Alex on ChapoFYM said he's awake and cognizant. About 1h:12m on their latest VOD. Big prayers for our big boy.

Death to America
Stopped listening years back but Matt was always my fave, sucks, I hope he's okay.
Apparently he was talking about feeling a hard pressure on his skull in his last livestream. Hope he makes it through.
I was listening to that vlog yesterday and that part stuck out to me. Feels so eerie and sick to hear this news after that.
I need to go listen to that one, I don't normally listen to his cushvlogs
Definitely listen to the last two. They were meant to be the last streams before going on hiatus to have his kid. They had a sense of finality to them. Now....fuck.
Jesus
The fucked thing is that he said all the tests he had done came back fine. Then this happened. It's like every hypochondriac's worst fear.
fuck this is so sad. He's by far the most influential media person on my life and political thought, and things seemed to be going well for him. I really hope for a speedy recovery but this shit has me down
He has to outlive Kissinger. He deserves to be in that future. Bless up, Cushbomb
Damn, near mortal accident according to Chris at the end, hope that he's good.
folks
wtf Chapo doesn't hate Rod, they think he's delightful and whimsical. He's like a cartoon.
Matt was always my favorite Chapo, I hope he'll be alright. It'd be awful for anything to happen to him, especially for his wife and his kid.
I wouldn't be here (on this website) without Chapo
Sounds like he might have had a stroke. I hope he recovers. He's a good man.
The last thing he said on stream was, "See you on the other side one way or the other (laugh) peace."
What a fuckin guy, dude.
fuck fuck i hope he pulls through ok. just been re-listening to hell on earth lately too.. really seems like he was hitting his stride as a good educator
Hell On Earth on paper is something I should have hated but damn if isn't the best thing I've heard from him
I learned a lot from Matt over the years, I really hope he'll be okay
Also holy shit they got a sincere reply from dril, this large son has made the impossible happen
Fuck, I hope he's gonna be ok.
His cushvlogs over the last few years have been so helpful for me finding some, I don't know, philosophical and spiritual comfort amidst everything. He talked often about how doing them was really for him working through all of his own shit and it seemed recently that he'd gotten to a good place, that he'd found some faith and acceptance and was ready to move into a new stage in his life with the birth of his child. I hope and pray he gets to experience that.
Shit. I know we dunk on the pod, but Matt is truly one of the most useful left thinkers of his time. This sucks, I hope he recovers.
Man I hate hearing about this. Matt really seems like a great dude. His wild passion and animated personality really make me smile. His pandemic twitch streams were a great source of comfort for me. I don't always comment on situations like this online, but I don't actually know anyone in real life who knows who Matt is and I just wanted to throw some love out there for him.
offering my thoughts and prayers in a normal, non-invasive way.
fucked up that Angus King finally cashed in that hit
I am very upset by this. I had high hopes for him as an educator. The dude had a big empathic brain and we already lost Micheal Brooks and I just can't stand the idea of going without that kind of person. We need passion and empathy, condemnaty and forgiveness, just like... a fuckin' kindness going forward and I think Matt was one of those people that understood that. Like the old Che quote. A revolutionary is guided by love. Matt was one of those people who publicly understood that.
Thats horrible. It sounds so serious.
I really hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it isnt a fucking train.
Get well Cush.
You love to see it tbh
did something happen?
Yes, they're not giving out details for privacy reasons but Matt suffered some sort of an emergency. Announcing that for the time he's on leave indefinitely doesn't sound great but I hope he recovers.
I don't want to speculate out of respect but many parts of that announcement make it sound exteemely serious, I feel like throwing up.
Yeah, though also a "normal" emergency gives me hope. Really hoping it's just something like an appendix, etc.
I think it's a "he's not shidding out his doodoo ass" joke because they thought Matt would appreciate it. "Cautiously optimistic" and "promising signs" is the type of languange when you're hoping someone regains consciousness I feel. Either way hoping for the best.
Sounds like Matt is unconscious, with Amber on their announcement saying "awh he would love that" to Chris saying he would release the Spanish Civil War series that him and Matt were working on, as Matt was proud of it. That's not the kind of thing you would say if he was just in pain but able to be spoken to lucidly, and it sounds like the accident happened on Tuesday. Don't think you're normally unconscious/non-lucid for 4 days from an appendix and the associated surgery
Best wishes in a normal noninvasive way to Matt.
Fuck, man. This hits extra hard after listening to his last stream. I hope he pulls through. Wishing all the best for Matt and his family.
Hug yourself and hug everyone around you
Indeed, hope that all will be well.
it's weird how stressed this is makin me i don't want to be this invested in the lives of some charismatic strangers.
Praying for him, Amber, and his daughter. At first I thought Will was doing a bit about him being in the hospital afflicted with the serious medical condition of fatherhood or something, as a way to say they're late because his kid was born and he's going on paternity leave. Worst shit always happens to the best people.
Jesus. I don;t even know what to say. I don't know if I could take it if Matt were to depart this world. Not just me, his friends, his family... Genuine thoughts and prayers.
Through years of listening to him speak I’ve truly come to look forward to hearing his voice twice a week, like a dumb little doggy. I can’t help it, he’s always given me a little bit more hope than I would have otherwise. This Fucking sucks and I hope they get all the help they need and that he makes it through this.
devastating.
sending extremely good vibes to matt and crew, amber r., especially.
I just don't even know what to say except ** get well soon, matt. **
Fuck I hope he's going to be ok, like his wife is due real soon. I hope he gets better and can be with his family.
