Is Nick reading that book on LBJ by Caro
It's so cool how boomers are now basically iPad babies with political content
It's true Boomers are way more into shit posting on social media networks than any younger person
This is so far true it’s not even funny
--Always has been --
It's actually really sad. I know boomers who straight up have uni degrees who fall for it hard just because they watch it all day long and not because the arguments are "good".
Had a job watching a bunch of boomers essentially every boomer is considered disabled because of how unable they are to take care of themselves. I mean I’ve worked with former lawyers who are now poor and on ssi for no reason besides poor life choices
Their dads should start a podcast

I just want to see how close Nick's impression of Adam's dad is.
"Our Gay Sons" episode 1
They should touch tips too

Caro's LBJ is one of the most incredible series of books I've ever read. It'll make the point "LBJ brought electricity to his rural Texas community" by spending 100 pages talking about why the farmers of 100 years before were false in their optimism that the land would be fertile, and how physically exhausting a woman's daily housework was without the aid of electricity before even talking about how he actually brought them electricity.
This is the best description of a Caro book I've ever read. And I do not reading those 100 pages in the slightest
@@mikewhiting7600 To introduce LBJ's role in the senate, he spends like 1/3 of one of the volumes giving an exhaustive history of the US Senate from 1789 to 1948. Another volume has an exquisite introductory essay about how if he hadn't learned how to steal elections in the most filthy way possible in a completely corrupt system, America would probably never have passed a single piece of civil rights legislation between the end of the Civil War and today. There's another one about how he spent his entire life cultivating the nickname LBJ, on the thought that FDR had set the standard for making your initials into an iconic quick reference, to the point where Lyndon Johnson forced his wife Claudia Alta to change her name to Lady Bird Johnson, and named both his kids and even his dog (Little Beagle Johnson) LBJ names, all in service of getting people to call him that, and the ultimate result was him as president, unable to sleep because protestors are screaming, "Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?" It's complex, thorough, well-written, and beautiful. A series that deserves a couple weeks or months of your life to obsess over. And the first volume came out in 1982, and the last volume isn't even fucking out yet. Caro, who's now 87 years old, was slowed down because covid prevented him from spending time in Vietnam. Anyway, I know exactly why Nick Mullen is obsessed with him, and he's totally right
I’m finally getting to them after it being on my list for ages, and he’s really awesome. I’m only like halfway through Path to Power as well.
@@craigrussell3062Also the many stories of him just bullying people into voting his way on the Senate floor.
@@craigrussell3062
It's amazing spending all that time to try and ape FDR then end up a one-term president who could only give speeches on military bases because anywhere else would be an assassination risk
One of my all time favorite Texas sentate elections
My dad never voted once in his life, I remember when 9/11 happened he said "who is that guy" when bush came on the TV he forgotten the previous election happened and thought Clinton was still president, my mom got him a smart TV and in that kitchen its all tucker carlson all the time now cause of the YT algo
Your dad sounds cool
Bush is a nazey
That's madness that your dad didn't know who the president was for part of his life. Your dad is almost like a hot blonde chick or something.
Simple as
Hell yeah dude
El BJ? I got one of those in Mex.
1:01 the Adam arm-scratch copy is truly so gay
Bugs have been known to imitate
You sure have the ultimate queer eye
dude why did he do that im struggling to understand
@@neomarioismbody language mirroring - he’s rizzing nick
Im saying this not even as a joke but this is a very gay thing to notice.
Unironically they should have a Dad's episode
I don't think he's at that part of the biography yet but the story of how Lyndon B. Johnson stole the 1948 senate election and the story of Coke Stevenson is incredible as well.
The books are great because they just build up these complex and interesting and honorable figures and then Caro is just like "and here is how LBJ ruined their life"
@@fungusbrain1martin💀
At least with the last 2 a lot of the figures who got their lives ruined have been horrendous people
@@fungusbrain1martinmade me apprentice how much of a drama queen and baller LBJ was
@@fungusbrain1martin lmao
@@fungusbrain1martin The Leland Olds chapter in Master of the Senate made me so mad I had to stop reading the book for a while.
It’s insane to learn history about where I come from, from these 2 gentlemen. The gays never cease to amaze me.
Of all the video titles on RUclips, this is a memorable one
It's gotta suck to have an MSNBC dad instead of a Fox News dad. Shane was right.
didn’t know dad is gay
Newsmax parents beat both

1:03 “Scratch your elbow if you are gay”
This is a great story I that learned about researching the history of LBJ a while ago. Awesome hearing the two cum boys talk about it.
Caro’s series on LBJ is so great. Dallek’s lone star Rising is also a little more readable if you’re like me and wanted an introduction to him without reading like 3 volumes. Also made me apprentice LBJ so much more as a man.
@@nickt1295 given how he knowingly covered up JFK’s murder, i do not appreciate him as a man.
They aren’t cum boys anymore this is a legit center left gay podcast now, show some respect
@@nickt1295what I appreciated about LBJ was when he found out Nixon committed treason to win the 68 election he secretly recorded him & others talking about it.
I wish he didn’t order them to be sealed for 50 years so people wouldn’t lose faith in the office of the executive but still.
@@conzmoleman No he didn’t. Zero evidence whatsoever.
Always chasing the algorithm
Young LBJ looks like Bashar Al Assad
Who must go?
Bigger dick tho. Put some respect on Jumbo's name.
There's a piece of great American literature in that 5-part Caro bio of LBJ, and Mullen alludes to it: the chapter in the first volume called "The Sad Irons". It's about 30 pages describing the utter and endless TOIL involved in ironing a shirt. Yes, in 1910, filthy Texas farmers cared about starched collars and sh!t. So, first you needed water - gotta go to the well, dozens of feet away from the house, and lug a heavy bucket to another, larger, bucket. Do this a few times, then boil some of the water you lugged over ... oh but wait, you might have to chop some wood to heat up your old-fashioned Ben Franklin stove. If you're lucky, wood is already chopped and waiting for you that day. This would be the case, of course, if you made everyone breakfast earlier that morning, meaning these weren't the first set of water buckets you've had to haul from the well to the house that day. By 2 PM, the inside of a farmhouse in Texas, in August, was probably 200F. I swear, anyone who thinks our time sucks needs to read "The Sad Irons" from that LBJ book. Ever wonder why women looked like hags at age 30 a century ago? Daily hard physical labor because of lack of electricity explains it. Hours of toil was reduced to a fraction thanks to running water and electricity. Which came late to rural central Texas, by the way - the 1930s!
i like the idea that this is all nick’s delusion as he sits asleep in an empty studio
South Texas is wild y'all I live down here
Nick Mullen is my favorite gay political historian.
Richard Simmons was my favourite
@@hoggers7572too soon man
my dad buys a new TV like every five months, dads love TVs and they love watching TV
I like that they're talking about deep political lore, I hate that they seem to be kind of stupid.
Geez MSNBC dad is the worst kinda dad
I cant even imagine. That would be hell.
My Dad was a conservative man from Texas his entire life, but near the end he started talking about Climate Change and it deeply bothered me.
Psyops
This election and the entire era gives me hope as a nigerian that elections can get better
I’m deep in the LBJ rabbit hole, this is a good listen.
"Goonies" theme
Best movie evvaaa
I want to make a policy statement. I am unabashedly in favor of gay men.
Lyndon B. Johnson
more like Lyndon B. Suckin
This is the afsp i look for
I love the way they talk about their dads lol
Lyndon G Johnson.
OMFG! These guys dads are the opposite dad from Shane’s joke 😂😂😂
great clip
Maximilian Friedland is such a strange name😂
looking at the map the southern counties of texas were like 90% for johnson in 1941
Sad to watch my favorite comedian come to this
More history stuff
If i ever heard my dad express concern over climate change it would drastically reduce the amount of respect i have for him as a man.
i swear nick told this exact story about his dad over a year ago so this wasnt a recent phone call lol
Lol nick was raised byba cnn dad
Ohhhhhhh, Nick Mullen's dad is gay . . . . It makes so much sense now!
I wasn’t expecting a boring history lesson from Nick.
😢
LBJ is a legend!
Propagandas working on the old MSNBC dads
*Hottest summer in history*
So did something like HAPPEN with the climate?
Recorded history
TRUMP PERPETRATES COUNTLESS ATTEMPTS TO STEAL THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
My dad thinks Trump is trying to mess with democracy lol
I'm voting for Trump because Texas Senate race 83 years ago.
Best state in the country
Adam persisting with his laconic irony laugh in the face of something interesting bc he has no talent
Haha.. wait but election rigging is literal Russian propaganda. Wait but.. but wait but wait um but wait um but um wait
These are the guys with ‘MSNBC dads’ that Shane mentioned in his special.
These poor guys
The Trump will be king people are the craziest to me, I would be impressed if Trump was able to live the next four years much less set up a monarchy.
Nick Mullen's dad sounds funny, has he ever been seen?
The climate change near the great lakes a serious thing because if the lakes dont freeze over the storms that go over the lakes or comes off the lake will all be blizzards.
Im suprised these guys arent gay. MSNBC and dad are two words that arent meant to be together.
Its hot af. It didnt used to be like this.
Who would've thought Nick Mullin's dad could be such a female.
Not nearly as funny without Stav’s laugh!
shouts out to my gay dad
Nothing is sadder than a liberal dad
Awwww
Obamas campaign did almost everything you just discussed as absurd 😂
I scratch my forearms and shins when I’m on certain schdrugs like Nick is doing in this video. Did he relapse
calisse que vous etes drole mes crisses
Eww Nick has an MSNBC dad.
1:11 Cute Adam alert! :b
i wonder how long before TAFS realizes that graphics/edited video might be a good addition to all this boring shit they're saying
If its boring you think graphics are gonna help?
good point
Yeah they should put subway surfers footage on the side
What is Nick's investment in making excuses for Trump? None of his examples are similar to what Trump did
What did Trump do?
Oh boy we got another closeted homersexual
