yeah I felt they were slipping a little the last few weeks but they've been super fucking strong this weekNewsroom episode was great, and today there's another will David Cross. Good week
yeah I felt they were slipping a little the last few weeks but they've been super fucking strong this week
yeah, I enjoy it. The humor doesn't always land for me, but overall it's a good listen.
It also has one of my favorite quotes, from Adam Curtis, that left me "legit shook" as the kids say: starts at 45:57
transcript taken from one of the comments:
Aw man david cross is a good get. listening asap
They haven't all been hits but the Harvard's worst bracket, the new tim faust ep, and the China Mieville interview were all great.
Yeah agreed on the core group lagging a bit recently. I've just always preferred interview/guest epsthat's true, yeah, the guest episodes have been pretty solid. i guess it's more the core group episodes felt a little weaker, which is usually the opposite of how i feel
john kasich is literally just a season 2 twin peaks characterThe fucking moose. I know way more than I want to know about this man now.
Episode 120 - "You need to bend the knee to us"
Nah. Fuck off with the purity shit. They sound like idiots when they start ranting about socialism being the only acceptable political message.

Nah. Fuck off with the purity shit. They sound like idiots when they start ranting about socialism being the only acceptable political message.
i think their central point that it's time for the national democratic establishment to embrace leftism especially after the last few years of failure is fair and mostly agreeable, but I think since they all basically have identical political beliefs they can work themselves up a little too much sometimes
Embracing leftism is great, I agree with that. But they act like righteous, indignant assholes that hate Hillary Clinton supporters as much if not more than Trump supporters. Having even a slight disagreement on some of their main things means you need to fuck off from the Democratic party? Really? Thank god these morons don't run campaigns. The comparisons to Corbyn having a big victory are totally clueless to the situation in America as well.
Some of these choices are weird to me. 104 is great but I wouldn't really call it a particularly good starting place. 97 (which is free) or 106 are much better imo, 106 is one of my all time favorites. 83 is also my least favorite of all the movie reviews. I'd say 101 is one of the best premium episodes.In case anyone is wondering what to listen to as a first-timer, recent classic episodes for new listeners include...
Good recent Patreon-only ones for new subscribers include...
- Episode #75 - Mr. Chapo Goes to Washington
- Episode #65 - No Future
- Episode #104 - We've Always Been Here
- Episode #116 - Jezz in My Pants
#75 (free) and #83 (Patreon) are hall of famers for sure.
- Episode #83 - Boston Skrong
- Episode #97 - Hollywood Upstairs Medical College
- Episode #109 - Media Twatters

This is mostly quibbling though, I suppose. When I began listening to the show, I just listened to the most recent episode and worked my way backwards and it turned out fine. There are very few episodes of Chapo that I can say I didn't really like.
Your not going to change or influence the Republican party. That gulf is too wide. Trying to encourage democratic leaning voters or activists to get rid of centrist democrats and policies is a lot more likely.

Holy shit they're pulling in $71K a month now. Are they public at all with how they're using these funds? I mean, they've very clearly struck a chord with a vast audience and deserve their success, but I wonder if they're putting any of their Patreon money toward left groups/organizations/initiatives that they support, especially when much of Chapo Trap House is dunking on rich elites.
I say this as a premium subscriber, by the way.
i saw something along those lines in twitter a few days ago but i can't find it right now, that they'd be announcing some new projects through patreon or something like that. they're also writing a book so, maybe once that's gotten out of the way they'll fill us in
edit: now that i'm thinking about it there's a chance i made this up in my mind because my brain is fucked
Lol. I just hope they're doing something meaningful with at least a portion of the money.
their Patreon shows they only donate to street fight radio, cumtown, and Eric garland
So what you're saying is that they are donating to meaningful and important people and places. to vital institutions really making a difference.
I never actually listened to the Cthullu episodes, are they just funny or what? Wasn't too interested in them before but I love any and all jokes about Eric Garland.

Yeah I don't think anyone on the left really treats them as leaders though.they make fun of the people that treat them as thought leaders though. wasn't it last week that Will had a whole speech explicitly saying they were pure entertainment and listening instead of actually acting politically is an idiot?
