    Ep 37 // Things are getting 'weird' in the 2024 election.

    Matt explores the concept of 'weird' in the 2024 presidential election cycle, noting the Democratic Party's rhetorical shift from taking the higher ground to embracing something at least a little bit like rage. He discusses the GOP's cultural vibe and contrasts it with how the left is perceived and delves into political dynamics, such as the power play behind using terms like 'weird' and 'bully' in discourse. The conversation then examines the blurring of 'mainstream' and 'weird' in a fragmented society and touches on the relationship of all of this to minority rule, righteousness, and the perception of truth in politics. Matt and Producer J also reflect on how the confrontation of differing realities in an online-driven world, prompting thoughts on healthy societal awareness and the challenge of acknowledging diverse perspectives. //// This podcast is produced by Stereoactive Media. === https://www.mattrubycomedy.com/ https://stereoactivemedia.com

    Ep 33 // Biden vs. Trump Again: So this is what it feels like to be a vegan at a BBQ joint.

    Matt shares his views on the upcoming presidential election rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Maybe, just maybe, it's reality and not the media that makes everyone think Biden is old. And maybe, just maybe, the thought of another Trump presidency, along with the constant shenanigans and scandals we managed to live through last time, is enough to stress us all out all over again.

    Ep 32 // How to criticize Israel without sounding like a moron (or an anti-semite)

    A lot of the conversation around the Israel/Palestine conflict goes off the rails when people start confuse the people for the government or anti-semitism for anti-zionism. So with that in mind, Matt offers some tips to keep in mind if you want to mindfully criticize Israel without coming off as either uninformed or potentially bigoted. Produced by Stereoactive Media

    Ep 31 // The Truth About What Your Jewish Friends May Be Thinking...

    Matt's father was an Israeli who grew up in Palestine back before the state of Israel even existed. He was also reluctantly a tank commander in the Israeli army because he had to serve. Now, Matt brings the perspective of his father, along with his own as he tries to explain how many Jewish people may be feeling in the wake of events in Israel and Gaza this month, which have added yet another chapter to the long cycle of violence in which brutality is disproportionately countered with further brutality.

    Ep 30 // U2 at Sphere is the Nightmare Future of Music

    Have you ever gone to a rock (or pop) show and wondered why people pull out their phones to record it instead of just experiencing it? Well, now there's a place seemingly built just for those people. U2, once a band that explicitly criticized big commercialized theatrics (admittedly while exploiting big commercialized theatrics), recently played at the latestLas Vegas mecca of opulence. And if you were online as it was happening, you could have easily seen footage from it from many of the people in attendance. So, what does this new way of "elevating" live music mean for the future of music, live shows, and the communal experience? Produced by Stereoactive Media
