I've been trying to find a clip of Cumtown in which they make a hilarious love song about all the women the singer is going to bang after this track for his current girl goes viral, and I csn't. i think Felix was in the episode, but not sure.

It's amazing how Israel "discovers" a cache of weapons in a hospital which maybe contains the quantity of guns you'd find in an average home in Texas.

I got nothing against Amber but it is very funny and on brand to release a book about dirtbag leftism well after the fact it is over. Say what you will about conservatives and whatnot but they at least strike while the iron is hot.

I like how Amber hasn’t been heard from in like 3 years and as soon as she pops up - a dozen posts in this thread correcting her and criticizing her.

To be fair to the goons crawling out of the woodwork to do so - I’m not accusing anyone of misogyny, as the same bizarre criticism is routinely aimed at the male hosts as well. Just impressed that we didn’t even get more than a couple nostalgic “fat titty Amber” posts before the bullshit started back up.

Personally it was nice to hear from her. I guess if the book gets good reviews I’ll buy it. I bought the last Chapo book too, it was fine. I’ll keep reading that garbage.

chapo is a (relatively) older style of lefty media in that the hosts explicitly reject listening to the podcast as "doing politics". The stuff that arose in its wake, especially the stuff that doesn't regard itself as dirtbag or tries to be more strenuously "leftist" largely, due to the social media environment that's been around for the last decade+, insinuates the opposite: that consuming their media and other left media aligned with them does indeed constitute doing the work and is capital-I Important.

I think for a lot of people who first developed a political identity in the Occupy or Bernie eras that didn't try to actually organize and instead developed Posting is Praxis brain see anything that isn't a reaffirmation of their own politics or palatable reflection on their current political fixation as some sort of betrayal. How dare they say the Richard Jewell movie was good! It was created by a reactionary! Why aren't they doing more episodes about Palestine!? Don't they know dirtbag leftism is over!? But they can't stop listening because Chapo isn't an entertainment product that can be ignored if it doesn't entertain, it's a political entity and they need to be aware and critical to do the important political action of twitter threads or whatever.

However I think with Amber specifically my theory is that you either find her sometimes-abrasive personality either kind of charming or kind of annoying, and for some guys a kind of annoying girl in their favored media is an unforgivable affront.

This is all true and was foreshadowed in the dynamic between Brett and Bryan in Streetfight Radio where Brett wanted it to be usually-entertaining politics and Bryan wanted it to be often-political entertainment.

Episode 41 of Guys - Parasocial Guys

It’s a type of guy who through a combination of middle age, increased time commitments required by family and work, pre-existing social anxiety, mild depression, and lack of an established friends circle tries to find community through an online medium. This guy begins to think of Podcast hosts/YouTubers/Twitch Streamers as actual friends and family and this becomes his primary social outlet. This is ultimately unfulfilling as being a content consumer is mostly a one way relationship.

I would read Amber's book but I already had it spoiled for me that throughout it all, Frost burned the candle at both ends. She kissed a man in the rain at a train stop after he sang her “The Internationale,” and gave herself hangovers that left her begging for death. But all of the late nights, heated debates, and joyous camaraderie was set against the unmistakable sense that somehow, socialism was winning.
