876 - Escape from MAGAtraz feat. Alex Nichols (10/14/24)
We start today with Alex and Felix explaining a notoriously filthy video game streamer and his repellent political views/personal hygiene to Will. Then, we check in on the Harris campaign as it continues to search for meaning, substance, moral clarity, strategic vision, & more while election day looms. Meanwhile, in MAGA-land, a look at the J6 defendants behind bars: putting on plays, podcasting, recording billboard #1 hits, punching holes in the prison drywall…is life in the big house better than what they left?
Vic Berger’s “THE PHANTOM OF MAR-A-LAGO”, a found footage mini-doc about Trump’s life out of office in his southern White House, premieres Tuesday, Oct. 15th (Today!) exclusively at patreon.com/chapotraphouse.

Asmongold playing the Stanley Parable was an enjoyable video
I know this sounds harsh, but Alex is on too much. Not vibing with his style of humour.
ur trippin, Alex has great chemistry with them
So it might be different because I've never gone to jail in DC but when I was in Clatsop county the tablets aren't connected to the open internet. They have predownloaded movies and books that you could only watch by taking "classes" pretty much reading essays on empathy, drug addiction etc. then doing a quiz. Messages were like 50 cents a piece. They did have radios tho. I liked to call them binkys because noone would wanna start shit and get there's taken away. Essentially pacifying us. Pierce county didn't have tablets tho:(
It’s sick dr sans is in the pic for this episode
joker 2 where is joker 2
turn off your screen
Doctors With Borders was an all-time riff
Podcasting. Podcasting never changes
Forcing J6 inmates to watch MSNBC would be like a padded room no sleep experiment type of situation based on that description of the prison. I need to create a Freedom Commissary Fund for Patriots and pocket it all. Listening to the terrorism expert guy saying that the prison is creating a networked cell of radicalized guys in the DC Metro Prison, my immediate thought is does the CIA have a guy or two in there?
20 years for January 6th is absolutely batshit insane to be honest. Patently ridiculous
Good luck to the next black lives matter style protestors if republicans ever take control again. This defently won’t come back to bite the left in the ass lol
Imagine telling the you of Feb 2020 that amy klobuchar quote
I'm gonna have to stop listening to regular episodes till after the election. Listening to Will talk politics is actually giving me anxiety. Like he's telling me that someone is coming up behind me with a claw hammer and there's nothing I can do about it.
“Vote for Kamala, she’ll kill Palestinians quick instead of slow” isn’t the take
Wait the J6ers literally have their own Em City?? I wouldve totally thought they would be inducted into neo-nazi gangs Shot Caller style
So in Harris‘s statement to Muslims and why they should vote for her, she openly acknowledges that what’s going on in Gaza is a genocide?
Is that something we're still giving credit for? Like acknowledging the Earth being round at this point.
I looked up that self help book. It's 180 pages of basic cbt pablum that would have this man choking a cashier in 8 months.
I'm pretty sure those burpees were a group effort.
Ahhhh, that does make more sense.
*nodding sagely* The racist Twitch streamer, Chapo Trap House, to me these are the same things. I am very wise.
remember when amber yelled at matt because he had a bbq sauce stain on his sock?
The thing I remember about Asmongold before all this was him wiping the blood from his rotting gums on his wall by his bed. A real life ghoul.
https://x.com/Asmongold/status/951368316949581826 🤢🤢🤢
Never in my life have i wanted to go to jail more
It’s okay to not be a cultural relativist. I’m not gonna excuse the holocaust because it’s just a practice of nazi culture and we can’t judge other cultures.
Assmongold says it's OK to kill Arabs... because they kill people based on their identity... Pretty ironic eh
The “Brat fall” quote caused mass aneurisms
Felix, do you watch Tabs_Original DCS videos on YouTube?
Thank you for clumping in AOC with the rest of the liberal class. What a waste of energy in 2018
what did he say that they said tf
my grandmother dropped all our jaws by saying something very salacious about Harvey Keitel in The Piano one xmas
Alex is so funny. Love that guy. “And when they get mad about it say FUCK YOU. What are you gonna support Trump?” lol
Why you guys misrepresenting Asmongold? Aren't you the exact same type of fail-male dirtbags? None of you can hold a job so you make content, why you gotta hate on your brother? I'm still waiting on Felix to finish Metal Gear Solid.
jesus mate
Alex you dropped this king 👑
ashli babbit is/was from san diego and she operated a racist pool cleaning business
I need to comment cause I’m at the part where Alberto Gonzalez’ endorsement has come out and it’s being asked who remembers him and I’m here to say no one but a few like me with a diseased brain who paid too much attention during the bush years. I was like 12 when he resigned but my mom who watched the news all the time back (hence why I know) then asked me today who he was and I had to explain to her
Alex Nichols made such a good point about the Democrats scolding people for not supporting them and how it’s the equivalent of a bad business scolding people for not buying from them. “Sweep the floors” indeed.
As a Russian not living in Israel, its so fucking over.
Alex carried this episode
Muslim in Georgia. Everyone I know is voting Jill Stein for what that's worth.
Heroes
make alex a sitting member of the pod!!
lmao oh dang I didn't have Felix figured for an F/A-18 Hornet main in DCS wonder what HOTAS he'd be sneaking into the clink
it’s pretty forgiving for beginners from what I understand. good low speed manoeuvrability
Alex bringing the heat on this one.
The boys learning about Asmongold is hilarious
I thought Irish peacekeepers don’t have guns in Lebanon?
Asmongold is a Universal movie monster in the same way that Norma from Sunset Boulevard is. He's a gothic villain.
Ready for my stream, Mr DeMille
Alex in good form this ep. Super funny.
I can't wait for Chapo to take down It's a Gundam next. 😉
that racist guy from the start of the ep got fired from his webinar or whatever thing he does
Turns out his boss or co-owner or whatever is a Syrian Muslim too. I’m thinking he’s ramping up the grift and pulled a “I’ll make you fire me” move.
The trans Jan 6ther is in the same prison as Ghislane Maxwell
The iPad archipelago
I’m still waiting to hear whether Kamala will support expanding “Floss Latino”
So if you don't mind ima speak to tha brothers
The love of a pimp is a special kind of love
I just did another listen and noticed the music playing behind the Asmon “inferior” clip was the skyrim tavern music. You could literally find a stormcloak in Windhelm talking about elves the same way
Kamalas is implementing policies for black men. And by black men she means guys who have a podcast with four only fans models.
I need to hear this prison podcast
Trump is gonna have the J6 troupe doing their jive on the south lawn
I mean, we do mimic the fall of Rome in many ways. LFGOOOO
So like is the j6 “patriot” prison culture going to form the base of a new social movement or something
Right it sounded so creative and full of vitality compared to mainstream media culture
Maybe it’s mentorship’s for Blackmail and they’re gonna have a Prager U for Epstein stuff
Asmongold reminds me of the moss man from Creepshow but instead of an alien rock it was WoW
When I was in county they had tablets, sounds great until you realize their motivation for putting them in is to get rid of the law library and to put it all in digital form, and then to also have music and chat that inmates can pay for, 10 cents a song or 10 cents a message, and that there's only 4 tablets per block and you have to compete with some asshole messaging their girlfriend in order to try to look up something in the "law library". They take in so much money from those things
That's horrible, it should be a bigger deal
“MAGATTICA! MAGATTICA! It’s a Dog Brain Afternoon!”
1:03:50 Wait, it took them ten seconds to realize that the song they played wasn't the national anthem? They didn't check beforehand? Jaysus maybe we should keep them in jail for their own good, these people are one confused moment away from choking on their own shoelaces somehow.
Kudos to them for even having the USSR national anthem on tap I guess??
Guessing before I listen that it's Asmondgold
Give me that skinny nerd cock!
Could you imagine just how funny that assassination-inspired prison riot would have been? A couple dozen wheezing jet ski dealers holding a prison riot. That would have been funnier than SNL, even the version of SNL they already do in there
I think the guys who all want to be kids again are raging against the knowledge that they’ll never have kids. When you have a kid you actually DO fucking get to do all the fun kid stuff again.
Legitimately this sounds like a skill issue. My brother-in-laws get super hyped to go to laser tag and play video games with my nephews.
WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE DEFENSIVELY ATTACKING THE GREENS: The UK. That is the answer. The UK Labour party are advising the Democrats now. Here's why that matters: I'm a British left-winger . I'm not a member of the green party. I just voted for them for the first time.. We just, as a collective, broke Green party voting records during our last election. This led to a major party heavy hitter LOSING THEIR seat. This guy is a made man and he is now unemployed and has been replaced by a Green candidate. It's the equivelant of Pete Buttigieg losing his seat to a one-election candidate. It "shouldn't have happened" but it did because the left made it happen. This was not supposed to happen, and it was an actual, tangible, widespread victory because the Greens only gained. This has had a major effect on the attitudes of the duopoly party heads. This MP losing their job (Jonathan Ashworth) has put a target on the backs of the jobs of the rest of the party staff. Now they are all individually scared of losing their jobs because of the actions of the leadership. So they're now fighting on behalf of the greens in their own party without realising. This is why every single American left-winger has to, well, just to vote green now. Not because they're going to win the election, but because someone inside the democratic party will lose. That affects their collective job security, and that's all they care about. The reason why this has to be done is because if you don't, the right-wing will do it before you. This also happened in the UK. We should have made a party when Corbyn was forced out, but we didn't. The right established their own party, and they're set to win the next election we have. This is ok for the Greens because this gives the party a bargaining chip, and this will help bring our version of the centre-right Democrats to heel. All it took was for the left to vote green in the election. And no, I am not a green party member; no, I don't value the green leadership much, and yes, we got the same line of blackmail you guys are getting now: "Trans people are being targeted; the worse party will win.". We ignored these threats because we knew they were lies. The worst party didn't win, and trans people are fine, they aren't even being talked about in the news anymore because that was a campaign tactic. And yes, trans people bravely ignored the threats too. The LGBTQ+ basically led the charge. And it doesn't matter that our countries are different, it's all about getting vote numbers up. That's universal. And if you don't think it matters, look at the title of this post again to get a reminder of the context. If TLDR then don't but if you are reading it then thanks. :)
I thought it was funny when the UK press started having "concerns about anti-Semitism in the green party" the moment they broke through in a few seats.
He reminds me of a character in Texas Chainsaw massacre 2 , to tie this into MM
Don’t see guys in prison playing harmonica much anymore
Theyre contraband now
As much fun as it is to listen to 3 guys who I pay to make podcasts talk about professions and merit, can y’all shut the fuck and cover the news?
They aren’t journalists, you melt. Besides I think we all need the laugh, Alex is a great guest and makes every episode funny and at least a moment to relax
kudos to Chris for dropping the "Trump gets ready to dance like Leland Palmer" clip. obvs this will get the riffs on the Patreon later this week but I didn't even see it hit social media until after this episode posted. you're dang good at your job Mr. Wade!
it goes without saying - contrary to the tireless alarmists on social media - that our big Orange boy sounded genuinely happy, because of course almost nothing makes him happy EXCEPT Village People bops and show tunes.
“I remember Super Mario Bros, where’s my money?” is perfect
Lies of P best Bloodborne clone out there folks. Just the facts
You would think the January 6th people would hate Trump for calling off their revolution after a few hours, refusing to offer blanket pardons from his Mara Lago hidey hole and calling them Antifa operatives. Rubes love that guy no matter what.
Feels good to laugh again.
Mr. Nichols is always fantastic, but he was on fire this episode. Great stuff. My chuckle meter was topped off for the day. Thanks to Mr. Chapo.
Gaza has been bombed so hard that asmongold is probably like "oooooh would love to steal a slag pile and live there"
Alex is so fucking funny
Why have Alex when Chris is right there?
why not both
"Whys there all this woke sjit in games now? Back in my day you made an alien that looked like a penis to troll your audience, not to make homos feel safe!!" "If they did metal gear solid 2 today the president would grab raidens dick unironically!"
they already tried to make a non woke game it was called Duke Nukem Forever
love that kath and alex are becoming regulars
When are they just gonna make Alex join the podcast already so they don't have to keep putting "ft. Alex Nichols" on every other episode
Asmongold recently drank water for the first time and actually tasted the germs in his mouth
Asmond is a stain
Alex: “Lesbian Cheney.” LOL That’s about all I could come up with too!
Please tell Alex that tablets are cooler than phones. He will understand that once he ascends to the beyond cool age of 40-45. You will put down the tiny screen and pick up your kid's purple drop case laden bigger screen.
And fuck you Will for talking shit about the IRA
WTF man!
If it makes you feel any better, Asmongold is on track to die before he turns 40, so he's not gonna be anyone's problems pretty soon.
Please invite Dr Jill on the show, although she already has my vote.
"Justice for All" was #1 on the Digital Song Sales Chart, not the Billboard Hot 100 Chart (where it didn't even crack #100)
Birthday slop!
a Federal Community Theatre Program would solve lots of problems
🤧
What is more of a controled environment? A mental hospital with anxious depressed college kids or a prison full of Jan 6 protesters. I am thinking the 22 art major who cuts herself is more policed than these guys punching holes into walls
I am not even saying that they should be beaten. I am saying, you walk into your local ER and ask to be admitted to a mental hospital. You will see more forced being used on people who have committed no crime and they are over policed. If you were in a mental hospital, would you think they would be more aggressive to someone punching a hole in the wall?
These prisoners sound like a bunch of bitches - crying because Trump almost got got? Fucking grow a pair
Please kill me, but before you do, I must say I hope Harris wins: it would show Harris as the extension of the already unpopular Biden presidency. Limp and defuddled. It would probably stop Trump from running for office again, which would rob the Democrats of their foil. A nice implosion of both parties seeking a new dopamine rush for their homeowning center mass.
it would be the best short-, medium-, and long-term outcome by a long shot
I’m not certain but i think the ethnicity was already captured in the census and the ACS under the detailed race/ethnicity/ancestry questions. I mean, for people from Latin America they catalog if you’re from Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, etc
It actually has never been detailed for the Middle East. The best option they had was “Other Asian.” I had to apply for college as “white” given the census instructions, while all the white kids were calling me a terrorist lmao
I think I heard asmons mom burned herself with a lite cigarette and that sent her to the hospital to eventually pass away a couple days later
1 million loan march
I watched the Asmongold video right before listening to this and I got confused and thought the video started playing again
Asmongold instinctively knows that his life would not please Allah if he was made to account for it, thus he spurns the light of Islam.
Felix squeezes in a plug for flight sims
Asmongold looks like Russell Brand, and Caitlyn Clark had a man-baby.
The dems are def throwing the election. I don't understand why they aren't courting the Varg Vikernes endorsement? They're basically HANDING those votes to Trump!!!!
Lmao I was wondering if they’d ever cover the balding, grasping, parasitic bio-hazard that is Asmongold.
Did isreal release the grayzone reporter yet?
Yeah, a few days ago, thank god.
I absolutely loathe the “demonstrates empathy” line about Kamala and Palestine (or anything else). This was NPR’s favorite line about Biden regarding healthcare/poverty/etc, which is just a way of saying “there’s no policy but they make some rhetorical gestures about these things.” It’s so transparently empty
And some morons on the left will take that and wishcast her as an adversary to isreal.
I did a stint "taking care of Grandma". Mostly involved me paying 20$ a week in rent that I would inevitably steal back and put towards buying heroin.... nobody banged any pots and pans for me!
Been a while since we've had Amber on an ep; where's Amber?
Was thinking the same recently
As a 45 year old man living at my mum's house I'm unable to stop laughing at this ep after feeling personally attacked and thinking desperately "At least I clean up after myself! I'm not owned! I'm not owned!"
I have sat beside my mother on her sofa and listened to this show on headphones. Feels good, man.
Felix begins speaking at 2:49
Alberto Gonzalez? Dunno why but immediately thought he was Adolfo Constanzo. We should get to know who each serial killer supports.
Trump as a showman is now firmly in his late-era Lenny Bruce stage where he just goes on stage and complains about his trial and other such grievances.
Jill Stein is supported by war criminals that killed millions of people through acts of aggression - Dick Cheney This solidified my spite vote. JILL PILL!
Russia thanks you
I'm starting to think that Democratic campaign strategists believe that the American voter chooses their candidates the same way the Minions choose whoever's the most evil to be their boss. And no matter who wins this election, the next election the Dems are going to court the endorsement of the Trump kids.
Put some respect on the minions, they’ve made it this far
alex pog
I just hit a mango king palm filled with that icky sticky. Im listening to this from the heavens. Best time for politics now time
I think china has the opium. I remember that from history class
Getting motion sickness with this swerving back and forth from the GOP are gonna win now the Dems are gonna win oh now it’s definitely the GOP again oh but look at this the Dems will win actually no it’s the GOP again. This is why I stopped caring about politics and got back into GOONING.
When both sides are equally trash we win either way. Get to either watch the lib meltdown or the chud meltdown
Holy shit just googled asmondgolds room
Felix lives like Patrick Bateman but with video games instead of porn
Asmongold looks like Adam Lanza
Pretty sure this guy doesn't use the dead rat as an alarm clock anymore because eventually corpses turn into skeletons and don't smell as much so he was waking up late for streaming. This man is europe's revenge, he gives the plague to rats.
Asmongold looks like he has chronic and degenerative scurvy.
The absolute comfort he feels with cockroaches is fucking disgusting, we should shoot him out of a cannon, or increasingly cartoonish situations
I’m cooming
Cheers
