The only guest I really don't like for some reason is Jamie Loftus, which is weird because I like her writing...

Also shouldn't the thread title be some play on his openings? Like...What's threading...my posters!

History podcast thread. The first podcast brought up is actually Hardcore History.

His podcast was discussed pretty often in the history podcast but someone finally made a thread for it specifically.

That makes sense. Thanks for the link. It's tough finding relevant poo poo on this website sometimes haha.

Pretty sure Billy Wayne is my favorite guest. His bleach La Croix idea :discourse: Love Anna as well. Jamie and Cody are fun cuz you can tell how good friends they are with Robert, but they also guest a bit too often.

I’m not sure which of the two she is but she was part of my least favorite guest combo from the Zuckerberg episodes, Jamie Loftus and Maggie May Fish.

Check the OP for what the forums kept rejecting as a thread. I asked if a mod could humbly fix it

Love the podfacts, but Robert's rant about Syria still weird me out.

Best guests are Billy Wayne and Miles Gray. The Trump University episodes with Miles doing his timeshare salesman impression were amazing.

Also, a lot of people that read a lot know what a bunch of words mean and how to use them, but they've not heard them said out loud before or enough, so their stupid pronunciation gets mixed in their brain with all the correct pronunciations and will just jump out at you. Mike Duncan is one of these nerds, but also takes feedback pretty well and is even learning French now, which is super cool for him.

Robert Evans doesn't know how to pronounce petulant, unless there's some bizarre Texas version that I'm unaware of. I don't hold it against him or anything, but it's jarring to hear on recorded media and then I quickly get past it.

I had a moment in the Kaiser Wilheim episode where he pronounced "Verdun" like "Verdune" and I had to rewind it to make sure I wasn't going crazy

I give everyone a big pass for loving up French pronunciation. I learned French and it took me years to get there because it is odd as heck. However, there are a ton of French words that have a standard English way of pronouncing them and Verdun is a pretty famous example, though not often used compared to something like hors d'oeuvres.

He's stated a number of times that he refuses to learn how to pronounce English place names because they're "ridiculous" and gently caress the Crown.

There was some other word he pronounced weird that made me snicker but then I figured I probably make a bunch of mistakes like that but don’t have an audience ready to point it out. Now I’m afraid to say anything :ohdear:

I feel his guest missed her cue when she asked if ‘lickspittle’ is a real word or something he made up. He answered it is a real word and he heard it on the simpsons.

How can you not reply with.
‘It's a perfectly cromulent word? ‘

He has also pronounced basically everything relating to Australia wrong

Edit: I didn't know a whole lot about Kaiser Wilhelm and I burst out laughing finding out that he was extremely horny on main.

I like this podcast quite a bit and robert evans is pretty good, but I honestly think it may have the biggest variance of quality in any podcast I like between its strong and weak episodes.

This is pretty much my take. His early episodes were really really good, with the ones on Eric Prince being my favorite, but some of the more recent episodes have been iffy for me. Like he spends too much time on nobody grifters like Jacob Wohl, and the conclusion to his Manifesto episode was really dumb.

Also when is he going to do Joe Arpaio? He promised he would like a year ago.

The audio really hosed up for a good chunk of the start of the live episode. I haven't finished it yet, but a lot of it sounded like someone pocket dialled me from the show.

Eta: I love the part where he asks the audience to raise their hand if they got their parents to buy them sea monkeys or xray specs as a kid, reveals what those funds went to, then just laughs uproariously at the audience's revulsion for a good while.

I really love Behind the Bastards, It Could Happen Here, and Worst Year Ever. I also listen to Even More News. I'm a fan.

I want an episode on the Semblers, Straight Inc., and D.A.R.E., because I think Robert would do the proper research to fully explore the story.

Even so, Dan and Jordan will crank out three-hour episodes of Alex to mainline, 2-3 times a week (particularly during "busy" weeks in Alex-related news like right now). Speaking as a regular fan, that's daunting even to me.

It’s amazing just how garbage Jerry Falwell’s father was, and yet he’s still somehow better than his son.

yeah. like i can see fallwell where Fallwell senior ended up where he was. He had a hosed up childhood and he was a shithead so he joined the church to get control so he could be a "good" father. i did like that rob pointed out that these sacks of poo poo lie about themselves to make their origin stories better. with senior, at least he actually "believed" in his awful poo poo. junior is just weird bigoted rear end in a top hat who is also a hypocritical cuckold.
