Popular humorist James Adomian (@JAdomian) joins the Trap this week to discuss Chris Christie's 9/11 Memorabilia Raffle, Jesse Ventura's "Conspiracy Theory," Dilbert, Garfield, and his impressions of Slavoj Zizek teaching sex ed and alt-right Paul Giammatti.

Plus, Felix gets written up in the New Yorker and Alex Jones embraces a new Pan-African political philosophy.

Episode 46 - No Cucks In A Foxhole feat. @JAdomian (10/4/16)

Enter the Trap, this week with Chase Madar (@ChMadar), civil rights attorney and writer as he talks about the inhumane side of the human rights industry. We talk about the botched Colombian referendum, the role of human rights experts in legitimizing war, and the intellectual poverty of Samantha Power and her book, "A Problem From Hell."

Then, dessert: Trump's hot mic, Republican crackup, and the eventual septic breakdown of the Alt-right.

Episode 48 - A Problem From Heck feat. @ChMadar (10/9/16)

Love those boys: On our 50th episode, we recall our humble beginnings and listen to messages of love and devotion from friends of the show. The meat of the show is a sprawling interview with historian Matt Karp, about America's slaveholding empire, horrible Civil War movies like "Gods and Generals," the Sanders Truth Squad, and new Chapo staple, Caleb.

Lastly, we plug our upcoming show at Caroline's on Wednesday for the third debate on 10/19, and announce a very special Election Night Live Show in NYC.

This is the story of a podcast. This week, the Intercept’s Jeremy Scahill (@jeremyscahill) joins Chapo to discuss the war in Yemen, Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy, drones, assassinations, and MSNBC green room gossip.

But what the hosts of the show didn’t realize, was that they were being watched…

Episode 52 - Dirty Wars 2: Rise of McRaven feat. Jeremy Scahill (10/23/16)

It’s a very special, very spooky Halloween Chapo: Comedian Kath Barbadoro (@kathbarbadoro) joins us with a full deck of tarot cards to plug us into the dark spirit world and foretell the fate of Chapo, Hillary Clinton, Ron Fournier, and the world itself, in 2017.

We also mourn the spooky death of Vine, unpack the new, spooky Anthony Weiner news for Hillary fans, and discuss the spooky concept of grave robbing as cultural appropriation.

Have fun on fight night, just don’t let us catch you in bed with a goblin.

Episode 54 - Trap House of Horror: Tha Hanging Boyz feat. Kath Barbadoro (10/30/16)

On the eve of Year Zero, Will, Felix, Matt and Brendan make last minute predictions, discuss the 100% clean comedy of 35-year-old Dan Nainan, and throw the spotlight on the incriminating Satanic emails discovered in the Podesta leaks.

We also discuss Brendan’s latest article for Deadspin about the strange case of natsec tough guy Robert Caruso. Finally, Matt’s wife Carolyn jumps on the mic and we play the highlight reel of our “The Day the Clown Cried” interview with the Free Beacon’s Matthew Walther.

Episode 56 - Under Seige 3: Before Year Zero (11/7/16)

This is Chapo season 2. Erin Gloria Ryan (@morninggloria) of the Daily Beast stops by to chat about the Hamilton Incident, Trump and Chris Christie's breakup, conservative protest and comedy, and martial arts in the age of Trump.

Also we talk about our latest press clip in the New Yorker, in which Matt, Felix and Will are rendered in watercolor.

Episode 60 - Off-Off-Broadway feat. Erin Gloria Ryan (11/20/16)

A Turkey Day treat for all! Our pal T (@RickyRawls) stops by the Park Slope Mansion to discuss his run-ins with the Anime Nazis/alt-right, their racial narcissism, and how Leon Festinger's "When Prophecy Fails" applies to Democrats after the election upset. We also wonder why Mike Pence even wanted to see Hamilton in the first place.

Here's an interview with T on the alt-right: http://thoughtcatalog.com/daniel-hayes/2016/11/an-interview-with-a-black-man-who-loves-standing-up-to-alt-right-trolls-on-twitter/

Episode 61 - Who Makes The Nazis? feat. @RickyRawls (11/24/16)

First we talk to Ezekiel Kweku of MTV about his diagnosis of the Democratic Party's failure this year, how they can beat white nationalism next time around, and the Æon Flux animated series. Then the full Chapo team assembles to tackle the book "The Up Side of Down: Why Failing Well Is the Key to Success" by Bloomberg View blogger and chronically wrong person Megan McArdle. It's a horrible dumb book and everyone gets mad at Will for making them read it.

Episode 63 - SuccessFail: The McMegan Story feat. @TheShrillest (12/4/16)

Nick got a new huge TV and we were all hungover so we leave Swordfish (2001) on during the recording. We talk about Battlefield Earth, the inane Eric Garland tweetstorm, and the DSA. 

In the middle of the episode, Nick makes another cameo by hovering behind Will and eating a massive carrot and it makes Brendan laugh.

We're sorry that this is not as profound as the Adam Curtis episode.

Episode 67 - The Swordfish Episode (12/18/16)

In this magical Christmas episode Kath Barbadoro joins us again to talk about the Lynchian underbelly of New Hampshire, political economy, the embarrassing turn at Mother Jones, and the really just fantastic and affordable meals on offer at our favorite neighborhood bar & grill, Applebee’s.

We finish off the year with a scintillating reading from Ben Shapiro’s racist and poorly-written novel, “True Allegiance.”
