[Sam Stein]

Stein, managing editor at the Bulwark, and I'm joined by our publisher, Sarah Longwell. And I'm not going to enjoy this video because Sarah and I for some reason have decided that we're going to read mean comments that people have said online about each of us.

[Sarah Longwell]

Two weeks ago, nobody decided this. Okay. I don't. Somebody handed me a sheet of paper with digs on Sam and they were like, you guys are going to do a take on this. And I was like, okay, I guess I'll just read mean comments about Sam.

[Sam Stein]

I mean, there's something really perverse about this because we both effectively, to a degree steer the company and yet we've decided someone's going to make us do this to each other. I don't know why we're doing this.

[Sarah Longwell]

It's just like us making fun of ourselves for the enjoyment of our listeners. So here you go, guys. Merry Christmas. We're gonna roast each other right now like a couple of yule logs.

[Sam Stein]

All right, how do you want to do this? Like tit for tat. You read one, I read one, and then we just sort of react. Should we do that? Yeah, I mean, let me just, let me just level set with people though. And I haven't seen a single thing that Sarah's gonna read to me about me. Sarah hasn't seen a single comment that people said about her that I'm going to read to her. But we have talked to the people who gathered these comments and it was very clear that I'm about to take it on the chin relative to Sarah, that it's much worse for me than it is for her. She's.

[Safeway/Albertsons or MyFico Advertiser]

She.

[Sam Stein]

You don't believe that that's the case?

[Sarah Longwell]

I don't believe that because I also read the comments and if you don't have six of them that are like, Sarah, why don't you apologize every time for being a Republican for so long that you don't have an accurate reflect. Or go over to Reddit where they, you know, that's JVL's world over there, and they do not care for the voters that I show, you know, that I believe are humans.

[Sam Stein]

And let me just one last disclaimer before we get into it. We love our commenters. We love our fans and our haters. I actually. I revel in the hatred. I find it invigorating. As long as it's not too violent and personal, I'll take it. And so hopefully this is done in good spirit. All right, you go first.

[Sarah Longwell]

This is from Mr. Penxx. I'd be disappointed as a sponsor if Sam was reading my ad. Are you bad at the ads? You seem. Okay.

[Sam Stein]

Which ad? Was it the soul gummy ad or was it he takes one before he.

[Sarah Longwell]

Before he does the ad, so he's always a little giggly?

[Sam Stein]

I don't know. So. So gummy. They keep asking me to read the ad. Think they're happy with my content? Maybe I didn't do a job.

[Sarah Longwell]

I think we should do three in a row.

[Sam Stein]

Well, I don't even have. I have, like, three for you total, but go ahead.

[Sarah Longwell]

Lolly. 387 says, how many bad takes can Sam have in one video? Good Lord, I wish I knew what video.

[Sam Stein]

Yeah, I need the context for that one, Lolly. Thank you, but I don't know. What was the video? What was the take I had?

[Sarah Longwell]

All right, to be fair, he does. We all have some bad takes, guys. They can't all be good.

[Sam Stein]

Yeah, I'm like. I'm hitting, like, 50%. I'm happy.

[Sarah Longwell]

Yeah, that's. Those are good numbers. Juden Peterson.

[Sam Stein]

Oh, no, not Juden. I don't know Juden is this one.

[Sarah Longwell]

Oh, this is. This is anti Semitic.

[Sam Stein]

Read it, read it, read it. It's okay.

[Sarah Longwell]

Juden Peterson said. Oh, no, sorry. @ Juden.

[Sam Stein]

Peterstein. Oh.

[Sarah Longwell]

Yeah. Sam Stein in all caps.

[Sam Stein]

LOL.

[Sarah Longwell]

God. Who? I don't want to read this to you, Sam. Who knows spelled N O, S E. Oh, my.

[Sam Stein]

God. Who put this in.

[Sarah Longwell]

The. This is not. Who knows why he has a platform garbage can.

[Sam Stein]

Emoji. Okay, why did we read that one? What was the point of.

[Sarah Longwell]

That? I don't know. Am I supposed to. What am I supposed to do here? I told you, it's anti Semitic. It's.

[Sam Stein]

Bad. I will just say the context is I'm a Jew. All right, I let that one go. I get a lot of.

[Sarah Longwell]

Those. Do you want to keep that in here? We should.

[Sam Stein]

Maybe. I don't want.

[Sarah Longwell]

To.

[Sam Stein]

People. People should know what's on. I'm fine with full transparency. People need to know what's out there on the Internet. A lot of anti Semitism. I'm happy with my religion. I'm happy with my nose. I'll live with.

[Sarah Longwell]

That. You have a great.

[Sam Stein]

Nose. Thank you, Sarah. All right, let's move on. I'm going to read again. I just want to be clear. Yours are, like, half of the one ones I got were, like, people being complimentary. So it's like, not. This is not a fair fight, but I'm gonna read one. And this is. So. This is out of context, because people love what this is. I'm just gonna read it. Susan Winters, dash K6X. Sarah, your hair stylist hates you. You had gorgeous hair. Not so much.

[Sarah Longwell]

Anymore. That's not.

[Sam Stein]

Even. That doesn't represent the. And I'm being sincere. The vast majority of the commenters have been incre.

[Sarah Longwell]

Complimentary. The haircut, they've been pro haircut. But Susan.

[Sam Stein]

Winters. Apparently.

[Sarah Longwell]

Not. Okay. You know, the context of this is that I'm a girl, therefore get lots of comments about my hair when my hairstyle changes, which has been a new experience for.

[Sam Stein]

Me. That's good. I like the hair. I'm gonna do a couple. I'm gonna read these two in succession because they're about the same thing. Barry says, first, how could Sarah not have watched Seinfeld? And Charles says, sarah needs to keep an open mind and watch Seinfeld. Why don't you watch Seinfeld? Is this, like, a.

[Sarah Longwell]

Thing? It.

[Sam Stein]

Is. This is a form of anti.

[Sarah Longwell]

Semitism. It is a form of anti Semitism. Me not watching Seinfeld. I. I almost made that joke, too. JBL was making a Seinfeld reference in a recent podcast. No, I get all the references. I. And also, I did never. I never sat down to watch Seinfeld. But like the Soup Nazi, the. He wanted to. He was doing an Elaine bit that I didn't. That one I didn't know. But I've seen enough of Seinfeld. Like, I get Seinfeld. It's just not. It's not my.

[Sam Stein]

Favorite. Okay, fair enough. All right. While we were speaking, they've been adding some stuff I believe from Reddit maybe. Yeah, it looks like from Reddit. So I have more in the arsenal. But you.

[Sarah Longwell]

Go. You're up. I don't like.

[Sam Stein]

These. Try to keep them. Try to keep them on the right side of the anti Semitic line if you.

[Sarah Longwell]

Can. Is it my job? Because I Just thought I was reading these, but if you need me.

[Sam Stein]

To edit them for reasons I've not seen, I've not.

[Sarah Longwell]

Seen. I do not like that I had to read that anti semitic.

[Sam Stein]

One. I know you didn't believe it.

[Sarah Longwell]

Personally. If you have one there that's mean about lesbians, you have full range to do.

[Sam Stein]

It. I'm looking for.

[Sarah Longwell]

It. This one's just mean but nice. To Andrew Iger at. At fiery picnic. Sam is so bad. Can't you get someone good to interview Andrew? I spent half my time just cringing at Sam's inflated ego. It's really not fair to Andrew, who is actually good. I rarely click when it's Sam's pick on the thumbnail and I regret it every.

[Sam Stein]

Time. I think people need to have the proper context for this one too. Andrew and I have a very great relationship that's built on a little bit of sort of like fun false adversariness, I guess, adversarial ness. But I love Andrew. I just pick on him a little.

[Sarah Longwell]

Bit. There's a genre of the. Of the Andrew tweets. Sam is so patronizing to Andrew. Let him cook or cut him loose to a colleague that respects.

[Sam Stein]

Him. Okay, I'm getting. I'm picking up on a theme here and I'm going to make a resolution for this new year to be more kind to.

[Sarah Longwell]

Andrew. Okay, all right, you go. Do you do too now? Because now there's like a new genre I have, but are just.

[Sam Stein]

Minors. Okay, here's some of the new material. Yeah, see? Okay, before I get to new material, like, the. The stuff I had was like, you know, it wasn't even remotely bad. Patricia Riley writes, I'm not lesbian. I'm not a lesbian. But like Sarah, I find those men repellent. Like, that's not a bad thing. That's a good thing. All right, here we go from. From what appears to be the Reddit's ccbg77 writes, please stop wasting time on focus groups, Sarah. That's why Dems lose all the time. They have to have focus groups. Polls run, every statement by legal, et cetera, et cetera. Then CDNs, A, N D I E54 says, why does Sarah keep presenting the both sides in every situation? Just like msm. Please stop. There's no both sides with this. And then another one says, I hate Sarah. I hate Sarah. Please stop putting her on this show. That's her.

[Sarah Longwell]

Show. Yeah, I got tough news for that guy, which is it's her show. That's why I started this company.

[Rocket Money Advertiser]

Man.

[Sam Stein]

Yeah. I'm gonna get rid of her.

[Sarah Longwell]

Sorry. There's no one to fire me. There's just no one to do.

[Sam Stein]

It. Okay, well, I'm saving a few for. For later. We have. I have a couple more for you, but go.

[Sarah Longwell]

Ahead. Well, these are just. This is. Sam, you can be a jerk. Which is. Which is right in line with. At James Crawford, 6771, Sam Stein is full of crap. And then at John Starrett, 3397, Sam, you're a bit silly. Where's.

[Sam Stein]

Sarah? That's fine. I'll take.

[Sarah Longwell]

That. Hey, Sam, wait until the full sentence gets out.

[Sam Stein]

Bro. Sensing a.

[Sarah Longwell]

Theme. Yeah, there's a lot of.

[Sam Stein]

These. Stop interrupting, you dick. All right, here we go. Some people just don't get the focus group concept. Let's just put it that.

[Sarah Longwell]

Way. I.

[Sam Stein]

Know. Okay. Count Brass. This is from four days ago. I love it. If Sarah could explain what the point is of asking these questions of the stupidest people the electorate. Do you want to address that.

[Sarah Longwell]

One just as a quick. Just. That person votes these. The stupid people vote in jail. They all get. They all get to vote. And so knowing where they are is good for politicians to know. Because just so you guys know, in a democracy, the voters, no matter how stupid, they get to decide who governs them. So that's why I.

[Sam Stein]

Listen. Makes sense to me. All right. Complex minds. Simple man. 6, 6, 4, 2. Simple man with a complex mind says, when it comes to democratic strategy, whatever Sarah is against, I am for. She's always wrong. And then Kowloon Tong says, can we get Sarah is always wrong T. Question.

[Sarah Longwell]

Mark? I'm sure you could make that.

[Sam Stein]

Yourself. I think that's pretty easy.

[Sarah Longwell]

Printing. I think. I think you could do it sometimes wrong. But, you know, I've had a lot of W's on the. On that, but that's. Whatever. That's.

[Sam Stein]

Cool. Do you keep a tab in your head like. Like what you think is, like, the score between you and jvl. Do you have.

[Sarah Longwell]

That? I do. I do. And I would like to tell you some of my big ones since I've got this opening. The first one is I was the one saying, Joe Biden shouldn't run again. Joe Biden shouldn't run again. The voters think he's too old. Because, you know, I listened to the voters, and they were real clear on this. They did not want Joe Biden to run.

[Sam Stein]

Again.

[Sarah Longwell]

Yeah. One, two. My big fight with JVL was over the economics during Joe Biden. I Was like, people don't feel it. They are so frustrated with the inflation. And that turns out, in retrospect, to have been the main reason why Trump.

[Sam Stein]

Won. Hey, you got those two right. What's the one you got the most.

[Sarah Longwell]

Wrong? Well, I definitely. I thought that there was. I used to quote this a lot, that there was just enough virtue in this republic to save it. Sometimes none to spare, but still enough to meet the.

[Sam Stein]

Emergency. You would say that.

[Sarah Longwell]

Yeah. It's a state. William Seward during the Civil.

[Sam Stein]

War. Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I remember that one. You got that one wrong. All right, hit.

[Sarah Longwell]

Me. Hey, Sam. Oh, wait, I already did this one. Sam, what happened? Well, they're all like this. I should just read all of these. Sam, what happened to let her cook? You finish her sentences for her? That must have been with me. I don't know who else you're talking.

[Sam Stein]

To. Is every single comment just. Sam, shut up. You interrupt too.

[Sarah Longwell]

Much. Basically, it is does for from lucky man. Indeed. Does Sam Stein ever all caps Let a person finish a sentence or thought without interruption? Question mark at Gina Rosetti, 7722. I agree with Sam the Interrupter Stein. I'm not comfortable with all sports betting advertised during and possibly at sporting events. Oh, that's a nice one. She agreed with you. She just. You've got a nickname in the.

[Sam Stein]

Comments. What am I supposed to do? I got to stop. I got to, like, literally bite my.

[Sarah Longwell]

Tongue. L for Sam the Interrupter, Utah underscore John. Good Lord. Sam interrupts a lot. That's all I got, but okay.

[Sam Stein]

I got one more for you. I clearly, I have stuff to work on. Oh, oh, oh, this is good because it turns a critique of me on you. William Foots says Sarah talks a lot. Given it's supposed to be George. Explains it all to Sarah. Please stop interrupting George. Whoa. You would think. Has he watched the show? That's not how it.

[Sarah Longwell]

Goes. If you did, like, a thing where you just took minutes of talking time, I guarantee you it is 10% for me and 90% for.

[Sam Stein]

Him. That seems totally extraordinary to me. I don't feel like you interrupt George at all. Okay, I have one more for you. Louise Bolton, 1800, please have Sarah Longwell pronounced Ghis Maxwell's first name correctly. Apparently you can't do.

[Sarah Longwell]

It. Can't do.

[Sam Stein]

It. Can't do.

[Sarah Longwell]

It. What did you Ghisain? I say Ghislaine or I.

[Sam Stein]

Can'T. It's a tough one. That's a tough.

[Sarah Longwell]

Name. If you've run A pedophile ring. I do not feel obligated to say your name properly. I'll just. I can butcher your name all day long. You know what my favorite comment was recently? I've been listening for years and I've never heard Sarah Longwell finish a distinct thought. This is a real thing about me. I interrupt my own line of thinking all the time to backtrack and stuff. And I think that was a clean hit on.

[Sam Stein]

Me. Wait, so you, you have an interruption problem.

[Sarah Longwell]

Too? I interrupt my own self.

[Sam Stein]

Yes. Yeah, that's better than interrupting other.

[Sarah Longwell]

People. In your defense, I do think that Sam has a real TV and reporters knack for. He is trying to get out the next thing and keep the conversation moving quickly. I do think though, for our audience, they would listen to us. The number of people who after our 90 minute TNL the other day were just like more TNL.

[Sam Stein]

People. Yeah, no, I will say just in my defense, that is true. It's like, and especially with Edgar, Guy's got so many thoughts in his brain. I just want him to like synthesize a little bit and.

[Sarah Longwell]

Focus. He's getting his reps.

[Sam Stein]

In. Yeah, that's true. And I should just shut up because the guy's cooking, he's smart, and no one cares for an interrupting Sam. So there's that. All right. I don't have anything really more here in my, in my arsenal. I mean, some of them are just like straight up stupid and mean and I'm not going to read them. Oh, you have.

Some. Wait, you have stupid and mean ones for.

[Sam Stein]

[Sam Stein]

Girl. Yeah, there's a couple more Chaney ones. I think we get the gist. Yeah, I'm ready to. I'm ready to call it quits on this one. This was, this was, this was humbling and important, but I don't want to do it.

[Sarah Longwell]

Again. You didn't hurt me, guys. You didn't hurt me. Try.

[Sam Stein]

Harder. Exactly. The comments are mean enough. Please, let's do better. Sarah, thank you so much. I appreciate it, guys. Thank you for, you know, commenting. Most of you, you do need to step up your hate game. I feel like this was. This was too easy to get.

[Sam Stein]

Feelings. Exactly. That's a thing. It does hurt a little bit inside. I'm masking it. We'll talk to you later. Subscribe to the feed where you get to watch us humiliate ourselves on your behalf. Take care.

[Sarah Longwell]

[Sam Stein]

Sam. Love.

[Sarah Longwell]
