065 - Cringe - Gerblin Mode

It’s our first ambush episode. We took a super fan (previous guest of the show, Bob) of DUNGEON CRAWLER CARL, didn’t tell him what we were talking about, and proceeded to crap on his beloved Princess Donut. That’s right. We are tackling the massively popular, beloved-by-coworker litRPG slop that is Dungeon Crawler Carl. We didn’t just read one book of the 8-book series. We didn’t just read two books of the 8-book series. That’s right. We went further. So we could hate it properly. Although Nate did read one more book than Tyler. Would you believe that these books are badly written? They lack character, plot, descriptions, and any kind of interesting prose. They rely on your previous knowledge of other stuff to do the heavy lifting of world building. Also they’re very misogynistic and racist (among many other bad themes). If you like these books, we suggest you look inside yourself. 

Listen to husband.  You ever go Psycho Mantis mode to smoke weed? The boys have. Joined by them is returning all-star David (@dmuma.bsky.social). Today we’re talking about sexual bad man, person toucher, alcoholic tornado, embiggened enabler, overdosing on fentanyl whirling dervish, and one man Bum Fights: Andy Dick. He got his start doing bit parts in comedies until landing a big gig on NewsRadio. We talk about how he enables others and has been pretty close to a lot of celebrity deaths. He has the trump-like power to never get in trouble. Tyler was a recent(ish) fan, Nate thinks he can be funny, and David did cockpit stuff. Andy Dick is a bad person. His life is punishment enough. 

WE ARE CHARLIE HEBDO  That’s right, we’re here and we’re full of faith. Past guest Buongi joins us to deconstruct New Atheists. We break down the four horsemen of atheism. We watched the Bill Maher hatefest documentary. Talked some gervais. It’s while how all these outspoken atheists have slid into being reactionary, sexist nightmare men. Who are your guys? You a Colton Burpo stan or maybe some Gracchus Babeuf will ail your existential woes. It’s so cool to have the faith in your heart but hang onto the constant dread of existence. 

We’re back and hateful as ever. And what do we hate after a long hiatus? Well, you saw the title so you know it’s FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYS. Nate’s a big birthday boy. Tyler has garage cats. We then get down to looking at what is good horror content for children. FNAF is not that. We watched movies, streamers, played the games… read the books… and we learned the lore. We examine the creator of this pseudo Christian slop and its creator Scott Cawthon. We also learn who the real villains are: MatPat and Markiplier. What happens when a game is meant to be experienced through another persons play? You become a passive nobody. 

After over 2 years of episodes, Hatespeech takes its first ever week off! Tyler is moving and he's packed his dang microphone. He makes up for it by telling a gay joke. Nate has become bone dry and is working on it!See you in two weeks! Keep on hating h8ters.

We finally did it. We finally covered CRINGE. Returning guest Ella (garaktailor.com on bluesky) dives in and embraces the cringe. We watch some cringe content. We try to define what it is. We also share personal cringe. Truly, we do a deep dive on what cringe is, the content it produces, what it means, and the impact. (Hint: it’s bad)We talk about Chris Chan. A little. Don’t expect us to ever do that again. Cringe is a gun and we must only point it at targets deserving of it. Check out Ella’s new podcast EVERYTHING IS WRESTLING. 

[Re-uploaded due to ~mysterious content strike~]Do you ever go tower mode? Tyler does. While doing so, the hater boys bandy about the vast and mystical world of CHIROPRACTORS. We explore the origins of chiropractic by looking at its creator, an alcoholic conman that said it came to him in a dream. We learn the philosophy of chiropractors. We look at how Scientology ripped off chiropractic. It’s all very crystal woo woo bullshit that gets passed off as real medical care. Nate tells a personal story about this. Don’t go to chiropractors. Go to physical therapists. Or brain therapists. Chiropractors are scammers practicing sham religious body manipulations. 

[Modified REUPLOADED version due to mysterious copywrite strike or possibly that we are being cancelled for telling the truth]Ahoy there! You didn’t ask for it so we’re doing it: we’re covering the movie 300. Zack Snyders trash film that’s become an important Rosetta Stone for modern conservatism. We dissect its themes, its imagery, and how it all came about. We contrast its early 2000s patriotism and racism with this years The Odyssey. Dean (@tier1diabetic) brings the knowledge. Herodotus, pronouns, and conservative AI. It’s all here. This is Sparta :( Check out Lone Wolves. It’s streaming now. I saw it and had fun! 

That’s right, we’re back with a bunch of little gripes. I don’t want to get into a list of them. It’ll be more fun for you to know we’re addressing small and annoying gripes in another Hate Speech Grab Bag. We can’t do these often because otherwise we’d be Falling Down. No one wants to be Mr Falling Down. By the way, you should watch the movie Falling Down. Okay some of the things are: Sony, people at the movies, metacritic scores, tier lists, and other stuff of that nature. It’s fun. It’s funny. It’s hateful. Tyler tries a new substance. 

Condoms represent The Matrix so you shouldn’t use them. Ready to insemiNATE us is Katie Red Lips. She joins the hater boys in an attempt to untangle the male perception of and expectations with birth control. Tyler shares a personal anecdote about a medical procedure. We theorize The Sponge. We get into the impact of birth control on women, how it came about (eugenics), and teach Nate the ins and outs (lol like sexual intercourse) of medical sexism. Support the show at our Patreon.
