FRESH GIMME GIMME

Glorious slop

J. A.

Bro this is literally the first time I've paid for an episode

Labrooks7875

Yeah why we hearin the ad break at the beginning?

Jeffrey Ditter

Oh thank God, you were keeping me jonesing with this holiday!

Jake Zydek

now we choose to either move forward, or backward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling toward freedom

A RHINO

tell my wife, hello

CJ

Damn Will is ON ONE in this episode

NYCM&AHole

You didn’t know that truss told Russia they can’t have control over parts of Russia?

David

Fuck your limp dick merch, too

Brendan Garcia

You could easily find and deputize 12 assholes who would give their life to be imprisoned with Donald Trump and serve as his secret service. With the added benefit that being forced to live in proximity to his most devoted supporters would inevitably cause him to Epstein himself.

Gordon Schmidt

What if Bill Nelson blowing his reelection in 2018 was a calculated move to put a literal fraudster in charge of the NRSC?

A RHINO

They'll build trump his own prison in the jungles of Florida, Like Escobar

J P 3

They used a special master in the Michael Cohen case. In both cases a bunch of documents are swept up as part of the initial search. The special master reviews documents to see what's responsive to the initial search warrant, including filtering out materials from investigators that may be protected in some way. The difference in this case is that Trump is invoking "executive privilege" as grounds for filtering out some materials. Unlike Cohen, Trump and his team also waited more than a week to argue for a special master, while his team floundered around figuring out its PR and legal strategy (meaning that investigative teams have probably already reviewed a significant amount of material that they seized). Of course there's also the question of a former president potentially treating top secret documents as his personal property. Who knows where this goes, but I still think Trump is probably going to push things to such a degree that he ends up effectively prosecuting himself.

Joshua Garcia

Old people love getting ripped off through cyberspace.

The Fine Art Revolution

Damn, rip to Barbara. Great and touching send off from you Will. I read nickel and dimed in 9th grade civics class in 2010 and I still remember passages of it today. Has anyone done a follow up study or recreated her work in Nickel and Dimed? Everything is so much worse and I think her work should be honored with an update.

Robert Cullimore

Truss’s dad is a socialist economist lecturer at Leeds university and has disowned her for being a Tory, that old bat is Edwina Currie famous for near destroying the egg industry in the 90’s and shagging John Major when he was PM

Robert Cullimore

We also eat Penguins here in the UK but they are chocolate biscuits

Charlie

Debs ran for president from jail

Michael S. Judge

OK – here it comes – a dragon. Wings, shining scales, fangs dripping blood. And what have I got? A lasso. And I wrestle that dragon. I wrestle it to the ground. I say, "Sit," dragon sits. I say, "Stay," dragon stays. Tomorrow we're going to teach it to roll over. Great day, everyone. We fought against the day and we won.

Michael S. Judge

Liz Truss sounds like she's doing a fake British accent

Aaron Baer

How's your sex life guy ? Maybe you get your dragon some company, yeah?

Andrew Cross

trump going the Lyndon LaRouche route

N

Pig Fuck!

Savannakhet

French colleague of mine reckons that Macron is secretly gay and that his school teacher is his beard.

Savannakhet

Was that the salmonella thing? I grew up convinced that uncooked eggs would make you very sick.

BigBoto

Welcome aboard, fellow paypig!

Robert Cullimore

Yeah that’s it, it was utter bollocks, there was a serious issue with Spanish eggs at the time with salmonella but not British ones

JV

"caucus of tory PMs"

B2B Commuter

Michigan republicans put in place the rules about spacing and punctuation during the moment where they knew about the flint water crisis and the general public didn’t to save Rick Snyder’s ass from a recall.

Ian Woods

It’s pretty funny how blatantly the GOP is equating essential characteristics with someone’s political position on capital gains or their belief in creationism. “Make Bigots a Protected Class Again”

Thomas Stevens

I really hope Trump gets convincted and sentenced to house arrest because I can’t imagine the level of technical mistakes his staff would make trying to zoom call into a debate.

Doug Cartel

before we understood that trump was all talk and no action, and that the feds were only going to be slightly more vicious than usual, a friend of mine had stopped eating for a month after the 2016 election because he was 100% certain he was going to get black-bagged by the feds at any moment over his Bush-era political antics, so yeah, pretty funny that all the MAGA losers are freaking out over this sleepwalker's speech.

Doug Cartel

"Charge rape victims with crimes" [everybody disliked that.]

etienne

she's going to accidentally declare war with Belarus and then sink the whole island under the north atlantic. can't wait

etienne

prayers up for the good people of England. nothing specific happened, they just live there

Steven L

A Game riffs on this one

Doug Cartel

liz truss-beam thank you im here all week

justdave

#cancel Atticus finch #believeallwomen

Doug Cartel

Boris' role in getting so many ukrainians needlessly slaughtered has led to his nickname "the Bane of Ukraine"

Ian Woods

Not even PSH could save ‘The Master’. Fuck that movie was boring

Ozzie

Dark Brandon is the new Jeepers Creepers reboot for Republican audiences.

Baron

New microphone for Felix when

Steve D

The dirt on macron is that he has a crush on the very same special master that will be reviewing the documents. Again, 4d chess from DJT.

Paul larkin

Might be just me but it seems that Chapo episodes just don't hit the same anymore. Not trying to disparage the boys, I'm still a fan but lately it's been kinda meh.

Isaac Kalish

Not sure if this has been said already, but Matt's understanding of the Special Master is largely right. They are an exceptional appointment, usually a more experienced attorney or retired judge, but the appointment is common enough. A common-enough scenario where a special master gets appointed: a lawyer is accused of getting in on a fraud scheme, the feds or state police execute a search warrant on their office and seize their files. The police here can't just be permitted to read notes of conversations between the lawyers and their clients in the course of searching for the fraud evidence, so the special master is appointed to sort through the documents and make decisions about what can be seen by the prosecution and what get sealed or returned to the defendant/lawyer/ex-lawyer.

JN

I had to read that book in HS as well and this was in like 2005, so pre economic meltdown, deep in the bush years where I was a angry lib teenager. Was assigned it by a fairly right wing teacher too. One of those few times you go "Did they fuck up? Did they accidentally assign me a good book for once?"

Yacobum

Global politics and society is meh, Chapo felt different when there was a tangible sense of hope. Then it felt different when that hope was taken and replaced with grievance. Then it felt different when there was a global plague.... now... its business as usual. All that edging for what lol.

Cory Loomis

Actually shocked matt c has never heard of a judge appointed special master

Devyn Parks

‘The Special Master’ sounds like a Pod About List episode title

Nick Nobel

Rick Scott looks like John Waters Dracula.

AJS

FWIW: my father was appointed special master by a federal judge in the 90s after it was discovered the public housing program in Wash DC was being looted by local officials (the mayor was giving section 8 vouchers away as Xmas presents). The judge put the program in receivership and my father's job was essentially to do the investigation/analysis of the abuses the court-appointed receiver would then use as a blueprint. He grew up in DC so he loved it, but as a white man working in an almost entirely black population, he begged them to give him any title other than "master."

Liam

honestly? they need a fourth mic. They have some pretty great frequent guests like david roth. just someone to insert some new stuff into the dynamic

etienne

I loved that part in Halo 2 where they send the Special Master Chief to help the Arbiter of Truth review some documents

J

Fake Bosch fans ^^^. Honey Chandler Special Master tha goat

etienne

they're never gonna be as electric as up to like 2017 but they're still at the top of my rotation. the only pod I found that approaches chapo is Trashfuture. But yeah I wouldn't say 4th mic but maybe just get back into the groove of having guests almost every week. and more movie reviews and single-focus eps

etienne

reese-mogg at a actual money position is scorched fucking earth. they're gunning for bread riots at that point.

H G

need more episodes like last one where matts limited to one sentence

K H

God damn let Flex finish a fucking riff. My god. A guy can't get a fuckin riff out here. Cman!

Jeanne

Build borris back better

nicedickdude

Keffals is an actual pedophilic autogynephile who encouraged underage children to document their atrophied genitals after sending them bootleg chemicals to undermine their puberty. I know Will is a Tier 1 Coomer but this is a bit much for anyone who still considers themselves normal.

Leslie Cox

Obligatory KF is a trash place disclaimer, but it's definitely a sign of bad things to come on the internet for it to be taken down like this. I knew this would be their take on it but it's hard not to feel like this is the beginning of the end for this phase or era of the internet.

Mic Volks

Will, Bosch - S04E02 (Dreams of Bunker Hill) - 4:20 - The Special Master...

nicedickdude

All bc keffals made up a swatting story with guns drawn when police came to confiscate her computer for CP. The swatting never happened! Cops knocked and were let in by a roommate.

Alex Gullen

Somewhat bizarrely, a decent performance on its face in the first PMQ’s today with seemingly well articulated answers to questions.

tabbyswipe

Chris chan is not a "she" he has been fucking manipulated into thinking he is by his fucked obsessives....it's okay to call him he.

Jonathan G

needed more context for the twitch thing at the end. two sentences even

Julie Baxter

Will, would love to listen to Barbara Ehrenreich's ep. Could you please tell me which number?

etienne

fascinating to seeing *you* with *that* avvi say that because it's named for the japanese for "miss mental illness" and I first saw it on a subreddit for closeted trans people but go off I guess

tabbyswipe

Lol I am trans and have gladly transitioned years ago. Chris chan is like, lol, insane. So it's so funny when ppl gender them as female. Also,,,,, v silly to kno this much about an avi,, God forbid anyone like a cute aneee may girl :3

etienne

okay gotcha. yeah I'm going to basically agree with yon on Chris

Lo

If you guys got a hoot out of “special master,” the alternate term for a third-party who is called into determine if a set of documents are subject to privilege or can be disclosed in the normal course of discovery is a “taint team”

Bockrocker

I thought KF was kinda like a lipstickalley/shaderoom/tmz type place, except instead of gossip about celebrities it was about some internet nobody you'd vaguely heard of once or twice but who somehow has a thread with 10k replies

nicedickdude

You’re so close to getting it lmao

Evan Scott

Where do you people come from

etienne

I didn't know anything about this story so far but I'm reading here on the CBC that someone online impresonated her to send death threats to a bunch of canadian politicians and then she spent 8 hours in detention. is that also made up by her or what's the deal here. are you gonna say that's just fair game online bloodsports?

Baron

Looking forward to Will’s soon to be Hack from Cumtown phase, where every ep is just him reading the paper going “ugh, what’s that?”

Evan Scott

One of the most depressing phenomena of the current moment is people doing like a bruce Springsteen "glory days" thing but the high school experience of days gone by that they're having fantasies about is being a 15 year old shithead on 4chan

David Heslin

If by “boring” you mean “good” then yes

David Heslin

I have no idea whether any of this is true but if you use the word “autogynephile” you have officially been spending way too much time on mumsnet

etienne

okay great so Keffals is online friends with someone who teaches people how to produce clandestine hormones, and participated in a discord server where allegedly some mild sexual jokes were exchanged with someone who has joked about being 13 years old. that's basically what I gathered from going on the worst forums. This seems to be morally on a plane comparable to teaching people how to perform abortions using misoprostol at home

etienne

god you know what this Keffals story is reminding me of? *Gamergate*. the original flamewar with a IRL casualty count

andrew rogers

Not sure if Will proposing a Teen Pope was just yes-anding Matt or a direct reference to Hollywood Handbook, even if it was the former we r blessed to have finally had Will and the Boys together

james

Fuck KF but Keffals, unfortunately, is bad.

etienne

hey where can I see the fucked up genitals. I'm on an archive of kiwifarms and all I see are tedious people getting owned online by a cool trans activist and crying about it edit: okay fine I forgot the alleged individual was underage. perhaps convincing evidence that this episode happened IRL would be nice to have, instead?

Evan Scott

Is she? She seems at worst annoying

Evan Scott

It's the classic "I'm not anti trans but it's disgusting and teenagers shouldn't have any agency over themselves. Also I hate adult trans people but that's just a coincedence"

Evan Scott

It's just "lgbtq people are groomers" bullshit

blackFFillip

why the fuck did you hyphenate that

CJ

He’s funny, goofy, rowdy, and having a good time

blackFFillip

No, you’re right. This ep is dogshit and they’re teetering on the edge

Bilbo

Keffals is based.

blackFFillip

it’d help if his delivery wasn’t all over — sloppy

blackFFillip

this is the most lib comment section in two years at least jfc

Bilbo

@nicedickdude None of that is true and is the narrative been peddled by the KF users. Why are you here?

Bilbo

@nicedickdude None of that is true and is the narrative been peddled by the KF users. Why are you here?

etienne

he's rootin, he's tootin, he's hollerin

Leslie Cox

I dont care about Keffals or KF, but this will go down as a net bad for the state of the internet.

blackFFillip

a lot of people are saying this

Marcus

Puppy Pope!!!

Shiv

yes. we need a no-growth pope

etienne

I don't think I can completely agree with that even on your terms. The problem with Kiwifarms is that they were under an insane amount of pressure from DDoS attacks, and Cloudflare was basicaly the only company that was *able* to protect them and they did it for *extremely* cheap. And they decided to drop them. Cloudflare was doing them a huge solid acting as their front end for all those years. Kiwifarms managed to snap the elastic band of freedom of speech online at every step of the way and they found themselves completely alone save for one company that didn't even know what they were. And then they heard. like if they have a specific message they need to put out, there's nothing stopping them from doing that using just about any other method besides, being a convenient free web board protected for free by a third party

etienne

^ going real hard for the champion of hating the show the most for this week

CJ

We love to see it don’t we folks

Gorgeousgeorge

I just binge watched the last 4 eps and they were all awesome, I like the normal ones with no guests and just vibing

Leslie Cox

it will be funny when they shut down patreon and substack using this same reasoning. we'll have 4 websites and we'll like it.

David Heslin

Whether or not there’s any truth to it, it’s been a widely publicised rumour for years! Kind of surprised no-one mentioned it. Would also fit with Trump seeing it as juicy gossip given he’d be the first to shrug off a guy having str8 affairs

David Heslin

“Tedious people” is a nice way of saying “absolute fucking losers”

J. A.

Shut the fuck up carelord

J. A.

It sounds like he dropped it at one point

Evan Scott

I'm not trying to be mean but I can't imagine how much of a brain dead FAS case you have to be to draw an equivalence between patreon and kiwifarms

Leslie Cox

i'm just old enough to have seen how these kinds of things go in reality, hopefully yall will be old one day too, and hopefully i'll be wrong and the internet won't be fully corralled into a handful of corporately moderated sites.

AKorgar

Same culture of internet freaks involved, tbh, all those 4chan/encyclopedia dramatica creeps

AKorgar

Who let the alt-right shithead in here

AKorgar

I love to go on a country drive in my autogynephile

AKorgar

Hey guys just want to say that Will Matt and Felix murdered me and my whole family and if you don't hate the pod then you murdered me too

AKorgar

No but seriously as far as Chapo being good when there was a sense of hope, I mean I remember how electric it was when we believed that Bernie might pull it off, and we had this powerful feeling of kinship and solidarity, it was honestly amazing but keep in mind, this show started only a while before the 2016 election and really took off after Trump was elected and a bunch of American lefties became SUPER doompilled

AKorgar

How much of a loser do you have to be to be so obsessed with this one fucking wreck of a person on the internet. Fucking bottom feeders are worse than the people who worship Twitter beefing celebrities

AKorgar

About as sloppy as that BJ your mom gave me

AKorgar

Did someone say Special Master Chef because I'm hungry :)

Jonathan lees

Raise your pint of piss for Boris

K H

Hell yea dude

Alex Gullen

As an ex-Shell employee it does make her appointments and likely policy approaches perhaps more understandable…

Post Void

That jingle lead me to a Malaysian Siemens Service hotline.

nicedickdude

I’m 15 on discord sending nudes to trans activists at their request

nicedickdude

Ironically you can also learn how to be trans on mumsnet

nicedickdude

I’m here because I thought if I supported left wing causes wed get public healthcare but the people here are pretty inert and rotten

nicedickdude

You can read the London chief of police’s comment on the investigation.

etienne

"The arrest and confiscation of Sorrenti’s equipment resulted in online trolls attacking her with false claims of having child pornography, a common trope used to attack transgender people. [London police Deputy Chief Trish] McIntyre confirmed nothing like that existed, and she is aware of the damage the arrest likely had given the malicious intent involved." is there another member of the police force I should consult instead of this one?

Aaron Christmas

#DarkPope is now in charge, sit back and enjoy the movie folks 🍿😎

ggmacd

can't believe liz trust killed the queen !! shambles mate

Scott

Emergency pod when

Chris

chris chan is old world culture

etienne

wonder if the other liz is gonna try to ram through some extreme deregulations and privatizations while everyone is cranking their hog about lizzy the lizard dying

etienne

[comment section pushes back against my violent transphobic fever dream] wow. the left is lame as shit.

etienne

from what I heard she has a super unstable power base made up of the world's dumbest and most inbred people so on the one hand they might want it pretty badly, I also think that they might be too shook from an internal power struggle that resolved literally yesterday to act that fast. but we'll stay tuned

Minaisen

Chapo release a UK episode 24 hours too early and now we're gonna get 2 in a row.

Hector Jaime

No Special Gods, No Special Masters

nicedickdude

I wish catboy ranch was a fever dream. And yea it’s pretty fucking lame here, again just bitter dorks. Where is this “violence” again? Are chapocels bodies-and-spaces people now? Y’all?

Marina

MATT FOR POPE

Marina

The real dragon of chaos

Ryan

Lmao. Raise a pint of bitters to boris!

orc

Kiwi Farms seemed like a way to set up an anti trans pogrom to me. Extremely glad that it’s gone
