Introducing SEEKING A FREN FOR THE END OF THE WORLD // Matt Book Update
The series will contain 6 scripted episodes, and a 7th more conversational bonus episode of post-2024 Election conclusions. Meticulously researched with collaboration from Josh Cohen and Spencer Rider, filled with Felix’s caustic observations and humor, Seeking a Fren presents a definitive analysis of the conservative media and think tank universe, all things "Con, Inc." The series includes in-depth profiles of all your favorite creeps: Roger Stone, Roger Ailes, Pat Buchanan, Rush Limbaugh, Ron Paul, Matt Drudge, Ben Shapiro, Peter Thiel, Tucker Carlson, Laura Loomer, and more. Felix details the rise and fall of each of these stars as their movement devolves from the once-almighty Moral Majority to whatever the hell this is:
Beyond the media ecosystem, Felix also looks into how these figures & institutions impacted the Republican party itself. It's the story of how the party and its external apparatuses became completely intertwined & mutually reinforcing, resulting in the tail-wags-the-dog entertainment-as-politics chaos of the Trumpified GOP.
The first episode will premiere next Wednesday, December 11th for free on the Chapo feed on all platforms. Subsequent episodes will be posted the following 6 Wednesdays exclusive for our Patrons at Patreon.com/chapotraphouse.
MATT'S BOOK SHIPPING UPDATE
It exists! It's real!
We made the official deposit to start printing the main order of books with our great partners at Gorham Printing on November 14th. The manufacturers are estimating 10-12 weeks for printing. I know it's a drag to miss holiday season, but it's mostly because you all killed it with a truly massive order, an enormous task for these indie operations. So, we're hoping for books to start hitting your mailboxes in early February. If you need to update your shipping information between now and then, please contact customersupport@warrenjames.org, and they should be able to update your info.
Enjoy all the Slop,
Chapo Trap House

I would 100% pay for book versions of Matt's other series
A Cushvlog book would be the crown jewel of the black library, the learned word of the imperium.
Hi Chris! (If Chris is posting these, otherwise Hi Unpaid Intern! Can you forward this to Chris?) I have to say the post-Matt-stroke Chapo universe has stayed strong and good for us little pigs. A commendable job in the face of semi-losing a beloved genius that made things tick for a lot of us. Will and Felix have been crushing, you've been crushing, and I hope Matt is proud. I have been enjoying Matt's poetic missives from the ether. Your editing, thoughts on the shows, and ability to be a "floor general" (NBA term for sportsball Chapos) has been unstoppably stellar; you are an indelible piece of the Chapo puzzle, Chris. And as always, more Amber!!! (Alex is awesome, too). They continue to fill the Matt-sized hole in my heart.
Thomas crushed last ep as well; Chris calling timeouts and bringin some solid bench players in when needed. Oink oink if I say so myself.
Happy for the update on Matt’s book!
can you integrate your spotify with patreon so we can get member eps on there ok thanks apple podcasts sucks
they went over this a few months ago, they'd have to abandom the existing integrations
how about you "introduce" a "thursday episode"
You have brought this hog bliss and serenity, Mister Chapo. Blessed be.
Very happy to see the book did well, I personally am illiterate but this may well mean he cranks out more
Wen new pod
When they get back from Central Park on their citibikes
Awesome idea. Would love to see a series like this about the “real left”. What happened that we went from the radical movements of the early 20th century to a group of people who can’t even get through 10 minutes of a DSA meeting without 20 people crying and hyperventilating.
Lmao the left is woke?!
Looking forward to this
hell ya
Was introduced to Roger Stone via a Lee Atwater documentary like 15 years ago and have been morbidly fascinated by right wing freaks ever since, stoked for this
Unfathomably based
Road. Rubber. Meet it.
My slop trough runneth over
First mini series I've been really looking forward to. More slop please!
what an embarrassment of riches
That's when you have a large group of Rich Evans'
God my family had so many of those focus on the family cartoons on VHS in the 90’s. Dobson is such a grade A freak.
Have you heard of the podcast I Hate James Dobson? I thought it had a nice mix of catharsis and learning more about what an absolute monster he is.
Super excited to get my book & hear Felix's series !!!
Nice to see Matt with a big grin on his face. Can't wait to get my hands on the book ❤️
super excited for all of these! i cannot wait, but i do have a very unimportant question. i put a hoodie in the same order as Matt's book, will those ship together or will the hoodie come sooner? appreciate it!
Same!!
Can you share a full size file of that Fren .jpg? I want to make that into a poster.
Slop! Slop! Slop!
He is. His real name is Josh
Highly excited for this, basically the only reason I'm still subscribing
Dr Rev Christman's looking great!
Chairman Matt and his little red book
Nice
Very happy to hear about the book, I look forward to it in February. While we're on the subject of conservative media influencing the party and vice versa: when Rush Limbaugh came to visit the White House during the Bush administration, HW carried Limbaugh's luggage to the guest room. Despite ingratiating himself to this extent, Limbaugh still refused to endorse Bush for reelection, all because of some tax increases!
I believe this is mentioned in the series!
Cheers lads, stay frosty.
Yay! Thanks peeps!
Wasn’t Ettingermentum supposed to be a part of this?
Ettingermentum aka Josh Cohen
