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

[–] FearsomeJoeandmac@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

The final season of chapo.

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah I'm not renewing after this year (I did the year sub for the discount)

[–] Yeat@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Katherine made a joke about her being the nepo girlfriend of the show but I'm 99% sure that Will is the nepo girlfriend and she's trying her damnedest to limit the amount she outshines him. I mean I obviously love Will but now that Kath has taken out Matt with the CIA stroke gun she is the undisputed Mr Chapo.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The girlfriends pod was actually really fun way back, obviously they're short one in particular...

will menaker has always made me think he looks like if a fantasy style giant was hit with a shrink ray and now he's just a normal sized guy

And also, Volcel Police. For OP

EDIT: I said Volcel Police

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Only those blessed by the Sword of Volcelimus can call the Volcel Police

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Like the drug lord?

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

found Kath's secrete hexbear account

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Didn’t she allude to knowing about us in a recent episode?

[–] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

I thought they were just joking about the old sub

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Nooooo, I thought she was talking about the blackwolffeed sub

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

No, he annoys me for some reason

[–] Red_Sunshine_Over_Florida@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I can't read a NYT opinion blurb without reading it in his voice. It's not Will per say but, he does a great job of making people like David Brooks into people who you want to put in a stockade and throw pies at.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Virgil was the only one of the chapos who really did anything for me, I think. Idk I can't recall what Amber looks like, never saw her enough to form that kind of opinion.

Live action Fozzie Bear

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

Wake me up when there are Womenaker.

[–] AmericaDeserved711@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

his girlfriend probably

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Nah, nobody else can stand how he says RAHther

[–] StalinStan@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

You just know he gives a reasonable weinering but surprisingly extremely good hand jobs.

[–] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago
[–] autism_2@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

A podcaster?

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He's got kind of a "The Dude" vibe going these days, with the longer hair and greying facial hair, that I actually don't hate, but I wouldn't say I'm personally very attracted to it/him no.

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Too masculine for my taste, but I think the Main 5 are all pretty good looking.

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

I initially read this as "Merkel" and had to do an incredibly disgusted double-take.

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's the only person in the group I'm not attracted to. Felix takes top spot but only cos we could talk about vibeo games

[–] FearsomeJoeandmac@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Stay Away from vidya. You aren't worthy to play them

[–] flan@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

i cant say the fuzzy dnd nerd look does it for me

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I'm het but I think Will is remarkably ugly.

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

I’m bi and he has negative attraction from both sides. Despite this, he isn’t ugly enough a decent personality couldn’t salvage. Shame about his personality.
