Matt Christman, host of the popular leftist podcast Chapo Trap House, recently announced that he was leaving the show indefinitely. He announced the departure via a livestream in which he was obviously intoxicated the entire time, slurring his words and stomping around. Christman repeatedly screamed “They put me on Virgil leave!”

“We did put him on Virgil leave,” says Will Menaker, another host of the show. Menaker sat down for an interview with TMZ last Sunday to clear the air. “Look, I haven’t talked to Amber and have had basically one conversation with Matt since it happened. I don’t have any answers but we know he can’t come back.”

The controversy arose after Rhea Seehorn, of Better Call Saul fame, posted screenshots of Christman’s messages to her. In the pictures, Christman repeatedly says “pwease gimme me feety” and posted pictures of himself unsuccessfully trying to pop his pecs. It is unclear what Christman wanted from the encounter, but the actress was understandably shaken by what seemed to be the podcaster desperately attempting to sate his foot fetish.

There are no further details at this point, we will update as more information is released.
