All right, welcome listeners to episode 135 of Know Your Enemy.

I'm Matt Sitman, your podcast co-host, and I'm here as always with my great friend, Sam Adler Bell.

Hello, Sam.

Hi, Matt.

We're releasing this Monday, May 11th, otherwise known as your birthday.

Great day.

Yes, an auspicious day to release one of our favorite

kinds of episodes to do, which is answering listener questions, a mailbag episode. Yes, and this,

like all the other mailbag episodes, was a total delight to do. The questions are fantastic.

And I had so much fun just chatting about a

million things with my great friend, Matt Sitman. Yes, we have a blast doing these. But I have to add,

you know, we always get so many questions that are excellent and that we want to answer. We can't get

through as many as we want. But we did record two episodes worth,

this one and one for subscribers. And frankly, the one for subscribers, it's not better than this

one, but it's way we hadn't had that kind of conversation for a long time. Like, we were

really lathered up and got into some topics. I'll just say they might surprise you, but also delight you. So if you love hearing us answer your questions, this isn't your only opportunity.

Sign up at patreon.com slash know your enemy to hear the second half of this conversation.

Yes.

And later this week, Thursday, May 14th on the Upper West Side at the Society for Ethical Culture at their venue, we are doing, as we've told you before, our live show, our first ever live show, accompanied by our great friend Mike Duncan of the History of Rome and Revolution's podcast.

It's a fundraiser for dissent.

And as always, there will be information to buy tickets.

In the show notes, if there are tickets left, we're just about sold out.
