We’ve got the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, saber rattling over a war against Mexican cartels, plus we meet a delightful new character out of the great state of Tennessee, wish a bittersweet farewell to an old friend, and FINALLY take those damn smoke detectors down a peg or two. All that and a side of meat salad in today’s ep.

Brandon died on the way back to his home planet.

Benjamin Hoy

Your mom's meat salads are delicious.

Mickey Foley

I demand weekly updates on Rod Dreher's career circling the drain.

T

Please, Rod

Alexandr

THE MIC BOOST WILL

Alexandr

CHRIS TELL WILL TO TURN THE FUCKING MIC BOOST *OFF*

Daniel Martínez González

My very first chapo episode was Rod's musings about his friend's wife being possesed and not having a crisis because she went to mass everyday and grinding the trad. It was fascinating and we never got an update, probably never will. All those posts will be lost but his fruityness will be in our hearts. Good night, sweet prince.

KHL

Great episode... now that he's in need of an income stream, RD could consider setting up his own (man) milking plant, he could get JP to partner.

Pelican Grief

Love when my loser friends who live in my phone are having fun

skrrt vonnegut

People are out here making sous vide steaks without searing the shit afterwards?

T

Audiophile, the second worst type of -phile

MeatStepLively

My wife’s family is from Sheboygan and they have a raw plate of piggly wiggly ground beef out every Christmas. Should I tell them it’s sus? Or not be the gay Chicago boy?

Major bit me

Love and hate are two sides of the same coin

K H

If you're married they already know and axcept you as gay.

Where we go one we go ALL

MoriBones

the slop is particularly scrumptious today

Ian H

Love thinking about a peacekeeping mission into El Norte immediately turning into a fully kinetic intra-natsec drug war between Arlington and Langley.

Alexandr

It's my fault Will sounds like he's clipping with every word? I'm not an audiophile even, I just can't stand hearing every word cause static clipping in my fucking speakers. Besides, isn't this why they have a producer? If not to deal with the absolute most RUDIMENTARY of sound quality concerns, why even have Chris around?

Alexandr

That, and I can't do jack or shit on my end to change how badly Will clips in most of the last 100 fucking episodes. I can't do ANYTHING about this other than complain that he clearly doesn't know what he's doing with his own microphone settings after 7 years of doing a show where it might be incentivized to know.

Evan

They want to invade Mexico on the job site. It's not good, these people love this news cycle hype shit

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

Looking at this description you KNOW it’s gonna be a good episode

PJ Renteria

Vince McMahon and his family literally did what Will suggested for over 20 years.

Paul F. Holzfäller

Kevin McCarthy talking about “woke banks” just like the complete dipshit that we all know him to be. That guy needs to bounce his head off the floor like Mitch McConnell.

calvin kilby

As a Hornets fan... I second that the owner has to play. MJ does too.

Zach Pierce

We are a COMMUNITY BANK. We just happen to be in MANY high net worth communities. Now can we have our bank socialism please? We will engage in no more gay repurchase agreements and bi sweep accounts.

Zach Pierce

Chris please hit the DOLBY button on the Chapo Tape Deck

THEKILLERWHALE

Why does every silicon valley startup idea sound like a Mr. Show sketch? There has to be a better way!

Mike McNally

Finally, a famous McNally. Makes me proud of the name.

William

Love that these libertarian assholes toss aside their copy of the road to serfdom the minute their wealth is at risk

Mike McNally

Oh yeh, I love the 'people weren't eating vegetables 10'000 years ago' - no, people were eating fricking dandelion roots and grinding up goddamn grass seeds and making cakes out of pounded pond reeds. Because we hadn't domesticated most vegetables yet. You show a caveman a carrot, or like a 4 pound potato and they'd go nuts for it! It took about 5000 years to domesticate corn.

miltonic

Glad to hear felix more lucid, hope he is doing well!

Doug Cartel

Christman did hit on something I've been seething about for a while, which is the resentment politics that drags first responders into arguments over fast food workers. "Burger flippers making more money than EMTs???? That's bullshit!!! make them work for less!" Not one word about how fucking bullshit private ambulance services are. nationalize AMR and go from there.

Doug Cartel

speaking of Peter Thiel, the Nazis thought young blood healed their troops faster and a lot of russian children were bled dry on that bullshit.

William

“Armies are bad” nah, our expectations of what war is like are not correct

Doug Cartel

damn, Mcnally knows Devon the selfie slut?

Isaac Jones

Felix opening the episode with some good riffs off the bat, are we back??

T

Anglophile is just a synonym of pedophile

JV

we get this in the UK too. a fairly prominent doctor who campaigns against the govt. wrecking of the NHS etc. made her point about how badly paid junior doctors are by comparing them to barista's wages. so unhelpful!

T

I'm not even sure what "static clipping" means, so I enjoyed the episode

Doug Cartel

Nature doc: This lion hasn't eaten in 3 days.Will she get this giraffe? Nope, oh well, better luck next time Pampered nerds: damn, that's based meat only kings

Mark

Felix is so back. Happy that he’s feeling better

Ian H

I mean, I think that's true, but it's also just been a very long time without a major conflict between two fully mobilized modern militaries like we're seeing in Ukraine. For instance, people have theorized for decades that cheap, light, highly effective infantry missile systems and highly accurate artillery had essentially made tanks obsolete, but they still did well enough in imperial brushfire wars and proxy conflicts to keep getting made. Tank losses by both sides in Ukraine would seem to suggest this might be true. There's almost certainly more cases where militaries simply don't know what the gaps between doctrine, technology and practical application are yet.

NYCM&AHole

Hell yes, Matt. Mettbrötchen are great and you can still get them in the fatherland

Ardy Rezv

Chapo boys. Do you think DWS owned Taibbi? Haven’t heard you guys really get into any of that. I’m sure you think it’s cringe right wing to talk about but would love to hear your opinion on those hearings.

Damen Irving

WSJ’s opinion page really is an untapped well of absolutely insane takes.

Well aged meme

yeah feels much better to listen to.

dd

Will on making sure the US/MEX border is wheelchair accessible for Abbott … Lmao

Roger Peet

Unfortunately I can report that they are DEFINITELY building the border wall. South Texas next month.

Demented Avenger

C'mon, how effective was Rod in his evil? Like you said, he was Evil's court jester, the guy the Babylon Bee wants to be. He was really just some kid in his mom's basement but with some weird sugar daddy. Plus I need to listen to you guys reading a Rod column when I'm on edibles. You have no idea how funny he is while high.

Thomas Carroll

Scott Grabel

One of Justin Roiland’s last appearances was voiceover for “Half in the Bag”, and he must of known the hammer was coming down and wanted to get one more credit before his name became a disgrace.

Sydney

my house did burn down as a child, and I noticed the smoke and fire and told my parents before the smoke alarm ever went off 👀

Sam Zeng

Every army in the world is dog shit. Its literally a make work program.

Pat

Please please please ask Jane Fonda to go one the show

Derwood

Englert theatre, Iowa City baby! Disappointed I wasn’t a listener at the time, sounds like it was a great show with a complimentary fire drill

etienne

i saw that dick milking clip and i had psychosomatic balls ache. if you jack off to this, congrats, that's almost impressive

etienne

Based epic right-wingers want to think they're red-pilled by their dream lifestyle is the deal that Cypher was proposing to Neo to remain blue pilled. "Oooo I want to eat 2 kilograms of fresh meat every day and not spend an hour on the toilet bowl" okay fine. get back in the pod and jack in the brain trodes

Zack Burke

Rod go on Seeking Derangements

Tim O'

Nationalize ASMR too while you're at it.

Tim O'

Rod and Randy McNally roundtable, LFG

HyeRaffi

Armenian army is good, but I also think they’re like one of the the only armies with a like, genuine cause they care about that they’re fighting lmao

Baron

Viktor Orban! Hold me tighter! I think I’m sinking down. And I’m all strung out on ThielBucks, On the outskirts of town.

Baron

Great publishing company too

Sam Zeng

She has PAVN mindset

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

Matt tricks Rod into coming onto the show by promising him a plate of oysters

stop watcherman

Felix firing on all cylinders this ep reminds me why I signed up in the first place

Sam

Bravo to the chapos for not changing any of their positions on Russia and Ukraine since the basic bullshit they vomited feb 22.

Axel H.

There's definitely a limit to how much pointing out hypocrisy actually matters, and yeah, I'm trying not to get too worked up over the insanely flagrant hypocrisy of these tech bros whining for a bailout (and getting one, no matter what the Biden administration) while opposing regulations and student loan forgiveness, but I am seeing more varieties of people noticing something isn't right here, not just leftists. Maybe the fact that we don't let wealthy people lose their money is one of the few truths and principles that this country upholds is starting to seem like an issue to some.

Mad Larkin

yo its skrrt vonnegut

Thom

ooooh yeah

dawood

i hope jane fonda hears this <3

Saga

Didn't know Felix hurt his foot, not at all surprised it was because of a smoke alarm. I fell off a chair trying to shut one up at 3am once. Glad to hear him sounding better though.

Brandon Steele

Sorry Will for Rod getting cutoff. I know his articles meant a lot to you. I will contribute if the chapo community wants to commission rod for more articles

Kamran Husain

i’m here to help any chapo aficionado with their cardio needs, the keys is to try less hard and do it for more time. eat less and move more to reduce your mass friendos

Beehive Fucker

I'm beginning to think this Rod Dreher fellow might be secretly homosexual!

Thom

you guys should get Cory Doctorow on. I like the cut of his jib

AKorgar

Oh they must be paid agents I guess

Post Void

Anyone remember the USS Maine explosion and how it was used as a false flag pretext against Spanish Cuba to galvanize the Spanish American War, all under the mantra of Manifest Destiny? Also remember when many of these same senators (they are ancient) help capitulate the US/Iran/Contra affair? Remember the ATF Gunwalking Scandal? Hmm, this "Let's invade Mexico over the cartels" sounds pretty damn familiar and it seems if anyone is to blame here it's a classic example of "who smelt it, delt it".

Borangehat

This is why Ted Cruz has been going to freakin' Cancun so much.

Post Void

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kurdistan is also heavily related in that too. It's more of a political epicenter than most realize.

Post Void

Well they all own submarine bays- I mean mansions in either Martha's Vineyard or the Florida Keys.

MKatieUltra

Ren and Stimpy warped my young mind but probably paved the way for Sarah Squirm. So, a wash.

saintbeau

🐐 CLAYNECAST MENTIONED 🐐

Dan

Tech bro brain is the result of rich people always getting bailed out. It is in itself a kind of social and societal cancer.

Dan

Taibbi’s was always was a blowhard clout chaser. He deserves no airtime- no issue with him getting fed to the dogs in congress.

Ian H

Dude, it's probably just my paranoia, but the details and timing of that botched kidnapping/double murder in Matamoros are . . .weird, to say the least.

C. Ries

If you joke "President Xi please nuke us" enough times you become a tankie thats the rules

Reece Coren

need more chapo world baseball classic content

J.P. McD.

Doc Brown: "We're back."

Charlie Moe

Please post a Rod Compilation or something

K

Ya heard about "Too Big to Fail". Get ready for "Too Woke to Choke".

MC Prescott

Felix reminding me of Timmy thick was something I could have never seen coming

Ardy Rezv

Shit I thought we liked him for the last 20 years. But you’re right he’s always been a cringe right wing clout chaser. So cringe.

J.P. McD.

Is this a thing where online left foreign policy dorks repeat the date the war started in 2022 as if it’s “Jan 6th” or “9/11”?

Darbley

A few months ago my 7 year old daughter and I were having a sleepover and the smoke alarm malfunctioned at about 2am due to a low battery. It's one of these newer ones that screams "fire detected!!!!!". She freaked. It took me quite awhile to prove to her there was no fire. Glad I was sleeping with her at least....

Ian H

His 2020 ep with Will and Amber is one of 4 Chapo episodes that I didn't finish. Repugnant opportunism.

J P 3

The hero of last week is the VC who was in the chat saying "withdraw your money from SVB". He does it -- withdraws his personal savings and funds from business accounts. This genius has a second thought: "hey, despite the fact there is a bank run going on right now, I know the CEO of SVB, he's a great guy, the stock looks cheap". So he transfers the money to brokerage accounts Thursday, and buys SVB stock. Unlike the depositors who are getting bailed out, he's now in the position of a shareholder, meaning he is likely getting completely wiped out (he didn't specify how much, but indicates its at least a portion of funds). He tweeted about this on Saturday, which is another layer of genius.

MKatieUltra

Actually true for Barbarella as well.

ScottB

I can not stop laughing at "JSON Peterson"

Beijing Sausage

Do they actually talk about the guy in picture?

Maxiumite

That is Randy McNally

Hressi_strakurinn

There was an update to that story in some live show

Laurel

After banking, maybe 1/4 into the podcast they bring up Randy for a little while.

Frank Ervin

wills lindsey graham impression is tops 👌🏼👍🏼

Michael Ouderkirk

In Rand McNally they wear hats on their feet and ass eats you.

Ascetic Blur

Rod may you spend your retirement making young Hungarian men extremely uncomfortable.

Terrance McDonald

One of my wife’s coworkers, who makes like 80,000 a year, didn’t get her paycheck because of Silicon Valley Bank closing. My wife works at a supplement corporation. Not like Herbalife lol. She’s not Mikey miles. It’s like a legit vitamin manufacturing company. But one of her coworkers does contracting work outside of the company and, the tech company that pays her couldn’t send her paycheck because their money was tied up in SVB. So I think most of the people getting screwed over by the bank closing or probably people we don’t know or hear about. But of course, they will be made whole long after the people responsible will be.

etienne

didn't they get obliterated by azerbaijan like 2 years ago?

HyeRaffi

Our relationship w/ Kurds is complicated, bc most of their groups took part in the Armenian genocide and a lot of (mostly Turkish national) Kurds still have innate (and genocidal) Armenophobia, but there were a few Kurdish groups that also saved Armenians during the genocide, and some Kurdish groups today (like the PKK) support Armenians. So it depends on the group of Kurds!

HyeRaffi

Yeah they committed an ethnic cleansing form of genocide against Artsakhsi Armenians, but they had an army like 10+ times larger than ours and support from Israel, NATO, the US, Syrian jihadis (whom they purchased), and Russia (although Russia played both sides), while Armenia mostly just had our own (tiny) army and our own weapons, with minor aid from the US, Iran, and India. The fact we held out as long as we did and as well as we did is a testament to our army’s skill and dedication

I am become reply guy

I love how structural Felix’s memory of the vet bringing his dog to the gym is to his worldview.

Porblorbulon

I worked with a woman just in her thirties who hated Jane Fonda because her dad said she got our soldiers killed somehow, couldn't get any more specific of course, but absolutely convinced. Also thought cars from the 50s were safer because they were bigger.

chronye

0% interest rates are just neoliberal socialism .. a fix for the fact that a company can make a bunch of money and employ/insure a bunch of people but not quite break even/profit so the govt tops em off

Andrew Conrad

Yes , they have to keep repeating it because no one cares .

Sam

The entire world cares. And is paying close attention. Amazing how chapo and their fans have literally turned into the same hyper-ironic, drugged out, nihilistic Chauvinists that they spent so much time expertly analyzing. Its easily the most important historical event of the last 20 years. You’re a fucking loser if you pretend to care about politics and don’t care about it.

Logan

@Sam no u

etienne

oh right yeah i forgot you had really bad ping and lag and your mouse was sticky

etienne

auto and mortgage rates were like the lowest ever for a decade. not to be cheering too hard for crapitalism but the consumer did benefit from zirp that's the whole point.

M.R. Alchemist

Isn't a war with the cartels the plot of the most recent Call of Duty?

Tim O'

The next most evil thing after Kevin Spacey? Makes sense

Gay Tito

Are you Going to talk about the Marianne Williamson run?

Jack

heyyy

Geneyus

babe, are you flirting with Gay Tito in the CTH patreon comments? godspeed <3

AKorgar

Okay thanks Sam, kisses

Khemith

Having dumbass hillbillies being killed by cartels operators is the goal; dead white faces on the scree.

Eamon Short

Goddamn, Jane Fonda is zo fucking based
