The hosts are back in the studio and ready to launch into perhaps the show's most disturbing episode ever! We cover it all: was Anthony Fauci incompetent or simply functioning as scientists must? Is this unrest the natural result of years of inequality or fomented by international enemies? And most importantly: who can save the US from its coming nightmare?

Also: the problem with Trump, the uselessness of talking and teaching, and what defunding the police actually means.

LA is under curfew and so this week's episode was recorded remotely, with Charles in the studio, Isaac at home in downtown LA, and returning guest Seth Goldsmith calling in from the world's worst Internet connection! Please excuse our audio issues.

The show could be about little else this week and the podcast stereotype of three white men talking about the issues is fulfilled!

Discussed: the murder of George Floyd, the subsequent national protests and looting, the responsibility of police violence, the impact on small businesses, and the destructive power of the media.

Additional coverage: Seth's new character Right Wing Seth, a clip from an ancient and embarrassing NAHF episode from four years ago, and more!

A post-Halloween treat, it's the infamous live episode! Recorded back in June in front of a live audience as a segment of The Podcast Party, Isaac and Charles do a round of fast hot takes along with returning guest Rachel Louie and a special guest.

Check out our previous episode "A Podcast About Our Live Podcast" for the background and behind the scenes story.

Isaac and Charles made a guest appearance on an episode of the very popular Unpopular Opinion podcast talking about the Olympics (https://soundcloud.com/unpopularopinion/unp-230). Cohost Brett Rader really disliked Isaac and makes it clear during the course of the episode. Isaac quizzes Charles about what his future in comedy will be and Charles laments the presence of old weirdos. Isaac and Charles both critique how useless it is to promote anything on social media.

Left wing lynch mobs are here to destroy us all! Or are they? The show starts with a look at the "SJWification" of movie critiques, where films are judged on factors irrelevant to their actual merits. Isaac includes Taylor Sheridan's work in this category. Then a quick mention of Jordan Peterson where Charles gets to do his terrible JPetes impression. Finally, the Bari Weiss Twitter controversy from a few weeks ago is discussed: was she the victim of illiberal leftists or was she just being hardheaded and not admitting she tweeted something dumb? Immigrants: they make the mob dumb!

Isaac and Charles have both gone through bouts of abstaining from drinking with mixed results! Both "men" miss the way alcohol lubricates social situations. Isaac accuses Charles of being excessively judgmental and hostile in social situations. Charles claims he is usually simply annoyed by selfish behavior. This leads to a discussion of why people behave badly in public, from playing your music without headphones to urinating in public. Charles shares a story about fighting with a bus driver; Isaac shares a story about fighting with a woman at brunch!

Controversial guest Heather Marulli (@FixedAirHeather) is back! She adjudicates a Twitter conflict between Isaac and Charles and then listens to the debut of an Isaac-made sound clip. Charles was in the middle of Dave Cullen's book Columbine when the Parkland shooting happened and that serves as a springboard for a discussion about school massacres. Why are they happening? Why is it always the same type of killer? What can be done? Also discussed: the difference between a classic narcissist and a malignant narcissist, the regression to the mean, and why Isaac claims he can't tell if men are handsome. Special bonus! Catch Charles once again appearing on Heather's podcast while thoroughly criticizing it and her: https://soundcloud.com/heather-marulli/the-prodigal-son-returns-charles-disney-continues-to-give-me-a-hard-time

Note: the most recent edition of Dave Cullen's Columbine retracts the claim that Eric Harris was intimate with a 23 year old woman so some of this episode's dialogue on that topic is incorrect.

A little bit of housekeeping today as Charles and Isaac wonder why they have so many episode downloads in the Netherlands. Dutch listeners: get in touch! (notahugefanpodcast@gmail.com) Also discussed: people who live in the Pacific Northwest as well as our recent episode with Erik Escobar. Then Isaac introduces his new Web 3.0 media company Vandal Press (https://medium.com/vandal-press), which is pioneering the practice of peer to peer micropayments for content creators and removing corporate middlemen who gobble up all the proceeds. An episode for people who want to feel like they're in a business meeting!

Part 2 of a political trilogy with returning guests Seth Goldsmith and Joe Aprill! This week is all about elections over the next two years: will the SJW crowd vote for a white president? Is the "SJW crowd" even a thing, or just a part of the fevered imagination of the right? Also discussed: whither Steve Bannon, the lunatic Teddy Roosevelt, predictions for 2018 elections, and nuclear near-accidents.

Seth Goldsmith (@InfiniteSeth) and Joe Aprill are back to join Charles in witnessing Isaac make a shocking announcement, one that has serious repercussions for the podcast! Then it's on to the politics of the moment: Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury, the new tax law, and who would be the best Democratic presidential candidate in 2020. Also, for some reason the 2016 election returns as the Bernie Bros are slammed and Zombie Hillary Clinton returns from the dead to eat the brains of the right.

This week's topic: the most controversial and divisive film of the year! Pro-Last Jedi guests Seth Goldsmith and Joe Aprill argue the merits of The Last Jedi against haters Isaac and Charles, although soon the battle lines are not so clearly drawn. Also discussed are whether the prequels were racist, why people arguing about space movies always resort to physics arguments, and the age at which you first saw Star Wars determining whether you care about it or not. Furthermore, would John McClane have voted for Trump and why hasn't Michael Bay been hit by the Weinstein Effect?

The show shares some listener mail about the recent Conner Habib episode, including the accusation from previous guest Evan Williams that Charles was hitting on Conner, which Charles denies. Then Isaac and Charles decide on the appropriate anti-Semitism warning sound for the show. Send in your own clips! Speaking of Jews, Isaac and Charles differ on the appropriate displays of holiday accoutrements. On the crutch word front, Isaac tries to reduce his use of the word "but" with little success and Charles brags about stopping himself from saying "you know" while unfortunately uttering it numerous times.

A few minutes of fresh, topical content with guests Seth Goldsmith and Joe Aprill. The Babe Magazine article on Aziz Ansari's possibly bad behavior is out and our panel of dudes investigates! Was it sexual misconduct or just a bad date? Also, what is going on with the fingers in mouth thing? Also covered is Aziz's TV show Master of None and whether his character should be seen so sympathetically. This episode will assuredly age well.

It's the next-to-last full episode of Not a Huge Fan and Isaac and Charles are spending their time wisely: checking out which public commentators, broadcasters, and personalities are shilling sketchy products to their devoted fans. A spiritual sequel to Awful Podcast Merch. Ben Shapiro, Glenn Beck, Jordan Peterson's daughter, and the Krassensteins are selling gold, food buckets, and $45 coins to bilk more money out of their followers. A promise: Not a Huge Fan will NEVER resort to such tactics.

Also discussed: our shocking writeup in the largest newspaper in the Netherlands, why everyone loves hearing the political opinions of children, and the glory of Marianne Williamson on Dave Rubin's show.

Inspired by a Reddit thread, Isaac has been planning an episode about great acting scenes in movies. Unfortunately, this week's guest is comedian Erik Escobar, who constantly derails the conversation to make bad puns and discuss wrestling. Meanwhile, Charles debuts his new soundboard featuring multiple clips of Isaac's crutch words and laughter. Isaac attempts to conduct a serious episode featuring good acting scenes from There Will Be Blood and Magnolia while Erik giggles hysterically at clips from Tommy Wiseau's Wi-Show. This is probably our greatest/most annoying episode ever.

Isaac and Charles spent some time guesting on other podcasts and the results are examined, including Isaac's VERY CONTROVERSIAL statements. Comedian Erik Escobar is also present to talk about a certain amusement park job and his love of fusion food.

Charles went on Heather Marulli's podcast Unruly: https://soundcloud.com/heather-marulli/charles-disney-raises-my-gd-blood-pressure

Isaac went on Josh Denny's podcast March of the Pigs: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/motp/2017/11/28/220--isaac-simpson-and-josh-give-thanks-on-black-friday

Conner Habib is back on the podcast, this time to talk about the Weinstein Effect, and whether people are still able to touch and connect in the same ways that they did before. Isaac and Charles argue over whether it's a sex issue or a power issue. Conner points out that workplace attraction and romance is impossible to avoid because Americans are stuck working all the time. Also covered: the working relationships between porn actors and why they are superior to regular working relationships and Conner's distaste for Jordan Peterson. The "Slate article" referenced multiple times is http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2017/12/where_is_the_line_between_office_flirtation_and_sexual_harassment.html. Conner is reachable on Twitter @ConnerHabib and his podcast "Against Everyone with Conner Habib" is available on all your favorite podcast platforms and the video version is on YouTube.

A brief followup to "The 8 Worst Podcast Voices on Gimlet Media" episode. Chris Callahan and Rachel Louie lend their opinions to an important question: does Charles have vocal fry? Is he a hypocrite for criticizing Gimlet voices when he himself may be frying away? What does Reddit have to say about this?

This week's guest is teacher, thinker, philosopher, podcaster, and gay porn star Conner Habib. Conner shares his background and talks about how he got into porn. Noted anti-porn crusader Isaac questions whether porn is bad for society and why it might be creating the much-discussed "Herbivore Men." Other topics: Trump (of course), why you feel weird after an orgasm, Freud's death drive, and what gay men like to watch, porn-wise. Also Charles embarrasses Isaac by reading from his emails. Follow Conner on Twitter (@ConnerHabib) and subscribe to his podcast "Against Everyone with Conner Habib" on your favorite podcasting platform. Part 1 of 2 episodes.

Beloved journalist Isaac Simpson wrote a benign personal essay for Medium about his experience leaving social media (https://medium.com/@IsaacSimpson/how-leaving-social-media-affects-your-mind-c9e22df2c354). When he posted it to a tech subreddit, however, a bunch of commenters freaked out and Isaac's article was removed without his knowledge. Charles and Isaac investigate! Reddit thread in question: https://www.reddit.com/r/tech/comments/7d7ac3/how_leaving_social_media_affected_my_mind/

Isaac and Charles discuss a New York Times article contending that planned obsolescence (the by-design eventual failure of a gadget) is not a real thing. Both disagree and cite their own phone experiences as proof. This leads to an argument over whether news orgs should insert fact-checking parentheticals into their headlines, as well as how Trump's tweets are bad for the country, and if George Soros is too-often unfairly maligned as a dark controller of the left rather than just a liberal version of the Koch brothers. This episode is best listened to on an iPhone that continually crashes.

Audience favorite Evan Williams is back on this week to talk with Charles and Isaac about Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko followup Southland Tales, which was released in the US ten years ago. Charles thinks the film is a flawed masterpiece, Isaac believes it's an ego-driven failure, and Evan falls somewhere in between. Everyone attempts to explain the plot, to little avail. The big question: how does this movie exist? Isaac suggests it's a filmmaker drunk on acclaim and power, Charles claims it is pure artistic expression. The movie's minutia is examined, from the Rock's seemingly-darker skin tone to its possibly red-pilled agenda to anti-Semitism! (Guess who detects anti-Semitism). Also discussed: Isaac's reverse-racist neighbors, adult movie titles, how Obama is the villain of the second Transformers film, and why "the Southland" is the best name for LA County. Southland Tales can be viewed on a variety of streaming services or on Blu-Ray and DVD. Also there are three graphic novels that set up the movie. It's very complicated.

Charles recently read the Walter Isaacson biography of Steve Jobs, and that becomes today's jumping-off point for a conversation with Isaac and returning guest Dan D'Aprile about "great men" and whether what fuels them to achieve is also what powers their dark sides, as seen in countless recent examples like Weinstein, Louis CK, and so many others. Are great men so used to imposing their will on the field in which they excel that they begin applying it everywhere else in their lives? Do powerful men harrass women because they can't conceive of a woman not being interested in them? Walter Isaacson argued that Jobs was a great man but could have been a nicer guy. Is that actually true? You can probably guess everyone's answers to these questions.

Time for an #Elsagate investigation! Charles and Isaac are joined by Evan Williams and Dan D'Aprile for a dark trip down the rabbit hole that is #Elsagate, a broad description for a series of creepy and unsettling videos and cartoons showing up on YouTube, ostensibly aimed at children but featuring inappropriate imagery utilizing pop culture characters like Spider-Man and Elsa from Frozen. Theories abound regarding #Elsagate's origins: is it pedo ring communication? Russian asymmetrical warfare? Corporate intrigue? Everyone presents their own theories, from automation run amok to an attack on Google to force them to more stringently police user content. Everyone plays a game of "Guess Which Conspiracy Isaac Believes In." A very disturbing episode for the whole family!

Thinking about visiting and sightseeing in Los Angeles? Listen to this episode! LA denizen and comedian Heather Marulli joins Isaac and Charles to look at some of the spots in LA with big but undeserved lines! Just a few examples: Pink's, the Abbey, the Pantry, the Wiltern, and more!

Also discussed: LA's lack of landmarks, why people wait in lines, and Heather's witnessing of debauchery on the roof of Musso and Frank's.

If you like self-indulgent, meta-babbling, this is the episode for you! Isaac and Charles beg for your podcast reviews and then discuss whether episode titles should contain their number. Also debated: what the description of the show should be (and what it shouldn't be). Should there be a marketing plan? Charles pretentiously posits that Isaac is unable to hear what makes for a good episode because Charles has art school training. Isaac makes himself equally hateable by using the term "professional" repeatedly. They conclude by talking about their worst episodes. Anyway this is 50 minutes you won't ever get back. Maybe rate us after listening to a different episode.

A short conversation between Isaac and Charles on the nature of evil, spurred by Sword & Scale's infamous Episode 20! Should people be locked up just for thinking and expressing abhorrent thoughts? What is evil and why do humans commit evil deeds? Does Genghis Khan count as evil? Also Charles says something mean about actors.

*SPOILERS* Isaac and Charles do not agree on the new Blade Runner film. Isaac thinks it's boring and doesn't go anywhere, Charles thinks it's visually stunning and faithfully follows the aesthetic of the first film. Both agree that whether you like the first movie will determine your feelings about the second. Isaac thinks his distaste for the film is rooted in his lack of interest in stories about whether AI characters have human feelings; Charles posits that the film is a mirror image of the first. Also discussed: Southland Tales, Harrison Ford's performance, and why Ryan Gosling is a likable actor.

Isaac and Charles go on a listening tour of the various hosts of shows on Gimlet Media, the Ira Glass-inspired narrative podcast company where everyone has an annoying voice, as well as Glass-adjacent NPR podcasts. Isaac plays clips from Reply All, StartUp, Homecoming, Heavyweight, Missing Richard Simmons, S-Town, and the granddaddy of them all: This American Life. The term "whimper fry" is defined and Isaac and Charles alternate cringing at everyone's ironic fake voices. Isaac believes it's a kind of class signaling, Charles proposes it's an attempt to maintain journalistic distance. Whatever the reason, you will be infuriated listening to these Brooklyn hipsters hesitantly croak through their copy.

An old Washington Post article on a "Pantsuit Power Flashmob" takes Isaac and Charles on a horrifying trip down memory lane. Here's the opening: "It came together in about a week. First, the idea for a punchy, uplifting dance video that would tell a story about diversity, difference and communal support. Then, 170 dancers, a few hours of rehearsals–and pantsuits. Lots of pantsuits." A bite-sized NAHF episode. Tell us if you want more content like this! We probably won't listen. Article discussed: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/10/07/pantsuit-power-flashmob-video-for-hillary-clinton-two-women-170-dancers-no-police/

A very special episode! A certain someone just got engaged and that's the topic for this show! Yes, it's a Facebook post you would scroll past come to life as Charles and Isaac discuss a tale of engagement, which includes: texting the news, proposing in caves, and having the surprise ruined numerous times. The hashtag #DixonSimpson will be used for all wedding news going forward. Also discussed: why some countries have renowned cuisine and others don't.

Harvey Harvey Harvey! What a naughty boy! Isaac and Charles take a deep dive into Harvey Weinstein's sleazy universe. They investigate the dirty details of the accusations against him, Weinstein's bizarre response, and the response to the response! Are the right and left held to different standards when it comes to sex scandals? Isaac keeps comparing Weinstein to Trump, which Charles criticizes. Charles asks Isaac to play "Which Gross Old Man Would You Prefer to Bang?" and the answer is not surprising. Lastly a point of disagreement emerges on how actively sexual harrassment in the workplace should be policed. On an unrelated note, we are hiring interns! Please apply to our hotel room.

Amanda Cohen and Heather Marulli stop by to discuss whether female comics are treated differently and if they receive special privileges as a result of their womanhood. Charles plays his favorite game: "Gotcha" Clips of Isaac, but this goes disastrously wrong! The tale of Isaac's open mic experience against the Blue Haired Woman is retold and Heather reveals she is attracted to balding, alcoholic comedians. Are there differences in why men perform vs. why women perform? Do some women get propped up as great comics? Is Tina Fey overrated? Listen to this episode if you like lady stuff or yelling.

A recent article describing a study showing AI could identify gay people by teaching it what to look for is the inspiration for today's wide-ranging episode with Evan Williams returning for another guest spot. Is there gayface? Can it be identified so easily? If there's gayface is there also pedoface? What happens if AI wrongly identifies pedoface? Also discussed: sex with robots, Rick and Morty, why parents tend to have issues with their same-gendered kids, and how Isaac hugged a naked Rosario Dawson!

This week's topic is the book Private Government: How Employers Rule Our Lives and Why We Don't Talk About It by Elizabeth Anderson. Also joining the discussion is comedian Heather Marulli, who works in an office. Isaac, Charles, and Heather recap her previous appearance on the infamous La-La Land episode and Charles explains to Isaac why his criteria for a good episode is skewed. Then it's on to the book, which posits numerous criticisms of modern workplaces for being like small dictatorships where employees have their lives policed by private organizations. Heather recounts an instance of being fired for a MySpace post and the various ways languages describe making money are examined. An episode for job-haters everywhere!

No comedy controversy is complete until we have (reluctantly) contributed our takes! Famed comedian Heather Marulli joins the show to discuss the very important Shane Gillis/SNL dustup and what it means for the art of standup.

ALSO: the purpose of comedy, what makes something edgy, and why cultural critics hate standup.

Hollywood Reporter - "Comedy's Civil War: How an 'SNL' Firing Exposed a Growing Rift in Stand-Up" article: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/shane-gillis-snl-firing-comics-mixed-reactions-exposes-growing-rift-stand-up-world-1242739

Slate - "The Seething Stand-Up Underground That Gave Rise to Shane Gillis" article: https://slate.com/culture/2019/09/shane-gillis-snl-conservative-comedy-legion-of-skanks.html

Isaac is back from a whirlwind trip across America, which included watching the eclipse in Idaho, teaching NASA scientists, and attending Burning Man! Charles and special guest Evan Williams inquire about Isaac's Burning Man experience, which included getting fondled in a shower, urinating on himself, and having numerous breakdowns. Isaac describes Burning Man as "very douchey" but also well worth going as it's a unique experience where you can become a different person entirely. Also discussed: "sparkle ponies." Burning Man's inaccurate hippie reputation, and the dark undercurrent of sexual exploitation.

Isaac's father Tom Simpson is back! It wouldn't be NAHF without possibly anti-Semitic content, and this episode's is about whether Jews own pets? It seems they might not. Isaac reiterates his anti-globalist perspective that the establishment is trying to break down the family and accuses Charles of being a globalist who wants to dictate his views to everyone. Another La-La Land argument breaks out and Charles works to solve a dispute between Isaac and his girlfriend's sister. ARE there basic human rights? DO Jews own pets? These questions might get answered.

Another all over the place podcast as comedian Dan D'Aprile joins the show and everyone shares the origin of their last name. Charles is descended from slaveowners, and Isaac makes the same dumb joke twice. Then three white dudes talk about slavery and the discussion moves on to the limitations of language and inherent East Coast vs West Coast differences when talking about race. Charles floats the idea of changing the term "SJW" to "Tumblr liberal" and then there's some Trump talk. A little something for everyone!

Isaac and Charles sit down for a one-on-one about Charles's disastrous recording mistake, the result of which was the loss of a great episode of people listening to and critiquing Isaac's appearance on a Nazi podcast. More news on The Lost Episode to come. Both further tell stories of past mistakes made and the gut-sinking feeling that results. Then it's on to a discussion of their recent appearance on Unpopular Opinion (www.unpops.com), and why both Isaac and Charles are lousy guests on other shows. Lastly they touch on Isaac's article for Curbed LA featuring the 10 Worst Landlords in Los Angeles, a story which was retracted by Curbed but might be available other places if you look hard enough.

The Google Memo is everywhere, including on the podcast! Comedians Amanda Cohen and Dan D'Aprile come on to talk about the most exciting workplace document since Charles got suspended! Isaac is on board with the memo but others are unconvinced of its value. Is the memo dated misogynist nonsense or does it raise points worth considering? Why are women underrepresented in tech? Are diversity goals benefiting women and minorities or just hurting white men? Also discussed: people counting (good and bad), the butchering of 1984's Two Minutes Hate, and how white men are the Snickers of American culture...? Send your angry emails to chucknjoe@hotmail.com.

Isaac's most recent Medium article proposes that all mass killings happen for the same reason: a breakdown in morality and of the lack of a common code, a function that religion used to fill. Charles and Isaac discuss the specifics of this and whether "globalists" are espousing their own version of religion. Also serial vs. spree killers: which is cooler? Probably serial killers. Isaac's SJW fixation makes its regular appearance. This is a good episode if you want to hear an argument between two people who probably just need to take a philosophy class.

This episode was recorded on Father's Day, with none other than Isaac's father Tom Simpson joining the show! A self-described liberal parent, Tom conveys his disappointment in having an "alt-right troll" for a son. Charles shares his 23andMe test results which begins a long discussion on genealogy and whether your family history is worth knowing. Tom talks about a trip to Venice Beach, which resulted in him clearly being scammed. Isaac and Charles get into it on Russia but find common ground in mocking the new snowflakes of the alt-right getting upset over the recent production of Julius Caesar featuring Trump as Caesar. Call your dad!

Has New York City lost its magic? That's the lead in to today's episode which finds Isaac returned from a trip to Gotham and very displeased with its current state. Both former residents of New York, Isaac and Charles discuss the ways it has changed, from the alleged SJW-ification of the subway to the loss of storefronts to the tech industry slowly gobbling up Manhattan. Then it's a study on public transportation and the question of whether poor people claim property via sound, why Where the Wild Things Are is a terrible film, and delightful stories of crazy people on the subway. Music: www.bensound.net

Charles had an embarrassingly bad radio show during his freshman year of college, and this episode features cringey audio clips of it which are picked over by Isaac and comedian Erik Escobar. Listen as 18 year old Charles tries hard to be edgy, gives "shoutouts," and relentlessly steamrolls over his cohost. In true NAHF fashion, this leads to discussions about Elliot Rodger as well as how people present themselves as characters. Email us with your thoughts at chucknjoe@hotmail.com.

Part 2 of Isaac and Charles's conversation with not-right wing intellectual Anthony Arroyo. This week, the rising popularity of Jordan Peterson is examined, as well as his very shrill voice. What about Peterson's message is resonating, and why? Things move on to "90s fedora atheist" Sam Harris, whether morality exists separate from God, why incest is wrong, and rising incidents of campus protests and violence.

A special treat on a Monday.

It's Part 1 of a special two part discussion with Anthony Arroyo on the nature of the modern right wing in America. Anthony doesn't consider himself a right wing intellectual but is interested in right wing ideas. What does "right wing" mean in 2017, and what it does it not mean? Isaac, Charles, and Anthony get deep into frogtwitter, Urbit, technoskepticism, Marx's bete noire Max Stirner and more! Everyone thinks the left would be healthier if it spent more time engaging in arguments instead of moralizing. Music: www.bensound.com

This episode is all over the place! Isaac and Charles begin with a discussion about a recent Sam Harris podcast on the ways apps vie for our attention. Sam Harris might have an ASMR voice and Isaac learns about creepy ASMR videos and then complains about annoying Ira Glass-style voices on podcasts like S-Town and Missing Richard Simmons. Charles objects to Isaac's assertion that the government owning less land will ease the housing crisis and Isaac displays his distaste for national parks. A little something for everyone!

Donald Trump's first 100 days have just completed, and Isaac and Charles look back on an old episode from March 2016 where they made a number of predictions about what a Trump presidency would look like. Both are right and wrong about a host of issues, but one thing is for sure: very few people were taking a Trump presidency seriously in those days. Note: this episode was recorded before the most recent Trumpcare bill passed the House. Also discussed: LA hotels that trick tourists, the films of Paul Haggis and Charlie Kaufman, and more!
