Good God. Please put a content warning before playing that much potato-headed Hannity ranting.

Felix dude you deserve an award for this work

HiTekLoLyfe

Jesus hearing Limbaugh took me back. This was worth joining the Patreon thank y’all for what you do.

Saviourself

This series is fire! Keep it up Felix.

Alex Weber

I know that we are all hog people whose opinions don’t matter but I want to say that this is great. Thank you to all involved!

GnarlyRaeJetson

Some very much so but even the stuff in the 2000s. I’ve never heard of some these dudes. Guess that’s the point of the series tho

Jason Coker

Too young to remember all this?

GnarlyRaeJetson

I’m rocking with this series but some of these people sound so made up dude

Nick

Roger Peet

Excellent

Zeebes

Felix‘s knowledge of early 2000s Indie rock to get you laid on display.

Chuck Skooch

it's just 100mph jokes/facts. It's better suited as a book to be fair

buttface

I am a good listener but this is really difficult to follow 😕

Marisa

I choked when the smiths started playing

David Andrews

This is excellent work, Felix - great topic, well explained and entertaining. Kudos to you.

Carolyn

Really enjoying this great job Felix and team!

ScottB

Loving this series so far, two great episodes

Aaron Dinga

Damnnn i completely forgot we used to call him shrub

DJC583

Accidentally clicked ahead when I first opened this just to hear "And here he was, in front of an audience, calling SpongeBob gay." Let's go

Eric Gilbertson

Look into the new podcast Fourth Reich Archeology for more details - they are currently doing a deep dive on the members and assemblage of the Warren Commission.

Matthew Krueger

I knew not his provenance, but hearing this I was like "well, of course"

Matthew Krueger

Days later and I'm still chuckling to myself about it

iceland

I love these Felix eps and hope he does more Ppl are remembering the inebriated past with rose tinted glasses Matt is the goat but Felix still did a great job here

Ghordo

After listening to Roger Ailes' hatecrime in 1989, one can't help but despair that there WASN'T anyone throwing bombs into his little fucking executive suite

The Fine Art Revolution

Can’t tell if I have brain rot or if Felix has brain rot, but it’s impossible for me to follow the plot in these

Kvvvy

I am but a loyal hog and a felix special series is my favorite slop

You will be named in my suicide note Hardcore Virgin

concernedmom420

Great ep, ngl first one was pretty dry and weirdly edited

Nicholas Johnson

Some people say it like "pews" and others say it like "blues".

Hardcore Virgin

I’m not kidding when I say I’ve been thinking about this comment for a whole day. Like how? How did the context not help? Stuff like “Shrubs” re election in 2004 hinging on winning Ohio etc.

etienne

btw I can't believe this never came up on the show but go read Up, Simba by David Foster Wallace to get more premium McCain 2000 vibes

Ascetic Blur

Absolutely excellent Felix. Thank you.

Troy DeCarolis

Don't cry for me, we're already Fren.

etienne

1h03, amazing to hear conservatives having a purity politics arm wrestle among themselves

Leonardo Restrepo

He'll do some extremely protracted reference or analogy to Entourage or Kevin Sorbo and then talk about Aime Cesaire's imperial boomerang

Matthew

We love elevated slop 🧐

Jason Coker

"Were you in the yard with your wife and children" Bitch it was like 9am on a school day.

Colin S

Love the Don Hertzfeld-esque vibe with the music

FA

Yeah man poor helpless Hesse getting tricked into being "typecasted" by Felix. Shut the fuck up man, stop acting like she has no agency. If you listened to 1 episode of seeking derangements your head would explode.

Zackary Kelley

Re-upping just for this series Felix man Felix is the man

Khemith

Felix is alot looser in this episode.

Instantdumbass

🙌

Agent Grange

No, just the opposite. I just feel that perhaps typecasting her as an AIDs victim being hatecrimed was perhaps a creative choice that I would have avoided for obvious reasons.

Eamon Short

Why not? Am I out of the loop? Has she done or said some sus shit? I don't Lister to her podcast but I love her on Movie Mindset

boo

designing women lmao. will never forget the heated quayle v. murphy brown flap

Eamon Short

It's funny, on Chapo I always think of Felix as "the funny one". Then he does stuff like this and fighting in the age of loneliness and I'm like "oh yeah, that's right he's really fucking smart"

Alex

If I don’t here Future’s “I serve the base” at some point in this series I’m going to set myself on fire in front of the Freebandz offices

gamerunknown

Mr. Chapo would you do a viewing series on Frankie Boyle's New World Order

Kamran Husain

the tunes went very hard great work all around tho

Ben Thelen

"Bush's unorthodox New York infrastructure plan" is an all time IMHO

Ben

Branson

J Fitz

“Roger Ells”

Jbabesauce

Makes so much more sense now lol

T

Shrub as a synonym for a bush. It was kind of like a 2003 version of Drumpf.

Agent Grange

Now me, Felix? I would not have made Hesse be the voice of the AIDS activist, personally.

Ben Thelen

We love The Band don't we folks

Woods Edge Builders Collective

this is actually a flow state for his inability to pronounce the long A

Austin Williams

W, Bush JR, little Bush. Bush era Drumpf thing.

The True Horror

It was the "cheeto" or "orange man" of it's era and we all thought it was clever as fuck lol

Jbabesauce

What does SHRUB stand for? He uses it so many times around 40-50 mins in but I missed the first mention

Margot Marisol

the "float on" instrumental after the eliot spitzer joke sent me.

demonsweat

HR Alderman lol

Noahjon marshall

lol stop….

cuttino mobley

*karaoke keyboard jangle* El-vi-raaa

The True Horror

Oh hell yeah

rafy hay

He's been calling Bush "Shrub", as a joke.

Austin Williams

Did not know Kentucky had a senator on the Church Committee

SM21

solid series, writing flows nicely

Yung Dumpernickel

Narrator was Charles from E1

krumping4

hearing the word "news" so many times made me realize it's the plural of "new" and i hate it even more

Jack

The "Girlfriend in a Coma" drop absolutely took me out

Leonardo Restrepo

Did you steal my middle school iPod nano? These needle drops, Jesus

Man2quilla

I'm too mentally ill for this, lmao

Josh O'Shields

South Ossetia is an ace combat ass conflict name

Franklin Shepard Inc.

free my boi luigi so he can enjoy this yummy yummy informative slop with us

Podcast subscriber 78

Felix starts speaking at 0:41.

Noahjon marshall

this is good but is it just me or are there some times when the names bush and trump are swapped? it happened a few times in the first ep too. in this ep he said trumps dad in 2000 or something like that…good info but clean tiny but important details up

Samuel McGuire

That’s too 🔥 of a logo not to sell some tshirts..

J O T

Hesse ate down. She almost died reading that shit

FA

I will never tire of Felix's ability to bring up Nude Barber, maybe the funniest running bit in chapo history

Rohmer Simpson

Zazlav????? This episode is chock a block with jump scares. Zazlav for fucksake.

"...the human equivalent of a rescue dog trained to bark at Black people." 😭

David James

“…one of the defining moments of white on white racism of the early 21st century.” 🤣

Willm

S2g Virgil did a couple of those voices 👀

Cullen S

Was that Chris as the narrator during the Roger Ailes story?! Between that voice and a surprise Hesse drop I was giggling a lot this morning lol

Synney

the E1 boys!!!!

Waffle Poet

These are a lot of fun to listen to, Mr. Biederman. Your writing is as humorous as it is informative. I’ve been on these demons for decades, but I flatly overlooked Koppel. I presume Mr. Wade chose Smetena's Má Vlast (Vltava) for the Ailes segment. This is both offensive to so-called “Czechia”, which is good, and reminded me that I need to watch Tree of Life again, which is better.
