When typing brief history of man on planet earth, just remember that this is a thread about a lad from Limerick who wears a plastic bag on his head.

One of my top 3 podcasts at the moment. I don't agree with everything he says. Some people seem to think if you're not agreeing with him 100% you can't listen, the podcast is sh and blindboy is a charlatan. As for mental health issues, he always says everyone is different and different shworks for everyone. Yee caaauuunnnts

So its a case of "Listen to me waffle on about my problems" with a disclaimer of if it doesn't work for you, not my problem.

The only thing Dave Chambers cares about with his pseudo-psychobabble is Dave Chambers bank account.

I really don't get the hatred for him - can you not just decide not to listen to him? You are not obliged to listen or enjoy or take any heed of what he has to say. You don't expect him to provide entertainment for free do you? Of course he cares about his bank account -- why shouldn't he? His podcast has been number 1 in the podcast charts for 16 weeks so obviously there are plenty of people who do like to listen to him 'waffling'.

The poster you are quoting obviously doesn't listen to him and is jumping at the chance to judge without having informed himself on what he is talking about.

+1. Taking the fools and the naive for a ride whilst lining his pockets. Amazing young men listen to this RTE backed pied piper.

Another Russell Brand type. Man of the "people", jays Im fierce concerned type. You know all that meaningless rhetoric shyte.

Meanwhile both are the least concerned spoofers out there. Only thing concerns both is the growthof their ego and bank accounts.

The Moldy Gowl · 06-02-2018 03:18PM

Hardly.

He lives in a bog standard housing estate on the outskirts of limerick city, also wears a bag so people won't recognise him.

Doesn't sound like the man who is about ego and money.

Could be either, in fairness. But since this is a thread about David Chambers you can take it that i'm talking about him.

"I'm Writing out notes for Wednesday’s podcast. I feel like a baker, gently folding and kneading hot takes over each other. Baking it into layers of hotness with a molten center. To be eaten with a pinch of salt and a drop of tea in a mug of fragile masculinity."

Humble brags like this appear egotistical to me. Maybe not to you.

where's the brag?

Rekop dog · 06-02-2018 04:04PM

Funnily he articulates the topic of begrudgery better than I've heard in some time in one of his podcasts, a few here should listen and be a bit more self aware of their motives for criticism.

smurgen · 06-02-2018 04:08PM

Basically a bull**** artist trying to earn a pound note.once we know he ain't serious.

His views on blindly following demagogues are spot on too.

But who am I to judge?

Yeah but he'd be an ordinary Joe Soap on the dole sitting in his underwear getting stoned watching the Chase in that house if it wasn't for all the sthick with the bag on his head, the hammed up voice, the incessant push by RTE etc.

Make no mistake, his 'indifference' to his looks etc the gammy tracksuits etc is all a carefully coordinated character. Like Russell Brand in a way, the 'shabby' hair of his has been preened and pruned to within a inch of it's life by a hair stylist.

Two spoofers. In fairness to them fair play. People are stupid enough to fall for it, so take the money and run. :pac:

Or perhaps people just find them entertaining? You know, given that they are both entertainers with reasonably successful careers? There isn't an entertainer in history who has been universally lauded, there will always be detractors. Look at Mrs Browns Boys, I find it to be awful drivel but you can't argue that Brendan O'Carroll has done very well out of it and a lot of people find it very entertaining. Different strokes for different folks.

He's so brave slagging Trump like all the rest of the hysterical cuck loons in the Irish media, who just re-gurgitate talking points from the new york times, washington post, assoc free press etc. Stupid morons don't realise that they feed Trump's energy. He's playing the likes of bag face for the tools that they are.

Hardly comparable though, is it? How many chat shows has “Agnes” been on spouting shyte about depressed men needing feminism etc??

Wasn’t on about that, I was talking about the fact that some people just don’t like him and that’s fine. You’ll notice the part of the quote I highlighted refers to people being taken for fools by his shtick but if people find him entertaining then I don’t see what the problem is.

Still don’t see any harm with him talking about mental health, he’s not exactly trying to pass himself off as an expert, he’s just relaying his own experience with it. If people are so fickle they can’t listen to him just because he wears a bag on his head to conceal his identity then I’d say that’s their problem.

People knows it's bollox because they sense the blatent cultural marxism propaganda at play. Basically it's masquerading as "edgy" and anti "the system" when it's so pro-establishment he's practically advertising for it.

Come on Hibs, where the fook does he do this on the podcast? "Blatent cultural marxism"? He welcomes and wants people to challenge him on the topics he is discussing to forward the discussion. How is that "cultural marxism"? As for being "edgy" and "anti the system", if talking about relevant issues concerning today's chaotic world and the state of the current zeitgeist we all have to contend with is "anti the system" well, that just shows how the "system" just may be a serious issue in need of immediate discussion and change. I don't agree with some of the things he says, same way as I don't agree with some of Jordan Peterson's beliefs, but I enjoy listening to both, to get a good view of the realm of everything and not shut myself into one militant side that wants to proclaim it is the pinnacle of some infallible reasoning that doesn't exist in our world which is not just 'one side or the other'

You do realise that he’s primarily a comedian and secondarily a musician?

Thirdly he’s relatively intelligent. So I doubt he’d be on the dole if it wasn’t for his enormously successful musical comedy career.

The idea that the Rubberbandits are RTÉ darlings is also hilarious. RTÉ were fairly late to pick them up.

Anyway, my point. You can agree or disagree with the man’s ideas, that’s fair enough. But attacking his right to express these ideas is ridiculous.

Let's all take Blindboy seriously now...
