Rob Delaney stops by to talk healthcare, Bill O'Reilly, sniveling Democrats, and Gorilla Mindset. Then Matt tells us about the Juicero and Felix and Brendan reveal a new single by P.J. Dade, "U Give Me 3nergy."
Message from P.J. Dade below:
I am an evangelical Christian, the owner of a secondhand boat store, and yes, that was me in the news report about “bathroom encounters.”
I sell rudders and motorboards during the day, but I have passions outside of work. Obviously, God is number one. But passion number two is my awesome wife Klyeelissa and my kick butt little guy Mason Jesse James Treibart (the best 4 year old in the world ;) ), Passion the third is, you guessed it, Evangelical EDM.
Yes, Evangelical EDM is the thirteenth largest growing music genre in the entire world, but I'm not in it for money. My entire life, I've been searching for a way to tell people how my soul felt. I tried to find it in the bottle, in the pipe, and yup, through the bathroom stall. But every time I thought I was breaking through, I was just putting barriers between my spirit and the world. With Evangelical EDM, I know that I'm finally speaking the true voice God gave me.
So I decided to send the boys in "The Trap" my newest song, "You Give Me Energy." I could try explaining my life, my journey, my triumphs, and my pain to get these guys to understand who they're mocking when they mock evangelicals, but they wouldn't understand it. the universal language of music is how neighbors can see eye to eye, though. It's been like that since the Book of Genesis, and it's like that now.
So without further ado, I hope you can begin to start to think about considering who I really am, and who you could be.
Blessing throughout you, your family, and the world.
"You Give Me Energy" lyrics
[intro]
This song is dedicated
To a group of people I fail every day
But they're special enough to forgive me
I'm talking about my family and the Lord Jesus Christ
Let's go
Every day is just another chance
You can do evil as long as you come right back
Forgiveness is how the angels dance
It doesn't matter if you were born here or in Iraq
You are the best of me
You give me Energy
Once I was lost at sea
You give me energy
He's in our hearts before the coffee's in our cups
God is our breath every time we hiccup
He is the fistul of uppers when we crash
He will pump your stomach if you swallow sin for cash
You are the best of me
You give me energy
You wipe the sweat from me
You give me energy
Slouched in a stall, my luck's run out
I refuse to die, refuse to doubt
He is with me all around
I pick myself up off the ground
‘Cause even if you relapse in the hole
Your Wife understands it’s one step towards your goal
You are the best of me
You give me energy
The Holy Ghost nests in me
You give me energy
[outro]
I'm sorry for everything that I have done
That I will do, and haven’t done
And you're welcome for our son

The international supervillain Sebastian Gorka (James Adomian) calls into the show again, recently hampered by a conspiracy exposing him as a member of the Hungarian fascist Vitézi Rend. Will it stop his plans to push out all other top Trump advisers and achieve global domination?

We talk with writer Angela Nagle about her work studying the alt-right, its different stripes, divisions, and contradictions. Far before Milo fell from grace, Angela predicted that the alt-right would splinter and cannibalize sooner rather than later.

The dry boys are back, recording from Felix's new dirty disgusting apartment. We talk about Mike Flynn's resignation, some dumb Trump shit, and WaPo's moronic article about coughing that lound blount.
Then Matt reviews the new show "ABP," a program about how great it would be if Peter Thiel took over a police precinct. We close with a reading series from a particularly soft Trump supporter, professional scold Mark Bauerlein.

The genius Tim Heidecker is on the show, we talk about Alex Jones selling out, comedy in the age of Trump, and President Hamburgler wandering around the White House in the dark with old cartoon-style pajamas and a candle. We conclude with a new entry of "True Allegiance," with a special reading from Tim as Brett Hawthorne.

UNLOCKED: The first of two premium offerings this week -- this one is a discussion with Amber about the late Mark Fisher and his work.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The full trap in effect, plus special guest Sam Kriss (@sam_kriss), all of us covering the inauguration of President Wario.
Weak chinned neo-Nazi Richard Spencer got his head caved in, protesters burned a limo, Colby became an anarchist, irony was shot through the head, and the gang went to Red Lobster for a lovely meal.

This is the first of a two-part radio play/tabletop game run by Virgil, who locked us in a room to play Call of Cthulhu. Turning the clock back to the 1920s, the guys act out a Lovecraftian cosmic horror-noir.
Will plays a disturbed, incestuous race scientist, Felix a military valor-stealer turned jazz vocalist, and Matt a medically trained decrepit foot fetishist. They receive an odd message from a grotesque, half-man, half-baseball that leads them to uncover dark secrets in the heart of our young nation’s capital…

Mystery Science Theater 3000’s Bill Corbett stops by the mansion to join us in pummeling the life out of conservative entrepreneur and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza's stupid and bizarre documentary "Hillary's America." The movie is obviously racist and creepy and hilarious and the only accurate costumes were KKK robes.

This was actually a pretty fun episode considering that we recorded it frantically after a very good interview was incinerated by this week's parade of techincal snafus.
We discuss the Trump pee-pee tapes, Steve Harvey, Jon Chait, and the inauguration. We then take live questions from listeners, taped at the time of the recording. If you wanted to ask your question, you should've asked earlier when we were taping the show.
Brendan’s computer crashed so we lost half of our first recording for this episode, but all the good parts were mostly salvaged, as well as a bad part where Amber’s cat takes a wicked shit that smelled horrible and we whine about having to deal with it.
The second half was recorded the next day and it’s our second official reading of Ben Shapiro’s catshit novel “True Allegiance.” Ultimately everything turned out alright.

We also have a chat with writer Alexander Zaitchik about his dispatch from Trumpland, the subject of his new book, "Gilded Rage."

This week we talk to journalist Maria Hengeveld about her new piece in Slate covering Nike's supply chain and embrace of the "Girl Effect," which has allowed female Vietnamese workers to lean in without the distraction of a living wage.
Later, we talk about the dorks on the alt-right and their nemeses, and ours, on the elevator-right, i.e. the pear-shaped Catholic failsons who suffer from chronic public entrapment.

It's a Troopcast. In this snipeasode, bona fide Troop Adrian Bonenberger joins us to discuss his travels in Ukraine, chatting with Nazis, his background in the military, and what really goes in ranger camp. And we initiate his upcoming podcast into the Trap cartel.
One last thought, and we would urge you to consider this: Mr. Obama, the president, wants to nail a young man's toy clock onto the pedastool of the White House, instead of a shoe from a troop's widow. We hope at some point in time perhaps the Mr. President should give this some thought.

We unpack the literary faceplant of Le Wonkgirl's ill-advised treatise on Juanita Broaddrick. Finally, we review Cato's new report on the state of freedom in America, specifically the freedom to drink raw milk and marry your cousin.
On the inaugural episode of Frost/Christman, Amber and Matt discuss a time in America when rampant paranoia and distrust in government and corporate institutions generated a wave of thrillers about the malevolence of the Powers that Be. With special attention paid to the Alan Pakula duology of ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN and THE PARALLAX VIEW, as well as 70s fashions, horny journalists, and weed-dealing movie producers.

In episode 30 we rejoin the adventures of Ross Douthat Boy Detective with a little help from our producer, Brendan James aka @deep_beige. First we discuss the headlines that mattered this week, such as Rich Piana's divorce, an article about us, and Brendan's latest piece in Slate.
But the true meat of this episode is the grandest Chapo Reading Series yet -- a return to the source, the Book of Ross, "Privilege," which we first unearthed all the way back in Episode 3. Having mastered the initial texts of Douthat, we dive deeper into the record of his life and loves at Harvard, his hatred of birth control, and his fevered visions of jihadists killing goth kids in Boston.

What does this all mean? And why has Matt finally relented and used the F-word after witnessing all this?

In the inaugural episode of the Chapo Trap House Podcast, Felix Biederman (@ByYourLogic), Matt Christman (@Cushbomb), and Will Menaker (@willmenaker) discuss logical fallacies and take a sideways glance at a wacky week in US politics that saw Bernie win Michigan, Hillary support the Contras and Reagan's AIDS policies, and Trump getting kicked out of Chicago. We also game out the possible post politics career of Marco Rubio and pledge our support to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. All this plus much, much more.
