959 - The Bopper’s Lair (8/11/25)
🕑 Added 2025-08-12 06:17:50 +0000 UTCWe begin by reading the last will and testament of Anas al-Sharif, a 28-year-old journalist for Al-Jazeera that was among those slain in Gaza by Israel yesterday. We then resume our Epstein coverage, including a look at his Manhattan lair and celebrity dinner guests. Then, two pieces on venture capitalists driven insane by The Computer and a story by Pamela Paul on conservative women…with careers? Stick around until the end for another Stroke of Genius and a special announcement from Chris.

Would really love a printed collection of Matt’s poetry at some point

@41:35 "What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me? Into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly because I can't any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone's sake the scanners do better, because if the scanner sees only darkly the way I do, then I'm cursed and cursed again."

Matt’s poetry is consistently top notch.

On the getting a job thing, especially if you're rich, just learn a skill. If you're overflowing with creativity take a creative writing class or learn any medium through diligent self study. What's galling is the lack of taking responsibility. If you somehow have an insight into quantum mechanics then learn the physics neccessary to invoke that insight in its due specificity rather than merely regurgitating partially digested what has already been spitfed to you by people with jobs doing this. If you're being Neo'd from the Matrix in a way they haven't made a movie about yet write this down into allegory. Allow it to take on a life of its own so you can see how this system you're hypothesizing would work in theory and allow your longsuffering wife to have an insight into your world that isn't her just accurately describing it to you and you going "Nuh-uh" **Linear Recursion bro if you suscribed to Chapo just to narcissisticly dig into the replies of the comments of people talking to you as I know you did (and I can see you right now through the tape on your camera ;) then I have done you a great service by being mean to you in this way and you should give me money. I'll tell you how to flip the signal back $$$

Recursive Signal Inversion Bro sounds like he circling the wagons around a real idea but he needs to be refine his arguements by answering questions like "wtfdym" and "who's told you this" or "did you see anything you liked when I made you look at Indeed"

The Big Bopper was only on that fateful flight after “winning” a coin toss with Tommy Allsup who ended up on the cold tour bus along with Waylon Jennings who generously gave up his seat on the plane to Ritchie Valens who wasn’t feeling well.
