Checked to see and seems like no one corrected Tom on his Neil Young trivia: Sweet Home Alabama is not about calling Young a culture vulture but about hitting him back for his two songs Southern Man (really good) and Alabama (eh) for being overly broad in its criticism of southerners instead of just racist southerners. In Ronnie Van Zant's words he "took the entire South to task for the bloody history of slavery and its aftermath. We thought Neil was shooting all the ducks in order to kill one or two" Anyway Southern Man is so good, a great reparations song. Really bad look to get uptight about it and write a Not All Southerners song, even if it's catchy as hell. Regardless, they were apparently friends (or friendly), and Young occassionally covers Sweet Home Alabama which is cute imo. Young would later call his own song Alamaba "condescending and accusatory" which is basically true. The guitar intro rips though. Sorry for the long post lol my bad

If I were in casting, I would cast Tom Sexton as the voice of Garfield.

Keri?

it would be tight if just one random year the vigilant citizen gave the super bowl halftime show a clean bill of health for sicko elite symbolism
Matt
Newest ep on main feed Gaby is definitely talking about Moscow Idaho as the crunchy liberal town taken over by a Christian nationalist church. You boys would be fascinated.

Once again, Big Sex is behind the scenes, pulling the strings

switchfoot is so slept on. how did we forget the band that sung âi pledge allegiance to a country without borders,â in the Bush era no less!
hatsune kiku
was kind of avoiding the show for awhile (sorry boys) because i was too deep in doomer mode about whats been going on with everything and thank the lord i came back for this one. all psychic damage has been healed.

This episode needed Aaron. Speaking of, where the hell is he? His Twitter is gone.

You guys singing songs and changing the lyrics is my favourite bit, please keep doing it as much as possible

As a hyper-romantic, polyamorous person on the asexual spectrum with several partners with whom I donât have sex (including my husband đ) the part about âany relationship without sex is just a friendshipâ was tragic! đ It is the number one thing folks who donât get it say to me, though. Allosexual people just canât fathom it until theyâve unpacked the compulsory allosexuality the culture pushes.

Is there a through line from the home shopping network, telethons and streaming?

loved ur drake impression tarence that's up there with bob for me
Michael
On the point of how nothing can go forward with the current party makeups, I think it would be cool if you guys checked out some organizations trying to build this. Frso.org, fightbacknews.org, National Alliance Against Racist and Police Repression, Centro Community Service Organization.
SHEEBCORE
wasn't one of the heads of Death Row Records former IDF also? Remember there being an 80s/90s equivalent to the Kendrick/Drake head being IDF
Bschiltz3
The boys' support of the most famous Degrassi alum is confounding, but we've all got at least one bad take
minty
Creed halftime wasnt a superbowl. But was best nfl halftime show.
Emily Epstein (unrelated to the bad guy)
Miss that, too
William
Hold on- listening to the beginning again; the only way out of the beef, for drake, is for Kendrick, the widely considered winner of the beef, to confess to being a pedo? Ya know how a beef works, right?
Chapo has always branded nu metal as right wing
Should fill it with Qurans. 1 more every time she adds a Christian book
Trillbilly Worker's Party
Ooooh thatâs good

Ok first off, yĂ ll are going to hell. Second, I can't believe you didn't break into Usher's hit "this is my recessionâ
Andrea Saidso
It's her damn library. She needs to set the boundaries and stick with them.

I don't steal all my talking points from the Trillbillies. Most of them are stolen from Norman Finkelstein, Liz Franczak, Matt Christman, Daniel Bessner, the Maté family, and the War Nerd. Maybe 10% come from this podcast, and that will include the "Drake is a failed groomer" angle.

"Woohoo! And the guys in Radiohead are pedophiiiiiles" is the new bit to beat for 2025 here

So happy you guys didnât take the âstop making gay parody songsâ critique to heart. We are so back
JacobSchwinn
Telethon sounds like a fun idea that I'd like to see but you never know what ideas Terrence will just throw out there at random and which they will follow through on. Very Trumpian podcast.
JacobSchwinn
Me to my friends at the bar: "this guy who is on a podcast i listen to has tuberculosis"

I have the flu, and âđ¶ Iâm a pedo, whoâs probably gonna peed again đ¶â made me laugh for the first time in days.

Not too much on kendrick now...

Itâs a perfect lil microcosm of America. The bad guys think they have the Mandate of Heaven and the âgood guysâ are holding their pencil with a fist working through Remedial Paradox of Tolerance 101 for Dummies for the fifth time.

The lady who is scared to push back at all on her psycho Christian neighbors trying to brainwash kids is sticking with me. Absolutely you should burn that shit. Do it in their driveway. Do you think those people would hesitate for a second to destroy some LBGTDEI childrenâs book? These people think youâre going to be tortured forever in a lake of fire and you deserve it. Theyâre not your fucking friends. Theyâre barely human.
Brodie Kelly (BK)
Good stuff, dudes

3 pearls of wisdom from the boys, cast before us swine: don't get cute with it. don't hem yourself in. find someone to match your freak
Bschiltz3
I thought the shapes on the field were a PlayStation advertisement or something, but I may just be an idiot
stephanie morgan
Just curious- is the 2nd trump era speak your piece too dark these days or whatâs that looking like? I have the same illness, tarence. Getting to be an observer of an uncomfortable situation like that will fuel me up for days.
Cody Woodyard
If youâre on shrooms, 10 minutes feels like an hour but i wouldnât say itâs bc itâs boring đ
Erica Ballard
Joe Dirt reference brought me so much joy
Raquelle Jac
But also to be clear I have very little friends and I havenât had a friend who Iâve loved like family in a very long time. So when I say maybe youâre not experiencing the depth of friendship that is possible, thatâs not a dig. Iâm not either rn lol. Itâs hard to find that. In my experience, itâs even harder to find that than a romantic love.
Raquelle Jac
That sort of reminds me of my sisterâs finance literally asking if she loved him more than me, her little sister. Which is absolutely ridiculous because Iâm her family, and the idea that the love could be ranked as more or less than a romantic relationship is (1) perverse (2) ridiculous because sibling love is eternal despite crazy fights and betrayals, and romantic love is more ephemeral. I can hate my sister more than anything but I will still always love her. I can hate a boyfriend or a partner more than anything and that usually in my experience very seldom accompanies love, despite all the dumb bullshit about âhate is the same as love because itâs about intensityâ lol.
Raquelle Jac
Maybe, or maybe youâre not experiencing the depth of friendship that is possible! Iâve been friends with people who I loved so deeply they felt like family. And family (while mine is flawed and abusive) is kinda something that transcends romantic relationships as far as the depth of love and the longevity of the relationship. Romantic relationships are deep and carnal but (in my experience) can be short-lived in many cases.
BookMisser
They are getting after the DOE research arm atm? The CDC, NIH, NOAA, DOE researchers. They really hate science. Itâs like believing you can avoid an STI by never getting tested. We are about to be a much itchier country:(
BookMisser
Good luck I hope people push back fast enough to avoid this hitting so many people. People still love schools (I know I canât wait until our toddlers can go).
BookMisser
That indirect funding thing is gonna hit hard. Drop me a line if you need hundreds of tumors genetically classified.
BookMisser
Unrelated but if anyone wants to hire hundreds of scientists who used to watch out for floods, carcinogens and epidemics lemme know đ
BookMisser
I was never Christian but Iâm baffled by people thinking they should control whether their partner masturbates? Is that only a Christian thing? That seems naive or kinda controlling? Doesnât seem like an okay way to relate to each other?
Corey Herrmann
Good one boys as usual. Wish I got to hear Aaronâs take on the halftime show though. It was entertaining and a social critique in a big forum, but it also struck me as a way in which the spectacle creates and maintains its own internal critique (Iâve seen it talked about as jesters privilege). The whole thing felt very Debord.
William
It wonât be MMT gone wild. But could be debt gone
William
Re halftime show: it felt like Sam Jackson was reprising his role from Afro samurai
Andrea Saidso
Finally, an example of why little free libraries are not libraries. If they were, they'd have a collection development policy and a curated collection rather than serving as a place for neighbors to feel good about discarding used books that no one wants.
sarah
7 mins in and Iâve gone through so much already
Hutson Heller
Satanic? Isn't isn't Isreal a religious ethno state commited to the God of Abraham? Isn't it nominally on His behalf that they are conducting a genocide? If anything, Lucifer was right. Humans were a bad idea, and we shoulda got another pass at minimum, if not a full rewrite.
Alex Cieslak
Yall are gonna get the hate from the people who say the gay jokes are immature đđđ
Corey Herrmann
And Kurt Cobain is a pedoo WOOHOO

WE GON BE ALT RIGHT

đ€đ«đ¶and thom yorke is a pedooođ¶đžWOOHOO

Tarence & Tom: Sex Advice Givers seems like a very natural spin-off project.
Chris Laser
Viewing a relationship as just a friendship with sex completely ignores the romance and passion that the right relationship can harbor, and is pretty never-experienced-true-love coded.
Zach H.
The piss play themed cover band of Creed called Peed is very Mad Magazine and I heartily approved.
AL
This year is about gettin' DIABOLICAL also SICK and maybe even TWISTED all while maintaining the dignity of being BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN.
Adam B
Stop liver watching lmfaoooooo
Rk Carter
Oh snap!
Andrew Dunn
Christians notoriously hate converting unbelievers
Joanna Jane
Oh it rocks ngl, have a XXXX darl x
Thomas Reimer
Ethicist seg is đ„ keep bringing it back
Funguyfan
The ethicist is fine, but is no one speaking their piece anymore?
Tradili Porkmen
Thanks. I didn't get to the point where they bring it up in the show before asking.... mybad. I kinda thought it was like an ai image or something like that guys gotta be dead by now
William
Some would say itâs a shower of gold
Robert
I believe you
Robert
âTaps headâ
Emily Richardson
Or maybe thereâs a lost episodeâŠ
Robert
They just said âfolks, we may not be in as much debt as we thought because of FRAUDâ. Poof. Debt gone. MMT gone wild.
William
It is very funny in a completely not funny way, to watch these dipshits completely upend the system that allows them to get rich and stay rich because theyâre too stupid to realize where their bread is buttered. Interesting to see what bigger fish comes for musk- I get the sense heâs gonna be living out the McCarthy experience; flying high until he starts making âefficienciesâ in the wrong place. Mightâve already done that with USAID. Time will tell
M
God dammit I paid for this shit!!
auf die Welle
Yes

I watched (part) of the super bowl on australian tv and all the ads we got were local but we still got the snoop dogg antisemitism one. very weird

Girl omg I go to work and everybody lives in 2008 except debaseder
Tradili Porkmen
Alright so is that Creed in the thumbnail?
Joanna Jane
lol itâs Queensland, we all fuck our 13 year old cousins here
Emily Epstein (unrelated to the bad guy)
Yet, Kanye made POWER.
auf die Welle
I will not abide Creed. But piss-play Creed (Peed) is gold. By the way we are heading toward a recession.
Nathan McCord
The bit with Blur singing about Thom Yorke being a pedophile had me absolutely cackling
Jesper Ohlsson
"Can I go to church if I don't believe?" No. You cannot. They will check you at the door. Much like a slug, you also cannot cross a threshold that someone who works at the church has secretly sprinkled with salt. The skin within your skin will react to it, and everyone else will be able to tell.
Shawn A
FYI the numbering for the episodes is off (last week should've been 344, this week should be 345)
Will Griffin
Current plan re: DOE is to phase it out by 2028. Title I funds, IEP enforcement, and grant funds getting stripped along the way. Very grim as a teacher in a title I district.
John Montana
Yâall really outdid yourselves on breadth of topics this week. Wide net indeed
Tradili Porkmen
Is that the guy from Creed on the thumbnail? I don't watch sports.
Jesper Ohlsson
I know it's not "cool music", and as a certified gay this kind of discourse is sorta beside the point anyway ("cool music" discourse is largely for straight dudes; you're excused - relieved, even - to like whatever you want if you like girl-music) but I always enjoyed when Foofighter's Learn To Fly came on MTV before I went to school. Foo Fighters is basically this "haha, yeah, I know we're a joke" while also being genuinely nice-sounding at times.
Jesper Ohlsson
I don't know if you know this, but if you stay drop dead gorgeous, you don't have to ever "get cute".
Austin
Kurt probably would have thought that was hilarious in all honesty.
Sweet Jacky
"It's dialectical, brother" đ. Going to shoehorn that in whenever possible in my everyday life, ty.
Weston King
I really like this podcast
William
It was pretty amazing to hear the entire Super Bowl audience say, âa minorâ. Nothing has brought together people of different races, backgrounds, and creeds, like hating drake
William
If Chris Brown isnât cancelled, no one ever will be
Jonathan carney
Jfc that foo fighters shit got me good

Fuck the Chiefs!

In support for wtyp, goooo beeerrrds

My hand to god I have it on first hand authority that Bobby Dylan came back from several European tours in the 80s with a trunk full of German porn mags.
Tom's Trips Official
I got another confession to make Something true Everyone's got their drains to snake Kurt did too And there was never a man, he wouldn't do Nirvana's frontman was gay Was gay Was gay Was gay for dudes Nirvana's frontman was gay Was gay Was gay Was gay for dudes He loved to suck and fuck till he was through
Tom's Trips Official
Oh. My God. I did not anticipate Tarence doing Kdot would be as good for me as Tarence doing Bob

Drake is spending a whole month here in Brisbane and all his shows are selling out, the anglosphere doesnât recognise cancellation
Trillbilly Worker's Party
