Premium 294: Seeking Balance
Added 2024-03-04 14:54:42 +0000 UTCI'm still in the middle of a move so for now you get another so-called "silly" episode. I did however go to a march for Palestine and we talk about that a little bit.

RFKJ ON DUNE you guys predicted the brain worm!

2024-03-18 15:29:57 +0000 UTCGuys. Dune is good.

2024-03-18 15:28:55 +0000 UTCBoys you have been absolutely cooking the past few weeks. getting held up in the alley by Casey kasem, “no one will believe you now give me your wallet” Shelby Foote being the grim reaper, i feel like I’m in a trillbilly golden age

2024-03-16 23:54:05 +0000 UTCI’m from Louisville and I find the class/ political divide between our fan bases fascinating: urban v rural, liberal v conservative, etc. I fully cop to a fair amount of lib snobbery on our side tbh😉

2024-03-10 00:13:58 +0000 UTCI’d pay good money for an audio book of Middlemarch read by the mouth of the holler himself. I was challenged by my local librarian to read it way then back in Nancy. I I always hear her voice lol.

2024-03-06 00:45:16 +0000 UTCNajs! I've forced a bunch of friends to read it. And a few customers a work. It's one of the most correct books on aesthetics ever written.

2024-03-05 23:20:24 +0000 UTCNever read or watched Dune, never plan to, this episode was still great. You can riff off of anything and make it entertaining.
Tyler Pittman
2024-03-05 21:24:26 +0000 UTCByng-Chul Han wrote a really good book about how smooth sucks ass. Saving Beauty. Read it.
Anders Olsson
2024-03-05 20:25:49 +0000 UTCYou boys were talking about John Brown in one of these episodes and it inspired me to go back to re-listen to that ep you did on Cloudsplitter w/ John Lingan (#288 for the curious). And i gotta say, that convo is absurdly good. Like, it struck real inspiration in me, the way you all intertwine various historical & ideological threads in the context of one of the great crazy white boys of history. Anyway. Its on the free feed so can’t comment my appreciation there (?) but that one is genuinely a riveting 2 hour conversation and prime example of why I will happily pay for this program til you call it quits. Don’t ever let the haters and philistines bring you brilliant boys down
Daniel
2024-03-05 20:15:30 +0000 UTCYeah I read somewhere they also found evidence of much higher rates of blue eyed indigenous people in the area, further evidence in support of this theory.

2024-03-05 19:30:47 +0000 UTCfree episodes consistently addressing the ethical and political crises of our epoch with an urgency and love found only in the deepest wellsprings of revolutionary humanity, premium episodes that are basically Cumtown II; this is the ideal podcast

2024-03-05 11:02:59 +0000 UTCOk my headcanon is that paul is a trans egg, “you can do space magic that only these elite women can do” “Haha weird, instead analyzing that rethinking my whole identity, im gonna make hitler look like a grade school bully”

2024-03-05 04:44:11 +0000 UTCI would pay an irresponsible amount of money to listen to an audiobook of Dune read by Tom. please do it.

BigBoi
2024-03-05 01:22:05 +0000 UTCI am a bit sad the new Dune abandoned the word jihad in place of holy war. Bring back space jihad!

2024-03-04 20:06:30 +0000 UTCRoanoke colony is only a mystery cause they assumed all natives were savages lol. The "mysterious" carving on the tree was 'Croatan' which was the name of a nearby tribe, which was later going to have a bunch of ppl with blonde and red hair. The colonists literally just integrated with the locals and left a message about where they had gone lmaoo

HarshMalarkey
2024-03-04 18:55:29 +0000 UTCThe first book is most commonly interpreted as a critique of western imperialism, and Paul's breaking of his destiny to become a white savior
Kyle Newman
2024-03-04 18:30:22 +0000 UTCThe movies don't really focus on this but the Fremen religion is supposed to be a hybrid of Islam and Buddhism via several different exiles to different planets.
Samuel Ordonez
2024-03-04 18:23:28 +0000 UTCIt's by Franks own admission a critique of the (white) savior narrative, but it can definitely get muddled by his shitty politics butting in.
Samuel Ordonez
2024-03-04 18:21:59 +0000 UTCToby Keith is a key text in the phenomenon of country cucking. Before, he wished he didn't know now what he didn't know then. Then he asked how you liked him now? and went straight to feeding beer to his horses.

2024-03-04 17:32:12 +0000 UTCDune started as a cautionary tale that illustrates the futility of centralized leadership. Then Frank Herbert's wife was put on life support and the series became "what if sexy space Amazonians ruled the galaxy".

2024-03-04 17:13:15 +0000 UTCA few days 'fore he turned eighty He was sitting out back in a rocker He said, "What you been up to lately?" I told him, "Chasing a dollar" And in between sips of coffee He poured this wisdom out Said, "If you want my two cents on making a dollar count Buy dirt Find the one you can't live without Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground Do what you love but call it work And throw a little money in the plate at church Send your prayers up and your roots down deep Add a few limbs to your family tree And watch their pencil marks And the grass in the yard All grow up 'Cause the truth about it is It all goes by real quick You can't buy happiness But you can buy dirt" Before you get caught on that ladder Let me tell you what it's all about Find you a few things that matter That you can put a fence around And then he laid it out Buy dirt Find the one you can't live without Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground Do what you love but call it work And throw a little money in the plate at church Send your prayers up and your roots down deep And add a few limbs to your family tree And watch their pencil marks And the grass in the yard All grow up 'Cause the truth about it is It all goes by real quick You can't buy happiness But you can buy dirt You can buy dirt And thank the good Lord for it 'Cause He ain't makin' any more of it So buy dirt
