896 - Merry Christman (12/25/24)

Fuck Jalen Brunson

Alex

I got the book today!! So thrilled. Only I can't read.

TentInQuarantine0

It's a joke, and a good one at that

Taylor Borie

how about you wait until februrary when theyve said the books are expected to be delivered before you start bitching when you hear matts voice you prick

the ayatollah of rocknrolla

As thrilled as I am to hear Matt is back, it's like, couldn't you just pretend to be an invalid until everyone got their copies of No Pasaran? We all bought it like 'in your memory' bro, what are you doing chilling on the pod?

TentInQuarantine0

Can’t wait to hear Felix go to town on the J-36.

Trazdat

The rule of Chapo is mine and no others!! - Alex probably

Daniel Schepper

Any news on Matt’s book? Maybe I missed an update

Hook miss

Matt was sorely missed, fantastic to have him on this episode. Merry belated Christmas to everybody. ❤️🎄🎊

Isaac Burns

So great to hear you, Matt!!!

Having Matt back was such a great Christmas gift. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

Mitch Sabens

I've been laid up with a trashed lumbar for the holidays, hearing Matt had me probably causing permanent injury by hooting too hard

Greasy_Jones

Thanks to all Chapos from our family to yours. You guys have helped us make sense of this wonkish world and renewed our hope ❤️

Latestagelarry

Love to hear it. The band back together. Thank you for handling things the Chapo way. Love and friendship between guys with motorcycles! Let's ride!

So good to hear from Matt again, what a great Christmas present for all of us!

Really happy to hear Matt back on the mic. Love to him Amber and their girl ❤️

Kane

Matt!

Nate Christy

So happy to hear Matt’s voice again. Merry Christmas father Matt.

Jeremy Whitman

Is Matt even Christian???? If not, I might have just the thing for his health issues 😏😏

Joseph Hooker

my crispy man back on the pod, you love to see it

admiral stiffplank

To Felix's point about the turbo normie fighter pilots - my uncle is an ex navy fighter pilot and a 50-year old swiftie that has on multiple occasions argued with me in support of the high quality of AI art and music

Sam

Matt, Matt, Matt!!!! We love him folks!

Matthew Dunn

Great to hear you back, Matt. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and while I really do believe Chapo has remained consistently great, I really came to miss your own flavor of commentary and analysis on whatever topic was at hand. I know things won't be the same, but guess what, that's life, baby. As far as I'm concerned, it's better to accept it and enjoy the ride.

Martin Lightgold

They were recording together and Chris walked in on Matt actively having a stroke

Mike

21 Bust Salute for my Dry Boys

Daniel Dermont

Matt is back, CHRISTMAN MIRACLE. Best news all year.

Callie Bonds

So uplifting to hear Matt again. Anyone know the story of Chris saving his life?

Titus Wright

WE LOVE IT DONT WE FOLKS?????!!!!!???!!!!

Joseph Mabrey

Genuinely one of the best episodes. Thanks, lads

morguewolf

MATT 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ what a joy to have him back. Also, as a long time listener and fan of Chapo just wanna say we love all you guys too. Thanks for keeping us laughing and entertained through the years. Happy New Year, Will, Felix, Matt and Chris and all the Chapo rotating gang!

Liz B

Welcome back Matt!

Robert Mehling

Matt made me pay for this show for the first time in my liife. Great marketing

Bi War Criminal

Yayyyyy Matt!!! I don’t even know how to read but you bet your sweet bippy i bought Matt’s book.

One Sound Every Day (santino)

Welcome back Matt!!!

Sierra Bangs

Great to hear Matt getting back to his old self

Bur Nur

There was no palace coup. There's no way high level donors or the rest of Congress didn't know Bidens state. The public was let in late with the predicably terrible debate performance to prevent a contested convention. Full stop.

Justin Thomas

Congress must smell like vitamins and pee

Justin Thomas

The return of Matt AND the Murder Bryan-esque flub of how Felix said "colomostomy bag"? What an absolute Christmas gift!

Alex

Cannot express how wonderful it was to hear Matt’s laugh and contribution on the show again. Best Christmas gift in possibly a decade. Kudos to Will, Felix, Chris, and all your guests for continuing to produce worthwhile and entertaining content.

Adam Hauck

Everybody’s lonely in this modern world but being a “Hot Socialist in your area” is especially lonely. In the workplace, among friends at social functions or at the public house you always think you are gonna meet people who are ready for a nice cold fresh glass of critique (carefully and calmly delivered I’m not a yeller) but invariably it’s just another “citizen” gurning in your face whilst gulping down the doo doo water. So you change the subject and chat about whatever’s been on the shit tube or which sports team is fighting its way to the top of the poo poo pile BUT; When the unending onslaught of feculent imperial grins becomes to much to bear I come here to, at least in a para social fashion, be among comrades and feel seen for at least one god damn hour of the day, and seriously; I don’t know where the FLIP I would be without it. From the bottom of my room temperature heart thank you guys so much for all that you do. It’s been a wild ride and it’s surely only gonna get nuttier. Produce at a pace that allows you to maintain your integrity, if there’s a seeming content gap looming I for one know I would be thrilled to just watch a stream of Felix playing flight simulators for an hour in service of a top notch episode later in the week. I would also settle for pictures of Chris’ feet. All joking aside, Love you guys bunches, wishing you a peaceful and pleasant New Year and see you all in 2025 for American Genesis: Evangelion featuring Donald Ikari. ❤️

Michael Balls Penis

Matt was a beautiful Christmas present ❤️

Joseph Shields

Happy to see you back Matt. Your presence is a gift

Patrick Moore

Welcome back Matt. You were deeply missed.

Ascetic Blur

Matt actually landing in a bit is a true Rudy style moment. But like Rudy hitting a walkoff half courter to win the NBA finals. Type shit

bruce moment

I really think that a lot of it boils down to shits n giggles all within a context of complete control. The entire training process is meant to breakdown the flinch reaction and build it into deliberate responses, part of that is ingraining the ability to react to ANYTHING. Maybe, in their weird heads, the shock value pushes the idea that we have no idea what we're gonna see and that we need to keep our heads when we see it; logically, we know that no one would actually eat shit, but to see the man in charge of your exercise, sleep, and meals deliberately eat shit to spite you and your efforts is a slap to the brain. He did it to us after like 3 days of hard training, so our sleep was inconsistent, making it more believable and impactful at the moment. All in all I do not recommend the infantry.

Antonio Kaisen

Yes, that is the obvious explanation. But surely there must be more to this institution than just raw coercion, right? This isn't the British Navy pressing whoever they can onboard and then beating them into submission.

THEKILLERWHALE

Thanks for the thank yous and the smiles upon smiles over the long tedious years guys. Twice a week every week for eight(?) years now is insane. Love the series so much and it’s incredible to hear Matt’s commentary again.

Philip Wailes

as zizek said to christman: "that is wonderful. i love you" (verbatim. 2019 zizek episode. matt talks about US bonapartism. zizek declares his love.)

Dom Camella

What a wonderful episode. Absolutely lovely to hear Matt again. Happy New Year Chapo crew, can't believe it's been so many years already

Thomas Sorensen

I just saw Matt for about 5 seconds on the baby boomer episode of My Generation on MSNBC. Did he get any more spots?

Michael Polacheck

What an absolute joy and pleasure to finally hear Matt's voice again!! 🙌 we love you brother

Wyatt Parks

Great to have you back, Matt.

I dunno about all THAT!

TatsuMaki

thank you all for another year of amusement and laughs amid truly bleak world events and a tumultuous time in your personal lives. as long as you guys are picking up the mic and hitting record, i’ll be a patron. we all come for the irony and jokes, but it’s the sincerity of your love and friendship that gives power to your voices. without those we are fighting for, all that’s left is nihilistic rage. thank you all for continuing to shine your light amid the dark and gloom

Greg Stelmach

'The White Emperor' is such a cool name

I wonder what Felix thinks about the rumoured 6th gen fighter jet test models from China that were spotted flying on 12/26

Johnny Tubesocks

Yeah it's literally, Chris found him when they were about to record

Clint

Loved hearing Matt for a full ep again what a blessing

LOAF

i signed back up for the patreon for Felix's new miniseries and got extremely excited to see Matt return. Yall have been killing it in his absence! i was gonna keep listening whether he ever had the ability to return, but seeing him come back genuinely gave me hope in a way i can't quite articulate. Thank you chapo

Ruby Dreadful

Loved hearing Matt ❤️ Merry Christmans

SadSnack🥔

If I had to geuss it happened while they were recording no pasaran

parker long

What’s this about Chris saving Matt’s life? Is this figurative or did Chris literally find Matt on the floor and prevent him from dying?

nick

Ah ...Matt! So happy you're back! You guys got the band back together! A lot of love at the end of this episode. I love to hear it! Love you guys and look forward to what slop y'all produce next year! Stay slime! Yuzna style!

James Browning

Welcome back Matt!!! Genuinely teared up hearing him back with the boys

Alex

MATT FUCKING CHRISTMAN!!!!!!!!! RAHHHHHHH

David Statman

It's insane how much better Matt sounds. Glad he feels ready to come back to the podcast, honestly I think you guys did great without him but it's good to have him back. Really happy for his family that he seems to be recovering so well.

Gordon Schmidt

GODSPEED MATT! WE FUCKING LOVE YOU MANNNNN

Erik Bourre

Hearing Chris was truly the best Christmas present. I literally screamed with happiness. Happy New year everyone!

triplehashbrown

Miss me with this asshole edgelord horseshit. If you couldn't hear the lightness in their voices and the PURE celebratory vibe that ran through the whole ep, if this was exactly the kind of engagement you wanted then congrats dude. You, sir, are part of the problem. Kinda fucked to say indeed. Dick. I found all of it EXTREMELY heartwarming and it made me grin ear to ear. Not to mention "The sniffing disease" was the funniest one liner in the whole hour.

Matthew Krueger

Biden’s seasonal depression is reminiscent of Funkhauser claiming orphan status at 70

Owen

He has come back to us now at the turning of the tide

Jack Ross

Can Felix have a regular fighter jet segment? Lots of love and thanks to you all. You kept the spirit alive and gave Matt something to come back to. So happy to still have you guys in my ear. Ps. Love the episodes where Chris contributes more than usual. He’s so funny and insightful.

Emily Richardson

WE LOVE OUR MATT FOLKS DON’T WE! WE LOVE HIM!

Biden should do some John Adams Midnight Appointments-style bullshit and pardon the J6ers. They're going to be pardoned anyway. What's he got to loose?

Found him after the stroke, called the ambulance. They asked him about it when he was promoting the book on American Prestige

Michael

same!!

A person you vaguely know

Welcome back Matt! Continue to heal! We miss you! So glad to hear your voice and laugh!

A person you vaguely know

So great to hear Matt a true classic ep, welcome back!

Armonica Stubb

The thing about the house being sold for only 10 dollars is probably untrue its standard practice to list a nominal price of ten dollars on deeds and so forth that doesnt reflect the actual money spent my family had to do the same thing with their house

Magnus Nope

❤️

Randy

Or maybe he called the ambulance?

EaZy E

Idk, pure speculation, but my guess was coming up with the book idea to raise money for his medical bills?

Maicol

Best episode of the year, welcome back Matt!

Matthew burns

Welcome back Matt!

Sorkle

Matt!!!! Yes

Some Tourist

You pose like this was something Matt didn't want to do, like we're forcing him into coming on an episode, but you are really just complaining that his post-stroke performance wasn't up to your standards and are hiding it behind some concern for his family and health. Please fuck right off with this.

Will Menaker

how did chris save matt?

alex

Teared up a little bit when I heard Matt’s voice. So happy he’s doing better

Chris

thanks fellas

readyforthehouse

❤️

Bobby J

Not only does our big, sweet, Midwestern boy have the standpoint to talk about old and senile American politicians, he also has the standpoint to deliver the most whithering jokes about himself => "Ya know, it's tough to figure out, about the, wording or whatever but thanks to Biden for the inspiration." Hilarious... And I'm glad to hear from you (and your little one).

Andrew S

Because if the guy drilling you is crazy enough to eat shit out of a toilet, then what do you think they'll do to you for bad training?

Will Menaker

Matttttttssss backkk!!! Welcome back king.

Zachary Wilson

She's a podigy!

THEKILLERWHALE

I do not get this as my impression was that the point of boot camp as to smash the grunts into the lowest rungs of a strict hierarchy. Doesn't your first direct authority figure eating shit in front of you undermine the very hierarchy they are looking to establish? What am I missing?

THEKILLERWHALE

Yessssssssssssssss

A person you vaguely know

Matt!!!!!!

Zach Burchfield

Im not crying you are! :’-)

Evelyn

Matt my broken brain brother, you are an inspiration. May your hole and mine remain forever plugged. My invitation to the New Bedford Moby Dick Marathon stands for whenever you’re able to make it back east 🐳

Shane W

Had a stroke myself last year and can say from experience that one of the most healing things you can do for your scrambled brain, once you’re ready, is get back to your favorite activities again. Matt sounded great in this ep and I hope the more he does the better he feels!

Shane W

I'm spending Christmas with my family not to far from where Matt's from. I brought my 3 y/o daughter and wife out with my dad and step mom to a frozen lake where we used to sled and ice skate. And we all ran around and threw snowballs at each other. Settling down by myself with a beer and a classic chapo feels very cozy. I wish Matt's family all the best. I'm thankful for his work, especially on the long drive out here

PrinceVocalFry

What a treat for us hogs! Such a joy to hear from Matt. Happy holidays to everyone!

Did you ever consider that maybe his health should come first instead of having him sit around for an hour not saying anything? Hell, his own baby prompted more attention from him than any of the topics in the podcast, and good on him; his priorities are his family.

KyleMSherry

Is that what Zizek has?

Isaac

It’s like a racecar bed that gets you EVEN MORE poon.

Isaac

The “Who? Her?” bit was great. There’s a new layer of comedic tension when you don’t immediately get the joke, and for a split second you’re like “Oh shit Matt isn’t making any sense, it must be the poo-brains” but then you actually get the joke and it makes it even funnier.

Isaac

Missed you Matt ❤️❤️❤️

Barry Nixon

At the beginning of all this the guys and Amber responded to everyone asking how they could help and said “just please for the love of God give us space and be normal”. I was filled with dread because I didn’t think we were capable of that….but I’m actually really proud of everyone. At least as far as I’ve seen, everyone was normal, and anytime someone came close to crossing the line they got dogpiled and shat on. Good job everybody.

This was a great ep. Filled with aural delights, bathing in the warm glow of my parasocial fren and my Chapo fam.

Scott Gunsaullus

Welcome back Matt! As far as the "friendly fire" incident is concerned, my wild speculation is that the Yemenis (Ansar Allah) probably fired a salvo of missiles towards the carrier group after they were bombed and that the F-18 was one of the objects heading in the same direction. The air defense systems shot down the missile salvo and the F-18. e.g. "friendly fire" is superficially true, but this never would have happened without a major assist from Ansar Allah and the stupid policy of sending a carrier group to the Red Sea to defend a genocide in Palestine.

i love you Matt. ive been listening to old episodes of Chapo and the Grill Stream podcast feed. the podcast has not been the same without you. Will and Felix, you are fantastic too of course, and I’ve especially been loving the episodes with Alex. but the dry boys chemistry is just so amazing and ive been laughing so hard at the old material. and i’m just over the moon hearing Matt back on the regular show. Matt, you are honestly so incredibly inspiring to me. when i hear you “going off live” it makes me vibe at like 10,000GHz and i cant wait to be one with you and everyone else after we defeat the demiurge <3 im boxing-day-drunk btw if thats not obvious. i wouldnt be caught dead saying shit like this otherwise. Merry Christmas to Matt, Felix, Will, Chris, Amber, Alex Nichols, Derek Davison, all the others guests and my felllow fans 🤗

All I wanted for Christmas was the return of Matt. Return of Cushvlog coming soon? Also, I thought the baby was a sound drop for half the episode because that kid had perfect timing, dropping e.g. when discussing Biden's pouting. Cushvlog co-host coming in several years?

I missed Matt so much. Especially through this awful year of genocide. So happy he's better and back

Jacob

Allowing felix free reign on fighter plane stuff is all I wanted for Christmas

Kvvvy

Matthew

Matt 🙏❤️‍🔥😭

Ben

He’s back and he sounds great. I’m sure it’s been a long, hard road (pause), so I hope it felt as fun to record this as it was to listen.

Andrew

Matt! What a wonderful Christmas treat! 🥹

Alex Kozak

MAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT

Anders Olsson

Because they are eating dogs, they are eating the cats that are in there.

Thank you Santa, so glad to hear your voice again.

TC

My heart grew three sizes with this episode.

Tim Browne

MATT!

Troy D Kemp

Felix with the Out For Justice reference, incredible

Wagner Koop

The best way to spread Christman cheer is yelling loud for all to hear! ✊️

and a happy new year!

Baby Christman's first podcast 👶

Ian Priest

Every time Matt's on the mic it's a gift, and it's always been.

Casey Edmondson

For me this year - fuckin, two now. BIG UPS to everyone making some Christmas smiles for some little ones, including those Chapo boys Also, for real congrats existing and raising kiddos, hope everyone's doing well (I'm full of Christmas chbooze)

Justen Harper

Welcome back from your paid family leave, Matt! I hope you had a great time bonding with your new daughter, but it’s back to work with you. You’ve got a backlog of rants that I expect to hear by the inauguration

Isaac Andersen

They should Encino Man Matt and just run stuff by him that’s happened the past 18 months.

Hick Rhodes

So glad Matt is here! Legit the best Christmas present I could ask for 🙂

John Montana

Legitimately so heartwarming to hear Matt back on the mic!

We love Matt and we love the extended Chapo family and parasocial family!

Dongo

Marcos Rubios

We are finally blessed with the presence of Crisp Mattman once again! I think the boys did a great job running the pod without him but he was always missed. The gang's back baby!

Wealthy Benefactor

LETS FUCKING GO OUR BEAUTIFUL BOY IS BACK

Elai Kehler

It is just so fucking great to have Matt back.

Frances Mary

SOLOMON BURKE EVERYONE

Dom Camella

It is a genuine loss for the world that Felix was not born a log cabin Republican. He would have been so good at it

Grease Witherspoon

Beautiful show. Love you all. Matt truly is the GOAT.

Antipaganda

Matt, it's great to hear your perspective back again.

Antipaganda

he's not diminished. he's just like...forgotten the password to his mouth for a little while. don't bring that ignorant negativity to a christmas miracle like this. go read Donna Brazile's book and return to us humbled and transformed

Dom Camella

Having Matt back was great, but that Virgil reveal toward the end was fucking epic.

Joe Quigley

Indeed, it’s good to hear from ol’ Matt.

VV0Sans

Great to have you back Matt! All the best in your recovery.

Sean Earl Beard

Oh Holy fuuuuuck

It's January 6th 2025, a Toyota Prius C pulls up to the Capitol building, the Liberal Driller has come to save Democracy.

Robert

Matt’s still got it! Bless the boy

Ozzie

It’s so nice to hear Christman’s voice again! What a comfort!

Iwilldoitagain

Matt! We love you dude.

J.W.

Had Christmas dinner with my parents and their weirdest freak from university, whom I had never met. (Me and the retired government scientist who hadbt left northern Quebec in 40 years bonded over Matt Christman and Colin Dickey)

Grease Witherspoon

Welcome back!!!!

shout out to wellbutrin folks

Dom Camella

"Our gerontocracy, they hang around because they're the only people with institutional knowledge anymore. Everybody else grew up in little pods - little goo balls [...] This system is doing things against the will of those in charge of it." - Matt Christman, August 13th, 2021, CushVlog: Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Wellbutrin

"cola-mastabee bag" - felix

Dom Camella

CHRISTMAN HAS RETURNED MORE POWERFUL THAN BEFORE

The Playing Field

Glad matt is back, and glad he is on the mend . I've listened since the beginning and I'm amazed it took this long for a chapo episode to have a kid making noise in the background. Comforting sounds for me and the other 12 listeners who have kids

pepto_azymuth

MATT’S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS

Siddhartha

Trevor

Shane-A112

He's back... Will he continue to improve?

TugNuggins

feeling extremely Blessed

cori

Matt!!

John Pupa

The friendly fire thing is just one of those things where you have to wonder if it was intentional and being covered up, or just intense stupidity. Like...how? 2 fighters? Were they simply shot down by Houthis? How do you accidentally shoot down 2 planes? There are 0 other enemy aircraft. Did they think they were going to get USS Libertied? It just seems very implausible this happened on accident.

K H

Aw yeah baby let’s go

Patrick King

This was so beautiful and heart-healing and also, now just imagining every policy decision in the Biden WH going down like the Remo Gaggi "look, why take a chance" scene in Casino.

Paul Adam

He should shoot a ceo selected by the patreons.

K H

MATT!!!

jawn carpenter

So glad to hear Matt again.

Hilary is Pant-suited Syphilis

omg he's back 😭 I'm actually tearing up

Anomalie

Somehow... Cushbomb has returned.

DT

"Crazy Joe's Folly" contains my #1 Dan Quinn moment, when he tells the story about threatening to fight a guy in jail, and then he interrupts himself with " – I said it slicker than that –"

Michael S. Judge

Matt back on the show is unquestionably the highlight of my xmas

Jason

I would pay good money for a documentary or series of pods about Matt’s recovery, what it says about language and the brain in general but also navigating healthcare family. Etc. Sell it. Could help with bills. Probs too invasive but still. shoot that shit on an iPhone. No need to gussy it up. Merry Christmas boys and girls. I’m glad everyone is alive.

Hardcore Virgin

I shot up out of bed. Fuck I suck.

The Squash

Now that Matt is back we can get a coveted directionless Matt-Felix ep

Travis

Bro, seriously. Lump in my throat right now.

Joe Quigley

So nice to hear Matt on the pod again! Glad to see he’s up and about. Peace to all the Chapo’s

Blown Magnet

BEST XMAS PRESENT EVER!! I screamed in my car.

Smizmar

What a heartwarming hour! So happy! ❤️

Laurie G

A Christmas miracle! Santa is back on his sled! It will just be in the blink of an eye and he will be grilling in the backyard, reading out the exact passage of a John birch society pamflet where trump got the annexation of Canada Greenland and the Panama Canal from.

christoph.s

Oh man what a Christmas treat, just pure joy hearing Matt! Wow.

Shit, what I shoulda done was make my family listen to this in front of crackling fire!

Schwartz666

I am sorry my brothers if this is cringe: I am crying. God bless you Christman. We missed you.

Ben Clarkson

The great joy of having matt back for this ep really makes me think we're all going to be alright. I'm gonna say it, should I say it folks? No we shouldn't say it they don't like it if we say it.

Johnny Tubesocks

I have been calling for lib January 6th since Trump won. If they throw a better one, I will vote Democrat in 2028.

Richard Cochnar

Matts voice was SO missed. So happy he's making appearances again

Tommy Shober

So much slop this week. We're gluttonous little piggies!

Aaron Goad

Thank you for this

Nick Perri

Welcome back Matt

Etienne

Actual tears in my eyes

Conner Abram

Felix's description of his dream job flying around in an unarmed F5 is just the exact plot of Ace Combat 7. Also speaking from experience aircraft maintainers are absolutely cumboys, not because they're leftists but because they are absolute lunatics. If we ever wanted to do a Gaddafi style young officers coup and cripple the air force aristocracy early just get Nick and Adam to convince the maintainers it would be funny as fuck if they all sabotaged each planes engines.

Agent Grange

Literal goosebumps and tears in eyes
