Hell of Presidents: Episode 2 - The Era of Bad Vibes

Being a fan of Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin series, this is the only era I give a shit about

Relistening to hear Matt

This year I read the Aubrey/Maturin series (which I definitely recommend, especially if you like Peter Weir's movie adaptation!) and I was really glad I had listened to this ep of Hell of Presidents in particular for a recap of what the deal was with the war of 1812. There's a section in the seventh book where Jack and Stephen are prisoners of war in Boston that deals with domestic attitudes towards the war, particularly the fact the only thing Americans at that time hated more than the British navy was Irish people, lmao.

My mind was blown when I heard that the one and only Nick Diamonds of The Unicorns does the theme music. Good job everyone.

Shania Twain, technically Canadian, having the last word on 1812.

... and then Russian premieres!

The Children of Jack Acid

You know they fought the War of 1812 because the British Navy was impressing semen!

The Children of Jack Acid

Congratulations, Matt and Chris. You've impressed my semen.

I’m not getting these HoP episodes in my RSS feed from Patreon. I use Overcast, but even the preview feed generated by Patreon and Acast don’t show the HoP episodes. Thanks for posting these, can’t wait to listen!

Yea the whole series was recorded a couple years ago

Greg

Amazing stuff. Y'all cover SO much territory so quickly, though, I really need to read these as essays (Hell on Earth, too). Can we get transcripts of these episodes?

Scott Brown

Are there more episodes of this recorded already?

David Yake

Excellent series. We need a breakdown of Canadian PMs like this.

JR

Big fan of this series!

Alec

Wait for the rest of it man, Hell of Presidents is so so fucking good. I've listened probably 5 times all the way through. Matt is a rare, rare talent and intellect. Truly generational mind, no doubt about it.

Anyone know the song interlude at minute 33. I know I’ve heard it

Simon Rosenberg

It was recorded/released two years ago.

David

God, it's such a great series. Listening to this after hell on earth is such a jam

king_von_diesel

Perhaps this was recorded before his stint in the hospital but I miss Matt and I’m happy to hear his voice. Get well, King. We’ll be here when you’re ready.

Jon Erickson

I love this series so much I'm so happy to hear it again

Olivia Kali

its good to hear a boisterous american laugh!

mersham has some bad news

Thank you guys for finally uploading this! I’ve been doing my CHAPO catch up listen and was looking for this Without Stitcher, thanks guys! (Chris, I assume! Will will never be doing this, and Felix can’t even keep himself organized enough. Not to mention, Mat has enough on his plate with the new child and everything else! Thanks again Chris, your presence on Chapo is a much needed light and I didn’t think anyone could replace Brendan let alone make a presence of their own that was greater than his but you really have done it. Keep up the great work and here’s to 1000 more episodes to the Chapo expanded universe!!!!

Kevin

Came here to say this.

Mark

Good to hear Matt’s voice 🥹

Biannual Beats

I'm experiencing the same thing, buddy

Ezra

Hell yeah

Jack Allen

Manifesting Matt’s return (boy, I hate to be *that guy*, and this is definitely not the place to field my particular concern, but I use the Pocketcast app(TM) to stream podcasts that I’m not a Patreon subscriber to and something must be wrong with the podcast upload for ‘hell of presidents’ itself because I have been wanting to listen to hell of presidents for months but it doesn’t load ever and I’m so grateful you’ve taken the time to upload an episode to Patreon because I really enjoy it) and it feels like it’s working, love to you all

Daryl Dingman

Hell yes

Mark

yup, going to post them in order over the next several weeks on wednesdays like our regular mini series.

Chapo Trap House
