Blowback’s Brendan James and Noah Kulwin join us to discuss the permanently ill Bolsonaro, new dispatches from the desk of Donald Trump, and of course, new developments relating to Cuba. We discuss the embargo, protests, domestic social media campaigns, and of course, Mr. Worldwide’s take. Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We’re joined by Tides of History’s Patrick Wyman today to take a historical look on things, starting with a brief discussion of the assassination of Haitian president Moïse, and the increasing privatization of violence. We then turn to Patrick’s new book The Verge, examining the crucial years of the Renaissance, and investigating just how and why western Europe transformed from a global backwater to the world dominating colossus it became for the last few centuries. Finally, we ask who’s actually more threatening to the “elites”: JD Vance or  Matthew McConaughey?Check out Patrick’s book The Verge here: https://www.twelvebooks.com/titles/patrick-wyman/the-verge/9781538701171/ Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We’re joined by original rap genius Gangsta Boo (@GangstaBooQOM) to discuss Warren Beatty’s perhaps overlooked 1998 political satire “Bulworth”. Is this the masturbatory ego fantasy of the white male liberal psyche, or is there something actually hilarious and genius going on here? Is it all just a dream? Does 61 year old actor/director/producer Beatty have “bars”? We report, you decide. Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What’s one band you’re ALWAYS thinking about? We start asking some universal questions. Then, we take a pair of articles that again push the idea of Biden as a transformational progressive president and ask who are they for? Why do we keep getting these? Aren’t we all just eating ice cream? C’mon man. Finally, we turn to the federalist to learn about the “flyover women”.

The Best Show's Tom Scharpling stops by to discuss his new memoir “It Never Ends,” being a long-term Trump-watcher, Billys Crystal & Joel, online bullying, and bathrooms from hell. We then read the most inane Megan McArdle we’ve ever read on the show, and discover that even a McArdle piece about pie being good contains some nuggets of libertarian nonsense.Find Tom’s book here: https://tomwroteabook.com/ Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

536 - In The Bunker (6/28/21)

Tuesday Jun 29, 2021

Tuesday Jun 29, 2021

It’s a jumbo sized Chapo today, starting with a return of our smash hit segment “Animal Facts” to start off with 20 min of levity and speculation on which of Nature’s magnificent creatures are conduits to the spiritual and/or extraterrestrial world. Then, after one of Will’s maybe sweatiest ever transitions, we move on to discussing the tragic Miami condo collapse and the narrowing aperture of improvement in American life. Finally, we read from two accounts of the last days of the Trump Administration, confirming a lot of what we suspected, and adding a few more juicy details of what Trump, Rudy and the gang were actually up to on Jan. 6. Also there’s a little bonus segment on “Woke Capitalism” and the future of “Trumpism” as a political project at the end.

We lead off pouring one out for a real one, RIP John McAfee. Then it’s time to wring our hands over our precious institutions while reading a piece demanding we stop telling Justice Breyer to retire. Finally, it’s a double dose of Pure Kass with two of maybe the most inane op-ed columns we’ve ever done on this show.

NYC mayoral elections are tomorrow so we give our final review of the candidates - not great! Then we check in with a Chapo favorite we’ve not discussed in quite a bit but are happy to return to, offering a tentative defense of perhaps The Baseball Crank’s best ever take. Finally, a long and surprisingly thoughtful discussion of modern male intimacy. Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hey all,Matt and I are doing one of these Stitcher Premium shows. It’s called “Hell of Presidents” and it’s our story of American history told through the office of the President. Over 13 narrative episodes and 7 bonus eps, we’re going to be covering the life & presidency of all 46 office holders, attempting to demystify the individuals and discuss them as products of history and the material circumstances around their rise to power. And through that, track the development of the country itself. But also, it’s me doing my best Schoolhouse Rock-level summary of presidential history to set Matt up to go the fuck off and give a close-to-comprehensive Christman analysis of the entire history of America. Plus plenty of opportunity for all the random Presidential trivia and ephemera he has at his command. So Inebriated Past fans, CushVlog fans, this one’s for you.The show will be available on Stitcher Premium starting July 2nd. Use the Patreon-only offer code “CHAPO” for 50% off an annual membership. And like, at this point that’ll get you this, Time For My Stories, the new season of Blowback, plus a bunch of other great stuff there, so, pretty good deal. Find the show here: https://www.stitcherpremium.com/hellMatt and I really hope you guys enjoy this, we’ve been incubating some version of this idea for like two years now, so we’re excited to get it out into the world.Your Napoleon of the Stump,Chris Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
