Summary
Matt and Chris dip their toes into the fetid, guru-infested swamp surrounding the 2024 U.S. election. Straining to see what lurks in the murky depths, they encounter dark shapes, including Eric Weinstein pledging his services to whoever wins (or will give him a call), Joe Rogan conspiracy hypothesizing with Donald Trump, the Free Press hosting a truly heterodox election party, Michael Moynihan pulling no punches, and finally, Jordan Peterson’s shockingly sycophantic psychological assessment of Donald Trump and his cohort.
Join Chris and Matt as they navigate the election discourse swamp and the ever-unsettling convergence of internet personalities and political power, examining how these online figures function like the courtiers of old—gathering around their would-be kings, flattering them with pseudo-profound or sycophantic praise, and vying to secure their place in the new order.
All very cheerful stuff, we’re sure you’ll agree!

| 0:59.1 | his mic. |
| 0:59.9 | So we're relying on Matt not to move his hand during this. |

| 1:07.3 | How do you think that's going to go, Matt? |
| 1:09.9 | I'm feeling confident. |
| 1:11.3 | I'm feeling good. I feel like it's going to go bad? I'm feeling confident. I'm feeling good. |
| 1:15.8 | I feel like it's going to go really well, Chris. Don't worry. You're a worrier. You worry too much. |
| 1:19.6 | Things will turn out fine. You lack confidence. That's your problem. What we need to do is try and locate where you are so we can just send you like a $20 microphone |

| 1:31.8 | I know this is a complex concept, but we'll see. |
