After the Debate: Trump/Biden and Media Reaction

In this episode of Moment of Zen, Erik, Antonio, as well as two friends of the podcast who prefer to stay anonymous, discuss the disastrous Biden/Trump debate and what could happen after. They explore the state of U.S. politics by scrutinizing Joe Biden's controversial debate performance and its implications on his presidency, as well as reactions from the media and its impact on U.S. foreign relations.

Reasons your podcast does not have 200k subscribers:
1. Bad audio quality often
2. Too many philosophical topics, not enough news
3. Failure to consistently have three guests for a weekly episode
4. Mixing in three year old content that no one wants to watch
You have the opportunity to be almost as large as the All In Podcast as the guests here are just as thoughtful and less annoying, but you are blowing it.

[@dawnfmEnthusiast]

All of this makes me wonder how are there so many ads on this? The viewership isn't huge right?

[@darkerisbetter8699]

The inconsistency of Antonio - late to arrive, early to leave, or not appearing at all - caps the team's potential.

[@navy_tk]

Trump vs Biden more like Erik vs A good camera amirite?

[@navy_tk]

Erik you’re beautiful let the world see

[@thekromekitty]

There is no “THEY” said by the people who are so afraid of those in their religious kabal that they can’t show their faces!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@JscottMays]

Cousin! A warm welcome to the representative of the Neo-Reactooor Tribe! Sarcasm and wit while glazing the popular tribal view helps bond adjacent communities. It gives new comment soldiers encouragement and sense of place.
This is an example for all. Great use of emoji for those new to this arena of late comers to The simulated culture war.
I hope to delve in further with you during this reawakening awakening.

[@stephengulick9485]

why are comments being deleted? People are expressing valid issues.

[@mrRambleGamble]

The faceless lady had a way with words. Hilarious and insightful

[@OriginalMistakes]

Does the female guest have an anonymous Twitter account to follow?

[@atomhartman]

Very much enjoy hearing these kinds of frank discussions I would never get the chance to otherwise hear.

[@variablex864]

Great discussion, Eric!

[@BatmanBoss]

Thanks guys

[@hughjass7914]

Corn-Pop smiles. 🌽 🎉

[@danielmcdermott3366]

why deleting comments?

[@darkovski15]

The ultimate truth is what Antonio said at 23rd minute, is that it doesn't matter who is the president. The US system is so overreaching and omnipresent in the world, that not even a scammer character or a senile senior, can weaken it.

[@4ndy_Mac]

Anyone who can’t put a face to their opinions isn’t worth listening to…

[@dailydoseofnews4828]

Is that Noah behind the black screen? Or someone who sounds like him

[@Escalatortosuccess]

Insane blurry video

[@chickenfishhybrid44]

That's exactly it, the mere possibility of certain things with Trump. People often say "well he said he was going to do this and didn't!" You should complain about that obviously, however alot of these things won't even be talked about or considered with other people.

[@benparks5268]

Is that other person Blake ?

[@SP-ye8hj]

Who the f are these two people and why should I care about what they think?

[@navy_tk]

These are just google L7 opinions
