Chapo? like the gangster?

[–] Salah@hexbear.net 6 points 12 hours ago

What is a chapo trap house?

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 3 points 10 hours ago

I used to, then I slowly realized these people are not even making slop that I like, so I stopped. They sometimes have good analysis of current events along with some crass jokes, but I un subscribed from the free feed a loooong time ago

Have listened to part of one episode of chapo once but otherwise never

I watched a few of the cushvlogs before it being video turned me off

I dabbled in listening to snippets or specific episodes years ago when they got started. Their episode on white defensiveness was an example of white defensiveness so I stopped listening. They get so excited over owning the libs they don't think about people who aren't cishet WASPs.

Never listened to a single episode because I'm not a lib.

There's a reason ive used this as the ~~shit~~posting sub since main was taken from us and it's not because I believe there to be a widespread respect for the podcast, especially since citations needed is our official podcast

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 2 points 14 hours ago

This does lead me to a separate question, why is the CTH comm's logo and banner a different podcast?

[–] xijinpingist@hexbear.net 3 points 14 hours ago

I thought that was the subreddit that got banned like /r/The_Donald did.

[–] Trying2KnowMyself@hexbear.net 9 points 18 hours ago

That’s the one with Nima Shirazi and Adam Johnson, right? There are 2 new news briefs I haven’t listened to yet.

[–] gramxi@hexbear.net 10 points 20 hours ago

I play an episode before bed and it puts me to sleep in 10 minutes

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

been listening pretty regularly since 2019, i skip maybe 1/4 episodes

ngl i do also sometimes revisit episodes, but mostly only the movie reviews

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Never listened to it regularly but listen[ed] to other podcasts in their orbit. Probably a total of 20 episodes and a couple dozen clips on YouTube. Actually seen some decent clips in my yt feed lately

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 8 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Never have never will


[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 4 points 17 hours ago

I listen every few weeks if something in a title catches my interest or they've got a good guest. I'll listen to Matt and Chris's Hell pods any time day or night, though

[–] SirSmoothAES@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 19 hours ago

No, I only joined this community because I understood it to be communist or pretty leftist anyway. I'm an ignorant fool otherwise.

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 3 points 16 hours ago

I listen to most episodes

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 8 points 21 hours ago

Used to listen, fell off about a year before Matt had his stroke.

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 4 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Fairly regular listener from about a year into its run, not as frequent now days. Still don't know what happened to Virgil, and I'm still not clear if Amber is part of the crew or not.

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 6 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

"Amber still gets a cut" is the most accepted theory as far as I know. She was on the 1000th episode too iirc

Functionally she retired in her early 30s and lives off podcast dividends for a show she barely bothered to show uo for. Livin' the dream.

Rarely these days. I do enjoy going back to listen to older movie/show reviews and reading series.

[–] SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net 5 points 20 hours ago

I briefly looked into them when the old sub still was a thing and decided i didn't vibe with them at all.

[–] cream_provider@hexbear.net 5 points 20 hours ago

you're not going to get many hexbear users to admit they listen to chapo. I do occasionally.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 6 points 21 hours ago
[–] DornerStan@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 18 hours ago

I think I listened to part of one episode with Brace, and then a lot of cushvlogs.

Feels like there's funnier comedy podcasts and more informative educational podcasts. But since I haven't listened to it that's not a real opinion lol

[–] regul@hexbear.net 3 points 19 hours ago

I listen to all the eps via the black wolf feed.

It's not as funny as it was when Matt was on, but I still enjoy it.

Lately I've been enjoying Trashfuture more.

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 2 points 18 hours ago

Define listen? To every podcast no. To the ones that sound interesting yes

[–] MarxMadness@hexbear.net 2 points 18 hours ago
[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 2 points 19 hours ago

I've never paid for it, I used to listen to every episode years ago when the pirate feed worked, now I'll listen if there's a particular topic/event/guest I'm interested in but I haven't listened to any of the newer paid episodes. I listen more to trueanon these days.

I'll still go back and listen to some older episodes/clips on YouTube but that's mostly background noise while I'm doing something else

[–] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 2 points 19 hours ago

I didn't listen to it for long enough to understand who was saying what, but I do appreciate when they're guests on other podcasts.

Once a week when the free one drops.

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 2 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

I never have but im a bit curious about it. I could throw on an episode while painting and see what I think about it.
