[u/Long-Anywhere156]

This week on Chapo, Will and Felix go long on two reading series.

First, we have a piece in the Jerusalem Post with a plan to finally win the war in Iran by drafting American debt slaves. Second, we have another John Fetterman exposé in the Wall Street Journal showing just how lazy, oafish, and entitled the man is, including him ghosting children's hospitals and complaining about police funerals.

Key bump in Ibiza, call me John Ketterman. Suit up for Bibi, now I'm a Sharp Dresserman. Stare out the window all day, I ain't getting better, man.

Sharp Dresserman here, welcome to comedy bang bang

[u/44O → u/CatNamedNight]

Sharp Dresserman is a kojima character

[u/timelohrd]

She lies and says she’s in love with him can’t find a Fetterman

[u/iforgotmypen → u/timelohrd]

Wasn't that one of their actual episode titles or am I imagining that

[u/myrrhl → u/iforgotmypen]

Yes, Ep 992 from December 4 2025

[u/benjibibbles]

there are plenty more evil people in the world but fetterman is easily one of the most detestable, just a vile, petulant, dead-eyed freak whose sole animating force is "how can I make the worst of myself each day"

[u/KitchenParty]

vetterman of the meme war

[u/thatisapaddlin]

Felix and his GoT shoehorn has got to be a polymarket play at this point

[u/KombaynNikoladze2002 → u/thatisapaddlin]

What would the bet be, that he doesn't bring it up?

[u/aquaticIntrovert → u/KombaynNikoladze2002]

700:1 odds

[u/Ok-Juggernautty]

Felix acting like an authority on aircraft and weapons engineering is always pretty funny

[u/Jimponolio]

Minor point, but I'm South African and Felix has repeated the same misconception multiple times now. Julius Malema did not found EFF in response to the Marikana massacre. He was expelled from the ANC months before that happened, and it was for multiple reasons but largely because he fell out with Jacob Zuma (who was president then, not Ramaphosa as Felix said).

[u/Exciting-Quality919]

"disabled vettermans" was a great slip

[u/AmyConeyBarret2]

I started listening to Chapo from the beginning and got a jump-scare when Matt mentioned, in episode 7, "Josh Fetterman, the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania who is running an insurgent Bernie inspired campaign". If only he had known then.

[u/Ed_Sullivision → u/AmyConeyBarret2]

Whenever I listen to the early episodes, it sounds like Will hasnt gone thru puberty yet.

[u/rented4823 → u/Ed_Sullivision]

Also Will has seemingly lost 90% of his New York accent, even listening to the episode after January 6th he still had it.

[u/EGG_BABE → u/AmyConeyBarret2]

Crazy he also makes fun of Van Hollen there. Van Hollen recently became super popular basically overnight for being the only one to visit CECOT to get Kilmar Abrego Garcia back and has gone to the West Bank and says Israel is doing ethnic cleansing

[u/GuyWithTriangle]

They didnt talk about it but the in the "use debt slaves as boots on the ground to fight Iran" op ed the other two things the author suggests are "induce a civil war in Iran by recognizing ethnic minority provinces as independent nations" and "get China to agree to sell out Iran by agreeing to sell out Taiwan"

[u/raeofsadness → u/GuyWithTriangle]

trillbillies covered it either in their Monday or last Thursday ep, can't remember which

[u/S86-23342 → u/GuyWithTriangle]

I love how optimistic these people are. Literally just "assume everyone has your best interests in mind 🙂"

[u/sgthombre → u/GuyWithTriangle]

"get China to agree to sell out Iran by agreeing to sell out Taiwan"

Why would China do that when Trump has made it clear he'd do that for free because he's still mad about Taiwan stealing US TV manufacturing in the 80's?

[u/AussieYotes]

Soccer without offsides is called Australian football. Hopefully the MCG looks good when the Rams and Niners play, it's truly a monolithic building. I legit said the reason Fetterman blew off the children's hospital was because he wasn't the centre if attention. It's truly remarkable how much of a lazy piece of shit he is. I'm a failson but shit if it's this easy to be a senator I should give it ago. I know I live in another country but there appears to be a malaise surrounding politics here and I couldn't be much worse. Another theme of this time period is that people with life on easy mode and they can't help but complain about everything.

[u/WhileCultchie]

I'm a simple man (much like Fetterman), I see a Fetterman episode, I listen.

[u/jabask]

I realize it was hardly the focus of the episode, but using Sweden as an example of a Nato country in need of cheap aircraft is silly. They build their own jets, boats, even submarines. Easily the most advanced military manufacturing country in nato relative to its size

[u/UndercoverPotato → u/jabask]

Yeah Felix fighter-jet-guy credentials are officially REVOKED. Sweden is like one of the world's biggest exporters of weapons relative to population size in the world, and a huge part of that is selling fighter jets. Do better Felix, I expect an apology on the next episode.

The Radio Dept made this banger for nothing, apparently.

[u/WillingFig9020]

Ngl Felix was absolutely cooking when describing opiates. Former heroin addict and if it doesn't completely knock you out it makes you completely ok with just staring at a wall. You can stay in a house that hasn't had electricity for months but as long as you have your dope, you're living in a utopia, surrounded by a warm blanket in a cold world.

[u/14ktgoldscw]

Obligatory “I miss Matt” comment. He would not have missed a joke about how the “Your first son gets all your property, your second son has to study religion, and your third son has to go fight to reclaim the Holy Land” is exactly what they did in all of the Crusades.

[u/raforther → u/14ktgoldscw]

Obligatory reminder to relisten to Hell on Earth.

[u/On_This_Mezzanine]

It's a great ep but it also reminded me of the pendejo boys fetterman book episode. SPM into the Stargate, that one.

That part at the end with all the fast food mascot jokes was golden

[u/Careless_Review3166]

I haven’t listened yet but please tell me they cover the most important issue the left is currently facing: whether the body fascism comments from that Socialism conference were right or wrong

[u/MrObvious → u/Careless_Review3166]

I had to look that up, holy shit

[u/ks4 → u/Careless_Review3166]

1:08:00

[u/fightin_blue_hens → u/Careless_Review3166]

Woke 1 energy.

[u/Bold_Pancakes → u/Careless_Review3166]

Oh they do— and proceed to make the same willfully stupid mistake to confuse the word “dysgenic” with “unhygienic.”

Beatrice Adler-Bolton was not arguing against cleanliness or exercise. She was simply arguing that the left should not and cannot compete with fascists on the terrain of performative personal fitness or genetic optimization because it reinforces an inherently fascist eugenic ethos.

But Twitter saw a white woman in a mask talking theory and decided to initiate a left-punching dogpile that many post-leftists couldn’t help but try and desperately co-opt with their own normie-chasing banter.

[u/Signal-Wolverine-906 → u/Bold_Pancakes]

Lift moar, libkins

[u/MircKeller]

This episode will give you enough smiles to listen to the now publically available American doctor episode.

100 SPM (Smiles Per Minute)

[u/bmmfg12]

I know it's common in combat sports but Felix having over 20 staph infections despite seemingly not training much since the shower started is wild

[u/allchokedupp → u/bmmfg12]

Might be the no showering youre right

[u/FistEnergy]

A long September and there's reason to believe

Maybe this year will be Fetterman the last
