  • Episode 2: Chet Arthur, kicker of butts
    Nov 11 2025

    Betsy and Matt dive into Episode 1 and discover that Chet Arthur is...the muscle of the Conkling operation? We honestly didn't expect to find our man ready to give out beatdowns. Anyway, the show gets off to a flying start and so do we.

  • Episode 3, in which Chet gets more of a story arc than any of us could have anticipated!
    Nov 12 2025

    You want Chet? You got him!

    Episode 2 is chock full of Chet, both with and without historical justification.

    Betsy and Matt talk about just how much Chet there is, and why.

    So much Chet! We watch Episode 3 of the series and are astounded just how much Chet there is. By which we mean "the right amount."

  • Episode 5: Chet Arthur, President of the United States, Good God!
    Nov 17 2025

    The Big Chet Energy continues as the Netflix series wraps up but our thoughts on Chet do not. We talk about all the fun stuff the show does to set up a Chet sequel that most assuredly will happen (it will not happen).

  • Episode 6: The Chet don't stop
    Nov 18 2025

    We've finished the Netflix show but, somehow, not the podcast. Betsy and Matt expand the RBCU (Republican Bearded Cinematic Universe) and pick up where the show leaves off - the Chet Presidency, 19th Century America's most intriguing mystery woman (Julia Sand), and the weird places the Chet progeny go. It's not a finale so stay tuned for our special guest on Episode 7.

  • Episode 7: The one with Scott Greenberger, professional Chetologist
    Nov 20 2025

    Did we get Nick Offerman as a guest? Or did we get someone even more Chetastic?

    Scott Greenberger, author of "The Unexpected President - the Life and Times of Chester A. Arthur" joins us as we discuss the real-life Chet, how the Neflix show made good choices and could've made even better ones, and waxes poetic on getting to know what we know of Julia Sand. Scott does an important ranking that shows he's got more gumption than Matt does.

    This episode concludes the show's first run of Big Chet Energy, but we'll be back as duty calls, and by "duty" we mean "Nick Offerman." Nick, call us.
