one big thing amber frost brought to chapo was the ability to do actual confrontation and state serious disagreement plainly. her hate was much purer than that of the rest of them. too bad she is now dead.

For sure. It’s just that trading up after she supported him, moving to LA, the whole thing, it doesn’t look great. I understand what you mean though, I’m not judging people for those kinds of marriages not working out per se, just that when Nick finally got that podcast money the only difference was a racing wheel and a heart condition from too much cocaine.

Amber actually getting mad about things and disagreeing vehemently was refreshing. I think she brought a lot to the show, and the fact that she both moved to LA and disappeared like Virgil is too bad.

Matt’s new wife, I’m told, is most famous for being obnoxious and she looks like the Big City temptress they tell tale of in Wisconsin

Just for reference it's insanely weird to have this strong of an opinion about the narrative you've pieced together regarding the marriage of people you've never met who have never publicly spoken about it

Amber and, to a lesser extent, Matt are the only chapos who ever talked like they had skin in the game. Being a polemicist is fine especially if you’re funny about it, but it’s pretty easy to intuit the difference between someone who’s actually lived poo poo and someone doing politics as a moral exercise. It’s the same with brace where you can tell some episodes are personal for him (most recent especially) and others are not so much.

Not wanting to engage with every dipshit that has beef with them doesn't mean they're bad at confrontation. Matt in particular is pretty good at it if you actually get him in a conversation with someone like that Skullduggery podcast.

Most of the people who vocally disagree with them are super online freaks, which doesn't really make for good content.
