The bucket has been filled.

By the way, Mambo No. 6 by Masayoshi Takanaka makes Lou Bega look like Lou Beta. Don't settle for Mambo No. 5.

Those are usually at 5pm Eastern, iirc.

There is a McKinley plinth in San Francisco’s panhandle

the riffing on Poland is what I needed this morning

Tea Ess

african pope would be great, the problem is finding a candidate that wouldn’t just immediately issue an encyclical condemning ‘gender ideology.’

Felipe Feliciano

Friday Afternoon Delight Chapo is my new favorite Chapo

Clarp Blarpkiss

The earliest known clown was Joseph Grimaldi, an Italian living in England. Fuck Chapo, I'm sick of this obvious tendency toward anti-Peirrotian revisionism. Did you know Will's dad helped publish Steven King's "It"? Stay woke.

Im stealing "fool around and be informed"

Clark D'Agostino

the !first known comedic plays (at least of the Greek traditions) are the Sicilian mimes

Travis Logel

Really wanted this one to end with Crash Test Dummies. Felt like a missed opportunity.

Speaking of Chauvet Caves, go read Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson!

Negative Affirmations

Got an extra ticket for the Brooklyn show 12/16. Friend I was gonna bring has to go to FL this week. Hmu if you're interested. Not charging a penny above what I paid (I'll even cover the service chg).

Red Army Commando

The difference between a clown and a jester is the difference between a line cook and a private chef

(omg did someone finally make fetch happen? 😹)

i love these vibey meandering episodes, always my favorites

etienne

its time we get a west african Success Business Win evanglist protestant pope. call it the Roman Bagtholic Church

Bobby Volcano

Hung over Chapo is top-tier Chapo

Bobby Volcano

(Belden A-Tier, Franczak B-Tier)

fxdpt

This ep definitely joins the canon of top tier chapo shooting the shit

Henry

Hung over Chapo slaps.

English Steven paddock bit slapeth

Evan Scott

they did. matt and felix are from the midwest, think they can't pronounce a basic polish name?

JV

i am going too become, the jester

FlawlessNirvana

[stares at a double gulp cup with cola stains] this is the cup of a carpenter

etienne

based on the comments alone i can deduce that this is probably the greatest ep since 2019

Isaac Jones

Here we have it folks, the annual "chapo episode that's basically a cumtown episode"

TugNuggins

You didn't specify the year, binch, corncob

Bobby Volcano

I was only halfway with you but then they checked the clock to see how much more

Bobby Volcano

But honestly, the best rich guy thing to have on your wall is definitely a 10' complete plesiosaur fossil, right? Human weapons are all B-tier when the deadliest sea hunter in the age of dinosaurs is only like $150k

orc

VIRGEL vs CHAD

Dan

BTW, the Lusitania was filled with munitions and war materiel that they were transporting covertly for the British, in addition to passengers. Weaponry has been found on the sunken shipwreck.

October

All this talk about furries reminds me of the Geek Hierarchy on the old Brunching Shuttlecocks website. IIRC, the bottom of the hierarchy was something like furries who write fanfic depicting themselves having sex with the main characters or something.

Nathan Weed

Can someone explain Matt's joke about Temple of Doom being Spielberg's most autobiographical movie?

Alex

Matt was on one this episode

Tomas

i assume its that hes a hollywood sicko and he likes to sacrifice people with his buddies

Nathan Weed

Excellent, thanks -- that squares. Not sure how I forgot how central ritual sacrifice is to that movie.

Gregory Martin

I want it on record that Maximilian Ferdinand was the Beto O'Rourke of the Hapsburg dynasty. Right down to the part where he spent years pretending to be Mexican.

Dontmindme27

American clown shows are almost exclusively minstrel shows until we get train car circuses in the 19th century; though clowns and fools have existed throughout history going back to 3k BC as ritual performers that violate social norms in specific contexts to maintain social harmony by providing a living example. You can learn more about it by going to clown college.

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

The other way Temple of Doom is autobiographical is that Spielberg was going through a divorce at the time so he decided to make the woman incredibly shrill and annoying

Adam Sullivan

I have an AAS in Country Music from Costco. My worms of the year are.. If the Rona Don't Do It -- Cactus Lee Backroads -- Lee Baggett Take Your Time -- Pearl Charles Deep Breath -- Riley Downing I'm going to DM Brace if he doesn't stop wearing cowboy hats.

Devon Menendez

I really hope they do an episode on the insane Masterclasses announced for George W Bush and Bill Clinton.

Justin Secor

Holy shit I can hear the Country music too! Like in the shadow of Felix and Will’s voices.

Brad Brew

STOP SAYING HOBBY LOBBY FUNDED ISIS. THEY FUNDED AL-QADAE! LOOK AT THE TIMELINE!!!!!

Eye Twenty-Six

When your fantasy of becoming fabulously wealthy is just vibing like Nick Mullen in chainmail

Jake Erickson

looked it up and apparently the first recorded practice of mimes was from an ancient greek play. so only off by a couple thousand years or so. that said i could totally see them being invented in the 60's, as some sort of baffling french art form as a part of the 60's revolutionary wave.

That Cy Vance prosecution agreement sounds like a huge gift. You can't be prosecuted twice for the same crime, so the net result of the agreement is that the antiquity thief is able to remove the legal cloud without having to face any real criminal sanction. Vance's successor takes over in another few weeks, and might have taken a more aggressive stance on prosecuting stolen antiquities. Par for course for Vance. One law for the rich and politically connected, another for everyone else. Gotta give him to him though, the press release is a work of art.

Barbara Tuchman's "The Guns of August" is a really good place to start and a pretty fast read. Adam Tooze's "The Deluge" is a great one for understanding the U.S. entry into WWI.

Post Void

Unironically, didn't Free Masons and/or the Shriners basically invent the americanized Clown?

Shake zula

I saw Hilary has one about how to be a winner too lol

Baron

Jeez where’s the Cum boys when you need them

dddilettante

Father Phil Intintola erasure

Michael Barbarich

Death should be ashamed of itself when it comes for Harrison Ford.

Jessica S

The 90s were kind of a one-hit wonder altogether.

Bob K Ross

shark tank pic or unsub. also TERCIO FAN ART NOW!

Andrew Fedje, Conduit of Corn

This week's episode of Cum Town was great. Well worth the wait. That being said, not enough Stavy laugh and even gayer than normal. 3/10

John cawley

I am on mushrooms this is fun

Matt Landrie

Will's got that hungover, cocaine stuffed nose thing going on.

Ozzie

He’s going to fool around and be informed 😂

Recursive Audio

who is trying to fool around and get butterstuffed?

Breakaway

The woman in Raiders of the Lost Ark is a total bad ass, so this explains the change.

Mark Schneider

Damn, man. Do we have to have multiples? . . . I like your first name spelling better, it's more French and sophisticated.

Mark Schneider

Aaaand, you even copied my little fox Nym!! Feels like stalking

Mark Schneider

Good scholarship on the fake martyr relics, guys!! One of the purported Saints used by the preacher brat who inspired the Children's Crusade was a dead "Saint" who still had "milk teeth", e.g. baby teeth!! Source-- Evan S. Connell. A child's skeleton used by religious fanatics to send children to their death or enslavement by the Saracens!! Gotta love the irony.

Tyler Sambucci

Clowns are required to acquire a degree from an accredited clown school whereas jesters don’t have any pre-requisites

Matt Crossin

Definitely could go for more riff episodes like this

Jessica Rios

More of just you guys talking shit. Less of guests. More CUSHVLOGS please!!

Emmanuel Arce

Germany invaded plucky little Belgium making it more difficult for them to wokely administer the Belgian Congo.

Nora

Fleabag is amazing😭 Please watch! Season 1 is much better than season 2;I hated the priest and Fleabag’s romance with him, but that is in season 2! And yet, season 2 is still so good!! Watch Killing Eve too lol

Marisa

Justice 4 Fleabag

helvetica.hottie

Hey, so on the same note as relics and shit, once the Protestants got all mad and did away with relics, they started collecting shit into "cabinets of curiosity" and started the entire museum culture thing back in the late 1600s. Just to be fun, there was this whole cottage industry around Frankenstein-ing fish and other sea creatures to make little specimens of sea monsters. There were at least a few Danish and German nobles and monarchs that had "basilisk" specimens.

Paul Patterson

You guys should donate $1 to charity for every time you unnecessarily say like, I think you could cure cancer with that money.

Gabe Gill

Crash Test Dummies GOATED

Michael Landreth

When you have fully invested in the idea that culture can no longer have any systemic relevance, you must avoid any new cultural artifacts that might represent a contribution to human artistic achievement. It is more gratifying, if less challenging, to shit on the MCU and insist how that shows all culture is now empty and meaningless.

Rorie

Matt's pronunciation of Albany at the end is how the identically named town in Western Australia is pronounced

Boaz Corey

I knew a guy who sold weed to Ford in the pre- American Graffiti days. Lived near him in Topanga Canyon when Ford was doing carpentry on the side. He did show me a photo of them together.

Blingo Starr

More hungover b.s.ing, prep less for episodes, no guests but zizek

Patrick Taffe

One of the best episodes yet, love when you guys go on history tangents <3

Fat_H

This one fucking rules thanks!

Leon Sugarfoot

Can we get a pod about Elon's all-time greatest clap backs on twitter?? Him calling liz warren senator Karen was pretty damn legendary

The Children of Jack Acid

Those Catholic churches didn't show femurs just for people to look at. People believed literally that just touching the relic--or even touching the glass that the relic is stored behind, or touching that glass with a card and then touching that card to your grandma's forehead days later back home--could cure different diseases, or provide luck for a journey, or make a pregnancy go well, etc, depending on what saint the bone belonged to. There were even, no lie, saint relics where you were supposed to take your cat and press her crotch up against the glass of the case they were in, and doing THAT was supposed to make the cat not get pregnant. And don't forget also that MANY of these relics had this even MORE powerful ability: to get you access to heaven despite the fact that you couldn't stop thinking about some dude's butt.

The Children of Jack Acid

And it's both true and not true that the church "knew" the bones weren't real. In the Baroque period, the church folks in Rome stumbled onto a bunch of catacombs that had been filled up with bodies in the first few centuries AD. A lot of the catacombs were marked with an "M," and they assumed that must stand for "Martyris", meaning that these were all a bunch of Christian martyrs. (In reality it probably stood for "Marcus" or "Marcellus" or "Majora" or whatever the person's name had been in life, but the Baroque-era Church didn't know that, and there wasn't a big impetus to think about it much.) So, they decided all these corpses were martyrs. And if they were martyrs, "hey, we might as well make them Saints." And since they didn't know the actual names of these bodies, they would just assign them names like "Valentinus" or "Paulus" or whatever--it was just a name so they'd have something to call it, but wasn't supposed to mean anything more than that. And then they would send these full skeletons to little remote churches throughout the entire known Roman Catholic world of Europe and beyond, many of whom needed relics to encourage their congregations to stay, while also attracting donations by the aristocracy and visitors on pilgrimage--especially if they were in borderline areas where Protestantism was catching on! Seeing as how some churches previously grew famous for just having a shard of St. Jerome's hip bones, you can imagine how attractive it might be to attend a church with the entire BODY of a saint! But then a second misunderstanding happened, because these podunk little-hamlet Swiss Catholic priests or whatever would get a skeleton named "Saint Valentine" and think it was THE Saint Valentine, and be like "DUDE WE HAVE THE ENTIRE BODY OF SAINT VALENTINE!" and then spend a fortune having nuns weave gold eyeballs on it and pose it so it looked like it was sitting up on a divan. I feel like neither mistake--neither the "these random skeletons must be saints" step in Rome nor the "this Saint Anthony must be THE Saint Anthony" step out in the boondocks of Holland--were conscious deceptions, because the people who came up with this stuff believed it themselves. But somewhere in the back of their minds, they must have had some serious secret doubts. Surely at some point, in EVERY church, some naive little lay friar MUST have said "but this can't be Saint Anthony. Didn't the Prince Regent of our duchy write that he had see Saint Anthony's toe in Prussia (when our army was there murdering Germans)? How can THIS skeleton have all its toes if at least one toe is in a cathedral in Heidelberg?" And maybe there was a long silence, until finally some older padre at the back exclaimed, "Aha! Those German swine have a FAKE Saint Anthony toe!" And the very next day, the Prince Regent marched back to Prussia to murder more Germans.

Grant Larson

He ruins all his clapbacks pre-emptively by being such a cringey narcissistic dork, imo.
