Yup. I just wrote up my own thing. She's entertaining (at least she was with Matt, I haven't checked out her new stuff - I should, at least once, but the whole drama left a bad taste in my mouth), but she's not exactly a good person.
She's a feminist-lite, and some of the stuff she describes and justifies is actually pretty horrifying. And I'm talking interpersonal stuff, not the 'based and Nazi-pilled' stuff. She has no respect for her husband, barely seems to tolerate him despite him being the one to provide her with her lifestyle, and she's open about being pretty damn terrible in past relationships too. She's an absolute mess. Again, an entertaining one, and I don't hate her...I actually liked her a lot as a cohost, she's hilarious...but she's not someone you could trust, at all. How she portrays her personal stuff is much worse than any edgy political opinions.
It's one of the reasons I will never vote for a woman for political office no matter how based she might be.
Not everyone "based" person has to be a traditionalist, though. But, yeah, the ones who do claim "trad" status are full of shit.
Even beyond the natural emotional and mental deficiencies built into them by being women...
This is the bigger issue. A "based woman" can absolutely run for politics without being a hypocrite...but that doesn't mean people should vote for her.
The new pod has potential, but you have to be interested in the JQ because it's the focus of everything.
They announced last week that The Backlash is moving to twice weekly M&W at 4 pm PST.
I like how they are willing to criticize Trump and talk about third rail issues.
It's a very different show than Matt's old and continuing one. They will often touch on a big story of the week, but it's much more longform, unstructured and conversation-based rather than blasting through news articles & clips.
They are over a dozen episodes in and the tech issues have been pretty bad though.
They seem to be streaming via Starlink and having awful buffering issues.

I'm not opposed to it, but the obsession can be annoying, and counterproductive too. Not sure if this would qualify, it all depends on how it's done. A lot of people who really obsess end up falling off the cliff and turning into retards. And that's not just JQ-related; anyone who has only one pet issue can fall into the trap. And, if someone's message is "XYZ is bad" and that's always the conclusion; not only do I always know what they have to say before they even say it, but they'll also often be wrong, because their only tool is a hammer and they're trying to make everything a nail.
But I am curious, and definitely want to listen at least once, just to see where Blonde ended up post-Matt.

Wednesday?! I expect to hear Matt bitching about that any second. Kidding, by the way. He doesn't seem to want to talk about any of that much at all, but there were always jokes about his show days being his alone.
I like how they are willing to criticize Trump and talk about third rail issues.
Similar to my first point, I have mixed feelings on this. Trump is hardly above reproach, and it would be unhealthy if he was...but a bunch of the "dissidents" who will criticize him fall into the above obsession trap, and it can just get annoying, even if they're correct in their criticism. It's almost always spun out and extrapolated, and they end up acting like Trump is worse than other presidents, just because he did something bad. That logic always pisses me off.
And for people who cast themselves as expert noticers, they have a basic lack of ability to notice how often their rhetoric, both in content but especially in frequency, pisses people off and drives them into the opposing camp. No one wants to hear the same thing repeated every 11 seconds for years, no matter how much they might have otherwise agreed. For every person they've convinced, they've probably driven away 5 more just from the sheer irritating repetition and grating volume they scream about Jews non stop. People push them, and their ideas, away just to get some peace and quiet. It's a wholly terrible method to actually convince people to join your side, but it feels good so they don't care.
Ironically, this also goes both ways. The people who obsess and whine about the people who obsess and whine about the Jews are also terribly unpleasant and retarded, and drive people away from their cause. I'm sure a few names popped into your head immediately.
There's a pretty big difference between people who are reasonable and willing to talk about Jewish influences in a negative light, and people who are just posting happy merchant shit and memeing mid-century German figures.
AFAIK the new podcast discusses Jewish behavior and practices, but it isn't doing so in a "spergy" way. There are a lot of topics, from finance, to politics, to Hollywood, where if you're not talking about Jewish influence you are actually deceiving people by omission.
Ethnic groups do have real behavioral patterns, and Jewish people in particular have a lot of power & influence on American/European societies. If we can talk about African "culture" in America, or Latinos, or Asians, then clearly it should be fair game to talk about Jewish culture, good and bad. It's far more acceptable to do that in 2025 than it was in 2016 and part of that is simply normalizing doing so by doing it, and being reasonable & well spoken.
They're actively false flagging goblins playing the exact skinsuit subversive act they claim to be protesting.
The "reeee joooooos" retards are mostly stormtroopers being led by the nose by globalists. The problems with their autistic fits are deliberately exacerbated by the loudest voices - and those are fakes. The pretense that racial collectivism or socialism is right wing is a psyop meant to damage the right - the goons you mention are either too stupid to live, or in on the game.
I don't want any foreign country to have agents in our government and dual citizens should be thrown in jail for attempting to run for office. I've never had a conversation with an actually intelligent human being that can actually articulate these issues, that would also devolve into "reee JOOOOOO" spergouts. The "people" that do that are fakes.
But I am curious, and definitely want to listen at least once, just to see where Blonde ended up post-Matt
At the very least, Blonde seems a lot happier on air with her new lot. Or is at least doing a better job faking it on air early in their new run.
Personally, I was team Blonde in the breakup.
But it's notable that I've watched most of the new content of her new pod. They just finished Week 14. She's physically driving over to her friend Dave Reilly's home to shoot the new pod in person. Some episodes run 2+ hours similar to the old M&B show and were running similar timeslots (9 pm EST). She's even using the new pod setup at Dave Reilly's house for unrelated guest hits (I noticed she used his setup for a solo guest spot on Stew Peters' show last week).
I haven't heard a on-air single complaint about having to leave early or wrap up for childcare reasons. Which is so interesting considering that was such a point of contention with the dissolution of her old show and was a chronic bugaboo for years.
One of her new cohosts, Vincent James, seems really hard up for money. He seems to be the driving force for their expansion now to 2 shows a week. I've heard him say multiple times on air that his goal is to make it a daily gig.
It will be interesting to see how that plays out considering the more onerous demands of the new in-person show and Rebecca's work ethic issues on the old pod.

That's good. And she massively exceeded my expectations; I figured she'd fizzle out quickly, because she was notorious for not putting in the effort.
Personally, I was team Blonde in the breakup.
I was (mostly) team Matt, but thought they'd both screwed up. He went about it wrong, and got autistic about her hypochondria and injury. He was acting like her real injury was completely fake just because it wasn't as bad as she'd thought...something you don't even know until you go to the hospital. I can see why that would piss her off and hurt her feelings, and Matt seemed unwilling to engage with that at all. So, yeah, I think he was more in the right on the overall issues, but still handled the whole thing terribly and made the issue worse.

I guess she's better when she's more involved, as well as more engaged on the topic. It might be a bit of the 'that which is given has no value' type of thing, where she was taking her part in M&B for granted since it was Matt's project. She wouldn't put in the effort because she didn't have to. Now that she's working on something she helped build, maybe she's a bit more motivated.

Yup, I can certainly see the same thing potentially happening again.
I listened to some of the most recent episode now. It's pretty funny; it's almost exactly what I was worried about, at least in parts.
They're so blackpilled and Jewpilled they can't get out of their own way. Nothing is ever good enough, and everything is Israel's fault and the Jews. Which, as I mentioned, is a self-defeating stance if you think Jews do have too much control. Ranting about how literally everything is their fault isn't going to endear anyone to your arguments, and is patently untrue. There's such a thing as Jewish influence, but it's not in everything.
They blamed Trump and Elon shutting down USAID...on Israel. Because Israel was allegedly pissed off about food aid to Gaza or something, and some weird story about condoms in Gaza. You'd think, if the Jews run everything, the corruption would be more in their favor, and it would be worth some food going to Gaza. It was just a silly argument.
They want USAID shut down...but for the "right reasons," not because Israel said so...which was pure conjecture anyway. Take a win, dudes. Like I said, can't get out of their own way.
Also, Trump should have done more to solve the Ukraine war faster...despite not being president until right about now.
I'll still keep listening to this episode, but I really wasn't impressed. And, as you said, tech issues weren't great, and the whole production had some issues.
Agree on most of this. I've listened to all of their episodes and IMO it's mostly decent, but I almost always end up skipping through Cameron's utter black pilling. He's constantly calling Trump "stupid," which is a midwit take a best, and making the perfect the enemy of the good.
