    Love him on the pod, but his "cushvlogs" or whatever are just garbage. The man needs an editor.

    Sorry, not sorry.

      As is the nature of stream-of-thought streams. He makes some salient points in them, but they are pretty spread out. I like the interactions with chat that the format enables, though.

      I can't listen to them while folding laundry or anything though, they're too disjointed. I listen to them on Spotify in the same way that I listen to the E1 Joe Biden episode.

        salient points? matt's "stream of consciousness" conflates the molotov ribbentrop pact with an ALLIANCE so excuse me if i find little value in them

          you know, I was inclined to defend the guy until I heard him and Felix blithely miss the point of the last 3 seasons of the wire

          is this a random screwup or a symptom of more wrongness on matt's part? (felix less likely to say useful things IME) also who do you like better for commentary in this vein?

            they are first and foremost guys who like to talk to each other about things chapo doesn't seem to care about the form or function of what they discuss, they want to create an entertaining conversation, and leave the fact checking to the "hogs"
