    Syncing Up

    Matt Klinman is a comedy writer (The Onion, Funny or Die, Adult Swim), Ethan Strauss is a sports writer (The Athletic, ESPN). They are two long-time friends who started their careers on the internet but keep finding themselves having conversations about how the digital world has become increasingly cancerous, bleak, centralized and lame. Is Facebook destroying the internet? Is Twitter destroying politics? Is Instagram destroying children? Is this false dichotomy destroying rational arguments? Whatever is going on, Matt and Ethan have found they keep talking about Tech vs Media and in ways they haven’t really heard anyone else: like (somewhat) normal people would. Or at least how people who care about comedy and/or sports would. So that’s what we are recording and releasing in an attempt to get other people to also start having these same conversations… before it’s too late?

    The Work and The Jerk Dec 12, 2022
    Show notes

    Matt and Ethan are back for some reason! We're talking tech (what should a post-twitter social network look like? what is up with this new one Post? what is amazing about Gab!) we're talking sports (is it a liberal psy-op??) and we're talking I dunno other shit. It's the first Syncing Up for like a year and there is no explanation for the gap! Soak it up pals!

    Ep 12 - Pure Internet Oct 07, 2021
    Show notes

    Doth your feed deceive you!?!? NO! Syncing Up is back! Matt and Ethan couldn't let this massive week in the tech media world go by without arguing about whatever the fuck bullshit they go on about! Matt gives his solution to the Facebook Crisis and Ethan "Substack" Strauss fishes for compliments AND GETS THEM!!! Its just the kind of jam packed episode our now long dead fans have been clamoring for!!

    Ep 11 - Ban Us All Jan 15, 2021
    Show notes

    The Great Deplatforming has occurred and Matt and Ethan can't help but argue about it. Can Matt convince Ethan this is actually good for BOTH SIDES of the argument? Can Ethan convince Matt he's an unwitting pawn in a neoliberal cabal? Will they finally solve everything or is all this just a futile expression of ashkenazi interruption culture?

    Ep 10 - Gabbin' in the Parler Nov 18, 2020
    Show notes

    The boys take a tour of the HOTTEST new social networks on the planet Gab and Parler. Plus they argue about censorship and argue even more about tech's impact on the 2020 election. As President Obama would say "Stop The Steal!"

    Ep 9 - Know When To Hold 'Em Oct 17, 2020
    Show notes

    Twitter and Facebook block a story and become the editors we've known they are all along! Antitrust is on the ballot! And Matt and Ethan get into it over the whole NBA Finals ratings thing! The boys are back and give no discernible explanation for being gone for so long nor do they give any explanation for the cadence of new episodes in the future! It's a new Syncing Up!!

    Ep 8 - Muskegee Airmen May 23, 2020
    Show notes

    The boys talk Red Pills, act in a manner offensive to vaguely eastern European people and Ethan tells the tale of his time at Yelp.

    Ep 7 - FRAUD May 13, 2020
    Show notes

    The boys get into it over fraud and the media and tech and media and fraud and media and tech and tech and tech and also media. Plus a great song!

    Ep 6 - THE RETURN May 04, 2020
    Show notes

    Matt and Ethan are BACK! Ethan talks about his new book "The Victory Machine," Matt talks about BUILDING and both of them desperately search for meaning.

    Ep 5 - The Yang Gang Storms The Keep Mar 12, 2019
    Show notes

    Matt explains what the hell is going on with Andrew Yang and 4chan and why it's important. Ethan puts forth his micro-generation theory. There are also rants about age gating the internet and Facebook's new plan to ruin messaging like they did the internet.

    Ep 4 - All Things In Moderation Mar 01, 2019
    Show notes

    Matt and Ethan are back to talk about the bombshell Verge report on moderation at Facebook, another take on moderation from SlateStarCodex, why maybe all this mod is just showing us the internet is being organized wrong and some observations about Bay Area Billionaires from Ethan's latest reporting piece.
