714 - McNally Jackin’ (3/13/23)
We’ve got the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, saber rattling over a war against Mexican cartels, plus we meet a delightful new character out of the great state of Tennessee, wish a bittersweet farewell to an old friend, and FINALLY take those damn smoke detectors down a peg or two. All that and a side of meat salad in today’s ep.

Goddamn, Jane Fonda is zo fucking based
Having dumbass hillbillies being killed by cartels operators is the goal; dead white faces on the scree.
Are you Going to talk about the Marianne Williamson run?
heyyy
Isn't a war with the cartels the plot of the most recent Call of Duty?
The next most evil thing after Kevin Spacey? Makes sense
0% interest rates are just neoliberal socialism .. a fix for the fact that a company can make a bunch of money and employ/insure a bunch of people but not quite break even/profit so the govt tops em off
auto and mortgage rates were like the lowest ever for a decade. not to be cheering too hard for crapitalism but the consumer did benefit from zirp that's the whole point.
I worked with a woman just in her thirties who hated Jane Fonda because her dad said she got our soldiers killed somehow, couldn't get any more specific of course, but absolutely convinced. Also thought cars from the 50s were safer because they were bigger.
I love how structural Felix’s memory of the vet bringing his dog to the gym is to his worldview.
You guys are funny you should consider doing a podcast
One of my wife’s coworkers, who makes like 80,000 a year, didn’t get her paycheck because of Silicon Valley Bank closing. My wife works at a supplement corporation. Not like Herbalife lol. She’s not Mikey miles. It’s like a legit vitamin manufacturing company. But one of her coworkers does contracting work outside of the company and, the tech company that pays her couldn’t send her paycheck because their money was tied up in SVB. So I think most of the people getting screwed over by the bank closing or probably people we don’t know or hear about. But of course, they will be made whole long after the people responsible will be.
Rod may you spend your retirement making young Hungarian men extremely uncomfortable.
In Rand McNally they wear hats on their feet and ass eats you.
wills lindsey graham impression is tops 👌🏼👍🏼
Do they actually talk about the guy in picture?
That is Randy McNally
I can not stop laughing at "JSON Peterson"
The hero of last week is the VC who was in the chat saying "withdraw your money from SVB". He does it -- withdraws his personal savings and funds from business accounts. This genius has a second thought: "hey, despite the fact there is a bank run going on right now, I know the CEO of SVB, he's a great guy, the stock looks cheap". So he transfers the money to brokerage accounts Thursday, and buys SVB stock. Unlike the depositors who are getting bailed out, he's now in the position of a shareholder, meaning he is likely getting completely wiped out (he didn't specify how much, but indicates its at least a portion of funds). He tweeted about this on Saturday, which is another layer of genius.
A few months ago my 7 year old daughter and I were having a sleepover and the smoke alarm malfunctioned at about 2am due to a low battery. It's one of these newer ones that screams "fire detected!!!!!". She freaked. It took me quite awhile to prove to her there was no fire. Glad I was sleeping with her at least....
Felix reminding me of Timmy thick was something I could have never seen coming
Ya heard about "Too Big to Fail". Get ready for "Too Woke to Choke".
Please post a Rod Compilation or something
need more chapo world baseball classic content
🐐 CLAYNECAST MENTIONED 🐐
Ren and Stimpy warped my young mind but probably paved the way for Sarah Squirm. So, a wash.
Actually true for Barbarella as well.
Anyone remember the USS Maine explosion and how it was used as a false flag pretext against Spanish Cuba to galvanize the Spanish American War, all under the mantra of Manifest Destiny? Also remember when many of these same senators (they are ancient) help capitulate the US/Iran/Contra affair? Remember the ATF Gunwalking Scandal? Hmm, this "Let's invade Mexico over the cartels" sounds pretty damn familiar and it seems if anyone is to blame here it's a classic example of "who smelt it, delt it".
This is why Ted Cruz has been going to freakin' Cancun so much.
you guys should get Cory Doctorow on. I like the cut of his jib
I'm beginning to think this Rod Dreher fellow might be secretly homosexual!
i’m here to help any chapo aficionado with their cardio needs, the keys is to try less hard and do it for more time. eat less and move more to reduce your mass friendos
Sorry Will for Rod getting cutoff. I know his articles meant a lot to you. I will contribute if the chapo community wants to commission rod for more articles
Didn't know Felix hurt his foot, not at all surprised it was because of a smoke alarm. I fell off a chair trying to shut one up at 3am once. Glad to hear him sounding better though.
i hope jane fonda hears this <3
Rod Dreher: The Fourth Meich
yo its skrrt vonnegut
There's definitely a limit to how much pointing out hypocrisy actually matters, and yeah, I'm trying not to get too worked up over the insanely flagrant hypocrisy of these tech bros whining for a bailout (and getting one, no matter what the Biden administration) while opposing regulations and student loan forgiveness, but I am seeing more varieties of people noticing something isn't right here, not just leftists. Maybe the fact that we don't let wealthy people lose their money is one of the few truths and principles that this country upholds is starting to seem like an issue to some.
Tech bro brain is the result of rich people always getting bailed out. It is in itself a kind of social and societal cancer.
Bravo to the chapos for not changing any of their positions on Russia and Ukraine since the basic bullshit they vomited feb 22.
What was on Feb 22
Felix firing on all cylinders this ep reminds me why I signed up in the first place
Viktor Orban! Hold me tighter! I think I’m sinking down. And I’m all strung out on ThielBucks, On the outskirts of town.
Armenian army is good, but I also think they’re like one of the the only armies with a like, genuine cause they care about that they’re fighting lmao
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kurdistan is also heavily related in that too. It's more of a political epicenter than most realize.
Rod go on Seeking Derangements
Rod and Randy McNally roundtable, LFG
Based epic right-wingers want to think they're red-pilled by their dream lifestyle is the deal that Cypher was proposing to Neo to remain blue pilled. "Oooo I want to eat 2 kilograms of fresh meat every day and not spend an hour on the toilet bowl" okay fine. get back in the pod and jack in the brain trodes
Rod Dreher is in his Rickety Cricket era
Matt tricks Rod into coming onto the show by promising him a plate of oysters
i saw that dick milking clip and i had psychosomatic balls ache. if you jack off to this, congrats, that's almost impressive
Thank you
Englert theatre, Iowa City baby! Disappointed I wasn’t a listener at the time, sounds like it was a great show with a complimentary fire drill
Please please please ask Jane Fonda to go one the show
She has PAVN mindset
Every army in the world is dog shit. Its literally a make work program.
my house did burn down as a child, and I noticed the smoke and fire and told my parents before the smoke alarm ever went off 👀
One of Justin Roiland’s last appearances was voiceover for “Half in the Bag”, and he must of known the hammer was coming down and wanted to get one more credit before his name became a disgrace.
E V E R Y B O D Y B E C O M E S A F I R E F I G H T E R
C'mon, how effective was Rod in his evil? Like you said, he was Evil's court jester, the guy the Babylon Bee wants to be. He was really just some kid in his mom's basement but with some weird sugar daddy. Plus I need to listen to you guys reading a Rod column when I'm on edibles. You have no idea how funny he is while high.
Unfortunately I can report that they are DEFINITELY building the border wall. South Texas next month.
Will on making sure the US/MEX border is wheelchair accessible for Abbott … Lmao
WSJ’s opinion page really is an untapped well of absolutely insane takes.
Chapo boys. Do you think DWS owned Taibbi? Haven’t heard you guys really get into any of that. I’m sure you think it’s cringe right wing to talk about but would love to hear your opinion on those hearings.
Taibbi’s was always was a blowhard clout chaser. He deserves no airtime- no issue with him getting fed to the dogs in congress.
Hell yes, Matt. Mettbrötchen are great and you can still get them in the fatherland
Felix is so back. Happy that he’s feeling better
Nature doc: This lion hasn't eaten in 3 days.Will she get this giraffe? Nope, oh well, better luck next time Pampered nerds: damn, that's based meat only kings
Felix opening the episode with some good riffs off the bat, are we back??
Doc Brown: "We're back."
damn, Mcnally knows Devon the selfie slut?
“Armies are bad” nah, our expectations of what war is like are not correct
I mean, I think that's true, but it's also just been a very long time without a major conflict between two fully mobilized modern militaries like we're seeing in Ukraine. For instance, people have theorized for decades that cheap, light, highly effective infantry missile systems and highly accurate artillery had essentially made tanks obsolete, but they still did well enough in imperial brushfire wars and proxy conflicts to keep getting made. Tank losses by both sides in Ukraine would seem to suggest this might be true. There's almost certainly more cases where militaries simply don't know what the gaps between doctrine, technology and practical application are yet.
speaking of Peter Thiel, the Nazis thought young blood healed their troops faster and a lot of russian children were bled dry on that bullshit.
Christman did hit on something I've been seething about for a while, which is the resentment politics that drags first responders into arguments over fast food workers. "Burger flippers making more money than EMTs???? That's bullshit!!! make them work for less!" Not one word about how fucking bullshit private ambulance services are. nationalize AMR and go from there.
we get this in the UK too. a fairly prominent doctor who campaigns against the govt. wrecking of the NHS etc. made her point about how badly paid junior doctors are by comparing them to barista's wages. so unhelpful!
Glad to hear felix more lucid, hope he is doing well!
yeah feels much better to listen to.
Oh yeh, I love the 'people weren't eating vegetables 10'000 years ago' - no, people were eating fricking dandelion roots and grinding up goddamn grass seeds and making cakes out of pounded pond reeds. Because we hadn't domesticated most vegetables yet. You show a caveman a carrot, or like a 4 pound potato and they'd go nuts for it! It took about 5000 years to domesticate corn.
Lmao this dude loves corn
Love that these libertarian assholes toss aside their copy of the road to serfdom the minute their wealth is at risk
Finally, a famous McNally. Makes me proud of the name.
Great publishing company too
Why does every silicon valley startup idea sound like a Mr. Show sketch? There has to be a better way!
We are a COMMUNITY BANK. We just happen to be in MANY high net worth communities. Now can we have our bank socialism please? We will engage in no more gay repurchase agreements and bi sweep accounts.
As a Hornets fan... I second that the owner has to play. MJ does too.
Kevin McCarthy talking about “woke banks” just like the complete dipshit that we all know him to be. That guy needs to bounce his head off the floor like Mitch McConnell.
Good ep
Vince McMahon and his family literally did what Will suggested for over 20 years.
Looking at this description you KNOW it’s gonna be a good episode
They want to invade Mexico on the job site. It's not good, these people love this news cycle hype shit
Love thinking about a peacekeeping mission into El Norte immediately turning into a fully kinetic intra-natsec drug war between Arlington and Langley.
the slop is particularly scrumptious today
Love and hate are two sides of the same coin
don't be the shadow of your master be the master of your shadow sun tzu machiavelli hell yeah
My wife’s family is from Sheboygan and they have a raw plate of piggly wiggly ground beef out every Christmas. Should I tell them it’s sus? Or not be the gay Chicago boy?
If you're married they already know and axcept you as gay.
People are out here making sous vide steaks without searing the shit afterwards?
Cast iron w/ butter or gtfo.
Love when my loser friends who live in my phone are having fun
Great episode... now that he's in need of an income stream, RD could consider setting up his own (man) milking plant, he could get JP to partner.
My very first chapo episode was Rod's musings about his friend's wife being possesed and not having a crisis because she went to mass everyday and grinding the trad. It was fascinating and we never got an update, probably never will. All those posts will be lost but his fruityness will be in our hearts. Good night, sweet prince.
There was an update to that story in some live show
Xing xing monkey <3
CHRIS TELL WILL TO TURN THE FUCKING MIC BOOST *OFF*
Audiophile, the second worst type of -phile
