Matt, Swabians still exist, Albert Einstein was one.

Some Wall Street asshole did exactly that ~15 years ago. He ordered a ton of pennies directly from US Mint, sold them for scrap immediately, and bragged about it.

I'm pretty sure it is illegal because people already did that but that's what the balaclavas are for

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.

Here's Sarah's stuff: newrepublic.com/authors/sarah-jones

Episode 118 - From Russia With CHUD feat. Sarah Jones (6/18/17)

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)

Unhappy 4th of Ju-LIE to the United Snakes Of Amerikkka. We talk about Jake Tapper credulously helping Felix steal valor, Matt's family reunion, Joe Scarborough's 9/11 mixtape, Jon Chait's latest turd, Dissent magazine urging you not to dissent, and a reading series of Jeff Jacoby sans Caleb.

Episode 121 - These Things I Believe (7/4/17)

Our buddy Shuja (@shujaxhaider) joins us to talk about Charlottesville; the bravery of the IWW, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, PSL, and DSA people there, the coming split of the soft and hardcore white supremacists, the solidarity growing on the left, and the post-lib future staring us all in the face.

On this, August 20th, the national day of Hungary, founded in AD 1000, White House advisor and international supervillain Dr. Sebastian Gorka (James Adomian) transmits a message gloating over his recent victories pushing out rivals in the Trump cabinet. 

Then Joe Mande joins us to talk about the grim world of Maury Povich, YouTube Boy Jake Paul, and Van Halen's mission of peace in the 90s.

Episode 134 - Memento Maury feat. Joe Mande & James Adomian (8/20/17)

Joe Prince is on to talk about Arpaio, Gorka, ComicView, and his days as a lanyard. We finish up with a vintage reading series from Ace of Spades' Genghis X.

Episode 136 - Lullaby For Lanyards feat. Joe Prince (8/27/17)

Folks, Matt is no longer Skyping into the show from Ohio. He's officially moved to New York. But a funny thing happened...

We talk about Verrit (this was recorded before Peter Daou shouted us out and we officially endorsed it), and conservative raps.

Here's Alex article about conservative rap:

Episode 138 - Verrit Carefully... feat. Alex Nichols (9/5/17)

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

Episode 144 - White Men Can't Drumpf (9/24/17)

We talk Seagal, Tim and Amber's DSA healthcare call, and tuck into a nice big bowl of Sunday gravy and macarone with Megan McArdle.

Episode 146 - Better Ingredients, Better Healthcare, Chapo John's feat. Tim Faust (10/1/17)

Brendan, Will and Matt imagine the Baseball Crank in an anime. Then the gang talks to Patton Oswalt about the Szechuan thing, explore Patton's Lovecraft obsession, and pitch a pedophile Die Hard movie.

Leon did a wonderful illustration of the Dragon Baseball Z anime here: https://t.co/hhRnbZud61

Episode 148 - Lost In The Sauce feat. Patton Oswalt (10/9/17)

In this week's episode we consider the Coen Bros worthy, father-son kidnap caper of Michael Flynn Jr. & Sr. and Gulen, break down all of Tuesday's election results, each consider running for office, read about Greta Van Susteren's new APP, and finally, Matt and Virgil make another bet.
