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?

    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
