Felix does this on chapo it's really grating
Like come on man what is this 1999
Yeah, it always takes me out of the moment when I hear it. There is no amount of irony poisoning that makes that okay.
The Chapo boys also use the R word pretty regularly too. Really wish we could get past this type of attempt at humor.
I really don't get why Leftists even listen to those shows.
That being said, I'm grateful for whatever part they played in this site coming into existence.
I think because it was many people’s first introduction to leftism in an easily digestible way. Also, early on the show was much more focused on Trump and Hillary, which was a very funny election at the time and drew a lot of people. Now everyone who listens to it is really just doing it out of habit. There are much better shows.
Matt's departure really hurt it. I listened to it mostly for Matt's analysis. Felix and Will are nice foils but in Matt's absence dead weight. They don't say anything particularly insightful.
Yeah, Matt was definitely my favorite, then Amber honestly. Felix is funny most of the time with his imaginative bits, but can go a bit off the rails in a not endearing way at times. Meanwhile Will is the serious show-runner, trying to keep everything on track, but never adding much in terms of content.
Amber.
