Recorded on Sunday afternoon, this now-vintage episode was consider lost forever, after a certain Fifth Columnist discovered that he still doesn’t understand how computers, cameras, and microphones work. Well….lost until we (i.e. Moynihan) found a weird backup copy of the episode on the Twitch servers! So…a few days late, of variable quality, and now available for download:
Moynihan's transition from the intro "Welch the sub-Luddite" to "I need newsprint to see the article, not broken Tweet threads" is amusing (both of these are valid complaints, btw)
Thanks for salvaging the episode, Michael. It has kind of a lo-fi quality with the ice clinks here and there. This sounds like a joke, but can we keep the ice sound effects? I'm into it.
There's *another* Michael Jackson show on in London. My friend was dragged to see it by his wife and sent me a text during the interval that just said "I'm watching a musical about a paedophile."
Did you guys realize that you didn't actually alert people to the start of this on the substack? I guess Kmele posted it on his personal substack instead?
When I heard the Palestinian Christian Bear line I immediately laughed and nodded along, bc I am one hairy SOB. Then I realized it was a joke in context of the Bearstein bears convo.
Excluding the very harsh individual throttling of various people.
To anyone with half a brain, isn’t it obvious that the twitter algorithm changing is a key aspect of social media? In the YouTube world this is something YouTubers talk about non-stop, all the time. Of course some of the algorithm change is intentionally done, but sometimes isn’t it just changing bc that’s what it is designed to do?
On the topic of things taken off or being left on streaming, I’m not sure if you guys saw or know about this, but I was wondering what you thought of a specific song (Rock n Roll Ni***r) from Patti Smith’s album Easter (1978) was removed from all major streaming services a month or so ago.
Man, I was experiencing withdrawal symptoms...

the audio on this episode is stochastic terrorism
Get. In. My. Veins.
Never fly coach. Never trust Matt with podcast recordings.
Hey Moynihan- check the scoreboard
Maddow appearances:
Welch: 1
Moynihan: 0
Mattie over here pitching a shutout.
Just found the Easter Egg after many days because Substack knows what I like and thoughtfully saves it for me.
Fucking great episode.

MM for the win!
What else does MM have to do, really? It's good of his co-hosts go give him something to keep him busy.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog, MM. That really sucks. Condolences.
