Hopefully it is obvious but this episode and the following episode were both recorded prior to the tragic events in Minneapolis and in turn around the country unfolding. We don’t feel appropriate really putting them up and yet they exist and letting them age doesn’t change or help that. So yeah if you need them for some reason then here they are. Stay safe. We are thinking about all of you and hope like us you are taking this time to either get activated or come to terms with some things or whatever it is you need to be doing right now to prepare yourselves for the road the lay ahead. From both Seth and myself. One Love One World One Race. We are all on this space ship together if it goes down we all go down with it. We will be back just not sure exactly how or when. We will keep everyone posted.

I have been on my annual trawl through the back eps and was just listening to seth talk for ages about the tv show cops and how much he loves it.

Obviously just completely random but it felt so weird.

So you better go back to your bars, your temples

That reminds me of the episode after the 2016 election where jonathan mentions that he has friends taking up firearms to "prepare for what may be coming" and through all the cacophony of that national moment it was the one thing that got through and hit me in the gut. :(

798 and 799 are good episodes if you're up for a UYD given everything else; looks like 798 is unlocked and 799 is for patrons at any level. They revisit some of Seth's notecards that were the either material from the first shows or stuff from around that time they didn't cover and it hit really well for me cause I started a relisten like two months ago so a lot of this is fresh in my mind.

Seth mentions being interviewed about his archive by a master's student, I hope to see that thesis or whatever published someday.

Was COPS (the show) really worthy of cancelling? I haven't watched since I was a kid (aside from Seth's clips).

I don't think of it as harmful copaganda like when the local news shows the cops pulling people over and giving them valentines.

COPS should've been cancelled after that cop shot and killed a sound crew guy when he was trying to shoot and kill a man with a BB gun.

cops and livepd both exploit the worst moments in many peoples lives and is absolutely copaganda through and through.

I think he can hear you, Ray.
There's a pretty great podcast about COPS and the lasting damage of it. Running From Cops it's called. For instance, did you know that the police get final edit of the episodes?

I'm guilty of watching because I find people getting tasered funny. But I stopped watching a while ago and after catching LIVE PD I realised I couldn't stomach shows like that anymore. You can't ignore the way these shows are made and what they do to perpetuate the worst stereotypes. In one week recently COPS was on TV 70 times thanks to syndication. That's a lot of perpetuating.

It's a bit of heavy listening but a great podcast, particularly now we know it gets cancelled. They talk to police who have been on the show, the executive who first got it made (who shows up wearing a COPS sweater) as well as people who have been featured on it and it's pretty sobering listening in parts.

I always kind of reconciled it with his love for the more outrageous segments on those shows rather than some poor guy getting busted for a joint.

Strafe those atheistic degenerates. Color them green with lots of holes.
I think it's clear from his tone over the years that he's not some right wing boot-licking cop and authority apologist. He just LOVES the cringe/schadenfreude/'gotcha' nature of watching people get "caught out" in embarrassing or compromising situations on reality TV, e.g. Bait Car ("Bait Life!"), Dating in the Dark, What Would You Do?, TCAP, etc etc. The criticism of COPS as a gross symptom of a wider problem is both complex and justified, so admittedly it's a bad look for him, but personally I give him a pass - he's just a junkie for that kind of TV programming and he takes it wherever he can get it. People are complicated like that

I’d say, after having read the Wikipedia article on it less than one (1) week ago, that Seth just may be an absurdist.

Happy 800 to the boys. Lindsay's 21st being cancelled really was a tragedy.

Listening to some all-time favourite clips. Obvious ones: Seth's crazy wife and Austin Hatch's helicopter crash. Personal fav: the Playboy Adviser glass.
