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.
I just got off Epstein's jet, and boy are my arms tired.
Waka waka!
And the mysterious L!
Hello, my beautiful babies!
You're listening to Adventures in Hellworld by... This Sunday, Laser Zeppelin at the Planetarium!
You'll buy the whole seat, but you'll need the edge!
Because you'll be on mushrooms!
So, uh, this week, uh, we have news!
Basically, uh, this was one of those things where, like, every day, something else just keeps piling on top of the previous pile, and it was just like, man, this is, this is gonna be, uh, this is gonna be an adventure.
This is gonna be a true adventure through Hellworld, as, as it were.
So, uh, I'm just gonna get right to the content warning, and probably after a very brief bit of small talk, we're gonna get into the news bump.
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.
No minors allowed!
What if I just did the whole podcast like this?
It would definitely be known for that.
It'd be like, man, I remember that part, remember the time Hellworld did the Ghislaine Maxwell trial and Elle just wouldn't break character the whole way?
Did his shock jock voice.
Oh, if only I had known that was the gimmick he was going to go for this week, because then I could have done the, I could have turned the Zencaster bump board into the full zoo crew of the air, the air horn and all the other things, every other like trope that you have on those crews where every, the rim shot, all of it, all, all the standard reaction noises for everything everyone says.
I'm telling you, for bonus content, we just need to do, Hellworld Zoo Crew!
Nice!
Yeah, we review the Q-drops and we just have, like, just everyone reacting to the stereotypical morning crew, like, I can't believe he said that!
Oh, my star is just... Whoa, now wait a minute!
Are you trying to tell me?
Just going everywhere on that stuff, it's so...
Oh man, so we need an air horn, probably like a fart noise or whoopee cushion.
Probably, certainly.
Slide whistle.
Yup, yup.
Slide whistle, yeah.
Sad trombone.
Yup.
All the hits.
Yeah.
We just need to rip off the fake crappy soundboard from, uh...
Crazy Ira, and the douche from Parks and Rec, with that sound clip of some lady just going, be so horny!
It's the cringiest fucking thing.
Constantly plays such believable assholes that it, like, I have a hard time separating him from his characters, and I, like, I have this feeling that I don't like him, but it's just him constantly playing, like, crazy Ira and the Douche, his character from The League, his character that he played on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, just always an asshole, and it's like, man, you're too good at being an asshole.
That's one thing that would be really weird to be in Hollywood and be typecast as an asshole.
They're like, we need an asshole!
Call that guy up!
Okay, I'll be an asshole.
That's how I pay the bills.
Better to get called up for being just a disposable asshole in Hollywood than in the porn community.
Folks!
Now, you see... If we were the zoo crew, the rim shot would have been right there waiting for that.
It's on your soundboard.
Oh, God.
Do we want to talk about a pedophile's trial?
Oh, I think we have to.
I think that's kind of what we exist for.
So let's get into that.
From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News.
So... Yeah, who had her making it alive to trial?
Oh, yeah.
Cash that ticket.
You got, like, plus 180 on the Ghislaine makes it to trial prop bet.
And I'm going to try to get her name right, which I I'm sure I'm gonna brick a million times because I literally, about a half hour before we started this podcast, I saw a wave of people posting on Twitter that it is gematria, not gematria, it's a hard G, and that all us philistines that have been talking about negative 48 have been bricking that, so I will try to get my pronunciations better, but I cannot promise anything because I suck at that.
Cool.
I want all those people to send Sarge audio clips of them pronouncing the most recent Marvel movie, aside from The Eternals, and let's see how many of them get that shit right.
Yeah.
Please don't send me anything.
Send to hellworldsarge, at hellworldsarge on Twitter, all of your audio clips.
Do not care.
I cannot stress this enough.
Not even about the thing I was just talking about, the mispronunciation of Gematria and Marvel movies, but just, you know, just send Sarge audio clips, just talking about life.
Just rambling.
Make that vocaroo count.
Like, get in there.
Sarge's personal mailbag is waiting for your audio clips.
Yeah, that's what I want.
That's what I want now.
It's just for Sarge.
What is going on?
Why are people sending me their list for the grocery store?
Because that's what you exist for now.
People want you as a sounding board.
I made a similar goof to this last week when I was soliciting people to bombard Sarge with conspiracy content.
Just like, you know, just message at hellworldsurge with whatever conspiracies you want to hear him talk about.
Amazon's doing that all for you.
We were talking about, uh, my, because I research and read so many fucking shitty ass conspiracy theory books, my Amazon, like, recommended queue is just Just fucked.
Just boned.
Like, I literally was being recommended, I have it up right now in my window, Skinwalkers at the Pentagon, in an insider's account of the secret government UFO program.
But like, Behind the Pentagon on this book, there's a picture of a wolf.
And I'm just like, what are we talking about?
What?
Yeah, Skinwalker Ranch, just all of God.
So, so fucked.
Because of this goddamn podcast.
Oh god, I guess we have to start talking about Maxwell and the pedophile plane or whatever.
Yeah, you can see how excited we are.
Oh, immediately diverting away from this, but now we're here.
So this is big news and obviously Q cares about it, but isn't this also non-news?
I don't remember any fucking bombshells coming out yet.
Uh, well, the bombshell that came out, uh, was that, and it wasn't really a bombshell, it was just the kind of thing that drives QAnon up a wall, was one of the witnesses that was called to testify early on was a pilot, and the pilot was asked, uh, hey, name some names that were on planes with Epstein, and the guy was like, uh, Prince Andrew, and QAnon was like, yeah!
And then he was like, Bill Clinton, and QAnon was like, yeah!
And then he was like, Donald Trump, and QAnon was like, no!
Fuck you, buddy!
Fuck you!
And, like, oh man, like, did they lose their shit when the pilot was like, oh yeah, Trump was on the planes with them, seen that happen.
And, like, the right wing damage control and QAnon's, like, just aggressive frantic defending of the god emperor kicked into high gear because they had to defend their orange god at all costs.
But there's so many pictures of Trump with Epstein, and Epstein and Maxwell just being at high-level functions.
This isn't... It both is and isn't news.
Like, everybody knew that Trump knew him and, like, is maybe involved with him at some point.
Like, this is the least surprising thing ever.
Yeah, I mean this is not a revelation.
This is just a plot hole in the QAnon narrative and it's also a thing that the people who want Trump to be the nominee and the president elect again in 2024.
Don't want to have to talk about so they have to make it to be that this pilots full of shit It was only I saw someone I think it was Jack Postapec who was like it was only one short flight from Florida to New York Oh, you mean across America?
Like I know I mean, I don't know going north south of America isn't as bad as east west But that's still you're flying across America if you're going from Florida to New York.
Oh Yeah, I mean, it's not like a two and a half or three hour flight, right?
I mean, you can get a lot of underage HGAs or whatever the allegations are were happening on that plane in that time.
Yeah, make no mistake, Hellworld Podcast is not defending the Clintons or anything.
Hang him high if, like, if Bill Clinton is in any way, like, if they can prove anything, just, like, run him on to jail.
Fuck him both.
Oh yeah, I mentioned that on Twitter.
It's so funny that the Luciferian left gives no fucks about Bill Clinton's involvement with Epstein, but the Save the Children right is like, Trump didn't do anything!
What are you talking about?
Also, I hate to be the person to break it up, but just because anyone flew on a plane with a guy, including Donald Trump, does not mean they were paying for underage sex.
Yeah, it cuts both ways.
On top of all the underage sex stuff that I am, like, you know, there are enough strong allegations against him that I'm sure that Jeffrey Epstein was getting into some underage sex trafficking.
That seems like a dunkaroo.
But, like, on top of that, wasn't he also just, like, a rich white dude?
Wouldn't he have frequently just been on, like, planes with people for, like, business and pleasure reasons that might not necessarily have Vin Diagram overlapped with his child prostitution ring?
I mean, the more people you rope into that, the more likely it is that you get dimed out at some point, so...
Yeah, also, he was just an operator.
Like, him and Maxwell were operators.
They moved in the circles of power for obvious reasons.
But also, they knew people, and that means, yeah, maybe Trump just took a ride on their jet.
It all comes back to innocent until proven guilty.
And also, the pilot was further interviewed, and he said, did you see anything happen on the plane?
He was like, no.
So... Oh, yeah, I bet.
Like, Epstein's pilot had a real case of horse blinders.
Like, more than any roommate you ever had, he was just like...
I am flying this plane.
Also, historically, the cockpit to a plane is behind a nice, big, secure door.
I guess in movies, a lot of rich people, like private planes, it's sort of open.
But I feel like if you're Jeffrey Epstein and you're planning on conducting some underage sex business on your plane, you're probably going to want one where there's a tour to the cockpit.
Yeah.
Yeah, so the big thing that QAnon has been freaking out about was that they now want the quote-unquote Epstein flight logs released to the public to try to pill everybody.
And these quote-unquote flight logs that they want everyone to see are nonsense that was created on the internet long before Q ever existed.
And the main one that they like to circulate is this absolute hodgepodge of bullshit.
A person on Twitter, their name is Tripwire, their handle is at Ravie777.
They sent me this this mash-up that basically this old 4chan post of like alleged Hollywood pedophiles, when you overlay it with Isaac Cappy's declaration of who are the pedophiles that he knows in Hollywood, it's like a perfect match.
Like all the names come from one or both of those sources.
And the other thing about this ridiculous list is, as all governmental lists, it's alphabetical by first name and not last name, which makes a lot of sense.
And it also aggressively deviates between Stage name and legal name with different people.
Akon gets both stage name and legal name.
Katy Perry gets both legal name and stage name.
Lady Gaga is only legal name and John Legend is only stage name.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're telling me his name's not John Legend?
I feel like I've been betrayed.
Yeah, but wait.
Lady Gaga?
I'm going to have to go cry to my friend Travis View.
Yes!
Old Travis.
He would never be anything but Travis to us.
Lady Gaga is literally just Stephanie Germain.
I'm going to get her name wrong and you're going to yell at me, guys, so I'm not going to even say it.
It's a very long, last Italian name.
No, give it the old college try.
I'm sure no one will complain, much like our pronunciation of the word Yamatria.
Which I think is how it's supposed to be pronounced, right?
According to those people, the G is supposed to be pronounced like a Y?
Yeah, Yamatria?
Yeah.
No, Geminata?
I don't know.
That was me just absolutely just trying to go for it.
It's a hard G, Mike!
It's Geminata, idiot!
Okay, got it.
But the other thing is that this list is full of misspellings that, again, come from the ancient lists back in the day.
Stephen Colbert is spelled with a V instead of a PH in Stephen.
Oh, M&M!
They go government name on M&M, and he's Marshall Mathers with two T's in Mathers instead of one.
So there's a bunch of mistakes that come directly from the internet, and you can find those lists.
Also, do you need to have a flight list?
This is a genuine question.
Do we know that if you have a private plane, do you need to keep a list of who's riding on it?
Or flying on it?
I don't know that you actually do.
I know that Epstein did have flight logs, but I don't know that there's a legal requirement.
Like, how do you do it?
You would obviously need to clear your air traffic with the people, like, you know, involved, like, air traffic control and, like, the airport and all that shit.
But, like, why would you ever write down the names of the people that you're having on the plane if your point is to, like, it's like that scene from The Wire.
It's just like, yo, are you taking notes on a criminal conspiracy?
Yeah, there were hand-kept notes, but I think that that was kind of part of Epstein's blackmail scheme.
People have said that they knew what he was doing, but they didn't want to rock the boat or anything.
And also, there's the allegation that Epstein had filmed people being with minors as a way to snare them further into his plot.
So at some point, Epstein was like, hey, you were on my plane.
So now you got to kind of listen to what I'm saying here, because you're dirty, you're tainted.
And But I don't think there was legally any requirement for this.
Okay, from quick internet research, you do have to keep a passenger log for a private jet.
They're not made public.
They're not required to be public.
Interesting.
So some super sleuth decided to leak it onto 4chan or whatever, where all the hottest news drops happen.
Boom.
Yeah, and I think I think one of the Oh, yeah, one of the people on this list is Chrissy Teigen because they hate her.
And at this time, she would have she would not have been one of the perpetrators.
She would have been so young at this point, she would have been one of the victims if she had been on the plane.
It's like so ridiculous.
The people that just threw on this thing.
Oh, the Barack Obama is on the plane.
Which is obviously incredibly true.
Is Donald Trump on that list?
No, he's not.
It's so weird.
Conspicuously absent guy who is known through a series of highly profiled photos and videos of interacting with this dude not on his plane ever.
Oh, and they also forgot the C in Barack Obama.
He's Barack Obama on the Epstein flight log, a totally official QAnon list.
Yeah, this seems like when you get a scam email and there's stuff that's misspelled so they can weed out the people that are actually smart.
Oh yeah, exactly.
They put these misspellings in here to just test your bullshit detector.
To just see if you catch on to the fact that they're just feeding you bullshit.
So the Maxwell trial has started.
Do we know what she's actually charged with?
Surely we know, but do you have...
Oh yeah, she has four accusers and she's being charged with the sexual abuse of those people, of those accusers.
She is also going to be tried in a separate court case for perjury in other court cases that she had testified in.
And because this is literally just about her and just about these cases, that's why QAnon was freaking out about this for like one day.
And then the whole Trump on the plane thing came out, and they had to freak out and start spinning the defense.
And I actually saw a bunch of people talking about how this whole trial is a ship, that Maxwell's Cut some secret deal to not implicate any of her clients like the Clintons or anybody else and all this kind of stuff when she was never going to implicate anybody in this trial.
Like that's what you do when you're a witness and you're cooperating and you're trying to get a lighter sentence.
This public trial Everyone who has talked about what's going to happen, they've all said it's just going to be a he-said-she-said, where the accusers say that Maxwell set them up, that they were assaulted by Epstein after Maxwell groomed them, that she was the one that led them into this life that led to Epstein abusing them, that Maxwell herself may have abused them, and her lawyers are going to say, hey, they were into it!
They all consented to it, now they just have to make a buck!
And so it's just gonna be your standard like sleazy rape trial is all it's going to be where the victims give their testimony and then the defense attorney is like, yeah, but you can send it really didn't you?
I mean, whatever.
So that That's all this is going to be.
So QAnon's not going to get their dopamine hit from any of the testimony in this thing.
Because it's just going to be ugly, horrible, sad stuff where these people are on the stand breaking down, testifying to their abuse, and then being just attacked by a cross-examination that's basically going to be, you're lying about all this shit, aren't you?
Just admit it.
Admit you're bullshitting.
Yeah, this is, it's all gonna be gross.
I'm glad QAnon's having fun.
I mean, god, it's such a nightmare.
Every time I think something new, every time I thought something had come up that would nail Trump into a coffin, it didn't.
And now it's just like, he has so many pictures just tying him with Epstein and it just It really doesn't seem like it's going to matter.
Oh, don't worry.
He's also got like a dozen photos of himself being palin' around with Maxwell.
If you thought he wasn't also palin' around with Maxwell, then I'm here to dissuade you of that notion.
Oh yeah.
They were Trump's too.
When he was president, he said he wished her well at the trial.
He was like, hey, we'll see what happens to her.
I wish her well.
I hope things shake out good for her.
And QAnon was all like, oh, he has to say that because he's the president.
He doesn't want to take the jury pool with his comments or anything.
As if Trump had ever stayed his tongue in any other situation ever while president.
Also, I guess she took some sort of weird professional model photo shoot, like an American flag bikini or whatever, for some publication?
I don't know, man.
Recently, or just like years ago?
I don't know.
I was just looking up, just for a lark, I was looking up all the times that Trump had been photographed with Epstein or Maxwell, and it like, you know.
It came up, it was just like, oh, do you want to see Ghislaine Maxwell, or however you pronounce her name, bikini shoot?
And I was just like, why is it autofilling this or whatever?
I clicked on it because I just thought she was some random socialite.
I didn't know that she was a model or whatever.
Or, you know, I was just like, was she a model?
And then so I clicked on it and I was just like, this is weird.
I don't know anything about this woman, aside from the fact that apparently she helped traffic minors for Powerful men across the world.
And maybe women.
Who knows?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, this is a bummer.
Let's talk about something else that is also a bummer.
Yeah, well, the one last thing I was gonna say about this is that... Nope.
The first 30 minutes is on Maxwell.
Lock it in.
No, no, no, no.
This is done very quickly.
It's just that QAnon had said this was the center of their universe, like...
The start of the trial happened and then Marilyn Manson's house got broken into
in an investigation into his sexual assault. Jack Dorsey resigned from Twitter. All this like,
they know, yeah, it's all connected. They literally think the entire world was waiting
for this trial to start. And now the patriots are making their move to take back humanity
from the deep state. And it's like, doesn't that give the cabal like a massive heads up?
Didn't they say her trial was going to start on this date, like, five months ago?
If I was, like, big cabal hotshot, wouldn't I have, like, flown to a country that doesn't have extradition back to America and just waited this week out in that country for the trial?
Because this is when I know the patriots are going to strike because they operate their entire system of justice around a movie where the third act is just a climactic scene where everyone gets arrested at the same time.
It's such a childish way to view the world.
It's the pounding on the cork board.
It's all connected and it's not.
Marilyn Manson's been suspected and charged with sexual assault for years now.
And I guess they're just finally getting around to it.
Yeah, it's a nightmare.
What awful thing do we want to talk about next, Al?
Well, I mean, I'm sort of confused as to why we didn't lead off with the most recent Grifter Wars saga.
We dove into the murkiest of waters, where it's just like, at the top of the show?
Unreached sex trafficking!
Let's go!
And I was just like, alright, I'm in for this ride, I suppose.
And now we're almost 30 minutes into recording and it's just like, we should probably talk about one of our dozen other headlines for the week.
Yeah, give me, uh, give me Grifter Wars or Positive 48.
Positive 48, goddamnit.
Well, we're doing Grifter Wars.
Grifter Wars is more fun.
I'm reading, to the listeners, I'm reading our show notes and L usually juices them up.
And so, uh, I am like reading so much teleprompter and I read whatever you put in front of me.
Yeah, so yeah, Grifter Wars with a Q. Yeah, so the Lin Wood versus Michael Flynn versus everybody saga took a crazy turn because Lin Wood has decided that he's going to reveal to everybody that he's been taping a lot of the phone conversations he's been having with the other grifters.
Love it.
Yeah, so he recorded a conversation with Patrick Byrne, the Overstock guy, where Byrne made all these comments about how Sidney Powell accused him of poisoning her and date raping her, and he didn't know where that was coming from.
And basically, Lin is just trying to stoke as much drama and as much controversy out of everybody that he can.
Because he's still really upset about the fact that Kyle Rittenhouse called him a bad person.
I just love that, like, this whole thing broke down because Tuck Tuck and Kyle Rittenhouse had a conversation, and Kyle was like, yeah, Lin Wood sucks, he's a bad person, I don't like him.
And that was it.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back in Lin's Little World.
And So, Lin, having gone after everybody, then decided to train his fire on basically the second most important and beautiful person in the QAnon universe, and that's Michael Flynn.
And he started talking, because they've had an argument over what candidate should be endorsed in the Georgia governor race, because Flynn kind of wants the crazy alternative to Kemp, and Lin Wood wants the super crazy alternative to Kemp, and they've been fighting over that, and then when Flynn didn't rally to defend Lin Wood from Rittenhouse, that got Lin all upset, and apparently they had a phone call, they had a heart-to-heart,
And this is the clip that's been circling around, circulating around the internet,
because in this clip, uh, Flynn is just like, QAnon?
I don't know what the fuck that shit is, which goes contrary to Flynn's entire
massive grifting scheme with QAnon.
So here, let's, let's listen to these two, these two cats chatting.
The QAnon movement really is a movement that spun out of your digital soldiers.
I'm tired of these QA9 people attacking me.
Maybe, I don't know that.
But you know some of them.
I think it's a disinformation campaign.
I think it's a disinformation campaign that the CIA created.
That's what I believe.
I don't know that for a fact, but that's what I think it is.
I think it's a disinformation campaign.
There's actually a very interesting article today.
out that was sent to me. I'll send it to you about how the QAnon movement has failed and all that.
But I find it total nonsense and I think it's a disinformation campaign created by the left
and the types of people that can create something like that are the kinds of people that we train
for certain, you know, with certain skills in the CIA.
I'm aware the CIA does programs where they'll give you 75% of the truth and wrap it in a package
that makes you look crazy to demean the truth they gave you.
And I've always assumed that Q, as it originally started, may have been a white hat.
operation that got in effect kidnapped by the black hats or is either a black hat or a white hat. I don't know. I don't
care.
What Q stood for initially, I've always believed. I've always believed, one, there were Q drops. I never really
understood them, didn't look at them.
But I understood what Q stood for. And one of the things that I feel like I'm trying to do here for myself in terms
of That's... yeah.
I believe the only issue that's before this country right now that's of primary importance
is to investigate the communist effort to steal our presidency.
Wow.
That's, yeah.
I love the whole thing.
There was a lot there, which isn't surprising because the clip was a thousand hours long.
Yeah.
Uh, but yeah, holy shit.
That is a lot to digest.
Okay, um, who's speaking the more clear one?
Which one's that?
Uh, the first guy talking is Lin Wood, and the second guy talking was General Flynn.
The guy that said that- Yeah, the guy that was talking about, like, the CIA protocols for people that quote-unquote we trained is Michael Flynn, and the guy who sounds like an old-timey Southern lawyer is, unsurprisingly, old-timey Southern lawyer, uh, Lin Maywell Miranda.
Yes!
Oh no!
No, not him!
I can't lose Lin!
So, my favorite thing about that, everyone's been talking about the shit that Flynn was saying about QAnon being bullshit, but my favorite thing is the end of that when Lin Wood is just like, I've heard there are QDrops, I've never read them, I don't know nothing about nothing.
I just love the fact that he was just like, I just got into QAnon because it was making me a buck.
I don't know shit about QAnon.
Yeah, that's...
That's quite damning.
That has to, that had to break some dumb Q hearts.
Yeah, Usland would be like, I've never read a Q drop.
These people don't give a fuck.
They literally give no fucks about, like, they prop somebody up, and then until somebody else they've propped up decides to knock that person down, everything is Gucci with them, regardless of their actual behavior.
Like, remember that time when they were talking about the China bioweapon?
The Tricom bioweapon.
It was happening.
And then Donald Trump was just like, yeah, that vaccine is sick.
You should take it.
And they were just like, boo!
Boo!
And then the next day they were just like, man, we love Trump.
Can't get enough of it.
Yeah, we love Trump.
Oh man.
That's my favorite thing is when QAnon is like, we're not a cult.
We won't listen to Trump on vaccines.
And it's like, do you still want to be president?
Yes.
So you want the guy that's telling you to take a vaccine that will kill you to be president.
They're like, yeah.
And I'm like, so you're not in a cult?
Like if I thought someone was running for president on a platform of, I will kill you, I wouldn't vote for them.
That's just me and my non-cult mindset.
Shut up.
That don't matter.
Nothing matters.
Hush up, little girl.
Lots of cats have that name.
And also, for what it's worth, it's something that gets swept under the rug, I guess, a lot.
COVID happened under Trump's watch.
His ass was still in the seat when it dropped.
Like, he was the president when COVID debuted its hot new single, COVID-19.
And then he passed that horrible book off to Sleepy Joe.
And then had to come out and just be like, hey, vaccines are great.
You should take this vaccine because if enough of you die, Republicans can't win elections anymore.
So you need to take this vaccine.
Yeah, that is, the numbers are really showing.
Red counties are just, they're just dying.
That's what's happening.
I have no opinion on this because I take saloutanol.
That is- Yes, yeah.
I've medicated up to the eyes on my sellout meds, so I have no opinion about the people dying- Saloutanol.
Quote tragically unquote from COVID.
Like that religious pastor guy who had his radio network talking about how the vaccine was a tool for the devil.
Well, COVID-19, your tool of God, has brought you to his warm embrace, so congrats.
You really did it, fam.
You took God's free ticket to heaven.
I'm excited for you, bud.
It's everything you ever wanted.
God's free ticket to heaven.
As briefly as possible, take us through the Grifters.
This is Disney, Marvel, Civil War, Grifter Wars 2, 3, I don't know how many Grifter Wars there have been.
Who's the Captain America and who's the Iron Man of the Grifter Wars?
So, well, the Captain America and the Iron Man are Lin Wood and Michael Flynn.
Basically, all the QAnon people have divided themselves into three camps.
Camp 1 is Team Lin, Camp 2 is Team Flynn, and Camp 3 is, this is all just fake.
It's all an illusion.
Mommy and Daddy truly still love each other, and they're not going to get a divorce, and we're all going to live in one house and be together.
Camp 3 is the kid who goes in his room and turns up the radio so he doesn't have to hear mom and dad fighting?
Yes, yes.
Because there are people that are saying, look, the only thing that makes sense is that Trump is still the president and all the people that are telling us that are working together.
They can't be fighting.
This fighting doesn't make sense.
And, like, they're wrong, because these people are grifters, and they're just all out to make a buck and build their brands, and if they have to step on each other, they're gonna do so.
So like the, the, the team Lynn people are like QAnon, John and Savage Dog.
And.
Um, the, the, the people that are not based, it's really weird.
Cause QAnon, John wants to have everybody go to his conferences.
Cause he just wants to sell tickets and make money.
Cause he's just in this for a scam.
So he wants the quote-unquote serious QAnon people like Praying Medic and Jordan Sather and all those guys.
He wants everyone to be one big happy family.
But Sather and IET and the people that are in what's the group is called We The Media.
They now hate Lynn even more than they've ever hated him before. And now they're 100% behind Michael Flynn, even
though Michael Flynn is on tape saying QAnon is a CIA disinformation campaign and it's bullshit. And I don't
believe in it. It's nonsense. I mean, the fact that Flynn just
shit all over their movement and they have to pretend he didn't is so funny. They're like, I'm backing my dog in the
race and my dog fucking hates me and has literally spit in my
But because Lin Wood is a weirdo who we can't wrangle and control, and we know Michael Flynn is in it for the money.
Like, he signs books with the WWG1, WWGA when people go up to him.
So they know that Flynn's a team player.
They know Flynn's in on the scam.
And the only reason why he said that shit was because he didn't know he was being recorded saying that shit.
He would never publicly, he would never publicly say that.
Or maybe the only reason he's citing books like that is because he loves White Squall.
This is true, this is true, yeah.
And if you want to hear our opinions about White Squall, you can go to patreon.com slash poker politics.
Oh man, careful you don't hurt yourself on that sick-ass ad pivot.
Oh man, that's the niche I've carved for myself in this podcast is I'm the funny liberal guy that is constantly just trying to sell out, please give me your money, I'm tired of being poor.
We want to do this full-time.
I'm liberal enough to hate billionaires until the moment I become one and then I want my tax break, please
Yeah You want to be the okay boomer bernie girl who like was
like showing off her million dollar uh apartment that she got from all the guys that like just
bought into her thirst trap and just gave her money Yeah, I mean, that's the dream.
I mean, that's my goal.
Man, I can't wait for, like, I was about to say I can't wait, but it's, like, I'm gonna be dead by then.
So I guess it sucks that by the time my doughy body shape comes around to being the it thing where I could just post on Insta and get a million dollar apartment, I'll be, like, it sucks that I'll be long dead by then.
I support the fat, doughy white men of the future that just get to post thirst traps of their giant, massive bellies for a hell of dough.
Live on my fat brothers.
Yeah.
I salute you.
As your forefather for the past, if you're listening to this recording, I salute you.
Get that money.
Yes!
I hope to someday be famous enough to be canceled for something I said 10 years ago.
That's my goal.
That's where I want to be.
I'm pulling for you, Sarge.
I'm hoping you can live that dream.
So yeah, so all of the, the funniest thing is like all the major grifters actually now openly hate each other.
Uh, they, they had a running, uh, series of arguments over whose sham audit was more shammy and more scammy.
And the funny thing about this is, is that like literally everybody had a sham audit and had a sham, um, Everyone had a grift that they were working at some point during the Arizona audits.
There were like four different competing scam audits that Byrne, Linwood, Flynn, and Sidney Powell all had operating opposite of each other.
And now Sidney Powell's audit scam is under federal investigation.
So that's how- Didn't I read on Twitter that Powell got roped into this because somebody was just like, oh yeah, she's totally thirsty for me.
She wants my bone.
I think that was- that was Byrne.
That was Byrne talking about how- Excuse me?
Yeah, he was talking about how she was like hitting him up and coming on to him and When he rebuked her advances and she claimed that he had drugged her and date-raped her.
So, it seems like a lot of the scuttlebutt from the dudes in these Lin Wood tapes is that Sidney Powell is a party girl.
She's out here to just have a good time.
Everybody else is in the QAnon to make a buck.
She's here to meet dudes.
And that's super weird that this is what they're talking about in the QAnon locker room, as it were.
Okay, man, this is... I mean, have you seen Sidney Powell?
Like, wouldn't any man melt in front of her charms?
Yeah.
I think my favorite part about this installment of Grifter Wars is that it is merely one front in what has been a wild week of crazy infighting just across the spectrum.
Because on the one hand, we have this, like, Linwood, Byrne, Sidney Powell, fuckin' horseshit.
And then on another front, we have Marjorie Taylor Greene scrappin' it out with this Senator Mace?
Is that her last name?
Macy?
Yeah, Nancy Mace, she's a representative.
And that's actual people in elected office deciding that it's time to get at each other.
And they have had this public spat and Marjorie claims, I don't know how accurate this is, but she claims that Trump is also okay with Mace having a primary challenger come after her.
But Marjorie's all in on, I want someone to primary Nancy Mace.
I don't like her.
I want her out of the house now.
Somebody primary her and get rid of her.
And Mace's response, talking about Marjorie Taylor Greene, was to say, quote, bless her fucking heart.
Wow.
As someone who lived in Texas, that's pretty fucking savage.
Yeah.
So they're getting at each other to the point where GOP minority leader Kevin McCarthy tried to rein them in and Marjorie basically just walked out of the meeting, was like, nope, you're not the boss of me.
You can't control me.
I'm going to do whatever I want.
I don't care.
There has actually been our media, which lives only to have a timer to drop the article that reads headline Democrats in disarray.
Our media has slowly stirred to life to say there are some Republicans out there who are getting a little worried that this whole QAnon versus generic Republican grifter infighting could jeopardize their 2022 efforts to reclaim the House.
Fuck it right on, brother!
Succulent.
That's not how you say it.
Say it right.
But the thing that's so awesome about this is that I've been talking about this for forever, that you're gonna have Republican primaries where you're gonna have the frothing QAnon maniac running against the boring Republican establishment grifter.
And when the QAnon maniac loses, they're not going to admit that they lost.
They're going to say that the Republican won due to dominion and vote rigging and ballot
stuffing and George Soros shipped in the ballots from the boats that sailed from North Korea
to Maine and all that kind of stuff.
You've talked about it on this show.
We've talked about it with MTG and how she she is the prototype for this move.
And how are they going to deal with it in the future?
They have to recognize these, these wild dogs that are like setting upon the party.
Right.
Allen West and Vernon in Georgia.
These guys are running QAnon campaigns.
I mean, Allen West is going to lose.
I think Greg Abbott's pretty safe in that primary.
But let's say that Allen West gets like 15-20% of the vote.
And then when it's over, he's like, Abbott didn't beat me!
That's bullshit!
This thing was rigged!
Are the people that voted for West in the primary going to turn out for Abbott in the general?
I mean, they hate Beto O'Rourke, so they might out of just like sheer vote for the lesser kind of evil strategic voting.
But there could be a bunch of them that are like, no, fuck it.
My boy Alan West got jobbed by Abbott, who stole the election from him with ballot fraud.
So no, I ain't voting in the general election.
You guys can go to hell.
And as well, they should.
As I've always said to my Republican friends that are listening to this podcast, all votes are rigged and you shouldn't participate in them.
Oh, yeah.
Just stay at home.
Let your voice be known on Twitter.
Twitter is the laboratory of democracy, and that's where your voice actually will reach out to the world.
The ballot box?
Stay away from that.
It's rigged.
It's bad.
You're just giving the deep state the veneer of legitimacy by showing up and wasting your time casting that ballot that obviously won't count.
So, yeah, don't vote.
That is the Adventures in the Hellworld official stance to Republicans who believe in QAnon.
Don't vote because it's rigged.
Speaking of the veneer of... I can't even remember what you said.
Mike Rades has got this cool thing about him where right when you think that he's done talking, there's more talking.
Sometimes it's hard to get in there with your cool segues.
Speaking of bullshit, let's get on our own bullshit and admit that, you know, Just because we're liberals, just because we're dis-info people, it doesn't mean that we're immune from a little infighting in our own backyard.
And it would be sort of hypocritical of us not to talk about our own little dust-up that's happening this week.
Even though it goes contrary to my selling-out goals, because sub-listeners might be on Team J-Stew, and they might be bummed out that we have to talk about Jim Stewartson.
Getting banned from Twitter and the Hornet's Nest of bullshit that kicked up.
Run through this because I missed all this.
I did not follow this particular adventure and I've seen you posting about it, but I wasn't able to follow this one.
Do you know who Jimmy Stew is?
Do you know who this guy is?
Have you been following him at all?
No, I don't know who this guy is at all.
Okay, so Jim runs a group called the Thinkin' Project, which is a riff off the Lincoln Project, because when I want to associate myself with a brand, it's a brand of grifting Republicans who are pioneering the Democrats to make a buck.
But Jay Stew's whole thing is trying to come up with this massive Enterprise that's going to bring down QAnon and save people.
And the back end of that, the whole saving people thing sounds awesome, but actually coming up with the apparatus for that kind of operation, where you actually get people out of the QAnon cult and reintegrate them back into normal society, that's something that's a Herculean task I can't even begin to think about.
But the real problem with what Stewart has been doing is that Stewart is adamant that Russia is behind QAnon, period.
End of story.
Like, if you don't believe that, if you don't believe that Michael Flynn, working on behalf of Vlad Putin and other operatives there, was starting this thing, and that Ron and Jim Watkins have been bought off by the Russians, and that Russia is behind this stuff, and oh yeah, Thomas Schoenberg, he's also a Russian agent working on this stuff, If you don't believe their origin story for QAnon, you're basically a disinformation agent and a bad actor and someone who is helping to further QAnon's evil tentacles into the world.
Probably his most infamous stunt, at least from my casual observation, being very lightly on the outskirts of all of this horseshit, was coming at Mike Rothschild mad hard.
Oh yeah, he was a Russian operative, and then he had several Russian, like, burner email accounts and all this shit.
Yeah.
The guy who wrote THE book on QAnon.
Yeah.
Or one of THE books.
Oh yeah, he wrote this very important book.
He's been a debunker the whole time.
Hashtag Team Rothschild.
Both Mike and the people that sign our paychecks.
That he was claiming that Mike was in bed with the QAnon promoters and that he was a controlled opposition and that he quote-unquote had the emails to prove this and Mike was like, please show do it release him like Expose me for the fraud that I am and and Jim never did that and of course he didn't because he doesn't have email So that's not a real thing.
It doesn't exist and And my biggest run-in with that group was one of his acolytes, when Vice did that incredibly shitty three-part documentary on QAnon, where they were just like, we don't know who Q is, but we're going to try to figure it out.
And they were like interviewing Dustin Nemos and just giving all these shitheads a platform to spout their bullshit.
Uh, I, like, just said that that documentary sucked and that they were platforming, uh, Robert, uh, Steele, who is awful and you shouldn't do that.
And no one should care about that guy anyways.
And this guy who, uh, recently posted an article on Medium that when you clicked on it said, and I quote, 63 minute read.
He was just like, would you like a book on like Substack or Medium or whatever this is?
Here you go.
Have a book.
Enjoy reading that.
And that guy is just obsessed with Russia being behind this all and all these things, and when I made my comments about that Vice documentary, he came at me and was like, look, man, I've told you only to do one thing, and that's not, like, dismiss Robert Steele and these other people who are obviously, like, behind- in Schoenberg.
You have to admit that they're serious and a part of QAnon.
And I'm like, no, I don't have to admit that.
I don't have to do what you tell me to do.
My timeline is my timeline.
I can say whatever I want on it.
And this guy's like, no man, you're hurting the movement by doing this.
You need to stop doing it now.
And I'm like, okay, block button, click, boom, bye.
Not talking to you anymore.
Because I'm allowed to say that Thomas Schoenberg is an idiot who loves attention.
And getting into Cicada 3301 is nonsense and distracts from the whole QAnon thing.
And figuring out who started QAnon is meaningless anyways.
That genie left the bottle a long time ago.
I don't care who trapped the genie in the bottle.
I don't care who made the bottle.
It's all bullshit.
Fuck it.
Let's talk about the damage it's doing to society.
Because that's massive.
So this guy is, like, the quintessential blue-anon, blue-pilled, like... So my biggest problem with him, right, like, is I didn't check out a lot of his content.
I certainly didn't follow him on Twitter.
And the main reason I didn't follow him on Twitter is because...
He carries himself like his online persona is like this hard disinfo motherfucker like oh yeah like I'm the alpha male Chad of disinfo or whatever and every single thing I read by the guy like based exclusively on the way he chose to present himself on the internet Made him seem like a fascist wearing a disinfo costume.
Like, he just talked and carried himself exactly the way all these, like, hard fuckin' right-wingers fuckin' roll call, yeah, down with, you know, down with fuckin' Biden, you know, hang him high or whatever.
But he would just, like, take Sharpie pen, cross out Biden, write Republican's name, good, cool, and then like, ah, okay, the script is now perfect.
I have changed a couple of key phrases.
And it's just like, well, you still have all of the energy of a douchebag, so I don't want to be on the same team as you for that reason.
Like, I don't want people to just be like, oh yeah, Hellworld Al, he's on that show, Adventures in Hellworld, which is a strong disinfo podcast in the vein of Jim Stewartson.
It's just like, no, I don't want to be associated with that guy because he seems sort of like a piece of shit.
He might have good points, like he might be doing good work, but you could write trans women are women on your hand and punch me in the face with it, and I would just be like, oh, what an incredible message, but I could really do without the punch.
Like, just tell me the message without the shitty part of it, please.
You know what I mean?
Is he a broken clock situation?
See, I'm not sure how often he's right, because I don't want to receive his information, because the way he presents it is in this fucking Chadley douchebag manner.
So, when I heard that he got suspended from Twitter, my initial reaction was not just like, it's a miscarriage of justice, but rather, yeah, it was only a matter of time, the way that guy carries himself, like, was definitely going to get him deplatformed at some point.
And then he got deplatformed for a crack about saying that, who was it?
Was it Joe Rogan as Michael Flynn's GIMP or something like that?
Yeah, that was it, yeah.
Okay, I did see this.
He said that Joe Rogan was Michael Flynn's GIMP.
And he got deplatformed for that because, according to Twitter, it violated their TOS against hate speech against marginalized groups or whatever.
And then he came back and he was just like, that's not how I meant it.
I meant GIMP as in a stupid or foolish person.
And it was just like, Dog, Mike Rothschild's got your receipts if you follow him on Twitter, which I do, I think.
He has the evidence of you literally posting previously, like, where you were just like, clarification, but like, Flynn and Rogan are in like a submissive gay sex relationship or whatever, picture of guy in leather fetish gear.
It was just like, Like, if anybody bothered to have receipts of the guy, which Mike Rothschild, for obvious reasons, did, then it turns out, uh, it's pretty obvious that you meant what you clearly meant.
You were just like, oh yeah, like, and for the almighty algorithm, please take note, this is me doing an impersonation of this bad person.
and not a personal opinion of mine. But it was obvious that he was just like, oh yeah,
Joe Rogan likes to take it up the bum for Michael Flynn in a gay sex way. And then you can't get mad
when Twitter's just like, yeah, man, using that as an insult is a violation of our terms of service.
Because it is. It transparently is. Now, I do think Joe Rogan gives disinformation
from a number of sources and seems to believe literally anything anyone tells him.
So, there you go.
There are tons and tons of ways, like, to express the fact that you think that Joe Rogan is subservient to Michael Flynn without taking it to a gay sex place.
Like, it is 2021.
When you pull a move like that, it's really obvious.
Like, you can't, like, throw a smoke bomb and make everybody magically think that you were just like, oh, he just means that Joe Rogan is stupid.
Well, then why not just say, yo, Joe Rogan is stupid?
Or, yo, Joe Rogan is subservient to Michael Flynn?
No!
You like, went ahead and just needed to massage that a little way to just be like, I need to give this more of my signature J-Stew energy!
And how do I do that?
Oh, right!
I'm gonna say that they're gay sex partners!
Like, that's a bad thing?
Better, better way to do this.
Joe Rogan is Michael Flynn's Renfield.
Like, that's a literary reference.
And you can show that he is his evil little minion.
And that's, like, way better.
And there's so many better ways to do this.
Don't violate Twitter's TOS.
Yeah, so I'm not saying Jimmy Stewart here isn't, uh, isn't right, like, about stuff.
I'm not saying that he's not fighting the disinfo, like, you know, wars.
Nor am I saying that he is.
I can't stress this enough.
I did not follow the guy because he seemed like a piece of shit to me.
One man's opinion did not like the man, did not keep up with him.
Uh, but there is a chance that he's got, like, you know, there is a chance that he's got the shape of the maze, but he's just very bad at walking through it, in the sense that he wants to drive through it rolling coal on a motorcycle that's noisy enough to wake up all the neighbors because he's just a douchebag.
And I didn't need that sort of energy in my life, so I thought it was hilarious watching everybody fall into two camps of being like, I know who that guy is, fuck that guy, and I know who that guy is, this is a miscarriage of judgment, get Kathy Griffin to tweet, hashtag free Jim Stewartson!
And it's just like, holy shit.
Yeah, that was seeing Kathy Griffin randomly weigh in on this.
Because Kathy Griffin, randomly, in the weeds on QAnon, she made a reference to QTah, like this, like, in the last week or two.
And I think Dapper Gander, like, jumped in with a reply to her, and he got a follow from Kathy Griffin.
So, like, So, like, Gabby Griffin's, like, dipping her toe into the debunker world, and unfortunately, she found Stewartson before she found, like, the people that don't, uh, like, get mad at you when you don't believe in their, uh, your version of the origin story.
Like, one of the last times I interacted with him, I just made a comment about how I don't think Russia is behind QAnon, and he replied to me and said that this tweet will age poorly.
Because he was just so- Oh, I saw- Yeah.
I saw you post that.
Okay.
Yeah, he was just so adamant about that.
One day he will be vindicated and QAnon will be exposed as a Russian plot, period.
Why couldn't she have found us first?
I don't have any beef with Kathy Griffin.
She's a red-headed comedian who at age 60 was flashing her tits at Miami Beach or whatever to celebrate her 60th birthday on her Twitter feed or whatever.
That's the sort of energy I'm here for.
Yeah, we would gladly have her on the show.
Yeah, I would have her on the show.
I would like to have a cup of coffee with her and pick her brain about the industry.
Like, you know, I got no beef with Kathy Griffin because I don't know a ton about her.
But what I do know is that she decided to tweet the free gym stewardship thing.
And it's just like, do you really need to get into it?
And like, how about you just retweet Mr. Rothschild?
Or, you know, how about you retweet and follow 2021 Karma or us?
Or, you know, just people, like, maybe not even me.
Maybe people think that the energy I bring to the quote-unquote movement, which is a term that I am not affixing to myself, I am not part of a movement, I am a dude who makes a podcast.
Like, you know, I hope that the podcast is helpful for some people, but a part of a movement I am not.
We are two guys that support a guy who is strong in the movement, and we're here to help his ideas go forward.
I am the halt to their two barns for those people who were in the ancient magic community in the Massachusetts area back in the day.
But yes.
Yeah, but what I'm getting at is just like if people don't like like the energy I bring to all of my cracks about selling out and why it means I can't talk about like being thankful that people are I totally get it.
I'm not for everybody.
That's fine.
But I just wish that if somebody with a platform the size of Kathy Griffiths was going to be throwing their hat into the ring endorsing somebody in the disinfo movement...
Why Jim?
Like, come on!
There's so many more benign people with, like, bigger platforms than him that, like, you could be throwing your support behind.
Yeah, I mean, if you're gonna do, like, the people that are not on TV all the time, then Travis Viewer, Mike Rothschild.
If you are gonna do people that get on TV, Ben Collins and Will Sommer.
I mean, those are the blue checkmarks.
Marc-Andre Argentino.
Those are the people that are, like, doing the hard work that have blue checkmarks.
Also, on a personal note, Kathy, if you're listening to this, when I saw the headline that said Kathy Griffin topless at 60, I smashed it!
I could not wait to click that link!
No.
Also, on a personal note, Kathy, if you're listening to this, when I saw the headline
that said Kathy Griffin topless at 60, I smashed it.
I could not wait to click that link.
I needed to see what that was about.
You make a list of what you will, but I clicked on that immediately.
Will this clip age poorly?
I don't know.
It'll age as good as my tweet that was about QAnon not being based out of Russia.
So, yeah.
Yeah, no, I absolutely don't believe that for a second.
I believe Russia loves it, loves it, when America is, like, stumbling, like, tying its own shoelaces together.
Oh, yeah.
Like, one to another.
Just, man.
Also, there's no way that this clip ages poorly, because you know who else isn't aging poorly?
Kathy Griffith!
She looks great!
She looks great!
She looks great for her age!
She's keeping it tight.
It's fine.
She looks better.
She looks better at 60 than I ever have.
Can you imagine?
Yes.
Okay.
Get on this podcast.
We'll show you the world.
We can show you the world of disinfo.
Yeah.
To summarize, Kathy Griffin, great.
Jay Stu, a big piece of shit.
Just a huge piece of shit.
Well, look, there are some people that might love him that might also support our Patreon, so I'm not going to take such a hardline stance against him.
I'm going to say that I wish he carried himself better on Twitter, so that way I could get to his nuggets of, like, truth that he's trying to get to.
And also, on a personal note, based on doing the podcast for a year and other investigations into QAnon stuff, I'm pretty sure it's not a Russian PSYOP.
Because in a lot of the ways, it really just seems to be damaging the conservative brand.
It's sort of like all the conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 being a bio-weapon.
Yeah, China made this bioweapon and then decided to test it by dropping it on their own people first.
They were just like, sick!
It works!
Millions of Chinese dead or whatever, so good!
Now deployed in America!
It's a Russian PSYOP if Russian PSYOPs love Rei Ayanami.
It's a Russian PSYOP because Russians clearly love- they're just like, we need to give the Democrats some juice.
Let's go ahead and make a fascist splinter faction of Republicans and have them start fucking brawling with each other just ahead of the 2022 elections.
Bleeding votes.
If I end up being wrong about that, I will eat all the crow on the planet.
I will happily follow Jim on Twitter if he gets reinstated and post an image of me eating a crow.
Yeah, we will come wag you hat in hand and then eat it.
Is eating your hat, is that a saying?
I get what you were going for.
But the way you aligned the words for that sentence, the word come and the word wagyu hat were just way too close together and it made me uncomfortable.
That's what we're all here for, to make you uncomfortable.
Over the course of two sentences, you painted a very evocative picture of our boy Roddy Watts.
You mentioned the statue, you said come, and then you said wagyu hat, and I disassociated.
I think my spirit has left my body.
No, no, we're coming, coming, coming hard.
I'm gonna repeat it three times.
Comedy comes in threes.
Now I said it four times.
It's not funny anymore.
We're gonna bring our Wagyu hat in hand and then eat it.
When this is clearly DOS, DOS spy op.
But the hat is really tall, and it might not make it through your front door.
So we will be coming through your back door.
Straight through it.
Yeah.
And Jay Stu's already back on Twitter, just in case you were worried.
Oh my god, he got freed!
Kathy Griffin, you did it!
Yes!
Saved him.
Yeah, Kathy's got pull in this joint.
I bet he's learned a lesson and is probably posting diplomatically now.
It's great.
He's also on Sellout and all.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Jim, Jim, his like immediate post was that all of you people who were like, like, were trampling on my graveyard, you're all gonna be, you're all gonna be like, paybacks coming.
Like this is gonna, you're gonna find out that I'm not, I'm not one to be messed with.
So yeah.
Yeah.
I got banned from Twitter and then Jack Dorsey stepped out.
Coincidence?
I think not.
Hashtag Blueanon.
Okay, cool.
Good stuff.
Jason was back on Twitter and immediately he's just like, you guys need to remember how fucking hard I am.
Look at these abs.
I'm like a Chinese soldier.
While I was banned from Twitter, I was studying the blade.
I have to issue an Adventures in Hellworld correction on this thing because I'm going through Jay Stew's timeline right now.
Joe Rogan was Steve Bannon's gimp.
He was not Michael Flynn's gimp.
It's hard for me to keep all... I mean, he calls so many people stupid, dim-witted people.
It's just like, who can keep it up?
He's like, Steve Bannon and Joe Rogan is a stupid, weak person to Steve Bannon!
Yeah, okay.
That's what that was supposed to be.
Anyway, I feel like we've sort of belabored this point a little bit.
Good for Jim for getting back on Twitter.
I mean, you know, if he's on the right side, I hope he continues to do good work.
I just think that he should try to put that in a package that's a little more palatable for people.
Like, when Mike Rades was doing a QAnon podcast, at some point he was just like, you know, I could use one or more hosts to sort of soften these blows, because the water that we have to navigate is choppy.
And thus The Adventures of Hellworld came about.
You know, maybe, maybe Jay Stew shouldn't be up in there trying to chop back at the water.
He's like, he's standing on a rocky boat in choppy seas, like karate, like fighting the water.
Yeah, I'm choppin' it!
I'm just as cool as you, water!
Okay, anyway.
All right, kids, get your calculators ready.
It's time to talk about Negative 48.
Yeah, so our boy Negative 48, they're still now aggressively searching for a compound, which is terrifying, as always, but the big thing that happened this week was There was a lot of talk in the negative 48 channels that many people had lost their sense of taste and smell.
And what what what could that mean?
Yeah, it's a it's a byproduct of the spiritual energy that floods an area before it coalesces into a JFK Jr.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I thought I thought it was just a Texas thing.
Yeah, you get so much of that Texas barbecue in your nostrils and you can no longer smell anything else.
It's just a whole world.
Texans notoriously can't smell or taste, which is why they're convinced they have the best barbecue in the country.
Boom!
Fucking roasted!
You're wrong!
You Texans are wrong!
I have had all four cardinal barbecues and you are wrong!
Zucruel here to tell you that you're wrong!
After we're done recording, I'm gonna go get some Kansas City barbecue, and you know what?
It will always be better than Texas barbecue.
Suck it.
Yeah.
Suck it.
So they had a post about this and then someone from a channel called Remedies and Cures explained that the graphene oxide in the COVID vaccine, which I'm sure all these people took so you could totally explain that, that graphene oxide gets into your body and it gums up your ability to smell and taste.
And that's the problem.
Shut the fuck up.
Shut up.
Is it possible that anyone who took the COVID vaccine might have had their smell or taste impacted because the vaccine does in fact contain some of COVID-19?
Uh, no, because... No, that is just straight impossible.
It definitely has to be the graphite oxide or whatever.
And the other thing isn't how it works either.
Yeah, because these are RNA vaccines.
These aren't the dormant vaccines that, like... Oh, is it?
I genuinely didn't know.
This is just me getting caught out here.
I had no idea.
I don't know what the difference between the vaccines are.
I just go to the doctor and tell them to put it in.
I just put it to my arm and I'm just like, you give me vaccine.
Yeah, like, there are some vaccines in the world that are the actual, like, you get a small dose of COVID-19.
The vaccines that are in America are basically, this thing tells your immune system, hey, be on the lookout for this shit, and when you find it, fuck it up.
And so it's this entirely new version of vaccines, which was promising, but no one would ever fund it, because there was never any urgency to do so, and then COVID happened, and people were like, oh shit, this RNA stuff, this RMNA stuff, yeah, let's get a crack on that.
Well, I'm glad that I'm glad that you you opened the door crack by revealing that it's new tech to allow me to feel less foolish about about that joke.
But genuinely, I didn't like I had heard people banding about the term RNA and all that stuff.
And I have friends that are like like tangentially related to the field that I could have asked.
But honestly, it just didn't really I didn't really give a shit either way.
I just want to never vaccine.
They were going to put in me.
I would like to associate with my friends again.
So would you have a vaccine to give me?
I will be there.
Yep.
It's the new one, and that's part of why dum-dums are scared of it.
They listen to Joe Rogan.
I hear he associates with some not-great people and maybe shouldn't listen to him.
You definitely should not listen to Joe Rogan.
But what do I know?
he just made $100 million from Spotify.
Yep.
So, uh, they offer many solutions for how to get your sense of smell back.
The first one is smell training, where you get four different fragrances out of your smell training kit, and then you take 20 seconds to a few minutes every day smelling those different smells, and eventually your nose will get back into the game.
You can also drink apple cider, castor oil.
You want to drop some castor oil into your nostrils twice a day.
Cayenne pepper, I'm sure that would be Very interesting.
Are we putting the cayenne pepper in our nose?
Is that what we're doing?
To train our nose to work again?
You just want to put the cayenne pepper in all your dishes to cook, to help stimulate your salivary glands in your mouth.
Such a sweet, spicy food!
Yep.
Also, if you don't like that... But not too spicy, because remember, these people are still Caucasian.
Yes.
If you don't like that... Cayenne pepper, the spiciest flake known to man!
Then you want to try cinnamon, garlic, or ginger.
And you should just chew small slices of fresh, raw ginger at regular intervals to improve your sense of taste and smell.
So, they've got it solved.
They've got a way to figure out how to get your senses back.
And it's not by not contracting COVID or just hopefully having your bout of COVID pass after a couple weeks without killing you because you sought medical treatment. Oh, wait, no, these people were
told the hospitals are death camps or by getting vaccinated. Oh,
wait, these people think vaccines are death. So this is this is I
mean, all of the stuff that's happening with negative 48 is like super dangerous. And the fact that you're adding in
COVID now, and let's not forget that there are still children in
this group. All of this. This is, and I will say this every week for the next like century that
The fact that mainstream QAnon and these people will never take responsibility for what negative 48 is doing is so enraging.
It's just like, you monsters, you are responsible.
You fucking did this.
You set up the whole stage and the framework.
For a cult leader to emerge to grab a cult, and now someone's done it.
So like, this blood is on your hands, you pricks.
And dear listeners, I can tell you that Mike is very serious because while delivering that screed, his arms were flailing like Kermit the Frog.
He was very passionate about that.
There he goes.
Now he's dancing even more!
They're watching!
I agree that the negative 48 stuff is not ideal.
Now, I wish that there were no children involved, because I'd really like to just wash my hands of those people.
Because it's just like, yeah, if they get a compound and do whatever they're gonna do in a compound, which is always the same thing, like, that's dangerous.
But if everyone there is consenting to it, like, you know, whatever.
Go form your compound, you amass your weapons stockpile, then eventually just check out.
That's that.
It's your right as a person to do those things.
Congratulations!
But like, yeah, the kids are unfortunate.
Let's send in...
Let's send in SEAL Team 28 or whatever, whatever SEAL Team we're on now, to get those kids out of there.
They're not like save files.
They don't just keep naming them one by one.
I mean, of course that's how they do it.
How else would they do it?
I believe SEAL Team 6 is actually a lie, and they were only on SEAL Team 3 when they made SEAL Team 6, but they wanted to confuse the Russians and their other enemies into how many SEAL Teams there actually were.
Oh, so it's sort of like a reverse Final Fantasy 3-slash-6 situation or whatever?
Where it's like, Final Fantasy 6 in Japan, but it comes out over here as Final Fantasy 4, or what have you?
You fucking hippies.
I get it.
So, uh, that, all of the stuff with him is just so like, just, oh man, it's like having a real cult actually having done it.
It took him 40 odd years to do it, but they finally made a real cult in the real world.
And, uh, negative 48 has, uh, like, I believe he has domestic violence charges against him.
He has a lien against like, he has like these like finance charges.
So he's, he's a cult leader is what you're saying.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
He's a cult leader.
And the movement, they recently started posting things about how they need to experience the physical death in order to transcend this world and get to the real truth.
So they're getting to that kind of dark place.
Yeah, it's time.
I mean, not for the kids.
They can't get into that sort of thing.
That would be murder.
But for the adults, yeah!
Let's do that!
Yeah, I haven't listened to it yet.
Apparently the pills are wearing off.
Q Anonymous did a deep dive into negative 48 and like the cult that he's building just recently.
And if you want to know more about cults, last podcast on the left does a deep, deep dive into Jim Jones and Jonestown.
So I do not fuck with that recommendation because they put themselves behind the Spotify paywall and fuck them.
Oh, no, they're they're free.
BlastPod on the left?
Yeah, they're free.
Oh, they're just exclusive on Spotify.
Yeah, and they're coming back to General Pop here in two months.
That is actually exciting, because I'm not going to download Spotify and listen to one podcast.
It's just not going to happen.
And therefore, I haven't listened to them for over a year, because they made that money.
And I'm not saying they were wrong to do it.
Good for them.
I expect that when we sell out, there are people that will also say, fuck you, to us.
And that is fine.
I will have money.
Yeah, and we do want to sell out.
We'd love to do this full-time.
Oh yeah, can't wait to do this full-time, except for the fact that the niche we've tried to carve out for ourselves is QAnon related.
And that means that if we ever do get to do this full-time, it means that our job will be to monitor QAnon.
Can you imagine how terrible that would be?
So I have a story about that.
My partner and her guest, who's been staying with us the last couple days, they're just like, you seem really bummed out.
And I was like, Well, tomorrow's recording day, so I've been in QWorld, like, trying to gather information and, like, get caught up, and it's just... And then, like, so, in real time on Twitter, I was seeing all the reports of the school shooting come in, and, like, I watched the TikTok from...
The one of the kids in the school shooting.
The one inside the classroom with the shooter tries to convince them that he's a sheriff or whatever to get it.
Possibly the shooter but I'm here to tell you they all were just like one when when the person at the door says bro just come to the door and all the kids in the classroom are just like one of them literally goes that's a big red flag and they just go diving out the window and I'm like that is harrowing.
harrowing shit.
Yeah, I want every one of these second amendment motherfuckers to say, I want them to be like,
hey, picture your kid in that classroom making that decision and tell me how important the
goddamn second amendment is. Just do that for me.
A bunch of people- And then they will tell you that the rational solution is
to arm our children.
Oh yeah, good guy, good guy with a gun.
Always a good guy with a gun.
I want that guy who said, that's a red flag to be able to follow that up with producing his firearm and shooting blindly through the door like Oscar Pistorius.
And then I found out that schools have like all clear code words now.
And just, like, shit and operating procedures that I had in the army, high schools have now, and, like, I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Yeah, when I was a kid, time to do a little old Abe Simpson here, when I was a kid, we had, like, fire drills and tornado drills when I lived in places where tornadoes would happen, but now they have, like, active shooter drills, and, like, this secret code word is, like, pumpernickel, and you're just like, yo, It's just fucking crazy.
How about we just make it less easy for people to get caught?
No?
Still not on the menu, huh?
Okay, cool.
They're designing high schools with long curving hallways so there's no clear sight lines.
It's just like, what?
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
Sorry that that like I saw that yesterday.
And yeah, the the deep dive into Q world kind of I have a bunch of respect for you all day debunkers and it bums me out on the regular.
Yeah, I don't know how you guys do it.
I'm barely affiliated with this shit at all, and I'm still just like, man.
Simultaneously want to make content that people enjoy for a living, and also don't really want to have to deal with QAnon that much, but I will swallow that pill if I have to, because it will eliminate a lot of commuting, which is another thing that I don't want to engage with very often for my 9-to-5, and I still have to, so I feel like I could get used to anything.
Madison Cawthorn, the Republican Nazi guy, he posted something to the effect of, the only thing that's keeping America from being Australia is the Second Amendment.
And I really want one of these pricks to have to spell out what that means.
Because I want one of these pricks to actually have to say that one day when Biden orders a lockdown, we We'll grab our guns and start killing cops and National Guardsmen in order to, like, prevent that lockdown order from being enacted.
I just want them to have to admit that, because they say it, and then everyone's just sort of like, oh, you're a crazy person, you think guns solve everything.
I'm like, no, actually make them spell it out.
Ask them the question, how will the Second Amendment make us different than Australia?
How will it save us?
And they'll never answer that question, because they don't want to admit that, like, oh, I, a Republican, want to say that there is a time and a place in America where you should be allowed to start shooting cops and troops.
Like, you should just be able to do that.
If there's a certain law that you don't like that comes down the pike, and you're an armed citizen, well, guess what?
The laws no longer apply to you.
And if someone tries to enforce them upon you, kill them.
Because that's sick.
I've always been infuriated that I can't marry my cousin.
Lock and load.
Exactly.
That's the that's the three percenters there.
I mean, their whole thing.
When when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.
Yeah, that's what they want.
They just want to be around to find out their three percent.
Yeah.
The you three percenters will be 100 percent dead, guaranteed or incarcerated, I guess.
I guess.
Or incarcerated, I guess.
It depends on the color of your skin.
Anyway, give me that sweet mailbag bump.
I can do that for you, sir.
Our listeners got questions, we got answers.
It's time for Q and A. So Kaiju asks, I know you don't expect violence out of Dallas, but where do you think Q violence might come from and why will it have a francophilic accent?
Um, I think it's hard to say.
Sorry, my first guess would be Las Vegas at one of these conferences.
I would go with Arizona, because that's kind of like the hotbed of the decertification movement, and there are still people saying, like, Bronkovic's gonna indict somebody, like, the Cyber Ninjas wasn't just a scam, it was a good thing for a real reason, and we're gonna get a payoff, right guys?
And when we're in July of 2022 and no one's talking about it, and
that guy's just running for Senate in Arizona.
And pretending like he might indict someone to try to calm the rubes down
a little bit.
Someone might get a little punchy there cuz- Cuz- Keep your eyes on Canada.
Canada looks like it's getting spicy.
Oh yeah, the Queen of Canada ordering Americans to cross the border and kill doctors.
That was great.
And yeah, we'll get to that whenever that gets a little more out of hand.
But yeah, there are people spoiling for a fight.
I mean, that is the inevitable part of QAnon is that the whole movement is based on a payoff they're never going to get.
So sooner or later, someone's going to decide that they're going to get the payoff come hell or high water.
That's what makes it really dangerous.
You know what?
I'm just going to go for the long odds guess.
Rhode Island.
It's tiny, it's surrounded by liberalism, but I think that's where it's going to happen.
Quahog, Rhode Island, where Family Guy is set, is going to be where it really pops off, believe it.
Don't even know if it's a real city, but we're going to make it one.
And we're going to give it to the Q people and see how long it takes for them to just start blasting.
It's going to be incredible.
Yep.
Cladora Silvestri asks, with negative 48 being called Michael, does that mean that Negamike is an evil clone of Mike Rains, who they spelled my pen name wrong, but that's my life.
Or is he an evil duplicate from a universe where everyone has a goatee?
Well, if he had a goatee, it would be much smaller than my facial hair, because I have the mountain man, the hillsman tribe beard working.
A great big bushy beard!
That's me.
I'm Gimli slash Robert Baratheon.
That's the dream for me right there.
I was strong to compare yourself to the unit that is Jonathan Rhys-Davies.
Absolutely.
Man, that guy is wild.
Did you know that he played the Kingpin in Trial of the Incredible Hulk, the made-for-TV movie where Hulk crosses over with Daredevil?
No, I did not.
He did not shave his head for the role.
I love stuff like that.
I like the Joker not shaving off his mustache in the original Batman.
They just had to cake the face paint on.
Yeah, Cesar Romero.
What a legend.
Another absolute unit.
Yes!
So, uh, I hope to not be associated with him in every way, shape, or form, but if he's an evil clone of me, then, uh, man, it sucks to know that my evil clone is generating far more evil than I'm generating good in this world.
So I need to up my game.
In a surprising twist, he's, uh, he's just a clone of Jim Stewart's.
That'd be awful.
Zing!
Oh no.
Dana asks, is the apparent splintering of Q into Flynn vs. Lin factions better for our world or just a different kind of horrible?
Thank you all for the plot!
A highlight of my week!
Exclamation point.
So thank you for the compliment, Dana.
And I'm gonna go with different kind of horrible.
I don't think this actually solves anything.
But I think the thing that's really bad about this is the more of the QAnon fractures in the different smaller groups, the more likely those groups are to radicalize.
Because I mean, negative 48 only has like a hundred or so people in his group, but That's a group that's trying to form a real cult in a real physical location.
And I've heard people say that.
I've heard QAnon promoters being like, the QAnon movement has millions of people and Negative 48 has a couple hundred people in Dallas, so it's obvious they're a psy-op or disinformation.
And it's just like, a couple hundred people can do some real fucking damage if they want to.
Or they can hurt themselves, which is also bad.
Yeah, but also at the same time, those couple of hundred people could just have properly integrated into the larger mass of Q, which is already doing a bunch of harm.
So on this point, I'm going to say that maybe it's my abundance of optimism that I am notorious for having in humanity, but I think that it's like...
At a macro level, I think it has to be good, right?
Like, it would be much worse for everyone if all the people in QAnon were in lockstep behind a single ideal, because then they could get some real shit going.
If they're gonna continue to spit off into their own little individual, like, cults that do dangerous shit, like...
I mean, I feel like the culture, like, 99% of the time, these cults are only going to be harmful to the people trapped within them.
Versus, like, if everyone in QAnon was, like, you know, if they all focused the beam in the same direction, they could burn a hole through just about anything.
Yeah, it's it's weird.
It's weird and scary.
Probably better that they're fracturing.
But they're still doing a lot of damage.
I'd rather be fighting a divided enemy than a united enemy.
And I feel and I feel like, yeah, like a long history of warfare has borne that out.
And as we all know, I'm a digital soldier.
We all know it.
I'm on the front lines, baby.
I'm just as influential and important as the world.
You've earned your digital stripes.
Yeah, man.
I pay my dues.
I'm just like real, actual servicemen and women.
You know, we're the exact same.
Absolutely.
You're the man now, dawg.
Oh, when I think of Sarge's service to the military and El's digital soldier service, same thing.
Sarge's real military service may even pale in comparison to the work I'm doing on the internet.
Very true.
I didn't have Twitter in Iraq.
Yeah, exactly.
So how could you have possibly influenced anyone without Twitter?
If you don't have a Twitter or a TikTok or an Instagram, how are you influencing anyone?
Yeah, what are you even doing?
Exactly, exactly.
So Clutch Zero asks, do you have any movies or shows you enjoy specifically for being badly made?
Oh, wow.
Like, intentionally badly made or unintentionally badly made?
See, I don't like Sharknado's.
I don't like stuff that's bad for bad sake.
See, but it toes a line, though, because you have referenced Black Dynamite at least once in just today's episode.
Yes.
And Black Dynamite is a show that's like, you know, it's a parody.
So it is well made at being poorly made because like a lot of the gags are like a visible boom mic or actors like delivering their lines wrong or looking directly down the lens of the camera when they're not supposed to be.
And if you're looking for one of those, like I think Black Dynamite executes that style of parody incredibly well.
But it's not a bad movie, it's a movie pretending to be bad.
It's like a funny comedy wearing a bad movie suit.
I mean, Airplane ages fairly well.
Yeah, I don't know if Airplay falls into the category of bad or intentionally trying to be bad.
That's just a more straight parody movie.
I don't think of movies that I like that are unintentionally bad.
I don't really think there's a lot of them.
I think The Room is the gold standard for the terribly made movie that becomes a cult classic.
Like, lean into the terribleness of it.
It is fairly surreal.
I'm listening to the audiobook now for The Disaster Artist.
I don't recommend the movie Disaster Artist, but the book or the audiobook are pretty fucking crazy.
I have not seen The Room, nor do I ever intend on seeing The Room, because I know a lot of the same people that like The Room were the people that tried to convince me that Rocky Horror was a good movie back in the day.
A lot of the people that seem to like The Room, they just want a cinematic experience that they can share with their friends, where they just get together and are ostensibly watching a movie, but are really just hooting and hollering with each other.
That's fine.
That's perfectly acceptable.
I'm well aware of that impulse.
I just don't think that claiming that the movie that is part of that is actually good is the way.
That way lies madness.
Both of those movies suck.
Yes.
I've always had a special fondness for Cannibal the Musical, which is Trey Parker and Matt Stone's college film, and because they were still wee lads with wee lad college budgets, It's an incredibly low-budget affair that has, like, all the make... And it's not like they could do anything to massage that, because they didn't have any sort of juice yet, they were still young kids themselves.
So, the movie, I certainly would not call it good, but it is, like, it's certainly very entertaining to me.
You know, it's got some of the stuff that they would become known for later, like writing funny music, and, like, sort of, like, just sort of, like, sort of fast-ish...
Like, you know, crass humor.
So, you know, if you're just looking for, like, a trauma-style movie that is worth enjoying, I could recommend, like, Cannibal the Musical is something to maybe check out.
Oh, and also, speaking of trauma-style stuff, like, I do have also a special place in my heart for those wildly over-the-top Japanese gore movies, like Tokyo Gore Police and The Machine Girl.
The Machine Girl.
Yeah.
So yeah, yeah, no, it's hard to say why I named a lot of them.
Yeah, I don't like I've never had I've never had that bad good kind of reaction to anything in that way.
I've people like, Oh, this is so bad.
It's funny.
And then I just watch it.
It's just cringe to me.
I'm just like, Oh, I can't I can't get over the badness.
It doesn't like clear that bar into funny ever for me.
So Yeah, Mike only has enough love in his heart for So Bad It's Good in one genre of thing, and he has chosen garbage, the musician, for that, so.
Exactly right, exactly right.
Zing!
Boom, boom.
Gotta get those shots in when I can, because Mike knows that I don't actually have that opinion, I think.
It is fun to needle old Mike for his love of garbage.
Music's much harder to thread with the so bad it's good.
I honestly can't think of any music that I would be like, oh it's so bad it's good.
Sister Debra, Uncle Obama's banana.
See, that's... I don't know.
Meme music makes it weird.
I don't think that really qualifies as meme music.
We think it's meme music because of Magic the Gathering streamer.
We used to play it on his stream frequently.
But I don't think outside of that that any of the views are meme-ish.
No one has ever heard of that besides people that watch that Magic stream.
And actual fans of Sister Temper, I guess.
Her friends call her Darby.
All right, give us the next question.
Reverend Xenofacts asks, best RPG that isn't D&D or a direct ripoff?
Are we talking tabletop only?
I'm assuming so.
Yeah.
Based on the way the question is presented, I can't imagine he means video game RPGs.
All of which are much worse than tabletop RPGs anyway, so it's irrelevant.
I, if I had to choose one, I mean the one that I played personally that I had the most fun with aside from D&D was Adventure!
With an exclamation point.
It was a White Wolf system.
It was the first part of the Adventure Aberrant Trinity trilogy of game systems.
The other two I think suck and are bad.
Adventure!
I thought was nice.
Like, I had some glaring flaws, like, the way it handled super science, like, and building super science technology wasn't, like, needlessly cumbersome and stupid, but I just played a great, like, three-year-long campaign of that game, so it'll always have a special place in my heart.
The White Wolf system is not the best because it requires big fistfuls of dice, which I know that, like, more modern games have sort of started getting away from that, including stuff like Apocalypse World, which Has only the players rolling dice and only ever two at a time.
But yeah, I had a ton of fun playing Adventure.
So like if I had to choose one personally from the heart, it would be Adventure!
Because like the exclamation point is part of Yes, I have a I have a really soft spot in my heart for werewolf the apocalypse second edition because a dumb teenage me bought that book on a almost a lark because it had a cool comic in the front in the back and then I read the whole thing front to back multiple times.
I love that book in that world.
I love the white wolf worlds.
I haven't gotten a chance to play him very much.
I love the setting of Shadowrun more than almost any other game, because I love cyberpunk plus magic, and I don't think anyone else has really done it quite like Shadowrun.
There was a take on D20 Modern, but that's a literal, per your question, ripoff of D&D, so I won't include it.
And then... Trying to think if there's anything else.
I mean, in a way, they're all ripping off D&D, but I did not feel like pushing up my glasses and being pedantic about that.
Yeah, I was like, are we going to talk about Pathfinder?
No.
Yeah, so I'll go with like Shadowrun and then like, you know, Rose-Tinted Glasses.
I have a fondness for a lot of the old White Wolf games.
Yeah.
So, here you go.
As much as I do love Daniel Halloween Coyote, I have to say that the game that I have the rose-tinted glasses for that I enjoyed playing back in the day was All Flesh Must Be Eaten.
That was back before zombies got overpopulated and kind of ruined everything.
But that book was just zombie horror in different styles.
The GM could either have George Romero shambler zombies, or 28 Days Later, fast, quick, nimble, dangerous zombies.
And it was a fun zombie horror game system.
And I think I will probably always have a fast reaction time and situational awareness stuck in my head to my dying day as a thing that one of my players in the game was obsessed with all their characters having.
And it never helped them.
Their characters got killed constantly.
But boy howdy, was their character never going to get surprised in this situation.
Never, not once.
They were still gonna die when they were prepared, but they would die prepared, and that made them very happy.
They were aware of their situation, which was deadly.
Yes.
Do we want to do one more question before we wrap it up?
We're kind of running over length this week because we had so many robust headlines.
Yeah, so I'll do one more question before we get to the question of numerous, because this question was something I had to actually look into.
Diamond James, who has a middle name I'm not even going to try, says, what is game theory and why is Q always wrong about game theory?
And, uh, game theory is just understanding, uh, basically what a group of people would do in a situation where the rules were defined for what they were doing, and they were all rational.
And game theory means, like, literally everything.
It can be mapped out to everything.
It can be a game of chess.
It can be three businesses trying to sell a product.
It can be anything, but those are the parameters of what game theory is.
Game theory is a wish upon a star, and that wish is that everybody always executed every aspect of every part of their life perfectly and rationally.
It's a weird worldview where you're just like, oh, well, of course this person would do this.
Why would they do anything else?
Completely disregarding the fact that people are fucked up and weird and chaotic and there's no way to pin them down like that.
Because real world ain't like comic books, son.
You can't perfectly predict the way people are going to behave based on some fucking algo or whatever.
I really wish you could.
It would make things so much easier for a lot of people.
But yeah, my answer is that game theory is a wish.
Game theory is a wish and a fantasy for people who don't have social mores that wish that they could redefine the entire world in order for them to be better at talking to their fellow man.
Look up the Prisoner's Dilemma experiment.
There was a programming experiment where they just programmed a system to either attack,
neutral, or defend. There's a bunch of interesting game theory experiments, but yeah,
when you start applying it to people, you turn into a sociopath real quick.
Yeah.
Yeah, the Prisoner's Dilemma, you can look that up.
If you look up The Beautiful Mind, The Nash Equilibrium, that's a movie clip that does a really good job of explaining how game theory works.
It can be spelled out a lot of different ways.
What QAnon does to get this wrong Is again, as Elle said, game theory is a wish where everyone's acting rationally and everyone knows the rules and the game is defined.
Like, a battle between the Cabal and the Patriots is obviously an undefined world unless you think both sides are playing under God's rules and they all know God's rules.
In which case, at the end of the day, the Cabal's gonna lose, so why are we even wasting our time worrying about any of this shit?
Game theory is not, um...
Like, dealing with crazy real-world situations that are fluid and dynamic.
That's just calculating probabilities and making your best guess about what's going to happen in a situation.
It's not the... Because game theory kind of implies that you have perfect information about what's going on that leads you to a rational choice and a good decision.
And also, to your point, everybody has to be playing the game.
And if they're not, yeah, it's, it's all big brain, like, nonsense.
Like, I suggest Yeah, look up the clip, Mike.
The simultaneous rise in popularity between poker and board games led a bunch of people that did not have social skills to start really, really holding out hope that the world could be solved by applying the theories of a game to it.
And it turns out that no, that is not...
That works for board games, and it only sort of works for poker.
Because at the end of the day, even something like poker, you could just be like, well, the math dictates that I've got to get all my money in against this person.
What could they possibly have?
But they're just like, 8-3 off.
And you're like, oh, sick.
So good.
Yeah, exactly.
That's the thing is that people want to believe that they can construct something where it's always going to work out right for you, but the innate chaos of the real world makes it so that no, it's not.
And just shouting game theory to try to sound smart Like, it works on a lot of people, bamboozles them.
It's like, why is Trump doing what he's doing?
Game theory!
And it's like, game theory doesn't work in that kind of world, because there are so many variables and different things that could possibly happen, and what is a right decision today could be a wrong decision tomorrow due to unforeseen events and circumstances happening.
So, no, get over yourself.
Game theory isn't a catch-all solution to all the world's problems.
So that's how QAnon get it wrong.
So finally, the question of numerous, what are you looking forward to?
It is JoJo Day!
The new season of JoJo is up on Netflix.
I'm excited to watch it.
This is part six.
It takes place in a Florida women's prison, kind of, in that it does take place there, but everyone has weird, creepy superpowers that are named after bands, such as Foo Fighter and Stone Ocean.
So I'm excited to dig into that here, probably later today.
So happy JoJo Day.
I'm excited for in two-ish, well I guess it's closer to three-ish weeks, maybe I could have saved it for one of our future pods, but what can I say?
I'm just abundantly enthusiastic about the upcoming movie featuring everyone's favorite superhero, the emissary of hell, Supiderman.
Very much looking forward to Spider-Man No Way Home.
Oh, right on!
As well as just other, you know, it's just like it should generally been like a good like six, it's gonna be a good six weeks to close out the year for television and movies.
Arcane, Spider-Man, the book of Boba Fett's coming out, Hawkeye's airing right now.
I think that's a new episode of that.
You mean The Matrix?
Yeah, I mean to a lesser extent I guess The Matrix.
I'm pot committed on that.
My partner is deeply excited about the new Matrix, so.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to watch it.
Next time you talk to them, ask them what it's like to have bad taste.
So far that movie franchise is batting, like, what?
If you count the Animatrix, it's batting, like, 23.5% quality or whatever.
Like, it's not great.
It's like, oh, they made one really good movie and then, like, two good vignettes out of five in an Animatrix.
And then the rest of it has been...
Oh brother!
Whoa, this is rough!
I will never forget or forgive the Animatrix for doing the whole thing where they made the robot city of Zero-One, and then the humans got angry and nuked Zero-One, and then the narrator's voice says, but the nuclear bombs did not hurt the robots, when the entire Matrix is based around EMPs shutting down robots, and nuclear bombs generate EMPs, so it's like, shut up narrator voice, you're full of shit, the nukes would have crushed Zero-One, the machines lose the war immediately, Yeah, and also they didn't tell you that all of the robots were coated in the special future super material that allows them to survive when confronted with like 10,000 degree heat or whatever.
Just heat enough to immediately fuse all metal into useless nothingness.
It's just like, yeah, but they just got over that.
They got over that and the electromagnetic pulse and all that shit.
Machines clearly just work perfectly when bombarded with large amounts of radiation, so it's fine.
It was definitely super easy for the people to clean up Fukushima because all of the probes and stuff they sent in there worked perfectly because robots were immune to radiation!
Okay, cool.
Alright, reel it in.
Take us home.
Mike, what are you excited about?
Uh, Bill's Patriots.
The Patriots have been beating up a bunch of bad teams and a bunch of injured teams.
The Titans were really banged up this week, so they were probably going to beat them, and they did.
This is, like, the big test.
This is the mano-a-mano battle for the right to own the AFC East and all that other good stuff.
So, and it's going to be really fun, because, um, Being in a sports book on a Monday night where there's this huge important game, there's going to be so many people screaming and yelling, and it's going to be a trip.
It's going to be an absolute trip to watch that game.
So I'm really looking forward to that.
Good stuff.
