746 - Gordian, Not! (7/4/23)

Song at the end?

Wait, did Will buy the bar a round because he LOST a shake-a-day?! Will, you’re supposed to buy a round when you WIN! Because everyone’s a winner when you’re a winner

Will getting midwest pilled? We love to see it.

MSNBC was on in the background and Chris Hayes also made the comparison that DeSantis was this election's Ted Cruz and used the Omar line "you come at the king best not miss." Someone was listening to the other.

❤️ the North Woods

This was my newborn baby's (born last Sunday) first Chapo.

What was the Felix AA “sober for 3 months” “hate me today” song reference?

"Yet" jfc matt lol

i wish chapo did one more show a week

winner of elon zucc fights bagel boss

affirmative action was just bad policy seemed to only be favored by elitist libs

I was in Lakeville the 3rd and 4th. Felt good man.

the fact that they also loginwalled the entire site is underdiscussed, it just completely destroy the usability of the platform as a public communication device

One of their BEST! The Musk/Zuck shit had me doubled over laughing- had to listen to this episode 2ce.

Streets of Rage! Finally a Chapo crossover

Speaking of the most grifty Trump people who have jumped ship - Bill Mitchell II: DeSantis Edition dropped

Hunter has kind of a Sonny Crockett bod, which I didn't know they still made

Did the opening theme sound slightly pitched down to anyone else or am I breathing that good air rn?

Felix forgetting late former mayor of Toronto Rob Ford's crack video

Funny, the subreddit is up in arms over this episode because of the boys’ tepid take on student loan debt and college. I do wish they had a bit more to say about it other than “no one should go to college”. The institution is fucked, but I do think there is value in higher education.

Smoking crack is whatever. Doing 170 on public roads is bad. But driving a 911 is just gross.

Vir-JIN-al never change, Will

I love hearing about how relaxing Will’s life is!!!

"33 is the correct age to die" Amen. Ready to end it all.

Mmmmm slop

Dawg i can’t believe I’m hearing Karelin vs Rulon Gardner discourse rn I’m actually smiling in public.

God, Zuck k***ing musk in the ring would be the most blessed timeline

Will’s vacation sounds like a Robert Altman movie

Would love an addendum from Felix and Jon Bois on fighting and the age of loneliness. As a former hardcore fan who’s fallen out of love with the sport for the reasons Outlined in the final installment plus the politics, I’d love to see Felix’s analysis as the sport has changed a lot in the last 5 years

abollege college

Felix saying that MMA used to be for antisocial freaks who have a complete set of real historical japanese blades in a tatami room in their apartments is just describing Baki. They should have the complete Baki The Grappler manga and its sequels in every MMA gym and it should be mandatory to learn it by heart, the trainer should ask "Who was the first opponent to Speck and what was the outcome of the fight" and the aspirant should know it instantly. Only then, after you have proven your commitment to creepy muscular boys being creepy muscular boys, you can actually start MMA training and that should filter all the IG and TikTok posers who want to impress women.

Wasn’t the Biden crack driving in his book?

Anyone know where to buy drugs in San Diego

Gorsuch anonymously put the Sopranos Ojibwe saying up in the Supreme Court break room 5 years ago and as planned it's driving them all insane.

I heard on 5-4 one thing the Biden admin could have done was fast-track remove the debt in the actual system, i.e. wipe it off people's accounts rather than announce the program and wait for permission. Then it would have a different, much harder case to put the debt back. But they just aren't playing to win.

Embrace boat life just don't own a boat

Wonder where in the WI Northwoods, I used to live in Ashland/by Bayfield

I still can’t believe that DeSantis War Room Ad was real

Wait is the gay wedding website company actually not even real? I thought they just didn’t do website design for weddings in general - which is essentially the same thing as far as the case is concerned

so glad I've been too overworked to have learned of the existence of "bluesky"

Would a bisexual raekwon also be built for cuban twinks?

people are diffusing into other platforms/protocols based on their interests. bluesky is for the twitter 'in crowd' and their lapdogs, mastodon is for the general normies, nostr is for techies/conspiracy mongers, threads will probably be for the clout chasers and influencer types. we dont all belong in the same place so i think this is fine.

im so sick of these crusty university deans

Todd Howard went on Lex Fridman. Josh Sawyer went on Chapo. Another W for Obsidian.

Hell yeah ring the dinner bell for lawyers too bad I’m not that type of lawyer.

I forgot how awful that song was

we need a scientific study of what dating Grimes did to him

Who do I see for a Twitter scrape job? Freddy Otash

Enjoy our wonderful state of Wisconsin, Will. Do some pull tabs, grab a spotted cow and a bag of Buffalo cheese curds, and enjoy the lakes and mountains in the north! :)

There is so much funny material you all could mine about Lex.

"American Gut" is an apt term for what the deal is with Elon's torso but, him being him, I think it's mostly neither subcutaneous fat nor visceral fat but a third, weirder thing

LOL Jaziya Tax <==> Jadziya Dax

The boys are bringing back raw water??

Fun story: I knew Pedro Gonzalez when we were in our 20s. He lived in my hometown and hung out with a lot of my old high school friends post graduation. We used to talk a lot about politics in 2016. Back then he was completely new to politics but had just started on a Bernie-to-nihilist-to-alt-right sort of track, and I was a standard I’m With Her liberal who thought I knew everything and was probably incredibly annoying to argue with. I was just reading through hours of Facebook DMs we have together which feel like the most 2016 conversations on earth. Anyway, he deleted his Facebook and moved away shortly after changing his avi to Pepe and we lost touch in like 2017. I didn’t know what happened to him until last week when suddenly he was headline news and I was like “this guy works for Ron DeSantis, has been on Tucker 20+ times, and has Glen Greenwald defending his integrity?!” Literally the antisemitic shitposting was the only part about the story that *wasn’t* surprising, because he was very obviously heading for an edge lord phase after the election. But the speed at which he went from “random dude thinking about politics for the first time” to “rising star in the conservative moment” is wild.

Hearing Matt repeat Felix and Will’s mispronunciations under his breath makes me laugh every time

Poopy pants

I did just watch Oliver Stone's Alexander with my dad for the holiday. Sad lack of knots.

FUCK THE BRITISH FUCK THE BRITISH FUCK THE BRITISH FUCK THE BRITISH FUCK THE BRITISH USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

Them doing away with gerrymandering in certain states won't do shit if the Democratic party within it is full of feckless losers happy to still let Republicans steamroll all over them like Louisiana

A Supreme Court decision with no standing? Who even gives a shit anymore. If Kagan wanted to be scathing, why not just show up to every foregone conclusion dressed for casual Friday?

Late night slop

legit enjoying the sub-60 min duration for episodes

Like this if you know the name grabmybuttstick

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE #1 SHITHOLE COUNTRY 🦅🇺🇸🎆🗽

Nice
