not yet :/ and I don't want to sound too pessimistic, but given his condition I think he's unlikely to be back anytime soon, although I really hope I'm wrong

the boys have been on a good run of episodes lately, though, and I think the pod is still a very fun listen, but it just isn't the same without Matt

I need his startlingly coherent anger right now. This shit in Rafah is bearing heavy today

he's always been a legitimately interesting thinker, a guy who has just the right combination of a ton of historical and academic knowledge and internet brain poisoning to filter one through the other in unique ways

I've been missing him ever since October. The genocide pretty much started right after he had his stroke. His analysis is sorely missed.

Honestly, even if his condition has a rapid recovery, he also has an infant daughter that I'm sure he wants to put more time into that than just podcasting. He was always adamant that podcasting is for loser weirdos and he was embarrassed to tell people what he did.

Very proud of our big mad boy for holding his nose and giving us slop anyway

iirc, after it happened Will said they'd already been preparing for Matt to take paternity leave.

Good. Hope he's thoroughly Attentive-Dad-pilled and prioritizes his family and health. There's a lifetime of hot takes and media slop for us piggies to consume already.

I’m glad they started to bring on Alex on the regular. I enjoyed him on their Twitch channel back when I actually watched it and the man’s just as funny as I remember.

Alex cracks me the hell up
