Dissapointing episode. It's weird unanimity among all hosts and guests. Unite the Right was sad postmodernist farce. I'm sorry but I can't see fascists ascendance or fascsm on the rise in Charlottsville protests. It's not the first time Antifa or anti-racists protesters seeked confrontation with Alt-right. It's again not the right context. Alt-righters didn't ascend on black neighborhood yelling and screaming racists slogans. They assembled in public space near statue and they got permit for that. If there were no antifa protesters, then Unite the Right assembly would have been forgotten by now. I'm afraid this hysteria over fascists on the rise plays into hands of those (in center and on cultural the left) who were calling for unity against Trump. So now this anti-racism gonna be weapon to get Trump. And main goal of all leftists and liberals would be oust Trump because fascists on the rise. I think it's all great distraction.

Absolutely, that is the choice. Fuck the Tories.

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)

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.

Folks, Matt is no longer Skyping into the show from Ohio. He's officially moved to New York. But a funny thing happened...

We talk about Verrit (this was recorded before Peter Daou shouted us out and we officially endorsed it), and conservative raps.

Episode 168 - Nut Neutrality feat. Sam Seder (12/17/17)

This week we talk the latest messy bitch media gabfest about the Trump Administration contrasted against the opening of much of the US coastline to offshore drilling. Then we have a laugh about the new Philly DA Krasner firing a whole bunch of prosectors. Matt gives us the rundown in the big Intercept interview with James Risen, and takes a trip down memory lane to the Plamegate fiasco. We close with Felix's fever dream nightmare of Elon Musk's Rockabilly Martian colony and the "Raw Water" craze sweeping Silicon Valley.
