Episode 137 - HUMINT Centipede (8/29/17)
Added 2017-08-30 00:03:43 +0000 UTCAmber's back, but still sick. We talk about the Texas flood, the Mensch Files, and read another selection of Dear Prudie. Lotta mispronounced words in this one.

Robert Aitken
2017-09-08 21:42:04 +0000 UTCI hate that dork so much. he was bad enough when he was just writing about comics
Robert Aitken
2017-09-08 21:41:30 +0000 UTCWorth it for the cold open. One of the more inspired in Chapo history.

2017-09-06 22:25:07 +0000 UTCNot sure I like Matt in the studio - part of the appeal was his being the angry uncle who couldn't quite hear what was going on, and lived on the edge of apoplexy.

2017-09-06 20:51:22 +0000 UTCBut I support anything Rust Cohle

Carlos Morstti
2017-09-04 16:04:32 +0000 UTCFelix trying to explain how he definitely has more than three accents. 💯
Angelica
2017-09-04 15:37:02 +0000 UTCEric Holthaus is another person to consider for a potential episode re: climate change.

jwhy23
2017-09-04 03:43:43 +0000 UTCBenjamin Kunkel could be good shout for a climate change episode (see his piece the capitalocene in the LRB)

2017-09-03 14:42:45 +0000 UTCLong ago, before she deactivated her twitter, Amber mentioned in passing that she was once married, though not for very long. She and the guy were both very young. She said it was a nice - maybe she said fun? - part of her life, but she has no regrets or sorrow about the relationship not lasting. Anyhoo, that's what I recall...

2017-09-03 06:56:45 +0000 UTCmissed the best part of the submarine story - the dude was also building a literal rocketship
Ian Epps
2017-09-03 00:20:21 +0000 UTCSo glad Amber is back, no what's Virgil up to
CJ Canton
2017-09-02 03:57:38 +0000 UTC69th premium episode. Very nice.

2017-09-01 22:08:46 +0000 UTCAmber is the shit.
Mailman Paul
2017-09-01 13:28:36 +0000 UTCsoooo happy amber is back 🙌
Lindsey
2017-08-31 20:51:47 +0000 UTCWait wait wait wait wait... Amber used to be married? Was that an irony? Never heard anything about that before.
Yung Pattawan
2017-08-31 06:05:21 +0000 UTCIt definitely has
jared k

hyder
2017-08-31 04:41:27 +0000 UTCActually, Grover is a nice 19th century name for a girl, not so much in US
Bunker Hill
2017-08-31 02:24:29 +0000 UTCI wanted to know if anyone named their daughter Polk. No they have not, but they have done much worse things - and so has their daughter.
Bunker Hill
2017-08-31 02:17:31 +0000 UTCHi guys! Just fyi if you want help researching a climate change episode, I have been working in the energy/infrastructure industries for 6 years and would be happy to contribute!
Obie Reynolds
2017-08-31 02:16:25 +0000 UTCI hope you are proud of yourself

2017-08-31 01:13:34 +0000 UTCI googled a reference from Prudie and then this appeared an my screen:

2017-08-31 00:18:12 +0000 UTCI went through these and was gonna be concerned if no one did it

max viesel
2017-08-30 20:55:35 +0000 UTCFelix getting cut off mid-"imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff" explanation was precious.
Engro
2017-08-30 20:15:43 +0000 UTCI was just thinking that. I KNOW I've heard it before...
Alex Benningfield
2017-08-30 19:37:23 +0000 UTCno, I have heard those jokes before from them...
jv
2017-08-30 18:56:16 +0000 UTCHell yeah, I remember the Zybourne Clock, the Goon RPG. Felix forgot the "Time works the same way" punchline.

Jesse Solomon
2017-08-30 18:22:36 +0000 UTCHasn't the daughter-names thing been read before?
andrewzetek
2017-08-30 17:45:59 +0000 UTCYikes, that would suck. It never bothered me until that first time going to a bar that still allowed smoking after having lived in a smoke-free place for years. How hilariously pointless were smoking and non-smoking sections in restaurants in retrospect?
Chris Randall
2017-08-30 17:36:53 +0000 UTCPlease please pleaaaase do more dear prudy
Tyler Kurth
2017-08-30 17:31:10 +0000 UTCFor me not even the Herzl bit tops that time she tried to own Russia with Leonard Cohen's Americanness
philip podolsky
2017-08-30 17:29:08 +0000 UTCNick's influence on Brendan's episode descriptions is Chapo canon
philip podolsky
2017-08-30 17:26:01 +0000 UTCBeing a child in the 80's/90's who was allergic to cigarette smoke, I can confirm that it sucked going to smokers' houses or restaurants for that matter.
Thomas
2017-08-30 17:19:40 +0000 UTCThe best part was Amber hacking up a lung right after her impassioned defense of smoking indoors
Chris Randall
2017-08-30 17:05:05 +0000 UTCLook, you all are talking shit about the tech billionaires, but you aren't ready for how many murdered nosy house cleaners you can fit under the maintenance panels of the West Coast Hyperloop.

2017-08-30 17:04:55 +0000 UTCTFW I listen to chapo 2 get through the day at my graphic design job
andrewzetek
2017-08-30 16:29:50 +0000 UTCI'm glad Matt chimed in with the smoking take.
Thomas
2017-08-30 16:06:18 +0000 UTCIt's Muad'Dib, not Maud'Dib... though Maude'Dib would be a decent alteration, I guess.
Igor Calija
2017-08-30 16:05:58 +0000 UTCI think Will shared that column on Twitter sometime ago.
Thomas
2017-08-30 16:04:19 +0000 UTChi I'm new here
Ivan
2017-08-30 16:01:07 +0000 UTCamber's been married?
Jesse C
2017-08-30 15:38:35 +0000 UTCI hope Nick keeps popping up in the background the way Amber does on Cum Town

ghvghvgh
2017-08-30 15:11:39 +0000 UTCThanks for the shoutout! The weather isn't as bad here in Louisiana as it is Texas, but yeah, we've been hit with some strong winds and minor flooding. It's just been crazy bipolar. Also, you can order Surge on Amazon but I have seen it cheaper it some stores.

2017-08-30 14:57:25 +0000 UTCI want to apologize for graphic designers here
Aaron Bagley
2017-08-30 14:13:08 +0000 UTCI had that same deja-vu with the birthday Prudy question. I know I've heard that somewhere before, and I coulda sworn it was on Chapo (but I don't care enough to check)
Cliffie Mathieson
2017-08-30 14:11:55 +0000 UTCthis ep made me so happy
Allyson D
2017-08-30 14:08:16 +0000 UTCHe said n a twitter feed that Amber supports misogyny.

Kevin Beteta
2017-08-30 12:58:45 +0000 UTCThey have done Prudy in the past, but tonight the questions were new
g
2017-08-30 06:44:23 +0000 UTCGet Leigh Phillips on the show. Austerity Ecology is the best book about the environment I've read in a long, long time.
Jonas Kyratzes
2017-08-30 06:42:40 +0000 UTCYeah I swear I've heard that one before as well, maybe it was on another podcast?
Jondog
2017-08-30 06:41:20 +0000 UTCGreat episode

2017-08-30 06:40:07 +0000 UTCThe lesson ten-year-old Felix took from Gosford Park slew me.

2017-08-30 04:49:26 +0000 UTCWhat did he do now?
Bryan Cox
2017-08-30 04:40:48 +0000 UTCPlease, Derek. That game had a family.

2017-08-30 02:40:33 +0000 UTCTFW when Felix pronounces Louise like Luis.

Jordan Cunningham
2017-08-30 01:53:57 +0000 UTCThe submarine story sounds like the plot of a season of The Bridge
Eamonn Curley
2017-08-30 01:47:25 +0000 UTCWhen the object enters the timestream, time begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff. Time works the same way.

2017-08-30 01:45:44 +0000 UTCIt works!

Ben Handshue
2017-08-30 01:02:14 +0000 UTCYou know Louise will rim you and tell you how naughty you were
Mollah all about that life
2017-08-30 00:53:04 +0000 UTCIs Amber going to be OK? It seems like she's been sick for a while.
