Everytime I've checked the subreddit, other places of discussion like chapotraphouse podcast, etc... I am left confused.

What is this? Do I just not get it? What is the purpose of chapo? Why is the podcast entertaining to people?

Sorry if I sound like a dumbass but I genuinely want to know why people gather around the chapo name and listen to the chapo podcast.

    I thought the hosts' disdain for the sub was a bit but I guess they were serious about that. I dunno, when a bunch of well meaning dorks who like your show create a mostly good community around it, it's very weird to constantly be like "you guys disgust me"

      it's not a bit, the hosts are honestly mostly just kinda shitty people.

      Imo it's mainly Will, and I think it mostly was a bit until that idiotic drama about the mods refusing a request by Leslie Lee 3rd's request to pin an episode of Struggle Session (podcast he co-hosts) and just kinda insulting him for no real reason.

        To be fair Leslie Lee III is an asshole online and nobody wanted to listen to his podcast on Spiderman

          He can be, but I think he plays a decent straight man and facilitator to the others' antics, so I give him some benefit of the doubt. Though maybe not so good a facilitator from what I've heard about the Taibbi episode.
