Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

oh man, the worst possible outfit to shart in

it probably wasn't the case, but that was immediately what went through my mind as well

so, parking at the state fair is at a relative premium and there are a myriad of ways to address that. there's a shuttle bus from downtown parking, some charity-owned lots nearby, and the classic "park in someone's yard for cash"

basically people who live really close to the fairgrounds will stand around with a sign, or someone will pay them for use of their yard to do so, and they'll line up cars on the grass. it's usually early in the day, and you just kind of roll the dice on whether it'll be easy to extract your car later. apparently the chapo election team decided to do this, and some asshole arrived late and blocked all the other cars in

it wasn't clear whether someone else in the crowd called the cops or they did (could use some clarification here, I was like YOU CALLED THE COPS?!) but the idea was apparently you call the cops, the cops say it's ok for a tow truck to pull the offending vehicle out of the way. cop arrives, basically says "I don't know man, it's private property, you've gotta figure it out" and finally a bunch of people banded together to just shove the car out of the driveway and they made their way out.

hopefully that segment makes a podcast because it was entertaining. also, I don't think I would park like that in a rental so...

Their Epstein stuff is kind of unlistenable. I also tried to give Brace Belden's True Anon podcast a chance and it was equally unlistenable.

As someone who finds B. amusing in short doses, True Anon is...a bit much. And Liz sounds like she belongs on red scare

the last show on the grey wolf feed where they talked about all the trumpisms that have permanently infected daily speech was very funny

you hate to see it

have been daydreaming of eating at a theme restaurant called "graydon carter's bad food restaurant" with "you hate to see it" as the slogan in a nice script under the name

or maybe, "we'll see what happens"

https://i.imgflip.com/38tet5.jpg

wait, did Trump coin "you hate/love to see it"??

lol i always thought he did but maybe he didn't! now i gotta change my custom meme

i had no idea you hate/love to see it was trump but if so that’s his greatest contribution to culture

I thought it was just mocking corny sportscasters - Trump's thing is more "we love ... don't we folks" right?

Actually I think the originator may be Pierre Louÿs - https://www.wakefieldpress.com/louys_pybrac.html

First published posthumously in 1927, Pybrac was, with The Young Girl’s Handbook of Good Manners, one of the first of Louÿs’ secret erotic manuscripts to see clandestine publication. Composed of 313 rhymed alexandrine quatrains, the majority of them starting with the phrase “I do not like to see…,” Pybrac is in form a mockery of sixteenth-century chancellor poet Guy Du Faur, Seigneur de Pibrac, whose moralizing quatrains were common literary fare for young French readers until the nineteenth century. Louÿs spent his life coming up with his own evergrowing collection of rhymed moral precepts (suitable only for adult readers): a dizzying litany describing everything he “disliked” witnessing, from lesbianism, sodomy, incest, and prostitution to perversions extreme enough to give even a modern reader pause.

however did I never listen to the digcast?

some of it’s cringeworthy in how it’s aged because carl was too right

I’ve listened to a few eps since the Marianne Wmson interview

I’m annoyed by how they (or at least one of them) say “KaMAla” instead of “KAmala”

Will says "rather" weird like "ruhther"

that one that always gets me is will saying "august", as in "impressive", the same way as the month

lol

xp hrrrm I do not actually know how to do that one correctly, it seems

definitely a strong “i’ve used this word before but never heard it spoken aloud” vibe from these guys but it’s fine

the entire kamala pronunciation thing is something that probably deserves practice but i’ve heard enough variations among people who should know that I can’t care

at this point enough people have mocked them for it that I assume they throw some extras in just to be annoying

I heard three people introduce her last year, heard her speak, and still flub it sometimes

I have a friend who does the “hah, I’m never going to get it” thing after learning a new name once and it irritates me to no end, though

English needs accent marks

I still maintain that Virgil is the worst Chapo, he's constantly killing good riffs with overly earnest "actually, I disagree" moments

I've done a 180 on that opinion

seeing them live, he's more of a quiet moderating influence and kind of pushes things back on track as necessary

Virgil is best when balanced by Felix.

like on the carl diggler podcast!

oh this should be fun

And Introducing
#58 "9/11 IN MUSIC!" (ft. Matt Christman)

https://soundcloud.com/and-intro-pod/58-911-in-music-ft-matt-christman

i like 'and introducing' quite a bit

"SoundCloud rap" with Felix was fun. I haven't heard many others. "Meet Me In the Bathroom" book one was funny for just how cool they find all those guys. what else is good?

that episode of and introducing is great, thanks

I’d completely forgotten this limp bizkit music video connection and hooooboy

Matt being a Cake superfan is unsurprising.

will is a Fall fan 😁

Been enjoying Trillbilly Workers Party a lot, and the latest covered Tarence's new piece for the baffler on the grift of appalachian revitalization. Haven't read the piece yet but it's here

https://thebaffler.com/salvos/hollowed-out-ray

I dont think I ever mentioned how endearing it is on Street Fight that they just rip bongs throughout lol

I love that the Chapo subreddit is now just an unofficial Trillbillies subreddit. (I became a patron a few weeks back.)

Michael Brooks (and to a lesser extent, the Majority Report) has p much replaced Chapo for me. none of the insufferable nerdiness, seems more knowledgeable, they're funny/not self-serious, and they're really good broadcasters and speakers, Brooks in particular.

yeah, I also prefer Brooks/MR to Chapo. I've never understood the lack of interest around here. I guess people find Sam Seder annoying.

the new premium ep is extremely my shit.

the trump era has made most of these evangelical freakshows from my youth still hanging on seem kinda quaint but man when the these profoundly venal strains of American conservatism combine like a dumb horny voltron... 😙👌

I watched all the episodes of The Righteous Gemstones that have aired so far before finishing that podcast episode and... it's good

I went to a southern baptist elementary school from k-8 that used text books printed by this crew https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abeka and I'm surpised I came out of the experience in one piece.

Brooks is good (and I actually like the background people they have on there quite a bit ), and I tend to like the guests. I'm more ensconced in youtube world than podcast world though

Matt Lech's podcast is good too (Literary Hangover)

On a related note, we talked to Jake Flores and Sara June of Pod Damn America/MeansTV fame(?) about podcasting as not organizing, that dang Joker movie, and the problem or relying on media to try to re-engineer the world

https://m.soundcloud.com/givingthemic/57-propaganda-is-good-ft-sara-june-jake-flores

for real the last 15 minutes of "the righteous falwells" with them riffing on American-style Protestantism and the McBride/ Hill trilogy should be taught in every political “science” and religion class in America.

between JFK and EWS they're the ilx film club lately

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Will or Matt spent a week or two as an ILX poster in the Bush years.
