Matt will forever have my heart. Us treat boys need to stick together.

Christman is my favorite intellectually and idea wise.

How long has Matt been your favorite?

Mine too. He shares my same generalist love of history and desire to parse out how it has unfolded, which in turn led me to Marxism. I wish I had a friend like that in real life to talk to about the stuff Matt has discussed. I just sound insane talking to the random people I encounter everyday about this stuff.

Since I first listened to the pod. He's crazy smart and has such an excellent knowledge of fascism and history. Shame what happened to him though, especially with a newborn on the way.

If it helps at all, he’s the only actually existing chapo (rip Virgil) who could still function after a stroke. Imagine Felix after one, no hope whatsoever.

Now I'm imagining a really old Felix in a nursing home with dementia talking about de_dust2 to a houseplant.

The final season of chapo.

I finally stopped listening to the podcast altogether after he got sick

Tbh Felix still manages to get a few good laughs out of my every episode
