830 - Vat Grown Oaf feat. Trillbillies (5/6/24)
Tom, Tarence and (welcome to the show!) Aaron from the Trillbillies join us for another week of horror and spectacle around the War in Gaza. We touch on the ceasefire agreement being rejected basically as we were recording, some of the clumsy NYPD PR response to last week’s Columbia raid, and the pundit class tantrum over being denied free access to interviews with protesting students. But we also have some levity, in John Fetterman’s freakout over vat meat, the Biden admin’s flaccid signaling over marijuana legalization, and Patrick Bet-David’s praise for future God-Emperor Barron.

Right!
this one was such a great episode. can’t wait till trillbillies come back
terrence and amber should do a show together
The phonk music in that last clip is fucking hilarious
30 minutes of time within this episode is comprised of everyone saying the word “like” after every other word
I’ll always prefer the “know what I mean?” tic over a vocal fried “right?” One says “am I saying that in a comprehensible way?” and the other says “are ya keeping up, dummy?”
Chapo boys unmasking themselves on here and Reddit. The underlying racism is so obvious.
Chapos sub been banned from Reddit for years wtf you mean?
The good brother tom sexton has a laugh that could cure cancer
“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a Buttigieg stamping on a human face - forever.”
How much is that doggy in the window?
Crazy that Fetterman graduated from Harvard
Ryan García was on Twitter like 2 months ago being like they fucked me in the ass at bohemian grove
Good ep. Love the Trillbillies
Israel Brendlefly analogy. Just delicious, Mr Menaker. Torn on Felix softening towards Ukraine heads, mostly because I've seen some drop Zionists shit more bloodcurdling than what the Israelis will. But Felix being unexpected sympathetic to gross dudes is also one of the main things I listen for.
Peggy “Jug By Noon”an will forever be in my lexicon of terms now.
Trump has yet to get a majority or even a plurality of voters in any election he's been in Felix
Does anybody have any recommendations on books that provide a fundamental understanding of the contras?
Not specifically the Contras, but a good overview of who created them by one of the original Grey Wolves jk. "The Trial of Henry Kissinger" by Christopher Hitchens. All of his war crimes that could have been easily proven and prosecuted if one was so able. It covers the stuff in Chile and Timor, not really Contras, though it's all the same forever war. The Blowback series is a good way to understand it, too. What we did in Afghanistan but Spanish is basically Monroe Doctrine.
Great ep but i really don’t get why chapo aren’t pilled on seed oils and fake meat and shit. Annoying rightoid guys push it but it is fundamentally a leftist issue.
60% of the american diet is already compromised of corn syrup and other unhealthy components that only exist to sustain the corn based farming industry. Caring about seed oils and lab grown meat at this stage would be like a crocodyl addict being squirmy about heroin
You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I mean?
This is a common feature of many folks vernacular
Multiple times during the show where I heard Terrance speak and thought “oh, Brendan’s back!”
Does anyone else notice Wills mic fading in and out as he speaks? I always especially notice it in the intro but it was happening all thru the ep this time. I love this podcast but that sound glitch is so distracting.
Do these guys have a show?
Kamala smoking that loud pack
If any of you dorks complaining in the comment section had a chance to guest on an episode of the podcast, the comments about you would make you the next R. Budd Dwyer. Lighten up on Aaron
Yeah, that’s why I don’t do podcasts, because I would suck at it
Hell yeah, Trillbillies rule
In 2013 I mocked Macklemore and felt smart for reading Zadie Smith. I couldn't've imagined the world where Macklemore made more sense to me than Zadie Smith. But here we are.
We are all Alexander.
Felix Jumpscare 12 minutes in 😳 almost thought he wasn't on this one
That's why he unmuted his mouse/keyboard a few eps back so that you wouldn't be startled when he eventually spoke.
Banger episode
Ursula K. Le Guin shout out! Nice one Aaron! Excellent episode guys.
I think the 2024 election could be a repeat of 2004. In 2004 the Bush campaign was able to use same sex marriage to eek out a win while I think abortion might do the same for the Biden campaign.
Bearish on their being a big abortion push if Biden stays this passive on the issue. There was a massive drop off for Dem participation in the Texas primary, those have to be some of the most vulnerable women in the country.
More trillbillies
Trump was a known factor last time, it's just that people knew him as the cool TV guy who said 'you're fired' and now he's just the fat old guy who looks kinda weird and who made thanksgivings uncomfortable. He is no longer the choice of the normal guy who goes to the brewery the lib mayor gave a 10 year tax abatement. That guy doesn't want to talk about politics, and Trump made them talk about politics.
Trump is the choice of the normal guy whose life got worse over the last four years, uncritically attaches those outcomes to national politics, hasn't paid any attention to these appearances or political spectacle generally, and thinks both candidates look like shit.
More black guests please 👏
Can Chapo like find like a guest who like doesn’t sound so like stupid and use so many like upward inflections like it sounds like I’m like listening to like Jillian from like family guy like do you know what I mean
Chapo should find someone to come to your house and thrash you actually
For the sake of your guy's health, please tone down the forced laughs, we can tolerate adult silence with a giggle on and off
?
I do know what you mean :)
Fetterman needs to shut up and eat his slop and some French-fried potaters mhmm
Chapo *finally* gets a black guest on the show, and the people do NOT like it
well he doesn’t use the kings english
Zaddy Smith. Looks like I need to start a new TwiX account
Great ep. Had to stop listening to trillbillies awhile ago cuz it was making me too sad
I was listening during the sad times too but time heals all and they've lightened up. As always their analysis is spot on. And when you think about national politics and the meat grinder we're in -- what's not to be sad about.
wait is that the same aaron who used to be @borgposting on twitter ????
Yes. He’s great. New account is afrocosmist
I enjoyed this episode as I also enjoy the comedic antics of the trillbillies on their podcast. Ya’ll dirty ball having haters.
long chew making missing-teeth jokes
do you guys get tired of being whiny and unfunny in the comments of every single video
Arthur C. Clarke's lab-grown meat story (just cause that guy mentioned his name): https://bestreadables.com/short-stories/arthur-c-clarke-the-food-of-the-gods/326/
Needs more "like"
Do yall dislike Aaron just bc you’re racist?
I’ll answer once you clarify if that is a serious question or not.
S- / liberal driller- tier episode, awesome awesome
Riffing on Aaron is annoying. You're all blind to the idiosyncrasies of the Chapo nerds but still tune in for the slop. Lighten up. I've been following Aaron on different pods for a few years and he's a goddamned delight.
Preach
Is that mitt Romney himself in that clip he sounds like Ray Wise
I’m curious if Will or anyone ever read Wonkette in the good years. They did some brilliant send-ups on Peggy Noonan. I think Jim Newell wrote them.
if you don’t like Aaron go listen to some Glen Greenwald you dorks
Nope, that's what ya got
Love me a trillbillies crossover
Aaron’s just not irony poisoned like most of us. He’s not here for the bants. but He is hard to listen to.
Good ep
THE BOYS, just finished the last 5 min of the trillbillies Patreon before I saw this released
Comment section is wild, this episode is great
Hard agree with Aaron’s point that Fetterman’s bizarre stance against lab grown meat is about broader effort to mock the idea of reduced suffering and brutality in a better world.
Awesome episode.
Afrocosmist yay
Why have you guys been so flippant of Ukraine? It's a smaller country getting invaded by its larger neighbor, evidence of mass graves, and you use its fringe elements (azov) to paint the whole conflict (where have I seen that tactic used recently?). There's an apt comparison between that and Israel-Gaza, but one is a crisis and the other doesn't matter. That's just western media's stance but flip the conflicts. They're both bad and it's not hard to see that for either conflict. Edit: I want to clarify that a comparison is not an equivalency, these two conflicts do have similarities but aren't the same. And yes I understand that the US makes self interested decisions, and I don't think they defend Ukraine from the goodness of their hearts. But in this scenario Ukraine is essentially a pawn, which would again give rise to my point that Chapo has often been dismissive of a pretty shitty situation.
Ukraine is a state propped up by Western forces, given billions in aid and weaponry, successfully holding off an invasion brought about by their own spitting in the face of an old agreement (not joining NATO) and refusing to recognize the separatist states in the Donbas. Their revolution was set off by the CIA, and a full half of the country wanted to be in the Russian Federation prior to said coup. Russia isn't causing mass starvation, isn't perpetrating genocide, and the entire fucking world is already on Ukraine's side in the conflict. Palestine is being crushed under the boot of a Fascist ethno-state and almost every government in the world is either doing nothing or actively aiding in the genocide. The people of Palestine live under an apartheid regime that is actively trying to erase them from existence. I understand that war is bad and people are suffering in both countries, but they are not the same.
I love the trillbilies but damn...Aaron went full Aaron on this one lol
If they found a bunch Gundam manga in Hind hall, the only rational policy would be triple striking the columbia campus.
the phrase "know what I mean?" is getting the workout of a lifetime in this ep
Right?
Fetterman looks like all of his meals come from a vat
Only the Trillest of Billies
Excellent episode as always folks, trillbillies podcast killing it as expected. Seeing some dumb comments on here as if it's easy to maintain composure and perfect delivery while adressing these subjects... Well, it's not
i may be biased but i’ve generally found it to be an endearing quality
no visit from bob dylan and thats the real crime here
The real headz know
always thankful for my slop, even if the other piggies aren't! thanks Trillbillies!
Dude that keeps saying know what I mean should never be on a podcast ever again
if Jim Varney came back from the dead and did podcasts I'd be ecstatic
Aaron is beyond annoying. He takes 10 years to make a boring point and uses the words “like” and “right” every other word. Literally. Ugh.
You’re miserable
What's that McDonald's ketchup clip at the beginning from?
Yeah we need this
Yes!
PBD runs Valuetainment (Value, Entertainment, Movement) Felix, cmon man
I’m prepared to be valuetained
Excellent ep. Was a little surprised Felix didn't note during his tearing into Fetterman, that Fetterman has a Masters of Public Policy from Harvard, AND an MBA. His oaf persona is more fake than even incredible phonies like Josh Hawley or JD Vance.
l mean, an Ivy League degree _and_ an MBA is a pretty oafish combination.
Holy shit here we go
Pee Bee Dee is the final boss of salesholes. Literally an amalgamation of all the guys who try to up sell you on insurance at the car rental place.
Tom! ♥️♥️♥️
Except he didn’t get to talk. Y’know what I mean? Like, right?
The trillbilly who speaks the most has the least to say.
Hey, counterpoint. Go fuck yourself? Edit: ahh, you don’t like the 1 black guy. I get it
Bet-david's interviews of damon dash and anthony weiner are both incredible
I love Zaddy Smith 🤗
The trillbillies are a benefit to any broadcast. Excellent episode.
See guys I told you we’d push Biden left. Weed for everyone! This makes up for the genocide
Only Prozac I'll ingest is the kind I hunt and clean, myself
We <3 trillbillies
Great ep
I'm so fucking valuetained rn
I could listen to an hour of Chapo just laughing over PBD clips
With the World Central Kitchen killings, the IDF killed military veterans from the UK, US/Canada, and volunteers from Poland and Palestine. Most importantly from the media perspective was that beloved DC-based celebrity chef explicitly blasted Israel on social media (a guy who Pelosi nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize). Almost immediately, Netanyahu changed the subject by trying to start a war with Iran by blowing up the Iranian consulate in Syria knowing that he has a blank check from this administration and this Congress.
Yes! Love the trillbillies
Know what I mean? Know what I’m saying?
No
Lab grown beef good to see the boys are keeping an open mind
You should do a movie/TV ep on the fallout show
Trillbillies rock
Chapo Trill Blouse
Dream crossover
Crossover ep. I’m Paris O’Shall.
Can someone give John Fetterman a spoon full of slop instead of this disgusting vat grown meat?
A spoon full of slop a day keeps the neurologists at bay
SLOP HO
First?
Slop ahoy
