♪ 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.
In the mysterious hell.
Hello my beautiful babies!
And before we get started, I gotta say, after last week I thought about it, I referenced Castlevania, talking about our new theme, and I was just like, you know, is that a criticism?
What is Castlevania if not a hell world?
And I was just like, okay, I can kind of see where that was going.
Anyway, hi beautiful babies!
That was just the aggressive off-ramping from the very start.
That is our trademark, our particular brand of unrelenting professionalism.
I feel like I wanted to get DJ Minimal efforts, like, you know, I wanted to get my slate clean with him at the beginning.
I read my ledger.
I need to clean it out.
That is fair.
That is a fair point.
And we appreciate DJ Minimal Effort and his minimal effort on all the stuff he does for everybody.
So this week we have all kinds of news involving our beloved alleged President Joe Biden.
And we have other just random kerfluffles going on in the world.
But most importantly, we have the big HBO expose on QAnon.
And is it a good thing?
Is it a bad thing?
Yeah, Q's Pose.
I'm going to bring that to the table.
Motion to the table.
Q's Pose.
Ooh, in that hot drill.
Oh, yeah.
Got some people working on some tile in the background.
Just classic podcast shit.
2021.
Same as 2020 was, it turns out.
Yep.
Home maintenance is a very important part of all podcasts nowadays.
Anyway, enough of that shit.
Here comes our content warning.
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, just going into the dumb little minutia of monitoring QAnon right now,
the current hot grifter on grifter action between the old guard,
or what I like to mockingly refer to as serious QAnon, and Ghost Ezra, their little spat is continuing to escalate
as Jordan Sather and CJ Truth have both come out against Ghost.
And then Ghost came out against some fake JFK Jr.
Lives account.
So it's just this giant gif of Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man, screaming about, You're the fraud!
No, you're the fraud.
And I'm just hoping that that fake JFK Jr.
account will come around and call Jordan Sather a piece of shit and a grifter and a fraud so that you just complete the circle of saying that everybody else is a fucking liar and I'm the honest one.
I'm the one giving it to you straight.
I mean, I do love watching these people divide themselves.
It's very satisfying in a way that I'm sure there's a German word for it that I don't know.
I still don't understand the JFK Jr.
thing.
When we were watching the- I understand he is supposed to be dead, but he's not!
They glossed over it real quick in the Q-Spose with Jordan Sather.
Featuring one Jordan Sather.
Because all those conspiracy theories are the exact fucking same.
It's like, oh, what's the deal with the Tupac is alive conspiracy?
And it's like, they think Tupac is alive.
It's like, the end.
Yeah, well, the thing with QAnon was when Q took one of his very long breaks, some guy named R jumped in and basically claimed to be JFK Jr.
And then when Q grabbed back the wheel of the bullshit posting on the Chan boards, someone was like, hey, is R legitimate?
And Q was like, no, fuck that guy.
He's a dumb piece of shit.
And then later on, someone was like, hey Q, the JFK Jr.
stuff, good, bad, indifferent?
And Q was like, nope, JFK Jr.
totally fucking dead.
And that created an actual schism in the community, because there were JFK Jr.
truthers who didn't want to hear that shit from Q. Q has to say that JFK Jr.
is dead.
How can Q compete with that many letters?
That's five letters.
That's like five individual letters?
JFK, JR?
I mean, come on.
You got numbers.
Can you even imagine what level of clearance that gives him?
He's got the telepathic implant that lets him launch nukes at any moment.
That's how secret that clearance would be.
He was the end result of the MKUltra program.
He's got the actual juice.
He is literally a god on earth.
So yeah, these dumb grifters are just pissing and moaning and whining at each other, and it's great.
It's just absolutely great to see.
What I can't wait for is the day when Lin Wood just whips his dick out and smacks all of them and calls everyone else frauds, and only Lin Wood is Q's bestest friend in the whole world.
That would, that would usually be the greatest moment, because, like, Lin Wood's planet, like, smooth, where he doesn't actually go full QAnon on his posts, but he winks and nods at those people.
That's all QAnon needs to feel happy and validated.
Yeah, and then Trump can denounce Lin, and we can be all Qui-Gon Jinn and be like, there's always a bigger fish!
That would be so great!
And then the Pope can denounce Trump, and then God himself would come down to denounce the Pope, and then the universe could manifest and denounce God!
Oh no!
I think... I'm pretty sure I read that in a Hulk comic.
Like, that was... And what's God to a non-believer who doesn't believe in anything?
So yes, we're going all the way around here.
Back to Kanye, who's obviously the biggest of all things.
The Prophet Kanye.
His words are timeless.
We just made a Reddit post by committee.
Oh, God.
Yeah, Reddit got spicy last night over dumb stuff that I didn't know anything about until everyone got angry about it, and now I don't even care anymore about any of it.
But wow, that was... That was a thrilling story.
What a ride.
Wasn't it, though?
Wasn't it?
Yeah.
There were dumb things happening on Reddit, and I cared.
And then I didn't care.
And then I took a nap.
And then I got up from the nap, and Reddit was still there, and they were saying dumb things.
And then I cared again.
Now I don't care.
There might be another nap in my future.
I want another nap so fucking bad, you have no idea.
You guys are denying me the nap, and it kind of sucks, but that's life.
We're just going to power through, and I'm going to power to the news.
From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Cues in the News!
Alright, what do we got first?
We've got Sidney Powell is back and the Kraken is dead because no one should have ever believed in the Kraken.
Please stop suing Sidney.
The Tucker Carlson maneuver also known as the Alex Jones maneuver.
So Sidney Powell ate a bowl of chili and forgot that she had said all these terrible things about Dominion.
Alex Jones, deep cut for all you lunatics that follow that shit.
But Sidney has come out with her defense against the billion-dollar lawsuit filed by Dominion against her, which is that no one could believe the bullshit she was saying was true.
The fact that she actually used this bullshit in actual legal filings makes this interesting to see if it's an actual defense you can use when you have done these things already in court where you claimed your secret source, the mysterious spider or whoever else, was someone working for you trying to get to the bottom of Dominion's corruption and other criminality.
But in the end, you would think that this sort of legal defense would be a person like, you know, taking a knee on their career and just calling it a wrap.
But man, that is demonstrably not true.
Like, yeah, the fan base for these people, they literally don't care if they see the wizard behind the curtain.
They just don't give a shit.
They're just like, oh, nice wizard.
OK, can I get back to like talking to the big floating green head?
Like, like, I do not care about that man.
Pull the curtain back.
And allow me to just continue talking to the head.
There was an episode of Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell where Satan takes over for Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, their insert, and at the end is revealed to be literal Satan on live TV and then goes off to do another interview and Gary, the main character, is like, they know you're literal Satan!
And he goes, yeah, they just don't care.
It's the whole setup for the whole joke is they don't care what these people are.
Yeah, and was what Alex Jones did Tucker didn't do this so much Tucker just quietly made his case before the law and then got away and then just like went back to doing his bullshit, but Alex will actually come out and say everything I said is About me being a performance artist was bullshit.
I just did that to work around the case.
I truly do believe all the shit I say.
I am insane.
I am totally gone and fighting the literal Christian devil and all that other good stuff.
So, uh, like this is his act is just His act is pro wrestling.
His act is kayfabe, where everything I say is real.
And when I have to go to court and say it's fake, I'm only doing that to protect myself so I can come back out here and tell you the cold, hard facts and the truth of the world.
So he's just completely full of shit at all times, which is why I really hope when the Sandy Hook lawsuits go through later this year, they destroy him and take every nickel of that man's money.
Oh man, I can't wait.
Us and the Knowledge Fight guys are just gonna have a party.
Not that we know them.
That'd be great.
Get in touch, Knowledge Fight.
Oh man.
Yeah, has Sidney Powell been on any... Has anyone interviewed her that isn't, like, Patriot Soapbox?
I'm sure she's done the rounds in those kinds of communities.
I haven't heard her on any Alex Jones-based networks.
But this thing that she's doing, it's so hilarious because QAnon has had to try to explain why she did this.
Tracy Beans came out of mothballs to say that this is a brilliant ledgy strategy.
That was the actual word, question mark, she used to describe this.
The Flynn family came out and said that Sidney Powell never called the people that believed her in her morons, and that it's fake news that she did this, even though, again, when you read her motion to dismiss, it is absolutely what she said.
So you have the grifter community rallying around one of their own and reassuring us that old Sydney didn't really mean it when she called everyone who was giving her money and thought the Kraken was really going to overturn the election, calling them all a bunch of fucking clowns.
And It's really, they're gluttons for punishment.
They don't care.
There's no amount of shame and humiliation you can inflict on these people that will make them give up on what they believe in.
It's part of the ritual is to be shamed, to be ostracized.
Honestly, I think what I've learned the most from Q and other conspiracy theory shit is just, and you know, just conservatives in general, is that man, is there anyone easier to trick in the world than the white man?
White people are just so easy to pull one over on.
It's just, it's like baked into our culture, you know what I mean?
Like the idea of like getting grifted, like, oh, somebody just taking you for a ride and all that shit.
It's just like, man, we're just so easy to trick.
God, what's wrong with us?
How did we get in charge of so much of the world?
With the exception of like the singer lady, there was...
Only white people, the, the black singer, there were only white people in the Q-pose.
Yeah.
It's a very white documentary.
And the black singer lady wasn't even a QAnon supporter.
She was just a Trump supporter.
She had the mag address and stuff like that.
And I mean, yeah, there are really no, uh, actual, uh, QAnon promoters I can think of that aren't bleach white.
I mean, it's, uh, incredibly, uh, Homogeneous genius mix of white people and more white people with a side order of white folk that are off conning people about this nonsense.
And it's really, I mean, it's just the whole Republican Party is just one giant grift.
Based off of white people being scared they're about they're losing their place in society.
And they know what it's like to be on top because they think they're on top right now.
And they're terrified of what it's like to not be on top because they know what they're doing to other people.
They're just like, Oh no, when whites aren't the majority anymore, the bad stuff's going to happen to us.
The cops are going to shoot us when we're unarmed and all this other stuff.
And it's like, calm down, white people.
White people are still going to have most of the money.
We're still going to have disproportionate representation.
Things are going to be good for Team White Folk, but that fear that you're not going to skate by on your lily white skin and your white dick, that isn't going to just entitle you to a better life forever.
It would be so much easier to just have a good laugh at all these dum-dums if it weren't for the abundant amount of guns and ammunition in the country.
I mean, my goodness.
quote-unquote in power as it were.
It would be so much easier to just have a good laugh at all these dum-dums if it weren't
for the abundant amount of guns and ammunition in the country.
I mean, my goodness.
And the capital storming, you know.
Yeah, there's the fact that there are violent people who obviously can be provoked to action
if it ever comes down to it.
This is a way to handle things they look at.
I mean, look at all the voter suppression we're seeing in all the Republican-controlled states right now.
They're making it clearer and clearer that as time goes on and as white vote share goes down in America and non-white vote share goes up, that the way to handle that is to make voting not matter anymore!
Jim Crow 2, Electric Boogaloo.
Yeah, we're not going to have a second civil war, we're just going to have a second failed reconstruction where we just try to make non-whites second class citizens again and see if they and their white allies will have enough gumption to break through and not allow that shit to fly.
Because in the end, they don't want the Second Civil War unless they can be assured they're going to win.
And the way they think they can win is by making sure the other side commits the first act of actual violence against the government so they can be seen as the bad, quote-unquote, bad guys.
So, yeah, in short, they're cowards.
But how could we have ever gotten to this point?
Remember the steady hand of the God Emperor on the wheel leading us into salvation?
Whatever happened on that?
That makes me laugh so much about this stuff.
I just see these people talking about how it had to be this way.
Some guy was whining about how, yeah, these libs thought that they were living under the last four years with a racist lying dirtbag that was putting kids in cages and doing all these terrible things.
And the world was laughing at us, but now that's really happening under Biden and
they're paying more for gasoline.
Waka waka.
And now that chess is more popular than it ever has been.
I have to imagine that there's just like a billion chess comparisons.
The Q community.
community. Just like, oh, sometimes you have to give up your queen in order to win the
game or whatever. You just don't bullshit. Like here's my hot take. He's still a genius.
He's playing like crazy chess with people's lives, man.
Yeah, I mean, that's what they do. They have this total cognitive dissonance where on the
one hand, Biden is actually our president and he's fucking everything up royally. And
his horrifying incompetence will usher in a golden age of Trumpian Republican rule in
the very near future.
But at the same time, Biden isn't actually the president and doesn't have any actual power, and he's being controlled by nebulous forces for good?
Mike, this is right where you need to tell me that Biden's not our president because he's a computer hologram.
Oh, that is true that our alleged president, Joe Biden, is in fact a hologram that has been created by the Deep State or the Patriots.
They haven't explained exactly who is running the hologram.
But what we can for sure know is that Joe Biden is not a real human being.
CGI Joe, American president.
CGI Joe is there.
So yes, Joe Biden, not a real human being, not an actual president.
Could you imagine for, like, even a second if that was, like, actually true and, like, possible?
Dude, everything we knew would be a fucking lie, man!
It would be completely, like, all of a sudden it would just be like, oh, I thought I was living in a normal world.
No, I'm living in cyberpunk.
Shit is bananas.
Technology is magic.
Everything means nothing and nothing means everything.
What is happening?
And then the fury that you don't have access to a sex robot at home.
I mean, could you imagine?
You know, we've already got, like, Walking and Talking, like, full, perfectly scalable holograms, and it's just like, really?
I don't have a sex robot yet?
Ugh.
Imagine all the problems it would solve.
Imagine how many incels would not blow up, like, malls and shit, if they just had a sex robot at home.
Do you think having a robot maid would be awkward?
I was thinking about that the other day, like a Rosie the Robot.
Like, I already apologized to the robot vacuum at my partner's house when I bump into it.
Depends, does it have a big dumper like Rosie the Robot did?
Because if so, it's gonna get real awkward.
I mean, the sex robot has to be the sex maid as well.
That's what I wanted to say.
Robot maid, right?
It's not just one.
It's kind of a Swiss Army Knife robot.
I don't want to let my urges get in the way of its maid duties.
The house needs to get clean.
It cleans while you're at work, like the vacuum robots do.
I mean, I guess, but how much of a charge does it have?
It's already hard enough to remember to put the Roomba on the thing.
Like, I don't know.
It sounds like we're giving this one workout.
Roomba puts itself on the thing.
I mean, who's charging?
Can you imagine you coming home and some bombed out fucking sex robot crawling back to its charger place?
Yo, there's no way that you could survive that, like, internally.
That would destroy your soul.
You would walk into that and all of a sudden, like, the crushing reality of your existence would, like, crash upon you.
You know the text you get because the sex robot maid is caught on a chair or something and couldn't get back to the charger?
Cause it sends you text- Roombas send you text if they get stuck.
They're like, I'm stuck, come free me.
This conversation took a dark turn.
I mean, our president is a robot or is made by Pixar.
I'm still very vague on this.
So the actual story that led down the road of sex robots, which was beautiful, and I approve of all of this, was that Joe Biden did one of President Trump's favorite things, which is to hold court with the press before getting on Marine One to fly off to wherever it is he was going.
Right, right, right.
And the press have their boom mics from COVID, they stick out in the general direction of ye old president.
And as they were holding out the boom mics, Biden's hand like knifed around some of these mics.
And to the eyes of the paranoid conspiracy theorists of QAnon, This looked like his hand, like, clipped and went, like, wrong over the mics.
Like, he was on the wrong layer, and it didn't match.
He moves like they do.
Yeah, basically.
He was an agent.
And so this led to all kinds of people freaking out about like Biden being obviously like fake CGI or this was a green screen.
Our beloved Torba of Gab even hopped on the Biden is a CGI creation bullshit.
This was a thing that had scuzzy, non-QAnon grifters even getting in on it.
I had some random follower of mine on Twitter say, Hey, I ain't QAnon, but this shit is real.
And it was like, no, no, it's not.
And I'm like, no, no, it's not.
You're fucking wrong.
Then the people who were actually holding the boom mics came out and said, no, Biden was in front of us.
Here's where my mic was.
This is the optical illusion you people are seeing, you dumb cretins, and all of this stuff.
And they actually explained what really happened.
You suppose all these Q folks think that street magic is real magic?
Like actual sorcery?
Dude, do you feel like if you could just, like, sleight of hand a card into your fuckin', like, palm or whatever that you're gonna cause someone's head to explode?
I mean, QAnon will believe anything that is put out on the internet.
Like, I occasionally take a trip over to the Conspiracy Board, which are all just, it's all basically QAnon followers that don't say anything about Q, and they, they will just believe anything.
Anything you put on the internet.
And that's an important part of QAnon is that it is a grand unifying conspiracy theory.
So anything you give them, they will grab it and take it back to the hive to further grow the mythos of QAnon.
It's like the Borg, where they just keep, if you have a conspiracy theory, we'll take it, we'll use it.
I mean, we went over those first 50 odd drops.
Q never said a goddamn thing about vaccines.
What's the most important thing about QAnon right now?
Not getting your COVID vaccine because it's a Bill Gates microchip.
So they just grow the mythos as time goes on and they have to react to current events.
Which is crazy because the man himself is gone.
He's fucking in the breeze.
You're never going to track that guy down unless you know who he is.
How could anyone possibly know?
That's why we need 12 documentaries about it.
Oh, yeah.
Thank God for that.
It's so ridiculous.
The thing that's so funny is that their two leaders are Q and Trump, and Q is gone, and Trump's just golfing and making vague noises about starting a social media network with Brad Parscale, which will be an absolute shitshow, dumpster fire.
No, no, I'm like, all that time he's spending in Mar-a-Lago, that's just castling.
You just don't understand chess.
You need to get with it.
Oh, right.
Yes, that is a perfect chess analogy.
You just sit there and have dust coat your pawns and your rook and your king.
He's playing 4D Chess.
Because eventually the other guy just like falls down because he's so tired punching on your castle and it doesn't
work He just collapses like super castle
You just like take your your king off the board like put it in your pocket and like go into other stuff
He's playing for DHS you don't know you don't even know Yeah, it's so great
We have the MyPillow guy is allegedly starting a free speech platform called Frank.
How's it spelled?
It's spelled the actual word Frank, which apparently there's a magazine in Canada called Frank and they can just sue him and stop him from doing this if they so desire.
But he's already said that he's pretty much just gonna pay people that use his service.
So if you're a right-wing grifter, you better hold out for five figures at least, if not six.
Yeah, how much is he paying out?
Because as we've discussed, no amount of evidence about us being Filthy lefties would, like, convince these Q people that we weren't on the up-and-up if we decided to do the pivot.
We were just like, oh, all the stuff we were doing before, that was just all, like, next level.
Like, we had to entrench ourself, you know what I mean?
You have to know your enemy.
But we're really on your side, we promise.
Now please, buy our special water, or whatever.
You gotta do your own research.
That way, when you find some dumb thing and they say you're right, you feel invested.
Exactly.
We're gonna need a lot of startup capital because, boy, we have a new idea for a robotic house cleaner that'll blow your mind.
It's really something.
Is there a pun for Rosie?
I feel like that's the joke in itself.
I mean, you're not supposed to talk about your workshopping process live on the air, sir.
I mean, that is my joke.
Because I'll think of it two days from now in our group chat and just be like, Fuck!
So you're saying that we need to have pun workshop sessions like a day before the podcast to try to crank out exactly how we're gonna make Rosie the sex maid pop even more than she already did?
Once you pop, the fun don't stop.
No.
Is that taken?
Maybe.
Perhaps.
Gross.
In the context of what we're talking about, that is a very disgusting catchphrase.
I'm not a fan of that.
Pringles could keep that one.
That's what it's always been, in which case that mustache makes a lot more sense.
Or a lot more sense, depending on how you look at it.
Anyway, this conversation is also about to take a dark turn.
I regret nothing.
Mike, tell me about the boat in the Suez Canal.
The boat in the Suez Canal is a story that should have nothing to do with QAnon, but these people live only to wedge themselves into any current event, because What has more to do with that whole thing than a boat?
I mean, they love nautical everything.
All nautical everything.
We've gone over this.
This is true.
Storm, wave, kraken, boat, canal.
Think about it.
Come on.
There's a lot to it.
There's layers upon layers of like an onion about this thing.
So, um...
The boat that got stuck in the Suez Canal, as you can see in all the pictures of the boat, on the side of the boat, in big, bold letters, it said, Evergreen.
And guess what Hillary Clinton's Secret Service call sign while she was First Lady was?
It was Evergreen.
Holy shit!
Bug!
My god.
Slams Corseporn.
Slate's hand on corkboard covered in yarn.
It's all coming together.
Yeah, so in 1992, Hillary Clinton was given a call sign, which now, like, basically like 40 years later or whatever, 30 years later, is somehow relevant.
And it's a term that is like, I don't know, used for fucking everything.
Evergreen is... Yeah, you might even call the term itself evergreen.
Boom.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah, evergreen is an evergreen term.
And it's so it's just so out there.
It's everywhere.
But these people need confirmation bias, they need to see the signs of their mythos in the real world.
So they see Evergreen, they think Hillary, and now they're just trying to piece together, what is the deep state doing?
What's their plan, man?
And they're trying to figure out if the cabal is trying to cause some sort of shortage.
by blocking trade for a week or two.
Although.
And also advertising it for all the real smarties out there, for all the all the smart, super wrinkled brain people.
Hey, like a little wink and a nod because they're playing like
super villains and superheroes or whatever in the background.
Yeah, that's one of the things that's like so ridiculous about all of this stuff, that the reason why these things
happen is the whole trope of the vampire has to be granted
permission to enter your house.
That the deep state has to, on some level, let you know what they're doing so they can obtain your unconscious consent for the crimes they're committing.
If they didn't get you to agree to be oppressed, you couldn't be oppressed.
Oh man, so I'm gonna go a little off topic here.
You know, it's out of character for me, but I'm giving you a warning.
One of the anime that I've been watching recently is Jujutsu Kaisen, and it's a shounen anime, which, like Dragon Ball, just means it's about people fighting each other and leveling up.
But as like a core conceit of the way that powers work in their world, If you reveal during combat how your special ability works, it makes your special ability stronger.
I thought that was such a neat thing for a show like that to do, because that's how they all work anyway.
But in this one, it's like explicitly part of the rules.
Like, if I tell you how my power works, it will be stronger, but you will then be able to formulate a way around it.
And that is just the law of the land.
We were way ahead of it with calling him Riddler Q. They all just think that it's all Riddler rules.
It's all Jujutsu Kaisen Riddler rules.
The clues are out there.
Yeah, you just have to see the pattern.
You just have to know what's going on.
And every person on all sides of this fight between good and evil, they are all bound to these inexorable laws of the universe that require them to give away the game at some point.
And this was, this is one of the things that happened with the Illuminati stuff back in the day, back before Q was even a gleam in somebody's eye.
Was that originally when you would watch a Britney Spears or a Kesha music video, and it was all crackling with satanic imagery.
They would say that this was their high sign to their overlords in the bad guy world, that they're on the team, that they support them, that they support the Dark Lord Lucifer, and it's all good in the hood.
And then, as time went on, it became cabal brainwashing of us, the filthy proles, that we were the ones being hit with this indoctrination through the media, and that we were the ones that were being taken over by seeing these images.
And it became a very silly rewrite of the original reason for why all these images are in all these videos.
The thing was is that we decoded it, we figured out what they were doing, and yet they never stop, which is odd, because if you told somebody, hey, sir, I've cracked the code for your secret messages, I know exactly what you're saying, that person would be like, oh, oh no, my code's known, and they would change the code.
But the Illuminati can't do it.
The Illuminati has to keep Posting upside down crosses and triangles and covering one eye with a hand or some hair or whatever.
They're stuck with the same playbook for the last like 10,000 years apparently.
They can never update it.
So they always give themselves up to anyone who's even paying the slightest bit of attention about what's going on.
Illuminati is my super secret sexy spy robot maid.
Gross.
Yeah.
Sarge really loves the idea of the sex maid.
You brought up sex robots first.
I know I did, but I wanted to explore the concept.
I'm sort of like a sprite.
I just sort of dance in the breeze.
I visit a concept and I wander off of it.
This time I was trying to dance on the breeze and I happened to step on sex robot and then there was like this horrible quagmire of muck named Sarge that was like, yes, let us explore the sex robot mate.
And I'm like, Artax, no matter how hard I try to get away, I'm just going to get sucked into this poisonous swamp.
I dare you bring up Artax.
I dare you.
Too soon.
I was going to try to pull us out of this as best I can by referencing another clue that QAnon found about our world and the fact that Biden, who was busy following down flights of stairs on Air Force One, Can a hologram trip and fall?
Pick a fucking lane.
Is he a hologram or is he a clumsy old man?
Which one is it?
Holograms can't have dementia.
It can't be both.
He was clipping through the world.
Yeah, he was wall clipping.
I mean, man, if there was some evidence of that, that would be something.
That would be like, okay, maybe they're onto something here.
The whole world is a simulation.
Yeah, that'd be the real red pill.
That's when you wake up in the pod and then... What's this great evidence?
The great evidence that they found.
So after Biden was busy falling downstairs and all that kind of stuff, QAnon then found photos Of alleged President Biden and alleged Vice President Harris walking off of Air Force One together.
And this created a firestorm of controversy because obviously you can't have the president and vice president flying on the same plane because if that plane went down, that's like two people in the line of succession getting dropped and now we have President Pelosi.
So QAnon's logic for all of this is that obviously Biden and Harris aren't really president and vice president, that Trump is obviously still the president and all this other good stuff.
Why wouldn't their logic just be, obviously, he doesn't have to worry about dying because he's a hologram?
Because that wouldn't make them happy, and the whole point of QAnon is to feel happy.
Shut up.
Exactly.
Your logic is brilliant there, L. Shut up.
Don't yuck my yum, bro.
I mean, that's all they want.
You're not allowed to be grossed out about anything on this episode, Sarge.
No, no you're not.
No, no.
Sarge is officially the sickest and most evil of all of us and has to wallow in his horrifying sex robot fetish for the remainder of this pod.
But the thing that happened was people who are not the world's greatest researchers, the way QAnon are, started looking around on the internet.
And lo and behold, they started finding photos of Pence and Trump walking off of Air Force One together.
And they also found some photos of Bill Clinton and Al Gore walking off of Air Force One together.
And invariably, what these events would turn out to be is the president and the vice president
would be visiting some city in America, as it were, and Air Force One and Air Force Two
would land at that airport.
And then the vice president would leave Air Force Two, go to Air Force One, and have a
meeting or a briefing on Air Force One.
And then when that was over, they and the President would get off the plane together.
So they're never flying in the same plane.
They just happen to get on the plane at the same time, because Air Force One is this giant luxury fortress.
And the Secret Service already have the airport, like, locked off, so there's no need to have the President and Vice President motorcade somewhere and hold a meeting in some other building when they can just have the meeting on the President's plane!
So...
That is what happened with Biden and Harris was they both landed at the same airport and then Harris went on Air Force One for a briefing and then they departed Air Force One together after the briefing was given.
Nah, shut up.
No, yeah, it couldn't possibly be that.
I'm just full of shit.
But that was, so that was their rock solid evidence that Biden and Harris aren't really the executive branch of our government.
And it took the people that don't follow this bullshit roughly like two hours to totally debunk it because that's that's how just rock solid all of the Q-proofs really are.
Speaking of Q-Proofs, let's talk about this amazing documentary that is now on HBO Max.
Oh, is it Calm Before the Storm?
Q, Calm Before the Storm?
It's Q, Into the Storm.
Into the Storm.
Yeah, Q, Into the Storm is the name of it.
I watched the first two episodes.
It's very odd in a way because episode two feels almost like it's building towards episode one.
But Episode 2 also feels like it's building towards payoffs down the line, so... Like, my final judgment on the series can't be known for two more weeks, because we're getting two more episodes this weekend, then the final two episodes the next weekend, yadda yadda yadda.
But, Episode 2... Fuckin' six parts to this thing, huh?
Wow.
And there were definitely parts of episode two that felt like it was episode two, padding the runtime.
Like they had this just weird and I get that they were like trying to lay some groundwork and they were trying to explain like some of like where 8chan came from and who Frederick Brennan was and who the Watkins boys were and all that kind of stuff.
But they had this like offshoot divergent moment where they got into Gamergate kind of hard.
And they had someone unironically use the term ethics in video game journalism.
And, and I'm just sitting there and I'm just like, what does this have to do with QAnon?
And the point of it all was that at this point in the documentary, the guy making the documentary
thought he was making a documentary about free speech.
He thought he was making a documentary about, are some ideas too toxic for the internet to handle?
Is it a good thing that we're censoring all these people?
And he kind of latched on the QAnon because they were like the crazy free thinkers who will say anything.
8chan is a free speech zone where anything goes and you can say whatever you want.
So you can kind of feel that this early part of the documentary, he's still making that free speech documentary.
He hasn't pivoted to see that like, oh, this QAnon stuff needs to be the main focus of what I'm talking about here.
I need to pivot away from my, is free speech absolutionism a good idea or not?
And The second episode kind of ends with some hints about how Jim Watkins loves pens, and one of the ways Q identifies himself is through expensive pens.
So they're kind of giving you some foreshadowing.
Maybe Jim is going to give up the game in a later episode.
Reveal he's Q!
And there's some other stuff like that.
And Frederick himself has come out and said that these early interviews were back when he didn't want Jim to get mad at him.
There are going to be later episodes where he doesn't give a fuck about Jim anymore, and he's way less guarded, and he's just giving the interviewer just all the weapons-grade ammo he can.
Because in the first episode, when he's talking to Frederick Brennan, he's still in Manila, and now he lives in California because he had to flee Manila because of the Watkins.
I know that.
And listening to Ron Watkins talk, He is the most insufferable piece of shit in the world.
Oh, he's terrible.
He definitely thinks he's the smartest man in the room at any given time, and he has this false modesty that is just so galling.
I feel like most places that host FNM has one of those guys.
They just don't happen to also be Q.
No, sorry.
I think Frederick's also in New Jersey now.
I think he had to move from California to New Jersey.
He's been just dealing with all kinds of, like, just awful shit.
But, uh, the main point is, is that he has, like, that is going to be a part of the show is, uh, Fred's flight, him escaping the law in the Philippines because the Watkins boys are trying to have him jailed, which would, which as he has said many times would probably have killed him due to his, due to his condition.
So, um, Fred's flight, uh, escaping, uh, the Filipino legal system, uh, that, and then later on him now just like being like, well, now I'm just going to go squirt shots on the Watkins boys.
That's coming down the pike.
So episode two, except for like the whole weird divergence in the Gamergate and talking to like those people and having to see Anita Sarkeesian on my screen again.
And Zoe Quinn and all the other people that were victims of that bullshit.
It was just odd.
It was just such a pivot away from where this kind of thing was supposed to end up.
It was really strange.
They're obviously connected because they're populated by a lot of the same people.
Just white incels, but I mean like, you know.
Yeah, but I mean, it seems like if you need to, like, if you need to fucking pad out some runtime, then, like, just sort of having a, like, a 10-minute tangent into the ins and outs of Gamergate, it's just, like, I don't know, stick to the subject at hand.
Like, there's plenty of nonsense around Q to talk about.
We do it for, like, an hour every week.
Yeah.
Well, it's because when Gamergate got kicked off of 4chan, 8chan was exactly nothing.
And the only place on the internet that would have Gamergate after they got kicked off of 4chan was 8chan.
And they made it Sure, but when you're talking about Q, I don't think it's necessarily important to know the origins of 8chan slash 8kun or whatever, you know what I mean?
You could just be like, Q was born on this message board that is a place for pieces of shit to congregate and share child pornography.
Yeah, and yeah, so they're going deep on this stuff.
And I do hope that this like world building foundational setup with the Watkins boys and Frederick is going to lead to payoffs.
That's basically my kind of hope.
And the second episode, Was not as offensive to me as the first episode.
The first episode made me incredibly mad because it just gave the floor to all these shitheads for so long.
They dominated the conversation and They got to say all of the things they wanted to say.
Jack Posabeck, I mean, I know that they kind of made it look they were like, yeah, Posabeck's a lying piece of shit.
but they still gave post effect runtime on the show to like, act like he wasn't a pizza gate promoter.
They had the Jordan Sather interview things.
They have a long conversation with Paul Ferber and they, and that goes on into the second episode. Also Dustin Nemos
gets like airtime.
And you just have all these people who are talking about, um,
On any, my big thing, I'm gonna, sorry, I'm gonna jump in a little.
He never explicitly states, and this is untrue.
He's like, it's important that these people be allowed to say what they want to say.
And I'm like, well, what they're wanting to say is defamatory, dangerous, Racist, and you don't they you don't need to actually give them all this time.
But until they get to the Q Anonymous boys, it is just 100% grifters and racists.
And they just get to say whatever they want.
And yeah, it was it made me so mad.
Like he And the thing was, they had this series of things where they were doing the tippy-top Q-proof, and they're beating us over the head with it, and then they do a quick little dip-in with Travis View, the host of QAnon Anonymous,
And Travis just kind of says, well, this is like, this is the kind of bullshit these people do.
But the section with Travis is kind of this like overview of QAnon in general, and just kind of how they operate.
And it's not attacking this one specific thing that these people are talking about.
And I just think that this is such a shitty Q-proof to put out there without debunking it, because- Because it happened a month later, right?
It happened months later.
But the way this gets presented on TV, and this happened both on 60 Minutes and on this HBO documentary, is QAnon follower asks Q to stick something in a speech by Trump.
Trump says those words, then Q goes to that person and says, hey, did you hear?
I got Trump to do the thing you asked me to do, because that's what kind of pull I have.
Because me and Trump are just, we're like thick as thieves.
We're two peas in a pod, little buddy.
And I got him to do what you wanted.
And it makes Q look like he's an insider.
It makes him look like he's got pull that he can affect the speeches of Trump.
When you actually look at what the guy asked for, the guy asked for Trump to say it at the State of the Union, and he doesn't.
And then months and months later he says it at an Easter celebration.
And you could...
Crush that Q-Proof so easily and I get it.
Maybe you didn't have a debunk of that Q-Proof in the can or whatever, but you know what this documentary is now.
You know what you're putting on HBO now.
And also they've been working on it since like what 2018?
I mean they have plenty of time to put something like that into it.
Like they've been working on this show for a hot minute.
Right, exactly.
Call Travis back up and tell him, hey, can you debunk this Q-proof?
Can you show why this is bullshit?
And if Travis won't answer your phone, Will Sommer, who you also had on the show as an anti-QAnon guy, is there.
Ben Collins has a blue checkmark.
You could grab so many people.
Mike Rains, who doesn't have a checkmark, but whatever.
I was about to say... Debunking community.
I was about to say, I'm like number 15 on that list.
If the first 14 won't fucking return your call, I'm here for you, buddy.
I'd be glad to do it.
And it's just so ridiculous that you don't just debunk this shit.
They even brought up the stupid thing where Trump was holding up the jerseys with the number 17 on them.
And that is such a debunked Q-proof that QAnon themselves will even tell people, hey, when you're trying to get people to believe in our internet death cult and hit them with the bullshit, don't use this one because it isn't good.
It doesn't work.
It's easily disproven.
I love that they have like a Bible, but not like a holy Bible, like a draft Bible for the narrative, and they're just like, alright, here are the do's and here are the don'ts.
Do believe in the Kraken.
Yeah, we know what Cindy Powell said, but still believe in that Kraken.
Do not try to hit him with this nonsense, because it's not going to work.
Oh yeah, they have, from the chans, they have redpilling guides.
They have actual ways to brainwash people to suck them into the cult.
It's so terrible to know that they're like, here's how to lie to people effectively to get them to believe our bullshit.
People like this are why the Super Seducer series of video games exist.
Yep, absolutely.
Absolutely.
It's just like, you know, people that really believe in neurolinguistic programming.
They're just like big into NLP.
And they're just like, it's a real thing, man.
I've got the world at my fingertips.
Like, sure you do, bud.
You're a social manager at a Kmart or whatever.
You need to slowly instill your role.
The whole first episode is upsetting because they, it mainly, It doesn't do enough to protect itself slash debunk QAnon.
They, they just let those two Southies who live now, who live down in Florida, just ramble on.
And, oh God, is there a dumber sounding accent in the world?
Take that.
And it's just, it's just really frustrating that you make these people like kind of salt to the earth.
We're just asking questions.
We're just looking for the truth.
And.
I say this not because, I mean, I was offended, but what really got my ire up is that I have a group of people that DM me every so often and they are like troubled by QAnon is basically the way I would describe it.
Like they'll message me and they'll say, Hey, I saw this thing from the QAnon promoters.
Is it real?
And I'll tell them it's not, and they'll be like, oh, OK, good, good, good.
And they're kind of on the fence if they want to believe in QAnon or not.
And I hate thinking that there are people that exist in that headspace.
But my DMs kind of proved that this is a thing that happened.
And I hadn't heard from any of these people for a long time.
And then one of them just came out of the woodwork and started messaging me about the documentary.
And they were just like, this is terrible.
These people are making good points and they sound credible and they look nice.
And he's like, I'm not going to believe in QAnon, but I can see how it could do that to somebody.
And his quote was, this is dangerous.
This documentary shouldn't have been made.
And it was just kind of like, oh man, like, I really, I just felt so bad for the guy when he was saying this.
And then when I actually watched it, the first thing that really kind of upset me was how peppy and like jovial the intro was.
Like they had made a bunch of gifs for the QAnon idiots.
Like that whole intro is amazing looking and all it's going to do is give them awesome visuals to use on their dumb videos.
The rabbit bank having the red pill fall in the slot, all of their little dumb comments.
I was watching it, finding the Easter eggs and chuckling at it, but I'm like, you know who's also doing this?
Is QAnon.
My main thing about any documentary or any show like this If it airs, and while it's airing and after it airs, you can go on Telegram, because Telegram is basically a chat room.
If you can go on Telegram and you find QAnon supporters who are happy about what's happening, you've made mistakes.
That was actually going to be my next question.
If you're saying that it's got all this sweet, incidentally pro-Q stuff in there, how does that community feel about it?
Are they like pumped over it?
Are they just like, oh, dumb idiots are letting themselves get like, you know, they don't know that they're getting pilled real bad, accidentally style, like subterfuge, castling, chess reference.
Yeah, they were very happy that the tip-top Q-Proof got hyped up again.
They were very happy about all of the things that the promoters were able to say, unchallenged and all that kind of stuff.
There was, uh, there was a lot of takeaways from the first episode where they're like, we know this is dirtbag fake mainstream media, but you know, they're not giving us that bad of a shake here, guys.
I mean, this isn't, this isn't a total loss for us.
And.
That, to me, Jordan Sather, because he got on the air a bit, and that he was just like, oh, my star turned purple, Will Sommer, you piece of shit, and just doing the Jordan Sather brand, as it were.
But I just know how these people are reacting to it, and they just see things that make them feel good about themselves.
And I just really feel like you have to crush them.
You have to give them nothing.
And after the show is over, you want them bitching about the fake news and how that's not what we are at all.
They took everything out of context.
This is a bunch of crap.
Oh, they debunked that Q-proof.
Why didn't they debunk the stronger Q-proofs?
Like, you want to upset them.
And the other thing is, is that When you put out the debunks, like right away in the documentary, they're watching it too.
And if like 2 million QAnon people are watching this stuff and you just hit all these debunks, maybe a couple thousand just go, wow, this is all bullshit.
I mean, it's not likely that you're going to sway a lot of them, but you might shake a couple of people free.
You might get a couple of people out of it.
And instead, It felt like they were more interested in telling the story of what was going on than they were in actually confronting and dealing with the problem that is QAnon.
And again, I think that's where the documentary was at that time.
And I also kind of don't trust the producers of HBO for this, because this one guy, McKay, who's the producer for the series, he was on MSNBC, and oh my god, was this guy taking his square peg and driving it into the round holes that he could find.
He actually at one point while talking to Rachel Maddow made the statement that you could basically see Obama not jailing the bankers after Wall Street was like a direct line to people embracing QAnon.
And I was like, yeah, that that sounds right.
Occupy Wall Street.
The Occupy Wall Street QAnon overlap.
If that's a Venn diagram, it's basically a circle.
I mean, they're just they're just two peas in a pod, those two groups.
And you could just kind of tell that this guy had his own axe to grind about the system and what was going on in our world.
And he really didn't care what QAnon had to say.
He was just going to make them fit whatever it was he wanted them to fit into to make his narrative work.
To be fair, you can't say Occupy Wall Street without saying Q. I mean, think about it.
It's right there in the name.
You have more than you know.
So, how girthy is our mailbag?
Our mailbag is sufficiently girthy, I believe.
I don't know how prodigious our actual answers are going to be, but we will definitely... Well, before we tarry off of it, for people who are listening at home, Would you suggest watching this HBO documentary?
The two parts that are out now, because HBO is choosing to release it in this format, so this is how we're going to judge it, at least up front.
Would you recommend anybody watch this for any reason?
I think the second episode is, the second episode is much better than the first, because again, the world building is very interesting.
And I want to see where the second episode leads to, because I don't feel like you really need the first episode to get a handle on the Watkins boys and Frederick Brennan, who are the main characters of this thing.
And also the second episode has this hilarious moment in it where a bunch of QAnon promoting dirt bags Go to a convention to speak to conservatives and Republicans, and at the last minute, it gets out what they are and what they support, and the convention basically disinvites them, even though they're in the hotel already and are working on their speeches.
They just basically get kicked out at the last minute.
And Tracy Beans ends up getting shunted off into some basically empty room where five people attend her speech, which is about not directly QAnon stuff.
They let her speak because her speech was about censorship in the media and blah, blah, blah.
But they made sure that she was in front of no audience.
But everybody else was actually going to talk about QAnon directly.
So all those guys just had their Hotel keys to magnetize and we're just told to get out just go away so like seeing those clowns get crushed was like kind of entertaining and again if the whole it just like it felt like this if this is an actual documentary that has like a payoff
Episode two felt very foreshadowing.
It felt like they were setting things up, and it felt like they got stuff in the can that might lead to good things.
Episode one was just really kind of slapdash, like, here's QAnon!
Here's all this crazy shit!
Q approves!
Trump!
What What the fuck is going on?
And it was, I mean, it just like kind of felt like they didn't know how they were going to start this story.
So they just like hit, bamboozled you with bullshit.
It was, it was this monstrous gish gallop of all these QAnon promoters just spouting whatever crap came out of their mouth at any given time.
And I really didn't appreciate that because a Gish Gallop is such a dishonest way to engage on issues, and letting someone do that shows that you are a very poor moderator of a debate, which is what any documentary about QAnon is when you have lots of QAnon promoters on that documentary.
You're basically Doing QAnon, pro and con!
And if you're not coming down really hard on con, you're fucking up.
I mean, like, behind the curve, they let the flat earthers say their piece just so they would get crushed down the line.
Yeah, they give those guys a lot of rope to hang themselves with.
It's fucking amazing.
It's very good.
When they're like, oh, it doesn't work.
Or would they catch that?
Would one guy just be like, oh man, when people find out that this experiment didn't work, it's going to make us look real bad?
Like, yeah, buddy, it sure is.
Right, exactly.
That's the thing.
I just don't have this overwhelming amount of faith that we're going to get that hammer coming down in the later episodes.
If we do, then this series is incredible.
Until I see the hammer.
For the moment, this series seems way too sympathetic to the QAnon promoters.
Because again, I think it was.
I think this originally started off with this guy being like, I'm going to hunt down free speech and what it means and find the free thinking people that will say the shocking shit that is getting censored by our uptight media networks.
Okay, so so overall, so overall, you know, like a like a soft no, but mostly reserving judgment to see to see if there's a prestige.
Yes.
Rock on.
I guess it's time for us to get to our fucking bulging mail sack.
Our listeners got questions.
We got answers.
It's time for Q&A.
So SubZeroShirtArt asks, going through the backlog of pod episodes, I found an interesting idea you had expressed that you can only make it as a big queue influencer if you find a niche in which to specialize.
Medic and dumbing it down for boomers.
Ron is a network expert.
Can I revisit where things stand now for that kind of stuff?
Right now, I mean, Lin Wood is the legal expert genius along with Sidney Powell.
They're the lawyers who are going to get stuff done and overturn these fraudulent elections with their legal know-how and jiu-jitsu and Sidney Powell only calls... So far they've done that a bunch, right?
Yeah, so they've been crushing it.
So far they've achieved nothing but victory after victory?
Oh, oh, just piling up the W's.
All I do is win!
That's them.
They just crushed.
They're just so good.
And please give them more money so they can continue to keep crushing, as it were.
So, yeah, you have the legal experts.
For the people on the Internet, as it were, you now have Ghost Ezra, who is the biggest guy in the game.
That's a fake person on the Internet, as it were.
And he's just playing up that The seer of seers, the person who understands what the bad guys are doing and has the inside dope when I would beat him.
And today he was doing a big thing about how you can see the folds on Kamala Harris's neck are obviously those of a prosthetic mask.
And she's not an actual, she's not who she is.
She's being played by an He actually did a video from the Comic-Con where Bryan Cranston was wearing the Walter White mask, and then took off the Walter White mask to show that he was Bryan Cranston.
And he thought that was some sort of egregious own, and it was obvious he didn't get the joke of why that was a funny thing that they did.
Because he's the character, and he's really him!
Waka waka!
And today, on top of the whole prosthetic mask thing, he was doing some more George Floyd funeral truthering, which, if you had any faith in humanity, allow me to take it away from you.
Allow me to crush what little faith you have left in humanity.
There are people who are like, hey, George Floyd was like 6'6".
He was a big dude.
That coffin was way too small.
His body wasn't in it because he's not really dead.
And this is a thing that people really believe and we're like totally into.
Even though that back when George Floyd had died, the He had a wake and admittedly the live stream of his wake did not allow you to see his body, but there was like a three hour long viewing ceremony where streams of people walked into this church to view his body for three hours and the line never dissipated.
It never stopped.
And not one person was like, Hey, there's no body in there.
Hey, that don't look like him.
Hey, this is bullshit.
If any QAnon people wanted to find out that and they lived in the area, they could have driven down.
Because again, it went all in.
Oh yeah, oh right.
Fuck, I mean that's... It's even more impressive.
It's a hard light hologram, so it feels just like the real thing.
Now there's a tagline for your robot sex maid.
Hard light hologram?
No, it feels like the real thing.
Sarge, totally not on the page today.
Yeah, wow.
Don't worry, no, that's just part of Sarge's recurring bit where I lob him a softball and he fuckin' just whiffs it.
He's looking at me for juicy fruit.
Or for low-hanging fruit.
He never goes after that juicy low-hanging fruit.
So, like, when I throw him, like, medium to low-hanging fruit, he just ignores it or just lets it fall to the ground.
False flag.
The fruitful false flag, as it were, on our podcast.
Did we answer that question?
If so, thanks for the question.
Well, what I was going to say to kind of finish up on it is that people still have their defined role.
The thing that's really funny about these defined roles is that Jordan Sather is so determined to be the keeper of the sacred truths of QAnon.
He won't let any of this poppycock get into the honest beliefs of QAnon when He's believes in any bullshit you you could possibly pitch him.
I mean, he's just he's just such a clown.
And then you'll have like the religious people like CJ Truth is all about posting Jesus stuff and all that kind of stuff and I think my favorite niche market in QAnon right now is PepeLivesMatter being the just cheerful guy who's just like, cheer up Buttercup!
We're still gonna win!
He literally posts on his Telegram daily morale-boosting threads to buck people in QAnon up.
It's the hang-in-there cat poster.
Yeah, it's the hang-in-there kitten.
It's that.
They love talking about how they're the digital soldiers who can understand the horrifying truth of our world and the incredible burden they have to bear, but they still need little Pepe there letting them know that we still got this, bros!
Don't give up the fight!
You got it!
And it's adorable.
It's absolutely, I mean...
I've never seen an anti-QAnon person being like, keep it up, guys!
We're doing great!
Maybe that should be Sarge's gimmick on Twitter, like every day, Sarge's morale boost.
Yeah!
Telling anti-QAnon people to keep fighting that bullshit, guys!
We're doing great!
I mean, honestly, I think the anti-QAnon community could probably use a little more levity in it.
A lot of the Twitter I see is, man, that's some serious business.
Oh yeah, it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong, because it's just like, yeah, I'm sort of in this game, but I would be like number, like, you know, 1200 or whatever on that list, and most days I spend my time talking about cartoons from the 80s, so... I've been reposting a lot of old Power Ranger gifs.
I just try to find relevant gifs that I know about because of my pop culture acumen, and then I will throw them in where appropriate.
And sometimes something will get my blood boiling and I will go on there and I will tweet angrily about people on the right wing.
Much like you, I forgot the question.
I think it's answered now.
It's answered now.
I took care of it.
I, much like Atlas, put that question on my shoulders and handled it.
I don't know any of the people you talked about, so that was always going to be all you.
Yeah.
So thank you for the question, SubZeroShirtArt.
And up next is AceOAces, who asks, Do you feel like the HBOQ documentary has spent too much time on the internal politics of 8chan and not enough on how belief in the conspiracy spread and affected U.S.
politics?
Yes.
Yeah, we definitely already covered this, so we don't have to look at this question.
Long answer, yes.
Yeah, one million percent.
Again, I really do hope that by episode four, this thing does a pivot, because as someone brought it up, documentaries oftentimes are calamitous accidents.
Have either of you guys seen or heard of Capturing the Freedmen's?
No.
No, not ringing a bell.
Oh, it's the darkest documentary you'll, like, ever fucking see.
And it started off with a guy just, like, trying to get into, like, birthday clowns in New York.
And he just started, like, finding, like, all these people, like, talking about their lives and what it's like to go out and do this entertainment.
And then he runs into the Freedmen's, and the father gets arrested and convicted for being a pedophile.
And then one of the sons gets aggressively railroaded with the same charges.
And like, literally his lawyers are like, dude, you have to plead guilty to something.
Just take it. Whatever deal they take, whatever deal they offer you, just take it.
Because if like you don't, you're like, you're fucked.
There's not a jury on earth that's going to believe like what you're saying.
You're done.
So this kid ends up like doing at least like 10 years in prison over just like
horrifying bullshit.
Because this was like back in the day when you could just kind of do the thing where like, where, where on the doll did the bad man touch you?
And if the child points the right spot, you like basically celebrate and pat them on the head.
Yeah, you're a good boy.
And it was just like, Holy shit, that guy could never in a million years have figured out where that documentary was going to go when he started it.
But I feel like that's where this documentary is.
And I really, again, I hope that they understand what they're filming and that they change what's going on.
They change the focus from this free speech and these weird people who have these kooky beliefs and should they be allowed to say these things?
To actually, this is an internet death cult, and it's terrible, and it's tearing apart families, and it's really bad, and we need to aggressively work to, like, debunk, stop, and denounce these people.
And I hope they can do that.
If they don't, then I'm gonna be really upset with the finished product.
Despite the harsh realities of researching this sort of stuff, hope springs eternal for Mr. Mike Rains.
That's me!
Oh, God!
The doe-eyed optimist that I am!
Oh, Sunday night, I'm gonna fall right off the turnip truck, and before I even dust myself off, I'm gonna click on HBO Max and just hope it gives me what I'm hoping for!
This is gonna be so good.
Uh, and finally, uh, Shunka Witko, God, I probably butchered that name, uh, says, I want to know more about why Tracy Beans might have skipped the big show on January 6th.
I mean, she was, is all up in my, in Flynn's bowels.
She had to know something.
Who the hell is this Beans person they keep coming up in conversation today?
Who is the Beans?
She was one of the three original like hardcore promoters of Q.
She was like the first like YouTuber that was trying to like get Q off of the
chans and onto YouTube as a thing that was like really important.
It was her, Paul Ferber, who gets a lot of run in the thing.
And also a Coleman Rogers, AKA Pamphletanon, who Pamphletanon and his wife, uh,
today, uh, because they were in the HBO documentary, and they're now getting a lot more heat than usual. Uh,
they've decided that, uh, Q wasn't real.
It was a PSYOP.
And guess what?
The Jews were behind it.
Oh, shucker.
So yeah, so in typical, uh, anti-Semitic conspiracy theory based bullshit, a bunch of people who believed in an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory have apologized for it and claimed that it in and of itself is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.
So, uh, that was really wild, but you, you, so you had, that was basically like Paul Ferber was the guy that was like hardcore on 8chan.
That was the original board that Q was posting on.
Then you had Pamphlet Anon running Patriot Soapbox, and you had Tracy Beans as the original YouTuber that was trying to get it off of just child porn, hell world, awful, chanboards, and onto polite social media.
I think that she probably avoided January 6th the way a lot of these people did by just seeing that it was a really bad idea.
kind of distancing herself from QAnon. She dips her toe back in
and all that kind of stuff. She tries to be an influencer outside of it, and so on and so forth. Her brand is a
little different. I think that she probably avoided January 6, the
way a lot of these people did by just seeing that it was a really
bad idea. And you, there were people that were on the ground,
but they realized that actually entering the Capitol was really
bad.
Alex Jones was on the ground, didn't go in.
Nick Fuentes was on the ground.
It looked like he went in from some photos, but it wasn't him.
Unlike his moron friend, Baked Alaska, who I hope gets 10 years or more for walking in, because fuck Baked Alaska, that giant dum-dum.
I just think on the whole that there were a lot of people who knew that nothing good could come of January 6th, that this was going to be a loser for the QAnon community because Biden was going to win the election.
There was no way they could actually stop it.
And anyone who knew things knew that was true.
So don't get too involved.
Are you saying that their digital army maybe wasn't masculine enough to fight in our war?
If they had had strong Chinese men... Oh, don't get me started about the Chinese army, oh my goodness, with their multi-pack abs.
Oh, yeah, if they had had strong Chinese men storming the capital with their 12-packs, they probably would have actually... Mike Pence would have saw them coming, would have swaled himself and declared Donald Trump president for life, and the Congress would have gone along with it.
All abs.
All abs, all slow motion, all of these things.
They would have deactivated the hologram Biden, and that would have been that.
Yes, absolutely.
What if they deactivate the hologram Biden and it turns into, he's Liberty Prime, he just turns into a giant robot?
Doesn't have sex with anything.
I mean, that would be great, especially that last part, because wow.
I want to make it clear, this is not a sex robot.
This is a death robot that is under the Joe Biden holiday.
I think by default robots are not, unless you assign them that role.
I feel like none of us are ever going to assume that any robot in a give conversation is meant for sex.
That's like, I just saw on Twitter a few minutes ago, someone posted a sign for a house and on the for sale sign and said, not haunted.
Thank goodness for that.
I wonder what all those houses that don't have that proviso on them are hiding.
I think it's in Louisiana.
There's a you have to disclose and like real estate disclosures house might be if you believe it to be haunted.
I think you're There's a law in the books that you have to disclose.
That's awesome.
Oh, man.
I could be making that up, but I like I am part of the real... You know who else could be making it up?
Anyone who's ever seen a ghost.
Or a hologram.
Yeah, they're all just holograms, but they're all deep state holograms trying to trick you into thinking that, like, you know, Antebellum South fashion was cool.
Or that, like, young Japanese girls are terrifying.
Holograms, man.
They can do whatever they want with it these days.
It's wild.
They brought Tupac back from the dead with a hologram like 10 years ago.
Remember when they did that?
Holograms, man.
That's the name of the episode.
Yes!
Holograms, man.
The HBO documentary on QAnon.
And holograms, man.
That's what we're here for.
Well, thanks for your question.
Wow.
Yet another mailbag going off the rails.
Well, it looks like that's probably going to wrap it up for us this week.
Another successful episode, depending on your definition of success.
Before we go, though, we do have to get to the sticky business of hitting you up for money.
But we do this every week, and very rarely do we give back to the community.
So I'm happy to say that we're starting to give back to the community in the form of even more content that you don't have to pay for.
It's gratis.
It's for free.
You can support it if you want to, but you don't have to pay anything for it.
And that is a new pop culture-focused podcast, finally, that Sarge and I have been working on called BingeWordy.
Yay!
BingeWordy.
The BingeWordy podcast.
We've done a couple of episodes that we've uploaded that were sort of like testers.
You know, we haven't really been promoting that heavily.
Our forthcoming episode on Zack Snyder's Justice League, which just dropped, is going to feature our first ever—oh yeah, they're working on those tiles—our first ever special guest, and that's going to be Mr. Mike Rains there to discuss Snyder's bulging cut, which is a terrifying and awful way to describe a thing.
There you go, folks.
A little free content that we're happy to start promoting here.
So if you ever wanted to hear me and Sarge talk about more pop culture nonsense, we figured, hey, if Kevin Smith can have a podcast network with a bunch of content on it, boy, howdy, that shit has to be pretty easy.
We haven't talked about sex robots yet, but we might review the sci-fi channel show Humans, which is about sex robots, so stick around.
And I mean, you are on the show, and apparently you've got this shit on the brain, so I can only imagine how often it's gonna come up in the episode this week.
It's gonna be terrifying.
I mean, one of the characters in the movie we're talking about is a cyborg, and it's like, I'm already... It hasn't happened yet, I've already got PTSD over it.
Well, he's... Anyway.
He's ugly.
Wow.
You horrifying monster.
How dare you?
Anyway, to get things back on topic.
So that's the new podcast.
We're putting it out.
It's free.
That's us giving it back to the community.
Now, if you want to give back to us, you can do that by putting some money into the Patreon at Poker and Politics.
Or if you like the idea of what we're doing, but you don't want to give us specifically any dough, you just want to help the cause, well, then good news.
At love146.org, you can go ahead and donate your money there.
and support anti-child trafficking stuff, the stuff that Q claims they're about,
but they don't really do anything to help or stop because they're too busy
defending themselves in court by saying every word that they've ever uttered has been bullshit,
which is a bold defense. Am I right, guys? Very cool.
So yeah. Or if you want to follow us on our various social media platforms,
you can go ahead and do that too.
Mike Rains at PokerandPolitics on Twitter.
Sarge is at HellWorldSarge.
And I am at HellWorldL.
HellWorld, of course, being spelled with a Q instead of an O, because aren't we clever lads?
Anyway, for this week's episode of the Adventures in Hellworld podcast, oh, sorry, before I go, I almost forgot, voiceover work by our boy Frosty.
You can find him on Twitter at VOFrosty.
New intro music is provided by DJ Minimal Effort.
And do we have anybody else to shout out this week?
How do we spell our new podcast?
And is it all one word?
It is.
It is one word, and it's binge, like binging, B-I-N-G-E, and then wordy, like being wordy or talkative, W-O-R-D-Y, so Binge Wordy Podcast.
All one word.
Can we give credit to the people that are drilling in the background?
I mean, hey, I told the audience up front the fucking drilling was gonna happen, and there's no way for me to do the outro and have my mic muted, so... I know.
I'm just wondering if they could get a shout-out, too.
Give them a plug.
Yeah, shout-out to the dude who are making my bathroom look beautiful AF by installing new tile in it, even though it's getting in the way of podcast recording, because, you know, you boys only got so many days off.
Anyway, so for this week's episode of the Adventures in Hellworld podcast, I've been Hellworld Al, signing off for Mike Rains and Hellworld Sarge.
