I guess you guys read the review done by New Republic back in August, eh?

“ Poor Me, now book me on Bill Maher, ASAP! To-day!! Stop! What does ‘ASAP’ stand for, again???? 

“ ALL CRIME is STEALING” 🛎🛎🛎 “ CAPITALISM “ ! ! ! 

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.”

Episode 68 - Applebee's Christmas Spectacular feat. Kath Barbadoro (12/23/16)

We're all hungover from ringing in Year Zero and rusty from vacation but returning guest James Adomian (@JAdomian) stops by to put us off on the right foot. We talk about our callout on the Michael Rapaport podcast, Dan Nainan's Tesla show, Mike Cernovich's new brain crystal products, and Josh Marshall accidentally tweeting lesbian porno while trying to advocate a new Cold War.

Episode 69 - Angela & Strawberry feat. James Adomian (1/2/17)

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)

Mystery Science Theater 3000’s Bill Corbett stops by the mansion to join us in pummeling the life out of conservative entrepreneur and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza's stupid and bizarre documentary "Hillary's America." The movie is obviously racist and creepy and hilarious and the only accurate costumes were KKK robes.

It was an honor to do a show with Bill and he is now our FailDad.

Episode 73 - Better Call Saul Alinsky feat. Bill Corbett (1/15/17)

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.

Episode 75 - Mr. Chapo Goes To Washington (1/22/17)

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 dry boys are back, recording from Felix's new dirty disgusting apartment. We talk about Mike Flynn's resignation, some dumb Trump shit, and WaPo's moronic article about coughing that lound blount. 

Then Matt reviews the new show "ABP," a program about how great it would be if Peter Thiel took over a police precinct. We close with a reading series from a particularly soft Trump supporter, professional scold Mark Bauerlein.
