This is like the opposite of Pleasantville, where the more sexually repressed you are, the more colors appear in your society

Christ this is turning into the Turner Diaries

this is my fucking fave, thank you, love the angry letters

Damn, this is rough. Live shows are always the worst, and the dumb Shining sounds are just annoying.

This is painful. Stop doing live bits, you're not good at them.

wouldn't let you question the exact figures, many of which were related to cholera due to their unsanitary habits

In our last show of the Pittsburgh Era, we reunite with Jacob Bacharach (@jakebackpack) to talk Scott Adams, hypnosis, the time he met Glenn Beck, and whether Dilbert has fucked. 

Then we discuss PA's long history of manmade disasters and conclude with an anti-reading series from Jacob's new novel, "The Doorposts of Your House and on Your Gates."

Episode 94 - The Brian Johnstown Massacre feat. Jacob Bacharach (3/26/17)

The show receives another celebrity call as a prominent broadcaster sets the record straight about the globalist demon media. 

The lads then discuss Mike Pence’s Rules For Dating Mother, the sad sacks at the DNC, why American health care sucks (more on that next week) and a magical reading series from National Review’s Jay Nerdlinger about his field trip to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. He did not like it.

Special thanks to Tim Heidecker

Episode 96 - Night At The Museum feat. Alex Jones (4/2/17)

We don't normally do this, but we have UNLOCKED this week's premium episode because our subscribers told us we should. It will never happen again so respect and appreciate this gracious gesture.

Our friend Tim Faust (@crulge) talks healthcare: Obamacare, Ryancare, and a vision for an American road to single payer, aka Chapocare.

Episode 97 - Hollywood Upstairs Medical College feat. Tim Faust (4/6/17)

The international supervillain Sebastian Gorka (James Adomian) calls into the show again, recently hampered by a conspiracy exposing him as a member of the Hungarian fascist Vitézi Rend. Will it stop his plans to push out all other top Trump advisers and achieve global domination?

Then we talk to Alex Pareene about Trump's Syria strikes, the media’s massive, pathetic war chubby, and his piece this week about the rightwing grift that has overtaken its creators and unraveled reality.

Episode 98 - Gorka II: The Gorkaning feat. Alex Pareene & James Adomian (4/9/17)

Our live show at Harvard University, where we held a tournament to decide the most evil person to ever emerge from the institution.

Episode 100 - Chapo Goes To College (4/17/17)

Rob Delaney stops by to talk healthcare, Bill O'Reilly, sniveling Democrats, and Gorilla Mindset. Then Matt tells us about the Juicero and Felix and Brendan reveal a new single by P.J. Dade, "U Give Me 3nergy."

Message from P.J. Dade below:

I am an evangelical Christian, the owner of a secondhand boat store, and yes, that was me in the news report about “bathroom encounters.”

I sell rudders and motorboards during the day, but I have passions outside of work. Obviously, God is number one. But passion number two is my awesome wife Klyeelissa and my kick butt little guy Mason Jesse James Treibart (the best 4 year old in the world ;) ),  Passion the third is, you guessed it, Evangelical EDM.
 
Yes, Evangelical EDM is the thirteenth largest growing music genre in the entire world, but I'm not in it for money. My entire life, I've been searching for a way to tell people how my soul felt. I tried to find it in the bottle, in the pipe, and yup, through the bathroom stall. But every time I thought I was breaking through, I was just putting barriers between my spirit and the world. With Evangelical EDM, I know that I'm finally speaking the true voice God gave me.
 
So I decided to send the boys in "The Trap" my newest song, "You Give Me Energy." I could try explaining my life, my journey, my triumphs, and my pain to get these guys to understand who they're mocking when they mock evangelicals, but they wouldn't understand it. the universal language of music is how neighbors can see eye to eye, though. It's been like that since the Book of Genesis, and it's like that now. 

So without further ado, I hope you can begin to start to think about considering who I really am, and who you could be.
 
Blessing throughout you, your family, and the world.

"You Give Me Energy" lyrics

[intro]
This song is dedicated 
To a group of people I fail every day
But they're special enough to forgive me
I'm talking about my family and the Lord Jesus Christ 
Let's go 

Every day is just another chance
You can do evil as long as you come right back
Forgiveness is how the angels dance
It doesn't matter if you were born here or in Iraq

You are the best of me
You give me Energy
Once I was lost at sea
You give me energy

He's in our hearts before the coffee's in our cups
God is our breath every time we hiccup
He is the fistul of uppers when we crash
He will pump your stomach if you swallow sin for cash

You are the best of me
You give me energy
You wipe the sweat from me
You give me energy 

Slouched in a stall, my luck's run out
I refuse to die, refuse to doubt
He is with me all around
I pick myself up off the ground  
‘Cause even if you relapse in the hole
Your Wife understands it’s one step towards your goal

You are the best of me
You give me energy
The Holy Ghost nests in me
You give me energy 

[outro]
I'm sorry for everything that I have done
That I will do, and haven’t done
And you're welcome for our son

Episode 102 - Maintaining Emotional Control feat. Rob Delaney (4/23/17)

Audio of our live show benefit for the Center for Reproductive Rights on April 27th at Littlefield NYC. Sorry about the weird compression, but our voices are nice and clear, so take it, you pigs.

Episode 104 - We've Always Been Here (4/30/17)

It's a jam-packed sode with special Chapo health correspondent Tim Faust returning to brief us on the dystopian Republican healthcare bill that passed in the House. Then we hop on the line with writer Miya Tokumitsu to talk about the tyranny of work over your life, and a future without it. 

We wrap things up with a reading series with Chapo all-star David French. 

Here's Miya's article in the New Republic: https://newrepublic.com/article/141663/united-states-work

Episode 106 - Work No Play feat. Miya Tokumitsu & Tim Faust (5/7/17)

We attempt to summon the magic reality-bending force of the show to cause Trump to get impeached and get off by testifying against Jared. 

Then we talk to novelist China Miéville about his new book “October,” and how Lenin was the first online guy.

Episode 110 - The Rocktober Revolution feat. China Miéville (5/22/17)

Our buddy Alex Nichols joins us again to do our official Chapo survey and taxonomy of conservative media, from the ghouls of the Weekly Standard to the chuds of the Daily Caller. We also talk about the new cancelled Tim Allen show for about 15 minutes, I think I cut some of that but not all of it. I eat a lot of almonds in this one.

Episode 114 - Meat the Press feat. Alex Nichols (6/4/17)

The New Republic's Sarah Jones joins us to talk about The Resistance and how we're in it, and actually lead it, so if you don't like us you're not part of it.

We then read maybe the most openly evil reading series ever. Matt gets so mad that at 1 hour 1 minute and 20 seconds neighbors tell him to calm down.
