnant about fascism, the Italian election, and domestic politics on the right https://open.substack.com/pub/remnant/p/pipe-dreams
He also gives a shoutout to his interview with Nick Gillespie for Reason TV about fascism and Italy https://youtu.be/_0gvB2u98o4
Another great episode!

Please, please, please title Kmele’s forthcoming series of amicable sit downs “Rendering the Fat”

I might not be your only public library director listener or subscriber- but my professional opinion is Rufo is a moron.
Who is the famous religious leader who listens? Out yourself please.
