781 - Goon Dad (11/13/23)
Will, Felix and Amber pick up a few stories we missed last week, including Tim Scott girlfriend reveal (and campaign end), and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s father/son porn monitoring. We then look at a litany of increasingly absurd bungles and PR disasters from the Israeli government, all from just the last week.

The Biden bill to make more Makeout Points is called Bare Back Better

Amber 💕
Love Amber
Bring back amber
James Hong check at 23:12
It's so good to have amber back
Amber needs to come back full time
Amber
Great to hear Amber again
Amber is into some weird shit. I mean, I am too, but I don't say it publicly
We love our Amber, don't we, folks?
No the animated porn is millennial shit do not try to push that off on us you patchy bearded freak.
I don't know if she means the 3D animation stuff or hentai. Not that I'm going to defend hentai but the 3D animation stuff is definitely weeeeeeeird.
Will Dirtbag get a UK audible/print release? Struggling to find info outside of American outlets
Will repeatedly saying Isaac Chotiner's name like it rhymes with "monitor" is a new all-timer Chapo pronunciation moment
Chonatierre
We love Amber
Yay Amber! You rock
Amber
Pre-ordered the book on audible! I intend to get higher than a giraffe’s ass while listening 👍
Amber is funny and smart and has a moral compass. It was good to hear her again.
I'm a subscriber (smug)
Please make Amber at least a semi regular host again. She gels so well with the guys and brings it to another level.
AMBERS BACK LETS GOOOOOOO
Great to hear Amber again.
AMBER. Also pick up AMBER's audiobook read by AMBER on Audible next month!
professor tox….. i haven’t heard that name in a long time……….
always great to have amber on to appeal to the girls and gays
Amber was always my favorite, great to hear her on an episode again.
This made me miss Amber and reminds me how well she can lead and participate in a convo
I’ve always liked amber
Is Amber going to go on a book tour?
Amber
the reason they have to bring up Waze is that every other Israeli startup is like "the company that sells the NSA the software they use to categorize twitter posts by political valence" and "the company trying to weld a AR15 onto a Mavik drone"
Amber was my favorite chapo for years when she was on. Glad to hear her back as a guest. Hope it happens again
If you want Chappo patreons to buy your book release every other chapter for free. Also come on the show again
Let’s fucking go Amber!!!
i am always happy when amber is around.
Midwestern person here, you guys have always been unfair to pizza ranch
This is the book about coal miners??? Love you Amber
Amber come back!
So glad you're having Felix on again after the allegations that he never got Ahead of the Curve achieve without carry
Hell yeah Amber ep ruled, more of this!
Hmmmmmm hmmmmmm sssllloooopppp😍
Great to hear Amber again!!
amber!
My favorite chapos was always a toss up between Matt, Amber, and Will. No hate for Felix just tend to like them the most. Real nice to hear her on again.
The return of Amber! Missed her sass. Great ep guys
Amber is my favorite host
We love amber and want more not less
Glad to see Amber make a return, I know the community has historically treated her horribly, but her insights are excellent.
Wonderful, it's through McMillan, I'll be sure that my library orders a copy.
Glad to have Amber back, even though she hates the fans and thinks we hate her lol. Looking forward to the book, also hope she guests on TAFS.
Gianna michaels mentioned🙌🙌
Amber 👍👍
would it be possible to get the This is Sus 2020 episodes on the Patreon ?
Amber
Israelis when you let them do their own propaganda: “Heartbreaking! This Woman Was Too Late In Retrieving Her Dead IDF Husband’s Cum To Make More White Babies!”
Israel propaganda is that stupid because Israel's defenders as re THAT stupid. They literally believe anything that government tells them.
I‘m so happy amber was on again. Really missed her input.
Good episode and I love the chapos, but at the beginning I just don’t get this point they always bring up “college bad” when they literally all went to college. I mean sure there’s some entrenched ideology that colleges funnel into students but to condemn it all seems silly. I guess what they mean behind it is that there should be drastic changes of some sort, idk. But as someone going to PA school… yes college is important and should be protected
I really don't know what to say to those who look at the price of tuition and think that is not a scam. My roommate's Organic Chemistry text book is $800, but if you sign up for the school bookstore credit card, they take off 40% and let you pay the rest in installments. Sure, e-books would resolve most of this, but most academic departments don't allow it without a monthly sub. And if you complain about it too much some profs will put you on a list of suspected plagiarism and you'll be lucky to get a C. This is the kind of shit that started the Taiping Rebellion
Let’s Go Amber
lol at Amber’s “Biden infrastructure bill to make more make-out points”
Whoa guys cool it with the chapo trap house.
Amber come back for good we missed you
More Amber 💯
Amber really just slid in like she never left 🐐
<3 Amber
Amber has always been liked and think she's an important voice.
The porn app thing is so funny because as hardcore Christians they believe God is always watching and that isn't enough , kind of blasphemous
I’m pretty sure Protestants like it when god is watching. Catholics like it to, but only because of the shame kink…
Great to hear from Amber!
Amber love forever
Feel that all the Israel propaganda is just throwing up chaff to get another day. Everyday that the ethics cleansing goes on is a day closer they get to their goal of no Palestines in Israel. So say whatever to who ever keep people talking and arguing about anything the only thing that is forbidden is talk of an end to the war.
So good to have Amber back, I haven't laughed this much at an ep since the good old days when we were all making fun of Rand Paul getting his ass beat over yard waste and my parents were still alive.
The Hamas guys leaning to say “Take Off Your Pants” were just huge Blink 182 heads.
Do you have links to those articles
Amber you were never our least favorite. It was always Will.
I’m the guy who doesn’t like Amber. It’s all on me
Yo this is the chick that used to serve coffee on cumtown
All Amber's haters don't listen to the show anymore they're dnc shills
Nah they lie in stasis for the "day"
Lmao had to comment just to acknowledge the Rae Lil Black ref
Who the hell doesn’t love Amber?? Straight to the gulag w those fucks.
Amber A’Lee Frost was right!
I hope Amber stays on as a regular
More Amber needed!
I miss Amber, honestly. Always unfairly hated on IMO.
What about he who shall not be named?
Amber brings juice 2 the show. Great to have her back!
MOAR GURL
Always knew Amber would poison Matt to get back on the podcast.
yooo amber on the pod let's gooooo
I need to know the context for Norman Finkelstein talking about gooning
I just heard the clip and was fucking DYING.
These attacks on waze users needs to stop or I’ll upload a Felix voice pack
Amper
BTA back in the house!
Like the idea of Fentanyl rockets. only the guys with the most massive opiate tolerances of all time survive and become super soldiers. I’d would’ve been a great fentanyl immune soldier, they can’t overdose me no matter how many rockets they hit me with
amber deserves a medal for getting rid of that early period zionist jacques
Is Jacques from Seeking Derangements a zionist?
A delight to have amber back tbh
Amper
Amber A’Lee Frost go on chapo
Amber ❤️
Great to hear Amber again!
the home girl alyssa just was killed on an LA highway .. rip
Welcome back Amber! Go on Chapo more often!
Amber's book sounds pretty cool but I'm still on the fence. She might need to come on the pod few more times to help sell me on it
Amber is objectively not the worst Chapo host given... well you know
That’s right. No one will ever be worse than the treacherous Brendan James. 🤠
Amber you are NOT the least favorite I miss you so much! ❤️
guess ill be redirecting my patreon funds to the war nerd
I ❤️ Amber!!!!
So good to have Amber back
We love you Amber! Please come back for more episodes
Always fun to hear the Chapos tell on themselves with their porn preferences while they’re “joking around”
WE LOVE YOU AMBER
Great to hear Amber again.
Let's fucking gooo Amber
Listen the thing you have to know about John Rambo is that while he is developmentally disabled he will fundamentally change your town...
Does Amber get patreon money? This is of extreme concern to me
Is amber a Nazi like all of her friends?
So great hearing Amber again, and glad she hasn’t Post-Left’d herself into thinking talking about the Gaza situation is cringe or whatever.
It’s called code switching
amber shouting professortox <3
losing my mind at Normal Finkelstein explaining gooning
I was just thinking “was that Norm Finkelstein?” 😂😂
Professor Tox name drop is crazyyyy 😭
Oh fuck I just started the pod and heard Amber's voice. Is everyone ok? No one's hurt right? Are American women are still allowed to vote/own property? Amber used to be my favorite but now she's only been on after something horrible happens
Oh nevermind she's just selling a book. Thank God
So happy to hear Amber it feels like ages, def gonna buy the audiobook when it comes out
I've always appreciated Amber's role as the voice of feminine reason and wisdom on the podcast. Sometimes she's wrong, but it's for the right reasons. And remember, she was the one who spared us the Chapo metoo episode. I'll always be glad to hear her dropping in on the pod. She should go on the Adam Friedland Show too
Am I imagining it, or did the ep have a sound drop of Norman Finkelstein giving the definition of gooning? Lol
We love Amber, don't we folks?
I think she has had some haters in comments but I believe Chappos silent majority are pro Amber
Hopefully everyone is doing well!
Amber ❤️❤️❤️
Always good to hear from Amber
This is why Amber is so missed. She doesn't treat all Looney Tunes as one homogeneous mass; you've got your Chuck Jones, your Bob Clampett, your Frank Tashlin, and your Tex Avery. You have all these people.
The best PR move for anyone opposed to the IDF is to keep putting microphones in front of any Israeli official. They all sound like Philly cops discussing the MOVE members that they just killed. "Well, you say people died but these weren't people, they were MOVE members".
Don’t worry, Virgile was the least favorite of the Chapo gang
Amber!
Rather than workshop the Israeli PR strategy, I really wish the show would have taken the opportunity with Amber coming on to more fully address Bernie’s shameful and repugnant position on the situation. I get that it’s embarrassing to have the guy you relentlessly beat the drum for in two presidential races end up condoning genocide, but I think that puts you in the position of actually needing to say something about it. Will obviously continue listening/subbing bc I love my slop, but hope this gets more airtime at some point.
Gonna be honest, I don't know how productive just focusing on Bernie being a fuck up right now is lmao, outside of being personally invested in him specifically. Felix has been plenty vocal on Twitter about his response too.
Amber.
Amber
More amber plz
Amber.
We missed you Amber!
Amber RULES. more Amber plz
System of a Goon
the israelis aren't just eating shit PR-wise, there's a photo of probably 5 or 6 abandoned tracked vehicles clogging a Gaza street. LEARN 2 PARK RE: The 'spark of humanity of the Nazis' thing: the Germans were at best ambivalent about the Holocaust until Israel demanded reparations for it, and only after that did Germans start wrestling with this guilt they didn't feel before. I'm guessing the morons running IDF PR just let all their memories of dramatic european war movies blur into one film in their heads.
Good to hear amber again! And just for the record, as somebody who teaches grades 6-8 in my experience they still call each other gay and r worded exactly as much as we did Lol
Hype for Amber hype for book
I'm so fucked up about Tim Scott
Hope Amber also returns to review The Marvels
"Possibly the least favorite one" well at least she's aware
hi amber anyways getting a kick out of th idea of Mike Johnson screaming for his son's help as the midsection of his pants start glowing red
Amber??
I like amber again after that intro
The most succinct description of the Strange Thing About the Johnsons was Stav calling it, "The story of a man taking a series of Ls"
bring her back full time and change the show to "Amber Trap House"
Amber is back! My least fave host is decidedly Vergil. Good riddance. Love amber top 4 hosts for sure.
AMBER’S BACK!!!!!
Was that Norm Finkelstein defining gooning?
We learn so very much from dear Norm
16:30 Amber is not even back 20 minutes and she is already making enemies
Is that Norman finkelstein defining gooning at 19:55????
Missed that voice. More Amber is always a good thing.
amber!!
Amber! Hope this isn't a one-off now that she's off that effing nerd publishing shit.
Josh Duggar’s wife had the Covenant Eyes software after he got caught with child porn the first time and still had it when he was downloading CP at the car dealership he worked at lmao
we are joined by special guest author Amber Frost
I am so thrilled that Amber is back! She was always great. I don't understand the people who make her feel like the 'least favorite' host...
Amber is back!!!!! I’m so happy
The news up top is Tim Scott’s dating reveal and mutually monitored gooning prevention apps and you don’t call the ep The Girlfriend Experience?
There are people who don't like Amber?
Such a nice surprise to have Amber back
Amber
Twitter accounts we need: Hasbara Fails. Because we need to laugh at the spawn of the Israeli Twitter account.
Truly hot take, but other than Chris Amber is the only person whose rhetorical analysis fills the matt niche for me.
Mike Johnson strikes me as the kinda guy who watches Alot of trans porn.
Doug Murray is an unhinged racist Brit who writes for crap papers like the Daily Mail. He is utter scum, unsurprised that he's giving a little hat tip to Germans (they're at least white) while saying all Palestinians are subhuman "Nazis."
Amber
Guybrush
Amber
Stoned literature is my favorite. Anxiously awaiting Hunter's memoirs. (Biden, not Thompson)
More Amber! Least favorite only because she's a woman, which isn't her fault, and this is a show by and for misogynists.
Great to hear amber back on the show
The keeping up with the Johnson’s is an Ari Astor short by the way I’m pretty sure it’s available on YouTube
I can’t not see that short film as some sort of dark comedy. There might be something wrong with me😬
I miss amber. Can't wait to check out the book! Been anticipating for a while
Amber you where amazing and are missed-the show does not work as well without you.
AMBER!!!!
Jokes on you Amber, you were my favorite cohost, especially when you and Matt were just playing off eachother. also thanks for letting us know the books up, been looking forward to it for a while!
abner
Hey ...!
Must be nice to be Amber, six figure salary and you have to do is one podcast episode a year
Anber.
If you didn’t see boobs on a Nintendo DS you never actually hit puberty.
Great to have Amber back!
EBONY ALERT!
Stay (I Missed You)
The app mike Johnson uses Covenant Eyes is from my hometown of Owosso MI, where many insane conservative stories come from
I cant imagine being a gremlin that doesnt like amber, I love you, we love you!
Amber alert
I love anytime Amber shows up. Hot cave woman representation is on the rise.
A return to the glory (Amber) days!
Holy shit amber? And she’s still pro-bullying? Yes ma’am I will be buying the stoned audiobook 🫡
get well soon, matt
More amber!!
More Amber!
Christ, the first time I learned about "strange thing about the johnsons" was from my 7th graders back in 2019. Remembering that has made my life OBJECTIVELY worse.
Why are Amber's porn references so much more current than Will's and Felix's
Felix and Will are each other's Covenant Eyes accountability buddies.
Notification for this podcast came through as an amber alert? Not sure how u guys did that
So happy to hear Amber being back I always loved hearing her perspective! I hope she comes back for some more shows!
Is that Norman Finkelstein at 19:50?
Who else could it be!! Unsure what motivated Norm to discuss what "gooning" is, but a great catch!!
Virgil was always my least favorite
Same, Amber has some bad takes, but there was a level of smarmy smugness I didn't like about Virgil.
Ambers back!!!!!!
Thanks for audio, I’m vision impaired.
Okay, I was happy Amber was back until she accused Rashomon of being a three-hour movie. It’s only 89 min!!!!
Yeah, but misremembering Rashomon is kinda perfect
I can't wait for the baby boomer's Long March from Florida to Montana.
I love you Amber. You rock and I always enjoy hearing you. Love, one of the only girl listeners.
Amber please stay
Keep this Amber woman
Imy Amber pls come on the show more
I’m not an Arabic speaker but I am a nurse and when I saw the “hostages chore list” I knew straight away it was some type of roster for the nursing staff because some things are universal!
Amber's back! In book form!
Comrade Trump SHOCKS Xinjiang Restaurant Waiter With Flawless Analysis of British Colonialism in XIXth Century China
So excited to hear Amber!! Will def. be checking out your book :-)
Amazing, I Pré-ordered the book like 2 years ago, excited to read
Just heard her on some early CT episodes. Missed Amber!
Amber will always be my favorite Chapo.
Need More Amber
A M B E R 🚨 M B E R 🚨
When the world needed her most, she returned. Can’t wait to get my copy of dirtbag!
First learn "how to drive tank?" in Hebrew. Next learn all other words needed to explain operating a tank.
16:15 Amber makes some of the most specific porn references I've ever heard. Wtf?
So triumphalist about the imminent end of zionism! Ambers monologue at the end of this is very weird. (Like the revolution will come automatically if we just sit on our hands for long enough.) Continue mobilizing and organizing for Palestinian liberation ✌️
Queen
I've seriously missed Amber on the show. Hopefully we get to hear more of her.
AMBUH?
Amber @ 14:30 got me
Missed you Amber. and not JUST in a creepy way.
AMBER??? Was not expecting that
fucking killer promo, Amber. i’m sold.
I think Israel sucks at propaganda because the decision makers are all extreme right wing dipshits. They don’t know what hits for normal people
I've been saying "gOOning" in Norm Finklesteins voice for like 4 straight days and I can't stop help
Try some others in his voice like “rusty trombone” or “snowballing.”
DON'T F WIT' ME AND LET AMBER GO EVER AGAIN !!! Will you are an anchor and Felix is both zany scion of wealth & masculine heterosexual 21st century struggle, BUT Matt & Amber are inspiration and that shit is sacred !!!
I don't have a least favorite host, what is that
Waking up to an Amber episode. I must be dreaming.
Ambers back! We have never been more back.
The proto-Athenian societies of the land not yet totalized as "Greece," c. the era of the Trojan War (roughly 1200 BC), were dominated by the kingdom of Mycenae and ruled via a system of mutual gooning
I love Amber, nice to hear her again.
She better not leave again!
Slop in a book!
Now I can read slop while I listen to it!
Okay that opening by Amber was hysterical
The silent confusion of the Trump crowds is so cool. It's amazing that peope go, party, stand there while Trump speaks for two hours... Awesome.
Some of y’all bout to be real mad at me
Amber's back! ❤️
I got into chapo in late 2019 and have missed amber so dearly. Please be a chapo staple again!
I missed Amber and I'm glad she's back.
Amber didn’t leave she just became Liz Franczak
I miss Amber so much.
Amber's adopted California accent is certainly something
still sounds like a divorcee from indiana to me
jokes on you just got the damn audiobook for free by scamming audible into thinking ill pay their damn subscription
Not amber 🤦🏾♀️
Slightly more listenable than the episode about luxury cruises
Waze still exists?
Amber you are my favorite chapo
How much is Israel to us like Northern Ireland is to the UK; an expensive pain in the ass with no natural resources to exploit and some of the worst most annoying & shitty people / psychos you don’t want in your council housing next door in your own country? (Farther away and way worse for Arabs with way more death in the case of Israel, but that’s kind of the trend too; empires & span of time decreasing with time, but distance & scope, & complexity increasing?) I wish there were top-of-brain awareness of all small ways Israel makes domestic American lives slightly worse from training our cops to the Israeli locksmith scam to various media and finance to electoral influence all the way down to school boards and local politics. I wish more Americans saw it in that light, and also, even regardless of right-left, even if they want to just see it calculatingly cold blooded crassly long and short term were asking ‘what are we getting out of this deal besides the usual American economy MO generic weapons sales & (maybe) some intelligence client services? That’s not nothing, but for what’s invested, what used to be a glossy ad for military tech & intelligence infiltration isn’t looking as good as it used to? It’s also mind blowing to me how much of the Israel leadership made it to the USA, saw or had access to the post WW2 bounty here, watched people make it to unimaginable heights and didn’t stay…’nah, I’d rather be part of this shitty settler colonial project, thx anyway.’ Politics really is for losers… I guess I’m pro-Israel; Just move it to Austria? Austria got such an awesome deal after the war compared to how much Germany paid in reparations & the most advanced industrialized iron Curtian countries got a raw deal being part of the USSR (Poland, Chech, east Germany) . & if you wanted to give Eastern European Jews who got a raw deal, it’s nearby? Granted, I’m cribbing from Christman’s observations we all miss… Hopefully no one below age ~40 believes in the project anymore & at least recognizes the value isn’t there… …whether that will translate into anything remotely good is another matter? Channeling Christman too; if the prestigious private ivy universities that are decaying/taking bribes already to accept the Kushners and Yglesii of the world, let their board of trustees burn them to the ground and pull their funding in some ways for all I care?; ‘all they are is annoying and all they do is produce annoying people.’ ‘Academia is a sinking ship being hollowed out & stripped for parts.’ ‘I’ll be honest, going to college now does sound like a real chore.’ -Christman Those early articles were some of the most nauseating, but I got a lot more done not reading the news at all was largely able to ignore & breeze thru them/collect names of the usual suspects later?
...especially now that I learned Jerusalem Artichokes don't come from Israel.
Mom
Return of the Queen!
Amber is much better than Virigil. Least favorite host is not true
Virgil was my favorite, except for the grooming stuff….
So like she's annoying and not very insightful but, on the other hand, Amber!!!!
Amber coming back and making a reference to the strange thing about the Johnson’s episode of cum town was not on my bingo card
Damn, would’ve loved to record Amber’s audiobook; I’m tired of endless erotica productions
SOMEONE hasn't read the book's line about kissing in the rain at an El train platform :)
oh lord how we have missed Amber
Who is we? Like if you’re we
Come back Amber. You are very much loved!
Maoist trump best trump. Also, yay Amber
I love Amber. Upping the dirt bag quotient to critical levels. I also love Norm. He's such a wildcard.
hi amber, do you have a distributor in the UK or europe for your book, looking forward to it
Welcome back Amber! Uh, I mean... Oh no, a goil!
YESSSS AMBER!
Isaac CHONNITER? Chotiner. Will. Just READ WHAT HIS NAME LOOKS LIKE AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAY IT BASED ON THAT
In eaaarly chapo with his VDH interview, they pronounce his name *plausibly.* Steadfast mis-pronouncing names is a well ridden trope on chapo, no? That said, I genuinely can’t tell if it’s a bit or just lazy or ignorant myself heh?
Amber I can assure you that you are not the least favorite.
Great to have Amber back!
Amber was great, top notch episode
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO
At this rate Virgil Texas will be back soon too
*insert Amber Alert ⚠️ joke here*
hi i’m jack and i’m a proud gooner
jacking off accountability app dings. i learn that my buddy from church camp is jacking off. but he’s been dead for three years 🫣
Ok, someone call Jack Wagner back. He needs to hear about this.
Amber!
[redditishly] Amber.
Amber
Where did this finklestein soundbite come from lmao
Episode of a podcast. THIS IS REVOLUTION from 7 months ago
So happy ambers making a return!
To be fair, I think a certain other previous host (now a missing person) might be the least favorite host. Happy to hear ambers voice
Ironically when that host has a new project my phone also sends me an 'Amber Alert'.
“Gaywad” took me back
Respect for the queen returning after so long :)
Amber! Can't wait to hear your audio book. I just pre-ordered it.
Chapo needs Amber. Thank you for coming back.
Amber! Also, thank you for making an audio book! I'm ADHD as hell and best absorb books while driving around for work.
Delivering fidget spinners to keep kids from gooning.
There is definitely one host who is liked far less lmao
Hey Amber, I preordered your book in March, 2021. Looking forward to it
I did too, bought it with a leftover barnes and nobles giftcard.
Worst chapo host, book looks awful sorry
Can't wait for "Ten Tips for Sucking Your Own Dick" by JB123456688
Amber, you were awesome as a host.
AMBUH ❤️
Is this a Boston Rob reference?
Amber I liked you a lot
Old Friend alert
Amber? Amber!!!
Was just thinking that I hope we get Amber on an episode soon. Been hearing too many great clips of her recently.
