Stewart Lee (UK comedian) wrote a memoir a couple years ago (I'm reading it now), and he talks about how artists have become able to cultivate a dedicated following and make a living without having to be a big national name. You might not have millions of fans, but there are people who like you, and they'll come out to shows or buy your stuff. It's kind of inspiring.

all history should be in one big museum marked AMERICAN MUSEUM, it will be on the back of a semi truck and travel the country 24/7. There will be one small display for literally every group in America and every time period. You'll go from "ENGLAND A DICK" to "ENGLAND OUR FRIEND" to "NAZIS? WHAAAA?" to "ALSO THE BLACKS WERE HERE"

it will cost five hundred dollars a ticket and sell out at trump rallies

this is my dream gentlemen

He is only 3 episodes in. I've been enjoying it though. Unlike many other podcasts he seems to actually have good audio. Each episode so far is under 30 minutes.

First of all, bear in mind that a doctor making $200,000 is in the 6th percentile, even assuming their salary is the entire household income and they have no investment or other income. But that's a good question because working class status also concerns things like your working conditions and precarity, and medicine is a profession that's shifting more and more from employer to employed.

By the way, where does the Dry Boy thing really come from? Because I listened to all the free episodes, I'm working my way through the premium ones (currently somewhere around 55, I just let the playlist run) and this is not a thing outside of Felix's weird multifaceted persona.

I don't think anyone mentioned it yet but David Cross giving Felix poo poo for misusing "literally" was the best because you could tell that was the sort of thing Felix would normally clown on someone for doing on Twitter but it's David Cross so he just mumbles.

I love the cross-section of tabletop gamers in the Call of Cthulhu episodes.

Matt is the newbie roleplayer who genuinely wants to learn the game and be good at it, but whose lack of system mastery eventually bites him in the rear end, ruining the whole thing.

Will is the gamer who develops a complicated backstory for his character and gets really invested in the game's lore and constantly tries to bring it up and integrate it into the actual game's proceedings, then tries to sabotage and derail the game when he's ignored.

And Felix, of course, is the chaos gamer.

It speaks to Virgil's skill that he's able to run a good session with these guys. He's definitely run into similar personalities before, with Matt's situation being especially common.

Why the hell does Matt sound like he is STILL in a bathroom? I thought he moved to NYC.

Are you by chance a fan of the blogger The Last Psychiatrist? The blog morphed over several years from an insider's guide to everything wrong with modern psychiatry to a blog about how baby boomers and generation x have destroyed future generations with their rampant narcissism. He got doxxed in 2014 and abruptly stopped updating, and his internet absence has left a hole that Chapo just barely manages to fill on their best days.

Every time the Chapo crew goes in on liberal media viewing the world as if it were a movie in-progress, I think of TLP.

Here is one possible starting point if anyone is interested. It's about how the Matrix is the perfect representation of American Narcissism.

We live in a magical realist novel that's an extended metaphor about the cultural legacy of colonialism that I'm too dumb to understand but I know enough to realize that someday an earthquake caused by fracking will open a fissure that swallows the Kochs and all memory of their family whole and that same morning McArdle will vanish into a cloud of steam that wanders the atlantic coast for all time, whispering of the estate tax

Outlaw Star actually blended Western genre conventions with Asian spirituality and culture to make an interesting universe, as opposed to just having a bunch of white people swear in Chinese despite there not being a single asian person with a speaking role.

Has the gang ever done anything on Matt Walsh? I feel like they have but I also am blanking on it, but that could be I mainlined Chapo after the inauguration.

Yeah, his guest episode on Age of Napoleon was great. And even if you don't particularly care about Napoleon, that show has a bonus episode on Race and Capitalism that should be of interest to any Grey Wolf.

Lowtax did a guest spot on the struggle session podcast.

As a patreon supporter I recommend becoming a patreon supporter an listening.

Bonus reward is you get to hear lowtax say the n word in a context I think would infuriate this thread's language cops.

Lol at people taking him at his word that he was a lurker. He just doesn’t want to admit to posting because then people would dig up his old posts. I mean I don’t blame him, I’d do the same thing but there’s no way someone like Felix would just read the forums. Now Matt, maybe, but Felix is a poster through and through.

Anyway I'm not saying they're cancelled or whatever! I'm saying this guest was a questionable choice and the episode didn't really justify it, making it a bad choice!
