806 - Hero of Wives (2/12/24)
We give our annual post-Super Bowl report rating the spectacle and the ads, including the increasing, and increasingly funny, conservative opposition to the whole idea of “football”. Plus, a review of a tough week for Joe Biden, including a new round of trepidation about his age and fitness. Finally, we look at an amazing profile of Bill Ackman, a man who manages to be such an intense Wife Guy he’s ruined his wife’s life.

Both Kelce and Rife are from Ohio.
For those of you unfamiliar with sports ball . Travis has actually made a noticeable effort to tone down his use of AAVE. You should have heard him a few years ago.
However much T Kelce is or isn’t as much of a “starts with a W” as he once was, he’s definitely still a monumentally cringey d-bag/meathead/bro
Amber
Crab dip is my goy slop
I have a theory that Ludacris got famous bc he has so many songs about fist fighting guys. Also he’s great
I find it important as a physicist to say that Avi Loeb is not taken seriously by much of the physics/astrophysics community.
Yeah for someone who's always talking up the importance of acknowledging human ignorance you think he'd be capable of saying "I don't know." The lazy, didn't-even-read-the-paper way he dismissed "over morning coffee" those Ukrainian astronomers last year who claimed to be capturing UAP position & velocity data—An area he is ostensibly involved in (never mind the goofy alien messiah shit in this article wtf)—was really the last straw for me in terms of considering him at the very least a bracingly curious person who just has a bad habit of saying babyheaded shit whenever he tries to talk about anything outside his wheelhouse. It's not an abdication of scientific rationality to be like "huh yeah I dunno what you're seeing there, good luck finding out more I guess."
Listening to Prolonging the Magic right now and thinking of Matt’s comment that there should be a Cake walking tour in Sacramento. Get better, our large son
Lisa Ann was apparently arrested at the Matt Rife show for ‘using her cell phone’… which sounds even dumber than an intro to a porno she’d star in where she fucks the cop
Major respect to Amber for being so out of touch with contemporary memes that she doesn't know about Dark Brandon. Goals, honestly.
Great ep. Amber can rly bring the funny when in the zone
Ranch dressing!
Missing Matt so much, hopefully we see him back soon ❤️
I thought Felix was exaggerating with his "places are where we've all been" joke, but then I watched the clip. Hoo boy...
So happy Ambers back on a regular basis.
Still excited to have Amber back.
Moslims Rool
prince discussion is very serendipitous bc i just watched girl 6 last night ! top 5 spike lee tbh, and prince soundtrack def doesn’t hurt
Having Amber back is very great! ❤️❤️❤️
The figure from the early Cum Town bit was actually 472
🙏🫡
That non-update has me convinced that Matt is permanently incapacitated and never coming back.
Its very depressing. It must have been a massive, massive stroke. Because some one at his age should probably recover from a mild/mid stroke in a matter of weeks. From his wife's Twitter it seems like he can't walk or talk (hope I'm wrong in that assumption). It's a huge fuckin' bummer. I hope he's making progress- his voice is desperately needed in these bleak times. Prayers Up for the Christ man.
Miss Matt's commercial analysis
This shit was funny. I was walking home arms full of groceries and had to just stop for a second to crack up at the song choice at the end
To be fair to Biden, Mexico and Egypt are pretty similar . Both have giant Pyramids, desert and lots of guys named Omar.
What the fuck man. It was a right low blow shittalking buffalo chicken dip when Matt isn't even there to defend us Midwest Germanic slop eaters.
Bill ‘Vote for the Jew, No Matter Who’ Ackman
The idea that Harrison Ford is a better actor now than 30 years ago, or on top of the acting game in any way, is pretty laughable. Yes he was an extremely talented actor. He still gets paid a lot because he's extremely beloved. But for sure he is past his prime. He deserves a nice cushy retirement and I'd be happy to never see another tired checked out performance dragged out of him again. Leave Harrison alone.
I appreciate you guys acknowledging Biden is clearly senile
holy shit this was so fucking good. i need nick mullen back on this show so bad
Thanks to Felix for saying Kamala Harris is like Amelia Bedelia. That will make me smile all day.
Thank you for reminding me of that - it was pure gold.
is the baby writing the cushbomb tweets?
Bill Ackman's daughter has a whole ass mf thesis on Lefebvre floating in the aether
The GOP really is incompetent. They should have taken Biden boarder deal, chalked it up as a small win, then wined and complained that it didn't go far enough. Boarder is still open and Biden's not allowing them to deport a million illegals every day
They are completely incapable of the slightest bit of compromise. Anything less than getting absolutely everything they want = “Dems are unreasonable”
Any news of Matt's health ?
listen till the end and you'll find out champ
Love Amber so much!
Woo Amber!
Glad to hear from Amber again, as well as good news about Matt.
Amber's book really bombed, huh Please quit having the redscare cokehead that can't even bother to do the prep of watching 5 mins of Biden clips back on. Would prefer a Virgil return over a 3peat
Do you really want all your podcast guests to study beforehand? Could it just be alright to enjoy a different voice while it’s here?
Love the Matt update!
Omg Will check out the baby ankle rolls!!!!
Very funny to hear Felix try to say "we" in reference to Bernie after spending 3 months filling his diaper and screaming at Bernie to kill himself because Bernie wouldn't say a magic word lol. Fuck off lmfaoo
Toilet Sutherland
The crew saying Kamala would do great against anyone is pure, uncut copium lol. Biden will probably win in 2024 but she is toast in 2028, she might not even make it past Iowa again without the Obama 2020 Special
idk kamala sucks but if they get someone as scary to libs as trump in 2028 I think they could use this formula for awhile. Someone new could emerge too
Amber!!! 🥳😍👏💃
You're all nuts. I'm a psychiatrist. Biden has dementia, which was obvious when he ran 4 years ago.
Who else thinks Felix a little hurt that TSwift is picked up, and not him finally showing Miss Swift insides of his apartment as Matt wished lol
Even if he is, that and being spot-on about T Kelce aren’t mutually exclusive
The main thing I remember from the Prince halftime show was how he used his shadow behind the big curtain to create a silhouette that made his guitar look like a massive cock
I just barely managed to not scream out the f-slur after Ackman’s “I wasn’t whiny and no one beat me up.” Profuse apologies to everyone over such a close call.
Amber!! <3 <3
I almost always enjoy the needle drops (I assume it's Chris..) but the Enrique Iglesias sent coffee out my nose this morning... like a boogery, coffee-stained bow on this little gift of an episode. Also jealous of Will for the privilege of Matt making him laugh.
The Christman-Rollo Axis shall prevail. 🙋
Very charmed by Felix’s love for Barbarians at the Gate, he brings it up like once a year since the show started.
I swear he mentioned KKR and i was like wait wtf is the entire Barbarians at the Gate Cimenatic Universe involved in this and then felix barged in lol
Hilarious thing is, Sisi's nickname in Egypt has been "The Mexican" for like 5 years now as a way to avoid being charged with "insulting the president" charges. I belive it started from a meme.
Dark Brandon is intimately familiar with the Arab Street
Viva Mat!
“Where the protagonist wanted to fuck a 17 year old” and who was that protagonist played by? Chin guy Ryan Reynolds
I bought the nike jacket ackmann is wearing when I was 17 so I would look more like a rapper.
Prince appreciation 😩🙏
Respect to Amber for the brief Bo Derrick reference that nobody under 45 picked up
Every generation is convinced that they had the greatest beat-off idols in their celebrity exosphere, but only Gen X was right to think so. Bo Derek, Phoebe Cates in FAST TIMES, those girls in PRIVATE SCHOOL, JUST ONE OF THE GUYS - too many to count. Filth-minded Boomers could get their hands on smut but they risked being sent to jail for the rest of their lives. Millennials/Gen Z have too much access. Gen X? The perfect middle.
Happy to hear Matt is doing well, great episode 🫰🏻
Matt Rife? I'm more interested in a fat wife
Very good
who's the fat bald guy with farsightedness glasses slouching on his chair at the WH press conferences throwing them completely reasonable questions about the war and it makes the reps vibrate and noclip out of the map because they're too nervous to answer? this guy rules
"fat bald guy with farsightedness glasses slouching on his chair" is SUCH a perfect description of him. And he rules, he's like Mr. Binyamin Appelbaum of the NYT and his interview of Pete back when. And 'vibrating and noclipping out of the map' is lol
the 'my wife was unimpressed at me doing the dishes because of bill ackman' tweets are so obviously fake lol like if you think that's something your wife would regularly find noteworthy then her expectations of you are already on the floor, she's not expecting you to spend 72hrs straight tweeting about the SJWs being worse than the mob
“I was not whiny and no one beat me up” is straight out of the Jerkyboys
Love the guy who wants to just recreate Hyperion with space Jews/Palestinians. Hope he gets to meet his messiah when he gets placed on the tree of pain.
Egypt and Mexico: both briefly colonized by a Bonaparte
You always know an old man is about to die when he starts talking about Napoleon
A husband EMAILS her wife that he did the dishes???
DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE will rip your face off
I need to rewatch all of Zahler’s movies. People can’t just die in his films. Their bodies have to come apart. It’s definitely a singular kind of brutality.
if Felix thinks Kelce is a w-----, he's not ready for Maxx Crosby
This was a great episode!! And thanks for the Matt update 🥰 My (second) daughter was born a few weeks after Matt/Amber’s. So, besides being emotionally soft as baby shit these days, I loved hearing that their family is doing well!!!
They install that true coat at the factory. There’s nothing we can do
felix is wildly out of touch, there are more wiggers today than ever before. its just taken a different form
Respectfully, it sounds like you aren’t old enough to vividly recall the few years before and after Eminem first broke
Amber, and every time you complain she gets more problematic
The DNC has good reason to lean on the Dark Brandon thing. They know that arguing his competency or decency is bad ground for them, so they seize on the image of him as an incarnation of the demonic energy flowing through the US political system, which has the benefit of being kinda true. They're like yeah he's a lich, but he's our lich and he's very powerful
"He's a Foggy Bottom Bog Mummy trapped in a labyrinth where no plane intersects. His dogs have Havana Syndrome, and clamour for innocent blood!" On the other hand, who can confuse a Fisher King with a Palpatine?
The wildest thing about these episodes is learning that Amber really was just on an extended hiatus to work on a book
Chris take I suspect can be true… taking care of old confused people… trump strikes me as the confabulatory demented man… appears normal. Joe seems like he could be with it but needs about 23 mins to make a point
I also like that Felix invented Israeli Marathon
Having Ralph Cifaretto be into Gladiator was the greatest psychological insight into the powerful dipshit ever offered.
Buffalo chicken dip is good as fuck Felix is dead wrong.
Neri: Bill, you don't have to keep this posting up, really. Bill: Honey, I do! Did you see this meme that this barely-functioning autistic guy made about how great I was for posting in your defense? Neri: 'Scuse me, Bill, I just need to sample this whole wine bottle.
"Nominative Determinism"??? lmao that shit actually has a name
I first heard that term in reference to a tedious co-worker with the surname “Boring”…
Jesus is a foot guy
Enough with the Christ kink shaming!
The second Avi Loeb was mentioned my eyes rolled so hard I think I sprained something. He's famously insane. There's a ton of videos about him but this is a good summary: https://youtu.be/RD8EiH3wpTM?si=6nbBImyGyB-KRWTq
Avi Loeb sucks balls. Did they mention him somewhere in the podcast? I missed it. Got my fingers crossed that the boys (and Amber) don't somehow believe in Loeb's baloney.
I wanted Taylor to break up with Travis during postgame celebrations
Which one you got your eye on?
yo you cant just spring an enrique iglesias song on me like that I gave a CD of his stuff to my spanish teacher when I was 10 and she completely missed the romantic subtext
Was that teacher’s name Mary Kay Letourneau?
2000-2004 Ludacris had the south in a chokehold and then 50 Cent blew up.
I love that Will is a fan of love on the spectrum. A great show
calling Orban the leader of turkey is so fucking good because you know hes thinking "hahah, country named hungary and country named turkey"
Weren't roman generals kinda sorta antisemitic sometimes?
You’re an ancient Roman general and you crucify ONE guy and you never hear the end of it! Jesus F. Christ!
Amber 💯💯
Nice pfp #freeNFLD
Will Prince stanning is just what I needed today
lol Chris
Talking like a Wigga is funny. But not as funny as Andrew Tate doing his Jordan Peterson act. I mean I know it's Incel whispering but hearing a black guy from Chicago talking like a pretentious Canadian moppet is a bit disorienting.
Have to respect Amber's swagger about her name, 100% correct
I remember I was telling people Diane Feinstein was forgetting why she was in a room and shitting herself (before it was officialy she was too senile to seek re-election) and the response was "I go into rooms and forget why I'm there all the time." I am not advocating monarchy, but I often see how we got there. Some of us definitely have a "place" and it is not making decisions. God bless their soul as some might say. Problem is they are easier to wrangle and get moving which is the first and strongest barrier.
Half time show has been taken over by ROC Nation aka JayZ. There’s a good video on the partnership
Just finished Amber's book. I honestly loved it. Highly recommend.
More Amber!
I know we prolly won’t have Amber back regularly, but it has been really comforting having her back pinch-hitting while Matt’s recuperating.
Amber!
Chris Hemsworth. Although maybe my shared Australian ethnic identity makes him perfectly charming in the Gibson mould.
I had a dream once about a ground up Big Mac meal and McDonalds milk shake being a sauce that Americans started putting on everything. That’s what I went to with the discussion around “goy slop”
detective casey jones investigates the brutal murder and ritualistic posing of investigative reporter April O'neill. His investigation takes him into the dark heart of the cities political infrastructure and into the bowels of the metropolis itself. There are stories of abominations lurking in the sewers and mayor Splinter may even have a connection.
True Detective: TMNT
This episode felt really good. Amber's here, we got a reading series, Matt's doing well, just really good vibes.
It’s okay Felix you can say wigga
I grant him a counterfeit hood pass.
Hacksaw ridge is pretty stupid and bad tbh
I enjoyed it. It was pretty gay tho. Like many of his movies.
Yea Amber! 🤗
It’s true, love on the spectrum is a great show!
Ilsa, Snake Queen of the SS
How many total Will Lisa Ann mentions are we up to now?
He likes what he likes
"Love the Alien" is a) David Bowie's line, b) from a song about the intractable insanity of religious crusades
Indian Canadians love using the N word last I was in Brampton
Matt!
I like this new girl Matt
An amber ep…sigh
This is the wrong opinion
I prefer the dessert marshmallow based salads
Dogshit dip take, Felix. Dogshit.
those fuckin temu ads
It's so weird to see my leftist friends on Twitter posting "Enjoy your football while people in Gaza die!" yesterday, and then hearing that football is actually kryptonite for conservative weirdos.
Orange guy cult > everything, even football
Enjoying sports wasn't on my 2024 bingo card.
FIFTH
Amber!
Surprise Chapo, love to see it done we folks?
Yay!
