This was a quaint little relisten for me...

I watched the 2016 DNC at a college bar in Laramie. I said the same thing to the guy next to me. He talked me out of it.

Welcome back to Zone, chapos. We’ve been waiting for you.

Hillary did win some of the key swing states over bernie in the primaries. Bernie won Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and a bunch in the upper midwest. Maybe he could have won some of those states in the general election.

In a jam-packed episode 7, Matt, Felix and Will count down the top 40 most unbearable voices in the world and give the crown to Ben Shapiro, who is also confused by how public restrooms work. Then, the boyz break down the result of the NY State Primary and ponder whether the Sanders campaign offers any hope for the future or if we're all doomed. We also break down the Turkish government's and the Erdogan's Street Team's latest antics in the streets and skies of NYC.  We follow up with Kev "Fat Dracula" Williamson and join Anil Dash and John Podhoretz in mourning the loss of Prince.

Episode 7- The Prince and the Egg: An Anil Dash Adventure (4/25/16)

*Air Horn* In episode 22, we talk to Vic Berger the vine auteur who has created the definitive portrait of the 2016 election and look back at some of the most classic moments he's helped to immortalize: Jeb and the Moose, Martin O'Malley the Lifetime movie villian, Huckabee wet ribs, Trump *Air Horn* the bully, Ted Cruz's Jay Leno impression and general Eldritch horror.  Plus, Bakker Buckets and Jimmy Fallon's death rattle on the Tonight Show.

In the second half, we do a reading from "The Hobo Koran" aka John Kasich's first book "Courage is Contagious, and dive into the Chilcot Report and uncover the hidden connection between the War in Iraq and Michael Bay. Finally, we pay tribute to friend of the show Ross Douthat by way of Ridley Scott's masterpiece 'Blade Runner.'

Episode 24 - Gulens Gonna Gulen feat. @dwdavison9318 (7/18/16)

After a week of fun in Philadelphia, we take sobering stock of what's left of the presidential campaign after the conventions with Dan O'Sullivan (aka @Bro_Pair). What can Umberto Eco teach us about Donald Trump and fascism and why do the Democrats and Hillary Clinton seem so unable to responds to the threat represented by a figure like Trump? Trigger Warning: Despair. 

Big thanks again to our hosts from Philly, @captainfreiheit & @BaltimoreMatt

Episode 27 - Tomorrow Belongs To Them feat. @Bro_Pair (8/1/16)

In episode 30 we rejoin the adventures of Ross Douthat Boy Detective with a little help from our producer, Brendan James aka @deep_beige. First we discuss the headlines that mattered this week, such as Rich Piana's divorce, an article about us, and Brendan's latest piece in Slate.

But the true meat of this episode is the grandest Chapo Reading Series yet -- a return to the source, the Book of Ross, "Privilege," which we first unearthed all the way back in Episode 3. Having mastered the initial texts of Douthat, we dive deeper into the record of his life and loves at Harvard, his hatred of birth control, and his fevered visions of jihadists killing goth kids in Boston.

Episode 30 - FREEWAY ROSS DOUTHAT Pt. 2: Tha Harvard Plug

In this suicode, the original Chapo Film Crew reunites with Matt V. Brady (@mattvbrady) and commits suicide over the sick, demented and flat-out twisted SuiCiDe sQuAd. The making of the film was Hollywood's Vietnam; the plot of the film was written by a divorced PUA; and the characters in the film are bold racist stereotypes.

Take the red pill and join Jared Leto in his beautiful dark twisted wankery.

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

Will, Matt, Felix and Virgil wake up in The Zone to take in the election results, process the shock, and accept Bill Mitchell as our new dad. More importantly, we discuss the failures of America’s expert/lanyard class, liberal ass-covering, the impotence and irrelevance of the Democratic Party, and our new purpose and priorities under the coming Trump regime.

Reasons to be scared, reasons for hope, and assurance that we’re still ready to ride with you all every day.

Episode 58 - We Live in The Zone Now (11/12/16)

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)

Brendan’s computer crashed so we lost half of our first recording for this episode, but all the good parts were mostly salvaged, as well as a bad part where Amber’s cat takes a wicked shit that smelled horrible and we whine about having to deal with it.

The second half was recorded the next day and it’s our second official reading of Ben Shapiro’s catshit novel “True Allegiance.” Ultimately everything turned out alright.

Episode 71 - Crapo Cat House: The Half-Lost Episode feat. Alex Nichols (1/9/17)

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The full trap in effect, plus special guest Sam Kriss (@sam_kriss), all of us covering the inauguration of President Wario. 

Weak chinned neo-Nazi Richard Spencer got his head caved in, protesters burned a limo, Colby became an anarchist, irony was shot through the head, and the gang went to Red Lobster for a lovely meal.
