783 - Dream Hoarders, LLC feat. Madinah Wilson-Anton (11/20/23)
To celebrate Joe Biden’s 81st birthday, we’re joined by Delaware state representative Madinah Wilson-Anton to dish about all things Delaware. Rep. Wilson-Anton leads us through Delaware’s legal peculiarities that make it ripe for international corporate malfeasance, her personal experiences with Joe Biden and his “think tank,” and some tales of Delaware politics, ranging from corporate crime, feral senate dogs, chip thievery, and lots of casual racism.

Madinah also did a hunger strike in DC this week for Palestine, genuinely based politician
Medinah for prez / 4th mic please
Madinah is dope.
Madinah should join the show.

Please make her Matt's temporary replacement. She is fantastic!
Madinah was great I hope she doesn’t get thrown under the bus for the sake of a bund of crypt keeper Delaware good old boys for talking about how stupid our leaders are
Make Madinah a regular correspondent please.
She wasn't that funny and also actually works as a state rep.
Russell Dobular of Due Dissidence had a great article about the issue of these "culture warriors" now returning to destroy their masters like Frankensteins monster. I think it summarized this bizarre position we find ourselves in well. At least until we have Matt back to help clarify these issues.
Let’s just hope they don’t fall back to being reactionary libs once 2024 comes around. Somehow I think Trump derangement syndrome will come back around.
Madinah has real potential to become Gossip Girl for the Delaware political scene.
What is fun about this interview is that usually proximity to power nurtures a sympathy with this power imbalance until you develop pod-john brain and are talking about how Obama did his best and we all want universal healthcare but take this tax break on used band-aids. She seems to have gone in the opposite direction, which is refreshing.
This Rep is spilling a ridiculous amount of tea for someone so close to the party apparatus and I love it! Jfc girl I hope they don’t bury you next cycle because of this but those details are so juicy… I need all of the court drama! It’s like listening to coworker gossip in the service industry except for lanyard losers. Great episode!
Now we need gos from every state chamber.
What a lovely guest.
Notes for Chris: have to find a way to get the bin Ladin letter mentioned and Antony Blinken’s stepdad was Robert Maxwell’s consigliere
“Folks”
She was pretty good tho
jon is the only expert on delaware
Extremely Pynchon fanfic last name
That pause at 50:54!!!😂😂 Chris actually edited that down, it was SEVERAL seconds longer!
All time great guest.
this was a good one
Chapo when they actually manage to find an elected official who can vibe with them are the best
I can think of another major world leader who killed themself while in office not too long ago…
JFK
The obengruppenfuhrer bit is rotating chair worthy!
She's cool
Hold your tongue, Will. Wilmington belongs to the People's Provisonal Government of Philadelphia and the Greater Pennsylvania Republic, one day all of Delaware will be under our thumb. I mean under our cooperative leadership and mutual assistance.
Biden had to name his pets weird military ranks because he used up dog names for his sons. Hunter, Beau, all Labrador-ass names.
She was pretty cool, I hope to hear more from her in the future 👈😎👈
A very respectful “Sup” to Representative Wilson-Anton
What a delightful episode. Thanks, Chapo.
A great guest!! But can somebody enlighten me what the bad "C-word" for Asian people (women?) is. I'll trade a story-- I taught High School in San Lorenzo, California for over 20 years (it's just south of Oakland, very diverse racially) and one year when I had to supervise graduation, our really out-of-it 95 year old school board member attended & commented to us, "There sure are a lot of Orientals at this school!" We were all pretty appalled. Even moreso a couple years later when her 99 year old husband died so she married his 98 year old brother. (Full disclosure, they were Mormon so maybe that's "normal".)

Loved the guest, classic Chapo getting down with the constituency and minutia
I like the guest! It's nice to hear from elected officials who don't suck.
Felix pulled a Matt and scared me during an interview
In FOXCATCHER, Dupont smash Hulk! In Todd Haynes’s 2019 film DARK WATERS, Hulk smash Dupont!
(Not my original joke.)
Madinah needs a permanent guest seat on the show.
Delaware legislature: but run by dogs... hrmmm
This is such a bummer. The last thing we need in this moment is the voices of more Democratic politicians who are just now beginning to question Joe Biden. What's the goal here? Putting on kid gloves to make sure liberals know they don't have to support Israel just because they're Democrats?
As much as I’ve liked this podcast over the years, they’ve alway been friendly to the democrats. Sure they criticize the dems sometimes, but I won’t forget them tucking tail after Bernie lost. Did a three part Star Wars episode and never looked back. They knew they couldn’t advocate voting against Joe in 2020. Also have handled the squad with kid gloves. Tried to criticize AOC once over the iron dome vote and almost got booed off the stage in Brooklyn. They know who butters their bread.
Took me a solid 5 count to think of what C word.
When Will introduced her, I thought he said Medinah Anton Wilson. Like she was Robert Anton Wilson's granddaughter or something. I had to rewind.

Also that argentina guy is already jonesing for the Falklands its very funny not even wednesday yet
man rich people LOVE marrying their cousins, its crazy. Frank and Eleanor Roosevelt being just one example
technically we're ALL cousins mannnnnn whoa what if wealth is inversely proportional to how close of a cousin you fuck, i gotta end this comment here and call The Annual Review of Sociology with this revolutionary hypothesis before I sober up fr tho how crazy would it be to see like how close of a cousin everybody you've ever fucked is, i kinda wonder what's the lowest number i gotten but i think i'm happier not knowing
With charisma like that, this lady's goin places!
Damn, I guess we gotta get Bryan Quinby to do a Delaware Guy's episode
Delaware is a one-stoplight ass town
That's one funny Muslim!
Imagine being proud of the president being from your state. We would give up a president in heart beat to have one all pro at a skill position from Massachusetts.
We would even take an all pro lineman
The thing your guest is talking about where Biden centers himself in every story he tells has a clinical name. It’s called confabulation, and it is, of course, a symptom of mental decline common in dementia patients .
He has always done this. I call it just thinking the whole world is whatever story you want to tell and everyone else just lives in it, and who came blame me for being fucking furious for questioning me. It's pretty common among people who just like to have a good time and get vengeful if someone tries to spoil that good time by, for instance, expecting you buddy to pay for committing sexual assault or causing a drunk driving accident.
I had a very similar college experience trying to get into politics. I was a part of my schools public policy program and worked on a number of campaigns but ultimately had to drop out from that bc it self selects for wealthy kids whos parents can pay their way. The slow realization about how many of my good liberal coworkers were lizards was one of the things that pushed me more leftward.
Been a while since ive listened to a democrat talk about politics. More of the same.
lol
Everybody forgets the end of the Obama presidency when all memes for like three months were about how Biden was Obama’s golden retriever. Biden is doing Obamaface by pretending not to be a neolib.
I think you lived through a different timeline of memes.
On the dog habits, I grew up in rural Austria. My neighbours were an old couple living in a 180 year old house, right on the edge to the woods, with a big garden. They had for generation, even their parents before had three dogs a longhaired German Shepard always named „Frido“ a Great Dane always named „Greif“ and a great Münsterländer named „Faust“. (All plays on German mythology) I often took the dogs out for a walk/run and let me tell you, the tourists especially who I would met on my hike with them would have preferred me having a loaded gun.
When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.
Great guest.
I have a new favorite state-level legislator.
This lady was defending Biden till 2 days ago. Glad she came around but god damn how much of a dumbass do you have to be.
Wow, it’s almost as if values and norms shape a person’s beliefs and it takes repeated experiences exhibiting a reality contrary to those beliefs to make someone change their mindset. Weird
See this? The dirtbag mindset is matriculating into libs and perverting them. A Joe head no less. They are actually getting into office and demonstrating the fools gold of identity political representation. Can you tell a foot's gender in a boot folks? Seriously I don't want to be gay if I cum.
Felix was smitten
Can love bloom on a battlefield?
Good guest fitting outro lol
What a delightful interview! Very funny guest!
She’s one of the funniest guests you’ve ever had. More, please!
That U2 album did have some good songs. I fully support that take.
Make Biden read Minor Detail
Delightful episode folks!
Hilarious
More like Dullaware amirite folks
Madinah rocks

Boo to this guest for saying bad things about corporate lawyers like me.
Jury trials are not helpful for determining fiduciary obligations of the board and officers and stockholders

Hi.............. I'm in Delaware
party on, Jake
Bless her heart
thank you for introducing me to Rep Wilson-Anton, and the story about the EU delegation visiting Delaware was hilarious and chilling in equal parts
At 23 mins. Chapo once again displays their shameful anti-Maryland bias, Delaware would never have been part of New Jersey, if not for disgusting prot supremacy there would be one beautiful Kent county from the bay to the bay!
This is genocidal hate speech
Great guest
Argentina has demonstrated to be the stupidest country on earth. They elected dollar store Bolsonaro like 5 years after he mr magooed through Brazil until he got a new super strain of measles and can't put pants on. They even got to see Milei having a system shock on national television. I never saw a country so headstrong into becoming poor man's 40s Tangier.
Forgive the... caustic nature of the monicker given on SomethingAwful in C-SPAM, but... SLOWSEPH RAPEINETTE GENOCIDEN
"Broad" is hands down the funniest word for a woman no matter what context😂
eyyyyyyyy~
Rep madinah was hilarious. Bring her back more often
4th mic
Guest drops the best jokes. Great ep.
That was actually pretty good for an interview episode. She was actually funny.

Many people are asking Delaware, but not Delawhy, or Delahow
That’s true. Many people are saying this.
Really don't give a fuck about Delaware.
Dang. Sorry about that
Delaware representation on my Chapo what a sight to see🫡 shout out mr celery go hens
this dropped right as I was finishing grilling up a Costco Arrachera Seasoned Steak
This will pair nicely with Ensure.
Sweden resorted to criminals and deserters to populate its Wilmington settlement. The vibe perpetuates.

Here's to mushbrain's last bday!
You only turn 81 once, Joe! Live it up
Happy Birthday Joe!
thanks fellas
Delaware doesn’t even exist
Genocide Joe's birthday cake has gate to hell on top
But he’s so empathetic and good at selfies.
