      I think this is similar to Fetterman's stroke, and it'll take a while before he can communicate normally again. The vague details they give on the show seem to indicate that he's understanding what's happening well (and making them laugh intentionally), which I think is a good sign.

    I'm gonna guess this will be similar to Fetterman's recovery where it takes some time for linguistic processing to come back fully. Give my man mic and throw this stuff directly into my ear canal.

      It's difficult to communicate what you're seeing with your third eye

      He's 100% joking folks. Incredible post-stroke posting too, he's still got it

    I'm just happy he's alright. He was pretty much the only reason I kept listening to the podcast. The Megan McArdle episode where he just starts screaming will forever be golden. Stay gold, ponyboy.

      Matt had some sort of very serious medical issue. Haven’t heard from him in a 2-3 weeks until now.

        It's most likely a stroke. I think linguistic ability takes a while to recover. His wife and Felix quote tweeted this positively so I'm gonna guess that it being nonsensical isn't a bad sign for his recovery.

              Everyone seems to have noticed a few hours later so I think he snuck a tweet out at three in the morning, which I'm taking as a good sign that he's recovering fine.
