I jerkoff to other content while I listen, thank you. I "multitask" like the kids do.

It's the Wolfe Tones - Some Say the Devil is Dead

Rob Delaney stops by to talk healthcare, Bill O'Reilly, sniveling Democrats, and Gorilla Mindset. Then Matt tells us about the Juicero and Felix and Brendan reveal a new single by P.J. Dade, "U Give Me 3nergy."

Message from P.J. Dade below:

I am an evangelical Christian, the owner of a secondhand boat store, and yes, that was me in the news report about “bathroom encounters.”

I sell rudders and motorboards during the day, but I have passions outside of work. Obviously, God is number one. But passion number two is my awesome wife Klyeelissa and my kick butt little guy Mason Jesse James Treibart (the best 4 year old in the world ;) ),  Passion the third is, you guessed it, Evangelical EDM.
 
Yes, Evangelical EDM is the thirteenth largest growing music genre in the entire world, but I'm not in it for money. My entire life, I've been searching for a way to tell people how my soul felt. I tried to find it in the bottle, in the pipe, and yup, through the bathroom stall. But every time I thought I was breaking through, I was just putting barriers between my spirit and the world. With Evangelical EDM, I know that I'm finally speaking the true voice God gave me.
 
So I decided to send the boys in "The Trap" my newest song, "You Give Me Energy." I could try explaining my life, my journey, my triumphs, and my pain to get these guys to understand who they're mocking when they mock evangelicals, but they wouldn't understand it. the universal language of music is how neighbors can see eye to eye, though. It's been like that since the Book of Genesis, and it's like that now. 

So without further ado, I hope you can begin to start to think about considering who I really am, and who you could be.
 
Blessing throughout you, your family, and the world.

"You Give Me Energy" lyrics

[intro]
This song is dedicated 
To a group of people I fail every day
But they're special enough to forgive me
I'm talking about my family and the Lord Jesus Christ 
Let's go 

Every day is just another chance
You can do evil as long as you come right back
Forgiveness is how the angels dance
It doesn't matter if you were born here or in Iraq

You are the best of me
You give me Energy
Once I was lost at sea
You give me energy

He's in our hearts before the coffee's in our cups
God is our breath every time we hiccup
He is the fistul of uppers when we crash
He will pump your stomach if you swallow sin for cash

You are the best of me
You give me energy
You wipe the sweat from me
You give me energy 

Slouched in a stall, my luck's run out
I refuse to die, refuse to doubt
He is with me all around
I pick myself up off the ground  
‘Cause even if you relapse in the hole
Your Wife understands it’s one step towards your goal

You are the best of me
You give me energy
The Holy Ghost nests in me
You give me energy 

[outro]
I'm sorry for everything that I have done
That I will do, and haven’t done
And you're welcome for our son

Episode 102 - Maintaining Emotional Control feat. Rob Delaney (4/23/17)

Episode 112 - Orbsplainer feat. David Cross (5/25/17)

Our buddy Alex Nichols joins us again to do our official Chapo survey and taxonomy of conservative media, from the ghouls of the Weekly Standard to the chuds of the Daily Caller. We also talk about the new cancelled Tim Allen show for about 15 minutes, I think I cut some of that but not all of it. I eat a lot of almonds in this one.

Episode 114 - Meat the Press feat. Alex Nichols (6/4/17)

Special free extra episode this week to prepare for the Election Eve in the UK. We talk to old friend, Guardian editor, and London-based expat Jonathan Shainin about the Tory bedshitting, Jezza, whether he bout to do it, and what different outcomes could mean for the future.

UK Election Special: God Save Our Jezza feat. Jonathan Shainin (6/6/17)

Jezza turned Labour and the whole UK left around, in a historic upset. The Tories' psycho leper government is doomed. The American Libs are shook. Jim Messina is in hiding. 

A spectre is haunting Britain — the spectre of the Boy.

Episode 116 - Jezz In My Pants (6/12/17)

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.

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)

Clio Chang (@cliomiso) joins us to talk Mark Zuccerberg, universal basic income, its popularity among libertarians and its limitations for the rest of us. For the second half of the show we read Dear Prudie letters to Amber, resident advice columnist.

Tim's back. We talk about the classic New York slice, read more from John Kasich's drifter diaries, and listen to more random excerpts of Gorilla Brain Mind.
