♪♪ Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of
Adventures in Hellworld.
I am Mike Rains, a.k.a.
PokerPolitics, and I am joined, as always, by Sarge.
Hello from the internet, I wait.
And the mysterious El.
Hello, beautiful babies!
Just absolutely on top of the world today, El.
Just feeling it in his toes, as it were.
Oh, that's only one of the many places I'm feeling it.
Oh, I bet.
All the places you're feeling it.
Especially the knees and the ankles.
All of these places.
So while I was perusing the interwebs this week, I stumbled across some group called the America First Institute, or some other such ultra right wing nonsense.
And they were like, we have a story of a poor boy that was censored on the internet.
Hmm.
For just speaking the truth, and this brave patriot lost over 300,000 followers on the interwebs, on his various social media platforms, for just trying to tell it like it is.
And that boy's name is Jordan Sather.
And they had our dumb bleach-drinking boy talk about how he was persecuted so meanly for peddling COVID disinformation, telling people that chlorine dioxide isn't really bleach and you should totally ingest it in order to cure everything that ails you, and all that other good stuff.
So, the American First Institute Policy of Political Action Committees, or whatever the hell you call yourselves, you got yourself a real winner here.
You've hooked yourself up to a horse that's gonna go real far.
Yeah.
Because on top of all the other bullshit that he's peddling, which is actually dangerous and might get people injured or killed, Jordan Sather also believes in stuff like anti-gravity engines and that Nazis live under the South Pole!
So this might not be the guy you want to strap the rocket booster to and launch to the moon.
As being the avatar of your movement.
And when I pointed out that the American First Institute, probably making a bit of a mistake by getting in bed with old SafetySafe, Jordan himself replied, screenshotted me and was like, oh, and a couple other people were like, oh, look at how I'm triggering all these libs.
Oh, owning the libs.
And it's like, you're not triggering me, Jordan.
You are destroying the credibility of this dumb group that you're now being associated with.
Like, if anything, I'm thrilled.
More people need to associate you with Jordan Sater.
I hope Donald Trump name drops you.
I hope you get all the attention in the world so you can fly like Icarus ever so close to the sun before your grift scam crashes and burns.
Like so much Ghost Ezra and every other clown who's gotten too big for their britches in this community.
More like Robert Dumb, am I right?
Yes!
Oh man, if only we had the text-to-audio voice for that guy's quote on Telegram and said that just so we could play that as a drop.
More like Robert Dumb, right?
It's so perfect.
But just all of these people, like Ron Watkins, getting on OAN as an investigator of election software expert, and all this kind of stuff.
All of these people, when they just get a little too much spotlight on them, it all turns to shit.
Who they really are gets revealed to the world.
They're the kind of people that need to stay in the low-level grifts.
You need to be running the three-card money in the seedier parts of town.
You don't go uptown with that scam.
They've flown too high.
Yeah, they've flown too high.
You get too close and you rip off the mayor's nephew, and the next thing you know the cops actually go looking for you.
Stick to scamming people for 20-40 bucks a whack.
Don't skin the sheep, shear the sheep.
Don't go chasing waterfalls.
You stick to the ones in the lakes that you're used to.
Oh god, yeah.
I was literally about to say that.
But that's why L is in the big boy chair, because he gets to those references quick.
Yeah, he's quick on the draw.
Yes.
The fastest pop culture reference east of the Mississippi.
That's our L.
But so that all happened with him.
But that was just ye olde silliness on the internet.
Dealing with QAnon often takes us to terrible places.
So here's a content warning about that stuff.
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 now that we've covered that, do we want to talk about the news?
I mean, there might have been some stuff that happened this week.
No news.
No news?
Okay.
Do we have like five or six Q-drops that Frosty made for us that we still haven't cracked open, like gold ones?
Well, we have fake breaking news in that I believe on last week's episode, we said that this week's episode was supposed to be our big anniversary extravaganza, which to be honest, we weren't planning anything special for.
But we have to do official Adventures in a Hellworld retraction.
Mike Rains, that goober, he went back and he re-crunched the numbers and discovered that this is our 51st podcast, meaning that next week will be our 52nd and therefore our one-year anniversary special.
So look forward to pretty much the same exact shit as always next week, but with us going, we did it!
We made it for a year!
And then making that motion where you like clasp both your hands and like shake them over your shoulders.
I'm thinking of that motion and it's perfect.
That will be the exact motion that I'll be doing the intros for next week to celebrate the fact that us three chuckleheads have actually managed to do a year's worth of weekly podcasts for you, our listeners, who we are very grateful for putting up with us for this year, as it were.
Yes.
Speak for yourself.
I'm not grateful for anything.
Fuck our listeners.
Fuck them!
L is a salty baby this week, but he's still beautiful.
So having said all of that, we actually do have news to cover, so let's get into that.
From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News.
So Sarge, what's our first headline this week anyways?
The Arizona canvas has started, right?
Am I understanding it correctly?
Oh, I thought this was old news.
Bethesda apologized and they eventually got people the bags that they wanted, even though it wasn't originally, like originally they shipped out ones that were made out of nylon instead of Arizona canvas, the way they promised.
But then eventually they got their heads out of their ass and they made good, right?
I thought you were going to go with an Arizona tea reference.
What the hell is Arizona tea?
Arizona- you don't- what?
What do you mean, what the hell is Arizona tea?
Oh, Arizona iced tea!
Sorry, I thought you were- when I hear the word tea without the word iced in front of it, I just immediately think hot tea.
Like, blame it on me watching all those British television shows, but you know, I was just like, is Arizona known for their, like, fucking loose leaf or something?
Am I crazy?
Yeah.
That would be great.
But the Arizona canvas has apparently concluded, and I use that term incredibly loosely, this canvas had nothing to do with cyber ninjas or any of this other frivolity.
This was just another right-wing grift done by an independent group who just was looking over the addresses of voters and Knocking on a few doors and harassing people.
And they've come out with their findings, as it were.
And you're going to be shocked to find out that they have found incredible amounts of fraud and corruption.
I'm surprised.
This is surprising.
Yeah.
And this election is just absolute madness.
Their cover letter is Election 2020 Grassroots Canvas Report, so you know it's totally legitimate and everything's great.
And they claimed that they found 173,104.
173,104. They were incredibly specific down to the single digits.
104 lost votes and 96,389 ghost votes.
So I guess Ghost Ezra, AKA Robert Dumb, went to Arizona and voted almost 100,000 times.
And the funniest thing about this is that they had a cover letter of a vacant lot
that they claimed was used to cast a mail-in vote.
But Garrett Archer, who you can find on Twitter at Garrett underscore Archer, who is a reporter in Arizona
who does great work covering COVID data and also all of this right-wing horse shittery.
Um...
He already debunked their cover letter photo of this abandoned lot, and if you actually pan out from what they claimed is the lot, you can see a building where a person lived and cast a vote from.
So they've had to change the picture on their cover letter Because it doesn't work.
It's not true.
They're lying.
And this is something that these groups do all the time.
I remember, I don't think it was for the Arizona audit, but it was for a different scam like this.
Steven Crowder sent one of his flunkies To some city to take photos of places where people were supposedly voting and showing, this person voted on 77 Elm Street but you look here and it's an abandoned lot!
And then if you go on Google Maps you see they're taking a photo of an abandoned lot but behind that person is 77 Elm which is a house where someone voted from.
This is just that kind of shit where you You take a shot of something that is an abandoned lot in the area of that address, and then claim it's directly that address, and then anyone who has Google Earth and some time on their hands can find out how you're lying.
But no one cares that you're lying, because this is entirely designed to Make these people happy and placate them by saying, hey look, these people cheated and lied and they're defrauding us by having people vote from empty lots and all this kind of stuff.
A guy named Mark Fincham, who is an actual real Republican candidate running for the Arizona Secretary of State.
He has yet to get his Twitter-mandated blue checkmark for being a candidate for public office, but I'm sure he's going to get that because basically if you're any kind of right-wing grifter and you run for any level of office, you get a fake blue checkmark for just pretending that you have a real campaign.
But he's already posted on Twitter today.
I am calling it!
Between the preliminary audit results and the private canvas, I call on Arizona to decertify the election of 2020 and recall the electors!
There is already enough evidence to show clear and convincing fraud.
We have a duty to act.
I just love that these people are so hardcore going for the QAnon vote.
Not even remotely tethered to reality.
Just completely out of their fucking minds.
Also, to let you know how hip and happening Mark Fincham is, On Twitter, where he's a serious, somber professional running for public office for the good people of Arizona, he's got on his suit and tie.
He's wearing a cowboy hat because it's a western state.
He's got to have that western flair to him.
But that's his public Arizona Secretary of State.
Does he care, or does he give a fuck?
a social media account on what I believe to be Gab, because he's got the fake blue Torbs checkmark here.
He's Mark Fincham, at AZ Honeybadger, and his avatar is a honey badger.
Because he's like, I don't know, like eight years late to the party on honey badgers.
Does he care or does he give a fuck?
That's the real question.
Oh, absolutely.
He doesn't give a fuck.
He's a honey badger.
Boom.
Oh, man.
I'm hip.
I'm with what the kids care about.
If only he could have had a gif of a honey badger dabbing.
That would have just made it even more culturally relevant and perfect.
That would indeed be the best.
Yeah, it's just, I just love the fact that, like, on Gab, he can let his freak flag fly and be the Arizona honey badger.
But on the Twitter-trons, he's got to be serious and be a statesman, a man who's reaching across the aisle and can work with anyone while he's outright saying, hey guys, it's a Republican primary.
And I think in Arizona, I can win the Republican primary with QAnon votes.
Just pure Nuclear grade, like, just hardcore, lunatic QAnon.
I'm not even going for, like, regular MAGA people.
I want people that were looking for the soy sauce and the bamboo in the ballots.
I want the people that are... He wants QAnon votes, dripping with sauce, meat falling off the bone.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
Oh my, oh my god.
Yeah, I just checked his Gab account and he, this is a man, he has a powerfully lame mustache.
Oh man, this, of all the headshots this man could have possibly have taken, this one's probably not the best, I'll just say.
I just sent it to you in our group chat.
Maybe next time go for profile, buddy.
That's basically all I can say, because this is, He's that square-jawed, mustachioed Adonis.
Republicans only love their men completely chatted up.
He looks like old Walker Texan Ranger.
He looks like Walker who lost a few fights before the end of his career and had to figure out that he's got to get back into the game, as it were.
More like needs a walker, Texas Ranger, am I right?
Boom!
Got him.
Come on, guys.
Hey, audience, I know you're out there.
I can hear you leaving.
I mean, you know, like ideally all of these people will just run and then just lose and be embarrassed and then go back to their home planet like Poochie.
That would be the ideal outcome.
That would be something that I would be massively in favor of because it's really frustrating that we have This right wing in America, a group of people that are completely unplacatable, and they're mad.
I mean, they're just barking mad.
It's really odd that... What's going to be really interesting is, what's going to be the reaction when these people lose in 2022?
Because I don't think this guy is going to win the Republican primary for Arizona Secretary of State.
I mean, if he does, then holy shit, are we in a... We're in a magical world of trouble at that point, but...
You've got trouble in River City.
I would like to think that that won't happen, but beyond that, I mean, you've got Allen West running in Texas, you have a guy whose name eludes me who's running, there's a guy running in Georgia who's running completely against Governor Kemp on the Trump one, this election was rigged, and And Kemp hung Trump out to dry, and that ain't cool.
And it's really interesting, because what are these people all going to do when they lose?
What are they going to do when they lose these primaries?
Are they just going to be like, oh, well, you know, the better man won, and I hope all my followers vote for the better man in the general election, because can't let the Democrats win.
Or are they going to say this shit is rigged?
I mean, that's really the $64 question for me for all of this stuff.
I mean, 2022 and 2023 are both going to be some busy years for cyber ninjas.
It's rigged.
It's always rigged.
Speaking of which, that's a perfect way to move into our second headline, which is that the California recall is heating up because Next Tuesday is the deadline for the votes to be submitted.
I believe that'll be the day for in-person voting at the polls, as it were, and all the mail-in ballots for California.
That'll be like the last day to send them in and all that good stuff.
So probably on our next podcast, we're going to have a really good feel for how the California recall is looking.
Is Gavin Newsom going to survive the recall?
Is he going to be replaced by Larry Elder?
who is again a crazy person.
Not Larry the Elder.
It's gonna be very, I mean, it's very interesting that Larry Elder,
about a week or two ago, this recall was looking like really tight.
It was like the polling was like the Newsom's only up by a point or two.
And I think this could go either way.
And now in the past week, everything's broken like heavily in Newsom's favor because people are like,
holy shit, If we vote this guy out, a Republican gets in.
We're California!
That ain't a good idea.
We don't know a Republican running this place.
And you would think if you were like Larry Elder, if you were a Republican running for governor in California, And you were running it under these very weird terms where it's a recall, it's basically like a referendum on Gavin Newsom.
It's not so much a referendum on who you are and what you're doing.
It's just kind of, hey, citizens of California, do you like your governor?
Yes, no.
You'd think that you'd just want to leave it, just make it a referendum about that asshole with the slicked back hair and his COVID restrictions that made some people unhappy and all that kind of stuff.
Just make it all about that guy.
But Larry Elder's out there saying, hey, when I'm governor, I'm just going to be waiting for Dianne Feinstein to drop dead, then I'm replacing her with a Republican and giving Republicans control of the U.S.
Senate.
I'm going to be a wild man.
I'm going to be out of control.
I'm crazy.
I'm Larry Elder.
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop!
Just guns in the air like Yosemite Sam.
Right, and it's like, you know, like, if I were, like, the Democrat who was gonna replace the governor of Texas or something in a recall election, or Oklahoma or some shit, if you ever put a microphone in my face during the recall election, I'd be like, I don't know what you're talking about.
No comment.
No comment.
I would just run.
I'd be like, You know, the governor of Oklahoma sucks!
And just jump into my car and drive away.
But recall them!
Get rid of them!
Bye!
But, but Mr. Raines, how would you govern Oklahoma if you became the new governor if this recall went through?
Uh, I'd give everyone a kitten!
I don't know!
Bye!
I mean, just like... I, I wouldn't tell... Oh shit, the Bernie platform.
Yes!
I would, I would... Alright, alright, alright there grassroots.
Start charting.
Let's make it happen.
Yes.
No black people, guys.
Yes.
So, I would love it if, well, I would actually hate it if some Republican managed to get the governorship of California, but it would be great to see somebody have to, like, stand at a podium literally ringed by burning countryside and try to deny climate change.
Just, that would just be so juicy.
It'd just be like, actually, like literally wearing a gas mask so that they could breathe through the smoke and just be like, Climate change?
I don't know what you're talking about, guys.
Seems fine to me.
Beaches are open.
You know, we love Disney World or whatever.
It's gonna be fucking incredible.
It would be wonderful.
Yeah, just being like, hey, the actual reality you see around you is a lie.
The burning hellscape of California is not caused by climate change.
Me ending all the COVID restrictions and our hospitals filling up with the dead is because COVID is a hoax and the vaccine will murder you.
Every bit of tangible reality, I reject it.
I reject it out of hand.
Because I'm nuts.
I'm a Republican, and I'm absolutely just pooping in my hand and eating it levels of crazy.
I mean, that's just how these people are.
It is this completely removed from sanity political movement that we have, and they have enough Hey man, maybe with a Republican governor, California could get into the race between Texas, Arizona, and Florida for craziest-slash-worst state in the country.
Aw, give them a chance.
Give them a chance.
They're like California.
Texas is just making such a run at the belt right now.
I mean, you, you, you, you heard the first segment about what's going on at Arizona, right?
Like they, they topped off, they fucking.
Their recall wasn't enough, so now they're doing grassroots canvassing and lying about people voting from addresses that don't exist, when they do.
Meanwhile, Florida's play at the belt of worse-slash-stupidest state is to literally just let a virus murder all of their children.
So that's exciting.
This is a good run.
Yeah, they're really good.
It could go to anybody.
It depends on who McMahon wants to give the push.
At some point it's just going to boil down to who McMahon likes.
Yeah, he's just going to make a decision.
I think he's going to go with the old standby of Florida, because Florida Man is a meme for a reason.
That's just the Sunshine Laws.
I don't want to completely throw Florida under the bus.
They are a shit state.
Sorry, Florida listeners.
I'm not sorry!
They're very willing to air their dirty laundry.
Sarge does not speak for the whole podcast.
He might be sorry, but I'm not.
Your state sucks.
Your state sucks, and if you don't want people to think your state is a fucking punchline, then do better at fixing it.
Don't elect tiny trumps like DeSantis into the governorship.
And then literally have them staff their cabinets with people that are, you know, a little tentative on the vaccine and all that kind of stuff.
Just actual science denying clowns who are doing this because they want to run for president in 2024 and they think they can't be too aggressively pro-vaccine to win a Republican primary because that's the level of nuts we are in America at this point.
I mean, it's really, Yeah, how incredible is it to try to be a conservative with some forward momentum in this country, you have to be aggressively anti-science.
Science is bullshit, climate change is a lie, the vaccine is a hoax.
He's got my vote, he says what I want to hear, which is that reality is something that makes me sad and scared, so I deny it.
Y'all, I'm running on a very simple platform.
Ain't being white great?
Oh my god.
Ugh.
Like, I do love being white.
You have my vote, sir.
Oh my god, you're Caucasian is just overpowering.
Oh, that's one of the really funny things that our boy Ronanon has been running with in this... Ronanon.
I've heard it before.
It gets me every time.
I'm glad that my wit is still piercing even after all these years.
But our boy Ron, he posted a thing where he was like, When Larry Elder wins this recall election, he'll be the only black governor in America.
So if he loses, that just means the Democrats in California are racists.
And the Democratic Party is the real racists.
And it's just, I just love that like ridiculous bullshit where it's just like, yeah, we, we, of the 78 Republican candidates for, um, governor of California in this recall, the guy that's getting the most support happens to be black.
So that means that the Republicans are the progressive party.
Uh, I remember when this whole recall thing got, was slowly getting itself off the ground, uh, when Caitlyn Jenner was the face of the Republican party.
In the recall election and gab and a bunch of the right wing was like, now, okay, everybody, I'm a Republican and I like Donald Trump and all that kind of stuff, but I am not voting for Caitlyn Jenner to be the governor of California.
It ain't no way.
Ain't no how.
And if that's where the Republican party is going, I ain't going to be a part of it.
And it was like, oh, really?
Why is that, Mr. Republican on Gab or Telegram?
Because you've been kicked off of every other platform.
And generally speaking, when you ask them why, they would probably use some terminology that would involve the name Bruce and other things that were hateful and mean.
Because The Republican Party is willing to have a black candidate through gritted teeth, but a trans candidate for governor.
Oh, Nelly.
Oh, that is a bridge way too far.
Just imagine how shocked Kamala Harris, AOC, and Ilhan Omar are going to be to find out that they're playing for the racism party.
After all this time, it's like, PSYCHE, gotcha!
I got bad news.
They probably already know.
The party that has had the only two people of color in the executive branch in the history of America, one of whom served eight years as president, mind you, and one who's the current vice president, Yeah, I was like, remember that deep red Republican black president of the United States we had?
Oh, wait, I'm getting word in my headphones that he was a Democrat.
It's so funny how these people really just want to pretend that the fact that they spent the entire 2020 election praying for anyone other than Joe Biden to be the Democratic nominee because They just couldn't find it in their heart to hate an old white man, and they really wanted it to be Hillary, and they really, really triple wanted it to be- I mean, they got there with Biden.
They've gotten there with Biden now, but that's because Biden beat their boy.
I mean, after Biden defeated their orange god, they eventually found enough hate juice in them to get mad at Joe Biden and spend all day on the internet calling him a pederast and all that other good stuff.
During the 2020 campaign, they were just like, oh man, I gotta get angry at Joe Biden.
Boo!
I wanted to get mad at Hillary.
I wanted to get mad at Michelle Obama.
I wanted to get mad at women and minorities.
Old white guy is boring.
Boo!
Q even had one of his weird posts that would make you think he's not a American, or at the very least, Ron Watkins doesn't know the The terminology of sport ball works.
In QDROP 4014, on April 13, 2020, he was talking about potentially Biden being removed at the convention.
And he used the phrase, change of batter coming, instead of pinch hitter or other terms that you would actually use.
He was like, Change of batter?
Are they going to remove Biden for a person we actually can get angry over?
Because again, the old white man doesn't hit us in the hatred erogenous zones the way other people do for reasons.
Al, you remember when that happened, right?
When they, during whatever convention that was, they removed Biden from office?
Oh yeah, I mean it was the infamous change of batter, which at first I thought was going to be a delicious twist on the cake I had been receiving, but it turns out it was them removing Biden from office and substituting Donald Trump again.
Same batter as before, but different.
Yeah, Mike, you're just confused.
He wasn't making a bad sports reference.
He was making a bad Great British Bake Off reference.
Yeah, he's very excited for the September 24th announced release date of the next season of British Bake Off, and he had to get on Twitter and start talking about change-ups and batters.
That would be awesome if Q had just gone into weird niche stuff that he was interested in recently.
He was just like, hey, how's this season of Lucifer treating you guys?
I'm kind of liking it.
If Q just started doing small talk, that'd have been awesome.
Just, like, random stuff.
Then people start... Small talk with Q!
I heard that Joe Rogan was really interested in this change of batter, but only if it was made with horse paste.
Joe Rogan is very mad at you for accusing him of eating horse paste, because he'll have you know that he got the human ivermectin from a real doctor that he obviously didn't doctor shop with when he was running around America, literally grabbing every drug he possibly could, Nope.
in order to fuel his recovery from COVID.
Which again, the headline was the Ivermectin bullshit, but ignore all of that, ignore the Ivermectin headline.
He was also- Nope, I'm not ignoring that.
I'm not ignoring the horse pace, I don't care.
I don't care what other better super drugs from actual medical scientists or humans he was taking.
I'm never going to ignore the ivermectin.
I can certainly put it on the back burner.
Do you think his real human doctor told him about the ivermectin study where it showed an increased amount of infertility in rats?
Because there are no human studies for it.
So we have to go off this rat study that shows it's going to make your peepee not work.
Yeah, but Sarge, A, his COVID is doing better.
It could have been any number of those drugs, but ivermectin is certainly one of them.
And B, he doesn't have worms anymore.
Oh, well, you know, that's good.
That's positive.
He no longer has to put those breaks at his podcast so that he could drag his ass across the carpet.
It's fucking incredible.
There is... I see a study, but I don't know how reputable or peer-reviewed it is, because it's from three universities in Nigeria that said that 85% of the men who take ivermectin have become sterilized.
So yeah, there's a lot of talk about the damage that ivermectin does to your internal organs, that it massively damages sperm function.
And so we're dealing with a lot of fun and frivolity with this.
Right now, Snopes Who, again, QAnon hates, is listing this ivermectin sterility claim as unproven.
They don't know the exact veracity of the claim.
No, yeah, I linked the study.
It's only, so far, only in rats, again, that they've seen it.
To be fair, that kind of puts it on even footing with the same amount of data we have that proves that ivermectin does anything against COVID.
Like, if you're gonna be taking, like, hey, there are parts of the ivermectin data I like, and parts of the ivermectin data I don't like, please give me the horse dewormer.
Give me that sweet, sweet, minty paste.
Yeah, what I was saying to ignore the ivermectin part, I wasn't saying to ignore the fact that Rogan's an idiot for taking ivermectin.
What I was saying to ignore was the fact that it cured him of the COVID.
Because the Regeneron, the shit that he was actually taking that was the high-grade stuff, that was what cured his COVID.
Uh, when you, uh, go to, like, the hospital for, uh, an infection and they give you some penicillin to clear it up, that's what cleared it up.
Anything else you do beyond that is just, uh, icing on top of the cake.
If you Go to Wendy's and eat a Baconator.
The Baconator didn't cure your problem.
The Penicillin did.
So, if Rogan or any other clown wants to say, hey, I took the Ivermectin and it took care of my COVID, no muss, no fuss, It's like, well, if you do catch COVID again, and because you're an idiot who won't get vaccinated, that's possible.
Next time, let's go pure ivermectin.
No Regeneron, no actual shit that works.
You and the Horse Paste go one-on-one with Daddy Delta, and let's see who comes out on top that time.
1v1 me.
Yeah, 1v1.
COVID's like, 1v1 me, bro.
I mean, just, yeah, that's what I'm talking about here is because The ivermectin didn't do it.
The ivermectin does nothing to COVID.
It is a joke to think that it treats this problem at this time, because we have no evidence that it does.
It's a placebo at best, and it's damaging at worst, and it's very likely that it's damaging.
I mean, that's just the way this is.
Well, I mean, thank goodness...
Sorry, go ahead.
No, you go.
There have been reports of people going into liver failure from ivermectin overdoses, because again, we don't have a good, clean human dose, because it's not meant for humans.
Well, the shit they're taking isn't meant for humans.
You can get actual human ivermectin, but the thing is, is you can't get it from honest doctors, because they won't give it to you because it won't treat COVID.
So if you're like, hey doctor, I've got a cough and some fever, I haven't been tested for COVID yet, but you know, so hey, if you got that ivermectin, hook me up.
And then the doctor's like, no, I will, like, I'll, like, tell you to come to the hospital if you're really sick and we can treat you with, like, actual medicine.
In the hospital and maybe give you assistance breathing if it gets that bad in the hospital, but we're not giving you ivermectin.
And then those people are like, fuck you, doctor, and they're going to the and then they're going to the local veterinary clinic and grabbing the horse paste, because that'll cure it.
That'll fix me up.
And it's just, it's such nonsense that we're here in this world where Uh, over 200 million Americans have gotten at least one shot of the vaccine, and yet you, the galaxy-brained super genius, are just like, you know, I don't trust that shot that 200 million Americans have gotten.
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go with the horse paste.
I'm gonna go with the sheep, the sheep drench.
I'm gonna go with the livestock medicine.
And it's just, it's so ridiculous.
He's just like, you know, I smoked some ayahuasca and I was at my sis' death chamber the other day and it came to me in a vision.
Horse paste, that's what'll cure me.
And it's just like, oh Joe Rogan, you do so many dumb fuck things that it's like, surely you have to be the only conservative-ish idiot with a huge platform to take the horse medication.
So thank God it's only Joe Rogan.
It could be really damaging if it was other people besides just Joe Rogan.
Sadly, I have non-breaking news that our friend of the podcast and local moron Alex Jones was so jealous of Joe Rogan getting out there and talking about the merits of Ivermectin That Alex Jones angrily broke out Ivermectin on his show and was taking Ivermectin live on the air to show everybody that it's great and it's awesome and it's wonderful.
And during his tirade, he claimed, and again, you can never actually trust Alex Jones for fucking anything he says, he claimed that he had COVID twice over this period of time.
Yeah.
Which...
I just really love the idea that he thought he would just sneak that in there.
Because during this period of time, Jones has had on his show David Icke.
And David Icke's whole argument for COVID is that it doesn't exist.
It's not even a real thing.
It's not a Chinese bioweapon.
It's not caused by 5G.
It's just fictional.
And I just love that Alex would have him on his show because David Icke is higher in the pecking order than Alex.
And he doesn't need to fucking play Alex's game.
When Alex would be on, he'd be like, hey, David, the Chi-Coms, they hit us with the COVID, it's a poison, it's dope.
And David would be like, no, buddy, COVID's not even real.
I don't know what you're talking about.
And then Alex would be like, oh, that's fine, David, whatever you say, buddy.
I said Chi-Com for the first time around my partner, Foxy.
She was just like, is that racist?
That sounds really racist, Chaicom.
And I was like, it just means Chinese communists.
So it's not like good, but I don't think it's explicitly racist in the way that you're thinking.
I feel like it sort of depends on, it depends a lot on context, like the word Jews.
Yes.
Right, like, Jews at a baseline.
Like, typically, I try to get away from the sticky wicket by just referring to them as people of Jewish faith.
But a lot of people are not so delicate with that.
And they will just use the term Jews.
It's just sort of like casual conversation.
And, you know, like, as long as the context is copacetic, it's usually good.
Man, one wrong inflection point, like one wrong string of words, and all of a sudden it's just like, ooh, that got real bad real quick!
Oh yeah, I totally feel that.
I can see how that terminology, it is dumb, and it's designed to make people be mad at China, but it's not to be mad at them due to racism, it's be mad because they're communists!
They're preaching this evil ideology, whereas Jesus Christ gave us the capitalist system when he came down from heaven to save the world.
And I don't even think they're really communist anymore.
Whatever they are, it's not communist.
No, they're capitalist.
I mean, they're capitalist, but the government makes sure they get a slice of everything.
But the Chinese Communist Party runs the country, because when they had the revolution and they took the country over, that's what Mao Zedong called the party.
And it's still that party.
They didn't rebrand it at any time, because they were like, hey, this is the name of the party.
We're not going to change it.
Screw you.
But just because the Chinese Communist Party runs China doesn't mean it's a communist system.
Because they're working on creating a Chinese middle class where people can buy TVs and have small quantities of freedom.
So long as they're consuming and helping the Chinese economy grow, as it were.
But yeah, but, but the really funny thing is, is like, I actually, like Zapruder filmed Alex Jones's ivermectin
thing and his hand goes some places before it gets to his mouth,
those pills and I'm not sure he actually took the ivermectin.
Yeah, I, I saw a lot of people in that Twitter thread saying,
I don't think he actually took it. And then it was brought to
my attention. Why would he be so dumb as to try and like palm
fake it on live stream with his own like camera crew when he
could just have brought out a different pill and taken it.
I I mean, because he's an idiot, but yeah.
I mean, that's the thing.
I just don't know.
I don't know.
Again, I don't trust this idiot at all for anything because Right.
The whole everything he did there was just a stunt for the sake of attention because he was so mad
That Joe Rogan was like he was he is so angry. I don't know if you saw the post I had on Twitter today
that Torba posted of like this weird
Wojak that has Joe Rogan's face planted on it that has like a massive dick coming out of the neck and
It's it's the weirdest drawing in the world.
What?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Send us this picture.
I have no comprehension of what you're talking about.
Yeah, basically, it's this really silly thing where it's all the dumb libs on one side with their vaccines, and then on the other side it's Joe Rogan with his wagon full of Horse face.
And yeah, and he has a dick coming out of his neck.
And it's just like, why would that make me happy?
Why would I want to eat the horse dewormer if I'm going to grow a penis out of my neck?
That seems real.
You didn't mention his giant nutsack in a tractor supply branded wheelbarrow.
Uh, well, yeah.
Well, I kind of, I didn't notice that that was, yeah, I didn't even notice that part of it.
I just, I mostly just saw the horse face.
There's layers.
There's layers.
There's absolutely layers to it.
And they're proud.
They even have a tractor supply company on the side of the wheelbarrow to make sure you know this is horse paste.
Even though Rogan himself is angry about it.
And he's like, yeah, I got the real human ivermectin.
Leave me alone.
I'm not eating the horse paste.
Yeah, I don't know what Rogan's complaining about.
I've had the coronavirus twice and my penis works great.
Maybe even better than before.
Do you think they got the apple flavored paste?
Because it does come in apple flavor, it's for horses.
They were out of the apple flavor when I went, so I got the peanut butter stuff.
They told me it was the same stuff they had an actor use to make it look like he was talking on camera back in the 50s.
The moment you brought up peanut butter, I was right there.
I was so ready for it.
I just got one impression, and it's Mr. Ed.
Man, you need to get some range, buddy.
No, that's not my pocket.
You're not Ranger Specialized.
I understand.
That makes sense.
Oh, enough Ivermectin.
Have we gotten through all our headlines?
No, we have not.
What do we have left?
We have Ron Watkins further talking about the California election, and he's busting out the gibberish because when you're Ron Watkins, you can never You can never stop creating phony deadlines, nonsense, and incoherent bullshit.
Explain this to me.
I saw you and other people posting this that Ron, which I always forget, is he on Telegram?
Okay, on Ron's telegram, he keeps ending all his posts now with a new acronym, but he has not explained what this acronym is.
Like, like old Q, he just expects you to figure it out.
Do your own research, Sarge.
I'm trying.
Do your own research, Sarge.
That's damn right.
So I'm scrolling up to get to the beginning of this saga of the Ron Watkins gibberish abbreviation.
Give us the acronym real quick.
The first time he posted it, it looks like it was on it was it
was yesterday. And it was p s b s r p s b s. Yeah. And his first
post was dawn of the final day and then he signed it that way.
And then his next one was you don't know what's coming.
They don't know what's coming the final day. And then he signed
it with that same abbreviation.
And then after he did that, he made a third post, which was literally just the abbreviation, and it was one minute later.
So at 1.22pm, he wrote that first note that I told you about, and then a minute later he was like, I really gotta sell the PSBSR.
I haven't hit him over the head with it enough.
Has anyone directly asked him what the fuck it is?
Well, yeah, people were asking him what it was, but he never answered it directly that I saw.
So he continues to be a twat.
Then he posted it again, he said, half a day remains, with that abbreviation.
And then at 10.55 p.m.
last night, less than 12 hours to go, abbreviation.
Then today, good morning, the truth is coming, more and more and more, final approach, more five minutes.
Oh, and now we have an answer at 10 o'clock this morning.
Oh, breaking news.
He revealed it to us.
Hold on.
Don't tell me yet.
Don't tell me yet.
I want to try and guess.
P-S-B-S-R.
Patriots, Storm, Big Storm, Ron.
Big Storm, Ron.
I'm going with Big Storm, Ron.
P-S, Big Storm, Ron.
That's really close, but it's... Oh, I was close.
Okay.
No, you're way off.
Totally wrong.
Oh, goddammit.
He... President, Senate, Board, State Legislature, Recorder.
So somehow they just dropped the L in State Legislature and shortened it to... State Legislature gets abbreviated with only an S. It doesn't get the SL.
I always knew I was going to be disappointed in this, and somehow knowing I was going to be disappointed still did nothing to temper that.
He- God damn it, Ron.
Like, you had the chance to give us something that could have been merchable, and now it's just an acronym for what the The people they think they need to overturn the election?
It looks like it's just like the recorder of these people or something.
I mean, oh, it's those four legislative offices, the presidential election, the Senate election, board elections.
state legislature elections, and apparently the recorder election.
I don't even know what office the recorder is, but apparently the Democrats tried to steal that one too.
And Ron thought that was so important he had to throw the R in to make his
acronym really pop.
So apparently Trump is gonna win Arizona.
McSally is going to win back her Senate seats.
Uh, people on the board.
I don't even know what the board is, but people on the board are going to switch.
Some state legislature people are going to win.
And, uh, the recorder, man, if I'm the Republican who ran for recorder, I am so happy right now.
Cause I'm back, baby.
I made it.
Okay, okay.
So, L missed the reveal of what this was.
So, L, before we reveal to you what PSBSR... I already took my guess.
Do you want to guess what Ron's new acronym might mean?
Well, the S certainly doesn't mean seamlessly letting me escape from my computer for a moment and then return without being called out for it.
So, I'm all out of guesses.
Alright.
Also, that's a hell of a string of letters to put me on the spot for there.
I don't know.
Peanut butter flavored supplement for bovine SARS repair.
Nailed it!
You're pretty close.
Perfect!
That's better than Sarge's, though.
Yeah.
Mine was P.S.
Big Storm Ron.
Yeah.
There's no vowels there.
Sorry to mess with.
Come back and it's just like, hey, take a look at this alphabet soup and come up with a string of words for it real quick, idiot.
It didn't need to be anything.
The bar was on the floor.
Yeah.
Like, we're dealing with Ron here.
Well, I mean, I will give Sarge credit for the fact that, at the very least, it wasn't Sarge's racist improv, which is his usual way for putting people on the spot in our show.
Which is like, hey, Al, say something negative about the Jews.
Go!
Um, no.
No, I won't.
You're not on camera.
I try to be on TMZ.
So anyways, as I previously stated, this actually stands for the elective bodies that apparently are going to be overthrown in the election via these reports, which is the presidency, the Senate, the board, question mark, of Arizona, the state legislature, which again, Ron just left out the L in state legislature.
You'd think that would be the abbreviation SL instead of just S, but hey, no, it's Ron's abbreviation and we're doing it.
And the recorder, which again, I have no idea what the recorder is in there.
Yeah, I'm very... It's everyone's favorite instrument!
It's the office of grade school recorders.
And right after he posted that silly thing that was all angry and mad, He posted it in all capital letters to let you know he's serious about it.
Maricopa County must be decertified!
Just shake your little fists in the air with more impotent rage, Ron.
You got this, little guy.
Put on your wagyu cowboy hat and really lay down the law to those legislators in Arizona.
You got this, bro.
It's so funny that this is their whole thing.
And he also posted a bunch of photos of dominoes being knocked over because that's all cute.
Whatever could that be?
Arizona is always the first domino.
One of the pictures Oh!
Arizona's the first domino!
Now I get it.
This first domino has taken quite a while to fall.
Yeah, they've been setting up these dominoes for like five years now.
Any day now they're gonna flick that first domino and just get this whole train rolling.
It's gonna be great.
I haven't had this much slow service from a domino since my last pizza order.
Hey!
Anyway, Rod's obviously just out there trying to fire up people ahead of this rally that's happening on September 18th.
So, this September 18th rally was announced by various right-wing factions, where they were like, hey, September 18th, we're gonna march on the Capitol, do a little protest, let Biden and all the Democrats know we hate them, and they ain't cool with us, and yeah, we're just gonna let them know what's what.
And now that we're, like, two weeks away from this thing, um, suddenly the whole right wing was like, oh no!
We're actually gonna bring a bunch of our idiot selves to Washington D.C.?
That didn't go so good for us last time, like, you know, on January 6th, when... Yeah, I have to figure a bunch of them are on, uh, Jordan, uh, The one deal like deferred prosecution to not do again, exactly what they did.
Yeah.
So you have these, you have all these Jamoaks, all these idiots who have whipped themselves into a lather, but they know that it's very possible there could be a backlash or a problem.
So suddenly they've now done a 180.
And everyone is out there saying, hey guys, if you've heard anything about a big rally on September 18th, it's bullshit.
Do not attend.
Do not go.
Any plans or allegations that we're going to be doing a rally in D.C.
are not true.
Anyone who goes to D.C.
on the 18th is a false flag, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Soros-funded terrorist.
Do not attend.
So the entire right wing is now freaking out about the idea that right wingers might show up in DC on the 18th because they might do bad, wrong things.
And they don't like that because they don't like actually being the criminals.
Just dropping even more attention to January 6, because if they if they do it again, even but smaller, it's still just going to draw even more heat to January 6.
All those people waiting for their day before the court for the bullshit they pulled on January 6.
They're going to be thrilled if more right wingers like March on the Capitol, get into fights with police, and this time I'm sure there's gonna be way more police and way more National Guard.
Because they ain't gonna get caught napping this time.
So...
Well, I don't think, uh, Sarge's tinfoil hat, I don't think they got caught napping.
I think the guy at the top, uh, like, uh, held, tied their hands behind their back.
And I bet you this time, if a bunch of Patriots show up, there'll be a bunch more guns, uh, pointed in their direction.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
The guy, the guy running the country now, and he actually is running the country now, all the people who believe in devolution or all that shit.
You're all wrong, and you're all out of your minds.
Yeah, Sleepy Joe is gonna make sure that we have things on lockdown this time.
This ain't gonna get out of hand the way it did last time.
I think my favorite of these crazy, retraction, flailing tirades was on the Proud Boys Telegram channel.
I don't follow them, generally speaking, because they're not that QAnon adjacent, but someone sent me a screengrab of it that someone was like, hey, Proud Boys!
You were promoting this September 18th thing.
What's the story about that?
And the actual Proud Boys telegram replied and said, September 18th is bullshit.
We are not going to September 18th and no one should go there.
Anyone who claims to be a Proud Boy who's in D.C.
on the 18th is a fucking liar and they will be aggressively but sensually buttfucked and then removed from the Proud Boy community.
Which, uh, that last part sounded like they were working through a few things.
Maybe, um... I don't know why they brought up the sensuality of it.
Aren't, like, half of them in jail?
I know they're leaders in actual big boy jail.
Yeah, and the leader before that was an FBI informant.
I mean... Ha ha!
I didn't know that.
Oh, you didn't hear about that?
Oh, yeah.
They found that out pretty quickly, that, uh...
I believe it was Enrique Tarrio, but yeah, one of the guys that was the big boss of the Proud Boys was working for the FBI.
And that's how these things work.
I mean, it's just...
They always find a way to infiltrate these groups.
And it's always the guy you think is the one that could not possibly be.
Enrique Tarrio.
Enrique Tarrio was a prolific informer for law enforcement.
So yeah.
I have to... Gavin Telegram has to be like...
Like, 25% law enforcement at this point?
Oh, yeah, I mean, God, it's like when fuckin' Silk Road got taken down by the FBI or whatever, then popped back up.
Totally legitimate Silk Road back up and runnin', boys, like a month later.
And it was just like, please, continue to use Silk Road for all your illegal services.
Whee!
It's like, everyone that gets popped hiring a hitman, it's never a hitman.
It is always the cops.
Well, I mean, only because good hitmen don't get caught.
Yeah.
And you, a guy out in the world, is not going to be able to find a hitman.
You, Joe Exotic, are not going to be able to find a hitman.
I mean, you might be shocked if you knew how many people I have killed for money.
I just love the idea that this Silk Road goes offline and then it comes back online.
It's like, hey!
Anybody want some heroin?
Need me to kill somebody?
Still totally on the up and up!
Anytime you need some heroin or some fentanyl, come on in, make an order.
You got it.
I have to admit, it'd be like if the police rounded up some sex workers off of a corner that the next day it was like six dudes that look like Ron Swanson wearing dresses just being like, hey big boy, are you looking for some action tonight?
You could like see their service revolver like under their dress.
Oh, it's your first day here at the FBI?
New young recruit out of Quantico?
Well, here's your burner iPhone.
Go make a Telegram and a Gab account and get in some chat rooms.
Your workday is now just hanging out on Gab and Telegram.
Just post a few things about how you don't believe the Holocaust is real and You are totally in favor of taking hydroxychloroquine to cure COVID because it was a terrorist plot by George Soros to take over the world.
Here's a sheet of your talking points.
Oh God.
The racists are the better.
Don't worry.
Oh God.
There is no, like, the racists are the better.
Don't worry.
Go for it.
So.
I just, I think Joe Rogan's just a whiter.
I've had COVID six times, and each time it makes some of my hair grow back.
It's actually great.
Oh, God.
Oh, sad attention-seeking Alex, you're the best.
I've seen so many women, just like, if I find out a guy listens to Joe Rogan, that's just like date over.
So I think that covers our glorious headlines this week.
Let's see what our listeners have to ask us in the mailbag.
Our listeners got questions.
We got answers.
It's time for Q&A.
So Narek asks, do you think that it was part of a devious plan by the GQP to have men taking ivermectin knowing that there was a 2011 study showing significant drop in sperm count and efficiency in the mobility of the sperm?
We did cover the sperm problem with the ivermectin.
If Republicans were trying to poison their- trying to end the fertility of their own voter base, well, it seems like a mistake on their part.
If you could- this would be more along the lines of the whole thing where people were like, Q was the leftist plot to make Republicans look bad!
And it's like, well, the problem there is that you made yourselves look bad.
Because you're the ones who wanted to believe in that shit.
I mean, if I told a bunch of liberals a dumb, weird fantasy, it's only the liberals' fault if they look bad for believing me.
I mean, that's the thing.
You've both read Transmet.
You remember when Spider goes to the super right-wing Nazi rally and afterwards at the bar he says, one day I'm going to drop a bomb on the city, a contraceptive bomb?
Like, that's all I can think of.
I mean, like, look, do I think it's a plot?
No.
I think that these people have done it to themselves.
And obviously, COVID, on the whole, has been just like a terrible, awful thing for the world.
But now that the vaccine has rolled out and sanity, for the most part, has gripped the country, You know, the needle is moving a little bit in the other direction, what with all these conservatives, like, refusing to take the vaccine, and instead of treating it with medical drugs from human doctors, taking horse medication that might make them infertile.
That sounds great to me.
I mean, maybe that makes me a monster, but that part of the whole COVID experience is not my least favorite part, let's just say that.
So thank you.
Existential Dreadlocks, previous guest host on the pod, asks, Si, I guess my question is, do you see this getting better or worse?
That's a tough question.
I mean, I would say in one way, I would say better because the longer Trump isn't in power, the harder it is for the LARPers to keep the LARP going.
And on the other hand, eventually there'll be bad spots because The longer, sooner or later when people aren't placated, someone's going to do some dumb, violent shit.
And that's one of the main reasons why QAnon's constantly screaming and yelling about, there's going to be a false flag and they're going to blame us for it.
And it's like, well, when you keep promising to everybody that Hillary Clinton and George Soros and Joe Biden are all going to hang in Gitmo for their crimes, And then those people don't hang in Gitmo for their crimes.
Sooner or later, someone takes business into their own hands.
I mean, that's just inevitably what's going to happen here, so... And that when that does happen, it's gonna suck, but again, QAnon will take no responsibility for it.
Absolutely not.
They'll be like, uh, MKUltraSleeper, uh, LeftistPlant, uh, wouldn't matter.
I mean, GhostEzra could commit an act of terrorism, and they would say, ah, he wasn't really QAnon, I mean...
Once you do a bad thing, you're no longer part of the cool kid club.
It's just the way it works for a lot of these people.
Yeah, I mean, look what happened.
Like, it literally happened with the Q Shaman.
I'm still gonna keep calling him Q Shaman.
He got, like, he became the face of the movement there for a second, and they disavowed him so quick.
Oh yeah.
Like just, just threw him under the bus.
It couldn't have, like, couldn't have been faster.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Fuck that guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The Q Shaman never, never heard of him.
He was always Antifa.
That's the way I knew it.
So yeah.
Always antifa.
Always antifa.
They're just absolutely soulless about their total lack of cohesion and integrity.
Where we go one, we go all is a lie.
Just let it be known that the moment you inconvenience the movement, you're gone.
You're out.
You're persona non grata.
I would say, in general, better.
But in moments, it'll be worse.
That's basically the best I can say about that.
And I just hope the level of violence is low to non-existent.
I hope we are able to catch people before they do anything too stupid.
So thank you for the question.
Reverend Xenofact asks, tapping your crew's wisdom about odds, do you think you can predict the election results of 2022 or 2024?
Feel free to say no, or digress in the five minutes of pop culture references, or both, or yell Turbo Teen at random.
I miss that.
Wow, what a nice listener to give us permission to do all this stuff.
I'm so I'm so glad I've been blessed.
Well, allow me to shout TURBOTEED!
Because I can do it now.
I've been granted permission.
Oh my god, green light, Turboteed all the way.
I would say basically, I think that like the 2022 midterms I really feel like that's mostly about how COVID-y America is at that time, and how many states are getting nailed by it.
I mean, if Texas and Florida are still just horrifying, but the rest of America's pretty okay, then I don't think it'll be that bad for the Democrats, even though, again, once the new party gets the White House, I really feel like in America at this time, you still have an older generation who remembers Congress working and actually being a thing where that whole reaching across the aisle kind of stuff was something that happened.
And Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan worked together to make deals to pass legislation and all that stuff.
Whereas anyone who grew up past the 1990s where Newt Gingrich decided that, you know what?
Fuck it, I ain't letting anything happen anymore.
That generation onward is going to be the generation who's like, my party to the death.
This whole idea of split government leads to compromise and makes things work better.
That generation is like, split government means that nothing gets done and shit sucks.
So it's my way or the highway.
I feel like in 10-20 years that's going to be the way it is and I think that like the elections are going to be just mini-referendums on the president more than just, hey we gotta give the other party a hand on one of the levers of power so the other party doesn't get too crazy, which is Uh, without putting you too much on the spot, do we know
the, the big, the big ones for the midterms, like what states are like what
elections we really need to look at?
Well, like a Pennsylvania Senate is, uh, Pennsylvania Senate's a big one because
of the Republican there is retiring.
And that is, I mean, I know Trump got Pennsylvania in 16, but that's been a
mostly blue state for the longest time.
In Wisconsin, Ron Johnson, who's the weird Russian nutjob, I mean, the guy who was in Russia on July 4th a couple years ago, which always seems really weird and creepy to me, that happened.
So you have you have him and again, Wisconsin's a mostly kind of blue state.
Rand Paul is running for reelection and we had his insider trading scandal and all that kind of good stuff.
But it's Kentucky, it's gonna take a lot of work to get him out of office, but we'll see.
And Georgia, Warnock, the guy who won the Senate seat in Georgia on the
runoff after Biden won the presidency, his election was a special election and he has
to run for re-election for a full six-year term in 2022.
So he's- Okay.
So we have Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Kentucky's kind of a seemingly a lost cause.
And the thing is, is that if you look at the actual map, it's like so red.
The Republicans are defending so many seats and the Democrats are not defending that many at all.
So there is like, it's a possibility that it might end up like 2018 where the Democrats won the House, but the Republicans netted a couple of Senate seats.
So, like, the reverse of that could happen in 2022, where the Republicans win the House, but the Democrats actually throw their Senate majority.
So that is very possible.
North Carolina is a very competitive state.
Republicans up for re-election there.
So there's things going on.
So it'll be interesting.
So it'll be a fun little event to see exactly how it all shakes out.
I feel like, again, if we're back from COVID, this could be kind of an anomaly midterm, because people might just be like, hey, Biden got this shit under control.
Things are going good.
And I mean, that's kind of like a bunch of doe-eyed optimism on my part.
But I think it could work out.
I think it could be something that could actually go for us instead of go against us, as it were.
We'll find out.
In 2024, someone else also asked, who do you think Trump's running mate will be in 2024, and who will the Democratic nominee be?
That's Daniel, so we'll just layer his question.
The Democratic nominee is going to be Biden or Harris if Biden can't run.
I really don't see it being an open field kind of thing.
You... What about Bernie?
Hey, what about Bernie?
I don't think the third try is going to be the charm for him, but I feel like the party is going to consolidate around the president.
In America, we haven't had an incumbent president not run for re-election since 1968, when Lyndon Johnson dipped out because Vietnam made him toxic and he couldn't even try it.
So, uh... Yeah, I mean, why wouldn't they just run Biden?
I mean, granted, we still have a few years left of his presidency.
He could fuck up bad enough where they wouldn't want to run him again, but...
So far, like, he hasn't fucked up.
I mean, like, he kind of botched pulling us out of Afghanistan, but that was never going to go that smoothly.
So, like, I don't, I don't know.
I don't know what sort of disastrous fuck up he would have to make for the Democrats to just be like, ugh, the guy that we already got into the White House, he's not good enough.
Right, exactly.
I don't think that there's going to be any serious challenge to Biden or if anything happens to him to Harris.
The incumbent pretty much kind of clears the field.
I think the last time there was a real primary challenge of a president was like when Pappy Bush got primaried by Buchanan in 1992 and Bill Clinton ended up kicking his ass.
So maybe don't primary people.
I don't know.
So that side of it I think is pretty cut and dry.
Trump's running mate is very interesting because I think Trump would win the nomination if he ran, because he's kind of the cultured personality of the Republican Party.
I actually had a QAnon talking point out in the wild this week, which blew my mind, because I saw a bunch of QAnon people a few weeks ago were like, All these people don't take down their Trump 2020 signs and you never see people not take down the signs of the losing candidate.
It proves that people know something is wrong and that there was an injustice and that the solidarity of Trump is there because the people of America still love the man.
What?
I saw somebody, not from the area, flying a Philadelphia Eagles flag in front of their house just a few weeks ago.
Like, the amount of victories you rack up has nothing to do with whether or not people are going to rep you in flag form.
Anytime you see a Dallas Cowboys flag, remember that.
Or a Detroit Lions flag.
I mean, did they even make Detroit Lions flags at this point?
Oh my god.
They gotta be in a warehouse.
I bet you can buy those in bulk at a huge discount.
But take that Detroit Lions fans, boom!
Your misery is our content.
But I really wonder, like...
If when Trump runs, how crazy is his vice president?
Because I mean, QAnon would want him to pick Michael Flynn.
I mean, it would just be Michael Flynn or Marjorie Taylor Greene.
It would be an absolute pants on head crazy nut.
But I mean, what, what happened, if you don't know the story of Trump and the vice presidency was he was going to make Chris Christie as vice president.
That was who he wanted.
And Paul Manafort.
Uh, lied to Trump, said that his plane was, uh, not working and that they had to stay over in Indiana or wherever it was Mike Pence was.
And then that night and that morning, uh, Pence and Manafort gave Trump the hard sell that Pence was what he needed to cover his evangelical flank and, uh, quash that whole New York playboy lifestyle of his and let, let everybody know that, He did hate the women and the gay people enough to be a proper Republican.
And because Trump isn't easy to manipulate, dum-dum, he was like, okay, I'll go with Pence.
So, I mean, I feel like if you asked Trump, who would he pick for his vice president, right?
He'd probably pick Rudy.
He'd be like, Rudy, Rudy's my boy.
Boom.
Trump Giuliani, 2024.
Nailed it.
Jumpstart.
You're out of your fucking mind.
Rudy Giuliani is dead to Donald Trump.
Giuliani hates Trump now.
He won't pay him, and he left him out to dry.
If Rudy thought he could get on TV as the Vice President, oh God, he would run to that orange rob-goblin and snuggle deep to his bosom.
Oh, I'm sure that Rudy would literally sleep at Trump's feet like a faithful cat if he would let him, but I think that Rudy Giuliani's usefulness to Trump has now evaporated, so Rudy Giuliani is dead to him.
That's very possible.
I wouldn't be surprised if those two people are never in a room together until one of them dies.
But yeah, I think it's really interesting what would the political calculation be.
I mean, really, honestly, probably his vice president would be whoever Ivanka told him to pick.
Like, Daddy, make this guy your vice president.
He'd probably want to make Ivanka his vice president if it really came down to it.
Stay with me here.
Kanye.
I can see that.
I can accept that.
Kanye as vice president is totally plausible.
See, my favorite part about, I mean, this is classic, because Kanye is a difficult subject to riff on because he has a diagnosed mental health disorder.
So I'm just going to sit here and politely nod and just be like, yes, Kanye would be an amusing and interesting choice.
And that's all I can really say.
What am I going to do, take shots at the guy?
He's bipolar.
I mean, he would throw his own hat in the ring, and that's not me taking a shot.
He would just do that.
Oh, yeah.
If he was in a manic episode, oh my god, he'd kill to be vice president.
He'd love that attention.
And then once he came down from that, he'd resign the vice presidency immediately.
Be like, nope, I'm going back to my music.
Sorry, Kanye out.
I do think it would be pretty great, pretty great just for the fact that the same guy who on public television next to a horrified Mike Myers said that George W. Bush does not care about black people, throwing his head into the ring to be the running mate of Donald Trump would be incredible.
I'm here for that.
That would provide us with endless content because we are the monsters that feed on these greater monsters.
That was in the HBO documentary when they were talking to the QAnon Anonymous guys.
They were like, bad for the world, good for us.
And that's just the way it is.
It sucks.
Oh, I forgot to mention that Herschel Walker got Trump's blessing to run for Senate in Georgia.
So we're getting an ex-football player who has many instances of stalking and domestic violence as the hand-picked candidate by Donald Trump to try to wrest the Georgia Senate seat from the Democrats.
So that's great.
Uh, Kiz Epic asks, do you think that all Trump supporters should be purged from
social media platforms similar to what happened to QAnon after January 6th?
Where do you personally draw the line?
Uh, misinformation and disinformation.
I think that like, if you try to just kick a Trump supporter off of the
internet, that that's kind of weird.
And that level of political censorship is kind of a sticky wicket.
I mean, this is like that whole thing where Twitter was just so kid-gloving Trump after the election and all of his voter fraud claims, because, like, hey, he's the president!
I mean, what are we gonna do?
I mean, we can't kick the president off our service, and then after January 6th, we're like, fuck it, we're kicking the president off our service.
So, I mean, I feel like if you're just like, I love the Second Amendment and MAGA and all that stuff and Trump 2024, I mean, you can have a social media account, but the moment you start talking about ivermectin and 5G causing COVID, then maybe you shouldn't have an internet account.
So, I mean, it's tough.
I think misinformation is kind of the line that I would draw for that kind of stuff.
Yeah, I mean, like, nobody's gonna care if you're, like, even if you have, like, 4 million Twitter followers, nobody's gonna care if you're on Twitter talking about Bigfoot.
Because your belief in Bigfoot doesn't hurt anybody.
But if you're using your platform of 4 million people on Twitter to talk about how...
The government election for our president was rigged, and Joe Biden is not the legal president of the United States, or the vaccines cause autism, so you should take horse paste to cure up your COVID, or that wearing a mask is like being a Jew in the Holocaust, or any of the other horrible things that these people say, then yeah, that's when somebody needs to step in and just be like, hey, you can't use Our platform and the robust amount of reach it gives you to lie to your audience.
You should certainly be able to have a place to spout your opinions.
Like, I believe that vaccines are harmful or whatever.
A lot of these people just try to speak to their opinions as if they're absolute.
And that becomes harmful disinformation that is bad for society.
So fuck them.
I don't give a fuck.
Kick them off Twitter.
If you have more than a thousand Twitter followers and you say that COVID is a hoax, boom.
Straight to jail.
Overcook, undercook.
Jail.
That's a Parks and Recreation reference, people.
I'm not saying lock them up, but I am saying take away their fucking Twitter keys.
No Twitter for them.
No, he's saying jail time.
Hell world has the best listeners because of jail.
I love incarceration.
Oh man, incarceration is so good.
I mean, how else are we going to get, how else in 2021 are we going to get people to make things for us without paying?
Exactly.
And we close our questions that we've received this week from Old Man McWalkin's Fight Club Question of the Week, which is, EIT, Ezra, Sather, and Linwood all wake up on the Battle Royale Island with a class of high school kids.
What weapons do they have in their bags?
Who survives the longest and who dies in the most comical fashion?
None of them take it seriously like COVID the first time that it is announced that their zone is the zone that's going to be detonated and then they all just hang out in that zone because they think it's a hoax and then all of a sudden... Good answer.
Best answer.
Good answer.
I honestly, my only thing I would say is I feel like Sather and or Lin Wood would try to like sway some children to their side and not realize that the children understand what's really going on in the high stakes level of all of this.
And they perish pretty quickly, and pretty funnily.
They're like, hey, let's do an alliance!
Oh no, you're hitting me!
Stop!
Oh no!
Hey, I'll just say it.
Am I the only person who notices, conspicuously absent from the list of this party is Matt Gaetz.
Oh, we all know how Matt Gaetz gets dropped in this scenario.
We all know how that goes.
They're like two large armed guards holding a frothing at the mouth flailing Matt Gaetz who just demanded to be put on Child Island.
PUT ME ON THE ISLAND!
PUT ME ON THE ISLAND WITH THE KIDS!
They're like, no Matt, no!
No Matt, no!
How mad was Matt Gaetz when Epstein Island got shut down before he was powerful enough to go there?
Oh god, just probably throw a monitor through a window levels of rage.
Probably had to have his daddy call the police to tell them not to listen to all those noises coming from the Gaetz estate that night and sweep it under the rug as it were.
Because, yeah, that boy was probably pretty salty about all those things.
So, uh... One of our Battle Royale hypothetical contestants, like, reaches into their pack and their weapon is a cell phone, and as soon as they turn it on, it's just some, like, Venmo message for Matt Gaetz, and it's just, like, island emoji, like, money emoji, like, art emoji.
There's like, there's like, damn, he didn't care who he was sending it to.
Just whoever had this phone, huh?
All right, I guess.
Matt Gaetz is like one of the sponsors from the Hunger Games.
Just like, you got it, Snookums!
Just like, sending money and weapons and cans of soup to all of his, all of his favorite children on Murder Island.
I mean, on QAnon Battle Royale, I would love for everybody to reach into their packs and, like, one of them pulls out, like, a Bible!
And one of them pulls out, like, some Ivermectin!
And one of them pulls out, like, a bottle of Windex or whatever other thing that, like, Donald Trump was telling them to inject.
And one of them pulls out, like, a UV flashlight.
And it's just, like, all of the cures for the COVID.
That's what's gonna get you through Battle Royale.
Oh, and you know who the winner is!
It's the guy who pulls out the bottle of Adrenochrome and basically becomes an unstoppable zombie slaughter machine!
Oh no, he got the high grade!
It's like, no praying medic, no!
Don't drink the adrenochrome, it will turn you into a demon!
I must win the island!
No!
It's just Ghost Ezra just grabs one of the kids and straps to their back with like an IV in his arm, like the blood bag in Fury Road.
He's just jogging around the island just with that straight chrome.
Every now and then he just says something scary to the kid to make him cry.
Like, yeah!
That's how the other people defeat him.
They make the kid laugh and the blood no longer gives him the pop it needs.
Because this is a reverse Monsters Inc.
and you actually need to scare them with the fear.
I wish I wasn't so garbage at fuckin' Photoshop.
I haven't done it since college.
Or just, like, Photoshop Ron on the front of the car in that, like, rig they have Max in.
Just gah!
Just plow him forward, like, running blood to someone else.
Oh, God.
Yeah, Ron Watkins.
Actually, Ron Watkins should be in the car and you just have Pepe the Frog strapped into the blood bag seat, giving Ron the blood.
That's our question to you, listeners.
Who would be the blood bag on the front of the car driven by Ron?
So that brings us to our question of the week, which is what are you all looking forward to?
What's got you excited?
I actually started playing a little Final Fantasy XIV recently.
How's that?
I was lucky enough to actually be able to make a character on a server.
I'm going to say that the game itself is actually pretty fun, and it is really scratching my MMO itch.
I'm still pretty early into it, so I can't really speak to a lot of its systems and stuff yet, but it is satisfying in the way I wanted an MMO to be.
It is a game from a Japanese development studio that's almost 10 years old, and man, it really shows in a lot of their design choices.
And even just from a macro level of running your company, with the Blizzard controversy, a bunch of the World of Warcraft streamers switched over to Final Fantasy and have literally just hammered their servers so hard that it is, most times of day, impossible to make a new character in Final Fantasy.
You just can't do it.
Which I would understand if that was only for people who are trying to play the free version to test it out, but I have friends who have paid for the game that cannot play it.
Yeah.
Which is, like, unforgivable.
I mean, like, as a company, that's just, like, Square Enix is not a small company either.
Just fucking throw money at the problem until you get new servers off the ground.
Especially because they have a big content update coming this month.
So they should have known that there was going to be an influx of players to begin with.
I mean, certainly not like the 200,000 or whatever that Asmongold brought with him
when he decided to switch from a WoW stream.
But, like, still, the fact that it's been a problem for weeks, if not months now,
that you just can't make a character on Final Fantasy servers,
that they still haven't addressed it by just leveraging their resources to start new servers,
is completely unforgivable.
So, just from that standpoint, I definitely can't recommend the game to anyone else, but I am excited to play a little more of it.
I've been looking for an MMO.
Periodically, I'll just get the itch.
Like, once every couple of years, I'll just be like, man, I want to put like 60 hours into one of these games and just click mindlessly on turtles and stuff until my numbers go up and that's kind of all I want to do.
Sarge?
Uh, so recently, I had some friends down and we did the nerdiest thing possible.
We painted miniatures.
A good friend of mine backed a Kickstarter for Marvel United, a Marvel miniatures game.
And it came, he went crazy.
So he had everybody.
And over the weekend, I got to paint a miniature of Betta Ray Bill, or Beta Ray Bill, however
you want to say it, a space horse Thor.
And one of my favorite characters, because he's so goofy and dumb and awesome, and terrifying
looking because he has a weird, like, skeletal horse head and is a Thor.
But I've gotten back into painting.
I haven't done it for a couple of years and I am excited to keep doing it.
I've been watching a lot of videos lately, looking at techniques and trying out new things.
I think I'm going to paint Dr. Octopus next.
I have him primed and ready.
I am looking forward to meeting and hopefully defeating Hades in the next week or so.
I have been addicted to the game Hades for the past two weeks.
I was playing Roguebook as an addict, and I'd played Hades a little bit, and I was like, oh, it's an arcade game, it's not a deck builder, I'm not sure about it.
And then I went back and tried Hades again, and just crippling addiction.
Just absolutely, like, doing this podcast, I'm, like, getting the shakes.
Just being like, I'm not fighting.
I'm not killing shit.
I'm not getting Zagreus closer to Hades.
I'm not getting him out.
I gotta free that boy!
So I am really loving the fact that I am into that game as much as I am.
And also...
Football tomorrow.
The NFL lives.
My stone cold, red hot lock of the week is the under 52 in the Tampa-Dallas game that's going on tomorrow night.
So I'm going to keep track of that for the year to insult and humiliate myself as I bomb spectacularly week after week, pick after pick.
And I encourage Sarge and Elle to use random instruments of chance to come up with picks.
To humiliate me as they beat me by the end of the week with games.
I asked Sarge to videotape his cat eating from either a bowl of food that has a Chief logo on it or a Browns logo on it for this week's game.
He has yet to do that.
I hope it's some ill-defined point before Sunday that will happen.
And I also hope that Elle will... What is the name of the Mormon angel again?
Moroni.
I'm hoping that El will find a golden coin blessed by Moroni and that he will flip that coin to come up with a winner for this weekend's football games.
And if El goes on a crazy run, we will sell Moroni-infused coins to our listeners so that they can win at sports betting as well.
But yes, just between Hades and football, my cup runneth over with fun and enjoyable things to time sink away on.
Well, there you have it.
And speaking of coins and Hades, it's time for me to reach into this here pouch and pull out enough of these gold coins for me and the boys to pay Karon off to get his fairy ride out of this here Hellworld for the week.
So thank you, everybody, for listening to this week's episode of the Versus in Hellworld podcast.
If you'd like to support the show, you can do so by telling somebody who may not already be listening to it that, hey, maybe they should listen to it if they want to get the skinny on the madness that is Q&A.
If you have a little jingle jangle in your pocket, you'd like to support us even more, you could do so by visiting patreon.com slash pokerpolitics and donating some money to us.
You could do it at as low as $2 a month, but if you donate $5 a month or more, you get access to our slate of bonus material, including various series like Kabbalan, The Foulest Deed, Mike Rades' as of yet unnamed history show, and also the upcoming Sarge's Conspiracy Corner.
If you have money and you don't want to give it to us, you can donate it to love146.org.
They are an organization whose vision is the end of child trafficking and exploitation, and those are their words, so that sounds like a pretty good cause.
We are still two out of five away from donations on our Patreon to unlock a special bonus crossover episode between this year's podcast and a podcast that Sarge and I do called Binge Wordy, where we are going to be watching White Squall.
We're going to be naming that episode where we go We go Squall.
So if we get three more beautifuller babies donated to us at $5 or more, we will unlock that bonus content and you guys will get access to it.
As always, there are some people I have to thank that helped make the show run or have done work for us in the past and will continue to do work for us hopefully in the future, starting with DJ Minimal Effort, who has provided our intro song.
He's still too cool for social media, but we like to give him a shout out anyway because the song continues to rule.
And secondly, we have our buddy Frosty, the voiceover artist, who is the voice of Q when we need him.
But you probably know him as the person who does our smooth content warning and drops every month, or every episode, I should say.
And you can find him on Twitter, at FrostyVO.
Also, as I mentioned before, Sarge and I, we have our side podcast.
It's called Binge Wordy.
We discuss pop media.
This week, we are continuing our Sports-tober episodes.
Last week, we talked about the Sandlot.
And this week, we are going to be talking about Varsity Blues.
I always want to call it Friday Night Lights or Remember the Titans, but it's neither of those better movies.
It's Varsity Blues.
So if you want to join us, you can listen to Binge Wordy.
That's B-I-N-G-E-W-O-R-T-Y.
You can find us on Twitter, at Binge Wordy, spelled the same way.
So, for another successful episode of the Adventures in Hellworld podcast, I have been one of your hosts, Hellworld Elle, joined as always by my co-host, Hellworld Sarge, and our wonderful QAnon expert of all things madness, Mr. Mike Rains.
