I've listened to almost all shows since they started, & this is much needed, but the Musk interview was by far the hardest to listen to & the one that made me angriest. Joe Rogan is a liar & an idiot & I hate that he has such a huge reach. Please keep exposing this moron & debunking every one of the grifters & liars he platforms.

2025-03-26 18:21:23 +0000 UTCI have used it to write platitudes for a Hallmark card for someone I don’t care about. That’s how much I trust it.

2025-03-20 19:10:34 +0000 UTCOut of curiosity, has anyone edited together all of the silence into 15 minutes of these idiots staring blankly at each other, breathing? I would watch that.

2025-03-18 15:34:41 +0000 UTCNoooo. This is horrible. 100% a violation of workplace rights. ... Uh, except. Is there even such a concept any more? I assume companies could feed their workforce into a wood chipper if they feel like it, or abandon them on a dead mining planet full of xenomorphs with no real repercussions

2025-03-18 15:29:36 +0000 UTCMy fintechbro ex-boss used to post screenshots to the company slack of his Philosophy 101-level conversations with ChatGPT, whenever it said shit like "That's a great point!" or "That's a fascinating insight! Many great thinkers have grappled with blahblahblah" It was so fucking cringe... "look at me, Clippy says I'm smart!!!"

2025-03-18 15:08:09 +0000 UTCThis is rough man. Elon is so obviously full of shit and knows that it doesn't matter that he can lie blatantly and seemingly doesn't lose support from the idiot brigade. Oh Jesus christ I am commenting while listening and we just started the seig heil segment.... ugh

2025-03-18 14:50:08 +0000 UTCMy boss at work decided he was going to watch this episode at work. Not on his work monitor, nope, the main television we keep up as a back up camera screen because we work at an airport and monitor plane movements up there sometimes. I couldn't stay in the office a minute more than absolutely necessary to do my paperwork. My eyes kept rolling so hard I could barely see straight after 3 minutes... I don't want to imagine what it did to Marsh and Cecil to watch not once, but two or three times!

2025-03-17 17:02:38 +0000 UTCFeel like I beat this drum last week with Ky Dickinson. One of my leads at work put this interview on in the lead office at work. Watched the entire thing, and was crowing occasionally about how Elmo was going to save the entire country. Sometimes I genuinely hate working in an industry that's just a feeding ground for conservative idiocy. Dude was claiming Elmo and Trump are going to fix all the "Democrat out of control spending" and "Bidenflation." All while proces continue to rise, and everything costs more than it did 6 months ago when he was whining that Biden had doubled the cost of everything and I genuinely am quoting him when I use the words "day one, Trumps going to start slashing prices for everything, just like he did in 2016!"

2025-03-16 17:52:36 +0000 UTCShit, I knew this was going to be a rough one but it still threw me for a loop hearing the first clip start "So George Soros..."

2025-03-16 04:57:21 +0000 UTCI recently introduced my Year 9 class to running stand alone chatbots on their laptops. The reaction of 13 year old boys was exactly the same as Elon and Joe playing with Grok.

2025-03-16 01:44:58 +0000 UTCI like the audio (a tape deck? ) before and after the clips. It helps differentiate what we are listening to.

2025-03-15 20:38:07 +0000 UTCThank you for putting yourself through this. I knew this one would be bad but didn't guess just how bad. You can hear the exhaustion and exasperation in your voices but know it is important and it does make a difference.

2025-03-15 20:15:10 +0000 UTCI wrote grants for a living for a while and they sure as hell don’t ‘just keep renewing them’ - I basically had to make sure I was writing a grant I might get hired to manage in 2 years because the one I was on might have funding pulled at any time … I stopped doing that because I go older and had things like a house that I couldn’t float or save enough money to be unemployed for 3-6 months (if not more) …

2025-03-15 19:39:05 +0000 UTCIt's truly a public service. I couldn't cope with studying this entire recent sociological period, this era of right-wing grift and grift-adjacent bullshittery, the construction of a collective delusion, without pods like this and Knowledge Fight. It's just too fucking annoying and vexatious to take in in its purest form.

2025-03-15 18:11:00 +0000 UTCRight!!? It's toddler-level obvious. Just unbearable in a grown-ass man. He's babbling "Nuh nuh, uhh, uhmmm... I didn't, Sally did it, she, wrote my, um, name on da wall" while his hands, clothes, and face are covered in permanent marker and the wall has his hand prints all over it.

2025-03-15 18:05:05 +0000 UTCImagine having to listen to this shit 3 or 4 times, in its entirety... I might up my Patreon pledge to cover the necessary therapy.

2025-03-15 17:22:58 +0000 UTCI couldn't agree with this more. Everytime Elmo starts a new lie he vomits up a "erm, ughh, duhhhhh, hmmmmm, wellll, hurrrrr" before the bullshit begins.

2025-03-15 17:19:56 +0000 UTCI fucking HATE these 2 fucking monstrous imbeciles. Imagine listening to this drivel and thinking, "eRmUhGeRd, DiS BiLlIoNaIrE iS uH gEnIuS aNd hE hAs MuH bEsT iNtErEsTs aT hEaRt! HuRrRrRrRrRr!!!."

2025-03-15 17:19:25 +0000 UTCI know which pods are my favorite b/c I’ll stop listening mid-show to others when a new episode of my favorite drops. This has been DoD. I just realized today Know Rogan must be taking the Top Spot b/c here I am and I haven’t even finished Eli’s poop story yet….

2025-03-15 17:16:08 +0000 UTCEughgghh. I get horrible second-hand embarrassment listening to Elon Musk talk. It started when I heard audio from that Twitter meeting about the "tech stack" being "bloated" and how they needed to knock it all down and start again. Ughhhh it's just so uncomfortable listening to him talk straight out of his rectum because he's So. Goddamn. Bad. At it. You can always tell when he gets slightly panicked and he's been caught making shit up, because he babbles and gets even more defensive and memey. Unlike Trump, Elon does seem to demonstrate discomfort when he's lying. In contrast, it's hard to know if Trump can even tell the difference between telling the truth and lying, or if he just thinks his own stream of consciousness somehow creates reality while he talks.

2025-03-15 17:07:25 +0000 UTCI love the total lack of excitement in the intro. It mirrors how I felt when I saw the name. You guys do great work. Sorry about the topic and the lies per minute you have to debunk.
