814 - A Pond Too Far (3/11/24)
We catch up on the biggest winners, losers, snubs and looks of the Illuminati Humiliation Ritual commonly known as the 96th Annual Academy Awards. Then speaking of Humiliation Rituals, we discuss the State of the Union, the response from GOP Senator Katie Britt, Mitch McConnell’s sister-in-law being killed by her own Tesla, and how Zionists are having a hard time finding a date on the apps.
Catch Will, Amber & Felix on stage (and Chris at the bar) along with Girl God and Jacques from Seeking Derangements at the Lodge Room in LA Thursday, April 4:
NYC people: keep an eye out for a Movie Mindset season 2 kickoff event. Not fully confirmed yet, but I’d keep May 4th open for now.

Felix, that's the strangest pronunciation of Moline, IL I've ever heard. 😂
Can’t believe Felix pronounced Moline like Mow line lol.
Amber - hopefully that Stephen A Smith thing was only a joke and you haven’t actually forced yourself to endure that moron or dated anyone who’s a fan of him. Dude is max cringe, ugh
The wrestler = pro buffoon is accurate with Cena since is two characters in WWE were white rapper and the guy in hs whose lifetime dream is to join the marines
The way the anti-semitism ad ended, I interpreted it as the christian boy was closeted, had a crush on the bar-mitzvah kid and that was the only way they could be together on his special day. Love makes you do crazy things.
The anti semitism ad felt like ‘help end antisemitism by converting them all to Christianity’
❤️❤️❤️
Oink?
lol loved the episode Met my current boo at a protest rally a month ago. Better than any hinge date 😊
The other day my daughter’s good friend, who is Egyptian, was explaining how being anti-Zionist is not being anti-Israel or anti-Jewish. I got a kick out of a nine year old lapping people twice her age at minimum. It gives me a glimpse of hope for the future.
The pier idea is a stalling tactic so that Biden can say he tried to oppose starving Palestinians. It’s why they apparently air dropped most of the food boxes into the sea
Nah man, it wasn't Elon it was the CCP. Sending a message . . .

“If you’re cold, they’re cold”
I love chapo!
Put Ruben "Galago" on the pile of names Felix just refuses to pronounce correctly
Roll Tide Will
Amber continues to fill the Matt-sized hole in my heart. More Amber! ❤️🔥
Thank you for acknowledging the Simple Jack style acting of Emma Stone in the first third of Poor Things. Repellent, annoying performance!
The main problem for Biden, presuming (and only presuming) he is serious about this, is that the Mulberry project was the culmination of two years of intensive preparations, not just the planning but the construction of the materials as well as numerous test runs off Britain. Unless the Pentagon had a plan (as well as materials) already in place, it's awfully hard to see how this thing could be up and running in time to make a difference.
Regarding artificial harbors, nerd intervention ensues . . . What Biden has proposed is called a Mulberry; two such installations were rapidly built off the Normandy coast after D-Day, although the one at Omaha Beach was completely wrecked by a storm on June 19. The other eventually got up and running and facilitated the flow of personnel and supplies until shortly before the end of the war.
Look I want to support the show while Matt is recovering, but if Amber is gonna be a prominent host I may have to unsub. Red scare adjacent airhead
“Red scare adjacent” What does that mean
“God dammit I have a constitutional and moral right to force women to date me even though I’m an arrogant, cruel, probably ugly, genocidal asshole!”
Another great episode where Felix proves that not being able to pronounce words is no impediment to being a top tier podcaster
Name one time he’s ever mispronounced a word
WIll's Katie Britt impression reminds me exactly of the Disco Elysium Limbic System and I'm losing my fucking mind
I had a roommate born in a kibbutz in the Negev and his family later relocated to a commune in NM. Hilariously, he compared Bedouin and Navajo by saying "they both steal your chickens."
i can’t believe a nice man like me in their 50s can’t get any matches on hinge. it must be because i’m a zionist.
Will’s audio is wonky in this episode.
What's hilarious to me about these insufferable dating articles is that like these people never take it as an opportunity for self reflection. Like "are my values wrong? No, its the women who won't fuck me who are wrong!"
It should have been a mosque that Elliot and his family were sheltered in. That's a real coming together.
Is amber officially back on Chapo? I thought she was an Ex chapo host. I'm hoping she's back full time.
What about a bi- monthly Chapo show where Amber gives out dating advice?
Would pay for a whole 'nother Patreon sub for an Amber dating advice show.
For those (like me) who keep despairing at Gaza news: Take the Brian Quinby Pill! Guys is really light and funny.
kinda tired of the boys commenting shit on they didn't even bother to watch ? Miss matt lol
“‘Zone of Interest’ is interesting” - W. Menaker, 2024
Trump dying on the toilet on a plane
Ahh the backslap common Pro-Wrestling move. This ain’t the first time he’s said that.
I made fun of Biden during his speech saying “he’s about to tear an ACL” for standing too long, I tore my ACL last night.
Biden loses and he’ll be retired replicant style. Trump loses and he will play an exact replica of The Running Man.
Congratulations to Will and Felix on harnessing their urge to say "well you should" when Amber talked about not wanting to watch Stephen A clips
felix banger to end it
best ep in quite a while
The response Angela Chao got as she DM'd for help "Hey! I'm so glad you reached out. I'm actually at capacity / helping someone else who's in crisis / dealing with some personal stuff right now, and I don't think I can hold appropriate space for you. Could we connect [later date or time] instead / Do you have someone else you could reach out to?"
Someone mentioned that not just the bad acting and a lying liar from Liarsburg she's in front of a green screen.
*the most autistic guy you've ever heard* Uhhhhh I think Will has confused the yudasgoat with the sin eater.
Funniest podcast in a while. Thank you. 😆
Return of the Queen!
You named this a pond too far because it came out on the 13th anniversary of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. How dare you, unsubbing, too soon.
AMBER!!!!!! Loving the book
It was great
Can ANYONE fix Will's mic so he's not constantly clipping
Mainline episodes should be at least 1:00:00
Go record your own podcast then. What the fuck
Shove vs stuff 🧐
feel so seen as a fellow boyfriend who forces his girlfriend to watch beetlejuice videos
Zionists slitting their wrists every night cuz all the cute brown girls fuck with Palestine
Every time there’s a Republican “rising star” I always have the same reaction - “who?”
Followed by the inevitable "WTF was that?"
I miss when John Cena was a troop and a black guy
Rabbi Shmuley is trying to make me antisemitic.
Not only would it be better for the country in general but Biden straight Force-Ghosting our during a debate would own so hard.
It’s pronounced MolEEN, IL, not Mo Line, IL
Maybe he was also reaching for Mundelein and they just got mixed together
34:50 I love Will asking Felix if he felt like doing any of the homework this week
You're both right. He'll die on a toilet on a plane.
Death is not the end.

Fun episode
Moral for all this: always drive next to a body of water, with your window rolled down, even a bit, so that if the car falls into the pound, you can break the window. Water Pressure wins against closed windows.
She hit Kevorian mode on that model y
Jesus. OK. But what's the upcharge on that one?
Amber 🔥
Amber 😀
John Cena's gimmick when he debuted was as a rapping white guy (cant say a certain word anymore) and his verses were ghostwritten by Esoteric from Czarface
I have one thing to say, and it's the same thing I always say: Will. WILL! Let Felix talk. When you're doing these "reading series" bits, understand that you reading the article is not the main attraction - Felix's responses to the article are the main attraction. Read your bit, then as soon as Felix (or Amber, I suppose) starts talking, back off and let him do his thing. Don't interrupt him so you can keep on reading the article. "OK, MOVING ALONG..." - no, do not be moving along. Let the funny guy talk.
Head Pod Coach laying it down at halftime.
Missed an obvious chance to end the show with "Matchmaker" from Fiddler on the Roof.
It's all one big illuminati humiliation ritual isn't it?
this year is the "goku and piccolo get their driver's licenses" episode of American electoral politics
Best filler episode of anything, ever.

Amber!
When Biden dies after he loses the election because they aren’t gonna pump him with drugs anymore you know they’re gonna be like “Look what you guys did. You put Palestine before this 82 year old man and now he’s dead. You took away the one thing he had to live for and now he’s dead.”
Classic Dem Scolding. I know we to the left of Clinton Democrats like to say "The right has one joke and it's played out" well, the Dems have one political move after throwing an entirely winnable election and it's always blame those to their left for not supporting them enough or wanting too much. John Kerry lost because you damn kids were too mean to THE TROOOOOOOOPS!!! Hillary Clinton lost because RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA and you damn kids wanted free things!!! Joe Biden's reanimated corpse (with the glowing green syringe from The Reanimator still stuck in his neck) lost because you damn kids made Israel feel sad! WE ALL LOVE ISRAEL! YOU LOVE THEM TOO! WE KNOW BECAUSE WE FORCED YOU TO SIGN A LOYALTY PLEDGE!!! ♫ Same as it ever was ♫ ♫ Same as it ever was ♫ ♫ Same as it ever was ♫ ♫ Same as it ever was ♫
Despite his inability to pronounce Moline correctly, you can tell Felix is on when he makes even Amber laugh uncomfortably and say "oh God" re a drowning woman rudely blowing up friends' phones demanding help
I didn’t even realize Felix was saying Moline! I feel like not enough was made of the fact that this was Mitch Mcconnell’s sister-in-law and Coco Chao’s sister. Layers upon layers…
'Wait, where's the King?' 'Who do you think got your boobs?' 'NOOOOOOOOO'
lol real Illinois heads know what a gem that Felix pronunciation of Moline, IL was
Mow - Leen. Have you been outside of Hyde Park???
ay pls explain the jokes, I mean I don't watch that awards show, just explain what you're talking about.
[Matt Christman pulls out his recipe cards]
Love the show, but I will be unsubscribeing due to Amber's Anti-Beetlejuice: the musical rhetoric. Very disappointing.
pretty sure she was talking about the weird guy from the Howard Stern show
Pro wrestling is awesome and Amber is totally right it's violent straight drag
and it definitely can be "artful"
Love the more frequent Amber episodes!
Felix watch: our boy is back and in fine form
Still sad he couldn't make the German ep
Did they purposely forget to mention that Girl God was appearing with them? I think we can figure why
They didn't even know that they were appearing with each other, so I don't think they left out mentioning Girl God on purpose
surprised you didn’t mention that “The Holdovers” has been accused of brazen “line by line” plagiarism and now the writers’ guild is investigating, really flew under the radar with the Jonathan Glazer comments lol (Payne had access the script he’s accused of plagiarising in 2013 and again in 2019 as the screenwriter of the thing thought Payne would be perfect to direct, so this is pretty damning) https://variety.com/2024/film/news/the-holdovers-accused-plagiarism-luca-writer-1235935605/
Felix continuing to have bad takes on pro wrestling
Well MMA is better & he has good takes on that
They definitely have Biden on substance D, and he's actually a undercover narc that got in over his head
Has Will's "Aunt" pronunciation somehow become even more bizarre? I did not think he could make the A any softer, but here we are.
All three of them realizing independently of each other that they're gonna be doing the same show is some grade-A dirtbagging
Always love an Amber episode. But are we just going to skip over the fact that British John Podhoritz has his Hinge age range at like 18-25?
No way. That's creepy and hilarious.
Kms
angela chao seemed to have d*ed at the lyndon b johnson ranch in texas btw..
Chalk up another W for Lyndon
An estimated 32 million people watched some part of Biden's State of the Union -- almost certainly overwhelmingly Democratic-leaning Biden voters. And some news analyst was shocked that Biden's approval and favorability ratings barely changed over the past weekend.
Same with Russiagate: the content Russia actually did fund was seen almost exclusively by Republicans.
Damn, Felix reaching way back with a Dan Quinn violin joke.
the air drops are also just virtue signaling — not sure why Amber thinks they’re more serious than the promised port/pier
Ok hear me out
So nice hearing Amber again
Amber heads are FEASTING!!!!
Amber :)
First first first First first first First first first
We love amber episodes
I miss Amber on Cumtown calling Adam gay

Already fucked her bro
Now it makes sense why she sounded so winded. You were putting the spurs to her. You dog you.
Me first?
