I love the fact you guys are willing to simply admit when you didn't know a simple fact. The honesty is red refreshing

[CMatthewHawkins]

I am sooo looking forward to a Matt Taibbi memoir on all the things you talked about in this interview. It would be fascinating reading.

[phonkey]

"during that time I was actually playing basketball in Mongolia" 😂

Some people just live life on a different level.

[darcymcfarland]

This is how news media should be. Makes the rest of corporate media look embarrassingly ridiculous

[xeniawoyevodsky]

Congratulations Emily and Ryan for hosting one of the most interesting interviews around. Matt Taibi you are amazing!

[MartyMcTube]

"I forgot about your Mongolian basketball career." If I had a dime for every time I heard that line.

[marktackman]

One of the best Friday interviews yet, true density of value

[cherylbebbington]

“ I got some things wrong” how refreshing

[BobbyRenner-ywzy]

more interesting than all of cable news combined for the past decade

[comradebarbie]

Ryan and Emily are the best interviewers. They're actively listening and letting the guest kinda guide their questions. Great conversation! Mongolian Rodman just has the best stories!

To attend a Soviet college in the 90's without yet knowing the Russian language because you love their literature - Taibbi may have a novel in him yet.

[JoeBeThere]

I worked at Fortune Magazine during the takeover of Russian assets in the 90s. It was portrayed as western business officials from the west helping the post Soviets set up a capitalist system with their expertise and experience. The reality was a kleptocracy.

[JohnLancaster-fhoc]

Interesting how Taibbi admits to being a little snobbish and then understanding people's reaction against that sort of thing in the press.

[jasondoolin]

“In Russia, everybody’s a failure so it worked out for me” 😂

Matt is one of rhe few people in the news business that deserves respect.
A few other: Chris Hedges

[veroniquedelphi]

What a fantastic interview. Matt is fascinating!

[steverMCMLIV]

The hosts are very good listeners and therefore are able to raise the quality of the interview throughout.

[CliveAtFive]

This was an amazing interview -- thank you both for your amazing work. The world needs this!

[FraserBailey-jmyz]

It's great to see Matt here, and it's a reason to watch BP for the first time in a long time. But those of us who follow Matt know all this stuff already.

Rogan told Matt he sounds like Elizabeth Holmes and I cannot unhear it now……….😂
