They're probably not even writing about Chapo lmao. Their opinion is irrelavent at this point.

That IS true, Chapo has NEVER had their assertions challenged live or argued with anyone without getting huffy and running to the pod bitch about it.

So much epic ownage of this article writer

It just looks shitty and ridiculous to most people to look at what Russia is doing and be like "...Fucking America, again".

stfu felix, you're not funny, you won't have a career in comedy after this gig falls apart.

Russia's invasion was unjustified and criminal, and still Russia was 100x more justified than the US was to invade Iraq.

Suggested topic for the podcast:  Predictions for how the war in Ukraine (or WWIII) ends.  If we're still alive, you can later award the closest scenario to the truth.

How times change. Just a month ago, the only people who could find 'the Ukraine' on a map were the state department and CIA (and possibly Hunter Biden).

Felix explains Twitter Spaces and his theory of the Swag Samsara. Then Will leads us through two pieces covering the Epstein case, one detailing the jury selection of Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial and one attempting to re-examine Jeffrey Epstein’s death and declare it definitively a suicide. Both are...interesting, in what they chose to say about their subjects and how.\

580 - The Prisoner (11/29/21)

Having left their bubble of east coast elites, the boys are finally ready to accept (and accept responsibility for) the Let’s Go Brandon movement. They also revise the American Conservative’s revision of W.E.B. Du Bois’ Reconstruction revisionism.

584 - Let’s Fuck Brandon (12/14/21)

We continue to look at the domestic media response to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. This time, we’re talking about “the left” and how some of their “half-baked” ideas about foreign conflict lack serious intellectual rigor and nimbleness, curtesy of an article by “fully baked” author Eric Levitz.

612 - Half Baked (3/21/22)

The boys discuss outgoing press secretary Jen Psaki and her history with Amazon’s anti-union consulting company, some former Obama guys and their good opinions, and Jenifer Rubin’s advice for helping Dems in the midterms. Then, we take a look at a piece taking Morbius to task for failing to live up to Vampires’ potential as maligned outsiders.

616 - Living Vampires (4/4/22)

We’re getting absolutely zooted on microplastics for today’s ep, then looking at Bill Clinton’s “if I didn’t do it” article in the Atlantic on his true intentions behind NATO expansion in the 90’s, and another piece on what the Democrats can do to recapture Gen Z for the midterms.

618 - Z Whispers (4/11/22)

We just noticed it happens to be a midterms year, so your favorite presidential podcasting duo of Chris and Matt have teamed back up to relaunch our beltway insider series. We’re joined by campaign reporter extraordinaire Dave Weigel to break down the key races to watch, track the trends to follow, and generally put drills to our temples as we attempt to once again engage in American Electoral Politics.

620 - Beltway Phoenix at the Midterms of Madness feat. Dave Weigel (4/18/22)

Fighting suppression from Joe Brandon’s Ministry of Truth, the boys go berserker to bravely take on the dual enemies of Dark MAGA and reactionary article-slingers who dare ask, “are all films actually fash?”

624 - Valhalla Whining (5/2/22)

Author, anti-crypto advocate (and yes, film & TV star) Ben McKenzie stops by to talk Cryptocurrency. We discuss the lies & fraud at the center of Crypto, the use of celebs to boost the scheme, and his experiences traveling to the Miami Bitcoin conference and a Bitcoin mining server farm to research his forthcoming book. 

Keep an eye out for Ben and Jacob Silverman’s forthcoming book. You can find some of their recent writing on the topic in Slate here: https://slate.com/author/ben-mckenzie

626 - Simian Slurp feat. Ben McKenzie (5/9/22)

In a more serious episode, we talk to author and journalist Nick Bryant about his 2009 book “The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal.” We’ve mentioned the Franklin Credit Union scandal in passing on the show before, but it begins with the collapse of the Franklin Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska in 1988 due to rampant corruption and embezzlement of its manager, Lawrence E. King, Jr. Soon after, King was accused, along with GOP lobbyist Craig Spence, of orchestrating a massive child prostitution ring, shuttling minors between Omaha and D.C., and using their solicitation to blackmail high ranking political figures. Bryant’s work examines the evidence behind this, and we discuss the scandal, the victims, the cover up, intelligence agency connections of its perpetrators, and the crucial links between intelligence-led sexual political blackmail operations of the past with the Epstein case today.

628 - Real Detective feat. Nick Bryant (5/16/22)

Helllllloooo babies! Just as we anticipated, Eric Adams explores a run for president in 2024, so we look at the possibility of New York’s mayor taking his vibe revolution national. We also look at some juicy financial drama going on over at Black Rifle Coffee Company, plus, Tom Friedman’s sad, ominous lunch with the President.

630 - Full Stomach, Heavy Heart, Will Lose (5/23/22)

Matt Christman goes off live on http://www.twitch.tv/chapotraphouse

Topics: Matt Christman's history of Civilization. Next book: The China Boom by by Ho-fung Hung

Chris' note: Matt's audio issues continue to astound me. HOW is the audio switching between phasing and not randomly when he's not doing anything to the mic or settings? WHAT is going on here. Baffling.
