810 - The Forbidden Zone feat. Alex Nichols (2/27/24)
Alex joins us once again to look at the news of the day, starting with a more serious look at the recent self-immolation in protest of U.S. Airman Aaron Bushnell. After that some lighter fare, with some stories of the bad Biden dog, Elizabeth Warren smoking weed with Ed Markey, and an article chronicling Biden’s stroke game going back to the 70’s. Finally, we read the big new piece on Bari Weiss’ University of Austin and its “Forbidden Courses”.

So felix, just to make sure I've got this right-- jiu-jitsu is simultaneously very useful for fighting and also not like real fighting at all? Got it just wanted to make sure
More Alex Nichols, thanks
Alex power sliding between someone’s legs and speed-bagging their nuts
In my high school Ag classes we always watched either Hoosiers or Marley and Me, my high school business law class we watched My Cousin Vinny and in Chemistry/Physics we watched the Jurassic Park movies and Uncle Buck.
We got to see Last of the Mohicans in high school
On the subject of inappropriate movies in school, my 5th grade teacher made us watch the horror movie, the Orca, for some reason and it left me irrationally afraid of whales for a while until, in HS, my grandma decided I needed to get the fuck over it and took me on a whale watch to (her words) "break me." 🤣
Wouldn't this be sexual harassment in a normal workplace?
55 burgers, 55 fries, 55 tacos, 55 pies...
They did the same thing to us with pay it forward. I think they wanted us to learn to never help anyone. Good advice
Omg I had to see pay it forward in like 7th or 8th grade, I was in a Catholic middle school. So it didn't seem too out of place lol was still like wtf why are we watching this lol
Biden’s new dog, Armored Division, just chewed through half the presidential protection detail
Someone is really missing an opportunity to put PB on Biden's face when he sleeps and let nature take its course.
Any episode where Fleix says "Alien" is my favorite.
It’s spelled feelix
Felix squealing ‘he filled me up! really did it for me this ep
Alex is the Shemp these unsure times call for
The ring finger/index finger length thing is actually a legit concept (2D:4D ratio) in that it is a marker for prenatal testosterone exposure. It can predict the risk for certain cancers, etc. However, findings for sexual orientation haven’t been consistent across studies.
alex is so fucking funny
Alex is on fire in this one goddamn
Alexisonfire
The only “Human Chessboard” they should have at Austin University is the one they showcased in Hunters, Season 1.
Alex is goated
If I knew how I would feed "Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society but RIPPED" to an AI image generator
Great episode, Alex is like Lou Williams in his prime of Chapo. Guaranteed production every time he’s called up.
The Matt Stairs of Chapo. Best pinch hitter of all time.
Alex Nichols episodes truly do not miss
Cmon Will @45:00 UT Austin’s not the punching bag here
Gotta keep having Alex on.
81-year old Biden eats ice cream with Seth Meyers, while children are dying of starvation in Northern Gaza, and says of the ceasefire and food assistance, something to the effect of "yeah, maybe we'll get to it next week, probably Monday". Great youth outreach, gramps.
“They’re growing teeth for me” made me spit take
This is why I love having cats.
No one cares nerd
Alex is incredible!
Alex spitting historical truth: The anti-woke peasants of the Vendee sucked at art.
Cocaine sons have fast travel map.
I hope the Israeli government forces that Mark Regev guy to counter with his own self immolation video.
God doesn't love us enough to bless us that way.
Alex is a fantastic guest.
“I could kill everyone on this bus with something I picked up in jiu jitsu class (a methicillin-resistant staphylococcus infection)”
I was also shown Stand and Deliver in my middle school math class. I’ll give the teacher a pass on that one because he busted his ass the rest of the academic year. Big shoutout to Mr. Ruhl.
That “car with no gas” joke had me laughing out loud during my lunch break at work 😂
Please don't confuse UATX with UT Austin. Longhorns don't worry about fighting everyone on the bus, we worry about whether Charles Whitman could dome us from the clocktower.
More longhorn chapoheads? 🤘
Okie from Muskogee is a goated karaoke song for anyone looking to branch outside their usual rotation of songs
I prefer "my way" because I hear it's the most common song to trigger karaoke-fueled murders.
The Peter in question is Peter boghossian who indeed submitted nonsense to those academic journals and has made a very sad career out of it. Pano Kanelos is the president of university of Austin
Boss Hoggs?
All assigned reading at Bovine U is airport books
What song did they play during the transition????
austin prison johnny cash
a gem. nice work, lads
Liberals would love a gay male Russian protester who sets himself on fire to protest the war in Ukraine while screaming "I had gay sex with both Trump and Putin, they are both gay"
"Look at what the homosexuals have done to me! Everything they do is so dramatic and flamboyant, it makes me want to set myself on fire!" -Lucille Bluth
Alex is honestly a top tier guest
Fucking disgusting. Suicide is not “self-sacrifice”
no less so than bum rushing an ice detention center
They made us watch John Q w Denzel Washington in health class at my public school
I cannot get enough of secret service agents getting savaged by dogs. Keep at it major
The 50 first dates discourse has me wanting Biden in a Memento style movie where he wakes up petrified that everyone is smothering him with the responsibilities of the presidency and he has to piece it all together from scratch everyday from messages tattooed on his body by Jeff Zients.
Lately I've been haunted by that single moment, permanently frozen in time, where that secret service agent is screaming pointing their gun at Aaron engulfed in flames. Then other agent behind them says "I don't need guns, I need a fire extinguisher" urgently trying to save him while the other keeps screaming pointing the gun. That fucking sentence will be something I remember until I die. When this is all over, it should be tattooed on everyone who ever defended Israel's actions right on their fucking forehead. "I don't need guns, I need a fire extinguisher." Just. Fuck man.
The fact that he was able to even utter the words free Palestine after he started screaming is unbelievable. I hope he took something before to help with the pain.
The Bari Weiss Cult invites in the most insecure and frightened people in the world & further weakens them with more psychotic fear. I say Good on 'Em, blanche these whiteys out even whiter so they can't go out in the Sun!! The LaRouche movement at least got a few things right (British Royal drug smuggling) & the Scientologists create some real benefits for their Top Tier Celebs. I'm glad Bari Weiss is around, hopefully some day they will go full-on David Koresh Branch Davidian! Very entertaining.
The Zone of Disinterest would be a good title too
god okie from muskogee rules. how dare these nerds disrespect the memory of one of the coolest people of all time
That Marine managed to kill the Jackson impersonator on the Subway with a choke and no one did anything I recall.
That crayon eater deserves prison time for that fucked hairdo alone. Hopefully they can tack that on to the manslaughter and negligent homicide charges.
I still don’t know why Taylor Lorenz is blocking me on Twitter. I have never interacted with her lol.
Oh thank God. I needed my slop.
we watched “Philadelphia” in POD. No idea why.
Biden is more familiar with Bushmill's than Bushnell
Martial arts? Street knowledge? Human chess? Bovine University is what would happen if white people started Wu Tang Clan.
comparable number of N bombs
The pod save Johns listening to "love me, I'm a liberal" for the first time: "oh wow, what a bop!"
one of these weeks when it's going to be late you should just release a chapofym episode instead, so we can simulate what it's like when people go to the fym channel and are confused its not about politics but nasty dudes
Commander is the dark subversion Scooby from the Scooby Doo crossover eps of Venture Bros. Talks like a scary guy, but only to the Secret Service agents
Herve and Oingo Boingi!
Great episode Alex was a good addition
i’m receiving the news now that biden adopted commander from vanderpump dogs
Lizz Warren is trying to see the rocks big structural Johnson
stop having that loser on he sucks
Malenia Trump, Goddess of Rot
Alex and/or Hesse as ongoing interim 3rd mic please
You heard of street epistemology (Yeah) Well I’m getting people pissed off at me
You got bars for days, son.
Commander says “Fuck the police, free Palestine”
I just want a sound clip of Felix shouting “SHUT UUUUUP” to play anytime I’m reading Twitter
I don't feel good about it at all, but whenever Felix gets to that point it's a guaranteed laugh out loud from me.
Exactly. The liberal intelligentsia is anti-science, anti-truth, anti-thought. Worse than the right while pretending soke yenta karen moral superiority
Commander is basically the Lenin of dogs. Committing unrepentant revolutionary praxis from his privileged position of being the one dog cops can’t shoot
They sent Commander to GITMO
Now imagine that in a Trump voice
cant believe alex missed a chance to use vince voice with Ho Hogan
Matt shlap the sound of balls slapping an ass
I think it was Hesse who made the perfect metaphor: it's the sound of a hand covered with lube smacking an ass.
Chapo is a Wednesday/Saturday Podcast
Strong enough now to be unionized. Typical.
my addict son better return car with gas in it
I’m surprised that Warren didn’t try to say that they call it a peace pipe and make some more race faking.
Commander got sent to a farm upstate?!?
No, mechanized brigade got sent upstate
wtf is "chappofym" is chapo a frnachise now? fuck yeah ok i'm in whatever cool
Chapo for your mother
I got to question these dudes that take BJJ and think they can destroy any man. They must have some shitty teachers or they took two classes and quit. I have taken BJJ and Judo for years, and its give me the understanding that literally anyone can kick my ass. Maybe its because I am not an intellectual...
See the problem is you aren’t respecting yourself, any alpha male in the field will immediately sense your hesitation and “dom you”, but if you invest in yourself and learn self respect, than you’ll be investing in the respect economy, which in turn will graduate you in street bidnezz money mentality. From there, the worlds all your friend. No man will ever dom you again.
Oussy Riot
Sorry for this cringe pun, but God is speaking to us through a burning Bushnell. "Free Palestine".
taking Da Mystery of Chessboxing 201 next semester
If the fucking heritage foundation tries to ban my sex rec league I’m going to ju jitsu them all into an early grave
Really surprised the Craig Jones adult karate clip wasn’t referenced in the BJJ segment.
Labradoodle discourse on Chapo? This is content I personally pay for
I was skeptical of the whole idea of them (the kind of hater Alex mentioned) until a friend got one and now I kind of love the hell out of them. They are tanks and fast as hell and you can't tell what their thinking because they have a zoomer cauliflower haircut with sick bangs covering their eyes. Pretty good breed tbh.
Most of this “forbidden” shit is just like, “hey THEY don’t WANT you to know that you can have your desert first!” Or it’s fucking boring. Who gives a shit about genders, there’s more than 3 and people have them, end of story. Trans people exist too, move on with your life
I personally have all the genders. Been collecting for years
These guys sound like they want judo, not bjj
Freestyle + catch wrestling is the god tier combo
I like how this Bovine University asshole is essentially just a professor of being that guy at work who just learned about combat sports / climbing / crossfit and derails every conversation by shoehorning his new hobby into it. This is not specialized or arcane knowledge! There are millions of people like you and they are all assholes! Aaron Bushnell died a fucking hero.
Why did they leave out the whole “don’t say rest in power about some white devil” part of the discourse?
Is that still a thing? Thought it died out pretty quick when people said the first usage was about an asian american or something
46:00 just do actually philosophy you fucking dweebs. it literally works from folk intuitions.
Delay was worth it, the slop was curing to perfection
I still say the Biden puppers are just protecting Joe from Keystone Cop-like assassination attempts by the Secret Service praetorian guard
There was a Russian journalist who self immolated and the coverage was totally different. Navalny did something suicidal when he returned to Russia after the Russian government tried to assassinate him and we just got finished a news cycle of praising his heroism without a word of his mental state and diagnosing his mental health or linking the suicide help line.
Also no talk about his radical views on Muslims or anything.
Liz Warren's force of wrongness has literally caused arenas full of wrestling fans to start boo'ing The Rock
I'm a Bad Son ™️ and it's very true. I have made it home very high along some super scary highway shoulders
Facinating irony in the seemingly unconcious juxtaposition of Aaron Bushnell PB"UH's martyrdom and the description of Socrates's near the end there. Just doing it for the attention you say?
Aaron Bushnell did it for attention. That was the point.
the absolute gall of Chia Raichu to beg for any kind of mercy when she's one of the most inexcusably morally bereft people allowed to post on twitter. lol
Obamas dogs did bite people! Sunny bit a WH guest on the face. C'mon guys...
Obama bit dogs
Dude everyone knows dogs hate cops. That’s why he’s biting those White House cops.
Also Alex is amazing as always
They’re just mad his act of valor wasn’t in their service. The most honorable discharge
Pls do another Hasan episode!!
You sure? I heard he’s been putting in hard hours at the streaming sweat shop. Hard to believe he’s still alive. Doing all that labor to feed his family. What a hero!
this is such good slop
A lack of inhibition is one of the possible effects of dementia, as is a rise in overly sexualised behaviour.
Nice, we be fuckin
Ey there’s the slop!
First
merci beaucoup mes ami
What is to be done? Seriously, This sucks so bad.
It has to get worse
Someone call Robert Pickton because it's time to feed the pigs.
Will listen in the morning, Heartbreaking that it happened. Regardless of how obvious it is, we shouldn’t have to live in a world where this form of protest exists. Rest in power Aaron.
Spirit was in the right place but fire wasn't. No one remembers Dorner the one hero cop?
He has a posse
Sloppo Slophouse
RIP Aaron Bushnell. Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Alex rules
Love Alex. Nice slop
Me too. One of my fav guests.
Fact Biden went to get Ice Cream with Seth Meyers like that Solider's burning meant nothing speaks for itself. Free Palestine and fuck the state of American Empire forever.
Slop hoooooo!!!
LATE!
Thanks, I’m starving
SLOOOP PIGGIE FEED OIIIIINK
