913 - Only the Lonely feat. Julian Feeld (3/3/25)
QAA’s Julian Feeld joins us today to give us his report from last week’s CPAC convention. We look at the usual carnival of cruelty on display at the Gaylord Convention Center, with an added layer of vindictiveness in the second Trump era. We also discuss at how QAnon has been fully metabolized into political discourse, and check in on some classic characters like Mike Lindell and JFK. Jr. Finally, a rather grim reading series looking at the lonely political life of Senator Fetterman.

God JD Vance has me bricked up! 🇮🇱🇮🇱🏄♀️🏄♀️👄🦔🚬🚬😢😢🦔🥳🏄♀️
That senator Rocky guy is a like a Taoist priest. “The Way of the Dao is neither soft nor hard, it simply is; just like how I do my job.”
The QAA podcast is consistently top teir
“I’m so ronery…” didn’t Kim jong il say a similar thing to federman?
Living for Felix’s cackling during the Fetterman segment
Gorgeous Prince pull
If it Schlapps, it leads.
Julian funny as hell lol
Dying at Felix singing “everyday is like your son’s birthday”
Hey is anyone in here UAW 2325 by any chance? Felix saying “medium good lawyer” reminded me
we love the prince needle drop dont we?
“Conservatives think rights begin with them and end with you.” — Matt Cristman Still the best def.
This guest was so good, please have him on again!
…Rfk. R not J
Fetterman isn’t a zombie, he’s a golem.
Joe Biden unfortunately had the related condition, Wife's Hair Biting Disease. Not as well-documented or sympathetic right now, sadly.
It's funny how the Squad (RIP) pretended that this dynamic with thin margins worked the opposite way. That they had to be more loyal to the Party center since they held important votes. I hope enough people paid attention to their grifts for the next time a small progressive faction emerges.
Oh God, not the stupid nukes. Yeah, sure, Ukraine in 1994 was going to throw whatever ex-Soviet military units they had in the country against the rest of the military that those units were a part of until a few years before to stop nuclear weapons from being confiscated that the government had no conceivable ability to maintain and no existing conflict to use them for. What an extremely was ever going to happen thing
Felix’s fetterman is 100% baby cakes from Brad Neely
All we need is Brad Neely to make the fated Fetterman/Peterson summit happen
I LOVE QAA, lol can yall get Liv Agar on sometime too ? shes such an icon
Liv Agar
Yo congrats on the film guys!
you could put a banana peel 50 steps in front of fetterman and he’s such a stupid oaf he’d watch it the whole way and still slip on it
Like Charlie Kelly to a dog turd
"Senator Fetterman, you can't make it through Bluey! Why are you watching Live Leak?!"
Love to QAA
This is what dorks felt like about the multiverse of madness (love to QAA)
Love to Julian and the entire italodisco community
Good guest
When it’s about performative politics and what donors want Fet immediately becomes articulate
The happy science cult made some anime to share their lore which features Atlantis, Hellen Keller, and Hitler. Also there's clips of the leader "channeling" famous dead people , plus Obama for some reason. The channel Mother's Basement on YouTube covers it and it's a wild ride.
Still waiting for the Keller and Teller fanfic
I’m losing it at this reading series
I just find it so bizarre the culture around being in the club and people are happily bopping along to a song and fist pumping to the lyrics "certified pedophile" with glee. When will this be fucking over? In addition, Blink Fitness seems to only play not like us on repeat without breaks and it is one of the reasons I cancelled my gym membership.
nice prince drop
‘Lix laughing throughout 1:05:xx >>
Fetterman thought his pay was biweekly but agent 47 convinced him it's quarterly
Great uncle joke!
I had the pleasure of seeing EEPHUS on Sunday here in beautiful Worcester, Massachusetts on the last stop of their “barnstorming” tour of New England. History was made by the first major motion picture to be shown in Worcester before New York City. I’d highly recommend the film
Felix can be so dumb sometimes. Ukraine never had control of the nukes stationed there you cretin. Their arming keys were always and only in Moscow.
Kinda think they have to take more of the lib position to stay contrarian now that Trump's posture is going to become the mainstream one
God damn, Felix’s Fetterman impression is cringe
there’s like a 3 hour video series on youtube on that japanese cults series of anime movie releases which features their lore and leader alongside stolen animated character IP (he’s a descendant of Buddha?)
Please tell me what to google
Anyone know the 2nd to last song they played?
Eephus is a CTH joint? The trailer randomly popped up on my feed the other week, looks good
"I'm no different than a plumber, I go to my job everyday and put the poop in the sink." Good shit
Cracking up that the chapo movie will play at the Wexner Center for the Arts
Good ol’ Columbus
Zelensky is a dead man. As for you, do you think you will be able to withdraw from this as some ill fated imperialist adventure in a third world shit hole? We have opened the gates to hell! War is coming.
Tbh this was like the only outcome after 2020 when zelensky literally outlawed like all of the popular parties in Ukraine that were pro Russian lol. He literally just said fuck It and banned literally all of the parties in the country that liked Russia more and made it a crime to like Russia. And it's pretty obvious Biden was responsible lol. Doesn't mean I liked those parties but all of this like Russia gate shit just clearly was going to lead somewhere somewhere like this where people ask why the fuck did the United States try to install an anti Russian military dictatorship on Russias border when Putin's like obsessed with security
John Fetterman: Round is the Loneliest Shape
I honestly do think the assassination attempt was staged. No one put this idea in my head. This is what I believed immediately. The WWE guy got the one possible bullet wound that could heal in like a week from one of the faster bullets someone was likely to try to kill him with. Then he slapped the ear not facing the camera and immediately posed for the camera. Yes, they would kill a random person over this. No. I'm not saying that because Orange man bad, I'm saying that because the kind of person that wants to be POTUS is willing to kill civillians. That's their job. You either believe this country does these things overseas or you don't. I do, so I believe they'd do it here. Any fucking one of them.
Ever shot a gun before?
Sometimes I send Fetterman songs by Elliott Smith, Sparklehorse, and that one Mount Eerie album to see if it can speed up the process. No luck yet but I’ll keep trying.
You’ve gotta add that Sun Kil Moon album about Mark Kozelek’s cousin dying in a trash can fire
Walking into John Fettermans office sounds like the lamest possible version of the scene in Nosferatu when Thomas Hutter first walks into Orlok's castle.
My two favourite podcasts coming together. The world is healing
The boys have fallen for lib takes about the zelensky meeting, they should watch it closely before commenting on it Zeldisney was straight up rude and kept interrupting. JD finally did something cool and we’re supposed to pretend he was annoying? Seriously rewatch it, Trump and JD were incredibly restrained.
It had ‘kid in the principal’s office’ energy
Been waiting on a qaa chapo collab
Julian!! One of my favs of any pod. QAA is fantastic
Pretty shit take about No Other Land in the beginning. Obviously there’s a huge lack of awareness of wtf is even happening pre and post October 7th in Palestine especially in settler communities and the doc showed a on the ground reality of that. Sure we can have nuanced opinions about whether a 2 state solution is even based in reality but as far as a piece of Palestinian media to get chalked up to Liberal Zionism I feel like the boys just have a disconnect on what it’s like to not wear tinfoil on your head.
not gonna read all that DTI
Normally I'd agree with "never give up your nukes" but good lord I cant imagine how fucked up a russia ukraine war would have been in the 90s Like the point of Budapest was to stop that war from happening, yeltsin or otherwise
Faust, right before Mephisto shows up: this is the best Oscars ever!
Zelensky should've worn a camouflage business suit
I think he should have gone in like the 90s track suit chav and talked to them like Borat
Dude I’m so stoked for this movie… baseball has absolutely become the way for which I notate the passage of time, it is the thing that keeps me tied to people I love from my childhood whom I would have otherwise lost touch with years ago, it is the six month long novel that I ambient-ly follow every day… it’s really not even filed in the same category in my brain as other sports... Pastime works I guess? Really stoked for this…
I found a copy of the crack head ceo book at my gfs parents house and the hologram was shocking
"Are you Meadow Soprano's roommate?" let rip the ugliest of cackles to this
Don’t have anywhere else to share it but thanks for doing the zohran interview a couple weeks ago, Will. My wife and I petitioned for signatures for him this weekend and will keep volunteering for his campaign for the next few months.
Its great to hear a Chapo/QAA crossover again.
Again?? Must find the others
Rug pull on seniors for SocialSecurityCoin
Top tier guest from another top tier show if you ask me…
Best Prince song
What’s that track called? I really liked that little snippet!
Good Felix episode
Perhaps we should stop asking what our senators are doing and start asking how are senators are feeling? As a person once hospitalized for being suicidally depressed, I can confirm that part of the discharge process is becoming a Zionist.
Somehow they managed to not pick a single theater for Eephus in Oregon or Washington. Incredible. Thanks guys.
Felix begins speaking at 1 minute and 26 seconds
Not since Megan McCain's dumb book has Felix gone all red-eyes. Maybe the woodstock documentary.
10/10 ep
I held cardano coin when i was into crypto in college 😔 At the time it was the “smart” one made by engineers taking crypto seriously as a scalable thing. dumb guy idea of smart guy stuff
russiagate wasn’t the lib version of qanon, qanon was the con version of russiagate. All through spring and summer of 2017, libs were talking about the walls closing in on Trump, like with the Louise mench “death penalty is being considered for bannon” type tweets. Then in October 2017, Qanon started posting similar stuff.
Imagining the facility that has to keep cranking out Bannon clones as they kill him
“House of the rising sun” scene in Casino for the United States
Given that Trump pressed him like they were in the back room at Satriale's, the Z-Man could've at least worn a track suit; Felix isn't entirely wrong!
I get that you're joking here but he really is doing his best to run the USA like Satriale's, suckling pigs and all
Seeing Keir Starmer use the words "coalition of the willing" to back Zelensky after his humiliation was so darkly hilarious, he's speed-running towards Francois Hollande approval ratings
JD Vance was a correspondent in the marines. He had the same job as the main character in Full Metal Jacket.
I wonder if he spent his time doing John Wayne impressions...
Felix’s point about local news pages is so true. A kid in town got caught vandalizing a public bathroom and there were old people calling for the gallows on the patch.com post.
I love it when two podcasts I listen to hang out. I wish Jake was on, Julien without Jake like seeing a turtle dove without its mate.
I have to politely disagree. Jake is insufferable to me. The very mid-wittery of the man, with his constant ghostbusters references, he is totally infuriating
FELIX!! Do more Fettermang!! Thank you
We need a red scare take down
More and more people are saying it
Another guest doing the "podcasts I listen to" circuit
There’s a hedonic treadmill for worry like there is for happiness. It’s why celebs and rich people so often decide to become deranged. The less real things you have to worry about the more fantastical your invented ones have to be.
Calling the makers of No Other Land liberal zionists is a big fuckin stretch man
Seeing as they got pounced on by Zionists after their speech at the Oscars, it seems especially insane right?
Reagan had a pretty seizable recession early on and still extremely won
you! I know you also listen to trash future, which Julian fields guest episode should I listen to first, and does one totally invalidate the other?
happy science have their own anime lmao
Julian Feeld
The best QAnon anonymous content was the “Stephen Hawking goes to Epstein Island” episode
Fetterman giving off some heavy livia soprano vibes
Suits are bullshit
Millei has the hair of that autistic boomer in Super Size Me who ate three Big Macs every day for 40 years
I don’t know how JD whining for a complement can be seen as masculine behavior.
Fetterman has missed the most Senate votes to date. What a fucking disappointing loser.
He’s off eating from RFK Jr’s roadkill freezer
“Fun” fact: the two white guys who lynched Emmet Till hired or threatened two black men to help with the beating in the barn where they kidnapped him
"He's such a genius that he can't even speak" is how I'm gonna justify my social fuckups from now on
The new conservative motto: "I'm both mad AND actually laughing right now!"
I can't stand referring to people who by all accounts should be getting regular mental health checks and home care as "digital soldiers" but if it keeps emboldening J6ers to draw on cops and get hole punched I suppose I'll put up with it.
It’s been hilarious watching pardoned J6ers immediately go back to prison on other charges or get aerated during a traffic stop. Would like to see more of it.
Peace Walker Reference
Did you guys get to meet Frederick Wiseman or Spaceman Lee from being involved with this movie? Crazy cast
So sad Fetterman doesn’t have other Alice the Goon types or Zippy the Pinheads to hang out with. I imagine his office as piled with rabbits and female staffers he petted too hard.
2025 is truly the year of "everyone is autistic except actual autistic people, who will die from having their Medicaid and SSI benefits cut by the billionaire sociopaths pretending to be autistic."
Autistic people aren’t disabled usually, only the low functioning ones that are completely nonverbal. Elon is a sociopath moron and also clearly autistic himself
Jesus didn’t think Felix of all people would be on the side of “yeah why didn’t Zelenskyy wear a suit”
If Zelenskyy had been audibly vaping it would have gone great
Millei’s got the haircut of a Columbo villain
I always thought it was "light of loafers" -like an olde english way of saying "I'm gay"
Oh cmon the pedo stuff is a product of 4chan
cold press gang holy shit lol
I farted up all the cum in my ass to be here
Green Beans! Commas & Pesos!!😋🤑💰💰💰💰💰
When will chapo condemn Hamas
Ohhh baby finally !!!!!!! haven’t chapo and Gooned in so long !!!!! Got my favourite lube and my fav scent on my Felix body pillow ready to destroy my shit😈😈😈 demon time 😈😈😈
When will this show denounce Eyup Lovely and Hamas?
Worst
Can’t wait to hear about how lonely that Fetterman arsehole is! Just need to put away my fleshlight and $39.99 per month AI anime girlfriend, microwave some chicken tenders and strap in!
First and still: gay
1st
