I had to start skipping like five minutes out of each Ballin Out Super episode. Maybe it gets better later on when they're, hopefully, having repeat guests, but early on when they have a new guest each episode they have literally the exact same conversation with each guest every time. "What's your experience with Dragon Ball? oh no way you also watched it in middle school?"

I kept thinking of how Buckley literally threatened to assault Gore Vidal on live television.

I think I remember Buckley did a similar thing to Noam Chompsky, but less obviously a physical threat, during his vietnam debate

e: nvm I never realized he was referencing his vidal debate

I never listen to BOS but I'm pretty sure Matt was on there a while back and he had no background on Dragon Ball and he couldn't remember what he was into in middle school. This led to his revelation that he wasn't into anime because he was a super civil war weeb instead

It's not really what this thread is about but I checked out the Intercept's true crime podcast Murderville, GA because I realized that it takes place a county away from where I grew up. Given what south Georgia is I have to know at least a few people who were related to this whole thing somehow and it's kinda weirding me out that I had no idea it happened. I'm guessing that's because I was in high school at the time but still.

also it's pronounced AyDel not uh-Del :doom:

He did threaten to beat up Chomsky when the dude was on his show though. IIRC it was right at the beginning of their "debate" and can be found on YouTube.

What's a good and funny podcast to listen to that is similar to chapo? I have a 30-40 drive to and from work each day and there aren't enough episodes of Chapo and Citations Needed each week to occupy all this time. Struggle Session is alright but not as funny as chapo. I've considered old episodes of chapo, but a "commentary on recent events" show like that doesn't work as well when you're listening to people discuss the latest news and tweets and poo poo from 18 months ago or whatever.

One of the stranger experiences I've had was when I went to college in NYC and people constantly commented on my "southern accent." I was not aware of even having a southern accent (I grew up in Memphis TN), and I think I lost it at some point during college because no one (including new people) commented on it after freshman year. I remember being extremely surprised to learn that "cuss" is apparently not a universal word (and somehow I did not realize it was slang for "curse"). I remember this girl thinking it was the funniest thing ever when I said "cuss."

Trashfuture is very funny and possibly even more ironic and extremely online than Chapo. Michael and Us is a podcast that reviews political movies from the late 90s-early 2000s, also very good.

Helsing: Aug 23, 2003; DON'T POST IN THE ELECTION THREAD UNLESS YOU JOE BIDEN

quote:

After dessert had been set aside and Ben had gone to clean up, Buckley gathered himself up from his seat and peered down at us. �I generally take a swim after eating,� he said. �You�re all welcome to swim as well, of course.�

Now that he mentioned it, a swim seemed just the thing. (I imagine practically anything would have sounded like just the thing at that point in the evening.) But then I considered the matter more deeply and heaved a deep and regretful sigh.

�I�d swim, sir,� I said. �I would swim, I really would like to. But I�m afraid I didn�t bring a bathing suit.�

It had taken me so long to reach this conclusion that Buckley had already begun to climb the ladder, and now he regarded me with unconcealed amusement. �Well, neither did I. After all, it�s quite dark out there. And we�re all men here, you know.�

When he was gone, Jaime [a fellow NR intern] and I sat for a moment in silence, the dinner settling in our stomachs and the wine rising to our eyes.

�You aren�t actually going to go swimming, are you?� he asked me.

�Aren�t you?� I demanded.

�Well . . .�

�Well what?�

�I don�t really like to swim very much in general.�

�Well, Jaime,� I said grandly, �neither do I, honestly. But you know, I think there comes a time in a man�s life when he has a chance to say to his grandchildren, I once went skinny-dipping with William F. Buckley, Jr. And this, Jaime, this is that chance.�

Somehow that settled it. We downed the dregs of our wine and went topside, where Buckley was just leaping from the bow, a flash of plummeting white flesh in the darkness. Jaime and I undressed quickly, then shouted and leaped in after him. In midflight, I saw Buckley already climbing the ladder, reaching for his towel�and then, as the cold water shocked me sober, I remembered how poor a swimmer I really was.

�I�m drowning, Douthat!� someone shouted nearby, as I surfaced, spitting salt and floundering. It sounded vaguely like Jaime, but I had troubles of my own.

�Swim for the ladder,� I managed to shout, pawing jellyfish aside, dog-paddling frantically, wondering if sharks frequented Oyster Bay. �For the ladder, Jaime!�

Afterward, Buckley went below to his berth, apparently to retire for the night, and Jaime and I sat on the boat�s bow with Ben, watching the lights on shore dim and the stars brighten.

Matt's ep was best because he immediately does Antifada and has a breakdown because of the lovely anime podcast

I was just recently recommended a podcast in RGD called Astonishing Legends. I'm only a half hour into their ten hour long series on the Betz Sphere, but honestly the fact that they have a ten hour long series on the Betz Sphere is enough to convince me that this is the podcast I've been looking for ever since Art Bell went off the air

I just couldn't get into this one - they were a bit too credulous.

I've only heard one episode so far, but I think they're the right amount of credulous for me. It's not as fun if the hosts don't get into it a little. But without going full George Noory, where you just believe anything and never challenge the story at all.

eh since no one else is I guess I will bite, why is he a fraud

the only comment I see from him about Chapo is a tweet he made in May but that can't be all, right?

Evans isn't phenomenal and I agree that a nominally left-aligned person being Chapo-shy in 2019 is dumb as hell but his shows have radicalized some people in my life in a way that Chapo probably wouldn't reach without Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here breaking them in first
