Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

Then it’s good news that the people behind many of the things you disapprove of are pretty cool with NK now.

Really want to see a movie based on Unit 684 from the John Wick crew.

what would happen if you were able to merge the US and NK in a reality warping machine?

we’ve got a 41.9% obesity rate, which makes me wonder if someone already used such a machine to divide a hypothetical country into two in our world

they would cancel out any redeeming features of each other and it would be the most horrifying dystopia imaginable

well, that’s one take

NK: hey, they have a low BMI at least

what would happen if you were able to merge the US and NK in a reality warping machine?

the UK

authoritarian nanny state stripped of any non-punitive or notionally egalitarian commitments... rampant capitalist development without any dynamism or social mobility... state enforced for-profit cult over a hereditary elite whose crimes put the kims' to shame...

shame is v out of style everywhere tbh

Forget about Liz being weird, fuck this guy

Oh man, just seeing that Bill Russell died, a legend of the game who at his prime could not make a modern-day G League team.

long-winded excoriation of left-wingers who didn't have a strong reproduction rights stance in recent episode, I guess we'll see who's on the show in the future

I'd love another April Fools (was that the holiday?) episode where the significant others take over. Katherine's fun!

Yay! You guys won!

I’ve never understood the Liz Bruenig hate & am sad to see her leave Twitter.

“read the whole conversation on twitter”

HARD NO

Live Chapo show in Portland tmrw evening, first one in four years. Let’s see how this one goes

Liz Bruenig appears to be back on Twitter, The Silencing has ended, save your tears

She’s been harassed into deleting again. For the sake of her mental health, I hope she takes a proper break from it, as much as it sucks to have to say that.

xxp did you go, kingfish?

Yeah. The second half was a reading series on the “buying property as self-actualization for women after breakups” helped by Kath Krueger and Amber Rollo as guests. Ex-Simpsons writer and current snacks podcaster Bill Oakley joined to talk about the three-course meal of sampled local dishes that the hosts ate.

Pretty good show.

Was this the Slate Culture Podcast?

Matt sounds pretty sober for an Inebriated Past

xxp nice! I liked the episode where Kath and Amber took over and I was a Mission Hill fan so I'd be excited to see Bill tbh

cool stuff

Already deleted. Although if you're emplyoying Tucker Carlson I don't really see why you would baulk at a predator.

Also Bill Kristol is catholic now??

How many "reading those articles sounds like my version of hell" responses did they get before the tweet went bye-bye?

"think about hell" otm

Guess we know the answer to "Where's Virgil?"

Virgil finally providing a guide to Hell

Virgil finally providing a guide to Hell

dasha has been DFA'd by the catholic church to clear space on the 40-man roster for virgil texas

from his parents' massive house or did they kick him out yet xp

much research to be done on the concerted right wing wooing of cancelled leftists but I'm far too queasy to do it myself

if it's a mistake on their part it's funny they chose someone so perfect I mean this would be the logical direction for him wouldn't it

Chapo plus Trillbillies is a good combo. T&T bring more warmth and humanity to the show but still have the wit to match with the Chapo guys, but Trillbillies alone can tend to get a bit too drifty.

yeah, agree on all points

Crossover! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmNdTFbrNoE

First Desus & Mero now

I didn’t want to do this on a show with a guest host (This week is Matt Christman) so I’m doing it here pic.twitter.com/C7qZhP4iyB

haven't listened in a while, what happened in August?

Brett had a manic episode and had to be hospitalized.

TrueAnon series on Synanon and the troubled teen industry is pretty harrowing so far.

Yeah, I haven’t heard it yet but from what little I know of the history, there’s a lot of _dark_ shit that went on

lol they made the big time

Christman chatting with Rania Khalek about the state of things in his usual florid style:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clnCGGUSmxQ

don't know if it's Christman's mic or connection breaking up the past few eps but goddamn i wish they would fix it

please do less comedy bits with your friends and more reading articles and yelling

Made it 8 minutes into the latest one, absolutely unlistenable.

Another annoying episode where they have good guests on a good topic but then won't shut the fuck up enough and let them talk. Matt in particular needs to show that he already knows everything, which is completely beside the point when you are interviewing someone. I mean I know it's not an "interview" show but can we just hear the pleasant voices of the people who researched this subject and not your irritating rants for once?

Felix does it too, and even Will got really long-winded with "questions" that weren't actually questions just him stating his own opinions.

The "Bogus Beggar" episode of Trillbillies is extremely classic
