We start off with some Monkey News, then continue our post-mortem on the 2024 election. Does America have a Boy Crisis? Was $450k a day to put Kamala’s name on the Sphere worth it? How many votes did Queen Latifah swing? Are there sharks in the pool? Can Rebecca Solnit construct a metaphor to save her life? Will anyone learn anything from this boondoggle? We discuss.

Yeah the boys

Goonba

I love chapo and gooning man

Kentucky Shitlib

Great episode guys! I just listened to the entire thing.

Travis

Felix begins speaking at 3 minutes and 31 seconds

Goonba

Goonmaxing to this

Gwen Blu

Putting the goon sesh on hold for this 💯

Rahman

OMG Amber!!

JD Nonce

My girlfriend is Japanese and has no understanding of western political campaigning (we live in Japan), so when she asked why were Kamala people so confident one of the things I mentioned was ‘Taylor Swift endorsed her’ she burst into laughter

Tommy McCormick

They tried to beat Chapo with a finely tuned political critique But the Trap House is cool media And we just wanted to be entertained *** Can’t wait to keep laughing and crying with you all for the next four years! Love to Matt, Will, Felix, Chris, and all…

DS

I wait for every show and listen the same night. Long live Chapo. Long live our ability to shit on the things we don't like the same way the fascists do without expecting everyone we know to contribute substantially to the coming revolution. It's unfortunate we actually want things to get better and don't go into euphoria when things actively get darker because that makes it much harder to just enjoy shitting on all that must be shit on.

Goonba

Goon no edge

Goonba

Y’all think Felix goons or edges ? Will definitely edges

NYCM&AHole

Hell yes the monkeys have the rage it’s 28 days later bitches

NYCM&AHole

I love you guys for the suicidal tendencies clip. JUST A PEPSI

Alex C

Anyone else hear that message Felix had for me specifically?

MATT TRIANO

OHH CHIMPANZEE THAT MONKEY NEWS YOU FFF

ab

monke

JD Nonce

There’s no flex. Taylor Swift didn’t endorse me

Evan

I need my SLOP.

bravo_delta_echo

This trump voting bloc must surely be the stupidest and/or most misinformed (willfully or otherwise) in American political history, which is quite the feat

George Mitri

What a _balm_; thank you so much guys 😌

MATT TRIANO

No but you must act on it. We're all counting on you.

Alex C

Unfortunately the message was to stand back and standby...

Michael S. Judge

countdown clock till Jacques tweets "I FOUND 42 MONKEYS YALL"

Pete

Ohio mentioned 😤

Nathan

It’s funny that the article talked up Harris’s coalition building. Uncommitted got 100k votes in Michigan and Harris lost by 80k. She could have tried to build a coalition there instead paling around with Cheney.

Sep S.

Muhammad Alienated

Andrew Cross

“get a job” - podcasters

Logan Ausherman

not Felix calling Hamtramck "ham track" lmao

MATT TRIANO

Nobody cared about that.

JD Nonce

Kamala people seemed pretty pumped for it and seemed to think it was a big deal. I agree that outside of that little nook no one cared about it

Ben Thelen

The point about jobs is so right. Got my first blue collar job a few years ago, as a ramp agent, loading and unloading planes. It's nice to use my body doing something that actually needs to be done.

Mac daddy

I think "Alpha Genesis" was literally a Tim Heidecker sponsor from On Cinema lol

J.P. McD.

Felix goons definitely

Martin Fleet

I am very happy with the Karl pilkington ref here

Siddhartha

Monkeys are usually used for safety studies, not research.

Kompy

Amber episode the slop is good tonight folks

Cam C

Smerconish is hilarious because he’s the fancy lad son of a real estate agent who looks like a 1000 year old specter. She still has billboards all over specifically affluent areas, and her fancy lad somehow still has a show

Uso Dayo

Vintage Amber

Talcum Gladwell

Full on fist pumped when I heard her laugh off mic at the 60 second mark and realized it would be an Amber episode

Zen Ben

Love my big-ti**y girl, Amber A'Lee Frost.

Ardy Rezv

Turned out Kamala people were pretty fucking dumb

Nash-to-mouth

NNNKNGG CRRGHHNNT! “No! They would not make the monkey launch the rocket! … This is absolute bollocks!!”

Whucko Jaang

But the democrats are an honest bunch and it would be disingenuous to rally people you hope to extinguish from history...

kron

WAMBER

Hardcore Virgin

I’ve been saying this. The democrat hat needs to be a beret.

kron

Please review the Horizon movies when they are all out Chapo! They are getting a lot of hate but I genuinely liked the first one and want to hear yalls thoughts regardless!!!!

Hardcore Virgin

job idea. Cut everyone’s hours in half. Two people per job. We haven’t raised wages in like 50 years. Keep wages at their current level for half the hours. The gains in productivity need to be returned.

P Money

How does Felix know who Tony Snell is??

dog stone

you would be a wise king

Matt Murray

Keep these three together

HawkandQuail

When is the last time anyone in the Chapo orbit had a non-media job? In the last 10 - years? 15? This is so wildy out of touch. Also, while the not-looking for work thing skews the unemployment rate positively, the vast majority of young adults are working! Come on.

Mountain Dew Or Crab Juice

TrueAnon recently did an episode on the Red Heifers that were sent to Israel, Zionisms connection to American Evangelicals and Israel's apparent intention to build the third temple to usher in biblical Armageddon; and the idea that a bunch of assholes want to meet God and take everybody with them kicking and screaming just feels kind of par for the course for humanity, but even typing this out makes me feel like I'm the one who's lost their mind.

Comrade Trash Panda

The solid Dem voting bloc is in close competition for those titles

Allen Butt

I grew up very close to that monkey lab.

Dawson

Great having Amber on the pod but we need our sweet boy Matthew back. I need to steal his opinions about Trump and pass them off as my own thoughts

Matelda

This was how Obama got elected in 2008. Men wore newsboy hats and flat caps.

Bradley James

Everything they said about meaningfulness through jobs is right and so important. But reminds me again this is never discussed in the media. Which is dismaying and terrifying.

Nolan

Calling Kamala a MILF is like the “absolute unit” for fat guys.

MEAT CLOWN

I was raised as an evangelical Christian and I regret to inform you that this is pretty standard stuff for them

MB

No rushing Matt, c'mon

Sam Zeng

Almost 7 million men between the age of 25 to 55 are neets in America. It is a huge problem.

Mountain Dew Or Crab Juice

Oh, I knew it was, just never really made the connection, at least in a way that gave it too much credibility as an actual motive force of politics before.

Hot Rod

Amber always brings the Busy Town materialism

Peri

AMBER! 🗣️🫶❤️

Reece Coren

lmao my mom listened to her on call her daddy then smiled as she voted for trump. real effective

Robert Armstrong

Amber's dick is so much bigger than mine, and I got a pretty big dick, folks.

Tim O'

^ one of the escaped 42, right here 🚨🚨

Isopod-Gal

every time Chicken Fried or Zac Brown gets mentioned, I flinch a little; my uncle was a songwriter for them for years, and it's weird to see people still remember them

Dawson

But has Matt thought about my needs?

William

I think they mean give everyone a union job, or a ccc job

Mitch

The media is really more of an anti scald valve bypassing cold water into the hot water supply to prevent people from burning themselves at the faucet. The last line of defense.

Jennifer Wiren

I love how soccer news has already moved on from this whole thing, "Oi the bloody prem ref called Klopp a bastard and that!"

Danny K

Ham Track

Tim O'

Famously where all the Muslims live, Ham City USA

Art B

If Amber comes back on the show full-time Chuck Schumer will resign

Drew Zynda

As someone who works in industrial manufacturing, I love hearing my slop jockies talk about jobs and meaningful work. 👍

Steven-O

Not getting this via RSS anymore.

Hilary is Pant-suited Syphilis

I think they clarified that it would be a job where they 1) see a benefit they bring to their community and the world not a stultifying email job or soul destroying socially corrosive job 2) a job that pays enough to have a life and think of a future. I’d argue since the reset in the late 70’s early 80’s most jobs created don’t meet either of those categories and when there is even a slight rise in worker power and autonomy it was met with a total freak out of the rentier class who raised interest rates 4% and squashed it in order to maintain “flexibility” for employers (meaning a permanent mass of 5-10% underemployed or unemployed and employers being able to overwork and underpay employees)

MG

My favorite commentary was Joe Scarborough on msnbc talking about the Dems need to stop being woke on campus because his rich friends daughter is afraid to say anything in case she gets canceled. Like, what year is this? In what way did Dems support free speech on campus over the last year?

Pepe Bandito

Same. For months now. Emailed Patreon, they "reset the RSS feed" but nothing changed. Cancelled / resubscribed, nothing. At a loss as to what to do.

Matthew

Amber 🙌💥💫

James Murray

~24:45 Hamtramck is pronounced "Ham-tram-ick" not "Ham Track"

Ant koz

Thought they could get a boat across an acid lake before it sank? Sounds like they need a Pierce Brosnan type…

Now that Trump has won the election I can finally confront my father about calling me gay

The employees at Game Stop are the most dedicated employees in the galaxy.

Benjamin Jarvis

We are currently discussing the monkey incident in my law school Torts class. Did any of you wonder whether the test facility would be strictly liable in the event that the escaped monkeys' screeching disturbed a nearby mink farm, causing the minks to go insane and eat their young? The answer is no strict liability.

bl4ckav4r

Plus a grandma to sacrifice to seal the deal

Elder millennial

I was judging a high school speech tournament and this girl was trying to argue that boys aren’t doing as well as girls because they don’t have male role models. Girls have characters like hermioni granger! lol I wrote on her ballot what do you call every president in the history of this country? Then I ranked her last. So dumb lol

Chapo Bath House

US climate and foreign policy since 2000 make so much more sense when you realize GWB was surrounded by these guys

I was on mad copium during that time. I try not to be lib but it's really addictive.

TLT

Nicholas Needham

I had not heard about the Zach brown chicken fried thing before this but I assumed they were talking about the country song too

drizzly_november

The Scally cap/Kangol crossover is key to knitting back a working class coalition. Look at Boston, the Irish and every black guy over 55 wears a flat cap and we went +75% for Harris. A boyo/unc alliance is unbeatable.

james

The O’bungling is off the charts

Brendan Kneeland

Truly thought Felix made up the name “Brianna Chickenfry” but 🤯

etienne

where will you be during random chimp event

Austin Williams

The "get a job" bit sucks shit. Way too glib from a UWS lifer.

Austin Williams

Glad they walked it back a little but goddamn.

Elliot robinson

been subscribed since 2016, the cynicism is getting to me…not saying the analysis is wrong just getting tiring

Hello Amber! Glad to hear you! Lee

M Varnzo

It’s not that eggs are SOOO expensive when they go up by 20%, it’s that the MONEY IS ALREADY GONE every month to RENT and MEDICAL bills and or insurance. So people scream bloody murder.

Fat Cobra

My lil' battle fella is big on Sydney Sweeney right now RRRRRRRFRRRRRH

james

Amber is an animated children’s show voice actress

Robert Aitken

and right when things are really looking up

Elliot robinson

not saying there’s anything to feel good about. just show me a good thing that this posture has produced in the world.

Kinetics Video

That's good career advice, you're made once you land that gig

Kristy Noem's Crusty Dome

If you keep raising and blowing $1B while losing, then it becomes stunningly obvious that the goal is not to win but to raise the $1B. The donor money so clearly doesn't matter to winning but they will never jeopardize it.

Kinetics Video

I love that he used the exact narrative structure that was used to raise aware of campus SA a few years ago. I guess for conservatives being told you're wrong by people with a less business-focused degree is the same thing

Chris

It produced the podcast Chapo trap house

Kinetics Video

We are more bungle than nation at this point

emalco

I don’t understand the argument here: if there is a misogyny problem (which they won’t acknowledge there is), the solution is to provide meaningful, non-alienated, or at least well-paid work for men. But then Amber argues that it’s ridiculous to suggest that men today are more sexist than a “Democrat steelworker in 1976” would have been. But wasn’t that steelworker’s meaningful job supposed to drive them away from prejudice? Or is that something that will work now, somehow, even if it didn’t in the past? What if misogyny and its origins cannot simply be explained as a false consciousness that emerges from displaced class inequality?

Tim Masterson

I got fired from a meaningless job from an evil company for incompetence back in June. I have never felt more like shit in my life.

etienne

Breaking News: Crack smoking maniac tipped as candidate to Secretary of Having Wiring in the Walls

Jack Perry

The thing that makes me crazy about the call for better liberal propaganda about the economy is that people don’t care about the economy for its own sake, they care about it only as a means to an end. If you can’t afford a house, paying bills, student debt, raising a family etc. then by the cultural standards that Americans understand themselves, the economy is not good! This is why whichever party is not in office can always run on how bad the economy is!

Zack Burke

1) bring back basic home economics in High School - solve the annoying 'how do I pay my taxes?' BS everyone wants to sqwack about. Teach that and basic real-world skills. 2) A National volunteer service to rebuild infrastructure. Send these kids out to re-build the crumbling country, let 'em fuck. Let 'em settle in small towns and start families. Don't force everyone into the dumb idea that they have to move to a big city and get 200k in student debt to live a happy life in America.

ab

Very good point. Made me stop and think about that one for a minute.

Desmond Brown

Yeah, somewhat agree about the jobs thing. It would help some, but I think Felix is spot on when he says it's not enough. There aren't enough jobs, and probably never will be. And even if there were, that's not how everyone finds meaning. And we're talking about the capitalist market here... Most shit is fucking soulless, even IF it technically is doing a thing that people need. I think more free time, while having work, but with actual shit to do for free that ISN'T the Internet might be more helpful. Like places you can go and actually hang/talk to people, or do activities with them. Places exist, but often are more expensive than just browsing tiktok or some crap like that.

Matelda

Dont feel bad. It's hard to be competent at meaninglessness and not worth your time to develop the skill

Desmond Brown

Agreed. It's the same shit men get told all the time, and it clearly hasn't been enough.

Jay-Z Pants

I rewound that part to see if I misheard what she said. Maybe she meant to say the opposite?

Dee Rubes

Solidarity with the monkeys. Until every cage is empty! ✊🏻🐾

Matelda

This, and I just found out the number of people kicked off medicaid under Biden is over 5 times the number of votes she needed in MI and exceeds her margin in every swing state. She just pissed all over people she needed at every opportunity.

buttface

"Get a job" from the bozos who sit around doing drugs and shit posting all day

drizzly_november

I'm starting to think the internet's warped our idea of what meaningful work is. Cushbomb used to talk about how everyone deep down wants a media job, because that's really the only Real Job for people who live online. That's where meaning is located now, and it's getting harder to pry it back into real social relations. I'm an EMT, one of those meaningful jobs, and I'd derive a lot more meaning from it if I got paid half as much as my email-job friends. But I wouldn't trade places with them, and honestly my advice for young men looking for direction /meaningful work is: pick a job from Richard Scarry's What Do People Do All Day?, and don't do anything that isn't featured in that book. That includes podcasting.

Oliver Elliott

People want self-respect and meaning in their lives. Some people get that through meaningful work. Some get it through solidarity with others in a common goal or as part of a common society. Some people get it by feeling superior to others based on race, gender, etc and persecuting their purported lessers. I only see one party offering one of these options.

Matelda

The steelworker voted Democrat. Nobody is trying to solve misogyny, they're just trying to solve why people don't vote Democrat. Maybe it's because they dont get to be steelworkers anymore. The only jobs left in steel country are prison guard and drug addict.

Eon Gattignolo

I was just thinking we needed some more amber

Eon Gattignolo

how do you retweet in this stupid app?

Crisismethodactor

God damn that macho man drop will haunt my waking dreams. well done.

Crisismethodactor

walz mentioned something about a national jobs corp similar to mandatory military service, only just going to like be park ranger or something in exchange for school/GI bill benefits of some stripe. i can dream.

William

Just use his old takes - not sure why people think he’s going to say anything different

Man2quilla

I remember also instantly hearing that latine made more sense to people and also probably didn't matter anyway.

Fat Cobra

That's right! That's why I support Dr Jill! FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA

John

I like Amber but she always has some beef with *any* identity politics bc then someone might say that her noble savage Appalachian/Midwest blue-collar whites are kinda racist

John

Not defending the Dems' complete abandoning of the working class, but I do think it's more complicated than "Stop making people feel guilty"

Joe

Always glad to hear from Amber :)

Ant koz

Yep.. can’t do that shit if you don’t have the right pieces in place

Austin Williams

Listened to this again and I guess I just don't want to hear about the the necessity of gas station cashiers from the children of professionals. My crotchetiness is neck high and rising.

sungawd

I just started listening with the prior episode, which I enjoyed, but this one was weak in interesting analysis. And I'm not looking for a left bent, though it is my language, but this episode was very surface level rants.

Man2quilla

Get a job. Join a union. If there isn't a union, start a union.

sungawd

I recently subscribed after hearing the prior episode which I enjoyed. But this was incredibly flimsy. Cynicism is tiresome without meaty analysis to chew on.

Zarif Hasan

Get a job or at least get a hobby where youre actually making something.

Yung Sheldon

Some guy at my work today posts an article about the monkeys being recovered saying “good news! All the monkeys were found and are now unharmed!” Buddy, these monkeys are specifically bred to be harmed 🤦‍♂️

Jonathan Nathan

“We need the bro vote. How do we get the bro vote? How do we find out what they want? Do we know any bros? Is there a group of people we’ve been smearing as ‘______ Bros’ for eight years?”

Doug Cartel

Well you see, "my uterus is more important than your drone strikes" which is why it makes perfect sense to oppose misogyny while also making sure some victims of misogyny are annihilated by 500 pound bombs

Monty

I think a better use of the Harris campaigns billion dollars would have been to pay Morgan Freeman to do a reading of Matt's poem and force it to every device in America like Apple did with that U2 song.

aaron Thomas

A good meaningful job was the best thing I ever got for my mental health.

Max Seppo

Yeah let's test new vaccines on prisoners instead!

justdave

Lose your job. Become radicalized. Kidnap the president.

Axel H.

Then what’s the answer? Is it that no one should try and find meaning because there isn’t any or there are key sources of meaning they didn’t touch on?

Eirgor

kevin costner wants that cheney slime

The young men cry out for climate response civil service programs. Will America get their Climate FDR?

I received MM31 (around Halloween) via the Grey Wolf feed.

bravo_delta_echo

I feel you, but nothing approaches the rank-and-file right’s worship of the very oligarchs who actively seek to keep them poor, stupid, and sick - all while believing immigrants are to blame for everything and misplacing their anger at any number of boogeymen *other* than the oligarchs themselves Add in the theocratic nutbags and hoo boy

Vincent W Troia

Roger Freeman, Reagan’s education advisor in California, and advisor to Eisenhower and Nixon, said, “We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. … That’s dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow to go to college.” Him and Reagan ended free college in California and it was replicated across the country. He said you had to do this to prevent fascism from taking hold via an educated proletariat. Half a century later the US has fascism because of an uneducated and unemployed proletariat. Talk about dumb as fuck.

When you do mouse models for research you isolate specific genes to fuck with, so the mouse usually doesn’t have full blown schizo, just schizo like symptoms/behaviors

Fridfood

Can yall review the new Megalopolis? Jon Voight is asking what you think of this boner

Alec

We miss you, Amber!

Vincent W Troia

amber was mentioning how dems were wondering how to get the young bro vote. this is insane. they had the bro vote. they derided them as bernie bros and shut them out of the party. jhc the dems are beyond inept. they are self harming buffoons.

Rxk Lenderman

I’m begging Chapo to review this. Deeply confused attempts at political allegory, insane physical direction, and a barrage of some of the most absurd like readings ever. It’s stupid as hell and one of my favorite movie watches of the year.

Michael Branes

No more woke stuff, but also MEN, amirite ladies?

Fridfood

Also cus of Coppola acting like joe biden kissin women extras

Man2quilla

Form your coworkers into a battalion strength element of militia and seize the seat of government

My man Tony Snell is still catching strays for a meme image from 2017.

Oliver Elliott

Don’t forget the classic “Bernie’s a racist sexist for going on Rogan”

Christopher Price

"at least someone who's lying is going to suck you off a little bit" absolutely incredible.

Christopher Price

we need good, older mentors--union shop stewards

DT

Once again, the Dems only want to win with an electorate of their choosing.

james

I grew up in rural south carolina and genuinely knew like 3 families with monkeys as a child, all extremely evangelical of course

Christopher Price

absolutely insane response. A. they aren't her "noble savages"--these are the people she grew up with. B. she absolutely knows how racist they can be. she's talked about this. C. as she said on the show ""idpol" is only used to punch left.

Michael

What you’re describing has all the makings of a zany sitcom or Danny McBride project.

Tim Masterson

Wow, I didn't know monkeys could be evangelicals.

Christopher Price

for one thing--if you don't have a house or a ton of stock, you shouldn't have to file taxes. like the gov already takes it out of my paycheck. why the fuck should i have to do anymore work than that.

Michael

The ‘stop making people feel guilty’ is something Bill Maher argues.

Zack Burke

Basic nutrition, creating and balancing a budget, time management, and how to prepare food are still important things that should be taught when you're 16-18.

Christopher Price

it's nice when someone listens to the whole thought

Antipaganda

And of course the illegal blood diamond smuggling is a great side hustle.

Antipaganda

You gotta get revenge on those corpo bastards by getting a job at an even more evil employer! I suggest Nestlé. Those babies mean something to someone when they die! You'll never be unsure that you made a difference!

Tea for the Tillerman

Milk is $5/half gallon for the organic one that’s not store brand but also not the expensive small batch local brand that comes in glass bottles. I’ll get that sometimes if I’m at a nicer market or if I’m getting a speciality milk like egg nog. There’s also an expensive organic milk that’s from Massachusetts but I live on the west coast so why would I pay more for that?

Antipaganda

Yeah, the real answer is to do something to help someone, every day. It can be as little as getting your mum whose basement you live in a nice cup of tea. Or if you live alone, go and steal someone's mum to give tea to.

Michael

Listening to these American Liberal think pieces truly hammers home how the current incarnation of the ideology (which is basically Clintonism) was birthed in the 1990s during ‘The End of History.’ They have nothing.

hamburglar

His fears were off base. Some of the dumbest motherfuckers I ever met were in college. When you create an economy where you need a degree just to get your foot in the door, a bunch of people with no interest in learning anything go to college. Spend some time in any of the “career oriented” programs (business especially, but also STEM) and those people resent all the humanities classes they have to take. They want a job training program, not a well rounded education.

Simon Maraya

We know what they meant by "facism"

Steve P

As a former retail worker: the rewarding potential of the job is 100% dependent on how transparent your value-extraction is (ie canstant hassle about productivity while not being able to afford to live w/o 3 roommates) and the work you do being treated with life and death seriousness from management.

hamburglar

It’s free to walk dogs at the SPCA

soldiermighty

thank you felix for the election coverage stream! looking forward to the Q&A

hamburglar

I never understood the focus on egg prices they are still less than $5 and you get 12 of the fuckers. Nothing else is that cheap. It’s wild they ever cost only $1-2

hamburglar

Hi Lee this is Amber

hamburglar

Finding meaning only via your job is sicko shit and how you get workaholics and guys who retire and lose their mind

hamburglar

Goon together strong

hamburglar

Glad we’re not leaving all the chimp talk to Rogan

Biden cared too much about Amtrak, not enough about Ham Track

Sai

We don't feel worthless if we're not well compensated. We feel exploited. We know we keep everything going. We feel angry that these disgusting parasites get to treat us as disposable.

Austin Williams

yeah that tech is being implemented righ now. they just put a couple of the camera scanner type ones at my work lunch spot. we can't be doing the rhetorical equivalent of standing around with our dicks out (valorizing shit work) I don't wanna be bad faith cranky at the chapos. they're fine. you gotta record twice a week. you gotta say stuff. but the occasional "thee not me" quality of it can get under my skin.

Ashley Naftule

Hell yeah, brother. They don’t even hit their peak until Achtung Baby/Zooropa

Jason P. Woodbury

I'm just saying even "The Joshua Tree" comes after "their first couple albums," but more importantly I 100% agree with you that AB/Zooropa is the peak, with Pop as a light drop of, and then it's been downhill since. Good to encounter you here in the trenches, Ashley.

I'm going to go legitimately insane if I think about Israel for 1 more second. How is that country so powerful that it could undo a decade of "wokeness" and force everyone to be pro-infanticide, pro-rape, pro-torture, pro-war, pro-colonialism, pro-genocide, pro-ethnostate, and pro-theocracy? How could they make the Democratic Party commit suicide for them? I don't think it's plausible that they just have really good blackmail. There's something way worse going on that we'll find out about in 10+ years

Because Israel is doing America's dirty work, not the other way around

Jon

Finally looked up the “politics should never be a little battle fella” clip thinking Felix was overstating it. God it’s glorious

Theodore Nathan

Chapo is sounding like my dad, “get a job!” Spend more time talking about how those jobs are shit and how we can improve them.

Austin

Lots of Trump-as-Rambo flags flying all over Michigan just FYI.

Zen Ben

That's the devil's trap set by capitalism: The penalties for unemployed men are so drastic that even a shit job is better than having your girlfriend leave you because you're now a jobless loser.

Joe Schmoe

Amber talks too much, not to be a dick. Let them get a sentence in

Alex Gullen

Felix ‘like-maxing’ again. Sort it out.

Bran Moorhead

They did mention that every time it came up?

Ernest Ambrus

3 or 4 days and paid more isn’t a radlib take?

justdave

Furious George

Jimmy McMillan

Harris being black, Asian, and a woman counts as identity politics to them. I heard that they had a lot of LGBT representation at their convention which is "woke". Other than that they didn't do much. Their slogan should be "We see you, we hear you, but we ain't doing fuck-all for you." The only way they could be less woke is if they give up the argument to the Republicans, do a 180, and start queer bashing along with them. Just like their great boarder strategy

Jimmy McMillan

Sometimes you have to compromise your morals inorder to loose an election

Reece Coren

YESSSSSS that’s why Amber’s the queen!!! FUCK anyone who isn’t a Philadelphia sports fan

Griffin Post

Right, they’re the “white” foothold in the Middle East and the west, specifically the USA, would never be seen “working with” or being at the table with Arab/Muslim countries. Very similar to how the Dems wanted to win with only white suburbanites, the west wants to exist in the Middle East without engaging anyone outside Israel

Drake Kincannon

That's funny. There's a Trump as Rambo flag at my job.

Peevish Giraffe

Always fun listening to someone who won the podcast lottery telling everyone else to pull up their socks and get a job. Chapo is now as out of touch with reality as any of the people they got famous making fun of.

Axel H.

This episode hit a little too close to home for the failson community...

Thom

if the dems did a woke-ism I must have not heard it over the cacophony of Cheney dick-sucking

buttface

Possibly the worst chapo ep ever aired, except for all the movie madness eps of course

buttface

felix is borderline retarded

buttface

no they didnt?

IlIIllIIl llII

Great ep, always love an Amber ep. She’s way more in touch with the middle American psyche than the average terminally online Chapo liste- Wait, I mean shut up Amber! Let Felix talk about flight simulator.

Chip’s Mom Dre

I've had a cold hatred for the GOP my entire life. It's hard to tap into that cold hatred when hot hatred for the democrats is so available. I'm not really sure how comparable these comparisons between the two parties are. I get that the Democratic Party was a failed bulwark against fascism, but it wasn't the GOP. With all the Dem bashing, I am a little worried it "feels" like chapo might do a Tulsi or Glenn Greenwald. I know they would never, but it's vibes sometimes. I think one party is far more dangerous. Fuck, even on Gaza. We're about to kiss the West Bank goodbye. I know the right people loss and the wrong people won, but the wrong people are still even worse, and I didn't think that was possible.

IlIIllIIl llII

Did you listen to the episode. Micro solution: people need jobs that are meaningful. Macro: most jobs are bad. Libs spent the entire campaign talking about how the economy is good and inflation isn’t real, when any real person has personally seen prices rise while their wages stagnate over the last four years.

IlIIllIIl llII

Dems trotting out their next poc woman as candidate in 2028: “vote for her or you are racist/sexist, also democracy is ending”

IlIIllIIl llII

Making a podcast is literally a job. Just because it sounds casual and like a chat doesn’t mean no effort is being put in.

Ardy Rezv

This is how they always get weak people to back Democrats. It’s okay. Everything was already going to hell.

Ardy Rezv

She is a moron. She was part the DSA and Working Families Party. Both wings of the national Democratic Party. She’s a shit talking shitlib.

Joseph

“Some people are saying Mr. Chapo is Trump and that’s not me but I’m just saying what some people are saying, just curious”

Ardy Rezv

The fact the she still cares about the dems shows you what she’s all about. Thank god she left the show. She’s the one who got them to go all in on Corbyn and Bernie and embarrass themselves.

buttface

LMAO this guy 🤣 if you believe podcasting is a job then you've never worked a real job.

Ardy Rezv

Identity politics is a loser my dude. Class first is what leftism is all about. Doesn’t mean fuck all marginalized people but everyone should be united against the ruling class.

Ardy Rezv

Wow a class first analysis. Maybe the left is healing

Ardy Rezv

They are well meaning left leaning anti chud shit posters that made a good show together. Not really Marxist thought leaders.

Jes

Excuse me, Philadelphia Sports Fans don't punch you unless you order a cheesesteak like a fucking idiot or are a cowboys fan tyvm

B

Was that a Dante’s Peak reference?

E

The sphere ad did briefly have her face on it and it was terrifying

Creep Evee

I'm a local for the monkey story. I have friends that work at the lab. The place is awful. They mostly extract blood from them and dogs for testing. Constantly cost cutting at the expense of the animals. But, I do get to hear very cute work stories about what the monkeys get up to.

buttface

Matt was the Marxist, the others are just media consumers

Matttttttt

They didn’t listen to the pod. Just rushed to Post stuff for that sweet sweet dopamine hit

Daniel

The only thing better than an amber ep is the comments after an amber ep. Who would’ve ever thought Comedy Podcasts could become such a powerful force in american’s minds

Chris

I think Peevish meant a meaningful job

dawood

After listening to this, I saw David Brooks suggest Fetterman as a Bernie-adjacent personality to rep the working class. I'm giddy.

Tetsuo Shima

the canal guy was also my favorite

Florida Woman Podcast

I think Amber just misspoke when she made that comment about the steelworker, it’s pretty obvious actually from what she says after that she thinks America is less sexist and racist today

James Granger

With all the post election discourse happening including in this episode, there's a reoccurring theme that says the American voter isn't wrong and can't be criticized. I'm sorry, but the American people can get things wrong and be blamed for an election.

buttface

I listened and it sucked shit, what now?

buttface

Maybe she just sucks?

Casey O'Brine

At 31:45 describing the biden harris wh as "the balance between pragmatism and idealism" is literally straight out of the west wing. It's on a banner in the white house or something like that

@ByTheBaeram

Would literally rock a simple black dad hat with the chapo reaper logo everywhere if y’all ever wanna make that as merch lol

@ByTheBaeram

It’s up there with “how many genders? at least 3!” as far as best Biden quotes for me.

T

Trump's appointments seem designed to give Chapo non-stop hilarious content

Jon

People make decisions based on their experiences. Challenging the rationale of their choices can be beneficial. Shaming or blaming them doesn’t accomplish anything other than making you feel superior

Dunston Checksin

How are you going to hold these people accountable except for saying you disagree with them on the internet

wigglybuddy

I would absolutely fuck with a queer thrashcore band called Boy Crisis

Jason McGuire

It is time for Amber's triumphant return as regular co-host

Miles_B

I don't know if this is intentional or not. Perhaps the boys are really just that good without having to try. But I thought it was touching how they kind of clown on people who want to demonize the electorate. You know, our neighbors, friends, and family? Even if it's a little too charitable, our enemies inside and outside of the country benefit from us hating each other. As someone who is really struggling with highly active Republican parents - who I probably won't choose to see for the holidays - it's helpful to keep that in mind.

jbwhat

Matt Gaetz is going to be attorney general. Is that funny? On the other side of funny? I don't honestly know.

Chapo Bath House

Chris, you've been killing it with the drops lately

Noctor

I think revelation is the old Timey Christian way of spelling revolution

Noctor

I think it’s just a matter of realizing that most Americans have shitty politics but it’s less often a moral failing and more often human animals responding to the real and material stresses they are experiencing filtered and sublimated by decades of propaganda and shitty political education in a system that is designed to develop and exploit in-group-out-group tribalism within the working class.

Savannakhet

I mean, she's on once a year, let her talk a bit...

Noctor

Remember that YouTube character Kelly and the song “shoes”? You sound like the dad whose inner monologue is revealed to be “fiscal responsibility”.

James Granger

When people are wrong, you just have to say it. You can do that without saying it in a demeaning way. The American people knew what Trump represents and has done, but they elected him anyways. The quote the guys read from the man in Pennsylvania about voting for an authoritarian Hitler proves my point.

James Granger

I do more than type. I am politically active.

James Granger

Fiscal responsibility is one of the terms I can't stand in political discourse and in general.

Dashiell Hannoush

So nice to hear Amber again. Hope she can return more often.

Noctor

Bring back the civilian conservation corps, but this time no racist or sexist and with actual ecological goals.

max

I feel like that's not what she said though. And I love this show but I also worry about that. I'm also pretty sure that airing these concerns directly is not somehow passive aggression

MD

Father Figure was *chefs kiss*

Jesse Svetlich

Oh my god can all you dyspeptic complainers unsubscribe already? You can still hate half the episodes for free on iTunes but you’ll have to tell it to yourself. Stop clogging the feed.

David Constine

does anyone else find amber to seem kind of dumb? I’m sorry :(

Ty G.

Failsons out in full force in the comments after the job remarks lol

buttface

most of the people in the comments have a job unlike the hosts of the podcast

Tim O'

Judging by the number of Trump lawn signs I've been seeing, it was never gonna be close here.

Axel H.

It does make you a whiner, apparently.

buttface

sorry but I can't possibly take anything seriously from a guy wearing a shell necklace

Axel H.

Says the guy named…ah never mind.

etienne

whenever amber is on the pod dudes just start straight up brawling in the comment section, we need to find out what's going on here

Ginny

Really fun to hear Amber on the pod again! I'm sad for her and myself that we don't get to experience the Xanax Milf presidency.

Noctor

At the risk of sounding like a pedantic liberal, I’d like to point out the contradiction that Palestinians speak Arabic and yet basically anything a Palestinian does or even the fact that a Palestinian exist is apparently antisemitic.

Zach G

Seems like 99% of people understood what they were talking about... but leave it to the 7 most annoying assholes in the world to completely miss the point and take personal offense.

Zach G

Not sorry enough to keep it to yourself, apparently?

J.P. McD.

Love that, like myself, Will and Amber are hoping Horizon: An American Saga Chapters 3-4 get made

Chris Evans

Every Amber episode pushes me closer to canceling my subscription, but I endure because in America it's important to know what the stupidest people are saying.

Max Headroom

Your country appreciates your service, Captain America

Sean

You know, if Real wages didn't stagnate from the 70's onwards, maybe the manfluencer's message of: dont get a job, its a scam! Do this real scam instead if you want to get rich! Wouldn't be as effective? As for people whining about the podcast people saying "get job" idk man If they need their hot water tank replaced I'll charge em extra for saying it but I still agree.

Steven-O

RSS now works for me. Thanks to whoever fixed it.

Vincent W Troia

what do mean she “cares” about dems? they’re one of two political parties in the country that shape our lives. you mean “support”. i still voted for dems to block republicans. don’t mean i support them. i also think it was smart to get behind corbyn and bernie. whether or not they had a shot is irrelevant. they were the most progressive choices at the time. i campaigned for bernie in 2016 and 2020 for that reason. once in a lifetime shot to have a candidate like that. he wasn’t perfect but he was the best we had/have. you look at politics weirdly imo. like maybe you take it personally or something.

Major Powers

It’s just gotta be misogyny with the Amber hate, right? I can’t tell if Chapocels are doing a bit? The bit sucks. Amber fucking rules and she needs to be on the show more.

Percy Plump

I count my blessings when it’s a day we get the opportunity to comment “Amber”

Nolan

“Grueling e-mail job”

Zen Ben

This site is being brigaded. I wonder who is paying for the professional haters to keep stir up the dum-dims?

Natalie

My surgeons arguing in the chapo trap house patreon bro my Moms gonna die

Natalie

She was great in this ep!

Natalie

mad cause the stupidest people are telling you to get a job? damn just say you hate your parents and go

Tyler Sutherland

When Amber said "loosest, loosest" she 100% was about to say "women" lmao

Jonny Blade

Never missed Cushbomb more. Didn’t think they needed someone to explain Marx’s theory of alienation but there you have it. Get well, Matt!

Matelda

You're not testing to see if you cured a mouse's schizophrenia, you're testing how a schizophrenia drug interacts with hormones & shit in the mouse's body that humans also share.

That shark is just loving swimming thru chlorine and piss. Me too
