Listen now (98 mins) | 36 year-old grandmother vapes, feels up Democrat Shanah Tova! Russell Brand, who Moynihan wrote about in 2014, is accused of rape They are coming after the truth tellers, maaaaaannnnnn Revisiting Hunter’s indictment Breaking: Biden is confused and sleepy
Pony soldier is a Tyrone Powell movie from 1952 not a John Wayne movie in which members of the Royal Canadian police (mounties) are called pony soldiers. The actual line spoken in the movie is, "The pony soldier speaks with a tongue of the snake that rattles",
There is a spoken line, a voice-over, in the John Wayne movie She Wore A Yellow Ribbon (1949) that uses the term "dog-faced soldiers". He probably confused the two since he is 800 years old and crazy as a loon.
The information in this post was partially plagiarized in honor of the Big Guy himself.
Throat clear - never watched a single Russel Brand movie, never read a thing he wrote, watched maybe 10 mins of a couple YouTube videos. I am generally repulsed by dumb, vulgar, narassistic assholes, who brag about having a Wilt Chamberlain level body count. Smart, narassistic assholes at least get NDA's.
The allegations about Brand are well researched and run the gambit from "controlling boy-friend" to "rapist". The former is a Yelp review the latter is an uncharged crime.
Regardless of a highly respected journalist swearing to MM the stories are100% true, there have been no criminal charges against Brand and NO due process.
If being a repugnant, dumb, mentally unstable, sex-seeking public person, was illegal there would be no entertainment, professional sports, literature, or music (except from Tata and Bey).
The allegations against Brand are horrific. But ALL allegations of sexual misconduct/assault require examination in an objective criminal court process before they can be accepted as true. It is not sufficient to merely make the allegations in the media. Perhaps we will see criminal charges, perhaps we will see due process take place, but until then one cannot say with any certainty that Brand has committed any sexual crimes.
I streamed the podcast through my hearing aids, which most people don't notice on me. I don't recall what my paid subscription level cost is, but it was worth every penny for forcing me to literally face a display of old, discounted baked goods in the far corner of a small grocery store, laughing so hard I'm crying.
IDK if Brand is guilty but I believe in due process so it’s up to the accusers to prove it. I dislike this thing on social media where VERY SMART PEOPLE decide they are judge, jury and executioner based on some news stories. Maybe it’s all true, but I’m skeptical of any news org based on the last 5-6 years
I think the reason people with extreme left or right beliefs easily shift sides is that if you’re moored to bullshit it doesn’t take much to sink your faith. I imagine it’s exhausting trying to stuff reality into conspiracy. You get tired, you go to the other side and try to find some new contortion of your biases that feels good. It’s like a getting too much tolerance to a drug and needing a new high. I’ve heard
In a tidal wave of hot takes on the Russell Brand story, here is former Fifth guest Brendan O'Neill making the only point (albeit an obvious one) worth making at this stage...
I see that Kmele is back in Marin County. I don't know if Kmele ever reads these boards, but I could go on at length about Marin, having grown up around Mill Valley and Sausalito (though I'm now an Oaklander - Marin was too just expensive once I let go of my house there). If Kmele ever wants any local tips or backstory about Marin history and culture, it's a subject I know back and forth.
I was just there today, as a matter of fact. Went shopping at the Marin Farmer's Market, which is truly one of the best in the Bay Area. Then had lunch at Sol Food, Marin-style Puerto Rican food, basically, and is actually pretty fantastic. Then a chill afternoon in San Anselmo where I watched a bit of summertime Shakespeare in the park in some perfect weather. It's a very nice place, all in all, especially if you have money enough that the cost of living there isn't too punishing.
Marin had its 15 minutes of fame in the larger American culture in the late 70s as the symbol of all things new-agey and hedonic. Cyra McFadden's book "The Serial" captures that era well. (It was also made into a really bad Martin Mull film.) There's also the notoriously sensationalist documentary "I Want It All Now" about Marin which is worth watching for 70s kitsch value, if nothing else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFpMoEttjvA
As much as I pretended GW was hitler when I was 22 years old, I don’t actually think he was racist now. I think he honestly likes Latinos and African Americans. He’s basically a golden retriever. And I always appreciated his non-aggressive words towards American Muslims after 9/11.
What if trump was president during a similar tragedy of outside force? I don’t trust him to be a golden retriever. So I’ll vote for Biden’s puppeted corpse again. And feel okay

How come Matt seems to be the only one who reads and "likes" comments?

Well I didn’t make it to church today but this was some A+ Sunday morning content. Plus I do tithe to you guys, so it’s kinda the same thing.

Moynihan, I’m much better looking than Boebertjuice.
I’m ten minutes into this podcast and it’s wonderfully off the rails... 😂.
You guys are absolutely out of control and I love it. Thanks for getting me through cooking dinner.
Also, I had a barely 40 year old Grandma, I didn’t realize they could come any younger, dang.
So Lauren Boebert CAN multi-task...
Diane Rehm and RFK Jr. Holy shit.

Very funny episode. I will never see Biden walk off the stage again without hearing the Benny Hill music thanks to Moynihan.
