You don't need to play audio of these weirdos to dunk on them. Imagine you're washing dishes or kneading dough or something and some deranged boomer or nasally right-wing wunderkind comes on and you can't skip ahead because your hands are full, just awful

    I disagree. Snippets of their diatribes help to emphasize their odiousness. It's especially helpful for converting fence sitters.

      Even when it's a person I already don't like. Even when it's a position I am willing to assume they defend. I like hearing the sound bite. It demonstrates to me that we aren't just straw manning the other side. It provides the nessesary context for me to endorse the rest of the analysis.

      Yeah that's the biggest mystery for me as to how he got so popular. Listening to him talk makes me envy the deaf.

          With these bigger conservative talking heads who keep getting airtime in the media no matter how big of a charisma void they are, I'm assuming it's because they have the financial backing of decrepit vampires pumping cash into keeping them afloat

    You think that's bad? I listen to "I don't speak German", which is two lefty podcasters who listen to fash media (the actual openly Neo Nazi stuff), and they play a fair amount of fash audio to explain what the fash are discussing. But a) it's played at like 1.5x, so it's kinda funny, b) I don't listen to it outside the house.

    Really don't need to risk an accidental playing of Matthew Heimbachs latest bright idea!

    I'm also pretty over chapos reading of right wing loser pundits.

    Like just quit the pod. Let matt rant, let Virgil become a pundit, let felix game, and just let will drift off into some movie review corner to be ignored.

    I left Amber out cuz she is clearly half way out the door.

    Completely agreed. I can tolerate about 10 seconds of some right wing ghoul being played on chapo. Any longer than that? Get out of here. Cody Johnson's Some More News show is a very bad offender on this one.

      People like Three Arrows or Shaun will leave links to the content they're responding in their description boxes and ask you to watch them before watching their videos, and I just go ahahaha no every time

    Aside from the fantastic audio work they do on the west wing thing, i really like listening to every male character be an asshole to every female character. can't get enough of it. TBF, they have stated that they intend to educate people who think their fave show couldn't possibly be this shitty. I just skip the clips when i can because I don't feel the need to disagree with their analysis. The other thing is you miss half the smugness of the west wing if you can't see their smarmy faces. Hearing clips on TWWT is bad, but when I tried to watch it, it was painful.

    I just realized that some of the clips they play are so long, i forget why they played them by the time they're over. Might be useful to at least put in the timecode so people can see the context (LMAO) as well.

      Excerpts from a lame liberal TV show is a bit different from unfiltered right-wing madness, some of QAnon Anonymous's Q Rally episodes have made me want to swerve onto oncoming traffic while riding my bicycle
