MERCH: chapotraphouse...
We catch up with news over our long week off, including brief hits on the two new years truck attacks (more on that Thursday), MAGA civil war over immigration & visas, various instances of Musk buffoonery, Biden’s presidential medal of freedom recipients, and Semafor’s survey of what people in the media ‘got wrong’ about 2024.

We love Matt Christman, don’t we folks?
We got Matt Christmas for Christman.
🎄🧉🦄👍🏽
Merry Christman to all who celebrate
We really do
❤
He is so back
Vivek putting up a sign in front of every school gate.
"Work will set you free"
We're still ironing the wrinkles back into Matt's brain. Please bear with us.
Made my day to hear Matt back
Mine too
Matt Christman is the sun which never sets. The crop that requires no rain. Our eternal helmsman 🧎🧎♀️🧎♂️
Hearing Matt Christman’s voice again is giving me the same feeling that I get when I take my first sip of coffee in the morning….it’s a soothing/comforting feeling that makes it’s way through my whole body.
I’m gay
@ ….like a fox!
Welcome back Matt! Still killing it with the jokes, here's to a quick recovery
I'm just glad Matt is back. I knew a guy that had a very similar situation happen to him. Took him about 3-4 years, but he basically had a full recovery. I took his public speaking class at a community college after the fact.
The boys are back in town
The boys are black in town

Vivek’s post is so embarrassing because it’s just transparent that he was a nerd in high school and wants revenge. But he’s very successful already - he’s rich, he’s politically influential… what does he have to prove? Someone with any maturity or self awareness would realize that posting about how you’re mentally stunted in 1997 isn’t becoming of a rich and successful adult. Peaked in high school nostalgia is the hallmark of the biggest loser you know.
Clearly his culture uniquely set him up to run such a big healthcare scam lol
@@RIP_Greedo Vivek is the kind of soulless, seething dickyank who will say and do literally anything to get that bag.
Vivek is salty that he wasn’t able to pull a Dinesh D’Souza (joining the rightist grift train to lay mediocre pipe to blonde women
Vivek wanting to be a freestyle rapper makes sense when you realize 8 mile came out 20+ years ago and his cultural references are 20-30 years old.
They call him v rabbit
I’ll see ya on the trail
He wishes every movie had the "Click click boom" song again
Yup Vivek, Americans definitely aren’t overworked to the point where probably 80% of them think Luigi should go free. Nope no burn out here.
I am in a world of burger is already quote of the year
Indeed.
If we have Saint Luigi;
Can we have Anti-Saints? Livelsberger the scorned?
@@kevinboyle9784 tarnished livelsberger
Vivek has the worst case of Little Emperor syndrome I've ever seen in a grown man.
16:40 Vivek Ramaswamy after starting a MAGA civil war: Did I do that?
Its so good to hear Matt again!
Christman has risen!
Glad to hear more of Matt, may his recovery continue!
Thank God, Matt is back.
I love you Mr. Chapo
... stated in the voice of Sebastian Gorka?
@function0077 his heart grew 3 times the size
Hearing Matt’s quips make me happy. Glad he’s doing well
Welcome Back Cushman. Seriously.
Is this Matt's first episode back? I was so surprised to hear him. I'm so happy to hear his voice again!
He was on the Christmas ep two weeks ago
I've been trying to think of how to say Matt sounds great, all things considered, without coming off as condescending... Like, yeah, he's clearly still got a speech impediment, mixing up his words a bit, etc.. I'm glad he's doing as well as he is, without saying 'Oh I'm sure he'll get back to normal any day now' because I don't know if that's on the table for him, and he's still able to be genuinely funny and intelligent even if he's not at 100%. If we're being brutally honest, post-stroke Matt is still best Chapo.
I guess I would point out that _recovering stroke victim_ Matt is able to poke holes in these idiot pundits who get paid for their awful op-eds. We can verifiably assert that these people are stupid on a level that's beyond even brain damage.
it's impressive what he has accomplished in his recovery.
very well said, especially in the latter half. granted, Matt previously was one of the great Marxist thinkers of our time, but I think that even goes further to your point. What's that comic book meme? Look what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power? Matt literally has a handicap and still smokes these op-ed writers intellectually.
It's amazing that he also sounds more coherent than Felix.
Very well said. I don't know what the future holds, but I hope Matt does have a full recovery. No matter what though, he is an invaluable voice in any form.
"American culture celebrates mediocrity." That must be why we inexplicably think Vivek and Elon are "thought leaders" and geniuses.
The Law of Conservative Projection duh...
Who is WE?
It's not just a drain on the best and brightest of other countries for our benefit. We're simultaneously abdicating any responsibility to grow or nurture America's internal talent pool. Why grow your own when you can just pluck the resources of the world at ultra low prices. Yes there are positive effects, primarily for businesses who want cheap skilled workers, but there are downsides for all Americans as well. Now you're competing with a high skill, low cost labor pool sourced from anywhere. It crushes worker's leverage and institutions that are supposed to nurture domestic talent. Your only option is to work harder and accept less. A perfect situation for business and the people who fund both political parties.
This is what empire always does. It exploits the resources of its conquests, diminishint their quality of life while simultaneously letting its own core atrophy, dialectically leading to its own destruction
OUR BIG BOY❤❤
Happy Matt is back😊
50:09 Matt Yglesias “It’s embarrassing to admit that I’m dumber and more gulllible than most ordinary Americans, who have no inside sources other than their eyes and ears.”
its good to hear matt back.
Hey Chapo team, as much as I love that you guys upload the episodes to TH-cam (I am a Patreon paying member but I still appreciate the ease of just using my TH-cam account) I think you guys are missing an opportunity here to take advantage of this visual medium.
I really wish these episodes had picture and visual references of who everyone is talking about, or what the post was, or the tweet, etc etc. I think it would make the videos more engaging, and you probably would get more views on TH-cam as well. Maybe consider hiring a video editor that can do these quick?
Just my thoughts. Otherwise continue the good work ya'll do.
There are half a dozen channels that already do this with their audio and add some visual medium over it. But really why, who cares? They make 200k/month just from patreon, why bother?
So basically every time Felix talks it’s him scrolling twitter
@@berdyderg900 To spread the message bro. Not for the money, but to make the audience who resonates with this ideas grow. By that logic, why bother putting it on TH-cam at all
@@mk-oc7mt A TON of us don't have, don't want or look at tweeter. So yes, it would be useful
Pay the guy who does the Cumtown cartoons, Saul. That should do it. Hell, he can just keep using the cumboys characters.
Return of the King.
Bangin episode. Love from Canada! Were are about to subject ourselves to conservative hell.
I HOPE THEY MAKE SPEAKING FRENCH A FELONY
It is so good to hear Matt's laugh.
Fantastic late Christmas present Mr. Chapo
the whole steve urkel/stefan thing reminds me of the 2010s when incel guys would classify attractive, successful people as "chads" and "stacy's." like they really never moved on from that stuff
Yes, this is not a new phenomenon. It is very old. It's just with the advent of the Internet that these slang terms have been coined and change every few years. Vivek, however, is just decades behind the loser incel curve. In his own terms, he'd be Incel Classic.
@ yes, 100%. the vivek post feels like something from the time before the term "incel" sort of shifted in definition/got placed in a broader scope. it is OG Incel Material.
‘I worked harder’ is the funniest grifter thing because it imagines a world where everybody at the top of something aren’t working equally hard to stay there.
"They told me that I would NATOize Urkel, but I Urkelized NATO, jack!" - Sleepy Genocide Joe Brandon
Matt’s brain is woke now
Matt's back. Praise Khorne. I'm gay. You're gay
Welcome back, Matt! Praise Tzeench.
MATT!! My heart is happy.
So vivek is mad because, america voted for Trump instead of kamala because we celebrate stupid?
Moo deng should've gotten a visit to the White House tbh
I feel like Batman or Halo
this
I am John Halo.
@@kurks001the name’s Halo…John Halo
Vivek just wants to live in that world in the first season of Sliders where smart people are the celebs.
Return of the Matt 🎶 as a Matt parasocialist, I'm elated
Boy Meets World being mentioned is absolutely insane
Corey was a hapless Everyman, not a cool guy jock!
@@josephkolar3443 he's part of the culture of mediocrity
I died at operators imaging cortana giving them orders before they do terrorist attacks
Muthafuckin Crisp Mattman, 2025!!
Yea boi
I'm so gay for Matt.
I got electric pigeons in my brain and I got Matt in my heart. Life is good.
Less fun, more science. Ok Vivek, none of this culture stuff matters when your new job is training your replacement (who coincidentally looks like Vivek), and is willing to work for 65 cents on the dollar.
"...and is willing to work for 65 cents on the dollar."
I misread it as "65 cents an hour" but I guess that works too.
The Trump Admin encouraging anti-establishment types was always going to blow back. I think it is less boredom and more that they would prefer to be infamous than for their delusions to have been for nothing.
Holy shitballs! Is that Matt?!
Larry Wilmot, a former reporter on the Daily Show, wrote a book titled "I'd Rather We got Casinos", wherein there is a comedic essay discussing the "Sheffield Negro", a smaller, nerdy black character who isn't threatening. Jaleel White, unlike Gary Coleman or Emmanuel Lewis, grew up and thus became threatening.
Hyperurkelization
The funniest thing about vivek's ramblings about nerds vs jocks is that he seems to think trump is on the side of the nerds! That trump voters are the ones reading, not having sleepovers, that the republicans are the erkels😂😂😂 compared to the dem elites 😂😂😂cause all the woke journalists, writers, university profesores etc were clearly the party animals and not going to science "contests", while trump was locked on his room building robots, reading Proust and putting ice on the bruises he got from some entitled bully😂😂
Now that the real super nerd is in power, the time for the physically feeble brainiacs has finally arrived! Donald will save the geeks! Notoriously pro culture and pro expert trump will turn things around for the needs! That is, if he can import enough of them...
Exactly!
Not on the side of nerds? Trump is incredibly smart, he's told us multiple times.
@@doctorbarber1 that's true... he does have the best brain.
Plus, we all remember how he acted that iq test! Even the doctor was impressed, had never seen anything like it....
'Course, lesser men might be worried when the person administering the "iq" test is a medical doctor, maybe a neurologist, but not a pro like drumpf! He understands his level of iq must be of scientific interest, one way or the other😅
goddam when matt's back we are all soo back
Live, laugh, burger
Matt killed it in this episode
Vivek’s beef with Corey from Boy Meets World is 100% because he got with his TGIF waifu, Topanga and no other reason.
which is understandable tbh
MAAAAATTTT FUCK YES
The total Urquellization of the American mind
Guys are you not valuetained???
ERM, AKSHULLY: Contrary to what Kekus Maximus said, the steel frame of a Cybertruck makes it one of the *best* cars to use for doing something dumb, awful and pointless. Steel shrapnel is a hell of a lot more of a problem for people in the area than carbon fiber, aluminum and plastic, and the double-reinforced windows of Cybertrucks ("ingeniously" designed to not shatter and transmit all the force everywhere else,) would likely mean you'd have entire panes coming at you. Gotta hand it to the wannabe Hitler, he tailored his product to his core demographic.
Actually the frame is aluminum and the body panels are steel
@@MichaelSotoCEthe frame is so junk it's not even funny. Theres a video by a guy called whistlindeisel which shows it
this show is my normal pills
CUSHBOMB
I love how they think they aren't Urkels as well
Is there a known way to write fan mail to our comrades at Chapo? I don't need a response or any reciprocation. I just don't have any major social media and would like to tell them how much they mean to me personally.
Much love. So happy to see Matt recovering.
34:55 Opportunity to coin the phrase "the based replacement"
I think Felix might actually think the word is “schizo-frantics”
I like it 😅
Just ask Felix about Geocities.
Free luigi
The Army has had very interesting ad campaigns this year
Interesting how?
Matt❤️
Whoop there it is
MATT!
We're so back
Posthumous? Bill Nye and Magic Johnson aren't dead.
Posthumous as in Biden's brain died two years ago.
I love my fellow wisconsin refugee
I'm definitely surprised at the detailed memories of so many for 90s television. scary? Perhaps.
The tv was the predominant after school babysitter in the 90s. Simultaneously after it started being unsafe to let your kids just play outside unsupervised but before the internet capable devices were able to hold everyone’s attention 24/7
My friend in Colombia asked me once who raises the kids in the US if everyone is working all the time. We have our answer. Sadly.
In a world dominated by burgers...
Stopped listening to see the PBD painting myself, my goodness
23:42 I thought it would be Hegel, Schopenhauer, Freud, Adam Smith and Kant (The prime nerd).
But no, we're talking about a poser.
It's really a shame that Richard Benjamin never managed to get that screenplay of "Forsooth, The Corduroys Quaketh" shot after Jill Clayburgh pulled out in '78...
Kids today listen to too much grunge and not enough lectures
Less Kurt Cobain and more Hopsin
I don't agree with some of the values of Chapo. But man is it refreshing to hear matt talk again like I've heard before in the past with Bernie
During the times of the Roman Empires/Repulibcs, when the Romans took "the best and brightest" of the conquered/subjugated lands, those very same people often rose up to become leaders and/or powerful people in their own right, and then turned on those who took them in order to liberate their ancestral homes from occupation (or to die trying).
C'mon be real. Felix could not keep a solid snake in a crawl space. Not even if it's just an actor.
Holy sh!t!!a!aaaaa
Its Matt Christman
I feel so validated by Will's take on whiplash.
I like Whiplash and it's easy to recommend but it's also a very dumb movie
Man there is something wrong with the compressor on the mic or something. It sounds like someone is constantly wiggling the volume fader back and forth, to the point where the start or tail of some words is basically gone for my hearing. I am not an old man, though I pretend to be one in comments on occasion. Lots of love god bless love you boys bring em all home
I think they're doing push ups while recording. Gotta keep fit.
It sounds like they have a gate going that isn't working correctly. it constantly sounds like its ducking. really annoying to listen to.
I'm gay (for Matt)
Dry boys ride again 🎉
Americans need less Saved by the Bell and more Now You See Me 2
Less saved by the bell more Parasite
More Saved by the Bell:The College Years
Less Saved by the Bell:The New Class
Wait, Vivek pulled a Theranos?
WE luv burger.
Halo announcer voice: “SUICIDE!!”
BETRAYAL
Things will happen this year
They also might not though. Decades, weeks, lenin, etc.
Don't bet on it..
A lot of bluster in the air and none of it tracks with actual ruling class interest.
Is this the first episode with Matt back?
Ace Combat mentioned.
