We missed all the horrific SCOTUS rulings. Maybe next week.

[@philliparnold6762]

Nvm. Just listened to the end. Noah, please consult your doctor before doing more episodes.

Y'all made some good points regarding Biden stepping down, but framing it as just one bad debate is pretty wild.

[@gardnerhill9073]

Biden's been doing wonders, and you're ready to throw in the towel because he did poorly on a debate with a liar while battling a cold. Guess what - Berrrr-Neeee isn't going to fly in to save us all.

Have you seen an elderly person decline mentality before; best case scenario it's a steep hill, worst case a dead drop. Kamala is going to end up on the ballot in November.

Exactly Exactly! The dude's brain is pudding. Reagan was less melted after he got shot, Google "Ronald Reagan's signature," like Eli says. Wilson was more functional after his stroke. FDR was Simone Biles by comparison.

The golf thing should’ve been a nice time to get a little dig in. “ hey I’ve spent the last four years, you know, being president and doing work. I recognize that some of my predecessors used as much as half their presidency to not do work and instead practiced their golf, but that’s not me. I’m here to do work. I’m here to fix things, not to play games.”

[@Starcrash6984]

I know, right? No one's going to elect Biden for being better at golf. Why did he defend it so much, as if anyone gives a shit? Such a missed opportunity.

[@richards3648]

I read the transcript of the dabate and based on that Biden actualy came off, well, still really bad but not nearly as "We need to have a talk about grandpa" bad as people think.

[@RayKosby]

They missed Trump's fart during the debate. It's at 2:16:06 right after Trump says "because it was too much money". Listen carefully.

[@dane4265]

not being an American and looking in from the outside, I do wonder if the Democrats are working towards getting Trump elected!

[@LeoBaker-ir3vo]

They're obviously throwing the election for personal gain. They made so much money in campaign contributions and insider trading last time Trump got elected.

Guys be careful about the amount of copium you take in one sitting; this episode comtains near over dose levels.

[@LeoBaker-ir3vo]

It is difficult to get a man to understand a thing when his paycheck depends on him not understanding it. If they were to objectively report on this subject, PIAT would get canceled and Eli would be driving for Lyft while Heath and Noah would be back to juggling bags of dirt.

​@@LeoBaker-ir3voyou being too stupid to understand consequences doesn't mean anything to these guys. You have absolutely nothing of value to add to politics, you're meaningless.

This has so far been the best summary of the debate I've heard. It wasn't as bad or as embarrassing as too many people are too quick to claim. I know, uniting Democrats is like herding cats, but can't we try? Especially when so much is at stake? Biden is a really good (not perfect, no one is) President. He needs to win! trump has to lose.

@@Paulsr7 So you think... Of course, "willy time" is not surprising from someone who still, in 2024, claims "first" on social media. But, hey, whatever floats your boat...
