We’re back to a normal-style ep after a week of interviews. We’re taking a look at the fast-tracked aid package to intelligence agents suffering unreality issues, the Biden administration addressing just the optics at the border, and AOC addressing just the optics of the Iron Dome bill. Finally, we having a reading series that functions as a bit of a coda to Will and Matt’s visit to Ozy Fest way back in 2018.

One last time, go subscribe to https://www.youtube.com/chapotraphouse

And go grab some of Simon Roy’s great posters over at https://shop.chapotraphouse.com/

More merch coming soon!

Haven’t listened to the ep yet so maybe this comes up, but would be cool to hear them discuss the implications of that housing vote in Berlin and maybe get on a guest for that too

William

Lol pulling arms and fucking legs to get 9/11 first responders healthcare but CIA babies cry once and the black no-limit cc gets whipped out in no time at all. Gotta say, getting real old suffering through the delusional realities of liberal and conservative assholes

Definitely not silent victims, they never shut the fuck up about it. Pretty sure they’re all just doing cocaine and trying to cover for it. It’s basically a season of Archer, except with the actual CIA.

Havana Affair by the Ramones, I think.

Michael S. Judge

I'm sorry, Director, I got a case of terminal Havana Syndrome and had to do all the Quadra-Heroin we were going to sell to finance Juan Guaidó's Soundcloud followers

Alexander Fuchs

Did anyone notice German elections taking place? Fuck the anglosphere

Do members of the CIA not already have health care?

Matt doesnt realize that the Nostalgia Critic also knows where the all of the bodies are buried

Gabriel Bowater

havana syndrome for all Also, Get Chris His Plaque you scrubs!

Gengeros

They are really pushing this psyops for some reason. Could be used for future invasion of Cuba.

Simon

havana syndrome is like when the air force or whoever released all the reports of aliens. they need a new enemy and are just inventing any old bullshit

Rusty Shackleford

Yeah they could get that Corner Spaetin podcast on

Donald

Goodbye Horses is such a great song

Cindy Carrot

Hope you find some info on this

Gengeros

AOC is petit bourgeois. Her voting base is based around the fact her district was gentrified and only got in due to the white middle class. She comes from a political dynasty, her father was mayor of Baltimore or something. She sent her time prior being a Dem staffer for Ted Kennedy. I think she is a right opportunist like most of DSA and thought she could do some good by being in Congress after Sanders. After all, if she wasn't there, it would be someone "lesser evil" than her right? Failing to understand that if you support revolutionary policies, electoralism is the death nail of that. I also think AOC is a new Obama and probably wants to run for Senate/Governor/President and sucking up to Dem elite.

Bob Duvall

Is merkin not the fuhuer anymore?

Andy Tawse

"Ricketty ass collection of ponzi schemes we call an economy". From that bit on. Matt at his best

Okay I’ll come clean Havana Syndrome is actually me I live in the ceiling at the embassy and the squealing sound is just how I breath sorry guys

Brendan A. MacWade

Living in New York City, and having worked just 10 feet from refrigerated trailers full of bodies (I helped my hospital count PPE and bags of dialysis fluids in March and April 2020 during our peak caseload), I have had it. I want another 700,000 people to die. I want all of Alabama and Mississippi to die. I want the republic to die. I am a terrible person. Kansas is lowering their flags to half-mast today to mark 6,000 total dead from COVID. I chuckle. New York City has lost well over 34,000 people. Fuck Kansas. Fuck this nation. I want the death count to double. I want everyone who isn't a democratic specialist to fucking die. No more disclaimers of "we don't want people to die." Fuck that. YES WE DO.

Brian Taulbee

Nobody told the SEC because the SEC literally does nothing. I knew a lawyer who used to work there, and he told me that it was normal for people to leave early and go to the movies.

I've been a fan of this person for a long time, so I'm just throwing out a guest suggestion related to the OZY fraud because I've enjoyed his work over the years- Will, Felix, and Chris should interview Eugene Robinson, the former editor in chief of OZY who is quoted in the NY Times piece calling it a "Potemkin Village." Eugene has a long history in the professional fighting world, he also wrote a book on it - https://www.amazon.com/Fight-Everything-Wanted-Ass-Kicking-Afraid/dp/0061189227. He was also in the great bay area hardcore band Whipping Boy, as well as Oxbow, a dark genreless not really metal not really indie band that worked with Steve Albini, Lydia Lunch, Kathy Acker, and Marianne Faithfull. Oxbow is still active, and Eugene writes on Substack now - http://eugenesrobinson.substack.com. He's not someone who identifies as leftist or whatever but he's thoughtful and engaging and it would be a fun interview, he's an assertive personality with a wicked sense of humor.

B2B Commuter

Too true, furthermore If we’re going to make Agent Pete jokes about Buttigieg’s spring break in Somaliland, I think it’s only fair to ask what AOC was doing in Niger during her time at BU.

The Children of Jack Acid

I agree! I think the best way to bring about socialism is to just pull everyone who wants to improve our material conditions out of power. After all, it's not like Republicans filling the Supreme Court with fundamentalist wacko judges would ever affect OUR lives-only the women of Texas, and fuck THEM! Our purity is more important than whatever happens to their ruined lives. It's even more important than all the people who might not have had to die in ICE custody if we had just ALSO used the vote, in addition to direct action and organizing people, and all the other more important things that voting a handful of times per decade could never prevent us from having plenty of time to keep doing. I mean, cam you imagine if Clinton would have beaten Trump--or if we'd just tried a LITTLE harder and elected Bernie Sanders? Their immigration policies would have been ONLY MARGINALLY BETTER, meaning only maybe tens of thousands of people AT MOST might not have had to die after being deported for no good reason. And ONLY thousands of DACA children, including a friend I care dearly about, might not have had to fear being yanked off the street by government agents and then plunked down in a Tijuana holding pen where they don't even speak the language of the tent city they're dying in. And frankly, ten thousand murders and countless ruined young lives are hardly worth sullying our hands at a voting booth to prevent! How anti-revolutionary! After all, when Engels repeatedly celebrated universal suffrage as a tool to help organize the working class and bring about class solidarity, and in particular celebrated how participation by partisan leaders in the Reichstag had led to more freedom of the press to spread the word to the working class ABOUT socialism, I think we all know that it was just an elaborate example of an ironic pose to prove he was too COOL for elections and voting. Yesiree, the best way to bring about socialism is to let the few safeguards in the way of fascism just crumble into dust while people needlessly suffer for my right to purity! Plus, I don't trust Democratic Congresspeople to do ANYTHING, which is why I intentionally DON'T vote as a protest that I TRUST will make them be LESS conservative in order to woo me back!

Iron dome is when you get fellatio from a robot.

Mr. Lobotomy

#BlueAnon gave birth to #QAnon

Jep

OZY gave Amanda Gorman (the inauguration poet) a $10,000 grant before she went to Harvard in 2017 to get “the opportunity to pursue their outstanding ideas and envisioned innovations”? And Gorman wants to run for president in 2036?? I can wait for 2031, when her beautiful rap play about the life of Henry Kissinger (recast as a queer black woman) wins every Tony Award

Mr. Lobotomy

The Dems prove again that they are not really better than the Repubs, the two-party system must be abolished aborted, and people need to embrace whatever third party they like and form some ruling coalitions

Mr. Lobotomy

I'm every symptom you need to be! I'm the! Unreality!

AKorgar

Oh man I think I've got Havana Syndrome. It's probably the Cubans! Healthcare please!

AKorgar

Were you wearing the Joker makeup when you wrote this

Brendan A. MacWade

Yeah, I'm broken. I've had it. I'm done. Surviving 9/11 didn't break me, but the pandemic did. If right wingers want to believe that the evil plan was for Democrats to tell them to get vaccinated, knowing that they would then angrily refuse and die, then let's just agree that it was the plan. I am not going to beg people not to die when they clearly want to die. I am cheering for more death.

"this sound before feeling ill" lol

Michael Barbarich

🎵PT boat on the way to Havana I used to make a living picking the banana Now I work for the CIA Hooray, for the USA🎵

Michael Barbarich

Holy shit, they put the sample in there. I wrote that before I listened that far

Tyler Pittman

What is this "I was shit" thing even from? This like the third episode someone on the show joked about it.

Kamran Husain

Chris thanks for the youtube channel it’s only been a few months of subscription but i’ve already dropped out of college and become addicted to vaping

AKorgar

There's no fucking way I'm reading that much sarcasm in one sitting especially when it's in support of reformist politics

etienne

they're gonna expropriate Der Fonkybeatz!!1!!!

Miles

Re listening to 230 and JFC — the teaching pod lady and the comments by Pinker are creeping me out man

Blake Patraw

god damn this episode was great, i found ozy videos with ONE view, dozens of them !! I've uploaded random bullshit and gotten like 80 views with zero effort, people are actively avoiding this garbage. also they have like 600k fake followers on ig with NINE likes on some of their pics. too good lmao

Christian Bendillo

Lmao I’m so glad y’all did a thing on “Havana Syndrome” because I was in Cuba for 3 months in 2018 studying at the Jose Marti institute and this shit happened while I was there and it was the biggest joke ever. Like I had this professor that was so old she participated in Fidel’s literacy campaign and remembers the missile crisis and she was making fun of that shit so hard, like she spent an entire class just laughing and joking about how fucking stupid the US was being like, “I’m actually flattered that they think we have this kind of technology and it’s insane that they think if we had those kind of capabilities that we’d waste it on something as ridiculous and pointless as this.” Then the state department literally sent me an email warning me not to travel to the country after I’d already been there for a month and I was just sitting there like, “well are you gonna come get me before I get my brain raygunned into pudding or what?” Lmao.

I imagine you guys don't read the comments but PLEASE clip Matt's rant starting around 31ish minutes and put it on the youtube page. Would love to send it to some people

Blake Patraw

also back in 2018 felix joked that michael vick was on the lineup and it LITERALLY happened he was on the 2021 lineup, no words

Conor

I think it was some “weird Twitter” guy who did something sus and then posted a really long notesapp apology

Evan Scott

did the uninspiring neoliberal technocrats win?

More Human than Human

I’m a drug pedant. “Perc 30s” don’t exist, and Opana is Oxymorphone not oxycodone. Do better Felix. These micro aggressions will not stand

Vincent Utah

Having worked with John Legend’s marketing team at one of my jobs, I’m not surprised in the slightest that they signed contracts with OZY. Fucking awful people to work with.

Baron

Lol Felix continues to not know much about McClendon 1) 85 mph in his CNG-fueled Suburban (lmao) 2) defrauded investors across like four subsidiaries of Chesapeake 3) also facing corruption because of dogshit liquidity at the time of exit from the CHK board

Kasz

Fidel's WMDs: microwave oven and bull horn

Kasz

Lmfao the first point is so fucking funny.

Baron

The only people who use CNG are either failsons of oil investors, or failsons of oil financiers, no one else

Zach Pierce

But they only went to see Wall Street, Boiler Room, The Big Short, Margin Call, Glengarry Glen Ross, Rogue Trader, the Game and Trading Places so they could learn how to SEC correctly!

Zach Pierce

“Ha-Van-A Syndrome that makes me feel INVINCIBLE! Not one that gives me scary fake headaches and post nasal drip!” 😀

Edward Leslie

Serious question, and I know she is releasing a book this year, but where has amber been?

Zach Pierce

“Horses” is one of the best punk rock albums of all time! Look for the SPEAKERS CORNER pressing if you collect LP records and like audiophile quality stuff…

Warbs

I came here to make the same request!

Warbs

I'm really hoping they clip that whole bit, very shareable.

orc

We are also out to get Republicans noses

Brian Taulbee

Most likely, yeah. You gotta learn how to SEC somehow!

Acetate909

Doesn't AOC know there's no crying in raceball?

Paused my game to come here and say - GET CHRIS THE BUTTON!!! SUBSCRIBE!! The animated bits are hilarious

Aubrey McClendon invested in the Seattle Supersonics and helped his fellow oilman Clay Bennett take them to OKC. Enjoy hell Aubrey

Damn, I didn’t know that big tittied chick with the snaggle tooth and grown out buzz cut was a greywolf.

syd

I don’t know why I’m even surprised that this Havana syndrome shit is Susan Collins’ doing. I’m so sick of her. She gets a weird amount of support here even from alleged hardcore Democrats purely because she sometimes votes against party lines. That’s literally it. Like I know self declared “progressives” who vote for her. It’s deranged and she’s an actual embarrassment.

etienne

the chapo yt channel sub count is gonna asymptote at 98,300

Peter Bogdanovic

Dudes, giving a billion dollars to Israel for Iron Done isn't giving anything to Israel. This is a direct payment of welfare to Raytheon.

Logan

This episode was very invalidating. You don't understand how bad you look right now.

Logan

You need to turn everything off and process some stuff.

Brendan A. MacWade

Then I will miss the destruction of the nation when the Republicans steal the 2024 election. No. I'm here for the end of the republic.

NOOOO MY VALIDITY HELP I'M DISAPPEARING HELP HE

I think Chris actually posted it

Adam wallace

If you get sick and don’t have healthcare, just blame Havana syndrome and you’re covered

Another victory for the murderers of Rosa Luxembourg, congratulations SPD

"NY Governor To Fire 70,000 Healthcare Workers Over Vaccine Mandate" -- and they won't be getting unemployment. Let me guess where Chapo is on this... They probably support the firing because they sure aren't covering it. This is a labor issue. For real: which side are you on?

Dan

I always looked derisively on the Right for falling for their political figures’ public displays of crying (Jordan Peterson, Glenn Beck, John Boehner, etc.). I’m very pleased and encouraged that the reaction to AOC’s crying has been mostly met with criticism from progressives, along with her fucking Met Gala dress. We really are about policy substance and voting records over cultural signifiers. I was always wary of AOC from the beginning, and I’m glad that Chapo is finally grilling her.

justdave

Nosocomial infection is actually the most deadly thing in America. Uneducated, unhygienic hospital workers are more of a problem than covid

Lexe

Sure it could be Mass Hysteria, but how do you know Havana syndrome isn't real?

Lexe

Healthcare workers are the one group that needs a mandate. They encounter a lot of people who are vulnerable to covid. If they don't want to get with "First Do no harm" then fuck em. McDonald's is hiring. David: iatrogenic deaths in hospitals are about a 100,000 a year. Compare that to the number of covid deaths in a year.

The Invisible Ass of the Market

"How do you know x isnt real" is never a strong argument. People say that about ghosts. A ridiculous claim should be responded to as such unless a good reason is provided for taking it seriously.

Evan Scott

i think everyone has already addressed it this way: if it is actually real then it just means cuba rocks

Luke

let's be friends

justdave

OK no, 100000 is way way too low, and, as a guess how many people caught covid getting tested for it? Shit you just made that number up didn't you? Pneumonia, strep, margelans, these are the things that kills old people and kids and the sick, covid just makes 20 somethings nervous

shes_a_rainbow

It could very well be real but it doesn't change the fact that we know for absolutely certain that, say, diabetes is real, people die from lack of insulin all of the time, but the government is doing shit to help. But with this probable mass hysteria they're bending over fucking backwards to throw money at it.

Frederick Von Drasek

...within I think the first nine months of her first term she publicly stated she stood with the D majority regarding Venezuela. She didn't make much noise about it and, surprisingly, neither did the press, but the great Spanish-speaking socialist chucked Maduro under the bus before she had a year under belt. There's a lot worse than her, but it's a little hard to jus' a-dore her after that...

Blake Patraw

UPDATE: OZY media has officially been shut down LMAO

Blake Patraw

i mean perc 30s are basically blues / dirty 30s, its just a perc w no acetaminophen in it (and in all reality just pressed fent since i don't think they actually make those anymore)

Blake Patraw

i read your blog post and find it hard to disagree with. the way it seems now the majority of the unvaccinated will succumb to the virus at one point or another and we will reach herd immunity through vaccination and the small remaining few who are just surrounded by vaccinated people and got lucky. guess we'll see how it goes this coming winter when cases spike again and we probably get to your 4000 deaths a day that you mentioned in the post

THEKILLERWHALE

Werner Herzog, the GOAT: The office was turned into a studio for the execrable Carlos Watson Show and my job tasks had slowed to editing the transcripts of his shows where I got to see him try to insuinate himself into the lives of a steady stream of celebrities, all while asking the same questions. (Hats off to Werner Herzog for telling Watson who was making a play to “hang out” that they could meet in “400 years.”)
