I've been going through all the stuff listed on youtube, and I still cannot believe all of the people who complain about CTH's Patreon funding. Like, do they just think they get $5 from random people? Do they look at popular hotdog vendor and sneer at how he's "just living off of other people's money!"?

Weirdly the biggest West Wing fan I know is a self described libertarian who actually believes the Ron Fournier "both sides" rhetoric and was really feeling the Johnson last year because Trump=evil, Clinton=evil, therefore Gary Johnson=good.

Internet libertarians and Ben Shapiro types are the other type of people who think that the West Wing reflects reality. They worship technocracy and think that politics is simply stupid ideologues vs smart fact-using rationalists, and that victory is won via debate club.

If you're critical of capitalism and don't live like a squatter with a bunch of crust punks then you're a hypocrite.

I recently started listening to MBMBAM and there is no greater tonal whiplash than listening to it right after Chapo on Mondays. I wouldn't really recommend it to most CTH listeners but it can be pretty great.

As has been already mentioned, My Brother My Brother and Me is a silly comedy advice podcast by three brothers with really good chemistry, and they never feel like they're forcing a bit.

Since you have an 08 reg date, you definitely should give The F Plus a shot. A rotating cast of internet friends read and mock dumb poo poo on the internet: aliens, obnoxious weddings, conspiracy theories, wrapping Roy Orbison in clingfilm, sex with bugs, Reddit legal advice, dudes who like getting whacked in the nuts, the squatter lifestyle, wikis for Original The Characters, etc. It's got a huge backlog with few clunker episodes, and it's one of my favorites.

Oh no doubt about their libness, which is why it would never work. But it feels like every day I see another lib on Twitter start posting more and more like a leftist, so I have hope that people are changing. Justin's wife Sydnee recently did an episode about health insurance on their podcast and talked up UHC, which is cool.

The episode where they had the Dollop guys on was pretty good, but beyond that I can't think of any episodes standing out. They're all just two girls gabbing about murder.

I just think it would be funny for the Chapo boys to guest on it, because MFM has managed to walk this weird line where they make jokes about actual murders while being completely sympathetic to the victims and admitting that it's weird that true crime is fascinating while also reveling in how much they like it, and it would just be completely destroyed by Matt showing up and being like, "I'm gonna talk about The Butcher of Khuzestan, the leader of an Arab militia that carried out massacres of Qashqai and personally tortured and killed at least two hundred people himself" and bumming the poo poo out of everyone.

The problem would be less about politics and more about the McElroys having completely opposite senses of humor and approaches to life in general. The MBMBAM motto is basically that everyone is special and we should celebrate our differences, whereas Chapo's is more like "everyone who disagrees with us is a smoothbrained oaf who should be imprisoned or executed."

Their targets are almost exclusively wealthy idiots who write/opine in the public sphere about topics like "gently caress the poor" and "let's bomb these guys to show how tough we are" and are rewarded for it with status and money.

They make a lot of effort to hide it, but they have a clear disdain for lovely people, but their #brand is about basically not even confronting those issues except in rare moments when they slip up. The real issue would be when Chapo goes after liberal heroes like Obama and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

I'm being hyperbolic but they have some level of disdain for pretty much anyone that isn't coming around on socialism (though surely exaggerated for comedic effect).

poo poo, just having a guy who casually says "retarded" would turn McElroy types away from ever appearing.

I haven't listened to My Favorite Murder (yet) but another true crime/comedy podcast is Last Podcast on the Left. It doesn't just focus on true crime, they also look into paranormal beings, aliens, and conspiracies, and even when it's wacko bullshit you can tell they put a LOT of time and effort into their research. It oftens sounds like a morning zoo crew, and a lot of their humor is problematic to say the least, but they have some incredibly detailed episodes on the Aum Shinrikyo subway bombing, H H Holmes, Ed Gein, and more.

I do kind of wish they would release the premium backlog at some point. I don't mind paying, but why not let episodes from like 90 days ago be released fo those who can't fit it into their budget?

Wardell is like 28 and makes youtube/snapchat/IG comedy videos for 15 year olds and somehow gets paid actual money for it. As Nick put it, his entire career is copy/pasting from r/blackpeopletwitter and worldstar hip hop comments sections.

It's funny to me, when he goes on cumtown and tries to do the 'comedians bloviating about The Craft' trick when he bombs constantly if 'the crowd' isn't full of teenagers.

the Bradon Wardell episode is acknowledged to be the worst Chapo episode by far to the point where a guest made a joke that bombed during another episode and Will immediately went "Brandon Wardell , everyone!"
