1063 - Blue Collar Symphony feat. Bryan Quinby & Chris James (8/17/26)
The titular Guys are back! We continue our coverage of the deteriorating conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln before checking in on two women in politics: Nancy Mace and Natalie Harp. We then do a deep dive into the world of mafia-turncoat-influencers, former made men in the Five Families who now run YouTube channels to talk about food, gay people in the mafia, and how you should spend your money.

my chapo, my chapo, and me
Francese sounds like a nick Mullen impression of a wise guy
Just want to point out Felix mixed up “The lords of discipline” (a movie about the citadel military school) and “the masters of discipline” (some weird BDSM porno flick from the 70s). Considering the SF citadel was a BDSM factory I got very confused trying to figure out wtf he was talking about lol
ACTUALLY the names Cuomo and Como are equivalent, these are just different varieties of Italian.
don’t be a menace to east New York while drinking the juice in the store
Felix I’m sorry to tell you but that music is AI af
hi chapo
K
Y I hh Hh hhhkhjgu I g
Banter is fun but listen to them listen to videos sucks
What was that fucking song at the end. I tuned it out. AI slop country?
would love an extended bill maher rip / commentary
I don't think anyone on this program has said something as relatable as "I thought of myself as a poet, because I was fucking trashed all the time" that plus oxy and heroin was my entire 20s and it was is so embarrassing.
Down Periscope is the most accurate submarine movie ever made.
Triple majoring is real—don’t do it.
Nancy Mace's father ran the citadel when she was in it so did she really pass?
It's not about crime and the law being mutually dependent, it's about the fact that he is bourgeois, and even as a criminal bourgeois he gets better treatment from the law than the average proletarian. He understands that the cops main objective is to beat down people below him on the social-economic hierarchy.
While I can’t top the Crash Bandicoot story I will offer a PSA: if you’re starting a GLP-1 med, never trust a fart.
I'm not gay, but I would eat a hotdog out of my wife's pussy.
1:05:50 mafia guy says 6 7
Oh my god this episode was made for me I’ve been obsessed with Mafia turncoat youtube for a while now
VIOLENCE GANG REPRESENT! Bruisers running wild in the chat
I feel like they should send all these old out of shape veterans, we can have a redo of The Battle of The Somme, 50k casualties on the opening day
working in construction i see a lot of male mid-life crises. it's been interesting to watch nancy mace's female mid-life crisis. don't often see it from that side.
Spencer not knowing about Monroe and the mob: OPEN THE SCHOOLS
With Redbar gone everyone is doing youtuber/podcast reaction content even Chapo wow
Real Italian Americans know that calling tomato sauce “gravy” is LARPing type shit
Will says “6 or 7” at 35:12
Nancy Mace looks so much like the older version of Marnie from Girls. And it really would be soooo Marnie to get her life together by becoming a republican politician and then having a little freak out and get extremely random and dated tattoos.
Everyone forgets about the breast enlargement
We made it like 3 weeks without 15 minutes of shit jokes
Please release the full song, Diary of a Rogue Prince by Felix Biederman
Low information density in this episode.
It’s a bittersweet blue collar symphony yeaaaaah ha
Mamdani is strong arming Italian landlords like he’s young Vito Corleone. “De renta staya like-a before”
That is fucking deep cut. Well done
Hell yeah, shoutout fuckin Zanzibar at the end
When I used to be a Bill Maher fan, I was already annoyed by his islamophobia. More importantly, I was annoyed by his way of presenting himself as "raised Catholic" and bla bla bla. Yes, he was raised Catholic....but he wasn't raised hardcore Catholic otherwise his Catholic father wouldn't have married his Jewish mother.
Golfer here; the answer to your question about the locker room is that golf rooms are actually carpeted and kept clean and she probably slept on a padded bench tidied up. The reason she was able to do this is that so few women play golf at trumps clubs, it’s essentially a public locker room that is used 5 times a day.
Sorry who the fuck is Spencer???
their production assistant
That is why they're called the silent generation 😏
I'm really enjoying the part where you guys watch the funny videos that we can't see but also talk over them so we can't hear them
best olive garden commercial ever
I once killed an Italian man for calling sauce "gravy" and I won't hesitate to do it again
Diarrhea Of A Pooparizing Shit Stirrer
The most committed, fanatic demo of MAGA voters is women who have been banned from a local restaurant for spitting on the hostess.
Chapo Crap House
I stayed at an Airbnb and their dvd collection included 2 copies of Halo 2 for the Xbox.
Joe Pesci says pretty much this about the red wine vinegar in the Irishman, "best thing we ever did"
I hate when someone has genuine talent and artistic creativity but ends up just becoming a podcast or streaming drone because it's easier to monetize. It's so sad that those mob guys can't live off their true passion like they used to
Best episode in recent memory. Thank you Mr Chapo
@30:10 Driving to work I almost crashed my car crying laughing at this story. There's nothing funnier in the entire universe than a kid trying to take a prank dump but still managing to shit into his own pants somehow. It's just perfect man
Street Fight may be over, but Bryan is still doing the work. I blanked on a the exact phrase when I was trying to paraphrase John Rees' "buffet lunch" critique of the Labour Party and had to just roll with "cut and eat as you go" in a talk
I love the idea of the deck of the carrier being lined with sailors fishing for dinner so much
the pentagon is reallly forgetting the lessons of the USS We Built This Yesterday ice cream ship
all i can think about during the JP segment is all the moltisanti memes socialist sopranos posts 😂😂😂😂
…now…because of the drugs…you can no longer function as a man.
Always delighted when Layer Cake is mentioned lol
This episode sucked 😔
Nothing like some Redwall vittles
Atp I’m convinced my grandparents were the only Italians in the inner mountain west region who weren’t there because of witness protection
i swear i was gonna eat something today,, and not be a semi-ana femcel. but i cant get the 20minutes of shit stories out of my head.. lol lowk thank you:) im gonna look cvnt aff
So this is what Naughty Dog is doing with their Netflix money
Those carriers will probably get incinerated before September, unless Iran has a different idea for what to do when the ultimatum timeline runs out
The fbi must’ve really hated the shit out of that guy. Sending a guy to Florida to avoid the mob is like sending is like sending someone to Antarctica to avoid snow
Ukraine: my dad hasn't been rotated in a year, can you keep him from dying? USA: my dad hasn't been rotated in a year, can you keep him from dying? Israel: we're literally falling apart and in danger of a civil war Everyone else: kinda sounds like a you problem
The only dvds they have are Fievel Goes West and Jarhead.
It's only one of the sequels of Jarhead where being a disposable foot soldier is cool and good actually
One prolfic complainer: ɯ-°U°-ɯ
It would be awesome if the sailors just grounded the boat on the shores of Iran and defected.
The movie about the Citadel that Felix references as Master of Discipline, is not the name of the movie - the movie by that name is, er, about something... else. He meant The Lords of Discipline. I only mention this because, as a Freudian slip it's a good one. Fighting in the Age of Loneliness indeed...
Youtube now spams me with BlueChew ads instead of therapy ads when I listen to Chapo highlights.
loved the sharting stories part
and Brian’s friend who robbed a great clips
Modern country music is so unbearably bad, yet so popular. What does that say about our society.
Incredible low-density of information in this episode.
Nancy Mace is slowly transforming into Gemma Teller Morrow "this is the type of pain I need to feel right now"
I like the idea of sailors catching fish but we got a little bit worse than a Deepwater Horizon spill in this area from all the destroyed tankers... Catch and Release only!
I hope it becomes normalized for the actors in a movie to have a little post-credits scene begging you to tell your friends and family about the film
Pat Finnerty mentioned!
Yeah I can definitely relate to having a summer home except it was also my home for the other three seasons as well.
Felix's "Like Saladin?" is wasted on a movie guy, a violence gang guy, and Neil Hamburger with a prank call show.
My neighbor shit his pants playing crash bandicoot on ps1 as well lmao
Chapo kinda turning into cumtown, just guys listening to shitty stuff on YouTube, kinda cool
sometimes you just need an ep for the fellas
You think hegseth like cobra?
8:28 It’s probably not Gulf War vets sounding off, it’s likely Granada vets calling these sailors out for being soft.
“Look boys, I know you’re feeling trapped; but have you considered anxiously pacing the perimeter of your enclosure like a caged tiger?”
Is it immoral to be fat? Is it so laughable? Is it astonishing.. is it a spectacle .. is it offensive?
It is immoral to be a glutton, I don't think fatness and morality are connected. It is tremendously funny and a spectacle when a guy masquerading as a tough mafioso cool guy cannot see his own penis. It's like John Podhoritz talking about masculinity and virtues, or Rod Dreher talking about how being gay is bad. That's the joke, it's right there. It's hilarious to be lectured to about toughness by a guy who can't run 800 meters and who's job is podcast host.
Hey you Will you wanna have graff beef. Lmk where ur up and I’ll go over you. Tryna escalate some shit
Someone tell Felix I intensely care about hypocrisy. Can't stop thinking about it. I care deeply about hypocrisy.
I would take that story to my grave. God damn.
based
W C as C
Crazy that me and Felix had almost the same PlayStation situation happen to us, damn that’s really my close friend Felix bedermen (idk how to spell it)
I'm not a cannibal, but that dudes jowl would make a meeeeaaaaan barbacoa.
John Penis is a great mob name.
NGL I thought this was chumlee from Pawn Stars at first
Until they elaborated on skydumping I thought he meant that his friend would sit on the toilet with his legs straight up on the stall walls and was like yeah, how else is that supposed to end
Felix playing Crash Bandicoot so much that he sharted in his pants is the story I didn’t know I needed to hear.
I hope he was wearing white linen pants.
They couldn’t get 300 in bulk so all they got was the e crappy sequel
ughhh this music is atrocious
Nancy Mace saying she is getting the tattoos to “feel the pain” is stealing the swag of Ronnie from Jersey Shore. Same as Ronnie going to get a praying hand with a rosary tattoo after getting caught cheating on his gf, pretty sure he said the exact same thing about needing to feel the pain
This episode is NOT safe for girlfriends
"If you give a woman an elixir, that's at least one girlfriend" - Felix Cosby
We got so close to a whole show without a mention of game of thrones and then Will just hands a primed syringe full of heroin as he's about to reach the finish line. You tried, buddy, and I'm so proud of you.
Felix already made a Golden Company reference earlier in the ep
I NEED a link to the interview with a fatass mobster talking about food.
Diarrhea Polarizing Figure
they do in fact est MREs in the military. theyre probably out of them
They're also ungodly expensive and logistically more complex to fulfill compared to cooking food in a field kitchen. Logistics are always the answer - you can have an aircraft carrier the size of a star destroyer, but if you can't source the parts to fix the toilets and get them to the persian gulf, then it doesn't matter how many wizzbang weapons you have.
Gravy 🤢 In Sopranos when Ralph is making spaghetti and saying put the gravy on the macaroni I was like wtf my Italian American family has never referred to it that way
It genuinely might just be an NJ Italian thing. Im from there and a lot of Italians I know call it gravy
OK Will was a graf writer during his teen years in Manhattan?? This is the lore I need.
Criminal no sell on Chris' good Nancy Mace-Graham Platner tattoo joke
The episode thumbnail makes me miss Rob Ford for some reason
The only thing on board the Lincoln for entertainment is a DvD copy of season 1 of the Cleveland Show, a PS2, a scratched copy of GTA Vice City and 1 controller
As I've listened to this show, it's kind of unnerving uncovering all the crap I have in common with Felix
Not sure if this is true of greaseballs everywhere, but the greaseballs of south philly and south jersey LOVE country music. I assume it is for racist reasons.
The episode image haunts me. It’s like giving a bratwurst a face and a Yankees cap.
flubs count for two on this one
Before I changed my ways I used to run with a real degenrate crew. We would all get inside a big trenchcoat and sneak into the movies with only one ticket.
Oh fuuuuuck yeah. Reminder that Bryan sucked his girlfriend’s titties for 3 hours instead of having sex.
Just thinking about the soldiers coming back and getting slapped for not dying in the war like the guy did in godzilla minus one.
Will should save the Kirk Cousins reference for a Roth episode.
Hedonism 2 mention when?
Natalie Harp popping a single titty into Trump's dessicating dying mouth like the end of Grapes of Wrath
Top comment here
I’d like to hear more about Will’s graffiti past
Writing his phone number in a bathroom stall
Fam, last summer I rented a cabin and they had sopranos season 1. It was so sick.
I did Felix’s story when I was 13 and playing Roller Coaster Tycoon on Christmas Eve. The poop was so bad we didn’t go to church until Christmas Day
Felix begins kissing my penis at 1:02
deliriously excited to hear pat finnerty mentioned . get him on the pod
I can't listen to bryan quinby, his voice is way too watery. Just swallow already, jesus christ.
I agree
Nice to hear an old fashioned Dan Quinn “I’M BUSY”
just an example from privi scandi social democracy: if a shop had like 3-4 juice containers with broken seals it would at the minimum end up in the local news on tv - then the municipality would come out guns blazing - i hope to see mamdanistan mobilize around this effort
You know, when young Khazars would finally be allowed to ride proper stallions by themselves at age 6 it would not be uncommon for them to be so enamoured with the horse that they procrastinate certain bodily functions and mistake a fart for something a little more substantive - it was totally normal then Felix
the Jack Ossoff (Steve Cheung Chapo head confirmed?) Natalie thing is so funny man, the president is diaped up and has an insane Christian nationalist to clean his botty and apparently everyone knows about it judging by the conservative media ecosystem wagon circling
Does Felix address that chick's accusations? I typically ignore radlib cancel culture but it sounds pretty bad
Are you trying to get people to google this stuff you say on every ep? You always make up one thing and it makes me think of gilbert gottfried roasting bob saget by saying he definitely did not rape and murder a woman in 1990
#Guyslovers who up?
I want them to arrest that guy, just for the divine comedy of a helicopter arriving to escort him to a military prison awaiting trail, but dropping off NO SUPPLIES for the remaining crew. They come JUST to pick up this guy
Dude the Pat mcafee songs really shred. That is the low tempo low iq anthems top40 music consumers of 2026 deserve
Chris James! Collect your two time Chapo challenge coin brotha
Whenever Friendly Jordies isn't on the podcast, everyone should be saying, where's Friendly Jordies?
If friendlyjordies has million number of fans i am one of them . if friendlyjordies has ten fans i am one of them. if friendlyjordies have only one fan and that is me . if friendlyjordies has no fans, that means i am no more on the earth . if world against the friendlyjordies, i am against the world.
We called him Johnny Juicer because he said everything TWO TIMES. And he loved free apple juice swigs in the store!
I ALWAYS enjoy a complimentary Red Bull when I’m doing grocery shopping!
Would you hold me when were both hiding in the food truck?
Lou-CHAY-zee, Will? I’m very disappointed in your mispronouncing this fine Italian American family’s name? It’s Italian American discrimination. See you at the Columbus Day protest battle!
Anyone else hit the WTF line same time as Felix
About living in a locker room or about robbing Great Clips? Either way, yes
U.S. out of Old Town!
This is a shitty episode
I'm just saying, the Navy never had these problems when Fat Leonard was running things.
The X-Games really need to bring back Skydumping.
Should get the Japanese into it. They'll be hitting multistory shots in a year
CIA handlers told Chapo to get back on a regular posting schedule before someone on the USS Lincoln actually follows through with those intrusive thoughts.
Who that 🤨
I'll be honest, something about Nancy Mace is a huge turn on. Like butt eating hot. 👍
Yeahhh, she can sit on my face
Nah man, you gotta get off Zoloft cold turkey, only way
Mr Cheapy Refund.
Mr-unoriginal- joke guy
QUEEBER AND GRIS❤️
Looking at the videos of the USS Lincoln reminded of something that always upset me when I was living in the US. 1) how is it that a toilet used by more than 3-4 people on a regular basis inevitably becomes absolutely revolting in no time. Do people just piss on the seat for fun? Does nobody clean toilets ever? and 2) why are the doors on public toilets in America so tiny and why is there always like 0.5-1” gap between the door frame and the door? It feels like taking a shit in front of other people because it’s so easy to be seen behind those tiny doors. These are my thoughts for the day
The fact that it happens at all is mystifying frankly. You can just… put the seat up and not piss on it. Dudes do NOT wipe the seat down in the US. Male hygiene here is generally bad honestly. Men seem to be pissing while their dick whips around like a wind sock in a strong breeze.
Queeber!!!!
We love our Matty, folks!
They keep raising the mission cap on the Abraham Lincoln like in catch 22
Tried to jump overboard? Send em over to Doc Daneeka
Hell yeah Queeber and Gris are back
YouTube Chris James?
We could never be made. My family comes from Tin Can Holler in Northeast Tennessee. It’s some real greaseball shit.
If you’re reading this, it’s time to do laundry.
Laundry day is Friday, Tuesday is "sleep in a prison cell disguised as a semi truck cabin" day
oh fuck yeah
Felix starts speaking @ 1:02 lets fucking gooo I cant believe I was here early enough to post this comment first this is the greatest moment of my life
Good job brother
I too am declaring for the WNBA draft
First for fettergoat
Hell yeah
Probably not first, but definitely gay.
