Update on Show Personnel

Blake Patraw

dog this post is seven months old

Forrest Taylor

"in order to pursue other creative projects" lol about that ...

Blake Patraw

nice how was the bussy

Blake Patraw

his whole life is an NDA lol

Blake Patraw

not to defend her but chompsky deserves a talking to he's got nothing on parenti, he embodies the lib version of revolution

Luccia Moira

suss

Thomas Jeffrey

:(

Agree with all of this.

Liz B

Figured. 😞

Liz B

Last show in LA Virgil spoke once and landed a perfect joke and then was on his phone for the rest of the time. I looked at what he was doing on Twitter during that time and he was answering some Twitter jeopardy bot account. Good for him

Lucas Marsh

can he come back yet

More Mike Recine now that a spots open.

Joe the Banker

He was the gayest one anyway...

Bad Faith really does kind of suck, in the same way that TYT and Twitter generally kind of suck, which is why I think it's going to be a huge success.

DS

I hope you made him sign a beast of an NDA

NYCM&AHole

I’m already emailing his wife as her current chiropractor

Not to be an ass but Bad Faith sucks ass

Joseph Mabrey

Knew there was a split ever since the last episode he was on he was introduced the same way as the guest. Hope he has success in his endeavors, but honestly don't think it's a smart move to throw his eggs in the BJG basket. Yes, she was Bernies National Press Secretary (Also kinda goofed on this), but she also lends credence to grifters like Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald. I tried to give Bad Faith a fair shake but can't listen anymore after the way she disrespected and yelled over Chomsky and Sam Seder.

Dan Whittaker

That's called bad faith podcast lol. More like bad takes, am i right?

Dan Whittaker

Aw bummer. He's always been a delight on Chapo but I appreciate the good work he's doing on bad faith

Corey Brickley

It's really sad that sometimes people who were considered part of your team leave you. Nevertheless, we wish him the best of luck!

VitAnyaNaked

I will never forget virgil steadying his cohost from tipping over during a certain election night stream. A beautiful gesture, to me. The new pod has had some great moments i hope it gets into stride

LP3

well, tits.

Alexander

That sucks, but I get it. Hearing him on Chapo the last year or so and hearing him on Bad Faith it's pretty clear that podcasting is taking a psychic toll on him and he'd be happier in more solitary activities. He was a great addition to the lineup and added a lot to the chemistry but he shouldn't do it if it's grinding on him the way it so clearly was, which I totally recognize as someone who also often feels the same "i don't like that go away i don't want to do that stop talking to me stop trying to make me talk or do things or like things" energy.

Jon Lyons

Gonna miss Virgil obviously. I tried my best with Bad Faith but the chemistry just doesn’t seem there and podcast chemistry is everything. Virgil felt like he was diametrically opposed to Matt at times but that’s good, you need that. Not sure if the differences strained too much into personal life. Would be unfortunate.

William Evans

Lol hes basically been gone for over a year already

T. S.

That blows, Virgil was the only thing connecting y’all to semi-mainstream reality, not totally relegated to a counter-culture corner of internet nerd. You’ve fucked up by letting him go. I’m guessing the rest of it will come down soon. Fun while it lasted, though.

Justin

Okay, now replace Virgil with Old Man Dave Anthony.

Antipaganda

Virgil does flirt better on his own podcast.

Antipaganda

I don't understand why the bisexual can't handle hosting two pods at once

Claire Casey

Would love to see him as a guest sometime and miss hearing Amber! You guys are great. Keep up the good work!

Jared Busch

The invocation of Michael Brooks's name in support of ftv in debate with Sam Seder has to be the low point of basic human decency in left discourse I've come across so far.

Bobby Volcano

Chapo 4 Lyfe. Blood in, blood out

W Alexander

Congrats on the professional, individual, and spiritual growth boys! I love bad faith. Hey anyone know how to level out audio? I can’t hear Virgil and BJG’s mic volume always sounds enhanced x10, then my ears start bleeding

Besand

Honestly, I've been subscribed to bad faith since jump street and it's fine, if kinda boring, and I like BJG, but on the rare occasions when Virgil does speak, he sounds like all the life and humor has been drained out of him. He just hasn't been the same since Bernie went down.

BL

RIP to a real one.

Unelectable Airwaves

Bad Faith is fine, I don't know why people have such strong feelings about it

orc

Damn, I'm sad.

I’m pissed the only one with stone cold drip outta the 5 of ya

We've lost our sexiest catgirl

AKorgar

Feels appropriate that I read this while white knuckling my way through my worst shit of 2021

KatrinaJadeHelm

As a Brit I’ll miss Virgil because he was the only one who ever questioned whether the right-wing, anti-immigration fuelled Brexit project was actually a good idea unlike you folks who seem to blame the EU for the miners strike, you Morning Star-brain-poisoned Stalinist weirdos! (Joking). (I’m not).

Rob Schofield

What will become of the beltway garage? bum dum dum dum, beltway garage (to the tune of “Beltway Garage Theme” by Christman and Texas)

Now there's only one girl left on the show and she barely shows up! So much for intersectionality.

Rhi Carter

i think amber is working on her book

jonah peters

RIP Virgil Texas, he died jerking off on the toilet like Antonin Scalia

hope it stays that way

Basil

I will be emailing Virgil about this

the pod needs another POC to save us from racism

Scott Neagle

this is news to exactly no one, tell us where the fuck Amber is

Scott Neagle

How many episodes in are they?

J.W.

in-joke about un-lubricated condoms

etienne

And then there were 4.

Drunk Millennial Parent

Does that mean we can finally email him?

Vito Di Stefano

You suck

Peter Boardman

Bit of a shame. Not gonna lie, Bad Faith Podcast is pure garbage.

brobrah

You could have just taken him off the payroll but kept his name on the sign and only paid him for guest appearances that way I could still pretend he never left.

Yinzer

Virgil will be missed, and has been. Please have him come back for a Table Top Game Theory, at the very least.

Daniel Comiskey

lol didn't this happen 3 months ago? congrats to Virgil

Zakir KH

I'll miss him ,and i'll miss the tabletop game specials the most

Kevin C

We haven’t heard from Amber since March.

Dan

I'm going to become racist now.

Paul

see you next game

brownlantern

I thought Felix quit the show when he disappeared for like 4 months and made like 2 appearances. I don't listen to Bad Faith, this is vague but I guess the fans have to respect their privacy.

Yusof Nazari

Best to all the show creators, including Virgil with his now announced (de jure, no longer de facto) departure. Life is Change, as Lao Tze noted long ago, so stuff like this happens. 1 of 6 members doesn't break a Gray Wolf movement, so I am still a subscriber who will stick with y'all . . . hope to see Amber start popping in from time to time again as well.

Mark Schneider

Really hope Virgil isn’t gonna pull a Rubin, that would break my heart.

Red Army Commando

Virgil ruled on the show and continues to rule on his own show. Only sad that I won't get to hear his incredible laugh as often. Looking forward to what comes next.

Looking at these comments and the situation overall, I would say this is very much like the split between the Left and Right Socialist Revolutionaries in Russia after the World War I. It should, of course, be clear which side is which. In this Patreon comment, I will...

James

godspeed bleep texas, off to beverage valhalla

Greasy_Jones

Hm. I will definitely be e-mailing Virgil about this, in addition to all other issues and topics related to Chapo Trap House and everything besides Chapo Trap House. Anyway, once they get rid of Amber and Chris it'll be back to the OG dry boys. Honestly I don't know what "dry boys" are and I barely know what "OG" means, but they sure are words that indicate Will, Felix, and Matt.

a clash of purple

Beltway garage for life 🤍 Virgil Texas for life. to the next chapter and beyond

After there was no mention from him or about him in the 500th episode it was very clear that he was gone and it was not amicable. Unfortunate but life goes on. BUT I WANT MORE AMBER I thought she might’ve gone too. Also Daniel Bessner and Derek Davison all the time

Fr33zy

There was a falling out, for sure.

Harley

pretty sure she's been busy working on her book that's coming out next year

Gabe

Can we still contact Virgil for show information, live schedule, and other Chapo-related items?

TheBigAristotle

lol

More cancel culture silencing white men. Look forward to hearing his epic takes on the JRE

This is what happens when you slash the show's drinks budget

Porblorbulon

Virgil was a bit of a nerd, am I right?

Brian Hurley

f

They’re making too much money and having too much fun to let it die

Unsubscribe you dork. Also it's very clear Virgil quit the show, they didn't kick him off lol

Seth

Or Call of Cthulhu :(

Niky

We can still email him with issues about the pod though, right?

Niky

Ridiculous prediction: Chapo are trying to figure out when and how the show will come to an end (my guess is episode 666.) The show started in a very different world and probably lasted longer and demanded more than anyone initially expected. Though awesome, it makes total sense to want to move on to new projects and directions that this podcast doesn't fit with. I hope y'all keep going, but if it's coming to an end in the next couple years, it's been a reliable touchpoint of sanity for a lot of us who never had this kind of media or political discussion in our respective areas. Good luck to Virgil and everyone, whatever might be on the horizon.

lubacious

Virgin l is in his feeling because they kept reminding him about his do-do ass ! Did you miss that point ?!

Incog Negro

It's normal for social movements on their ascedancy to attract opportunists motivated by personal gain rather than deep conviction. If and when those movements fail - as the Sanders movement did, which is not surprising or anyone's fault - those opportunists leave. This can be heartbreaking on a personal level because it can lead to a deep sense of personal betrayal, but it's a normal and healthy part of the long term vibrancy of social movements. Life goes on, and on the other side, whatever else, you know who your real homies are.

JK

Yes me too. More consistent Virgil content too!

Josh Williams

Wrong! Brie is amazing

Josh Williams

This is bs. Bring him back

Josh Williams

Virgil had plenty of great and funny moments on the show. Even if the breakup wasn't amicable, just gotta thank him for his time and wish him success and happiness in future endeavors.

Erik Wirfs-Brock

This is sad but I am glad the show officially said something

Miquella on HRT

Philipp K

Sorry to hear Virgil go, but I'm happy to hear it was on good terms. Having said that, if you have a need for someone to drink half of your water bottles and clog your toilets, I am available. Contact information in my profile. Good luck out there, Virgil!

Jonny confuse by corndog

Just to let the boys know - I am available, have many excellent opinions and stirring insights, I can impersonate several creatures, mom has been trained not interrupt me when I'm on the computer, I don't get incapacitating tummy aches any more, I can provide lots of references - which actually bizarrely all share the same phone number - but they're definitely not just me doing different voices, I am natural blond which is representation you have flagrantly never really bothered with, I am otherwise completely unemployable so I need some kind of gig in podcasting, I will do whatever demeaning job you most require me too, like spooning tofu & milk into Felix's gaping maws between sets and fetching things from the fridge, I can spell but I don't know how to write an invoice

Mizzy

This post and the comments depress me. It makes me sad to even support this show and I'm honestly very concerned to think what the show will become over the next 3 years. What is even the point of it anymore? Bernie isn't running again, there's no lefty in government besides him what is the purpose of this show? If it's to be funny then I'm all for it but if you are trying to get clout from other NY podcasts and their listenership by dropping Virgil .. it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, nothing really funny about it

pain

Alright I'm ready, just make that call and I'll take Virgil's spot.

Donald

Please continue to email Virgil about issues with the podcast though.

Fabricated

good luck Virgil. Hopefully he can visit and do some guest spots like the Beltway Garage.

socialist heretic

love to virgil and all chappies on da podcast

KC Green

Virgil died of covid in 2019, nice try.

Titivilis

Getting rid of one of the two funny people on the show. Hopefully chapo doesn't turn into just another leftist soapbox.

ADIFT

Hoping we get some beltway garage guest appearances come election time. God speed Virgil.

Yes.

Twitch Hunt!

What’s up with Homegirl Amber?

Duffy Doubter

The three best chapos. The three reliables.

Twitch Hunt!

was praying for one last beltway garage :(

If you don’t have him on occasionally as a guest we’ll know what’s really up. Sad.

Jason

Thanks for all the great Chapo shows Virgil! We love you buddy . Keep rocking baby

Roger Marks

good luck virgil homie!

dog stone

Amber is just writing a book right

orc

Good luck

Matthew Colgan

I checked the Chapo Twitter account and saw they've pinned "Beltway Garage: Reboot." An appropriate tribute to the lad, to whom I am extremely grateful for all the laughs and insight over the past few years. Long live Virgil, long live Chapo. Much love to all.

Nathan Gismot

Wow.

Everett Woolsey

Rip felix, he had a nice suit and bought my freind dinner one time

Clark D'Agostino

Extreme sadness

Why couldn't it have been Amber

Joseph Gunson

Was wondering when the break would be made official - will miss him and his contributions but hope he finds continued success with Bad Faith

A.C. Miller

Most of these comments suck! Virgil was good & the show is good with or without him! Good luck Virgil! Good luck Chapo!

Jason Peters

I guess this means no 'A Wifely Solitude' follow-up. Tragic.

Godspeed Virgil x

SF

I can’t tell y’all’s voices apart anyway

Graham Hakala

good luck to virgil on his new podcast, "The Beltway Garage"

good riddance!

I liked bad faith but had to disengage as it feels more for Americans.I prefer chappo as it’s better distraction while the world burns

The Beak TM

“Big ups Virgil”. -Chet Hanks

Jacob Teasdale

If they go for another host they should get someone like Derek Davison because i think American hyperpower is wheezing. Seriously, all this near-peer saber rattling shows that they've got one plan: hammer and nails.

Patrick Link

I figured, but this sucks. I always felt like Virgil tempered Felix’s taking a bit too far/long with a random hilarious interjection. It’s just not the same with WMF, although it’s not as bad as when Will isn’t there. When will isn’t there the show is a mess. Miss you Virgil, he always had the best ‘growing up online’ cultural references, as far as I’m concerned.

GD

I still love all of you ❤️

Episode #?

GD

Should we e-mail Virgil about this?

Christian Johnson

No, the exact opposite. WMF absolutely crush.

MC Ritz

Really looks like there was a split in the party. There is no way to reconcile the arguments made in Matt's vlogs about disengaging and not investing in the spectacle of current politics and the direction Bad Faith takes focusing more on electoralism. I really miss the boys riffing but I don't think we are getting another beltway garage. Semper Gamer.

the lord commander

I hope they get another permanent mic. What I loved about prime era Chapo was the interplay between all the hosts. COVID era Chapo has been too much Will, Matt, Felix over and over. They're great, but mix some shit up now and then.

Sucks for Virgil, I wished he'd stay. I tried bad faith but brie is really bad and makes it unlistenable. Edit: brie isn't the worst and does make me laugh sometimes, but her podcast/discourse style (I feel like she starts talking over people and moving the goalposts when she's losing an argument, and contradicts herself sometimes) just isn't for me.

Vincent

Yuck. Undifferentiated fuckery. No one gets a pat on the ass for this.

Prick Commenter

Anybody here remember my old friend Virgil? Can you tell me where he's gone? He freed a lot of listener seed, but I hear the good die young, I just looked around and he was gooooonnne

Mizzy

we been knew

Gagortion

Not surprised but still a little sad that this is the official End of the Era of him on the show. One of my favorite memories during the primary/before covid was talking to him after the Vegas show and going out to dinner. Best of luck to our boy, he will do great things

Sommer Benda

F

Jackson

It doesn't mean the show is over. It means the direction the majority of the show wants to go was the not the same direction he did. Some of the best content has been produced in the last year. We should wish our comrade the best in his new endeavors. Our portion of this society is too small not to be at least loosely united

I think so.

Mohamed Elmaazi

Did he even appear on Chapo at all after the premiere of Bad Faith?

I was always wondering how Virgil was able to pull off co-hosting Chapo whilst also doing Bad Faith. Good luck to you all.

Mohamed Elmaazi

Gonna be weird and listen to Tabletop Game Theory episodes when I go to sleep tonight

John

This is weird to hear now, i assumed Virgil left the show months ago. Especially after he wasn't mentioned at all in the 500 episode special.

Jope

Aww, hope he comes back!

James Barron

I was hoping he’d come back every election to team up with Matt for Beltway Garage

Dennis C.

There goes all their antinatalist representation...

Tomas

Will I’m so sorry for the loss we share. It’s a profound loss for those who enjoy a fine master at his craft. Nevertheless we must persist. RIP Kentaro Miura. Berserk truly was the best of the best.

feddydost

Kinda saw this coming, with how much time Bad Faith must take up for Virgil. Sad to see him go, but also extremely proud of him for getting such a vital new voice on the Left off the ground and running! The influence of Chapo spreads far and wide!

JP

Aww man. Suspected as much, but still sorry to hear. Will start following his new stuff, he's a really brilliant guy

Gabriel Bowater

I can’t stop thinking about the scene in the carebear movie when they call the cousins and tell them everyone can help.

Sad to see this, Virgil’s humor and analysis were inimitable and such a perfect complement to the rest of the hosts. Wishful thinking, but I hope he can come back for beltway garage or another tabletop game theory, or as a guest like Brenden or whatever.

gram

in all seriousness, Virgil is still interested in elections and I don't know if this show ever really will be again. I definitely miss his voice and energy but I don't know what he would want to add to the show as currently constructed/what the other collaborators expect from him.

werp

Welcome back Virgil

werp

Okay, but that's all dumb. Unless he's not gonna be dropping by occasionally, which like why wouldn't he, are y'all not friends anymore? Feels bad, his input was cool. Why can't dudes chill, you dudes should chill. More.

So no more Tabletop Game Theory?! Fuck.

The Bjorn Identity

me too :(( i need more amber in my life !!

Blake Patraw

Both great outlets things are building in a media sense that is stay interested

Jonathan lees

It’s been a long day without you my friend 🥺

WillyGetSilly

Where is Amber? I miss Amber. Virgil is too busy with his mod duties on chapo.chat.

Major Powers

Sad, but unsurprising. Hope to see Virgil return as a guest in the future. Best of luck with Bad Faith.

Peter Slattery

Toodles.

Santino

Kinda surprised you didn't say Amber was leaving too. Seems like it's been the three amigos only for months now.

Dante Oklahoma

Beltway Garage will return when America needs it the most

Man, this sucks. Obviously I wish him the best but he'll be sorely missed.

Jackson Hudak

Cheers, Virgil. Good luck to you!

Jessica S

I get the feeling she's looking for her exit as well😞

Noneya bezznes

o7

but fr i hope yall still do tabletop at some point, some of the best eps ever

why are we still here, just to suffer?

Virgil always got to interview zizek .

Marc Silverstein

Ó╭╮Ò

:/

Pour one out for the D. Va main He will be missed

Ugh, I was really hoping this wasn't permanent! Gonna miss, like...all the fun content? This is especially sad, since I think Bad Faith has really dropped off, and Virgil barely participates there, either. Sad to see.

Hank Single

wow the day finally came. hes been absent for quite a while and when he wasn't even present for the 500th episode I knew this was coming. still sad to see but I wish the boy the best !

Blake Patraw

My therapist says I need more stability in my life so I'm gonna have to make her write a prescription for Virgil to leave later bc I can't handle any more change at the moment. Maybe next year?

Noneya bezznes

I think we all assumed this was the case, but glad to see it officially confirmed. Going to miss having Virgil on the show regularly. Even though Bad Faith Pod isn't really my thing, I hope it continues to be successful for him and Brie. Gonna go listen to some Tabletop Game Theory, those are among my favorite Chapo episodes.

neowave

When you consider his internship with that awful Carl Diggler fellow, Virgil has given us beyond four years of wonderful content. Go forth in the baddest of faith, absolute champion.

gone but not forgotten

Still enjoying the show, but I hope you pick up a new 5th mic. The different vibes from different combinations of hosts have always been part of the appeal for me

Cabbages

Do i still Email Virgil?

Dammit Joe

He is obviously an alien and is nothing like Matt or Will.

David Butler

He has never been owned, but he will always be loved. Godspeed, Virgil Texas.

Treaded Water

Virgil and Christman vs Isikoff is my favorite podcast moment of all time.

i hope he comes back to do some beltway garage in the future. good luck virgil and semper games

Andrew M

Gonna miss the DnD sessions..

It has always seemed to me like more than any of the other guys Virgil really wants to be taken "seriously", and I always figured he might be thinking of Chapo as a springboard to get the chance to do something "real". Let's see how that works out for him!

ScorPWNok

Need him for more Call of Cthulhu episodes

Jcbsides

Isn’t she off writing a book? I feel like she’ll be back.

I have missed Virgil on the podcast but I've started including Bad Faith in my A-List podcast rotation and so it's all good. Best of luck to both shows!

Damn, Fs in chat for the Boi. Good luck with Bad Faith Virgil! I’m still emailing you when I have a complaint.

Vincent VanRiesen

Hoogz

who cares?

murt pie

As much as I like Virgil, he’s just kind of a less interesting mashup of Will and Matt.

Elliot Matheny

Virgil gone... Noid back on commercials... Coincidence?

I’m sure compensation is distributed fairly, I don’t think we should worry about that.

Elliot Matheny

If Chapo was 80s boys band NEW EDITION, this would be like Johnny Gill goin solo first, lookitup young folks!

Zach Pierce

Basil

No faith/ ALL BAD!

Zach Pierce

I think it's time to bring back that lady who was on the 'Brienne of Snark' episode.

Andy Cassidy

that makes one of us

Basil

Don't be silly.

WinnetouLivre

He’s been on the show more than Amber over the past year. I wonder how that works in regards to pay. Like were they both effectively getting their usual cut despite being busy with other projects and rarely providing content for the show or were they on some kind of understood hiatus?

BabuFrick

who's virgil?

Grant G. Grant

🤣🤣 I'm astounded at the number of people who have serious beef with the show but can't stop payments.

Andy Cassidy

Sad to see, and I still like Virgil. Even so, I’m not listening to bad faith. I’m just gonna go listen to Matt ramble on twitch.

Shimosanz

I miss Amber

Chris for Chapo #5 2021

Caelan McCracken

i think yall should take a cue from the last season of the eric andre show and have many different asian gamer nerds to be the Replacement Virgil of the week. prozd, arthur chu, andrew yang, it would be fun!

Holy fuck, Lathe of Heaven, make it happen!

Yeah what?

*cricket noises, tumbleweed bouncing around* yall hear somthin?

I love Virgil, I could listen to him read a phone book and be entertained. But Bad Faith is a bridge too far, even for me

Writing was on the wall with Bad Faith. Good luck Virgil. May you pursue the RedBrown pipeline in greener pastures.

Siyu

u dont. not anymore. u log off, and fucking grill for once

Torgeir Tannenwald

EMAIL HIM HARDER

peace out boss

i love him so much... he’ll be sorely missed 😭

I can't even remember the last episode he was on. No surprise.

I’ll miss him. Hope I can play Overwatch with him.

Jordan Brewer

He's gonna hitch his wagon to Brihana Joy Gray good luck with that Virgil. Ben Dixon had some stuff to say about her so did Marcus Farrow. Too bad Virgil didn't talk to the black side of YouTube and political consulting.

William Patrick Wilks

Genuinely interested in why you think that

Felix better get a raise you know all of Virgil's shifts are going to him

He's probably far to busy, but I want a monthly Roth spot.

Eric Keskeys

Huge bummer but definitely saw this coming. Love to Virgil and to Chapo, hope it really was an amicable split and he can come back and vibe

Jacob Dallas

Gonna miss that silky voice

bwen

Virgil is actually going to prison for taking part in the Jan 6 riot

any of the fym boys will do

take5

RIP Virgil Texas, he died jerking off on the toilet like Antonin Scalia

RIP beltway garage. Also Virgil and felix doing that impressions battle during one of the live shows last year was top ten. Also where tf has amber been

Sacklunch420

Man that stinks. Hopefully he can come back as a guest sometime. Rip in piece sweet king 👑

I loved Chapo before and I love it now, but the vibe definitely changed after Bernie was out again in 2020. Before that, national-level electoralism was still an earnest/hopeful topic on the show, and now it's not. Matt especially has made his thinking on that clear, but I respect and appreciate that Virgil still feels those convos are worth having even now (which is why Bad Faith is often a nice listen imo)

Mauve_Avenger

One of the best cold opens ever was Virgil and Felix’s symposium on why you shouldn’t have kids

Connor Lohenry

I mean he hasn’t been on an episode in like 3 months? I just assumed at this point

Understandable, but goddamn I hope he pops in. An absolute legend.

is this because Aimee Terese owned all you so hard

Gregory

RIP Virgil

Andrew Owens

I'm so sad rn

Alex B

No way this was amicable.

WinnetouLivre

Virgil was mostly a non entity but at least we can say the Elon Musk dnd episodes were top tier chapo

BJ

I started listening to this show about a year ago. Who’s Amber? I don’t think they’ve ever had a guest on named Amber

A. Sanchez

Sad to see him go. His chemistry with Felix was one of my favorite parts of the show

David Steiner

VIRGIL TEXAS THEY CALL HIM THE SNIPER JOKES SO HARD YOU MIGHT NEED A DIAPER

I will always remember Virgil as the man who gave me half of a yummy sandwich in Traverse City, MI. Sleep well, king.

I hope so too. We are at each other's throats enough on the left, no ill will to Virgil. Nothing but love on my end but I miss him dearly on chapo.

Greg

If I had to guess, they’ll bring in Branson from E1 or something if they feel like doing more TTGT, which I hope they do because all of the E1 D&D episodes are good

Gwen “Zootown” Nicholson

Damn. He really went out like stan chera huh

Adrian

Genuinely sad about this. Thanks for many good episodes with you all together.

Who should I e-mail with questions and concerns now?

Lucas Potter VII

Lmao no kidding. I’ll miss Virgil, and I hope things are amicable enough for him to come back for a guest spot every now and again. I just hope that amber will still be on staff after her book is done.

Gwen “Zootown” Nicholson

I think she might be the reason the media wasn't too nice to Bernie

Hate to see him go but I love to watch him walk away. RIP and good luck <3

Cunchwap Supeme

For real, she’s a wild card

He will be missed! Nothing but luck and the best of wishes. Sounds lame and corny to say but when he finally came back from his hiatus earlier this year I was genuinely so happy to have him back. A real one

Hopefully bad faith grows away from being BJGs “venting about Twitter” hour

Great point. His thing always seemed to be focused on elections which was cool. I hope he gets back into that given the inconsistent quality of Bad Faith which has pushed some bizarre ideas like FTV as if it’s October 1917. I really enjoyed his electoral analysis with Sam Seder.

Gotta Force The Vote!

Does amber have a Twitter?

Jared

I demand someone take up the role of calling people dumdums

Carver Eller

Bummer

Damn dude, Virgil had some of the funniest out of nowhere jokes. He and his ability to take all my emailed show complaints will be missed.

They were all Baby. Always.

Clarp Blarpkiss

Remember Virgil from WWF? Ted DiBiase's bodyguard? Hire that guy

Adam Hurst

I'm not glad that he's dead but I'm glad that he's gone.

Michael Ouzounian

Amber, or you dead or just drunk?

Steven P Schiesser

Hard to imagine the kind of brain that ranks the Chapo hosts

Isaac Jones

Yoooo Brie gonna ruin that man's career. Come do some lines with Felix and reconsider my guy

James Hendra

'People voted against a political and media class and all the people covering their asses cannot reckon how much they are loathed.' --- all time quote from Virgil. Best of luck 👍

EXN

Are they being?

Peter Sullivan

Shit take

He'll be like Brendan, who comes on for special episodes

Alejandro Zapata

Feel like pure shit just want him back x

Matt Harris

Is this Russian disinfo? This has all the signs of a Lev Parnas.

Zach Pierce

That actually makes me really sad

Virgil has been gulaged for revisionist bourgeois electoralism.

Jared

You seem informed, whats with the amber leaving rumours?

noobmaster

Can’t wait to hear him guest

Probably just finishing her book?

Matt Harris

this is an important issue.

did Amber get tired of babysitting the "boys"

Steven P Schiesser

f

niloc

we shall miss his nuanced views on water.

Can we at least get one last hurrah

Ethan

I have no interest in a panel show

Isaac Jones

Uhh yeah lol we know

Very funny guy and the table top stuff was great. Shame he’s moved to an even more lib podcast where he can’t make as many good jokes.

Matt Crossin

Why?

Johnny Olives

End of an era, and a tragic one, but it's good he's got his own gig he's enjoying and killing it at. Now who will we send all our complaints to?

Bryan Jennings

I figured as much, he hasn’t been on in forever. I like Bad Faith too

F

greg

Does this mean we can't email him if we have a problem with the show? Who do we email now???

Cameron Keyser

RIP to a real one

Owen Morawitz

in 5 minutes they release an alt presser where amber and Virgil's names are swapped

Will miss him on this show, his contrast with the other hosts and insight into mainstream politics was excellent. A great co-host.

Have 3 different drinks at the same time in his honor

Yeah I think she's probably doing 'I got a book coming out in 5 months' stuff. Looking forward to reading it

Bob Duvall

who do i email my complaints to now?

Jack Finor

No more table top game theory?

ProboscisMan

Virgil's commentary has long been very technical and electoral. With the direction the show has gone, it's not surprising to see him slowly work his way out. We will always love Virgil, it's been a great run!

Isaac Jones

Yeah amber was just on seeking derangements talking about how she feels disconnected from the show cause she’s not that online. I hope she sticks with it and continues that labor beat that she’s known for. She’s my favorite dirtbag.

features creatures

i think shes writing a book, so shes busy

Semper Games comrade

Alex Warneke

farewell to Virgile

Matthew Perpetua

You don’t need to be drama queens about it

Now who is Baby?

Misha TheHomeless

Hope you will all be guests on Bad Faith sometime soon!!!

Don't lie, we know he moved to Berlin to listen to derfunkiebeatz

Sean

Colby Thompson

No more game theory 🥲

AustieBoggs

I have to say I'm completely blindsided by this.

Wait, Amber is still on the show?? Damn, miss her 🥲

Dylan Kenyon

Isaac Salazar

Bye Felicia

Nothing but love, respect and support for Virgil ❤️

Does this mean amber will be on the show some day

Sad to see him go but glad y’all are still friends, hope we can see him back as a guest at some point in the future

Wish him the best

Farewell, king

I hope he comes back to visit occasionally, like Brendan does.

Frances Mary

Hopefully hes working on bringing back the DigCast

Jordan Ramage

this is like the most hilarious timing to announce it

zach ward

Semper games

James Valentino

Devastating.... I really wish he makes more of those table top games. My heart is a bit broken. Those were some of the earliest things I had seen.

TugNuggins

Aw that sux... I hope Virgil good luck on his future endeavors, he was a pleasure to listen to

Pirans

Forrest Taylor

Tim

Egregiousfuqup

Gonna miss you Virgil, you have a strong future ahead of you !

Marc Silverstein

What's Matt's email address? Show complaints have to go somewhere now.

This is some virgin shit

Sam

I wouldn’t count him out JUST yet, my friend!

Zach Pierce

What about diggler though?

Tre Kendrick

Good night sweet prince.

Tommy

I’m gay

uya

Indirect confirmation that Amber is still on the show, she's the one I'd miss more. All the best to Virgil striking out on his own. I'm sure Alexis is very proud.

Tobijah

Merry games-mas. Why address this so long after the fact though. It seems odd. Some inside baseball.

features creatures

Wait, Amber is still on Chapo?

Derek Horkel
