	🎵Astro Space Hero theme 🎵 Hello, I'm Mike Rains, aka Poker and Politics,
	and I'm here with another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
	I am joined, as always, by Sarge, aka at hellworldsarge.
	That's me from the internet.
	And the mysterious L at hellworldL.
	Hello my beautiful babies!
	Just classic hello this week.
	No spin on it.
	I'm firmly in the United States of America speaking the king's former English, which is now the bastardized American English.
	The king's English, eh?
	Not the Queen.
	He goes all the way back to the King.
	Yeah, Doug.
	I'm going back to when men had the power back when Caucasians are the ones with the Chinese military abs.
	I'm going back to the real times.
	I see you're a big Joe Rogan fan.
	He said if we keep getting any woker, white men are just going to be silenced.
	We will lose all power and we won't be allowed to talk anymore.
	It'll be like reverse Handmaid's Tale.
	Oh, that would be a true oppression to know that Joe Rogan won't be getting a nine-figure contract for talking to Alex Jones and other right-wing chuds, as it were.
	Also, Men's Handmaid's Tale doesn't sound that bad, right?
	Is that the whole point of that?
	Is that they just, like, they're meant to, their life is procreation?
	Like, you know, you can throw me in a bonnet and just... I mean, if we're keeping that metaphor going, that means if you're fertile, another man will, like, lie under you while a woman procreates on top of you.
	It's fine.
	Let's do this.
	Okay.
	Let's do this thing.
	Again, this doesn't sound like a bad plan, so this is cool.
	I keep trying to tell you guys I'm not this, and you're like, no, it sounded better.
	I mean, I've already got the rough dimension and body texture of a mattress or futon or sofa, so I feel like saying that people are going to be lying on top and or underneath of me is not a deal breaker.
	Anyway, this show is already going crazy.
	I say that like every episode now.
	It's just like, well, this was already off the rails.
	I mean, maybe I should just expect that the rails are kind of fucked up at the beginning.
	Yeah, we're like the Toontown trolley.
	It's just bouncing all over the place.
	That's how we operate here.
	But we're going to let you know that we're going to go to some weird places as usual.
	This is QAnon, and QAnon gets bad at times.
	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.
	In an update of this dumb stuff that happens between me and QAnon promoters, Jordan Sather has yet to take me up on my offer of either getting into a fistfight with Sarge or playing me in poker online.
	Yeah, I just saw a picture.
	I have a bow to pick with you.
	I just saw a picture of Jordan Sather the other day.
	You said he was a scrawny weenus.
	That dude's jacked, and you were like, Sarge'll fight him.
	He's not Jack, you're out of your mind.
	He's like the dude.
	You need to send me a picture of him then, because the picture I saw showed him flexing, and Jordan Sather appears to be cut.
	I have never seen cut Jordan Sather.
	Also, cut or not, he totally misplayed.
	If he really wanted to rattle Mike Raines' cage, instead of challenging him to a fistfight, what he would have done is say, hey, you should introduce our Twitter handles at the top of the show.
	Which I can't do.
	I actually can't do it.
	So I bombed it.
	I bombed it brutally.
	And I am being rightly scolded for my crimes.
	I deserve every crumb of that and I'm taking it.
	I'm taking it and acknowledging it.
	But I did have your actual adversary, your nemesis in the QAnon community, the shoddy photographer Martin Geddes, reached out.
	He's so mad.
	To declare that he hoped that I would find peace, and that my miserable, horrible existence would one day find atonement for all the evil I am spitting into the world, and that I will finally... I read those.
	Yeah.
	And that I will finally not be the embittered, miserable, churlish monster that I am, and I will be a polite, gentle soul in the universe.
	I've got to talk to Orpheus, because I'm just over here, I'm just like, where do I get my QAnon nemesis?
	I think the problem is I don't at enough people when I'm doing my snarky tweets and replies to tweets.
	I need to start actively trying to provoke these people.
	I think I have added Matt Gaetz a couple of times, but as far as I know, I'm still not blocked by him.
	If he blocks me, can I claim him as my nemesis?
	Yeah, right!
	I took him to the Met!
	I mean, a lot of guys apparently have phones in jail now, so...
	There's a good chance you can keep that relationship going once he goes away.
	Because he will be going away.
	Matt, you can't fish him while he's in prison pretending to be a 17-year-old girl from Florida.
	That'd be great.
	Do we want to segue into the news from there?
	What are we talking about, Matt Gaetz?
	It sounds reasonable.
	Let's get on with this.
	From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News.
	I love our news notes written up for me to badly do segues, but I've got Joel Greenberg folds slash Matt Gaetz probably fucked, so.
	Well, it seems like that's kind of the reason why Matt Gaetz is probably going to be going to jail, is all the fucking that he was doing.
	I saw reports earlier this week that they said that due to the testimony they were getting from Greenberg and potentially other corroborating sources, that they have Gaetz in the room doing cocaine with underage women and then having sex with them after they have been paid to do so, to have sex with them.
	Which, I just love the idea of Matt Gaetz as just this crazy party animal who's just doing blow and just screwing anything that walks into his field of vision, and it's just like... That's what happens when you're Tucker Carlson's bagman, allegedly, from sources that I can't cite, but you know, so for legal reasons, allegedly, but we all know the truth.
	I understand why Tucker Carlson was immediately just like distancing himself when Matt Gaetz tried to glob onto him.
	He's like, don't don't fucking put me in the room with you, you lunatic.
	Yeah, I'm the heir to the Swanson Empire.
	I don't need this show where I promote white nationalism and other bullshit.
	I just do this to get my rocks off.
	I ain't going to jail for this shit.
	What are you talking about, kid?
	I mean, that was Tuck's reaction.
	And it was also funny on InfoWars and stuff.
	You had Roger Stone and Alex Jones just go under the floor for Matt Gaines one day.
	Oh, yeah.
	And then the next day, they just forgot who he was.
	They have not said poo about him.
	He did not exist anymore, and you just get the feeling that a lot of- Now he gets to hang around with the QAnon GOP clique and rip his mask off in fucking Congress or whatever and just be like, I gotta take my fun!
	For freedom!
	It's like, fuck you goons.
	You idiots.
	I just love that this is allegedly the core tenet of QAnon, is protecting children from sexual predators.
	And who is Marjorie Taylor Greene hanging out with?
	A guy who's about to go to jail for paying minors for sex.
	I mean, he should be anathema to her.
	QAnon should be like, no Marjorie, no!
	Why are you hanging out with Matt Gaetz?
	That's so bad!
	And instead, they're just like, yeah!
	Yeah!
	MTG and Gates!
	2024!
	Unless the God Emperor runs, then fuck them and go Trump!
	And, like, meanwhile, they're fucking all up in arms over the fact that Bill Gates was hanging out with Jeremy Epstein.
	Now, I'm not here to go to bat for billionaires or anything, but as far as I know, like, there haven't been any reports of Bill Gates fucking kids with Jeremy Epstein, just that they were in the same room together a bunch.
	Do you mean Jeffrey Epstein?
	Yeah, who do I keep saying?
	Jeremy.
	Jeremy, dammit.
	No, Jeffrey.
	Well, Jeremy Epstein's his cousin.
	He was there, too.
	But Jeffrey, you know, the one that totally committed suicide in prison.
	So it's just great where it's just like one person actively being like about to go to jail, probably, for it.
	And they're just like, he's cool, whatever.
	He's white male.
	They're just like, well, what about this other white male who's just hanging out with a monster?
	But you insist that means it's proof of his Ecuadorian child slavery.
	It's like, eh, whatever.
	Fuck that guy.
	Yeah, they had Greenberg so dead to rights, they're like, we are going to be sending you away for 33 years.
	And now he's down to going away for six years based on his cooperation.
	So they've, he gave them a lot of information to knock over 20 years off his sentence.
	Yeah, when you're shaving two dimes off your prison term, you have put in work.
	I mean, that was what Michael Flynn was supposed to be doing when he was literally going to get probation.
	But that was before he got Sidney Powell on his case, and then he became a QAnon grifter.
	And all that other fun stuff.
	I mean, it's what happens when you're the first guy, well, beyond Greenberg, when you're the first big name to get caught, you got to move.
	You got to move and get a deal and get it quick.
	And that's like kind of the $64 question here is, is like, can Gates roll over on anyone?
	Does he have dirt on DeSantis?
	Does he have dirt on anyone else in the Florida Republican Party?
	Or is he the big fish?
	Is he the guy that goes down For all of it, period.
	Oh man, I didn't even think about who Gates might be able to flip on.
	Is it just me?
	Matt Gates is a guy we talk about a lot because he's a QAnon idiot and a pederast, but at the same time, I'm not sure what level of juice he has.
	He doesn't strike me as being particularly powerful.
	I mean, he's a son of a really rich dude and he's a congressman.
	He's on Fox News a bunch.
	He was kind of like one of Trump's guys in their little clique of people that Trump trusted.
	But I mean, now it just seems like he's already just sort of been...
	Shunted off to the side where they can cut him loose easily, right?
	Like, it no longer seems like he had, like, whatever juice he may have had when Trump was the guy and Matt Gaetz was, like, his dumb buddy.
	Like, Trump is out of office now, Gaetz is being investigated, and it seems like he's just sort of like, well, I've got my crew around me, right, guys?
	And it's like, you know, only the hardcore QAnon losers are still, like, sniffing around him, and everybody else is just like, eh, we don't really know that, dude.
	We used to see that guy around, but he was never really a friend, you know?
	Matt Gaetz, coffee boy!
	He was in the office a couple times.
	Barely even know him, exactly.
	Yeah, it's like, Matt Gaetz, never heard of him.
	Well, then what about these photos we have of you, like, standing next to him?
	It's just like, well, I mean, I didn't know him, know him.
	You know, like, he was kind of there, but, you know, it was fine.
	Like, Yeah, it could be the Trump-Epstein defense.
	Yeah, exactly.
	No, that was Trump keeping his friends close and his enemies closer.
	That's why he was hanging out with Epstein, to get the dirt on him.
	He was reporting back to the White Hats all his intel he got on Epstein.
	But I mean, the one thing I would say is, is that Gates at least was probably relevant when DeSantis was a nobody running for the governorship of Florida.
	And the only reason why he won the Republican nomination was because he was like the hardest core Trumpist in the group.
	So if you were like a lunatic Trump supporter, In 2018, you probably were hanging out with Matt Gaetz, begging for that Matt Gaetz rub to try to make yourself look good for the MAGA crowd.
	So it's like if those two lives intersected too much... I think we need to retire the phrase Matt Gaetz rub.
	It probably means a lot of rough stuff now.
	Let's just say.
	Motion carried.
	Speaking of hanging out with Matt Gaetz though, he was hanging out with MTG and we have a new new old video of her just making the rounds.
	Yeah, before she was even in Congress, she was apparently stalking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and being a creepy weirdo.
	She tried to get into a dust-up with recently, right?
	She chased her down outside of a session and demanded a debate or whatever.
	Like, fight me right now!
	Fight me on the Green New Deal, you Soros-funded commie!
	It's just this dumb theater.
	These are the stunts you try to pull to get on TV so you can be on Fox more often.
	That's the thing that's so ridiculous about her, is it's so obvious that all she cares about is growing the Marjorie Taylor Greene brand.
	She's never going to pass a bill in her life, even if the Republicans ever control Congress.
	She has no desire to do any work.
	Well, it's the same thing with, uh, what's her name?
	Lauren Boebert?
	Oh, absolutely.
	Yeah, Boebert.
	Yeah.
	Where she was just like, before she was anyone with any sort of power, she was just Yeah, they just want to show up and say aye or nay on the bill and that's it.
	employees actively carry firearms and it's just like oh well now she must really care about
	politics and definitely not just try to you know build her brand it's like fuck you you're also
	transparent yeah they just want to show up and say aye or nay on the bill and that's it there's no
	one who actually wants to do any work to craft anything i mean that's all they that's all they
	They stripped her of all her committees.
	So now all she can and has time to do is keep her name in the news and... Well before, I guess a few years back when she had even more time on her hands, what she would do is yell at AOC through the mail slot to her office to take off her diaper.
	Which is like, I mean, I can kind of see what you're going for there, but, you know, in a lot of contexts, that just sounds like creepily sexual, or, like, it's not the sort of sick bird you think it is.
	And also, man, the denizens of the internet have already been putting in the good work to take screen grabs of that.
	And in a lot of those screen grabs, MTG looks incredibly unbalanced.
	Like, lots of the Joker comparisons.
	It's just one of these crazy things to me is that she was the vetted establishment candidate for the Republicans in that race.
	They picked her over a bunch of MAGA idiots who all were literally the same person.
	I remember right before her runoff election was held, someone posted like a screen grab of the two campaign videos of her and her opponent, who was like some doctor dude from Georgia.
	And both of them were holding AR-15s.
	Both of them had like things on the screen that were like, Trump good!
	And it's just...
	It's so mind-blowing to me that they didn't vet this woman in any way, shape, or form.
	And that when all the QAnon stuff came out and all the rest of it, none of them were like, you know, we could go with this doctor guy who loves Trump and save ourselves all the QAnon embarrassment.
	And they're like, nah, we like, we like the cut of her chip.
	We like the fact that she's absolutely star-craving mad and will go to the mat for this dumb shit and really wants to get on Fox News every week.
	So do you think there was some sort of like cold political calculus working where it was just like demographically her being a like fit blonde lady was important?
	So they had to, so like they were just like we're gonna tap this fit blonde lady instead of any one of this sea of generic white dudes that we already have tons and tons of.
	Like we have an in-the-pocket completely lunatic Blonde woman that is willing to stump for us.
	And so that's the direction we're going.
	It absolutely could have been.
	That absolutely could have been some of the decision they made was that, hey, how bad can she be?
	We would like to have another, like, another woman to be like a talking head on TV, espousing our views.
	This guy isn't going to move the needle at all because he's just a boring dude from Georgia.
	She's got pizzazz.
	She's wild.
	She's wacky.
	I mean, She is those things.
	Oh yeah.
	I mean, this was kind of the ultra cynical thing they did in Utah a while back.
	There was a black woman named Mia Love who they just kept running for Congress in Utah.
	And she finally won so that Republicans could be like, Hey, we got a black woman in Congress.
	We're totally not racist.
	We're not misogynists.
	And then in 2018, when the Democrats won the House, Mia Love actually lost her spot.
	The Republicans did all this work to look inclusive, to look like they had a broad demographic of support by being able to have a couple people of color in their caucus, as it were.
	And then the moment one of them loses election, Trump is just there to trash them.
	Just let me destroy them.
	This isn't like, you know, this isn't like a new Republican move.
	I mean, lest we forget Sarah Palin.
	Remember Sarah Palin?
	Where it was literally where she had so little else going for her, aside from just being a crazy, that they might as well have just been like, and introducing our latest GOP representative, some woman!
	Isn't she attractive?
	She can see Russia.
	Yeah, when she was in her helicopter shooting wolves with an AR-15 or whatever.
	Like, so dumb!
	I have a friend who like literally...
	Will like grind his teeth to the point of like breaking a molar.
	Just straight lining from Sarah Palin to Trump, like the box of crazy that was opened by the Republican Party when they made that move.
	Like when you had such an unserious person about to be the vice president for really old guy, John McCain, and thus you were putting her like that perilously close to the presidency.
	And then, smash cut to eight years later, we have Donnie Two-Scoops running for the presidency, and he's just as dumb as she is.
	And it's like, yep, this is the Republican Party.
	And also, for what it's worth, John McCain did die.
	He would have made it out of the term, but I mean... It would have been closed.
	It would have been closed.
	I prefer my presidents uncaptured.
	I also prefer them Not criminally investigated by New York, but that's just
	not what we're getting.
	Well, uh, well, hey, Trump isn't, hasn't been reelected president yet.
	Smash cut to smash cut to 2024.
	Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby.
	Oh yeah.
	All of that.
	But, uh, right now, uh, New York's, um, criminal justice system, as it were
	starting to show a little ankle to the libs and all the people that want to
	see Donald Trump or some of his family in prison, as it were, by declaring
	that their civil investigations into the Trump organization now.
	now contain a criminal component that now we are not looking at this as just sort of violations
	that are punishable by fines or whatever else. We're actually looking at maybe putting some
	people behind bars for crimes that they have done. And this has suffice to say caused a little bit of
	reaction in the world.
	QAnon people are, of course, rolling their eyes and laughing because there's no possible way the God Emperor could ever have committed a crime in his immaculate, pristine life.
	I actually saw one person say that Robert Mueller investigated every aspect of Donald Trump's life and found nothing.
	I have no concerns about this investigation.
	Doubt.
	I can't wait for the inevitable talk about how this is how you introduce evidence in a court of law by being charged with crimes because they did that with Flynn.
	They were doing that with Gates.
	They love just totally misstating how the American legal system works when it comes to how evidence is presented in a court of law, because this is not how it works in any way, shape, or form.
	You can't introduce evidence of a different crime into the defense of your case for another crime.
	Trump can't be like, hey, yeah, you're coming after me for tax evasion.
	Here's this video of Hillary Clinton flaying a child and drinking his blood.
	And the court's like, oh shit, we have to take that evidence down.
	Trump showed it to us while he was under indictment.
	That's the way it works.
	Go grab Hillary now.
	I mean, it's just.
	That would be quite odd.
	I love the idea that there would also be no other way to admit that as evidence.
	No agency you could go to.
	I mean, you could just give it to whatever news source you think is the most reputable, right?
	I'm sure One America News would love to run the Hillary flaying tape.
	Yeah.
	Literally any newsroom would shove A bus full of nuns off a cliff to get that tape.
	Like, it just, it doesn't make any sense that it never has.
	My partner said the other day, she goes, every time you talk to me, it just goes QAnon.
	She, in my head, she said, the tagline is QAnon.
	To what end?
	And every time we bring up anything, it's like, to what end?
	Well, I mean, this one's really easy to see.
	If there's a chance that Trump is being criminally investigated, the QAnon spin room has to get to work trying to figure out how that is a domino in his inevitable victory.
	He will probably never see the inside of a jail cell, but he could see the inside of an actual dungeon wearing an actual Iron Mask, like the days of old.
	And the Q supporters would still just be like, well, being the man in the Iron Mask is just the next step in a mini-step plan for Donald Trump to take over the world.
	Yeah, every defeat is but a backward step towards victory that you haven't figured out what they were doing.
	An elaborate pivot away from what you thought was victory, but shall become victory shortly thereafter.
	QAnon thinks everything happening in life is like a heist.
	Like a heist in a bad heist movie.
	AKA any heist movie, really.
	Where it's just like, anytime anything goes wrong, just kidding, Part of a plan.
	And then like, you know, Basie, like, booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga booga bo Yeah, exactly.
	This is how they always operate.
	Everything leads to victory.
	And if you don't see that, you need to get right in the head and figure that out.
	Because we are never losing.
	We're always winning.
	Even when it looks like we're losing, we're still winning.
	Biden wins the election?
	Just a trap that we're springing on them down the line.
	Vaccinations going all around America?
	Well, QAnon doesn't actually have an answer for that except for the fact that they just want all the people they hate to take the vaccines and then die.
	But that kind of defeats their whole narrative but shut up whatever we hate vaccines we hate you blah blah blah but the story is always that the story is always we are actually winning we are turning this thing around unless we're unless we're obviously winning and then in that case we're just obviously winning in tough shit idiot lips but Going back to the idea of Trump being investigated, you've got the QAnon people who are laughing and joking about it.
	And then you have the broad spectrum of the reality-based community where a bunch of people are of the mindset, well, you know, probably nothing will ever happen.
	Trump is too rich and too powerful.
	Anyone who steps to him is going to have to be taking a really big step.
	And I've even seen some people saying like, is arresting Trump that good of an idea?
	Because probably the people that arrest him are going to start receiving death threats.
	You're going to have his mob of people attacking that city or whatever it is.
	This, to me, is an incredibly stupid mentality.
	Like, the can't win, don't try.
	It's like, no, fuck it.
	Like, if you have a legal, like, you have a legal and moral obligation to go after him if you can, no matter how pessimistic I am about it ever coming to anything.
	Like, the idea was just like, oh, the law enforcement professionals might start receiving death threats.
	It's just like, no, you don't reach escape trajectory from prosecution.
	Well, unless you're the president, I guess.
	The most wild part to me is a lot of people are looking at the way he's in Florida right now.
	So if New York criminally charges Trump, they have to go to Florida.
	And normally this is not a problem at all.
	And they say, hey, we are criminally charging this person.
	We are going to arrest them and bring them back to the state where we have criminal charges.
	Well, the way Florida's state laws are set up, the governor can block Extradition to another state and he could just like protect Trump in Florida.
	So long as he's in power, just saying, no, you can't extradite him to New York.
	But if he leaves Florida at any point, then if the governor is like basically giving him asylum, like the governor of New Jersey does not like Trump.
	So.
	Every article that I've seen about this has said that pretty much DeSantis can't actually block this, but he could do all kinds of stuff to drag his feet and try to delay the extradition and make this a real clown show.
	It just gets into this whole thing about the performative nature of Republican politics and how whoever panders to Trump and shows their fealty to Trump and whoever loves Trump the most just rises in the Republican party.
	And it's so bizarre.
	Again, this guy is a one-term president.
	Lost the popular vote both times.
	Second time, lost it in a crushing landslide.
	And yet, this party is so addicted to him that if he was indicted and he was in Florida, DeSantis would absolutely fucking do this.
	He would get on TV all the time and talk about this deep state prosecution of America's greatest president ever.
	And just banging his shoe on the table for as long as possible before finally Trump, either willingly or unwillingly, was taken in by the marshals to go to New York to face arraignment.
	I mean, it is so bizarre.
	I just think about this all the time.
	Would George H.W.
	Bush or Jimmy Carter have been able to command This sort of psychotic cult of personality after their crushing losses in their presidential elections?
	Why is this party so beholden to this guy?
	Why did they not just see that Trump's a losing proposition and say, hey Donnie, tough break, sorry you lost, smell you later, and just get out of town?
	I think it rhymes with white nationalism.
	Wait a minute, I think I told that joke wrong.
	I think it is white nationalism.
	They're just like, Donald Trump is willing to say things like, all Mexicans are racist, so I love him because he seems like he likes white people and dislikes non-white people.
	Yeah, he tells it like it is.
	I mean, and he likes getting on mic and saying stuff just to hear the pop of the crowd, which is incredibly important when you're in the GOP, which is the professional wrestling of politics.
	It absolutely is.
	I mean, that's really what Donald Trump is.
	He's just a guy going out there and cutting a wrestling promo about the bad, evil deep state and their evil, scummy, non-white supporters.
	And what you're gonna do lives when Trumpamania runs wild on you and then he rips off his shirt and Ben Garrison would drop a pack of eight pack of abs on him like a Chinese soldier and all this other stuff to pretend that he isn't what he is which is A 75-year-old guy who's overweight.
	In his last year in office, his president was bragging about passing cognitive mental tests.
	Had a case of COVID so severe, his doctors were debating putting him on a ventilator or not.
	He's a very stable patient.
	His wrestling foil is the dreaded ramp.
	It's just a guy in a ramp costume.
	It's just like, oh, oh lord!
	This fight's really about to ramp up!
	That was so terrible, it was great.
	His doctor was inclined to agree.
	I can't endorse these jokes.
	Yeah, really sloping off.
	That was a reach.
	Hey, sometimes you gotta reach.
	You have to hit three, man.
	It's a rule.
	It's a comedy rule.
	I've heard this.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, yeah, like, the Trump shit is just ridiculous.
	And once again, like, it sucks that he will probably never see the inside of a jail cell, but at least make him go through the motions.
	Like, he is rich, but he's not endlessly rich, so just bleed him.
	Bleed him.
	You know who is seeing the inside of a jail cell?
	The Q Shaman.
	And apparently something something Q Shabba and apparently his lawyer pissed some people off.
	Everybody, comma, everyone.
	Yeah, well, Mike, when we were doing our show nuts, Mike refused to tell us what was going on with the Q Shabba because it was gonna freak our beans.
	So here we go.
	Well, I don't think it was good.
	I was planning on freaking your beans.
	I just won't.
	The peddling already begins.
	Well, well, well, what a very Republican like way to do this, Mike.
	Get me all riled up, and then as soon as it's payoff time, backpedal immediately.
	That's me backpedaling Mike Rains, the Republican light of the podcast, as it were.
	Republican light.
	Hey, I'm basically a Republican, Sarge is the centrist Democrat, and Elle is the flaming lib.
	We're like the Neapolitan ice cream of politics here on this forum.
	In the upcoming WrassleMania, so we don't get sued, when they finally have the big match where they do the long-anticipated unmasking of who has been The Ramp, it will be revealed that it is Mike Rains all along.
	Yes.
	I am The Ramp.
	Oh my god!
	Oh my god!
	It's gonna be Kane!
	So, uh...
	The QAnon shaman's attorney, uh, decided that he was, he begins by speaking and he's like, look guys, I'm going to work blue here.
	Okay.
	Just work with me.
	Just accept this.
	And, uh, he says a lot of these defendants, and I'm going to use this colloquial term, perhaps disrespectfully, but they're all fucking short bus people.
	Wow.
	That is pretty great.
	Wow.
	This is a lawyer?
	This is a lawyer.
	This is the lawyer for the Q Shaman.
	This is his story.
	I mean, wow.
	Like, again, all of these conservatives.
	I mean, this guy has to be a conservative, right?
	This guy, there's no way in hell this lawyer is liberal.
	You can't be when you say shit like that!
	Still using the term short bus to describe shit in general is an extra-liberal move, right?
	Nothing highlights that you have missed a lot of notes on Wokenist, like still referring to things as short bus.
	Yeah, I don't really like that one anymore.
	No, Watkins continued, these are people with brain damage.
	They're fucking retarded.
	They're on the goddamn spectrum.
	Wow!
	Wow.
	A lawyer saying it.
	So yeah, exactly.
	Look at just how performative and, like, this is Attitude Era GOP.
	Like, they got their Steve Austin into the presidency, and now everything else is trying to rise to match that level of edginess.
	And at some point, just like the Attitude Era, people are going to get fucking sick of it, and that's going to be that.
	Oh no.
	And the best part about this is after that train wreck, after he just drove that truck right into a telephone pole, he realizes he may have gone too far and continued by saying, but they're our brothers, our sisters, our neighbors, our co-workers.
	They're part of our country.
	These aren't bad people.
	They don't have prior criminal history.
	Fuck!
	They were just subjected to four years plus of goddamn propaganda, the likes of which the world has not seen since fucking Hitler.
	So he finishes up by calling Trump basically Hitler, which is an awesome pivot from his previous rather aggressive commentary about mental illness that his client is suffering from.
	I wonder how his client feels about that.
	Man, I love it when my lawyer alienates everyone before my trial.
	Well, I mean, he's certainly not, I don't think he's really going to be alienating any of his fucking, you know, core demo, aside from, like, the handful of Republican people that happen to, like, you know, have relatives that are, like, on the spectrum or have some sort of other developmental disability, you know, or maybe suffered a traumatic brain injury.
	All these brain-dead fucking morons!
	It's like, holy shit.
	Nice one.
	I mean, man, like, you know, like, like, like, I grew up in and Mike Raines is still like in New England.
	And for those of you who don't know, New England is home of Boston and Boston is home of using the word retarded to describe things as a pejorative.
	And we have managed to get away from that shit.
	So we could do it fucking anybody can.
	If we could just work on wicked now, that'd just be great.
	If we could somehow pry that word out of our stupid mouths, which seems incredibly unlikely, given the nature of what's going on in Boston.
	Wicked nor'easter.
	Yeah, but people are still going to need a way, like, not all people from Boston have the accent, so people are still going to need a way to discern them, like, you know, when they're having a conversation.
	We have to keep the word wicked.
	Otherwise, they would just be, like, people with good taste in sports teams.
	Yeah, that's right, everyone who's not from New England.
	I fucking said it.
	Our sports teams are dope.
	Boom.
	Shit is litty titty.
	Except for, uh, the Patriots, which, you know, we're having, call it a couple of restructuring seasons.
	We're going through a real difficult break-up.
	Something had to set on that empire eventually.
	Mac Jones is the future!
	The future!
	I mean, here's hoping.
	Because when she walked out, we found out like a week later on Facebook that she's doing just fine.
	You know what I mean?
	She is doing great.
	She's living her best life.
	We're riding couches.
	Yep, that's pretty much how that worked out.
	Not great.
	Not great.
	We need to turn that around this year, so we shall see.
	As the adventures in Hellworld pivot into sportsball, which is a better place to be in than, again, dealing with the Q Shaman's idiot lawyer just deciding to disgrace his profession and America and the world and humanity in general by being just an absolutely colossal piece of shit.
	I don't know.
	Did the Q Chauvin's lawyer say anything worse than Rudy Giuliani?
	There's a lawyer that's really shitting on the whole profession.
	Rudy, I mean, Rudy's working for his time in the barrel too.
	I've seen a bunch of articles about how probably, I mean, most people that are talking about the totem pole of arrests, as it were, basically Gates is like totally fucked.
	And then probably Rudy's more likely to get indicted than Trump actually is.
	But I mean, it's just so crazy that.
	Basically, everyone involved in the previous administration is in some way, shape, or form facing legal jeopardy from being anywhere near our former president.
	That was how scummy Trump was, that now it's just sort of like, if you worked for that administration, you just leave that section of your resume blank because you don't want law enforcement to go combing over it.
	Hey, but all of Trump's adult children still have social or have Secret Service protection, which I read is very odd and is just like scamming taxpayer money.
	Yes.
	Especially because like, weren't two of them accused of being like, like of some sort of improprietary with the bodyguards?
	Like, aren't taxpayer dollars going to some like a little bodyguard flirtation and maybe molestation?
	Oh, I didn't see this.
	Oh, this was from a couple of weeks ago.
	It was like, yeah, a couple of, like, the female extended circle or whatever was accused of some sort of improprietary, like, acting inappropriately with members of Secret Service.
	I didn't look too much further into it, so I'm not going to speculate anymore, but... I just remember a while back there was a big story about how Jared and Ivanka Wouldn't let the Secret Service use the bathrooms in their apartment.
	Yeah.
	They were being protected.
	So they actually had to go elsewhere.
	And they were using like the Obama's bathrooms at one point because they had contacts with the Obama family.
	They were like, hey guys, we're coming over to take a poop in your house because the current president's family won't let us.
	And the Obamas were like, sounds great.
	This is totally not weird or awkward in any way, shape or form.
	I just saw that Jared Kushner still has like Secret Service protection.
	They're like, that's very weird.
	Everyone just agrees that's really weird.
	And he, the Secret Service has to spend a bunch of money to follow him around now because he's still like a jet setter.
	Even though he should not be, but... Just to do a little bit of due diligence, as somebody speaking into this here can, a headline from TheGuardian.com, Trump family members got inappropriately close to Secret Service agents, book claims, and then the first sentence of that there article is, two Trump family members got, quote, inappropriately and perhaps dangerously close, unquote, to agents protecting them while Donald Trump was president, according to a new book on the U.S.
	Secret Service.
	So if anybody wants to look more into that, they can, but that is what I was goofing on.
	Yeah, that book also went into about how a bunch of the Secret Service were getting kind of like really MAGA about things and some of them would wear red ties when they were on patrol details to show solidarity with POTUS and the boss and that, uh, Once Biden got in, Biden was kind of like, yeah, I want my old detail.
	I do not want the current presidential detail protecting me because I don't know if they really, I don't know, like me that much.
	That whole, you know, catching a bullet to save my life kind of thing.
	Maybe that's not on their minds as much as I would like it to be.
	I love the idea of them having to, like, do little things like that to show solidarity with their boss or whatever, to prove that they're really, like, they're just like, yeah, we really love the president.
	And it's just like, you know what I think shows that you love the president?
	Being part of the presidential security team.
	Being part of the Secret Service.
	Being part of the Secret Service.
	Being obligated to die for the president, if need be.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, when you are around the president, like, there's like a radius around the president the Secret Service literally calls the kill zone.
	That is, like, If you're there, you are at risk of dying should there be an attack on the president.
	And the presidential motorcades now, there's like one, uh, the back car of the motorcade is basically a car that if anything happens, they literally stay and fight.
	And their orders are to like engage until dead, pretty much.
	In order to let the rest of the motorcade get distance and run, drive away.
	Well, yeah, because the back car is the car that houses the hologram projector to keep the president like, you know.
	To protect him from magic bullets.
	Yes.
	So if anything ever happens to the back car, then the jig is up because they'll damage the precious hologram.
	So it's just like, you guys have to stay and fight.
	No running away for you.
	The hologram does not have an unlimited radius.
	You need to stick around and handle that shit until we get the president behind another building or something and you can turn it off.
	Well, you brought up holograms.
	That's a great way to segue into things that don't exist, a.k.a.
	the Arizona Audit and the nonsense they're coming up with.
	Well, the Arizona Audit exists.
	No, that's so dumb.
	real time it's happening. The Arizona audio exists. I know that's so dumb it can't possibly be real.
	Um you're wrong.
	Sadly.
	That's not true.
	That's impossible.
	Sarge with the most low energy Luke Skywalker there's ever been.
	That was out.
	I'm throwing you under the bus anyways.
	That segue was...
	It was the reach.
	Sometimes you gotta reach, right?
	I learned it from watching you.
	Oh, you certainly didn't learn any of these segues from watching me, boy.
	I'm not gonna let you put these on me.
	I learned it from watching you!
	Next week, El gets Segway duty, and we shall see how smooth it goes.
	Executive edict from Mike Rains.
	So El's back in the hot seat next week.
	But the Arizona audit, I really feel like what happened here is that The Republicans in Arizona were just like, you know what?
	We're gonna let Cyber Ninja do their thing, which is whatever it is.
	And then after two or three weeks, they'll come to us with a report of some scandalous bullshit.
	We'll release a press release.
	Everyone will pretend it was a big deal.
	And then we'll just all get on with our lives.
	After having got a bunch of free media for this crap, helped everyone line their pockets with some grift, and it'll be great!
	And then somebody just started harassing people for servers that they have no rights to have access to.
	They start talking about knocking on people's doors to hold up a ballot in their face.
	Did you make this vote this way?
	Tell us what was happening with your vote!
	And having people getting interviewed about checking ballots for strands of bamboo that were on them to prove that the ballots came from China.
	Yeah.
	Professional supervillain.
	It was at this point that the Arizona Republicans realized, oh wait, Cyber Ninjas was not some smart grifting service.
	They're not like Roger Stone or one of these people that really is on the ball about-
	Professional super villain, yeah.
	Right there.
	These are clowns.
	These are clowns who don't know what they're doing.
	They're making it up as they go along.
	And in their infinite stupidity, they're making themselves look bad.
	They're going places where they shouldn't be going and trampling on toes of people they shouldn't be trampling on.
	And now, They realize that this is going to lead to us looking like idiots for having back to these people.
	So you have Jack Sellers, the County Board of Supervisors Chairman, along with other Republican elected officials from Arizona, declaring this thing to be a grift disguised as an audit.
	They're asking a president fan of the Senate to end this whole thing immediately. And this is, this is what
	happens when you get in bed with these kinds of these kinds of scumbags. They burn you. They burn you in
	the most vicious manner possible.
	Duh and or Ola.
	Yeah. And.
	And what's really, oh my god, like a couple nights ago, Steve Bannon was on his podcast, which has slightly more reach than ours, unfortunately.
	But one day we're going to catch you, Bannon.
	One day you're going down.
	And He actually got to the point where he was talking about, you know, all this stuff that's going on in Arizona and blah, blah, blah.
	And, uh, you know, around August 15th, we might have Trump's inauguration.
	And then he just like stopped.
	He didn't want to say the full word to pretend that like maybe he was mumbling or that he was going to be saying anything other than inauguration.
	And then he started laughing and talking about the MyPillow guy because MyPillow guy has already talked about Trump becoming the president by the end of the summer.
	So that would line up with August 15th.
	So these people know what they're doing and they're working this scam where Trump will be the president in three or four months.
	Just you wait.
	And by the way, keep opening your wallets and throwing money at us so that it will happen and Trump will be the president very soon.
	So you're saying that they didn't find the soy sauce smoking gun that was happening on these ballots, proving that they were from China?
	They're gonna break into the Panda Express any minute now.
	They did find the Szechuan sauce on the ballots, but it was actually from McDonald's, which is American, so it didn't work out as much.
	So you're saying they didn't find the traces of bamboo on the ballots that were the smoking gun leading them to indicating that the ballots were from China?
	No, they might have.
	We haven't seen the final report yet.
	So we have to hold out the possibility that the final report will show us strands of bamboo on ballots only for Biden.
	And that's how you're going to be able to denote the fake ballots.
	They'll all be marked for Biden and they'll all have bamboo strains in them.
	Whereas all the American ballots will have Trump and no bamboo and just like cheeseburger grease or like gunpowder or something on them in order to better delineate that they're American ballots.
	Well, until we get any evidence to the contrary, it sure sounds like those ballots have no wood.
	Speaking of no wood, you know what else has no wood?
	The Republican share to the GOP in South Carolina.
	Boom!
	And that's how it's done!
	Segway!
	Yes!
	I figured I would save myself a week of doing it next time we record by just doing it great now.
	I can take the rest of the podcast off.
	He's achieved his goals.
	Catch you guys later!
	So, our good friend Lin Wood was soundly defeated for the South Carolina Republican Party chairmanship this weekend.
	Drew McKissick, the incumbent party chair, crushed him, receiving almost 70% of the vote.
	Yeah, it was by a lot, right, when I saw it?
	Yeah, this was about... Yeah, it was not competitive.
	This was uncompetitive.
	This made Tampa Bay, Kansas City look mild by comparison.
	This was rough.
	I had to look it up once I got that idea for the segue in my head.
	I was like, I need to look this up to make sure that I'm going to say the right Carolina.
	And I accidentally found out more information than that.
	Thanks, Forbes!
	Yeah, so it was like, out of the 870-odd people who voted, almost 600, I think it was like 580, voted for Drew McKissick, and Lin Wood only had a couple precincts that were apparently the QAnon precincts that voted for him.
	Yeah, according to this Forbes article, more than 67% of the GOP's 861 delegates voted for McKissick, and Wood only drew 28%.
	Yes.
	Yeah, so Linwood did not get anywhere near winning this thing.
	He was aggressively crushed.
	He went to Telegram to wish McKissick luck.
	Did not state what kind of luck he wished him, but just said he wished him luck, and then pouted a little bit.
	And now his telegram is back to what Linwood cares about the most, and that is fighting the attempts by the Georgia Bar Association to make him undergo a mental health evaluation.
	Somebody on Twitter reposted something.
	I don't know if it was his gab or telegram or whatever, but with some people responding to the news by just being like, I don't know, it seems fishy with those Dominion voting machines or whatever.
	You guys have no idea what's going on.
	It's like 861 people.
	What are you talking about?
	So dumb.
	You could literally walk up to all of them and talk to them over the course of a day if you wanted to.
	You could get their numbers.
	You could fill a chamber with them and just have the voice vote.
	Just a yay or nay vote.
	And, spoiler warning, with a deficit of 67% to 28%, it's going to be pretty clear.
	Yeah, everyone in favor of Drew McKissick, raise your hand.
	A million arms go up, or in this case, 500 go up.
	Lots of energy here.
	Good to see the arms up.
	Lots of energy.
	Everyone in favor of Lin Wood, put your arms up.
	Oh, I'm not seeing a lot of arms.
	Anyone got cramp?
	Anyone feeling something?
	All right, keep those arms up.
	We're going to get cyber ninjas in here to count these arms.
	We'll get to the bottom of this.
	We're going to check.
	This person's finger said soy sauce on him.
	Fucking Chinaman.
	Apparently Q Shaman's lawyer is now part of Cyber Ninjas and is now looking at people and calling them...
	That would be the least weird thing ever.
	If you came on next week and told me that was true, I would be forced to believe you.
	Yeah, that's the problem with this actual hell world that we live in is that nothing is implausible when it comes to this.
	I mean, next week, Matt Gaetz could be president of the universe for all we know.
	And it's like, oops, well, that's a thing that happened.
	And Steve Bannon's mumble grumbles about Trump being inaugurated was actually a double-triple fake for the secret inauguration of Matt Gaetz, as it were.
	Oh man, we are plum out of news.
	There's nothing less.
	Let's talk to our people.
	We can do that right now.
	Our listeners got questions, we got answers.
	It's time for Q and A.
	So SubZeroShirtArt, who is rapidly coming up the ranks of our inquisitors, asks, given how things have been devolving as of late, is there a way for Q followers to go any lower and dumber than JFK Jr.
	LARP accounts that post via Google Translate or whatever Costesra is pushing?
	There is a guy I hadn't been following until recently who is JFK Jr.
	Like, literally, that's the name of the channel.
	John F. Kennedy Jr.
	Has over 200,000 subscribers.
	And posts weirdly incoherent nonsense from the office of John F. Kennedy Jr.
	That is his official governmental title, is the office of JFK Jr.
	What, like, I mean, I guess, like, office is in the literal room?
	Because JFK Jr.
	holds no office.
	I, yes, I have no idea what... He holds a casket, right?
	Yeah, well, he doesn't really hold it so much as he rests in it, as it were.
	The other thing that's really cool about the office of JFK Jr.
	is it is apparently in Madison, Wisconsin, which I don't know why the most liberal city in a purple state would be housing JFK Jr.
	when you would think he would have more ties to, I don't know, Boston.
	Massachusetts.
	But Boston is very close to the ocean, which he might want to be avoiding.
	That's after his apparent brush with death.
	Yes.
	But it was only a brush.
	He is totally fine.
	He rubbed some dirt on it.
	He's all good now.
	The other thing about these things is that his statements are gibberish.
	They're written very much like Riddler Q, only not questions, just bullet points.
	The Madison, Wisconsin message is, there is only one form of truth.
	Then he says, I am not paying the ransom exactly like my father, but the I is offset.
	It's like they hit space and then just wrote the sentence anyways.
	A few people are upset by my recent actions because I'm no fan of the terrorist organization.
	I'm not a fan of traitors, murderers, and criminals.
	To enlighten once again, there's only one form of truth.
	Jesus helped Kennedy.
	Jesus blessed Kennedy.
	My website will be up and running soon.
	Oh God, I cannot wait for his website to be up and running.
	The JFK Jr.
	website, as it were.
	Um, the Jesus Fan Club website.
	Yes.
	Starring JFK Jr.
	There's none of those.
	We definitely need more of those.
	There were so many JFK Jr.
	Twitter and other social media accounts once the whole QAnon JFK Jr.
	stuff started getting out of control that it's amazing that anyone could have like broken out of the pack and managed to accrue themselves An audience that is in like the six figure club as it were.
	And the thing about this is...
	He comes from a social media platform that is at hsretoucher17.
	So it's like hsretoucher17.
	And I don't exactly know what the whole... I don't know what the metamorphosis of this account was and how it got to this point, but...
	It's secretly Matt Gaetz, and the account is a high school regarding toucher.
	Who is him?
	He's the high school toucher.
	Matt Gaetz has outed himself.
	That's what I hear you're doing.
	This sounds good to me.
	I'm willing to accept.
	Matt Gaetz is JFK Jr.
	confirmed.
	That makes sense.
	All the pieces fit.
	I'm now totally windpilled.
	Breaking news!
	Uh, my favorite part of this is when I did a Twitter search for that, uh, that handle.
	The, uh, top post is by somebody whose avatar is a black and white cat that they've photoshopped to have the Punisher skull on the neck of the cat.
	Cause that is, uh, apparently all the internet is, is Punisher skulls and cats.
	They love that fucking skull.
	Get the boat.
	Just like, we just need another flood.
	We've, time to reset.
	Hey, God promised us no more floods, and an almighty, all-powerful being would never go back on his word.
	They probably also kind of wouldn't make a mistake and have to kill everybody and reset things, but hey, that's either here or there.
	I mean, they haven't seen me play any Civilization-style game.
	There's always one reset.
	Gotta kill all the animals, except apparently any of the animals that live in the sea.
	The animals in the sea get to take over.
	Cats and dogs absolutely covered with the sin of humanity.
	Dolphins and whales, blameless.
	The most beloved of all animals.
	So yeah, that's always been kind of my view of the Flood.
	It was basically God just saying, don't eat seafood.
	Those are my chosen people, I didn't kill them!
	Or eat the shit out of seafood, because all he did, he just reduced, he Thanos-ed the population of things that were eating seafood, leaving like very few things to eat, but nothing but seafood to eat!
	Yeah!
	This is true.
	This is true.
	Maybe he made it plentiful, and we are supposed to eat fish.
	You didn't know that it was- Can you imagine if that was God's- Oh, sorry, you go.
	No, I was gonna make a Red Lobster joke.
	It's not worth going back for.
	So your Red Lobster joke trampled all over my Judaism joke, and now they're both dead.
	Anyway, thanks for the question, listen.
	So Grand Inquisitor Chairman Walkman asks, it is the 32nd slash 73rd delta of Cyberpunk 2077's release.
	Any thoughts or revelations?
	And he added, I think it's 32 73rds out loud to help me better pronounce that.
	Well, my immediate impression is, what the fuck are you talking about?
	Is this just like a weird way of saying, yo, now that Cyberpunk has been out for six months, what's the deal?
	Yes, that's what we're going for.
	Okay, that question was hard to parse.
	That was not necessarily a dig, it was just that having Mike read that question out loud did not help me really parse what we're supposed to be talking about.
	I don't think any of us have gone back.
	I know I personally haven't gone back yet.
	I've kept up on the big patches.
	I enjoyed my one playthrough, but I think we talked about it on a previous episode.
	Every time I played, I never turned off my system or stopped playing on my own.
	I stopped because my system crashed.
	So... Yeah.
	I got halfway through my second playthrough, and that was kind of before all the patching happened.
	And then...
	When everyone told me the patching was going to happen, I waited for the patching to happen, and then I just didn't get back into it.
	I mean, I... The game was, like, fine, but what I was hoping for was, like, an incredible, like, 10 out of 10, and what I got was, like, a 6.5 or a 7.
	And that's, like, kind of, like, my feeling on the game, was that it just... There was so much that it could have been, and it didn't get there, and...
	This is only magnified, and I think we've said this before, maybe if not here, then maybe on BingeWorty, but the Dreamon subplot is just... that should have been the whole game, and it's really frustrating that it wasn't.
	So spoiler alert for those of you who haven't gone into that, but...
	I think they're making their best effort to fix it.
	I mean, like, so the problem is, like, I had a perfectly fine time playing it once I started running it on Xbox One X or whatever.
	And then, you know, I would still have crashes here and there, but I didn't have any more, like, the graphical issues.
	So I still had, like, a solid seven and a half, eight out of ten time with the game the first time around.
	I haven't gone back to it yet because I'm just waiting for storyline DLC to come out.
	Like, I'm waiting for new content to go through that isn't Because, like, the last thing I want to do is, like, retread the original game several times, and then when the DLC comes out, it's like, oh, now I either have to pick up one of these characters where I'm already done leveling them, and that's a lot of the carrot on the stick for me, and have them run through the DLC, or I have to retread through the game yet again until I get to the point where I can unlock this DLC.
	So I'm just gonna let it simmer.
	There's plenty of stuff to play right now.
	If I was gonna go back and replay a game, if I had access to a PlayStation system right now, it would definitely be Ghost of Tsushima.
	Um, that game I've sort of been itching to replay through because it's so massive and I never actually finished it the first time around.
	Yeah, right now for me, uh, they did a thing.
	It was like, I don't know if it was like the play at home series or whatever for PS4, but they did a thing where they gave out, oh, they gave away Horizon Zero Dawn and the DLC for free.
	And I did that and I realized that it didn't download it into my previously like finished game.
	So at some point I'm going to break down and just replay the whole game so I can do the DLC on top of the original game.
	Because Horizon Zero Dawn was awesome, and I can't wait for Forbidden West, so that's going to be, like, good times.
	Yeah, no surprise to El, but I am playing through Mass Effect Legendary Edition right now, so that's where I am.
	My roommate picked that up, and there's a chance that I might try to tuck into it, because I never really played any of those games.
	So we'll see if me with my special eyes, nice reference me, manages to, because you know, having not played it before, but keeping up with video game news, especially back when the Mass Effect games were still like contemporary or whatever.
	Like, knowing its failures and stuff going into it, I wonder if I will be able to appreciate it the same way that people who were playing it the first go-round did.
	I doubt it, but we might give it a try.
	Also, I might start replaying Hades again, because that game's just great.
	Fair.
	So our other Grand Inquisitor, A.I.S.
	Millard, asks, what do you think will become of Ghost Ezra in a year?
	How will the posts Their shift.
	I think the most interesting thing for all QAnon promoters over the course of like a actual year
	from like May 19th, this 2021 to 2022 is going to be just keeping hope alive, keeping everybody
	positive and vibing and feeling good. And I just, cause I just like see so much talk about how
	they'll all be like just beating their chests and saying, don't think about 2024.
	Think about 2021.
	Trump's coming back now.
	It's going to happen.
	And when you actually like go through an entire year of just constantly promoting that Trump is going to reveal himself as the president and either Biden will be de-hologrammed Or reveal himself to be James Woods.
	Or whatever the payoff is, like just trying to keep that forward momentum going when you're in the quicksand of reality and you just have to deal with the fact that Biden is actually the president.
	Trump is actually just golfing and waiting to see if he gets indicted or not for his crimes.
	It's just going to be so hard for them to like deal with that headwind.
	I mean, they're going to do it and they're going to have people are going to keep buying in, but.
	Do they keep their audience going strong?
	Do they keep growing?
	I was talking to some other QAnon researchers, and basically when you make an account on Telegram, that account remains active for six months.
	But if you don't do anything with the account after six months, it sort of like goes away.
	And that's going to be very interesting to see.
	Like, in three months and then on, what happens to the numbers for all these people?
	For all the quote-unquote serious QAnon promoters?
	For the JFK juniors?
	For the Ghost Ezras?
	Do they keep their current follower accounts?
	Or did a bunch of people log on Telegram and then go, ah, this shit's confusing.
	Ah, fuck this.
	I'm just gonna stay on Twitter and YouTube and whatever.
	So like, because it's so hard to actually get a feel for what their audience is at this moment.
	Is it growing?
	Is it shrinking?
	And because at least we have that sort of like kill switch on these like inactive accounts coming up in a few months, that'll be a very kind of cool barometer to see how it's going for them.
	But I mean, you know, at the same time, people like Ghostizer are pretty spooky, in the sense that, like, the stuff they're peddling is so off the wall, and there is definitely, like, such a contingent, like, because, you know, it's not like they have 400,000 followers, and then when six months shows up, boom, they're down to 50k, or whatever, you know what I mean?
	Like, even if half of their followers are inactives, that's still 200,000 people, like, buying into James Woods is Joe Biden.
	You know, like, fuck it, the Earth is flat.
	Like, all that weird shit.
	So I feel like the fact that there are so many people just buying into Ghost Ezra's particular brand of just off-the-wall lunacy, that they're probably going to be just fine in a year's time.
	I think that if they have to pivot to, like, less QAnon-related rah-rah stuff and just into more Actual conspiratorial lunacy.
	I don't think it's really gonna affect their their user base as long as they have a platform to just talk about nonsense.
	I mean they're they're like Ghosts of Israel gets into Holocaust denial and some really dark stuff.
	So like he's a he is the weirdest dude.
	He's like, hey flat earth.
	He actually at one point said like The only two things you can't question in this world is the shape of the earth and the Holocaust.
	Why is that?
	And it's just like, how do you put the dumb, fluffy stupidity of flat earth right next to Holocaust denial?
	That is such a bizarre thing to smash together.
	And I think that will be basically his pivot will be just go to like pure Illuminati stuff.
	He'll just forget about Trump and just get into this whole thing of like, who's really running stuff around here?
	What's going on?
	And he'll become more of the hero as time goes along.
	He'll stop making Trump and Q the hero.
	It'll be just Ghost Ezra fighting the bad guys!
	Is there a current like king of conspiracy theory loons like outside of the Q-Sphere?
	Is there just like a current person at the top of the social media post just like, all I do is talk about wild conspiracies.
	Is it Alex Jones?
	It's kind of Alex, but I mean, he's been so badly deplatformed that, I mean, he just doesn't have the kind of pull that you would want from your conspiracy king.
	One of the worst conspiracy theorists out there right now is Dr. Naomi Wolf, who is just constantly posting bullshit on Twitter about how vaccines are bad and will kill you.
	And you need to just reject all this bullshit and align your chakras and all this stuff and don't wear a mask.
	And it's just, it's so horrible that she's allowed on Twitter, has a blue check mark.
	And just says all these things, and it's just... Joe Rogan.
	Joe Rogan's the king of the conspiracy theory now.
	Joe Rogan, yeah, Joe Rogan's definitely up there, but... Yeah, well, I mean, like, in terms of platform, I guess, like, obviously, because he's got, like, 200 million... That was my joke, not-a-joke answer.
	But, like, I mean, the thing is that Joe Rogan got to where he is by just talking about fucking anything, so, like, his messaging is definitely not the sort of juicy, Viciously pro-conspiracy theory stuff that I feel like whoever wears the crown has to be more invested.
	Alex Jones I think is closer than Joe Rogan without going over.
	The thing about Rogan is that he's just there to let you run him over.
	If you're on his show He'll just let you truck him and he'll just acknowledge whatever you say.
	And even if like you, like you literally could have Alex Jones on his show one day and then have like the two guys from Knowledge Fight on the next day.
	And he would be as obsequious and spineless to both sides.
	And then the next day he could have Alex Jones back on and he would completely forget what the Knowledge Fight guy said.
	And he would just go back to being Alex's buddy.
	Like he's just a jellyfish when it comes to these interviews.
	He's tofu.
	He's a tofu person.
	He takes on the belief.
	Yeah, he found a niche that wasn't being served properly and started serving it, and now he's, like, fucking richer than God because of it.
	So, like, you know, who's to say if that was the wrong call?
	Like, whether or not you like Joe Rogan, his business acumen, or at least, like, the place he has settled in by either, like, intention or just dumb luck is certainly... I'm jealous.
	I would love for 200 million people to be listening to me or whatever.
	That would be incredible.
	Can you imagine?
	Yeah, we would love an exclusive Spotify deal.
	Spotify, get at us.
	Yeah, and I tell you, Mike Raines will try to convince you that I'm worth way less than I am, but I will tell you that it is bona fide that I am worth less than Joe Rogan.
	So Spotify, hit me up and I'll talk to this kid just for you.
	But yeah, anyway, so getting back to the Ghost Desert thing, it's just like, The reason I ask is because I think it would be neat if, because it's pretty obvious to me that QAnon is not forever, but what QAnon's, like, legacy will be is that it just, like... Yeah, what it becomes.
	It, like, it has just sort of highlighted that people are still hungry for conspiratorial, like, stuff.
	Like, they still want to believe in all of the dumb shit that they've always wanted to believe in.
	Elvis was never really dead, either.
	Tupac was never really dead.
	JFK Jr.
	is not really dead.
	You know what I mean?
	This shit is not new.
	The UFO sightings may have been real this whole time.
	Isn't that shit crazy?
	We never talk about that because there's no QAnon angle to it.
	The QAnon angle is, yo, this QAnon weird bullshit and the fact that America and now the rest of the world at various stages is all on fire is detracting from the fact that UFOs are just real?
	Yeah, do we want to divert into UFO Corner?
	Because for the first time ever, I have someone I know, not just like friend of a friend, but literally a friend of mine was like, yo, I saw something I can't explain.
	Doc, have I never told you I have seen something I can't explain?
	No, we haven't gone over this.
	Really?
	When I was like a wee lad, like I don't break it up very much because I was young at the time, and it could have been anything, but I wasn't so young that I didn't know what an airplane was.
	But when I was a wee lad, I was living in Georgia at the time, and I saw what I can only describe as a triangular, and not a fucking airplane.
	Because I was looking at it from ground level going up.
	So if it was an airplane, it was doing a barrel roll at the time.
	Because I looked up and it looked like a triangular flying craft, just kind of hovering over the moon.
	It was backlit by the moon, and I just saw it slowly fly across it.
	Now, like, again, I was really young.
	There's a chance it could have been an airplane, but I know what airplanes look like, and this whole time, like, it just looked sort of like a, it looked sort of like a doorstop, for lack of a better term.
	It just looked like a, like a, like a full-on triangle.
	It was weird.
	I don't talk about it very much, but it, like, it definitely happened.
	Like, was it an alien?
	I have no idea what it was.
	I just don't think it was an airplane.
	Like, it could have been like a, like, like, if somebody told me it was a weather kite that the government was, like, experimenting with, I'm like, yeah, sure.
	There's our next special series.
	Audience, get at us.
	You want to hear us talk about UFOs and pay us money for it?
	I will gladly talk about UFOs for your money.
	I'm down for any sort of any topic that people want us to spit into a can for for bonus content.
	I am there and I am there yesterday.
	You know, we need Ghost Ezra to take the crown for conspiratorial lunacy, and then we need to come for the crown as like the countermeasure to Ghost Ezra, where we're just like, hey, we're coming for it.
	You're on notice, last podcast on the left.
	Unless Spotify does in fact want to want to throw some of that money our way, in which case we will happily re-embrace our Spotify exclusive friends last podcast on the left.
	We will join the Last Podcast Network.
	If someone wants to pay us to do this full time, I will sell out so fast.
	I don't think there's anything such thing as selling out anymore.
	What is our next question?
	Off topic, eggnog or pumpkin pie?
	Oh, shit.
	Oh, yeah, I saw this one on Twitter.
	Oh, baby.
	Oh, baby.
	Pumpkin pie, because eggnog makes me sick.
	Like, literally, I can't have it without taking a pill.
	So pumpkin pie.
	I love eggnog.
	I really love eggnog.
	It's delicious.
	So, I'm a huge eggnog person.
	See, this one... There's a lot of variables.
	Well, I mean, are we talking homemade?
	Are we talking... Me and Al have lived together, so I know he's gonna land on eggnog.
	He's gonna debate it for a while, but he's going to land on eggnog eventually.
	Well, I mean, you guys, like, when we lived together, we were not in pumpkin pie country, my dude.
	Like, nobody ever introduced me to a pumpkin pie that was worth half a shit.
	And I'm gonna say, off the shelf, Absolutely, a carton of eggnog from Hood or whatever is better than just your average, like, market basket or what have you, you know, food lion brand pumpkin pie.
	But I think homemade does make it a lot closer.
	And are we talking about, like, are there any sort of fixins or whatever?
	Like, can I, can I a la mode that pie?
	Because that might put pie over the top if I can a la mode it.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	No, for sure.
	So, I mean, I think, like, if we're talking store-bought, absolutely eggnog over pumpkin pie.
	Like, 100% of the time.
	No contest.
	If we're talking homemade, and you get to choose your fix-ins, because, like, homemade eggnog is better.
	Oh, but I guess, is booze a fix-in?
	Yeah, we need more information.
	Lipsnurr, come back to us with more details.
	For now, I can answer it this way.
	No fix-ins, store-bought, eggnog over pumpkin pie.
	Homemade, fixings, not including booze, pumpkin pie with the Alamo treatment, because I just like the juxtaposition of warm pie and cold ice cream.
	Or custard, if you're like British, because custard is delicious.
	And then, if booze gets introduced back into the equation as a fix-in, I think that gives eggnog the edge once again, because who doesn't want to get a little toasty during the holiday season?
	So I guess, like I said, a lot of variables, but I drew them both equally.
	It's sort of like Sophie's Choice.
	Sophie's Delicious Choice.
	Sophie's Delicious Choice.
	That is the name of our little Debbie replacement.
	Yes.
	Boy, if ever there was a name for a podcast right there, Sophie's Delicious Choice, we need to get on that one.
	Hit us up on our social media if you want Sophie's Delicious Choice as one of your bonus podcast offerings for our Patreon supporters.
	I will be happy to make the hard choices.
	That would be great.
	That's our snack podcast within a podcast.
	Now we're doing bonus content.
	We don't need to have podcasts within podcasts.
	We can have podcasts that spin off for the people that are willing to give us money.
	We will gladly eat your weird snacks that you send us for Sophie's Delicious Choice.
	I'm not opting in for that, no.
	I mean, there's a chance I would do that, but I'm not as 100% double... Send us food, mystery people, and I will eat it is not something that I'm going to commit to.
	Yeah, we're only an anti-QAnon podcast.
	We're not going to get a fucking... You were complaining earlier about maybe having to fight Jordan Sather.
	At one point, Mike Rains said that my time was only worth $5, and now you're trying to say that I'll eat anything our listeners submit to us.
	Not anything.
	I said snacks.
	Actual snacks.
	They have to come in wrappers.
	Some snacks are awful.
	Like that, God, I can't remember the name of it.
	What's the price you pay?
	That like fermented shark from like Iceland or whatever.
	Like, you know, it's got that horrible name, like you literally can't open a can of it in a room without having to just burn the room to the ground.
	Yeah, I'm not committed to eating that, somebody said this.
	How about any salt-based candy, like salty licorice?
	My mom has, my mom is traumatized by that fermented shark stuff.
	She brings it up, like, once every six months.
	It's like, I can't believe people eat that!
	It's the worst thing in the history of the universe!
	Yeah, humanity's been eating weird, gross shit to stay alive for a long time now.
	Yeah.
	So thank you for the question that Elle was trumping at the bit to answer.
	Champing.
	Not trumping.
	Trump.
	Okay.
	Champing.
	Pretty rocked out me that.
	Unlucky Leaf has two quick questions for us to wrap this up.
	The first one is, do Lady Gaga and poker share the same poker face?
	I have to say that I dealt the World Series of Poker in 2009 when Poker Face was blowing up on the radio and it was like the third song in the casino all the time.
	I heard that song so much it Oh, it drove me crazy.
	I mean, it was just like, I get it.
	Can we please get over it?
	But poker being so thirsty as it was for any mainstream attention and adulation, there was a big song called Poker Face Out There, meant that the casino had to run it into the ground.
	As it comes from my actual poker face, I'm pretty, like, I would just say good at that because I've played so much poker.
	I'm kind of jaded and cynical about things nowadays and running a bluff or having a big hand.
	I've done that so often it really doesn't, like, get the blood pumping as it were.
	I mean, if it was a big pot and there was, like, a lot of money on the line, then yeah, maybe there would be some cracks.
	Maybe I would give something away, but...
	If the pot's like $80 and I was like, slide 50 bucks in there as a bluff, like, I don't think you'd be able to, like, make an easy read on me, as it were, that I'm like, I'm like, oh, he doesn't have it!
	I got him!
	I can call!
	Or whatever.
	I think that I would either win or fail based on the merit of my play and the strength of your hand, as it were.
	So that would be my take on that issue.
	Sarge doesn't play poker at all, so he has nothing to offer us here.
	I play Magic, and I give shit away all the time.
	On your other thing, though, I joined the Army right after the song American Soldier came out, so I feel your pain.
	In a different way.
	That definitely beats mine.
	I was working at a GameStop back when they used to send us a disc that we would have to put into a machine to play the fucking advertise roll for the store.
	Right.
	And one of them had the killers when you were young on it.
	And uh that was so I got to listen to that like 20 or 30 times a day and uh you know it wasn't it wasn't completely useless because it did hit me to the fact that uh like I always thought that there was something weird about the killers and then listen to having to listen to that song over and over again uh hit me the fact that the lead singer of the killer sings like a Dracula.
	He told me about that.
	I've talked to Sarge about this before, but that song is definitely just like, you can imagine Dracula singing, he doesn't look a thing like Jesus!
	As for the poker face, I haven't done it for high stakes or any stakes financially really in a while, but I like to think I'm pretty good at hidden information games like Secret Hitler and stuff.
	Yeah, L is very good at social hidden information games, I would definitely say that.
	But he's terrible at any game that involves luck.
	Oh yeah, that is true.
	Like, man, if I could really just wrap my head around, like, if I just dedicated myself to chess, maybe that's the lane I've been missing this whole time.
	Just a game where there is literal zero luck.
	And finally, Unlucky Leaf asks, if Joe Biden is a hologram and Trump is really president, have you seen any Q folks go after Q folks for bad Biden policy and explain that this is a really bad Trump policy with Biden just being the messenger of the policy?
	Wow.
	I have heard this, that like people explain, uh, Ghost Ezra loves to talk about this and a bunch of other promoters will say stuff like, the stuff Biden's doing is waking up the normies to how terrible he is.
	He's the ultimate red pill.
	It's almost like he's under control.
	So basically all the disastrous bad things that are happening under Biden are done on purpose to show America the evils of liberalism and the terrible nature of democratic governance.
	So we will get red pilled and then run back to daddy Trump, either when he
	reassumes the presidency via argle bargle in 2021, or when we reelect him in a
	landslide that is so powerful, he even carries California and it finally goes
	red in 2024.
	The storm wave.
	The storm wave, yes.
	The powerful storm wave arrives.
	So yes, they've created this alternate reality where Biden's evil is just part of the plan because it's waking people up.
	I've seen so many people say, Biden's the ultimate red pill.
	His disastrous presidency is making even the hardest of hard normies figure out the harsh truth about what's really going on.
	Meanwhile, all the normies are just cashing their $1,400 checks, getting their shots and taking their masks off.
	So I mean, it's just, it's just the normies are not getting pilled the way QAnon wishes they were.
	So.
	Well, maybe, maybe they should be rolling those pills into lifesaving vaccines.
	And then a lot more people would opt in.
	Yes.
	Because I know that my 5G is amazing right now, man.
	Did you see?
	What state is it?
	I think it's Arkansas.
	They're going to give out $5 million, $1 million to... Ohio!
	Oh no, that was Ohio.
	The vaccine lottery.
	Yeah, five people in Ohio are going to win a million dollars each with fruits of vaccination.
	Fuck it, I wish my state would fire that up.
	Let's go.
	I'll take my free roll entry into a million dollar tournament.
	Let's do this.
	Same, same.
	Massachusetts, get on that shit.
	Let's go.
	Put me in for a million ball.
	Yeah, God, that would be... It would be the easiest million dollars they ever spent, too, because I would never be able to claim it, because upon learning that I had won one million dollars less taxes, my heart would immediately explode out of my chest.
	I would just die.
	So much stress would be pulled out of me all at once.
	An empty skin mass that used to be me would just hit the ground.
	All of my bones and organs would disintegrate immediately.
	Like when an addict goes to rehab and dies.
	Yeah, I mean, every stressful thing in my life has to do with the fact that I don't make enough money.
	So winning a million dollars would kill me.
	It would just be like BAM!
	I would die with the biggest smile on my face.
	I remember someone saying that they came back from school or something.
	And their dog hadn't seen them for like a year, and their dog actually died of happiness upon seeing them.
	The dog was so excited, it like freaked out and had a heart attack or something.
	Yikes.
	It was like the strangest, weirdest, most like, oh my god, how could this actually be happening kind of thing.
	And they were like, yeah, it was just so overcome with emotion, it didn't know how to process it and couldn't handle it.
	Mike Rades knows how to end a show talking about dog death.
	Talking about a dog dying of, I guess, the opposite of loneliness.
	Being so happy that they weren't alone anymore, that they are dead.
	And now I have to follow that with our outro stuff, which is great.
	So, you know, setting me up for failure.
	Anyway, thank you everybody for listening.
