Fighter jets are just falling off the back of our aircraft carriers now in yet another Keystone Kops-ass bungle in the Red Sea. Gerry Connolly announces he’ll step down from the oversight committee in another moment of glory for the funeral home waiting room of Democratic leadership. Will reads us a profile of a new up-and-coming conservative influencer so annoying it drives Felix to the brink of rage-quitting. Alex Nichols returns to the pod to discuss these stories and more on today’s program.

We are putting a limited number of overstock copies of ¡No Pasarán! Matt Christman's Spanish Civil War next Wednesday, April 30th at 8am Pacific Time at: https://chapotraphouse.store/

Alex Nichols episode dropping right before I go to sleep is painful

Schwartz666

Literally just woke up from a bad dream to find to Mr. Chapo waiting to comfort me! *tender kiss*

Alex Weber

Under Pete Hegseth’s direction, even the fighter jets are drunk and falling overboard

That Guy

No one knows how fast carriers go because that is classified. And it's protected because it is faster than every other (surface) ship in the fleet. Unlike planes, boats get faster with size do a high-g evasion is really plausible for a giant expensive target like a carrier.

Schwartz666

Trilly last week & Alex the next! 🥰

Jaime Christley

They don't go very fast, their whole thing is they are big and have lots of stuff. It's not that mysterious.

plainwrap

The Houthis really are geniuses of war. They're attacking our carriers with giant nautical obstructions that need emergency maneuvers to avoid like it's the fucking Titanic.

Delaney Moore

I went to college (UChicago) with Natalie Winters. She was in all my mandatory Poli Sci and History classes. Rarely showed up to class. During Zoom school, she kept her camera off the entire time and when her camera was on, she was laying by the pool. It didn’t seem like she took her education particularly seriously.

Glenn Youngkin Did Nine Eleven

I was aviation in the navy, you have to be lazy as fuck to not have that shit secured. Just tying shit down with ropes, that’s all you gotta do lol.

Glenn Youngkin Did Nine Eleven

Never mind, they did it during a move, that’s even worse because there should be more places to tie down an aircraft + you literally have people in seats riding the brakes in the aircraft and the tow tractor.

Andrew Cross

opening things up today talking about the Boeing F/A-18E ‘super hornet’

SebastianJarzab

Lindsey Graham’s looper took me out lol

Mayor McCheese

Vote Third Party. Vote Greens. Adam Mckay is right. Stop focussing on the Democrats and then questioning the point of it. Focus on taking votes away from them and putting them in the Greens for no other reason than spite. I just don't get where this newfound defeatism is coming from. The American Left isn't Bernie, or AOC, it's you. And you need to get together with your fellow influencers and start endorsing the Greens in every election for its own sake. You can do nothing else but doing nothing entirely is just weird.

Elizabeth

So morbidly curious which civ did she take

Buttfarts

Laura Scudder peanut butter is the best you donkeys

Dru Heff

Always in for an EP w/ Alex 🫡

Will

Gilbert was married and Sullivan was a certified Chad

Comrade Trash Panda

Bro, the Left is dead and has been for nearly a century. There is no influence, only entertainment. So might as well enjoy the show

Joseph Mabrey

Can we just shutup about AOC and Bernie at this point who cares, they're washed

Frank

While it wasn't Matt on McArdle, Felix did gun for one of the top outbursts on the show of all time there.

Tim O'

Oh, Boeing makes those? Now the story is making more sense

Adam Foster

Apparently there is a legitimate “zig-zag” manoeuvre that aircraft carriers use to evade missile fire, but jeez if the Houthis were the cause they are *smoking* the US Navy right now They destroyed a $60,000,000+ aircraft while only having to spend like $1000 on whatever they sent at the ship that made the crew so scared

Matty yglesias

Let’s go to our military expert who plays video games all day

GnarlyRaeJetson

Conspiracy theorist back in the day: “The background dancer in the run this town video has three stripes on their shoe. This proves Jay-Z is in the bilderberg group” Conspiracy theorist now: “Olive oil makes my tummy hurt”

Flesh Colored Subaru

Personal theory about Democrat gerentocracy is that younger people hate Israel and won't take AIPAC money

Viro Mia

It's really annoying how fascists used to be these tortured/failed artists with PTSD and undiagnosed autism and now they are all Walmart graphic tee-shirt wearing dopes

Drew

So what was the verdict on the weird lisp that Will had on that Doom Scroll interview?

T

Maybe younger Democrats just aren't as interested in raping Epstein's girls because there isn't enough age gap for them

T

Better be gay too

Mountain Dew Or Crab Juice

I wasn't even aware an Aircraft carrier could turn hard enough for a plane to roll off the side, I've got some extra $30 wheel chocks from Harbor Freight if the navy needs them.

Frank Lee Dontcare

People are being black bagged for their takes. Do you know how embarrassing and degrading it will be for you to be dissappeared for your comment history, not taking part in resistance? If the left is dead, you're helping keep it that way. Fuck your fun dependent on black pilled nihilism. Losers can't muster the willpower to rhetorically support something in chat, nevermind risk anything.

Blank

Felix was 🔥 today, we have to sleep deprive him more often

Max

Felix claims to have an autistic fascination with fighter jets, yet doesn't know that aircraft carriers cruise at some crazy speed like 50 mph? They're fast as fuck, to help the planes take off

Oliver Clozov

this is exactly why i voted stein in 2024. i would have voted PSL but the democrats took them off the ballot in my state

etienne

Canada just had a miserable election for third parties, it's tough out there!

Doug Cartel

"I will go down with this ship" - Dido

Doug Cartel

Evasive maneuvers are obviously par for the course but I also wonder if they did that because they're rationing ammo. Theyve been at sea a long time and isreal and ukraine keep eating all the ammo

Doug Cartel

On the one hand, US soldiers fighting over there cant do a holocaust over here, but trumps main muscle is going to be the cops anyways. How many coups has the army won in the cops v army coup tournament? Not a lot I dont think

Dick Must Bust

We’re not gonna talk about Virginia Giuffre’s “suicide”?

Zach H.

Yeah the women in Trump’s orbit do all have a type. They all resemble his daughter. Weird how that happens.

Doug Cartel

Jesus this woman is to felix what meghan mcardle was to matt

Travis

Felix begins speaking at 1 minute and 40 seconds. ALEX NICHOLS!

Matt T

Say what you will about Jerry Connolly but he pioneered the wall facer program and had the grit to broadcast earth’s coordinates if the trisolaran fleet moved toward our solar system. AOC would crack up within days under the constant observation of the Sophon’s. Y’all need to grow up.

MG

Plane Torgo

Mungo Franczak

Felix, I feel you on the bread struggle. Growing up, the only bread we had in the house was the whole grain kind with the fucking nuts and seeds in it. I didn’t have white bread until I was in high school

Josh Bobst

There is this thing in Maritime engineering called the hull speed rule. Generally speaking, the speed of a displacement Hull is the square root of the length at the water line times 1.34. the upshot of it is that, the longer the hull, the faster the boat. That's for displacement hulls. They can't go faster than this no matter how much power is applied, because they would be trying to climb over their own bow wave and skate along the surface of the water like a ski boat. No 100,000 ton ship is ever going to have enough power to do that. US aircraft carriers are around 1,050 ft long, which gives them a theoretical hull speed of 45 knots, which is 53 miles per hour. I should add, it is possible for a displacement Hull to go faster than this. It can begin to climb the bow wave, at the price of doubling or tripling the power. You might get fifteen or twenty percent more speed with that investment of power. That's not an efficient - or stable - configuration, but twenty percent faster than 53 mph is 65 mph, which is pretty damn fast for a skyscraper size object. The Navy's specs on Nimitz class carriers are 34 knots, but anecdotally it's an open secret they are much faster than this.

Throw Away

Felix crash out let’s go

sweetiepie

In Bleeding Edge a side character gets picked up by an umbrella company when they discover he is taping movies. They considered the taped movies to be post post modern art.

Justin

Is BE worth reading? I'm a huge Pynchon head, but I always assumed his writing had fallen off by that point.

Franklin Shepard Inc.

I've been emailing Darius Rucker's agent frot the past 3 weeks and I still have yet to hear a word about the Hooties

sweetiepie

Im liking it a lot. Ive only read 4 or so pynchon books so its hard to compare it to his other stuff. To me, its very breezy for pynchon, which i appreciate. And since its newer theres pokemon, dragon ball z, and vr references. Very fun to read Pynchon's writing about this stuff. There is a pokemon joke that made me burst out laughing. Im not through it yet though.

ERIC

Thank you Josh. We need more engineers in the chat educating our philosopher kings.

Ben Clarkson

Chapo boys hating on my diet.

T

Chris has done a great job editing out Will's secret lisp this whole time

Maxwell Harkness

when the description said "new up-and-coming conservative influence" that annoys Felix, i thought for sure it was that Misfit Conservative guy with beautiful lashes who loves Israel.

Drew

I thought that too! I really started questioning my memory until I thought of live chapo and Best Show episodes and thought no it's not always like this

B

The Allies tried to build an aircraft carrier out of frozen wood pulp in WW2. Project Habbakuk. It would’ve been the largest Navy vessel ever built but got shitcanned for obvious reasons.

Reece Coren

Was Will’s peanut allergy girlfriend the same girl as his Ginger-coded girlfriend or were they different girlfriends?

Ian H

I've come full circle on the intergenerational cycle and become the dad buying the brown bread. There's literally a loaf of that weird biblical bread and a tub of separated peanut butter in my cabinet right now.

Glenn Youngkin Did Nine Eleven

I did basically this exact thing in the navy for two years, and I can say they were objectively correct about 90% of the stuff. Will saying “I’m closer to being a pilot than the guys on the deck” gave me flashbacks to when I felt trapped in the line shack (the shop that does inspections and moves).

C. Andrew

Yeah they can actually go faster than the plane but "they" don't want you to know that

Chubby Justin

Go get the spares. They're in the supply closet aft if the galley. NOT THE SCULLERY YOU FUCKING IDIOT

C. Andrew

RE Navy Fuckups, never attribute to malice which you can attribute to a low ASVAB scoring hung over sailor. Some 20 year old with the shakes praying that he remembered to secure the tow straps is responsible for a F/A-18 and that's pretty cool.

Reece Coren

Felix’s rant about the boring woman has me in tears. And white bread is absolutely goy slop

Bryan

Alex is the best.

Jim Veil

I once saw a guy lose his mind at the Sacramento Co-Op because he was convinced the organic peanut butter had gone bad on account of the oil separating. He would not let it go.

Meowzedong

The boys bringing up Ezekiel bread sent me into horrific visions of the past

Ipota

i saw a clip from the andrew schulz podcast with pete buttigieg and andrew asks him if he’s a gold star gay and pete just looks so shocked that someone would ask him that it was honestly so cringe i couldn’t wait around for his answer i had to swipe through

Will

Movie Mindset on Topsy Turvy

Vincent W Troia

i think i’ll just forever disagree with these guys take on progressive candidates like AOC and how to approach politics in general. i get their criticisms and i think they’re valid and ought to be voiced, but i completely disagree with their takeaways. they see it as a reason not to support AOC and to stop participating, and i only see it as a reason TO support and push her more. will takes a “what have you done for me lately” approach, and i think democracy is fundamentally a participatory game. these politicians like AOC are only as good and as powerful as the coalition behind them. meaning, it’s on her, but it’s also on all of us. it’s our responsibility to change the society to create the candidates we need and deserve. again, not to let AOC or any others off the hook but i’ve listened to them enough for years to understand that they don’t appear to understand this crucial dynamic.

Gromp

just remember to get out an vote!!!🤓🤓🤓🤓. writing a damn essay about nothing

Kamran Husain

will try reading moby dick if you want to pick up some boat terms

Dante Scaglione

Can’t believe we got Meade outro music

Michael Coutts

Talking about Meade. The Troubadour of Richmond!

lolwuthappend

I will never think video games are cool or interesting. It's like listening to someone talk about the dream they had.

Michael Miller

Felix asked if ‘this’ looked like power and I would say AoC’s ploy is to try the Obama thing again but I don’t even think she’s as woke as ‘07 Obama while she has shown only the opposite of resilience towards the forces which corrupted him

Michael Miller

But at least I can see whats in it for her

Degrassi Knoll

missile would have to be moving slower than the dot in Pong for the Navy "evasive measures" bs to make sense. Oh well OPEN WIDE and print it

wavylady

“My dad would bring this pro-ana lunch to work every day”

Warbs

Love having Alex on the pod. Great ep, good works lads.

Vincent W Troia

it’s about more than voting, but yes that’s a part of it.

Vincent W Troia

most definitely. he wouldn’t have done the few progressive things he did like what was in the infrastructure bill without some push from the working the class and the progressives. it wasn’t enough but gotta work with what we can get in the moment.

Michael S. Judge

It's a risky move to tell Donald Trump "You can't build a 100,000 ton speedboat"

justdave

"The Move Crew" is what i call my freestyle dance group

Beehive Fucker

49:53 the spirit of st. cushbomb enters Felix's body

Schaeffer Mallory

The only electoral option is to start a legit and ambitious 3rd party with at least one major union's support and begin the long but actually productive process of undermining the two party system, which Bernie should have done in 2016 and if he doesn't do/support before he's dead, he's an absolute waste

Jonathan Nathan

Your mistake is believing that liberal democracy can produce any outcome other than the one it has always produced. That’s her mistake too.

RanRan Bobandy

The Felix rant was on par with Matt. Goddamn.

Jonathan Nathan

Wait is olive oil one of the Bad Oils? I thought they were mad about canola oil and stuff like that.

That Guy

I could have worded this better but the idea that aircraft carriers are slow ships is ridiculous. An evasive maneuver causing a plane to roll off the deck is plausible. They don't want to say the F18 got shot down so the cover story is a houthi missle got past all the carrier defenses? How is that better?

Ball Atreides

I just want felix to do his own side pod like movie mindset but about aircraft

Sam Zeng

I think the nimitz class has a max speed of about 30 knots.

interzoa

Sweet summer child

I was saying boo-lania

We would need a magical beast that could unite Working Families, the Greens, PSL, CPUSA, and all the smaller leftist into a broad front coalition or a congress of socialist parties

lolwuthappend

I ripped at Crash Bandicoot on PlayStation 1 when I was a child...video games are for children...

Tim O'

This sounds like a Rick Ross lyric

justdave

Life is about laughing

C. Ries

Olive oil is not a seed oil

justdave

The point? Post. Vote. Vote and Post and never stop.

CS

How are you buying organic peanut butter without knowing that the oil separates? This truly is a sick country

sweetiepie

Against the day is so so so so good. ive gotten through that, V, GR, and lot 49. Against the day is probably my favorite. Someone in chapo chat mentioned snake eyes and my mind went immediately to deuce.

Justin

Mason and Dixon is his best imo, but I like all that I've read. AtD is up next, and I'll add BE to the list just to hear what Pynchon has to say about Pokemon.

sweetiepie

My friends favorite of Pynchon is also mason and dixon and he gave me BE insisting i read it. I havent read mason and dixon yet but if you liked that... should be a great read for ya

danny

feels like classic chapo great ep

sweetiepie

Same friend read through AtD with me (and GR).Prepare to obsess!!! We enjoyed AtD more than GR i think AtD has more characters but is easier to follow. GR was a little too hard to follow for me imho.

etienne

Hot Shots [Jim Abrahms; 1991] was a documentary

DiamondDave

An f'ing aircraft carrier can't make a turn "hard" enough to sling a fighter jet off of it .. right?

Justin

"Airport idiot" thank you Felix. gonna have that one permanently in the chamber.

etienne

what's so funny is that "this time we're gonna be coalitionned enough" is what keeps happening in France and they're still getting dunked on by Kind Neptune again and again

fredbaroque

Hell I knew a schizophrenic GOTH who also fancied himself a rapper.

etienne

what you're describing also basically amounts to the NDP which just itself got obliterated last night. Fun times!

I was saying boo-lania

It doesn't keep happening in France bc this is the first time they've tried it in forever. They should try again. Also they did it in Mexico and countless other places. Liberal Party still needs NDP bc they don't have a majority. They also did well last time and could go ahead and do well next time. Fun times!

I was saying boo-lania

I'm not gonna vote or organize or start any revolution whatsoever, I'm just going to make fun of people who vote bc I'm so cool don't you all think I'm cool? Please think I'm cool I said the "vote harder" line and everything! Edit: not trying to sound like a dick but I really don't think shaming people for wanting to continue electoral participation is any better than what the shitlibs do.

justdave

“Squeeze! squeeze! squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me; and I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-laborers’ hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules. Such an abounding, affectionate, friendly, loving feeling did this avocation beget; that at last I was continually squeezing their hands, and looking up into their eyes sentimentally; as much as to say, – Oh! my dear fellow beings, why should we longer cherish any social acerbities, or know the slightest ill-humor or envy! Come; let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and sperm of kindness. Would that I could keep squeezing that sperm for ever!”

etienne

you really got a be a masochist sicko to really enjoy this but hey if it works 1% of the time why not fuckit

justdave

I'm also not in the FBI

Joe

my dad used to bring a bag of raw vegetables & nuts to work every day & made us drink a glass of spinach juice before we went to school

Matty C

Listen, ABHs and shooters aren’t Torgos. Torgos are the AOs loading the bombs and they knew for a fact the day they walked into the recruiters office they had no chance of being a pilot. They joined because they had an undiagnosed learning disability and a pregnant girlfriend in high school.

Matty C

Also, Felix, no one likes pilots but pilots. They’re the worse kind of officers and they often fail to tie their own shoes. Top Gun makes them remove every functional part of their brains to be able to process 29473 different iPad screens.

Slamp

Doge should look into the government waste surrounding the loss of this fa18

Brent

Whenever Dems stick to a “norm” despite it kicking themselves in the crotch, “It’s Gerry’s turn” Whenever GOP violates a norm or a law to shove their shit down our throats, “Mitch gonna Mitch, bitch”

Rooti Tooti Giuliani

“They should make white women in a lab” Yakub already did that to calamitous effect

Dean

Alex is always a great guest. I know he’s on quite a bit, but I wish he was just a regular cohost at this point.

Nathan

I think the bottled water people think bottled water is like the “raw milk” of water that’s like bottled directly from a spring. But bottled water is just normal municipal water that goes through reverse osmosis and they add some minerals to it. Sometime in the next decade, I think conservatives are going to learn plastics leach chemicals into water and bottled water will become the new seed oils.

Special Adeline

Im glad to hear Felix plays Dynasty Warriors thats the test of somebody with a truly sophisticated taste in games. It's easy to say you like Kojima and Miyazaki but when he goes to bat for Dynasty Warriors you know he's the real deal

John

I gained 60 lbs in college because I could finally drink soda

Andrew Cross

we’re so separated from how food is produced, he needs to go to the countryside for a bit

Andrew Cross

yeah Boeing incorporated McDonnell Douglas

Praxcheat

So i graduated uni in 2001 (yes old) and got a job at Intrepid Museum Foundation hoping to segue skills into an art museum job (ha). It was my second day at work Sept 11 2001. The FBI took over the ship as a command center and we had to deal with families from Cantor Firtzgerald (HUGE museum booster) at a hotel by Central Park. A few weeks later we were kinda back to doing whatever it is they normally do back on the boat. I was cut to part time since there were layoffs happening everywhere. The nation was beating the war drums and it was basically intolerable to work there. Interestingly some veteran military types worked there and opposed the war. Anyway, what the foundation did was raise money for the museum but it was also seemingly a fundraising front of sorts for politicians. We had these big 1000 plate dinners with famous speakers and took contribs from Howard Lutnick and also a lot of real estate guys and “waste management” guys. Gen Tommy Franks and Donald Rumsfeld headlined. Billy Baldwin groped my ass during a staff group photo. Anyway it was cool working on the ship itself but I left for a job at the NYCLU b/c the jingoistic insanity was too much for me. It’s a cool museum tho.

Dark Magicks

They should cement Alex into the podycule

More Human than Human

I grew up in Alabama. And our house was completely stocked with Little Debbie’s, endless Soda, and Jimmy Dean’s breakfast Sausage/Pancake corn dogs. And most importantly, toaster strudels

Grant Spalding

When did they even talk about voting in this episode?

king_von_diesel

If he plays One Piece Pirate Warriors, he knows ball

Studio Novaya by Fredrick Edward

Okay so why do you believe the guy who said the thing that made you so mad at AOC? Is he not one of the Israeli maniacs who just makes shit up? Serious question considering you interrupted your funny stupid stuff to talk about her for so long and I don’t see why you have decided she is lying vs him?

king_von_diesel

The gradual uwufication of conservatism will transform this country. Manosphere influencers will be touting the restorative benefits of crystal therapy, meditation, and reciting the shahada before beating their wives

Mojtaba HUSAYNI Khamenei

because Israel - US money = no more Israel. So the Biden admin never fucking tried for a ceasefire. Never. With ultimate leverage they never ever fucking tried to stop their holocaust. Of course AOC was fucking lying, we did not need this Israeli confession to prove that.

Peter Pearson

If you want extra commentary or directions on a movie, I'd recommend checking out Who Killed Captain Alex from Wakaliwood out of Uganda. You can watch the whole thing on YouTube for free. It's great

MKatieUltra

I found a tweet of my distant cousin who works for Steve Bannon (Nicole Nogrady) with Natalie Winters. It says “Hi Barbie!” and they’re at AMFEST 💀

Mfusion

he said plane Torgos

MKatieUltra

Yeah bottled water has been linked to all sorts of poor health outcomes, like for people who mostly have it instead of tap water

Paul F. Holzfäller

I never thought someone being gunned down by cops could ever be humorous until Ashli and the Pizzagate guy.

MKatieUltra

Will Blunderfield is the guy who eats his own cum and says all the homoerotic Celtic stuff, yeah he needs to be chronicled

Matthew

i really enjoyed it. i mean Pynchon on 9/11 …. come on. worth a shot

Matthew

we love alex!!!!!!

Ham Stroker’s Jackula

Felix is right! I'm so sick of these airport people and its time somebody did something!!!!

Max Joyner

Can't believe Felix lives in NYC and hasn't been to the Intrepid museum, fake plane fan smh

T

You're right, Kamala really was working tirelessly for a ceasefire YOU RUBE

Pelican Grief

Just make them hover over the water problem solved nerd

justdave

Put them all on tains!

Scott Larson

Alex needs to be a permanent member of the show

J P 3

Felix at the 50 minute mark. 100%.

Ben

Can Alex be on every episode

K H

White women were a mistake. Why would China make more?

K H

You can get in trouble releasing classified information like this.

K H

This is the time for some hail Marrys. All the 1 percents you got.

K H

No more elections. Congress by lottery, like jury duty. People can only vote to reshuffle and draw again.

K H

A gamer must have the heart of a man and the mind of a child.

Ham Stroker’s Jackula

How is there a second Vincent in the comments fanning themselves because chapo dunked on AoC’s useless ass? I’d at least expect different first names

Ham Stroker’s Jackula

Denying your support for someone who has failed is definitively not letting them off the hook.

Ham Stroker’s Jackula

This is true, it’s why those carnival cruise ships actually arrive at their destinations before they left

K H

AOC doesn't draw power from you. You lack power, or at least a mechanism that translates your power how you describe. If politicians drew power from you then, why are we here? Electoral politics is just channeling the brownian motion of everyone who hasn't given up on voting into a path that keeps this evil machine running. Option 1 is drive and option 2 is neutral or idle to let it cool down. You did nothing to Biden. That is delusional. The apparatus Biden came with or that brought him guided him to do what he did. He could pop a baby's skull and slurp the adrenochrome looking you dead in the eye and not even blink. To influence politicians you need a way to coordinate that was not built by a consulting firm or executive board. A union, a mafia, a gang, whatever. That is what you need. Without that you're just getting random noise you mistake for progress while you get taken toward the cliff.

K H

It is definitely Harkonen coded behavior.

K H

Alex forgot they literally did shoot down their own plane.

Zackary Kelley

I’m sorry it’s BDS but god dang that Sprite Chill Zero Sugar has been the best drink of the summer

Ahmed Razick

Good news everyone the US isn't winning WW3. Bad news is that it created a society so shit I worry the soldiers are nihilistic enough to launch their nukes if the order comes down.

S

Felix channeling Matt this ep

Justin

I’m sure that OPs point — that none of these folks are actually doing the organizing they claim is the alternatives to electoral politics — applies perfectly well to the people mocking him. Electoral participation in 2025 is corny as fuck, but what then do you call everyone doing nothing but being ironic online? Useful? Demonstrating integrity? What?

MonsoonMoon

I saw Alex as a guest. Cool he's going to pitch the live show. Nope.

Jessie Cherbak

Who’s that fellow who’s always standing and walking???

K H

Decent chance chatGPT assembly instructions don't let them fly accurately.

K H

A bannable book if anyone bothered to read it.

papabones

Abour an hour (51m to be exact) in, Felix gets too shouty. I don't find it funny or interesting to listen to. It's a shtick but it gets old fast.

Justin

Anne "Colt-hair"

Justin

(Or is Felix right and I've been pronouncing it wrong this whole time?)

Juan Suarez

The counterpoint being that you literally have no idea what people on the internet are doing in their personal lives, and being online says nothing about someone since the internet mediates all non-in-person interactions

Zachary J Rodell

Yeah, this person they are talking about is so boring it made them boring. It's a black hole of boredom.

etienne

its kinda like your job to go find interesting conservative nutcases to talk about, idk ...

Studio Novaya by Fredrick Edward

I’m not saying she was; I’m just confused about why this guy is suddenly credible… and how you’re *so sure* she wasn’t?

Salid Tahsaar

Pumped about the Will Blunderfield mention, even if the boys couldn't remember his name

Sam

He should be the third mic. 100%.

I was saying boo-lania

Its very easy for people who aren't doing anything but arguing online to hide behind a 'don't actually know if people online do organizing or not' defense. This argument in itself has no end though

Kinetics Video

Chapo coming for Contrapoints on the critique power meme. Here for it

Kinetics Video

I love hearing the origin story of Felix's soda reverence.

Kinetics Video

I know there's a lot of problems with the Greens, but they're our last chance for cranks in national politics, folks.

etienne

I had the separate problem where my parents would only buy garbage white bread and now as an adult I systematically treat myself to the brown bread that has 12 grains and seeds and costs 6$ for the short loaf

DarylBarenziah

I used to have a boss that drank on the job and boy did we take advantage of that cue to just do whatever vices we could while we were at work. Pete hegseth superstructure is definitely sleeping in to the marrow at this point. I think the rum might be back tbh

Kinetics Video

I want the Felix stage musical where he diagetically gets rapped at by schizophrenics so bad

Mojtaba HUSAYNI Khamenei

Israel cannot survive without America. Therefore Israel cannot say no to America. Democratic admin, and no ceasefire, means Democrats did not want ceasefire. Is that simple enough to understand?

I.P. Freely

Absolutely not. I eat the stir pb bc it has more fiber but Skippy clears on taste and it’s not close

Ryan Gullage

Gravity has a special quality. The grit and grime that covers the ideas has passed through writers like Peter Watts. Seemingly.

Joseph E.

The two Zeppelin aircraft carriers the navy built were lost to bad weather and they gave up, the cowards.

PostmasterFenian

I'd like to um actually your jokes about aircraft carriers. They cruise at 20 mph and can hit 30 mph and bank during maneuvers

Where’s this at?

Juan Suarez

Online is not a criticism. Everyone is online. YOU'RE online you freak!

Western elections have time and again proven to result in the least democratic outcomes.

He already has a job watching freaks on WFYM

Why take the time to dignify that recording with a response? This is regular shit-lib red bating. These people should not be addressed. They should be reminded that they are political dead weight, viciously mocked, and called gay. This is the only response they deserve.

Hospitality professional here: they offer you "sparkling or tap?" because they want you to buy an $8-11 bottle of san pellagrino

Alissa

Hell yeah Dynasty Warriors. Playing DW8, just unlocked Lu Bu.

James Mikulec

What is “plane torque-o” a reference to? It has to be a movie but the only thing google is showing is Borderlands (game)

Teddie all natural peanut butter is actually delicious.

MKatieUltra

Yeah the palm oil no stir stuff is sweet in a gross way a lot of the time

This is kind of funny, since I studied philosophy in college, not engineering. But one of the things I learned there is that philosophy is trying to understand the fundamental nature of reality, and reality includes ship design and hydrodynamics, so I tried to understand it, to the extent it deserves attention.

Felix at around 25:58. "The counterargument is always fuckin left wing people are allergic to power. Would you call this power, would you call this anything?" Ms Points has a clip that's been meme'd around about how "they [recalcitrant leftists] don't want to wield power. They want to endlessly critique power." Not the only person making that point, but one of the more prominent places it's come up.

Axel H.

I don't think it was a shtick, I think he was genuinely pissed off. Not exactly funny, but I did sympathize with the raw hatred for this kind of person and article.

Scot Forsythe

Primo Levy if he was a lunch 🥪 🤣

Will says “nuclear” like Dubya

Better let Pete Hegseth do the genocide until we can find the perfect candidate to run. That was clearly the best option. You people are unserious about the genocide and it shows.

Macon Leighton

I love you guys, but listening to the crew try to find the words "flight deck" when top gun came out 40 years ago was something else

Mojtaba HUSAYNI Khamenei

Yes the genocide was only unconscionable under Hegseth and Rubio. Under Biden-Harris, under Blinken and Sullivan it was only distasteful, it was only inconvenient and a bit gauche. Cunt.

have you considered inviting Alex to become a permanent Chapo member? the energy he brings fits in so well, you all have a great dynamic with him. ive been listening to old eps - just listened to ep 111, about Jeff Newsroom. everyone is on that ep - incl Brendan, Virgil, Amber. and its SO funny! after departures and Matt’s personal stuff, you have a shallow bench. you know that of course, and im not complaining - its all unavoidable and things change and i still love the show. both Will and Felix are hilarious, and so is Matt when he’s on and throwing out gems. these days the Alex eps are consistently the best :) and i just wanted to give him props and make that suggestion.
