Street Fight Radio is the #1 anarcho-comedy podcast brought to you by @BrettPain and @MurderBryan out of Columbus, Ohio. In their three weekly shows, they tackle spicy hot topics like small business tyrants, nu metal, and the best drugs to use once we as a society cast off the chains of our oppressors and join together in one big party.

More seriously, Brett and Bryan offer commentary on the current state of politics and capitalism in America in a way that hits a 'sweet spot' for many different ideological groups. Their perspective is that of white, working class men in middle America who formerly identified as conservative (hold on, stay with me), allowing for insight and exploration of the inequitable constraints inherent in American society today in a way that is reminiscent to those of us with blue-collar roots, but probably with less racism and more hope. Also refreshing is how both hosts embrace their privilege as white men even in the face of their own struggles, and their call to others with similar privilege to stand up for their female, LGBTQ, PoC, or other marginalized cousins. Having lived at or below the poverty line with their families, and coming from communities with similar experiences, the hosts of Street Fight also give a national voice to the tens of millions of Americans who have had to hustle just to put food on the table and get a roof over their heads. Street Fight's message is ultimately one of solidarity and respect.

Less seriously, the podcast is not grim in tone – definitely less goofy than Chapo Trap House, but they still have their own cast of reoccurring characters and in-jokes. Drugs and having a good time are as common themes as fighting for worker's rights and against racism. They're just two chill dudes hanging out and hoping to spread awareness that caring about other people is cool and good, so light up a joint or get your Kratom and settle in for some Street Fight.

You can pretty much jump in anywhere and get a typical episode and decide if it's your cup of tea. They don't deviate a lot from "2 midwestern guys bullshitting about current events and politics"

Well obviously, if I sign Apple's ToS and it includes a statement about how they have a right to my personal data because it is made of honey and is delicious that would not be legally binding. Need to get me a flat-earth lawyer, they're sharp.

Hmm, I'm not sure if there is a 'quintessential' one, or one that would be an ideal introduction, just because their podcast is so casual. It doesn't have the 'serial' aspect of CTH or other pods with repeated name-drops or jokes. I think the best way to get into it would be to search their site for a topic that you're interested in or check out some of the popular ones in the OP. My personal favorite is the MLM/payday loans ep, because Bryan gets into some raw discussion of his wife and him making a personal decision to take out a payday loan so that they could have one dinner out together. It's a powerful first-person look at something a lot of us are lucky enough not to have to experience, but many of us unfortunately do. If you'd like something lighter, they tend to dunk on Mike Rowe fairly frequently which is usually pretty funny!

If you take a listen let us know what you think :)

I sent Bryan a DM on twitter because I just wanted to tell him how much I like the show and how refreshing it is to hear jobs talked about in such a real way and he messages me back and was very sweet and said I can chat with him anytime. Also Brett followed me back on twitter and that's cool. I like the show a lot.

Nobody needs the video of a live podcast. There might be ghost hunting videos but there's really nothing to see.

Another vote for the zine! I've been enjoying both issues that I've gotten so far (and am pretty hype about #5 coming out soon).

That's awesome! They are awesome :)

Just got around to listening to the new episode (http://www.streetfightradio.com/show/mixed-use-condos-in-space/). I like their description of the Democrats trying to drown out Republicans screaming their heads off about issues with a desk fan. And I think they are 100% right about people hemming and hawing about single payer health care until they actually have it.

I'm coming around to a harder line about single-payer myself lately. It feels increasingly like every American politician that doesn't endorse single-payer is instead endorsing people dying of preventable issues, or being forced into bankruptcy to pay for care. It just seems with the rapidly increasing inequality in the U.S. (our Gini index is around .5 now IIRC) that it is impossible for the majority of Americans to receive the care that they need in the current system. I guess that's probably the point, but I'm hoping that this is an opportunity to start pushing single-payer as a mainstream issue.

Well what's so interesting to me is that both sides seemingly admit that the American healthcare system is hosed, but they are conflicted because they want that money in their pockets. It's at least progress though because not too long ago the republicans wouldn't stop saying that maybe our healthcare isn't the best in the world. So it's something I guess.

Responsibly handing your drugs is way good. As is doing them irresponsibly and passing out on stage while generally being right about everything.

KoRn used to be my favorite band when I was a teenager. I got in late – Issues was my first album – but I think I bought the rest of the back catalogue within the same month and listened to that band pretty much exclusively for five years or so. Then I remember when I started getting in to Slipknot (also late) I thought their self-titled album was the heaviest thing that I had ever heard. I desperately wanted to marry Munky and Joey Jordison, even though one looked like showering was an optional exercise and I was already half a foot taller than the other by 18 :allears:

I still occasionally listen to Got the Life and Surfacing.

I freaking love Street Fight Radio. I started listening because "it was that one podcast the Chapo boys were on" but honestly it's way better. Best podcast of all time, and the guys are totally nice and funny online too. I don't normally get into idolatry, but these two dudes I would loving love to meet irl and smoke with.

Oh hey, a Street Fight thread! :cool:
Been reading/posting in the Chapo thread for months, no idea why it never occurred to me to look for a Street Fight thread until today(I am dumb).

I found out about Street Fight in a round about way I guess. I started with Chapo, they introduced me to the Street Fight guys.
I've been on the 13/month tier on Patreon for a bit now. Can't beat a podcast who sends you drugs and a zine.

I've decided Street Fight is probably my 2nd favorite podcast these days(Your Mom's House Podcast will always be #1, shame there is no thread here for it I guess?). As a annoyed lefty who grew up in Michigan it's nice hearing some people from my area who aren't total chuds.
