Chris is so right brutal is such a banger

Dustin Nelson

Relieved it's not a reinactment like that Try Hard episode the other year; that was the worst content the show's ever released

TugNuggins

DISAPPOINTED!!!!!! WHERE IS MY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS SLOP

werp

you're a coward

Culver’s making it big time. If you love diarrhea get a double bacon butter burger deluxe with a root beer float

Greg

Bzzt wrongo

Ian

No.

Eric Murphy

Oreo concrete and the buffalo chicken tenders when they finally get them back. And cheese curds obviously. Gastrointestinal nightmare👌

Dustin Nelson

It's ok to admit that episode was bad, come on guys.

Give China "Rich Piana, Poor Piana".

I have a Culver’s in my town but have yet to try it. Will take this into consideration.

Shimosanz (Brian Sanchez)

Ah just what I needed to help me finish the last shift before Christmas weekend.

Try Hard is a timeless classic

I still have no fucking idea what this Go Brandon shit is or who the fuck is Lev Parnas

Ironic AF to post on a current events oriented podcast ... That's what you're going for?

Joe Freeman

the bit about the wolf spirits holy fuck lmao

HeyB00B00

I must have missed that episode🤷🏼‍♂️

Aaron Baer

Admit Deez Nutz you jack rabbit ... (Merry Xmas though)

Ron Kooby

its an invite to the frank stand

Michael Landreth

Matt recognizing the horror of a mass of people finally arriving at the Capitol but motivated by a reality show outcome rather than a reckoning with material conditions then laughing at that difference as if it is inconsequential… that scares me far more than anything that happened on January 6th.

Public school lunch in LA is (among other delights) hamburgers in sealed cellophane wrappers microwaved by cafeteria staff (no actual cooking on the premises anymore, just microwaving sealed food). But don’t worry — there’s an American flag on the packaging!

Lauren Cabral

1:03:44 God I fucking hate the science illiteracy of these fucking journalists. No it was not shown to do that. Like one paper comes out that completely contradicts the collective sum of human knowledge, and if its physics related, journos go ape shit.

Taiwan (China) is also the largest center of high end bicycle manufacturing.

The vaccine booers are a vocal minority (although a big one) so I don’t know if that’s the issue that would give DeSantis an edge but there’s also all the conflicted morons that are vaccinated but also think they’re against it somehow or won’t get the booster or whatever so who knows

Weird how the "news quiz" lowkey indoctrinates young children to believe certain talking points and historical revisions

To qualify the discussion on health, I do think switching to a non-inflammatory diet is very helpful to people suffering from autoimmune diseases like myself. I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and I had to switch to a gluten-free diet because gluten is similar to proteins in the thyroid. In general I have to be very careful around inflammatory foods because of my condition. Unfortunately, the modern medical system just isn't good at treating immune disorders. I've basically been suffering from Long COVID for most of my life.

Is the flag also edible?

How nice of you brocialists to joke around and have goofs when they're making Orcs. I had to sell my Christmas presents to buy enchantments.

Kevin Pinner

The Three Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu is literally about the Chinese secretly making first contact with aliens. A Chinese scientist at a government base during the ‘70s secretly transmits and receives messages with aliens in the closet solar system 4 light years away, leading to a slow burn geopolitical, philosophical masterpiece. Chinese dudes love this trilogy, especially tech dudes. Source: read the books and lived there.

Critical support for the Space Launch System against Musk propaganda. If you want to launch a Voyager successor to deep space, that's your rocket, not Musk's glorified Space Shuttle 2.0.

IHaveHemorrhoids

It's strange you guys were all about healthier school lunches but kinda laughed at the idea of healthier prison food. I get the angle you're coming from - yeah obviously the system needs massive overhauls. Not sure how that makes it less of a good idea in a vacuum. I can say with extreme confidence inmates want real food before they want a phone. The phone is gonna be available. Healthy food is way less accessible in our current prisons and jails than cell phones are. Anyways, merry Xmas guys. Chapo is always a great way to wake up.

Doug Cartel

they're probably just mad that an annexation of Taiwan would mean China could make better GPUs

Starry Pr1nce

Vegan for two years plus doing fitness, concentrating on being a father and husband, never felt better despite being online. Highly recommend plant based if you have the time to cook for yourself.

What kid is doing the NYT news quiz

Dante

Sadly I think the Chinese are aware of American culture being a virus since they started to clean up their celebrates form being creepy pesos and banned failsons of stars form being in films

PawngWater

Ranchers had the same reaction to prairie dogs as they did to wolves. Tragic.

William

Healthy food in prison is like giving people in hell a cup of ice water. They don't say it doesn't help just that you could spend the same energy making an improvement on something that would have a more meaningful improvement on the lives of prisoners

William

Aspiring wonks

IHaveHemorrhoids

Yeah I get the angle, trust me. It's still a net positive. If that's the point they're making, it's strange they launched into the case for cell phones in prisons. If it's having a cup of ice in hell, then so is having phones. Which are more accessible in prisons currently than healthy food. Also it's not like our education system is the best. So you could argue that giving students healthy lunch is totally missing the point of our education system needing far bigger and more important changes just like you're arguing how healthy food in prisons is a tiny part of a larger problem that needs to be addressed in the way we handle prisons. I'm not really upset about it or anything. I just think it's interesting how they flip flopped the way they look at those two places potentially getting healthier food.

KatrinaJadeHelm

Even when it’s not up my alley, I appreciate the scripted stuff for the effort. Big holiday softie over here. Also the die hard one in particular had Branson’s “I’m gonna abolish NICE” line, which is an all-timer

Shake zula

Felix comparing Eric Adams to a Me 262 or Me 163 is fucking great lmao

Jeff Martin

Following the news is kind of for babies. We have a lot of people putting all their energy into online arguments and shit like that. Take a fun class or something.

is the answer the Supreme™ Court?

Nobody

Do people really think if those rioters actually got to Pelosi they'd just like yell at her?

Garth Hillsborough

No recent American action movie matches the modern Chinese classic, 'Let The Bullets Fly' directed by Wen Jiang; children would recognise him as long hair man from Rogue One, a movie for children.

Nobody

Same reason we don't want fascist overthrows of latin american governments

Shimosanz (Brian Sanchez)

Uh in LatAm those overthrows are uniformly backed by the highest ranks of those countries militaries, as well as the US state department and media complex. Something that didn't remotely happen here. Nonsense comparison.

Kenneth Smith

I thought Matt lived in LA? Not part of cascadia

Garth Hillsborough

don't worry about a fascist overthrow of the us government you squishy little socdem babe, you already live in the fourth reich.

Conor

They would eat all her ice cream

Jeff Martin

That's right Ben. Except it doesn't have to be for the man. It can be for yourself

Kevin Price

Gene Wolfe is the absolute goat

Kevin Price

Hell yes it’s worth it. Excellent books. Deaths end, the last one, is the best

John Swan

Obama loves this trilogy too. Third book spins out of control and lands in a dumpster of woo “science” but everything else up to that point is really great.

John Swan

It’s weird because not every paper makes the journos ape out. There were way bigger contradictions made this year with far higher significance than the stupid ducking muon stuff.

John Swan

Why shoot only one rocket into space when you can shoot 20 rockets to get the same effect???

"the bad people" on the left got involved in crypto? Really, Felix? Eat a dick, dude. You're funny and smart, and all. Enough so for me to give you five bucks a month, even when I had to fucking sell plasma to do it, since 2016, but I gotta do what I gotta do to get by. I make cheese powder, dude. Before that I worked a bunch of shitty service industry jobs, just BARELY skating by, after my small manufacturing business died a miserable, protracted death in the fallout from 08. You ever have a petite bourgeois 31 year old Armenian frat boy walk up behind you and jam their thumb in your ass, then call you a faggot, while you're trying to work his restaurant's flat top grill during a mad, two blocks from the Big House U of M football rush, and you have to just grin and bare it since you're quite literally one lost paycheck away from homelessness? No, you had family to fall back upon? It must be fucking nice. I didn't draw a paycheck the entire last year and I fucking lost absolutely everything. You've been living the life of a fucking pasha while I've been getting murdered out here. I have a disabled child to worry about. I'm gonna flip shitcoins during a crypto bull run to squeeze whatever meager scraps of capital that I can while I physically toss thousands of pounds of cheese and cut open and dump hundreds of 55lb bags of powder into industrial cookers to make the slurry that gets dried into Cheetos powder for $24.81/hr. I'm in my 40's and I can't do this shit forever. If you can learn to somewhat read a chart and get in early enough, you can turn a little bit of money into considerably more. Even if you're late you can still add 5-20% as long as you don't get greedy. I'm doing what I gotta do.

Vincent Utah

Okay, I’ll drink the castrol oil.

Vincent Utah

What is necessary? Stand out on the street corner with a sign and scream until I catch covid? Sacrifice one of the two meals I eat each day so I can throw money at campaigns that eat shit before the primaries? Show up to a meeting where half the people get bored and leave within the first 20 minutes while the other half bicker on about what to do next and get nothing done?

Smoothbrain

Felix will not see this, my guy.

Hank Single

Hey, I hope things get a bit easier for you, friend.

Vincent Utah

If you’re supporting a disabled child and you’ve been struggling financially, I recommend NOT spending $5 a month on a political satire podcast.

Ben Stousland

the Curd Burger is 100x as complex as they’re making it out to be. It’s not just cheese curds on the burger, there’s an entire patty shaped cheese curd on top of the burger patty. Don’t disrespect the curd burger like that Fellas

Michael Barbarich

Hey Vinny, kindly eat my entire hairy Croatian asshole. I'm not struggling anymore as I'm breaking 60k (with ot) and outstanding union benefits in a low cost of living area. With flipping assorted sundry shitcoins and magic internet monies it's closer to 80k. Even when I was taking home $19K, that $5 a month was worth it to me. Don't be a spend-shaming cuck over a lousy sixty bucks a year. I can't imagine the lecture you'd give me if I told you that I did, indeed, drink soda instead of toilet water while I was poor. Also, IDGAF if Felix doesn't see this. I wanted to howl into the abyss after he said that, and this is as good as an abyss as any. Maybe I'm not smart and funny enough to have people gimme $5 a month, but I can scalp the next degenerate gambler that's dumber than I am during a crypto bull run.

William Beamish

Anything we can do to alleviate suffering in our massive torture center prisons is a good idea. We should push for all of this as well as reduced sentences, abolition and everything in between. The guys did mention the slave labor aspect as well - I think they were generally on point, it's just not something they went into depth on

William Beamish

One of the biggest perks about being rich is being able to afford to buy organic foods. There are metastudies out recently that show totally organic diets lower concentration of some known carcinogens introduced by Monsanto and other large companies by huge amounts (70% or something IIRC). This stuff aint woo bullshit - i thought it was for years but it's either be rich enough to buy healthy food or eat small amounts of poison mixed in with your food. Poor people die sooner

Andy Tawse

Merry Xmas chapos. Thanks for keeping me entertained, even when I disagree with you

Jessica Rios

Great episode guys! Merry Christmas!

Vincent Utah

Hey don’t threaten me with a good time bitch. I’ve eaten worse.

Merry war on Christmas

Thank god ghislaine will be able to get her vegan jail meals

PSA: contrary to popular belief, olive oil smoking while cooking doesn't actually mean it's doing anything bad for you, there's an Adam ragusea video on it.

Crosley Querin

Outro is August Darnell - Christmas on Riverside Drive. That ol' San Bernadino can get a grip on you.

Gengeros

Something not mentioned is how the air and environment we interact with is full of god only knows what kind of chemicals, radiation and mico-plastics we are absorbing every day. This is something no individual can deal with, no one. No one government can, we need worldwide communism.

Lesley Anne Noelle

since my health was wrecked by this, i do HIGHLY recommend that every building be Hepa Filtered. It’s amazing, if I’ve taken a pain pill, and go into a Hepa filtered building, i get high as a kite. it affects: everything. Jordan Chariton has found all sorts of little Flint wreckage all across America, and now Abby Martin is looking at what the sludge United States Military leaves in its wake. Gasoline in your babies bath water …? 🤬 America.

Lesley Anne Noelle

idk what the ‘Go, Brandon’ ‘thing’ is, either…time to look it up 👀

Gengeros

I know all to well about being poisoned by the US government. My grandfather was in the marines and while sanctioned at Camp Lejeune, my grandmother, aunt, and mother all got a mild form of cancer from the contaminated water at the base.

Lesley Anne Noelle

you’re welcome…you just made me vomit. okay, i didn’t vomit, but dayamn, i felt like it. where’s the whey …??

Chris said there was going to be a heavily produced but non-Christmas episode. Don't know whether that's going to be the next episode or the one after that, but he must be doing a lot of work either way. The Daughter's Meatballs radio play? Tabletop Game Theory? A New Year's episode? A hog can dream.

Jonathan G

heard whisper of new this is sus. Anyone else dream that?

A Skinwalker is basically a native american "feral man" who turns into a wolf and possess people, but kind of just vibes a bit then goes away. A Fleshgait is what most often think are Skinwalkers, but are essentially the replicants from "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers", often noted to have an obsession with the woods and campouts after being turned. The former is from actual native american lore I believe, the latter could very well be a NEET created cryptid to intimate those who enjoy sunshine and touching grass.
