	♫ Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of
	Adventures in Hellworld.
	I am your host, Mike Rains, a.k.a.
	Poker and Politics, and I am joined, as always, by Sarge.
	Hello from the internet.
	And the mysterious Hell.
	Hello from Castlevania, my beautiful babies.
	Ooh, spooky.
	Yes, that was one of my thoughts about that theme music that we had.
	Castlevania was definitely in the mix.
	Streets of Rage was something else I've heard previously.
	That was created by DJ Minimal Effort, who I much appreciate for him doing that for us.
	Yeah, DJ Minimal Effort, who is a friend of the pod and also a pretty, formerly a pretty good magic player.
	No one's playing a lot of magic these days, at least not live.
	No.
	But yeah, so we got music from him.
	That was great.
	We're going to get some outro music that we're working on.
	That'll be coming up very soon, hopefully.
	So that's kind of the fun about the show, as it were.
	Beyond all that, this week we had the wonderful controversy of Tucker Carlson going out of our military for God knows what reason.
	South Park decided to do a QAnon show because they're incredibly topical and with it.
	And other sorts of fun and frivolity happened.
	But of course, first and foremost, we have to let you know that this is a QAnon podcast, which means it may not be for everybody.
	Content warning.
	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.
	So yeah, this has been kind of a weird week in the sense that For normal people?
	In the sense that Tucker Carlson decided he wanted to start railing against vaginas?
	Yeah!
	Oh, I mean, that is a conservative, uh, huge talking point.
	I mean, uh, the Grammys happened, and oh my god, uh, that, they, they did a wet-ass pussy, uh, performance, and America fell if you watched right-wing media.
	All these, all these women pop stars.
	In America, they make us look weak.
	You look at Chinese pop stars, they're so masculine.
	Oh, they're so masculine, so strong!
	There isn't a massive machine in Asia that creates literal women's groups and boy bands also, and has them performing for everybody all the time.
	I used to be a huge Adele fan.
	Then she got knocked up.
	Now she's dead to me.
	Yeah, where is she?
	She did that James Bond themed a million years ago, and then just... I mean, Adele just put out a new album, I think, this year?
	And she lost a million pounds?
	Yeah, and she was walking around in cornrows for a while?
	Shit got weird just before the pandemic.
	Everybody thinks the pandemic made stuff weird.
	Shit was getting weird before the pandemic.
	We were already on that slide.
	We were already on that slide, and then it just got worse because we had to... I think what happened was we all had to stay home and realize how weird everything was.
	You were like, wow!
	People forget that even before the pandemic, we were starting to get
	Rasa del!
	Demon!
	Co-opting culture!
	Anyway, we should probably actually talk about headlines.
	Probably should do that, yes.
	Problems are digital headlines to the digital front lines.
	It's Q's in the News.
	So yes, our dearest friend Tucker Carlson, an absolute human colostomy bag, decided that our military is too feminine, too weak.
	Hey buddy, colostomy bags are youthful.
	This is true.
	This is true.
	But this absolute piece of shit decided that our military is weak, effeminate, and useless, and that the Chinese military is strong, powerful, and they're so much more manly than ours.
	And this led to the military popping back at Tucker Carlson because they're the military.
	They kind of backed their own.
	This is the whole point of the military.
	It's a brotherhood.
	You are a collective of people who have each other's backs.
	You're literally supposed to be the people that drag each other off the battlefield when you're wounded.
	This is like the ultimate form of solidarity, that you're putting your lives in each other's hands.
	So of course you're gonna tell Tucker Carlson to pound stand when he pulls this shit.
	And all of this led to this rather interesting situation where you have QAnon who are both right-wing dipshits and totally just slavishly worshipful of the military.
	Their mantra that they have been spouting off for all this time after Biden's been sworn in Was quote-unquote, military is the only way.
	Yeah, at any moment Trump was going to activate the whole military, no chicks, to defeat his enemies, as long as there are no ladies.
	All of them, swarm upon my enemies, my soldiers, all male.
	Get in there!
	And there is, this again, QAnon kind of figured out that deadlines are not their friend and we shouldn't get too Intense on that front.
	But there was some scuttlebutt about March 20th being like the next payoff.
	And not a lot of not a lot of big promoters like really dip their toe in the March 30th deadline.
	But there was this March 20th or March 30th.
	I'm sorry.
	Why is that an important made up important date?
	The Madoff important date of March 20th was supposedly there was some executive order that gave Trump a like 60 day review of the military.
	And there were people in QAnon saying that Trump still controls the military even now, and that he only loses control of the military on March 20th when his 60-day review is over, which is so asinine.
	It goes against everything that the American system of government is based upon.
	Like, you know what?
	The current president is Commander-in-Chief.
	That's how that works.
	Once you get sworn in, you're in control of the military.
	Guys, somebody get the Vice News people on the horn.
	I've discovered who Q is.
	It was Joseph Smith the whole time.
	Because only his magic hat and golden peep stones or whatever can truly decipher the Q mystery.
	The plates.
	Oh yeah, the plates were gold.
	The peep stones were just rocks.
	And also, the hat was nonsense.
	That's one of the things I love so much about people being just exasperated and horrified by QAnon.
	They're like, how can people believe in this crazy nonsense?
	It's like Mormonism.
	It's not that ancient.
	It happened in the last like couple hundred years.
	And We know that Mormonism began with a guy literally bullshitting people.
	Bro, Scientology was like, what, 50, 60 years ago?
	Yeah, Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard literally said, you know how you make money?
	You make up a religion.
	And then he made a religion and people bought into it.
	Only the wealthiest people and the poorest people.
	Well, if you want to get wealthy.
	Yeah, if you want to get wealthy, you become a Scientologist, then you make the channel.
	By conning rich people who are, like, displeased in their lives, and they're just not getting that kick from Christianity, you're like, yeah, being a servant of Jesus is nice, but what if you were a level 8 Satan?
	How cruel would that be?
	Yeah, I mean, do you suppose they ever, like, when you go in to get your OT test or whatever, do you suppose they ever, like, are just like, oh man, your levels are so low, you should really just be Catholic or something?
	Just, like, keep up the ruse so that they're not, like, totally cracking open their golden egg to make sure that people keep coming back every once in a while.
	They're just like, oh, you just don't have it.
	You don't get to be part.
	When L. Ron Hobart's ghost comes back and inhabits that robot body we built for him, you don't get to be there for that.
	Okay, so funny story.
	My partner recently wanted to go to a reptile show in Kansas.
	I swear, this gets relevant.
	And while we were waiting in line to pay to go into the reptile show, there was a huge booth with five people and five long ass tables of Scientology.
	Scientology was there reppin' old Xenu at the reptile show.
	And I'm just like, what?
	It was so baffling.
	Well, yeah, man, because you know what else is at the Reptile Show?
	Reptilians looking for trim, and they're in deep with the Scientologists, because they're all part of the Deep State, buddy.
	Where do the Pleiadians fit into all of this?
	I mean, they're also there to fuck lizards.
	I would hope so.
	I would absolutely hope so.
	I'm trying to keep up with this bit, but I'm a little hazy on the mythology of Scientology.
	Uh, well no, the Pleiadians are just an alien thing, they're nothing to do with Scientology.
	My bad, I didn't know the different made-up aliens and which ones fit in which.
	Yeah, all you really need to know is Xenu, which is the name that you hope a Scientologist starts crying out when you're really giving it to them.
	Yes.
	Oh man, it's all about the Xenu.
	But um, so we had this kerfuffle between Tucker and the military, and QAnon had to pick a side.
	And you would think that they would just tell Tucker to fuck off, because I mean, sometimes Tucker defends QAnon, sometimes it's against QAnon.
	It all depends which way the wind's blowing.
	He can't defend QAnon.
	There is no QAnon.
	He's said it several times.
	Like, where is this QAnon?
	I can't find them.
	Yeah, exactly.
	He has no idea what it is.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, I didn't pay them because they're interns, but my interns, you know, I was just like, hey, find QAnon on the internet.
	And then they came back and told me they couldn't.
	His crack research team could not find any Qs.
	Nope.
	The man who is like the heir to the Swanson frozen food fortune couldn't hire anyone to find QAnon for him.
	Therefore, it does not exist.
	He investigated all of the keyboards in the office and found that there was no Q. Everybody was making it up.
	The letter Q was made up by the liberal media.
	It was just like that urban legend that after George W. Bush won the presidency, when he walked into the White House, the Clinton administration had ripped all the W's off all the keyboards as an F.U.
	to the incoming regime.
	And that's what actually happened to Tucker's staff.
	They had all the Q's ripped off their keyboards by mysterious forces.
	Oh hey Mike, we forgot our own thing that we discussed.
	Our new ongoing bit.
	Give me a Q countdown.
	How long has it been since we heard from Q?
	98 days.
	98 days since the super secret spy trying to save the world has communicated to us what is going on behind the scenes in the Shadow War between the Cabal and the Patriots.
	This breaks the record of his previous silence, which was 93 days, but that was involuntary because that was when 8chan had been deplatformed and had to come back as 8kun three months later.
	So the guy that is the communications pivot point between the military intelligence operation trying to save the world and right-wing grifter shitheads like Lin Wood, that guy has gone dark mysteriously.
	Guys, somebody get Vice News.
	I figured out who Q is.
	It was Yoshihiro Togashi all along.
	He's the creator of Hunter x Hunter and if you know, you know.
	So you have the worship of the military on one side, you have Tucker who doesn't even
	know what Q is on the other side, and Q and I decide to come down on Tucker's side.
	QAnon has decided that our military actually sucks, the people they hoped will save us, the people they hope will reenact Myanmar in front of their very eyes and crush representative democracy in their nation, those people are pieces of shit.
	Beloved alleged ex-military member, Major Patriot, aka Major Dad, has been going off on a jag about how the military sucks and how there are a bunch of feminized losers and how there was supposed to be a gender-neutral military fitness test that was being given out and now they're going to have to fix that because men were failing that test at like a 10% rate and women were failing it at like a 65% rate.
	And this proves in their mind, in Major Dad's mind, that the women just can't cut it in the military!
	When it's like, no one ever said that women were as strong as men.
	That's not anything that anyone's ever claimed.
	Maybe he has a point though.
	I mean, I don't know.
	Have you seen those Chinese soldiers in their drills?
	I mean, God, they're just, I mean, when they pull their shirts up, they've got like, they've got more abs than us.
	And I'm just not talking about better definition.
	I'm talking about like a whole extra row at the bottom.
	Oh, they have an eight pack?
	Yeah.
	They're experimenting to create the 10-pack.
	They're getting there.
	They're getting to the point where they're going to have potentially even a 12-pack of abs on one Chinese soldier's body.
	It's going to be incredible.
	They're going to get up to the full 24-pack, like a full fucking rack of Accurs.
	They pull off their shirts and it's just like, they're like a serpent made of abs.
	So grand and masculine is the Chinese military, which is a point I keep making like, you know, like making jokes about because I just think it's so funny that Tucker Carlson would just be like, yeah, America's military sucks and it's too feminine.
	But China, oh my God.
	Oh, look at them.
	And it's like, wow, really?
	You're just like, you're talking.
	No, you're talking shit about the American military.
	You're like actively praising our like probably greatest enemies at this point.
	Fucking lunatic.
	It's always this crazy thing where they will talk about how China's eating our lunch and sleepy Joe Biden is letting China walk all over us and it sucks.
	And then they're like, oh yeah, but by the way, the Chinese military soldiers, oh, they're so fit, so trim, so masculine, the very definition of an alpha.
	And it's like, are you simping for the Chinese military?
	What the fuck are you doing?
	Why are you so in love with them?
	Shouldn't you just be mad at them instead of doing their propaganda on their behalf and telling us how rough and tumble they are?
	In the Chinese language version of the film Mulan, Jackie Chan plays the alpha male drill instructor guy who has that song, I'll Make a Man Out of You.
	So Jackie Chan has a Chinese language rendition of that song.
	And I just picture them blaring that over Chinese military drills while Tucker Carlson is jerking off in his studio.
	He's got to.
	And the head of the Marines came for Tucker Carlson and just basically called him a shithead and said he wouldn't know which end of a rifle to pick up and he's, you know, welcome to come try out Marine Basic and they'll put him on the lady standards and see how he does.
	He's probably going to have to decline unless they have military issue bow ties that are slightly smaller than you think they should be.
	That brings us to our next item.
	Senator Ted Cruz defended Tucker Carlson and said he wants to speak to the head of the Marines because the military keeps picking on Tucker Carlson.
	So this is a sitting U.S.
	Senator defending an independent News pundit from the military.
	Yeah, I mean, fucking like who's who's gonna who's gonna be the one to have to tell Tucker Carlson that he's a fucking delicate snowflake and he needs to suck it up.
	That's that's typically the conservative line on bullying, right?
	Marines, apparently.
	It's so strange to me that you have, again, this worshipful military love it or leave it.
	The whole Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the anthem thing turned into this whole hullabaloo about how he was disrespecting our troops and he was mocking their sacrifice for America.
	The science has proven that every time he took a knee, estrogen levels rose across the United States military by 0.05%, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it was all of them.
	No, even the women, too.
	It was crazy.
	It was just an explosion of estrogen.
	Like, the whole military is too feminine because Cap didn't want to fucking stand and salute the flag.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, that's what happened during the whole Black Lives Matter, George Floyd protests, when the NBA, when LeBron and everybody else were taking a knee.
	I mean, it just basically turned everyone in the military into ladies, pretty much.
	It was just this ridiculous soy boy infusion.
	Soy boy?
	All the dumb slurs these people use to try to explain what masculinity is and what it means to be feminine.
	It's so ridiculous, because they're just children.
	They're just angry little children who want the military to be the greatest thing in the history of the world, except when the military is too inclusive. And the military has always been one of
	these bulwarks against progress that we've had in America.
	When Truman desegregated the military after World War Two, that
	was a huge fucking deal that pissed off a lot of people that, oh,
	no, you're gonna make the white people intermingle with the black people and it's gonna hurt troop morale.
	And that was just this giant shit show.
	And then guess what?
	It didn't hurt anything.
	And it was it's good to have a diverse military.
	And then we had Bill Clinton try to have openly gay people serve in the military.
	And there was this giant hullabaloo about that.
	They had the past don't ask, don't tell as a half measure.
	And no one was happy about it because the gay people were like, well, now I have to
	live in the closet and not be who I am.
	And it sucks.
	And the bigots were like, well, now we got to suss out the gay people and get them
	removed from the military to keep it pure.
	And then Obama got rid of that and just said, guess what?
	Openly gay people can serve!
	So then they started, like, trying to micromanage it and then Trump tried to kick trans people out of the military because we can't pay for your transitioning hormones and all that kind of stuff, so go away trans people.
	I mean, he could have solved that by just letting Cap kneel.
	Just let the man kneel.
	There were all the female generals whose promotions they delayed literally because they thought it would upset Trump.
	There were several female generals who did not get promoted to general or further up because they were worried it would upset the president.
	President piss baby didn't want women leading as manly men in the combat and now It's so it blows my mind that this guy was this incredibly unpopular one term president, which there have been three of those in my lifetime.
	And Carter kind of doesn't even count because I was a baby during Carter's run.
	So you've had three one termers in the last like 40 odd years.
	And was there a cult of personality around Jimmy Carter?
	No.
	Everyone was kind of like, good post-presidency, sucked as a president.
	Pappy Bush?
	Everyone was like, you know what?
	That guy kind of blew.
	But the fact that...
	Donald Trump is a one-term failure of a president, and the Republican Party is like, we need to prostrate ourselves before this man and every dumb fucking thing he's ever said.
	It's so bizarre to me.
	It's like, you would think that they would be like, you know what, we need a fresh start, clean slate.
	Donald Trump?
	Never heard of him.
	Don't know him.
	Never knew him.
	Is it more or less bizarre to you than what we're supposed to be talking about, which is Ted Cruz trying to defend Tucker Carlson for bullying?
	Sorry, that was as much for me as it was for you.
	I was like, how the fuck do we, like, how do we get to ranting about how much Donald Trump sucks this time?
	Ah, now I got it.
	Yeah, because Ted Cruz defended Tucker Carlson more than he did his wife, daughter, dog, or Texas.
	Or his dad who murdered Kennedy, according to Donald Trump.
	Well, that's just truth.
	He can't argue.
	This is true.
	Ted Cruz's dad did pop Kennedy in the dome.
	I forgot about that.
	You just have this thing where Ted Cruz is still carrying water for Trump.
	He's still doing this shit.
	And you would think that Rafael Cruz, if he didn't go to Cancun and probably submarine his chances of being president forever, you would think that Ted Cruz would right now be looking at the history of the Republican Party, where McCain lost to W. McCain got the nomination the next time around.
	Romney lost to McCain.
	Romney got the nomination last time around.
	Guess who lost to Trump last time?
	Cruz!
	You would think that Cruz would just be consolidating power, building his base, getting ready to become the presumptive Republican nominee in 2024.
	And maybe he's running against Kamala Harris because Biden has a health problem and can't make it 40 years because he's really fucking old.
	Who knows?
	But you would think that Cruz would just sort of be like, hey everybody, guess who's the big swinging dick in the Republican Party now?
	It's me!
	And instead he's just following the marching orders of the guy who just lost the election.
	It's just so bizarre to me that Ted Cruz is so pathetic and so weak That this is the hill he's going to die on.
	He's going to defend Tucker Carlson against the military when that is such a loser nationally, politically.
	God, the Biden campaign would love to run for re-election against Cancun Cruz and have pictures of Biden with the female generals next to him talking about our diverse and beautiful military.
	What's Ted Cruz's problem with that?
	What's Ted's response gonna be?
	Frauds, am I right?
	I mean, is he just gonna run on the entire women kind of suck
	and we shouldn't have given them the vote ticket?
	Like, what's his plan?
	Like, how does he overcome that?
	It's so dumb to me.
	I mean, who could say what's in the mind of that fucking crazy...
	I mean, we're talking about the same guy who fled the state that he was in charge of during their crisis and was, like, shocked when people discovered it was him.
	Like, he thought his fucking Rona mask was gonna, like, cover up his identity like a fucking super disguise.
	Like a Mission Impossible style, like, Tom Cruise face prosthetic.
	It's like, dude, like, you've got the Ted Cruz potato body.
	Like, it's all over your tickets and shit.
	Like, we know it's you, dawg.
	And you would think if he was going to run away he would just take a chartered jet.
	He's got the money for that.
	He just goes to like United Terminal D in Texas in front of everybody.
	He's hiding a plane site.
	Yeah, just hiding a plane site.
	Was that a plane pun?
	It was.
	It should have been.
	And I will now give El credit for it anyways.
	It just came out super naturally because I'm on cruise control.
	Ooh!
	Dabs.
	Yes, all of that.
	When we put this podcast on YouTube, it's going to be great.
	You're going to have seen all of us dabbing there.
	Like the pathetic, soft white men that we are.
	Except for me, because my webcam is off.
	You'll just have to imagine my dabbing.
	Yes.
	We're all old.
	Yes.
	All of this is accurate and true about us.
	How do you do, fellow kids?
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	So what do you think the chances of South Park making a Ted Cruz episode now that they've done a Q episode?
	Oh, God.
	Don't you have to be sort of like relevant to get a South Park episode dedicated to you?
	Burn!
	Burn!
	I mean, I'm sure they'll take some shots at it, but I'm not sure they're going to be like, this is the Ted Cruz episode.
	Whoa.
	Oh man, did you guys notice my super smooth transition there?
	I'm gonna call myself out.
	But, uh, did you see the QAnon South Park episode?
	I did, uh... Woah, woah, woah!
	Did you just give yourself credit for a transition and then use that to make the transition?
	That's not how that works!
	A second transition?
	I had made it already!
	What?
	This ain't no special sunglasses!
	We don't need that many transitions.
	That was, that was powerful.
	I, this is why Elle gets paid the big bucks.
	I will, I will first, I will first come at this on like on an entertainment level.
	And I'm sure Elle will join in on the entertainment side of this Q and on episode of South Park.
	I did not find this episode very funny.
	Yeah, man, they definitely forgot to write any humor into their comedy show this time around.
	I just didn't laugh at all.
	The first 10 minutes was just bitching about old people getting vaccines and people being mad at old people for getting vaccines.
	And they went to that well twice and there was nothing to it.
	The first time it wasn't funny.
	So I don't know why they would have thought going to this unfunny well a second time was going to pay any better dividends.
	Well, I mean, I guess that whole bit that they kept going back to, which was like, you know, because it wasn't just that the old people were getting vaccinated ahead of time.
	It was because the old people of the freedom to be out in the world, they were acting like like hooligans.
	And it's just like, I think that like for Man, I really hate using this term, but I will, even though I don't like it.
	For, like, the lowest common denominator, old people doing young person stuff is still, like, a fucking gut buster.
	I mean, like, people want to go see that bad grandpa movie or whatever, and, like, everybody loves those jackass the movie bits where it's, you know, those cats, like, dressed up in, like, full-body old prosthetics so they can go get lewd in public.
	It's like, ah!
	Ah, old people.
	Am I right, guys?
	Old people?
	Ah, so good.
	I think that might play better when it's, like, real life.
	It animated old people doing dumb shit.
	It just didn't hit me in any way.
	Uh, bro, maybe you didn't notice, but their age was advanced?
	Come on, dude.
	Like, get with it.
	Joke.
	Ah!
	Jokes!
	Oh, God.
	Jokes.
	You know it.
	So, the show lurches painfully through It's the start of it because the show is mostly about the vaccine but then it finally hits the B plot which is QAnon and the QAnon side of it was
	Fine, in the sense that for a lot of it, they got so much of their QAnon stuff right from the point of me being the QAnon expert guy that's monitoring how you handle QAnon in the media, you no good so and so.
	But I'll get into more of that later.
	But it was just what again, it just wasn't very funny.
	It was just kind of Oh, look, they drew the Q Shaman into the show.
	Ain't that a hoot and a holler.
	And They did follow the kind of ridiculous pattern finding nonsense and all that kind of stupidity, but they just didn't put any zip on it or any actual humor on it.
	I was just watching it and going like, yeah, that's what a QAnon idiot thinks.
	That's how they do this kind of scattershot way to connect dots to get to the predetermined point they want to believe in.
	And sometimes that's where, I mean, because that's certainly not the first time they've just sort of like played their episode fairly straight.
	And that is supposed to sort of be the joke, right?
	Where, you know, they hope that people are just like, these people are so crazy.
	The stuff that's coming out of their mouth, like they don't need to write a joke here because the stuff that's being said is so insane.
	But in like previous episodes, like when they did their Scientology one forever ago, that's right, we're going back to take a shot at Scientology.
	Fuck you, Xenu.
	We're coming for Elrond.
	Yeah, if you want to stop me, Elrond, you know where to find me.
	Anyway, when they did their Scientology episode, and they had the crazy Scientologist beliefs on display on the show, they punctuated the joke with the big fucking subtitle at the bottom that just says, this is what Scientologists actually believe.
	And there just wasn't any of that for the QAnon rambling to sort of, like, let people know why it was funny, right?
	Like, if you were watching that South Park episode about Scientology without that disclaimer, you might just be like, oh, they made up this wacky stuff, like, what a goof.
	But knowing that that's, like, actually what Scientologists are into, it, like, makes it funnier because you're just like, no fucking way!
	Right, exactly.
	If they really hammered home the point that this is what QAnon believes in, and they've gone down this rabbit hole to the point where they're that far gone, now people can actually see and react to it and be like, oh man, these people are really fucked up.
	Because you might not think that this is really where they're at.
	The whole substory of Adrenochrome and all this other stuff.
	It would have just been really better if they hit you over the head with the fact that this is the nonsense, QAnon believes it, and they are obsessed and totally into it.
	And what they absolutely could have done, especially with the fact that they were just so all over the place, is they could have debunked this stuff at the same time.
	And it wouldn't have taken them like 30 seconds And that would have taken a lot of the air out of the QAnon response to this show.
	Because we've kind of gone over the fact that this show was very unfunny and not a great episode for Entertainment Point.
	The thing is is that you watch that episode as like a normal person and you see all the ridiculously stupid dumb shit QAnon believes in.
	You see how the people that believe in it are belittled and ridiculed as being just totally off the rails and they're gone.
	QAnon saw that show and they fucking loved it.
	Of course they loved it!
	For whatever fucking reason, Trey and Matt decided to give their Trump analog a redemption arc in this episode.
	Like, they went out of their way to give Mr. Garrison, aka South Park Universe's version of Donald Trump, like, an actual redemption arc throughout the whole thing.
	And, like, that character is never...
	That character's never not into the redemption arc part of it, right?
	The first thing that happens when the Q-Folk show up, they're just like, hey, you're out here buying groceries, but we're followers.
	What are you doing?
	And he doesn't buy into it at all.
	He immediately is just like, fuck you!
	And it's like, what?
	What are you talking about?
	You can't have your Donald Trump analog and eat it too.
	I get it.
	It's hard for you guys to write new characters that stick after a billion years, but you don't just get to face turn Mr. Garrison again.
	Like, you went out of your way to heel turn him for the duration of the Trump's presidency, so now that's that guy.
	It's just like so weird that they went out of their way in this thing to just make him like, Cool saves the day!
	Mr. Garrison is back and everyone loves him!
	And the other thing about that was that at the end, they validated him and they validated QAnon because he was right!
	Trey and Matt actually are part of the Illuminati.
	They are part of the New World Order.
	Mr. Garrison, uh, Deadpool breaks the fourth wall and cuts a deal with them, and they take care of him.
	And that was the show ends, spoiler alert, the show ends with Mr. Garrison being like, Hey, thanks pedophile Satanists.
	And that was such a weird spin at the end to be like, Oh, no, Mr. Garrison is actually right.
	And so is the QAnon community on South Park.
	We are actually the secret power behind the scenes.
	We are actually the gods of this world.
	And we fix everything for the guy that was our villain for the last four years and is now a hero and a good guy on our show.
	For reasons that are not really made clear to a watcher of the show, because I had no idea of Mr. Garrison's backstory.
	And I understood from this episode that he was the president, which was confusing to me, but whatever on that front.
	Oh yeah, I mean, for the duration of the Trump presidency, he was their surrogate Trump, not just in the position, but literally he had spray tan on his face and had a blonde wig on.
	They made him look like Trump.
	Like, so he wasn't just the former president, he was literally their Trump stand-in, and then this whole episode of South Park that they've devoted to, you know, the wackiness of QAnon and the suckiness of the virus, like, ended up being also just like, and you know, Donald Trump is still pretty cool, I guess, or whatever, give him a pass if he wants one, whatever, fuck it, and it's just like...
	It's like, Trey and Matt, I mean, I know that you like to pretend like you're playing both sides of the aisle, but we all fucking know at the end of the day that you guys are liberal.
	I mean, fucking, like, what are we talking about here?
	Like, use your massive platform to maybe, I don't know, suggest that Trump might deserve a second chance or whatever?
	Yeah, Trump didn't need a redemption arc.
	They apologized about ManBearPig to Al Gore because they're like, oh, we were wrong about climate change.
	And you were right, Al Gore.
	And then also, like, it's not enough to just have him at the very end just be like, and secretly, I'm still evil, because then the plot of your show is that the guy was redeemed in the eyes of all the people in your universe, but secretly QAnon has the power behind the scenes.
	Like, they're really the ones in power.
	They just have to hide it or whatever.
	It's like, what sort of, what are you trying to say?
	Like, I just have no fucking idea.
	Like, that's another thing about the episode.
	Not only was it unfunny, I, like, had no idea what their fucking point was.
	It was just like, like, I get it.
	They have to make, they have to make this stuff on a pretty fast turnaround, but like, At least, like, give me a through line that sort of makes, like, a statement or something.
	I mean, you guys are ostensibly making art here.
	Like, it could be popcorn-y, but you have to be trying to say something, even if that something is like, look at this spectacle!
	But South Park looks like shit, so you can't really have a spectacle.
	Right.
	And the other thing was, is that they bring up Adrenochrome and I, again, just as like the asshole debunker kind of guy, I just wanted someone on the show to be like, Hey, you can buy Adrenochrome off the internet for 50 bucks.
	Here's a website.
	And you just, and you do that and you just punch QAnon square in the cock and balls because They saw the story about Adrenochrome and they were like, Oh, look, South Park's telling people about Adrenochrome.
	There are people who are going to Google that shit.
	They're going to get red-pilled.
	Oh, South Park's going to get us millions of new followers.
	Thank you for helping triggering the Great Awakening Q&A from South Park.
	And I mean, you can just do quick debunks.
	Just like, just take the air out of the tire on this stuff very quickly, very easily.
	And they got everything right for who the people that believed in QAnon were.
	For the majority of the arc, like having quote-unquote the whites be the people that believed in QAnon, and having them be like these nobody characters that were harassing Mr. Garrison, and then they have their own little group of basically NPCs with the drawn-in Q-Shaman being the evil tutors that are red-pilling the children.
	All of that was fine, but once you red-pilled Butters, as it were, You have a couple little moments, a couple little shots of Butters in his QAnon t-shirt waving an American flag
	And that's all these people needed.
	That's the thin gruel that QAnon needs to feel validated and beloved.
	Everyone else looks at that and just thinks that Butters is this C or D tier character on the show.
	And he didn't even really believe in QAnon.
	He was just doing it to join a club.
	Because Butters is an outcast.
	He's a sad little boy.
	But you have that moment of him waving the flag in his Q t-shirt and all the QAnon memesters grab that screenshot and they just started putting it everywhere.
	Butters on Epstein Island.
	Butters hanging out with Joe Biden.
	Butters hanging out with Pepe the Frog and other racist iconetry.
	And it's just like, that's the thing.
	You just give them less than an inch.
	You give them a millimeter and they run with it because it's all they need.
	It's all they want.
	It's just that little moment where it makes you.
	Yeah, I mean, these are the same people that get excited about the way that chords are bundled up on stages
	and stuff, you know?
	It's like, oh, Donald Trump is on stage, but look at the chord by his feet.
	See how it clearly makes a cue?
	And it's just like, no, I didn't see that.
	And even now looking at it and squinting at it, I'm having trouble seeing it.
	But I guess, buddy.
	And they're like, oh man, storm is coming.
	Right, exactly.
	Are you saying a crazy cult movement that's been massively deplatformed and shoved to the edges,
	giving them a bunch of attention was maybe not, not in a critical way, was maybe not the best idea?
	I think in the absence of humor, yes, because if they were more clearly satirizing the shit, it would have gone down a little smoother.
	But the fact that it wasn't funny and it wasn't informative in any way other than telling a bunch of, like, you know, idiots what QAnon is about, but in a way that might sort of get them into it, you know what I mean?
	It wasn't funny and it wasn't informative, so it was just kind of a huge nothing, and I think that's damaging.
	Right, because I think their defense would be, well look how crazy we made the whites in like their weird dot connecting bullshit.
	And we did the whole trope with the corkboard and the string and stuff.
	Yeah, that's the central cue.
	You didn't put the disclaimer on that shit.
	That is what I would say back to them.
	I'd be like, you need to fucking do what you did with Scientology to make sure that people know that you are not amplifying this by exaggerating.
	You are presenting the actual beliefs of a not insignificant amount of very stupid and damaged people.
	Very dangerous, yeah.
	Right, exactly.
	You just make it clear that this is what these people do, this is what they believe in, that when you bring up adrenochrome, debunk adrenochrome immediately.
	Because on top of that, you have both sides of this issue where you have the idiots who don't know what QAnon is that are looking at it for the first time, and they might get the wrong idea of it, but you also have the QAnon believers Who are thirsty as fuck and are looking for any media that gives them a shout out, even if it's the most negative way possible.
	And if you have some jamoke watching South Park and they bring up adrenochrome and that person's like, oh yeah, the adrenochrome.
	Now they're going to tell him about how they drink the blood of these children they kill.
	And instead of debunking it immediately, they have a bunch of animated stills of Obama, Hillary, other people drinking
	the blood of children.
	They actually are like, here's our validation of the adrenochrome theory.
	Yeah, I mean, making a thing like that without doing any sort of debunking, it just gives the actual supporters
	something to hang their hat on.
	Even if what they're hanging their hat on is literally just, hey, isn't it going to be funny to take screen grabs off of this scene that the South Park guys were totally playing as a goof and then just using it unironically in our meme culture?
	I'm sure the Hillary and Obama drinking child blood as they, like, rip a face off a kid, like, image from South Park is probably going to be pretty popular at Q Circles.
	Right, exactly, exactly.
	I mean, that's the thing.
	Right.
	You're doing their work.
	You're helping them out.
	And that's just not cool.
	You should want to put them on the back foot by hitting them with the fact that what they're saying is bullshit.
	And here's why it's clearly and obviously bullshit.
	And I just think that if they just put in a little more work, and if they had also just not had a relevant named character do anything supportive of QAnon, It would have been way better as a bit of media critique on the QAnon movement.
	Instead, all QAnon got out of it was they had a picture of Hollywood covered in blood, and they talked about Epstein killing himself, and they talked about adrenochrome.
	South Park got our message out to the world!
	And that's how this works.
	It's like, basically, QAnon is that kid in grade school who everyone humiliates and degrades, but then after a while, suddenly he's proud of being the kid who eats worms.
	He's proud of being the kid that does the weird stuff.
	And you think you're belittling him, but you're just kind of playing into what he wants, because he wants that attention.
	He wants that notoriety from having your scorn and your ridicule.
	So overall, the Avengers in Hellworld gives the South Park QAnon special a B. No, that's kidding.
	It sucks.
	It sucks.
	Don't watch it.
	But speaking of media critiques of Q, it's written as HBQ instead of HBO in our show notes here.
	The HBO Q documentary, people are starting to get early screenings.
	Yeah, I wrote the cue inside of O on purpose.
	The fact that you didn't notice it until just now means you're not doing your job.
	Exactly.
	Also, you could have segued even better if you had known that South Park is streaming on HBO Max.
	I mean, come on.
	You gave yourself all that credit earlier that you were undeserved, so I'm sticking it to you now.
	There was a better segue and you biffed it.
	Yeah, I did.
	I did.
	You threw to me and I just missed it.
	But meanwhile, back at the segue.
	How's that HBO documentary doing?
	We don't know.
	We haven't seen it yet, but some people have seen it and have offered reviews and the reviews are all over the place because generally speaking, I think the main critique that I've seen in a negative light is that it's six parts.
	And they maybe could have got it done in like four.
	We'll see.
	But this was a very long documentary that was done by the person who did this.
	He was basically embedded inside Ron and Jim Watkins' empire, as it were, for years.
	And Frederick Brennan, who was their employee and started 8chan, He also has a major part in this documentary.
	So this is a very this is this is over a long stretch of time.
	And they're the main focus, which the Watkins boys need to be the main focus of most QAnon related bullshit.
	Because again, they ran the platform that he was posting on.
	They control who has the Q account, all that kind of stuff.
	And this documentary, spoiler alert, is going to make the incredible, outlandish claim that Ron Watkins is Q. What?
	Say what?
	Yeah, so, mind-blown gif here.
	Hold on to your wagyu hats, because they're about to be blown off at Revelation.
	I always forget about the hat.
	It's like the only thing I know about the fucking guy.
	He probably was Q, and he wore that stupid dub cowboy hat he was bragging about.
	And he tried to get on OAN as an election software expert, because he read the manual on Dominion voting machines.
	And he's very much named in the lawsuit by Dominion.
	Well, no, he got seasoned assistant.
	The Watkins boys only got hit with a C and D. They didn't actually get hit with one of those billion dollar lawsuits from Dominion.
	But they were told to cut the shit or the billion dollar lawsuit was coming after them.
	So that is the thing that is kind of We're looking at for this thing is what is going to happen with this documentary?
	How substantial is their information vis-a-vis Ron Watkins and his actually being QAnon?
	Yeah, I mean, this shit has all gotten pretty popular recently.
	Everybody's trying to get to market with their fucking Q documentary, and they all seem to be the same shit.
	Who is Q?
	Who could it be?
	The mystery of who Q is!
	And it's just like, wow, you're all just wildly missing the point because you don't actually care.
	You just want people to watch your shit.
	And trying to decipher the mystery of the enigmatic Q is a lot sexier than explaining to you the dangers of a cult that exists in your fucking neighborhood.
	Like, I don't know.
	Yeah, I mean, I understand on the one hand wanting to have some accountability for Q and what Q has done to our society.
	To like, to actually find somebody and be able to say this is the prick who did this shit and now we as a society can at the very least shame and shun them for having done this.
	But On the other side of it, the cat is so far out of the bag on this stuff that even if this documentary had rock-solid, ironclad, irrefutable evidence that Ron Watkins was Q, and I, of the very boring QAnon researcher mainstream belief that it started off as Paul Ferber or Tracy Beans,
	I mean, that's sort of the point, right?
	If they had definitive proof that it was Ron Watkins and it was always him, that's one thing.
	There's a single target that we could lay the blame squarely upon.
	But if, like it seems, Q has been multiple people with multiple agendas over the course of his run, including but not limited to, yo, I was just goofing, Like, then who are we blaming?
	If they bothered to talk to the actual researchers about it, there would be all these credible breadcrumbs that lead to that assumption.
	It was mad people and some of them were just fucking around at the beginning and it sort of spiraled out of control as the football got handed off.
	You know, if they had bothered to look into that, then maybe the mystery of Q wouldn't be as sexy because, like, nobody's going to want to be satisfied if at the end of that documentary they're just like, and Q was a lot of people, the end.
	Because that's, you don't watch a, you don't want to watch a murder mystery only to have it be like, it was everybody.
	Because, you know, Orian Express did that forever ago.
	Yeah, I just wanted to bring that up, the moment you mentioned that.
	But yeah, the thing is, is that it's just, even if we got this evidence and we were able to pin down it all, QAnon is not going to go away.
	QAnon is not going to say, oh yeah, it was wrong, so we all got hoodwinked, waka waka, and all the grifters just shut down their social media accounts.
	They stopped trying to sell people $30 cans of coffee and faith healing classes and all this other bullshit.
	In fact, if in some way the police or whatever, the FBI did get involved and tried to put fuckin' Ron Watkins in irons and like lock him up, he would ascend to Q godhood!
	Oh yeah!
	If they were just like, you are under arrest for being Q. Like, holy shit, the cult would go bananas!
	Oh, yeah.
	First of all, they would just say that it wasn't really Ron, and then they would say that Ron has been framed by the Cabal, and this makes Ron the greatest hero that's ever lived.
	Yeah, he would be their Jesus figure.
	mean, it would suck for him in the sense that he would face a
	trial and potentially go to jail for whatever they could possibly
	come up with for crimes that he would have committed. But crimes against fashion.
	Yes, all the yes, the wagon for wearing a wagyu cowboy hat sentenced to murder.
	His wagyu hat and his very dumb mustache.
	Yeah, but it's just like all of that. It would only make him
	this incredible hero and it would not do anything to dissuade people from the truth of QAnon as it were the belief that
	what Q said was accurate.
	And that was always the way it was going to be.
	People always asked me, what would happen if someone hacked the Q account and posted something where they were like, this is all bullshit.
	Go back to your families.
	It was a dumb LARP.
	Get over yourselves.
	Shut up, Q. If that happened... It would split QAnon down the middle between the half of people that were just like, Q has obviously been hacked, our leader would never betray us, and half of the people that were just like, this is obviously some sort of, like, super secret op, and there's some sort of code in this, and we have to decipher it.
	Right, exactly.
	No one would be convinced by it.
	No one would go home.
	Everyone would keep on believing.
	That's the thing about these documentaries that I don't think is addressed nearly enough, is that you can't kill QAnon with a silver bullet.
	You can't defeat it by finding its origin.
	Far too late.
	It's far too late.
	It's a very silly idea.
	Yeah, if logic could kill faith and or ideology, then science would have killed religion forever ago.
	Yes, exactly.
	We would have been like, look, we have created fire and gods are dead.
	And that would have been the end of that.
	But it isn't because there's always like the ephemeral, the unknown.
	And that's very attractive to people, and, you know, it's very attractive to most people, but those that are especially susceptible to suggestion, or maybe have mental illnesses, or maybe are just in a bad place in their lives, like, you know, they can get sucked into a thing like QAnon, and no amount of pointing out to them that every word out of their mouth from that point on has been crazy pants is going to change anything, because to them it's all perfectly logical.
	Yeah, exactly.
	This just all fits together perfectly.
	And cue Apes Christianity.
	Cue works off of that whole religion thing.
	Shocker!
	Oh yeah, no kidding.
	I mean, that's the point is that this is a new branch of Christianity, really.
	But we're also willing to tolerate literally anyone.
	I saw a post on Telegram today that was kind of like, Hey!
	Like, we have a lot of Christians in this movement, we have a lot of people that aren't really believers, but we all are bros and we all get together just to fight the deep state.
	And my only thought was, well, hey, you do have schisms, like the JFK Jr.
	people are not allowed in your clubhouse because they make you mad.
	The reason why you guys accept anybody is because you're the minority.
	You're out of power.
	If QAnon ever ascended to power, the Christians would excommunicate the atheists right quick.
	All the different denominations of Christianity exist.
	There'd be a thousand branches of QAnon religion out there the moment you pricks ever caught your hands on power and could start like divvying up the pie as it were.
	Alright, I'm gonna try and do my job a little better.
	Our next item I have Insurrection Revisited.
	What's going on there?
	Uh, well, we had, uh, two, uh, two people got arrested, uh, for quote unquote, uh, assaulting officer, uh, Sicknick, uh, because I, and I assume it is because of the fact that we, they haven't concluded the autopsy on officer Sicknick.
	So they don't quote-unquote know how he died, but they do know the people who, uh, they got on tape, uh, spraying him with, uh, bear mace.
	Uh, Julian Ellie Cater of Pennsylvania and George, uh, Tateos of Morgantown.
	I probably butchered that last name, but I'm terrible with names.
	But basically, these guys were caught on video.
	I assume this also could be totally wrong.
	But they were, they're the guys that were the people that sprayed mace at a bunch of cops.
	And Sicknick was one of those cops.
	And when you get hit with bear mace, it can cause chemical reactions that can lead to really bad results.
	And Sicknick died the next day of a stroke.
	And so This is a thing that's big in the QAnon community because during the Capitol riot, during the assault on the Capitol building, a bunch of police officers got attacked with flagpoles, people were hit with fire extinguishers, and all this kind of stuff.
	And the early reports on how Sick Nick died were that he got hit in the head with a fire extinguisher and it caved his skull in and he got killed.
	I thought QAnon loved cops.
	Oh, yeah, they did up until the military.
	Yes, exactly.
	The military and the cops, hashtag Blue Lives Matter, hashtag
	stand for the flag, all that stuff.
	It all kind of goes away oddly.
	When it's really weird how QAnon seems to really love the military and police
	when they're doing their normal job, which in the heads of QAnon people
	is probably killing Brown people.
	But when they turn their attention to white people, uh, hmm, that's super, super odd.
	Like when they came after poor Tucker Carlson, leave him alone!
	He's so white!
	You marine snowflakes, leave Tucker Carlson alone!
	Yeah, but what happened with Officer Sicknick was that they created this whole narrative.
	The media was lying about how he died.
	We don't know how he died.
	It could have been anything.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	And now we actually have people that were arrested for assaulting him because, again, I'm sure if the autopsy concludes that the chemical irritants in the mace that he was hit with caused his stroke that killed him, the charges against these people will be upgraded to murder on some level.
	Manslaughter, murder in the third degree, etc, etc.
	This whole idea that the media was lying and they were using Sicknick's death in order to promote that this was a violent rebellion when the only person who got killed was that poor QAnon lady a cop shot.
	Marble, marble.
	When we watched the videos, we saw what these people were doing.
	We saw that cop that was like crushed in the doorway screaming for help.
	We saw these people attacking police officers.
	And now we have people Uh, arrested in the, uh, attack on the officer who died.
	And once they can, uh, connect the dots from the attack that killed him, then the charges will probably be, uh, magnified.
	Although, like, right now, uh, these people are already being arrested for assaulting a police officer, which comes with a 20-year sentence if convicted.
	So, I mean, it's not like they're getting, uh, they're not getting a slap on the wrist if this is all they get.
	Anything else popping off in the world of the post-insurrection reality?
	Is there any more movement, Q-related movement, in the aftermath of all that horseshit?
	We had an army reservist who turned out he got arrested, and guess what?
	He's basically a Nazi.
	Timothy Hale Cusinelli, and his headshot has been floating around on television recently, and he literally just has a Hitler mustache, and he tries to part his hair like Hitler.
	He looks like MC Chris from back when he was cool, but also Hitler.
	Yes!
	It is not even questionable.
	It is just an actual Hitler mustache.
	He just looks like MC Chris from 15 years ago rocking the full-on Hitler mustache and also like doing Nazi salutes and shit and also parting his hair like Hitler.
	Or wearing his hair like Hitler.
	You know, he just really wants to look like the Big H.
	Yeah, and all of these things.
	But this guy, what makes me laugh so much in these stories is they call him a Nazi sympathizer.
	And it's like, no, he's not a sympathizer.
	He's actually a Nazi.
	You don't grow a Hitler mustache just because you're quote-unquote sympathetic to Nazis.
	Yeah, Tucker Carlson isn't a white supremacist sympathizer.
	He just is a white supremacist.
	Absolutely.
	And it is assumed that he would sympathize with his own kind.
	Right.
	And what's so funny about that is whenever anyone brings up Tucker Carlson being a white supremacist, he's like, oh, I don't even know what that means.
	And it's like, you grew up in California.
	We didn't have racial identities.
	Everybody were just shapeless, formless blobs with no culture.
	I don't speak color.
	Yeah, I don't see color.
	I only know Western civilization, which is not a dog whistle in any way, shape, or form.
	I mean, he's... Tucker Carlson doesn't see color, which made it really hard for him to differentiate who was and wasn't a Mexican rapist after Donald Trump said that all Mexicans were rapists.
	He would just go up to people and just be like, you speak the English tongue right now so I know if you're a rapist.
	And then it's like, but they're just like, but sir, I'm clearly white.
	And like, you know, very like, like, look at me, I'm from Norway.
	And he's just like, I don't see color.
	I need, I need to make sure that your English is good, fool.
	He can only hear if you are of inferior stock, as it were.
	Yeah, he's like a, he's like a fucking white supremacist daredevil.
	He can't see color, but he can hear it, baby.
	He's like super hearing.
	He's like, two miles in that direction.
	Ebonics, let's get the fuck out of here.
	It just goes the opposite direction.
	There's a grim specter from the past I haven't heard.
	Ebonics!
	Given the ridiculous bullshit Tucker's trying to bust out in order to keep his audience agitated and angry, I expect that will probably be a segment in the next two weeks.
	He'll bring it up.
	He'll bring it back.
	One of these days, I hope that our podcast attracts the listenership of a very good comic book artist, because more than anything, I want a fucking splash page of Tucker Carlson as some white supremacist daredevil!
	Instead of the two D's on his costume, he could have two H's!
	I mean, come on!
	It's just so fucking good!
	If anybody wants to, I'll write dialogue for a nice big splash page.
	I'll give Tucker Carlson some internal monologue.
	Something real quick.
	I might not be able to see color, but I sure can't hear it.
	He's just like jumping off a roof, but like away from a black neighborhood.
	What does he have instead of a cane?
	Oh, something racist.
	Swastika.
	Something racist?
	What's the most racist weapon?
	That's a good question.
	A police baton.
	I mean, a police baton is just the easiest thing in the world.
	I don't know, how about systemic oppression?
	That's what he's got.
	That's in his kit.
	It absolutely is.
	Oh man, that one went really off the rails.
	Yeah.
	Thanks Tucker Carlson for being such a piece of shit.
	Alright, do we want to head on into listener questions?
	More than anything, I think we have a shining new bump for this too.
	Yes.
	Our listeners got questions.
	We got answers.
	It's time for Q and A. Man, I'm fucking embarrassed how long it took for me to realize that we could just call our segment Q and A because, I mean, it was fucking right there the whole time.
	And my mantra is that the juiciest fruit hangs the lowest.
	That is your mantra.
	It's a thing I say all of the time.
	In fact, anytime I'm criticized for going after some low hanging fruit, I'm just like, man, that shit's extra juicy.
	So A.S.I.
	Millard, one of our two Grand Inquisitors, asks, how much Doomer mentality is affecting QAnon?
	They've all seemingly decided, Q and the team have never really dislodged the cabal and given up things they don't like, and given up all the things they don't like happening in the world to Biden and the Democrats.
	Is this the most notable shift we've seen since January 20th?
	I would say that when you go into, because Gab is one thing, because Gab is just timelines where all the main QAnon promoters are basically just doing what they did on Twitter.
	But Telegram is A chat room, basically.
	And you see the main QAnon promoters reacting to their fans in real time.
	And you just see so many QAnon promoters telling their followers to quit being such negative Nancys, quit being such Debbie Downers.
	And it's so funny.
	The guy, PepeLivesMatter, he literally every day now has a morale booster thread, which is the most ridiculous safe space, just happy thoughts thing I could ever imagine.
	If these people were living in a mirror universe where Telegram existed during the Trump presidency and in 2018 there was some sort of pro-Hillary Telegram channel where the big Hillary fan was posting like, positive vibes only today, guys!
	We all love Hilldog!
	They would shit on that so aggressively and they would be making fun of, look at these libs in their dumb safe space where they go worship Hillary, losers!
	And the fact that they're doing it for themselves and they just can't see that it's the exact same thing that they've railed against for years, it just makes me laugh so much.
	It's just so ridiculous that they're just that unaware.
	They just don't see what they've become.
	It just blows my mind.
	And a lot of these people, they will defend, they'll fall back on God.
	They'll be like, hey, if you're doubting the plan now, you're doubting God!
	Which is such a bullshit way to emotionally blackmail someone into staying in your failed movement.
	And they just are working all these angles to try to keep people in and believing and not questioning why nothing is the way they said it was going to be and all that kind of stuff.
	It is definitely a problem for QAnon that their payoffs have not come and that people are getting angry.
	And this is why QAnon is so different from the Illuminati New World Order stuff.
	Because the Illuminati New World Order stuff was just miserable.
	You were just sad.
	You lost.
	The world sucked.
	QAnon was supposed to be hopeful and cheerful, and you were going to win.
	The world was going to be saved.
	Still is cheerful, brah.
	Exactly!
	Just chill vibes over here only, my friend.
	Damn right.
	Storm's coming any day now, buddy.
	Don't take the black pill.
	Don't be negative.
	Trust the plan.
	Believe in Q and the military.
	Unless Tucker's dunking on them, then don't believe in the military too much.
	But it's just all of that.
	It's just they've become... Look, bro, let's all just relax and invest in physical silver, okay?
	That is my favorite thing.
	The piece of shit guy that all the quote-unquote serious QAnon people hate who has just crushed all of them in market share.
	He literally posts physical silver fucking shit.
	Every like 20th post on his telegram is, hey, look at this great price on physical silver.
	Better grab it up before the dollar implodes!
	And I came to wrap my head around it.
	Physical silver's been around since fucking Oklahoma City.
	It's been around since the 90s.
	It's so fucking ridiculous.
	Why would I invest in physical silver when I can invest in a fucking non-fungible token for like a Pepe image or whatever and make like 70 million dollars off of it?
	I had to read so much.
	Bro, I don't know if you guys know this, but all of the pictures we've ever seen on the internet, they're all worth tens of millions of dollars.
	Isn't that shit crazy?
	And you're just like, but can I look at them anytime I want to?
	Yes, you can.
	And you might be asking, but can I just replicate them at any point?
	Yep, you can also do that because they're just on the Internet forever.
	And you might be asking yourself, well, then how can I buy it?
	And that's a good fucking question.
	I mean, I still don't know what the fuck's going on with that shit.
	We are going to sell our entire back catalog of podcasts as NFTs, so if you wish to give us tens of millions of dollars for them, please do.
	Oh yeah, if you want to be the proud owner of that clip of me just yelling Turbotain that Mike uploaded to our feed, we will create an NFT for you for that shit.
	I'll sell it to you for the low price of $100,000.
	for that shit. I'll sell it to you for the low price of $100,000.
	That's right. For $100,000, you can own Elshad's Turbo Teen. That's yours forever, even
	though anyone else on the planet could listen to it at any time for free.
	You would own it.
	Exactly.
	Think about that.
	It's yours.
	Boom.
	And off topic, Skittles or M&M's?
	Ooh, are we talking about basic versions of both?
	I would go with basic, I would assume.
	Basic Skittles over basic M&M's for sure.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, basic Basic M&M's kind of blow, that's why they made a million better ones.
	I don't think there's ever been an M&M downgrade.
	Every M&M I've had is better.
	Peanut M&M is the best M&M for me.
	You don't even know.
	They've gone so far beyond the peanut M&M, pretzel M&M.
	You don't even know.
	M&M's that are also like little crunch bars.
	They've got the little crunchy airiness to them.
	Like, you don't even know.
	Like, crack a like, like M&Ms that are also like little, little, what's it called there?
	The crunch bars, they've got the little fucking crunchy airiness to them.
	Delicious.
	I'll have to do a test run one of these days.
	They've got peanut M&M's which I suspect are just Reese's Pieces that were too defective to actually make a bag of the good candy and are now peanut butter M&M's and are still somehow better than regular M&M's.
	So thank you Grand Inquisitor A.I.S.
	Millard for the questions.
	Amanda Skinland asks, who is Elle exactly?
	So Elle, defend yourself.
	I mean, the reason I use a codename is so that I don't have to get into who I am exactly.
	But I will get into who I am broadly.
	I'm a cisgender, heterosexual, white male.
	I'm wildly overweight.
	I've got a beard because it simulates a jawline.
	I'm into nerdy shit.
	I'm liberal, which is why I'm on this podcast, because I'm here to bring pop culture-related levity and an unabashedly liberal slant that is also kind of angry, because I just don't like conservatives.
	I think they can fuck off.
	Also, I love eating that vajayjay.
	Not that you asked, but it's a big part of what I'm about.
	We went blue.
	Dude, my whole life is blue.
	Also, what's blue about just being open about enjoying aspects of your sexuality?
	It's 2021!
	Sarge, it's 2021 and I love eating pussy and I will eat ass.
	So how you like me now?
	I just wanted to say that if the Grammys can be sex positive, so can Adventures in Hellworld.
	Yeah, dude.
	Everybody's up there pumping the fist over, you know, over WAP.
	Megan Thee Stallion crushing it.
	And I get it.
	I just admit it.
	I'm a cisgender heterosexual white male.
	I don't need anyone applauding me for just being me.
	But at the same time, I am woke enough to just be sort of like, you know, pretty casually into my sex life.
	You get it?
	You dig?
	Especially because as a big overweight guy, it is astonishing how well I've done in that field.
	Yes.
	And I mentioned all of that crazy shit because I can't truthfully answer the question because I don't want to reveal my actual identity here.
	So there you go.
	You get what you would have got if I was like a G.I.
	Joe, you know how they had like an action figure, they had like the little cardboard cutout thing that had all their stats on it.
	Like, on the back of my mind, you'd just be reading it.
	It'd just be like, oh yeah, you know, he's a white guy, he identifies in the mail and all that.
	Oh, wow!
	Woo-hoo!
	This took a turn!
	The bottom half of this is just how much he loves to eat pussy.
	And it says here, there's an asterisk, and then at the bottom it says, will eat ass.
	Okay, cool.
	That did take a turn!
	So, David Harris Griffin asks, have you ever caught someone or have been convinced but
	couldn't prove cheating in a live poker game?
	I have.
	Cheating is a kind of broad term.
	I have never seen someone like Paul McCart or do something that is like just absolutely, totally egregious.
	But in the poker community, there's something that we like to call angle shots, which is when you try to skirt the lines of poker efficacy and legality, or trying to use the rules in a untoward way to try and get your advantage, like a rules lawyer.
	Oh, spell-checking.
	Bella checking, yes, exactly.
	And there was this one, the worst angle shot I ever saw was a guy had about a hundred dollars in front of him.
	He grabbed that hundred dollars, slid it in front of him so it crossed the bet line, and then he just kept sliding it in a semicircle To the point where it hit the rail on the chair next to him where the seat was empty and no one was playing in that chair.
	And he was just holding his stack over there.
	And I knew what he was trying to do.
	He was trying to bait his opponent into calling an all-in without him quote-unquote going all in.
	And the guy called him, tabled his hand.
	I declared that person the winner.
	He then was like, well, call the floor over because he wanted to see if he could get away with it.
	I then told the floor what the guy did and the floor was like, no, fuck you.
	That's an angle shot.
	Give him a hundred bucks.
	You lose.
	And the guy was like, bro.
	And he was like, if you want to complain about this, I can throw you out too.
	And then the guy just like got mad, thought about rebuying and then just left.
	But that was that was the most egregious actual attempt by someone to fuck somebody out of money that I've ever seen.
	The worst incident I ever had was a guy was absolutely out of his mind on drugs and drunk and just he wasn't even he wasn't even coherent.
	And this giant ordeal broke out where another player who wasn't even in the hand accused the person who won the hand of having folded, and they didn't.
	And I was like, the guy didn't fold.
	His cards are in front of him.
	He wins.
	Give him the money.
	And the guy would not pay the $300 bet because the other person had goaded him into believing That in some way shape or form, he was not held accountable for the $300.
	And we ended up having to put that guy in the drunk tank in the prison cell under the Tropicana in Las Vegas, Nevada for three hours.
	And then after three hours of being in the drunk tank, we got a call on the phone saying, He's willing to pay the $300 and he can leave now.
	And then we got the $300 from him.
	We brought his money to the drunk tank with him and then took the three bills out of his rack, brought it upstairs and I put it back in the tray because I had to pay that money out of the company bank to the player that he fucked over to make that player whole because he was owed that money.
	He fucking won it.
	And this guy, This guy was just so fucking fucked up that he just couldn't see right from wrong and just wouldn't abide by my ruling.
	And it was the strangest thing I had ever seen, because I was like, dude, you lost.
	Give me the money.
	No!
	And I was like, you can't say no.
	You lost a hand of poker.
	This is how it works.
	Man, I can't believe somebody would have been wildly intoxicated and or on drugs in Las Vegas.
	That's surprising.
	I'm surprised.
	This shit is not the Las Vegas I know.
	Oh my, that was my favorite thing when I was a floor person out in Las Vegas and I would fucking throw drunk people out or I would cut them off.
	That was their excuse.
	Like, what the fuck man?
	We're in Vegas.
	What do you mean?
	I can't get more alcohol.
	And I'm like, I don't know.
	Cause if you fucking get into a car accident, you can fucking sue us now.
	Cause that's the way the law works.
	So being in Vegas does not mean you're allowed to be over served.
	And drunk people didn't take very well to that, so I had to throw them out.
	A lot.
	It was great.
	I hate dealing with drunk people, so of course I got a job as a floor person in Las Vegas on overnight shifts, where all I dealt with was heavily inebriated.
	Handle your shit, people.
	If you're gonna get fucked up, either on booze or whatever, just handle your shit.
	Keep it to yourself.
	Don't cause no trouble.
	Don't start nothing, won't be nothing.
	Nobody will ever accuse you of being over-served, as long as you're, like, not belligerent.
	Just rein it in.
	Just a little.
	They'll serve you until you black out on your feet and just crash behind the bar.
	Then they'll be like, what the fuck?
	And they'll be like, this person's blood alcohol is 50%.
	How is that possible?
	He is alcohol.
	Yeah.
	He now has alcohol blood content.
	He's actually more alcohol than blood.
	But yeah, I mean, just dumb belligerent morons that were drunk and over-served.
	It was great.
	It was just absolutely a wonderful period of my life.
	10 out of 10 would do it all over again if I could.
	Thank you for the question, David Harris Griffin.
	PJ asks, do you think the fastest way to erode Q support is to start referring to Q as she?
	I don't think giving Q a female gender would do anything than just make QAnon people mad.
	The way that whenever there's a pop culture song about God being a woman or using female genders for God just makes them mad.
	But it doesn't actually diminish the credibility of God.
	It just makes these people more indignant, that's all.
	Yeah, they'll just be like, my God has a big swing of penis.
	I mean, Tucker Carlson definitely doesn't think God or Q has a vagina.
	Those people are way too manly for that.
	Too masculine.
	Much like the Chinese army.
	The incredibly masculine Chinese army.
	When Tucker hears the boots of the Chinese army clacking on the ground, it just triggers his racism sense.
	It drives him wild.
	He loves it.
	It's the most melodic sound in the world.
	I don't know why I specifically singled out Tucker Carlson in Scientology for my two punching bags this episode, but boy howdy, I'm getting a workout on both of them.
	As well you should.
	And finally, we have Nark who has a couple questions for us, which is, one, do you believe the Q will re-emerge between now and the 2022 midterms?
	If not, do you believe someone will attempt to create a LARP along the likes of Q?
	And finally, would 8-Quinn be where this would happen?
	And, uh, I don't think Q is ever going to come back.
	I think, uh, mostly because I think the spoiler alert from the HBO documentary about Ron Watkins being Q, I think that's mostly accurate.
	And I think the Watkins boys just don't want that heat on them.
	I don't think they want to eat shit over having Q on their platform doing this stuff.
	I mean, Q has already been released into the world and they don't need to throw any more logs on that fire.
	That fire is now self-sustaining.
	We are now living in the post-Q world, as it were.
	I don't think Q, in the form that we know it, is ever going to come back.
	I do believe that at some point, instead of them making a new LARP, they're just going to continue with the LARP that they've already made their player's handbook for the LARP that they have now.
	And they're just going to keep using that handbook.
	They're just going to switch out the NPCs that you're fucking with.
	So at some point, I bet that there's probably going to be some new mouthpiece for the QAnon movement that is just some other anonymous person that is using the same trip code bullshit or whatever to just say whatever the fuck they want online with no repercussions.
	But they're going to have been like, In touch with Q or like, you know, get like, like Q can't be around anymore.
	But like, now I am the new Q mouth.
	Like I'm the Q Pope.
	And Q gives me the message.
	I give it to you and trust me, because those groups would eat that shit up.
	Like, oh, there's no way that some amount of them amount of them wouldn't just believe that sight unseen as soon as somebody tries it.
	Well, there are there is right now on telegram people who are claiming to be in contact with like military intelligence groups.
	that are akin to Q or RQ.
	And again, the serious Q people are so mad about this.
	Everyone's favorite bleach-drinking moron, Jordan Sather, is beside himself screaming and yelling about, oh, these people claim they know Q, that's bullshit, no outside cons.
	And it's like, guess what, dude?
	This is all a movie and people are going with the more entertaining movie.
	This is why You can't contain this thing.
	You don't have control over it.
	People want to believe what they want to believe, and people just want to be happy, and they want to believe the fun story.
	And also, nobody fucking batted an eye when Don Cheadle became a war machine.
	Like, he just showed up, and it was just like, oh, it's Don Cheadle now.
	Okay, well, that's cool.
	Roll with it.
	It's just the way it is.
	It's not like, you know, the whole QAnon thing is a movie and actors can be replaced
	as long as their characters are the same.
	Like, it's just the way it is.
	In my completely unprofessional opinion, if Trump makes a real move in 2024 to come back,
	I think that's when Q could try and come back because there'd be an attempt to,
	there'd be something to benefit from it.
	Like, right now, there's no reason to be Q. Like, all the hours drained out of it.
	Oh, I could totally see that being a thing where like the heat would be off for like three years at that point, you had all this year old and, and I think that at that point, like the Watkins boys would see that they probably wouldn't want to run the actual account, but they could totally see where like selling the account to someone who wants to do it.
	What a rollercoaster.
	valuable to them and that person would have value in being Hugh in that time and that could
	Think of good on that that could be good on that rabbit.
	Well, it'd be very interesting It would be a total mess, but it's possible. Absolutely
	possible What a roller coaster we shall see
	Did we answer the totality of that question I can't There was like three parts to it.
	It was like a novel.
	I think the last one was about 8Q being the most likely platform.
	I don't know about 8Q being the most likely platform because, again, these people are now so ingrained in quote-unquote free speech zones like Gab and Telegram where they can basically do the same shit they're doing on 8Q.
	Yeah, I think that just the ease of use, like if Gab or Telegram or some other service that can show up that has like, you know, Russian hosting that's rock solid and that won't give a fuck about ever deplatforming them for being Nazis or whatever, I feel like it's much more likely that that shit pops off on a more mainstream social media platform with ease of use than something like 8kun, right?
	Because you want grandma to love Q. You gotta have it.
	And grandma's never gonna like be able to like fucking ascertain who is who's the real, you know, mouthpieces through trip code or whatever.
	They're just not like, you know, you're people that are 50 and over just not savvy enough for that shit.
	Right.
	I think that that would be the kind of the payoff is that it would the new queue would like start on AidKun and then immediately tell people like, look, we got to branch out.
	We got to diversify.
	Here are my channels on Telegram and here's my account on Gab.
	And we're gonna do this.
	Oh, maybe entwine my theory and Sarge's theory.
	Maybe Q, original Q, shows up on 8Koon and it's just like, hey, for security reasons, I cannot have an account on Gab, but I would love for you to go to MyMouthpiece's account on Gab and get the hot Q info from them.
	Oh, that'd be so brutal.
	Oh, that'd be so good.
	I would love that.
	Because the serious QAnon people would have a stroke.
	They would be sold out so aggressively by that.
	It'd be so good.
	Well, like the rest of the world, we can only wait and watch.
	Yes.
	Thanks for the questions.
	That brings us to the end of the episode, my beautiful babies.
	We did it.
	Another one in the books, but not before we do the all-important shilling.
	That's right, we eliminated at the top of the episodes to lessen the burden on you, the listener, but we do still want your money.
	So, if you'd like to support the podcast, the easiest way to do that is actually free.
	It's cheap, it's free.
	All you need to do is tell a friend, tell an enemy, tell a lover, tell anybody that you like the podcast and direct them to also listen to our podcast.
	And if you can, if you like the podcast, go ahead and rate it or review it or do whatever your spirit moves you to do in assisting us to grow our brand.
	But, everyone's getting their stimulus money now, so if you've got a little money burner hole in your pocket, you can go ahead and donate it, like so much physical silver, but in this term, a usable currency, to us at our Patreon at Poker and Politics.
	Go ahead and throw us your money.
	Or, if you like the message, but you just don't really like us, or you'd rather just give your money to an actual charity, you can go ahead and do that by donating that sweet, sweet Biden money to love146.org.
	However, it is important to note that if you donate the money to us, you can get a shout-out like the shout-out I'm about to do for one of our longtime listeners, who has also decided to deliver us some sweet, sweet money.
	It is Feminist Propaganda on the Twitters.
	You can find them there.
	They're a QAnon debunking expert in the same sort of fashion as Mr. Mike Rands, and certainly not me, because I didn't know shit about this shit until I started the podcast, or joined the podcast.
	But yeah, if you want to pop over to their Twitter and follow them, Uh, that would be great, because they were nice enough to support us with some of those delicious doughs!
	So, once again, if the spirit moves you, Patreon, at Poker and Politics, or love146.org, to help put a dent in all of that child trafficking shit that Q claims to be about, but, you know, don't really do anything about.
	Now they're fighting the military.
	Yeah, now they're too busy fighting the US military when they're not busy trying to flee the country for Cancun.
	So yeah, go ahead and donate that money to love146.org and put a little positivity back in the world.
	So, for another successful episode of the Adventures in Hellworld podcast, I have been Hellworld Al, You can find me on Twitter at hellworldl, spelled with a Q. I'm signing off for myself, but also for hellworldsarge, who you can find on Twitter at hellworldsarge.
	That's me!
	And for Mr. Mike Rains, aka PokerandPolitics on Twitter.
	You want to say anything there, bud?
	That was me throwing to you!
	And I dropped the ball.
	Very much like Wes Welker in the Super Bowl, I failed.
	Yeah, way to Welker it, idiot.
	Anyway, one last time for myself, Mike Rains, and Hellworld Sarge, I'm Hellworld Al.
