    can I be honest that i found the amber meme annoying and don’t see the point

      I love it because half the time she’s brought up it’s in some weirdly sexual context. I am aware of her wikifeet page against my will. @AMBER_BOT is a Volcel Deputee as far as I’m concerned

        i feel like it fuels her weird fetishization not help it. i see people spamming her name way more when we could like not talk about her when it’s absolutely not related.

        but thats my take

      It only made sense during the DSA M4A struggle session where she got brought up like every ten minutes

    I know this is just doing bits but I still like the pod, not every ep is amazing but it still makes me laugh

    There are three types of chapos

    1. Those who have never listened to the pod
    2. Those who still listen to the pod
    3. Liars who say they stopped listening to the pod but didn't

      Insert obligatory "why would I stop listening to Citations Needed?" here

        For some reason I never really want to listen to Citations Needed but when I do I'm like "hell yeah this is so good as hell give me more Citations Needed"

        Ngl I’m a big fan of your lowkey disdain for the Citations Needed joke

        Okay but like... Citations Needed is so good. Every time I try to listen to CTH I fall asleep

          I listen to Citations Needed when I want to learn stuff and be angry. I listen to Chapo when I want to laugh and be angry.

            Favorite bit? Maybe I’ve only ever listened to their more serious stuff or something

    Just watched fighting in the age of loneliness today, as long as the original dry boys are still doing chapo I'll always enjoy it.

      At least check out "Well There's Your Problem" because it's probably the best thing on the internet for urban development nerds.

      Question: I listened in 2018 and episodes ~50-70 are some of my favorite podcasts of all time (working my way forward through the catalog from where I stopped listening). When I listen to more recent eps, it seems that db is kinda depressed or something compared to a couple years ago? Did something happen, or is he just exhausted cause they've been doing the pod for like 2 or 3 years now?

        I only started listening about a year ago but he does sound more energetic in the old eps; I chalk it up to depression and maybe parenthood and mayyybe drinking. Nothing that he's been specific about (not sure if his marriage ending is a recent development)? I resonate strongly with his doomer vibe but I do hope he's all right.

          Marriage stuff would be hard for sure, sounds like a rough combo. Hope for the best for him.

      When does it get good? I tried listening to it and it was mostly just talking about celebrity gossip from years ago that I didn't care about then and certainly don't care about now. When do they actually talk about kickstarters?

      Not Pod Save America, Pod damn America. That's in the Bible, for killing innocent people. Pod damn America for treating her citizens as less than human. Pod damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.
