UNLOCKED: 1056 - Prophets Unveiled feat. Devin Thomas O’Shea (7/23/26)

Journalist and YouTuber Jordan Shanks-Markovina aka friendlyjordies joins us for an Australian news ep, comparing the MAGA movement of the United States with the right-wing nativism of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation. We talk about Australia’s world of mobsters and bikers, one deputy PM’s war on Koalas, and how Jordies’ videos lead to several criminal prosecutions and his house being firebombed.

We get to some news that we didn’t get to on Thursday, such as Iran_Ceasefire_FINAL_FINAL.pdf, right-wing influencers pivoting to OnlyFans, and the cold case of Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping. We also respond to some listener suggestions about how to deal with a vulture problem before a lightning round of dystopian stories about AI and dating.

NOW UNLOCKED! Devin Thomas O’Shea returns to discuss his book on St. Louis’ notorious Veiled Prophet society. We look at St. Louis history as a microcosm of America, the interwoven history of labor & racial suppression, Parade Politics, the public mystification of white supremacy, and how modern secret societies forget to have a little fun with it.

Jake & Thomas join us to explore some recent Rogan Lore, look at the eschatological facets of Ted Lasso, and contemplate the interiority of some of our acquaintences. Then, our various failures in Iran, our Troops on T, and our bumbling military in general.

DIVA DOWN! We pay our respects to Lindsay Graham, a man who died doing what he loved. We then tour some recent geopolitical conflicts, with the Ukraine war in a continuing stalemate despite recent drone innovations and the Iran War back in full swing. We also talk about a few fun cultural topics, such as Connor McGregor’s loss, Boosie Badazz allegedly trying to bribe Jacob Wohl, and the continuing story of Kash Patel. CHUNKS IS COMING!

This week on Chapo, we finally beat the news curse to talk about Graham Platner’s latest and likely career-ending scandal…only to fall victim to it by talking about the Trump-FIFA red card reversal that absolutely did not matter at all. Our friend Tim (@garliccorgi) of the ALAB podcast is here to talk about this all, plus a roundup of the Supreme Court’s recent stripping of the copper wire out of everything, the narrow survival of the 14th amendment, and any potential options a future administration might have to reverse this.

Josh Ettingermentum is back to recap Zohran’s hostile takeover of the New York Democratic Party, with his three endorsed candidates cruising to victory. We talk about this new wave of left insurgency throughout the country, what it means for the sclerotic Democratic establishment and the stillborn Abundance movement, and what we make of Zohran’s time in office overall. Plus: John Fetterman fires shots at Chapo and Hasan. Find the Ettingermentum newsletter here: https://www.ettingermentum.news/ Get CHUNKS here: https://www.patreon.com/chunkstv

Chapo tech correspondent and AI skeptic Ed Zitron is back to mourn Our Keir, a good man struck down in his prime. What will the future hold for the UK, and are the writers foreshadowing 2029 in America? We then turn to the world of AI, where more and more companies are struggling to find an ROI on AI and OpenAI is burning unfathomable amounts of money. Plus: Elon Musk’s trillionaire status, the government banning AI models, and the cross-partisan desire to turn the clock back to 2014.
