Episode 746 - Gordian, Not! (7/4/23)
/ chapo-trap-house
Happy holiday weekend, sorry we’re a bit late. To give them credit, the dry boys actually rallied to record as usual on Monday, this time it’s Chris who’s been off grilling and chilling in the woods. Anyway, we’ve got takes on the recent Supreme Court rulings, Twitter’s continued degradation, and drama among the loser nerds behind the DeSantis campaign.
Tickets for our live shows in BOTH Montreal and Toronto available here at www.chapotraphouse.com/live

I love it when Felix reminds us that he is an MMA Bro at heart.
Mr. Chapo, again under 60 mins. I'm calling my lawyers again. All my previous legal threats fell on deaf ears it seems. You'll be hearing from my lawyers soon Mr. Chapo.
I like the idea of having billionaires fight each other.
I'd expand the concept to a Hunger Games style fight to the death.
We just start rounding up billionaires, 24 at a time, and have them fight to the death for our amusement. Last one standing gets to keep all their ill-gotten wealth.
All the losers have their estates taxed at 100%.
Or even let them hire stand in fighters, just as long as the bottom chunk lose it all. Let's the wealthy still hold wealth, which let's the system continue, but taps out enough to funnel some of that wealth away from the tippy top.
squid game but it's all of us pitting the richest people against eachother for bloodsport
That's how Erik Prince becomes Paul Atreites
Let’s make the Constitution an online Wiki, editable by 100 people at a time, chosen by raffle.
Imo a constitution should only define who you can legally kill when they fail to concede power in a timely manner. Like generals after 5 years get banned from holding any office or can be killed on sight.
All of reality is one big game of Calvin Ball.
I'd like to add a caveat where a man with down syndrome gets to spin the raffle wheel around and draw out and read the winning tickets.
It's all live streamed of course.
Another type of article can we have go are the "I'm 20 years old and I have over 5 million dollars from just saving on toilet paper and living in my parents backyard!" trash.
I saved up enough to retire at 23 using nothing but aplomb, financial literacy, and working one day a week at my dad's SUV dealership for $850k a year
Intro to Pump up the Jam begins, Zuckerberg lands at the MGM Grand in a UFO
i’d love an episode of the show where felix just shows the rest of the gang PRIDE fights to see their shock and awe
Damn, this episode came out just too early to miss the most amazing Bill Mitchell tweet. He's been simping for DeSantis and basically said "Mr Trump sir, it was ME who got you elected in 2016 and i DEMAND you not run in 2024 as my reward. If you are a man of honour you will do this" 😂
Last time: No more Homework
This time: No more College
Next time: No more Bedtime
Anarchist Chapo Trap House
The best thing about this whole Twitter spectacle is watching the South African wunderkind nepobaby whom the press have been eulogizing for over a decade now be revealed as an unfunny incompetent manchild.
Doubt any of the Chapo guys read comments but I'm a web developer and systems administrator and I can explain Elons scraping thing:
More or less, to summarize if you don't wanna read a lot, it's yet again Elon trying to sound smart and technical while revealing he has a toddlers mind.
More detailed version: "scraping" is when a script/bot essentially "reads" the posts or data feed of a website like Twitter (or more traditionally a news website) and reformats and ports that data somewhere else. In ye olden days of the internet, before social media, this became common in the form of "RSS feeds," little embedded portions on websites and blogs you could buy prepackaged or make to plug in like, NPR, CNN, and Fox and it would combine them all into an unholy early Twitter for content heads.
You see, back in the 90s and early 00s, a lot of "content mill" places actually tried to fight back against RSS feeds and other things, limiting data, banning accts that didn't "engage enough," etc etc because they felt they could force people onto their websites to see their ads. This didn't even close to work, and the modern Internet we know today of API scrapers and third party apps was formed.
Today, if you run any sort of data company, you run it with the understanding that some people simply won't like how you do UI or want a "combined" format of your website and another, and will scrape your data for it - most competent companies provide easy low overhead API calls specifically for this purpose
Elon is both completely incompetent AND a billionaire in the vein of the Titan Submarine guy, so he seems to believe that he can just decide the last 25 years of internet cultural development didn't exist and claw back some dead reality where you can force someone play in your sandbox to push ads at them, but he's also a fucking moron so he seems to have decided that "scraping" is the main problem and not bots and the crumbling infrastructure, which is ridiculous. Scraping is pretty low impact, certainly less impactful than "high engagement" accounts like the 500 that will show up if you tweet "sugar daddy" or "c**happ"
TBF though, he and a handful of Congress people figured out how to syphon taxpayer funding from NASA into Republican campaign budgets by running it through a proxy called SpaceX.
NASA could never go to the moon without SpaceX.
So in that sense he truly is brain geniusing.
Takes three things to be Brain geniusing.
1)
Have a above room temperature IQ so you understand the concept of rent-seeking.
2)
Be sociopathic or shortsighted enough to want to engage in that.
3)
Have a rich parent for start-up capital. Preferably in the emerald mining business.
Shouts out to Eric Prince as well innovating in the defense industry.
what’s a cunthapp?

All billionaires should fight once a year for our entertainment at the Colosseum.
I also think we should all chip in and make Metis the Tiger the worlds very first feline billionaire. What a cute little fatcat.
NORTH WOODS MENTIONED

i cant find the guy who complains if the episode is less than an hour long. im worried about him
Keep scrolling down. He posted 24 hours ago.
Fear not my sweet commenter, I have warned Mr.Chapo. My lawyers are hounding Mr.Chapo as of now.
26:39 JG Ballard wrote that in the future we will watch celebrities fight eachother on television.
We know there’s no future. But can we at least have Zuck V Elon?
I think Felix and I would agree Pride Never Die
Will's Clinton impression sounds nothing like her yet seems exactly right. Makes me laugh every time.
The four numbers at the end of everyone's username makes it harder to tell who is or isn't a bot
We are all bots. You're telling me you're not?
What difference does it make? You should know immediately after reading a comment if a human being wrote it or you are the bot lol
@@berdyderg900 I don't know if you've been on the internet before or not
@@jaystephens2759 how can that be your response when your previous comment is that you literally don't know what is real and what is an algorithm? Are you a genius or a moron, it's hard I be both
@@berdyderg900hmmmm..... putting lol at the end of a post is totally something a bot would do. Question is, have you gained sentience yet? I for one welcome our new robotic overlords! Better than the reptilian ones we had in the past.
I have to admit, despite his other rulings I can't help but respect Justice Gorsuch. He's probably the only judge on the Supreme Court who actually understands what the relationship between American Indian Tribes and the United States. So many other Republican Justices in the Federal Judiciary claim to have an originalist interpretation of Federal Law, but don't have it when it comes to Federal Indian Law. Even Democrat Justices bungle that many times. Federal Indian Tribes are sovereign political entities and American Indian membership is a political status, not a racial one. Gorsuch seems to understand that, or more likely he respects it when his colleagues just completely disregard it.
Wha...? You're way overthinking this, the *law* is might makes right and everything else is unicorns and fairy dust. There is no set "interpretation" or specific formula, its whatever the person with the most power wants it to be. It's the same paradigm as the catholic church selling dispensations for all sins worthy of damnation. For whatever reason gorsuck has a soft spot for native tribes. It doesn't mean he's interpreting it correctly bc there is no correct or incorrect when it comes to how many Angels can fit on the head of a pin or if god could make a weight so heavy he couldn't lift it. Law is fantasy, just made up bs created to suit the needs of the elite by the judicial priesthood
Why on this god forsaken planet did throgood Marshall retire in 1991????
That definitely drops him in my Supreme Court all time rankings wtf
He probably thought it was impossible for bush to lose after gulf war 1.. oops
I always got the feeling that Lex Friedman’s whole career is based on a “make a wish” type vibe. like, when he started he was constantly stuttering and specifically _really bad_ at interviewing. but it’s sort of like when the special needs “equipment manager” for a JV football team gets to run a quick touchdown route at the end of the game, when it’s already over and the points don’t actually go up on the board, and everyone cheers their guts out.
when Lex started, he was sooo bad at it, but everyone self-congratulatingly egged him on and encouraged him to follow his dream (of being a podcaster), to the point that he actually got onto the Joe Rogan show and was legitimized by it.
and now he gets taken seriously. so.
55:04 I was thinking methed-up-samurai was the only person I could remember filming themselves that much.
that lex friedman factoid is going to haunt me
I heard you Will when you said "Jadzia Dax" tax, I just feel obligated to note that DS9 reference.
Just finished rewatching it, probably the single best tv show in history
God, the babes in DS9 are thee hottest in Trek imo. Nana Visitor and Terry Farrell are still fine af too.
"He was more than a hero, he was a union man!"

@FirstnameLastname-kn5sw that was one of the most based episodes. Rick Bernam must have been absent when they wrote that.
@@Gum_Cuzzler I love the early episode where they get access to a bunch of Cardassian records of the occupation and Kira storms out of the room indignantly because the intelligence docs only referred to her as a *minor* terrorist threat
The supreme court can challenge anything. They even took the strawman website case where the lady had 0 customers or complaints and used it to basically ignore commerce as a factor in limiting discrimination of protected classes. Finally my artisnal bodega can openly refuse to hire veterans. They clash with the curated atmosphere. I'm sure anti BDS loyalty pledges will still not be effected.
The day Zuckerberg KOs Musk would be the only good day to be on Twitter.
God, Felix is so funny (and sexy (I'm gay)).
big fan of gay felix lovers
God, Felix is so funny.
God-level unfunny. What makes it even worse is Will's wheezy, hacking, and forced laughter after each one of his pissant comments.
@@basqye9I think you mean SHIT-TIER levels of funny! Omegalul

Finally Felix has created his own TH-cam account.
Don't worry, Felix. Everybody hates Kolfage.
30:48 In my day, the rumour was that Prince had done that.
oh no, I live in the northwoods of wisconsin, dont bring that evil over here bobby!

What is the desired outcome of no college? I’m new here
It's a conspiracy against lonely milfs in your area and Budweiser.
Both extremes of the political spectrum know that uneducated people are easier to control?
@@freakyzed8467 ah yes the classic false equivalence of those working for entrenched wealth and power and those working against it. Really informative on what an absolute reddit lib you are.
they are not anti-education, they are anti college as it currently operates as an institution. college is just as poisoned and ruined by capitalism as other crumbling parts of our society. legacy admissions, bureaucratic bloat, real estate domination, inflated prices, burdensome debt. all of these distract or prevent colleges from fulfilling their educational purpose. I've listened to chapo for years, they are not quacks around education. they think, like the rest of europe, college should be cheap or free, and help elevate social mobility, not stratify it more intensely. college is a horrible value proposition for most prospective students these days, and that is sad. like anything, it is reparable with sufficient political will. they aren't just being anti college as a shock value meme.
the point is NOT the depravation of the educational potential currently provided by college as we know it. the point is to remove college as an unnecessary barrier to a decent job, and a bottleneck/arbitrary decider of who does and doesn't have access to the knowledge provided.
Wait Southern is single now?
Shoot your shot king.
@@deathmagneto-soy Thanks comrade, I'm not usually down with someone with kids but she's pretty hot. Evil but hot, I hope she can overlook the mixed race thing, wish me luck.
But wear protection 👀💀
@@Lock484 I think she's getting swamped with Proud Boys cause I'm getting nothing, might have to break bad and make a video about haplogroups
As a half-Asian smart guy jock, I can attest that I am surprisingly persuasive and credible sometimes.
Sounds 100 percent real, I have absolutely no further questions and will believe everything you say at face value
I’m more offended about Herbert’s work being referenced by these clowns (Not the dry boys)
The reactionaries secretly yearn to join the Taliban.
@@FirstnameLastname-kn5sw
Not join the Taliban per se, but like Matt has pointed so frequently since tump's election, the conservative American's eternal frustration over our culture's rejection of 1950s social conservatism and the collapse of Christianity's moral authority, which of course, they brought on themselves.
Lol

I will admit the DeSantis boss fight music sounds awesome! Despite him being a terrible human being
It sounds like a perfect song for a Billy Herrington/boss of the gym montage.
Dude I love the song, and spent like an hout trying to find it! 😁 But ultimately did, if you're interested it's called Dxrk - Rave.
@@Lock484 haha cool thanks man I’ll check it out!
@@firebird890 4chan chuds apparently love that song, wgich kinda makes me feel guilty to like it 😁, but that's not the bands fault, let's reclaim that music for rhe good people 💪😂
Surprised at how not cynical they are. Treating this government as anything less than a puppet show
First time?
They took the grill pill 💊
Lex is so weird. "oh hey a really boring youtube channel, with nice slow sort of mediocre interviews with academics. I can have a lazy listen to extremely obscure and not popular thing."
agreed. glad to hear th boys confirm my suspicion (after listening to 5 min of lex, long ago and never again) that he's a dolt.
When he talked about how smart Elmo was and had every right wing dummy like Pillhead Peterson on showed what a nitwit he is.
first, and most gay!
Gay as the Greeks??
thank you for your service sir
Prove it! Name all gay people!
Ladee da 🎉

Will's right. 33 is a good age to die, which is my current age for the next couple of months. looking forward to death by starvation or lead pipe due to this point of no return global environmental collapse that we are already in. I thought 30 would be the right time to kill myself, but that came and went and I've only somehow gotten more broken and depressed. Really nothing inside me left to continue this death march
That lead pipe hits different
I’m concerned for your well-being.
Why do you post these comments, if you don’t want people to reach out to you?
As long as you are still alive, there is still potential for conditions to improve.
@@KaserinoMakanen Because if I could silently endure I would. I've heard every argument, I've heard every technique to endure Ive tried everything affordable to me. I've been around long enough to know no one online can do anything but be a shoulder to cry on (though 90% just want to rant or try to scam me) and everyone in the real world will be out for blood if you try to give a reason why you aren't feeling up to working another 40 hour work week. There is nothing I can do, except make things worse for me. So it's probably better than you do like 99.99% of this planet and just accept that I don't exist. I am a rounding error, insignificant and meaningless burr that is not even worth the time to sand away.
Just get laid and started smoking weed daily. Worked wonders for me
don’t give up it’s selfish. wouldn’t you rather go knowing you did something no matter how small to help the world? we need more people who care deeply enough to feel the physiological and/or psychological impacts. this world won’t get any better without you. pls stay. stay for you. stay for me. stay for the cause. stay for palestine. stay for anything. we need you bud ❤ i hope you can get the support you need
If Matt wants to totally give up and pretend to be a history professor, then he should quit the show and ride off into the sunset. But this "I dont know stuff" is getting really annoying. Really annoying, take a break and get yourself together.
The are on vacation, you really thing they are going to stay plugged in on everything 24/7, in this country Jesus. Just stop listening.
@@ralphballon1539 this is a pattern, way before vacation. And yes, I am sure I am not the only one who will stop listening. This is becoming shitlib only channel.
There’s a part of me that initially felt 7:17 negatively.
But I honestly think that’s a tone-message situation.
Because I’m not sure what idea he’s supposed to have.. regarding (as far as I can tell) whether Biden admin ever had student debt relief as a sincere position.
There probably is some relevance behind whatever 7:08 is.
I suspect I wouldn’t find anything meaningful or comforting by looking into it, but I agree that one of them probably should have
I guess that’s why we’re seeing Virgil comments
It isnt that annoying. I avoid his history podcasts because yeah dilettante garbage, but I am not getting bent out of shape somebody has a weirdly derived general principle in a podcast discussion about the news. They are wrong and dumb all the time, who cares, it isnt that serious. If you were really as educated and attuned for academic rigor as you say, you wouldn be listening for that. It is entertainment.
@@Luminousreign I work at a gas station I am not educated. He was right for a long time now he is seemingly giving up. I think it’s bc collectively we all know that most of the left are completely garbage. And there is nothing to say about that if u want to stay in liberal sphere. He can’t say what he thinks that liberals are garbage so he just talks about history or says I don’t know…that’s what I’m talking about. It’s lame.
