Hiroo cameras us
Taco salads us
Oh,
everybody and welcome
to bad
Hasbara
The world's most moral
podcast
That's true
Right
My name is Matt Lebe
I will be your most moral
co-host for this podcast
I'm Daniel Mate
One of your other co-hosts today
That's right
And me, producer Adam Levin
in the third chair. That's right. He's here in the third chair. It is a very special day because
not only is this going to be the greatest episode of badass bar you have ever heard slash listen to.
It is also our 200th episode of this. Holy shit. Slop. I am, uh, I'm so happy. So all three of us
are here to celebrate with you, dear loyal viewers.
We are happy and sorry in equal measure.
That's right.
Yeah, it's awful to have had to have made so many,
but there's nobody I'd rather feel awful with.
That's right, absolutely.
There it is.
I mean, that's very sweet.
It's a sweet way of looking at it.
Yeah, it sucks that this podcast still exists.
So apologies for still existing.
But you know what?
We have the right to exist.
And I've come around on that reasoning, you know?
It kind of works for everything.
I have the right to do pretty much anything that I want to do.
That's how rights work.
No matter what I do, I'm just existing, you know?
Exactly, exactly.
Everything I do is just an expression of being.
I'm not a human doing, no human being.
Yeah, it's called self-determination.
Every single thing I determined to do for myself is something I have self-determined to do,
and I have the right to do that under international law, I think.
Yeah, and if you say otherwise, you're an anti-Semite.
You're going to jail.
You're going to jail for hating Jews.
First you're going to be deported to Germany and then you're going to jail.
That's right.
First they came for the Matt Lee haters and I said nothing.

Today's episode is brought to you by GazaDirect.
GazaDirect.com features a rotating list of fundraising campaigns for Palestinians
in Gaza, collected from across various crowdfunding sites and gathered in one place to help
highlight campaigns in need of attention and help the donors find efforts to support.
You might be a donor.
You might be someone out there who's got like, I have some extra money.
I already subscribed to Baddha's Barra on Patreon.
And I have this extra $5 that I would like to spend.
Well, go to GazaDirect.com.
find something to spend it on because there are tons of campaigns out there. The genocide is
ongoing. Apartheid is ongoing. Occupation is ongoing. Nothing has changed materially and people in
Palestine need your help more now, more so than ever. So please go to gazaadirect.com. Use your money wisely.
And lest you think that you as a Baddisbara listener make no difference, a week ago on this very
program we asked you to go to the website calling for the release of Ahmed Shihab.
That's right.
Yeah, Eldine, yeah.
Yeah, and within Eldon, Eldon, Eldin ring.
Yeah, Alden ring.
And within a couple of days, within minutes, maybe.
He was released.
He was released.
You did it, folks.
That's right.
That's right.
I mean, I'd like to, you know, take some.
He was acquitted at least.
He was acquitted.
Yes.
He was acquitted.
And he was released from Kuwaiti detention. So we're all incredibly happy about that. Hopefully we get to hear from him soon and ask about that experience because that is insane. But yes, see, sometimes the work that you do trying to, you know, I don't know, fill out a petition or writing to your congressperson or all of this stuff. Sometimes it does help. So don't feel completely.
powerless. You do have some power and at the very least you have some money that could go to good
use. That's what I say. It's episode 200 baby, which means we are doing our, it's not our 200th,
but I'm just going to say, sure, why not? It's our 200th spin. Daniel, what's our spin?
Well, boys, I come bearing gifts for both of you, my dear comrades and co-conspirators.
First, Adam, this arrived recently, and I thought you would approve Desmond Decker and the A's music like dirt.
What can you tell me about this album and this group?
I don't know that specific album, but Desmond Decker is one of the originators of ska music.
Just incredible music made at a time when you had to actually be able to play live,
when there was not, you know, pro tools and auto tune and beat detective and all of that stuff.
There's anything wrong with any of those tools used for music magic.
Sure, of course not.
Especially parody music magic.
Especially parody music magic.
Especially prestige TV rewatch music.
Yeah, in fact.
Well, that genre is sacrosanct, obviously.
Let's just say that that's a really important genre.
But, you know, it's just, it's wonderful to hear music that was very.
made in the room that you can kind of feel the soul and the energy of.
Yeah, absolutely. And that was back before Skah really sped up, right? Like early
Sky is not the sort of breakneck stuff I associate with like the boss tones and the specials.
Yeah, you don't get faster until you get into the two-tone movement in England in the 70s.
Exactly. We'll get to England in a moment. But here's a second Sky record for you. Not pure Skaw,
This is Fishbone back when they were still pretty heavily in Scott.
This is in your face.
Really great album.
Look at them.
Is that the record they just reissued this year?
They just did a big reissue.
They might have reissued this one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not my favorite by them.
Truth and Soul probably is, but this is more pure, you know, SoCal punk.
Or sorry, punk, punk, uh, punk, uh, punk, uh, skunk.
Skunk, exactly, exactly.
And then Matt, for you, for you, for me, well, look.
we all love your English accent.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's given us so much pleasure over the 200 episodes.
And one of the sad things about a lot of British musicians
is they conceal their British accent.
You know, starting with the Beatles, at least in their early stuff.
They were trying to sound American.
Later on, they let themselves get more, you know, tea and crumpets or cockney or whatever.
But I picked a few records by groups that really,
really showcase the Brit in them.
Okay, okay.
Especially the Brit pop of the 90s.
So we got Blur Park Life.
Of course. Yes, very good.
Very good.
Damon Almer.
Grace like a jungle.
Yeah.
It's a cold of parties.
So it's a really fun album.
Yeah.
Have you ever seen a young,
Damon Alburn before?
I've seen pictures of blur from, yeah, in the early days.
When he was young, he was so hot.
Was he?
Wild.
He's like a supermodel hot.
I'd never seen such a hot man before.
In fact, I think he used to get a lot of shit for it.
They do that to you in England.
If you're too good looking, you're an enemy of the queen.
You're the hottest person on the island, yeah?
Yeah, let's everyone point your life in the beautiful man.
What's with the full mouth of straight teeth?
Yeah, how go you got shock teeth?
I've got soft.
Tooth tea for eating all me puddings.
Just a nation of chimney sweeps and scholarly made.
That's what it is.
Well, speaking of class awareness, we got pulp, different class.
Oh, okay.
With the song Common People, sort of epic funny story song.
This is great album.
Do you know this album, Adam?
No, I don't know anything about this.
Yeah, yeah.
There's a great William Shatner cover of it, too.
Is there?
Yes.
Is he talk singing?
Yeah, that's what he does.
This is literally the most English album cover I've ever seen in my life.
The cheerful insanity of Giles, Giles, and Fripp.
Look at these guys.
Bread pie, ass-looking guys.
That's amazing.
Cheaputty.
Yes.
Now, I believe this is Robert Fripp, who went on to form King Crimson.
Oh, really?
And also produced albums by the Roches and others.
I love that.
Yeah, so that's crazy.
And then finally...
21st century schizoid man.
Exactly.
Those guys are cool.
And then, Matt, since you're such a grime fan,
I do like crime.
Grime and drill, here's a pioneer of the form
who has a wonderful, very pronounced British accent
when he wraps.
Dizzy Roscoe in it?
Dizzy Rouskel, boy in the corner.
Rasky.
Yeah, that's great.
Have you guys ever seen Top Boy?
I have not seen Top Boy.
Top Boy is great.
It'll like really,
it's like the soundtrack is almost entirely grime
Top Boy is a Netflix or like BBC
now on Netflix like a series that's
it's like the wire but British
and yeah it's introduced me to a
a world of UK crime that I'm like
oh this is all I want
UK Grime
Yeah
I love the news guy grime
Yeah that's awesome
That's the same folks
That's what we're spinning.
I love that you understand my love of British people speaking and singing Britishly.
I thought the Arctic monkeys also do a lot of great being British out loud.
Could have chosen them easily, yeah.
No, they're good too.
That's all I'm saying.
You know, since we have producer Adam here as well, we're going to do it.
It's the 200th episode of What's the Spoon?
Hey, we did 200 of them.
That's right.
Why not?
So here's something I made last night.
This is a vegan black bean smash taco with guacamole and cilantro lime, vegan sour cream.
Oh, yeah.
The bean patty is from an Instagram creator called The Burger Dude with two E's.
It's got this incredible flavor and you can make it in a blender so it's super easy to do at home.
It's a new house favorite here.
And it makes a great base for a breakfast taco too.
Um, house, the house loves bass, you know what I mean?
Yes, the house loves bass.
You know what I mean?
House music.
That looks incredible.
I made a scallop taco the other day that I was very happy with.
Just I, I had cooked some scallops and fried them up for a leftover taco.
But man, you make fucking vegan food look really appealing.
Yeah, you do.
Oh, thanks, man.
Yeah, you make it look like real food.
Like food?
Yeah.
I love that.
Yeah.
Not that vegan food isn't real food.
Don't everyone yell at me at once.
I often like vegan food, but I find vegan restaurants sometimes overly precious with it.
And I just don't always, especially when they're doing like meat replacements, like chicken.
I'm just like, just call it Satan.
You know, just call it, call it, call it, tell it, tell it, tell it, tell it what it is.
I love you.
You say it the way, the way Werner Herzog says chicken.
But that's how they spell it.
That's how they talk about.
C-H-I-K-A-K-A-Postrophy in, chicken.
I looked into the eyes of the chicken.
And the chicken has no soul.
Those kinds of like Berg-A-Postrophe R or whatever.
Those are usually the most sciencey creations.
And you don't want to know what's happening.
It's an abomination.
Yeah, it's devil.
Implausible burger.
Yeah, yeah.
Plausible burger.
Exactly, exactly.
But I really like this creator, the burger dude, because he does a lot of like,
if you want kind of a trashy vegan meal, let me hook you up.
And I like to throw in new recipes here and there just to keep it interesting.
And this is kind of the reminder to keep recharging whatever it is that gets you through difficult times.
Don't stagnate if you can help it because you've got to keep that energy going and be creative or build or right or whatever the thing
is that keeps you going in these absolute ghoulish times, you know, keep re-energizing it or,
you know, it'll start to get boring.
I mean, and let's say this, listening to podcasts does not count.
However, doing an activity that you can do while you listen to this podcast, that's a bonus points.
That's right.
Joining the Patreon, though, does count.
That counts.
That counts.
That's immediately.
Sure.
But, yeah, no, absolutely.
I think, look, if we can get everyone who listens to this podcast to do something creative and helpful for their psyche, helpful for their body, their mind, their soul, while simultaneously also listening to the podcast and giving us five stars a review on all the apps, well, then I think we've done our job.
You know, I think we've done our job.
Shout out Lizzie Svetsky.
What do you got to say about it?
Thank you.
Thank you to Lizzie out there.
Okay, fellas.
It is our 200th episode,
which means it's just the three of us this week.
Too bad nothing happened this week.
Yeah, too bad.
Just slow news week, I guess.
I guess everyone was making way for the fact
that it was our 200th episode.
No, actually, we unfortunately
have been sharing this grand anniversary,
date with an entity that we are not fans of famously.
It has also been 78 years of official occupation in Palestine.
It is Israel's Independence Day that just happened.
Leave it to Israel to have a 78th anniversary upstage at 200th.
I know, I know.
Leave it to Israel is one of my least favorite sitcoms.
Yeah, I don't hate leave it to Israel.
Beaver is always
He's always taking over
all of his parents' rooms.
Leave it to Beebe.
Yeah, leave it to Beebe.
But yeah, it is
like last week was filled
with the Twitter feed
of Israel and it's various
like paid, you know,
shills all trying to celebrate
78 years like it's something
we all wanted.
Yeah.
It's been amazing seeing
who
is going to celebrate it?
Well, the 78th anniversary
is historically the rubble anniversary.
That's right.
Very good.
Very good.
That joke was everything I could have hoped for.
Yeah.
San Francisco celebrated it by lighting up their city hall in this way.
And Israel in San Francisco, which is the name of an account, I guess, wrote
In honor of Israel's Independence Day, San Francisco City Hall was lit and blue and white.
Thank you, S.F. City Hall.
I have to say, there's nothing more ominous than when Israel decides to plaster its flag over your sovereign city hall.
You know what I mean?
Nothing more ominous and more, what can I say, vindicatory for the sort of right-wing commentators we're not supposed to listen to.
I know, right?
just like, yeah, absolutely do things like take over entire government buildings, no matter how small
or big or wherever they are in the country, and let people know, yes, we also are allowed to do this
to you. I was very disappointed in Toronto because the CN Tower lights itself up for every disease
known to man. IBS week and then IBS Awareness Week two separate times. I think Perry Winkle was the thing.
Tourette's Syndrome Awareness Week, and I was disappointed they didn't install loudspeakers
on the tower for that one.
It just says, fuck.
But what happened to Zionism Awareness Week?
What happened to Zionism Awareness Week?
You know, like someone you know is probably afflicted with this terrible mental disorder.
That's a very good point.
It's a very good point.
I feel like that's exactly what San Francisco is doing.
They're going, it's Zionism Awareness Week.
Time to let you know about this horrible condition that.
we are just riddled with here in the United States.
This forgiveness of ethnic cleansing.
We're yiddled and riddled and yiddled.
Whittled?
Um, uh, did you say yiddled?
Yiddled?
That sounds to me like,
there's no anti-semitters in the United States.
All right, new game.
We're going to use every single bumper on this episode.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like we've, it's 200.
episodes and just over the the these 200 episodes we have so many bumpers that have just never
gotten used i'm just going to find moments it's also going to make editing hell and i'm sorry
but uh hey you know it is what it is right uh yeah sure that's what i think the guy who has to edit
it yes yeah it is it is what it is real that's right uh here's how they celebrated
in New York. So New York also, of course, is celebrating the wonderful, wonderful birthday
of the state of Israel. And they celebrated in Times Square with some billboards. And if you read the
you know, the tweet, it says, from Israel to Times Square celebrating 78 years of freedom.
Love that. Love talking about free. It really looks like a sort of a scene from a dystopian horror
movie. A hundred percent. Where a, you know, some sort of authoritarian government has,
has seized control of New York. Dude, it's like the opening of Half-Life, too.
Let me tell you something. If we were going to do a what's the spool or what's the real,
I guess, about a movie, I would talk about this Israeli film I recently saw called Ken,
which means yes. Right. Nadav Lapid. And he is depicting a full-on national nervous breakdown.
It's the most incredibly bonkers movie I've ever seen.
And there may be things to critique about it from our point of view,
but it's also a shockingly obscene, vulgar look at the obscenity
and vulgarity of that culture and that country and the complete insanity.
And some of the craziest moments in it, I mean, there's all kinds of strange, bizarre,
absurdist moments, but some of the most chilling,
ones are when he shoots scenes of the main character who's going through this kind of
breakdown just moving through Israeli society and one of them is him
biking in Tel Aviv with and actually this is not you know this is completely they just shot
what's there just massive video billboards of the flag over you know over highway overpasses
and you know in the city like yeah and you just really feel like you are in a dystopian thing and
then you realize oh yeah this was not a set up special effect or some kind of special shot all he
had to do was go out and shoot the movie in the middle of the country right as it is right yeah and
you know it's whenever you see shit like this uh whether it's in new york city or san francisco um
There is always that like creeping feeling because it's, you know, I remember post 9-11.
We did this with American flags.
They're fucking everywhere.
Everyone was doing, you know, whoever had the biggest flag, it was just like always posted
it out every household.
It was, it was crazy to watch.
Seeing it with an Israeli flag is even weirder.
And the reason it's even weirder is because, I mean, say what you will about a
America. At least it's in America where the flag is happening. Just this insistence on making
you know, every building having an Israeli flag, every government building. It's just like all
of it is it's weird for us. It's weird to watch. And I, yeah, I haven't seen that movie,
but it sounds like it's a lot of fun actually. It's worth seeing. I'd love for both of you to see it
so we can talk about it. I am for sure. Well,
Well, here is this, you know, this Times Square celebration here.
And I noticed something while I was watching this.
And I zoom in on the video, which I didn't know this.
Is Death Becomes Her?
Is that a musical?
Oh, yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
That's real?
It's real.
Because I love, I love Death Becomes Her.
It's one of my favorite movies, like top 10 favorite movies.
All time or Bruce Willis performance?
Bruce Willis is so, like, I didn't even know for years.
When I was a kid, I used to watch it over and over.
I didn't know that was Bruce Willis.
That's how good he was.
He's like total chameleon.
Is the musical any good?
Have you seen it?
I hear it's not so good.
Oh, well.
I think it's very, it's extremely campy, self-consciously.
So it's sort of, it's pandering to a certain, a certain audience.
I'd probably love it.
You might.
You might.
I haven't heard of great things.
But I heard there's some good comic performances.
That's good.
So, you know, there's, you saw that, New York.
You saw that in San Francisco.
Israel Twitter account was really doing their best to try to get everyone in the mood to celebrate.
They were doing this through like memes for the most part.
Here's one of the memes.
78 years strong.
And it's showing a jet, you know, with this, you know, chem trails.
making a seven
and then a tank
making half of the eight
and the other half of the eight
is made by a battleship
I kind of love the
the image
the like unselfconscious image
of a tank carving something
into the earth
as if that doesn't bring up any
other versions of them
carving things into the ground
with the tranks of the
what do you call it of a tread
the treads of a tank
yeah
Yeah. And they, I'm surprised they didn't use, you know, a knife or a coat hanger into a scalp.
Right, exactly. The third, yeah, it should have been, instead of a battleship, it should have been a boot because that is one thing that they did was use a boot one time to kick a star of David into a prisoner's head.
This is a few years back.
Cool country.
Yeah, very cool.
Got to love them.
They also, of course, used this meme.
It's, look, it's the anchor man.
Over 3,000 years old and 78 years young.
Today is my birthday.
It's kind of a big deal.
How does that math work?
3,000 years old?
Well, it's like...
And 78 years young.
Yeah, well, it's like dog years.
It's Israel year.
sinus dog ears
that's great
yeah yeah it is
you know great job
great job with the memes
I'm sure everyone loved
thinking about Anchorman
but this
one of the strangest videos they put out
and I don't know if you guys have seen this yet
this might be a premiere for you too
but they put out a
an AI video
celebrating 78 years young
and this is
is, well, here it is.
Hold on. You got to do the bumper. Hold on a second.
Oh, that's true. I guess because there's AI.
Hey, it's AI. Come on.
That's right. That's right. You make a good point. Here it is.
Guys, it's, um, Yusrael A.I.
Picture of a lion with an Israeli flag.
And a picture of Hamas is an octopus.
or above
I am Israel
I'm Israel right
I'm Israel high
I'm Israel
Eai Israel Aai
Israel
They're not
Yeah
It's
These bumpers still
I watch them
And they make me smile
They're still great
I say yeah
I'm glad
I every time I'm like
Are people
They gotta be bored of it by now
Maybe they're not
Maybe they're not
They liked it at the live show
They did
They did
That's true
All right, here is Israel's happy birthday video to itself.
Israel, 78 years of sovereignty, a small country, a growing population, an enormous heart,
a place where people leave behind family and career to protect something bigger than themselves.
The engathering of exiles. Jews returning from dozens of cultures.
Is in gathering a word you hear a lot?
No, it's absolutely one of the core words.
in the Zionist, like, the in-gathering of the exiles.
Oh, interesting.
What do you, I guess, what's outgathering?
I feel like whatever the Palestinians are experiencing, it would be called outgathering.
That's right.
The outgathering of the refugees.
That's right.
But, you know, they're positing here that the Jews of Yemen are returning to where they originated,
and the Jews of Somalia are returning to where they initiated.
And the Jews of Azerbaijan and Siberia are returning.
and China and, oh, recently, some Jews from some province of India,
who converted in the 50s after some, they were Christian,
and some guru said that he had had a vision announcing that he was Hebrew.
Anyway, these people are the exiles that are being in-gathered.
I mean, you know, look, look.
The inbreeding of the exiles.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like, we had to ship Jews from all over the world,
to just make sure that our genetics didn't get totally fucked.
Cultures and corners of the world,
joining a presence that never truly left.
Together, forming one of the most diverse societies today,
different voices.
I love forming one of the most diverse society.
We love diversity,
as long as you are very specifically a Jew,
and as long as your Judaism is very specifically tied
to our, you know, nationalized.
idea of what Judaism is, because that is sort of the whole point of the state.
Israel is like some Star Trek planet where like a group of settlers, like Ashkenazi,
you know, the Ashkenazians of Ashkenaz Five, we're facing this terrible illness called Tasex.
And they were like, we need to force other people who are, you know, tangentially related to us to
come and breed with us so that we don't die off and then they mistreat them but then they you know
right but they breathe with them yeah you know yeah yeah yeah card and the enterprise have a more
we are using you for breathing yes our people are dying you have to understand this is them
explaining themselves to the intergalactic criminal court well you will be assimilated that's right
yeah one home in the face of constant challenges Israel continues to create
build and innovate.
Israel, 78, resilient,
alive, impossible to ignore.
What?
Impossible to ignore.
Is that how they ended?
That's how they ended.
Disregard us at your peril, Captain Kirk.
Creative, alive.
Never going away.
Never going away.
Annoying.
Poking at you.
Pording at you.
Making sure you never forget.
We're here.
Um, hello.
Israel, creative, resilient, all up in that ass.
Just impossible to ignore, which is like, yeah, I mean, you certainly have made it impossible to ignore.
I absolutely agree with you there.
I just don't know if it's in the way you want it to be.
They are impossible to ignore.
You can't fucking go, you know, you can't walk down near your city hall without the fucking
At this point, we have to assume it is exactly the way they want it to be.
Yes, yes.
Impossible to ignore.
You know, like a three-year-old in the back of your car going,
Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, you know, like that.
There was right.
Right over that homeless person.
Yeah, that's right.
Do it.
Dad, are you anti-Semitic?
Do it.
Anyways, so there's another one, too.
Adam, you found this video of,
Rabbi Shmoli.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, Bodhiach, or little Boatich, has lost his preach.
Can you tell us about this way?
Where did you find?
Was this on his Twitter feed?
Yeah, this was on his Twitter feed.
It's him.
This is the second part of a two-part rundown of the celebration in, I think, T-neck, New Jersey for the 78th anniversary.
Beautiful.
And when you see how.
little he has to say in this video, you wonder how it made it to two parts.
Yeah.
But let's just start it up and we can run through some high points.
All right.
Israel, 78th birthday, you forever be young, part two.
But just look at this.
I'm sorry.
Forever be young, Israel.
I don't think you mean that in the way.
May I never be prosecuted for your youth, Israel.
You know, who else is forever young?
Kirk Cobain, Amy Winehouse.
A lot of people can not be, or can be forever young.
Even when 5,000 Jews gather in Teaneck, New Jersey, near our home,
look how much police.
This is what Jews need today in this, why?
Here, pause for a second.
This is what Jews need.
No, this is the level of Jewish privilege in this,
country where you can say, I feel threatened and you can have, you know, half a dozen different
agencies show up with, you know, full riot protection for you. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. You're, you can
call up your local police department, say like, hey, we're having a gathering. Bring all of the men
with guns that you can to keep us safe, please. Nothing makes us feel more safe than the, you know,
than the police in America,
cuck.
Yeah, and, you know, we're just,
we're such small beings.
We need so much help,
but also this is our show of force.
Like, don't fuck with us.
Meanwhile, look at us.
Celebrating 200 episodes,
not a cop-insight.
You know?
I thought you said show-off force.
This is our show-of-force.
This is our show-of-force.
Wow.
All right, let's keep going.
Smiling, because they can't defeat us.
I'm just so happy tonight.
We have CSS security.
Thank you for protecting us, guys.
God bless.
Private security.
We have, of course, TNAC police.
We've got the Jersey State Police, I'm sure, federal police are here as well.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
He's like, we got federal, state, and local police, and we hired private security forces.
We pulled Burke's security off watching the banks.
Exactly.
Everyone's been redeployed.
7-11 security guards are all here right now.
guarding the food
this is incredible
what you see is like you know
sirens everywhere and all that
why because when Jews
gather peacefully
this is truly like a
die hard with a vengeance level
of police distraction
absolutely let's get all the police over to TNEC
and then we're gonna
you know rob the subway
y'all if you are
ever planning a heist in TNEC
New Jersey
I would pick
the next independent
and stay because the police will be a little bit busy guarding schmuli and a bunch of psychopaths
who have decided to take a day off to listen to just the worst music you've ever heard.
Yippie, chie, motherfuckers.
Celebrate Israel, their lives are immediate.
But do we look more?
Now, there's just some blathering.
And again, why did this need to be, you know, two parts?
But then I just want to show you he pans through all.
of the law enforcement there and then he throws a hand symbol that really hurt my feelings.
All right, let's do it.
Anyway, you see all the security, you see all the police.
Thanks for protecting us guys, God bless you.
You see all the police, you see just how nuts so it all is.
It's nuts so. We called them, but it's nuts.
Isn't this crazy?
Israel baby.
No!
I'm giving you a Hawaii Shaka.
Hawaiian Shaka.
My two favorite places in the world, Hawaii.
Why am I in New Jersey?
Great question.
Shmooley.
I love because you belong in New Jersey.
It's like in my two favorite places.
Colony A and call any B.
You know, the hard thing for me is I will often drop a Shaka in the chat to say like, it's all good.
I understand.
Yeah, that's, you do the hang loose.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel like Shaka emoji is a little less obnoxious than.
then yeah if you yeah
during the shock in real life yeah
the
not to be confused of course with the
shocker
doing the pink one I think anyway
when Shmooley does it it's a real
shock a con you know what I'm saying
yeah oh I love it
he's a shock a car artist
oh happy birthday to us
that is great how about you
what are you got to say Bill Maher
fuck Israel free Palestine
agreed agreed
God you are so smart
you're killing me
with these trailers.
Sorry, dude.
Sorry.
My favorite was just this last thing to celebrate Israel's 78th year of official occupation of Palestine.
There was a music video that was put out by a bunch of IDF soldiers.
I don't know the name of the artist.
I don't know much about this other than it's real.
And that the chances of being.
like demonetized due to playing the video are high.
So I kind of had to do my own thing with it.
But here is a little bit of the IDF,
Happy Birthday Israel Music video.
Happy birthday to us.
Happy birthday to us.
Happy birthday to Israel.
Happy birthday to Israel.
Happy birthday to Israel.
only us
there's more
happy day
to them
happy dead day to them
happy dead day to everyone
who is against us
for no reason
happy dead day to you
all of me
so anyways
we're gonna get sued by those two old ladies
for the happy birthday so
no they're not because Matt brilliantly just kept it on the
minor on a minor umpah umpah that's right the algorithm will never pick up that melody i
really hope it doesn't because it's like i literally just took those bars and i looped them i was like
please please don't don't fuck with us uh so happy uh happy birthday 78 years of just absolutely
um epic epic epic governing uh epic state building guys we uh we really appreciate everything that you've
done for all of the Jewish people and, of course, everyone else around the world.
Yeah.
And we'd like to throw you a retirement party.
That's right.
Yes.
Yeah, it's time to retire.
78 is a little bit old to be doing fascism.
Maybe it's time for you to go on, you know, Social Security, go to Florida.
That's what I say.
Israel, retire and go to Florida.
You know, we want to give veterans benefits to,
you know, to Americans
who serve in the IDF, so you should
retire from the IDF and we'll give you
Social Security. That's right, dude.
I think that, I think precedent would
be more leaning towards them moving
to places like Argentina.
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
And Garibaldi, possibly.
Those places have always been very welcoming
to people fleeing
refugees. People fleeing
persecution, I mean prosecution.
Yes, yeah, they're fleeing
They're fleeing is the point.
They're fleeing from having done
persecution. That's right. A refugee
is a refugee, okay?
No matter what they've done.
Refugees up, refute hose down.
That's right. Isn't that right,
Netanyahu? Free Palestine.
Free Palestine. Free Palestine.
All right. Thank you. Sorry, Adam.
So,
now we need to move on to talk about
something else. We need
to talk about this assassination attempt.
that happened.
Did you guys see this?
Did you guys hear about this?
Apparently, you see this?
Do you hear it about it?
And you seen this?
You seen this, you guys?
I just need to say something
to the assassin community
in America, okay?
I'm not weighing in
four against anything.
Absolutely.
We're neutral.
We're neutral.
But have you ever heard of a little guy
named Yoda who said,
do or do not,
there is no try?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
This is where I'm just putting
bars in tone and just cutting out the video entirely. I'm asking them if they've seen Star Wars
at him. I don't see what's wrong with that. I don't see. Yeah. That's, Empire Strikes Back, and it's the
best movie the trilogy. I'm just recommending it. That's right. And it's totally non-sequitur and it has
nothing to do with anything else. The point is, is either do or do not, there is no try. And try
is allegedly satire in the game of Fortnite. Sotire. In the game of Fortnite.
Sotire, joke. We're having fun. Everything's good. And if you end up biting the bullet in the attempt,
then there will also be no trial.
Oh, boy.
Christ.
Your unhazbariable.
Oh.
I think, come on.
When are we going to use that one again, right?
Yes.
So there was the White House Correspondents Center that happened recently.
Happens every year, except for, I believe, last year or maybe two years.
There was one year where they didn't do it because Trump was mad.
but they did it again and all of the stars were out.
It was just like a who's who of, you know,
be less celebrities.
I think Triumph the Insult comic dog described it as people who were,
who used to be in Hollywood who are now on methadone.
And that sounds about right.
But at the Co-Respons dinner,
there was allegedly, apparently, a shooter who came in and tried to do an assassination,
and he released a manifesto.
Did you guys see Trump being read parts of that manifest?
I did see this, yes.
I did.
I just want to play it because it's, I just thought it was wonderful.
I love watching him respond to a question that is essentially just, he's not,
wrong in that they totally did it so that he would have to address this allegation.
He also has the funniest listening face in the world.
He does.
It's so good.
Here he is.
The so-called manifesto is a stunning thing to read, Mr. President.
He appears to reference a motive in it.
He writes this quote, administration officials, they are targets.
And he also wrote this.
I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his
I like where he looks off camera.
He does the gym from the office mean.
He does, yeah, he just broke the fourth wall.
He's like, can you believe this?
Can you believe this?
Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you're, you're horrible people.
Because I'm psychic.
Yeah, he did write that.
I'm not a rapist.
I'm not a paed.
Oh, you think he was referring to you?
Excuse me.
I'm not a pedophile.
You read that crap from some sick person?
he just what a rake to the face
so wonderful
and a lot of people are a lot
celebrating her like owning him with oh you thought he was referring to you
I mean I don't know
you knew what you were doing
yeah she's doing it she knows exactly what she's doing
she's on purpose doing an own and
listen I don't I don't mind it it's it's a funny enough bit
but nothing will
she should have just done a pedophile says what
Right, exactly.
If you're going to troll them, yeah, just say a pedophile says what.
Listen, not that I am against him, you know, for being a pedophile because, as you know, I follow the Ted Cruz logic.
How about we all come together and say, let's stop attacking pedophiles?
That's right.
Hell yeah.
Yes.
Stop attacking them, guys.
You know what?
Matt, you've convinced me.
Hell yeah.
This episode is going to be finished editing next.
next Thursday.
Yeah, next Thursday we'll be celebrating 200 episodes.
It'll come out right after our 205th.
Yeah, but listen, there's going to be, especially by the time you actually watch this,
whether it's because of the editing or because of how fast news moves, there's going to be
as bars who have glommed onto this and tried to spin it as somehow being an indictment
of, you know, free Palestine, you know, there has only been a little bit of that.
that so far. Of course, we have had Benjamin Netanyahu make a statement. Sarah and I were shocked
by the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump last night in Washington, D.C. We wanted it to
work. That's right. We couldn't believe it failed once again. We are relieved that the president
and the First Lady are safe and strong. We send our wishes for a full and speedy recovery to the
wounded police officer and salute the U.S. Secret Service for their swift and decisive action.
And we will definitely be processing a bonus in this month's checks for the U.S. Secret Service.
That's right. Absolutely. Everyone gets more. But also Brianna Wu tried to do the thing
where she ties it. And I have that right here. This is Brianna Wu. This is a picture of the
of the assassin or the attempted assassin.
And she writes,
I'd bet $1 million he's free Palestine.
And as it turns out,
whether or not he's free Palestine, I don't know.
But he is someone who retweets Brianna Wu.
This was discovered.
His Twitter account was discovered.
It has since been deleted,
but not before screenshots were taken,
in which he retweeted Breonna
Wu saying my position on Gaza is nuanced.
My position on what's happening to Jews at home is not.
This is no different than the KKK setting fire to crosses in black people's yards in my home state of Mississippi.
Decent people need to unequivocally denounce this.
This is her talking about one of the many, like, what is this?
June 12th of 2024.
One of the many instances of not anti-Semitism.
that happened during that time.
He was part of the Wu-Tang clan.
He was part of the Wu-Tang clan.
He is a-
By the rules of association
established by the precedent
of New York Post v.
Maldani, yeah.
Brianna Wu tried to assassinate the president.
Oh, that sucks, Brianna.
Damn, I mean, I guess
I guess I'll take that million dollars.
You fucking psychopath.
I don't know.
They're coming after you, Brianna.
You should probably flee the country right now.
Get out right now!
Oh, I love it.
I love it.
But, of course, the moment of the night goes to Olivia Rangeld for doing his bar style journalism while there.
I mean, Olivia is at this point taken up the mantle of being like, I don't know, the American Noah Tishby.
You know what I'm saying?
Just being like, she is, she's our too.
Tishby. She's homegrown and she's just as stupid and just as artificially famous. So here is
Olivia Rheingold, you know, shielding herself from the attack and learning from the best.
So she is crouched underground. She's supposed to lay down for ten more minutes.
She is crouched in the same position as Noah Tishby when she is, you know, here's the, the
bomb sirens going off.
And she is, she's doing journalism, except for the whole thing where the camera is pointed
at her instead of, I don't know, anything else.
I don't know.
I just heard, like, I don't know.
It's safe now, but.
And the tweet says, terrifying.
A few ground-shaking knocks by my seat at the White House correspondent's dinner.
Unclear if shooting, I am okay.
We are trying to exit now.
and a lot of hay has been made about the pig tails guys
I guess she's trying out for the reboot of Tank Girl
that style yeah with those pig tails yeah absolutely
I like barbarism critic wrote
hardly the most important thing but I'm fascinated by the choice
to wear pigtails at the White House Correspondence dinner
I like it because it's like
you know it's like a metaphor
I'm not gonna say it
I can't call anyone a Z word, animal word, but it is a thing that I will think.
I'm just, I just feel really bad for the free press.
I mean, it's like it's been such an up and down month for them.
One minute they're celebrating their ascension from scrappy, underdog, you know,
listener-supported, bootstraps, journalism, independent outlet.
Independent, yes.
And having this little impromptu kind of spritory.
spontaneous celebration at Times Square where they managed to crowd fund enough money.
I mean, get the Ellicence to give it to them to get a big fucking billboard up.
And then they get invited to the White House dinner.
I mean, it's like democracy now getting an invite there with a praise owner or any scrappy, you know, outlet.
And the free press gets in.
And then they have this happen.
It's terrible.
It's awful.
It's awful.
I mean, I'm sure it ruined dinner.
I'm sure it ruined the night for a lot of people who all they wanted to do was see the mentalist some Israeli guy do magic tricks in which he does Israeli magic.
They didn't even get Yuri Geller.
It's some sub-spoonbending guy.
Wait, it wasn't Yuri Geller?
No, it's a different guy.
That's right, because Yuri Geller at this point has been, he's like famously discredited, whereas now there's new spoonbending guys out there also from Israel.
doing Israeli magic, or as they probably call it at this White House Correspondent's
dinner, Jew magic.
I'm positive that Trump said, I want to do a little bit of, I want to have someone
doing Jew magic.
I want them to do one of their Jew tricks, right?
Ladies and gentlemen, you all saw.
Jew magic.
Ladies and gentlemen, you all saw, I did not look at the deck.
I did not doctor the deck.
Sir, is this your ID card?
Exactly.
Yes, that's right.
I pulled a rabbit out of a dead man's hat.
It's not my hat.
It's not my rabbit.
And I'm going to kill the rabbit.
Kill the rabbit.
Kill the rabbit.
Yeah.
So truly, a great night for Olivia Ryan Gold.
She really is a fascinating character.
She's Ali Abate, as far as I'm concerned.
I mean, she...
A hundred percent.
If the free press ever fails or if, you know, if circumstances...
dictate like she will be welcomed with such open arms.
They will absolutely immediately put her in an IDF suit and be like,
you don't actually have to do any like killing.
I mean, unless you want to,
but can you just do a photo shoot for a bit?
We're trying to get these 18-year-olds to enlist.
And if we promise that you'll be there.
But yeah, she is.
The Ravent, the chief Ravannet of the country has agreed to make a kosher,
a kosher exception for your pig tails.
Yeah, that's right.
That's great.
We don't usually allow, you know, pig,
but in this case,
the chief rabbin that says
an addendum to that,
Awuga.
He's very attracted to me.
The Torah said,
Hamina, Hamina,
Hamana.
When he saw you,
his tongue rolled out like a
red carpet and then turned into stairs.
And he is hoping you will climb into his mouth
because he is now a cartoon dog.
A large steam whistle,
a blue steam from his ears.
Now he's doing Al-Siniel Hall.
From a burning hospital.
Oh, future IDF hottie,
Olivia Rangel.
Shout out to my favorite half Jew on the
wrong side. She's like my soul sister. It's like something. I'm like, yeah, I feel you,
dog. This is definitely one way to be whole. This is like for me watching her do like a Noah Tishby
style video, I was like, this really is like Darth Vader telling Luke Skywalker like,
finally your training is complete. You know, it's just like she is now fully, this is
for Hasbaris, this is like the mikva step in conversion.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like you've done everything you needed to do.
The last thing is instead of taking a ritual sacred bath,
you got to go on the floor, take a selfie video of something awful happening to someone else.
That's how you fully convert to Zionism.
Guys, we have to take a little break.
But if you stick around.
there will be more show.
So stick around.
I'm going to be right bad.
And we're back.
Zbadisbarra, the world's most moral podcast,
celebrating 200 episodes of straight anti-Zionist slop.
That's right, everyone.
We are still here after 200.
Sloppy 200ths.
Sloppy 200ths, you know?
It is, we didn't know how long this podcast would last.
Nope.
When it started, it was just a way to yell at comedians I knew for being cowards.
And now it is transformed into a full-on show.
Now we yell at other kinds of people for being cowards.
Which is fine.
That's good.
I'm glad for what it's become.
I've got to say, I'm fairly proud of this show, even though, you know, a lot of the vibe can be a little bit.
But we mean it in a positive way.
You know?
That, by the way, that clip is Alex Jones describing this show.
Just saying, who's on the show right now?
It's ju-ju-ju-ju-ju.
Before we, well, no, we have more to talk about.
We actually have an article that we've been holding on to the role.
And it does not smell so good anymore.
No, it is ranked.
Fet it.
Yes.
And it is incredibly long, too long to actually read the full thing.
But we have it here because, I mean, look, if ever we're going to read it, it needs to be for the 200th episode as a celebration of all that we have done.
Well, and Matt, you say it's too long, but it's too long right now at 2,600.
words. This is a 7600 word chat GPT barf passed off as an article.
But the reason we have to read it, though, is we talked about birthdays and gifts and all that
kind of stuff. This article is offering us something that I never thought we would be offered.
Because here we are defining ourselves as anti-Zionists.
That's true.
Railing against Israel and Zionism every single episode twice a week.
I never thought there was a kind of Zionism that could be for us.
That's right.
That we could be included in.
I mean, I just thought we were boxing ourselves out.
You know, I thought we'd made it clear that like, but maybe we just were thinking too
low of ourselves or we weren't thinking expansively enough in terms of what Zionism could be.
That's right.
Because this article claims and says, Zionism for everyone.
That's right.
Zionism for everyone by Alana Newhouse.
It's actually, you have to kind of think of it in caveman voice.
Zionism for everyone.
Zionism for everyone.
Zionism not just for Jew.
Zionism for caveman, cavewoman, is for monkey, it's for lizard, it's for saber-toe tiger.
This is what I-isom scare of fire.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, fire bad.
Zionism is good.
Sometimes food.
Yeah.
That's right.
But yes, the real reason we're all fighting about Israel.
This is, I love this.
This is, of course, from the free press.
And I'm just going to start reading.
There's no way we're going to get through this whole thing.
I just, Adam, you know, took the time to try and cut out as much as he could in order to get to sort of the meat of it.
But let's get to it.
The vegan meat of it.
Well, and the big thing to kind of.
of keep in mind as we're going through this, is this article is about nothing. It goes in 10
different directions. It's always on the one hand, on the other hand, could be both. I don't know.
Let's not commit to anything. It is just an unedited chat GPT nonsense barf. And I tried to
condense it and kind of give a little more of a flow to it. But there are a point.
where it goes on for like 3,000 words on the entire history of the universe.
Hell yeah.
I love that.
You know, this is what Javier Millet is up to.
And it's just, it's not germane to the article.
Hell yeah.
It's just, it must be word count padding.
But it's just insane because, you know, a great New Yorker article.
She got a memo from Barry Weiss being like, Atlanta, I'm sorry.
This article makes no sense.
It's not cogent.
you're not arguing for anything coherent
and your citations are all over the place.
Can you make it six times the length, please?
Yes.
This way people definitely won't read it.
Yeah, it is length in place of scholarship.
It exists for this fucking headline,
which is an article called Zionism for everyone.
That's it.
That's all it exists for.
But here, I'll try to read it, interrupt me as you can.
And every time I get bored,
I might end up, you know, putting one of these bumpers up.
We'll see.
How do people change?
Some change involves things that happen to us, which isn't what interests me.
Okay.
Oh, thank you for putting it in the article.
I'm curious about what happens individually and to societies when people face an unhappy reality, however it came to be, and decide to change what looks at least at that moment to be their fate.
These broken gerons, by the way, are occurring throughout this.
It could be one way, comma, but also please do consider comma.
It also might be the other way.
Fuck, yeah.
Okay.
Well, I'll be prepared for it.
And his 2015 novel submission, Michael, what the hell?
Wellbeck.
I'm going to come right in there and tell you I was pronounced.
Michelle Welbeck.
I have read this novel, I think, or something by him soon before that.
And I want to talk about who he is as a writer, but finish the sentence.
Sure.
Sketch is a portrait of a near future France in which an Islamic party allies with the socialists to take over the country.
The story follows a literature professor faced with a decision to convert to Islam for his career advancement
as the country's social and political landscape is transformed by Sharia law.
His own disillusionment is heightened by his Jewish girlfriend's decision to escape the Islamism.
of France by moving to the Jewish state.
He almost goes with her, but then doesn't.
Uttering the book's now famous line,
there is no Israel for me.
Okay, so I didn't read this novel.
I didn't read this novel.
I did read one of his previous novels.
In fact, I read two or three of his previous novels in the early 2000s
back when he was all the rage.
And one thing all his novels have in common,
and I'm sure this one does too,
is that the Jewish girlfriend
gives incredible head.
And he describes it in incredible, lengthy detail.
His narrators are all just hornedog, middle-aged, miserable alcoholic French
Goyim with, like, Jewish lovers with like, you know, silky, silky candy lips.
Dude, this is like, I love Stephen King, but every once in a while, at some point in his book, he'll just describe the nipples of someone.
And I'm like, please stop doing it.
You wrote a child.
What I like is, here's a fictional story about a thing that didn't happen.
And in that thing that didn't and won't happen, this character almost does something.
Right, yeah.
And instead, utters a line that is going to be perfect for me.
to write 9,000 words about.
I could remember snagging on that sentiment
the first time I read it.
I could see why a disgruntled non-Jewish academic
might hesitate to make Aliaa.
Hesitate.
What are you talking?
But to the extent that Holland,
what is it, Holland?
Hold on.
A non-Jewish academic can't make Alia.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are they talking about?
Alia is for Jews only.
Right.
Well, we get to that because it turns out
everyone can be a Jew.
Oh, interesting.
But what did you say?
Well in Beck.
Well Beck.
Well Beck's fictional portrayal contain a commentary on the real world.
The conclusion felt wrong.
There quite clearly is or could be an Israel for this person.
It's France.
If it could just get on, off the course on, it's on.
My own.
My own private Israel.
Yes, my own happy private Israel.
Yes.
The robots are coming people.
The artificial.
What?
I assume the ellipsies, Adam, is you going yada, yada.
This is where I cut a thousand words out, yes.
All right, great.
Yes.
So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time?
At the time.
Just, you know, to comment on that, you're totally right, Adam.
This is a you taking a bit of sci-fi and extrapolating an entire.
fucking point out of it that is, you know, I got to say remarkably similar to the same type of,
you know, Islamophobic as bar we've been hearing since, I don't know, the year 20, let's say
2001, let's say 2001, in which everything is about the creeping menace of Islam. And the only way
after fucking over 20 years of talking about this, that you can make this article is if someone
writes a sci-fi novel in which the thing that they've been warning about since September 11, 2001, actually happens.
This is not actually happened.
This is something that they have been, you know, especially, you know, right-wing Europeans have been talking about constantly about this.
Yeah, Charlie Hebdo being the cardinal event that's supposed to vindicate their view.
Oh, the Arabs are coming over from Syria.
They're coming over as refugees, and they're taking over and they're doing Islamization,
and they are going to create Sharia law.
They're going to make it so no Christian is safe, no Jew is safe, yada, yada, yada.
A bunch of bullshit that never fucking happens.
So she has to write this fucking article based on a sci-fi novel in which,
fucking, you know, the main point is just reinforcing the already racist thing they always say.
the robots are coming people
there are artificial
wounds we are genetically editing out
diseases that have
terrorized humanity throughout recorded
history heading to Mars
fighting wars with drones
rewielding parts of nature and
raising extinct animals from the dead
or something what
are these developments good
or bad who knows
why write about it
why are you doing this to us
that's the thing about
these new inventions, their effects are always entirely dictated by how humans interact with them.
Deep.
Whether we're conscious of it, we're all facing a future in which some people will enjoy the
possibility of safe, ambitious, beautiful human lives and others will become robot fuel and zombie
food.
We're not facing a future of that.
That's the way the world is.
Right, exactly.
Okay.
You know, robot fuel, that's certainly since the Industrial Revolution.
Right. I love the idea that metaphorically enough, we're all fuel for bots. In terms of zombie food, we're being preyed on by a class of oligarchic fucking undead body snatchers.
Yeah. And fucking, you know, undead economists who are continuing to, you know, insist upon the, you know, how actually society's better all in all when you become robot food willingly.
It's scary and confusing, and every day gets more so.
At just this wild moment, filled with questions so incredible, they're effectively spiritual.
These are the days of miracle and wonder.
Yeah.
At what point does a genetically edited person become equivalent to a machine?
Are rocks animate?
What's happening, bro?
What's happening?
It's just any question that can be posed should be posed and it should be answered with
Could be could not be I don't know let's write some more
I see what she's driving at
No but I see what she's driving at she's there is a structure to this which is with all of these amazing
Questions circulating that we could be asking
All anyone can talk about is Zionism
Yes Zionism critics say is a toxic ideology
It underpins a criminal ethno state.
It incites and justifies genocide.
Do you have good or neutral feelings about this tiny country, the size of New Jersey, thousands of miles away?
Do you have no feelings?
Filling the question with the answer.
Yeah, I know.
I love that.
And also, what the fucking Hasbarra 101 answer.
Are you really?
Are we doing the New Jersey thing again?
Did you just see?
I just saw a video from New Jersey, by the way, in which all of the state police were there to protect Rabbi Shmul.
do you have no feelings about it at all that just shows how venal you are or how stupid about the world
the earliest form of Jesus Christ this is like ever since the dawn of time oh this is like
I'm not kidding this can this includes an entire world history of white people
the good people that I took almost all of that out oh my God oh my God all right so I'm
just going to read a little bit more of this, but first,
uh,
here's a good one.
I love this,
Ray,
give me all your tax money,
but I can buy weapons.
Hell yeah.
Sorry, I needed a little ball has bar in there just to
just to keep the blood flowing.
The earliest form of human organization was small,
nomadic bands that shared resources with simple
egalitarian structures.
They were originally known as kibbutzim.
That's right, exactly.
The earliest form of human organization started in about, let's say, 1919 in Palestine.
Let's see.
Yeah, instead of the Big Bang theory, it's the Balfour Declaration Theory of the universe.
That's right.
Balvor wrote that three sentences that started the entire world.
These grew into tribes which were larger, settled groups linked by kinship with more
complex leadership, but still lacking centralized power.
Then came a truly radical development when the domestication of plants and animals
skip all this shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Then we get to European states, Great Britain, France.
Where the fuck is she going with this?
Go back to people were not invented.
People were not invented in the 1800s.
Who said?
Who said?
What did emerge at that moment and what dramatically influenced the creation of countries
was the conceptual framework of peoples or peoplehoods.
What this is all setting up, you know, because I know we're not going to have time to go through
everything is like, Israel is everywhere.
Jews are everywhere.
Everyone can be a Jew.
Everywhere can be Israel.
We're so powerful, but also victims.
That's right.
That's right.
Yeah.
And also, let's see, there's this, I just can't imagine writing this many words and not
mentioning just the
fascist
ethno-nationalist ideology
that this is pulling from.
You know what I mean? We also, we got to keep in mind
this was not written.
A computer boiled a thousand gallons
of water and this is what came out.
That's right, yes.
The idea derived from
a 19th century German romantic philosopher
and in particular the work of
Johann Gottfried,
Herder.
Hurt her, I just met her.
In tracing the development of human civilization,
heard or noted that shared language, literature, traditions,
and history forged a unique spirit.
Or Volkgeist that he argued should serve as a basis for nation states.
Hey, what happened when this sort of philosophy was, let's say, applied to specifically Germans?
How did that go for the Jews?
Was it good or was it?
Bad for the Jews.
Yeah, yeah. When Herder went looking for an example of a group of people whose attributes common language history, religion, he could use his foundation for the theory. He chose the ancient Jews. Who he argued were the supreme example of an authentic folk expression of a people. If modern Jews had a problem.
Some sort of an Uber example.
Yeah.
Actually, more of an Unter example.
Yes.
If modern Jews had a problem, the Herder continued,
it was that they had been flung from their land,
turning them into a nation within a nation.
Hmm.
Still, that only added to their mystique.
Their specific set of characteristics enabled them
to maintain a unique culture,
fitting in while keeping apart
and successfully adapt to successive waves of modern,
from the Roman Empire to the great religious empires of the Catholic Church and various Islamic
caliphates to the multi-ethnic empires of the Habsburgs and the Ottomans and Westphalian
stayed born everything is always at all times in all places and must be written down in
this article I swear to God isn't this like this is this reads a lot like what was it was
it Henry Ford who wrote a book called the the Eternal Jew like
I feel like this is, it's all sounds so familiar.
It sounds better in its native German.
Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm not sure how much more I can take of this explanation that explicitly ties the philosophy that turns into Nazism to the state of Israel.
Is that at any point pointed out, Adam?
No, I don't think so.
It really is just that like...
We are no mission!
Well, and, you know, a people can exist apart from a nation.
No, that's crazy, dog.
You know, even people like yourself met, patrilineal Jews.
That's right.
We should have our own half Israel.
Can be a part of a people, if not in that people's nation.
Dude, I'm getting a little tired of the facetious tone of this conversation.
Okay, guys.
say it with me, race science is science.
Okay?
That's right.
And what's up, Doc?
Dr. Mangala.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's so true.
Race science is science.
Love is love.
I forgot to put collapse in between those words.
Sex work is work.
Race science is science.
Yes.
In this house, we believe race science.
That's right.
Christopher Columbus was a hero, and so was Dr. Mangala.
What about Gary Cooper?
Unlike, say, Bulgarians or...
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Skip this paragraph.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's see.
Modern DNA evidence suggests that only the patrilineal line of Ashkenazi Jews...
Oh, sorry, excuse me.
The paternal line of...
You're making everything about you again.
It's about me.
Sorry, it's about me and Olivia.
Line of Ashkenazi Jews goes back to the Middle East,
suggesting a group of Jewish men who migrated to...
to the Roman Empire and took wives from among the native European.
Hey, you calling my ancestors gay?
Yeah, first of all, it also sounds a lot like you're calling the paternal line,
the real Jewish line.
And give me my Israel then.
I want it.
It's the same Israel.
I wonder why the women didn't go with them?
Great question.
That's a great, great question.
In doing so, they had no shortage of precedent in Jewish tradition, even though Judaism has passed on through the maternal line.
The matriarchs of the Jewish people were all converts from other nations, as was the founder of the Davidic, kingly line, Ruth.
Interesting.
Again, all things are true at all times.
Yeah, yeah, this is great.
This is great.
What I'm trying to underscore is that you can think of ethnos or culture as a giant mixing board where land raising.
language, religion, creed, and other defining characteristics
act as tracks like drums, bass, guitar, horns, vocals,
which can be raised up or taken down in the mix.
Okay, now you're speaking my language.
This is, like, the epitome of bad band bio writing.
Yo, but check this out.
From the gritty streets of Los Angeles.
Imagine a mixing board.
Yo, but check this out.
Some cultures may prefer bass or double up on trusses.
others might avoid horns entirely.
Jews certainly have not avoided horns entirely.
We got lots of horns.
God, Europe sure doesn't like this horns section.
I got to stay away from this culture that avoids horns entirely, you know?
You know, and I do got to say that like while we're having a lot of fun with this horns bit,
the horns she's talking about are Islam, 100%.
It is just, it's just like.
listen, some cultures don't meld well with the, you know, with the Islamic types.
Imagine if some sort of horn called people to pray.
Yes. I wonder if we can ever get a thesis.
You think we could ever get a thesis? There's one part that you have highlighted that seems big.
Maybe there's something in there, page 16.
Oh, let's see.
Number four final.
No.
Nothing good?
No, it's just that.
there is a test for nationhood that, again, makes everybody apply.
This is fantastic.
All right.
I'm going straight to the last page.
All right here.
Here's the thesis.
In antiquity, the Jews bequeathed to the world, the concept of the nation.
As distinct from tribe.
Nation us.
Yeah, nation us.
As distinct from tribe and empire, which in turn gave rise to a concept to,
modern national identity.
You're welcome. Look how well that's gone.
Yeah. Now, with Zionism, Israel has, again, provided the world with a framework for the future,
this time to avoid and transcend the twin impulses towards digital disintegration of identity
and self-worship.
Excuse me? That's what Israel is about.
I can't imagine a more Israel's, like Israeli-sense.
sentiment, then, yes, digital disintegration and identity of self-worship is nothing but Israel.
You just described it to a T.
And twin.
And twas!
Don't be so afraid of the gift or so pointlessly resentful of the giver that you deprive
yourself and those around you of what you deserve.
You deserve this Zionism.
You've earned it.
Have a little.
Come on.
Have a little as a treat.
As we say in the Yiddish, what is that, nuts, gazunter?
Nuts, gazunterheit.
Gizunterheit.
Yeah, it's like a zunthite.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Use it in good health.
And you're welcome.
Fucking, fucking Maui of Montanui over here singing about, you're welcome.
That's a Moana reference.
That is a Moana reference.
Shout out to Maui, the demi-God.
it is it is like it is truly listen i'm not of course ever going to finish that whole thing
because why would i do that why would i'm so glad i read all 7600 words of it i'm glad you did
zionism for everyone who read every single word of that article which means zionism for adam levin
yeah and for those that didn't also zionism also zionism everyone gets it this yeah the it seems like
you know without simplifying it too much the
point of that article is that
nations exist
and therefore
Zionism is just
one example among
many of nations
existing which
great point
yeah I'm really glad we
land exists and if you have or are either
you're Jewish
I'm glad we read that because it really
is a beautiful mile marker
of where we're at in bad Hasbara
you can call it bad abstract
Barra.
Yeah.
And the guy we're going to talk about next is a cousin to this where Hasbara has just become
postmodern, like high-level undergraduate seminar essay bullshit.
Just making up ideas and terms and like getting down to like the biggest concepts you
can and being like, see, that proves that we didn't start the 1967 war.
Like, they're not even trying to be like,
the Arabs have rejected every peace offer.
They're not talking about the Palestinian Mandela.
They're talking about, like, semiotics.
Right, yes.
And if you don't like it, then you're anti-Semiotic.
Yeah, 100%.
This is, there's a level of, like,
not schizophrenia, but the confusion that you can read
in 7,600 words or whatever of an article about why Zionism is okay, and in fact, everyone should try it,
it can only come from the fact that you realize you can no longer just write the same article over and over again,
which is that like, well, this is our land, we have the right to exist, we have the right to defend ourselves,
they've rejected all the peace treaties, look at the Holocaust, look at our history in Europe, we deserve this.
Look at New Jersey. Yeah, look at New Jersey. Instead, it's just,
blathering. It's blathering. It's the longest possible explanation that they can do. And this next
guy, he has perfected it to a point where, like, I used to, I mean, I still do this, but my character of,
you know, Matt Liberal Zionist, Matt Lib, it was made to make fun of the, like, this is what you
would sound like if you were trying to be honest about your Zionism. Like, you,
No liberal Zionist ever wants to say it in the same sentence.
Yes, Israel is an apartheid state and I'm against all of those except for Israel.
That's okay.
They deserve it.
And you're bad for being against it because it sounds stupid.
It sounds, you know, wrong.
I'm a liberal guy, but sometimes kids got to die.
But sometimes kids got to die.
Adam Lewis Klein has invented, not invented the genre because I believe I invented the genre,
But he has perfected a joke genre of pro-Zionist videos.
And this is, I believe, his masterpiece.
This is just, I think, posted maybe two days ago, here it is Adam Lewis.
I just realized I've never seen him on video.
Here he is, baby.
Get ready.
He's a real guy.
He's the sort of budget Charlie Day.
Sometimes his facial hair resembles yours, Matt, in some of his pictures.
I mean, sometimes.
If he put glasses on, you guys can be brothers.
It's true.
It's the top head of hair that, you know, for me, I'm sort of jealous of because mine is, it just does what it does.
His, I feel like he could comb it.
He could whisper it.
He could probably throw it around.
Mine stays still.
It's not fair.
Anyways, here he is.
It's me from the future.
So I just watched the clip of Tucker Carlson in conversation with the editor of The Economist.
And what I really find stunning about this conversation is not the content of the conversation itself,
but how it got to a point that the editor of the economist is talking with maybe the most popular American conservative pundit about what Zionism is.
Now, what I think stunning about...
Just to be clear, I watched that clip too.
I don't know why he had to preface that with,
I'm not talking about the content of the clip,
because the discussion about Zionism is the content of the clip.
It's just a weird, he's like,
I don't even care what they said.
It's the fact that they said, you just said what they said.
I don't even care what.
You're going to start playing this video at half speed.
Yeah, no, this is how I talk when I am not,
Medicaid.
That is in our culture, we now have a society-wide obsession with Zionism, with Israel,
with Israel as evil, with Israel has a right to exist.
All right.
First of all, hold on.
This is a new talking point.
They're obsessed with us.
That's right.
They're obsessed with us.
Israel put out a video on Independence Day on their disaster day.
They sucks to be the rest of us day.
Knocked by Day of a clip of all the right-wing Israel-hating pundits.
And it was a kind of like, t-he-he-he, you're all obsessed with,
and playing some pop song about you being obsessed with me.
Why is so obsessed with me.
That's like, you know, yeah.
Yeah, this, I mean, I've heard this before,
like this obsession that people have, you know,
about Israel and Zionism specifically.
Let's see where he goes with this.
Don't have is any cultural conversation about anti-Zionism,
about the framework within which this is happening, right?
Because it's only because of the normalization of anti-Zionism,
of people spreading libeles about Israel,
of people constructing Israel's inherently evil
as not having a right to exist,
of endless genocidal wars against Israel,
started by anti-Zionist actors,
from Hamas to Hezbollah to the Houthis to Iran
to Qatar's anti-Zionist propaganda
circulated worldwide.
He's tired.
You can tell him of the 18th take,
and it's three in the morning.
The Jews are tired.
This motherfucker saw a free parking sign tired.
It's also in this insufferable sing-song delivery.
Yes.
Oh, my God, you guys, I don't know if you saw this thing.
Oh, my God.
Look, Becky, look at her clip.
I'm a normal person just like you.
How do you, fellow kids?
That's right.
So why exactly is no one talking about that?
Okay.
I have to stop up right there.
This is one of the most, like, if this were written by me,
it would be one of those bits that people yell at me for
because they weren't sure if I was being satirical,
but I would go.
That's how I first encountered you.
Yes.
It happens a lot.
Yeah, because sometimes I'm too subtle with it.
But this argument is essentially,
you know, over the past few years now,
there have been discussions about the abolitionist movement.
There have been discussions about ending slavery,
about anti-slavery.
But, you know, there has not been a discussion.
about why we need slavery and why we need for it to keep going.
His argument is essentially we keep talking about the bad things about Zionism,
but we haven't discussed why it should be illegal for you to say those bad things.
Right.
We haven't discussed why you should be in jail if you try to say these bad things
as a federal employee.
That is the stupidest argument.
I've ever heard.
And to the point in which where he is saying all the way back until, you know, 48,
when anti-Zionism started all this.
You can't, you mean they came in anti-Zionists?
Like, whatever that is, I'm against it.
Have you ever noticed that anti-Zionists never bring up how bad anti-Zionism is?
That's, yeah, coincidence.
They just avoid the topic entirely.
It's like, it's like the elephant in the,
Elephant's Room.
That's right.
It's just unbelievable amount of stupidity here.
You know what it is?
It's not stupidity.
It's galaxy brain.
It's galaxy brain where you are so obsessed with this reframing of anti-Zionism as being
like not just anti-Semitism, but being beyond it being like almost like worse than
anti-Semitism.
Oh, yeah.
That you are framing people resisting the creation of
Israel as them doing evil insidious anti-Zionism, not even pointing out the fact that they had to
first be against Zionism in order. He's doing chicken or egg and he's just saying chicken sandwich.
It started with chicken sandwich and chicken sandwich is evil. It's fucking insane.
I would say, I would say more than stupid, he's pedantic. He's a pedant.
Yes, he's a pedant file. He's a pedant file, yeah.
Yeah.
Do most Jewish organizations never even use the word anti-Zionism?
Right?
Yeah, this is the hilarious thing.
He's like, we need to stop calling anti-Zionists anti-Semites.
Right.
Okay, that lets them off the hook.
What they really are, what we need to call them on, what will really nail them and upset them,
because they won't be able to argue with it, is anti-Zionists.
Right.
Yeah.
it's it's almost it's almost like and I've said this one in the beginning with him
if he were an op that I created as like an alternate identity in order to do like deep fucking
satire you would not be shocked you would not be surprised whatsoever and that would be a
career's worth of good work on your part like you could retire on that a hundred percent
satisfied yeah oh but like yeah the fact that he's like everyone stop talking about
anti-Semitism, start talking about anti-Zionism.
I'm like, I agree with you, but I don't think you like, you will like why I agree with you on that.
He thinks that if you start talking about anti-Sionism, it'll change the content of what anti-Zionism is and make it look bad.
No, please, go ahead.
Talk about anti-Zionism.
And we anti-Zionism.
We'll be happy to explain to you why we think the way we think, what it's based on.
Yes. It is, it is just, it's incredible.
That so many Jews endlessly talk about Zionism and not describe the actions and behaviors
of anti-Zionists to put them into question.
Why is it?
That's not even true.
They're constantly talking about the actions and behaviors of anti-Zionists.
Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not really even sure who he's talking about.
Like, is he talking about anti-Zionist Jews or is he talking about Jews who are calling people
anti-Semitic for being anti-Zionist.
He thinks they're being euphemistic when they do that.
Right, right.
Which is incredible, and I guess I agree.
He doesn't like the conflation, but for a different reason.
Right.
He endlessly talk about Zionism and not describe the actions and behaviors of anti-Zionists
to put them into question.
Okay.
Why is it that even well-meaning efforts,
to litigate anti-Semitism,
prejudice against Jews, let's say, on campuses.
Antisemitism?
Only treat anti-Zionism as...
He's got a Dr. Evil cadence, actually.
Yeah.
To litigate anti-Semitism?
Mm-hmm.
Right.
Prejudice against Jews, let's say on campuses,
only treat anti-Zionism
as potentially a mask for anti-Semitism
and see nothing interesting in itself
about the obsession with Zionism.
the specific tropes, libals, and stereotypes that are used.
Is that a shadow or did he get punched in his right eye?
I think that's a shadow.
Why do we only talk about anti-Semitism?
Why don't we at least say anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism?
Why do we assume that it's impossible to stigmatize anti-Zionism to describe
Wait, hold on, I want to hear what he says here.
Anti-Zionism.
Why do we assume that it's impossible to stigmatize anti-Zionism, to describe it
as something bad to tell its history.
That is the interesting question.
I love this.
And I support you, Adam Lewis Klein.
You are right.
Please, please do your best to stop people from constantly just talking about anti-Semitism
and instead talking about anti-Zionism and the history of anti-Zionism.
And what it means in the actions of anti-Zionists, we 100% agree.
with this. You know where he thinks anti-Zionism started?
Where? Where does you think you started?
On the internet with me.
No, in the Soviet Union. He thinks it's a Bolshevik trope.
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes.
And an Islamist trope.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yes. It is. Right. It is the, and this is something.
Zionism had to come, you know what? You know, actually, Adam, I think you just need to come out.
And, I mean, he's worth. Different Adam.
Adam Lewis Klein.
Adam Lewis Klein.
I think you should just come out and tell us the truth,
which is that actually Zionism was a reaction to anti-Zionism.
The first Zionist Congress was designed and implemented
as an emergency measure to combat the rampant and growing spread
of the hatred of the future state of Israel in Europe.
That's right. That's right.
So they were like, okay, well, we got a pony up and represent, you know.
Yeah, and in fact, they didn't even want, like, Zionism wouldn't even be necessary if it wasn't for anti-Zionism.
That's right.
Like, there was at no point in which any of the Jews of the world ever wanted to build their own state in Palestine.
No, why would they?
Sounds like a terrible idea.
There's people already living there.
Exactly.
You know, many of us are white Europeans.
It would just lead to a lot of war and skin cancer.
And we all said, no, that's a terrible idea.
But then these dang anti-Zionage just, just.
came out and just started writing articles like,
you're never going to get a state in 48.
It's never going to happen.
And Herzl was like, y'all going to make me ethnic cleanse up in here, up in here.
Yeah, I mean, it is, it is just, it's galaxy brain shit where you are so,
because, you know, he's wedded to this idea of popularizing the term anti-Zionism
for it to have the same negative connotation as anti-Semitism.
if not worse.
The problem is that because
anti-Semitism
is something that people have heard of
and know and have stigmatized
that his brand of
no, no, please, let's talk about anti-Zionism
and make that, it's like,
he needs them to stop doing it.
So in order for him to be
the voice of anti-anti-Zionism,
a.k.a. Zionism,
he needs to stop institutions
from abusing the term
anti-Semitism
to describe anti-Zionist,
which I'm like,
I'm okay with him doing this.
This is something he should be doing.
Because the one thing he hasn't reckoned with
is that his only argument
for when people talk about what Zionism is,
his only argument is,
nah-a,
that's it.
Anti-Zionist libel declined.
He loved it and he'll just post,
he won't even say,
he'll just post some.
A meme, a shitty meme.
some shitty meme and I have to point out to him that he's got a typo and he's like thanks good catch
like he's so sloppy it is it's crazy and you know I do think he's doing something that no one
else is done because it's so stupid it's powerful he's making he's making himself like the voice of
hey we need to stop conflating anti-zionism and anti-semitism which makes it all the more yeah
Which makes it all the more outrageous, actually, when he's sidelined.
I know.
When he's not recognized for his efforts, when he's not included, his perspective is vital and could be a real boon in the fight against anti-Zionism.
If only it would be recognized.
Yeah, much like many great artists, his art will not be appreciated until long after he's gone.
Right now, others are being uplifted.
they're standing on the shoulders of giants.
There is an anti-Zionism conference,
a world symposium against anti-Zionism
that's going to be happening on...
Stress on the Simp part.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a symposium.
Yeah, a world of simps.
Tafsik, of course, is organizing it
with stop antisemitism.org.
And it's a world symposium against anti-Zionism.
It's going to happen on Sunday, May 17.
No, it's actually stop anti-Zionism.
which I think might even be his, might even be his organization.
Dude, I hope so.
I hope.
Yeah.
In which case, in which case, we take it back.
Yeah, in which case, good for you for being involved.
And it's a keynote special guest is Ben Shapiro.
And of course, it has all of the hits are there.
We've got Gad sad.
Oh, Gad will be glad.
He will no longer be sad nor mad.
we have Rawan Osman, James Lindsay,
Emily Austin's there.
Who else do we know?
A. Al Yacobi, dude, these are all the fucking, you know what these are?
These are the Friends of the Pod.
Friendo.
The pod.
It's everyone except for us.
Everyone, you know, why weren't we invited?
That's what I say.
Ben Cohen, not of the ice cream.
Yeah, yeah.
The bad Ben Cohen.
And then, of course, Eve Barlow.
Will be there.
Eve Fartlow would not miss a chance to be there.
She was also recently on Fox News in which they described her as an expert.
Iranian regime playing hard to get.
And let me tell you something.
I know about playing hard to get.
The whole world wants a piece of me.
Yeah, that's right.
She looks like she's trying to get with Toranaga-san on the new season of Shogun.
Oh, yes.
Is there a new season?
There is going to be a new season.
When is it coming out?
That I don't know.
It's such a good show.
Yeah, I love ex-fart.
I mean, expert EFartlow is going to be there as well as one other person.
If you look closely.
And we are so proud of this guy.
Right there.
Jesse Brown.
Oh, you did it, Jesse.
You fucking did it.
This has got to be for a little.
Like for you, Daniel, for all of the listeners or ex-listeners of Canadaland,
for certainly everybody on the Canada Land subreddit,
this has got to be complete vindication as to your, you know,
two years of yelling at this guy going, what's going on with you?
What's going on?
Are you a journalist even anymore?
No, I mean, Canada lands, his tagline at the end of every cold open on Canada
land used to be wait for it.
And Jesse, we have been waiting for it.
And here you are.
You've fully crossed over it.
You've made it, man.
You've made it the big time.
You're doing a freaking event with Ben Shapiro as a fucking keynote with Gad's sad is going to be in there.
A.
Al, Yacobi.
I mean, you are, you know, to quote the Muppets State Manhattan, right where you belong.
That's right.
That's right.
Right where you belong.
It's great.
It's truly wild.
It couldn't be happier for you.
It's truly wild.
I feel like I'm a little jealous too because I didn't know of Jesse Brown until after this podcast, our podcast had started.
And I was made aware of Jesse Brown late.
So I never knew him as someone who you once respected.
But I know tons of others who I've had that feeling about.
But they, you know, as far to the right as they've gone, as far, you know, Zionists as,
as they have gone, none have done such a fucking heel turn to actually find himself sharing a space
with people who are professional liars like A.L. Yacobi, like people who are straight Nazis,
people who espouse essentially Nazi ideology, but with regards to Palestinians.
that is that's a true fucking pivot that's i mean it's a it's actually an even better case of what
george galloway said about christopher hitchens oh what did he say about if you'll allow the
the scottish accent one more time do it please i love ladies and gentlemen this is the
first case in recorded history of a butterfly devolving into a slug
That's part there.
And that's exactly what we've seen.
And, well, we have something special to celebrate Jesse.
Jesse Brown's turn into a slug, his reverse transformation into back into the very hungry caterpillar.
The 98 people who came out to the Vancouver show have already heard a version of this.
But we decided it's, with this occasion, you know, with this auspicious moment in his career, we had to share it.
more widely because we're just so
god damn proud we're
proud of him we're proud of him
you know being fully transformed
not unlike
the Kafka story about
transformation
and for those
of you you know watching this on YouTube
if at some point
when we say
we're going to play this it just
ends and it's just
we're back
that means that it was
there was a copyright issue
and a demonetization issue.
And if that happens,
then look into the description
of this episode at the bottom there.
And there will be a link to watch it on a separate video
that we're going to upload to YouTube.
Also, you can listen to it in full
and watch it in full on our Patreon.
Patreon.com slash bad Hasbara.
Listen, we've been doing this for 200 episodes, guys.
200 episodes, isn't it time you supported our little tiny channel about anti-Zionism?
I think it is.
So you can watch it there or possibly you'll hear it here.
But here is a little bit, full video of a song that we did together in Vancouver for Jesse Brown.
The song is called Jesse's World.
Jesse has a pod.
Yeah, it used to be a favorite.
of mine
but lately
something's changed
it's not hard
to define
he's doing talks
with Ben Shapiro
and Adam Lewis
Klein
and he's tweeting out
all those lies
and he's
getting that
musad money
I just know it
and he's the
darling of
the conservative
scientist
rights
you know I wish
I lived in
Jesse's world
lays along
with the charades
good work
telling CBS News
he is afraid
Yes, peace in the Atlantic is not hard to refute
Want to own him in a comment
But the point is probably moot
Because he's tweeting out all those lives
Like polite foreground
My lord
Music video by Daniel Matee
That
That was incredible
That was a lot of fun
And a beautiful co-write and co-performance by us
I like this now
We used to kind of each do our own solo things.
Yeah.
And this was a collab.
When we collab, nothing finer.
Nothing finer.
Guys, it's been a great episode.
And it's been a great 200 episodes of this podcast.
I just, I want to shout out everyone who has been watching slash listening to this podcast,
whether it was from the beginning or it was, you caught it, you know, somewhere in the middle.
you know
this truly has been
quite an experience
I will say that much
I've loved doing this podcast
I've hated doing this podcast too
in a lot of ways
it is it's not the easiest
to you know
do every week twice a week
but we do it because
someone has to
because you know
Adam Lewis Klein can't be beefing with nobody
because Jesse Brown
can't be
you know just
unsung
unsung you know
he needs to be sung and
I'm glad it is us
who have sung to him so I want to thank
I want to thank both of you
I want to thank producer Adam Levin
for coming on and being our
our man on the ones and twos
our producer
of course and I want to thank Daniel
Mate for being my co-host
in this journey of talking about
shit that is sad and sucks
it really is
it's been wonderful.
Never could have imagined it.
I still remember very vividly the night I met you, December 12th, 2023, you had just
started the podcast.
You said, hey, why don't you come on?
And I think the next day or a couple of days later, I rolled up to your studio.
And we did it.
And look what we started.
And look, I don't know if we've done anything at all to change one solitary thing
about the world.
But this podcast has definitely changed my life.
And really the only thing that keeps us doing it is that we,
hear from people that it's benefiting them and nourishing them in some way in times that are
absolutely un, just unovercomable sorrow and grief and horror and rage, you know? So if we can,
if we can add a nutrient into the, into the taco, that gives it, gives it a, you know,
that makes, keeps it worth, keeps life worth biting into then, then thank you for letting us do
that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely. And, you know, it's, it is hearing from our listeners and our viewers, you know, meeting them, you know, either around town or meeting them, you know, at live shows that we do that, that remind me that people actually do, not just listen to the show, but also, I think, have made the show kind of a part of their coping or, you know, whatever you want to call it.
The number one comment that we get is people saying,
thank you for making me feel sane.
And I want to thank everyone out there for making me feel sane
because it is nice, it is mutual.
We all feel safe and sane talking about this fucking bullshit.
So thank you, everyone.
