EDIT: I keep seeing comments saying "he's not telling them to kill themself" which, to me, seems like only giving him a pass for not outright saying it. It's not like they were discussing gun suicide rates - that topic was not what the conversation was about whatsoever. The person replying, who mentioned being a gun owner in their bio, made a joke at felix, who in turn, seeing a viable topic that person cares about, starts reminding them the statistics of what they’re most likely to use their gun for, if they use it - suicide. I fail to see how that’s anything other than outright hostility.
I’m trans and say so in my bio and it’d be like if someone randomly brought up the 40% statistic in response to me making a joke about them
They should just work with Blowback and make a really good podcast.
Hell of presidents might be the way to radicalize History Channel Boomer Grandpas.
How do I listen to this without having to give money to Stitcher?
The YouTube channel It's Story Time has been regularly uploading paywalled stuff too. Has Time for My Stories which I mostly liked but does contain Felix so I guess I'm a hypocrite now, Blowback, Hell of Presidents and lost Chapo episodes from the days of yore.

You're allowed to have problematic faves. :stalin-heart: Thanks for the link, comrade.
I'm not paying so no biggie. The dude has a knack for talking about shows
I for one, can't wait to see Matt become an old man doing leftist Carlin-style rants.
Honestly the time has come for them to just come together every couple months for a reunion show when a bad movie comes out.
Welp… Felix now free for his solo project. Now maybe we learn the truth about Syria
I stopped listening to Chapo a year or so ago (though I did drop in to hear Noah and Brendon talk about Cuba and Hell of Presidents), but I would be definitely interested in listening to a pod with Matt, Will, and Chris Wade.
Same energy as complaining about having to wear a mask inside Dennys. Congrats Felix!
I've both worked and worked out in masks for almost the entirety of the last 15 months, as have plenty of people I know.
Is it worse than working out without a mask? Absolutely.
But it's not impossible and you're not mandated the right to get into a gym, so if putting a mask on for your house is all you have to do to keep going during a pandemic it's not a hard trade off.
Someone get them on the weighted clothing thing from Dragon Ball
This is beyond ridiculous. Tons of people work out with masks designed specifically to restrict air intake. A fucking piece of cloth will not suffocate anyone but the most sickly - who, it must be said, are unlikely to be going to the gym, particularly during a pandemic.
No one said it's gonna suffocate you lol it just really fucking sucks, especially if it is already hot. Like, I wear it because I have to, but I'm not exactly having fun. At some point I got light headed and had to stop and go outside to catch my breath again. Getting dizzy like that can get dangerous if it results in you falling down, especially if you have weight on. Surgical masks are a bit better than N95s but still not nice. Also it depends on what you are doing.
lol do more cardio then if you are that out of breath with a mask. suck it up baby
You could always work out at home, or the park, anywhere it's free too. Felix is acting like a baby and he's too wealthy to need defenders.
Getting less O2 makes your body more efficient with it or something. Think of it as training in a place with thin-air so you're faster when you're at sea level.
That actually doesn't work and why those oxygen deprivation masks/high altitude masks were dumb. Because once you takenitboff you recover at regular O2 levels so it's not really like training at high altitude.
Sorry I know you are trying to help but those masks (the training ones, not ones that stop the spread of covid) are a massive pet peeve of mine so I had to get that out. Lol
Yeah I'm glad they seem to be out of vogue now (let's be real, no one is going to be wearing masks anymore because they want to). If you're doing cardio with a mask on, you could just be running/whatever faster without the mask instead.
My mom working a 12 hour shift with a mask on for $7.25/hr :yes-honey-left:
Treat boy Felix upset he has to wear a mask for an hour at the gym zone :wojak-nooo:
Love too cry about how selfish chuds and libs are on my podcast, but then use the same selfish arguments because I'm mildly inconvenienced.
Literally no reason why he couldn't just buy his own gym equipment.
:cringe: why do I feel like Felix is on a descending-into-ableism-posting speedrun
matt was right to move west. LA is a profoundly demonic place but there's a uniquely corrosive miasma floating around NYC right now that is bad for left brains
He'll be fine. Like he was mostly just doing some cathartic bitching/moaning and then became the tweet of the day, which he never takes well lol
Might I remind some folks that he did raise over 100,000 for Palestine, you know, just to cool some tempers
Dude's havin a crisis over masks and gyms, not really normal, but I've seen worse
He's trying to defeat the Orphan of Kos, but the twitter keeps distracting him and the AC is too high and
On a normal day I'd totally kick your ass bro, but I'm wonded from having to wear my mask to the gym and
Edit: I meant to write 'winded' but this is way better
Dude’s havin a crisis over masks and gyms, not really normal, but I’ve seen worse
it's just a white thing, it's in their genes
even the most ostensibly based will encounter a time in their lives where they start wigging out over masks or whatever the flavor-of-the-month pearl clutching outrage is
damn, I'll pull a reverse chud then. They're POC when I like them, white when I don't.
pulls out tome of discredited 19th century race theory Well you see, looking at their skullshapes, Iranians are a type of Jew...
Anyone else remember how r/neoliberal kept claiming they were better than the chapo sub because they donated more money to charity?
jesus christ the chapo --> fascist pipeline has been lathed into heaven as real, but it's (some of) the hosts themselves
Seems more like a Bill Maher liberal than a fascist tbh.
Waiting for Felix to give opinions in favor of reducing the capital gains tax soon.
Famously not fascist Bill Maher proudly advocating for racial profiling at airports. Very not fascist Bill Maher describing the violence of Israeli occupiers as restrained (with the not-so-subtle implication that Israel ought to just nuke the occupied territories).
I've been lifting in a mask for about a year now. It is just not that bad.
I avoided this situation entirely by completely dropping fitness entirely and becoming a slob
Yeah I started back up a couple months ago and it's only noticeable to me when I'm doing conditioning tbh
My gym has been closed since covid started, and isnt likely to open up soon. I just bought and borrowed enough stuff to have a half decent garage gym. Best thing about it is that i can play whatever i want on my tv while i work out.
I feel that. Small town i live in has lots of home gyms. During shut down I just did work trades for access to the garage gyms and we were careful with limiting contact.
Once stuff opened back up it’s just been fine working out masked up. Tbh if you’re someone who can’t outdoor cardio, then I feel some sympathy for you, but not lifting tbh.
If there was a tweet with only 6 likes making fun of me about something obviously false, I would simply ignore it and move on with my day.
I don't want to psychologize someone I don't know, but I've noticed him getting legitimately mad on Twitter tends to be followed by him being lethargic on the pod, and then taking some time off.
i thought we officially scoured our collective consciousness of these brooklynite latte nerds when we rebranded to hexbear
he's being a dick but I'm not so sure that "clean your gun" is an urge to suicide?
I mean he's saying that this person is more likely to kill themself than ever use the gun for anything else. It's not like a direct command, but I fail to see how that isn't trying to egg someone on
Eh, that seems extremely uncharitable, comrade with a gun also didn’t take it that way
Is it too much to ask to not tell someone they might kill themself with their gun?
yeah if you say "you are likely to kill yourself with your gun" and then immediately tell them to go clean their gun you are telling them to go kill themselves, behavior which was typical of the internet cutural milieu that felix came up in but which is not fuckin cool
I'll be honest, there are more suicidal leftists than rightists. Rightists only suicide indirectly by messing up their surroundings so much that they get killed by them
his mask rambling is incoherent trash though
the topic of gun ownership/suicide rates was not what the conversation was about whatsoever. Someone, who mentioned being a gun owner in their bio, made a joke at felix, who in turn, seeing a viable topic that person care about, starts reminding them the statistics of what they're most likely to use their gun for, if they use it - suicide. I fail to see how that's anything other than outright hostility.
I'm trans and it'd be like if someone randomly brought up the 40% statistic in response to me making a joke about them
I don't think that "trans person" and "gun owner" are quite the same type of categories. Felix definitely just picked the first thing he saw and used it to lash out though.
Which he did by bringing up suicide stats for gun owners. How do you bring up suicide as a means of lashing out that isn't implied encouragement?
Well duh, of course they aren't, but it's like you said, he's picking the first thing he see's about that persons interests/identity and finding the most vitriolic way to use it against the person. In this case it's the fact that person is a gun owner, therefore he's bringing up suicide rates. I've literally had chuds do the same thing to me, bringing up trans suicide rates out of the fucking blue in response to something I've said. Like, you don't think the gun owner is aware of gun based suicide and the likelihood that they'll never use their gun for true revolution? Of course he fucking does, so felix feeling the need to remind him is just a fucked up way of putting the dude down. Felix is just being a little bitch and using whatever he can to shit on people, down to malicious evocations of suicide. Idk how anyone can argue this is anything short of absolute piece of shit behavior.
I don't think he was urging the guy to kill himself, I think it was an attempt to knock down the idea that owning a gun is some kind of radical political statement. The reference to gun ownership increasing suicidality is directly contrasted with doing "anything of any political meaning with it". You could just as easily read this as Felix egging the guy on to commit some kind of politically-motivated killing.
Felix is wrong, guns are cool and you should own one, it doesn't matter if you'll ever get the chance to use it to shoot a fascist with it or not, and gun ownership increasing suicide rates is some lib half-correct-talking-point bullshit. Wear a mask you dumb bitch who gives a shit god damn.
