    Ought to keep their heads down
    These guys sound like privileged babies. Spent all campaign tearing down Biden and Harris and now acting like they didn’t contribute to MAGA empowerment. These guys have really short memories. I remember them saying just a few months ago that they couldn’t really imagine how Trump could be worse on Palestine than Biden! Now that Trump is arresting protestors they probably won’t even recognize their lack of imagination. They just sound like clever nerds in a dorm.
  • TronnyDump
    Why?
    This flight was booked for me three decades ago by my favorite great grandma, she said that I would get married in Hawaii on the third of February 2025, needless to say the guys at chapo refused to hold up their marriage vows and left me at the altar 😞
  • Gunasti2
    Libs be damned
    “Whining about Biden’s Gaza policy a week after Trump got elected” is a winning endorsement for me. F the phonies

    Days of Future Wally George
    The snide little Berner (I guess?) calls To the audience to not get kettled On bridges or tunnels Saying he just watches online videos Of kettlings all the live long day We need healthcare [crisis] cries the publisher’s Son, who may have left a borough for 2 weeks, laying on an air horn if he hasn’t said that in 2 years Or the guest hasn’t brought it up The little gamer struggles to not say a slur And emasculates the few that point it out This self interested opportunism will lead To midmorning sobs online and on mic For a hope they never held Clearly these days of Future Wally George Shine soft and cool against the wire These soon helmet haired thunderheads Small rats that love the sinking ship As it’s named The Moon & made of cheese

    Was great 4 years ago
    Hard to listen to now, anywhere Brace’s dumb opinions pop up is a quick unsubscribe. Mostly feels like killing time, not informative or entertaining
  • hugeload420
    oh yeah
    I love chapo but my god stop bringing in Alex Nichols he is so unfunny I can’t stand it. I’m sure he’s great in person or whatever but stop subjecting me to his unfunny interjections and dull commentary pleeeeease
  • Bob Garfield
    Who is this for?
    Listened to this recent “Tuna Melt” episode and the first five minutes of it was completely unfunny. Didn’t this used to be a comedy show in support of democratic socialist ideals? Now it’s apparently about pulling strings out of a dog’s butt (no literally, listen to the episode, I wish I was lying).
  • Stavvy Stan
    Gray Wolves rise up!🤘
    Spectacular podcast, I saw them at a Live show and it was hilarious, glad to hear Matt Christman recently but much love to the entire Trap
  • Universe speaks 999
    no thanks
    pseudo intellectualism and misogyny
  • Former grantland listener
    On “Seeking a Frend for the end..”
    We did not need the worst Chapo thinking for that long. Please less of whatever that was supposed to be.

    Something’s missing without Matt. I hope they can figure it out.

    Your cynicism is amazing
    I can’t wait till the maggots have to pay 30% more for eggs. I hope they suffer every day for what they did.

    Hesse and Will got me listening to the pod again
    I’m not your demographic (50 yr old mom) but a fan of CTH. I haven’t listened in a while but I’ve never enjoyed anything more than the recent Movie Mindset series with Will and Hesse. I don’t even like horror movies but these episodes were so good. Please have these two do more. I would listen to them recap anything!

    This is a podcast that I enjoy listening to.

    Murder isn’t Funny. Sorry Guys.
    Calling the two attempted Donnypants assassination attempts “hilarious.”? A father was murdered in cold blood and two others critically bullet-ridden. Hard pass on your brand of “humor.” Mmmmmkay… buh bye.
  • While Post
    Smug
    Right all the time except when they’re wrong, in which case they’re condescending. They make a point of showing how little they care (Trump is such a laff) except when they clearly care more than anyone else. Endless mocking of other politics people, which is whatever, but it’s all just so facile to be this righteous and doom-pilled when you clearly have never really tried engaging with power and all you’ve ever really done was make a podcast.
  • Fernando Infanzon
    Unbearably dumb…
    Hey guys, I think they dislike Israel. Not sure if anyone’s picked up on that yet.
  • Bunny Cub
    $172,000 a month for this?
    I’d talk like this if I made that much too. Basically a bunch of rich white guys saying they won’t vote. They’re also the laziest millionaires ever they do nothing interesting with their money.
  • Landeez
    Fallen off hard
    All of the worthwhile hosts are gone, so now we’re stuck with a couple of 90 IQ middle-aged rich kids who’ve never held a real job and would love to tell you how they hate Israel.
  • the real raskol
    I’m out
    Without Christman I don’t understand the appeal of Chapo. Get well soon Matt!
  • Joey Tux
    I think I’ve outgrown this show.
    Under Trump, they were a source of catharsis. When Bernie was running, they were a source of hope. Under Biden, they were like a friend I was attached to even though whenever we talked we made each other feel worse. Then in 2022 they convinced me to sit through Avatar: the Way of Water in theaters, and that’s something I don’t think I’ll ever forgive.
  • jballsa
    Where’s Matt!
    I used to listen to this all the time tuned back in but not Matt? What’s up with that ?
  • esidarap
    Once funny, now boring
    Filler banter from self-anointed experts with no actual real-world experience in — apparently — anything. The bit used to be funny, but now it just seems trite, tired, boring, and stupid. Like the dude in (their) frat house who never grows up. The various spin-offs and guest appearances by unknown liberal luminaries just further dilutes the show. Too bad. It used to be edgy and fun. Now it’s a just a borefest from people who clearly can’t think past the cash cow that keeps their mortgage current.
  • HurricaneBrax
    To quote the current generation “mid”
    This is just a bunch lispy 1/2 “tags” attempting to be the new hot take bros. Almost makes me hope for round 3 so some of their friends can culled.
  • Bleeee23
    Audio hard to hear in 4/224
    Not sure if the audio engineer will see this, but I think the noisegate was too aggressive or something, maybe just dial in the attack and release. It was pretty hard to discern certain words at the end of sentences, particularly with Felix. Love the show, keep up the good work
  • Mikey Da Blaster
    Irony Poisoned "Political Analysis"
    Do you want to hear what a bunch of straight, white, cis gender males have to say on politics? Me neither. Matt C's gave this show a patina of intellectualism that no longer exists. Mark my words: if Biden get re-elected they'll be disbanding the show within a year.
  • Myrnoid
    When it’s good it’s good
    It’s like a dog that’s getting on in years; you learn to appreciate when it’s really *on* because you’re in some way aware that your time to do so is limited. Get well soon Mr. Cushman
  • PetePPetePPete
    A nihilistic but clear-eyed view
    Not much to offer in the way of solutions, but that’s the world we live in as oligarchies are becoming monopolies and we approach the singularity of capitalism. At least these guys find some humor in it all. Dim-witteds will say this podcast is a played out trope of nihilist masculine, leftist politics.. but I’d love to find out where else this is actually being played out. Everywhere else I look is full of cosmopolitan, bourgeois neoliberalism. Keep up the struggle.
  • bjohns383
    Still Good
    I haven’t seen a single one of those movies and I listened to every minute of that oscar episode. turns out these guys are still pretty funny.
  • Godot2
    Rewrote my Brain
    Chapo Trap House endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. Chapo was always here. Before man was, Chapo waited for him. The ultimate podcast awaiting its ultimate listener. That is the way it was and will be.

    Inspiring
    In the absence of Matt Christman, this show has taken on new, amazing directions. It’s inspiring to hear two adult men struggle through their dyslexia for an hour—special needs children around the world have something to aspire to!
  • flexismart
    Ugh!
    It’s an insufferable sausage fest of pseudo intellectual maybe-isms. Blech!!

    Good
    Not the same lately but quite funny when they “turn it on”
  • kdm91212
    One of my favorites
    Longtime listener. Just one of the best.
  • MadmanDrew
    Bleak, pessimistic, and nihilistic.
    I found the podcast to be juvenile and nihilistic. The hosts are insufferable and every time I listened to an episode I would come out feeling terrible. It comes across as bleak gallows humor that mocks the world being terrible while not offering a way forward. I’ve found leftist podcasts out there that can poke fun at our broken system while still encouraging listeners to fight on every front. This is not one of them.
