838 - Enemies of the Group Chat feat. Alex Nichols (6/3/24)
We have Alex on today to first and foremost look at newly released soda rankings. Then, we catch up on reactions to Trump’s conviction, examine the many Rubicons people are always crossing, and ask if Barron will be Augustus Batman or something. Then, two new banger campaign ads from new MAGA star Valentina Gomez. Finally, a long reading series about Erik Prince’s far-right podcast group chat, and the various good & normal opinions shared there from the many luminaries in his orbit.

Wonder what the off leash group chat’s been saying the last six months
+1 for Alex on 3rd mic, he's been consistently great comedic instincts to riff with will and felix
We love Alex, don’t we folks?
My dad and his friend worked at PepsiCo out of college and the friend to this day won’t touch anything besides pepsi
Alex so far has been the best replacement 3rd mic since Matt’s absence. If Matt and his family decide to not come back, please consider Alex for a permanent role
"They call all sodas coke" already on the tip of his tongue, legend
Serge gainsbourg joke took me out
Sick ep
Finally someone stood up to the Pepsi slander from Will. Coke tastes someone cracked open some d volts and poured the acid into a bottle.
Anyone curious about the last visual + song: https://youtu.be/unYu22Ign1E?si=jhgRscF8hqCBkxyA
how much can i pay to get alex on this show weekly
Was this episode recorded in 2x time or something?
Did they add Randy Couture to the group chat because they thought he’d assemble a team to take down the deep state?
any matt updates? love the eps with alex but i miss hearing our big midwestern oaf
Miss him so much. I've listening through cushvlogs for weeks to tide me over.
I love and will always love Matt but Alex on the third mic is honestly the next best thing
End song pleaseeeeeee
???
Alex talks about the chairman of the Jewish Council (Judenrat) in Łodz, Chaim Rumkowski
Burger King > McDonalds/Wendy's
I’ll stand on this truth
The House of Trump changed demeigne law to utimogeniture, so Baron's in the lead
Pepsi >>>>>>>>>>> coke anyday
If not for your Anglo name, I would have assumed that you were from Quebec with that take. Some regions and people love Pepsi.
"enemies of the group chat"
have to (respectfully) disagree with will, this is exactly what rich nazis have always been like. anything that isn't exactly what they want is the end of civilization to them and they have to invent the most spectacular bullshit to explain why
Yeah, I got a real Business Plot vibe from this episode.
Can you imagine Eric Prince belives most people are too peasant to vote? Sorry Eric my father didn't start a MLM that has bankrupted millions and I didn't get a chance to start a mercenary organization with that MLM money and his connections to be worthy to vote.
West Michigan excellence
I’m with Felix I go outta my way for Pibb the few times I see it out in public it’s got an edge if u ask me
Our beautiful Alexes
Alex should become a permanent fixture. He’s great and you guys have good chemistry.
my dumb ass read the cover art as necrons like this was gonna be a sudden heel turn to a warhammer Lore podcast
Matt Taibbi mentioned
where Movie Mindslop
midway thru my commute. HARDLY ideal
Je suis venu te dire que je mon vais
Any possibility for an episode with someone whos an expert on the Myanmar civil war, some great stories there. Like 12 seperate armies lead by like former teachers and poets and one fully self funds itself with a gacha game on the app store
get on the war nerd patreon. they have a few good eps about that though none super recently
When I heard Randy Coutures name i got so happy i was yelling in my car "What the Fuck is he doing in there".
The word "freedom" is has an ever-evolving definition that is grappled over as the winners can claim some part of its generally positive legacy. So the fact that this international fascist guy is talking about the true freedom that he has in fucking Qatar is great to me. They have defined the word down to freedom from any social obligation or duty or interdependence (that you are not ideologically blind to). It is, quite literally, incompatible with any sense of a social contract and is, for lack of a better word, evil. So they can have it.
I’m pretty sure she’s saying “lie-Barry” to appeal to white voters. Not going to pretend I’m a linguist or even a decent Spanish speaker here, but “libreria” is a word in Spanish in means book store. They don’t have a problem putting an R after a B sound. Like “brazo” is arm, there’s no native Spanish speaker language impediment that stops you from making a “bruh” sound.
The English r sound is a very different r sound and can be very difficult to pronounce for non native speakers, notoriously so. Especially in certain consonant clusters and phonetic environments.
Abu Zubaydah drank Pepsi
Kind of crazy that Sprite and Diet Coke (both Coke products) sell about as much as Pepsi.
love that Alex is coming down on the right side of cola wars.
"This Car Drove to the Blurred Top of Pussy Mountain"
DON'T PROSECUTE HIGH LEVEL DEMOCRATS FOR THEIR CRIMES!! THAT WOULD MAKE ME VERY UPSET! NOOOOOOoooooooo.....
Thinking of the poor history podcaster that has to wring meaning from this if by some insane sequence of events these guys become geopolitically significant
So many things those choads say in that group chat are things where if you responded with "lmao the fuck are you talking about" they would spend the rest of the day scrounging wikipedia trying to be right
Ahhh who am I kidding, they would go BUUHHH YOURE A IRAN AGENT and keep rambling about how the B1 bomber could still kick irans ass or something
Despite all their rhetoric about power, fascists are some of the most pathetic babies if the present ruling class doesn't invite them into power
They're like movie villains who have a henchman to do all the dirty work bs they come up with and when they realize how hard the dirty work is and try to do it themselves, they crumble like the dry toast they are.
You should have Dakota Adams - Stuart Rhodes’ son - on, he is running for state house in Montana as a democratic socialist. That boy has some STORIES.
We have people in their 30s who feel nostalgic for the 1950s. There are people online who like the idea of women churning butter or wish they lived back in the Roman empire. I'm not sure if a lot of young people in Iran feel nostalgic for their former kingdom, but it's possible
I'd take the welfare state that we still had in the 50s but I'm guessing that's not what they make TikToks about
I think I went in on the Poseidon Experience at Sea World!
Alex is the best courtdwarf Chapo could get
Fuck genocide Joe and the democrats and fuck the republicans. We post duopoly in this bitch
"Extreme Couture" that's not bad actually
Jason Momoa IS Tiki Batman
I am begging yall to learn how to pronounce the name Cuellar please
Quaillar, start the reactor. Free Mars.
Fuck this guest is so unfunny
Will's self awareness when roasting Valentina Gomez for saying "lieberry" was great. Even a man who says "nucular" has standards
The gales of laughter at the end are the wind beneath my wings rn
I was doing deescalation at a Campus protest that Valentina Gomez went to counter protest in St. Louis. Anytime she tried to chant I would just block her face with my hands. She tried to post videos of it after wards but didn’t use any where her face wasn’t visible. A grifter to the nth degree.
Lmao I know the Shah’s granddaughter
ketchup is for children. Mustard superiority gang!
"eat your shit" was one of Borat's best jokes
Dock their pay for not knowing that Valentina Gomez was fired from Purina. A simple Google search would tell you that.
Wokeness is still to blame tho
This group chat should be renamed “frociaggine”
small white bubba once again riffmogging the main pod boys 👊
⬇️ mountain dew button
Alex rocks I’m an Alex fan

99% of the time, Felix's veneer of insincerity and multiple layers of irony are impenetrable and indefatigable. The other 1% of the time, he has no choice but to remind you that actually Beta was the superior format and it's still used to this day in professional settings, and VHS only won because of better marketing.
VHS won because of porn, because Beta charged the video producers liceinsing per tape, while vhs charged the licenscing on the players.
i categorize my soda by ‘for summer’ or ‘for winter’ and its almost time to go out and buy the ultimate summer soda: squirt
I made your mother the ultimate summer soda if you know what i am saying
They really are good Nazis, the subconscious corprophagia creeps in at the funniest times
I am shocked we didn’t hear about the Black Rifle Coffee Company guys posting in the chat.
It didn’t happen. What I meant was the sh*t heads behind that company would have been a perfect fit for the chat group.
“Mess with the u.s and we will eat your shit” will live rent free in my head for the rest of my life
Ben Affleck is 6'5", absolute unit confirmed
Trump’s eyes welling up as a choir of boys dressed in baggy suits, wearing orange wigs and holding cans of Diet Coke, sing Memory from Cats.
Big Strong Trump, tears in his eyes
I love Alex, I know for sure it’s gonna be a banger when he’s around
Felix you are so brave and so correct, Mr Pibb (then pibb xtra) is the superior soda. Thank you for speaking our truth.
The Islamist Biden administration. Good to know Eric Prince’s politics haven’t changed since the 2000s.
Like the safari club, but for bitching about the libs
Please dock Felix's pay chapo dept of corrections we have heard Barron Trump speak. https://youtu.be/wAXpL_dq7e0?si=nZXHxHsmc2lHoOEd The reason you don't hear him speak is bc he has a Slovenian accent
i continue to believe that no matter how much he resembles trump barron's biological father is greg ostertag
You are out of your God damn mind if you like Strawberries and Cream Dr. Pepper. It tastes like Pepto. The can looks like Pepto. It's one of the only sodas I've poured out because I didn't want to finish it. Now the coconut cream one, now THATS an up and comer.
glad to see the good Dr recovering from that regrettable 'Its not for women' campaign
When is Alex joining Chapo? Maybe people will stop asking about Virgil if you have an extra guy
Matt and Virgil will come back together to recap the 2024 election
I call all soda Coke. I hate that I have to join the KKK now.
“Hate” sure, buddy
Another khat mention letsgooooo
Of all the Batman actors to choose from, naming the CrossFit Batman as your example of not that big is very funny to me
Can you guys figure out what they shoot Biden up with and give a double dose to Matt? I just want one or two more rants before the nukes start flying.
In Atlantic Canada we have a pop brand called Big 8, they have a Pepper-alike called Dr. Smooth. Not just hometown pride when I say it's top tier sodee pop
Big 8, some Covered Bridge chips, you got er knocked
Another Alex banger
One reason for Dr Pepper’s popularity might be that Texas has like 10% of the us population
Is it wrong that I think Valentina Gómez is hot 🔥 🥵?
I live in a society where I think she's a snack
“Hope they don’t JFK him,” said the spiritual descendants of the guys who did, in fact, kill JFK. By god how far we’ve fallen
Wait her full name is Valentina Gomez NORIEGA??? [eye emoji]
Purina owes her a hundred favors
Glad they finally came around to shitting on Matt taibbi
Who?
Song name at the end of the ep, anyone?
J’e suis venu te dire que je m’en vais, just look up "serge gainsbourg tribute kids"
Banger ep
If I remember my Bathroom Reader trivia - Dr. Pepper was named in honor of this Dr. who told the guy who created the soda “don’t marry my daughter she sucks.” He didn’t and he named the soda after him as a thank you.
dudes rocking throughout history
Will really tapped into something primal with "flying to pussy mountain"
One way 🎫 please
that terrible rapper in the Valentina Gomez video is the spitting image of this politician in the Australian city of Brisbane who’s known for being the biggest leftist politician and organiser in the entire city, absolutely surreal to watch a MAGA version of him lol
That’s because everything is flipped upside down in the southern hemisphere
As a pepsi drinker, I assure you Dr. Pepper deserves it. I'm 96% certain they are putting battery acid in there. (for legal reasons this is a joke)
was that the same guy who did the rap song with ben shapiro? sounds like him
My dad would only drink Pepsi because they were union
Will just threw away the line “If you like your republic, you can keep it” - an all-timer!
Lmao Felix, “Who was the guy who said, ‘If we don’t move they can’t see us?’”
Saw a tweet yesterday that said it hasn't been called Mr. Pibb since 2001. Every time I've seen "Pibb Xtra" on the shelf I've assumed it was a temporary promo, a la CoolER Ranch Doritos. It's been more than two decades! Wait, did Cooler Ranch ever go back to Cool Ranch?
Alex like Vinnie Johnson coming off the bench and just destroying every time
The Microwave ♨️
“Resistance Clapton” Jeff Tiedrich
“Why would they come to our concert just to boo us?”
Alex for permanent cohost!
Coke and Pepsi and all the other sodas try to taste like something else. Coca leaf, kola nut, orange, etc.. Dr. Pepper was the first one meant to taste like SODA. The feeling of walking into an old-style soda shop; 23 not-quite-placable flavors alchemically transporting you to another place and time. The platonic ideal of soda
And it harkens back to the glorious age when soda was a medicinal tonic that would ease your palsy, diphtheria, and syphilis symptoms. DOCTOR Pepper.
Pibb!
Can’t believe nobody mentioned building a large wooden badger.
leshgooooo
Just make Alex permanent. Enough with the teasing!
Trump has changed succession law to ULTIMOGENITURE
I don't think he's unlocked that tech yet. It seems the USA is going to be quartered up and shared between his children.
According to Google the Poseidon Experience is permanently closed
Haven't listened yet but I literally got a Trump campaign text last night saying "We've crossed the Rubicon"
i like the guy who wants to create the Psycho-Pass from the hit anime Don't Create The Psycho-Pass
Dr Pepper is fucking abominable and I condemn the Chapo gang as counterrevolutionary for their pro-Pepper takes
counterpoint: Dr Pepper is easily the best soda in existence (especially the variant you can get in glass bottles made with actual sugar) its lesser counterpart Mr Pibb is best from a fountain at 3AM in a closed movie theater
God damn it, I am so fucking sick of the way everyone talks about politics now. The libertarians say the "neo cons" are trying to start wars on behalf of a global cabal and that Russia will save us. The ones they call the "Neo cons" say they're "paleoconservatives" who want to start wars to defeat the "global cabal," and that Donald Trump will save us. The liberals say that RUssia is trying to take over the world and that Trump is trying to destroy democracy. The Alex Jones crowd says the "globalist" left is trying to destroy democracy. Everyone thinks they're part of the side that's fighting the secret enemy.
I laughed so hard at "Mess with us and we will eat your shit" that my son won't talk to me for a year
Epi cuts off at 32 seconds for me
It detected you're a Hunt's ketchup fan. Try rewinding a bit and firmly declaring out loud that "There is no ketchup but Heinz and John Kerry is It's Messenger."
So damn funny
I wish Iran had a nuke just so we could be done hearing every conservative psycho describe their own invasion plan.
I love the Barron posts where they predict his rise to Punisher Ozymandias above a photo where he looks the tallest castrato in Casanova's Venice
According to her LinkedIn, Valentina worked for Purina for two years.
Yeah, Purina fired her recently after getting a bunch of "is this your employee?" emails after Gomez went viral with that video of her burning books with a flamethrower
Mr. Nichols is effortlessly fucking quick-witted.
Pibb Extra is significantly better than Dr.Pepper. In my Canadian city, the only place to get Pibb Extra is from the Coca Cola Freestyle machines at one movie theatre chain.
Pibb is what bad kids get at restaurants
Hey Alex, Tokyo got burned to the fucking ground during WW2. Just FYI. Bombing restraint on the part of Douglas Macarthur was not the reason Japan recovered after ww2.
Curtis "Bombs away" Lemay. The town where I live now, Toyama, also got bombed the shit out of. And let's not forget Okinawa.
Baron shipping let’s go
Mr.Pibb stock rising on the news
Nice back drop for the start of a solid gooning sesh frfr
Wassup!
Lets fuckin gooooo
Ahh the joy of taking off all of my clothes and listening to the newest episode of my favorite podcast on a midnight drive around a Walmart parking lot
If one were going to be nude, Will, one would want privacy for that sort of thing
Dr Fauci is actually Dr Pepper it’s all true
Ah, just in time for my commute Mr. Chapo
