Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

OG3 was always the best chemistry, not sure why they kept fucking with the formula

Yelled at for all being white dudes + lazy. Easier to split the “work” five ways.

Good bit if Virgil and Amber are still getting 20% Patreon cuts for no-show podcasting jobs.

Felix and Virgil should unexpectedly bring back the Carl Diggler podcast in 2023

For some reason when I think of the Diggler podcast it's just the 2,000 Year Old Man bit with Virgil as Carl Reiner and Felix as Mel Brooks

taking on ticketmaster, this always goes well

my god adam mckay brings out the worst in them

Producer Chris is starting a podcast/music festival co-op

I mean, anything is worth a shot when it comes to supporting musicians and venues I guess

New premium with Jacob Bacharach v funny and v mean but still oddly touching

Shoulda made it a free ep. good content to share w non-listeners

Hunter and Joe are the farce to W and HW’s tragedy, including the fall of a favored older son.

Blowback is good and fun.

I mean, yknow, "fun"

It was funny watching people on Twitter get mad at Slate for stealing the idea of doing a podcast about the Iraq War from Blowback. Imagine if there had been two books about the Iraq War!

I saw more people getting mad at the framing (poor poor CIA just got tricked!).

don't think i am physically able to finish listening to the Jake Tapper article.

unfortunate that these dudes ran with the kamala's book given to refugees story that was completely false

it's been sad seeing some online leftists eagerly spreading right-wing disinfo about Dems (see also the "Biden Loves Wall" story whose only source was the Washington Times). am I right that the sole source for the Harris story was Breaking911? embarrassing

beyond foreign policy the chapos mostly haven't been very strongly anti biden so far

melts

They’ve ceded the reliving the primaries forever lane to Bad Faith.

I've never engaged in the slightest with these cunts since they seemed to think using disablist slurs was so so edgy, bunch of fucking arseholes

in our country, calling someone a cunt is insane misogyny so idk

that is a bad equivalence seeing as women use it just as much as men over here whereas the disablist word is unequivocally ugly everywhere, and with all due respect .. fuck your country.

fair

sorry if I was a bit brusque mh, but I thought you were about to start a "let's do lawyer-routine on the r-word" challenge.

Cmon now guys. Fuck all countries.

yep

Ok then maybe dont use it on a board American women post on, asshole

Giving you ‘asshole’ as preferred alternative btw

Not british enough. “Wanker” is a really funny and good one imo.

Tosser also good.

Is nonce too serious now?

Let's ask Elon Musk.

“pedo guy”

hey President Twat, fuck your country twice!

I am wounded

I don't know if the Chapos still use the r slur but they did when I was listening regularly and tbf it was super shitty, an instance of their sneering at lib sanctimoniousness spilling over into just being assholes for the sake of it.

The fact that the reaction to calz bringing that up itt was this whataboutery is nagl.

I'm probably at fault here to some degree as well really - I should had adequately got this out of my system by now and took the better option of ignoring the thread forevermore!

I didn’t mean that as whataboutery as much as I was poking fun at calz, which made our following comments that much funnier

Primates as types of guy was good riffing.

It's too bad that more podcasts can't do the ALAB thing of just releasing eps whenever they have time and feel like it - every episode is enjoyable and consistent whether it's light or heavy.

also I am beginning to suspect that podcasts are generally more enjoyable when the hosts' day job isn't "podcaster"

I’m reminded of something Tony Wilson wrote in his book on Factory Records, about never fully quitting your dayjob because you’ll detach from regular people and become like Bono

looking forward to bono trap house

releasing podcasts whenever you have something to say does not build you an audience. people just want their scheduled chatter on tuesdays and the fridays even if the quality wavers.

I am aware of the perils of the "release when you have something to say" model

Ask Glenn Danzig

Chapo adjacent podcast And Introducing is currently doing a very fun Our Band Could Be Your Life series of episodes, although if you've read the book, there's not a lot more going on, but fun to hear people chat about it. Felix is on the Replacements ep.

Regular pod releasing when you’re a one- or two-person operation can be a very difficult process
