For our nonacentennial episode, we take a slew of listener questions, from what Canadians can do to prepare for their imminent annexation, to essential media of the Biden era, the future of Liberalism, dating across political divides, and of course, which animals are the cutest. Thanks for listening, friends, much more to come.

Sorry about your small gay dick

My booty cheeks are clapping 👏

Gay guys have all the luck, when will the ladies be able to find a man with a small dick

How dare you dare us! Das all.

That’s Crazy

An episode for every year Brandon has been alive

wailing ken jennings

900 delicious years! congrats! do a crusades. idk. celebrations.

Jeffrey Epstein's Assassin

900 episodes! I was promised a big dick and a cure for my gayness! I want my money back!

Bret Kavanaugh

Pronouncing “seasteading” like that is stolen Felix valor

Andrew Cross

Felix, just gushing about aviation at like 24:40

Gaz

That's sick as ay.

Randy

A banger from King Matt within the first two minutes

Matthew

Canadians, please take a moment to review the safety information card located in the seat pocket in front of you 🙏

Last Years Man

Matt's final comments are making me tear up like a wuss.

Last Years Man

Whoa, Will literally just broke the David Lynch news to me...

Pad Level Podcast

I'm a Naval Surface Warfare Officer and through some personal tragedies with my life, career and former marriage I'm forever grateful to Will for his dedication to the show, Felix specifically for his understanding of black culture (I'm black btw) and very specific niches like Jaguar Wright in the wake of the Diddler being brought to justice, and Chris for his work in keeping the show running. But Matt specifically helped me find my own voice and gave me the language and historical knowledge to pursue my passion for historical knowledge and historical materialism as I began my understanding of leftism in general. Y'all mean a lot and do a lot and I'm looking forward to Megan McCardle trying to come up with the worst diss track of all time (or really awful article) responding to anything Y'all have said. Much love and congrats on 9 bones.

interzoa

Very heartwarming at the end. Thanks for the laughs and the small respite from the hemisphere wide gaslighting that is western media, especially in the last year. On that topic, the future of liberalism is fascism. Also, I think toads are cute

Eric Murphy

Nobody mentioned porcupines... what the hell

ohnoitsthefuzz

What the fuck is with the audio quality? It's...excellent. Robust. Dare I say ballsy, Mr. Chapo. I shall be silent now to revel in feeling Felix's rich baritone in my loins.

Front Dogs Go To Heaven

Excited for chapo does bible. Til then, cannot recommend Apocrypals enough as a pod in the same (if more PG) ballpark

Shiv

900th

Goonba

Bro I’ve been edging for so long once we reach episode 1000 im a explode

Matt James Rich

Especially loved the question on the future of Liberalism.

Owen Lawson

I saw Vegeta and I clicked. That's all it takes folks.

Carolyn

Actually really sweet relationship advice from Felix

Jim Chapman

911 should be a Very Special Episode.

T

Alan D. sounds like Tom from Tom and Bunny

king_von_diesel

Hey man, two inches of cobalt steel on a spring morning is all you need

Dick Must Bust

So good to be hearing more of Matt each episode ❤️

Marcel Szabo

More burger I can do, less hockey no way, besides Minnesota is the hockey state...most of us don't speak French anyways lol

Doug Cartel

I'm just glad anybody with a history major is making money

Doug Cartel

"Former pilot here, where did felix get this interest in really fucking cool planes"

Doug Cartel

Disclaimer I think US fighter jets are overrated but that doesnt mean they're not cool

October

Do my guys know about OCN - Naude and Antoine and Denzel, guys running around saving seals in Namibia? They're not gov't-approved or anything they just save hundreds of seals every year. As for cute animals - dik-diks, puffins, and sea otters.

Arno Noack

dont forget the reagan movie

Spencer

Hard to put into words how much I admire Matt. True embodiment of strength and love.

A.C. Miller

Matt is truly back baby!

Shiv

I was THINKING BASEBALL CRANK yay Felix

Bella DeBall

the best bible story is absolutely when a group of youths roasted the prophet elisha for being bald, and then he summoned two bears out of the woods to kill 42 of them. 2 Kings 2:23-24 King James Version 23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

Matty C

Quit the Navy shipmate. Go steal something and get away with it like Adm Burke

NYCM&AHole

Hard to beat a baby seal unless you’re Canadian. That’s why we need to make Canada the 51st state

Zach H.

They should have TrueAnon on for that one and just discuss the cultural influences of 9/11.

T

They should have Adam Friedland on and grill him until he tells us what really happened

Jon Spiegler

Film of the Biden era was Red Rooms

Kelley

mother of two, here. Happy to be part of the 1% of podcast listeners

TC

We love you Matt.

HuffingGasInTheShed

Glad to know there’s a leftist contingent in the military. Things would be a little better if there were more like you

TLT

Matt sounds so great ❤️ much love to the fellas

Mayor McCheese

Crazy that the guys are waiting for a random miracle event to happen to shift the political way of life in America instead of them trying to work with other leftist influencers and working to remake the green party from the inside out. the same way other stars do for the democrats and republicans. Something that they could do in a heartbeat with the number of supporters they have behind them. This soesn't mean they'll be successful but there's a higher chance of that happening than what they're actually waiting for. Yeah, yeah, I know, "if you don't actually try then you can't fail", right?

Turlough Kelly

Blew my mind when that caller said he used to be a fighter pilot. I can't believe a Chapo listener had a job!

AbsenteeUncle

Not Adam C but my call sign was Smoke 1

Aaaaaaaaaaa

I listened to the last episode too late to send in a question but now that Trump is president again will we get more Call of Cthulhu?

Denise Fillion

Another rare mom here. I’ve listened to all 900! So good to have Matt back. ❤️ Congrats boys!

Warbs

I think Felix nailed the future of liberalism as being rudderless. My lib colleague has lost her mind and is now full blue anon. Unable to act, just sit and watch and believe something mysterious is at play and will save us soon.

James Blackmon

Felix on love and compatability is something I'll come back to.

Dick Waglin

Las Vegas? I like to call it Lost Wages

Wagner Koop

In regards to the animal question at the end, someone needs to turn these guys onto Wombats

Matthew Valckenaere

Tom Fitton snub, his tight shirts would have lead him to victory in the Hunger Games.

Zach H.

Agree with Felix. Strive to find new interests in your life or lose interest in living.

Turlough Kelly

"it's hard to beat a baby seal" <- history sadly disproves this :(

brewdog

As the mom of a three year old, I want to thank Emily T and the boys for the question. This is why represention matters. 🙏🏻 Also, since I've got more based baby experience than both of y'all, I'll say a good piece of advice is to, like, honestly try not to do too much? Kids come out pretty perfect, and it's our job mostly to keep them alive and fuck them up as little as possible. And also, yes, let them grow up with dogs (cats are fine, too, in a pinch.)

Kelvin Thomas

Dan Quinn vs Gorka in Battle Royale finals

Turlough Kelly

Caleb is a shoo-in after what that kid's been through

Butternut Squash

disappointed by the lack of sebastian gorka in the hunger games discussion

George P

Hearing Matt do the Cajun accent made me so happy

Richard Cochnar

Finally, some respect for Beau is Afraid. Isn’t Ari Aster gay? I don’t think he wants pussy.

Jared Sarnie

Matt bringing back the accent was a beautiful moment of healing

Maxwell Nelson

Of course big chapo underestimates mockingjay Caleb Jacoby

ab

I’m so happy to hear Matt. His wit hasn’t lost a single step.

Paul Bode

First time commenter: Can you please get the lefty fighter pilot on for a longer chat?

k v

Denmark has been very very shit towards Greenland. We danes get a lot of money out of Greenland from what the US already pays to have military basesand radar stations etc up there. Way more than the government would ever 'spend' on them/ put into Greenland - its a huge cash cow. I'm sure we also 'own' their minerals and other natural ressources. As recent as 60-70s the Danish government carried out a huge number of controlled sterilizations. The latest numbers coming out is that about half of the native women and very, very, very young "adults" got birth control spirals (IUD). To control the population in the most aggressive paternalistic form of soft colonizing.

Robert

Came here to say the same thing.

Toshio42

As a Canadian, what can be done to root-out seditious countrymen colluding to join America?

Kameron Jackson

Please do a mini series on the Bible!!!!

Fresh Dill

Please make Felix bible stories a regular feature. So funny

Jerimiah

I teared up a bit the past couple of episodes. Our beautiful boy is back.

Peter Castello

It was like watching Gandalf return as Gandalf the White.

PrinceVocalFry

Time to shovel ourselves out of the shit and into the truth

Kameron Jackson

Lots of love to Matt and the rest of you all!!!

buttface

Not without virgil

buttface

But it's much easier to just collect the patreon money, watch movies, and do cocaine

nick

Left wing biblical analysis is back!

Richard Cochnar

What’s the alligator baby tweet Felix referenced? Some of us have been banned from Twitter for years now.

Dee Rubes

Matt, you are already killing it but you take all the time you need. I hope your continued presence on the show is borne of the same passion as before the Event, and that you do not get down on yourself. We are so glad for every contribution you make. Also, thank you for faithfully reading every single episode message as I’m sure you do.

Travis

Felix begins speaking at 1 minute and 20 seconds

Robert Armstrong

Gonna be 38 when I graduate Law School - you really ARE never too old. Except for you., Felix. You missed your shot and must continue podcasting FOREVER to amuse us.

Robert Armstrong

I, for one, want Matt on every episode until he fully recovers. It's like getting to see Dr. Manhattan reassemble himself in real-time.

George P

a toddler got eaten by an alligator at Disney World after walking off the path and a psycho lib said she didnt feel bad because it was the white father's fault for ignoring signs warning about alligators

Mimi

I believe it was noted twitter user Brienne of Snark lol

George P

to listen to live reaction to the tweet in question go back to Episode 15 of Chapo on this very Patreon

Dee Rubes

This is exactly what I figured happened in Greenland, but when I lived in Denmark people were like “Yeah Greenlanders just get free money from Denmark so it’s pretty cushy” and it made me think of how American conservatives talk about native Americans.

Maxwell Nelson

Brandon warning against the undue influence of the podcast industrial complex

C. Andrew

My Virtual Friendship (TM) with Felix is over now that I know he likes the F-22 more than the F-15.

Mimi

Chapo mommies reporting in 🫡

T

Get him on ChapoFYM to do a flight sim stream with Felix

Andy Kraushaar

I say Gorka should make a comeback. While everyone else is playing chess, Gorka is playing Axis & Allies....or Axis & Axis really.

Gideon Weinerth

Chapo. When politics make you want to cry, the dry boys can make you laugh.

Bryan Welch

Hockey is now an American sport. Even Canada’s premiere franchise was dragged back to relevance by an American Latino

COM

The Kalmar Union of 1397 and later the Treaty of Kiel in 1814 during the Napoleonic wars is why Greenland became a permanent part of Denmark, tho they were originally Norwegian colonies same as Iceland and Faroe Islands...

Jessica S

Everything old is new again, in the of best ways. Matt is 1,000% back.

Davis G

I have an inexplicable feeling that Felix has spent well over $5k on clothes from H&M throughout his life

Zack Burke

I've seen the future. It is murder.

Robert Armstrong

"We should really do something about the Bible." Don't threaten me with a good time. Also, look up @actualjake - used to co-host a show called "The Bible Reloaded." He's one of the refugees from the Great YouTube Skeptic Wars, and good people. EDIT: LOVE that I got some likes for Papa Bird!

Esteé Dee

Love to hear the gang all together. ❤️

Jake Erickson

i remember reading somewhere that there's a big suicide epidemic among indigenous greenlanders due to both danish colonial neglect and oppression. it's unsurprising as that's pretty much how every other colony is run to some degree of horribleness

pq

WHAT 900

Horse Badorties

Norway has an insane sovereign wealth fund. They could outbid the US for Greenland.

Mark Murphy

Shout to Alex Nichols, who has been a great third mic

COM

It would make more sense than the US but they have long been trending toward independence which is the more likely outcome

Payton M

Excellent episode! Any chance we get an episode from China this year?

lake

Hell of an episode. Been looking for a good one to introduce my girlfriend to the show and this might be the one.

Robert Armstrong

No such thing as a bad animal. Unless they ARE "guys." The "Guys" Curse - once you become a Guy, your motives are suspect. That said, Matt's right: most adorable animal is a 'lil old baby❤️.

Mark Schneider

Will is dead right 53 minutes in on the "anti-populist" future of the Dimmie-Lib party. Shit on Lefties, shit on the poor, and the middle class, & migrants, on everyone that's not Liz or Dick Cheney, or Max Boot. Yeah, keep fundraising & losing those elections, Dimmies!! You are epic.

king_von_diesel

Sometimes, healing requires that you step back and breath and take time. Other times, healing requires work and effort and struggle and self forgiveness for stumbling. I think Matt wants this, and he does it better each time.

king_von_diesel

Bible/ 7 years war double feature, babyyyy

Michael

I remember Frank Mir did an AMA and was asked what he thought about Barack Obama and Mir said he didn’t have an issue with Obama because the administration was allowing people to carry handguns in national parks.

Knicks Fan 1000

Chris: alright guys next question is from Adam F. Adam F: *Obama Voice* uhhh hello my fellow podcasters. I’m calling in today to ask if I can be the 4th mic on your show?

Don Friðrik Ólafsson

I was in a department store when Matt started talking about raising a based baby (by getting a good roo going) and I actually had to hide away covering my face because of the urge for laughter

Robert Armstrong

Matt - you REALLY don't have to "find" your voice. You are speaking it. From what you've said, you've got "Amnesia" (insert Dunkey voice). Fuck! You may, very well, have lost EVERYTHING. But, my dear, sweet, largest son, you don't EVER need to "find your voice." Matt: for all that you currently know? Content yourself with the fact that you have ALWAYS had it. Work on it. Get better at it. And fucking enjoy your life fully, my dude. In a few short months, you have seemingly caught up to a post-Chapo world and as a result, Goddamnit, we are going to prosper from your miraculous cognitive dissonance moving forward. Lean in. You were right in 2016, and guess what? Shit didn't change (shocker). Ep. 900 - I love you all, but I've always loved Matt the most because he's my fucking Spirit Animal; and unlike the God I grew up worshipping, Matt has ALWAYS met me with results. Matt Christman. Welcome to 2025. You are certainly not the hero we wanted; but you're the Hero we NEED. Regardless of whether you remember the film I'm referencing. All the love that exists in the Universe that I control to everyone reading this, but obviously focusing on Matt.

Robert Armstrong

Inshallah. o7 EDIT: RIP David Lynch. "Fix your hearts or die!" EDIT 2: The fire doesn't go out after the first embers die, Will ❤️ i will forever hope and pray for a lawman like Dale Cooper. EDIT 3: Thanks for the cry over Lynch, Will. EDIT 4: And Chris, with the crooning outro 🥹

BombTracks Podcast

In terms of the "anti-populism" of the Dems and the increasing willingness to chop off demographics that aren't subservient enough to the party, I think we've already seen the shape the party will take. It is the party of Kamala Harris. Not the person herself, bc she's a terrible politician, but the group of people who identify with her. Middle-aged professionals (preferably black women bc we 👏🏽 need 👏🏽 to 👏🏽 listen 👏🏽 to 👏🏽 them) with graduate degrees who make more than $100k/yr. The policies that have supermajority support from that demographic (not mere majorities, don't want to go too crazy here) will be the core of the Democratic party agenda, and the further you get from that, the less of a place there will be for you within the party.

buttface

Men will literally weep over parasocial relationships instead of going to therapy

Le Michel diplomatique

Re: liberalism. I keep going back to that moment in 30 Rock when Liz Lemon says “I would have been a Nazi.” And I think it without knowing it it called out how really hollow it is.

Michael

John Kass wouldn’t last long in a Hunger Games situation. He had a stroke and open heart surgery not too long ago. Easily the most physically unhealthy Chapo character.

Cody S

Diabetes attack lmao

Jerimiah

I think Gorka would wreck shop in the Hunger Games hypothetical.

🤷🏼‍♀️

To the caller in the red state. I live in a red state (TN) and I'm vocal as hell about my beliefs and have a bunch of friends with similar beliefs. Just be real with who you are in public and you'll meet like-minded people or atleast people who recognize your integrity

Tvvvv

Thank you, Mr. Chapo

Re: based babies, I found that "the little engine that could" is an excellent parable of the post war labor movement

Oh and mother fucking River Otters!!!! Jeez.

Only reason I still pay money for this content is to support Matt

Alex Schwartz

I can’t remember how to get these episodes on the podcast app

Andrew Ratcliffe

I agree with Felix. It is not Chapo without Matt.

IronNosy

Adam the fighter pilot has the same voice cadence as Felix lol

Davin

Big ❤️

Wawaweewa

Great to have you back Matt

Desi

Please do a Bible series (as a religious studies degree haver, would love to hear yalls thoughts)

Grant

Yeah, I know Felix just finished a miniseries, but...

Universal Basic Intifada

Also in TN. While the state is definitely governed like the fourth reich, and there is certainly an enthusiatic constituency for that project, I hate seeing liberals and some leftists write off the region as if everyone here are uncouth cousin fuckers. As hateful as some of our neighbors may be, there will also be those who are based, and in my expierence, its pretty easy to discern ideology by the way the cryptofacists present themselves.

Ascetic Blur

Love you Will, Felix, Matt and I wish Amber could've made it because I love her too. Matt it's so good to hear your fucking voice man. Hopefully we can get 900 more as "we laugh all the way to hell."

Eric Brown

Perfect song selection on the outro. Tip of the cap to you, Chris Wade.

philfinn

Speaking of the old faves ive not heard Jon Podhoertz mentioned on the show in a while. I like to think his big boned skeleton is being gnawed on by rats in some trapped elevator somewhere but sadly I know he's probably still out there somewhere being a massive cunt.

Ashley Naftule

Cajun Matt = we have never been more back

Gurjot

Measure of a man goated episode. Picard, Riker and Data are at their absolute best in it.

Eli 🇵🇸

Y’all make surviving capitalism a little easier. Rock the fuck on, Chapo Trap House!

ResilientBastard

Great having the OG squad back. Most Greenlanders are actually indigenous to there, and speak a language that’s related to the Inuit languages spoken in Canada and Alaska. They’ve been on a slow track toward independence from Denmark and since Trump started their pronouncements the Danish govt has had to walk a weird line where they assert their sovereignty while also saying ultimately Greenlanders should have sovereignty themselves.

Matthew Dunn

Missed you Matt, great to hear you. Just want to say I have totally different political ideas from my wife. Shes hard right and obviously I listen to Chapo. I just try to keep politics out of my relationship. Was married previously to someone who had similar beliefs and that collapsed. My current Q-Anon Trump obsessed in laws share the same beliefs and fight non stop. So for anyone, look for what you have in common with someone. Remember if the right wing dictatorship comes about ive got someone to speak on my behalf.

Dongo

Will the trek goat as always

Dongo

Matt is such a sweet intelligent man I love him so much he’s a treasure

Wesley

Didn't have "Felix and Will can't pronounce Greenland for some reason" on my 2025 bingo card

richard parker

Will's clay higgins has a little bit of pepe le pew in it

PoppyBusch

Love to you Mr. Christman

I was thinking the same.

David Ferguson

Top Gun: Maverick is so obviously the defining movie of the Biden era.

chapotraphouse

I almost brought him up, he made a dramatic "return" to twitter post Oct. 7th saying he felt compelled to defend Israel against the liars and haters and has spent the subsequent time QTing various people posting like "seems very bad what's happening in gaza" calling them Catamites who will be sent to Perdition with posts like "hmm, the new season of Lioness has been a bit lacking methinks". I've been very amused he just can't help his old ways.

chapotraphouse

Will's suggestion of course, but I do love the candy colored clown

Antisemitic Times Square Elmo

In a Hunger Games scenario, Laura Loomer will outshine everyone. Obviously she is too crazed and impulsive to win, but she will rip Milo's jaw off with a crowbar while proudly wearing Trump's jizz on her bare tits, her death will be glorious, and she will eternally reside in Valhalla.

Matthew Dunn

Bible series also sounds sick.

Conner

I feel like Matt’s sounding better every show!! So amazing to hear him again and congrats on 900 boys

Alyssa Hong

We love you Matt!! So glad to have you back!

BlackWolfSkinwalker

Oh man. I teared up when Matt spoke about finding his voice. It's cliche to say at this point, but we are so back. I never thought he would recover this much, it's incredible.

Migz

We love Matt 💜

Sage

@ Chris, most of my friends were RTVF majors. Go Cats (just kidding I hated that fucking place)

Justin Webber

Michael Nando, Aka Nacho from Better Call Saul, is Canadian. And…um…yeah that’s it

Nick Freres

Wonderful to hear Matt’s words from the heart. I can’t even imagine how much of a struggle it has been to recover as he much as he has. It fills my heart with joy to hear him say he is finding his voice once again. And I loved Will’s tribute to David Lynch. Such an incredible artist. Words cannot even describe how much I love his work. Well done boys!

C. Ries

Man I hate listening to the voices of the people who call in, so cringe

Aaaaaaaaaaa

They did D&D without Virgil

Epic Soundtracks

i never post hear but i needed to express how touched I was by what Matt said during the end of the show. long love chapo. cushbomb forever. <3

Hardcore Virgin

1. Please do bible episodes!!!! 2. Matt you’re a testament to neuroplasticity 3. Really should’ve closed out with the lynch song “good day” 4. Thank you will. America will be saved by movies. Letting everyone direct one.

Hardcore Virgin

For real. Massive improvements each time.

Jackson

Surprised no one mentioned Zone of Interest for films that encapsulate the Biden era

SadSnack🥔

Matt sounds wonderful. H/T to my fellow history majors 📚 Much love to The Original Dry Boys!

Wow I'm worth a bunch of you reggo listeners. I have 3 teenaged children. Suck it.

In DCS replacing "in Minecraft." We may secretly have enough for a squadron.

Dildo Saggins

Revelations reads like an extended description of a Molly Hatchet album cover

I like the idea of Matt only being able to communicate in his Cajun dialect.

amelia hassani

roll call! another mother of children here!

helvetica.hottie

Aww shucks, here I was feeling smug and superior.

Gabe P

Let another 900 episodes bloom

Ashley Naftule

Felix recapping the Old Testament would be an amazing mini series

Jeremy

It’s so good to hear Matt doing so well on this one. His powers continue to grow.

Matt is so brave and so inspiring im really grateful hes back!!!!!

I am too late to have sent the Chapo guys an email but here's my question. For 2025's October Movie Mindset season, is it possible for Will and Hess to cover these movies: - George Romero's "Martin" - Carnival of Souls (1962) - Blood Feast (1963) - Scanners

K H

I tell thaw whatchu do is you take this one weird trick and monamy mon sharee you gonna make the doctors slap his mama

Jackson

I think the prospect of focusing on reshaping the green party is possibly misplaced, but it does bum me out the gradual shift away from focus on organization efforts the show has taken. I get it's largely burn out from how 2020 went, but it's been 4 years. It seems like talking to organizers and promoting that kind of stuff has been relegated to occasional "bonus" episodes when it used to be a lot more of a consistent focus of the show.

C. Ries

It’s not just their voices it’s their very uniform attempts to be “witty” in an “understated” way

Jackson

How do you navigate the more overtly hostile aspects of that ideology? Like in regards to trans people and immigrants, assuming she's in line with the far right on that. I understand being able to put aside fiscal ideas, or general conspiracy stuff, but I never really get how people get past the more overtly hateful stuff, especially being someone who knows and is friends with gay and trans people. Like how do you reconcile that? (Again, assuming she has a view that's in line with the far right with that stuff, apologies if wrong)

JR

It feels so good to have Matt back. And I really loved your answer Will about how your beliefs about what the Democrats are capable of have changed. I feel like all of us are right there with you.

OtherRussert

The Christman Riseth! Back in force

Goodnight, David, and thank you. Thinking about the future of liberalism and the left in the United States the things I think about is all the popular interest in the labor movement. I think there's going to be both people making great things happen through unionizing and people checking out the actual state of their unions and finding them very dilapidated and unresponsive. How people are going to respond to that I don't know, I hope more people take that as a chance to do a fixer-upper but I know that there is a cynical consumerist streak that will make a lot of people throw up their hands. The other thing is the increasing awareness of the political cultures of other countries. Again, there's both inspirations and disappointments there and I'm not sure how people will process them. Perspectives will change, but who can say how, I don't know.

leonard

thank you guys, for everything. i felt an immediate sense of fumbling in the darkness after lynch’s death (still do, may always.) he felt like our guide through the unknown. and though you all do something quite different, i feel a similar reassurance in facing the void with you all around. ❤️🖤

Craig

I hadn't really processed the loss of David Lynch, but now I'm weeping. Thank you, Will, for summing things up so beautifully.

Instantdumbass

Salute Matt and the whole damn crew.

Let David Lynch's death inspire us all to quit smoking

I’m on page 703 of the KJV, and the coolest part for me was when mob boss King David is dying and counsels his son Solomon to deal with these specific 3 enemies after he dies. Solomon does this and cements his power. I was like “oh ok so that’s just The Godfather 1”

Exactly. It's always been framed like Denmark helped them with funding. The parts that were funded was industries and factory work that destroyed the nomadic culture and their way of life. Classic cultural uprooting via hard paternalistic colonialism - presented as handouts and I guess enlightenment bs.

k v

Yeah, indeed. It's very sad. It's finally being discussed openly. And the case with the forced sterilizations in the 60s is turning the Danish public against the old narrative/discourse.

“Access to the hollow earth” Matt’s absolutely still got it. You love to see it

bruce

Matt sounded really good here, you can tell he's getting his feet under him more and more as we roll. And the return of the Cajun voice? Sublime. We love you big fella

Steve D

Yes! I love that he’s working through it like an all-star ace on a pitch count.

bruce

Porcupine puffers have those bright blue eyes, as well. Very cute fellas

No movie has ever made me angrier about having seen it than Blue Velvet

Matthew Dunn

Well she’s not really hateful. She has an openly lesbian cousin who neither her or anyone in her family has a problem with. Her lesbian cousin moved to Florida strange enough. And I’m a teacher in NYC, and I listen to how much people complain about migrants. Like hating them seems to be a default opinion in my view, even for African Americans. Plus I guess growing up in NYC suburbs I’ve grown accustomed to conservative views and her views aren’t really that far from the mainstream here. There’s my take if it makes any sense

Lamont Cranston

Went to see Beau is Afraid on a date with a girl I just met because we both liked Hereditary and Midsommar. Worst date movie ever!

GWAR-a-Lago

Definitely not a romantic date movie. That's why I saw it with my mom

The wars between the kingdoms went back and forth there, but Norway was definitely not always under the Danish kingdom before 1814

No joke. That was a stroke of genius (pun intended).

Finally y’all mention a bird in the animal part, more bird reviews going forward. There’s so many different kinds!

Jessica Rios

I’m a tankie/communist and my man is a straight up MAGA. We talk about politics constantly and can see a little of each others sides and learn a lot from each other. Neither of us agree with the other politically but we are mature enough not to let that mess up what we have. Love is hard to find. I’m not giving it up for politics.

Jessica Rios

Him “finding his voice” made me cry. I am so happy he’s finding it again.

pq

the way I wept when Matt expressed his gratitude for finding his voice the first time around. so good to have him back.

Noah Mingus

I love you all. I can't wait when I'm 35 and Felix starts up his horse racing interest ❤️

Khemith

Will's suggesting of keeping your powder dry and training for the apocalypse seems like a cop out but what can do? There's nothing we can do except wait for solar flares so we can storm Area 51. We all want to die in our own Harper's Ferry.

Folks,,

Matt seriously making me cry on the train

Khemith

There is no politics, that you or anyone is doing. It's basically one person has a Playstation and the other has a Xbox. Pure consumer identities. The console wars shouldn't stop love.

Khemith

Is it bad and selfish that I want the return of the Cushvlog? Maybe we can get a fresh pack Gulf War 2 trading cards to open.

Matthew Dunn

I know he likes gambling. The degenerate horse racing community welcomes you Felix.

Jessica Rios

That’s how I look at it. Politics already makes me sad and anxious…how crazy would I be if I let it make me reject love. Never.

someone said Trump doesn’t understand the Mercator projection and so thinks that Greenland could be his Louisiana Purchase

matt sounding stronger and more his old self every ep 💪

Hell yeah. Birding is one of my grill pills

reading a huge bloc of wikipedia is such a good bed activity, i remember during the pandemic reading the wikipedia entries for all the Space Shuttle missions, i gotta get back onto that. maybe go back to Gemini

Alejandro Pepsi

At the chapo live show in atlanta during the meet and greet, Matt and will said they liked the sweater I was wearing and I said "oh my wife got it for me." Matt said, "yeah sure bud, none of our listeners have wives" and then I said she was there with me and pointed over to her waiting on me and Matt was genuinely shocked and just said "what the fuck?" I like to think he was astonished a chapo listener was married and that she is a very beautiful normal woman just made him lag out.

Equality State Of Mind

Is The Bubble that piece of shit where Daisy Ridley plays a fitness AI that Pedro Pascal, as himself, has a waking sex dream about? Cuz if so, I'm glad I forgot the rest of it.

Trump impression next plz

great to hear you on the mic matt!

I love me a Red Panda. I like their fighting stance especially. Red Panda Foo!

Matt's bit about finding his voice coming full circle is so beautiful. Long live the king <3

doing politics as we know it is a dead end and if being a republican helps you slay pussy, mull it over - a message from chapped trap house

jammer

Commenting because my student debt finally intersects with Chapo: I, ashamedly, have more than one degree in biblical studies and would love to chat about nuts/bolts of a Bible series if you're interested. Also check out when Elisha calls down some bears to kill like 50 kids for calling him bald or the prophetic poetry about how Egyptians have big dicks and fuck their women

etienne

some of my fellow canadians might imagine that a US annexation might be cheaper gas, phone bills, and flights, but I would advise us to look at how Porto Rico is doing these days. just a general indication of how the expansion teams get treated

etienne

somehow Neo-Matt can only fluently speak Québécois

Gulb

Puffer fish are very cute, but they are assholes. If you put one in a tank with other fish, they will just slowly and relentlessly follow and nip at their tank-mates. Total jerks.

Stephen

Damn, so 3/4ths of the pod crew have stripper degrees?

Walking Bones

Matt's Clay Higgins is still good enough to make da houndog kiss a jackrabbit, mon amis

Do the Bible fuck yeah! Need any input? I was raised IBLP I know everything Bible 😂 better than most Christians 😂

i burst into tears listening to matt at the end. thanks yall.

Call in and show us the correct way

We fucking love you, Matt. You’re doing great. Genuine laughs every time you speak.

listen up this grannys going bad

Matelda

Will it was Abraham who fucked the handmaid because his wife was barren. I was taught in Sunday school that that's where Muslims came from, and the conflict between Israel & Palestine is because they're fighting over which son was the rightful heir of Abraham, first-born or natural-born.

Keith Zubot-Gephart

Weirdly this ep won't play in my podcast app? And going to the Acast link on the Chapo patreon page first prompts to access my Patreon info but after getting that gives me an error that the feed is invalid?

Philip Wailes

I must recommend Tornados/storm chasing videos as something to Get Into for anyone looking. Check out Pecos Hank on YouTube.

Thomas

I'm getting a download error on Podcast Addict.

Same issue Apple podcasts

Not Tom waites, it was actually the on again off again trans navy seal psycho

Sounds like she’s not that far right, or people can have far right political and social views that aren’t based on “hate”

THEKILLERWHALE

"If you are feeling cloistered or alienated, the best way to perpetuate that is to think of conditionals for why you shouldn't change that." Damn! Felix! Very, very great advice here.

H.L. Merkin

Aerial combat is Felix’s waxing wampeter. Sadly, apes are waning.

William Jarvis

This was a fantastic episode, funny and touching. It has been amazing to hear Matt return more and more, and indeed this show has made American politics somehow bearable. Also as usual, Felix says something spot on: all mustelids are amazing and they're weird little meat tubes with murder teeth.

Greasy_Jones

Cajun voice coming in surprisingly strong So what you're going to want to do, is get a roux going,

ts_babyjane

lol on the politics and dating question. my parents are completely opposite, my dad is a rush limbaugh conservative and my mom is a blue no matter who lib and theyve been together for 30+ years

Saxon Baird

Don't expect too much from the end of the world is so good. I tell everyone about it. dont sleep on it.

Cameron Young

Matt’s speech at the end almost had me in tears. Great having him back

William Hubel

It’s not for sale and Trump has cheese for brains but Greenland probably has enough untapped oil to turn Earth into Venus

Denjamin Mutton

I’m so grateful to be along for the ride while you find your voice again, Matt. ❤️

Isaac

Damn these dry boys for making my eyes all wet at the end. I just put on moisturizer and now I’ve got salty water all over my cheeks.

Wisselbanken

this show is great. you boys are great. 1000 more episodes please

Christian Aspen

Massive respect to Matt. Love to hear him more and more back on the pod. For what it’s worth, I feel like he’s sounding better each ep

Agent Grange

Trump wants Greenland because he was told about how the Entities hidden in the nuclear weapons they buried in the glaciers during Project Iceworm are starting to thaw out. They need to contain them! Also that pilot definitely just called in to brag about being an F22 pilot. Typical pilot behavior.

Dylan Gutridge

I knew the outro music as soon as Will started closing the show with his heartfelt words on David Lynch. I was driving on the absolutely stunning I-84 West out of Portland through Multnomah falls and I absolutely felt the same. Love this show forever. Love David Lynch forever. Thank you, guys.

Cory

“I heard you draw clocks” Lmao.

Matt Dear

Beau Is Afraid is utterly incredible, one of my fave films

AJ

the question about being left wing in a red state is a little funny to me because I grew up in a red state and now live among the coastal elite liberals and it's no easier to get along politically with many people here.

Dallin Gonzales

My band Harrison Fjord has a song about David and Uriah called Bathsheba. Gotta be the craziest Bible story. Tried to capture it.

Chapo Bath House

Fyi Felix, the Canadian version of Latinos are Ukrainians

Titus Wright

Great episode boys. I definitely didn’t start crying at the hour and 13 min mark.

Matt

I just realized that it was actually my wife who got ME into Chapo.

Monica

Thank you Justin W for triggering the most important and impassioned discussion in Chapo history.

After the toddler was killed by an alligator at Disney in Florida there was an annoying liberal who tweeted

Chapo Bath House

There's a (likely apocryphal) story in my family about my grandpa's friend who had a stroke and had to relearn to speak in his normal voice, but could communicate perfectly fine in a fake Quebecois accent

Chapo Bath House

We'll just sell off what's left of our healthcare and also our airlines will get even worse somehow lol

etienne

but cheese is gonna be like 75 cents cheaper per pound bro. think about it

Chapo Bath House

There's some great crow content in Instagram, including a Japanese family who breed endangered species (?) in their house. Lots of great clips of crows freestyling and also playing with blocks and acting like annoying little kids while their mom's trying to get things done

sean brawn 槍城

love u guys congrats, welcome back matthew my liege

jkjkjkj

I agree with will that liberalism will be anti populism, but I think that’s largely what’s it’s been already. Biden was a bit of a deviation to this in certain respects but you could already see a lot of liberals getting furious at him for that too when it was applicable

Bryan J Alexander

so pleased that will included bone machine alongside swordfishtrombones and rain dogs. Way too often overlooked

Margaret

What time stamp does will eulogize lynch?

S

Matt is back baby. We love to hear it Also, made me cry at the end! We love you Matt

Reece Coren

Absolutely baffled that Felix didn’t say Dan Quinn for the Hunger Games question

Kevin Spicer

Best name for a restaurant is burger theory...somewhere on Cicero Ave outside Chicago...

Kevin Spicer

Look, I could see Canadians eating more burger, but I just don't think them making restaurants named burger theory ... Or really contributing to actual burger theory in any way form or fashion
