A few years ago, you tweeted out how your friend worked on “The Slap” TV show, and how he was responsible for coming up with a list of fake jazz artists albums for the show. That list you tweeted was some of the funniest shit I’ve ever seen. But when I go back through your twitter account I can’t find it. Please retweet. Thank you kindly.

    Has any of the chapo anybodys ever made a comment acknowledging the banning of the subreddit or the creation of a spinoff website dedicated to fans of their podcast?

      acknowledging the banning of the subreddit

      on the podcast, yes several times. Will in particular had a habit of gloating about it for a while

      or the creation of a spinoff website dedicated to fans of their podcast

      none of them have mentioned this site to my knowledge

        IIRC SecondThought from The Deprogram pod did an IAMA here once. Also I'm pretty sure Yung Chomsky, who is the Chris Wade of True Anon, posts on the True Anon sub reddit-logo

          Been considering reaching out to him for a retvrn. Maybe as a once a year thing. It was December when we had him. Maybe ask if the whole deprogram gang will do it at the same time?

        I still listen to every episode, I’m not expecting great political theory or anything though I just like listening to people roast columnists

        they're fairly tolerable IMO. they're on my side of the mental fence I've drawn up between the Left proper and the socdems/radlibs. if you accept that they're only here to be entertainment for mostly American (and certainly Western) news and events then one might even call them good; Felix is still in like the top 3 funniest people I've ever listened to. I don't listen to them anymore but it's not out of any particular malice, though I would probably cringe any time they start talking about international events, I just have no niche for them in my media consumption any more.

        Its good background noise most of the time.

        I'm too old and not online enough to get about half of what they talk about. The other half is usually pretty good listening. Its just that the shit bits and the good bits are all mixed together so it'll depend on your tolerance for waiting for bad bits to end and good content to begin.

          despite being terminally online themselves, the Chapos aren't fans of the idea

          I can relate

            Eh terminally online comes in different flavors. Some people are twitter people, some people like the message board format better.

      Yes they acknowledged the old sub for sure. Will and Felix did AMAs at different times. I feel like Felix posted in the sub in 2016 for an AMA that was like for 10 people because the sub was so small at the time and Will did his AMA in 2018 or so. Chris definitely was in there and did an AMA and I remember this huge thread where he was engaging with like every question. I was impressed. One of the mods (mugrimm) told him the shows were too long and to keep them at 1hr45min which pissed me off because I lived for content at the time. Even funnier that Chris agreed that that was the perfect length and recently they are going for a solid hour and that's pretty much it. Dave Anthony from the Dollop did an AMA on the sub, too, lol. Dave Anthony would post on the sub sometimes randomly and he would get into it with shit talkers. Did not shy away and embraced being mad online. I think cush had a couple of comments on the sub from the early days out of curiosity, and I remember somebody around here saying that he was asked about this site on a cushvlog and was aware of hexbear and supportive of the decision to stop calling it chapo.chat. And BadEmpanada would shit post there from time to time too
