Listening to Matt talking toward the end there, I realised that it's probably the flattening of experience that comfort produces which causes people to NEED to feel something. Their lives are so lacking in emotional content that they need to artificially provide an emotional charge of some kind, and media exists to provide it. As a society becomes more and more comfortable, it focuses its anxieties on smaller and smaller things, until at the limit people become anxious about literally nothing at all.

That was perfect. ❤
I suspect Matt's views have changed some since this episode, at least based on how he talks about politics now
once again Matt with the correct hot takes.
You gotta ride the train sloooow real sloooooow now
2:52 made me spit coffee all over my cubicle
7 years later in 2023, this is still Matt's finest moment. Right up there with Pringles and the French Revolution.
Don't forget one of the best lines in the entire show, when they learn about Caleb's document "The Ten Crackle Commandments"
The origins of the Gumbo-pill
Clay Higgins is my favorite Chapo weirdo
Yall, keep those hearts going
"What are those?"
Right at the end in that final second there - even Chris cuts Adam off lmao

That there dish is called turd-oh
So he's a cop like Sanders was a colonel.

I'm with Felix, this should not be as funny as it is.
Finally someone clipped it!!!
This is so insensitive, but god damn it is so freaking funny.
Cajun style

What does Felix say at 1:30, “everyone of their shoes looked like a ….”
"every one of their shoes looked like a fam" making fun of boomers/libs (or liberal boomers) misuse of AAVE
I'm so confused.
Koff koff koff *gasp* kofkofkofkof *wheeze* koff koff
You’ll end up kissing the jackboot
Aw Virgil before he got cancelled
With no context on who the fuck Clay Higgins is, those first 5 minutes were really uncomfortable listening ngl
could I get a mr pibb?
I don’t think that’s a Cajun accent, it sounds like a generic Deep South accent.
well you're fucking wrong kiddo
You absolute FOOL
Clay Higgins has picked up a louisiana accent except hes from new jersey or something
So uncomfortable
I didn't know CTH was Holocaust deniers!
