Reason Why The Show Is Late
Hello Grey Wolves,
This is definitely the most difficult thing we’ve ever had to put out through the show. Last Tuesday morning, Matt Christman suffered a sudden, severe medical emergency that will require a significant period of recovery. He is currently in the hospital in stable condition. We are trying very hard to be optimistic, but there’s no easy way to say that he will be out of commission for the indefinite future.
As many of you are aware, Matt and his wife Amber Rollo are also expecting their first child, a daughter, and her delivery is scheduled this Sunday as well. We are all so, so excited and happy to welcome a new little Christman into the world, and we were looking forward to announcing this under better circumstances. But this situation is obviously drastically complicated by Matt’s medical emergency.
We are a family, so we are currently shifting all our priorities and attention to caring for Matt & Amber. A silver lining is Matt is so loved he has a tremendous support network out here - they are surrounded by friends and family and we are all-hands-on-deck helping them through these both tragic and joyous life events.
So listeners, please bear with us as we take our first hiatus in the seven and a half years of doing this show. We need to organize all our efforts around helping Matt in this critical period, and helping Amber through the birth of their daughter. And frankly, we’re just not in any place to give you guys any kind of entertaining material right now. The show WILL go on, though: we will be back next Thursday or the following Monday with new material for you all. We already had a number of all-star guests lined up to cover Matt’s paternity leave, so we will do our best to keep Chapo Trap House here for all of you as soon as we’re able.
Sincerely, thank you all for your support. For all our shit talk, we do love you. Matt loves you. We will try to provide appropriate updates and new information as soon as we can. We ask that you do your best to respect Matt & Amber’s privacy right now. And please, please don’t be weird little freaks about any of this. This is an incredibly weird situation for all of us, don’t make it weirder.
All the best & talk to you soon,
Chapo Trap House

Matt, love you man. Hope you and the fam are doing well. I don't know you, but you've changed my life. It's a big club, and I'm proud to be in it. I owe you a Fazoli's! and then some.
Get well soon Matt! ❤️
Hope Matt recovers 100%, and Congrats to Amber and him on the little one! Y'all do great work, much love from South Brooklyn.
We love you matt!! ♥️
God, poor Matt. Wishing him, Amber and the new baby all the best ♥️
Get well soon Matt! ❤️
Of course feinstein had to kick the bucket during the hiatus.
Maybe the best worst time for Diane Feinstein to bite it.
Very convenient that you guy's go on hiatus right before a government shutdown. We're supposed to believe you not funded by the CIA!?
i feel like DF purposefully waited to die until Matt was out of commission. here's hoping the good news perks him up. hope he's still on the up 🥺❤️
So sorry to hear about this. Wishing Matt a speedy recovery.
All the best to Matt, Amber, and the little one on her way. Saw you all in MTL recently, and while you were all great as uje, Matt particularly made me laugh my butt off.
Ok I'll be a weird little freak about unrelated stuff.
Wishing you speedy recovery Matt, Christman family and friends
Damn… best wishes to Matt and the rest of the gang. Hopefully he makes a safe and speedy recovery❤️ the silver lining for sure of this heavy message was finding out there will be a little Matt Christman running around in the world
From one Matt to another well wishes. Also, my father had a sudden medical emergency shortly before I was born, so I know just how serious this sort of situation is for your family.
Much love to Matt Christman❤️😔
I'm not weird! In fact, I just carved "RESPECT MATT AND AMBER'S PRIVACY!" into my arm with a razor blade.
Wishing you the best!
In the words of Eric Adams, "Don't let redditors be your editors at the podcast of success." Sending loving thoughts to Matt. I'll be here when you're ready to resume, not complaining.
The Demiurge tried but you just can't keep a good Christman down.
Get better Matt and congrats to all on the new Christman.
:(
was gonna make some "what is matt the male seahorse? carrying the baby etc etc" but holy crap I had no idea of any of it. damn. matts my political Diogenes. so bummed. get well! phl sends love <3
Get well soon, my dude. Everybody here.
Good luck and congratulations on the new arrival! Matt is such a hilarious and talented man, please take all the time you need and good luck to you, Amber, and the new Christman!!
Take literally all the time you need! We’re thinking about you Matt!
Get well soon Matt. Looks like I'll have to educate myself for a while. Hopefully I won't have fucked up my brain before you get back. We need you and love you more than you could possibly know.
Take all the time you need to recover brother, don’t rush it. Also congrats on the birth of your daughter!
Cushbomb better be okay. Parasocial or not I love that homie.
Our parauncle
I can't overstate how much Matt's work means to me. There's just never been anything in newsmedia or humor packing such a well earned depth of knowledge. He's quick and funny, but always well considered and genuine. His monologue episodes about the Mormon church and Upton Sinclair really stick out. They're basically history lessons selected with timing that made them relevant. All the best for a speedy recovery, and long happy fatherhood.
Please get well soon, Matt!
Love and Health to all. Be well Matt
Love y’all, thinking of you
Love and gratitude for you all. Sending prayers
☹️
Nothing but love for you all.
My heart is with you all
Sending love to a fellow northlander. I don't think there's anything I could add that is more of a testemant to how beloved and respected Matt is than the fact that even Rod Dreher himself tweeted well-wishes.
Did he really?? Or are you pulling our collective leg?
Just throwing another one of these comments onto the pile, but Matt has done so much for the way I see the world, and his ability to synthesize his insane levels of general knowledge and historical context into thoughtful and hopeful exhortations has opened me up to a general hunger for knowledge that I kind of let die at some point when I was in grade school. Feeling like I could potentially understand the world again has given me a reason to reengage with the broader world in a way that I didn’t for a long time, and that has made my life a lot richer. You’re a king, cushbomb. I hope you see these comments and understand you have been George Bailey to a lot of us. Wishing you a speedy recovery, and saying thanks for everything so far— but you’ve got a lot more to good to do in the world, I think we would all agree!
So much love to all of you!
Always afraid it would be Matt first. Too kind and too Midwest for this world.
My heart goes out to y'all
Wishing everyone involved the best. Get well soon Matt
Get well soon Matt! Keep your heads up guys! Love you all!
take all the time you need, kings. you’ve given us enough slop to last a lifetime already.
🙏
The pain piggies will always be here to support our lord. Best wishes to you and Amber on recovery and parenthood.
Get well soon Matt-you'll be up and grillin' for that new baby in no time!!!
All my love for you and especially Matt and Amber.💜
love to all, get well soon Matt <3
❤️❤️❤️ Sending lots of love and fortitude to you all. Thank you for taking good care of Matt and wishing a speedy recovery & joyful, healthy birth❤️
Praying
Been listening to you guys for at least two hours a week for 7 years. Matt’s thoughtful streams are what kept me sane through the pandemic. He taught me how the world works and how power operates and the world is better with him in it. Hope he has a full recovery
Praying for the Christmans♥️
Huge prayers up for Matt & Amber. So sorry that you're going through this, especially at such a significant time in your life. Best wishes on your recovery. I'm sure I am not alone when I say how much Matt's opinions, frustrations, and ego-death revelations have helped listeners to overcome the pervasive sense of doom that hangs over modern life. Thanks to all the Chapos for your work and for your caring natures.
Love to Matt, heart wrenching news.
All of you are in my thoughts, but Matt and Amber especially. Here's to a speedy recovery, and easy birth and lots of happiness moving forward.
You guys got me through six years of being sick. Sending the closest thing to a prayer that I’m capable of❤️❤️❤️
Get well soon, Matt
<33333
❤️❤️❤️❤️
During the pandemic, and after, Matt became our bearded man in They Live, transmitting the truth to us all. Stay strong brother. As the parent of a 2 year old myself, I desperately need your analysis on the insane imagery of children’s programming: Why are there so many anthro-cars? How many Mr Noodles have there been? What do they owe the daemonic entity, known as Elmo? These are important questions we need you to help us answer. Sending you, Amber, and baby power and love.
Started listening 6 years ago as a stay at home mum with a newborn. You helped me through a very lonely bit of life. Gutting to hear that the early days of Matt and amber’s experience of parenthood will be significantly harder than that, but hopeful that they can reclaim those moments when he’s well. X
Matt, you've given me a great deal to consider over the last 6 years and while your voice will be sorely missed, being patient while you recover is the very least I or anyone else can do. Please get well and take all the time you need to do so.
Prayers up 🙏
The extent of this relationship is that I like you guys' work, but l like you guys' work and I look forward to hearing more of it. When you're all ready and no sooner.
Good luck to Matt, Amanda and their baby, it’ll all be ok stay strong
Best of luck with your recovery Matt.
Really gutted to hear of Matt's illness. Have been a listener from the beginning and his voice is as familiar to me as those of my real life friends. So much goodwill to Amber and baby Christman, hoping for the best possible outcomes for all.
I regret to inform you that we got weird about it. Sorry we tried. Get better Matt!
I hope they’re exploring eastern, western, and holistic medical treatments. Get well soon Matty
Matt, I wish you strength and the best of luck in your recovery and your journey into fatherhood.
Prayers to him and his family. To whatever cosmic phenomena looks after their vlogging prophet
May you brush this off and move on.
Get well soon Matt ✊
Solidarity Always
Take all the time you need. I hope Matt recovers fully and soon.
Best wishes to Matt. Love that guy.
Get well soon Matt, much love from Denmark
So much love to you guys. I’m so sorry that this is going on!
I hope Matt makes a speedy recovery, I have so much love for that goofball.
Fcking socialism at it's best again!
Oh no! The guy Finkelstein called out for not speaking during an entire interview is sick and can't put in his 2 hours a week?
Would love to know who your favorite internet character is. Bet it’s a lib. Smdh
Big love Matt and fam xx
We all love you Matt and Amber. Nothing but good thoughts and well wishes.
Take your time. I hope he gets well soon
Good lord, take all the time you need. Sending all the healthy vibes their way. We need at least 50 more years of Matt in this world. ❤️
Get well Matt! Good luck Amber! Much love ❤️
lots of love to you, matt! hope you make a full recovery ❤️🩹
Genuinely enjoy this show and I hope that Matt recovers as quickly as possible. He is a remarkable gift and the world would be a lesser place without him. Very few people this really applies to
Chillin with the homies indeed. Get well soon bubula <3
Wishing Matt a speedy and full recovery. Best wishes to his family and friends.
Vaxxed? Get well soon Matt, the show would never be the same without you. Lots of love to you and your family.
Wishing Matt and the fam only the best
I hope you and your family are doing well ❤️
Get well Matt! Much love to you guys.
Normal medical emergency means Matt we'll tell us what the fuck happened himself after he's recovered
Matt has been such a source of hope for the future for me as I welcomed my first child into the world not long ago. As my Wisconsite wife will attest, they don’t make them weak up there and I know he’ll pull through. Praying hard for Matt and Amber and their daughter and the whole family today and forever.
I love Matt, Godspeed
♥♥♥.
He's a prophet.
I’ll be praying tonight for both Matt and Amber. I wish the best for the both of them. All of my love and all of my heart is with them. Matt, please get better. ❤️
Hey thank you all so much for all you do. Sending Love and support from Arizona 🤘🤘
Wish for him to be back home with his daughter asap. I’m sure your audience are adult enough to understand any hiatus.
Get well Matt
Wishing for nothing but the best for Matt and Amber.
Pulling for.you out here in idaho, Matt. Stay strong guys
so much love for you guys an matt. i’m not religious but i’m praying
Hoping for the best outcome for Matt and his family🥺
We’re all pulling for you. Wir schaffen das.
Get well soon Matt <3
Love to everyone especially Amber and Matt, he will recover
Hang in there matt. Prayers on a speedy recovery. Good luck to you and your family
Take as much time as you need off, get Matt healthy, come back when you can. We’ll be here
Seriously, I nominate Alice Avizandum as replacement.
Jeez, Matt, upstaging your own pregnant wife!?
Get well soon Matt
Very unironically cool to hear how much you all care for Matt and are caring for him and his family. Keep up the great work. A lot of people rooting for you
get well ♥️
Much love to everyone ❤️ wishing a speedy recovery to Matt ❤️🙏
Matt makes the world a much brighter place. A true original. I hope he’s fit a ranting soon.
I love the show but make sure to take of each other and yourselves first I hope he gets better soon!
Matt referred to the character Banquo from Macbeth in one of his Cushvlogs, so I looked up the quote, took the copy of Shakespeare's complete works I'd bought but never looked through, walked to the park, sat and read through the whole play. Now once a year I make a point to find somewhere quiet and dedicate a few hours to reading one of Shakespeare's plays, essentially in honour of that day, that casual reference, and Matt's endorsement of the importance of reading. Get well soon, and sending strength to Amber. x
Was kinda stunned to hear this today. Love you all; hope things improve. :ohdear:
Hang in there, Matt. The world needs you.
Matt’s incredibly unique perspectives on both history and spirituality influences me enormously in my day to day life and has given me hope for a better future when at times it seems that all is lost. This is absolutely devastating. There’s nothing more important than to love each other so I hope you all take as much time as you need to support Matt and his family
Love to all. Thanks for this update.
Much love to all of you ❤️❤️
Power and strength to Matt, Amber and all of the Chapo family ❤️❤️
Pull through
Love you all. I don’t know what else to say. 💕💕
I was religious when I was a kid, but like many, grew disillusioned in the context of adult life. In short, I am skeptical of being lectured by anyone on morality and love. Matt talks a lot about history and politics, and makes good points on many fronts; but, I keep coming back to the CushVlogs because he is the only person, other than my wife, who can show me what it means to love in a way that I actually believe. I’m hoping that in some small way I can reflect the love he revealed back to him, his family, and all those close to him. Sending my thanks for the way he shaped my life for the better, on multiple fronts, during dark times of political and general strife. His presence in my life has meant a great deal to me, and I imagine it will stay with me forever in some way.
I mean, I listened to like 13 hours on the history of the 30-years war. Something from that better stick!
Real gut-punch to read this, can't even imagine what you're going through. Take all the time you need. Matt's thoughtfulness, honesty, and righteous anger have gotten us all through some tough times and shifted our perspectives for the better. Much love, get well soon, and congratulations on the little one!
Love you Cush get well soon!
All the love in the world to Matt, his family, and the whole Chapo team ❤️
Matt’s way of articulating his politics and ethics has shaped my thinking in a really profound and positive way. He seems like a great guy too. For what it’s worth, sending positive energy your way.
During COVID I was in the worst place I’ve been in my life and frankly the early cushvlogs helped me immensely. Will never ever forget that and will always love Matt Christman. God bless him, his wife Amber and their beautiful daughter.
Sending love from Arizona! We love you Matt! May your family and homies stay close, that is what matters! Take all the time you need, we will always be here rooting for you. Love to you all!
You’re all in my thoughts so heartbroken to hear this hoping Matt gets well soon
love you all, take all the time you need. love you matt
Over 3, 500 ♥️'s and almost 1,500 comments. The silent majority has come out for Matt and the Family. Wishing and praying for the best 🙏
god damn I know we all get labeled edgy or whatever for liking chapo but this is a god damned care bear stare of love and I am literally choking back tears. God speed in recovery Crisp Mattman.
Sending love to Matt, Amber, and all the dry boys, prayers for Matt, Amber and their new child’s health and happiness and that they can enjoy this special time with Matt’s recovery. I will never unsubscribe no matter how long I go without the slop, especially after you guys came to Fort Lauderdale last year. Get well soon MATT
Get better, please.
Send my love your way, Matt. You have made this world a better place with your creativity and passion.
Good vibes to Matt and company ! Get well soon.
Sending good vibes!

I wish I believed in the power of prayer, because it would feel like I’m actually doing something. We love you, Matt, and we hope for a speedy recovery.
All love Chapos, heal well Matt 🧡
Protect the most big brained man of all time, at all costs. Heartbreaking stuff, love you Matt.
Heal well, Matt. Thank you Chapo family for being there and displaying what mutual aid can do when it's your praxis🤎
Wishing Matt a speedy recovery.
Much love to Matt and his family and friends.
Still ringing in my head from one of those last Cushvlogs: “Faith in others. It’s the only thing that can ground you.” (Also ringing in my head: Matt mumbling thru Cake’s wonderful ‘You Part the Waters’.) All of my love & prayers to our big handsome general Matt, to Amber, to the Christmanchild, and to the whole Chapo family.
Get well soon Matt, we all love you!
get well soon m8
Get well soon Professor ❤️, with love from Seattle.
Awful. Sending good vibes to Matt and Chapo Fam
All our love to you guys and Matt’s family.
Get well soon Matt, sending love.
Sending love
Fuck fuck fuck. Please please please. I love you I love you I love you.
We love you Matt, Godspeed:-{
Sending so much love. Get well soon Matt.
Get well soon, Matt. It won’t be the same without you screaming your rants on the show :(
"Matt Christman is the total package." -Paul Giamatti. Matt is truly amazing. I've seen comments saying "He's my hero". It sounds stupid for a podcaster to be someone's hero, but Matt is on another level. You get a few teachers or professors who change your life. Matt is one of those for me and for so many other people. This isn't a parasocial relationship. It's something extremely special that's usually limited to a classroom for a semester. Matt has been able to spread it far beyond a classroom and without making us go into debt to pay tuition. Plus he's extremely funny. Extremely loving. Extremely based. Extremely entertaining. Extremely a lot of other good qualities. He is legitimately the greatest media figure in history. Not an exaggeration at all. Greater than James Cameron. Think about it and you'll see it's true. People are also saying that Matt, especially with the Cushvlogs, has saved them from kts. I believe it! I think that Matt has saved many lives. I know mine would be a lot different and worse without him. For anyone who hasn't watched the Cushvlogs yet, watch them now. And search for Matt's appearances on other podcasts. He's already given us so much. Best wishes to Matt, Amber, the baby, their families, the Chapos, and their friends. And to my fellow listeners: love yourself and everyone around you!
I agree with every word! Thank you for saying it all It's so funny that Chapo in general get called bitter irony bros (or misogynists or whatever else), but the Grey Wolf Way is really about love, and the Cushvlogs were filled with it. I don't know how many times I've heard 'Matt kept me sane/alive through lockdown'😻😻💕 (PS, I am so delighted a child is being raised by such a wonderful couple; I usually get all WC Fields about children but this is so beautiful.)
This is heartbreaking all the love and best wishes to Matt, Amber, their family and you guys too. You guys consistently put so much into this podcast, I don’t think anyone here is even thinking about when the next episode is. Take as much time as you all need. We’ll all still be here
I'm just glad he's got tons of support in every way that matters, so, good luck.
Nothing but love and support to our man.
All love and well wishes to Matt and Amber. This sounds so hard and I'm glad he has his homies around.
I’m so sad to read this. Sending love and healing vibes to the big man
Wishing Matt a speedy recovery and much love to him and all the people in his life.
I've been re-listening to the Hell on Earth series this week and appreciating Matt's talent. Wishing him a full and quick recovery so that he can get back to making fun of war crimes and other atrocities as he is supposed to. Sending good thoughts to all.
This is a great idea. I miss him.
Much love to my big beautiful boys ♥️
Thinking about you all during this difficult time. I’ve been enjoying watching Matt’s friends retweet his Greatest Hits to remember happier times. So glad that y’all can be together to support one another, Matt, Amber, and the little gal on the way
Matt I wish for you to get better , I didn’t know you’re fixing to welcome a daughter into this world and am glad to hear this news, but fuck man i hate that other news… I’m wishing for the most speedy of recoveries so you can get some good time to spend with your daughter. Much love from South Carolina! You’re a very lovable person especially for someone you have zero connection with other than listenership, and hope that you pull thru like a fucking champ homie we love him, don’t we folks??,??
SC grey wolves represent
Take yall’s time.. sending love to Matt and the crew. 🙏🏼

best wishes to matt and amber that's quite the challenge and i hope everything turns out well
Love to you all - let Matt know we're all still expecting him to rule for many years over the Midwest Kingdom and we stand ready to fly his banners high
Love you Matthew
Best wishes for Matt and the chapo family
love and prayers for Matt, Amber and family
Prayers for Matt, Amber and everyone. I can’t wait to hear you all laugh when you’re ready and able to.
Hard news to wake up to. Fewer internet strangers are more easy to feel love and support for than Matt Christman. There are thousands of us pulling for you, man. Hoping you get well, and get it soon.
Get well soon Matt, got you all in my prayers
Much love for Matt, wishing a fast recovery
Love you all, wishing all the best
There is a Matt and it never goes out

Get well soon Matt.
Thoughts and prayers, bless up homie
Get well soon Matt! You are so appreciated by so many. Take all the time you need and don’t stress, all will be well. Thanks for the update Chapo fam.
Rest up, and get well soon!
Love you Matt. Thoughts and prayers
One of my most treasured memories was me and Matt getting rip roaring drunk and watching My Cousin Vinny at 1 in the morning, and we were so loud and motormouthed that my now-wife had to come out and tell us to pipe down. She later described it as 2 Foghorns Leghorn hosting a movie podcast. Get well soon Matt.
Sending all of the love to Matt from Denver.
I’ve learned and laughed so much from Matt all these years, wishing for a speedy recovery. All the love to him, Amber, and the whole gang ❤️
Get well Matt. Best wishes to you your family and all your peeps.
This was gutting to hear. Matt is always so insightful and I have learned so much from his broad understanding of history and social currents. Was and always will be the best Chapo. Take all the time you need, boys, to get Matt healthy! Wishing all the best for Matt and his family. We love you, Matt! Get well soon!
Sorry to hear this, all the best to Matt and his family.
Get well soon matt! Love you bud!
Please don't rush at all. Our thoughts and prayers are with Matt and Amber.
Matt’s insights and humor have helped me and so many make sense of some really tough times. Sending love and strength to Matt, Amber and baby girl.
Get well soon, Matt! We love you.
Matt, I imagine by now you have come to expect hearing about how much of an intellectual influence you have been to people. How you have helped people understand a mystified and disordered world. But maybe you are less aware of how much of a rock you have been to this community. People mock parasociality a lot these days, and for good reason. But I know that for a lot of people here, myself included, you were there for us at our lowest point. You were there to let us think about something other than the darkness surrounding us, and to let us laugh at the absurdity of this life. But most of all you were there to let us feel less like we were taking on whatever was happening to us alone. To remind us that there are other people who maybe see the world a bit like ourselves and in that sense form a community. Well today, I hope we can return the favor. I hope that as you see this community that has come to surround you, you can take heart knowing that come what may, you will never be alone. With sincere affection, James
Wishing Matt the best! Been subbed since like, 2017 (*feels joints creaking and turning to dust*) and you guys have always delivered episodes week after week. (I actually can't believe you've never taken a hiatus until now. Take a break once in a while, fellas. We'll survive lmao.) Y'all are one of the highlights of my week and we all appreciate the laughs, goofs, and spoofs in the face of tough times. Hoping for a speedy recovery for Matt and a bright future for his daughter! Best wishes!
Love to Matt, Amber, and the Chapo extended universe. Get well soon cushbomb ❤️
Sending good vibes, Jesus I’m so sorry. All the best to you all.
No rush. We love you Matt!
Love to Matt and his family of support, my heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery ❤️🩹.
Much Love to the one and only Matt Christman! Wishing him, Rollo and their future child long nights listening to Matt ramble about the state of American liberals!
Matt fucking rules, but our large son is a strong man and will make it through this. If you ever feel comfortable with it, please give an address we can send our well wishes and other good stuff to. I’m in Vietnam now and would love to send him some Ho Chi Minh swag.
I’ll get him some Vietnamese baby clothes too. God bless Matt, Amber and baby Cushbomb
Matt continues to shape how I see the world. It’s made me love people more. He’s the most insightful person I’ve ever encountered. May our love protect him and his family.
Take all the time needed. Subscription locked in!! You're all irreplaceable. Matt is so funny and moving. His point of view has been invaluable to me. Here's to a speedy recovery.
We can’t lose him and Micheal brooks both. It’s too much
I can’t fucking believe this, so devastating
My thoughts are with you, Matt, Amber, & family. Sending love and hope your way...
I’ll keep some candles lit until that good news comes rolling in. Get well Soon Matt.
Sending love and healing mojo.
Matt - You Beautiful Thicc Warren Zevon Uber Mensch! We need your Heart & Mind in this People’s Movement. Farewell Young Christman Soldier….
Fuck this is devastating. I was just combing through all the old episodes for more of Matt's exquisitely literate quips (such as making up the name "Beatriz de Mengele" for a South American fascist). His wit is rivaled only by that of Felix, albeit in different areas of expertise. I'm hoping that Matt pulls a Gandalf move, makes a miraculous recovery and returns as Matt Lazarusman when we least expect it.
sending love to Matt and Amber 💜💜
Prayers are up.
Take a week, take a month, charge us double or triple for the rest of the year, whatever it takes to keep Matt and his new family safe and comfortable.
Need matt to survive to make fun of David brooks 78 dollar burger tweet about Biden inflation
Sending love and best wishes to matt and his family (including you guys). Good vibes coming your way!
Thoughts are with Matt and the family. No rush on content, focus on what is important. Sending love to you all

Sending love to Matt and Amber and the little Christman and all the Chapo family. Get well soon!
Oh shit. Fuck the episode. I just want Christman to recover.

Big time 🙏 ;; this is awful news

All the love Matt & Amber.
Lots of love Matt!!
Get well soon Matt! Our thoughts are with you Chapo
I shall sacrifice a chicken at midnight for his health. And also not be a weird little freak. But in all seriousness, best wishes, good luck, and health. Meanwhile let's us fans all leave our big wet boy to recover in peace.
Long Live King Matt you Big Beautiful Wet Boy! Get well soon tiger!
Get better Matt, you old saw. All the love in the world to Matt, Amber, their family, and the rest of Chapo!
Sending love to Matt and Amber, and their daughter, and their loved ones.
One of the things Matt has said that's affected me the most is that the reason we're afraid to see this diseased social order collapse is because we don't trust people. We don't trust that we will come together to build something better. I don't think you can come to that insight without having people in your life that you know will help take care of you and your family in a time like this.
We may give you shit on Patreon at times, but we adore you guys. We absolutely love you all to bits, and it's very obvious that Matt is surrounded by the best people he could possibly hope for at a time like this. Stay strong, all of you. Take all of the time you need, it's not gonna change anything because where the fuck else could we all go? Lots of love ❤️
Really heartbreaking news, and my thoughts go out to Matt and Amber. Hoping for an easy, quick recovery! Take all the time you need- circumstances like this are infinitely more important than any episode or whatever. Sending love and kind vibes from Minnesota.
Sending up prayers for swift recovery and also for Amber and baby Christman. Very grateful for the work you guys put in up to this point. Take the time you need, I ain’t leaving!!!!!
This is complete ass. Sending as much psychic energy as I can towards the big beautiful boy.
Also, amber
Sending lots of love and positive vibes to Matt, Amber, the newest member of the Chapo Fam, and all of you guys. Take the time you need to take care of them and each other. We’re not going anywhere
All the best for Matt and his family.
Take as much time as you guys need. We’re not going anywhere. Long live Matt
Sending love 🖤🖤
Sending Matt all the love! Hang in there boys 🩷🩷🩷
Hang in there mate 🙏
Terrible news. Thinking of Matt, his family, and everyone at Chapo. Best wishes and get well soon.
Best wishes, for the next few days & the road ahead
Nothing to add other than prayers up for Maty and Amber
Wishing you a fast recovery, Matt. Wishing Amber and the new Christman good health as well. To the crew, wishing you all peace of mind. Much love from South Carolina.
Devastated to hear such a fate befall Matt, but I'm glad he's okay (as far as he can be in such a situation), and that he's getting the support he needs and you all are taking the time to be part of that network. Stay well, guys! Cheers from Upstate.
Be well Matt. I wish the best for you and your family. Take all the time needed to get better.
I was listening to ep 122 (maybe 121) today and the subject was how centrist democrats offer no solutions and how, even with all of their dirty donor money, all they can do is buy ads and they still can't even win anymore. Cue Matt screaming (a classic, truly classic scream - the one that we all feel deep in the core of our beings, you know, the one that perfectly encapsulates what it feels like to be alive in 21st century America if you have any heart or kindness or empathy - that scream that we all love so much [this was back when he was still skyping in and so it was shitty and tinny and therefore even funnier]) that all they have to offer is a two minute close up of Hilary Clinton's face. And then Will says: "There he is. Theeerrre he is." It was just one more laugh out loud moment to add to the hundreds of others you all have given me. Here's hoping there are hundreds more to come. All my love and best wishes. You can have my $5, slop or no slop, for as long as you want it. Take care of yourselves and each other.
Get well soon Matt, sending you and the crew love and best wishes during this very difficult time. Take the time you need and thank you for all these years of Chapo. Much love from Brazil ❤️
Get well soon Matt!
Sending big love to Matt and Amber. And of course also for little baby Christman as well. Recover soon Matt, you’re the best teacher out there.
Sending love and best wishes to Matt and his family … Ottawa, Canada
Oh fuck my life. Not now. Get well from NZ we love you, miss you and need you.
Get well soon Matt!
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. Much love to you all x
Love you guys!
This is awful news. Here’s hoping for a fast recovery and health and happiness for the future.
Sending love to Wisconsin's best! Take as much time as needed.
Love you all and I love you Matt
Matt’s way of looking at and thinking about the world has been a palliative force to me (and I’ve been through several medical emergencies myself). I wish him and his wife and child strength constancy and love. I can’t wait to hear his perspective post recovery. Also he’s going to need to take an even longer hiatus to take his wife and kid out for the vacation to end all vacations after upstaging them like this.
Get better soon, Matt! Sending love and prayers from West Africa ❤️
Sending my love
My heart, liver and various internal organs go out to Matt, Amber, their daughter and all of the Chapo family. Chapo and Cushvlog scooped out various parts of my brain, stupidly positioned, filled the lacunae, and rearranged the pieces to where they should be. Because of Matt I am vibing harder than ever. Swift recovery King xx
Sending lots of love and support from Amsterdam.
get well Matt, look forward to your triumphant return
Love you, Matt.
Get well soon Matt 🙏
Get well soon, Matt!
From the inebriated past to the complicated present we're all here for Matt
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and congratulations on the baby
Nothing but love for you guys—take all the time you need.
All best to Matt and family x
Good luck to both Matt and Amber. Much love to both of you and the rest of the Chapo crew/community. Please take all the time you need! ❤️
We’re all pondering the monad here for Matt!
All the best from Australia, 😘 you my chapo boyz
All my love to Matt, Amber and everyone at Chapo.
go matt, go amber, please be well, love love gratitude, peace, comfort
Get well soon matt
Rise again like a beltway phoenix my son <3
❤️ matt ❤️ amber
Strongest possible good vibe projections towards Matt and Amber. The world needs you now more than ever ❤️
I always learn something, and laugh, whenever I listen to Matt. He has made my life better. Only the best to Matt and his family. Get ready for lots of side eye when you talk to your kids about school/history.
All the best to Matt and Amber! I honestly wouldn't be mad if y'all took some more time. Content schedules are a fake idea, especially when dealing with real shit.
All my love to Matt and Amber. It's good to hear that you support and care for each other in this way. And I promise to not be a little freak :)
i really won't be upset if you take a longer time off. do whatever needs to be done.
Matt I wish you a speedy recovery! Soon you will hold your healthy baby daughter in your arms. Much love to all the chapo family! From Vienna Austria
So sorry to hear. I would absolutely contribute to an emergency fund if needed.
Matt, we hope you pull through like you pulled us through, and continue to pull us through, a world going to hell. You made it so much better though. We love you Matt!
best wishes to matt and amber, for all it's worth
Wishing a speedy recovery to Matt.
Much love to you all, and get well soon Matt.
Here's to a full and speedy recovery for Matt. Look after yourselves, too. Take your time, we can wait. 💜
Love
Get well soon Matt ❤️
Get well Matt!
Much love to Matt Amber and the Chapo family. You've helped keep me sane as the world seems to be descending into madness. Hopefully the concentrated good vibes of the Chapo community will help speed Matt to a full recovery and happy start to this new phase of his and Amber's life.
Sending my love and best wishes, Matt and Amber. Crushing to hear and I hope he is back in good health soon.
Love to Matt and Amber
All my love to Matt and Amber <3 <3 <3
Wishing you a speedy and full recovery Matt. The very best wishes to Amber and all the Chapo family.
Sending love to matt and amber
This is hard news. Hang in there guys. Take all the time you need and God bless Matt.
Sending my love
What terrible news on this Saturday morning. My heart goes out to all of you. Wishing all the best
is there anywhere we can donate to his recovery
Was wondering the same thing. Sad that it even has to be asked but that’s the shitsandwich the US health care system feeds us.
Matt and Amber are in my thoughts, this really sucks. The low of this and the high of a new life so close together is incredibly tough. A speedy recovery for Matt, for both the happiness of the Chapo whanau and for the selfish reason that I will miss his righteous fury twice a week.
What an awful break during what should be a time of joy, prayers of health and strength for Cush, Amber and their forthcoming daughter. You will all be on a ton of minds on sunday, God bless you all.
A speedy and full recovery Matt! From Matt.
Really sorry to hear this. Wishing for a speedy and full recovery. All the best Matt 🫶🏻
I'd like to contribute to a Matt and Amber diaper fund or some such. If you should make one... I value this team and Matt a great deal, you all make my week better. This is a terrible situation and I'm so very sorry this happened.
Wishing a speedy recovery ❤️
Fuck, so sorry to hear this. Inshallah Matt will be okay 🙏
Sendling love strength and healing vibes. We need you Matt -- we can't be trusted to Kushvlog on our own. Seriously though, we can't -- won't -- lose our champion. See/hear you soon, daddio.
Tactical prayers deployed
You better believe prayers are happening right now for Matt and Amber. <3 <3 <3
Really sorry to hear this, wishing the big man a speedy recovery and a Happy Birthday to baby Christman 💚 praying everything turns out ok
Sending all the good vibes
This is terrible news to wake up to. Sending good vibes to you all, and wishing hard for Matt's quick full recovery... Xx
Damn. Get well big magician
Damn this is hard to hear hoping for the best.
dumping orgone in matt’s direction- we love you matt, get well soon!
Awful news. Sending love to Matt, Amber and all friends and family ❤️
Wishing all the best to Matt, Amber, their child and all the Chapo crew.
Apart from the entertainment, Matt helped me not go insane during lockdown. Wishing him many many years with Amber and the little one.
May you come back even stronger 🙏
Get well soon and god-speed to the the little one - take all the time you guys need ❤️
🙌🏽 Stay with us Cushbomb, Big love from🇳🇬
I've been very happy to see Josh Androsky's photos of Matt at the Reagan and Nixon museums. I had started going out of my way to see most of the presidential museums, mainly because Matt had shown me that studying history could be a living, breathing thing, that we actively interpret and are radicalized by. I am thankful for the occasions I've had to see Chapo live - especially at the Bernie rally in Iowa, meeting him at the Bernie rally, it felt like anything was possible! He is loved by many, myself included. I wish a steady recovery, a safe delivery, and much more in the future for you all.
Get well soon Matt!
Love to you all ❤️
Very sad, get well soon
sending so much healing all of your ways 💕
Matt, get well soon. For Amber and Matt, a happy healthy delivery. Love
get well soon matt <3
Matt is the reason I listen to Chapo. Very concerned and upset for Matt and his loved ones, praying for the best.
I don't even know what to say except I'm grateful they have you guys there for them.
🙏🙏❤️
Swift recovery, feel better champ.
Best wishes to Matt and Amber
Man, I'm really sad, I love Matt, I didn't know he was having a baby too, damn. I wish you a full fast recovery from the bottom of my heart Matt ❤️ lots of strength to Amber too
Go help the boy, do your thing. We will be here, God speed.
Well, that sucks. Get well soon ya big doofus, we’re here for you and Amber❤️
Prayers up for Matt, Cushvlog streams made me change up a lot about my life and he deserves the very best from the world
Please get well Matt
Prayers up for Matt
Prayers up for Matt 🙏🙏🙏. I really hope he gets better soon and his family reaps many blessing.
Considering how much affection I have for Matt Christman just from listening to him on the interwebs I can only imagine how much the people who actually know him irl are feeling right now. I am so sorry. Amber is 100% correct: we listeners aren’t family we are fans. That said Matt’s candor and ability to allow himself to be vulnerable and even cringe at times (as he says all great art must have a little cringe in it) makes one feel like he really is a friend and that is an incredible gift. Thank you for that Matt and get well soon.
All the best to Matt and Amber.
God what awful news. My heart goes out to Amber Rollo, I can't imagine how difficult this confluence of events is for her. All my love to Matt, Amber, and the whole Chapo family, I have faith you'll get through this.
so sorry to hear, hoping for a swift and total recovery
rest up, Big Magician. i’m gonna get sauced and watch SNL tonight.
Just another one saying you're always an inspiration and comfort. Get well soon and take as long as you need boys
All my best wishes and hopes from the UK for Matt, family and friends.
Shocked to hear this. Please send all our love and best wishes to Matt and Amber.
All my love to Matt and Amber
All love to Matt and Amber
Best wishes to Matt and to Amber ❤️
Well wishes. Take care of yourselves.
Love to Matt. Love to Amber. Love to the little one and every single one of you. Take your time. We’ll be here when you’re ready.
we don’t love to see it. grey wolves oregon outpost sending only the most positive vibes. anyone know which particular cushvlog chris is referring to at the end?
I don't know the number/title, but I remember watching the stream, because someone in the chat responded to the question with the whole "seeing your enemies driven before you" quote and Matt repudiated it.
That’s really shitty, best wishes to Matt and Amber. ❤️❤️❤️
be well big pimp
This is why we don't play with squibs and blanks without an armorer and EMS on site, people. No Sweded RoboCop movie, no matter how based, is worth the life, limbs, or eyesight of a comrade of such clarity, quality, and gosh-darn-it-people-just-like-him-ity as Matt. Fail sons across this beautiful country, are wishing Matt a thorough, and speedy, but most importantly thorough healing. I personally want Matt to know he was a major part in opening me up to belief in God (may He be Glorified and Exalted), and he and his family will be in my prayers.
Swift recovery Matt!
Matt and Amber we love you. My heart goes out to you and all your loved ones. Pls take as much time as you need and more as you recover and as you build your beautiful family. We are all here to support you. The only thing that matters right now is your health and the well being of your family. If there is anything we can do to support you don’t hesitate to ask, otherwise we will respect your privacy during this difficult time. Wishing you and your family love, strength and support. I know you have great, loving people around you, and that they will care for you and your family. You are loved, may all be well.
All the best :(
Please be okay :(
Guininely pained over this. Get well soon to our man and blessings for the whole chapo village, including the incoming Christman.
Sending all support and care for Matt and Amber and everyone.
Matt
Love from Winnipeg Mb Canada. Praying for you both.
Oh no
Fuck. We love you Matt and Amber!
Sending all my love ❤️
T+Ps to the entire Christman-Rollo family. Let the Chapo "family" know how we can help. We are with you, comrade, all the way
Bless
This has me shook. Pulling for the mad lad.
Much love and sending prayers🫶
My best wishes to Matt and to the rest of the Chapo family.
I started praying to my God as soon as you all said the word. Count Von Tilly style prayers for Matt, Amber, and baby Christman-Rollo.
Love, prayers, gratitude and solidarity from Minnesota. Thank you for being there to support and care for a man loved so much by so many.
Love and strength🏁
Bless up to the Christman-Rollo family, here’s to a full recovery for our driest boy.
Very sorry -- best wishes re: all of this
sending best wishes for and to Matt, and his family, and the dry boys. His work on the pod and the grill streams have been immensely entertaining and very thought provoking to me. I can't know the level of distress that this has introduced into his, her, and your lives but I can offer my empathy, understanding, and continuing support in these tough times. Be well, and take all the time you need Mr.Chapo, you've earned it and then some. Heartfelt thanks, ( I forgot my username on this app)
Get well soon Matt ❤️🙏
Best to you Matt. And the whole crew. ❤️
Support for my favorite fail son turned good good boy, and then good good man. Hang in there, Matt. 🫡
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gutted by this news, but glad Matt is getting care and on the mend, no matter how long. Truly one of the greats.
🙏
Super sad and extremely hopeful that Matt recovers and is able to enjoy his first child with Amber. Very worried and sending major good vibes their way❣️🥺
No worries, gang. I’ve loved you all for 4 years, I can wait 4 more, I hope Matt and Amber are okay.
oh no. hoping for a speedy recovery. matt is such an important voice. i hope y’all are doing alright. damn

Oh damn. Much love to Matt.
Get well Matt- your voice will be missed but heal and gather strength from everyone who loves you.

Matt brings so much joy and courage to a world that is often so dark. There are times that his words have helped me in ways I can't describe. I hope that his family know how loved and respected he is in this difficult time. Solidarity forever!
♥️♥️♥️
Get well soon Matt, the world needs your wisdom
All the love to Matt, Amber and the baby.
Wishing a speedy recovery ❤️
Thinking of his family. His presence is badly needed—I hope things get better.
♥️
We’re all pulling for Matt, for Amber and the whole crew. Nothing but love to all of you and yours
Matt was the reason I started listening to this show. We will also miss his incredible clarity of vision and powerful voice. I'm not religious but I "pray" for his timely return and for his family. His health comes before everything else
Get well soon Matt
❤️❤️❤️
A speedy recovery to Matt and a smooth delivery to Amber. To the rest of the crew I wish the best for you as well. Take care of yourselves.
So much love Matt. im sure you know this but there are so many people who wouldn’t be the same without you. You’ve made the world so much brighter, and im wishing so many happy years of fatherhood for you in the future.
