Description: 434 days... of MISERY. So sayeth The Rock! He's coming for CM Punks championship, tick tock!

It's actually impossible for that Steiner promo to get old.   I could listen to it forever.

Bo Dallas' slow heel turn on NXT is seriously one of the best booked storylines I've ever seen in wrestling, and it seems like so few people watched the whole thing.  Just watching the fans turn on him and his ego getting bigger and bigger month after month, just to see him win the NXT title by smashing Big E's head on the exposed turnbuckle in the spur of the moment, for his theme to hit with the first words being "I'll do anything it takes to make it".  Genuinely amazing.

I think its say that The Rock is The Ass.

I was in the crowd. The pop for Jericho at #2 was one of the loudest sustained cheers I've heard for anything.

Shawn Michaels won in 1995 and 1996, so even Austin was the first back-to-back winner.

Yeah, Del Rio face turn was dead when a week or 2 after his turn. They had John Cena and the other faces gang up and murder him for running over santa.

I can never trust that Kefin hasn't inserted the words 'pipe bomb' into every promo package with CM Punk.

as a Dubliner, this is just too good, love it!

Foreshadowing the 24/7 Championship, eh lads?

Steve and Jason run head long into a swamp of historical inaccuracies!

353 - James Bond in “Equestropussy”

"Calls for Transforming Police Run Into Realities of Governing in Minnesota," cautioned The New York Times in 2020. "Democrats Face Pressure on Crime From a New Front: Their Base," claimed the paper of record again, in 2022. "How Biden’s recent actions on immigration could address a major issue voters have with him," announced PBS NewsHour, republishing the Associated Press, in 2024.

There’s a common ethos in Democratic politics: Do what’s popular. In recent years, a certain class of political pundits and consultants have been championing so-called “popularism,” the principle that political candidates should emphasize the issues that poll well, in everything from healthcare to labor, policing to foreign policy––and deemphasize, or sometimes outright ignore, the ones that don’t. 

It seems reasonable and democratic for elected officials to pay close attention to the will of the public–and, in many cases, it is. But it’s not always this simple. Far too often, the leading proponents of popularism, chief among them Matt Yglesias and David Shor, only apply the concept when it suits a conservative agenda, ignoring, for example, that 74% of American voters suppor​t “increasing funding for child care,” 72% of Americans want to expand Social Security 71% of Americans support government funded universal pre-K. 69% of Americans support Medicare for All and so on and so on. 

More often than not, leftwing agenda items that poll very well are never mentioned meanwhile that which polls well AND aligns with the interests of Wall Street and other monied interests, we are told is of utmost urgent priority.

It’s a phenomenon we’re calling on this show Selective Popularism, the selective use of polling and generic notions of popularity to push already existing rightwing and centrist agendas without needing to do the messy work of ideologically defending them.

On this episode, we look at the development and implementation of Selective Popularism, exploring how this convenient political pseudo-analysis launders the advocacy and enactment of reactionary policy as a mere reflection of what the "people" demand. 

Our guest is journalist, writer and host of Jacobin's The Dig podcast, Daniel Denvir.
