these guys all come from pretty cushy backgrounds right? (Felix and Matt, at least.) walking away from a paycheck probably not that big a deal.

My take on "Chapo truther" is that the episodes that were "eaten by the computer" were actually deliberately destroyed because they were too offensive and/or just sucked
But Brendan's departure undermines this theory. Maybe he was just fired for incompetence.
― it me, Monday, 6 November 2017 19:42 (six years ago) link
...or maybe he just decided to split for reasons he already stated? and who cares either way

didn't Felix say they were going to do another Derek Davison ep on that subject or did I mishear

yeah, he did

I'm gonna be real, I find those episodes a little tough to follow sometimes, a lot of information flying by at a very quick pace
― Simon H., Monday, 6 November 2017 20:01 (six years ago) link
Doesn’t help that the Saudi line of succession is more difficult to follow than the end of the Plantagenets.
― louise ck (milo z), Monday, 6 November 2017 20:28 (six years ago) link
Yes, the lack of evidence for an inclination one weirdly wants to be true is obviously evidence for that thing being true.
Oh FFS what aspect of _any_ of the show gives you any slight indication that this is how it would work? Where would “incompetence” fit into any justifiable reasoning for an action? Matt wears socks & crocs in public with mysterious BBQ stains on them, Felix forgets to talk into his own mic when he’s trying to reference another old HBO drama, Will is soaked thru with upper middle class manhattanite upbringing, Virgil will forget to comment on an episode because he’s watching pro football on his phone for the entirety of the recording session, and Amber isn’t there most of the time.

bummer man. i always like when Brendan chimes in. and i'm not much bothered by the slacker prod values
― constitutional crises they fly at u face (will), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 01:10 (six years ago) link
w/r/t what i said about incompetence- was referring to multiple occasions when they lost episodes & that they continued to use such a precarious and cheap recording setup. im not "the episodes weren't lost, they were TOO EXTREME TO RELEASE" truther lol
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 01:13 (six years ago) link
I attributed the continued shitty set-up just being a core aspect of the group. It isn’t so much that Brendan fucking up would breach some threshold requiring the rest asking him to leave, it more that none of them really know what they’re doing(still). Or how to ask for help, apparently.

i never have any issue hearing or understanding what's being said on chapo. and i literally mostly listen to it out of my phone speaker perched on top of something in my kitchen while cooking dinner
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 22:22 (six years ago) link
damn dude For real though listening thru phone speakers helps a lot when the issue is compression. The most recent guest they had on wasn’t up on the mic enough and I had to turn my speakers way up, just checked & it sounds much better thru my phone
