| Hello, everybody, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld. | |
| I am, as always, your host, Poker and Politics, a.k.a. | |
| Mike Rains, and I am joined today, as always, by Sarge. | |
| Hello from the internet. | |
| And the mysterious El. | |
| Happy New Year, my beautiful babies. | |
| So we had the holiday season come by, and we had a bombing on Christmas, which you're going to be incredibly shocked to find out that QAnon had some opinions about. | |
| That's a great, like, I like your enthusiasm. | |
| We're hitting the ground running, but we have a lot of stuff to do before we start talking about the news. | |
| Oh, I know about that, but I was just whetting their appetites. | |
| I was just giving them the tease before I got into the other things. | |
| No way. | |
| We bury the lead on this podcast underneath a generous layer of us shilling and a content warning. | |
| Like some sort of delicious Q lasagna. | |
| The Q lasagna podcast, I think that's going to be our new name going forward in the new year. | |
| 2021, look for that on Spotify and all your other sources. | |
| So speaking of the first layer of that lasagna, let's get the content warning out of the way. | |
| This is the part of the podcast where we wait with bated breath for the content warning to happen. | |
| Apparently, my computer... | |
| The Adventures in Hellworld podcast talks in depth about QAnon, which means we have to talk about all kinds of child abuse and violence against people. | |
| Listener discretion advised. | |
| And what a well-waited-for content warning that was. | |
| I feel like this might be a good time to address the elephant in the room, which is our podcast lateness, which we all agreed that regardless of the real circumstances, we were going to chalk up to technical difficulties. | |
| And those technical difficulties, none of the listeners are going to know if those don't involve your computer being unable to play that drop properly, leading to like three or four solid seconds of excruciating pod silence. | |
| People who are listening to this in their cars commuting to work are gonna like, you know, just be so confused. | |
| They're gonna drive off off the road and into a ditch or off into a river if they're going over a bridge. | |
| I mean, I really hope that we haven't contributed to, like, some sort of, like, mass casualty event as a result of my computer's inability to load an audio file swiftly. | |
| And the people that are working from home are going to be so disoriented, they will wander out into their garage, get into their car, and they drive it into the... | |
| Oh man, I now know the power I have, the weight of the world is in my hands. | |
| I will try to make sure my computer is more betterers in the future. | |
| Don't worry, you'll get another opportunity at doing some sort of, like, Halloween 3 mass suicide podcast thing. | |
| Or was it Halloween 2? | |
| See, I don't even know what's going on anymore. | |
| You've disoriented me! | |
| Anyway, you're gonna have another drop opportunity once we get to cue in the news. | |
| But first, we gotta talk about shilling. | |
| Mike, what sort of shilling you got for me today? | |
| I have the shilling that we always have, where if you like what we're doing and want to support our work, you can go to patreon.com slash Poker and Politics. | |
| And if we are not worthy of your cold hard cash, but you have some money to throw around, please donate to love146.org, an anti-human trafficking organization that actually does the work that QAnon always talks about doing, but actually is counterproductive, too. | |
| Finally, obviously, the Georgia runoffs are nearing on January 5th. | |
| That's going to happen. | |
| That's very soon, so any money you can throw their way so we can actually have a Senate that might actually do something, like give us those $2,000 checks that Mitch McConnell fucking won't give us! | |
| Because he's a piece of shit, and fuck that guy! | |
| That'd be just lovely. | |
| Yeah, the runoffs are so close that there's a little pre-runoff coming out of the tip. | |
| Yes, all of that. | |
| All of that. | |
| It came out over the plate so that I could watch Sarge's reaction and it was just as glorious as I was expecting. | |
| When I think of Mitch McConnell and runoff elections, I think eroticism. | |
| So I'm glad that Al was able to catch my mind waves and take us down. | |
| He checked the boxes on my granddaddy and turtle fetish. | |
| Yes. | |
| This is the sensual, sanitarial runoff podcast, as it were. | |
| Not since Kung Fu Panda have I jerked off so much. | |
| Get it? | |
| Because there's another old turtle in that movie? | |
| Yeah, you guys get it. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| Oh, man. | |
| This podcast is off to a great start. | |
| Absolutely sparkling start, but um... | |
| But yeah, actually having the Senate work for us instead of actually working against us and basically trying to put in a destroy the internet provision on top of giving us money is a really odd thing for the guy who's in charge of the Senate to do. | |
| That's what our esteemed leader Mitch McConnell has elected to do. | |
| So yeah, we all get to be fucked. | |
| So if you want to unfuck us, help out the Democrats winning Georgia, because that'd be nice. | |
| Vote blue, you cowards, if you're in a position to. | |
| Do it. | |
| Do it now. | |
| And even if you're not, just commit voter fraud. | |
| That's what the Republicans claim we're doing anyways, so hey. | |
| No, if you're a Republican, you're just not supposed to vote because it's rigged. | |
| Can't win, don't try. | |
| Right, exactly. | |
| Republicans, we are cheating aggressively, so just quit. | |
| Democrats, wink, nod, we're not actually cheating, we're just voting. | |
| There's actually just more of us than there are of them, so that's why we win in elections where popular vote matters most of the time. | |
| So yeah, so those things, those things are true, and just run with them as it were. | |
| Anyway, so that wraps up our shilling portion. | |
| Does Mike have the bump for Cues in the News? | |
| I do have that bump. | |
| Does my computer want to play that bump is the question. | |
| Let's find out right now. | |
| Everyone's favorite death cult been up to this past week. | |
| It's time for Cues in the News. | |
| Thanks, Peter. | |
| It started to try to do it again, so I guess my it worked was a little premature. | |
| Yeah, way premature. | |
| But going back to what we teased you with at the start, there was a bombing in Nashville on Christmas morning and yeah, there's been a lot of talk about that in the QAnon community because there's nothing they enjoy more than acts of terrorism that they can blame on either good guys, bad guys, aliens, third parties. | |
| This is, I mean, this is, this is the sandbox they like to play in. | |
| This is what they live for. | |
| So, uh, the facts on the ground, as it were, are that, uh, this guy, who literally has the middle initial Q, uh, Anthony Q1- Oh boy, shut it down. | |
| I mean, maybe that's why, uh, Q hasn't been posting very much recently. | |
| He's been too busy bringing this fuckin' RV bomb to scare away and then blow up people in Nashville. | |
| Yeah, so our boy Anthony did this very weird thing where he warned everybody to get away from the RV. | |
| And then it blew up. | |
| And it was apparently blew up near an AT&T building, which led to all kinds of thoughts about this being either a bad guy attack to blow up attempts to Audit the voting machines in Georgia, which again, this is not in Georgia. | |
| It was in Tennessee, but who cares? | |
| I've heard directed energy weapons were used and not a bomb. | |
| Directed energy weapons, huh? | |
| Now we're talking. | |
| Earthquake machines? | |
| Directed energy weapons? | |
| Is that a laser? | |
| Yeah, pretty much. | |
| I mean, we didn't get gauss rifles, so we didn't go full battle tech, but And basically, there was like this long... Q, because Q doesn't have their daddy anymore to tell them what to think... Oh, is Q still silent? | |
| Oh. | |
| Yeah, Q hasn't posted since, uh, We're Not Gonna Take It. | |
| Yeah, it's been over... Making me believe that he did, in fact, take it. | |
| Yes. | |
| I made that joke last week, but it's just as true now. | |
| It really is. | |
| I mean, seven or eight days later, it's even more true now. | |
| He continues to take it. | |
| Yes. | |
| He is gonna take it like a chump! | |
| Yeah, we're over three weeks now of icy silence from the guy trying to save the world from the greatest evil that has ever existed. | |
| And you would think, given the fact that, like, I don't know, like, literally Biden's about to become president in 20-odd days and the Antichrist is going to rise up and destroy us all, you would think- I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but we'll get into that during our next- So in our production meeting, you talked about we got to lizard people finally? | |
| Well, yeah, that was the actual motives of the guy who did it. | |
| I had started off by exposing the nonsense of QAnon's theories about why this happened. | |
| Got to make sure I keep the nonsense separate, otherwise we might get confused. | |
| Yeah, exactly. | |
| Why this mentally ill guy did the bad thing he did, it seems the original hypothesis for the past few days has been 5G. | |
| He was into the whole 5G cooking us, killing us, it's deadly, it's how the government's tracking us, and all that kind of stuff. | |
| Spreading COVID. | |
| Yeah, it's spreading COVID. | |
| Oh yeah, exactly. | |
| COVID is not real. | |
| 5G radiation poisoning is real, etc. | |
| So all of that was the original kind of belief behind why this was happening. | |
| And then just recently it came out that people have like found more of this guy's materials. | |
| They've talked to more people who knew him. | |
| And he was also into lizard people. | |
| He was also into the David Icke nonsense about the reptiloids and all that kind of stuff. | |
| So we're dealing with a guy who clearly was on the fringes and really didn't have a good | |
| like grasp on reality and just went to crazy town. | |
| And then on top of that, the other thing that was really awesome was that apparently he had been visited by law enforcement. | |
| I think it was FBI previously. | |
| And the people that knew him were like, yeah, he's making bombs. | |
| He knows how to make bombs. | |
| This guy loves bombs. | |
| It's all he does. | |
| Yeah, I love bombs. | |
| He was the Crumbopulous Michael of bomb making. | |
| And apparently the FBI was just like, is he white? | |
| And they were like, of course he is. | |
| The FBI was like, what do we care? | |
| And just walked away. | |
| So, and then holy shit, he made a giant bomb. | |
| So fucking crazy. | |
| Not that I'm trying to justify what he did, but it is pretty clear that he was trying to, like, prevent any sort of loss of life or even, like, injury to people, right? | |
| This was some sort of, like, targeted demolition of a structure? | |
| He was inside the van I guess? | |
| Yeah, it was a suicide bombing of a building that had 5G and Wi-Fi capabilities, and there was talk that a lot of people in Nashville didn't have service for days after the attack, because that was what he was trying to do, punch out. | |
| The ability of this building to allow people to use the internet and the 5G network. | |
| So did the people of Nashville snap out of their government-induced stupor because the 5G went away and then turn against the tyrannical government with their Confederate flags flying? | |
| Apparently not, but it is possible they did. | |
| Or were they just completely annoyed that they didn't have cell service for a while? | |
| You be the judge. | |
| This is where we need to get our Adventures in Hell World road crew together. | |
| We could just go to Nashville and just interview people and just be like, on a scale of 1 to 10, how annoyed are you? | |
| And on a scale of 1 to 10, how much of a burden has been lifted off of your shoulders because the radiation the government's pumping into your brain went away? | |
| He might not have been a Cue-er, but he definitely was Cue-adjacent. | |
| He was definitely a deep conspiracy theorist. | |
| Well, what does the Cue-munity... Let me take that one again. | |
| We'll fix that one in post. | |
| What does the Cue-munity think about this, Mike? | |
| Like, did they think he was one of the good guys? | |
| This is the problem without their big daddy to lead them. | |
| They're all over the map on this guy. | |
| Again, because his name was Anthony Cue Warner, I actually, like, people took, like, the, you can get the word Anon out of Antony, and then you can get the word Warn or War out of Warner. | |
| So I saw, like, QAnon War as being, like, one of the ways they translated his name. | |
| Then they translated his name as QAnon Warn, that he was either declaring war or sending a message to warn us about something. | |
| Does the fact that he was 63 and has had that name his whole life, And QAnon is a three- to four-year-old movement ever come into the... they're just like... No. | |
| They're completely... they have no desire to ever... time travel. | |
| Or they're thinking to themselves that, like, literally this guy was part of, like, the pre-internet patriot movement, and, like, Q-Team knew one day they would need to mobilize him for this great task, or whatever. | |
| I mean... Yeah, can you imagine this guy, they were just like, oh, he was a secret Q operator from the 80s, and he's... What did they do, like, activate him via fucking fax or whatever? | |
| They beeped him. | |
| Yeah, pretty much. | |
| I mean, this is what they always say about, like, MKUltra people, is that, like, you're a sleeper, and then, like, someone, like, walks behind you one day, and then it's just, like, extra dry pastrami, and then you just, like, lose your mind and start killing people. | |
| It's just, like, there's a code word that just, like, sends you into an AR-15 grabbing and murdering spree, and that's just the way our government works. | |
| Why would your deep secret codename be an incredibly thrilling sexual maneuver? | |
| I have no idea, but I mean, that's the way the Cabal operates. | |
| Everything is incredibly sexual with them. | |
| Turtles, pastrami, it's just all like this menagerie of erotica. | |
| The ocean? | |
| You better believe it. | |
| They fantasize about the ocean. | |
| Oh my god. | |
| Oh, do they ever. | |
| Oh god. | |
| Turtles and krakens just frolicking in the ocean. | |
| It's, yeah. | |
| He is either... The thing is, they don't know. | |
| He's a good guy. | |
| He's a bad guy. | |
| He did it. | |
| He didn't do it. | |
| He's a patsy. | |
| I mean, there's so much... They don't have a narrative for this yet. | |
| And Q won't say anything, so... And Q ain't gonna tell them what the narrative should be. | |
| Do any of them think this guy was Q? | |
| No. | |
| That would be awesome if someone actually went that way with it. | |
| Has anybody pointed out how much Anthony Warner sounds like Anthony Weiner? | |
| Think about it. | |
| Does he have a laptop? | |
| Maybe the laptop was in that building. | |
| Possible. | |
| Maybe. | |
| Being too old to get into the building in order to destroy or secure the laptop, he just had to take it upon an RV or a van to do it. | |
| Oh, that was Major Dad, who is apparently aggressively ageist. | |
| He had all these photos of blown-up sections of the area. | |
| He's like, the FBI and the government wants to tell you that a 63-year-old man did this by himself. | |
| Is making a bomb a young man's game? | |
| Wasn't the Unabomber pretty old and he was getting his bomb on pretty effectively? | |
| I mean, this isn't, like, something that requires a lot of, like, physical strength and incredible dexterity. | |
| It's just... No way, man. | |
| We all know that every good chemist on the planet is some hotshot 20-something who just got out of college. | |
| Where we go one, we go maybe this guy? | |
| Yes, exactly. | |
| Yeah, and I remember also he claimed that the Vegas shooter couldn't possibly have done it because he was 64. | |
| Because pulling a trigger on an automatic weapon is something you just can't do when you're old. | |
| It's fucking impossible. | |
| No. | |
| Totally. | |
| Totally impossible. | |
| No old white man has ever been responsible for any sort of crime. | |
| Exactly. | |
| Sorry, I have to move my copy of Mein Kampf out of the way here. | |
| Your personal copy of Mein Kampf, huh? | |
| We get some revelations on the podcast here, trying to figure out how to make trains run on time, eh? | |
| Trump sure didn't. | |
| Hey, Operation Warp Speed's going great. | |
| We're all getting our vaccinations totally on time. | |
| Speaking of Trump, we somehow forgot to put it in our show notes, but one of the other biggest news stories is obviously Trump coming out in favor of the $2,000 check without Daddy Q to steer the boat through the wavestorm. | |
| Or the Stormwave, or the Kraken Tsunami. | |
| Does Q know what to make of this word from on high that 2k checks are the way to go? | |
| They love it. | |
| They love Trump. | |
| They love the 2K checks. | |
| I mean, this thing was almost kind of like a QAnon initiative that, like, got to Trump because when the deal got struck for the $600 checks, everyone in QAnon was like, this sucks. | |
| Veto this, Trump. | |
| It's bad. | |
| We're angry. | |
| We want more money. | |
| And then, like, a couple days later, Trump comes out. | |
| He's like, hey, give everyone $2,000! | |
| It'd be fucking incredible! | |
| Like, there is so much of QAnon right now that is all about, uh, now Trump's exposing the Republicans' corruption. | |
| And now we're seeing who the bad guys in that party are. | |
| And there's all these people, like, it's really, again, this is like another schism that's happening inside of QAnon. | |
| Where there's guys who are like, Hey guys, we got to vote for the Republicans in the Georgia runoff. | |
| We got to take care of this. | |
| We got to like help out, blah, blah, blah. | |
| And then we have guys who are like, after Trump gets sworn in on January 20th, I'm done with the Republican party. | |
| Don't give a shit about them anymore. | |
| They're all crooks. | |
| They all suck. | |
| Fuck them. | |
| I'm just a Trump man. | |
| Trump through and through. | |
| So you have this, like, really interesting, like, thing. | |
| And there's been a lot of talk about, like, the Patriot Party, this third party that's going to be formed out of, like, QAnon slash, like, lunatic MAGA who don't want to support the Republicans. | |
| So this is like kind of this new paradigm these people are working off of where you have like Joe M and others are just like hardcore back the party, back Republicans. | |
| We'll make this work in the long run. | |
| And then you have people like Major Dad and also like CJ Truth who are like, fuck the Republicans. | |
| They're a bunch of corrupt assholes. | |
| Mitch McConnell's a piece of shit. | |
| Like we're going to, we're going to go, we're going to start our own party with hookers and blackjack. | |
| It's good to see that we can finally find some common ground with Q supporters, and that is... well, some Q supporters, and that common ground is that the Republican Party blows and sucks at the same time. | |
| Circular breathing, like he was playing a clarinet. | |
| Yes. | |
| It's really, really... Circular breathing. | |
| Hey! | |
| It got me. | |
| I don't know why. | |
| What else sucks and blows simultaneously, Sarge? | |
| Sarge, the Republican Party, that's it. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So we have, we have that dichotomy going on where you have the people | |
| that want to just back the party. | |
| Then the other people are just like, only Trump. | |
| And Trump was an outsider, he took the Republican Party over to MAGA and kill all the liberals, and now we're probably not going to get all the liberal murder, but we still love Trump, so... The gung-ho Q people, the Q supporters that thought that the president had the power to appoint Is there any way to convince these people that Trump has no power? | |
| just at any target at any time and have them disappear. | |
| How do they feel about the fact that their president can't even point the Republican | |
| Party at $2,000 stimulus checks and make it happen? | |
| Is that indicative of just the Republican Party being shitty? | |
| Is there any way to convince these people that Trump has no power? | |
| That Trump is the emperor with his dick out? | |
| I was reading that McConnell is trying to tie $2.30 to it to make it a poison pill. | |
| What's 230? | |
| 230 is Section 230, which is basically the thing that indemnifies social media platforms and internet providers from lawsuits based on the content that's written on their sites. | |
| So, if you say something terrible about somebody, you can be sued for defamination, but, like, Twitter can't be sued for it because the person can't say, well, Twitter let you say that about me, so I'm suing Twitter on top of you. | |
| And 230 just says no, you can't sue Twitter for the comments individuals use on these sites. | |
| And you just have to go after that person. | |
| And if it's Devin Nunes's cow, or whoever, like good luck trying to be able to figure out who an anonymous shit poster is. | |
| That's bad news for Parler. | |
| Like everybody on Parler says terrible, terrible things. | |
| Parler would go out of business within 10 seconds of 2.30 going down. | |
| And on top of that, as I think we've mentioned before on this podcast, in Parler's terms of service, if Parler ever got sued for anything, you said you're a defendant in the lawsuit. | |
| You're part of it. | |
| They pull you in and you become party to the lawsuit. | |
| If your genocidal psychosis got someone to sue them because they were Targeted by your death threats or whatever like you're actually now a defendant and parlors not on the hook for them by themselves But even dragging you into it parlor would face so many lawsuits It would be awful for them to exist and as I've like pointed out to other people about this if 230 went away | |
| Like, the internet's gone. | |
| The internet as you know it doesn't exist. | |
| Twitter would literally be results of sporting events and pictures of cats. | |
| Because if you typed in anything to Twitter and hit send, it wouldn't get posted for another 20-30 minutes because a lawyer would have to look at it and make sure that Twitter wasn't going to get sued for what you just fucking said. | |
| And if you had even the mildest of opinions, Or even the slightly spiciest of takes, Twitter might just reject your tweet and be like, we can't post this due to liability issues. | |
| So you literally have to be nothing but happy, cheerful, and joyous. | |
| You can't criticize anyone. | |
| You can't say anything negative ever because we're afraid of a lawsuit. | |
| It would be so funny if the Democrats ever called their bluff and passed 230 repeal on top of the $2,000 check. | |
| And we're just like, okay, idiots, destroy the internet. | |
| See how you like that. | |
| And all these conservatives who want 230 to be repealed because their idiot daddy Trump wants it repealed. | |
| They'd be really happy when they logged on the next day and Gab and Parler were down and all of their hateful tweets on Twitter were disallowed. | |
| They just didn't get posted because Twitter's like, nope, we're not posting that. | |
| Oh yeah, by the way, we're just going to ban your account because we can't trust you. | |
| We know what you're going to say. | |
| 230 going away would lead to way more censorship, not less. | |
| But they don't understand that it's a dumb buzzword. | |
| It's a stupid thing that they heard once, and now they're running with it for forever. | |
| Like, get rid of 230! | |
| Hold the tech companies accountable! | |
| And it's like, well, you do that, the tech companies will just stop providing a service, idiot. | |
| I mean, it's so ridiculous. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And so I was reading McConnell keeps trying to tie the $2,000 checks to that. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| Basically, Trump's three dumb demands were a $2,000 check, $230 repeal, and a congressional investigation into election fraud. | |
| And the Democrats would laugh their asses off and agree to the investigation into voter fraud because they're not going to find fucking anything. | |
| So McConnell knows the only way he can make the Democrats not vote for this is to create the President Piss Babies Three Demands Bill and tie the 230 into it, at which point, like, literally every senator and representative who has anything to do with the tech industry has a lobbyist calling them up and going, you can't get rid of 230 because if you do that, like, our business actually fucking dies. | |
| Everyone would come out of the woodwork in support of 230. | |
| Tech industries. | |
| Dental industries. | |
| Get it? | |
| Yes. | |
| So just shaking his head at me. | |
| No, you don't understand. | |
| 230, like the number 230, when said like that, it could also sound like tooth hurdy, which is a dental thing, like you would need a procedure for and therefore dentists would want that because that increases their revenue. | |
| The same way that the actual bill 230 prevents tech companies from being, you know, it allows them to accrue revenue off of Twitter, however that works. | |
| Yeah, well, it allows engagement. | |
| It allows people to actually post on their fucking platforms. | |
| Usually it's the revenue. | |
| Otherwise, what's the point? | |
| Capitalism, baby! | |
| This was what happened a couple years ago when... I forget what the actual legislation was or what actually happened, but it basically became a thing where platforms that allowed... | |
| kind of like a prostitution of some level or like sex work where it was like kind of a gray area like escort services or whatever I think it was like Backpage or whatever but like there was like something that happened where Backpage had to shut down because they could be on the hook for like illegal activity and then Craigslist was like we're not doing personals anymore because we know what Craigslist personals look like so fuck that so like this is what's going to happen is like whenever you do one of these things All that actually ever ends up happening is way more covering of your ass than liberty and freedom! | |
| Are you implying that the Craigslist Personals page was a place where I could go for some sex work? | |
| Why didn't anybody... Who could have known? | |
| Why didn't anybody tell me this? | |
| I'm sorry, we slept on that one. | |
| Every time I went on the Craigslist Personals looking for love, it was always some Bible study girl trying to get me in good with the Lord and other wholesome individuals. | |
| Yes. | |
| That was pretty much it. | |
| It was just, like, wanting to go to prayer camp, wanting to get closer to Jesus. | |
| There was no one looking for some snow or anything like that. | |
| Actually, I should clarify before I get in trouble that I don't think that all church workers are not wholesome. | |
| I do think that the ones advertising on Craigslist are probably not that wholesome. | |
| Right? | |
| Like, if you're a wholesome sex worker, then I'm assuming that you're probably... Elle's hot take corner. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I mean, like, you know, before it went away, we all know what the Craigslist personal section was like. | |
| I think- wasn't it a Craigslist personal where the guy got busted and in his lawsuit they actually used the whole cheese pizza is a code for child porn thing to like help- That certainly sounds right. | |
| I have no idea, but probably. | |
| I mean, he was on Craigslist. | |
| Was he was he dressed as a Ninja Turtle? | |
| I hope so. | |
| That would be the ultimate cheese pizza defense. | |
| Just show up as a Ninja Turtle. | |
| Yeah, I was talking about pizza. | |
| At some point the FBI is gonna kick in Mitch McConnell's door and he's just gonna put a bandana over his eyes. | |
| He's gonna be like... That's our contractually mandated 80s reference for the episode. | |
| We don't have any contractually mandated ones, that was just a freebie. | |
| Problem is, we're gonna give away all the freebie references before anybody pays for any of them, and then we're gonna be hoisted by our own batard. | |
| We're gonna have to be like, ah, now we're gonna have to talk about perfect strangers | |
| again. | |
| I almost asked if that was the one with the little girl robot. | |
| That was Small Wonder. | |
| That was Small Wonder, yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Perfect Strangers had Cousin Balky. | |
| He did. | |
| Balky Bartonowicz or whatever? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Bartonowicz. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Bartonowicz. | |
| Why do we remember so much about Perfect Strangers? | |
| Brock, I do not know beyond division, mathematically. | |
| Division is where it is. | |
| But I remember Perfect Strangers. | |
| My partner's father related to her after the holiday and was like, Sarge just knows so much about nerd stuff. | |
| He just goes on a whole nother level. | |
| How can anyone retain that much? | |
| And it's just like, I don't know how to do taxes. | |
| Like, there's so many, like, I couldn't, not that it's a skill you need anymore, but I couldn't balance a checkbook, like... No, if taxes wanted to get done by you, it would have had a catchy theme song. | |
| Maybe that's what our niche should be. | |
| This is our weekly, big-brain, multi-million-dollar marketing scheme idea of the week. | |
| And that is, we become people that write jingles for activities that blow. | |
| Real-life skills. | |
| Real-life skills. | |
| And then we somehow parlay that into making money by, like, you know, hitching our way. | |
| Like, H&R Block needs a tax jingle. | |
| We just go with a Casio. | |
| It was leaking, here's how to turn off your water. | |
| Do do do do. | |
| We just go with a Casio. | |
| It's like a personal service. | |
| I go like, it's literally us with a keytar just vamping while you do shit. | |
| I'm gonna need a vocoder or something in the background. | |
| It's like do do do do. | |
| You You can be Imran, like T-Pain? | |
| Yes. | |
| And this is what people are tuning in for, to hear us talk about this bullshit. | |
| Yep. | |
| Okay, so, let's steer us back onto the road there, El. | |
| So, we got through the natural bombing, and we got through the stimulus checks, so I guess it's time we talk about Howley. | |
| Yeah, our good boy Howley has decided to join the petulant piss babies on January 6th, where he is actually going to be the first senator in forever to object along with idiot representatives to force the House and Senate to go to their respective rooms and then vote to agree if the election was legitimate or not in X number of states. | |
| Petrel and Pissbabies is my favorite Blood Bowl team. | |
| Oh god, they were a very good Skaven team they had for a long time. | |
| I was going to say Goblins. | |
| Goblins were doing fine too. | |
| Well, except you couldn't say they were a very good Goblin team because that doesn't exist. | |
| That doesn't exist. | |
| Blood Bowl burns! | |
| Yeah, going deep into the weeds on the dumbest of games. | |
| Anyways, I'm going to try not to roll triple skull here and continue going along here. | |
| So this is going to lead to something that Mitch McConnell didn't want. | |
| And like even all the articles that are talking about Howley's whining little protest here are saying that Mitch McConnell told these guys not to fucking do this. | |
| And when you look at the like 2022 map for the Senate, the Republicans are defending like 22 seats. | |
| The Democrats are defending like zero basically. | |
| Almost all the Democrats are in safe places. | |
| Most of the Republicans are in places you'd think are safe, but who knows. | |
| But like Marco Rubio is going to be up in 2022 and nobody likes that guy anyways. | |
| And now Marco is going to have to cast a vote either in favor of a coup for Donald Trump, or he has to admit the election was fair. | |
| So it's like, if he admits the election was fair, I'm sure there's a lunatic in Florida who loves QAnon very, very much who will primary Marco and call him a treasonous sack of shit who didn't back the God Emperor. | |
| And if Marco does vote in favor of that idiot treason vote, then whoever the Democrat is in the general election is going to be like, Marco Rubio! | |
| This is all the definition of a no-win vote. | |
| to make Trump dictator for life. Is that fucking good? I don't think it's good. Vote Democrat. | |
| This is all a definition of a no-win vote. There's no... | |
| Yeah, I mean, like, like, I mean, getting these people on roll was like, like, uh... | |
| Yeah. | |
| It was a coup in and of itself, and... Just because, like, you know, having them, like, on the record voting yay or nay is, like, very important for all of these, like, downstream political races. | |
| Yeah. | |
| All political theater. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And that's what makes it so dumb is because they know the House will never accept this. | |
| And so they know it's going to fail. | |
| Yet now you're going to have all these people like having to like fucking stick their asses out for this shit. | |
| And every Republican who won a House race. | |
| by like eight or less points like this is so fucking bad for all of them because it's either get your ass primaried by a nut on one side or like you literally have some people like writing campaign ads against you for two years on the other Like, this is just awful. | |
| Which is why McConnell didn't want this, and now it's going to happen, and it's going to achieve nothing. | |
| I mean, what Howley is doing this for is obviously because he's going to run for president in 2024, and he's like putting his flag in the dirt saying, I'm the MAGA candidate for 2024. | |
| You vote for me, you're voting for the guy that rode Trump's dick the hardest, and that's what I'm here for. | |
| Go for me. | |
| And the best part about that is, who's to say Trump isn't just going to run against him? | |
| Who's to say that Don Jr. | |
| won't run and Daddy Trump will be like, vote for my son! | |
| He's the MAGA candidate! | |
| You're asking for loyalty from a group of people that are promising you nothing. | |
| I mean, you absolutely have no reason to believe that you're going to be able to, like, hold the MAGA vote yourself. | |
| Like, so many people are going to run for that and have gravitas in that sphere because they're either a Trump family member or Trump themselves. | |
| Or if, like, fucking Michael Flynn ran for president. | |
| Like, all the idiot QAnon people, all the idiot MAGA people would love Michael Flynn to run for president. | |
| So, like, fucking Howley trying to get those people on his side with this dumb protest while burning all of his fellow senators who are up for re-election in 2022. | |
| It's such a dumb, short-sighted move. | |
| It's really crazy to me how many people are still, like, looking at the flaming and sinking and exploding Trump ship and thinking, yeah, I want to get on that. | |
| Like, I mean, it is crazy. | |
| And, uh, I'm not gonna lie, like, one of the most surprising twists at the tail end of 2020, everybody was terrified of what Trump was gonna do, like, while he was sitting in the office as a lame duck. | |
| And I don't think anybody would have pegged, like, poison-pilling the GOP was gonna be his move. | |
| Because it seems like at least the past week or so, like, everything Donald Trump has been doing, I mean, he's still a piece of shit, and I still hate his guts, but the moves he's making now, I'm, I'm, I'm a fan of him. | |
| He's got more money for Americans and at the same time is like causing these crazy fractures in his political party that I hate. | |
| Like that is a big win for Trump and the L book. | |
| Yeah, I mean, it is, it's so ridiculous, like, his narcissism and his misery, like, on his way out the door, he just wants to burn the GOP to the ground is what it feels like. | |
| And it makes me laugh so much, because imagine if in, like, 2016, as Trump was running for president, if, like, some person, like, fell out of the sky and was like, by the way, this idiot is actually going to win. | |
| He is going to be a fucking shitshow like you read about. | |
| Four years. | |
| Then he's going to run for re-election. | |
| Lose to Joe Biden. | |
| Milk-toast, dull-ass Joe Biden. | |
| Gonna lose to him by 7 million votes. | |
| And then the 2024 primary for the Republicans is gonna be who can suck that guy's dick the hardest. | |
| Like, who can be most in favor of the disastrous one-term president who was rejected emphatically by the American people. | |
| Do you think Trump is kingmaker in four years? | |
| I don't see how he's not. | |
| I mean, it feels like he's just gonna be this, he's gonna get what he always wanted. | |
| He's gonna get to be this power broker that's gonna just be able to like just swing his dick around and talk about how great he is. | |
| and make everybody listen to him and do what he wants. | |
| But now he's not the president. | |
| He just gets to second guess Biden and all the mistakes he makes and tell the | |
| Republicans how to more betterers fight him and the Democrats. | |
| How much of a power broker does he really get to be having like, we spitballed. | |
| Does the Republican party split? | |
| Does Q just, like, eat all its crazies and take them and form the crazy party? | |
| And, I mean, that's what they've done, but Trump is leading the charge, and it just seems like he's making himself the worst power broker because he's eating his own, like, it's... | |
| God, what's that old painting? | |
| Saturn eating his son, like his children, or Titans eating his children? | |
| He's eating his own power base and dissolving whatever power broking he gets to do by splitting the Republican Party. | |
| Well, I think what people see as the power is that There's the threat that he runs in 2024. | |
| And if he runs, no one can think of a way that he doesn't win the nomination. | |
| I mean, that's the thing is that he's so popular with the Republican base that it would be so hard for anyone else to like come in. | |
| And like run against him and say, no, you did a bad job. | |
| No, like COVID was a bad thing. | |
| You fucked it up. | |
| Cause like this whole time, anyone who, any Republican who tries to say that Trump did a bad job on COVID, there's all the tape of them saying Trump's doing the best job on COVID imaginable. | |
| He's doing the greatest thing you could ever hear of. | |
| Like Ted Cruz was on the record saying that COVID was going to go away on November 4th and like all this kind of shit. | |
| Like all of these guys just got like so whole hog into the cult of Trump that Having to fight him in four years, it's gonna be really, like, so tough to go from lapdogs and sycophants and ass kissers to, no, Don, you actually did a really bad job, and I wasn't happy with it. | |
| When it's like, no, you were on tape, like, being his total lapdog the whole time. | |
| So it's really great that you're coming out and saying you didn't like him now, but when you actually could have done something about it, you didn't. | |
| I mean, any Republican Senator who's in office right now who isn't Mitt Romney voted to acquit him in impeachment. | |
| So if you had any problems with what Trump was doing, you had your chance to either performatively say you were getting rid of him or legitimately getting rid of him, and you didn't do it. | |
| Here's an important question that I personally haven't thought about much just because I've been basking in the glow of at least four more years of sanity. | |
| Is it the nut for Democrats if Trump goes up for re-election and wins the NOM in 2024? | |
| Because then, like, don't the Democrats just have an easy roadmap for just beating the tar out of that guy, like, left and right? | |
| Just being able to point to, like, you know, all of his failures in general, but also the fact that, like, at the very end of his presidency, when the world needed it most, like, he could not rally his own base to support, like, a measure, like a $2,000 check. | |
| It would be very interesting. | |
| I mean, I think that, uh, given like the fact that he, so much shit is going to come out and so much crap is going to be like thrown at the walls. | |
| Like the moment he's out of power, all the book deals, all the, this is what's really going on. | |
| Like all that shit is going to make him so toxic and so like awful. | |
| And then there's like the fact that he's probably going to be in court fighting all the New York state charges against him for like four years. | |
| New York's been sharpening their knives for months now. | |
| Yeah, I mean, because the Supreme Court had ruled that they were allowed to see his taxes, they just had to file the right lawsuit to get him, even while he was president. | |
| So literally, at noon on January 20th, when Trump's no longer the president, Deutsche Bank is going to hand his tax returns to the New York District Attorney, and that's going to happen. | |
| All of these things are going to happen that are going to make him less and less palatable to the American public at large. | |
| And the fact that like Trump was kind of melting down from like dementia at the end of his presidency. | |
| So for more years of that, I mean, yes, I know that there's a lot of people who are like, Oh my God, don't say it, Mike, don't say it. | |
| But like, yeah, I'd love to run against Trump again. | |
| I think that would be incredible because he'd be in a much worse position than he is right now. | |
| In 2016, he only won because he was a blank slate. | |
| It was like this idea of a vision of a businessman running America like a business, this genius dealmaker, this billionaire self-made man, and all this bullshit. | |
| And then we got four years of that. | |
| And yes, I know the Electoral College, if a few things break the wrong way, he wins. | |
| But like four years later, he lost even more in the popular vote than he did previously. | |
| And so I don't see how like he turns the tide. | |
| I don't see how this goes badly. | |
| Because the only thing that's going to happen is when Biden gets in, like they're going to actually run the vaccine program and all of this stuff like well. | |
| So like, yeah, I was I was about to bring that up. | |
| I mean, like in the in the in the future is going to point to The Trump presidency as the presidency that was failing while COVID was happening. | |
| And then, you know, even if he doesn't have very much to do, even if he had nothing to do with like the development of it, Biden gets to be the ass in the seat when the vaccine rolls out. | |
| So he gets to be the sitting president when, like, hopefully COVID is over. | |
| And that seems like a big fucking win to me. | |
| He gets to take the same victory lap that Trump took. | |
| Like who did it? | |
| God, I don't even remember. | |
| Like so much happened during the Trump presidency. | |
| Like I feel like he took some undue victory laps that were Obama's, but | |
| that's just the nature of the game. | |
| Yeah. | |
| But the thing is right now, all these people are talking about how the vaccine | |
| rollout is being botched and how it's like not good. | |
| So like we're going to be dealing with that for like another 20 odd days. | |
| And then when Biden gets in, you're actually going to have like a person who knows how government works, like invoking that defense act to make those companies make more vaccines, like doing all of these things to actually get shit rolling, talking to all the states, setting up the infrastructure, actually making it work. | |
| Cause like they were saying that like right now, the way the Trump rollout has gone. | |
| At our current pace, it would take 10 years to properly vaccinate America under Operation Warp Speed. | |
| And I'm figuring that Biden's going to get that down to one or two years because he's not a fucking idiot. | |
| So I just think that those kinds of things, you're going to have that. | |
| You're going to have Biden running on the fact that he got America vaccinated and cleared of COVID. | |
| Like we came out of this horrible crisis under like the steady hand on the wheel of Joe Biden. | |
| And like, really, I just don't see a lot of people. | |
| Like wanting to yearning for Trump. | |
| Cause like, they're going to turn all of this shit that Trump and the Republicans hate back on Trump. | |
| They're going to be like, you know why we wore masks for two years? | |
| Trump! | |
| You know why all of this dumb shit happened? | |
| Trump! | |
| Like his poor performance here was why we had to eat all that shit. | |
| And like, that's going to be the narrative and that's going to be like the blowback against him. | |
| If like he tries it, if he tries to put his foot in the door and run for president again. | |
| Yeah, we really have just been showing our entire ass to the world for, like, four years. | |
| Speaking of COVID, now seems like it's as good a time as any to segue into some sad but also ironic news, as Republican Congressman-elect Luke Letlow died of COVID just recently. | |
| And he was 41 years old. | |
| This is a young guy who, uh, according to the people that were like treating him said he had no other conditions that like, this wasn't one of those things that like the QAnon and the right wing people like to talk about how these people are like on death's door and COVID gives them the gentlest of pushes. | |
| Like they attributed to the COVID when really they were dying anyways. | |
| But no, this was a totally healthy as a horse dude and he died. | |
| And what's really hilarious is like now, um, I've seen, because QAnon are the | |
| biggest COVID truthers in the world. | |
| Apparently this guy was having surgery due to an infection caused | |
| by COVID that was killing him. | |
| And during that surgery, he had a heart attack and died. | |
| So now QAnon's like, oh, he had a heart attack, that's what killed him. | |
| And it's like, no, all of the things that happened to him happened to him because of COVID. | |
| He had an underlying condition, Mike, and that is to say that the condition he was afflicted with was, you know, not wanting to have his body cut open And his heart exposed or whatever, so it just gave up the ghost. | |
| He was a ticking time bomb the whole time. | |
| The second anybody sliced into that guy, he was going to drop. | |
| Yes. | |
| Riddled. | |
| It doesn't matter if COVID was the reason they were slicing into him. | |
| That is irrelevant. | |
| So yeah, so I mean, like, I have seen two different major QAnon promoters, like, tweet out today, oh, so he died of a heart attack! | |
| And it's just, like, you! | |
| Yeah! | |
| Yeah, it's like, if somebody hits somebody else with their car, and, like, it breaks off a piece of their rib, which rockets into their heart and kills them, at the end of the day, that's gonna get reported as a vehicular homicide. | |
| Well, the vehicle hit him, sure, but what really got him was when his rib broke and flew into his heart. | |
| That was what killed him. | |
| So if anything, you should be suing his ribs. | |
| Yes! | |
| Exactly. | |
| I mean, it's that kind of triple bank shot bullshit. | |
| This is the reverse nonsense. | |
| Because, like, every now and then, like, I hear these people talking about, some guy got shot, they blamed it on COVID. | |
| And, like, that story was, like, literally a guy got shot, died, and, like, on his autopsy, they found out how he had COVID. | |
| And it was a misreported, like, death, and then they corrected it immediately. | |
| But nope, the story will never die. | |
| And all that kind of nonsense. | |
| This is the exact opposite of that, where like the guy has COVID, it caused all of his problems, but technically because he didn't die gasping for breath because his lungs were not working anymore, that means it was a heart attack and had nothing to do with COVID. | |
| It's just, these people are so miserable. | |
| I got yelled at, I got yelled at by one of our listeners for saying this when I was on the Twitter-trons. | |
| But if these pricks had existed back in the day, during the AIDS epidemic, they would have claimed that AIDS never killed anybody, which would be technically true, because all AIDS does is weaken your immune system so something else kills you, like pneumonia. | |
| I mean, it all comes back to the old joke, it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end. | |
| It's like, yeah, if you're gonna be a pedantic asshole, like, sure. | |
| Yeah, exactly. | |
| It's just like, yeah, it's so ridiculous. | |
| But yeah, so, and there's plenty of videos and plenty of footage of Luke here campaigning without a mask, being in buildings without a mask, doing all that kind of shit, like backing Trump's stupidity. | |
| So there are people out there who are like, hey, don't be a jerk. | |
| He wasn't a COVID denialist. | |
| And it's like, well, what does that actually mean? | |
| Like, what is your definition for COVID denialism? | |
| Because I think if you're like, Yeah, like, what, am I supposed to mourn the passing? | |
| wearing a mask and no one around who's wearing a mask. | |
| That's pretty bad. | |
| That's like if that's not co denialism, then what is do you actually have to say | |
| 5G is causing it or some shit to be accused of that? | |
| Yeah. | |
| And like what am I supposed to mourn the passing? | |
| Like, even if he wasn't anti COVID in his messaging to his constituents or whatever, | |
| at the very least, he was laissez faire enough about it where he just didn't take | |
| the world's most simple precaution of just wearing a mask when you're out in public. | |
| So it's like, well, what, am I supposed to fucking mourn this guy's passing? | |
| Like, maybe if all the footage was him, like, in masks and all that shit and somehow he contracted it, then yeah, sure. | |
| Because I'm also seeing this, like, you know, Backlash as always with this with this sort of stuff. | |
| There are people online who They want to be a more measured approach a more tactful approach to discussing stuff like this Like some of that like like ultra leftist turning the other cheek mentality Which even your boy L is not liberal enough to ascribe to because like I'm not pumped that this guy is dead But I'm also not about to yell at anybody who posts online That they might be happy that this guy's dead or at least not sad that he is When I had to Google search this person's name for this story, I saw a Yahoo News article that was just like, the reaction to this guy's passing by this particular journalist is repulsive, or whatever. | |
| And it's just like, oh, why? | |
| Did they say, hey, this ding-dong decided that COVID wasn't a big deal, then he caught it, and now he's dead from it. | |
| So, you know, sucks for him. | |
| And they're just like, how dare you? | |
| My pearls! | |
| I have to clutch them so that way I can tear them off dramatically when Joe Chill shoots me in that alley. | |
| Yes. | |
| Okay, that's far more topical than what we usually do for references around here, so my god. | |
| But uh, yeah, I mean It sucks for a person to die, but this was a guy who knew what was going on, and more than anything, he's getting all the reports, he's getting all the health information from all these sources. | |
| Being someone who's like either in government or like working to be a part of government. | |
| And yet he took no precautions because that's like the macho attitude of these Republicans. | |
| It's like, I ain't wearing a mask, master of a pussy. | |
| Yeah, I mean, their God King, after recovering from COVID, thanks to the power of, like, literally the best medical treatment a human being on the planet could get, just defiantly tore off his mask. | |
| Just like, yeah, fuck it. | |
| Look at this stupid rag. | |
| It didn't protect me from shit. | |
| My mighty body did. | |
| And they're just like, dude, you're like, not the healthiest specimen. | |
| I think that masks are important. | |
| Yeah, it's just that, the whole ethos of the Republican Party is so anti-preventative measures, anti-taking COVID seriously, just refusing to acknowledge the problem. | |
| All of these nutjobs who are screaming about, open the country back up! | |
| America's supposed to be about freedom! | |
| Dagnabbit! | |
| They just do this stuff. | |
| They just keep rolling with these idiots and letting them get away with it. | |
| And it's just like, no, this is a serious thing. | |
| And maybe, maybe in a million years, thinking about the fact that you were supposed to have a colleague with you in this session of Congress, and that person is not here because they're dead at the age of 41 due to COVID. | |
| Maybe that would shake them out of their stupor. | |
| At least when it happened to Herman Cain, like Herman Cain had like an advanced age about him, you know what I mean? | |
| So that way they could just be like, oh, whatever. | |
| Like they could be a little more flippant about the cause of his death, right? | |
| But this guy's 41. | |
| That is not an advanced age. | |
| That is a very unadvanced age. | |
| That's, let's just say, middle advanced age. | |
| Perhaps around the middle of one's life. | |
| Yeah, I'm older than 41, so I mean, hearing that shit's kind of terrifying. | |
| It's like, fuck! | |
| Gotta go get you some COVID, baby. | |
| Yeah, that'd be great. | |
| Go look at some doorknobs. | |
| Oh, did I send you the photos of the garb I wear at work now? | |
| Did I send you the photos of the doorknobs I was looking? | |
| That's where I thought you were going with that. | |
| No, I haven't seen the poker-appropriate hazmat suit that you wear now. | |
| Oh lord, I have basically a face shield that looks, it's the front section of one of those things you strap onto a dog or a cat so they can't scratch their ears. | |
| I have this giant skull shield now on top of my mask. | |
| And every time I move to a new table, I have to, like, wipe down everything on that table that I'm gonna touch for, like, that period of time. | |
| And then I hand the cleaning gear to the other dealer, who then goes to the next table and sanitizes it. | |
| Some sort of poker-dealing stormtrooper? | |
| Yes, that's literally what we are. | |
| Doug, you just need to go to some fucking fancy street or comic book artist, like an NHL goalie, and just, like, get your mask all pimped out. | |
| I have lobbied management to get the green tint on my mask. | |
| So it can be like the dealer visor, only it's just my face shield. | |
| It's just a giant green tint. | |
| Get a custom one, man. | |
| Get that 3D printed, dawg. | |
| Yes, I'm gonna have to go find a 3D printer and get my lime green face shield. | |
| But yeah, I mean, it's like... | |
| It just goes to show that if you take this shit seriously, you take it seriously, and if you're going to be a fucking clown about it, you're going to be a fucking clown about it. | |
| And I'm just trying to hang on and not catch this crap for another few months, then hopefully the Biden administration will be able to get me the vaccine, and then I will take it fucking immediately. | |
| And everyone's like, are you scared of the vaccine? | |
| I'm like, no, because I don't want to have to fucking wear my face shield anymore. | |
| I want to go back to a normal life. | |
| Yeah, I love the people that now that the vaccine is on the horizon, people are just like, oh shit, I don't know, or like, oh, are you nervous about taking the vaccine? | |
| And it's just like, no, man, 2020 sucked. | |
| I want that shit to be over. | |
| I want to get back to my fucking life. | |
| I want to be able to go outside and hang out with friends. | |
| Like, fuck it, shoot me with the needles. | |
| What's the worst that could happen? | |
| I'm going to die? | |
| Big deal. | |
| At least I will be dying trying to do COVID prevention. | |
| That's where we are right now. | |
| Right. | |
| Great. | |
| Anyway, do we want to roll into some Q-drops? | |
| I was going to put that to the panel, because we had more business to conduct at the back end of this thing. | |
| So if we wanted to do a couple drops, we could do that, or we could just roll right into questions, as it were. | |
| I mean, I feel like, technically, our podcast is supposed to be about Q drops, or at least, like, all the stuff we talk about is at least partially related to Q, including the COVID talk, because so many of the Q idiots are COVID deniers. | |
| But we didn't do a drop last week, right? | |
| Let's roll into one drop. | |
| Let's get back to the former meat and potatoes of the show before we just became a political news show with a side of dated pop culture references. | |
| So last we left, we had just done the first Alice and Wonderland statement. | |
| So that puts us at Q drop 48, which let's find out how great it is. | |
| What hint does that explicitly refer to? | |
| DOE? | |
| Who would have the goods on U1? | |
| Does stating Q refer to that person works in DOE? | |
| No. | |
| Does it refer that someone dropping such information has the highest level of security within all departments? | |
| Does it refer that someone dropping such information has the highest level of security within all departments? | |
| Why is this relevant? | |
| May 2010. | |
| B.O. | |
| Russia should be viewed as a friendly partner under Section 123, the Atomic Energy Act of 1954. | |
| After agreeing to a new nuclear weapons reduction deal and helping U.S. | |
| with Iran. | |
| Who is the enemy? | |
| What is being continually stated by all these? | |
| Russia is what? | |
| What did the Russia reset really provide? | |
| Clearance pathway to complete the U.N. | |
| deal? | |
| Why is the Canadian PM so important? | |
| They never thought they were going to lose. | |
| The calm before the storm. | |
| I think this is the first post that Q ever made that actually lended a little credibility to the fact that he might actually have Q-level clearance and possibly work in the Department of Energy, because the first paragraph was him just being like, what? | |
| Q clearance only means Department of Energy? | |
| That's not right! | |
| I could be from anywhere! | |
| I could be any government guy! | |
| It doesn't have to be the DOE. | |
| Don't worry about it. | |
| Yeah, shut up. | |
| Yeah, it's just like, it could be from, it could be Q clearance from anywhere, guys. | |
| I just want to make it like, open on a Q drop, and what is it, is he trying to tell us how to save America? | |
| No, he's desperately trying to cover his ass. | |
| Yeah, he just, like, he panics and he realizes that Q-level clearance, like, pins him down to a certain thing. | |
| So then he's like, no, no, it doesn't mean that. | |
| No, it means something totally different. | |
| It means I get to know everything. | |
| Shut up. | |
| Yeah, Q-level clearance means me and Trump are bros. | |
| That's what it means, asshole. | |
| Shut up! | |
| I mean, it's like, it feels like... | |
| Did I hear him right? | |
| Did he say Russia should be trusted in that one? | |
| He said that Obama said that, like, that in 2010. | |
| And again, like, this has to do with the Uranium One non-scandal, which is, again, not a thing | |
| where they just like kept like pissing and moaning about this evil selling of uranium | |
| to Russia, even though Russia is the good guys and all that kind of stuff. | |
| So... Yeah, I mean, at this point in the narrative, So is Q implying here that Russia is the bad guy? | |
| Or is a bad guy? | |
| And if so, how does that jive with Donald Trump's love of Russia? | |
| Yeah, it seems like Q is just trying to figure out what his play here is with Russia, because this is back when the Mueller investigation was nebulous, and they thought Mueller was on their side. | |
| I mean, this is the fact that Q and the Q drops were a living narrative that shifted with the news. | |
| Now he's trying to make up some sort of murkiness between Iran and Russia and Uranium One. | |
| What did Canada have to do with any of this? | |
| Was it Trudeau? | |
| Why is he dragging the Canadian PM into this? | |
| That doesn't make any sense either, but I think that mostly has to do with the fact that Uranium One is a company in Canada that There's a Canadian company that Russia bought out in order to mine the uranium in the uranium mines there. | |
| But again, if you look at all the uranium and where it went, it was almost entirely just transported between America and Canada, and none of it was turned into weapons level uranium. | |
| It was all just for nuclear reactors in both countries. | |
| And then They sold some uranium to some countries in Europe, but that was it. | |
| There's never been any attempt to refine any of this uranium into weapons. | |
| That just isn't true at all. | |
| But Mike, did anyone ever think of following Huma? | |
| It was all on the laptop. | |
| Not the first one, but the second one. | |
| 100% laptop had it. | |
| Yes. | |
| I don't know, like, if you change the inflection on Riddler Q, a lot of his stuff just seems like, it doesn't seem like he's trying to be cryptic. | |
| It just seems like he's actually looking for answer. | |
| Russia is what? | |
| What does the Russia reset really provide? | |
| Why is the Canadian PM so important? | |
| He goes from a really super-secret spy to, like, just Jerry Seinfeld working on a new bit. | |
| What is Q clearance? | |
| What's the deal with U1? | |
| Yeah, I mean, it's just all that. | |
| I mean, you know, this is, this is like an incredibly aggressive Riddler Q post. | |
| He even got a, why is this relevant in there? | |
| Uh, I mean... Come Before the Storm showed up? | |
| Yep, Come Before the Storm again. | |
| Yeah, I mean... Come Before the Storm is here, and he's working it into that regular rotation. | |
| Uh, let's move on to the next one, just so we can get a, knock a couple of these out before going to questions, and then our, uh, our post-shilling hall of honors. | |
| Yes. | |
| Cue drop 49. | |
| Follow Sen Grassley. | |
| What is different effective this week? | |
| What do you notice? | |
| Why does Sen Grassley, one example, have a higher than normal amount of security detail? | |
| Why is Grassley and others held in a secure location? | |
| When did this start? | |
| What has been different this week? | |
| View 1, FBI informant. | |
| Have secret sessions been underway? | |
| How could this be discovered? | |
| It's a name recognized around the world. | |
| So, Coca-Cola? | |
| Is Coca-Cola on this one? | |
| Yeah, I think it's Coca-Cola. | |
| the world, Alice and Wonderland. | |
| It's a name recognized around the world. | |
| So, Coca-Cola? Is Coca-Cola on this one? | |
| Yeah, I think it's Coca-Cola. That sounds right to me. | |
| McDonald's? Is McDonald's in the pocket of the cabal? | |
| I'm pretty sure that this was a three-year delta to the McRib or something. | |
| I think we're getting somewhere. | |
| I think we're getting close. | |
| And the thing about this is, there's no fucking way I would know a goddamn word of what he's talking about. | |
| Senator Grassley has more security. | |
| Again, this is about the narrative that literally the next day, November 3rd is when the world's supposed to fucking end. | |
| So now a Republican senator has more security around him because tomorrow the National Guard is going to storm Washington DC and start cuffing and stuffing all the bad guys. | |
| This bullshit about Uranium One FBI informant is, again, obviously bullshit, because there's fucking nothing to Uranium One. | |
| So, it's just... I just love that, like, this is... Hey, it doesn't have to be bullshit. | |
| Maybe their informant just informed them that nothing was happening. | |
| They just informed them of the facts. | |
| They are still technically an informant. | |
| He's like, hey guys, Uranium One was totally on the up and up. | |
| That's really all there is to it. | |
| I don't know why you called me out here, but thanks for the steak dinner. | |
| I'll catch you later. | |
| I don't know why you called me into this dimly lit parking garage and I'm trying to wear this trench coat. | |
| I'm just going to tell you, hey, guess what? | |
| It's above board. | |
| Above board is mining uranium can be. | |
| Yes. | |
| Lord. | |
| It just frustrates me now. | |
| Yeah, because the thing about this is that this is like the, these are like leading questions that no one in QAnon or that's following him would have any ability to answer because it's just like unverifiable nonsense. | |
| Like, where would you go Like to search on the internet or anywhere to find like the information that Chuck Grassley has a couple more guards on him this week. | |
| And like, what would that actually mean? | |
| And how would anyone have any ability to confirm or deny that story? | |
| I mean, it's such a bizarre thing. | |
| And Grassley was held in a secure location? | |
| What does that mean? | |
| Was it against his will? | |
| Did he agree to it? | |
| Did some men in black suits walk up to him and go, Mr. Senator Grassley, come with us. | |
| He's like, what, huh? | |
| They just put him in a basement. | |
| And they're like, you have to stay here so we can declare martial law and arrest slash kill all the Democrats. | |
| Well, they needed to keep him in a secure location while they questioned him about how Doc Brown and Marty McFly stole his uranium. | |
| Clearly. | |
| Clearly. | |
| Yes. | |
| Sarge, how dare you shake your head dismissively at that? | |
| Back to the Future is an incredible movie. | |
| It is. | |
| It is. | |
| And I referenced an incredible reference. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You don't think I was super serious because I couldn't actually get that one out without laughing? | |
| Um. | |
| Pfft. | |
| Okay, well we did our due diligence. | |
| We got through a couple of Q-drops. | |
| We're still trying to make it to that enigmatic Q-drop 75 that Mike keeps telling us is the bee's pajamas. | |
| 72, but yes. | |
| 72, 75, it's all the same shit to me. | |
| We're like two-thirds of the way there. | |
| We've made it to Q-drop 50, so it's all downhill at this point. | |
| Yeah, well, we're halfway there, but I mean, how many episodes have we recorded? | |
| It feels like we've been doing this for years. | |
| Oh, well, four. | |
| Four years. | |
| This is our four-year anniversary. | |
| Congratulations. | |
| It feels like we've been recording for years because it feels like everything has been happening for years in 2020, because you're just fucking in your house all the time. | |
| Yeah, 2020, the year that was a decade. | |
| So yeah, I mean... All right, so now it's time for everyone's favorite segment, listener questions. | |
| We don't have a bump for this. | |
| We'll have to yell at the voice of Q to give us a bump for the listener questions. | |
| You don't think my little song was good enough? | |
| We can maybe drop it up, make it a drop. | |
| It's fine. | |
| I'll go. | |
| I'll auto-tune the shit out of that shit. | |
| I'm gonna sound like Cher. | |
| Circa, do you believe in love? | |
| So Jeff Baines, or Bajanes, I have no idea. | |
| I'm terrible with names. | |
| But you have a Stormtrooper for your avatar, so you'll know it's you. | |
| He asks the question we're all asking, where's Huma? | |
| Good fucking question! | |
| She's got the laptops and the server. | |
| She's hiding in an even more secret secure location with the laptops and the server. | |
| And I feel like there's another thing that is their like 28th grail. | |
| Like they have so many grails. | |
| They are pretty grailtastic. | |
| Do you have any idea where she is, Al? | |
| I mean, I barely know who she is, so, I mean, if we're, like, we would just have to run down the whole list for me, pretty much. | |
| Like, who Huma? | |
| And also, why Huma? | |
| What Huma? | |
| What, when Huma? | |
| No, I mean, like, if you're looking for a funny response, but this is for me, I got pretty much nothing, because I have no, since I barely know who she is, I certainly don't know what she's up to. | |
| No. | |
| Yeah, I'm sure they're gonna try to make a third party. | |
| I just don't think it's gonna be any good. | |
| I mean, remember the Tea Party? | |
| right dialogue tree when you're talking to Alt Cunningham. | |
| I'm just gonna make that clear. | |
| So, uh, thank you for the question. | |
| So, uh, Kiz Epic asks, uh, do you think Trump Q supporters will build a viable | |
| third party when Trump is gone? | |
| No. | |
| No, I don't think it'll be viable. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I'm sure they're going to try to make a third party. | |
| I just don't think it's going to be any good. | |
| I mean, remember the tea party? | |
| Does anybody remember tea party? | |
| Yeah. | |
| The tea party that immediately just got glommed onto and co-opted by the | |
| Republicans and then became a poison inside of them and gave us pieces of | |
| shit like Ted Cruz. | |
| I think that's what's going to happen here. | |
| You're going to get like Tea Party on steroids. | |
| Where the QAnon people try to make a third party, realize that that's going to go nowhere, they're probably only going to get 5-7% of the vote, but being a poison inside the Republican Party and running people in primaries in midterm elections when nobody shows up to vote, because it's midterms and no one knows that those matter, that's how you get crazy people in the Congress and then the power of incumbency keeps them there. | |
| Like that's the real danger of 2022 is that you're going to have these people Like CJ Truth, who I'm always talking about, because he was the one who was like, I'm my primary Dan Crenshaw! | |
| So it's like, you're going to have even more QAnon people than Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert running in 2022. | |
| And in a midterm, the people that vote are like the extremists. | |
| They're the people that really care about this shit. | |
| So like, this is when QAnon people have a much better chance of breaking through. | |
| So, like, this is gonna be a, like, really scary primary season. | |
| Because this is when, like, the rock is gonna roll away from the mouth of the cave, and all the QAnon lunatics are gonna start spitting out. | |
| As soon as you start saying, this is when the rock, I was like, what is... | |
| What does Dwayne Johnson have to do with any of this? | |
| I was immediately, my brain just... Bro, Donald Trump is going to be killed and consumed by Dwayne The Rock Johnson, who will take his powers and lead the One America Party to great success. | |
| It's incredibly likely. | |
| Then Kiz's second question is, by the way, can you explain what the cue clock is? | |
| The answer is yes, but it would take four hours. | |
| So maybe some other day when this isn't on the back end of the podcast, maybe we'll do like a special episode of like the cue clock and it's mind melting bullshit, but it's incredibly dumb. | |
| Like the dumbest thing you've ever heard of in your life times 10. | |
| Now I'm curious. | |
| See, if I had to imagine what the cue clock was, I would imagine it being sort of like the doomsday clock, but as the needle moves, or as the hand moves, it gets closer to anything Q said ever being correct. | |
| And it turns out that right now on that particular cue clock, we're still at 12.01, because that dude has never even been close to being right. | |
| Exactly. | |
| That is what Q is, a deeply stupid moron who never gets anything right. | |
| I love that Mike was like a little, like, so the audience can't see him, but I could see him. | |
| So I could see that Mike was a little bit distracted there. | |
| So his brain just went to like this canned response of just like, yes, yes, Q people are stupid. | |
| And it's hard to agree with them, or hard to disagree with them, I should say. | |
| No, I just, I just managed to annihilate the tab where the questions were. | |
| I had to like come back and get it, and then I found it. | |
| Oh, I'm sure you had a good reason. | |
| I just thought it was really funny that it was just like, oh, I can only put half of my... I can only put half of my attention into this question right now. | |
| It's such a canned response. | |
| Cute people aren't stupid. | |
| Looks like the College of Congress did it again. | |
| What a bunch of... Oh, I'm talking to those clowns! | |
| Yeah. | |
| Um... | |
| Lost Jack asks, do you want to use the secret cabal to make lots of money? | |
| I was curious with the whole adrenochrome thing. | |
| I went to look and it is a pretty simple molecule. | |
| Just tell the cabal to forward $10 million for a chemical plant that I'll make kilos of the stuff for them. | |
| I think they don't like it. | |
| So we'd want them to send money to get us to not make it, right? | |
| Uh, no, Adrenochrome is the ultimate. | |
| Kabal loves Adrenochrome. | |
| They can't get enough of it. | |
| Yeah, Kabal loves it. | |
| I'm sorry, I flipped it in my head. | |
| I thought we would get the Q idiots to pay us to make Adrenochrome for them. | |
| No, no. | |
| We're going to be the Cabal's private makers of adrenochrome. | |
| Well, to answer the first part of the question, yes, we would love to use the Cabal to make a ton of money. | |
| That would be great. | |
| But as for your money-making scheme, I don't think it's going to work, because anyone who's willing to pay for this stuff knows that the best, freshest, greatest adrenochrome comes out of the body of terrified children. | |
| And there's no way to make it in a lab and give it that same sort of je ne sais quoi taste to it. | |
| It's sort of like test tube meat. | |
| Like, yeah, it's technically meat, but it's missing that little something that lets me know that something died for it. | |
| It's like, I can't believe it's not butter. | |
| I can believe it's not butter, because I can taste the difference. | |
| I can't believe it's not harvested from the blood of scared children. | |
| That needs to be the actual label of adrenochrome you get from labs, which is aka all adrenochrome. | |
| What's our stock market ticker gonna be when we go public with that company? | |
| Because that name is a mouthful. | |
| Uh, I think it would probably be something involving, like, the word kid or something. | |
| Like, I don't know, kid S, or like S kid for like screaming kid. | |
| I don't know. | |
| No, just to fuck with him, it would be a lowercase d, then a capital Q, and then a lowercase b, so it looks like Q doing a double thumbs up. | |
| That sounds good to me. | |
| Thanks for your question. | |
| Yes. | |
| Oh, and by the way, I remember back in the Halcyon days of like even pre-Q adrenochrome lunacy, Highway Patrol anon claimed that they had busted an adrenochrome ring that had adrenochrome with a street value of a trillion dollars. | |
| That's the greatest LARP comment ever in the history of the channel. | |
| A trillion dollar drug bust. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So, the Grand Inquisitor A.I.S. | |
| Millard asks, Cabal members in the Q world are both Satan worshippers and worshippers of Moloch. | |
| So do Satan and Moloch have fights between them? | |
| Do they ever try to get Cabal members to one of their sides? | |
| Like, they don't seem like they should be team mates because there are bad guys that are Uh, bro. | |
| Sometimes bad guys that are territorial have to team up for the greater good. | |
| Or, I guess in this case, the greater bad. | |
| So, who knows? | |
| Who says they can't be buddies? | |
| Yeah, I mean, this is the thing is that when you are facing the might of Donald Trump and Q-Team and Michael Flynn, I mean, what could Satan and Moloch do other than ally to stop them? | |
| I mean, this is like the Sinister Six getting together to beat the shit out of Spider-Man. | |
| I mean, you're, you're just, you're just facing a foe out of your power level. | |
| So you got to find other bros to help you or else you're screwed. | |
| Yeah, it took six supervillains teaming up together to deal with that one teenage kid with all the powers of a spider. | |
| And I'm here to tell you, I've killed a lot of spiders in my day. | |
| Not one of them really fought back that great. | |
| The one that did almost get me got me when I was asleep like a fucking gutless coward. | |
| So it's like, shit, if it takes six supervillains to team up to defeat a guy who is, like, able to cling to a wall, then, you know, in the real world where the stakes are much higher and the enemies are that much more potent, of course it only makes sense that Lucifer and Moloch would join hands to usher in the promised era of Black Fire and, like, national healthcare and, like, Treating people better. | |
| Hmm. | |
| Weird. | |
| It's funny how when you look at it like this, it doesn't really seem like the devil's jam at all. | |
| Not aggressively hating gay and trans folk. | |
| I mean... I love the idea that Lucifer's hand is on the wheel trying to get to a national healthcare place where it's just like, yeah, I want all these damned souls, but I'm willing to wait for them to live another 30 years because now they can go to a doctor when they're sick. | |
| And she's like, that's a pretty slick move, devil. | |
| I don't know what the punchline is to that, but you're gonna get me with it, because it seems mighty confusing to me. | |
| I remember, like, Major Dad one day had a tweet about how, like, everything the Democrats want is a shycom plot, and, like, one of those things was, like, universal health care, and it's, like, the Chinese communists are, like, first we give the Americans good health care, and then their country will fall, and it's just, it's, like, what, like, what is wrong with you people? | |
| Why do you people not want health care? | |
| And if you're a major dad, can't you go to the VA? | |
| Aren't you on, like, socialized medicine anyways? | |
| Yeah, it depends on how long he didn't actually serve for. | |
| All right, Sarge. | |
| I don't know if you're familiar with this podcast, but you're not supposed to bring any sort of, like, actual knowledge to the table. | |
| Like, we're all supposed to be idiots. | |
| So how dare you levy your military service knowledge to know that maybe Maybe that's true. | |
| Sarge talking about the military. | |
| How dare you? | |
| I know. | |
| Yeah, your name is ironic. | |
| Like if anybody ever called me tiny or if anybody ever called Mike handsome. | |
| Boo! | |
| Yeah, that's right. | |
| Nobody saw it coming because it was totally out of nowhere for literally no reason. | |
| Just throwing a heater over the plate at Mike Raines. | |
| Much deserved for me. | |
| I deserve this. | |
| I mean, I... Hey, people photoshop my head on people's bodies all the time. | |
| This is my life now, is accepting my ugly hideousness for all the world to see. | |
| So, I might as well take it from everybody. | |
| I appreciate it. | |
| So, that wraps up our listener questions for this week. | |
| So, because I've been derelict previously, I need to start actually being a good boy and thanking all the people that have actually supported us on Patreon and have taken care of us by doing what we ask at the start of the show and actually giving us their hard-earned money in support of what we are doing. | |
| Ambushing Mike right now with this petition of mine. | |
| Petition to make our Patreons certified beautiful babies. | |
| All of our listeners are beautiful babies, but the ones that give us money are certified beautiful babies. | |
| This petition is approved, and I will accept it. | |

| Certified beautiful baby. | |
| Certified beautiful baby. | |
| I don't want the people who are not paying us to think that they are not beautiful or babies. | |
| They are still both of those. | |
| They are still my beautiful babies. | |
| But these people have achieved a higher level of beautiful babydom. | |
| And in the future, if people want to give us more money, I can invent even higher tiers. | |
| VIP beautiful baby. | |
| VIP deluxe beautiful baby. | |
| Platinum beautiful baby. | |
| It's gonna happen! | |

| Thank you so very much for doing that for us. | |
| Stephan M., Scott S., Sean R., NH, and Mindy, who are some level of Certified Beautiful Baby that I don't have verbiage for, but I'm sure Elle will figure that out next month when we go over the roles at the end of the month as well. | |
| They can be clarified beautiful babies, which doesn't sound very good, but if you've ever had clarified butter, tell me that shit's not dope. | |
| Let's be real. | |
| But no, all joking aside, we really appreciate everybody who is supporting the podcast, either just by listening, or for those people who have the extra money to throw our way. | |
| You really do make a difference. | |
| You're helping us get our equipment in order. | |
| Hopefully the podcast sounds better now than it did when we started, and that's sort of like the proof-oh-the-puddin' that you guys are making a difference. | |
| You know, it is sort of humbling that like routinely our podcasts are starting to get up around, you know, four or five hundred listens. | |
| And that means that we are experiencing growth. | |
| So do what you can to get the word out and help us out any further. | |
| Finally, we have two people that have actually gone to the $20 tier that are the literal titans of the podcast that are carrying us on their backs. | |
| Wow. | |
| Wait, wait, wait. | |
| I seem to recall asking if we were done, Mr. Mike. | |
| I didn't hear you. | |
| Are these people donating in MediaRes? | |
| Is this happening right now? | |
| Yes. | |
| Breaking donation news. | |
| It literally just happened. | |
| No. | |
| But, uh, the two people that are on this, on this exalted tier, which is the George Soros tier, they are actually working hand in hand with the man who's destroying the world. | |
| Leanne Oh and the Miami Dolphins quarterback. | |
| I appreciate it very much, and I hope you actually keep your job from Ryan Fitzpatrick. | |
| Although, after what happened last week, that seems kind of dicey. | |
| But I hope you're a good quarterback in the future, Tua, and I hope you keep giving us $20 a month, because that'd be wonderful. | |
| And if you actually want to give me your real name, because you're actually not Tua, that would be fine also. | |
| You don't know who's Natua. | |
| You don't know how far your reach goes. | |
| I have no idea. | |
| We could be one of the favorite podcasts of the quarterback of the Miami Dolphins. | |
| I feel like during the role there was like one person who was like Jennifer G or whatever. | |
| That could be Jennifer Garner. | |
| You don't know? | |
| This is possible. | |
| You do make a good point. | |
| Wouldn't that be delightful? | |
| Yeah. | |
| She's a lovely actor. | |
| Yes. | |
| And she shills for Capital One. | |
| So if Capital One, if you're listening, we would love to shill for your credit card. | |
| Oh yeah, I feel like we haven't done that bit in a while. | |
| We need to get back to appealing to anyone who might listen. | |
| It's part of our overall shilling plans to just be like, please support the podcast! | |
| Oh god, we don't care who it is! | |
| MyPillow, I know we've said some terrible things about you on the record, but if you want to give us that money, I'm sure that pillow is probably pretty good. | |
| If MyPillowGuy or TheOverstockGuy want to give us money and turn us into a hard right lunatic podcast, we have no scruples or credibility. | |
| None. | |
| We will sell out so hard and so fast. | |
| This podcast will take a 180 degree turn. | |
| Donald Trump will be the God Emperor. | |
| It'll be great. | |
| So if you guys, if we're thrown in the side of the right enough, and if we've dinged QAnon enough that you want to buy us off, We have low, low prices. | |
| It's incredible how pathetic we are. | |
| You have no idea. | |
| When we conceived the idea of Hellworld, the place that we have adventures in, I think we all sort of felt like it was, you know, a little more like The Road in terms of an apocalypse. | |
| But if you guys want us to sell out, the adventures that we could be having in Hellworld, it could be a beautiful, whimsical post-apocalypse, like Adventure Time. | |
| And the adventures we have in it could be wonderful. | |
| So, uh, you know, uh, any liberals who are still listening, this is, these are all lies. | |
| We're going to pretend like we're going to sell out. | |
| We're going to funnel all that money into like anti-child trafficking or whatever, except for the slice that we take to live like kings. | |
| All of the money that we get will actually go to our own grandiose decadence and Planned Parenthood so that we can continue getting the adrenochrome from the aborted babies. | |
| It'll be great that way. | |
| I feel like I'm pretty close to a charity, personally. | |
| So if we sell out, I promise that a significant portion of that money will be going to charity. | |
| We really do appreciate all that support. | |
| Getting back to what I was saying before Mike interrupted me with even more glorious people that have been supporting us. | |
| Thanks everyone for listening. | |
| Please spread the word. | |
| Once again, if you have the money to pitch in and you're not yet, and you're thinking, damn, those guys are funny, or damn, those guys suck, and I hope that this tiny amount of money will make them shut up. | |
| Well, I can't promise that it will, but if you want to try, patreon.com slash pokerpolitics, or if you want to give your money to an actual anti-child endangerment and trafficking organization, you can donate to love146.org. | |
| We've been sort of like unofficially partnered with them since the beginning. | |
| Go ahead and give them your money to actually do the work that QAnon supporters claim to be doing. | |
| Yeah, do it, fools! | |
| On social media, you can find the captain of the boat, Mike Rains, on Twitter, at PokePolitics. | |
| You can find myself and Sarge on Twitter, at HellWorld, spelled with a Q instead of an O, L, and HellWorldSarge, respectively. | |
| And yeah, if you want to, if you're in Georgia or if you're not in Georgia and you want to make a difference there, just like always, we say tip your shekels in their direction if you can to try to tip the scales in the Democrats' favor, because my policy has always been vote blue, you cowards. | |
| Anything to add, Mr. Mike or Mrs. Sarge? | |
| No, that's it. | |
| I just wanted to mention real quick that Love 146 is the charity that QAnon Casualties, the QAnon, the support group on Reddit for people that are dealing with family members that have fallen into QAnon and have torn their families apart as a result. | |
| That was the charity that we decided to be a part of. | |
| So like that's like an extension of that is me promoting it on this podcast. | |
| Oh, hey! | |
| We've gotten, I think the last time I checked, we had over $1,200 that had been donated to Love 146 through the direct link that you can find In my profile on Twitter and also on the QAnon Casualties subreddit. | |
| So like that's like the kind of what we tried to do and why I'm doing it. | |
| Yeah, so and you know, it might not sound like a lot of money, but because it's just coming from, you know, the generous pockets of people during a global pandemic and all that, you know, every drop in the bucket counts. | |
| So if that drop is going into our particular bucket or the bucket of an organization that's going to help keep some kids out of danger, you know, either way is kosher with us. | |
| So, you know, if you have the extra money, just spread it around as your heart feels is appropriate. | |
| And, you know, try to do whatever good you can in the world with it. | |
| All right, so having taken care of all of our bookkeeping for the week, I think we're going to once again seize the reins and take us out of this one, as I've been doing now for probably about five minutes. | |
| So for another successful, if a little bit wake, a little bit wake, if a little bit late episode of the Adventures in Hellworld podcast, I am El, signing off for Sarge and Mr. Mike Rains. | |
| Good speed, Patriots. |
