| Hello everyone, Poker and Politics here, and man, it is good to be on Team Deep State today. | |
| Boom. | |
| Oh, we hit them good today, didn't we? | |
| Joe M., suspended. | |
| His wife pissing and moaning all over Twitter. | |
| All these people retweeting her about how, oh, fire at will is just a phrase. | |
| It's an expression. | |
| He didn't really mean it. | |
| Did he mean it all the times he was talking about people's toes dangling in the damp Cuban twilight? | |
| Did he talk all the times he talked about hanging people and executing people and just how desperately he wanted to kill all of his enemies? | |
| Did he mean all those things? | |
| Did he mean it every single time he wanted to talk about how much he wanted to fucking murder someone? | |
| Because it's all he ever did. | |
| It's all he ever did. | |
| He just wanted to kill people. | |
| The guy was a bloodthirsty psychopath. | |
| And yeah, if he gets caught on a quote-unquote turn of phrase or an expression, tough shit. | |
| He shouldn't be on Twitter. | |
| He's terrible. | |
| He's a propagandist, and he's unbelievably violent. | |
| I mean, he's just the worst of the worst, and I'm glad he's off Twitter, and it was awesome. | |
| It was awesome that this happened. | |
| If they give him back his account, I'll be really upset. | |
| Well, actually, probably not, because I'll keep dunking on him, because he's also just dumb as a brick. | |
| So... | |
| On top of Joe M getting suspended, which, again, chef's kiss. | |
| That's the best. | |
| It's just awesome. | |
| We had all of QAnon just get destroyed by Q today. | |
| Q just absolutely lost his mind. | |
| This was the worst series of Q drops that have ever come out. | |
| And that's saying something, because when Q couldn't figure out that the California Republican Party was running a closed primary for president, and he thought it was some giant conspiracy against Trump and the Republicans, that was absolutely pathetic. | |
| But Q has topped himself, and he did it twice. | |
| Twice in a single day, and I saw some guy pissing and moaning, and one of my supporters was fighting back with this guy. | |
| But Q, today in a Q-Drop, Q-Drop 3911, said that the Deep State will do anything to regain power. | |
| So what? | |
| Who cares? | |
| Just arrest all of them. | |
| Just throw them in jail. | |
| Just get this over with. | |
| Just win. | |
| Just win. | |
| And stop them from regaining power. | |
| This would be like reading the Bible and there being a passage in the Bible where God said, Satan will do anything to regain power. | |
| And it's like, well, you're God. | |
| You can just wink Satan out of existence with a thought. | |
| It doesn't matter what Satan wants to do or what he's trying to do. | |
| He's just going to lose because he's inferior to you. | |
| You're God. | |
| You're the winner. | |
| And that's what the QAnon mythos has been. | |
| Ever since Q started. | |
| Patriots in control. | |
| We have it all. | |
| They, the patriots, the good guys, they are the ones in power. | |
| Hillary tried to cut a deal with us today. | |
| We said no. | |
| Allison Mack is naming names, even though we don't cut deals and we don't, but she's still just confessing for whatever reason. | |
| Everyone is either intimidated, whimpering, or just confessing to all their crimes and hoping for a life sentence instead of execution at Guantanamo Bay. | |
| That's just the nature of QAnon. | |
| Q waved his dick around at George H.W. | |
| Bush's funeral and left an envelope in everyone's funeral program saying, oh yeah, by the way, you guys are all gonna go to Gitmo and you're gonna hang. | |
| Q punks everyone. | |
| He's the roughest, toughest, baddest SOB in all the land. | |
| And that's what It's the whole reason why people follow this shtick and get all kinds of hot and bothered over Q. And they're just like, oh, he's going to do it. | |
| He's going to dunk on the deep state. | |
| Oh, the arrests are coming. | |
| It's going to be so great. | |
| Oh, we're totally going to win. | |
| And it's just this very childish, very ridiculous attitude that he is in power, that he rules. | |
| That the Deep State is not only afraid of him, but acknowledging that they have already lost. | |
| They can't win. | |
| Hillary Clinton tried to cut a deal with him a month after QAnon came online. | |
| That's how powerful he is. | |
| That's how devastating Q is. | |
| He was in total control at all times throughout all of this, and now over two and a half years later, Suddenly, Hugh's like, well, guys, we better watch out, because, oh, man, the Deep State's coming for us. | |
| Oh, they're going to throw the kitchen sink at us to win this one. | |
| And that's just ridiculous. | |
| It flies in the face of everything he's set up in this very moment. | |
| It's completely contrary. | |
| It's absurd. | |
| It's just totally absurd. | |
| So, I mean, That was bad. | |
| And the hydrochlorine, I can never say the word right, but him pushing for Trump's miracle drug was so bad. | |
| It was so... | |
| Terrible that he's doing this, that he's actually going to go out there and put his terrible credibility for his sick cult on the line and say, Hey guys, you should try this miracle drug. | |
| It'll totally cure COVID-19. | |
| This will get rid of that coronavirus. | |
| Lickety split. | |
| Oh my God. | |
| That was just terrible. | |
| It was absolutely shameless that he did that and I really didn't think that Jim Watkins would go down that dark road and pull that shit but he did and it really made me angry that he did that. | |
| That was such an awful thing to do and such a terrible thing to Say, to manipulate people into using a drug that is unsafe and unproven to handle this illness. | |
| It's not a magic bullet. | |
| It's not a panacea. | |
| It won't fix this problem. | |
| It can potentially exacerbate it and make it worse. | |
| So all of that. | |
| So Q was just making himself look like a fool most of the day. | |
| And then, then he just just destroyed any credibility he had left. | |
| If anyone is following this movement after today, all you have to do is show them the unbelievably stupid tweet or QDROP that he posted today. | |
| QDROP 3917, or as I call it, the death of Q, is the most ridiculous QDROP that's ever been made. | |
| He had, because he, first of all, the message is out of order insert important, which is a reference to a deleted Q drop about walnut sauce, which was Q's only reference to adrenochrome and all the canonical QAnon works. | |
| Q posted a... QDropper talked about walnut sauce and then he had it deleted and expunged from the archives and said that it was quote-unquote out of order. | |
| So now at this late hour Q's gonna actually become an adrenochrome truther? | |
| That's awesome. | |
| That's just crazy awesome. | |
| That we're going to actually get the boss on the record as being someone who thinks adrenochrome is a real thing that you can actually get high off of or be made immortal by. | |
| It's so ridiculous. | |
| So absolutely ridiculous. | |
| So, we have that. | |
| But then, this Q-drop just gets so much better. | |
| Because he calls out someone and they have a tweet of What are these really gruesome looking things? | |
| The first thing that's gruesome is flayed bodies hanging upside down in what looks like a meat locker. | |
| The second thing is a flayed body that appears to be roasting on a spit. | |
| And the third thing is a photograph of bloody handprints on a window. | |
| And there's more bodies, human bodies, dangling from meat hooks in what appears to be a warehouse. | |
| And there's a caption, Spring Meat Sale ends April 15th, only four days left. | |
| Human Farming Project. | |
| This is from the Human Farming Project on Facebook, which is so obviously satirical | |
| and so obviously ridiculous and cartoonish that you would have to be a moron to think | |
| it's real. | |
| And of course QAnon is a bunch of fucking morons so they think it's real. | |
| The photo of the guy with the body on a slab and the bodies all on the meat hooks around him and the blood on the window, that's from Resident Evil. | |
| That is a Resident Evil promotional poster. | |
| The human being on a spit that's all charred up and cooked is a prop. | |
| You can buy it online for $1,200. | |
| And the four human beings hanging from the meat hooks Again, from the Human Farming Project Facebook page, which, again, is a parody, and anyone who had any fucking idea what's going on in this world would know this, and isn't just trying to create fear porn and just scare people with dumb horse shit. | |
| This is a prop. | |
| These are props from the Predator movie. | |
| And you can, again, a quick Google search can find all of this information. | |
| This is really just the dumbest, laziest shit. | |
| Q is freaking people out over dumb, not even really gory images that if you just look around on the internet for five seconds, if you do, as QAnon suggests, we always do, and do your own research, you will find out that none of this is real. | |
| It is all fake. | |
| There's nothing to it. | |
| It is the dumbest crap. | |
| So Q freaks out all of his massive audience with this dumb photo, this dumb tweet that has these dumb photos in it. | |
| And on top of that, he then adds a link to the Cannibal Club org slash index. | |
| And if you go to the Camel Club website, it is the shittiest looking website you will ever see. | |
| It is obviously incredibly old and it looks like it was made on geosites. | |
| It is like this ancient artifact of a bygone era. | |
| This would not look out of place if you went from this site to youthemannowdog.com and watched the wacky videos that existed there back in the day. | |
| This is a really old site. | |
| It's been around for forever. | |
| I remember it being a source of controversy and confusion ages ago. | |
| But he actually takes you through to the Cannibal Club. | |
| CannibalClub.org. | |
| And it's fake. | |
| Everything on this site is fake. | |
| The easiest and most obvious way you can figure out that this is fake is when you click on the Our Staff When you click on the Irish Staff link, I should say, and you get to that page, the proprietor, the owner of the place, Elizabeth Blake, is a stock photo. | |
| Hero Connors, the art director, is a stock photo. | |
| And Raven Chan, the service manager, is a stock photo. | |
| And the chef, Sophie Lafitte, is not a stock photo, but you can find her photo online if you look around for it. | |
| It comes up in TinEye searches and Google reverse image searches. | |
| It's not a photo that was taken exclusively for this site. | |
| It is a photo that is public domain. | |
| The whole Cannibal Club is obviously fake. | |
| There's no address for the site. | |
| You can't find it. | |
| It's not a real thing. | |
| It's just this dumb troll site that was made to offend idiots. | |
| And because Q's a moron, he linked to this site thinking it was something real or thinking that it was anything other than a joke. | |
| And how can you follow this guy anymore? | |
| How can you actually respect yourself and say, oh yeah, I support QAnon. | |
| Hashtag where we go one, we go all. | |
| All that kind of crap. | |
| What are you doing to yourself as a person if you Don't have the self-esteem needed to look at this shit and go, you know what? | |
| I'm out. | |
| I'm just done. | |
| Like, I can't do this to myself anymore. | |
| I can't keep pretending that this is real. | |
| That the shit Q's trying to push here has any basis in reality when it's obviously not. | |
| It's obviously fake. | |
| This is the LARPiest LARP that has ever existed. | |
| And let me tell you, QAnon as a whole so aggressively disgraced themselves with this shit today. | |
| That you should just point and laugh at all of them. | |
| Just point and laugh at all of them. | |
| Just assume that they lost their minds over this Cannibal Club link. | |
| Just assume it. | |
| And if they, by chance, either deleted their tweets out of shame or they didn't make them, then they are the exception. | |
| Because all these clowns did this. | |
| Incarnated ET was pissing and moaning about the Human Farming Project and he said, this is disgusting, I hope people are ready. | |
| I've been at this for a while and I'm not ready. | |
| He just he's so offended by the Human Farming Project. | |
| He just can't get that it's a parody and that it's a joke. | |
| And there's a Human Farming Project jokingly talked about making some vegan labeled for their human burgers and he's again still really offended by it. | |
| The Kate Awakening declares, I think you might have just let us know the time for a gentle wake-up has passed and And of course all of her replies are screaming and yelling about spirit cooking and how terribly evil it is. | |
| And this is just the tip of the iceberg for these idiots. | |
| In the Matrix, he retweets it and he's all offended. | |
| He's deeply, deeply upset. | |
| These people are sick. | |
| He's reading from the actual website. | |
| He's reading from the Cannibal Club website. | |
| And then, because he's a colossal buffoon, Matrix says, Oh, Snoop says it isn't real! | |
| And it's like, did you read the Did you read Snoop's article? | |
| Did you see how fake the staff pithing was? | |
| I mean, it's ridiculous. | |
| So he's got an article about, one second. | |
| Oh yeah, I'm back, I have that little jump cut. | |
| Bye. | |
| Because again, Matrix is such a goddamn liar. | |
| I had to see what he was lying about. | |
| What he was lying about was the fact that he was like, Oh, look at this. | |
| Here's an article that proves there's a cannibal. | |
| Restaurant! | |
| And you click on the article because again he doesn't want you to actually click through and read the goddamn article because that would ruin his fun. | |
| The article is in Nigeria and it was in 2014 when this happened. | |
| So not so much Los Angeles, not so much right this moment. | |
| But again, never let the facts get in the way of the story. | |
| Just throw shit at a wall. | |
| Just say, oh, Snoop says it's fake. | |
| Well, I got this article that says cannibalism in a restaurant, so I'm right. | |
| No, no you're not. | |
| And you know you're not! | |
| That's what makes these people so ridiculously evil, is that they're fucking lying, and they know they're lying! | |
| I mean, Matrix puts this on his Twitter feed because he knows people will not click through. | |
| He knows they'll just look at the headline that says cannibalism in a restaurant. | |
| Phones are seized. | |
| And they'll just take it. | |
| That's it. | |
| That's all you need to see. | |
| And it's confirmed. | |
| It's true. | |
| Because Matrix would never lie to you. | |
| Matrix is a stand-up guy. | |
| He's a good egg. | |
| Uh, yeah. | |
| So, guess what, Matrix? | |
| You were lying. | |
| You were wrong. | |
| There's no Cannibal Club. | |
| It's fake. | |
| Snoops is right. | |
| Snopes is right, however you say the name. | |
| Like, it's stock photos, you idiot. | |
| They're stock photos. | |
| God, so ridiculous. | |
| CJ Truth. | |
| Who decided that apparently Kerry called out for the overdramatic, stupid, overreaction to this story, so he got dibs on being the guy that would throw himself on the fainting couch and pretend like this is the worst thing that has ever happened. | |
| I want those to follow me to be very careful on opening this or sharing with family, relatives, friends, or co-workers. | |
| This is almost too much for me and I've been exposed to this for a while. | |
| Continue to pray. | |
| Good overcomes evil. | |
| And then he links to the Q-Drop. | |
| And it's just so ridiculous. | |
| You're acting this way about a fake website and a bunch of fake props for movies. | |
| This is what has you just apoplectic. | |
| Just totally, totally scared shitless. | |
| I can't handle it! | |
| I can't handle some props on a movie set! | |
| Oh no! | |
| Oh God! | |
| These are the hardened warriors. | |
| These are the people that tell us the truth that send 99% of people to a hospital. | |
| And they're freaking themselves out about a fake Facebook group, or I should say a parody Facebook group, and a bunch of props and a website that's so obviously fraudulent that a five-year-old would know that it wasn't real. | |
| Mark Taylor, the firefighter prophet, says, uh, the days of gently red-pilling people are over. | |
| The disclosure of all evil, uh, that has been happening has begun. | |
| I have said many times, if you don't have a stomach for justice, then you better get one quick. | |
| This is why we fight, all capital letters. | |
| This is why justice will be served to them. | |
| Kill box on them. | |
| And then there's a guy called In The Prophetic is the guy who he quote tweets reading the Q-Drop and they say, how can this be legal? | |
| Pure evil! | |
| And then they go through the rest of it. | |
| So yeah, him. | |
| Julian's rum. | |
| You're obviously a dumb prick. | |
| The performance artist, Marina Abramovich, she loves QAnon. | |
| God, they've made her so much more popular than she really is. | |
| No one would know who she was if it wasn't for QAnon. | |
| Remembers the first time she saw a piece by Miss Gossis. | |
| She was covered in blood, the audience became her, and the beasts together. | |
| Cannibal Club event page. The Cannibal Club event page is again all fake. | |
| You're a child. | |
| You're a dumb, angry child. | |
| You're either lying to your followers or you yourself are too stupid to know this is fake. | |
| So which one are you, Julian? | |
| Are you lying or stupid? | |
| Just let me know. | |
| I'll take either answer. | |
| It's fine. | |
| The only person who hasn't just absolutely covered themselves in shit and thrown themselves in the ground about this is Praying Medic. | |
| who is in the midst of one of his one million tweet-long threads and he's up to the his thread gets up to the Q-drop where they have the picture of the Bible and the world it's three Q-drops before this it's three three nine one four And he hasn't gotten to 3-9-1-7 yet, and I wonder if he ever will, because praying medic's a kind of, like, really, uh, like, scaredy cat. | |
| He doesn't like going out on a limb this way, so I can totally see medic just not doing this. | |
| He can just look at this and be like, you know what, uh... | |
| I'm going to call it a day. | |
| I'm just going to let Q ride this one out by himself. | |
| That's probably the right call. | |
| Because he has done a bunch of tweets. | |
| His standard just news tweets, because he doesn't actually ever really write any opinion pieces. | |
| He just says, here's the news. | |
| Here's my friends' live streams and my friends' podcasts. | |
| Here's my podcast. | |
| Here's my live stream. | |
| And here's some retweets. | |
| And that's about all he does. | |
| He's, I mean, he's just, he's on autopilot. | |
| Really. | |
| Lisa Mae Crowley retweeted MajorDad. | |
| And MajorDad was like, and just like that, millions of people are Googling spirit cooking in the Cannibal Club. | |
| And they'll start to put together what's going on with what's going on. | |
| They expect the Mockingbird Media to lose their minds. | |
| And again, yeah, they're going to do the same Google search as I did. | |
| And they're going to see the Cannibal Club is fake and obviously fake. | |
| And they're going to see the bodies on the spirit cooking tweet are props from movie sets. | |
| Or if you want, like one of them, the human roasted on a spit is like a weird thing you can get off Etsy. | |
| And so, the people are going to look at this shit and they're going to be like, what are you, what are you complaining about, you weird fraud major dad? | |
| What's the big problem? | |
| What's the issue? | |
| What's going on, man? | |
| Talk to me. | |
| Tell me what hurts. | |
| Tell me why I should be concerned about this, Major Dad. | |
| What's the issue? | |
| And then, hilariously, once it's revealed that... Once Matrix finds out that he's wrong, he gets all pissy with Mike Rothschild. | |
| And he's like, oh, like, I don't know what's worse. | |
| He actually says, I don't know what's worse, sticking up for demonic behavior or knowing where to buy a foam replica. | |
| And it's like, no, Mike Rothschild's just telling you that the demonic behavior isn't actually happening. | |
| The foam replicas are all this was. | |
| It was a goddamn prop on a movie set, you moron. | |
| I mean, just absolutely ridiculous. | |
| I mean, all these people, all of them should be ashamed of themselves. | |
| And it's terrible, because they won't be. | |
| Because they don't have shame. | |
| They're physically incapable of having shame. | |
| Which is, sadly, a really great thing to have in today's day and age. | |
| Just being a shameless asshole is a great way to grow an audience. | |
| It's a great way to monetize yourself. | |
| It's a great way to become a public figure. | |
| Just absolutely, totally lie to people constantly. | |
| Lie to them endlessly, but make sure they're the lies they want to hear. | |
| And if you do that, you can be successful at life. | |
| You can get somewhere. | |
| And I mean, it's really, it's terrible to know that's the truth, but it is. | |
| So, I mean, this is it. | |
| This is, none of these people, if any of them ever say anything, | |
| if Julian ever says anything, if Matrix says anything, if Lisa Crowley or Major Dan say anything, | |
| if Incarnate says anything, if any of these pricks try to talk about this, that, and the other thing, | |
| or think of the children, or I'm a tough person who can handle anything, just tell them, | |
| you pissed your pants over some goddamned movie props in a fake restaurant that people have known | |
| is fake for a decade. | |
| And yes, I know that you hate that Snopes said it was fake, but can you look at the article that Snopes wrote? | |
| Can you see the stock photos? | |
| I mean, I did. | |
| And then I went the extra mile and I searched for the stock photos myself personally and found them. | |
| I verified what Snopes said, which I really didn't have to because I trusted them, but I wanted to go that extra mile. | |
| I wanted to do my own research. | |
| I wanted to be like you guys. | |
| I wanted to form my own opinion, which is that you're idiots. | |
| So, yeah, so today was awesome. | |
| I mean, Joe M suspended, Q completely destroying his credibility and making all of his followers look like idiots. | |
| Again, if you're just a small-timer who's looking for something cathartic, you're looking for some kind of reason for why the world is the way it is, don't listen to these grifters. | |
| Don't listen to them. | |
| Because I just told you, repeatedly, over and over again, how they were lying. | |
| They have to know they're lying. | |
| They do podcasts. | |
| They're on the internet all day. | |
| They're constantly tweeting. | |
| They know their way around a computer. | |
| If these people hadn't heard of the Kennel Bull Club before and laughed about it, I'd be surprised. | |
| I really would. | |
| They probably already knew. | |
| It was a dumb urban legend. | |
| It's a joke. | |
| But they're telling you that joke to scare you because they're terrible people who are trying to manipulate you. | |
| It's really, really bad, and they are getting away with it, and they shouldn't. | |
| But anyone on the anti-Q team, I mean, now you know. | |
| Now you know what absolute scum these people are. | |
| I mean, you already knew before, but this is truly Emperor's New Clothes kind of shit. | |
| This is just Q walking down the street, just ass out, Dick swaying in the breeze. | |
| Just completely nothing on. | |
| Naked as a jaybird. | |
| And you've got all these idiots telling him, man, you look great. | |
| Really well dressed. | |
| You're beautiful. | |
| You are a handsome dude wearing a beautiful suit. | |
| Never seen anything nicer in my life. | |
| I mean, it's just so absurd. | |
| It's so ridiculous. | |
| I love it. | |
| I love every crumb of it. | |
| Oh, man. | |
| I hope we just continue. | |
| I hope Q just becomes, like, this just absolutely decrepit idiot who just keeps publishing, like, bullshit every single day. | |
| Just obviously debunked crap. | |
| I hope we get the photo of the Loch Ness Monster. | |
| I hope we get, like, videos of, like, monsters attacking astronauts on the moon. | |
| I want Q to reverse course and go full flat Earth. | |
| I just, I want it all. | |
| I just want Q to just be completely out of his mind. | |
| Just to see how aggressively his followers, the grifting class with the base themselves, just how ridiculously shameless, like Jordan Sather, Dustin Nemos, Lisa May Crowley, Dilley. | |
| I just want to see how badly those people will just absolutely destroy themselves and their credibility for the sake of placating this moron. | |
| Or will they eventually just stage a coup and declare that the Q account has been compromised by the Deep State, and then just fucking say, yeah, in the name of the Q vision, we will continue on. | |
| But from now on, the drops are no longer official. | |
| He is lost. | |
| He is dead to us. | |
| Because, I mean, again, they don't really need Q anymore to keep this ship rolling. | |
| In the end, all they want is Trump to get re-elected. | |
| That's the whole point. | |
| So, this thing might have a shelf life of, like, six more months. | |
| That's it. | |
| And then, who knows? | |
| It could be all over. | |
| November 4th could be just, boom, grift over. | |
| Time to start a new one. | |
| Time to get working on something else. | |
| So, that is today's events. | |
| This podcast was supposed to be my celebration of my 4,000th follower, which I just literally got while I was doing this. | |
| I was looking at my questions that I was asked, and while I was refreshing my phone because I'm an idiot and I was letting it lock itself out and then deactivate my Twitter app, I went from 399 to 4,000. | |
| So yay, go me. | |
| So I asked everyone, ask me anything, as it were. | |
| And so the first question is JavaScript or Python? | |
| To which I say, I have no earthly idea. | |
| I am the most computer illiterate person. | |
| Ever. | |
| I just tap on the keys and make the wordy things happen. | |
| I have no idea how anything works on the computer. | |
| When stuff goes wrong, I just Google it, and if it doesn't fix it, then I probably go to Best Buy and just say, hey, fix this for me. | |
| Or I have one of my smart computer friends do it. | |
| I have a bunch of those, which is very helpful. | |
| Judy opens that fresh mouth of hers. | |
| Oh, Stephan is not from here, was the first question. | |
| Judy asks, while dealing, did you ever catch anyone cheating? | |
| If yes, what did they try to do? | |
| While dealing, I never had anyone cheat in a way that you would define as cheating. | |
| Generally speaking, most of the cheating I saw as a dealer is what we would call an angle shot, | |
| where someone does something where they try to get as close to the letter of the law as possible without actually | |
| breaking the law, and see if they can do something to get their benefit. | |
| It would be to the effect of not folding your cards and saying, yeah, you're going to get this one. | |
| And if the other person folds, thinking that you have folded and that they have won, and they just threw their cards away to go collect the pot, then you're like, hey, what are you doing? | |
| I still got cards. | |
| Dealer, dealer. | |
| He threw his cards away. | |
| I got cards. | |
| I win the pot. | |
| That's like an angle shot. | |
| Angle shots are all kinds of scummy moves. | |
| You can grab a stack of chips and play with them and make it look like you're gonna make a bet and then don't. | |
| I mean there's degrees of angle shots. | |
| There's like this one angle shot that I remember that was like really particularly vicious that I saw on TV where a guy Looked at his cards, then like slid them forward aggressively like he was about to fold. | |
| And he got a reaction out of his opponent and then he pulled his cards back. | |
| And the thing was his hand, his hand, he had two fingers and one finger on each card. | |
| His fingers never got off the cards. | |
| He never released them. | |
| So technically he was never folding, but he did push them forward with forward motion. | |
| And forward motion is a huge topic of discussion in poker when it comes to your chips and your cards. | |
| So he absolutely did move the cards forward with forward motion, and he was acting like he was folding, but he was trying to get a reaction out of his opponent. | |
| He got the reaction, and then he pretended like he was not making a folding action to get that reaction out of someone. | |
| So that's the kind of cheating you would generally see as a dealer. | |
| The most overtly vicious cheating I ever saw was when I was a floor manager at the Tropicana in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada and I was flooring and a guy at the table told me that a woman is taking chips off the table. | |
| And you are not allowed to do that. | |
| When you have chips on the table, they are in play. | |
| Which means anyone on the table can win them. | |
| You cannot protect them from being put into the pot so that they can be lost. | |
| Those chips are not your chips. | |
| They are the table's chips. | |
| When you physically get up and leave and take the chips off the table, then and only then do they become your chips. | |
| So he tells me this and I go over and start watching the game. | |
| And about 10 minutes later, she picks up Ace-King, and she's holding her cards such that I can see them. | |
| And she throws in a bet of $25 and gets called by a couple players. | |
| As the flop is coming down, she grabs a stack of red chips, which are $5 chips. | |
| She grabs a small stack of the red chips and drops them into her lap. | |
| And the flop comes down, and she leads out for $35 and gets called in one spot. | |
| And as the turn goes down, she grabs another stack of chips. | |
| She had about 400 in front of her at the start of the hand. | |
| And each time she did one of these grabs, she was taking $30 to $50 at a whack off of her stack and just dropping it into her lap. | |
| And on the turn, she bet $50, and the guy folded, and she won. | |
| And she was pushed the pot, and then I said, ma'am, can I talk to you for a minute? | |
| And I explained to her that she was not allowed to do what she was doing, and the money she had taken off the table she was going to have to put back on the table. | |
| And then she tried to tell me that it was her money and she could do whatever she wanted with it. | |
| And as I just literally prefaced a moment ago, it is not your money. | |
| You have to... You can only take that money off the table when you are leaving the table. | |
| It's just that simple. | |
| And so we had a little argument, but it was a very short argument because I told her, you put all the money back on the table or I'm throwing you out. | |
| And she was like, well, I'm not putting the money back on the table. | |
| And I'm like, well, then you're gone. | |
| You're out of here. | |
| And I handed her a rack and told her to leave. | |
| And that was the end of that. | |
| So that was, yeah, that was the worst cheating I ever dealt with at the table. | |
| So it was pretty ridiculous. | |
| Aurora Boring Alice, who has a Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes avatar, says, what is the airspeed velocity of a swallow? | |
| What do you mean? | |
| African or European? | |
| Boom. | |
| Nailed it. | |
| A.S. | |
| Millard, he asks, what is my favorite SCP article? | |
| And God, no earthly idea on that right now. | |
| That's a brain melter as it were. | |
| I like the ones that are about Random objects that do really weird stuff like I remember there was this one that was like a Broadcast of a children's series that like put people into like a sociopathic rage I Kind of like stuff like that. | |
| I like that. | |
| I like the weird quirky things where it's just a an item or a event Or just some primal thing that just occurs and the SP and the SCP have to deal with it in whatever way they have to in order to prevent the world from being unraveled. | |
| I like that kind of stuff a lot. | |
| I enjoyed all of yours, by the way, so keep writing, please. | |
| Writing is good. | |
| We all need to write more. | |
| Um... | |
| So... | |
| Another... | |
| Then we have... | |
| Narc says... | |
| So, this Trump supporter is unethical giving these drugs to these people. | |
| This Trump supporter is unethical giving these drugs to these people. | |
| This is the hydrochlorine. | |
| I can never say it right. | |
| So I'm just going to say it that way. | |
| Why in Q dream world that a vaccine of some, uh, why in Q dream world that a vaccine, some kind of tracker, but they don't think a president pushing for the hydroxychlorine pill would not have nanotech too. | |
| Well, that's because Donald Trump's a good guy, and the Deep State are bad guys. | |
| And Donald Trump would only do good things because he is good, and the Deep State would only do bad things because they are bad. | |
| That's the thing about QAnon that makes it so ridiculously stupid and two-dimensional, is that there's never any shades of grey. | |
| The evil people are literally enthralled to Satan, working to destroy the world, and the good guys are literally angels working on behalf of Jesus and God. | |
| There's no internal conflict of any character. | |
| There's no struggle for understanding or logic. | |
| It's just dumb evil Satanists versus dumb good Christians. | |
| And that's the whole story. | |
| they keep it as boring and as low as possible. | |
| Okay, WSS Memorial Gardens says, my question, my questions all boil down to something like, | |
| what are the best practices for engaging QAnon folks who might be amendable to reasons? | |
| Supplementary, what are some marks of a soft believer? | |
| I think a soft QAnon believer is more like a kind of soft conspiracy believer because that's the kind of thing that people just sort of They listen to like weird stuff and they get things in their head. | |
| And the next thing you know, the coworker that you've enjoyed talking to for the past many years is telling you stuff like, Oh, this COVID-19 is a bioweapon by the shy comms. | |
| And it was made by people. | |
| And when they want to stop it, they will. | |
| And you just look at them and you're just like, okay. | |
| And the thing is, is because they were eminently reasonable before this very moment, before they just kind of took off the mask and exposed themselves as insane, in that moment, I just approached them straight with the facts. | |
| Because when someone's, as you said, they're just kind of ambivalent, like they kind of had an idea about a conspiracy theory. | |
| They have heard about this Q stuff, and they heard about Jeffrey Epstein, and that makes some sense to them. | |
| For those people, you just come at them straight with the facts. | |
| I think the best possible thing you can do is to just tell them straight, like, this is what's really going on. | |
| And I told this person about the bat and the pang- and the- the pandalon, I can never say the name of that animal right, and all this kind of stuff, and how one thing led to another, and so on and so forth. | |
| And how if you were going to make a bioweapon, you absolutely would not use a COVID virus for it, a coronavirus for it, because you're not positive you're going to get a good result when you could absolutely use all kinds of other viruses that we already know are very effective on humans and create a far more deadly virus. | |
| So, uh, just give them facts. | |
| If you think they're a softie, if you think that they can be swayed. | |
| And, uh, I was, It may have been even here, but Dapper Gander had a really good point that when you're engaging someone like this, you want to find a point of contention that QAnon has made, or Q has made, and you want to hammer home how wrong it is. | |
| Then you want to make them admit it's wrong. | |
| Well, they're going to try to get out of that subject. | |
| They're going to try to get to a different subject. | |
| But don't let them. | |
| Just say, no, this is wrong. | |
| I want to hear you say that this is wrong. | |
| Because I've shown you the facts, I've shown you the evidence, and you just put them to a decision. | |
| Put them to a decision right now. | |
| Are they going to stick to the narrative, at which point you now know that facts and reason have no sway over them, and you can move on to like step two of now accepting that they are a hard target and not a soft target. | |
| As it were, when it comes to trying to get them to see light and reason. | |
| Or they will admit that that is wrong and then you can say, okay, that's all I cared about. | |
| Now let's go to your next point and just keep working like that. | |
| Keep working on that issue. | |
| Now, another thing I would say is that I always tell people when they're trying to get somebody out of QAnon, That the first and best thing on earth to do is to get them off the internet for a week or so. | |
| Just, just get them unplugged. | |
| Just get them, go on a camping trip, or just go somewhere fun. | |
| Just have a vacation. | |
| Or just get them out of the house for as long as you possibly can and have them go to the mall and, or more importantly, take them to a city. | |
| Just get them somewhere where they can see all these different diverse people. | |
| They can see black people and Muslim people and LGBTQ people, just see all these happy people going around just doing stuff, and interracial couples laughing and having a good time, and just all that kind of stuff. | |
| Just show them the real world. | |
| Show them that all these caricatures of monsters and demons that they have in their heads are not true, and it's not how the real world actually operates. | |
| The real world is actually a pretty nice place with lots of friendly people in it. | |
| You should go out and join it sometimes. | |
| But we can't do that now because of COVID-19. | |
| We can't get within six feet of somebody without the fear of death. | |
| So, I mean, my number one option is kind of out the window. | |
| But again, get them on Netflix. | |
| Have them watch a bunch of movies. | |
| Just keep them offline. | |
| Keep them away from Keep them away from YouTube. | |
| Keep them away from the influencers. | |
| Keep them away from the people that are reinforcing the narrative and poisoning their brains with this terrible toxic crap. | |
| Do whatever you can to make it so they stop listening to it. | |
| And whenever you talk to them, whenever you engage them, always use distancing language. | |
| Always talk about QAnon as they, and talk about you and them as us. | |
| Create the in-group of you and them and make QAnon the out-group. | |
| Explain it to them and be like, look, we know how this works. | |
| We understand what's going on. | |
| We know what Trump's doing. | |
| This is what they are saying about it. | |
| Establish that you and this person that you know well, and that is related to you, or is a friend of yours, establish that you are connected, and that you have the connection, not them and QAnon. | |
| So I think that's very important, the way you phrase it, and phrase everything, is to establish that there is a degree of connection that is stronger between the real life connection between you and them, than the fantasy connection they have with the weirdos online, And finally, Boris Johnson's Hair asks, my question is, how do you not say fuck more? | |
| I was they found on a QDrop. So that's pretty much my like kind of like | |
| beginners 101 deprogramming course as it were. And finally Boris Johnson's | |
| hair asks my question is how do you not say fuck more? Well I blew that out of | |
| the water tonight. I was on a fucking roll tonight. | |
| I mean, God, just, it's just so funny. | |
| I mean, I just, I really, like, it really blows my mind that these people who I have no respect for found a way to just absolutely debase themselves even more. | |
| It's really incredible. | |
| That none of them stopped for a moment and were like, okay guys, Q just did the Cannibal Club. | |
| Okay, so let's just pretend that drop didn't happen, and let's talk about hydrochlorine, or however you say it. | |
| Let's talk about Trump's miracle drug some more. | |
| Let's talk about Joe Biden being a rapist. | |
| Let's talk about literally anything other than Q freaking out about an old website from a million years ago with stock photos for staff that is obviously not real. | |
| And none of them had the self-respect to do that. | |
| None of them had any dignity. | |
| None of them had any common sense. | |
| Just a bunch of lemmings running themselves off a cliff. | |
| Seriously, just think of what the ethos of all these assholes is when you engage them and they argue with you. | |
| Think for yourself! | |
| Do your own research! | |
| It's all they ever say. | |
| They're robots. | |
| They're robots just bleeding out their pre-programmed nonsense. | |
| Trust the plan! | |
| Think for yourself! | |
| Do your own research! | |
| And yet, in this moment, in this ridiculously silly moment where it is obvious what is happening, they just jump right in. | |
| Jump right in with two feet. | |
| Don't even think for a moment. | |
| Don't stop because you might miss out. | |
| Get in now. | |
| Operators are standing by. | |
| They're clowns. | |
| They're just absolutely sad clowns. | |
| And they should feel terrible about this. | |
| They really should. | |
| They should be ridiculed forever. | |
| Forever! | |
| The stink of this Q-drop and the fact that they bought into it should last for an eternity. | |
| It should never go away. | |
| So, yeah. | |
| To hell with all of them. | |
| And I'm glad they made themselves look like such idiots. | |
| They deserve it. | |
| They deserve every crumb of this. | |
| And more. | |
| And a lot more. | |
| So that's the 4000th follower podcast. | |
| It was a hilariously glorious day. | |
| Hopefully more days like that will be happening in the near future. | |
| I'll talk to y'all later. |
