Update on Show Personnel
Dear Grey Wolves,
After over four years as a co-host, co-producer, and collaborator, Virgil Texas is departing Chapo Trap House in order to pursue other creative projects.
Virgil's contributions to the show over the last four years have been immeasurable and we are truly sad to see him go. Virgil's commentary, interviews, game mastering, and vibes will always be an essential part of Chapo lore and canon. This separation is mutual and amicable and we all wish him the absolute best in developing his podcast Bad Faith and all future projects.
Thanks as always to you listeners for your continued support, we're looking forward to many more great shows in the future.
Virgil can currently be found at Bad Faith at http://badfaithpodcast.com and on Twitter @VirgilTexas.
Semper Games,
Will, Felix, Matt, Amber, & Chris

"in order to pursue other creative projects" lol about that ...
dog this post is seven months old
suss
:(
Figured. 😞
Last show in LA Virgil spoke once and landed a perfect joke and then was on his phone for the rest of the time. I looked at what he was doing on Twitter during that time and he was answering some Twitter jeopardy bot account. Good for him
can he come back yet
More Mike Recine now that a spots open.
Bad Faith really does kind of suck, in the same way that TYT and Twitter generally kind of suck, which is why I think it's going to be a huge success.
I hope you made him sign a beast of an NDA
his whole life is an NDA lol
Not to be an ass but Bad Faith sucks ass
Knew there was a split ever since the last episode he was on he was introduced the same way as the guest. Hope he has success in his endeavors, but honestly don't think it's a smart move to throw his eggs in the BJG basket. Yes, she was Bernies National Press Secretary (Also kinda goofed on this), but she also lends credence to grifters like Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald. I tried to give Bad Faith a fair shake but can't listen anymore after the way she disrespected and yelled over Chomsky and Sam Seder.
Agree with all of this.
Aw bummer. He's always been a delight on Chapo but I appreciate the good work he's doing on bad faith
It's really sad that sometimes people who were considered part of your team leave you. Nevertheless, we wish him the best of luck!
I will never forget virgil steadying his cohost from tipping over during a certain election night stream. A beautiful gesture, to me. The new pod has had some great moments i hope it gets into stride
well, tits.
That sucks, but I get it. Hearing him on Chapo the last year or so and hearing him on Bad Faith it's pretty clear that podcasting is taking a psychic toll on him and he'd be happier in more solitary activities. He was a great addition to the lineup and added a lot to the chemistry but he shouldn't do it if it's grinding on him the way it so clearly was, which I totally recognize as someone who also often feels the same "i don't like that go away i don't want to do that stop talking to me stop trying to make me talk or do things or like things" energy.
Gonna miss Virgil obviously. I tried my best with Bad Faith but the chemistry just doesn’t seem there and podcast chemistry is everything. Virgil felt like he was diametrically opposed to Matt at times but that’s good, you need that. Not sure if the differences strained too much into personal life. Would be unfortunate.
That blows, Virgil was the only thing connecting y’all to semi-mainstream reality, not totally relegated to a counter-culture corner of internet nerd. You’ve fucked up by letting him go. I’m guessing the rest of it will come down soon. Fun while it lasted, though.
Lol hes basically been gone for over a year already
Okay, now replace Virgil with Old Man Dave Anthony.
Virgil does flirt better on his own podcast.
Chapo 4 Lyfe. Blood in, blood out
Congrats on the professional, individual, and spiritual growth boys! I love bad faith. Hey anyone know how to level out audio? I can’t hear Virgil and BJG’s mic volume always sounds enhanced x10, then my ears start bleeding
Honestly, I've been subscribed to bad faith since jump street and it's fine, if kinda boring, and I like BJG, but on the rare occasions when Virgil does speak, he sounds like all the life and humor has been drained out of him. He just hasn't been the same since Bernie went down.
RIP to a real one.
Bad Faith is fine, I don't know why people have such strong feelings about it
The invocation of Michael Brooks's name in support of ftv in debate with Sam Seder has to be the low point of basic human decency in left discourse I've come across so far.
Damn, I'm sad.
We've lost our sexiest catgirl
Feels appropriate that I read this while white knuckling my way through my worst shit of 2021
As a Brit I’ll miss Virgil because he was the only one who ever questioned whether the right-wing, anti-immigration fuelled Brexit project was actually a good idea unlike you folks who seem to blame the EU for the miners strike, you Morning Star-brain-poisoned Stalinist weirdos! (Joking). (I’m not).
What will become of the beltway garage? bum dum dum dum, beltway garage (to the tune of “Beltway Garage Theme” by Christman and Texas)
Now there's only one girl left on the show and she barely shows up! So much for intersectionality.
this is news to exactly no one, tell us where the fuck Amber is
i think amber is working on her book
And then there were 4.
Does that mean we can finally email him?
Bit of a shame. Not gonna lie, Bad Faith Podcast is pure garbage.
How many episodes in are they?
You could have just taken him off the payroll but kept his name on the sign and only paid him for guest appearances that way I could still pretend he never left.
Virgil will be missed, and has been. Please have him come back for a Table Top Game Theory, at the very least.
lol didn't this happen 3 months ago? congrats to Virgil
I'll miss him ,and i'll miss the tabletop game specials the most
We haven’t heard from Amber since March.
hope it stays that way
I'm going to become racist now.
the pod needs another POC to save us from racism
see you next game
I thought Felix quit the show when he disappeared for like 4 months and made like 2 appearances. I don't listen to Bad Faith, this is vague but I guess the fans have to respect their privacy.
Best to all the show creators, including Virgil with his now announced (de jure, no longer de facto) departure. Life is Change, as Lao Tze noted long ago, so stuff like this happens. 1 of 6 members doesn't break a Gray Wolf movement, so I am still a subscriber who will stick with y'all . . . hope to see Amber start popping in from time to time again as well.
Really hope Virgil isn’t gonna pull a Rubin, that would break my heart.
Virgil ruled on the show and continues to rule on his own show. Only sad that I won't get to hear his incredible laugh as often. Looking forward to what comes next.
Looking at these comments and the situation overall, I would say this is very much like the split between the Left and Right Socialist Revolutionaries in Russia after the World War I. It should, of course, be clear which side is which. In this Patreon comment, I will...
godspeed bleep texas, off to beverage valhalla
Hm. I will definitely be e-mailing Virgil about this, in addition to all other issues and topics related to Chapo Trap House and everything besides Chapo Trap House. Anyway, once they get rid of Amber and Chris it'll be back to the OG dry boys. Honestly I don't know what "dry boys" are and I barely know what "OG" means, but they sure are words that indicate Will, Felix, and Matt.
in-joke about un-lubricated condoms
Beltway garage for life 🤍 Virgil Texas for life. to the next chapter and beyond
After there was no mention from him or about him in the 500th episode it was very clear that he was gone and it was not amicable. Unfortunate but life goes on. BUT I WANT MORE AMBER I thought she might’ve gone too. Also Daniel Bessner and Derek Davison all the time
There was a falling out, for sure.
Can we still contact Virgil for show information, live schedule, and other Chapo-related items?
More cancel culture silencing white men. Look forward to hearing his epic takes on the JRE
This is what happens when you slash the show's drinks budget
Virgil was a bit of a nerd, am I right?
f
We can still email him with issues about the pod though, right?
Ridiculous prediction: Chapo are trying to figure out when and how the show will come to an end (my guess is episode 666.) The show started in a very different world and probably lasted longer and demanded more than anyone initially expected. Though awesome, it makes total sense to want to move on to new projects and directions that this podcast doesn't fit with. I hope y'all keep going, but if it's coming to an end in the next couple years, it's been a reliable touchpoint of sanity for a lot of us who never had this kind of media or political discussion in our respective areas. Good luck to Virgil and everyone, whatever might be on the horizon.
They’re making too much money and having too much fun to let it die
It's normal for social movements on their ascedancy to attract opportunists motivated by personal gain rather than deep conviction. If and when those movements fail - as the Sanders movement did, which is not surprising or anyone's fault - those opportunists leave. This can be heartbreaking on a personal level because it can lead to a deep sense of personal betrayal, but it's a normal and healthy part of the long term vibrancy of social movements. Life goes on, and on the other side, whatever else, you know who your real homies are.
Virgin l is in his feeling because they kept reminding him about his do-do ass ! Did you miss that point ?!
This is bs. Bring him back
Virgil had plenty of great and funny moments on the show. Even if the breakup wasn't amicable, just gotta thank him for his time and wish him success and happiness in future endeavors.
This is sad but I am glad the show officially said something
Sorry to hear Virgil go, but I'm happy to hear it was on good terms. Having said that, if you have a need for someone to drink half of your water bottles and clog your toilets, I am available. Contact information in my profile. Good luck out there, Virgil!
Just to let the boys know - I am available, have many excellent opinions and stirring insights, I can impersonate several creatures, mom has been trained not interrupt me when I'm on the computer, I don't get incapacitating tummy aches any more, I can provide lots of references - which actually bizarrely all share the same phone number - but they're definitely not just me doing different voices, I am natural blond which is representation you have flagrantly never really bothered with, I am otherwise completely unemployable so I need some kind of gig in podcasting, I will do whatever demeaning job you most require me too, like spooning tofu & milk into Felix's gaping maws between sets and fetching things from the fridge, I can spell but I don't know how to write an invoice

This post and the comments depress me. It makes me sad to even support this show and I'm honestly very concerned to think what the show will become over the next 3 years. What is even the point of it anymore? Bernie isn't running again, there's no lefty in government besides him what is the purpose of this show? If it's to be funny then I'm all for it but if you are trying to get clout from other NY podcasts and their listenership by dropping Virgil .. it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, nothing really funny about it
Unsubscribe you dork. Also it's very clear Virgil quit the show, they didn't kick him off lol
pain
Alright I'm ready, just make that call and I'll take Virgil's spot.
Please continue to email Virgil about issues with the podcast though.
good luck Virgil. Hopefully he can visit and do some guest spots like the Beltway Garage.
love to virgil and all chappies on da podcast
Virgil died of covid in 2019, nice try.
Getting rid of one of the two funny people on the show. Hopefully chapo doesn't turn into just another leftist soapbox.
That's called bad faith podcast lol. More like bad takes, am i right?
Hoping we get some beltway garage guest appearances come election time. God speed Virgil.
What’s up with Homegirl Amber?
pretty sure she's been busy working on her book that's coming out next year
was praying for one last beltway garage :(
Or Call of Cthulhu :(
If you don’t have him on occasionally as a guest we’ll know what’s really up. Sad.
Thanks for all the great Chapo shows Virgil! We love you buddy . Keep rocking baby
good luck virgil homie!
Amber is just writing a book right
Yes.
Good luck
I checked the Chapo Twitter account and saw they've pinned "Beltway Garage: Reboot." An appropriate tribute to the lad, to whom I am extremely grateful for all the laughs and insight over the past few years. Long live Virgil, long live Chapo. Much love to all.
Wow.
Rip felix, he had a nice suit and bought my freind dinner one time
Extreme sadness
Why couldn't it have been Amber
lol
Most of these comments suck! Virgil was good & the show is good with or without him! Good luck Virgil! Good luck Chapo!
I guess this means no 'A Wifely Solitude' follow-up. Tragic.
Godspeed Virgil x
I can’t tell y’all’s voices apart anyway
good riddance!
I liked bad faith but had to disengage as it feels more for Americans.I prefer chappo as it’s better distraction while the world burns
“Big ups Virgil”. -Chet Hanks
If they go for another host they should get someone like Derek Davison because i think American hyperpower is wheezing. Seriously, all this near-peer saber rattling shows that they've got one plan: hammer and nails.
I figured, but this sucks. I always felt like Virgil tempered Felix’s taking a bit too far/long with a random hilarious interjection. It’s just not the same with WMF, although it’s not as bad as when Will isn’t there. When will isn’t there the show is a mess. Miss you Virgil, he always had the best ‘growing up online’ cultural references, as far as I’m concerned.
Should we e-mail Virgil about this?
Really looks like there was a split in the party. There is no way to reconcile the arguments made in Matt's vlogs about disengaging and not investing in the spectacle of current politics and the direction Bad Faith takes focusing more on electoralism. I really miss the boys riffing but I don't think we are getting another beltway garage. Semper Gamer.
I hope they get another permanent mic. What I loved about prime era Chapo was the interplay between all the hosts. COVID era Chapo has been too much Will, Matt, Felix over and over. They're great, but mix some shit up now and then.
No, the exact opposite. WMF absolutely crush.
Sucks for Virgil, I wished he'd stay. I tried bad faith but brie is really bad and makes it unlistenable. Edit: brie isn't the worst and does make me laugh sometimes, but her podcast/discourse style (I feel like she starts talking over people and moving the goalposts when she's losing an argument, and contradicts herself sometimes) just isn't for me.
Wrong! Brie is amazing
Anybody here remember my old friend Virgil? Can you tell me where he's gone? He freed a lot of listener seed, but I hear the good die young, I just looked around and he was gooooonnne
we been knew
Not surprised but still a little sad that this is the official End of the Era of him on the show. One of my favorite memories during the primary/before covid was talking to him after the Vegas show and going out to dinner. Best of luck to our boy, he will do great things
F
It doesn't mean the show is over. It means the direction the majority of the show wants to go was the not the same direction he did. Some of the best content has been produced in the last year. We should wish our comrade the best in his new endeavors. Our portion of this society is too small not to be at least loosely united
I think so.
I was always wondering how Virgil was able to pull off co-hosting Chapo whilst also doing Bad Faith. Good luck to you all.
Did he even appear on Chapo at all after the premiere of Bad Faith?
Gonna be weird and listen to Tabletop Game Theory episodes when I go to sleep tonight
This is weird to hear now, i assumed Virgil left the show months ago. Especially after he wasn't mentioned at all in the 500 episode special.
Aww, hope he comes back!
I was hoping he’d come back every election to team up with Matt for Beltway Garage
There goes all their antinatalist representation...
Will I’m so sorry for the loss we share. It’s a profound loss for those who enjoy a fine master at his craft. Nevertheless we must persist. RIP Kentaro Miura. Berserk truly was the best of the best.
Kinda saw this coming, with how much time Bad Faith must take up for Virgil. Sad to see him go, but also extremely proud of him for getting such a vital new voice on the Left off the ground and running! The influence of Chapo spreads far and wide!
Aww man. Suspected as much, but still sorry to hear. Will start following his new stuff, he's a really brilliant guy
I can’t stop thinking about the scene in the carebear movie when they call the cousins and tell them everyone can help.
Sad to see this, Virgil’s humor and analysis were inimitable and such a perfect complement to the rest of the hosts. Wishful thinking, but I hope he can come back for beltway garage or another tabletop game theory, or as a guest like Brenden or whatever.
in all seriousness, Virgil is still interested in elections and I don't know if this show ever really will be again. I definitely miss his voice and energy but I don't know what he would want to add to the show as currently constructed/what the other collaborators expect from him.
Welcome back Virgil
Okay, but that's all dumb. Unless he's not gonna be dropping by occasionally, which like why wouldn't he, are y'all not friends anymore? Feels bad, his input was cool. Why can't dudes chill, you dudes should chill. More.
So no more Tabletop Game Theory?! Fuck.
Both great outlets things are building in a media sense that is stay interested
It’s been a long day without you my friend 🥺
Where is Amber? I miss Amber. Virgil is too busy with his mod duties on chapo.chat.
me too :(( i need more amber in my life !!
Sad, but unsurprising. Hope to see Virgil return as a guest in the future. Best of luck with Bad Faith.
Toodles.
Dante Oklahoma
Beltway Garage will return when America needs it the most
Man, this sucks. Obviously I wish him the best but he'll be sorely missed.
Cheers, Virgil. Good luck to you!
o7
why are we still here, just to suffer?
but fr i hope yall still do tabletop at some point, some of the best eps ever
Virgil always got to interview zizek .
Ó╭╮Ò
:/
Pour one out for the D. Va main He will be missed
Ugh, I was really hoping this wasn't permanent! Gonna miss, like...all the fun content? This is especially sad, since I think Bad Faith has really dropped off, and Virgil barely participates there, either. Sad to see.
wow the day finally came. hes been absent for quite a while and when he wasn't even present for the 500th episode I knew this was coming. still sad to see but I wish the boy the best !
My therapist says I need more stability in my life so I'm gonna have to make her write a prescription for Virgil to leave later bc I can't handle any more change at the moment. Maybe next year?
I think we all assumed this was the case, but glad to see it officially confirmed. Going to miss having Virgil on the show regularly. Even though Bad Faith Pod isn't really my thing, I hope it continues to be successful for him and Brie. Gonna go listen to some Tabletop Game Theory, those are among my favorite Chapo episodes.
When you consider his internship with that awful Carl Diggler fellow, Virgil has given us beyond four years of wonderful content. Go forth in the baddest of faith, absolute champion.
gone but not forgotten
Still enjoying the show, but I hope you pick up a new 5th mic. The different vibes from different combinations of hosts have always been part of the appeal for me
Do i still Email Virgil?
He has never been owned, but he will always be loved. Godspeed, Virgil Texas.
Virgil and Christman vs Isikoff is my favorite podcast moment of all time.
i hope he comes back to do some beltway garage in the future. good luck virgil and semper games
Gonna miss the DnD sessions..
It has always seemed to me like more than any of the other guys Virgil really wants to be taken "seriously", and I always figured he might be thinking of Chapo as a springboard to get the chance to do something "real". Let's see how that works out for him!
I have missed Virgil on the podcast but I've started including Bad Faith in my A-List podcast rotation and so it's all good. Best of luck to both shows!
Yes me too. More consistent Virgil content too!
Damn, Fs in chat for the Boi. Good luck with Bad Faith Virgil! I’m still emailing you when I have a complaint.
David
Say his name
:(
I cried 😭
As much as I like Virgil, he’s just kind of a less interesting mashup of Will and Matt.
He is obviously an alien and is nothing like Matt or Will.
Virgil gone... Noid back on commercials... Coincidence?
If Chapo was 80s boys band NEW EDITION, this would be like Johnny Gill goin solo first, lookitup young folks!
I think it's time to bring back that lady who was on the 'Brienne of Snark' episode.
He’s been on the show more than Amber over the past year. I wonder how that works in regards to pay. Like were they both effectively getting their usual cut despite being busy with other projects and rarely providing content for the show or were they on some kind of understood hiatus?
I’m sure compensation is distributed fairly, I don’t think we should worry about that.
who's virgil?
Sad to see, and I still like Virgil. Even so, I’m not listening to bad faith. I’m just gonna go listen to Matt ramble on twitch.
I miss Amber
that makes one of us
i think yall should take a cue from the last season of the eric andre show and have many different asian gamer nerds to be the Replacement Virgil of the week. prozd, arthur chu, andrew yang, it would be fun!
Chris for Chapo #5 2021
Don't be silly.
I love Virgil, I could listen to him read a phone book and be entertained. But Bad Faith is a bridge too far, even for me
Well that’s because it’s incredibly cringe and try too hard.
Writing was on the wall with Bad Faith. Good luck Virgil. May you pursue the RedBrown pipeline in greener pastures.
F
Umm. Okay ¿
Jk
Fucking finally
Farewell sweet prince, thank you for the game lore and the trips to the beltway garage. “Semper Games”
I hope that Virgil can come back to do a Midwest Garage every two years or so. We'll miss you Virgil! 😭
something something Melinda Gates etc.
where’s amber
Elliot. (And me, but obviously Elliot)
♥️
EMAIL HIM HARDER
peace out boss
i love him so much... he’ll be sorely missed 😭
I can't even remember the last episode he was on. No surprise.
I’ll miss him. Hope I can play Overwatch with him.
He's gonna hitch his wagon to Brihana Joy Gray good luck with that Virgil. Ben Dixon had some stuff to say about her so did Marcus Farrow. Too bad Virgil didn't talk to the black side of YouTube and political consulting.
What were they saying about BJG?
He's probably far to busy, but I want a monthly Roth spot.
Huge bummer but definitely saw this coming. Love to Virgil and to Chapo, hope it really was an amicable split and he can come back and vibe
Need him for more Call of Cthulhu episodes
Gonna miss that silky voice
Virgil is actually going to prison for taking part in the Jan 6 riot
RIP beltway garage. Also Virgil and felix doing that impressions battle during one of the live shows last year was top ten. Also where tf has amber been
Isn’t she off writing a book? I feel like she’ll be back.
Man that stinks. Hopefully he can come back as a guest sometime. Rip in piece sweet king 👑
One of the best cold opens ever was Virgil and Felix’s symposium on why you shouldn’t have kids
Episode #?
I mean he hasn’t been on an episode in like 3 months? I just assumed at this point
Understandable, but goddamn I hope he pops in. An absolute legend.
is this because Aimee Terese owned all you so hard
*cricket noises, tumbleweed bouncing around* yall hear somthin?
RIP Virgil
I'm so sad rn
No way this was amicable.
Genuinely interested in why you think that
Virgil was mostly a non entity but at least we can say the Elon Musk dnd episodes were top tier chapo
Sad to see him go. His chemistry with Felix was one of my favorite parts of the show
VIRGIL TEXAS THEY CALL HIM THE SNIPER JOKES SO HARD YOU MIGHT NEED A DIAPER
I will always remember Virgil as the man who gave me half of a yummy sandwich in Traverse City, MI. Sleep well, king.
Noooooooo
Godspeed to Mr Texas 🙏 He will be mist ❣️
“It’s been a longgg time without you, my friend...”
🎶Beltway gaaraaaa-aaaageeee 🎶😔😔😔
It's insane, the things that get posted in the patreon comments
🤣🤣 I'm astounded at the number of people who have serious beef with the show but can't stop payments.
Who will we email now??
RIP Virgil Texas, he died jerking off on the toilet like Antonin Scalia
Damn. He really went out like stan chera huh
Genuinely sad about this. Thanks for many good episodes with you all together.
Who should I e-mail with questions and concerns now?
Lmao no kidding. I’ll miss Virgil, and I hope things are amicable enough for him to come back for a guest spot every now and again. I just hope that amber will still be on staff after her book is done.
I get the feeling she's looking for her exit as well😞
Hate to see him go but I love to watch him walk away. RIP and good luck <3
He will be missed! Nothing but luck and the best of wishes. Sounds lame and corny to say but when he finally came back from his hiatus earlier this year I was genuinely so happy to have him back. A real one
Damn, loved his ramblings and Amber??/
I started listening to this show about a year ago. Who’s Amber? I don’t think they’ve ever had a guest on named Amber
Semper post
haha this sucks man
Say hi to new host JACOB WOHL, everybody. Hey Jake!
Holy fuck, Lathe of Heaven, make it happen!
I think we all figured
Would really love to know the real story behind this and why Matt was so angry. What were the bad stories he was trying to promote?
What was Matt angry at?? Where do people get these things?
Hopefully bad faith grows away from being BJGs “venting about Twitter” hour
I think she might be the reason the media wasn't too nice to Bernie
😭😭😭😭😭
Gotta Force The Vote!
I demand someone take up the role of calling people dumdums
Bummer
Damn dude, Virgil had some of the funniest out of nowhere jokes. He and his ability to take all my emailed show complaints will be missed.
Remember Virgil from WWF? Ted DiBiase's bodyguard? Hire that guy
I'm not glad that he's dead but I'm glad that he's gone.
Amber, or you dead or just drunk?
Yoooo Brie gonna ruin that man's career. Come do some lines with Felix and reconsider my guy
For real, she’s a wild card
'People voted against a political and media class and all the people covering their asses cannot reckon how much they are loathed.' --- all time quote from Virgil. Best of luck 👍
He'll be like Brendan, who comes on for special episodes
Feel like pure shit just want him back x
Is this Russian disinfo? This has all the signs of a Lev Parnas.
What’s a lev parnas?
Virgil has been gulaged for revisionist bourgeois electoralism.
did Amber get tired of babysitting the "boys"
Does amber have a Twitter?
f
we shall miss his nuanced views on water.
Can we at least get one last hurrah
Uhh yeah lol we know
Very funny guy and the table top stuff was great. Shame he’s moved to an even more lib podcast where he can’t make as many good jokes.
End of an era, and a tragic one, but it's good he's got his own gig he's enjoying and killing it at. Now who will we send all our complaints to?
u dont. not anymore. u log off, and fucking grill for once
I figured as much, he hasn’t been on in forever. I like Bad Faith too
F
Does this mean we can't email him if we have a problem with the show? Who do we email now???
this is an important issue.
F
F
I’m gay and it will make the news
Felix better get a raise you know all of Virgil's shifts are going to him.
No more beltway garage 😞
That actually makes me really sad
F
RIP to a real one
Will miss him on this show, his contrast with the other hosts and insight into mainstream politics was excellent. A great co-host.
Have 3 different drinks at the same time in his honor
who do i email my complaints to now?
Brendan
No more table top game theory?
If I had to guess, they’ll bring in Branson from E1 or something if they feel like doing more TTGT, which I hope they do because all of the E1 D&D episodes are good
Virgil's commentary has long been very technical and electoral. With the direction the show has gone, it's not surprising to see him slowly work his way out. We will always love Virgil, it's been a great run!
Great point. His thing always seemed to be focused on elections which was cool. I hope he gets back into that given the inconsistent quality of Bad Faith which has pushed some bizarre ideas like FTV as if it’s October 1917. I really enjoyed his electoral analysis with Sam Seder.
Semper Games comrade
farewell to Virgile
You don’t need to be drama queens about it
Are they being?
Now who is Baby?
They were all Baby. Always.
Hope you will all be guests on Bad Faith sometime soon!!!
Don't lie, we know he moved to Berlin to listen to derfunkiebeatz
Sean
Yeah what?
No more game theory 🥲
I have to say I'm completely blindsided by this.
Semper games
I, too, really miss tabletop game theory.
Press F
Can I be his replacement
RIP Virgil
Bye Felicia
This is lame. Now I can only hear him with annoying ass Bri.
Wait, Amber is still on the show?? Damn, miss her 🥲
in 5 minutes they release an alt presser where amber and Virgil's names are swapped
Does this mean amber will be on the show some day
Nothing but love, respect and support for Virgil ❤️
“Virgil go on Chapo”
I swear to God, this better not be the end of the Tabletop Gaming Series.
virgil can go wonk himself all he wants in his new pod, just pls come back to be DM again soon
Landslide slipping away
:(
love u virgil
the death of chapo electoralism
I loved Chapo before and I love it now, but the vibe definitely changed after Bernie was out again in 2020. Before that, national-level electoralism was still an earnest/hopeful topic on the show, and now it's not. Matt especially has made his thinking on that clear, but I respect and appreciate that Virgil still feels those convos are worth having even now (which is why Bad Faith is often a nice listen imo)
Listening to “Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers” by Jeff Beck group in case it IS true though.
semper games
Seent this coming
Sad to see him go but glad y’all are still friends, hope we can see him back as a guest at some point in the future
Wish him the best
I knew it was coming, but I am still sad to hear it. Thank you Virgil, I wish you the best ❤️
Farewell, king
Hopefully hes working on bringing back the DigCast
I hope he comes back to visit occasionally, like Brendan does.
I hope so too. We are at each other's throats enough on the left, no ill will to Virgil. Nothing but love on my end but I miss him dearly on chapo.
this is like the most hilarious timing to announce it
Why?
Semper games
Devastating.... I really wish he makes more of those table top games. My heart is a bit broken. Those were some of the earliest things I had seen.
Aw that sux... I hope Virgil good luck on his future endeavors, he was a pleasure to listen to
Who’s Chris
producer
Can’t wait to see some asshole tweet “virgil go on chapo!”
Hes fired
What
bye the book
I knew this before you guys because he told me after I had sex with him
nice how was the bussy
Amber is still on the show?
i think shes writing a book, so shes busy
Much love. I'll hear him and Brihana in my ears every week
Gonna miss you Virgil, you have a strong future ahead of you !
What's Matt's email address? Show complaints have to go somewhere now.
God speed!
This is some virgin shit
I wouldn’t count him out JUST yet, my friend!
Good night sweet prince.
What about diggler though?
Indirect confirmation that Amber is still on the show, she's the one I'd miss more. All the best to Virgil striking out on his own. I'm sure Alexis is very proud.
Yeah amber was just on seeking derangements talking about how she feels disconnected from the show cause she’s not that online. I hope she sticks with it and continues that labor beat that she’s known for. She’s my favorite dirtbag.
Merry games-mas. Why address this so long after the fact though. It seems odd. Some inside baseball.
Wait, Amber is still on Chapo?
Yeah I think she's probably doing 'I got a book coming out in 5 months' stuff. Looking forward to reading it
who am i gonna email now?
Bye bye!
Still holding out hope for more tabletop episodes.
thanks for letting me know
Damn good luck Virgil, hopefully he comes back for an occasional tune-up in the beltway garage
Damn, good luck Virgil! Gonna miss you!
Nooooo
Is that you Ken
Good luck to Virgil
Good luck, Virgil!
He still worked here?
Who do we email now?

It was an honor o7
Gonna miss him. Bad faith is trash
I have no interest in a panel show
Who do I send my emails to now?
You can still send them to virgil
Semper Games 😢
Cheers to the gang, good luck to Virgil in all his endeavors
Wishing him the best. 🖤
