| Hello everybody. | |
| Welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld. | |
| I am Mike Rains, a.k.a. | |
| Poker and Politics, and I am joined, as always, by Sarge. | |
| Hello from the internet. | |
| And we are not joined by El this week or any other co-hosts. | |
| El got abducted by QAnon terrorists, we believe. | |
| Yes. | |
| Patriots, as they would call themselves. | |
| And since this was very unexpected, we did not have anyone run in to fill the third chair at the last minute. | |
| So we're doing a two-man pod this week. | |
| We hope to maintain the high levels of quality you expect from Adventures in Hellworld. | |
| We're in big trouble. | |
| Yeah, and we also have to warn you that this stuff gets kind of dark sometimes. | |
| 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 we're going to open up today with breaking news, which I don't have a sounder for, | |
| and nor do we have El to do the breaking news bit that he would do. | |
| And that is that there is now crazy infighting between Telegram and Gab, because the founder of Telegram, A reclusive, eccentric, whatever term you get from your news media to describe a rich person who's a weirdo. | |
| Pavel Durov. | |
| He apparently was targeted by some sort of spyware known as Pegasus. | |
| Oh boy. | |
| that is run by an NSO group who are backed by Israel. | |
| And once you put the words like spyware and Israel and telegram together in a sentence, | |
| you create a perfect storm for the people that frequent those sites to get very nervous | |
| about what's going on in their beloved social media platform | |
| that allows them to do things like, you know, question the Holocaust and uh... | |
| All that other sort of fun stuff that these people do. | |
| new. Was Hitler really the bad guy in World War Two? | |
| Question mark. This is this is how they operate. So the moment you | |
| have Israeli spyware being a part of this whole thing. Now, Telegram | |
| is very suspect and capitalizing on this story. And I believe | |
| this completely to be the case. Ron Watkins has claimed to be | |
| banned from Telegram because he was about to come out with an | |
| explosive story about Pegasus. And it's meddling in Telegram and what Telegram was being used for vis-a-vis Pegasus and | |
| the NSO group. | |
| So Pavel had to put the clamps down on Ron and he just kicked him off Telegram. | |
| This is the this is the exact shit that we brainstorm early on when Q stopped tweeting we said Tweeting when Q stopped posting we said there was gonna be something and they were gonna start fracturing and They they did it to themselves they they had multiple platforms and CodeMonkey went to one and And he is trying to kill the others. | |
| I would not be surprised if he doesn't have some sort of financial piece of the pie in the other one. | |
| He's not allowed on Telegram, so I would not be surprised to find out that Ron Watkins has some sort of skin in the game vis-a-vis Gab in Telegram financially. | |
| What's really weird about this is that Ron is claiming that he personally got banned from Telegram and that he has been shut down and silenced, yet his personal Telegram channel still exists, as does his AlienWiki channel, but he's claiming that those channels only still exist because there's a mod Who he gave moderation powers to in those channels, and that that mod is keeping those channels afloat, but that he personally is no longer allowed access on Telegram. | |
| Has Telegram made any statement? | |
| No, Telegram hasn't said shit about this yet. | |
| It's very interesting to see what's going on here. | |
| Most people that are following this right now are in total disbelief at the idea that Ron got 86'd from Telegram. | |
| Because again, Telegram is an absolute cesspool. | |
| You have Ghost Ezra with over 330,000 followers preaching Holocaust denial, anti-Semitic bullshit, all the absolute clown shit that he promotes. | |
| And no censors allowed on this place. | |
| I mean, it's really tough to think for a moment that this is on the level. | |
| So one more time from the top. | |
| So Telegram is compromised with spyware that may or may not have been written in Israel. | |
| That made them all freak out. | |
| Maybe justifiably so. | |
| And Ron said, in response to them being compromised with spyware, said he was kicked off because he knew about it? | |
| He said that he was working on a big story, like his own personal story about the Pegasus telegram being intertwined and exactly how it was all working out. | |
| So basically, Ron was claiming that he had a big scoop that was going to break things wide open and make Sarge's keyboard continue to just chatter like gunfire. | |
| In the background. | |
| I thought I was typing quietly. | |
| Nope, you're not. | |
| You are incredibly loud. | |
| So, basically, he's doing what all of these people always claim is happening with these stories. | |
| I was getting too close to the truth, man, so they had to put me on ice. | |
| They couldn't let me tell my tale because it was too hot for the system. | |
| The mainstream media, which in this case was fucking Telegram, was like, oh no, Ron Watkins is onto us. | |
| We gotta try to shut him down so that he can't expose what we're doing. | |
| It's so dumb and so weird. | |
| So here's the post on Gab from Ron. | |
| So he's like, I was just banned from Telegram. | |
| Was in a private channel preparing a big drop about Pegasus. | |
| Right as I was preparing to push info out, Telegram booted me and banned my phone number. | |
| I appealed the ban, but I doubt it will be effective. | |
| If the Telegram appeal is granted, then I will address the issue again. | |
| I believe Pepper is an admin on the CodeMonkeyZ chat channel. | |
| I emailed her and will ask her to pin a message and shut down new messages to the CodeMonkeyZ chat channel if she is able to access and administrate it. | |
| Effective immediately, the CodeMonkeyZ channel, the CodeMonkeyZ chat channel, and the AlienLynx channel on Telegram are compromised until further notice. | |
| I mean, the AlienLynx, that's the big one. | |
| Thank God he let us know that the AlienLynx channel is also compromised. | |
| So he said they're all compromised. | |
| Did he specifically say... Did I miss it in there? | |
| Did he specifically say he was banned? | |
| Or just that he believes they're all compromised? | |
| The opening statement was, I was just banned from Telegram. | |
| The first line of the statement was, I was just banned from Telegram. | |
| There was just so much gibberish there that I lost it. | |
| Oh yeah, it's easy to lose the plot. | |
| Even in a paragraph like this, Ron's just packing in the bullshit as it were. | |
| And he provided no, like, screen cap of his ban notice. | |
| Nope, there's no screen cap on the Gab post of his ban notice. | |
| I am now crawling through my telegram. | |
| Press X to doubt here. | |
| I just don't believe that one of the dumbest right-wing, like, desperate Twitter replacements would ban Q. They have to know, like, Whoever's running Telegram knows he's Q. Like, we all know that he's Q. And there's no... I don't believe this for a fucking second. | |
| He has money in Gab or some bullshit. | |
| Or he's just genuinely crazy and believes it's, like, actually compromised by Mossad. | |
| Yeah, I mean, there's only two options. | |
| A, he's trying to give the cube seal of approval to Gab, or he is just nuts. | |
| I really don't know which it is, and I really think it's kind of a distinction without difference at this point. | |
| Torba, quote, reposted this, because that's how I found it. | |
| Because Ron, for some reason, because Gab's search engine is dogshit, so when I typed in CodeMonkeyz, I didn't get anything. | |
| And when I typed in Ron Watkins, I didn't get anything. | |
| Uh, right now, uh, they're, uh, Torba and Gab is very much bragging about, uh, allowing you DMs, which is, oh my God, the ability to direct message people. | |
| Holy smokes. | |
| And... Ooh, yeah, that's, that's the big stuff. | |
| Yeah, and what was really funny is the LeBron hater, as I always call him, Relentless Truth, he posted a thing where he was like, hey, Torbs, how about we get a fucking working search function where I can type in, like, a person's name and some keywords and find old posts of theirs? | |
| And it's like, you want functionality on Gab? | |
| Get the fuck out of here! | |
| Are you kidding me? | |
| I mean... | |
| This place is such a ridiculous scam. | |
| I mean, they literally have a griftometer on the side of the screen. | |
| Right now they claim they have 58.7% of their monthly funding met, which sounds like they're off 10% because we're two-thirds through the month, the 21st day, so they should be at like 66%. | |
| But this is the thing is that the GAAB Grift-O-Meter almost always makes it to 100% by the end of the month. | |
| And if it doesn't, it like taps out at like 98%, so they're almost fully funded. | |
| I've never understood how the griftometer works because you would think that apparently they don't have monthly upgrades. | |
| Apparently you can't pay monthly for Gabbro. | |
| No, I thought one of them, didn't you post that one of them's going to a monthly subscription to get basic functionality? | |
| Yeah, now that button exists. | |
| I just checked. | |
| So like, they have a month-to-month for $15 a month, and then they have the one-year plan for $99. | |
| So if you... Oh, wow, roger that. | |
| But I'm just saying, if you do the math on that, oh my god, they're gouging the shit out of you on the $15 a month plan. | |
| That is not even close to being a... | |
| Acceptable amount of money to pay compared to the yearly. | |
| My official stance is this is all horse shit. | |
| Ron wants Gab to succeed over Telegram or smaller because he has some sort of financial stake or they gave him something. | |
| Alternatively, option B, which I think is less likely, Because I do think Ron is crazy. | |
| He genuinely thinks they're compromised by Mossad and like that people are actually spying on him like he has any information that matters beyond like incriminating himself. | |
| Yeah, you are paying for the for the honor of going month to month on Gab Pro. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| What? | |
| Give me the what? | |
| What do I get? | |
| Give me the what do I get? | |
| You're paying you're paying $180 for something that they're willing to give you for. They're willing to give you for | |
| 100 for So you're almost paying double to do monthly, which is ridiculous. | |
| I mean, usually when you're offered like a monthly subscription versus a yearly subscription, the yearly shaves off like 20% maybe, if you're a real business. | |
| Because these people understand that they're asking a lot for you to make a yearly commitment. | |
| Hey, do you want to hang out with the other Nazis? | |
| Yeah, I do. | |
| All right. | |
| Well, just give us eight bucks a month. | |
| Really? | |
| Eight bucks a month to get what I'm banned from doing on Twitter for free? | |
| Yeah. | |
| I guess. | |
| This is what you get if you upgrade to Gab Pro. | |
| These are all the perks. | |
| You get a checkmark. | |
| So you get a checkmark for owning the libs. | |
| Awesome. | |
| You get to compose rich text posts with bold italics and underline. | |
| Ooh. | |
| Pro users get their own GabTV channel to post videos because you can't post a video on YouTube then link it to Twitter. | |
| Ooh, holy shit. | |
| That has to be so much porn and so much racism and so much racist porn. | |
| Oh, it's all of these things. | |
| And I bet some of the porn is non-racist interracial porn because it's the ultimate forbidden fruit. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| Oh yeah, I mean that's the kind of thing, I mean it's like so many of these guys who are white nationalists, when it all comes out, they have a non-white girlfriend or a non-white partner of some kind. | |
| And it's always one of these things where I'm a white nationalist and my girlfriend is Asian or black or something. | |
| And it's just like, how do you square that? | |
| And it's always the fact that like just mommy and daddy hated that ethnicity so much that it just became exotic. | |
| It became irresistible to me. | |
| Oh, sorry. | |
| I just came up with a fun game. | |
| Do you want to play a fun game of what flags did Sarge see when he was out in rural Missouri? | |
| There were three flags on this house. | |
| One was higher than the rest. | |
| I'll give you a hint. | |
| There were no Trump flags this time. | |
| They were all American flags. | |
| The Gadsden flag was the highest one. | |
| Is that the Don't Tread on Me? | |
| Yep, that's the snake. | |
| Okay, no, that was there. | |
| So you got one of three. | |
| Okay, so I got the Gazlin flag. | |
| Was there an Appeal to Heaven flag? | |
| No. | |
| Oh, yeah, they're okay. | |
| So there was a Confederate? | |
| No, no, you're not. | |
| No, this is it's gonna get a little weird. | |
| So there were three flags. | |
| The highest one was a monochrome black American flag. | |
| No blue, no thin blue line? | |
| Just, just black white? | |
| No, no, no, it's all black. | |
| It is all black. | |
| Just all black. | |
| I had to look this up. | |
| It means no quarter given to the enemy. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And then behind it, lower was a normal American flag and the Gadsden flag. | |
| Oh, cool. | |
| That is very interesting. | |
| I'm gonna have to look into this matte black American flag. | |
| It looks rad. | |
| I'm not gonna lie. | |
| It looks really cool. | |
| I had to look it up. | |
| I wanted to stop and take a picture to post, but I was genuinely concerned that the person living there would come out armed because they are a badass and I just looked up and they are letting me know that they do not take prisoners that no quarter given apparently the mono black American flag not just black and white mono black. | |
| Yep. | |
| Oh yeah, well, I think that the no quarter given thing is based off the idea of the black flag, which was kind of the flag of the pirate, which was that if you fuck with me, it's to the death. | |
| That's just the way this works. | |
| That was Sarge's fun with flags corner. | |
| Which I'm sorry Elle missed, but... Oh god, we're gonna have to get Frosty to do the... Yeah, Fun with Flags! | |
| What's up next? | |
| It's Sarge's Fun with Flags! | |
| Oh god... I had to stop and look at a flag in front of one house, because it said... | |
| Whites on it, but it wasn't windy, so I couldn't see the rest of this flag. | |
| I was like, oh boy. | |
| And no, the family was just nerdy. | |
| Their last name was Whites, and they had designed their own family crest flag. | |
| But all I could see at the bottom was Whites, and I was like, oh no, you guys, you guys need to let this one go. | |
| Yeah. | |
| All right. | |
| So here are the other things. | |
| Your hard-earned cash. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| I jumped into Flag Corner in the middle of GAMPro. | |
| No, it's not a problem. | |
| We got Gab Pro to dig into. | |
| Give me more Gab Pro features. | |
| There's no other news to talk about today. | |
| We don't have Kevin McCarthy throwing a fit about the 1-6 series or anything. | |
| Back to Gab Pro. | |
| Remove all promoted posts to your Gab social feeds so you don't pay Pay $15 a month or $100 a year so you don't have to read Torbz's bullshit. | |
| That's basically all that is. | |
| It's just remove all of Torbz's horseshit from your feed by giving Torbz your money. | |
| This is like literally when you buy a mobile game and they say pay $5 to get rid of the ads. | |
| That's what Twerbs is doing to you. | |
| But since Twerbs can't get anyone to advertise on Gab because nobody wants to be associated with neo-Nazis and just other forms of hatred, the only advertisements on Gab are for Gab by Twerbs. | |
| It's like Alex Jones, all the ads on his show are just for InfoWars and the shit they sell. | |
| Yeah, it's all 50% off, double Patreon points, free shipping, it's all that. | |
| It's all of that. | |
| Schedule posts on your social media feed. | |
| Yeah, Twitter allows you to do that. | |
| You can schedule posts. | |
| Yeah, there's a bunch of other apps that support Twitter and let you schedule tweets. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Bookmark and save gabs to a private collection. | |
| That's called having a functioning search option, which, again, was something the little brawn hater was begging for. | |
| Set your gabs to self-destruct after a period of time. | |
| Hey! | |
| That's just called Snapchat. | |
| Yeah, those are called stories. | |
| end that those are called those are called stories. Those are | |
| things that's everywhere else. Although Twitter is getting rid | |
| of fleets because it didn't work for them. | |
| But yeah, that's literally nothing. | |
| And here is the last thing your cold hard cash is buying you. | |
| Give it to me. | |
| I'm ready. | |
| Fight against Silicon Valley tyranny. | |
| Oh, they're just pocketing money. | |
| Just like, oh, they're trying to make it sound all noble. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Give us your money to fight Silicon Valley. | |
| Oh yeah. | |
| That's real. | |
| Thanks Torbs. | |
| I'm buying Torbs another Bentley to fight. | |
| So I'm not going to give Zuck another yacht. | |
| I'm going to give Torbs another Bentley. | |
| That's where my money goes. | |
| Does Torbs ironically drive a Tesla? | |
| You think? | |
| Oh, God. | |
| Well, I mean, at this point, I think you'd almost have to not, because I think Tesla is not cool. | |
| I mean, Musk is weird. | |
| Musk is one of those guys that they love, but then they remember that he's a weird billionaire with a baby mama in the music industry, which is a not great industry for those people. | |
| How have we been doing this podcast for as long as we have? | |
| And I don't think we've ever talked about Elon Musk. | |
| Because he's really tertiary in the QAnon world, and they don't know how to feel about him because he's like pro-crypto, which is good, and he's doing space stuff, which is good for the non-flat earth people. | |
| I mean, the Ghost Ezra people and the other people get kind of prickly when you get into the whole space thing. | |
| So, like, on the one hand you have, like, the rich billionaire who does the crazy stuff we approve of! | |
| Right. | |
| But he's been... I don't think he has been, like, had his name spelled out in a Q-drop, but Q did at one point use E-M as a... | |
| It's one of Q's dumb things where he lists a bunch of people's initials and then is like, people whose initials I listed, you know that you're in trouble because I'm Q and I'm going to bring the ruckus because that's like my super secret code. | |
| Q drop 428. | |
| Oh, here's one. | |
| Why is EM being provided with big WW subsidies? | |
| No subsidies equal question mark. | |
| So like you may have mentioned him, but it's Q so it's it's all horseshit and we don't know for sure. | |
| Uh, I think there's like one, there's one Q drop that I'm digging for right now that, uh, is, uh, it's like, he's listed all the people he kind of hates in like one massive thing. | |
| I've completely derailed us with Elon Musk, but I don't mind because I am genuinely surprised that it has not come up before. | |
| I mean, we started the podcast and like, uh, almost immediately got into January 6th. | |
| And that kind of ruled the roost there for a while. | |
| And then Q stopped, Q left. | |
| When the people needed him most, the avatar disappeared. | |
| Yeah. | |
| We're coming up. | |
| I said it on Twitter as a joke, but we're, I think we're two thirds through the year since he last, there was a Q drop. | |
| Oh yeah, absolutely. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I mean, that's just. | |
| And the people are getting restless. | |
| I mean, there are people who are still fiending, that are still looking out the window for Daddy to come home, but it feels like most of them have kind of come to grips with the fact that we are all we have now, and we've got to kind of... | |
| And we've got to kind of, kind of, we got to kind of make this work. | |
| We got to kind of get, we got to kind of right this ship. | |
| Here's the, here's the QDROP I was thinking of. | |
| It's QDROP 571. | |
| And he lists at Jack, which is the Twitter guy, MC, which is Mark Zuckerberg. | |
| And then it's a bunch of initials that I can't name off the top of my head. | |
| E-S-E-M-S-H and then M-S-M for the mainstream media. | |
| But in the middle of all of them is E-M for Elon Musk. | |
| And then he says, do you know we know? | |
| Do you know that we see all? | |
| Do you know that we hear all? | |
| Fear! | |
| So FEAR is all capital letters, then the word THE is all lowercase letters, and then STORM is all uppercase letters, and then he goes all caps the rest of the way. | |
| NO ONE PLAYING THE GAME GETS A FREE PASS! | |
| NOBODY! | |
| If you guys if you guys ever wondered why I needed a week off like this this shit is Genuinely frustrating to listen to it is oh my god. | |
| I'm sure Oh Jeff Bezos Yeah, I mean Yeah, I mean, this is the thing, is that Q does these dumb things where it's a not-tough puzzle to solve, and then you solve the puzzle and you feel smarter for having done so. | |
| But, I mean, it's like really, I mean, it's not... So you're saying we could have gotten rid of the whole Q movement if we just gave them all free, hidden-object click adventure games? | |
| Just, like, super simple puzzles? | |
| Oh, pretty much. | |
| I mean, it's really racist ones. | |
| Yeah. | |
| What's really funny is what because I found this by doing MZ because I was just like, because EM is a part of words. | |
| So it trips way too many Q-drops. | |
| So then I just have to... The letters E and M, yeah. | |
| Yeah, it's weird. | |
| It's so wild that the most common vowel and a really common consonant merge together and fit lots of words. | |
| Head exploding meme. | |
| But oddly enough, MZ doesn't fit into a lot of words. | |
| MZ stands out on its own. | |
| And there's an April 4th, 2018 Qdrop that reads, MZ to step down as chairman. | |
| MZ out of US. | |
| At Jack. | |
| Good luck. | |
| Q. | |
| And last I checked, Mark Zuckerberg's still in America, still chairman of Facebook. | |
| That animate skeleton is still around, still being awful, barbecuing from his backyard and holding an American flag while he water skis. | |
| Yep. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So, I mean, it's like, uh, once again, Q, I mean, this is the thing about Q is that they, QAnon, is they don't ever set a deadline on any of this. | |
| So, uh, Zuckerberg, when Zuckerberg does leave Facebook as chairman, this will be a Q proof. | |
| Bam! | |
| Boom! | |
| Dunk! | |
| Behind the back slam dunk. | |
| Qdrop 1014 confirmed! | |
| Zuckerberg steps down as chairman of Facebook in the year 2035! | |
| Nailed it! | |
| That's like a 17-year delta! | |
| Oh shit, 17! | |
| Hopefully they're all wiped out from not being vaccinated by this point. | |
| Yeah, so all of that happened. | |
| And so now we will circle back to the thing we were talking about. | |
| The fact that in real news that's been done in real situations, Kevin McCarthy decided to have himself a pouty, satty fit today. | |
| Oh, give me the news bump before you get to the news. | |
| Oh, of course. | |
| Anything for you, good sir. | |
| From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Cues in the News. | |
| We are consummate professionals here at Hellworld. | |
| The absolute height of professionalism here. | |
| So Kevin McCarthy, basically what happened was, and this is the actual Kabuki theater that was given to us, Pelosi allowed McCarthy, the names from Republicans, to be on the 1-6 committee to investigate what happened. | |
| Right. | |
| She then also stated that I can veto any of those people because this is not a bipartisan congressional inquiry. | |
| This is my inquiry. | |
| We tried to play with you and you guys didn't want to. | |
| Right. | |
| You guys wanted to be dicks, so you don't get to have any real power here. | |
| But I will allow you to name people, and if you name people that are appropriate, I will accept them. | |
| And McCarthy put Jim Jordan on the committee, because he knows that Jim Jordan is unacceptable, because he's a dumb asshole who likes to stride around without wearing a suit jacket on all the time. | |
| Well, then I won't put anyone on the committee! | |
| this is about argle bargle fur furar. And so Pelosi said no Jim Jordan and no other one of the other dramotes you | |
| picked is also unacceptable. So McCarthy's like, well, then I won't | |
| put anyone on the committee. I'll start my own committee with | |
| hookers and blackjack. And can he do that? | |
| He's gonna have a committee but it does not have subpoena power or any actual congressional gravitas to it. | |
| It's just a bunch of jamokes running around saying we're gonna find out the real truth on one six, which is another Arizona audit. | |
| Right. | |
| They're going to audit the 1-6 investigation and find us the real truth, which is not actually going to happen. | |
| So that is our very exciting, dumb, intercedent party drama in Congress. | |
| I mean, this is the thing. | |
| I really feel like the Republicans shot themselves in the dicks with this thing, because if they had done, if they had just agreed to the one-sixth commission, and then they threw sand in the gears, then they started subpoenaing people all willy-nilly and being dicks about it, they could have fucked this thing up. | |
| You're now going to have a committee that is all Democrats and Liz Cheney, who is fucking furious At these people. | |
| I mean, this was Liz Cheney, who, while this was all happening, Jim Jordan, like, tried to grab her to, like, help escort her down into safety. | |
| And she, like, slapped his hand away and said, Fuck you! | |
| You did this! | |
| Like, this is something you pricks did, and I know it! | |
| And, uh, FYI, because I'm a woman congressperson, if this mob sees me, They might know I'm Liz Cheney. | |
| I have a chance. | |
| But if they see a woman congressperson in the halls as they're storming around getting ready to kill people, if they see me, they'll probably just kill me. | |
| They might say, oh, that's Liz Cheney before they kill me. | |
| But as a woman, I'm still going to die. | |
| You Jim Jordan, they might be like, hey, you're Jim Jordan. | |
| We know you. | |
| We love that guy. | |
| We love you. | |
| I mean, as long as Jim Jordan doesn't have to answer the question, will you reinstall Trump as president? | |
| And then he says, I can't do that. | |
| Then they'll kill him. | |
| I mean, but I mean, Jim Jordan gets some time to run away. | |
| He gets some time for security and reinforcements to show up to save him. | |
| You're Liz Cheney. | |
| You are, as they would say in video games, kill on sight. | |
| You are just K.O.S. | |
| I mean, the mobs just target you and they're just on you. | |
| That's it. | |
| You're done. | |
| They definitely had a list of people that they, you know, wanted to get. | |
| I think my favorite thing was I saw someone on Twitter posted, what is the Republican 1-6 investigation going to come up with? | |
| Are they going to claim the crowd was chanting, hug Mike Pence! | |
| Hug Mike Pence! | |
| It's just going to be another Arizona audit. | |
| Right. | |
| Oh, absolutely. | |
| They're just going to lie. | |
| They're just going to lie their butts off. | |
| But the problem for them is that like, they don't even have like an actual, I mean, some of them might be able to grift off it. | |
| Some of them might fundraise by like, help us find the real truth about 1-6. | |
| I'd say that seems risky, but we're in Hellworld. | |
| We're in the endgame now, Stark. | |
| like, who even knows like they can. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, it's, it's not great. | |
| Uh... | |
| So it's really suspect. | |
| It's really sketchy what's going on. | |
| Well, while we're talking about 1-6, we have our first felony conviction, right? | |
| We've had convictions up to this point. | |
| Oh, we have a sentencing is what we have. | |
| We have a sentencing. | |
| Yeah, our boy Florida Man, as he was named in the headlines of the articles I was reading, Paul Hodgkins got himself eight months in the pokey for his involvement in this attack. | |
| And by by accordance with like pretty much what everything I was reading from people, this is what people thought he was going to get. | |
| Like this was not lenient. | |
| This was not brutal. | |
| This is about what you get for these charges. | |
| For storming the Capitol. | |
| Well, I mean, I think it's, I don't think he did like, like the whole break down the doors. | |
| Do you, do you have his exact charges? | |
| Uh, I, I believe that I have the power of the internet, which will allow me to obtain. | |
| You have a quiet keyboard. | |
| I do have, I do have the quiet keyboard between the two of us. | |
| So, uh, yeah, so I'm, I'm the one who, um, so yeah, I'm the one who has the ability to, uh, Type in one six sentencing and have it pop up without there being because you say eight months. | |
| Yeah, there's this is all just so fucked. | |
| There's so many people in jail for years because they they had some weed on them. | |
| Oh, yeah, our drug laws are bullshit. | |
| I mean, like, but I mean, like, I think this is the main thing that people need to, like, realize about this shit, is that what you want is for the drug crime sentences to go way down, not for the dumb crap that these idiots did to go up as they were. | |
| I'm torn. | |
| I'm very for, like, judicial reform, and I think our justice system is inexorably fucked and needs a massive overhaul, but I don't think eight months is enough for, if you break into the Capitol building while Congress is in session, With the intent of overthrowing the government, doesn't matter if you have a plan or not, I think you get more than eight months. | |
| I think you should. | |
| I think a year with no chance of parole. | |
| You have to do a solid year and think about what you did. | |
| The federal prosecutors asked for 18 months, so they asked for a year and a half. | |
| So they got about a half of what it was. | |
| He pleaded to one felony count of obstructing congressional proceedings. | |
| So that is, again, trying to disrupt the count of the certification electoral vote. | |
| That's basically what it was. | |
| So basically he was willing to take a deal and he rolled the dice. | |
| They were looking to give him a year and a half and he got three quarters of a year. | |
| So it looks like the federal prosecutors got a little less than what they wanted. | |
| I mean, he pleaded out and pleaded out. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And that's and I think that's like kind of what's going to happen with the vast majority of these people is that they're not going to have the resources to actually fight a federal case when a federal case could mean the big boy charges. | |
| So yeah, if he had if he had fucked around and found out he was going to get more than a year and a half. | |
| Yeah, like with the prosecutors asking for a year and a half. | |
| That, yeah, if he had fucked around and not pleaded, he was getting more than a year and a half. | |
| I guess he's lucky to get off with eight months. | |
| And I mean, I think they just want to start getting through all these, but it still pisses me off. | |
| Oh yeah. | |
| I mean, to me, on one side, and I've seen a bunch of QAnon people talking about, there was no crime. | |
| This is all bullshit. | |
| He just took the deal to avoid a trial. | |
| The system's corrupt. | |
| Actually, well, really... Oh yeah. | |
| Yeah, I agree. | |
| What was really funny, I actually saw a compare and contrast where they talked about Kevin Kleinsman, the lawyer who got jammed up by Durham and pled guilty and got community service. | |
| They were comparing Durham only getting, like, probation on that guy versus this guy getting eight months. | |
| And they even, like, put in their other, like, comments where, like, he's beaten every week by the guards. | |
| And it's like, uh, What? | |
| Where are you getting that from? | |
| Yeah, I kind of doubt that. | |
| They're trying to make eight months in a club fed sound like the Shawshank Redemption, like actual hell on earth. | |
| I kind of doubt that, bud. | |
| I mean, I think being in jail sucks. | |
| I mean, it sounds like the absolute worst thing on earth, but... | |
| The idea that there's a two-tiered justice system because some guy got caught up in this ridiculous right-wing witch hunt to find any bit of evidence to prove that Trump didn't collude with Russia versus a guy who was walking the halls of Congress after other people had broken down the windows and doors for him, after he stepped over Ashley Babbitt's body to get into... | |
| That's the people who I think are gonna get the big boy crimes. | |
| The people who they have on video with the hammers. | |
| Oh yeah, Baked Alaska, and The Shaman, and all those idiots. | |
| Yeah, the people that were punching cops, the people that were breaking stuff, the people that they can prove committed violent acts to get into the Capitol, they're the jamokes that are gonna get big boy jail time. | |
| So, you're from the Boston area. | |
| The worst thing in the world for you guys has to be being made fun of by Tom Brady, right? | |
| Oh, God. | |
| Our boy. | |
| The prodigal son. | |
| I'm proud of that segue. | |
| I'll stay by that one. | |
| Well, you should be. | |
| Our prodigal son. | |
| I mean, the thing that's really funny is up here, it's like... | |
| I'd say probably more like 65% of quote-unquote Patriot fans are actually Brady fans. | |
| And they're just cool with it. | |
| They're just, they're just like, I mean, we love Bill, but at the same time, it's like, fuck Bill for running Brady out of town. | |
| But at the same time, we know that Brady wasn't going to win another ring with this team in the way it was currently constituted. | |
| So whatever. | |
| Bah, bah, bah. | |
| You do the yin and the nah. | |
| Uh, we're glad that Brady got one in Tampa and good on him. | |
| So Brady, Now, I know that he dipped out on the second Super Bowl the Patriots won under the Trump regime, as it were. | |
| He didn't want the Burger King on silver platters? | |
| No, he didn't want the Burger King on the silver platters. | |
| Gisele told him it'd be bad for the brand for him to be there. | |
| He'd get a sunburn. | |
| Right. | |
| And this is the funny thing, is that, I mean, Brady was caught with a MAGA hat in his locker early in Trump's candidacy for president. | |
| So, and Bill Belichick is a known fan of Trump's, so it's like, guys, your politics are shit, so be better, scrubs. | |
| Trump at least knew for the brand, I mean, Brady knew at least for the brand to not be there for the second when they beat the Rams. | |
| He knew not to show up for that one. | |
| I don't know if he showed up for the one when they beat Atlanta or not, but it doesn't matter. | |
| What matters is that Brady showed up for the Biden presidency. | |
| He showed up for Biden and was at the press conference and was cracking jokes about Donald Trump's whining about losing to Biden. | |
| So that's exactly what happened. | |
| I was going to ask you for the exact story. | |
| I just saw Tom Brady made fun of Trump and I was like, well, that, that seems like a story. | |
| So basically, so, uh, Brady made like two political jokes. | |
| Like the first one was that he, uh, Forgot that it was fourth down in a game against Chicago in the middle of the season, and it was an incompletion. | |
| He's looking up at the ref like, fourth down. | |
| The ref's like, no idiot, that was fourth down. | |
| The Bears got the ball now, you lose. | |
| And Brady was like, I make one mistake, I forget one down in my 21-year career, and people start calling me Sleepy Tom. | |
| It's not fair, they're calling me old. | |
| Good one, good one. | |
| And Biden yucked it up with him. | |
| And then later on, at some point in his monologue, Brady said that in the middle of the season we were scuffling when everything wasn't going right for us. | |
| No one thought we were going to win it. | |
| And then we won it. | |
| And I still think like 40% of people didn't think we won the Super Bowl. | |
| And Biden was like, I know how you feel! | |
| I know how you feel! | |
| Waka waka! | |
| Yeah, waka waka! | |
| Brady sets Biden for the spike, and Biden just drives it over the net, right into the floor. | |
| That's a Sarge joke right there. | |
| That's a good one. | |
| The beach volleyball team of excellence, Brady and Biden, getting it done here. | |
| It was just really comical that that happened in that situation. | |
| I saw a fake write-up from the office of the former 45th president saying how unhappy he was with old Tommy. | |
| Oh yeah, I mean it's really funny that Brady not only shows up for Biden, but also mocks the QAnon party line, which is the Trump party line, which is why it's so dangerous, about like, he didn't really win, he cheated, bergaberg. | |
| And just the fact that you got, like, Brady, like, setting up Biden for dunks is just, like, so brutal. | |
| And QAnon are, of course, like, Brady, like, speaking the uncomfortable truth about what's going on! | |
| And it's like, no. | |
| Brady's mocking you guys. | |
| He's making fun of you. | |
| He's laughing at you. | |
| And he's laughing at you with the rest of us in reality world who are laughing at you. | |
| And the 40% thing is not 40% of Americans. | |
| It's 40% of Republicans. | |
| Those are the people that think this thing was stolen. | |
| And guess what? | |
| Republicans are not a lot... | |
| It's always this thing where we have like 33% Democrat, 33% Republican, 33% Independent in America and I think those like percentages are actually like skewing and like Independents becoming bigger and Republicans becoming smaller but uh so I don't really feel like When you have 40% of much less, it's even less. | |
| Hold on. | |
| Yeah, that math checks out. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you for verifying that for me. | |
| I mean, much as I had to type in 15 times 12 on my phone. | |
| 40% less of a percent is less. | |
| So you have this event that this is usually the exact kind of thing that kills Trump and it kills QAnon because they hate ridicule. | |
| They can't stomach being mocked because they're serious people who believe in a serious thing seriously. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So when you give them the razzle dazzle, they just can't. | |
| It breaks their brains. | |
| They just really hate handling that. | |
| Another thing they hate handling is getting banned from Twitter, which is what happened to Marjorie Taylor Greene! | |
| Yeah, it's in our show notes is MTG banned from Twitter. | |
| I don't care how long we do this. | |
| I don't care how long we are in this cesspit. | |
| Anytime I see MTG typed out, I will always think of Magic the Gathering before I think of Marjorie Taylor Greene. | |
| Oh yeah, she's ruined it. | |
| She's ruined the game. | |
| I mean, her and Planeswalkers have ruined that game. | |
| So, I mean, it's... Yes. | |
| So, she got a timeout. | |
| She didn't get actually completely nuked. | |
| She only got a 12-hour ban, which she will immediately fundraise off of once she gets back on Twitter. | |
| This is how this operates, and it's really, really dumb. | |
| And it's for vaccine misinformation, right? | |
| Not anything else she's done? | |
| for vaccine misinformation, right? | |
| Not anything else she's done. | |
| Yep, just vaccine misinformation. | |
| She's just lying about the vaccine some more because that's what these people do. | |
| They're dirt bags. | |
| And again, because we're just gonna rapid fire these headlines right now. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Speaking of misinformation and vaccines, Fox News is getting really weird about the vaccine. | |
| Like Tucky Tuck, our boy Tuck, he... | |
| He was a man of his word. | |
| Hey, I haven't said to not take the vaccine. | |
| I was just asking questions about it while interviewing people who have been quote-unquote murdered by the vaccine. | |
| He was the most still on the fence of the people on Fox about the vaccine. | |
| Hannity came out with a full-throated endorsement of the vaccine. | |
| Yeah, what do you think's going on? | |
| Do you think advertisers are finally, like, everyone except for MyPelo is like, yo, you guys need to stop pooping the vaccine? | |
| Some people are thinking that it might have to do with the stock market tanking because of the Delta variant and just kind of everyone getting weirded out and concerned that like, hey man, when you start fucking with the oligarchs bottom line, when you start actually Putting our shareholders quarterly earnings at risk. | |
| That's when we get that's when people start getting really worried about this stuff. | |
| That's when people start asking, Hey, Bob, what are we doing here? | |
| What's going on? | |
| And um, what's really funny is, um, The Hannity, full-throated, take the vaccine thing came... I read about this. | |
| It was weird. | |
| Yeah, it came after he was criticizing a university for mandatory vaccines. | |
| And then after he did this, he interviewed a woman who lost feeling in her legs for a month in 2019 after taking a different kind of vaccine. | |
| So he was still bullshitting this stuff even after he gave his... Look, guys, get the vaccine. | |
| Come on, come on, come on, come on. | |
| Yeah, I read about the Hannity one. | |
| I read the transcript and it is weird. | |
| It's just what he sandwiched it between two. | |
| This, I don't know, this has to be coming down from way on high and just like, you guys need to stop fucking around. | |
| Right. | |
| I mean, this is like, this is like literally, um, Governor DeSantis came out today in a press conference and said, quote, these vaccines are saving lives! | |
| Ah, DeSantis! | |
| I missed that! | |
| DeSantis! | |
| DeSantis! | |
| This is breaking news! | |
| We're literally like 45 minutes into this podcast right now, or at some point. | |
| You can see the timestamp of what you're watching. | |
| But this is a tweet that I'm reading that was from somebody 46 minutes ago. | |
| So DeSantis was talking either right before we started recording or during. | |
| But DeSantis, the guy they want to replace Trump with, their boy DeSantis, is saying, yo, motherfuckers, get vaccinated. | |
| Do this. | |
| Someone had to be like, sir. | |
| Governor, we know you're a huge shipwreck, but stay with me here. | |
| We're Florida. | |
| Almost all of our income is from tourism. | |
| If people don't get the vaccine, we're gonna go into another lockdown. | |
| You have to come out for the vaccine. | |
| I bet the mouse got to him. | |
| I don't doubt that Disney put the call to him. | |
| It was like, guess what? | |
| This may not be public knowledge, but to be an employee at Disney World, you have to get vaccinated. | |
| All of our properties, you have to be vaccinated. | |
| So you are going to fucking tell people to start vaccinating people because if our tourist attractions Have a dip in it. | |
| Last year was fucking murderous. | |
| Last year was no bueno. | |
| If this year looks like last year, then you're gonna have a very well-funded Democrat opponent in the general election coming up in 2022. | |
| Rest assured. | |
| Oh, guess who is your opponent in 2022 if you don't fucking square this ship? | |
| The Rock. | |
| We're gonna get the fucking Rock down here. | |
| How do you like the sound of Governor Rock? | |
| Because that's what's coming, motherfucker! | |
| If you don't get this shit under control, Dwayne Johnson is going to be the new governor of Florida. | |
| Yeah, I put on my tinfoil mouse ears and just like, just like, yeah, I really feel like the mouse and a bunch of other tourism was just like, hey, quit fucking around. | |
| And get people vaccinated. | |
| Just, like, it's so easy. | |
| It is baffling to me. | |
| Like, I just walked into Walmart, like, a week ago, and they're like, do you want the vaccine? | |
| You can have it again. | |
| And I'm like, what? | |
| Missouri's having a real problem, too. | |
| With, like, in Southern Missouri with people not getting vaccinated. | |
| Yeah, I believe, I'm gonna quietly type this in, but I believe that Florida has an unbelievable percentage of COVID deaths that are the recent deaths because Florida is just fucking around with this shit. | |
| So yeah, Florida death rates by state. | |
| Yeah, so there's yeah, this this statistics that I just gained here are not good. | |
| So equality podcasting for you. | |
| But I've I had, I had read that like something along the lines of like 20% of all recent Deaths in America had come from Florida, which is something to take up a massive grain of salt. | |
| I'm not here to promote Alex Jones like fear-mongering, and if you bring me the evidence, I will immediately retract. | |
| Yeah, I will retract and correct so fast. | |
| The Sargent's Correction Corner will feature Mike Rains next week, as I apologize profusely for bricking that. | |
| But this is the thing, is that Florida is one of these states that lags in vaccinations. And it's just one of these | |
| things where you can just see America, by state is, Florida is, okay, so the people that are | |
| really bad are the southern states above Florida... Yeah, all the states... that's real great when you have shit vaccination rates and all the states bordering yours have shit vaccination rates. | |
| That's not a good combo. | |
| I mean, it's kind of horrifying because Florida actually, correction, Florida's getting into the ballpark of a good vaccination rate, but they need more. | |
| So actually, the thing is, is that when you look at New England, you look at the gold standard. | |
| Because Massachusetts, my beloved Commonwealth, 71%. | |
| New Hampshire, which is the weird libertarian resort we have, is still at 63%. | |
| Vermont, 74%. | |
| Tip of the cap to you guys. | |
| Connecticut and Rhode Island, both 68%. | |
| You get to Florida, and Florida's a darker shade, which makes you think they're doing great, but they're still only at 55%. | |
| Then you go to Georgia, Alabama. | |
| Georgia and Alabama, 45-41. | |
| Alabama, Georgia and Alabama 45, 41. | |
| You get the Mississippi 37. | |
| Ooh, Louisiana 40. | |
| I mean, so that's the thing, is that like, in a section of America that is a bunch of Fs, Florida is a solid D+. | |
| So that's, I think that's really why Florida pops so bad on that map, because they're over 50% and the states around them are absolute dumpster fires. | |
| Yeah, Texas is at 49%, which is a lot better than I would have thought for Texas. | |
| So I mean, it's like, and again, it, I mean, it aggressively tracks the states that are terrible are red states. | |
| I mean, what's Missouri at? | |
| Missouri, Missouri is 40. | |
| You're about to hit 47%. | |
| You're 46.9. | |
| Yeah, if you could see a, if you could do a breakdown by county, you'd see Kansas City and St. | |
| Louis, like, real high, and then basically, and St., and Jeff City, the capital, probably doing all right. | |
| Yeah. | |
| But you get down towards the south, just real red, real bad. | |
| The Delta variant's hitting very strong there. | |
| Uh, not to get too deep into the weeds for you cats and kittens, but I was reading somewhere that where the Delta variant, because originally COVID was somewhere around what they call an R of three, which meant if you got COVID, you were likely to transmit it to three other people. | |
| So that was like, and like a flu is like 1.3, which is why the flu isn't as contagious and dangerous as COVID. | |
| The reports right now that we have are that the Delta variant has an R of 7. | |
| It's over double as contagious as regular COVID. | |
| So that's why this shit is so... | |
| I'm not worried about our listeners, except for the people that are hate-listening. | |
| Listen up, you fuckin' jamokes. | |
| The mutation comes from repeated infection. | |
| If you're vaccinated, you don't get infected and you don't spread it, and there's less mutation. | |
| Yeah, the vaccines have proven to inhibit both contracting it and transmitting it. | |
| And when you do contract it, which will happen because these are not perfect vaccines, you are still vulnerable to contracting it, you will not be hospitalized or die. | |
| DeSantis, in his press conference, where he's telling people to take the vaccine, said that 95% of all hospitalizations in Florida right now are from unvaccinated people. | |
| So, yeah, the Delta variant has overwhelmed the hospitals in | |
| southern Missouri. | |
| It's Yeah, yeah. And that's that's what's going to happen. | |
| I mean, all the idiot QAnon people who are like, ah, I believe in herd immunity. | |
| Guess what? | |
| You're going to get herd immunity one way or the other, either by mass vaccination, making it so we don't contract it or transmit it. | |
| And then if we do catch it, it's just the sniffles or by you all going through the fire of catching this and rolling the dice on not only dying, but lung COVID, heart inflammation, all kinds of lung problems, brain fog, Yeah, they've all volunteered to be the control group, and their children, which is the sad part. | |
| Yeah, I mean, like, the people that get long COVID are fucked up by it. | |
| It's really bad. | |
| I mean, this is the thing that's, like, so infuriating about all these clowns, like, posting stuff about, like, 99.5% survival rate or 99.7% or whatever. | |
| It doesn't matter. | |
| There's still a lot of people dying, which sucks, because you can game out stats any way you want to make something look bad or look not bad. | |
| But you're still dealing with people dying. | |
| You're not factoring in the people that are debilitated for a year or longer. | |
| This could lead to permanent health problems. | |
| Your beloved World before Obamacare and pre existing conditions. | |
| Guess what? | |
| Everyone who ever got COVID could be denied health insurance under those under those other ideas. | |
| Because COVID would be a pre existing condition. | |
| Oh, you had COVID? | |
| Guess what? | |
| That means your your fucking health insurance goes through the roof. | |
| We got to cover you. | |
| Because there's all kinds of fucking shit we don't know about that COVID could have damaged you with that could come up down the line as being a problem. | |
| So I mean, it is It's so ridiculously... It's so frustrating. | |
| I don't even know where to start. | |
| Right. | |
| It's just this idea that the vaccine is worse than the disease is preposterous. | |
| It's not true. | |
| Um, you're just, you're just literally risking your life for no reason, except to quote unquote, own the libs or just scream and yell. | |
| And these people are going, this is the one thing that I had said for the longest time. | |
| About QAnon was that QAnon was going to have one of two breaking points with reality. | |
| Point one that was possible was Trump losing the election. | |
| And that happened, and they got through it as well as they could. | |
| I do believe that they shed people. | |
| There are plenty of major QAnon promoters before the election that I don't see after the election. | |
| Like there are just people that were like, you know what? | |
| It was fun owning the libs when Trump was president, but now without, | |
| without the orange dot. | |
| We talked about that. | |
| I mean, it's all a cult of personality built around Trump, and they've lost him. | |
| He's been deplatformed and sidelined, and we were always going to lose some people. | |
| We all called the ball on that one. | |
| Right. | |
| But I mean, it's like Julian's Rum, who was a big QAnon promoter, one day he just posted something like, hey guys, got a new puppy, taking up a lot of my time. | |
| That's it. | |
| Shut up! | |
| Shut up! | |
| I got a new dog, too busy to be a cultist? | |
| Yeah, that was it. | |
| That was Julian's dip out. | |
| That is incredible. | |
| That is the best thing I've heard all episode. | |
| April 19th, he posted on Telegram, still here, sorry for the silence, been busier than a three-peckered goat. | |
| That said, taking a short respite from the world's perpetual retardation was nice. | |
| And then that was at 11.25 PM on the 29th. | |
| 25pm on the 29th. And then six minutes later, he he reposted, for those asking, my little pupper is doing | |
| just fine, but he's also a four-legged shitstorm that's been occupying most of my time. | |
| Oh yeah, I know. | |
| And that was it. | |
| My puppy means more to me than saving the world from the cabal of blood-drinking pedophiles. | |
| So that was it. | |
| That was his... | |
| That was his au revoir from the movement. | |
| Joe M, the maker of QAnon, the plan to save the world and all that stuff. | |
| Joe posts maybe once every two months. | |
| His last post was the complaint that the Telegram channel using his name isn't his and he's not operating it. | |
| Amazing. | |
| I don't know that he left so much about Biden winning, but he left because he got doxxed and was revealed to be an anti-Semitic chiropractor named Craig. | |
| And he just called it a day at that point. | |
| That's a sentence. | |
| That's a brand new sentence that has never been uttered in the world before. | |
| Right. | |
| So, I mean, like there are guys that were like big time QAnon promoters who just kind of had the wind knocked out of their sails by Trump losing. | |
| But the other thing that I always thought was going to be a big breaking point for these people was Trump wins reelection, but then pushes for the vaccine, which was inevitably like something that was going to happen if he was the guy in office. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| He was going to have so many people breathing down his neck. | |
| Oh, I mean, he was going to roll the vaccine out incompetently. | |
| I mean, as the Biden administration said, when Biden walked into the Oval Office... He inherited no plan. | |
| Right. | |
| When he walked into the Oval's office at four o'clock on the 20th, he's like, OK, so where's the distribution of the vaccine plan? | |
| And they're like, what are you talking about, boss? | |
| Project Warp Speed. | |
| Yeah, but Project Warp Speed was to get the vaccine done. | |
| We had no way to distribute it. | |
| We had no way to actually get this vaccine from the people who made it into the arms of the people who need it. | |
| We didn't bridge that gap. | |
| So, I mean, Trump would have eventually, the rollout would have been a disaster, it would have been far slower, but he would have been the public face of it, urging everyone to get the vaccine. | |
| He would have been this, he would have been the pitch man, and that would have driven QAnon up a wall. | |
| I think In a lot of ways. | |
| You're not wrong. | |
| I keep nodding and this is a podcast. | |
| Right. | |
| But I mean, I just think that like it actually in a lot of ways would have damaged QAnon more had Trump won and been a vaccine pitch man than Trump losing and being able to kind of like sideline the issue for himself personally. | |
| I mean, he made a post recently where he's like, my beautiful vaccine that I created with Operation Warp Speed is having people not trust taking it because of the election fraud and the disreputable Biden administration. | |
| And your cat is on Trump's side on this issue. | |
| Go cat! | |
| But I just think that like, man, that cat really loves Trump. | |
| Oh, she's got terrible politics. | |
| Yes. Yes. So, uh, your cat and Celine will one day engage in a | |
| ruckus and yeah, right, exactly. But, uh, the I just think that | |
| like, it would have been much worse for America if Trump had | |
| I mean, democracy may have ended and we may have destroyed the republic, but the dumb cult of QAnon would have had this weird breakpoint where their beloved orange daddy was telling them to put the needle in their arm and he was on television every day saying to do it. | |
| And they would have broke their little brains. | |
| They would have never been able to tolerate that. | |
| So in a lot of ways, it's the best of both worlds for us and them. | |
| We got a competent administration competently administering the vaccine, and their orange daddy didn't have to be the front man for the vaccine distribution system. | |
| But I mean, McConnell came out saying to get the shot. | |
| We had the DeSantis getting the shot thing today. | |
| It's going to be really funny in 2024 when... Because the thing is, at that point, Trump is going to have to be pro-vaccine and in front of the cameras when he's running for president again. | |
| So, they're going to be shut out. | |
| They're not going to have a voice in the 2024 campaign that's anti-vaccination. | |
| That just won't exist. | |
| There's going to be no candidate that's going to get any traction that's going to be their boy in this thing. | |
| Marjorie Taylor Greene isn't going to win the nomination. | |
| Here's God's mocking laughter realizes he really fucked up. | |
| Yeah, I don't know. | |
| I mean, like, what are the chances? | |
| She probably gets primaried, right? | |
| That'd be very interesting to see what happens with her. | |
| But one thing that was really funny, and we'll move to the listener questions after this, was I actually saw some some person on Gab who was like freaking out was talking about like Kamala Harris and of course the whole thing that she's Biden's gonna resign to let her get in there to for the deep state to really enact their plans and they were just like | |
| Oh, no, it wasn't Harris. | |
| It was Naomi. | |
| It was the governor of South Dakota who was taking shots at DeSantis about, like, I never closed down South Dakota, unlike DeSantis, who did close down the beaches in Florida. | |
| I'm the true no lockdown candidate. | |
| And this person on Gab was like, no female presidents. | |
| And I was just like, wow, that is a line in the sand to draw. | |
| To be like, you know what? | |
| Female president? | |
| No bueno. | |
| Not allowing it. | |
| Not gonna happen. | |
| We're voting for the guy with the penis no matter what. | |
| Don't care. | |
| Just even if he's pro-lockdown or whatever, our misogyny trumps vaccination. | |
| I would love to see South Dakota's tourist numbers versus Florida's in terms of what they bring in for their state's bottom line. | |
| And I'm here to tell you, it is not going to be even fucking close. | |
| Oh, God, no. | |
| I mean, Florida closed out South Dakota. | |
| Yeah. | |
| For what the maybe like I'm trying to think of a real number, but it doesn't matter. | |
| Like, the 50 people that go to South Dakota for tourism. | |
| What, like Sturgis? | |
| You didn't close down Sturgis, which was a huge COVID-spreading event? | |
| It's Mount Rushmore, I believe. | |
| That's all they got, right? | |
| It's Mount Rushmore and Sturgis, the end. | |
| They're nothing compared to Disney World. | |
| Disney World probably gets more people in a day than they get in a month, I mean. | |
| Yeah. | |
| But yeah, so that's, that was just the craziest hill to die on I ever heard. | |
| Just, no, no lady. | |
| We won't let lady people be president. | |
| And I'm just wondering, like, does that level of misogyny even trump like full blown QAnonism? | |
| If like the last two standing were like, some milquetoast squish like Mitt Romney and Marjorie Taylor Greene, would this person be like, fuck it, going Romney. | |
| Womp womp. | |
| I just wonder, where does that person break down and be like, okay, this woman is crazy enough and the man is not crazy enough. | |
| I'm willing to vote ladies. | |
| I just want to know what the crazy to female paradigm is. | |
| Is it a hard and fast 100%? | |
| No, ladies. | |
| Our listeners got questions, we got answers. | |
| Give me those listener questions. | |
| So in order to give you the listener questions, I gotta give you the listener bump first. | |
| Our listeners got questions, we got answers. | |
| It's time for Q&A. | |
| So our first question is from Will Comer, who is also our newest beautiful baby. | |
| Thank you so much, Will, for supporting the pod. | |
| And also, Will said that he was listening to the Kabalin stories and he was loving it. | |
| So I'm very grateful for that. | |
| Will asks, is there any diversity in the Q Grifter world that seems like they are all white or some combination thereof? | |
| Join your Patreon today to listen to Luke Amal's hearings. | |
| Very nice. | |
| Way to step on the endorsement, Mike. | |
| But yes. | |
| I mean, you have Ron Watkins, who Jim is obviously white and his mother was and Ron's mother was obviously Asian. | |
| But I mean, I have not seen a black QAnon supporter. | |
| We don't have the Candace Owens of QAnon as it were, that I know of. | |
| They don't have That sort of, I mean, this is a very loaded and offensive word, but they don't have token representation. | |
| They don't have someone that can point out and say, we're not a racist movement. | |
| Look at this person. | |
| And this is the thing is that they love talking about how not racist they are and how QAnon is an all inclusive, Yeah, because Joe M., white dude. | |
| that are just patriots who love America, and at the same time they support Ghost Ezra and | |
| all the rest of this crap. I mean, it's just, it's lying is basically all it comes down | |
| to. They just lie about who they are and what they support. | |
| Yeah, because Joe M, white dude, a major patriot, white dude. | |
| Oh, by the by, I actually had someone send me a photo of a major patriot. | |
| Oh, what? | |
| I wanted to see if this ever leaks out to Major Patriot and freaks him out. | |
| Someone sent me a photo of him. | |
| Him calling me a tub of guts. | |
| Pot calling the kettle black there, buddy. | |
| Yeah, what a surprise! | |
| I have to go find my surprise hat and put it on. | |
| Yeah, I will admit I probably have a few pounds on the man, but yeah, not too shocking, not too shocking. | |
| And I mean, he, at one point, in one of his dumb anti-mask tirades, he claimed to be 80% disabled and on VA benefits, which, if you're that banged up, I mean, Jesus, man, I mean, just like... | |
| Maybe don't go to the grocery store if you're on Death's Door already. | |
| That was the height of the pandemic when he was complaining about masks. | |
| Right. | |
| You gotta be kidding me. | |
| So, no, there is no diversity in the Q Grifter world except for the guy who is Q! | |
| And that's why he gets a mulligan on it, because he's allowed to be whatever race he wants. | |
| He was the wizard behind the curtain. | |
| He was Oz. | |
| So, yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| The original, uh, the original, uh, cue was Paul Ferber, who was a South African white dude. | |
| I still do not understand that. | |
| I don't understand him and I don't understand Janet and their obsession with American politics. | |
| Like I know it affects a lot more of the world than America, but it's still American politics and they're not American and do not live in America. | |
| Neither one of them. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Chairman Walkman asks, one of his very good Chairman Walkman questions is, you have a chance to bring any historical figure to the present, you have to hang out with them for a week, who would you want to deal with? | |
| I think I mean like everyone just like picks Lincoln or some like big name kind of person. | |
| I think to me like my niche person would probably be along the lines of like Stu Unger like some like old school poker player who was just like an absolute genius back in his day and just like pick his brain on like how he saw the game and how he understood it because that guy was just And they said that what about him was like, not only was he a good poker player, but he was like 10 times better at rummy. | |
| He would like, as bad as he would crush you at poker, he would destroy you at rummy. | |
| Rummy, really? | |
| Yeah, like, it was like, he would like look at his cards and almost instinctively know what your cards were and just like never give you them and just like, just choke you out. | |
| Like he was just, he was just an animal. | |
| So I would love that. | |
| And my cop-out historical answer would probably be LBJ because I'd be like, bro, Vietnam. | |
| What the fuck, bro? | |
| You were there. | |
| You were, like, top 10% of all presidents all time with your domestic agenda. | |
| You were a titan and you bricked it for this dumb war in Vietnam. | |
| What the fuck? | |
| Like, how did you let them con you into the Gulf of Tonkin? | |
| Like, seriously, man. | |
| Like, God. | |
| It is it's like really amazing like how like the the narrative of what LBJ was like the rewatching the movie JFK like really blew my mind because You look at what that movie frames Lyndon Johnson as, and it's like, holy shit! | |
| Because Lyndon Johnson, like, literally, in his speech to Congress after Kennedy died, like, Kennedy dies, like, the 22nd, I think, like, on the 24th, or, like, right after, but, like, a few days after, Lyndon Johnson gives his, like, first address to Congress as president, and he's just, like, The first thing you motherfuckers need to do is to pass JFK's Civil Rights Bill. | |
| Like, honor his legacy by doing it. | |
| He gruesomely politicizes Kennedy's death to try to pass the Civil Rights Bill. | |
| And then, through all kinds of, like, arm-twisting and flim-flamming and parliamentary bullshit, they get that bill passed. | |
| And it's just like... | |
| And then he passes Medicare, Medicaid, the Voting Rights Act, like all of this crazy domestic policy shit. | |
| You know, when you get a prescription bottle from the pharmacy and it has that weird little twisty top? | |
| That was because a congressman told Lyndon Johnson his kid got into his pills and fucked himself up with it. | |
| And Lyndon Johnson was like, we need to make sure the kids can't do that. | |
| We need to fix that. | |
| I mean, that's why we have the safety seals. | |
| Like, they don't fix anything until it breaks. | |
| That's why we have the, because of the the Tylenol attacks, | |
| the Tylenol poisonings. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, like, I mean, | |
| like the amount of good work that Lyndon Johnson did as president is | |
| incredible. But he was run out or he would have literally won reelection | |
| easily in 68. If he had not fucked up Vietnam, he fucked up Vietnam so | |
| badly that he is the last sitting president in American history not to | |
| run for reelection. He was like, you know what I fucked up so badly. I | |
| can't win reelection. Oh, I didn't know he didn't even run. He didn't | |
| even run in 1968. He was being primaried. And | |
| And after Bobby Kennedy was thinking of running, I can't remember the guy that was already running against him, but Lyndon just looked at the polls, looked at the situation, was like, look, I fucked this up so bad that I'm not running. | |
| If nominated by my party, I will refuse it. | |
| Like, I'm out. | |
| I'm done. | |
| I had the last year of Kennedy's term after he got shot. | |
| I had my own four that I won after I beat Goldwater. | |
| I've had my five. | |
| I'm out. | |
| I'm done. | |
| LBJ out. | |
| Drops mic. | |
| LBJ out. | |
| So, I mean, like, it is really incredible that a guy who did so much incredible good work Just destroyed his presidency and his legacy through Vietnam. | |
| And it's like, I would just love to be like, yo dude, the Chairman Walkman's question didn't do this for me, but we're gonna do some like Terminator time travel shit here where I kind of tell you don't buy into the Vietnam hype and get out of there as fast as fucking possible. | |
| Ugh. | |
| and you thread that needle any way you can and boom, your presidency will go up | |
| Whatever. | |
| exponentially. And we might not even get President Nixon. | |
| We might not even have Watergate, which is, which destroys America's faith in our | |
| governance, like basically forever at that point. | |
| I'm trying to think of my answers for this. | |
| And probably Ansel Adams. | |
| He is just one of the most famous photographers ever. | |
| And from everything I've read, he was an amazing photographer | |
| and a genius and invented a bunch of what photography is today. | |
| Terrible father, great photographer. | |
| And he would just look at anyone's portfolio. | |
| But once it hit two o'clock, the gin was coming out and he was having a drink. | |
| If you were with him at two o'clock, it did not matter what was happening. | |
| He was getting a drink. | |
| It was drinking time. | |
| So not a great father and probably an alcoholic, but damn, was he good at photography. | |
| Yeah, oh yeah, no, amazing. | |
| And I guess, like, just rad to hang out with. | |
| Maybe Jack Kirby, too, because, like, that guy just, if there's a superhero you like right now, he invented the look of it. | |
| Yep. | |
| Probably. | |
| Yeah, Kirby's the Beasleys and the Cat's Pajamas. | |
| Yeah, so... | |
| Shit like that. | |
| I don't have anything like LBJ. | |
| I don't know if I could hang with LBJ. | |
| That dude was a hard-drinkin' dick-talker. | |
| Loved talking about his dick. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| Oh. | |
| Like, there's two movies about LBJ that came out at the same time. | |
| All the way, the HBO one, and then the actual cinema one that was called LBJ. | |
| And it's kind of a rule in those movies, because the transcript of his talking to his tailor came out, that you have to have him talking to his tailor about his massive nutsack and penis, and that he needs his slacks specially tailored for these purposes. | |
| Yeah, that dude was raunchy. | |
| Yes. | |
| Existential Dreadlocks, our comos from last week, doesn't have a question so much as a suggestion, which is that at some point we're going to have to do a caballing type thing with loose change, which is inevitable. | |
| I don't know if we're going to actually do it as a three-man, but me as a 9-11 truther, basically that's the one deal. | |
| Former 9-11 truther. | |
| Very important detail. | |
| We're not going to edit anything in this in this podcast. | |
| We don't. | |
| We rarely edit anything, but like we're going to have to go back in and like have me go like former. | |
| Isolate that. | |
| Yeah, yeah, exactly. | |
| Me as me having that history like that is much like why I reviewed the movie JFK and my Flawless Deeds series was like that was like a thing where like I had to look at this through the fresh lens of someone who isn't like knee deep in the bullshit and wow JFK didn't hold up. | |
| Holy shit. | |
| And that's not surprising. | |
| Loose change is probably going to make me like I'm probably gonna have to start like a GoFundMe for my new monitor. | |
| Is that Alex Jones's? | |
| I don't I think Alex Jones may have produced it, but I don't think he like stars. | |
| I saw it back in the day. | |
| I don't think he stars in it. | |
| I don't think he has a major part in it. | |
| It's more just like the 9-11 Truth group that was outside of Alex that was doing their thing. | |
| And they kept constantly updating Loose Change, as she mentions in this post. | |
| There's a lot of like, 7th Edition, Loose Change, with even more quarters! | |
| I mean, it's like, whatever. | |
| So I'll go down some amount of that rabbit hole with you. | |
| It sounds like it's just so depressing and infuriating. | |
| Oh, I mean, it's going to be the whole jet fuel can't melt steel beams bullshit. | |
| I mean, it's going to be like that kind of crap. | |
| But the only thing I'll say is that it might. | |
| I mean, we're going to have to, like, do something once we finish Fall Cabal. | |
| I mean, we're in part seven. | |
| That's ten parts. | |
| We still got plenty of time. | |
| But Because Out of Shadows is kind of like Pizzagate-y, so it's kind of treading the same topic. | |
| So I don't know if we go Loose Change as a change of pace. | |
| What do we do? | |
| But we'll figure it out. | |
| I mean, this is stuff more for behind the curtain. | |
| Wine Cooler replied to Action Zones Redlocks and said that they became a flight attendant because of Loose Change and 9-11 against Viruses, which is wild. | |
| That is a thing to say. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Old McWatkins, the greatest avatar of our common questioners, asks, Ghost Ezra, Joe M., and Beer at the Parade all need a new kidney, and you are the only viable donor. | |
| Would you give up a kidney for one of them, and who and why? | |
| The only person I would give a kidney for is Beer, because he's just a dumb idiot. | |
| I mean, he's not great. | |
| Of the three of them, they're all monsters, but Beer is the smallest of the monsters. | |
| Let him rot. | |
| Let him rot. | |
| Yeah, I mean, now that I think of it, like, I mean, honestly, like going into the question, I was like, I'd give a beer a kidney. | |
| Then I remembered beer was like, here's the red pilling guide. | |
| Here's how I use it to manipulate people. | |
| And I was like, Oh, right. | |
| He's still a monster. | |
| So no, beer does not get my kidney. | |
| I mean, let them all rot. | |
| Yeah, like, just, uh, I mean, Ghost Hester and Joe M are hard passes both ways. | |
| Beer... I mean, I, I, basically, I mean, it would basically be one of those things where, like, Beer would have to have, like, a real heart-to-heart with me and explain to me what's going on. | |
| He would have to clear a very high bar. | |
| I mean, that's all I could say, is, like, because, like, I would probably give a kidney to PepeLivesMatter because I think Pepe's just a weird person who's alone in the world in a drift. | |
| And they stumbled into this weird level of popularity and internet fame by being like, I'm a QAnon mascot person! | |
| I love QAnon! | |
| So like, that might feel bad for like, I mean, I just I've never seen Pepe like actually post a here's how to manipulate people kind of thing, which I'm sure they've probably done. | |
| I've missed it. | |
| And once people like talked me off the cliff, I wouldn't give Pepe my kidney anyways. | |
| But I mean, a lot of these people feel like they're just kind of, like, what you would call a post-turtle. | |
| Like a turtle's on top of a fence post. | |
| How the fuck did he get here? | |
| I mean, it's like, oh shit, that must have been one hell of a storm to get that turtle up there. | |
| And then you pick the turtle up and you put him down and he goes back to his normal life of being a turtle. | |
| He's no longer a Holocaust-questioning shitbag. | |
| But yeah, Beer is not a person who's just sort of like riding the wave. | |
| He's trying to grow the wave, just not on the level of Ghost Ezra or Joe M. And sorry, if you're a monster, you're still a monster. | |
| Yeah, like, I hate these kind of questions. | |
| There's no right answer here. | |
| They're all, they're all dumb idiots and mo- but like, they ruin lives. | |
| And I like, I don't know if it's, yeah, we all die. | |
| We all died down here. | |
| Yeah, there was a post on QAnon Casualties, which I believe to be authentic, I haven't talked to the moderating team about it yet, but it came out like a day or two ago, where a high schooler who survived the Parkland shooting, they were on campus when the shooting happened, Uh, I forget if it's their, I think it's their father. | |
| It's either their father or their grandfather, but basically a parental unit in their family now believes they're in on the hoax and that it didn't happen. | |
| And it's like, Oh my God. | |
| Can you imagine dealing with that shit? | |
| That you were there, you were part of the shooting that happened. | |
| And now you have a family member who's like, you're full of shit. | |
| You're making that up. | |
| You're just promoting the lie of the deep state. | |
| It's like, Oh my God. | |
| Like the, Brain poisoning this shit does to people. | |
| Yeah. | |
| It's just so egregious. | |
| And it's like, um, and like, you just have to like, man, I actually can't deal with this family member literally anymore. | |
| Period. | |
| Cause they're so far gone. | |
| They think I'm a bad guy. | |
| Cause I was on the site of a mass shooting. | |
| I mean, it's just like, oh my God. | |
| It's baffling. | |
| I almost had that happen with some of my own extended family. | |
| But I'm going to be L. I'm going to steer us out. | |
| But, you know, before we go into the end part, the end times here, what are you looking forward to in this upcoming week, Mike? | |
| I'm looking forward to finishing the last question of the day, which was Ron N asking... I stepped right over it. | |
| Did you address already the embrace of the New World Order conspiracy by the community? | |
| If not, that is worth a few words. | |
| QAnon is a rebranding of the New World Order. | |
| That is absolute reskin. | |
| It's the same thing. | |
| But now that Trump has lost, we're going back to the New World Order. | |
| Like, honestly, as more and more time passes, Trump and Q will go from being more and more infallible To just heroes fighting a monolith they were never going to beat. | |
| That's the way the story will change and progress. | |
| They are going to change the story from being, we were going to win, to we could never win, but by God did Trump and Q fight the good fight for us. | |
| They're going to go whole Camelot on us and King Arthur and all this stuff, but in the end, the bad guys always triumph because the world is a dark place. | |
| That's just the way they're going to spin it. | |
| That's the sell job. | |
| That's what they're going to hit you with. | |
| So now that we've done that, what am I looking forward to? | |
| I'm kind of looking forward to the fact that I have been just... | |
| Running around, working a lot recently, and now kind of all the distractions are melting away from me when it comes to writing my QAnon book. | |
| Nice. | |
| And all that kind of stuff. | |
| Sportsball is now dead to me until football starts up again, because the Lightning won the Stanley Cup, the Milwaukee Bucks won the title last night in the basketballs. | |
| And so now, I mean, you would have to pay me to watch regular season baseball of my own religion. | |
| The chefs are reporting to camp any day now. | |
| Yeah, I mean, that's it. | |
| All I get is NFL training camp talk, but I don't watch that. | |
| I just read reports on it at night. | |
| So it's like, I can just work on actually not being distracted by nonsense. And this | |
| is like the real quiet period of time. So my life is going to be | |
| like 50% writing the book and 50% broke book. And that's pretty much what I'll be doing. What I'll be doing my | |
| downtime. | |
| What are you looking forward to good sir? | |
| I am required by law to go see the snake guy the GI Joe Snake Eyes movie. | |
| I have a tattoo from Snake Eyes on my arm. | |
| I'm actively excited about a G.I. | |
| Joe movie because it's, I don't want to say it's getting good reviews, but it is getting reviews saying it's a lot of fun because they drop a bunch of the G.I. | |
| Joe and it's just about That ninja you liked as a kid fighting other ninjas and I'm just like, I am. | |
| I'm in. | |
| I'm here for that. | |
| I have a G.I. | |
| Joe tattoo. | |
| I collect G.I. | |
| Joes. | |
| So I'm actively excited for the new G.I. | |
| Joe movie. | |
| And which is a kind of surprising thing to say, but I'm also just happy. | |
| I'm excited. | |
| I'm looking forward to getting back to the movies, and I've been to one or two since the vaccine's come out, but we're getting into the thick of it now, so I'm kind of excited. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And yeah, that's my big thing. | |
| We'll probably talk about that on, binge-wording on the other pod, if you guys, if y'all are interested. | |
| I don't have all the outros memorized, so I'm gonna kick it back over to you. | |
| Okay, so I am glad to steer the ship ashore, as it were. | |
| Hopefully we will manage to find El and complete a madcap Ocean's 11 style caper, deliberate and save him. | |
| Last spotted in Guatemala. | |
| Yes, exactly. | |
| If I had some Guatemalan ease to say my beautiful babies, I would do that. | |
| I don't have that ability, nor will I attempt it for fear of being cancelled. | |
| But if you are liking what you're hearing from me and Sarge, and hopefully next week El, please give us a five star review on iTunes and all that other good stuff. | |
| On SoundCloud, we We get like 700 or so listens a week, and we get like eight likes. | |
| It's really odd. | |
| So I have no idea if that button does anything for us, but hit it. | |
| Just punch that button in the head once or twice. | |
| Let's see if it affects any SoundCloud algorithms, as it were. | |
| But if you don't do that, don't worry about it. | |
| Still just listen, tell a friend, tell a neighbor. | |
| Vandalize property. | |
| No, don't vandalize property. | |
| Just do things to get the good word out about us. | |
| If you really enjoy what you're hearing and you have some cold hard cash to part ways with, go to patreon.com slash PokerPolitics. | |
| And if you put $5 or more a month into our tip cup, we will give you access to our bonus content, which at the moment features the Kabbalan series, which is ongoing. | |
| And we'll continue to go as we are now into part 7 of that 10 part nightmare that Janet Oh created. | |
| The next couple episodes, or at least the next episode, is going to be incredibly dark and miserable. | |
| So we're going to have to put an additional warning on top of the warnings that we put on top of warnings for that thing. | |
| That's neither here nor there. | |
| That's happening. | |
| I have completed the Foulest Deeds series, which was going into the JFK assassination, culminating in a massive and incredibly long-winded breakdown of the movie JFK, which, by the way, is terrible and full of factual inaccuracies. | |
| Just imagine in the year 2021, there was a movie about Lin Wood and Sidney Powell's courageous attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. | |
| And they had A-list actors and an A-list director running that movie. | |
| That is what JFK is. | |
| It is unbelievable horse shit. | |
| And the fact that it was a Hollywood blockbuster that got Oscar nominations makes my brain melt in rage. | |
| But anyways, that all is going on and I started my heretofore untitled U.S. | |
| history bonus podcast. | |
| I went over the Battle of Saratoga and how Benedict Arnold, if he had only found the right time to die, probably would have been one of America's greatest heroes. | |
| But that colossal dum-dum lived through that battle and then committed treason. | |
| Oopsie doopsies! | |
| Did you talk about the monument to just his leg? | |
| I did not talk about the boot monument. | |
| You reminded me of it. | |
| As soon as you said that, I was like, oh, right! | |
| I love the statue of just his leg, because his leg took a bullet for this nation, but we hate him. | |
| His leg as a monument. | |
| I don't know if his leg got directly shot by the bullet. | |
| He had a horse shot out from under him. | |
| The horse fell. | |
| He fell over with the horse on his leg, and it broke his leg. | |
| So we either caught a bullet and then had a horse fall on the leg to double up on the grief, Or it was just the horse falling on him. | |
| But either way, he was hospitalized for his heroic efforts on the battlefield of Saratoga. | |
| And so we commemorate his injured appendage for the brave work it did. | |
| The man that appendage was attached to, fuck that guy. | |
| So yeah, that's a great little tidbit to bring up. | |
| But this week, Because, again, with Elle being abducted, we're going to have to figure out what we're going to do about Kabali. | |
| We're going to have it this week or not. | |
| But either way, you are going to get a motherload. | |
| You are going to get the family-sized package when you go to the grocery store and buy the M&M's or your Honey Nut Cheerios. | |
| Because I'm going to tell you all about how the Civil War was about fucking slavery. | |
| And this is a subject that I don't shut up about. | |
| I am vociferous and verbose about it. | |
| I have to admit, much like you did, to at one point in my life being a Civil War truther And I will say it is very complicated, but yeah, it's about slavery. | |
| I was I was wrong for several years in my life. | |
| It is very funny. | |
| There's that meme of like the dummy median intelligence, smart person. | |
| And that meme is like dumb person. | |
| It was slavery, median intelligence, actually a million things. | |
| And then you dip back down to smart person. | |
| It was slavery. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, you summed it up perfectly. | |
| Right. | |
| So, again, all of that fun and frivolity is yours for $5 or more a month on our bonus content at the Patreon. | |
| If you have cold, hard cash and you don't want to give it to us Jamoaks just babbling into these cans on the internet, then go to love146.org and give them your hard-earned cash because they're fighting to end human trafficking! | |
| Which is really important and a good thing to do. | |
| Beyond all of that, the quick shoutouts to the guy who did our music, DJ Minimal Effort. | |
| Get on social media so we can thank you more appropriately. | |
| Or, because you are the man of Minimal Effort, I'm going to make you a Twitter account for you to post stuff on. | |
| I may do that this week. | |
| Our voiceover guy and our Our bump guy is FrostyVO, who is the man. | |
| He is the beasties and the cat's pajamas. | |
| Who is on social media. | |
| He is on social media, at TheFrostyVO, as previously mentioned. | |
| Go give him a shoutout if you ever need any voiceover work done, because he is very good at it. | |
| On top of all of that, Sarge did bring up BingeWordy previously, so if you want to listen to Sarge and Elle talk about pop culture, go to BingeWordy, which is B-I-N-G-E Wordy. | |
| This week, if El is still feeling under the weather, you're gonna get a super-secret mini-episode where I talk about He-Man and Snake Eyes. | |
| So strap in for that. | |
| I'll probably do that anyway, even if El's around or not. | |
| That sounds great. | |
| So, I believe we've hit all the bases, and if we didn't, I apologize for that. | |
| But this is not my job, usually, and I was thrown under the bus due to Sarge's gross incompetence, because I'm always willing to take shots at him. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So, for Sarge, this is Mike Rains, your QAnon expert, as El calls me, signing off for another episode of Adventures in Hellworld. |
