I Think Less of You Podcast

We’re back! But who knows for how long… summer is rough, y’all. We are going to have a few more weeks of spotty posts based on summer schedules, but are happy to be here today talking UK politics, World Cup, beach vacations, and more. Should have another post up this week, things might get spotty around the 4th and then mid-July. Thanks for being here and as always we’d love any and all comments h...

Today we talk a major political scandal, a friend, Spencer Pratt, Lee being open to being bought by companies, and more.

This one is kind of all over the place… we recorded at night so some of us were a bit more chaotic than normal. (Some of us being me.) The tweet Lee references about a random man in Los Angeles yelling at Hasan Piker over his dog abuse: At the end of the podcast we make a little plea: leave a comment! We hear that you’re listening, but comment here - let’s get a chat going! This helps us be seen b...

Its the first podcast of summer, so a little programming note, as it were - both of our kids are out of school for the summer (and Courtney is mid-moving across the country in August chaos) - so we might only have one episode some weeks. Apologies! To check out Courtney on the Walk ins Welcome episode with Bridget Phetasy (so so so much fun to do!) find it here: This is a public episode. If you'd...

This one is both political - in we’re talking Massie - and the church sense, as we switch to Orthodox drama. We’re not really diving into religion on this though, just outlining a major scandal that took place last week and the reaction/fallout from it on twitter. We recorded this before Massie lost, but he kept things as classless as we expected last night. The second part of the podcast, we dip...

I annoy Lee (and likely, each and every one of you) with my weird Eurovision obsession on this one, before we go into Chud the Builder, schizo podcasters on the right and why the left is never asked to answer for their bad actors, and onto Childrens tv shows, natch. A little Eurovision background: Eurovision started in the 1950’s to bring unity to postwar Europe - and now is sort of a cultural pow...

Give us your TV/movie recommendations for movie club! Comment below… especially if you have any favorite episodes of the Hills, since I am going to make Lee watch a few episodes. The Metallica take on Zorba the Greek in Athens I mentioned… This is a public episode.

We’re both back to normal recording conditions for a really fun discussion about a small town in Nevada and why Lee wants Microsoft to take over a dying resort; how we both love art deco; whether Courtney is a snob; and other foolishness. At one point I bring up a Fallout cookbook I forgot to text Lee, here it is: AI produced show notes: 00:00 - Community quirks: waving stories and neighbor intera...

I’m still fighting a losing war with my lungs, sorry you can hear me coughing nonstop through this one - but I did figure out how to mute my mic so you couldn’t hear me repeatedly blowing my nose.

Very sorry, we talk over each other a LOT on this one - Courtney’s internet was horrible, and we had a big delay, as you’ll be able to tell. Courtney’s internet cut out about three times during this recording, but hey, we got it done! Next week is going to be spotty at best but will be providing a LOT of cool stuff from our still-a-surprise location (Courtney is helping a business launch their soc...

This one is a bit all over, but takes a very international angle as we discuss Hungary’s upcoming elections and what hype to believe, the double standards of getting involved in American elections - and chiding Americans who get involved abroad, as well as some discussion on the shooting in RI and a little light talk about Casa Bonita. We’re going to try to get another up this week but it might be...

We’re a bit all over the place on this one but started talking with women on social media looking to flee the Trump admin’s fascism in… Spain and Portugal (?), and onto the Eileen Gu Olympics controversy, then to VP Vance’s visit in Armenia and why Courtney doesn’t care if it bothered Turkey. I called Eileen Gu a snowboarder, not a skier, but take that as a sign of how little I think of her -C Wha...

While Courtney was watching the US women play Czechia this morning, we decided to record an episode. Sorry, we kind of talk all over each other in this one, but go from Olympics to Iran back to the Olympics and how Courtney told a US Ambassador to calm down… and a hard right turn to GLP1’s. Please leave your comments and or chats on substack- we want to hear more from you after these, it is the mo...
