To be a little charitable to ERB, I think the “Hitler vs Vader” matchup made a little more sense in the context of 2010, when Hitler and nazism at large was understood as a kind of “generic” evil with little to no political content. This was pre-Alt-Right era; no one thought ANYONE but skinhead assholes would identify with Nazism. Hitler was cartoonishly evil in the popular imagination, not conceivably human. That’s why putting him against a fictional character like Darth Vader made a little more sense back then

How the times have changed... it's awful to contemplate how much of a Utopia the Obama years feel like from today, which is saying a lot given the wedding drone murders and giving trillions to the banks while no one could find an entry level job.

Too bad Cleese couldn’t get Maher onto the dinosaur hour

I always have this background bias that Luke and Will are much older than me, and then they mention cultural touchstones like the cow email meme, and it's like huh, I guess not

The best thing ever was when someone on reddit circa 2010 finally got sick of the stupid Chuck Norris jokes—on his birthday—and mentioned he is an asshole. Then everyone made anti-CN jokes the whole thread, my favorite of which is Chuck Norris installs DRM rootkits on the laptops of sick children by binary alchemist.

Not sure if you two listen to Bryan Quinby’s Guys podcast but you’ll be either excited or disturbed to learn that Chuck Norris joke guys are still at it.

Yeah everything y’all say is correct about these being toothless and corny but I was born in ‘03 & watched these from the time I was 9 years old until I was like 13 and still find some of them pretty catchy and get them stuck in my head. That being said, it’s insane to me that they’re still making these

Pouring one out for the boys for dealing with even 3 minutes of this garbage

I think the time has come to organise a Committee of Podcast Safety and make terror the order of the day amongst the Superdelegates.

Subscribed for this episode. ERB was a huge and shamefully formative part of my formative years, and though I've grown out of it - bundling it in a fasces with How It Should Have Ended and CinemaSins to leave in the past - I've never put it under the microscope before. Thanks for the work guys
