The boys spend their last night in LA sitting around the fire pit, gazing at the Pacific Ocean, talking about animals and riffing about the dang politics.

The gang officially inducts another film into Chapo Movie Canon by finally taking on the 2002 Kurt Wimmer film “Equilibrium”. We’re joined by Sarah Squirm to brush up on our Gun Kata and suppress our emotions until we all get arrested by the Feelings Police for crying the majesty of “Old MacDonald.”

We’re joined by TrueAnon for a round table on Israel through two in-depth reading series. Can Americans have opinions on Israel and Palestine, despite it being outside our lived experiences? Is middle eastern peace calling out, siren-like, to Joe Biden? Find out inside.

[twin guitar riff] That’s right, it’s the dry boys’ first in-person recording since March ‘20, and they start it off with more complaints about buildings and food. After some news riffs, we have two stories of clandestine domestic surveillance and unaccountable law enforcement that should push anyone’s sense of paranoia and dread to the limit. But as always, we return to that great guiding maxim: what is to be done? Chill with the homies.
We’re jus...

Felix is joined by journalist for AJ+ Mohammad Alsaafin for a wide ranging discussion on Palestinian resistance and the future of Zionism and the Palestinian cause.

2021-05-20 05:36:31 +0000 UTC View PostDear Grey Wolves,
After over four years as a co-host, co-producer, and collaborator, Virgil Texas is departing Chapo Trap House in order to pursue other creative projects.
Virgil's contributions to the show over the last four years have been immeasurable and we are truly sad to see him go. Virgil's commentary, interviews, game mastering, and vibes will always be an essential part of Chapo lore and canon. This separation is mutual and amicable and we all wish him the absolute ...

We congratulate Felix on defeating the scary monsters of Dark Souls during his successful fundraiser stream over the weekend, and also note the tiny but noticeable fissures opening up in the usually stifling discourse on Palestine. We then take a look at Bill Gates’ bro time with Jeffrey Epstein possibly being the cause of his recent divorce. Finally, there’s more UFO stuff in the news: limited hangout? New way to sell endless arms buildup? Or do the aliens just want our kindest bud? You ...

We start the ep catching up on Steven Donziger’s case as his court dates have finally begun. Then, we talk about John Grisham thrillers for a bit, gas shortages, and the uptick of CIA members who claim to be affected by mysterious mind-rays. Finally, a Bari Weiss piece on how everyone’s pro-Palestinian posts making her feel bad is the greatest crime of all.

Sr. Chapo Canada Correspondent Dan Boeckner stops by to talk Canada’s vaccination effort, and about his research into Canada’s new state-funded “Victims of Communism” memorial.

Will and Felix report from their trip to the zoo. We review the woke CIA ad, and discuss restaurants finding themselves hurting for employees when their lazy, entitled potential workers aren’t “economically coerced” to labor for “poverty wages”. We’re then joined by journalist Zack Kopplin to discuss his new piece on how corrupt mineral mining contracts have played a big part in our 20 year occupation of Afghanistan. Then, more zoos, animals & apes talk.

Adam McKay stops by the pod to hear Felix’s pitch for a political rom-com, talk presidential animals, and discuss his new podcast Death at the Wing. Death at the Wing uses a series of deaths among NBA players in the 80’s as a lens to discuss the Reagan revolution, the war on drugs, and America’s shifting social and political landscape during that era. We get into all those issues with Adam, plus raccoons, tapirs, and samurai swords.

Matt guides us through the life and times of Maj. Gen. Benjamin “Beast” Butler, who was transformed through his experiences in the Civil War from pragmatic anti-war Democrat to one of the nation’s most radical Republicans, pissing everyone off along the way.

We discuss why everyone loves the big boat whomst stuck in canal, then talk about Joe Biden’s big press conference last week, as well as Biden firing of all his staffers dumb enough to report weed use on their background checks. Finally, we look at the Bessamer, AL Amazon union drive, and Amazon’s extremely ham-fisted public relations push against it.

Or perhaps it’s just vagina nightmares all the way down. Who cares! It’s the Snyder Cut ep! The Snyder Cut! Folks, we love the Snyder Cut, don’t we? Give it up...

We then turn to the National Review to ask why conservatives are suddenly so gaga about the Royal Family. Finally, we see if we can find common ground with Boss Ross Douthat about getting Americans horny.

We take a look at Stars And Strife, a new Starz documentary by David Smick (“macroeconomic advisor to a select group of prominent global investment funds”). It’s a documentary cautioning against the dangers of populist extremism, featuring the sober, reasonable analysis of James Baker, Leon Panetta, Rahm Emanuel, Alan Greenspan and Larry Summers, among others, and is honestly just as wild and deranged as You Me Madness. This completes a kind of inadvertent trilogy of films exploring ins...
