In fairness social media hasn't been around for that long. There was a time we were completely dependent on mainstream news sources to know what was going on in the world. At least you did finally realise- many still don't.

Americans don’t know what’s going on because they’re fed a steady diet of propaganda. The New York Times, CNN, everybody is dedicated to spamming everyone with the Hasbara narrative. Only if you pay attention to alternative media and social media can you discern the truth. Readily and easily. But it took me decades to realize it.

Whispers* I’m sorry to admit I once went to Saint Bartz and then rips Elon Musk in half with his sharp tongue

I loved how you guys let Roger be Roger and scold you both so passive aggressively like a Dominatrix ♥️ and managed to hold it together and have a great episode - so good

James Walsh

That Musk story!

Myrtle Snowball

Are you fucking kidding me right now you guys holy shit!!! What an incredible episode!

Omar Ibrahim

Best quote on Elon

Toby

I love Roger Waters. I remember when he called TYT "the young FUCKS" for casting aspersions at Aaron Mate and that's still what I call them🤣

Lotta

"This guy is a complete fu**ing moron" 🤣🤣🤣 What is there not to love about Roger Waters❣️

Jay Ronimo

We should hold our heroes to account.

Jay Ronimo

Sorry: He indeed said 1779 instead of 1789. My bad. Still, that is quite a minor mistake compared to inventing a recollection of utter silence following his call to tear down the wall.

Jay Ronimo

Well no, actually. A) The French Revolution WAS in 1789. B) He gives the impresssion that all Israelis are fascists and he gives fuel to the Hasbarists. In fact, in a 2011 interview for Riz Khan on Al Jazeera, he remembered correctly that there was an enthusiastic response. Whether the crowd actually wanted to tear the wll down or were just a bunch of "liberal" Pink Floyd fans is another matter.

Michael Leone

Yeah, well, at 54:00 he misremembered that the French Revolution was 79 not 89. Whatever, point still stands.

Michael Leone

Least interruptions EVER! We got to hear a huge amount from Roger. Well done guys!

Jay Ronimo

I love Roger Waters, and everything he stands for politically. I have supported palestinian rights since I was a teenager over thirty years ago. I have always supported BDS. Is that anecdote about the Neve Shalom concert actually true, however? I came accross a recording which suggests otherwise. We hear the crowd cheering to his comments. Is it a fake?

Holy shit y'all got Roger Waters as a guest! Amazing

GC

Oh, this is a good one. (I mean, they all are.) On top of the great stories and incredibly solid and human politics on Palestine (and in general) I could listen to Waters roast idiot tech billionaires for hours. Can you make a Patreon tier where we hear the unbleeped email?

Miss Lizzi

What a beautiful soul Roger has. He Made me cry.

HenrytheWorst

Im fainting right now - squeal!

Mason Pew

Your man knows what's going on!!!

Frida Almaraz

And then I'm going to go listen to Animals, like a good hog.

Frida Almaraz

HOLY FUCK. I squealed. I have been a huge fan of Waters since I was 12. I'm 49 now. Pink Floyd was always my favorite band, I read everything about about them, I still know every song, Final Cut and Amused to Death are still among my favorite albums. I'm really fangirling bad over here. I have seen him live 5 times, 4 back home in Mexico City, 1 in Miami. In Miami, I saw a group of zionists that apparently bought tickets just to fuck with him. And I know that the city tried to mess up the concert. I have always admired his commitment towards Palestine, and it's one of the reasons I have always admired him so much. My mom, who got me into Pink Floyd, has always favored Waters, and she is the one who taught me all about Palestine, back in the 80s in Mexico, she knew exactly what was going on. I was raised pro Palestine and I am grateful for that. She's not going to believe when I show her the screenshot. Thank you so much, guys. I love you. Now I'm going to take a deep breath and listen to the show. Fucking A, Roger Waters. 15 year old me is jumping up and down right now.
