Virgil got kicked off because he was a true gamer. Just another instance of anti-gamer oppression

Virgil will end up as Sam Seder's cohost.

i don't think he's been on minority report for a while. sam was on bad faith arguing with brie about FTV. stuff got heated and there might be some hurt feelings there. it's weird, virgil mentioned he wanted to do a panel show ages ago on chapo and he used to appear in all these different shows, and now he's barely even present in his own show.

chapo is still very good and trucking along nicely even with amber and virgil gone, but ngl it's a little worse off for him leaving since i think he added to the show in his own way.

he's like the bay leaf in a stew. it'll still be delicious without any, but there is a hint of aromatic subtley that comes with using it

Amber needs to be on the show because the meltdowns about her correct observations let us know who needs to be bullied out of the fandom.

Adam is perfect for cumtown, don't change a winning team. Libby Watson or David Roth would be great chapos.

there is always the FYM guys, literally anyone could be a chapo except for Chet and Aaron because they live so far away

Disagree about Watson/Roth; they only really work well as guests.

Alex from FYM, though - that would work very well. He's funny in a way that is pretty distinct from the other Chapo people.

Virgil (and Amber) work with any combination of the dry boys and they have distinct wheelhouses. they can even run the show for specific topics.

the 5 of them were so great because depending on which Chapo config you got, each episode could have a vastly different vibe. I can't really think of anyone like that except for maybe Brace or one of the Bruenigs

Liz Bruenig would be awesome on Chapo. She's on a lovely podcast with insufferable douchebags now.
