It's been several weeks now since Virgil has been on his own show. Has he been cancelled or he is just he locked in the bathroom with IBS? Does anybody know?

    Was he fired from Chapo? I always thought he quit more or less

        I couldn't help but feel a rift between Virgil and the other Chapos- compare Virgil leaving to Brendan leaving. No mention of Virgil or his new pod on air, let alone any kind of cross-promotion. Like they've had BJG on before, it's not like they're strangers

          I have a friend who can just completely ignore all communications for months on end. He struggles with depression, alcoholism, and other issues. I love him and don't judge him for any of the ghosting. He knows I care and when he needs help I'm there. And when he's ready to re-engage with us he's welcomed with open arms and no one makes a big deal about it.

          That said, I'm not trying to do a podcast with this friend, either. I don't actually rely on him for anything, really. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be if I was trying to do a podcast with him and I was just getting ghosted, despite the fact that he's a friend and I really care about his wellbeing before anything else.

            I assume they just finally made him decide if he wanted to continue being on Chapo or not, and to be fair, it did take about a year after he first started ghosting them for both parties to officially separate. Even if they're the best of friends the amount of money involved probably complicated things
