I was at a dinner party recently and I said I never say anything that could be interpreted as controversial, “I self- censor all the time now.” The progressives at the party were surprised. The husband of the hostess agreed with me. It was an odd turn of events. The progressives all agreed they “speak their minds” without fear of consequence. I said “that may be because you only speak to people you know already agree with you.” Silence. I loved WHITE. I listen to the audiobook all the time.
I'm really liking the new format. I think that a video demands more attention from you than a podcast, but in a good way. You catch up on more personal quirks (facial expressions, pauses) that help express the ideas discussed in a better, more realistic and natural way. It feels less... preplanned, I guess. I'm considering this experiment a definite success andI'm really looking forward for more.
Thanks, LOVE the experiment. Great show, and video (with expressions) ads a lot. Would be great to have the podcast easily accessible. Missing it sooooo much. I have no problem paying for content but Patreon doesn't make it exactly frictionless (no apple pay, etc). Anyway, thanks again, great show.
I honestly thought the same thing about society being post racial at the time. then people made jokes about anything described as black, black Friday or back in black or amex black etc, with the silly line "that's racist." and then people took it seriously
Sucks, that even on this podcast, James has to re-iterate far left ideology and tip toe on egg shells. I like money more than what I have to say, too, though.
This is the format this show deserves.
This is the way to do the show.
James is spot on just like his amazing performance in the Rules of Attraction. I'm glad he didn't let Bret overtalk him the whole time.

Yes, this was great. We need more of the Bret Easton Ellis show!
Upvote if you're trying to read all those book titles in the background!
Enjoyed this. Hope to see more.
One of my favorite political conversations of the year so far

Please do post videos! And show us more books in the background.

I love how James is interested in his smart phone, instead of discussing Rosanne.

There's one sucker born everyday.
somehow i got this urge to pop some eliquis right now, idk why
Will the sequel be a comedy called The Baleeted?
Unfortunately these days there are vultures everywhere that pick apart anything and everything. 😐
I think Brett and Brandon Straka would get a long famously.
Hahahah straka? Hahahah nobody cares about that waste of skin.
President Trump was dismissed as a candidate - and that's the primary reason he got elected. America likes the underdog!
And look how that all turned out hahahahahsh

The Bret Easton Ellis Show: Why Even Have A Guest When I Talk 99% of the Time?
Cobi665 it’s called a monologue, look it up. this isn’t instagram or Twitter. Bret actually works on this.

Oh maybe he's actually just got a more mature perspective on some issues?
James looks like someone's eternally single, disillusioned, middle-aged aunt that lives on Cape Cod
He is married and he have 6 kids!
Stop talking.
