"He's doing okay... he and I hang out pretty frequently. He's got some mobility issues and unfortunately some aphasia."

"...But I'm over at his place every week doing readings about the Seven Years War and having fairly high level conversations with him about like the spread of global capitalism in the 18th century. Just not really in a way that is mic ready right now. We'll see... I mean we're working on it. We're making a little progress every week. I see a path, I just have no idea what the timetable for any of this could be, and I don't think he does either, so hopefully updates when we have it..."

He also said they're putting out a book based on the Spanish Civil War episode scripts edited into a nice looking book. Limited run, with proceeds going to support Matt, his recovery, and his family. Preorder available sometime next month.

I'm happy to hear he's in presidential shape.

But I'm over at his place every week doing readings about the Seven Years War and having fairly high level conversations with him about like the spread of global capitalism in the 18th century.

It's super cute that these two just hang out and dork out about history stuff.

He's got some mobility issues and unfortunately some aphasia.

That's what always scares me about a stroke, losing the ability to move and talk. Damn. But I'm glad he's doing better!

may His neurons prune the bad pathways and find new ones

may His dendrites stretch ever further in pursuit of the true paths

All power to our large adult son, may he one day emerge larger than ever

I hope he's doing better with all the therapies he's going through. I've seen too many good people go through that process. I'm always thankful to him for bringing together my great love of history and politics. In a world of narrow- minded specialists, he's one of the few people with the reach to tell the story of human history as a grand narrative. He showed us that the only way we can ever start thinking about the future again is by starting with a narrative of the past.

How could I forget

Hope our large son gets well.

Seems from what I heard from matt's partner amber and now chris, this whole ordeal seems really nightmarish.

I mean I got through hospitals and tests with family members and myself. Even here in the third world corner shit's ultra costly. Not to mention over the top medication. What I mean to say is months in hospital and several surgeries is really heavy to get through.

Anyway all that matters is recovery and relief. Hope large son matt gets all that.

I get knocked down, but I get up again

He's unfit to serve the pod. He really needs to step down. I suggest VP Virgil to replace him.

I love him and I wish him and his family the best.

Hopefully we will one day be blessed by him, but I totally understand waiting (esp w/ aphasia).

We will always have hell on earth.

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

And Hell of Presidents!

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

On the one hand, I’m glad to hear he is recovering. Other hand, mobility issues and aphasia makes me sad.

the only good chapo rides again

Death to America

[–] Crowtee_Robot@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

I was just wondering about him the other day. I really miss him during the election season (RIP Beltway Garage) but I'm glad he's continuing to recover and is still himself despite all the challenges.

[–] Darth_Reagan@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

I'm beating myself up that I missed a live show in my hometown like right before he had his stroke.

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

prayers up 🙏

just the thing needed to wokify our new stalin! biden has his "stutter," matt can have his speech problems and claim disability (thereby making him not just another straight white male) making him immune to woke liberal attacks.

even better if we keep him in a wheelchair like they did for FDR or whoever. put a cozy blanket on his legs and let him do grillside chats like the fireside chats in his third term.

whatever it takes to have matt interred like a mummy in the same way as lenin one day, I am here for.

I wonder if Will and Felix are ever jealous that the CIA didn’t give them the Havana Syndrome also?

[–] RiotDoll@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i stopped listening around the time this happened. Matt pretty much was why i listened at all. I hope he gets better soon

[–] jack@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

They have really good guests on consistently that elevate the show

Chris Mattman

wasn't sure about the book but listening to this last ep got me.

gotta have my cush!

[–] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

His spanish civil war stuff has been amazing, I'm re-listening to the whole thing everytime a new ep comes out

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

I’m excited about the book, and possible CushVlog essays.
