They not only talked about the protests plenty -- at least some of them talked about how they went out and joined them.
A big chunk of people who say the podcast blows don't listen to it. They get their impressions of it by essentially playing telephone, which produces bad takes like the above and other mischaracterizations. As long as someone's even close to on our side, we should be accurate about what they're saying before we start shitting on them for it.
For example, Matt talked on his twitch stream multiple times about having just come from one protest or another. This line of critique of the show has never been a good one.
The podcast does have some bad takes, or more correctly it has some good initial analysis and follows it up with shitty praxis recommendations. Like the latest episode where they're like "the Senate stuff doesn't mean anything anymore, ignore it". Yeah, it's pointless, which is exactly why we should be throwing rocks at it.
That said, most of what people here think about the pod is just Amber rolling a 1 on her random leftist take table.
They have some bad takes, as do we all (except me obviously). It's fine to criticize them over that, but let's criticize what they actually say or don't say. We really shouldn't be inventing reasons to be mad at each other.

I think Matt got kettled on a bridge but that's second-hand.
