	Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
	I am Mike Rains, a.k.a.
	Poker and Politics, and I am joined, as always, by Sarge.
	Hello from the internet.
	And the mysterious Elle.
	Hello, my beautiful babies.
	You can't see it, but I'm doing a trendy dab like youths do.
	Because you are very much of the youths, as it were.
	Oh, I am barely a teen.
	Oh god.
	How do you do, fellow kids?
	That'd be great.
	My secret identity revealed.
	L. Secretly, L11.
	Am I right?
	What letter of the alphabet is L?
	Because I know K is 11.
	I mean, that would make L12, right?
	It comes right after K?
	Am I getting my alphabet wrong?
	No, you're right.
	Nailed it.
	Boom.
	Never doubted myself for a second.
	Why do you know that off the top of your head?
	Rain Man?
	Uh, well, because in the alphabetic song it just, like, flows.
	It's J-K-L.
	I mean, it's not one of the breaks.
	I think you're talking about how you knew that K was number 12, not how I knew that L followed it.
	Oh, well, I know K is number 11, both because 311 got into a lot of controversy because people were saying that their name stood for KKK, because it was 311's.
	This episode's already off to a great start.
	We're really crushing it.
	Hey!
	3-11?
	We're going back in time!
	Yes, but there was a thing.
	There were people that would protest 3-11 concerts and call them racists.
	What?
	No, we're not!
	This is just a number.
	What the fuck?
	Mark Wahlberg.
	What?
	No!
	Yes, it was exactly that.
	Time is a stupid, racist, flat circle.
	Right.
	I mean, it was just it was just a really strange thing.
	All right.
	We got to play our content warning before we talk too much and accidentally heckin' bamboozle ourselves.
	We already dropped an F-bomb before the content warning, so we're already done.
	But here we go.
	There's a content warning anyways.
	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.
	Wow, we're really hitting the ground running with this one.
	We've already brought up racism.
	We're only like two minutes and 30 seconds in.
	It's incredible.
	Mike's here horning in on me and your business doing these like old school references.
	I mean, Mike can be in charge of all the 311 references if you want.
	I think 3.11 might be more obscure than Blade.
	Oh, I mean, 3.11 is certainly more obscure than Blade.
	I mean, fucking come on.
	Oh, they definitely are.
	And the other thing was, it was an attempted Q-proof.
	Was to fix the claim that you made that 11-3 would be the first marker that the cabal was going to get dropped.
	And obviously that was a date and then it didn't work out.
	But then one day when Kevin Clinesmith, the lawyer who got indicted by the Durham investigation, When his name came out, QAnon figured out that K is 11 and C is 3, alphanumerically.
	11-3!
	Boom.
	Q-proof.
	Nailed it.
	Some real smooth-brained geniuses.
	Yeah, so like, anything that can fit the pattern, they'll fucking just wedge it in there.
	So 3-11 is Q-confirmed?
	Yes, the 11-3 is Q confirmed, so I don't know.
	Mike, 3-11 is just 11-3 backwards.
	I can be Q too!
	Think mirror!
	You nailed it!
	Boom!
	Those guys are totally pilled.
	The real question is, what is the color of Q's energy?
	It's not amber, that's for sure.
	If anyone out there has any sort of guess as to what color Q's energy is, as per the 311 song about auras or whatever, go ahead, comment, add us on Twitter.
	Good reference, because I couldn't name another 311 song off the top of my head if you put a gun to it.
	Yeah, I mean, I asked my friend Google to even pull that one.
	It's like a Google.
	A little peek behind the curtain there.
	I Googled that reference.
	No, all the mystery is gone.
	What's that I hear in the distance?
	Is it Mike shilling?
	It is.
	It is Mike starting the shill process of the show.

	They are an anti-human trafficking organization that will actually remember that that's what they care about, unlike all the dangling car keys and other stuff that distracts QAnon and has them running over hither and yon to forget about the children that supposedly is QAnon's all about.
	And then, silence.
	Did Mike die?
	Is Mike dead?
	Nope.
	I live.
	I live, but I just figured that you were there for some pithy bon-hot that was going to be coming in after you.
	I didn't have anything in the tank for... I mean, I was just honoring your sincere plead for our listeners' help.
	Because we... You're super serious, lads, and this podcast is only possible because of listeners like you.
	We're super professional.
	Note my talking over L and this super professional segue to Q's in the News.
	Give me that bump.
	You got it, sir.
	What's everyone's favorite difficult been up to this past week?
	It's time for Q's in the News.
	Uh, so, uh... J-Line, Myanmar.
	That's how that's pronounced, right?
	Yes.
	Myanmar?
	I mean, I'm not actually sure.
	Like, I've actually heard it pronounced like that.
	I'm not sure if it's Myanmar, or Myanmar, or Meenmar.
	I've... I'm gonna go with CNN and Myanmar.
	Fair enough.
	I mean, that sounds like just as good of a guess as any other.
	J-Line, Myanmar.
	Yep.
	You know, so the crisis in Myanmar has erupted as the military has launched a coup against... All right, let me interrupt you real quick.
	The most recent crisis in Myanmar.
	Yes.
	I'm sure that all those, what are they, the Rohingya Muslims would just be like, hey, there done been a crisis in Myanmar.
	Yeah, Myanmar is, let's just say turbulent.
	Yes.
	So right now, the big story going on in Myanmar is that the civilian government has been overthrown by a military coup.
	The military, and stopping me if you've heard this before, has alleged election fraud in the previous election, and that in order to do things by the Constitution, they've initiated a coup, and they plan on only being in power for one year, wink wink, before something happens, and then they are totally legitimately going to give the country, the country's government back to the civilians, and it will all be cool, and it's all going to work out great.
	Yeah, so that weird sound everybody heard the other day was collectively every QAnon supporter getting aroused all at once, hearing about, oh my god, on the world stage, a military coup?
	The Myanmar constitution, that the military can legally do this, but only for one year, and that's why they're in times of turbulence.
	The military's supposed to be able to take over, but only for one year maximum.
	That also, I can tell you right now, that's Wall Street bets that's not happening.
	GameStunks!
	Well, that's a little bit of a preview for future cues in the news.
	Meanwhile, back to Dateline, Myanmar!
	So, despite knowing that this is like a big deal, I actually know very little about it.
	So, Mike, maybe you're a little more educated.
	How likely is it that the voter fraud in Myanmar is legitimate, unlike the voter fraud in America?
	Uh, all the election officials in Myanmar that are like the civilian election officials said it's all nonsense.
	That like, this is absolutely a, uh, it was a free and fair election that happened.
	The, basically the government that was elected that is the civilian government we have now crushed the political party that is basically the proxy for the military.
	And.
	Everything was above board and to the letter, and the military's claims are bullshit.
	But the military was just pissed that they lost.
	And the leader of Myanmar had gone out of her way to try to, like, placate the military.
	And as you had talked about, about the subjugation of the Muslims and stuff like that, that she was kind of like, hey, the military's just doing what you gotta do.
	Omelet, eggs, all that kind of stuff.
	So...
	They had people thought the military was like, cool, and that the civilian government was kowtowing to them enough.
	But as like the events of the past few days have shown, they didn't kowtow hard enough.
	And the military was like, you know what, we're just taking this over.
	We're done here.
	Boom.
	The government's ours, and we win and you lose.
	And So the big thing is, is so this happens, and then the Biden administration, which is a real thing that makes QAnon very sad, they came out and said, this is not cool.
	And we are going to be monitoring this closely and getting ready to do all the kind of stuff that America does when we want to start throwing our weight around and letting people know that we're the fucking king dicks of the world.
	Sanctions.
	Sanctions to choke the very throats of the people of Myanmar.
	Oh yeah, sanctions, and then maybe some drone strikes, all that good stuff.
	I mean, America's capable of all kinds of diplomatic freedom bringing.
	The latest military drone is just named sanctioned, so that way when the Biden administration says we're sending a shitload of sanctions Myanmar's way, everyone's happy.
	Yeah, exactly.
	We're gonna sanction the shit out of those people!
	You wouldn't believe how sanctioned those guys are gonna get!
	Oh man, sanctions for days.
	Man, Myanmar can't catch a break.
	I had to make sure I wasn't making this up.
	One of the big Rohingya refugee camps, this was like a year ago, they had to move out of the way of an elephant migration.
	The elephants kept migrating through all their refugee camps.
	That is...
	A wave of sanctions sent to Myanmar by neighboring nations.
	The elephant sanction.
	Pray those elephants through their country.
	Destroy those people's lives.
	Can you imagine how ridiculous an event that would be in the United States of America if it was just like, oh shit, this hobo camp had to pick up and move because of fucking elephants?
	Yeah, the Myanmar civilian government, the corrupt one that has now been removed due to the elephant scandal.
	Yeah, they built a bunch of refugee camps in the elephant migratory paths.
	I know that we have a content warning at the top of the podcast, but I should fucking clarify that even though we're making goofs, we're not making goofs at the expense of the poor refugees in Myanmar.
	These are geopolitical drone strikes and shit, and not at the expense of the suffering of those poor people.
	We're laughing so we don't cry.
	Yeah, it's just, I mean, can you imagine that happening, where you're, like, struggling, all those terrible things happening to you, and then elephants are, like, coming towards you, and you're like, really?
	Can life throw more shit at me?
	Is it even possible?
	Now I have to deal with goddamn elephants!
	Yeah, it's like, on top of everything else, fucking elephants?
	Come on!
	It's not like there's a pitch-perfect impersonation of somebody from that region of the world.
	That is definitely what a Rohingya Muslim from Myanmar sounds like.
	Spot on.
	These elephants are coming from the world!
	I repeat, that's definitely what a Muslim from Southeast Asia sounds like.
	Anyway, okay, so the military has taken over Myanmar's government, and it may actually be legal.
	I mean, I don't know.
	According to Sarge, their constitution allows for this.
	So, what do you think?
	So, like, what's popping off from here?
	Like, what happens when a country actually gets taken over by the military?
	So yeah, so basically, the president of Myanmar had been under house arrest for like 15 years, and then she was released, then became a political leader, got elected.
	Now she's basically back under house arrest.
	So are most of the rest of the civilian government.
	And the generals are claiming they're going to be doing everything fair and square and all this kind of stuff.
	They don't want the international community to come down on them, which they know is probably going to happen anyways.
	And So what is actually going to happen in the coming days and weeks, we don't know.
	What we do know is that QAnon loves this shit.
	They are so happy about the idea of a military coup against the civilian government.
	And they're talking about how... The night of Islamophobia.
	Oh god, exactly.
	And so now they're talking about how they hope that, like, The Myanmar example is kind of something that America can strive towards.
	The potential for a military coup here would be just great.
	Totally missing the fact that they're like, this is a new junta.
	Yes, they just want a military junta to really reinstall Trump as president, and they don't care how illegal, violent, or terrible that would be.
	I've seen, and then people are also calling what's happening in America a military coup.
	I saw like one QAnon promoter had a photo that was like, there was one photo of all the troops out in front of the Capitol building, and then a photo of like the Myanmar military.
	And they were like, one of these is a foreign occupation of an illegitimate leader.
	The other one is Myanmar.
	And then...
	And then another QAnon promoter posted like this on Telegram today. And he said,
	now the American public has seen another country's military arrest its illegitimate leaders and claim
	election fraud, showing connections to the very same people who are accused of election fraud over
	here, promising an election redo, and then handing power back over to the people. I love the idea of
	us doing an election redo, Biden winning again, and then QAnon being like, oh, well, you know,
	we had a do over and Biden won again. So now fair share. We got to stand down guys.
	I believe that America is going to start.
	patterning itself after Myanmar to begin with.
	Like, how long has the United States gazed with envious eyes at Myanmar?
	And now, finally, it is time to act on those impulses and try to build ourselves up to be more like our beloved foreign nation of Myanmar.
	We did that a couple hundred years ago with the Native Americans.
	They were called reservations.
	It was a terrible crime.
	So, and then he continued on saying, how many other nations will have to show the same result before it wakes the libbies up?
	I love the idea that liberals are just like, you know what I want?
	Not to be in power.
	I want a military coup that topples the government that I got elected so that Donald Trump can come back in.
	How does a liberal ever wake up to the idea that it would be good if Trump were president again?
	Don't worry, Mike.
	You'll find out.
	It's Orange February, baby.
	Trump's coming back.
	Better believe it.
	We're going to oust our false Biden president and reinstate Donald J. Trump.
	But in the meantime, the Biden presidency, so-called presidency, gets to do whatever the fuck they want.
	How's QAnon dealing with the current state of not-my-president Biden enacting all of his big dick energy powers to get shit done?
	They have continued to believe that he is not actually the president.
	What's really funny is they have gone through a series of like checklists for like things that a real president has happened to them.
	They love claiming that the military doesn't salute Biden ever, which is in no way, shape or form true.
	When Biden got on Marine One to go to Walter Reed Hospital, The Marine that stands guard over Marine One gave him a salute.
	And the military like being subordinate to the civilian leader of our government is kind of like the whole point of fucking America as it were.
	So that happened.
	They're very anxious about Biden ever riding on Air Force One.
	Like the day Biden decides to like fly to ye old American city here.
	Uh, is going to be a dark day in QAnon's existence because Biden will be appropriating the use of Air Force One for that and like somehow that proves he's really, really the president.
	Whereas if he doesn't get on that plane, he's totally not the president.
	Okay, time out.
	I already know the answer to my question.
	Do they understand that Air Force One is just the call sign of any plane the president's on?
	It's not that actual jet.
	Whatever plane the president is on, that is its call sign.
	It is not any one plane.
	There are Two Air Force Ones in regular service, and they're the only model of that plane that can do mid-air refueling.
	But if you watch the amazing Harrison Ford movie, Air Force One, when he moves from the the liner plane that is typically Air Force One to the Air Force like plane that rescues him, they change their call sign audibly to we are now Air Force One because it's the call sign.
	It's not the plane.
	Yeah, that's the big applause line at the end of the movie.
	They're like, we are now Air Force One!
	And the people are like... I mean, not for nothing, but I'm pretty sure the big pop-off line in that movie is, get off my plane!
	I'm only doing this movie for the money.
	That's not the way I do all movies.
	I'm Harrison Ford, and I don't give a fuck about the artistry.
	I'm just in it for the check.
	Oh, God.
	You want me to act like this guy in this suit's a dog?
	Yeah, I'll pet him.
	Is Air Force One a Tom Clancy movie?
	Is that a Jack Ryan jam?
	I'm pretty sure it is.
	Yeah, who's got my check?
	I want to get paid and get the fuck out of here.
	I don't care as much for it as an actor, but man, he gives no fucks.
	No.
	Every interview ever, just that guy just being like, so what was it like working on Star Wars?
	Well, I got paid, and that's all that counts.
	Fucking lasers and a big ruggie man called Chewbacca, whatever, fuck it, give me my money.
	If you want a journey in incomprehensibility, watch Cowboys vs. Aliens and Harrison Ford just phoning it in and talking in a low... I didn't even remember I did that one!
	You're way too loud to be modern Harrison Ford.
	He speaks in a grumbly whisper.
	I'm enjoying Harrison Ford being like both like half senile and also like half Brad Neely from Wizard People.
	Every impression I do is like half Brad Neely.
	That guy's like my hero.
	Anyway, I teased it earlier, but I think it's finally time that we get around to talking about the hottest story of the past week, and that is GameStonks.
	Of course QAnon's got its sticky little fingers in them GameStonks.
	Can't help but ride that rocket to the moon.
	Diamond hands don't sell.
	Everyone's got a hodl right now, because we are going to the moon, baby.
	What happened was, is the GameStop thing hit, and then QAnon saw that this was the kind of thing where they could situate themselves in a sort of underdog versus the corrupt establishment form of argument, and like, we're the good guys taking down the evil guys.
	And obviously Wall Street is the ultimate bad guy.
	So we've got to tear them down, even though they had their guy in power for the last four years.
	And he didn't crush Wall Street for some really weird reason.
	And yet, that became the new motif.
	And they would be talking about GameStop stock, not as just like a way to get rich quick.
	They were talking about the fact that if we held enough and we triggered all these squeezes, they were talking about a thing called the Gamma Squeeze.
	And if we could initiate the gamma squeeze, it might like bring down the entire American economy and crush the cabal.
	The idea that GameStop had that kind of cachet and even if there were that many shorts of GameStop stock out there,
	that that could happen was like so high in the sky and so diluted.
	But QAnon was in it to win it.
	They were totally of the belief that we can do this.
	We can literally crash the economy and save the world by, I don't know, putting everybody at the poorhouse and breaking society itself.
	That they were all in on this.
	And There was Neon Revolt.
	He's the failed screenwriter from New Jersey who's trying to get back into QAnon and selling his book and being a total dirtbag.
	And like, fuck that guy.
	He was telling people, don't ever sell!
	Holding is the only thing that matters, which seems like the ultimate thing you tell a sucker in a pump and dump.
	And like, it was just so predatory and scummy what these people were doing.
	And then they got on AMC as well, obviously, because that was the other Wall Street Bets thing.
	And Wall Street Bets is now like crawling with QAnon and all kinds of other unsavory characters that are pushing this stuff.
	So it went from being just like a savvy bet on a subreddit about taking a position against like a position that the hedge funds have taken into being like VIVA LA REVOLUCION!
	Which is obviously not going to happen because GameStop does not have that kind of power.
	And then, uh, because... Can you imagine if that was what finally destroyed the world economy was GameStop?
	That would be great.
	It would be so great if, like, that was it.
	Like, people are just looking at this shit and they're like, really?
	GameStop was what did us in?
	Like, no one saw that coming.
	Like, fuck.
	Goddamnit.
	Um...
	So, QAnon, of course, has to pore over the prophecies of their absentee messiah, Q. Gotta consult the literature.
	Yes, you gotta go to where the good news is.
	Yes, you have to go to the Holy Quibble and find the good news.
	Uh, I've said that so many times.
	I missed it, I don't know, it just hit me.
	Yeah, but the, uh, sort of poured over it, and even though Q had never said GameStop, which I know is really fucking shocking, but Q did often repeatedly say things like, this is not a game, game over, and so on and so forth, so 2% bonus on trades with the Pro Membership Card.
	Everybody thought that Q drop was really weird out of context, but now it makes so much sense.
	Oh god, Q was like, hey guys, get in the Robin Hood.
	Power to the players.
	So yeah, so the best part was because Q loved saying you're watching a movie and all that kind of horse shit, they smashed Game Over to you're watching a movie to being GameStop and AMC stock.
	Like boom, there you go.
	Q predicted all of it.
	Q sees everything.
	He's literally Doctor Strange just scrying the time streams.
	And guiding us in his path.
	And it's like, no!
	No one was guided by Q to any of this crap!
	You're just Notre Damasingue fucking retconning everything he said to fit what actually fucking happened.
	It's trash.
	It's cold reading.
	In reverse.
	It's dumb.
	But it keeps them happy and it keeps them engaged in their dumb terrorist LARP.
	So that's what they're doing.
	Q, where's Nostradamus since the first Nostradamus?
	Just as accurate.
	Oh, God, yeah.
	The pinpoint accuracy of Q in all of his endless musings and predictions that he's made over the course of history.
	If I was supposed to believe that anybody can properly predict the future, wouldn't I be placing my bet on, like, Elon Musk, whose, like, value has tripled over the past eight months or whatever?
	Like, that seems like the sort of move people make when they can see the future.
	Just babbling online about stuff that is demonstrably and easily disproven.
	Demonstrably untrue and easily disproven, I should say, is not where I would want to go in terms of people I'm believing to lead me to the promised land with their special eyes.
	What's really funny is... My brand!
	Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
	I knew you were going to do it.
	Yeah, but uh...
	What I was going to say is Elon Musk was actually brought up in a few Q drops because Q loves using initials.
	He referenced Elon Musk as E-M in Q drop 571.
	He was like, begins with at Jack, M-Z, which is Mark Zuckerberg, E-S, which I don't know, J-B, who is whoever that evil person is, and then E-M, which is Elon Musk.
	And he, Oh, JB is Jeff Bezos, obviously.
	And then he's like, do you know what we know?
	Do you know that we see all?
	Do you know that we hear all?
	Fear the storm!
	No one who's playing the game gets a free pass!
	Nobody queue!
	So he's called out Ilan before and there was a photo shoot of Grimes when she was pregnant and she had like all kinds of like weird Drawings and graphics painted on her pregnant belly, and QAnon people were like... I wanted to remind you that she went to art school.
	She was like, you know, I went to art school.
	Watch me draw on my belly, because I have such an artistic soul up in my body.
	Yeah, so Lizzy Wizzy was doing the thing with her pregnant belly, and a bunch of QAnon people were like, look at this satanic stuff that Grimes scrawled on her tum-tum!
	So, eventually QAnon comes to the conclusion that everybody's in on it.
	That's the one big problem with this movement, is that if you have a hero, at some point they're a baddie.
	The day they figure out that Trump's a baddie will be a truly horrifying one.
	Elon was a hero, and now they're trying to figure out if he's a good guy or not.
	And they're eventually going to figure out that he's not, unless they decide that he is, because QAnon is fluid, and today's good guy is tomorrow's bad guy.
	I mean, they probably really loved him when he accused all those people that got trapped in that fucking mine or whatever of being pedophiles.
	He accused the people of trying to rescue The people trapped in the mine.
	Oh, sorry.
	Yes, the rescue workers are the ones who are pedophiles.
	Yeah.
	Why use these pedophiles when I can invent a super sub to do it?
	It's like, wow.
	All right.
	Come down there, Reed Richards.
	And, like, literally the thing he invented was pretty much just a coffin you added water to.
	It was just like, yeah, you put this in the water, and then it fills with water, and you die.
	So, great.
	Oh, you didn't- He was being fucking super generous, sending a bunch of coffins to those poor trapped minors.
	Yes.
	And he's like, oh, you don't like my non-watertight coffins?
	Fuck you, pedophiles!
	And it's just like, thanks, Elon.
	I'm sorry I didn't put enough space in there for you to diddle kids, you monsters!
	I'm like, holy shit.
	Elon, calm down.
	People are about to die.
	So QAnon can't figure out if this guy who made his family fortune on apartheid gym mines is a good guy or a bad guy?
	Oh, I think if... I won't give credit to the QAnon promoter, Joe M. He did vanish off the face of the earth on January 20th.
	That was the one guy who actually did take the somber Bruce Banner at the end of every Hulk episode, walk out of the town, and call it a day.
	That's the real gamma squeeze.
	Yeah, exactly.
	See, that's a multi-layered reference, because you have to think about it for a second before you realize.
	You can't see me shaking my head.
	Yeah, they can't see that, Sarge.
	This is a fucking audio medium.
	You have to voice your displeasure with me.
	I get to hear it.
	I get to relish in the audio of you just being disapproving of my jokes.
	I loved Elle's onion-like reference.
	Just so many layers to it.
	It was incredible.
	Anyway, so I guess what we're getting at is invest in Tesla, if you're going to invest in anything.
	Or, you can invest in where the real money is, and that is physical silver, baby.
	Yeah!
	Tell us a little bit about physical silver.
	So, physical silver has been a thing that conspiracy theorists have been talking about for decades.
	I was listening to Bill Cooper after the Oklahoma City bombing talking about how the fiat currency, the dollar, is going to implode shortly and you have to buy precious metals because that is the currency of the future.
	And now we are like 20, 30 odd years after Oklahoma City.
	And we're still talking about this.
	We're still talking about how the dollar is going to lose all of its value any day now.
	And you have to get into precious metals in order to save yourself from the coming economic apocalypse.
	QAnon is all over the map on this shit.
	They don't know what they think they're going to get out of this, but it's going to be something.
	Like, in some fashion, some way, they're going to get a payoff.
	And one of the things- That's like a QAnon supporters jam.
	The constant edging.
	Oh, something's going to happen.
	I'm going to stockpile all this physical silver, and then at some point, oh baby, it's coming.
	Oh baby, it's anytime now.
	We all know the currency of the future is bottle caps.
	Yes, that's what our media has told us.
	But the Terrorism apocalypse edging of QAnon is also, on another level, it is this idea that they're going to create a silver squeeze, that there is physical silver and then there's what is called like the paper silver, the certificates that say you own silver.
	There's a team up combo in Marvel where you do gamma squeeze into silver squeeze and that shit is crazy.
	It's a 50-50, you can bounce the next guy into it.
	Yeah, it depends on which order you do them in, because one's an OTG and one's a wall bounce.
	So you can set up your combo strings either way, but it depends on which one you want to be your capper, because you can't really loop.
	Can we get more obscure?
	I don't know.
	Let's find out.
	We absolutely can.
	But, um... Turbo T!
	You can't just shout the name... Can we get any more obscure than this?
	I'm just gonna yell Turbo T. I told you last week, you can't just shout the name of an old show and call it a reference.
	It's close enough.
	I'm gonna let it slide.
	If you keep giving me the business, I'm gonna get extra hot, and boy howdy, you know what's gonna happen then.
	I'm gonna turn into a race car, then you'll know what's up.
	There you go, there's your fucking reference.
	TURBO G!
	So, uh, I know they're trying to get real quick, which is something that they always
	want to do in these dumb, uh, speculative, stark nonsense events.
	I mean, that does fit their modus operandi.
	Getting rich quick off of physical silver is a pirate move, and pirates are on the ocean.
	Boom.
	Yes.
	Help me out.
	Can you squeeze a commodity?
	I didn't think you could.
	I didn't think you were short a commodity.
	Well, this is the thing, is that what they believe is that there is a stock that goes by the stock sign SLV, and I believe that's a company that trades in silver and stuff like that.
	Yeah, it's iShares Silver Trust and they're of the belief that if they hoard enough physical silver that this stock has been shorted enough that they can create a squeeze on that actual stock that will explode the value of that stock and then it will create a positive feedback loop and explode the value of silver and this will just continue and silver will go to the moon!
	And of course, again, you have on the one side, the people are just trying to get rich quick off of the quote-unquote, the silver squeeze.
	And then you have like the lunatic anarchists who think if they buy up all the silver, they'll bankrupt the American economy, bring down the global cabal, and something, something, they become the emperors of the world and install Donald Trump as their president.
	Aren't there a faction of people that think that an apocalypse is coming and that somehow stockpiling physical precious metals like gold and silver is the way to go about having currency in the new world?
	Didn't we lose a mutual acquaintance to that sort of thinking?
	To a llama farm or whatever?
	Like an alpaca farm in Peru?
	Yes, we absolutely did.
	And that was a long time before Q had their fingers in any part of it.
	This is ages ago, and the physical silver thing is practically universal in conspiracy lore.
	I remember watching this incredible video back in the day about how our society was eventually going to collapse, but this was a good thing, and they showed this graphic of America And they were talking about how America was going to splinter off into hundreds of city-states and whatnot, will you?
	And it was going to be great because each different city-state could experiment with their own form of government and find out what works for them.
	So you could have one group that was a socialist commune and another group that was a capitalist dictatorship.
	And it would all be great.
	It would just be people experimenting and having fun.
	And the best part about this whole nonsense storyline At the very beginning of it, this guy knew how impossible all of this shit was going to be, so he threw in one little throwaway line of, and we'll all agree not to invade each other!
	And then just went full bore, straight ahead, and just let that one line be his line of demarcation for why there wouldn't be war, and why there wouldn't be fighting over resources.
	Because we would just agree not to do that.
	So, like, when... I don't think anybody's ever considered that before.
	It never occurred to us that we could just agree not to war with each other.
	Yes.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Just be like, hey, Russia, you cool?
	Are you cool, Russia?
	Chad, you wanna be cool?
	Be cool?
	Everyone's cool.
	Be cool.
	I just love the idea of, like, your commune, whatever it is, is, like, near where the good farmland is, and has, like, a river that provides the running water.
	You have all the necessities for, like, a good life.
	And the capitalist dictatorship is, like, just onto, like, horrible scapland.
	Where they basically don't have anything to live off of.
	And they're just going to be cool with it.
	They're not going to be like, hey, you know what?
	We need that farmland.
	We need that water.
	So we're going to grab our guns and take the farmland and take the water from you.
	That's how every game of Civilization I've ever played works.
	They're just like, we're cool.
	Yeah.
	Especially Gandhi.
	Gandhi loves being cool.
	He's the coolest guy there is.
	Gandhi, the most friendly, laid-back, relaxed dude in civilization.
	Never starts a war for no goddamn reason and starts killing everybody.
	I know QAnon's based on the classics of conspiracy theory, but it's good to know that they're keeping alive things like belief that you need to hoard physical silver and that you can short it and just not understanding any goddamn thing.
	So.
	They're bringing it all back.
	There was an artist's rendering of what Amazon's new headquarters is going to look like.
	And it's this weird, swirly tower.
	And immediately they started making references to the Tower of Babel and how this is obviously a symbolic of Amazon worshipping non-appropriate gods, and they're now throwing it in our faces.
	Non-appropriate gods is a great, great phrase.
	Hey, this is how this works!
	So, um... Jeff Bezos is going to announce his plans to build a new mansion that's just straight up the Eye of Providence.
	That would be great!
	Using proprietary technology from Elon Musk, we do have the penthouse level of this building floating magically above the lower portion.
	Yes, with a giant baleful eye gazing upon all of us in its warmth and benevolence.
	That's why he stepped out as Amazon's CEO, because they caught wind of that and they were just like, dawg, we can't be associated with this.
	You're really giving up the game here, buddy.
	Yeah.
	Oh, because Q a million years ago told them to track the resignations of CEOs and other people leaving like major corporations, they were so excited when Bezos said he was stepping down as CEO of Amazon.
	Because now his arrest is obviously imminent and he's going to go down.
	He's going to go down for all the terrible crimes he's done.
	Oh man, I love that Q-Rubes are so gullible that you could just give them such an open-ended thing like that and let them figure it out for themselves.
	It'd be like if Q released another drop, it was just like, Beware the outcome of the forthcoming sporting event!
	And then like, you know, the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, they're just like, We told ya!
	Like, Q predicted it!
	The event had an outcome!
	Open your eyes, sheeple!
	And it's just like, yeah, okay.
	Hey, I'm gonna make this clear to you.
	If the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl this Sunday, Kansas City KC 11-3, it's the first marker.
	Storms upon us.
	Boom.
	Storm wave.
	It's happening.
	11-3.
	11-3!
	Kansas City!
	Boom!
	Patrick Mahomes, the ultimate patriot, even though he's a chief.
	I mean, it works out.
	Which would be especially crazy because he's facing off in the Super Bowl against the ultimate Patriot, asterisk, former.
	The ultimate cheater?
	Oh, dinglish.
	Gross.
	But yeah, so that kind of open-ended nonsense is what Q thrives on.
	Just being able to spitball and make things up and just Push the problem further down the line, and just keep looking for the old stuff, going back to the Illuminati stuff, going back to physical silver, going back to symbolism.
	Just keep repeating the old stuff that got you your dopamine hit back in the day, and then reiterate it over and over again.
	The Super Bowl Halftime Show, I'm really hoping the weekend brings the Satanism this weekend.
	Because we've been so sorely lacking in overt satanic imagery these past few Super Bowls.
	When Lady Gaga did the halftime show, and she's like the biggest satanist in the history of the universe, Alex Jones came out and said it was going to be a satanic ritual.
	I mean, everyone was just chomping at the bit.
	And then her halftime show had so little satanic imagery, according to the Illuminati game that these people have constructed over decades.
	Yeah, like, I mean, was her catching the old pigskin part of her satanic ritual?
	Because that seemed like as wholesome as fucking American Pie to me.
	Like, the thing, yeah, it was like so hilarious, because they were looking, because there's like so many different things that you can do.
	Katy Perry was incredibly satanic.
	She wrote it on a robot line, it was awesome.
	Lady Gaga is a Jewess, and they hate that.
	Oh.
	They also hate the cat that you've just run over with your chair.
	I think the cat was offended by the use of the term Jewish.
	Yikes.
	What a crunchy word that is and probably not a cool one to use.
	We apologize for Sarge letting his anti-Semitism show.
	But what happened, so Katy Perry rides on a lion, and it's a Bible passage that Satan is as a lion.
	She was wearing a dress that was all fire, so that was elementalism.
	That was anti-God.
	They were talking about how her effect was that of the Whore of Babylon.
	There was so much stuff that they were just hammering into that Katy Perry halftime show.
	They got so much dumb content out of it that when Lady Gaga showed up they were just like, We're going to have hours of content.
	And then her show was just so just a regular performance.
	I watched a video that was 35 minutes long.
	They got to Lady Gaga's performance in the 28th minute and then they just kind of like went over it a little bit and then they just ended.
	They literally pretaped their video ahead of time and then just were like, oh crap.
	I got nothing to say about this.
	Darn.
	Like, on a scale of one to ten, Lady Gaga's Satanism level was like a two.
	It was just very uninspired.
	What about Shakira?
	Probably because the Illuminati is bullshit.
	Barely even worth mentioning.
	In fact, we should probably stop talking about it.
	You know, Novus Ordo Seclorum.
	No big deal.
	Nothing to see here.
	Anyway, what's going on with Marjorie Taylor Greene?
	Our Lady Marge is right now about to face a vote from the full floor of the House of Representatives to strip her of her status as being on various committees in Congress.
	When you get newly elected into Congress, generally speaking, the leadership of your party assigns you to various committees.
	That hopefully square with what you're all about.
	Right now, the big thing in the Senate is Bernie Sanders is now going to be head of the Finance Committee, and Elizabeth Warren is going to be part of the Banking Committee.
	That's the stuff that matters to you, I love Warren being on that committee.
	Man, that speaks to the progressive liberal in me.
	Something fearsome.
	Get them, Warren!
	You kill those bankers.
	Like, you know, not like an actual call to violence, but kill their wallets with your legislation or whatever.
	Yeah.
	And so they put Marjorie Taylor Greene on the education committee, which like really horrified everybody because she's a Sandy Hook truther and also like basically anti-education as it were.
	And there's a video of her harassing the Parkland survivor.
	Oh yeah, David Hogg's Twitter feed has been particularly spicy as of late because he is the Parkland survivor that has earned the ire of Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	And so the Democrats asked the Republicans to please remove her from those committees.
	That committee and the others that she's on.
	They said no.
	They went to Marjorie and asked her to step down from those committees.
	She said no.
	So now the Democrats are going ahead full tilt with just having a vote from the full House to remove her, which they're allowed to do.
	And it's going to be very interesting because now you're going to have Republicans on the record saying that they're in favor of this woman wielding more power than just being a member of Congress.
	So, how many Republicans are going to be like, yes, I'm in favor of the Q lady helping to mold and shape legislation vis-a-vis education and her other committees?
	And how many of them are going to walk that plank?
	It's going to be very interesting to see how many of them view QAnon as a voter base they can't offend.
	And they have to be like, no, we stand with Marjorie, the crazy conspiracy lady.
	So, do you have any predictions about how their vote is going to go down?
	Like, how many people are going to stand by this crazy person?
	Given the fact that over 100 representatives filed objections for the Electoral College on January 6th, before the riots and everything broke out, it seems likely we're probably going to get around that number of ayes in favor of her supporting her right to be on these committees.
	It does feel like there is, like, a part of the Republican Party that wants to distance itself from QAnon, that wants to let people know, hey, this isn't what we're all about.
	We're, like, trying to be, like, the party of sensible conservatism.
	Small government, lower taxes, less regulations, blah-de-blah, the right to carry, anti-abortion.
	And then there's just the half of, like, Republicans that are just like, you know what?
	Crazy Town's where we live, and we're proud of it, so screw it!
	We're okay with QAnon and we're going to court QAnon for their vote.
	And that's very worrisome that we're at this point where people are making a calculated bet on if QAnon is a good thing or not electorally.
	So, let's say that the vote goes her way and it proves that enough Republicans still have the back of this openly QAnon politician, and therefore she has that kind of juice.
	Where do you think that puts her on the pantheon of non-Q, Q devotees, the high priests of Q, like your Lin-Manuel Wood or whatever?
	I can't say that guy's first name without thinking about Mr. Miranda.
	I mean, the guy's just all over the place, what can I say?
	So where do you think this puts her in terms of on power level with people like Lin Wood and other big-time Q people that aren't just in it for the grift?
	The people that are using QAnon to actually kind of elevate themselves beyond just making the quick buck She definitely will become one of the bigger, what I call real-life QAnon people, because you have Lin Wood, who is now undoubtedly, given the amount of traffic his telegram gets, that guy is without peer in the QAnon community as being the biggest audience attraction, the biggest draw.
	He's the Jim Jones of QAnon now.
	He is.
	If you're looking for the leader of QAnon, it's pretty much Lin Wood at this point.
	He's Quim-Quones!
	Oh god, that's so brutal.
	He's the leader of the Quim-Quones cult.
	Yeah, but I mean, all of the stuff that he posts on Telegram, He posted this uh this is from today uh this was like at uh two hours ago just two hours ago he posted some random thing that i haven't even read it yet it could have been like i really i really like bagels they're delicious who knows what it actually says but
	I was going to enjoy my bagel and then an elephant charged into my room.
	It was fucking crazy.
	Signed, Lin Wood.
	Exactly.
	But Lin Wood has this post from two hours ago, and it has over 176,000 views on Telegram.
	I mean, he has such a massive audience.
	And the main QAnon channel on Telegram, that's like, meet all of your online QAnon bros, the thought makers and influencers who they have like a collective and they like post under a name that I'm not giving out because I don't want to give this channel traffic.
	But that channel, Has a post from roughly the same time as Lin Wood's post and that post has 25,000 views.
	So Lin Wood has like seven times the amount of traffic on his channel as the big QAnon channel has on their channel.
	So it is not... Have you checked recently to see... So what sort of social media pull does MTG have here?
	Which, I mean, let me just say up front, it is unfortunate that her name has been shortened to MTG, because as a Magic the Gathering player for 20 years, that's going to be a rough transition for me.
	I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm always about bitching about MTG, but it is usually one with much lower stakes.
	Yeah, I was gonna let people behind the curtain in our show notes.
	I keep looking up and seeing MTG's bullshit, and I immediately was just like, why are we talking about Magic the Gathering on this podcast?
	There are too many unplayable cards in Kultheim Limited.
	That's what we're here to talk about now.
	Fuck MTG!
	That's how I feel about all of these things as well.
	Marjorie is allowed on Polite Society because she is, thanks to the glory of the Great American Experiment, that is democracy, a sitting member of Congress.
	And her Twitter pinned tweet is from January 7th.
	It says, retweet if you still have real Donald Trump's back.
	That has over a hundred and thirty-five thousand likes.
	Her Twitter feed has three hundred and thirty-six thousand followers and I'll just like scroll down and find a post from three hours ago has about 2400 likes.
	So if Linwood is the pope of the new Q, MTG is a cardinal.
	She's like right up there.
	She could be next in line depending on how it breaks.
	Oh, yeah.
	And the other thing is, like, what does she do, like, vis-a-vis aspiring for higher office?
	Like, if she ran for president, like, my God, like, that would give her a massive leg up in what I've been talking about being like the Q primary in a possible 2020 presidential election.
	Because you're going to have, like, Anti-QAnon Republicans like John Kasich, Mitt Romney, people that are going to try to go for the statesman thing.
	And then you're going to have Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Howley, who are going to be the people that are going to try to pander to QAnon without being openly QAnon, but they're going to be like, you know, the Capitol riot wasn't that bad a thing, you know what I mean?
	And then you're just going to have, potentially, Marjorie Taylor Greene and General Flynn and maybe a Trump family member who are just going to finish all their speeches with, where we go one, we go all.
	Just full-blown, out-and-proud QAnon supporters.
	And so if Marjorie ran for president that way, then she would definitely surpass Lin Wood and the other real-life grifters by being an actual candidate for president for them.
	Okay, so, well, I guess my next question is, like, so, she's already started to backpedal on some of the shit that, like, you know, is in her personal history with, like, QAnon, like the Sandy Hook thing or whatever.
	She started to try to smooth that over, because to A large amount of people, like, a lot of the QAnon message is just sort of, like, too toxic to fuck with right now, so a lot of those people are starting to, like, work out their own QAnon niche, right?
	And before, they used to have this, like, centralized leadership, like a... I don't know, like a Hive Queen, like the Tyranid.
	And now, you know, so what do you think the likelihood is that these other people, like, now that they're without their central leadership, like, go off into their own little, like, splinter hives, also like the Tyranid, and just sort of, like, populate their own little Q cult Like, with their own special doctrine, right?
	Like, these are the boundaries that we push, this is the pocket that we stay in, so that we can maintain our political power without... Because it seems like if you opt into the whole thing at this point, especially without that driving force like Hive leader Q to support it, like, it's just too toxic to fuck with after the insurrection riot.
	It'll be very interesting to see what can be done to make QAnon palatable.
	I have talked to a bunch of QAnon researchers, and they've always said that if you could kind of make QAnon without Q, you're looking at a goldmine.
	Because if you can just somehow tamp into the save the children, drain the swamp, if you can just mouth all the empty platitudes that sound good, And then also like just kind of make sure that the racism, the anti-Semitism, all the bigotry is just kind of like a dog whistle and you keep it on the slide.
	Then you're going to be looking, you're going to be golden because those people, they don't have any other option.
	They have to go with you.
	And in a kind of way, I mean, the reason why Trump lost the first election by three million votes and got into the electoral college and then lost for really real the second time was that he was too far across that line.
	And like 8 million votes this time is probably a sign that going all the way Trump and all the way QAnon to that level is probably not a winning strategy.
	But if you can just keep those people happy and contented, While still appearing to be moderate and mainstream, then you can be a winner.
	Because when you look at John McCain and Mitt Romney in 2008 and 2012, they got around 60, 61 million votes.
	Trump got 63 million against Hillary.
	And Hillary and Obama in his re-election got like literally about the same.
	They both got like 66 million.
	So Trump actually like pulled like 2 million more people into the Republican tent by being just a crazy, xenophobic,
	out, openly proud conspiracy theorist, dipping his toe into birtherism and all that kind of shit.
	It's just a racially charged demagogue.
	Racially charged, exactly, like that kind of thing. So it's like,
	so you look at that and you say, well, Trump got two million more votes than Romney and that's what
	he needed in order to pick the lock on the Electoral College and get into the presidency.
	But then he went too far and lost to Biden.
	So how do we keep that Trump voter who is Kind of a dirtbag.
	It needs to be pandered to in a way that is untoward, but at the same time keep everybody else happy so that they'll also show up and vote for us.
	And threading that needle is going to be very interesting.
	I mean, to me, it's like, I don't think Marjorie is like a thought leader on QAnon.
	I think she's kind of just making it up as she goes along.
	I think they view her as like a blueprint going forward of how they get into office.
	What state is she from?
	She's from Georgia.
	She's in the 14th district.
	It's a blood red district.
	She carpetbagged.
	She actually lives in Georgia's like 7th district, but she ran in the 14th because she knew it was an easy win if she got through the Republican primary.
	And so that all happened.
	And as I talked about this elsewhere, but like the guy that she beat in the runoff was literally her minus the QAnon.
	Both of them did campaign ads where they were holding AR-15s.
	They both screamed about El Trinidad Ocasio-Cortez and the squad and socialism
	and how they were aggressively pro-gun.
	Again, look at my AR-15 that I'm holding.
	Like all of this stuff.
	They were like literally the same person.
	There wasn't a hair's worth of difference between the two of them except for the fact that Marjorie just had more money for more ads and that more congressional Republicans had endorsed her over the other guy.
	And the QAnon stuff and the racism, all of that was out during this runoff.
	They knew about this shit and the Republicans didn't step in and just put that other guy in over her.
	Because I was in communications with the guy that was running the Don Quixote quixotic campaign against her in the general election, the Democrat, who was in a world of shit, because this district was so anti-Democrat, it wasn't even funny.
	And me and Kevin, Kevin Menostal was his name, we were like, man, I really hope Marjorie wins this runoff, because we have no shot.
	We will lose 75-25 if normal MAGA Chud is our opponent.
	Because that guy's bulletproof, that guy's untouchable.
	He's just gonna campaign on God, guns, and Trump, and he's gonna crush us.
	But Marjorie opens the door a crack for us to be able to sneak in and maybe embarrass the people of Georgia's 14th District into not voting for her, because she's such a clown.
	And then, uh, stuff happened in Kevin's personal life, and he had to drop out of the race, and it really fucking sucked.
	But, like, any... It's a shame they didn't put up the other guy, so we could get back to good old-fashioned American values.
	Guns, the Bible, blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne.
	Exactly.
	Stuff that makes America great.
	Support for the God Emperor.
	All of these things.
	So, if QAnon are the nids, then do we get to be the Imperium?
	That's not necessarily a crit.
	Yeah, well, I mean, that's what I'm saying.
	The problem is that the water's murky all over.
	What are we, Chaos?
	That's even worse.
	There's no good guys in Warhammer 40K.
	Just like real life, dawg.
	It has a different flavor of bad.
	Right, exactly.
	I mean, I would think that the QAnon would probably think themselves the Imperium, but they're probably just followers of Khorne.
	They view us as followers of Slenish.
	So, I mean, we're the depraved, decadent, hedonists, and they are the blood-loving warriors that wish to purify the world.
	How many inches can my units fire, though?
	Let's get out the measuring tape.
	I need to know.
	It's a British game, it's centimeters.
	Not when I'm playing it in fucking America.
	Love it or leave it, nerd.
	All I'm thinking about now is this game that was the ultimate game of cheese, where one guy would not deploy his reforces because he had this cheese tactic where he would just drop everything in this tactic called in reserve, and he could just swarm you with his bullshit reserve tactic.
	So the first guy was like, I'm going to place my units.
	What are you going to do?
	And the guy was like, I'm in reserve.
	So then the other guy literally placed all of his characters at the edge of the map.
	His scouts were all in open space at the edge of the map.
	They would die instantly.
	And then after he did that, he was like, I win.
	And the reserve guy's like, what do you mean?
	He's like, well, you have no legal place to move characters in reserve now, so the game's over, and I've won.
	And they went to a judge, and then the guy was like, you're right, the reserve guy loses.
	You've won the game.
	I remember the first time I heard that story, I think Sarge linked it to me, and I was like, man, not all heroes wear capes.
	Good for that guy.
	It's just like, oh, you think that you have high-level system mastery of this obscure-ass game?
	Well, let me send you to school there, bucko.
	Yeah, you think you're a rules lawyer?
	Boom, let me show you some real motherfucking rules lawyering.
	Anyway, let's go to our last little news item before we move on to the next segment.
	I guess in my notes here, I just have it written as the so-called college-educated vote.
	I guess this is some sort of democratic nonsense for once or whatever.
	So, what's the haps with the so-called college-educated vote?
	So there's been talk that Democrat messaging for the 2020 midterms is going to be Republicans can't court the college vote because they are the party of QAnon.
	And I understand this from a layperson standpoint that QAnon is the party of the people of stupids.
	They're idiots.
	They're morons.
	But Marjorie Taylor Greene graduated from college.
	The guy that made the QMAP that was getting people into QAnon, he was an investment banker for Citibank before he got uncovered.
	Intelligence is no defense from QAnon.
	People fall into conspiracy theories on any level of the intelligence spectrum.
	Also, college education is not a fucking, like, a reliable metric for intelligence.
	Absolutely not.
	It's just like, oh, you think you're smart?
	What kind of college degree do you have?
	And it's just like, oh, well, I've got a degree in musical theater.
	And they're just like, well, you're a genius!
	Because you graduated from college!
	One of my lieutenants in the army, he was a leader of men, an officer, because he had a degree in clarinet performance.
	Let me tell you, we did not let him do a lot of things.
	We were just like, go stay in the corner.
	Oh man, when the bombs drop, I'm gonna want that guy in my corner.
	Yeah, oh, you just drop- You didn't show up in artillery!
	Quick, play that clarinet!
	So this is one of those things.
	I have so many people that are what QAnon would call normies in my life who are just like, Like, I would never fall for anything like QAnon.
	This is so dumb.
	It's so stupid.
	And I get that.
	So, like, on, like, the layperson side of the argument, I get where the Democrats are coming from.
	But as, like, a person that's, like, in the mire of this shit, it's like, no, like, saying that QAnon are dumb-dumbs and that we are not going to be the dumb-dumb party, that doesn't really, like, Fully articulate the subject.
	2022 is like two years away at this point.
	So we're still a long way away from what the messaging is actually going to be.
	And how potent will anti-QAnon demagoguery be?
	I hope it's incredibly potent.
	I hope the Democrats crush them by hanging QAnon around their necks like an anchor.
	But all of that stuff will be seen.
	Like Flavor Flav, but instead of a clock it's just a giant cue.
	Right.
	In fact, if we ever need to cut like an album cover or something, like if we ever put out any some sort of material and we need like a picture for it, I practically demand that I get a big cue medallion to wear for that photo.
	100% that will happen.
	I will demand our listeners make that for you as well.
	But the one thing I would say this is akin to is someone once said, if you know nothing about the Civil War, you know it's about slavery.
	When you know a little bit about the Civil War, you know it's about anything else.
	And when you know a lot about the Civil War, you know it's about slavery.
	And that's kind of my mindset about what the QAnon intelligence paradigm is vis-a-vis understanding this thing.
	And so, Democrat messaging, I will hire me, I'll make all the anti-QAnon commercials you could ever want.
	I know this shit, and I will make it work.
	Well, there we go.
	All the Q News that's fit to ramble about.
	Now it's time for us to move into our next segment that we always do, which is where we go over all the new Q drops that have been posted, so let me just play our bump for that.
	All right, well there was that.
	Okay, moving on.
	NoNewQ drops to talk about.
	So I guess it's time for listener questions, which we don't have a bump for currently.
	I'm assuming that our bounty of listeners has contributed to a, once again, very swollen sack.
	This sack is pretty solid.
	I don't know, it's not horrifyingly swollen, but it's got some girth to it.
	Well, we'll see how many of them we can get through before we have to get out of here.
	So let's see what the listeners want to pick our brain about this week.
	I apologize if I'm going to butcher your name, but Jitarath Jayja.
	Man, I'm so sorry.
	I'm the worst.
	I know he was bored from the QAnon casualties mods.
	He is an ex-QAnon member, so good on you, man.
	He asks, first, what's the future for QAnon?
	Two, does it bother you that no one gives a shit about your opinion on poker?
	And three, why did Vice make a 2011 documentary on QAnon in 2020?
	A, we're living in it.
	I think the future of QAnon right now is just grasping at straws to keep their audience happy.
	That's why they're going on GameStop, that's why they're doing Physical Silver, that's why they're doing all this nonsense.
	They're spinning plates until they can find something meaty to sink their teeth into to get people more agitated and hyped up.
	Beyond that, who knows?
	Very fluid is the future of QAnon right now, but they're not going anywhere because they're going to believe in this shit in perpetuity.
	I mean, I feel like they'll probably do just fine until they launch one of their stupid intergalactic bombs at Buenos Aires, and then boy howdy, we're going to fucking take the boots to those bugs' gum.
	It's going to be crazy.
	I'm doing my part.
	Would you like to know more?
	Look at that cross-cultural ref.
	Look, I'm so incredibly good at ref.
	I understand no one cares about what I have to say about poker, but if anyone ever did, I would talk their ear off, and no one wants to hear that right now, so we're moving on.
	I think people will listen to your views on poker a little more if you ever get back to playing poker and or winning money at poker.
	Currently, you're part of the poker machine, and nobody gives a shit what people in the poker machine have to say.
	Like, you need to become a hotshot poker player, like... Wow, it's not 2008, so I don't know who a popular poker player is.
	You know, like those guys that are popular at poker.
	Those guys.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Daniel, around you, is he still playing poker?
	Sick reference, bro!
	Right now, Negroni was currently finishing up being defeated by Doug Polk in that head-to-head challenge we talked about a month or so ago.
	Well, there we go.
	Daniel Negroni's Polk Party is happening right now.
	If you want to talk to one of those guys about winning some cash, hit him up.
	We're here to dole out big scoops of QAnon.
	Next question.
	We still have a third part of this question, idiot.
	Oh, no.
	I feel so bad.
	And finally, I have been so busy, I've only heard terrible things about the second and third parts of the Vice documentaries.
	I will actually watch them in this upcoming week and then finally critique them.
	But people are very mad at me.
	I've had people yell at me for not liking the Vice documentaries, and so this is a hot-button issue.
	I mean, much like it's not 2008, so I can't remember a poker player's name, it's not 2015, so who really gives a fuck about what Vice is doing?
	Like...
	Well, like, I feel like Vice has been on a downward trend since it has been, like, known for a while now about their, like, toxic bullshit going on in their fucking hipster workplace.
	So, like, the fact that it's just like, oh, no, Vice?
	It's probably got, like, some bearded whore-in-glasses guy poorly telling me about QAnon?
	Shocker!
	I bet when he gets back to the office, he's gonna be probably sexually exposed to a lady who doesn't want it.
	And it's like, okay, cool.
	Well, thanks, Vice.
	So thank you for the questions.
	David the Racist Hater BLM asks, El, can you honestly tell me you didn't turn up the bass on Paul Revere?
	I mean, again, beats good, raps bad.
	Like, I mean, I like I can turn that shit up to listen and enjoy like the fucking smooth grooves.
	But like the I'm telling you, like the the the rapping is just whack.
	Sorry, buddy.
	I mean, I can't honestly say that.
	I can't honestly say that because, like, I have, in fact, turned that song up, but it's not really because I'm just like, you know, I want to hear 12th grade, like middle school raps over this fucking sick beat.
	It's sort of a it's it's sort of like like one time back in the day, a friend of mine was getting wasted or we're getting married.
	And during the party beforehand, we decided to get wasted and we got wasted off of top shelf vodka and Kool-Aid.
	And that is sort of what the Beastie Boys are to me.
	Some top-shelf vodka mixed with some Kool-Aid.
	Like, that shit'll still get you turnt.
	But half of it is not great.
	And also, has there been any backlash in the Q community from Alex Jones' fake, I hate you Q rant?
	No, because QAnon's always hated Alex.
	They think he's Masaad.
	He's scum.
	What's really funny is that there's like this pyramid of bad people that were involved in the Capitol riots.
	In QAnon world, the only people that committed the riots on January 6th were Antifa.
	In Alex Jones' world, there were Antifa mixed with QAnon.
	And now that more and more actual militia people are getting thrown into the arrests, he's like, oh yeah, there were a couple Proud Boys, a couple Boog, Pete D'Alaska, he's kind of a bro, I don't know what that he was up to, and some Oath Keepers, but for the most part it was still an antifa.
	So I mean, Alex is just like kind of plate spinning because he actually has to deal with callers talking to him about like reality and stuff, whereas QAnon is like so completely devoid from reality.
	So, you're more in tune with the actual community than I am, like, of people that are, like, impacted by this shit, so I don't know if maybe you know this, but these, like, people that are clearly, like, pro-QAnon, like, you know, Proud Boys or whatever, that are now getting arrested for that sedition, Is any sort of heat coming their way from this narrative that it was Antifa that did it the whole time?
	If you were one of the supposed QAnon good guys that got arrested at this thing, when you come back from doing your stint or whatever, are you now a pariah because everyone assumes you were an Antifa plant?
	How deep does that messaging actually penetrate into the brain of a QAnon?
	Oh, QAnon disowns everyone who gets arrested.
	I mean, the moment you get arrested, you are Antifa scum, and it doesn't matter what you were before that.
	I mean, like... Really?
	Wow, much like Trump, they prefer their war heroes to be not captured.
	Exactly.
	I mean, like, if there was, like, video of, like, Ron Watkins, like, if Ron Watkins was standing where Q Shaman was in the well of the Senate, like, screaming and yelling, they would disown him.
	They would disown Aitkun.
	Like, they are so incapable of taking responsibility for their own actions.
	It's appalling.
	They live only to claim Let me ask you a question real quick.
	How, to go back a little, how quick did Q turn on Alex Jones?
	ever. So when a bet when you do a bad thing, you are immediately out of the cool kids club.
	Like that's it done. Let me let me ask you a question real quick. How to go back a little
	how quick did Q turn on Alex Jones because info wars was like integral to spreading them
	to getting them started.
	From what I understand. So what happened there was there was a kind of an attempt between
	Q and on and the info wars people were trying to get in on the Q and on stuff.
	Like they saw it was hot.
	They saw people were liking it.
	And they were like, this QAnon stuff has got some, like, juice to it.
	We gotta get in and start, uh, sucking some of these people into the info war so we can get that sweet, sweet cash off of them.
	And when this happened, um, Jerome Corsi was trying to get in with Jack Postabec and Microchip and the other people that were supposedly, like, in on the whole, like, Q thing.
	Then there was like a falling out between Corsi and those other people.
	And on September 5th, 2018, that's when Cube made a Q drop where he said that Alex Jones is Mossad backed.
	And then later on in another Q drop, he said that Jerome Corsi was part of Mossad.
	So somewhere in late 2018 is when the big InfoWar QAnon rift happened.
	We don't exactly know why it happened.
	But that's when Q decided to just be like, fuck you.
	I'm bigger than Info Wars.
	I don't need you guys.
	I can call you guys Mossad-funded controlled opposition, and it will only boost my credibility and make you look bad.
	Huh.
	Good shit.
	Well, thanks for the listener question, and congratulations on getting up out of that quagmire, bud.
	It's nice to hear that people can actually get out of this fucking thing once they've been jumped into it.
	Yeah.
	Um, so, uh, one of our inquisitors, uh, this week it's Chairman Walkman, uh, asks, uh, has Q-team ever touched on Bohemian Grove?
	And, uh... Wow, that's awful.
	What the fuck is a Bohemian Grove?
	Bohemian Grove is actually this retreat that crazy rich people go out to in the summer.
	I believe it's in California.
	Oh, I did hear about this place.
	They've got like actual sort of culture shit going on there, right?
	There's like a secret wigwam or whatever and a bunch of other nonsense.
	I've heard about this place.
	Bohemian Grove is old school.
	It's up there with Physical Silver and Yeah, but I mean this one's at least got a little punch to it because it's a bunch of rich people getting up into the woods and getting into chicanery and, you know, with like a light splash of some actual like ritualistic nonsense.
	Yeah, there's the ritualistic farewell to concern where they set a fire and you're supposed to throw some stuff from your day job into the fire so that you're now purified and you're able to just go about gallivanting naked in the woods.
	With your fellow rich people brethren.
	It's like a big networking event that's just out in the woods.
	They do weird stuff.
	They stage a play.
	Alex Jones once broke in and videotaped some of it and tried to make it out to being scarier than it was.
	I forget if it was when Bill Clinton was president or if he was running for president, but there was this one time he was giving a speech and some person in the audience started heckling him and they were screaming at him, they're like, tell the truth about Bohemian Grove!
	Like, tell us what's going on!
	And they dragged the guy out and Clinton just looked at him and he was like, Bohemian Grove?
	Is that the place where those Republicans get drunk and run around naked in the woods?
	And the audience laughed.
	And people get so angry at that clip.
	They're like, Bill Clinton's hiding the truth!
	He goes to Bohemian Grove!
	He worships that giant 50-foot statue of the owl!
	He's a monster!
	And I think that that Bohemian Grove owl statue is where QAnon gets their misguided notion that Moloch Is an owl.
	Because in all of the traditional texts of Jewish tradition, the Canaanites, like, Moloch is a bull god.
	He's like, the upper torso is like a bull and it's like a giant furnace or whatever.
	But that's always been like the way Moloch was envisioned back in the ancient times.
	But in modern times, somehow Moloch became an owl.
	And I think that mostly just comes from ascribing Moloch to that statue at Bohemian Grove.
	So Bohemian Grove is really just a place where rich white dudes get their dicks out, do a little peyote, and then do some backroom deals off the grid.
	But because it's got a little bit of that weird masonic shit to it because it's just been an institution for so long, people assume that it's got some sort of spiritual juice.
	Exactly, exactly.
	People think that like babies are getting slaughtered there and stuff like that.
	I'm pretty sure there's like a Qdrop that has like a photo of the giant owl in it, but I can't find it because the terrible search engines on Q archiving sites don't let you just like type in Bohemian Grove owl and bam the photo comes up.
	I mean, if they want to get the truth out there about how tame Bohemian Grove is, just go ahead and invite me, your boy Al from the Avengers in Hellworld podcast, to come out for a Bohemian Grove sesh.
	I mean, I'll do your hallucinogens with you.
	I'll hang out at the statue.
	I like doing plays.
	I was a theater kid in high school.
	Let's do this.
	Come on.
	I'll get wasted with you.
	I mean, who cares that you're all a bunch of Republican monsters?
	You can call me a liberal monster.
	We can all be naked and hide together in the woods in a totally straight way.
	Yes, that's the most important part about it.
	There's no homoeroticism whatsoever at Bohemian Grove.
	What's homoerotic about a bunch of dudes alone secluded in the woods, nude, maybe on intoxicants, under the watchful gaze of a 50-foot wooden owl statue?
	Shh, don't worry about it.
	Nothing homoerotic about it at all.
	So, thank you for the question.
	Have we got time for one more, probably?
	I'm gonna bang out two more, because the second one is literally this person attacked my brain, and we only have two more anyways, so it all works out.
	Um...
	The first one is, DeportGamer says, what if there was no Q and the internet just did that?
	And the answer is, there were a million Qs before Q. There was CIA Anon, there was FBI Anon, there was Highway Patrol Anon, there was Mega Anon, there's Hollywood Anon.
	People don't seem to understand that, like, it's nothing against them, I mean, they just weren't hanging out around there at the time, but before, like, the AMA became, like, a popular thing on Reddit, like, You could do stuff similar to that on 4chan or whatever where you would just like literally post and just be like, hey, like I work for the FBI, ask me a question or whatever.
	And then I think I think that that just like naturally at some point like clipped people to the fact that they had a platform where if they if they wanted to jump in, they could just be like, yo, like, here's the field I'm in and I'm here to drop some science on you.
	And in that way, like like the people that were doing that legitimately sort of accidentally gave power to these people to abuse it and
	just like go to a random message board and just be like Yo, I I have CIA clearance and I can answer your questions
	And then the truth is they've read Tom Clancy novels and that's what their clearance is
	But well, you don't fucking know that they're hidden anonymously behind a trip code or whatever
	So you ask them a bunch of questions?
	They give you a bunch of bullshit answers and then at the end of the day, it's just like oh, thank you CIA anon
	What the-?
	What would we ever do without your keen insights?
	And then he's like desperately thumbing through his next spy novel to figure out what his next job is going to be.
	Yeah.
	Uh, yeah, that's exactly it.
	I mean, this was always around.
	Uh, that's one of the things that drives people wallowing.
	People are like, this is obviously a Russian psy-op.
	And it's like, do you know what Chan culture was?
	There were a million Q's before Q. Like this, this wasn't something that was like inorganic to the community.
	Like some random guy saying, I have an inside tip.
	Hillary's going to get cuffed and stuffed.
	There were probably 10 of those posts a week.
	It just so happened this one caught fire and the people LARPing it LARPed really hard and made it like work.
	So, the final question, because we have one thing that's a comment, where they said, yes, about the Jewish space lasers, which I don't even know how to react to, but yes, Jewish space lasers.
	Is that a thing that we brought up on a previous podcast?
	No, Marjorie Taylor Greene brought it up.
	Oh, okay.
	I mean, this is the world that I live in, where now that I'm doing this sort of content, I have to be like, did we talk about Jew lasers last week?
	But no, we have not talked about the Jewish Space Lasers, nor will we.
	But this is so weird because I have no idea how this person would come up with this question, but I also found the answer to this question when I was living out in Las Vegas around 2005.
	I actually puzzled this out in my brain.
	So when I read this, my head exploded because I was like, this is so weird and niche that anyone else would ever think of this.
	Like, is this person a sock puppet account of my alternate personality that's trying to communicate with me?
	I just don't get it.
	But Stereo East, like Inner Ass, I have no idea.
	Their handle is Head Esploding, which I can get a lot cleaner.
	They said the question, what is the weakest possible hand in Texas Hold'em that can be the nuts after all the cards have been dealt?
	So all five community cards are out.
	What is the weakest possible hand that can be unbeatable after a full hand of Hold'em has been dealt?
	And I figured this out like 15 years ago, so it's so weird that I got questioned about this.
	Okay, so we'll stop leaving this in suspense, I guess.
	At least one person wants to know the answer.
	What is the weakest hand?
	What's the weakest nut?
	Mike is now the weakest nut.
	Yes.
	Sarge has no earthly idea how Pokemon works.
	I am so far out, gone, don't know on this one.
	Do you have a ballpark on this, Alex?
	No!
	The weakest hand that could be the nut with all the cards dealt out.
	I mean, no, I feel like there's more math involved in it than just saying any of the obvious answers that may be coming to my head.
	So what is the answer, Mr. Mike?
	The answer is a set of queens.
	The answer is a set of queens.
	Because going any lower, if you go to a set of jacks, any bird that would have a set of jacks on it could have straight possibilities.
	So you have to go up to Queens, and then you can create a board that's like 2-3-7-8 Queen, so there's no connectors, so no straight can be made, and the set of Queens can be good.
	As the stone nut.
	And like, yeah, I was working one night overnight at the Tropicana in Vegas, and that just came into my head.
	I'm like, what is the weakest nut possible?
	And I just cracked the weakest nut, as it were.
	Well, there we go.
	At the end of the podcast, old Mike Rains busts the weakest nut.
	And that seems like the best possible outcome for the podcast and a good note to go out on.
	So I'm going to start driving us out of this here hell world for the week.
	Once again, everybody, thank you for listening.
	If you are willing to support the podcast, you can do so by just telling a friend!
	You know, or going through and smashing whatever the RSS feed equivalent of a like button is.
	You know, do your thing.
	Spread the word.
	Let people know about the podcast if you're having a good time.
	If you ever have a little money to throw our way, you can do that by visiting us on Patreon at Poker and Politics.
	You can hit up Mike Rains there and put a little shekels in our tip jar if you would like to tip your dealer.
	You can find us on social media.
	Mike Raines is at PokerPolitics.
	Or is it just PokerPolitics?
	I always get this wrong.
	PokerPolitics.
	PokerPolitics.
	At PokerPolitics on Twitter.
	Myself, L, and our buddy Sarge are both available on Twitter.
	At HellWorldSarge and at HellWorldL.
	Of course, the O in world is a Q because that's sort of our Jimmy Jam.
	If you have money and you don't want to give it to us via our Patreon, you can go ahead and donate that to love146.org.
	They're an organization that helps abate child trafficking and all that good shit the way that QAnon claims that they want to be done but won't lift a finger to do themselves.
	If my co-hosts don't have anything else to add, I think that's going to be good enough for the week for us.
	And as always, I'm going to go out with our incredibly patriotic catchphrase.
	Anybody else got anything they want to add before we steer this one go?
	I'm totally worn out from busting that week nut, so I'm done.
	Mike's in his refractory period.
	Sarge is shaking his head with what looks like a grimace.
	It was like a grimace smile.
	It was the sort of expression that you get when you think about Mike Rains' weak nut.
	So, once again, for Mike Rains and for Hellworld Sarge, I'm Hellworld Al.
	This has been the Adventures in Hellworld podcast.
	Good speed, patriots!
