Episode 161 - Gladiator Boy (11/25/17)
Added 2017-11-27 04:30:22 +0000 UTC
Amber, Matt and Will are back from the holiday to talk about a shitty NYT profile of Boy Gladiator Ben Shapiro and a piece in Politico about the politics of Turkey day by pro-Trump college professor and anti-cursing advocate Mark Bauerlein.
Jesus are you saying Amber?

Oddly, the site is down right this second, but Nathan Robinson's polemic against Shapiro is as deft, logical, and "eviscerating" as Shapiro wishes he was in his wildest, 5'1" dreams....

Armond is too transparently a troll to be worth taking down. "David Fincher's petty nihilism is no match for the joie de vivre that is 'Norbit'"! -every Armond review. Rex Reed is so much worse.

I can't remember, but Amber has/ had a pod with Sam Kriss called Whale Vomit, it's a similar balance... I highly recommend it

Totally. I was just in my hometown, suburban San Diego, and the kids there who like Gav-Milo DO care who's "cool." Hillary is lame, they like Milo because he mocks woke-speak and other things they find annoying. But they aren't bigots either, just kinda dumb, So Cal stoners are all about "chill,"

2 out of 2 pop-punk San Diego little brothers who voted Trump think Ben is a douche but loved Cum Town. Gav-Milo mock Fearless Girl and woke-speak, that's the appeal.
So, I agree with Amber, at least when it comes to the segment I know: the mid-millennial So Cal stoner. They find Hillary-crats lame and pretentious and Gav-Milo was the only irreverent alternative on their radar, they don't know there's a left critique of liberalism. There's zero overlap with proud-virgin conservatism, Baby Ben is so not chill.

quick: if a child with progeria identifies as a 7 year old, but we see them as a 60 year old... do we split the difference??

You guys should do a take down of Armond White. It would take some deep cuts but you guys have it in you.

My parents are both Midwest middle-class liberal arts university professors. They and most of their colleagues voted Trump. That Politico author wants to feel unique where he isn't, and east coast publishers are indulging him.

They mentioned the subject briefly in the President Wario episode and Matt's conclusion was that their videos are too excruciating to sit through. It was a while ago though so I don't know if they've changed their minds since then.
