I'm sure this comes up so often, but what other podcasts do you listen to? I never really listened to podcasts until this last year. I subscribe to 2 Dope Queens, Bodega Boyz, and Chapto Trap House. I'm also a Grey Wolf subscriber. I tried a couple episodes of Cum Town and The Dollop but couldn't get into em. I'd love suggestions!

With politically related podcasts, I've enjoyed starting w whatever episode is right after the election. Any recommendations for specific episodes for Street Fight or F Plus?

Is that an actual conversation w Gorka at the end of the first Gorka ep w Derek Davidson? Also ep 88 is an appropriate number for Gorka.

And where's this Jeet Heer article about the boys? His TL is just full of replies and poo poo

Yeah, however the constant weird "huuuh check out how badass Amber is for eating at a burgershop that's next to a bulletproof glass" fanfiction does take a blow w poo poo like this, and if this just means they outright being upfront about it rather than write bizarre poverty porn about headboards or whatever, that's just a positive at this point. There's a point where you write stuff like

Also, lol at the freedie reply down there.

I'm a bit slow brains right now, but the tweet is absurd because the $150K figure is split amongst several people plus taxation after the fact, right?

I mean ultimately, I'm not gonna fault the CTH folks for being successful. No matter what, their level of success is never gonna reach the level of millionaires and billionaires loving w politics, short of some major cultural sea change. If their lives are a little less lovely, and I'm able to better understand and contextualize my disdain for pundits or neoliberal policy, then I'm happy!

Joe's great all around. I've known him since I was like 11/12 and he's been loving fire since the beginning. The Andy Rooney game was super ahead of its time! That was a great episode, in part because Joe can hold his own AND he's a fan of the boys.

President Wario has the whole thing about spending 20k on locking mechanisms for Barron, and it's what I tell people to check out. Also, In the Zone Now. I've listened to it a couple times since I got into Chapo and it's just really interesting.

EDIT: I'm listening to this episode again but it's just really consistent and good throughout.

If you had told me that two of their best episodes were about MMA, I would have been incredulous. I think the games industry is worth looking at as an example of the worship of multi billion dollar companies, the abuse a worker will put themselves though, etc etc. It's deep capitalism. Not even touching the gaming community. Just the implications involved in making and selling video games in 2017.

EDIT: had a really cool windfall the other day. The oven thermometer was part of a care package for my aunt and cousin to encourage me in my paling journey. Got an amazing spatula, my first Penzeys Spices, a bunch of mix-ins like Andes Mint or Buncha Crunch, an embroidered apron that says "The Cookie Guy", and some baking vanilla from JR Watkin's. I love this vanilla, it's just the best! But you can only get it from JR Watkins directly at this time, at least where I live.

Well, I'm finally running low on it and I'm too cheap to pay shipping when it's a considerable fraction of the cost. They've got a promo from their flyer for free shipping for orders over $50. I thought about reaching out in a neighborhood group to see if other people would go in on an order. Then I decided, I'll just do it myself. Unfortunately, I picked up some of their spices I found locally... so my order looked like three 11oz bottles of the vanilla, and ginger.

I'm a big fan of the Bodega Boys podcast, and they've been running this thing w Square's new cash app, think Venmo or PayPal, and you just gotta tweet at them what you need cash for. So I hit them up asking for $50 so I didn't have to pay shipping for my vanilla.



I wake up on Friday to this!



Holy poo poo! So I stayed true to my word and ordered a poo poo load of vanilla!



I also picked up a lot of cheap margarine, used a raincheck for some sugar, got some cheap flour, got JR Watkins vanilla (for frosting and non-baking applications, you see) at a 33% cheaper price than their website, and REALLY cheap M&Ms. So now I've got 4lbs of margarine, 10lbs of flour, 24lbs of sugar, 84 oz of M&Ms, and like 44oz of vanilla (once my order gets here). I plan on using the last little bit to pick up offset spatulas and begin the descent into frosting and cakes.

The Bodega Boys podcast is the loving best.

I’m more concerned about a possible drinking problem and/or diabetes from Red Bull.

I wish someone would make a Bodega Boys or Desus and Mero thread. I know too little and wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it.

Can it be tomorrow already? They’ve just been on such a roll and hopefully Amber isn’t out and about.

Oh my gosh. I want them to do an episode on “The Good Doctor”

But I can’t say no to more Tim Faust.

Don’t. It’s loving so bad and senseless. Like, I seriously don’t understand how the DC movies get greenlit with their dogshit scripts and plots. Like... they’re gonna release a Justice League movie w/o a proper movie for The Flash or Cyborg or Aquaman. So half the main characters have zero to incredibly minor characterization prior to it. I mean, poo poo on Marvel for being popcorn poo poo or whatever but at least the plots are logical and they bother to fill out their characters.

The DC movies are peak Hollywood capitalism cashing in on decades of history of a character.

McD’s also did a giveaway of bottles of the stuff to 3 winners. They helped hype it up as well. Their plan for “super limited” was loving terrible. Most retailers had figured out by 2005 to use a voucher system on Black Friday to help prevent the kinda poo poo that went down on Saturday.

If he’s talking about Chapo, I started w thr post-election episode w Adam Curtis. I can’t recall how I started working my way back, but episode 56 is great, because I think that’s when they first make fun of Dan Nainan. Episode 84 “President Wario” has my favorite line, about Barron and the blister packs.

At some point I said gently caress it and started listening from 1, when I caught up I became a Grey Wolf and started w Post-election there, caught up, and went back to the beginning and caught up in total.

The early episodes change when they get Brendan to produce and the production values become something bearable. Considering the Grey Wolf episode hasn’t popped, I might go listen to President Wario again.

Id start w their post election episode and go forward til you’re caught up and then start from 1 and go til you’re caught up to the election. They’re all funny and it’s really funny to listen to the AKAs grow as time goes on.

It might have been like this pre-election, but Chapo really blurs those lines due to their all-but-official association with the DSA. If Chapo was just entertainment for example, the controversy over the Cosby joke wouldn’t have blown up like it did.

It blew up because Josh Androsky was a leader in the LA DSA. If he hadn’t been part of it, I don’t think it would have blown up the same way.
