    They mentioned Glenn being "healed" by a quack chiropractor basically spinning him around in a centrifuge. Then, at 26:55 Matt drops his "he committs like Bedlam Asylum" joke that the boys hated, but it was actually a GREAT joke. Besides the wordplay/simile, one of Bedlam Asylum's more infamous "treatments" was "rotation therapy", wherein the patient was subjected to violently fast and long spins, usually until the patient vomited. As always, Christman is the underappreciated genius AND jokester of the Chapo boys.
    Im so glad to see him back online, re- learning posting lol. Here's to his returning, and lasting health. ♥️♥️ Coarse as he can be (or perhaps partially BECAUSE of his coarseness), he is without question one of the smartest historians & political theorists of our age.
    Prayin/Vibin/Hoping for all the best for our special boy.

    I actually saw The Christmas Sweater in a theater when it was out.
    We saw the kind of people who were there and it was literally the first crack in the façade for us.
    None of us are conservatives now; a lot has happened since that time - but I remember the beginning of the end being framed by Glenn's histrionics and the realization that "oh fuck, we're the marks...."

    before hearing this segment originally, I had initially only remembered Glenn Beck briefly, as he was sort of at his height on Fox and in the cultural zeitgeist, and in learning more about him as a figure, like holy smokes I cannot express how much I love the political analysis that identifies Glenn Beck as the like, strange & traumatized Freikorps weirdo who would go on to be the Ur-MAGA intellectual & performance motivation. such a truly fascinating figure.

      the Christman thesis is that american protestantism, in its practice, is the belief that to have success in america is to become, in and of yourself, God. beyond all judgement, save your own, and capable of doing whatever you want to the creatures beneath you. mormonism's idea of "there's a finite number of spots for super-heaven, and in those spots you yourself get to be god" just takes the practice and makes it the explicit canon text.
