Abby Shapiro started singing and I reflexively frowned so hard my jaw dislocated

[@adamsmith7058]

Her voice is clearly trained, but also deeply unpleasant to listen to.

[@dartwada]

She's mechanically competent, but she's showing off that she knows how to do all the techniques rather than you know, trying to sound good. She really needed to turn down the vibrato, and she have been acceptable sounding

Feminist Icon Ben Shapiro

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

Matt was actually tripped throughout CPAC, which was something for which he has my undying respect...and i’ve stumbled my way through a lot of strange situations.

[@CzolgoszWorkinMan]

"there's not a lot of sex at Liberty University" go to Lynchburg with Scruff or Grindr on your phone and listen to the notifications go off like a Geiger counter

"I like my P - word like i like my toast, cold and dry" - Ben Shapiro

[@Trashcom1917]

Everyone's talking about the Shapiros this episode but I gotta say, ike barinholtz was hilarious and he was a really good get for chapo. Hope they have him back

[@shartman2]

"He's wearing a Packers hat and I think he might be on acid." Best line of the episode. 😂😂😂

[@erikcribley5271]

Ben Shapiro's never been anywhere near a wet ass p-word in his life

[@berdyderg900]

Doesn't he have children?

[@erikcribley5271]

@@berdyderg900 I was not implying he's never had intercouse, just that he's never brought a woman to physical arrousal.

[@tavonbrown9237]

​@@erikcribley5271anyone but the most addled minds would have an issue with what you said. It's the same as all those reports of conservative women who married young had children, not always in that order. Get divorced and become some of the biggest cougars in the world when they get the back walls blown out

[@jirris]

Abby singing makes me think of how Ben plays violin. Not technically incorrect, but completely lacking any soul and sounding like the technical demo of a synthesizer. It's the most boring, bloodless, and by the book way of producing a narrowly defined set of things their dad defined as 'real music'.

[@quester09]

I think of Hitler's watercolors

[@jirris]

@@quester09 Apt, yeah. Hitler's paintings were completely uninspired and look competent at first glance, but any close look at them shows you how awful he was both as a draftsman and his grasp of how color and light worked. He made the kind of art that you put in cheap hotel rooms.

[@thepants1450]

@@jirris his perspective was so damn bad, it gets worse the more you look at it

[@yurona5155]

Well, how could it be any different when they clearly lack (or at the very least are highly suspicious of) any and all subjective experience? Just listen to those movie reviews. You'll immediately notice that they cannot relate to any art that doesn't come with a giant can(on) of totally unambiguous interpretation. The NPC meme is growing a little stale, but this is precisely what it was created for: I'll bet you anything that making Lyrebird read a GPT-3-generated review of Inglourious Basterds would make for a deep fake 'podcast' not even their parents could identify as such - 100% certain.

[@tite93]

She's just like "hey, vibrato is cool, right? I'll use that all-the-fuckin time!"

[@divinuminfernum]

huh, i had until now just assumed that Abby shapiro was probably good at whatever her musical abilities are at the least, but that over the top operatic performance sounds just awful like almost Florence Foster Jenkins bad

[@annathiika5755]

With a voice like that Abby could totally moonlight as a semi sentient LRAD

[@tsundairyqueen9723]

That Abby Shapiro rendition of Old Town Road will haunt my nightmares for years.

[@tomservo110]

Imagine being stuck at a dinner party with sister Shapiro and her lapdog

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

it just dawned on me that Ben Shapiro felt that it was necessary to clarify the fact that ‘ p-word is female genitalia’…🤣

[@widescreennavel]

Ben's sister sings like Klaus Nomi.

[@ROTEsimplemachines]

I saw Reservoir Dogs at the Quad Cinema when it came out- people literally hid behind their seats; it was an effin great experience that few will experience again. Also, read Jean-Luc Godard or about Brecht or Ozu before watching Tarantino: his films raise issues that have been invoked by other writers, performers, stage directors, filmmakers, rather than pose simple homages. Talk about intellectual mise-en-scene, yo.

[@2masterofpuppets2]

Fucking love Ike Barinholtz! Very underrated MadTV cast member. He did the best Dane Cook parody

[@godmaster20]

I love the cold opens on CTH. Then the sick bass drop.

[@user-cw3yc3yk3h]

I showed my boyfriend an ad for Abby Shapiro I kept getting called “coming out as a conservative” and he laughed so hard I was worried for his health.

[@sputniktest5840]

Yo Ben was spittin

Abby's Boyfriend's favorite movie is Antman

[@noidontlikeu]

Abby should review Antichrist.

[@glitterimplosion4678]

Abby is the silk of this podcast.

[@bp1991able]

Big fan Ike! I've watched you since your MadTV days. Central intelligence was the only action comedy that ever made me laugh. The Mindy Project is perhaps my favorite sitcom and I'm in the middle of watching Bless the Harts! Best luck in your future endeavors!

[@flamesthephoenix3665]

[@firelifeblizzard8782]

This is like a Chapo Greatest Hits episode

modern monetary theory is like eating all the grain in the storeroom during the best harvest of the century

[@barbarasmith6005]

Not. It's a mechanism to avoid artificial constraints on money creation like "sequesters" or austerity-minded balanced budget resolutions, when there are plenty of real resources that aren't being utilized because of these artificial constraints.

[@DaBirdOfHermes]

Are you an actual PHD of Monetary Theory? If so your credentials ought to be revoked for your false description of such a well known and not overwhelmingly complicated theory...

[@barbarasmith6005]

@@DaBirdOfHermes no, no credentials in MMT except watching Stephanie Kelton's videos.. let's have your brief explanation, I dare you.

[@DaBirdOfHermes]

Barbara Smith in layman’s terms, no country that issues it’s own currency can run out money. Good enough for you? Or do I need to break out my notebook.?

[@barbarasmith6005]

@@DaBirdOfHermes That's right. A currency sovereign can never run out of money, but from what you hear on media, even left media, even left economists, they think the government has to balance its budget like a household. It's actually beneficial to run deficits, as government debt is another person's asset.

I hate it now. I used to think it was kinda cool too...in an artistic way...that faces could be carved in stone like that. Not now. I hope it gets blown up.

[@jellyfishjones4741]

The worst part of Mt. Rushmore is doing anything to it would just make stuff worse. It's not like a statue you can just tear down. No good way to get of it, no way to fix what's been done. Maybe if you could somehow cover it up. That could be a possibility.

"Death Proof" was the Tarantino movie that finally made me realize what an unbelievably crappy writer and hack Tarantino is. Just watch it, then watch any other Tarantino movie and you realize that the man is child incapable of writing any dialogue whatsoever between two human beings, and just excels at colorful, stylish violence.

[@Niklas-bk2rd]

Being a contrarian doesn't make you look as insightful as you think it does.

[@arvspex742]

I don't enjoy agreeing with those knobheads, but I have more or less the same opinion as them in regards to Reservoir Dogs being highly overrated (City on Fire, one of my favourites from which RD draws heavily from, is far better) as well as Tarantino's portfolio as a whole. At least it balances out with the fact her singing makes me want to drive a sharp pencil into my ears.

[@Trashcom1917]

I mean yeah it's not that rare or controversial of an opinion to say that Tarantino is overrated, though their analysis of him is really stupid
