Our old pal and first mega-guest Matt Taibbi returns to the trap to talk about Week Zero of Trump's reign, his new book about the past year of campaigning, and causes for hope now that the liberal dream is over.

Episode 77 - No Country For Gorilla Men feat. Matt Taibbi (1/29/17)

The genius Tim Heidecker is on the show, we talk about Alex Jones selling out, comedy in the age of Trump, and President Hamburgler wandering around the White House in the dark with old cartoon-style pajamas and a candle. We conclude with a new entry of "True Allegiance," with a special reading from Tim as Brett Hawthorne.

Episode 79 - Our Values Are Under Attack feat. Tim Heidecker (2/6/17)

2017 Magazine of the Year Award-winning journalist Shane Bauer (@Shane_Bauer) joins us to talk about the protests in Berkeley, his work embedding with rightwing militias, and his time spent as a prisoner in Iran. We took the award from him and now we are award-winners.

Here are some of Shane's articles we discuss:

Episode 81 - The Devil In Mother Jones feat. Shane Bauer (2/12/17)

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)

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)

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 debut our trailer for the ripped-from-the-headlines thriller "The Fresh Connection." We interview Matt Bruenig about his new policy shop. We check in on two special congressional elections. 

And we return to Ke7en.

Episode 108 - Night On Bald Mountain feat. Matt Bruenig (5/14/17)

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)

We open with a struggle session and own Felix for being too much of an actual dirtbag. The rest of the episode is our positive review of DC Comics' Wonder Woman, why neoconservatives love it, why Lebanon really banned it, and the missed opportunity of making it in the image of the original super horned-up creator. Amber named this episode.

Episode 119 - Bating For Gadot (6/25/17)

Clio Chang (@cliomiso) joins us to talk Mark Zuccerberg, universal basic income, its popularity among libertarians and its limitations for the rest of us. For the second half of the show we read Dear Prudie letters to Amber, resident advice columnist.

Episode 123 - UBIsoft feat. Clio Chang (7/10/17)

CHUDS are crying about black people protesting killer cops while Libs are trying to turn it into a Drumpf thing. Meanwhile we're over here being good and correct
