"rootless tracksuit wearing cosmopolitans" lmao

you guys say 'like' to much. It's like, like valley girls, see clueless 1990's.

I love you guys but this bums me out a bit.  at least you're hilarious 

@parker-haile: Came here for this. Thank you.

I would say that if the DSA wants to attract membership, it should never allow Amber to serve as a spokesperson again. Holy shit, what a horrible pitch. Hearing her feebly describe the organization's role, I couldn't help but think back to the scene from Office Space: "What would ya say ya do here?"

^ the dsa is not a fast food commercial.

In episode 16, the Zoo Crew returns to prank call a fascist and the fallout from the alligator tweet threatens the future of another alpha male podcast. Then, we talk how to make it as a Washington lobbyist with Lee Fang of The Intercept and investigate Heather Podesta's work on behalf of Activis cough medicine.  In the reading series we examine an epic two-part article into male horniness and female submission by virtue scold Dennis Prager and discover a level of sexual derangement unseen since William F. Buckley's sailboat.

Episode 16 - The Male/Female Radio Hour feat. @lhfang (6/20/16)

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)

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.

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 62 Teaser - Do You Hear The Dirtbags Sing

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.

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)

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.
