At the end of June, Gray issued a statement. “We have discussed his obligations to deal with this accusation, but he did not provide me an additional insight into the fundamental claim. I want to avoid doing it, “she wrote. “My understanding is that Virgil will be announcing a statement in the near future.” Mr. Kas never appears, never appeared in any podcast, and sent it to e -mails used for the last few months. He did not respond to multiple comments, including the detailed list of questions. He still appeared in the cover art of Bad Faith, but he did not respond to contact him through Gray or other former colleagues.
Nobody in Chapos, who talks about the former co -moderator, could not tell what he had done since the catastrophe, but he suggested that he was still receiving money from the subscriber. “We want to get a chapo pension for those who contribute to the construction of a show, no matter what conditions we break up,” says Frost. Wade acknowledges that Cass is receiving money, albeit less than the current host. He explains that the agreement is “somewhere between pensions and contract obligations.”
Eisenberg, one of Cass’s best friend, eventually insulated him. In the latter half of 2021, he wanted Cass to be one of the wedding grooms. “I had to tell him,” I can’t rely on you. I have to remove you from the group. “Even if it was, he didn’t resist much.”
“He was like a tumble weed,” said Eisenberg. “He ran away from his own problem.”
While one of the joint hosts left, another joint host went in a new direction. In June 2020, Frost took the Zanax and boarded an airplane that maintained a social distance to Los Angeles. She established a Hollywood production company called ColdFeet. “I will do everything first,” she explains. “It’s good or bad, but sometimes it doesn’t get cold.” Unlike Chapo, where all are distributed evenly, Frost is the only CEO, but the remaining members are welcomed as the owner. , I invited them to the west. “I was a pioneer,” she says. “Then I sent back here that California is bright and sunny.”
In 2016, Menaker talked about expanding Chapo to sites that include videos and blogs, but ColdFeet was more than a focus on the video. “Imagine that they actually created a feature film,” says Katherine Luu, a professor of film and media research professor at the University of California, the University of California, who has been acquainted with Frost in 2014. “Hollywood is a very militost, anodine, liberal. Democratic politics can be created by bots. Spaces for some voluntary media experiences such as spectacles, entertainment, and laughter. Yes, we have almost no political power.
It didn’t take much time for Christmen to put amber preaching California’s virtue in both ears. He met Amber Lolo while swimming in Rockaways in the first pandemic summer. She was a comedian from the Golden State and lived in a Bushwick loft without air conditioning, heater, and stoves. Roro, who was not a podcast listener, recalls that Christmen wanted to retreat from a big politics and focus on his small community. As the winter approached, she and Christman were luggage on the 1990 Chevrolet remodeled van with a broken mileam and left for California.
Later, when they decided to get married, Menaker, an online church of Universal Life Church, hosted a wedding at Little Secret. Little Secret was a DIY venue in Hollywood, hosted by a former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson and the Amazon Association’s organizer Chris Smalls. 。 In the karaoke after that, the bride and groom sang “LOVE SHACK” of B-52. Molly Mary O’Brien, a wife who sang Fuck Har Gentry, a producer of Chapo, and Tenachas D’s Fuck Har Gentry, looked around and decided to move. David Wai Gel also attended, but did not sing. He didn’t sing Biderman -he said, “I like (karaoke) in the game” Dragon “series,” It’s not in the real world. ” did. Menaker, the son of the New Yorker and the New York Times, was the only one who continued to be faithful to New York. “Go to the Yankees,” he says.
Chapo has quickly settled on the project, with Adam McKay, director of Big Short, co -co -coach Benny Safdi, co -director of Ankat Gems, and Oscar -winning writer Josh Olson. Jason Groat, the writer of Madmen, helped Christmen and Menaker adapt to the Podcast Series for George H. W. Bush for TV. “I’m a drama writer, so the pitch was a bit more luxury TV, and the chapo -like look seemed to be a little fading,” he recalls. “Safdi advised me to write as a pilot version.” He wrote an episode that young HW was deceived and administered acid to John F. Kennedy. “If you play as a drama, people will resist more,” Glot says. “On the other hand, if the absurdity is further enlarged …”

In September 2023, Christmans collapsed when Lolo was preparing for childbirth at a Santa Monica hospital. By the time Roro entered the room opposite the town, he was no longer conscious. “He has a stroke. I don’t know if he can do more,” said the doctor. “That was scary. I’m already about to jump out, but my beloved person in my life, my future child’s father may not do anything,” she said. Say. “That night he tweeted.” I love you. “That brought me a battle. “
