hey Chris, was there , if any, bonus episodes for Hell of Prezzies?

Collyn Marsh

Yeah there were like five or six I think.

chapotraphouse

yup. There are 14 "narrative" eps taking us up through Biden's election, then 6 bonus eps on a few distinct topics + just some fun stuff, 20 eps total.

Brendan Burns

I wanna buy this series for my dad. Please help!

Olivia Kali

This is such an essential and detailed analysis of this era, love it

chapotraphouse

It will be available in the digital shop as soon as we’ve finished posting it!

David Niescior

Was that a Slow Burn reference in there?

I think y'all coulda talked a little bit more about how stagflation, from an econ perspective, is the result of over-stimmied aggregate demand (all that military keynesianism) and a supply shock (the oil supply shocks started during the 1967 6 day war was the first time the oil supply was shocked). I think that reality is basically what puts the wind at the back of friedman, since it provides an imperial justification for supply side economics.

Fantastic ep, tho. Hell of prezzies is such a gem

Sam Zeng

GOAT ep. I am Nixon pilled

vibe cop

power corruption and lies…. new order reference??

John Leavitt

Carter was the first neoliberal true-believer in austerity and personal virtue, having the white house kitchen use leftovers and sleeping in his car on the campaign AKA The Onion;s Our Dumb Century's "Let's talk wearing sweaters"/"NUKE THE BASTARDS"

John Leavitt

but he did allow craft beer to come into existence so whose to say it was good or bad

i was wondering why there have been more needle drops in these later episodes and then realized al jolson probably would’ve been a little jarring during the coolidge bits

Blorst of times

Can anyone recommend a good Curtis LeMay biography?

Mark Schneider

Rick Perlstein's book "Nixonland: The Rise of a President & the Fracturing of America" is the best coverage of the time period 1965--76 in USA-land. I appreciate Matt's hat tip to another Perlstein title about Reagan in Perlstein's trilogy, in the title of this episode.

No Relation to Henry

Who was the fourth president in Dallas the day of the Kennedy assassination besides Kennedy, GHWB, and Nixon?

No Relation to Henry

Surely it wasn’t take your son to work day at the CIA, was it?

No Relation to Henry

I do find it very funny imagining George H.W. Bush and Nixon both being in Dallas on the same day, Bush to allegedly do super secret assassination-related things and Nixon to attend a soda conference.

Jason Matthews

I believe it was Ford, later empanelled in the Warren Commission.

End 2018-Present Alt Uniform Now

Thank you for “The Victors” drop for Ford #HAIL #GOBLUE #NATIONALCHAMPS All the more appropriate too since he often had it played at state events instead of “Hail to the Chief”. Interestingly Ford played prior to the era where two-platoon football became standard and was also a standout center.

After re-listening to the True Anon JFK 101, Deep State 101, JFK 201, and Bush did 9/11 series, I can’t accept Ford acting in good faith pardoning Nixon the way Matt suggests here. He pardoned him to avoid a potential trial that would have been the polar opposite of a limited hangout. This is the same guy who personally changed the location of the exit wound on JFK’s body in the Warren report (vs the coroners report) to match the report’s story of a single shooter which was refuted by the House Select committee in the 70s. Also weren’t Rummy and Cheney on his staff? It all lines up a little too perfectly

Carter just went on TV and was like "Nah you're not getting the Great Society anymore, you get the Dollar Menu Society."

The Children of Jack Acid

2016 was ALMOST a year when the decision of who to run as candidate wasn't decided until the Primary. Or, at least, that's the way it felt at the time. Ahhh, naivete!

Damen Irving

I lived in Grand Rapids for a few years while in college and I’ve been to the ford museum and biked past the presidential tomb a ton. It’s really nice

Reece Coren

Crazy how both of Ford’s attempted assassins have blaring MK Ultra connections. It’s almost like the ones pulling the strings wanted Nelson Rockefeller in there instead.

Agent Grange

Estrogen would have fixed Nixon.
