769 - Band of Brothers feat. Kath Krueger (10/2/23)
We are back. What a week to take a break, huh? We catch up on Nazi officers in Canadian parliament, Sen. Bob “Goldbar” Menendez, Sen. Dianne “RIP” Feinstein, an assortment of madcap Trump statements, China repossesses its Pandas, and more.
Thank you for bearing with us through all of this. Programming should continue as usual now. Movie Mindset Halloween Edition starts this Wednesday 10/4/23, and we have some more surprise treats coming to the Patreon when that’s wrapped up in November.
If you’d like to join Will & Hesse this October 30th for screenings of The Fog and Halloween III at the Roxy Cinema in NYC, ticket links here:

Matt is my Dad
So good to have you back. Glad Matt is doing better. We love you, Matt! ♥️♥️♥️
Btw Canada's deputy prime minister (the one that's expected to take over after Trudeau leaves) had a grandfather who was a Nazi collaborator. He was the editor of a Nazi newspaper in Ukraine. Something she denied and ignored
Matt’s as good as it gets. Glad to hear that he’s on the mend.
we love you matt 💓💓💓 you are gen z’s lenin, get well soon!!! kath is so funny always love when she’s on
The reference to “Strut” reinforces my thought that you all should do an episode on Seagal’s musical career
Great news all-around about Matt, and glad Chapo is back! A couple of little questions: - Patreon kind of just messed things up with the app, didn’t they? Lots of stuff has vanished. - Isn’t there a Chapo Discord server, or is there a Twitch channel?
glad to hear matt is doing better after stacey abrams did jihad on his bussy
Is there any appetite for another Sorkin episode? Because holy shit, The Early Show is just a baffling attempt to recreate The Newsroom without him. A lot of Apple's series are like that, transparent ripoffs of existing shows made about 20% more sterile to fit Apple's tastes, but TES stands out as just pure, awful, pro forma Sorkin. They just released an episode about the death of RBG, ALL of the characters are still in quarantine for some reason, and Reese Witherspoon plays a character named Bradley.
The thing is, I don't think the first season was bad. It was actually funny, now it's all Soy, lib bullshit. Like you said, recreating the news room. The second season was shit, but 5 minutes into the third you want gouge your own eyes out.
Great episode! So happy Matt is out of the ICU. We will keep praying for him along the way. Again, let us know if you need anything Ex. monetary collection for Matt and his family.
Hilarious 😆
The Waffen SS’s chief role in WWII was doing war crimes on civilians and getting rinsed almost every fucking time they fought against actual trained soldiers. Seriously, these dudes got the best equipment in German, to the extent that the regular army complained about it constantly, and they would immediately get folded against anyone that wasn’t a 17yo with a Molotov cocktail. (Not to say they didn’t occasionally get folded by 17yo with Molotov cocktails anyway)
really easy to be an aryan supersoldier when all your doing is torching Belorussian villages
Blinken sounds like Elvis trying to do a mean-spirited/racist impression of Jimi Hendrix
Also holy shit I had to turn the episode off when it got to Blinken's song.
Sending love to Matt. I unsubscribed thinking I'd wait until things returned to normal but then I felt bad and wrong and resubscribed.
we’re so glad to hear that matt is doing better!! we appreciate an episode but take the time you need of course
Turns out the reason why they didn't fuck is they wash and clean pandas too much and that wash away the smell they need to start the mating cycle
Are they fucking more now that they know that?
I'm extremely glad to hear that Matt's been doing well🙏🙏🙏
Three arrows did a good on was every solder evil in nazi Germany.

Sending good vibes. Thanks for the laughs and some grim news. Great episode!
Hooting and hollering like a PTI off-screen voice when a guest host is named when Katherine Krueger is introduced on the podcast.
Amazingly great news Matt and fam!!
you are experiencing a contrived manifestation of discovery and loss through the illusion of spacetime.
*2023
Glad to hear Matt is doing better, he is my closest parasocial friend
I love that Felix says vestige as if it rhymes with prestige. I identify with anyone who so obviously reads a lot and, therefore, often doesn't know how to pronounce words. Someone told me a useful term for it but fuck if I can remember it.
Banger episode boys and Kath. Truly the funniest material in a long time. Wishing the best for Matt, Amber and their baby as well.
Congrats to the new family, Matt ❤️
Fuck yes boys
Really glad to hear Matt is doing better!!
As somebody with a gaming laptop there is only one reason to buy a gaming laptop, you want to use buisness expenses on a gaming pc.
Will said it best: to all the online trolls, freaks, haters and losers (including the Notorious Roy G Biv Stans) who rejoiced in his medical emergency, Matt is still alive and you and all your heroes stay losing forever. 😘
As a recent passer of the bar exam, the Asus gaming laptop to MacBook Air pipeline was eerily close to my own experience. Also, Tony Blinken should quit whatever his day job is and become an ETA
I’m still in law school and I have both lmao
So glad to hear it
Gaslighting us right off the bat; Will the calendar still says 2023 whatever's actually going on in the sim notwithstanding please abide the norms thanks
love you guys!
Super glad and relieved to hear about Matt! Glad to see you guys haven't lost a step either even with everything going on.
I have a gut feeling that the reason musk wore the cowboy hat backwards was not ignorance. I think he did it intentionally because in his mind he views it the same as a cool guy wearing a baseball hat backwards.
I'm glad to hear Matt is doing better, you guys are a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day thanks for recording such a funny podcast so consistently. Also, the blues you just forced me to listen to in the outro was a war crime. I had forgotten Felix's promise to play it until it started piping into my cars speakers like a toxic gas. Well played folks. Well played.
Enjoyed hearing about “Besties” again
Keep Kath on for all future episodes!
Fuck ya Matt
So glad to pop a top on my fav podcast at the intro and giggle along with the crew!!!
the mask that keeps slipping is that America never had a beef with the Nazis and the fascists. that's why the US built their war machine, furnished them with technology to help them more efficiently wipe out Jewish populations. it's why we cherry-picked our favorites (especially those who had valuable experience fighting Communism) and brought them over here to help us build the CIA as an SS-like shadow government & military apparatus, plus all that rocket stuff. look at the 20th century and pick 20 powerful Americans at random. they're never foaming at the mouth about fascism, mass murder, ethnic cleansing, etc. Communism, on the other hand, probably caused more rage strokes among pig-fucking Yale men and rapacious Hollywood studio chiefs than anything else.
Don't forget that the Brits are equally or even more Russian-hating, going back to the "Great Game" plots to conquer "the Eurasian land mass" in the mid-19th century . . . On Monty Python, John Cleese did a wonderful scene of a Brit. announcer spittle-shouting about the Reds until his wife brings the tea & he's back to normal in a moment.
Check all cigars and ice cream that Matt consumed! The CIA couldn't kill Castro with poison or an exploding sea shell, but ... Seriously... I'm glad to hear that Matt is out of the ICU and I hope he recovers fully... and, I wish the best for his wife and daughter.
nah they're gonna make a Matt Christman porn parody with a badly made up actor with a huge hog, thinking the humiliation will be his downfall, like they tried with Sukarno
every brother is a potential uncle
The Canadian praries had a big migration of Ukranians in the 1800s, they were generally a pretty pro-labour group so we specifically sought out the galicians to fuck that up
so glad to hear matt’s out of the ICU! i hope he can be home with his baby daughter soon. ❤️ it must be hard to balance an (understandable) desire for privacy while still letting people know what’s going on, so thank you for the update, and the new ep! glad youre back 💜
Respectfully, Katherine would bankrupt the DSA by way of reappropriation of funds by the online left.
Y’all forgot to mention that not only was it the UkraineHeads losing their minds, but those that believe Matt is an “Assadist.”
Using that word is the sign for liberal brain disease where they have to put you down
Love you all. Get well soon Matt
Praying for Matt and the haters
Don’t forget The Losers!
Was getting Chapo withdrawals
Really pleased Matt is out the ICU. Much love to him and his family and the boys. And always great to hear Kath
I'm noticing a bit more room on your voices than usual. you might consider putting up more dampening panels. lol glad you guys are okay! <3
We love Kath
Good to hear Christ Man is trending better, without him I wouldn't have anyone to blatantly plagiarize when I try to talk about theory alternatives to capitalism
On the gaming laptop, one possible explanation is that if you didn’t know anything about laptops and were just comparing specs, if you went to get the laptop with the best specs it would be a gaming laptop
Get this guy on the investigative team
I love Matt and i love the fam we on the up ❤️
Much love to all. Also Kath was killing it as usual
<3
Shout-out to Matt Christian for joining the tribe of Gods chosen people. Glad to hear he's doing better, that you all are in good spirits. More glad that Netflix dropped Band of Brothers right when the LibFash Twitter alliance is popping off.
Glad to hear Matt's okay. I love that guy. Cushvlogs changed my life man
Feels good to laugh with you guys again. Cheers to Matt and the fam!
<3 glad to hear the great news, keeping the energy going for good stuff ahead
tag urself i'm the dusty cups of water
So great to hear the good news about Matt and his family.
Sending good vibes to Matt. Get better ya goofus!
Prayers up for The Christman

love to Matt and family 🥰🤗🥰☺️🥰🤗
Much love to Matt ❤️
yaaay Matt!! We love you
Love to the whole Chapo family!
Much love guys
“Sit there and say my hair ain’t luxurious when you Know it is bitch!”
Keep getting better Matt! K*ll all nazis no exceptions, oh wait too late we’re already the fourth reich
Love to Matt, so happy to hear you're doing better
Slop sooooo good
Gang gang
Much love to Matt in the recovery process
🖤
"Russia's War on Everything" is a great book name from the political faction that accused Russia of weaponizing everything they even accused Russia of weaponizing oil against europe AFTER europe banned the import of russian oil but not only did Ukrainians do a lot of heavy lifting on behalf of the Soviets in World War II, but zero fucking Ukrainian simps talk about jewish victims of the 1932 famine. As far as they're concerned, the 1932 famine was both a deliberate targeting of the Ukrainian "race" and only they suffered, despite the fact that famine hit every soviet republic to some degree or another.
The famine in 1932 hit the Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine just as hard as the Ukrainian areas of Ukraine. All of Ukraine was hit less than Kazakstan, but nobody talks about the Kazakh genocide, even though all the other countries are run by little girls
"The haters make me stronger" - Matt C
Very glad to hear Matt is doing better and got to see his daughter. I'll continue to send good vibes his and Amber's way.
It would be so funny if the laptop was a gift from Trump
Happy Matt is recovering
Really, really, really happy to hear Matt's out of the ICU and is cracking jokes. I once wrote him a DM on Twitter in response to a cushvlog, starting with "No Need To Respond." I just really connected with something he said, and needed to write out my thoughts. He responded anyway. An absolute gem of a human being, and it warms my soul to hear how you're all out there supporting him and his family.
Wonderful to hear Matt's recovery is going well, and to hear all of you in good spirits. Cheers.
So happy to hear that Matt is continuing to do better.
Thank you Matt for all the great insights about the history of capitalism that ive learned so much from!
We love you Matt !
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I heard it from a reliable source that Matt is the total package. Feel better Matt
Awesome ep, great news about Matt and Baby Christman. Hospital time and newborn time are nearly impossible individually with a healthy partner, so good on the whole crew. If any sort of higher Patreon tier would help out I’m game for a few months
Greedy old Ka isn't through with you yet, gunslingers.
the reason there are so many Ukrainian Nazis in Canada is because teh Canadian government 'paperclipped' them to Canada to engage in a campaign of terror and intimidation against unions and ultimately co-optation of the Ukrainian canadian community (inluciding the thanksgiving day bombing of Ukrianian Canadian children's rectial in Toronto in 1950) pre-ww2,t the Ukrainian Canadian diaspora was the backbone of the Canadian left-labour movement.
That's really interesting, any books/articles you care to recommend?
Neil Cicierega mentioned!!! :D Also glad to hear Matt is recovering 👍
good day for great news. welcome back! so glad to hear matt is doing better. i’ll be honest……i was pretty upset when i heard the news (parasocial blah blah blah). matt has been instrumental in helping me navigate this fucking shitty world. i look forward to the day he can be back on the mic spittin
So glad for the update on Matt. And Will, you are correct, he's one of the great political thinkers of our time. I've learned more from listening to Matt's YT rants than I did in 4 yrs of political science courses in college. Anyway, still praying for a complete and speedy recovery for him. Sending love to you all. And I love it when Katherine is on the show .
It’s so weird I was literally watching carentan when this posted
Glad to hear Matt is doing better. Wishing you all the best.
yayyy another girl has been added to the chapoverse - wishing matt a recovery full of love and family and a beautiful lil baby
Happy to hear Matt is on the mend!
So nice to hear Matt’s getting better and that the fans aren’t being too weird. I’ll always hold it special when Ill all i could say to Matt after the portland show for thanks for all the laughs and but he still gave me a cool handshake. And always love more Katherine!
Katherine is always a welcome addition to the show. Moveon.org petition to make her a full time cast member.
"Let me tell you about human men ... folks!" She's the best.
I can feel the moments where Matt would cut in and turn a whole conversation. We await the return of the king.
Damn. RIP Diane. The Lake of Shit claims another great one.
Congrats and many happy returns to Matt, one of the only smart people online
Love the effort, but they all riff and orbit around Matt's brilliance, passion & antics (drunk election night reactions remains an epic internet moment for this Grey Wolf!!) and it's a relief to know that mother, baby and my favorite LARGE SON are all doing well !!! Take all the time you need big hommie and improve your diet dude !!!!
Hearing that news helped me trudge into this next month with my head held a bit higher. Thanks guys. Best of wishes of to everybody.
Congrats on being baby
Thanks for not propping Matt up on air like a bad Weekend at Feinstein’s movie.
If it was just a bit less serious AI generated fakeout Matt would have been a great bit.
Damn Matt wasn’t there to correct Felix’s pronunciation of vestige 😢
but Kath nailed both Feinstein and Ramirez
yeah, I'm thinking we're back!
I very well remember the first attempt at BoB: The 6tory, and I'm glad I lived to see the vision
Stay up, Matt!!
so, so happy to hear matt is doing okay and that mom and baby are well ❤️ means a lot to hear - love you all!
Damn. If it was Kanye it could be Yeezy Company
Out of the ICU! LFGGGG babay
Congratulations Matt and Amber on Chapo Baby! Get better, Matt!!!
Matt thanks for loving the sinner in me
Feel better big guy! More and more people are saying this!
Great to hear that the Chapo Baby and mom is well and that Matt is out of the ICU! Love from Sweden
Thank Trump
Thank God.
just another stranger that loves u Cushbomb- my thotz & prayers are with you all, good health to you Matt !!!!!!!!!!
We like our slop, we love our Matt
Good to hear Matt is doing better.
this matt update *matts trump* we love it. I literally sighed.
Godspeed
Matt ❤️
Hospital stays and babies ain’t cheap - get a move on with the tv show, Felix!
great episode and firmly agreed with Will that Matt is one of the true leaders we have, feel better soon
Glad to hear you again guys, sending out positive psychic energy for Matt and Amber
🥰🥰🥰 Chapo Baby! This news of the Christman family all doing well has brought tears to my eyes, despite being the toughest, most stoic operator. 🥹🥰
That rendition of Hoochie-Coochie Man is what Boebert should've saved her public handjob for. (Welcome back fellas)
How about some small town Wisconsin news: last week five pink flamingos took a pit stop at South Beach in Port Washington, having been blown off course by windy weather. Go Pack! Sending ❤️ to Matt and the crew.
This Canadian has been looking forward to this one!
Relieved they encouraged the haters.
1. Glad to hear that Matt is (cautiously!) on the mend! 2. I need Chris to know that at least one person heard and appreciated his Neil Cicierega joke.
Cosigned on both
the universe has heard our pleas and knows that the humble content hog cries out for more crisp mattman. so relieved to hear that he's on the way to recovery and that amber and the littleun are doing well! love you folks, thanks for bein you!
LETS GOOOOOO
🔥 comeback ep
Pity Matt had to spend his birthday in the hospital. (I share it with him, albeit a ten year difference.)
need the chapo baby on the third mic spot for the thursday episode tbh
Matt's Trump impression is with us in spirit. Get well soon!
Just hearing the intro was heartwarming . I wish them all the best!
#CushStrong
Grieving Staffer sounds like the intro area boss in a souls game
judge a man by his enemies great to have you guys back
Thank you very much for the updates and the good news
Last week when I was reading comments from the haters and losers I thought Matt would be cackling like an insane person at them, and I'm glad to hear that he is and that he's on the mend. I hope he saw that Peter Daou sent him some love too, I know that one in particular would have meant a lot.
I saw about an even divide between neoliberals and neonazis on Twitter and it really illustrated how much better Matt is than his detractors. If that's who comes at you then you're doing something right. Also the neolibs need to take a look around an ask themselves why they're solidly in lockstep with the Nazis.
Hope Matt is recovering well. Much love and glad to see you back in action.
#CUSHSTRONG
Great episode as always but bring back the screaming dude with the funny hair (best wishes for Matt)
Will's assessment of Matt at the end is 100% correct
Happy to hear Matt is improving and well enough to enjoy his glorious new Chapo baby as well as his silly ass haters! We hogs will continue to not be weird in comparison
great episode, glad Matt is doing better
Also Katherine is a great fill in for Matt, she's in my top three guests.
"The Blair Witch Project" would be a great movie mindset Halloween pick. Absolutely nails atmosphere and mood.
All the love to Matt and wishing him a continued recovery. Also, Blinken sucks at guitar.
This is a guitar that reflects his diplomacy but it’s too cool for him to play https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwGPWA_g2cq/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=40b65f23-785c-44fb-be81-a86529c88494&ig_mid=0FFF963F-E20B-4F24-A133-9C93E3E97DD7
ASUS ROG Fam don’t be shyy
External RTX4090, hijacked to use complex math to counter the state’s case
ASUS laptop theory sounds incredibly plausible. I wonder if it is a hand-me-down from Baron.
So glad our large boy is doing better. Can't wait to hear him on the pod again.
We love our chapo boys don’t we folks. We love ‘em, we really do. And the beautiful Katherine such a talent, such a talent. I think they’ll be happy for many, many years to come. Maybe together, maybe not. Probably not. But we do love them, folks. We do.
Bless up to the Christman-Rollo family (again), glad to hear they’re doing well.
We are so back
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Out of the ICU let’s fucking GO
I am glad our large nephew is doing okay :,)

Bobcat Goldbar Melendez
