822 - Curb Your Shogunate (4/9/24)

Take comfort, Felix, your pep is watching Reacher in heaven.

“If crimes are illegal, well, then lock me up”

Also I gotta side with Kanye on this one, it's not that unusual for teachers to want to put their students in cages. Most teachers support this.

Felix is a Japan guy??? Come on your from Chicago you are a hinterlands guy, China is full of hinterlands.

Chapo needs to watch Play Misty For Me. The British honeypot tactics were eerily similar

Ambers dad fucking rocks

Honestly, I'd love for the dude who plays Reacher to play BJ Blascowitz in a Wolfenstein movie

Will’s pronunciation of “Jaleo” was brutal

The Tory spear fishing thing is no surprise and the fact the target threw all of his colleagues under the bus by supplying all of their phone numbers is also not a surprise. They are so dumb. They are also so obsessed with themselves and their own careers. He still has a job though. The Tory party has circled the wagons.

You can tell Felix lost a few babes to sound cloud rappers.

Jocko Willink coming in hot with a Mark Wahlberg 9/11 level take on how he would operate if he was a Palestinian in Gaza right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_PKYpZihqQ&t=7760s

I met a dutch guy last time i was japan. He was the oldest looking 25yo man i’ve ever met. Within 5 min he was taking about eugenics.

idgaf if j Cole soft. Cole >>>> Kendrick

What the fuck man I thought The Batman was just fine.

Please know, Kendrick didn’t diss Cole. At all. Light tap. You guys suck at Black culture and that’s how I like it. 🫡

DC had a great local music scene in the 1980s. In addition to DC hardcore-punk, there was also DC Go-Go (e.g. "Da Butt" by EU, "Drop the Bomb" by Trouble Funk, "Bustin' Loose" by Chuck Brown, "Let Me Clear My Throat" by DJ Kool). There have been a bunch of interesting musical oddities too like rockabilly guitar god Danny Gatton and blues musician Bobby Parker. In the 1970s there were bands like Pentagram and guitarist John Fahey. Official Washington is its own universe. However, there is/was a distinct local culture in and around the DC metro area. e.g. a one-time southern city with international influences that are distinct from other southern cities.

Will, if you want to hear a disrespectful track about kanye: look no further than “Yeezy boots” by rxk nephew. Lol

this is unrelated but MR CHRIS WADE, will there ever be a collection of This is Sus episodes for more convenient access instead of my ol dumb ass searching?

J cole read some Marc Fisher 😅 he all confused now but he’s gonna gain some Vausch followers 😀

Are we just getting Amber back permanently? Because fuck yeah

Oh God, the phishing scammers even got Billy Bragg?

The new Shogun benefits from modern storytelling, cinematic language, and acting. Cosmo Jarvis is absolutely incredible, as is the rest of the cast.

Oh shit, Andres is our Prigozhin

oh yeah btw people don't talk about it a lot but over the aughts Israel discovered some pretty giant natural gas reserves offshore in the mediteranean so if you think it's bad now you haven't seen anything

Amber is right about letting musicians be dumb, see: Lana. I hate how Swifties want to control TS’s life by committee and apply morality to everything she does. Lana dates cops and says “see I have black friends” and all her gay fans and I don’t care.

While the 2000-10s were ghost hunting women detectives and autistic man detectives, it’s important to note the 2020s have shown progress with EVIL (Catholic priest detective who sees ghosts and demons) and ELSBETH (autistic woman detective)

damn this israel shit is crazy dude that's like when Saudi had a oopsie with a Washington Post contributor and everyone pretended to be mad for like a year and nothing else happened

While the Dutch are perfidious, there seemed to be a lot more Portuguese and Jesuit perfidy going on there.

A while back I encountered a guy I went to high school with and it took me so long to remember who he was and he seemed kind of offended, which was a bit uncalled for seeing as he had MASSIVE ironic mutton chops

Will's movie-hipster crap has been more annoying lately. Maybe the regents should send him a letter after all.

Chris, you need to watch the original 1980 Shōgun miniseries, starring Sir Richard Chamberlain as pilot major John Blackthorne and Toshiro Mifune as Lord Toronaga. Apart from the fact that Chamberlsin is a far better Blackthorne, this,series is significant for having no subtitles for the Japanese actors, instead relying on Orson Welles (yes, that Orson Welles) to narrate the gist of their dialogue.

The Batman was the worst 3 hours I’ve ever had to spend watching a movie thank you Will for being good and correct.

The Batman is good and the haters are wrong

Amber described reacher in the same exact way I described it. Like he is just a huge guy

So when is Virgil coming back?

Meal Team Six members out there are flipping tables since they’ve discovered the Seals have a she/he in their ranks.

7 mins in no idea what you guys are talking about 🙁

Takeshi Kitano’s OUTRAGE trilogy is basically an epic series of situations where Yakuza (and their flunkies) use honor and shame and possible embarrassment and their “code” to enact a neverending tit-for-tat that eventually gets everyone killed in lots and lots of gruesome ways. In summation, it rules.

I heard Kendrick Lamar is working on a new album and the working title is good kid g.A.A.y city

Also Joe reacher forever

More Amber, please.

Falling on a bullet, one in a million chance. One in a million

I always thought it was short for 'dismissive track'

I've worked/Lived in 2 national parks & am actually gonna work in Glacier this summer were he supposedly shot himself. Legally your not supposed to have any guns in a National Park, but the Rangers kind of understand that a lot of people have them with them for different reasons. So Rangers generally will be lenient and give you a warning if your not an asshole to them since they mostly don't care long as you don't seem like your about to shoot someone. My two sense is that he genuinely did get shot somewhere before Glacier, but he probably is just a compulsive liar and dug himself into a hole. Guns nowadays go through safety training and are supposed to be able to take a fall without discharging.

I miss Matt :(

Amber’s quip about the guy’s shehe (sp) name was so fucking funny and quick, great hipfire joke

Kanye rules

Sorry Will, The Batman rules!

I love mailing it in with my friends. This ep has the smell of a re-record or late cancelled guest

Gay City is Raleigh, NC. Openly Gay City is Seattle.

Amber a real one for shouting out 80’s DC hardcore

First they came for the Tapas and I said nothing...

Audio's still awful for both Will and now Felix.

Is DC Gay City?

DC has great ethiopian food

Everyone fears the dreaded inspection of old wounds that park rangers do to every national park visitor. Real outdoorsmen have their stories ready.

Oh my god Reacher is just "What if Judge Holden was a good guy"

🐷yummy

esp. 🔥 lately, guys. thanks.

"Call in instead of call out" 😂. We should convince celebrities to go to Gaza as human shields.

straight kid, g.A.A.y city

hold on, I got it: The Music Man but it's about a Jack Reacher kind of guy

Need you guys to talk about friends of the show Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman having to shell out $1.25 million for their election robocall blunder next episode

Is Amber officially back please?

"I clicked on a link that I thought was a video game but it was porn, and it scared me so much I jumped out of my seat, my pants fell down, my gun went off, and now I have a bullet in my arm"

HOW DO I PURCHASE AMBER'S BOOK

Need a full ep Banshee retrospective

Would love an all-Shogun episode

Relieving not to hear Jacques voice. Thoughts and prayers for Hesse.

The 50cent dis on Floyd Mayweather is god status content.

It rules Billy Bragg has a gay wario named William Wragg

Hating on DC = tired. Adams Morgan Jumbo slice > all nyc pizza = wired

Amber solves the problem of disrespectful tracks in hip hop; will wonders never cease? 🙏🙌✌️

Thrilled by Amber with the Captain Beefheart reference. Blink and you’ll miss it.

So happy to be reintegrating Amber back into my media diet !

We are absolutely European Japan. Also, Ambers line with the accent 🥵🥵🥵🥵

The Batman was fine tbh

It's very good and cool that Amber is back for real for real.

Amber's genius rant is on point.

I miss Matt.

the rents have gone fucking crazy since all the real estate was devoured by Gay Blackrock

i choose to believe that the Trevor Phillips in the Ye suit is the GTA V protagonist of the same name.

I must break the mortal sin of doing a idpol, but as someone who‘s both Korean and Irish, I have long been interested in the similarities between the two Pedophile Islands. Thank you Amber, the more and more awareness can be raised on the matter, the better.

I live in Japan and translate Japanese for a living. Shogun is brilliant and the scenes in Japanese are authentic. It also has a great cast of some of the best actors in the country. By the way, Curb your Enthusiasm has been translated into Japanese but with the off-putting title "Larry David's Midlife Crisis". That seems to be the only way they could contextualize it. I've occasionally turned the Japanese subtitles on while watching, and it's a weird experience with all the improvised dialog. If you knew nothing about American culture and watched, you probably would just be confused. (Like my wife was when I tried to get her to watch the Big Lebowski).

Paused my 6 hour long cumtown YouTube compilation to be here

Monday night chapo <3

History is boring: We need current events.

"Two officers dismissed over strike on Aid Workers" damn and they just got out of boot camp too

So good to have Amber back regularly. Amber haters are in shambles
