Native Mississippian here. While the state takes a lot of grief it doesn't deserve, it's biggest problem is the brain drain. The state produces so many extraordinary people who all leave. And in the blackest state in America, the drain crosses racial lines too.
I wonder how long that process can continue. Deep South states are all for demonizing teachers and professors. What happens when enough have left that the school systems can't even pretend to teach down there anymore?
Nice reference tom Myers! He ain’t wrong! My family grew up in a “dennys closes at 9pm” town 😵. When I got older I was like no wonder everyone is on drugs. There is no…even hanging out at the park is busted up by the cops, etc…the eff is a human supposed to do for fun. I guess in the Bible Belt, having fun after the sun goes down is ☝️no no ☝️
I feel ya. The suburbs blow so hard man. There is nothing to do but watch TV, play Nintendo and go to the mall. And my parents wondered why we were all smoking pot, doing mushrooms and drinking shitty liquor on the weekends.
Didn't even know you had THE KING on until I heard "I'm from Maryland..." And it was unmistakable lol Also, just started listening to the actual episode and I appreciate that it seems to be a sincere addition of Tom and not a backhanded way to mock him. Tom is *the* best bad comedian ever but I think the mocking of him is kinda moldy. I mean, it was clear that some chuckles were at his expense but it wasn't like a visit to RAP or a similar show that just loudly and blatantly made fun of him the entire time. Kudos for just having him as a guest and just letting The King be The King. There is no need to juice it up. Kings will do kingly sh*t on their own and Tom rocks.
Hattiesburg is a Brett Favre cult. None of this surprises me. The college, southern miss, the base, camp Shelby, and Brett "TANF" Favre, are the bread and butter of Hattiesburg. Such shame, Brett, smh.
It only clicked that this was THE Tom when he made the "mississippi has more beach than maryland" joke and there was a silence as everyone waited for a punchline. Like if he was from Miami or another place famous for their beaches then MAYBE it could work. But Tom is mad about there being longer coastlines in Mississippi than Maryland. There's a lot of coast in fucking Antarctica but I'm not sunbathing there Tom. Jesus christ this man KILLS comedy.
Mississippi beaches are nice. The water is warm and shallow full of fish and even manatees. It’s a little brown but NOT because oil though. It’s because of the Mississippi River. And the main reason the Mississippi is so polluted is because Chicago dug a 30 mile canal into to dump their waste into it, they would never get away with something like that today.
It's good thing I already tossed his jersey away as a teen when he went to fucking Minnesota. But the vicodin, wrangler jeans and dick pics were so relatable really loved the guy there for a bit again. This is just ontologically evil, fuck Favre.
Enough poor people go to USM to make it eligible to receive the taxpayer dollars and Brett Favre is on the board to get to choose how it’s spent. I like it Favre is a king

Tom with the absolutely brutal takedown of Mississippi. It truly is the last place I would think of to go play Volleyball.
Thinking to myself, “Damn, this guest sounds so much like Tom Myers the comedian.. but there’s no way they booked him. Right?”
The man that gave Brett the money is already in prison awaiting sentencing. That's impressive
And rare. That state and university are my old alma mater. Truly stunned the Good Ole Boys are actually feeling any pain.
Hey! Mississippi resident here, and I assure you that people are doing some fucking mental gymnastics to excuse Favre.
Same. And USM alum. Oof!
Where my unstable girlies at?

THE Tom? What the fuck is happening?
Yeah right what did Bret farve have? A bong hit transplant?
theft is precisely the reason rich people are rich.
Don’t really feel bad for Tom Myers anymore. Thank you, Chapo.
matt comparing Wisconsin govt to a Werner herzog film princess and perfect 😂chefs kiss

I heard that first "maryland" and I stood up like a meerkat to assess my surroundings
I’m so glad the show had on comediannnnnnnnn Tom Myers….idk if guys know this but Tom is from Maryland
"Ive seen worse folks, everybody remember" I thought he was talking about Virgil for a second 😔
Whos he?
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Dark Lord Vergilmort
Really nice flow on that closing Christman rant .
mississippis gov looks like ryan grim
Back in my day when Football players went bad they committed homocide
ALLEGEDLY #FREEOJ

The spinning statue is of Saparmurat Niyazov, former dictator of Turkmenistan. Look up his bio, he was the best good ol' boy, the best.
Tom Myers has that Nien Nunb laugh.

As Nick famously said, he's funny, but he has absolutely no idea how comedy works
Wait a minute this isn't The Politipod...
This episode is electric, almost as good as Sean Bolan's in Bel Air, Maryland.
GPS, but um, Maryland
Tom laughs like Roger Rabbit.
hilarious to have eaten at one chain restaurant in ms and then make a judgement call on all of their cuisine lol
I appreciate the proper pronunciation of his last name
Omg! Matt's rant at 12:00 is poetry! I'm going to need a shower now!
How did he not bring up GPS
Big shoutout to the Packers who managed to draft two back to back sociopaths to play QB.
EDIT: *employed two sociopaths
Didn't draft Favre but fair enough
Falcons drafted Brett...
Farve is scrambling in the backyard, as we speak.
@Jason Johnson haha

I don’t take kindly to you calling Mississippi citizens manatees
You forgot the flesh eating bacteria we got down here.
Southerners do love blaming others for their own problems.
Tom myers jump scare
The bad clubs are the only places that will hire Tom the man needs to eat dammit
someone call lionel hutz!
Ngl having Tom on as a guest just seemed needlessly mean.
Enjoyed the reference near the end to Rod Dreher's soyfacing tour of eastern Europe
huddle house slander i will not stand for sir
The volleyball stadium was intended also for secondary as-yet-to-be revealed purposes. I'm trying to figure it out.
Hillbilly breeding chamber?
Public beheading most likely
@@freakyzed8467 One way of looking at it.
Concentration camp
@@dzhang4459 I'm thinking more along the lines if a meeting place. Not necessarily illegal, but for less than benign purposes.
We need Gorka.
Go Pack!

Beep beep beep Bootlicker detected.
Yeah, put the guy who spent 20+ years getting concussed every Sunday in charge of the college.
