We take a look at Barack Obama’s new Netflix series “Working: What We Do All Day,” in which the former president examines the various trials, indignities and inequities of American work life and avoids asking: did I do that?

Would have had so much more respect if we got a Dirty Jobs version of this where instead Obama is in that episode with the veal farmer and he has to impregnate a cow

Peter Gorman

Obungler? eyy, I hardly know her.

Jacob

New York Ass Times or Stavros having a bbq with anime girls for this weekends' Taylor Swift concert outfit?

Joe

Beautiful

pq

This is gonna be uplifting

Jessica S

Awesome, so he’s like Paris Hilton but doesn’t say “that’s hot”. Suits him well!

Jessica S

I would watch that

wolfgang

felix is very phlegmy for a podcaster

plainwrap

It's gonna be funny when Obama inevitably tries to crush the WGA strike after finding out Netflix can use the work stoppage to cancel his $60 million deal.

Richard

At least W gave his victims a free portrait.

Happy Father's Day

Daffy

Sinnerman, Where you gonna run to?

Daffy

Uhh, Cape Cod. That's where , folks.

Warren Zevon "I was born in '63. Got a little job the factory. I dont know much about Kennedy. I was too busy working in the factory."

BigBoto

Saw Felix's twitter posts...ngl kinda scared to listen to this that's how much I hate Obama. Fun fact: Patreon auto correct changes Barfsack O'Crumbo to Bareback O'Crumbo lol lmao

Scot Forsythe

I gotta admit “CEO’s are icons now” is TheDeath of Coolness writ large…

William

The 700s episodes starting to feel like the 500s run

According to Ralph Nader, in an interview with Briahna joy Gray some months ago, self driving cars and trucks cannot be made safe for driving with other cars, or in bad weather conditions. But corporate America really wants the reduced labor costs of shipping without human drivers, so it seems obvious to me they're gonna try to get human drivers removed from major highways.

William

These art extensions are the exact same logic behind the Disney Star Wars extended universe- “where did Han Solo get his boots”?

William

Have they heard of fucking trains?

etienne

jesus christ, we already have a technology that can be automated and electrified way easier than trucks on highways but we're just gonna let the actual real world train network fritter away into dust and try to put lithium batteries on road trucks that use LLM models on lidar cameras. they say it a lot on Trashfuture, but the only thing we can try is the impossible, right?

HuffingGasInTheShed

I adjust fatality auto accident claims and I’m ready for the day humans don’t drive as much or at all. I’ll find something else to do if it means no more pictures of dead kids and crying mothers holding blue tarps in the road

Doug Cartel

"these poor managers get beaten up by their employees every single day. truly the noblest profession"

Doug Cartel

it is really funny that all of Obama's underlings were shouting that Trump was The New Fascism and literally a month before Trump's inauguration Obama was passing laws that lifted restrictions on who Special Forces teams could target etc "Uhh yeah he sounds like trouble, anyways navy SEALs can now tie liberals to the hoods of their cars"

Doug Cartel

Oh yeah the way the nursing home industry works now is, you sell a nursing home, the buyer cuts the budget and makes things worse for everyone in it, then sells it to another guy who does the same thing, lather rinse repeat forever. Pure fucking evil

NYCM&AHole

Goddamn that’s awful.

NYCM&AHole

Lol but there will be a liability cap when your self aware AI driving software does the whole spy games scene

Diokles

Documentaries are Obama's version of Bush's watercolours.

Tim Mullen

This episode reminds me Felix’s commentary on respecting Hilary’s people more than Obama’s because hers were at least true believers. Don’t think anyone in human history has been as self obsessed and unaware of themselves like Obama in here

Zack Burke

I'm not getting Patreon notifications for Chapo anymore. Wha'happined?

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

The Stav shirt’s vibes would fit better imo. The New York Ass Times is something you wear to the opera

Matty yglesias

did u guys move to LA so you can sit in your houses and watch tv all day?

catsjvk

shadow government lockdown

Stasis

Is Will aware there is a crazy panoramic backdrop to the Mona Lisa already? The techniques used to create it are part of what made the Mona Lisa so popular in the first place. The Mona Lisa is actually a lot more than just the portrait.

birdo

Shut up nerd

Stasis

Next time on Chapo, are Art History nerds an op?

danny

not an op just a fag

Stasis

Accurate, yet irrelevant

LeZero

Man, Felix has so much energy when it's time to shit on the Obungler, you love to see it

Snooder87

Lol. Accidents will still happen. Robots are no more immune to the laws of physics than the rest of us.

etienne

did you know that there's a bunch of extra shit in Mona that didn't make it to the painting because it was boring as fuck? tmyk

Stasis

Duh, pretty sure they made a movie about it. Pretty boring movie

C. Ries

The vast majority of accidents are because of human error not mechanical failure or a tornado or whatever why are you talking about physics

C. Ries

Have you ever considered that driving trucks and the Mona Lisa are both overrated

etienne

no Ries, that is a complete fiction and it is the exact opposite of how DOTs actually think and act. "It's the nut behind the wheel" is and has always been automaker propaganda. DOTs and municipalities almost systematically assign the blame to road design and build roads and every roadside installations to minimize crash frequency and the consequences when they happen.

Naw American Factory is cool, the filmmaker said “workers of the world unite” at the Oscars. Impossibly based move.

Of course

It's risky to make fun of Obama because he's such a nothing, which is worse - or at least less interesting - than evil. It's like MST3K trying to lampoon Manos: The Hands of Fate: if I recall correctly, after an unusual stretch of silence from the seats, one finally commented, "I give up."

DNev93

Starting to seem like that's the case. Skipped the grill pill and went right to the boob tube

T

Driving trucks, the Mona Lisa, and AI are all what I assume Mona Lisa Overdrive is about.

Thomas Stevens

mise en scène, everything that exists within a piece of art was put there for a reason and has a purpose, this is what AI art is killing, same for paintings and for those video game things they’re rolling out where every character can converse with you endlessly.

what_an_answer

15 years later and Choom is still funny

Jones Kolbinsky

Obama saying "I'm in the future" is so goddamn funny to me

Jack Arens

They also seem to imply that Obama made it when that’s not true lol. He did have like an interview thing with them tho

lake

Obama produced it but with documentaries that really doesn’t imply creative control

T

If you showed the AI-extended Mona Lisa image to Leonard da Vinci, I bet he would have loved it. But he was from medieval times, so he would have also been impressed by the dancing baby from Ally McBeal.

cashedtrapezoid

Godammit I Love When Chris chimes in!!!!

Toddy Todd

At the Austin TrueAnon live show they made a joke about Chapo only doing movie eps

John Harwood

The best podcast would be Obama interviewing Will, Matt, and Felix about their jobs.

M.R. Alchemist

So you don't want to see the Seinfeld 9/11 episode?

Paul F. Holzfäller

Damn just having Obama’s name even near that movie just tanked it for the Chapo boys. What in the actual fuck. I thought American Factory was interesting as hell.

Ross Moore

obama is so fucking boring, why would you ever talk about him?

JM

Chris with the best joke of the episode 👑

snafujesus

Davis Guggenheim also directed several eps of Deadwood, so it’s complicated. Tho he also put the Edge in It Might Get Loud, so idk maybe you’re right

Brendan Carrion

I am kind of surprised they didn't touch on this weird thing where Obama brings people food in like every episode. There is an incredibly long and boring montage where Obungler brings these office ladies lunch in these sad looking styrofoam clamshells. And the clocks on the wall shows it's like after 2 pm. Here's the President bringing you your sweaty lunch at 2! It's fucking weird.

Marcus

I would cut my own foot off to see Obama, and The Puerto Rican Rattlesnake together.

C. Andrew

Visit my Metaverse World and watch Secret Alf Milking Videos

Zach Pierce

Also another job that was born during the Obama presidency: PODCASTING. So….

Pawgmental

Please god let Hillary primary Biden

Michael S. Judge

I will laugh until I die at Hillary saying "So Amy Schumer, I just heard about your AMAZING battle with endometriosis!"

Jed Levin

LOL - Obama’s creating content for today’s young people, thank god!

etienne

one of my comfort episodes

buttface

We're basically paying these guys to watch TV/movies and then regurgitate content to us for sustenance like a mother bird.

Tony Scott's "Biederman on Fire"

way the future--way of the FUTURE way of the FUTURE

And they're doing gods work

Julie Baxter

Obama dressed in a clown suit with giant red hands would have made the series better.

Erik

Graven images were a mistake

Ben

I fucking hate Obama so much

MKatieUltra

A straw in a Budweiser for a bedridden person is some Harmony Korine shit lol, right up there with the boy eating spaghetti in a dirty bath tub.

James Aydelotte

Inspired by Terkel? Obama can eat a bag of dicks.

Don’t knock my assisted suicide plan- it’s waaay cheaper than retirement

I thought American Factory was pretty good but also sort of frustratingly agnostic

Ben

You can hear Matt crack a Bang energy drink at 7:20 in a futile attempt to cure his mental ailment

Kevin

Honestly I could see the elites replacing robots with slaves if only because their is a distinct (non-pun intended) human element that is missing from the AI Utopia, namely the unbelievable high that comes from dominating another human being which no doubt they will come to crave. Otherwise, I think they will just end up cannibalizing themselves in their Elysium since for their to be "winners" there has to be "losers" and if all the losers are dead than the title of winner ceases to have meaning--you need people to point at.

Josh Bobst

I think the key to the pov of the CEOs is that railroads have to pay for their roads. But the cost of highways is 100% taxpayer funded. Motor freight might be ten times as energy intensive as rail freight, but what difference does that make when they don't have to pay for the road? They only have to pay for prime movers and rolling stock and fuel.

Josh Bobst

Ok, but what does what Nader say have to do with your feelings about Gray? And I'd like to point out none of us might have encountered what seems like significant information from Nader had she not asked the right question at the right time.

Robert Falco

they should watch the Factory documentary the chines just roast the American worker the whole time.

Bill Crotts

I sometimes wonder if Obama has plenty of self awareness and does this stuff as a bit
