For me it has to be the Berlin live episode and in top spot the live DnD episode, which I literally had to turn off after about 15 mins because it was too embarrassing. I can't imagine what being in the audience must have been like, lmao

(Obviously the true leftist answer is all of them)

      Is that the one where they said not all cops are bad, minorities actually need cops, and 'abolishing' the police is actually helping reactionaries?

      I went from being a regular listener to only turning CTH on once in a blue moon.

        i never listened to that one either but iirc it was matt taibbi's obsession with CANCEL CULTURE (tm) because deep down inside he knows he has no skills other than "media pundit" so it's the biggest threat to his income

        i don't think there was any pushback from the chapos, who are likewise largely talentless hacks who rely on people sending them money every month to keep making replaceable jokes at one another for an hour or two every week

            These are rich podcasters who grew up in Manhattan and Lake Forest, Illinois, two of the wealthiest areas in the entire world. You don't need to white knight them.

              Lake forest is one of the laziest names ever, right up there with basically every medium sized place in Illinois. Oak park, oak forest, oak lawn, oak brook, rock island, Plainfield, crystal lake, galena, Springfield. All these places are just named for what is there in plain english. At least Galesburg mixes it up with some German.

            I'd be bitter if they accomplished much more than a twitter patreon following. money + followers isn't success.

              Are you bourgeois? I don't know any other perspective that would say money isn't success

                bitch, I'm not saying money isn't valuable. I'm saying wealth isn't something to aspire to for its own sake. money isn't a moral good. the liberal brainworms are eating you alive. recognize them and fucking devour them first.

      Matt Taibbi

      I've always hated that guy. He always gave me weird vibes when he was on Majority Report or whatever the fuck.

        He literally wrote a book explaining how fucked up the police were during the Eric Gardner public execution. And how deep the corruption goes. But guess calling for abolition of that force is a step too far

          I don't have to like him just because he did a right thing one time.

            I don’t like him either. It’s just wild to me you could write a while book detailing why the system is fucked and still come to that conclusion
