Are you subscribed to BAREBACTRIAN? Are you giving Basil a little cash? Just as I make the case for a vote as a single point of consecrated energy in this banging episode of BareBactrian, so too is it true that a little bit of cash directed in the right direction is sooo much more than “patronage”–it is an expression of GRATITUDE, of WILL. It is a TRIBUTE, a token of your appreciation. A way to CONSECRATE YOUR SUPPORT for someone who consistently sticks their neck out in order to say what the silent “dissident” majority is thinking. If you enjoy Poolhouse, if you fancy yourself a backklashista, then you in fact owe Basil. Because I would not still be here without his support, friendship, and leadership. We are each other’s mentor and pupil–what a beautiful thing! When you support BareBactrian, you are supporting the backklash network. plain and simple.

This is a great episode, ngl I think they are all incredibly fire episodes, even the ones without me, but with friends of the show like Biz, Oso, Q, A, KB etc etc. But this one is brimming with piss and vigor, that rides upon the newly consecrated vibe that emerged from a most satisfying Election Night 2024.
by the way…at the end of BareBactrian S4E5, I make a reference to Bon Jovi as a retort to Basil referencing Belinda Carlisle…this comes from the classic Orbital live remix edit of Halcyon On & On from 1993, which is an early “mash up” from the o.g. rave era:
BAREBACKKLASH. Don’t worry about how it is not a real show or think tank or whatever. All you need to know is that me and Basil ARE THE FUTURE.
