Chris is a huge goober and I'll never get tired of him acting like producing a pod is legitimate audio production.

Incredible moment in recent ep where he proudly announces the new audio quality and Felix says anyone who notices the difference should die.

drat, Amber and Will know a lot of pornstar names.

If any the pornos they described happen to be real, they need to be added to the Chapo Letterboxd library. I assume someone in the thread is working on this.

Gianna Michael's Big Naturals Vol 12
Big Naturals is a series curently up to volume 75 but Gianna was not in Vol 12

chapo is a (relatively) older style of lefty media in that the hosts explicitly reject listening to the podcast as "doing politics". ...

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.

I went to college with his brother and I remember there being a moment when we were hanging out at Ben's apartment and he had coworkers coming over. Before they arrived Ben pulled us aside and said that at some point in the night we were to say out loud in front of his coworkers that he had such a nice apartment because his dad paid for it. This was to apparently cover up the pay discrepancies between Ben and his coworkers who he said made peanuts compared to him and that if they knew how much he made they would all demand a raise and ruin it for him. Interesting family overall.

Did you say it?

Felix got assigned double-solo-interview episodes to make up for not watching Napoleon, and the funny thing is, recording both of them probably still took a little less time than watching Napoleon would've taken.

I don't like that they went after Ben Shapiro for wearing a yarmulke all the time. That's just his religion, there's nothing wrong with it, just like when a Muslim woman wears a headscarf all the time.

I can see why they took every cheap shot they could at him, after watching a whole movie of him and his friends taking cheap shots at women and anyone who doesn't hate women. These guys don't look back at high school and wish they got laid, they look back at high school and wish they got to be bullies

It's perfectly valid to trash Ben Shapiro's Judaism for the same reason it's valid to trash Rod Dreher's Catholicism-cum-Orthodoxy or whatever religion Jamie Kelso is practicing this week. Their religious observation is downstream from their insane bigotry.

He's an Orthodox guy from an Orthodox family, he didn't go looking for a religion to satisfy his, uh, issues like Rod did. It's just the religion he inherited, it's separate that he is a racist woman-hating freakazoid.

Being a Celtics fan is obviously downstream from the insane bigotry lol

You do not under any circumstances have to defend Ben Shapiro and yet here we are. Lol

I just don't like making fun of peoples' religion. Like making fun of a Muslim woman for wearing a headscarf is bad. Not a big deal but they should all get fired on Christmas.

If anyone is thinking about getting Amber's book, it really is like if she wrote down/recorded like 9 hours of monologues she would've given on Chapo. No argument, no running narrative, just compiled stories and takes. I got it off an Audible.com free trial and it was worth free.

It's a kinda funny idea but not funny enough to make it fun to play over and over if the structure of the game isn't actually fun. Hopefully it's a fun game wearing a fun costume and not a lame game wearing a fun costume, I'm waiting for reviews.

The Starmer-Ice T story that Will reads at the start of the show is just a parody article someone made up on Twitter, it didn't actually happen. We need a public apology from the Chapo research intern and really the whole Chapo team for sloppy journalism.

I think it's a normal phase, maybe an inevitable one, in the life of a radical reactionary, at least one who feels isolated at home - in their final days Hitler and Mussolini were each ranting about how Germans and Italians were actually cowards and betrayers. It's not parallel in every way, but similarly enough, militant Islamists constantly write about how all the other Muslims who don't join their cause are fakers and bound for hell. We all know how Mishima handled it, and Mishima had way more friends than this guy.
