    not yet :/ and I don't want to sound too pessimistic, but given his condition I think he's unlikely to be back anytime soon, although I really hope I'm wrong

    the boys have been on a good run of episodes lately, though, and I think the pod is still a very fun listen, but it just isn't the same without Matt

      I need his startlingly coherent anger right now. This shit in Rafah is bearing heavy today

        he's always been a legitimately interesting thinker, a guy who has just the right combination of a ton of historical and academic knowledge and internet brain poisoning to filter one through the other in unique ways

        I've been missing him ever since October. The genocide pretty much started right after he had his stroke. His analysis is sorely missed.

      Honestly, even if his condition has a rapid recovery, he also has an infant daughter that I'm sure he wants to put more time into that than just podcasting. He was always adamant that podcasting is for loser weirdos and he was embarrassed to tell people what he did.

        iirc, after it happened Will said they'd already been preparing for Matt to take paternity leave.

          Good. Hope he's thoroughly Attentive-Dad-pilled and prioritizes his family and health. There's a lifetime of hot takes and media slop for us piggies to consume already.

      I’m glad they started to bring on Alex on the regular. I enjoyed him on their Twitch channel back when I actually watched it and the man’s just as funny as I remember.

    A title of a recent episode referenced midwestern oafs and I got excited for a minute thinking Matt was back, but no. It was just called that cause they were dunking on fetterman. sicko-wistful

      Where is virgil texas now? Recently just saw his name pop up lol, wondering where he went/what he does now? : cushvlog

      I think bro is still living off of patreon money, but I’m curious if anyone knows what ended up happening?

      Some replies

      he tragically died trying to charge his samsung galaxy s8

      He has a degree from Cornel and he was a comedy writer for a long time prior to Chapo- that’s how he met Felix and Mullen- so presumably just some version of that

      CW: Will bashing.

      Take this with a grain of salt, but the red scare sub psychos claimed he just lives a normal life in nyc. Goes to clubs and stuff. I think it’s mostly an online disappearance. At the same time I feel like someone would’ve snapped a pic of him by now.

      That’s what I’m saying, I feel like I would’ve seen pictures or something lmao. Like it’s not like he turned into a neat. I mean after those allegations maybe he did.

      That’s the thing though. If he changed his style, got contacts, and cut his hair how many people would recognize him? It’s not like Will where he has a distinctly weird face that would stand out to people

      i have a pet theory that he lives in suburban central florida

      Oh so he went to hell

      He discovered the Anti-Life Equation and the combined forces of the Justice Leagues of multiple Earth's had to force him into the Source Wall

    I miss his rendition of the Marxist narrative of history. His obsession with it made him the most relatable of the three.

    I mean matt had a serious health problem. And I don't mind someone just taking indefinite time off in those circumstances (especially if they got the means to it). Like I also don't expect matt to come back to start doing podcasts or whatever. That's on his volition and time.
