884 - Pool Boys (11/11/24)

That shark is just loving swimming thru chlorine and piss. Me too

You're not testing to see if you cured a mouse's schizophrenia, you're testing how a schizophrenia drug interacts with hormones & shit in the mouse's body that humans also share.

Never missed Cushbomb more. Didn’t think they needed someone to explain Marx’s theory of alienation but there you have it. Get well, Matt!

When Amber said "loosest, loosest" she 100% was about to say "women" lmao

This site is being brigaded. I wonder who is paying for the professional haters to keep stir up the dum-dims?

“Grueling e-mail job”

they are one podcast away from telling us to learn how to code

It’s just gotta be misogyny with the Amber hate, right? I can’t tell if Chapocels are doing a bit? The bit sucks. Amber fucking rules and she needs to be on the show more.

You know, if Real wages didn't stagnate from the 70's onwards, maybe the manfluencer's message of: dont get a job, its a scam! Do this real scam instead if you want to get rich! Wouldn't be as effective? As for people whining about the podcast people saying "get job" idk man If they need their hot water tank replaced I'll charge em extra for saying it but I still agree.

Every Amber episode pushes me closer to canceling my subscription, but I endure because in America it's important to know what the stupidest people are saying.

Love that, like myself, Will and Amber are hoping Horizon: An American Saga Chapters 3-4 get made

At the risk of sounding like a pedantic liberal, I’d like to point out the contradiction that Palestinians speak Arabic and yet basically anything a Palestinian does or even the fact that a Palestinian exist is apparently antisemitic.

Really fun to hear Amber on the pod again! I'm sad for her and myself that we don't get to experience the Xanax Milf presidency.

We missed you Amber!!

Failsons out in full force in the comments after the job remarks lol

does anyone else find amber to seem kind of dumb? I’m sorry :(

Oh my god can all you dyspeptic complainers unsubscribe already? You can still hate half the episodes for free on iTunes but you’ll have to tell it to yourself. Stop clogging the feed.

Bring back the civilian conservation corps, but this time no racist or sexist and with actual ecological goals.

So nice to hear Amber again. Hope she can return more often.

Felix on fire tonight

I think revelation is the old Timey Christian way of spelling revolution

Chris, you've been killing it with the drops lately

Amber!

Matt Gaetz is going to be attorney general. Is that funny? On the other side of funny? I don't honestly know.

I don't know if this is intentional or not. Perhaps the boys are really just that good without having to try. But I thought it was touching how they kind of clown on people who want to demonize the electorate. You know, our neighbors, friends, and family? Even if it's a little too charitable, our enemies inside and outside of the country benefit from us hating each other. As someone who is really struggling with highly active Republican parents - who I probably won't choose to see for the holidays - it's helpful to keep that in mind.

It is time for Amber's triumphant return as regular co-host

I would absolutely fuck with a queer thrashcore band called Boy Crisis

Amber never misses

Trump's appointments seem designed to give Chapo non-stop hilarious content

Would literally rock a simple black dad hat with the chapo reaper logo everywhere if y’all ever wanna make that as merch lol

At 31:45 describing the biden harris wh as "the balance between pragmatism and idealism" is literally straight out of the west wing. It's on a banner in the white house or something like that

With all the post election discourse happening including in this episode, there's a reoccurring theme that says the American voter isn't wrong and can't be criticized. I'm sorry, but the American people can get things wrong and be blamed for an election.

the canal guy was also my favorite

chimpanzee that

After listening to this, I saw David Brooks suggest Fetterman as a Bernie-adjacent personality to rep the working class. I'm giddy.

The only thing better than an amber ep is the comments after an amber ep. Who would’ve ever thought Comedy Podcasts could become such a powerful force in american’s minds

I'm a local for the monkey story. I have friends that work at the lab. The place is awful. They mostly extract blood from them and dogs for testing. Constantly cost cutting at the expense of the animals. But, I do get to hear very cute work stories about what the monkeys get up to.

The sphere ad did briefly have her face on it and it was terrifying

Was that a Dante’s Peak reference?

Excuse me, Philadelphia Sports Fans don't punch you unless you order a cheesesteak like a fucking idiot or are a cowboys fan tyvm

I've had a cold hatred for the GOP my entire life. It's hard to tap into that cold hatred when hot hatred for the democrats is so available. I'm not really sure how comparable these comparisons between the two parties are. I get that the Democratic Party was a failed bulwark against fascism, but it wasn't the GOP. With all the Dem bashing, I am a little worried it "feels" like chapo might do a Tulsi or Glenn Greenwald. I know they would never, but it's vibes sometimes. I think one party is far more dangerous. Fuck, even on Gaza. We're about to kiss the West Bank goodbye. I know the right people loss and the wrong people won, but the wrong people are still even worse, and I didn't think that was possible.

Great ep, always love an Amber ep. She’s way more in touch with the middle American psyche than the average terminally online Chapo liste- Wait, I mean shut up Amber! Let Felix talk about flight simulator.

Possibly the worst chapo ep ever aired, except for all the movie madness eps of course

This episode hit a little too close to home for the failson community...

More Amber please!

Always fun listening to someone who won the podcast lottery telling everyone else to pull up their socks and get a job. Chapo is now as out of touch with reality as any of the people they got famous making fun of.

Get a job.

That's funny. There's a Trump as Rambo flag at my job.

YESSSSSS that’s why Amber’s the queen!!! FUCK anyone who isn’t a Philadelphia sports fan

Felix ‘like-maxing’ again. Sort it out.

Amber talks too much, not to be a dick. Let them get a sentence in

Lots of Trump-as-Rambo flags flying all over Michigan just FYI.

https://youtu.be/EEz-Czt69IU

Chapo is sounding like my dad, “get a job!” Spend more time talking about how those jobs are shit and how we can improve them.

Finally looked up the “politics should never be a little battle fella” clip thinking Felix was overstating it. God it’s glorious

I'm going to go legitimately insane if I think about Israel for 1 more second. How is that country so powerful that it could undo a decade of "wokeness" and force everyone to be pro-infanticide, pro-rape, pro-torture, pro-war, pro-colonialism, pro-genocide, pro-ethnostate, and pro-theocracy? How could they make the Democratic Party commit suicide for them? I don't think it's plausible that they just have really good blackmail. There's something way worse going on that we'll find out about in 10+ years

The Dems say they're giving up on Identity politics and woke-ism. Tune in next election to watch both parties bash trans people

Rambo Trump is definitely a thing, since at least 2018

Is it true that Hitler was a huge fan of the Willage People?

What is going on at 44:58

You guys need to hit up DJ Byrnes aka The Rooster since Vivek is now in the White House

drunk amber doesn’t know that plenty of guys with jobs voted for trump? i have to question her logic there

taint waxing prices have sky rocketed too! when are we having that conversation?

I HAVE seen at least one buff trump meme where he was distinguishably/unmistakably meant to be Rambo, but it was in like 2017-2018

> set a date to pull out of afghanistan somewhere during early next admin > biden completely bungles it > media never forgives him > trump looks like the peacemaker the obungler WISHES he could play that good

We don't feel worthless if we're not well compensated. We feel exploited. We know we keep everything going. We feel angry that these disgusting parasites get to treat us as disposable.

Glad we’re not leaving all the chimp talk to Rogan

thank you felix for the election coverage stream! looking forward to the Q&A

As a former retail worker: the rewarding potential of the job is 100% dependent on how transparent your value-extraction is (ie canstant hassle about productivity while not being able to afford to live w/o 3 roommates) and the work you do being treated with life and death seriousness from management.

Listening to these American Liberal think pieces truly hammers home how the current incarnation of the ideology (which is basically Clintonism) was birthed in the 1990s during ‘The End of History.’ They have nothing.

Milk is $5/half gallon for the organic one that’s not store brand but also not the expensive small batch local brand that comes in glass bottles. I’ll get that sometimes if I’m at a nicer market or if I’m getting a speciality milk like egg nog. There’s also an expensive organic milk that’s from Massachusetts but I live on the west coast so why would I pay more for that?

Great hearing from Amber again.

I grew up in rural south carolina and genuinely knew like 3 families with monkeys as a child, all extremely evangelical of course

"at least someone who's lying is going to suck you off a little bit" absolutely incredible.

Oooh!!!!! chimpanzee that?

My man Tony Snell is still catching strays for a meme image from 2017.

Why is school out? There are no children left there.

One of the Macadi ultra chants...

The way he said hamtramck pissed me off

I wish Matt was still around to tell you all to log off and touch grass. Take the Grill Pill guys, all this stuff is going to happen or not happen whether you are posting about it or not.

Youngstown mention

No more woke stuff, but also MEN, amirite ladies?

amber was mentioning how dems were wondering how to get the young bro vote. this is insane. they had the bro vote. they derided them as bernie bros and shut them out of the party. jhc the dems are beyond inept. they are self harming buffoons.

We miss you, Amber!

Can yall review the new Megalopolis? Jon Voight is asking what you think of this boner

When you do mouse models for research you isolate specific genes to fuck with, so the mouse usually doesn’t have full blown schizo, just schizo like symptoms/behaviors

Roger Freeman, Reagan’s education advisor in California, and advisor to Eisenhower and Nixon, said, “We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. … That’s dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow to go to college.” Him and Reagan ended free college in California and it was replicated across the country. He said you had to do this to prevent fascism from taking hold via an educated proletariat. Half a century later the US has fascism because of an uneducated and unemployed proletariat. Talk about dumb as fuck.

*Hillary voice* “and they’re putting chemicals in the water that are making all the MEEEMES racist!”

The young men cry out for climate response civil service programs. Will America get their Climate FDR?

kevin costner wants that cheney slime

A good meaningful job was the best thing I ever got for my mental health.

I think a better use of the Harris campaigns billion dollars would have been to pay Morgan Freeman to do a reading of Matt's poem and force it to every device in America like Apple did with that U2 song.

Well you see, "my uterus is more important than your drone strikes" which is why it makes perfect sense to oppose misogyny while also making sure some victims of misogyny are annihilated by 500 pound bombs

“We need the bro vote. How do we get the bro vote? How do we find out what they want? Do we know any bros? Is there a group of people we’ve been smearing as ‘______ Bros’ for eight years?”

Some guy at my work today posts an article about the monkeys being recovered saying “good news! All the monkeys were found and are now unharmed!” Buddy, these monkeys are specifically bred to be harmed 🤦‍♂️

Get a job or at least get a hobby where youre actually making something.

Get a job. Join a union. If there isn't a union, start a union.

Always glad to hear from Amber :)

I like Amber but she always has some beef with *any* identity politics bc then someone might say that her noble savage Appalachian/Midwest blue-collar whites are kinda racist

I remember also instantly hearing that latine made more sense to people and also probably didn't matter anyway.

Drunk Amber is best Amber

God damn that macho man drop will haunt my waking dreams. well done.

I was just thinking we needed some more amber

People want self-respect and meaning in their lives. Some people get that through meaningful work. Some get it through solidarity with others in a common goal or as part of a common society. Some people get it by feeling superior to others based on race, gender, etc and persecuting their purported lessers. I only see one party offering one of these options.

"Get a job" from the bozos who sit around doing drugs and shit posting all day

Solidarity with the monkeys. Until every cage is empty! ✊🏻🐾

Yeah, somewhat agree about the jobs thing. It would help some, but I think Felix is spot on when he says it's not enough. There aren't enough jobs, and probably never will be. And even if there were, that's not how everyone finds meaning. And we're talking about the capitalist market here... Most shit is fucking soulless, even IF it technically is doing a thing that people need. I think more free time, while having work, but with actual shit to do for free that ISN'T the Internet might be more helpful. Like places you can go and actually hang/talk to people, or do activities with them. Places exist, but often are more expensive than just browsing tiktok or some crap like that.

1) bring back basic home economics in High School - solve the annoying 'how do I pay my taxes?' BS everyone wants to sqwack about. Teach that and basic real-world skills. 2) A National volunteer service to rebuild infrastructure. Send these kids out to re-build the crumbling country, let 'em fuck. Let 'em settle in small towns and start families. Don't force everyone into the dumb idea that they have to move to a big city and get 200k in student debt to live a happy life in America.

The thing that makes me crazy about the call for better liberal propaganda about the economy is that people don’t care about the economy for its own sake, they care about it only as a means to an end. If you can’t afford a house, paying bills, student debt, raising a family etc. then by the cultural standards that Americans understand themselves, the economy is not good! This is why whichever party is not in office can always run on how bad the economy is!

Breaking News: Crack smoking maniac tipped as candidate to Secretary of Having Wiring in the Walls

I got fired from a meaningless job from an evil company for incompetence back in June. I have never felt more like shit in my life.

I don’t understand the argument here: if there is a misogyny problem (which they won’t acknowledge there is), the solution is to provide meaningful, non-alienated, or at least well-paid work for men. But then Amber argues that it’s ridiculous to suggest that men today are more sexist than a “Democrat steelworker in 1976” would have been. But wasn’t that steelworker’s meaningful job supposed to drive them away from prejudice? Or is that something that will work now, somehow, even if it didn’t in the past? What if misogyny and its origins cannot simply be explained as a false consciousness that emerges from displaced class inequality?

If you keep raising and blowing $1B while losing, then it becomes stunningly obvious that the goal is not to win but to raise the $1B. The donor money so clearly doesn't matter to winning but they will never jeopardize it.

Amber is an animated children’s show voice actress

Go Amber!

My lil' battle fella is big on Sydney Sweeney right now RRRRRRRFRRRRRH

It’s not that eggs are SOOO expensive when they go up by 20%, it’s that the MONEY IS ALREADY GONE every month to RENT and MEDICAL bills and or insurance. So people scream bloody murder.

Hello Amber! Glad to hear you! Lee

Really great to have Amber back for an ep, brilliant analysis on Mtn dew country voters

I actually think U2 are good far beyond just the first few albums...

THEY TOOK OUR JERRRRRRBS

been subscribed since 2016, the cynicism is getting to me…not saying the analysis is wrong just getting tiring

The "get a job" bit sucks shit. Way too glib from a UWS lifer.

where will you be during random chimp event

Truly thought Felix made up the name “Brianna Chickenfry” but 🤯

A propeller beanie WOULD fit real well on a tonsure. Like pieces of a puzzle. Think about it, Dems.

The O’bungling is off the charts

I don’t know getting a job for me just confirmed that I am indeed shit at everything .

“Brick” lol

I had not heard about the Zach brown chicken fried thing before this but I assumed they were talking about the country song too

Metaphor beast mode

I was judging a high school speech tournament and this girl was trying to argue that boys aren’t doing as well as girls because they don’t have male role models. Girls have characters like hermioni granger! lol I wrote on her ballot what do you call every president in the history of this country? Then I ranked her last. So dumb lol

We are currently discussing the monkey incident in my law school Torts class. Did any of you wonder whether the test facility would be strictly liable in the event that the escaped monkeys' screeching disturbed a nearby mink farm, causing the minks to go insane and eat their young? The answer is no strict liability.

The employees at Game Stop are the most dedicated employees in the galaxy.

Now that Trump has won the election I can finally confront my father about calling me gay

Hate, Lies, and Masculinity

Damn, Call Her Daddy does absolute shit numbers on YouTube for regular episodes.

Full circle chimp episode

Thought they could get a boat across an acid lake before it sank? Sounds like they need a Pierce Brosnan type…

~24:45 Hamtramck is pronounced "Ham-tram-ick" not "Ham Track"

Amber 🙌💥💫

My favorite commentary was Joe Scarborough on msnbc talking about the Dems need to stop being woke on campus because his rich friends daughter is afraid to say anything in case she gets canceled. Like, what year is this? In what way did Dems support free speech on campus over the last year?

Not getting this via RSS anymore.

As someone who works in industrial manufacturing, I love hearing my slop jockies talk about jobs and meaningful work. 👍

If Amber comes back on the show full-time Chuck Schumer will resign

Ham Track

I love how soccer news has already moved on from this whole thing, "Oi the bloody prem ref called Klopp a bastard and that!"

The media is really more of an anti scald valve bypassing cold water into the hot water supply to prevent people from burning themselves at the faucet. The last line of defense.

Amber

every time Chicken Fried or Zac Brown gets mentioned, I flinch a little; my uncle was a songwriter for them for years, and it's weird to see people still remember them

Amber's dick is so much bigger than mine, and I got a pretty big dick, folks.

lmao my mom listened to her on call her daddy then smiled as she voted for trump. real effective

AMBER! 🗣️🫶❤️

Amber always brings the Busy Town materialism

Calling Kamala a MILF is like the “absolute unit” for fat guys.

Everything they said about meaningfulness through jobs is right and so important. But reminds me again this is never discussed in the media. Which is dismaying and terrifying.

Great having Amber on the pod but we need our sweet boy Matthew back. I need to steal his opinions about Trump and pass them off as my own thoughts

I grew up very close to that monkey lab.

TrueAnon recently did an episode on the Red Heifers that were sent to Israel, Zionisms connection to American Evangelicals and Israel's apparent intention to build the third temple to usher in biblical Armageddon; and the idea that a bunch of assholes want to meet God and take everybody with them kicking and screaming just feels kind of par for the course for humanity, but even typing this out makes me feel like I'm the one who's lost their mind.

When is the last time anyone in the Chapo orbit had a non-media job? In the last 10 - years? 15? This is so wildy out of touch. Also, while the not-looking for work thing skews the unemployment rate positively, the vast majority of young adults are working! Come on.

Keep these three together

How does Felix know who Tony Snell is??

job idea. Cut everyone’s hours in half. Two people per job. We haven’t raised wages in like 50 years. Keep wages at their current level for half the hours. The gains in productivity need to be returned.

Please review the Horizon movies when they are all out Chapo! They are getting a lot of hate but I genuinely liked the first one and want to hear yalls thoughts regardless!!!!

I’ve been saying this. The democrat hat needs to be a beret.

WAMBER

Love my big-ti**y girl, Amber A'Lee Frost.

Full on fist pumped when I heard her laugh off mic at the 60 second mark and realized it would be an Amber episode

Vintage Amber

Smerconish is hilarious because he’s the fancy lad son of a real estate agent who looks like a 1000 year old specter. She still has billboards all over specifically affluent areas, and her fancy lad somehow still has a show

Amber episode the slop is good tonight folks

Monkeys are usually used for safety studies, not research.

I am very happy with the Karl pilkington ref here

I think "Alpha Genesis" was literally a Tim Heidecker sponsor from On Cinema lol

The point about jobs is so right. Got my first blue collar job a few years ago, as a ramp agent, loading and unloading planes. It's nice to use my body doing something that actually needs to be done.

not Felix calling Hamtramck "ham track" lmao

“get a job” - podcasters

Hey! Leave Rhode Island out of this!

Muhammad Alienated

It’s funny that the article talked up Harris’s coalition building. Uncommitted got 100k votes in Michigan and Harris lost by 80k. She could have tried to build a coalition there instead paling around with Cheney.

Ohio mentioned 😤

countdown clock till Jacques tweets "I FOUND 42 MONKEYS YALL"

What a _balm_; thank you so much guys 😌

This trump voting bloc must surely be the stupidest and/or most misinformed (willfully or otherwise) in American political history, which is quite the feat

I need my SLOP.

monke

OHH CHIMPANZEE THAT MONKEY NEWS YOU FFF

Anyone else hear that message Felix had for me specifically?

Hell yes the monkeys have the rage it’s 28 days later bitches

Y’all think Felix goons or edges ? Will definitely edges

Goon no edge

I wait for every show and listen the same night. Long live Chapo. Long live our ability to shit on the things we don't like the same way the fascists do without expecting everyone we know to contribute substantially to the coming revolution. It's unfortunate we actually want things to get better and don't go into euphoria when things actively get darker because that makes it much harder to just enjoy shitting on all that must be shit on.

They tried to beat Chapo with a finely tuned political critique But the Trap House is cool media And we just wanted to be entertained *** Can’t wait to keep laughing and crying with you all for the next four years! Love to Matt, Will, Felix, Chris, and all…

My girlfriend is Japanese and has no understanding of western political campaigning (we live in Japan), so when she asked why were Kamala people so confident one of the things I mentioned was ‘Taylor Swift endorsed her’ she burst into laughter

First and I’m gay

OMG Amber!!

Putting the goon sesh on hold for this 💯

🗣

Goonmaxing to this

Felix begins speaking at 3 minutes and 31 seconds

Great episode guys! I just listened to the entire thing.

I love chapo and gooning man

First!

Yeah the boys

first

Hey
