Is this podcast just three dudes saying "cum" a lot as rebellion against the PC police, because that's what this interview makes it seem like

Yes, but it's three smart dudes making cum jokes along with layered Marxist references. Imagine clerks if all the characters were poli sci grad students hanging around a lovely apartment playing UFC games on Xbox.

This was the first episode I didnt really like. Felix writes an article and they spend the episode hashing over the thing I read last week. The Vietnam allegory was kind of fun, then they drew it out with the Iraq war and it died. Meh.

First episode of Frost/Christman is out on the Chapo feed now. It's a movie podcast with Matt from Chapo and Amber A'Lee Frost


haahah did not realize this. Saw an interesting tweet re: Leto yesterday . . .

I grew up with a single mom and food stamps. Yeah he's repeating a line, but gently caress that line needs to be repeated. When "food stamp president" is used a slur, we need celebrities and anybody else with a mic in front of them to normalize their experience and validate that loving struggle. I sure as hell needed to be told as a kid that it was going to be alright, that you can climb out of this.

the first ep of Frost/Christman was great but holy poo poo that audio

Yeah I enjoyed it for the most part. A little rough in the beginning with the audio quality and the talking over each other. Also, maybe both people need to have seen the movie they're discussing?

(Also, for some reason if you tweet bad things at anyone who was heavily involved in Gamergate--Chu, Brianna Wu, etc.--it's pretty much an auto-suspension for some reason.)

Is that what got him suspended? What's the story?

Well it's not the only reason I listen to the podcast I generally like the informative conversations that inform me about the American political events and narratives while cutting through all the layers of bullshit from the right or from liberal media. I really also enjoy their sense of humor.

Also, to me John Stewart is a human void who doesn't really have beliefs beyond never standing for anything not rocking the boat. I find him deeply unfunny. Whereas Chapo actually have opinions and make a good case for them through a mix of informed commentary and acerbic humor. So I get something out of them unlike Jon Stewart.


Oh? Why is that? Did he mention something?

John Stewart was never the magic of the daily show. It was the writing and the format. Nowhere else could you see a clip of a politician saying X today and then a clip of Exactly-Not-X three months ago.

Nobody gave a poo poo about his borscht belt imitations

Freeway Ross Douthat posted:

This spirit of political-cultural rebellion is obviously crucial to Trump’s act. As James Parker wrote in The Atlantic, he’s occupying “a space in American politics that is uniquely transgressive, volatile, carnivalesque, and (from a certain angle) punk rock.” (The alt-right-ish columnist Steve Sailer made the punk rock analogy as well.) Like the Sex Pistols, Parker suggests, Trump is out to “upend the culture” —

Makes me want to unearth GG Allin and have his corpse poo poo and cum in Ross's mouth.

Best episode of the show so far.

They brought on an actual comic, excuse me, "humorist" and they're show was way funnier than usual.

They should abandon the woke zoo crew idea and turn themselves into the woke Chelsea lately with a rotating cast of comedians

Also, Arthur Chu remains a horrible person

bob avakian's stupid cult closed down the bookstore they ran and now there's no socialist bookstore in chicago.

Did you get anything out of it? How much of Bob Avakian's thing is just celebrating Bob and how much of it is thoughtful critique.

The weird thing was my dad is a dyed in the wool libertarian. I saw lots of commonalities in the true believers on both sides of that particular divide. I knew who Huey Newton and what COINTELPRO was before I was ten.

Best thing I got out of it was that it was a very self-paced, experiential touchy feely kind of place. Got to learn at my own pace. Never took a standardized test until I had to take one to get into a private secondary school. We spent a lot of time outside. As much as I don't dig on the RCP, I really like those ladies. Practically like my other moms.
