The boys look at the Wagner Group failed(?) coup(??) of Russia(???) over the weekend(????). Then, some more on the submarine disaster, RFK Jr. and the people who believe current events as a factor of time’s linear progression are, in general, a “psyop”.

Episode sucked, haven’t listened yet

Cardboard

The amount of traveling that Chris Smalls does makes me question how involved he is in the union and what the progress is in organizing the rank and file. Is he just trying to build a media career?

Zach Pierce

OHHH RFK NIPPLE FUCK! Seriously R-ah F K has the Rogan nipples

Zach Pierce

Edit: one of the guys made this exact point…

Nathan El

“You’re weak if you avoid Russians shedding Russian blood.” That’s retarded. The entire military and all politicians rallied around Putin. Wagner was surrounded with zero hope of survival and Prighozhin was told he could go to Minsk or die .

Raoul Duke

Matt saying “Wagner” with a soft W has ME dying😭

Alan Fulcher

I understand that the Chapos are proudly not Ukraine-pilled, and I respect them for it…but how can you not find this interesting lol this shit is wild

Seligmann

Gunther is our biggest international star since Arnold

Sam

Does anyone have the Gunther link

Dennis

For free?

A RHINO

Danforth is a nice neighborhood

Aaron Baer

NO AGENDA SHOW ... No doubt, you boys are onto something with those dudes !!!!!

Olivia Kali

It was interesting until it immediately ended with no actual combat

Raoul Duke

He almost slipped once tho, less funny now that I can tell he’s doing it on purpose

Bob Duvall

Prigozhin's a quitter just like his idol Adolf

Bob Duvall

Sir this is not the place for discourse

Bob Duvall

I got your Wagner right here pal

C. Ries

Eastern Europeans have clown powers. They are the wackiest people

If RFK, Jr. was serious about being president, he would be running in the GOP primary. His bio is equally crazy. e.g. he got the assistant district attorney job in Manhattan before he had even passed the bar. He resigned after failing the bar exam. The Hunter Biden comparison's are apt, but RFK, Jr.'s is on another level.

Sam

Everyone knows a real country would have just kept paying these guys and let them keep their shit like the United States did with the confederates and Nazis.

Olivia Kali

I genuinely don't understand why he's a democrat

Declan Kennedy

wasn't Tenpenny the one who testified to congress a couple of years ago about covid vaccines causing magnetism?

Sam

Obama was such a Chad for firing McChrystal and begging the republicans to like him for 8 years while they called him the n word to his face. Unlike the virgin Putin who Exiled prighozin and jails his political opponents because he’s such a pussy. Only country ever to have a leader seek to deescalate what would have been a total massacre for an untold number of people instead of just killing everyone. You guys are fucking geniuses swear to god it’s incredible that you’ve been podcasting about politics for a decade and youre not consequentially shaping political outcomes by getting fat and playing video games. This rocks.

christoph.s

As an Austrian I have got to say Günther Fehlinger is fortunately not well known and in our country. He just lying scum with a business degree, his petition to join NATO got 5000 signatures, we regularly get petition that have more than 100.000 signatures to be debated in Parlament.

DeftHanded

Now I can’t get the image of the Mcpoyles running a gladio style coup out of my head

Dick Van Sexel

Cloud cuckoo land? Matt a confirmed Lego movie fan?lol

Waffle Poet

He might be the president of ALU, but he’s really only president of what amounts to a local. The legacy unions very clearly want nothing to do with Amazon - certainly not after the RWDSU’s toothless efforts in Bessemer. I’ve been union for almost 20 years as a Teamster (including as a salt and organizer) and now a Machinist. There is no ALU without him, he has no resources, let alone trained hands, for organizing. Keeping the ALU alive in pro-labor circles is the best he could do. Unless the Teamsters or UAW in particular want to help, ALU is cooked. The TDU only recently wrested national control from that cunt Hoffa, Jr.’s stay behinds and are up against decades of ossified bureaucracy. UAW got new militant labor leadership for the first time since ‘47. Taking on Amazon could radicalize their rank-and-file or, most likely, annihilate their fragile coalitions.

Cardboard

People were purged from the ALU because they disagreed with Chris' constant traveling

Waffle Poet

Matt was dialed right in this episode. We love to see it, folks.

Jon

Just realized Matt's rants have the same energy as "the animals are leaving" girl

The Squash

The boys needed to listen to radio war nerd episode before this.

J.v.D

idc when’s the next zoo episode

plainwrap

When he realized he invaded Russia the day AFTER the anniversary of Operation Barbarossa his heart just wasn't in it anymore.

Inertial Observer

More likely an Aristophanes fan if I had to guess

Tim

Genuinely upset with myself that I didn’t connect RFK and Hunter

William

RFK is like a reverse limited hangout

George Lochinski

Im rooting for 24 being Biden vs RFK w DeSantis as spoiler. I think that has juice as the funniest outcome

HeyB00B00

A Wagner in every classroom will end school shooters

Jerry

Found the crack abuser

C. Andrew

I've met the guy and attended a labor training panel he was on, I'm a rank and file organizer with a UE local. He focused exclusively on feeding the people and using the media as organizing tools. He likes to use the media, which is part of the fight. The progress among the rank and file isn't great and they don't have a contract yet at JFK8. Given the big national unions don't want to fight Amazon, him and the initial crop of ALU leaders came out of disgruntled Amazon middle management. Chris was a floor manager. Derrick was a floor manager. This is how they had networks of employees they knew to count on and call the walkout. Chris definitely is more media focused than contract focused, but I think he believes that's the best way to pressure Amazon to the bargaining table because the ALU don't have the juice to do so through rank and file organization (cough, because ALU is poorly organized because it's a brand new organization). I don't think he's gladhanding because he's purely out for personal gain, maybe a bit who doesn't like attention, but because the media is what he understands and he openly admits this union stuff is new to him. He's a nice guy, maybe just not the guy for this job, but not my place or knowhow to say who would be.

etienne

literally not what they said but okay

Dru Heff

Matt was on one. Love it.

Doug Cartel

honestly if that whole thing in Russia had ended in gunfire it would have been even more stupid. Hot Dog Man Causes Bloodbath, Putin Nearly Killed, Blames Plot On Hebrew National (that's to say, if the russian feds had fired back, anyways.) Oh yeah Gunter loves carrying around his big map of post-Putin Russia that has the country divided into like 140 little ethnostates, gets a big kick out of the arms traffickers

C. Andrew

Empathy is when you're nice to me and understand why I'm mean to others, but you're never mean to me. The more nice you are to me the more empathetic you are.

Appreciate the Sledgehammer music sting. Well done Mr. Wade. 😂

sgthombre

didn't they shoot down multiple planes

Cami

Sharon Tenpenny, I hear she's a dime

sgthombre

The sooner I'm allowed to forget what RFK Jr's voice sounds like the happier I'll be

Carlos Colon

Glad you said it.. I know they were being funny but to gloss over the difference between Wagner coming for the MoD vs coming for Putin - and that quelling a coup attempt and consolidating power essentially bloodlessly is the mark of a strong leader. We jail torture and exile our people for just TELLING the truth- imagine if there was a rogue “military” leader in the USA - how much collateral damage we would create just to prove a point and out alpha the world. I guess it’s all in the name of comedy. Still grinder my gears tho.

Braedon

Chris, can we please have an mp3 of trump cumming?

Sam Zeng

Demented Avenger

What happened to empathy?! My classmates in elementary school and I were telling Ethiopian famine victim jokes back in Eighties before anyone had heard of Sam Kinison! And we sure as hell weren't smart enough to come up with them ourselves

J Vladcliff

It occurred to me the other day that the Titan sub looks like a flesh light

Nick Cole

Jesus christ hadn't heard the trump cumming clip

drewb

they wag on my ner til i coup

Demented Avenger

I'm pretty sure they did, in fact, listen to RWN before this episode

Billiam

plz just end the war so i can play STALKER 2

Curtis Sargo

lmao, the k is silent in Etobicoke. e-toe-buh-co

sgthombre

none of this would have happened if nerds hadn't started calling STALKER "Russian Fallout"

Demented Avenger

EVERYBODY IS A RUSSIAN OP! THAT BITCH PUTIN WON'T PAY ME FOR MY SIMPING FOR HIM!

etienne

carbon is only good for airplanes and racecars. steel is real

Sam

They are absolutely retarded on anything having to do with another country because they are lazy and stupid.

Sam

Speedballs, but thanks

Sam

They literally said Russia wasn’t a real country because Putin didn’t murder prighozin and compared it to Obama firing mcchrystal - an action they looked at as being a decidedly more decisive exercise of power.

Sam

I’m fucking great man I live in a real country how could I not be amazing as shit?

etienne

btw d'you guys see that the navy heard the sub get crushed right away but couldn't reveal it because their sonars are supposed to be secret?

Doug Cartel

Think of all the proxy ethnic wars we could have Mountains of skulls touching the clouds

Aaron B.

The Montréal tix aren’t sold out fwiw, I just bought one this morning.

Tim Mullen

Would love it if the boys did an episode roasting Anne Applebaum

b-rar

Sorry gang RFK Jr's nipples are the two best things he has going for him

b-rar

However US Americans pronounce it is how it's pronounced. Cry to the UN about it

drewb

really enjoyed Will demanding the Trump clip get played over and over like a toddler. I'd do the exact same

David DeCorte

We're getting word that The Boston Celtics are in control of the Moscow Airport, as well as all major radio and television outlets. Tingus Pingus has dismiss the Duma and is convening a provisional council within the Kremlin.

Byron Lagrone

tbf the dude lived in an area without broadband access

TangiePower

It’s sounding like Prigozhin and his boys misbehaved enough to get kicked out of the Ukraine war, which is what they wanted. Now they get to go abroad to easier and more lucrative assignments elsewhere. I suspect a invisible timer has started for Prigozhin to prove he’s worth keeping around.

R K

Gunther vs GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship

etienne

imagine going to the chapo show in toronto and getting jumped by a guy holding a blunderbuss

Peter Hager

Yeah when I saw the "coup" I thought "That's some 15th century merc shit."

Alec

I like to believe that anthony kiedis got hep C from sharing needles with RFK JR and they co-wrote blood sugar sex magic

Valerie

Couldn't believe my ears when I heard that the sub was made from carbon fiber. It's one of the materials I work with in aerospace parts, and not suited for compression vessels.

Luke Tracy

It's not like a submarine needs to be lightweight, but gotta have the special advanced material for our special advanced sub!

Evan Scott

i love every time they talk shit about russia because some weirdo always pisses their pants in the comments here

Jacob Jones

This is what happens when techs make a submarine instead of engineers. I love techs, I really do, they know a lot that I don't, my dad is a machinist, but mechanics of materials is not the realm of a tech. It just ain't.

No

Free Sirhan

Jacob Jones

I think I see the "non-seriousness" of Russia as a consequence of the world shrinking and us all, for the most part, collectively realizing that a war in Ukraine is nothing compared to the impending climate doom that is upon us coupled with the increasingly heavy shackles of wage slavery required to keep us either oblivious to all goings on or too tired to care.

Claire Casey

I love that this is the second episode to play out to People Who Died and the first one was the Assassin 33 A.D. ep

Paul F. Holzfäller

Who wouldn’t want to listen to Donnie getting his hole stretched out over and over?

Paul F. Holzfäller

Make sure you’re doing that IV shit and are jabbing yourself with dirty needles. It’s imperative that your voice sounds as retarded as RFK’s.

Adam Foster

Matt please don’t entertain the wi-fi causes cancer thing, we’d be seeing massively increased cancer prevalence by now if that was true because it’s been about 20 years since mass adoption

Kamran Husain

explain your silence on the grimace shake

Matthew

S/O Jim Carroll. Not out of the realm of possibility RFK shot up with him.

Chris Wade

Who da fuck is dis? Who da fuck is Tingus Pingus? I never heard of Lativia! Dis fuhckin guy… Love that vid.

Gunther lmao

ggmacd

when the slop hits yall make me feel like a cow in a palace. Bless

What will happen to hell of presidents?

Kennedys are the herpes of American politics. Heard that one of Fifth Column pod lol

C. Ries

Tim O'

Héy évéryoné, you can still gét tickéts to thé Montréal évént!

etienne

lmao Stitcher is shutting down. Chris post the goddam Hell of Presidents in here now

Gubriel

Sadly, it will remain on a popular video streaming site as a bootleg playlist one can search for 😞

Mark Schneider

I like Will's take on the submersible event--- IF those super-oligarchs did fake their own deaths, the methodology seems close to what friend of the Show Alan Moore did in Watchmen back in the 80s-- recall how the super-villain Adrian Veidt/ "Ozymandias" set up his ability to simulate the Alien Attack on USA by a movie set, costuming out the monsters etc. and then had to go after the good Superheros when Eddy (the Comedian) was flying over where the fake film was being made and saw the set-up!! So maybe they just read Watchmen? (Okay, more likely their arrogance led to their deaths.)

Dick Van Sexel

I'm pretty sure it was a Lego movie reference. Matt seems like a big Lego guy

"oh I don't make any money off of it anymore, it's out there" - The Coward's Response

Null_null

We need a Titanic movie episode. I want to hear the boys talk about the dialogue and acting in that film. It is so hilariously bad and awesome. ‘Cause it’s just James Cameron being like who cares who cares let’s get to the ship sinking but he needs to show you like 30 interiors in full 360 first.

etienne

I want to hear some slurs against the Irish that haven't been heard since the Boer War

ttypes

"if only people knew, something would happen" was literally the worldview of progressives & a lot of leftists from 2000 to 2016. It's both hilarious and heartening that reactionaries currently find themselves in that most helpless of positions

Paul F. Holzfäller

I agree. A guy shoots his own horse in the face with a flintlock pistol in that film. That alone makes it worth a viewing. Don’t know what the hell Matt’s problem is.

Seanm538

Please have Aaron Good on your podcast again, he’s been nonstop posting about pro RFK Jr stuff for a while now.

Logan

Wagner? I barely know her?

chapotraphouse

i literally found out about the stitcher shutdown by people @'ing me on twitter. I have no idea what's going on, the FAQ for creators there is hilariously opaque, the best I can get from our contacts is "let's see who's still responding to emails over there" so.........we'll see. But would love to bring TFMS and HoP home!

etienne

that's incredible, the first thing I thought was that when you said "maybe" you were hinting that you were aware that the platform was unwinding itself but ... that was even kind of improbable. I guess there's always a chance that they sell off the catalogue to a vulture capital firm in the proceedings, which would be really ironic for you

Chris

The sub shit was pretty contrarian. Every single meme, Convo, irl person ive seen mentioning this, specifically mentions rich people and the hubris of rich assholes. The irony is just dessert/mashed potatoes. If this happened in the 00s, the herd would be in lock step crying about rich death. The real story here is the entire world getting more and more tired of the rich.

Sam

I prefer to shoot it in my dick thanks.

BryceSprungstein

RFk is very likely a pedo, I mean he was close with Ghislaine and Epstein for almost 20 years. The idea that a voracious lech like RFK (and deeply exploitative- his treatment of his wife and shit he put her through probably led to her 'suicide') visited the island and rode the lolita express multiple times and didn't 'take part' is absurd. He is the most obviously compromised candidate and to think that he is going to 'challenge the deep state/establishment' is just so fucking dumb. They've got so much blackmail on him he wouldn't be able to do anything even if he wanted to.

Matt Murray

When are you guys coming to Denver?

smooth trill player

strong agree, nothing beats fully lucid Matt critical analysis bars

Heather Kim

Have they done an episode critiquing the US medical establishment?

jack flowers

I think quite a few. Look for anything with Libby Watson or Tim Faust as a guest

jack flowers

Yevgeney, yevgeney: an old man's erotic journey from bakhmut to minsk

jack flowers

Make russia a province of greater yoguslavia

Sezme

Where is this trump nutting soundbyte??

Dan

Please migrate "Time for my stories" here as well

Steve D

100%. And People who died is such a joyful, beautiful song. A true masterpiece.

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

“Ooh I spend an hour talking to all the dead people in my life…” God what a loser RFK is. Plus, 200 people? Does he have his own Clinton hit list? Marge Simpson by way of dirty heroin needles-sounding ass

jack flowers

If you read the wheel of time books you would know that counting all the women you know who died is actually one of the coolest things you can do

Valentino

As a fellow fail son Etobicoke native, it's "eh-toe-bi-co" but most people I know from there just call it "the coke"

Gordon Schmidt

It's a shame nobody wants to talk to RFK Jr. about his father's assassination, the one thing he's actually mostly right about

Michael Landreth

Or their episode on the Megan McCardle piece against Medicare for All, which is more a critique of the media but is definitely health care adjacent.

Nasai

Yeah RFK blames NATO's provocation of the Ukraine war because he's a contrarian. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with how he genuinely feels about the military industrial complex due to you know, his family and all that...

K H

Wifi doesn't give you cancer. Come on Matt. The one thing we can figure out about giving you cancer at this point is radiation. If there was a way for wifi to make you sick it would be a gun already and the zoomer cia would have exposed it to validate their bisexual long Havana syndrome. If you have a wifi router on your face 24/7 ok maybe. Just getting 5 bars or whatever we're up to? No.

Reece Coren

he got that voice in his FORTIES?????

Reece Coren

he is a disgusting transphobe let him rot in the void of obscurity

J.P. McD.

This is one of my favorite things online, when somebody thinks a usage of a common old trope specifically refers to some nerd movie from the last decade which utilized the trope, rather than just being a usage in general or some other older reference (such as the land in Banjo-Tooie)

Kael Fischer

Piss, vinegar and nipple shaming. Great episode, ffs. :(

Kael Fischer

They love seem to love Fauchi cock for sure.

Axel H.

Right, because the only valid views on the medical establishment are "vaccines and seed oils cause autism" or "I suck Fauci's dick".

Dick Van Sexel

Matt Christman is obviously a huge lego movie fan. JP knows what I'm talkin about jack.

Arielle Curtin

Yes! Do it! All 10th graders who want to ace AP US history need to listen to it!

Shauna Seroquel

Did they ever declassify those Fauci dick pix?

Max Beta

Peak dumb is going from Bernie to RFK Jr. because they're both "critical of the US medical system", as if the specific critiques aren't t that important of details to get bogged down in.

C D

“As farce because he’s the hot dog man” -hot dog filling is called farce Fantastic play on words.
