Adventures in HellwQrld Episode #93: Roe Ruling, Q "Returns"
This week we conclude the saga of the Amuse Bouche bump and then cover the horrors of what SCOTUS has done to America and the horrors of what Q's "Return" has done to the sanity of QAnon. Mike also goes into detail about why the new Q is obviously Jim Watkins, or at the very least somebody working directly with him.

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.
Hello, everybody.
I am Mike Rains, AAA Poker and Politics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
I am joined, as always, by Sarge.
Hello.
Hello from the nothing happening week.
The week where nothing happened.
We say that a lot.
And the mysterious owl.
We do.
You've got some nerve showing your face around these parts again, my beautiful babies.
Heck of miles in town.
I've always said that about Sheriff L. Not a lot of restorative justice, more just vengeance, is his book.
That's why you yell so much.
And I'm gonna go away again, because this is a might painful on the throat.
And seed!
Hi, everybody!
We're back for another thrilling episode of the Avengers in Hellworld podcast, where nothing ever happens!
Nothing.
Nothing ever happens.
Nothing.
I wonder how exciting our show would be if, when stuff happened, it wasn't all squeezed into one week.
No kidding!
Like, last time, I believe it was the first week of January, if I recall.
Yes.
Last time, something really important just got squeezed in.
Like, a bunch of stuff just happened all at once.
But this time around, it's coming again.
So, you know, less necking at the beginning.
The necking is over.
We have necked.
Now it is time for us to get into our first segment of the show, which is the amuse-bouche, which I believe we have a new bump for.
Give us the bump.
It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
Get ready for the amuse-bouche.
The thrilling conclusion of the amuse-bouche bump saga.
And finally, our boy Frosty turns in essentially what I wanted the whole time.
A week so busy, we talked about in our very short production meeting about just skipping this segment, but we're like, we can't!
We can't do it!
We don't!
No, because Frosty's a hard-working chap!
He is.
And he's been refining the bump technology for our amuse-bouche segment, and he has finally gotten to the point where he remembered it was French, and I applaud him for this.
So, let's get into our lightest, fluffiest news of the week.
What did we decide to put in this?
So, apparently Rudy's been getting slap happy and Pelosi's been thrashing children.
So, let's wrap in, folks, because Pelosi thrashing children is our lightest, fluffiest headline of the week.
Yeah, exactly.
I saw the video of Rudy getting slapped on the back and it was H. John Benjamin on Twitter was like, if anyone knows who this is, I will pay for their legal defense.
Now, Rudy was doing, what, a meet and greet at a grocery store?
For the record, I thought you were going to say that H. John Benjamin was the one who slapped Rudy, because like most of our headlines, I know nothing about this.
So, I want to live in that world.
I want to live in the world where H. John Benjamin was the one out there slapping Rudy on the back.
I mean, that would be rad.
Some guy walked by and legitimately slapped him on the back like, hey you fascist piece of shit.
And then Rudy was like, arrest that man.
And whatever security detail slash cop was there with him, did.
And they charged that guy with assault.
And it was the literal most slappiest on the backs.
And then Patrick Warburton showed up and gave a wedgie.
Yeah.
It was like, Rudy.
Right up in the crack with it.
It turns out you can't really touch people without their consent, or you shouldn't be able to.
So, why you shouldn't slap Rudy Giuliani on the back?
He will do this kind of shit, and now, and he just gets his face and name in the headlines for forever.
Also, I mean, I feel like as a society we have to draw the line somewhere, and I feel like the line was Nazi.
Like, it would be cool to just sort of like, be like, hey, use liberal thinking to decide who it is and is not okay to just punch in public.
I would love for that to be the case, because there are several people I would like to see be punched.
But for society to function, we have to draw a pretty strict line where the punchings stop.
And I think it was Nazi, was what we got to.
Or maybe just white supremacists in general.
But, like, just got, like, old man who worked for Trump that is a piece of shit.
Like, there's so many of those.
That would be so much punching.
That's way too much punching for society, guys.
Like... Oh, yeah, your punching hand would get worn out.
Just don't touch Rudy Giuliani.
You'll get sick.
I'm not here to please how you feel when you see Rudy Giuliani get slapped or punched, though.
How that makes you feel is between you and your God.
What were you saying, Mike?
No, but I'm saying, like, he breathed on him.
This was absolute nothing.
Like, there's... To get to... For Rudy Giuliatti, it's like 940 years old, and we saw his face literally sloughing off his body that one time, so like... That was Rudy's argument.
I feel like a light breeze might destroy his entire circulatory system.
Well, congratulations on being Rudy Giuliani.
That's almost literally what he said on why he had that guy arrested.
He said, uh, I'm so old.
Uh, any harder and I would have gotten a concussion and like fallen over.
Look, I mean, I obviously have not seen this lap.
I'm assuming that it is like the Democrats response to certain events of the week.
It has been, it was full kit and mittens and very, very light and breezy.
But, preaching to that, he is an old man, and, you know, if you, like, if you touch him without his consent in public and he can, like, point to a member of law enforcement and be like, yo, you saw that, right?
Like...
I disagree with that.
Not cool.
Fucking arrest that guy.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm not asking Rudy or anything, but again, somebody has to fight for society.
Don't touch people without their consent, even if they're Rudy Giuliani.
Yeah, I'm not Team Rudy either, but this was always going to happen.
He's a massive piece of shit.
That's why you use your constitutional right to just yell at him.
You just say any words you want to him, as long as it's not like a call to violence against him.
But aside from that, you can say whatever you want to the man, loudly, in public.
You can just be like, yo, here's how I feel about you.
And I'm going to report it and put it online.
And that's why Rudy had this guy arrested, because after the guy tapped him on the back, he said, hey scumbag, like he was going at Rudy.
And then Rudy was like, oh, You touched me and then you said bad words to me.
I'm going to get you on the touch.
I'm going to get you on that.
And then, and then the guy got dragged away.
So like, that was your like, Oh, and uh, The mayor of New York has come out and said that if Rudy Giuliani had actually filed a false report, he will, like, seek charges against Rudy.
So the crazy mayor of New York that nobody likes is now apparently deciding to go to bat for the folks that want Rudy to, like, suffer for this bizarre series of events.
But yeah, as I led with, H. John Benjamin offered to pay this guy's legal defense, and he's gonna need it.
I probably don't want to see this guy go to jail, but maybe like a fine or something.
I don't know.
Just something to be like, hey man, that wasn't cool.
Don't touch people without their permission.
Speaking of which, so Pelosi was out there, like, roughing up children, according to the second part of this headline, where she just like- Don't bring piss to a shit fight, and she's like, yes!
Yeah, that's exactly what happened.
So, Mayra Flores, the QAnon-believing-slash-no-I-didn't-believe-in-QAnon-you-can't-prove-I-believe-in-QAnon-I-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about lady, who won election in the district that's going away this November, and that's why the Democrats didn't challenge her in this race.
She got sworn in, at her swearing-in.
Pelosi was there, because she's the Speaker of the House, and that's what you do.
And Pelosi gave Flores' daughter a little elbow bump.
A stone-cold stutter!
Yes!
Just a full-on kick to the stomach, just drop it on the shoulders stutter.
Yes.
Oh, just crack her jaw in three places.
I wish we could afford licensed music.
Oh, the glass broke.
You have no idea.
Oh, if you get the reference, you're imagining the music.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I haven't been on that TV.
I was a, I was a Chris Jericho man myself for until that wasn't cool anymore.
So what did you say actually happened?
She gave this little, little child an elbow bump.
Is that what you described it as?
Yeah.
Like basically she was just giving her a little bump to be like, Hey, like, isn't
this cool?
Your mom's getting sworn into Congress.
Like what's going on?
And the, and the, and the girl looked at her like, why is the old lady
like tapping my arm with her arm?
This is like odd and a bunch.
And then something came out where, uh, Flores herself was like, Pelosi pushed my
daughter and all these right wing idiots got on social media.
They were like, Pelosi assaults child.
I saw one QAnon promoter talking about how Pelosi, like, they broke down the video, like it was a Zapruder film, and slow-mo'd the elbow down so you could watch it frame by frame as this old, million-year-old grandmother lightly tapped this child, and then the child looked at her.
Like so much Ralph Wiggum on Valentine's Day.
Yes!
Oh, God.
It was...
That little girl got cho-cho-chosen.
Yes!
It's like in Blade 2 when Reaper comes down, just dropping the elbow, flying in off the screen.
You know what's super funny, just randomly?
I was talking about Blade 2 just last night.
Completely, like, literally thousands of miles away from you, at dinner with my friends, apropos of nothing.
We haven't really spoken all week.
I know why I brought it up now, because it's an obscure pop culture reference, and we've brought up Blade more than once on the show.
What on earth could have possibly brought Blade up at dinner?
I literally can't remember.
I think there's a chance that we just started talking about Blade for some reason, and I don't know why.
I suppose, fair enough.
I think we got there from talking about wrestling.
I just thought it was funny that Blade II has come up yet again.
There are a lot of wrestling moves in Blade II.
And also, in this little girl's defense, for the story at hand, they weren't mic'd up, so you couldn't hear it, but when Pelosi gave her a little elbow, she was just like, I can't wait to suck your adrenochrome.
And the little girl was like, yo, wipe it!
I don't know why that got me.
She said it!
The funniest things are truthful.
Her long snake tongue reached out and just like touched the girl's ears.
I'm pretty sure that's a thing that only happens in movies, but it does happen in a lot of movies where the bad guy's just like, oh, I don't think anyone is around that could possibly hear this.
Yeah.
Whisper something sinister at you.
Oh, how you like that?
Like a secret truth.
I do like that trope.
I like that trope.
And someone pointed out recently, I like the trope where the good guy's like, you killed my father and the bad guy is just like, you're gonna have to narrow it down.
I actually really like the trope where we seamlessly segue into the next segment where we talk about headlines being leaked.
It's time for Cues in the News!
From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Cues in the News!
At breakneck speed!
There's so much news!
Let's get right into it.
America is terrible.
God bless.
We debated where to start and we settled on we just kind of have to start with the worst, biggest news in that the Supreme Court of the United States of America In a 6-3 decision, cited with a case that effectively overturns Roe v. Wade.
What I wrote down here cleverly in the headlines is decision of the last century.
Get it?
Nice.
That's good.
That's good.
I'm a genius.
Conan O'Brien, why haven't you hired me?
Let me write for your podcast or whatever.
Whatever it is you're doing nowadays, Conan, because you're not doing much.
I know that much.
Yeah, I think he just has a podcast, Conan O'Brien Needs Friends or whatever.
We can't get distracted.
Look, Lord knows I would love to get distracted.
But we need to focus in at least for a while, talk about how horrible this is.
We need to talk about this incredibly bad thing as much as none of us really want to.
Especially because, just like the people making most of the decisions in the country, we're unqualified to talk about it because we are white dudes.
It does not affect us.
We're going to be just fine.
I live in a state that had a trigger law in effect.
We weren't even one of the states that had an old law that never got taken off the books that was invalidated by Roe v. Wade.
Our awful governor made a new one that couldn't do anything unless this happened, and then as soon as it did, boom, snap, the one final abortion clinic that was in St.
Louis had to stop.
Doing abortions.
Yeah, I'm really rooting for you guys to make it to the year 1990.
It's gonna be very exciting for you guys.
I'm here with you.
Somehow Kansas is more advanced.
They have it on the ballots in August to see if they're gonna ban abortion fully.
Abortion rights?
You're not ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it.
Oh my god.
God, it's been such a fuckin' awful week.
Unsurprisingly, it turns out that when you let Republican dickheads pack the very tiny Supreme Court with a bunch of goobers, those goobers will at some point start doing the thing they were packed in there for.
For a while, like, Kevin, I was just like, yeah, I'm pretty cool.
Like, you know, I'm voting on, like, the right side of a lot of this minor stuff.
It's like, okay, well, at some point, we all know the other shoe is gonna drop.
Well, guess what?
Yo, it's the other shoe.
It's here.
It's dropping.
And then Clarence Thomas getting in there and just being like, on top of me not liking this, I also don't like any of the other liberal shit you stupid, uh, heathens are doing.
This gay marriage and this, like, you know, absolutely not.
Like, none of this.
We should look at all of this stuff.
Let's revise all of it.
Oh, I love the fact that, like, the best part about Thomas's bullshit was that he's like, yeah, we're gonna go after birth control, gay marriage, we're gonna criminalize homosexuality again.
But oddly, he stopped at interracial marriage.
That was so awesome that the one ruling that actually impacts his life, that was the one he wasn't gonna look at, which was I do like that Samuel L. Jackson called him out on that and called him an uncle, Uncle Clarence, which is something Samuel L. Jackson can do, but if you don't understand the reference, you can look it up.
I mean, that's cool and all, but unfortunately these people, they just get to be up on there for life.
So that's a fun thing.
Unless they decide they don't want to be anymore, but it's just forever.
So that's a cool thing about our government.
It's really sweet.
Yep, our incredibly well-designed system of government has been made in such a way that we now literally have nine unelected officials who rule over us completely and totally, and there's really no recourse to fixing this situation.
Because, I mean, at the moment, I mean, we literally would have to win the midterms, build a bigger Senate majority, and then have those people in the Senate actually agree to packing the court.
And then, and this is the one thing I would love to bring up to everybody who's like running around their hair on fire, screaming and yelling about, we need to do something, like something needs to happen.
It's like, I just hear so many people like pissing and moaning about the fucking Democrats and how much shit they suck and all this other stuff.
Let's say the miracle happens.
Let's say that we tackle the unicorn and capture it and we obtain the ability to pack the Supreme Court and suddenly we now have 13 justices on the Supreme Court and this shit all gets fixed.
Guess what that locks you, dearest liberal who hates the cringe Democrats, what that locks you into?
That locks you into a lifetime of voting for the Democrats.
Because if the Republicans ever get the trifecta themselves, then we're going to have 17 Supreme Court justices.
And then 50 years later, when the Democrats get the trifecta, we'll have 21.
And that packing versus counterpacking versus recounterpacking will never end.
Is that necessarily bad?
I mean, I sort of like the idea of an America like 300 years in the future where the Supreme Court is like a council of 200 judges.
I'm totally okay with that, but I'm just saying that if you want to, once you've uncorked, once you've unleashed, packed the Supreme Court genie from the bottle, the other side gets that right to do the exact same thing.
So, boy howdy, you need to not let them do that.
You need to prevent that from happening, at least in your lifetime, and then your kids can get fucked when the other side wins out and they get to do it.
Okay, well, let's cool our jets vis-a-vis General Roe v. Wade ranting, because Lord knows we can get back onto that.
And let's get down to the brass tacks of specifically talking about why QAnon thinks this is a big win, because I have to imagine that they are da-da-da-da-da loving it.
Yeah, that is ostensibly why we're here.
Okay, so the thing that's really funny about why QAnon thinks this is a big win is because you have the two, like, Worlds of QAnon.
You have reality where, and the reality-based argument about this shit is abortion is murder, blah, blah, blah.
That nonsense, which, if you want to tell me life begins at conception, I will argue until the cows come home.
There is no, there's nothing on this earth that I would love to argue with more about than that shit.
Well, with the exception of slavery being the cause of the Civil War, which I knew Elle was going to yell at me about if I didn't admit that fact.
So anyways, so that is like point number one.
And like, if we're going to argue that you're going to argue that the other thing is, is this supernatural psychotic bullshit that these people invest themselves into and that they live for.
And that is that Moloch has been draining power from America and the world through the slaughter of the unborn.
Like every abortion is a satanic sacrifice to the dark God and Now Moloch is being deprived of his power.
Because abortion will be outlawed in a large section of America after various and sundry laws go into effect in various and sundry states.
And I actually saw one QAnon promoter posted a question where he was like, what do the Democrats fear most about Rose overturning?
And someone wrote back that like, this will break Moloch's grip upon America and God will be able to reenter our nation and bestow his blessing upon us.
That's hilarious!
That's hilarious because they obviously have no idea how tight Moloch's grip is.
Being part of that firm grip, I have to say, it could not be weakened by such a trivial thing.
It would have to be like the sun exploding or something to open up.
We're talking like Galactus arrives level shit to loosen Moloch's tender grip on us.
I wasn't aware that God had been banished so that he can come back in.
Yeah, I love the way they've constructed their version of Christianity, which is that their god is not all-powerful, that their god is- Yeah, Bolang kicked his ass out and gave us the firm Kung Fu grip.
Like a cosmic-level grip.
A grip so strong that not even God can get up in there.
Kung Fu grip.
Yep.
God, it's so ridiculous.
And the other thing I love is that, again, beyond being all-powerful, God's supposed to be all-loving, so he's supposed to be cool with us no matter what we do.
His love is supposed to be unconditional, but God saw all the abortion going on and was just like, nope, bad, bad America.
And I've seen a bunch of people talking about how God will now bless the states that have banned abortion, and the states that still allow it will remain cursed.
Like held under the sway of Baal and all that good stuff.
So they really believe in this just cartoonish version of the world where supernatural forces are battling each other.
And like basically the currency they're fighting over is fetuses.
It's like Shudder!
Yeah, there's just supernatural stuff happening around but you know not enough where people are flying because we don't
have the budget for that and Also, all the people that matter are Caucasian
Tell me again why for second means are okay like I Just what why is that okay, but a
Abortions are, no matter how early they are... Oh, and once we get into Griswold, we're going to get rid of a bunch of birth control because a bunch of legislators in all kinds of states don't understand what is birth control and what is a quote-unquote abortion drug.
And they're just like, Uh, IUDs, uh, they could cause an abortion.
We're gonna outlaw them.
I mean, they just... Yeah, Missouri is actively trying to, again, Missouri actively trying to make IUDs illegal.
I do not understand.
I'm gonna put up my tinfoil hat and say that at some point, like, the The sinister cabal of people that rule the Republican Party got together and they were just like, we need more young Republicans.
We need to make sure that people that believe in the stuff we believe in are having big, uncontrollable families for which they can raise into racists to fill our ranks and tell them about how great the white race is and that all the stuff they learn about in real school is bad.
I can't wait for the crime wave in 20 to 30 years that Freakonomics is just like, hey, like, crime dipped off real hard here after, like, a generation after abortion became legal.
But, you know.
I'm sure that will be a coincidence.
Yes.
And I'm sure the Republicans will step up to really beef up public programs to assist in a bunch of, how do you say, unwanted children being born into the world.
Now, Mike, Elle asked you a moment ago what Q Anon thinks about Roe v. Wade being overturned, but I have the distinct displeasure to be able to ask you, what does Q think about Roe v. Wade being overturned?
Well, I mean, I don't know how we would ever know that, because Q's been gone for nearly two years now, so obviously in his icy silence, oh wait, oh fucking wait, right.
So.
The evil, like, explosion of the Roe v. Wade decision stirred Q himself from his digital slumber.
Like so many astronauts uncorking a reed of repulsa, now Q is back.
Yes, in Ryleth, Dread Cthulhu lays dreaming.
On Ait-Kun, Dread Q laid dreaming.
Wow, I make a Power Rangers reference, you go straight to Lovecraft, you think you're better than me?
Yes.
Absolutely.
I already had the Lovecraft tuned up before he went to Power Rangers, so I didn't think I was better than you.
It was just what was in my head.
I had to say it.
Yeah, well you're not, because he was a racer.
I was going to call it the Q-sleep, referencing both Marvel Comics and Norse Mythology, so I'm better than both of you.
You could do, you could pull a Frosty and call it the Quote and Sleep.
Oh uh, for the record when he mailed me that new, that new uh, Moose Boosh Bump,
he did say that he was thinking of sending me one where every word had a Q in it,
just to fuck with you.
But then he was like, nah, I'll play it straight.
Well, that's because he knows the rule of threes, man.
You gotta get there in three.
I saw on the night that the Dreadlord Q returned, the first three Q drops are pretty fucking lame and cringey.
Yeah, so, and speaking of Frosty, here is his rendition of the first Q-drop of Q's return.
Shall we play a game once more?
Yep, that was Q's big return, just going all Wargames on us.
Yeah, I mean, look man, I'd like a reference and all, but fuck it, it's your first post in like 16 months or whatever, bring some heat!
Bring a little HEAT!
Oh god, no, no.
This is the return of the Mac!
We should be excited about this.
This has gotta be good for our numbers, right?
I mean, Q's back!
Q's back, and everyone's gonna be loving it.
It's just like, it's like new Coke, man.
Like, it's here!
And everyone loves it, and it's definitely the same as the old stuff.
Oh god, oh god, absolutely.
And so after Q's opening salvo of absolute lame weakness, some people started- I haven't seen it in a while, but I seem to remember- I watched it when I was like in my mid-twenties, and it still held up.
Wargames.
Little Matthew Broderick, back before he was a murderer.
Oh god.
If only Q found out that the only way to win is not to play.
If only he had learned that lesson.
Our world would be so much better.
So Q arrives, and after he arrives, a bunch of people start talking.
They start yammering on the chan boards, and they're just like, yo, Q, what was going on there?
Why'd you dip out on us?
Why did dad go to the store to get some cigarettes?
What the fuck?
Before we get too deep into the actual content of the posts, How do we know that it's Q?
Let's start there.
Several people have claimed to be Q, and I know that we're going to need to get more in depth on this down the line.
But to start, for the people who might not know, how do we know that this is Q?
Basically the way Q identifies themselves is through what's called a trip code.
So basically when you're on a QUN and you type in your password, it generates a bunch of symbols that are mostly alphanumeric.
A quote unquote secure trip code will have like exclamation points at the front of it and The trip code identifies the user of the account so that only you can have that trip code.
And that is how Q identifies himself is through the trip code.
So for the time being, the assumption is that we know that this is Q because their trip code matches previous Q trip code posts.
Right, exactly.
And the thing is, is that once we get through the ridiculously dumb bullshit of the stuff that Q posted, then we'll get to explain why this trip code thing doesn't make sense.
And this is the first of what is an increasingly ridiculous series of fuck-ups and mistakes that the person who was posting this shit, which is almost assuredly Jim Watkins, did to unmask himself as a colossal dum-dum.
Okay, but for the moment, new posters show up, trip code matches, it's Q, baby, he's back.
Yes.
100%.
And his followers have some questions for Daddy.
Right.
He's been gone for a while.
Yes.
He came back, did he even bring back cigarettes?
A little handshake?
Yeah, he's gonna explain things.
It's a very satisfying answer.
So here's Q's fans asking him questions, and then Q answering those questions.
Throw us a boon, Q. We've been waiting for what seemed like an eternity.
What's going on?
It had to be done this way.
God dammit.
Yeah, I mean, that is how I imagine a lot of QAnon folks sounding.
Just like cartoon idiots.
What?
A little bit of surfer.
It was good.
I liked it.
A little point break in there.
Love it.
Yeah, so the second return Q post is, it had to be done this way.
It had to be this way.
Couldn't do it any other way, guys.
Nope.
Sometimes you just have to not post for a thousand millennia through a lot of weird shit that your cult-like following would probably want a little guidance on.
Yeah, remember when we stormed the Capitol on 1-6 and we all said it was a deep state plot?
I could not have given you a heads up not to go to the Capitol.
And all that was because Donald Trump lost as the incumbent president of the United States.
Right?
Hillary Clinton is still somehow just roving the street.
Pelosi's out there just menacing children.
Where were you, Q?
Yes!
Where were you at all this time, Mike?
Oh my god.
Yeah, because the last Q Post was in December 2020?
Yeah, December 2020.
It was the We're Not Gonna Take It Trump fan video that got DMCA'd.
So yeah.
And then they took it for 16 months.
Exactly.
We're not going to take it indefinitely.
That's what I meant with that post.
Right.
Give me my wisdom!
Oh my god.
It had to be this way.
So far we've got a WarGames reference and the world's weakest excuse for being gone for 16 months.
And they'll just eat it up.
They'll eat it up like the thinnest, weakest gruel because they haven't been fed in so long.
I've seen the justifications of the Q idiots on Twitter already.
It's just, god, it's so pathetic.
Oh, they had some numerology that the first- Yeah, they did.
The first Q post and this Q post were 1700 days apart.
Boom, 17.
Oh yeah, all the 17s!
My god.
Quick, call up the Scions of Ymatria to come out here and decode some wisdom from these numbers.
Yes.
Oh my god, yeah.
Fetch us your finest sage of the Ymatrian arts.
The third one's pretty fucking lame too, if I remember right.
Yeah, the problem with the third one is that it was, this is the most effort he's put into any
post. And the third one is bad because, uh, kind of tell him queuing on, you might have to saddle up.
Might be some problems going on here.
You might have to take care of them.
Are you ready to serve your country again?
Remember your oath.
Mm.
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
The Oath of the Digital Soldier.
That's what Q is referencing.
Yeah, this spawned a whole wave of those idiots retaking the Oath of the Digital Soldier, right?
Including General Flynn and his family.
And then when...
Yeah, and then when the family sued CNN for calling them QAnon supporters, they were like, yo, you took the digital oath.
Like, fucking fuck off.
The truth is an absolute defense against slander or libel charges.
We called the state a state here.
You can't prove that they were swearing a digital oath to Q. They could be swearing that digital oath to anyone.
Like this is true, man.
It's just so, they're all so lame.
Yeah. So now, now we get into the rake stepping bullshit that happened with Q and why Jim
Watkins so aggressively beclowned himself here. Now, the first thing that happened was
right before Q started posting on the, on the boards of 8kun, there was what's called a salt
alteration.
And what a salt rotation is, is basically the trip code that gets put on the screen is a combination of your password and what is known as the salt on the back end of the server.
So basically, if your password is yellow and the salt is blue, your trip code comes out as green.
And then if we change the salt to red and you put in your password yellow, your trip code will come out orange.
And everyone was noticing when they got on the forums, they were like, hey, wait a minute, my trip code's different.
What the fuck is going on here?
Was there a salt rotation?
What's going on, Board Administrator?
Why did this happen?
Why was there assault rotation?
And everyone now has to scream, Hey, remember that guy that posted all that sweet Nazi propaganda?
That was me!
My trip code got changed!
And there was all this confusion on all these boards, and then somehow, someway, Q was still posting on their old trip code, and it was just going through with no problems.
Which is impossible after a SALT rotation.
Your trip code has to change because you can't put in a password that will give you your old trip code back.
It's an impossible to decipher thing.
So your password was always going to generate a different trip code.
Okay, so timeline of events.
For me, the smooth-brained idiot, Q shows back up and starts posting.
It is verified that it is Q because he has the same trip code as he did before, but then it becomes revealed that prior to these new Q posts, the message board they're posting on went through this thing called salt rotation that would forcefully have changed everyone's trip code, including Q, So when that person came back posting under that trip code, it should not or could not have been the original queue.
Correct.
There's no way.
What it is, is there's no way that trip code could have been generated unless the person doing it had access to the back end of 8kun and had the ability to create what's known as a vanity trip code, where you actually type in your trip code directly because you want to present a specific trip code that can be seen by other people.
And you can only do that at the administrator or higher levels of 8kun.
So it could be OriginalQ, but only if OriginalQ also had admin access to the message board.
Right, exactly.
So, and as it stands right now, we know roughly the entire cast of who has administrator access on 8kun.
It's the Watkins.
Almost full stop, right?
It's the Watkins, and there's this guy named Babyfist, who goes by Babyfist, is his nom de plur on the internet, and all of the various minions of the Watkinses who help administrate 8kun.
This trip code situation makes it so that Q has to be either the Watkins or one degree removed from them because there's just no way you can do this.
There's no way you can have this trip code come out the way it did unless you're actually able to fuck with the back end of 8-Kun.
So unless, like, the military intelligence operation is literally elbow to elbow with Ron and Jim Watkins, they couldn't do this.
They could not manipulate the server this way to get the trip code to come out that way.
So at this point of the Sordid Tale, either Q has admin access, or, which means that they either, you know, are connected to or are one of the Watkins.
Or, one of the walk-ins or someone connected to them has decided to hijack the Q identity and start posting under it.
Right, exactly.
So, is there any evidence to support that it may be one person over another?
Like, I heard you say that you said Jim Walken stepped on his own dick.
So, when does his dick get stepped upon, obviously?
Okay, so what happened is, and give me a little rope here, but what happened here was all these posts from Q, these original three posts, there's a second identifier that you get when you log on to 8kun, and that is an ID.
And all these posts by Q were done under what's called the Tor ID, the dark web browser called Tor that you use when you When you want to go to the weird places on the internet.
And the Tor ID for 8kun is always six zeros.
It's just zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero.
And back when 8kun was coming back online, it was being DDoS attacked constantly.
There were occasions when Q would post under a Tor identification.
And so this isn't new.
And again, you still get the same trip code, even though your identification is the six zeros.
So Q made another couple posts.
Uh, the first one was whining about Ruby, was, was talking about Ruby Wade being overturned.
And on that one, it was really weird because Q was like quoting themselves.
And it looked like, basically what it looked like happened was Q forgot to put in his, uh, trip code.
And he made a couple drops where he literally signed them Q and, um, Then he was like, oh shit, I forgot to put those on the hashtag.
So then he grabbed them and basically did what would be like a quote tweet on 8kun, where he grabbed those two posts and then finished them up and then posted all three of them at once under a Qdrop.
And at the end he was just like, establishing comms, established.
And so, that was... Oh my god!
The comms!
The comms!
They've been established!
Finally!
Yes!
At long last!
Don't worry guys, if it looks like some bullshit was happening, it was just comms being established.
And now they've been formally established, so don't worry about it.
Right.
But if in the future there's ever any other issues, it will be a comms test.
Yes.
So samurai, right.
So, so yeah, right.
So, so then what happened was, uh, Q then posted.
And what's really weird is that like, usually Q like takes a long time to chew
on the news and come up with some commentary.
Usually Q is slow to action.
But after the Cassidy Hutchinson testimony, Q jumped right to his keyboard and got got clickety clacking in the way on them keys, and started talking about how There was a plant involved, and QAnon's trying to figure out if it was Cassidy herself, or if it was her lawyer, or what was the setup, what was the operation, like, what was Q trying to get at with, like, what was an aggressively Riddler Q post?
And the thing was, on this post, What's so funny about this shit is that if you actually try to find a Q, a Q drop in the wild, it's really hard because they're just on these like threads of bullshit.
And people are just posting fucking anything you want, like neo-Nazi bullshit, pornography, this, that, the other thing.
And then a Q drop just like falls out of the sky into the thread.
And really the only reason why people catch it now is because they know to look for that trip code.
They know that the archiving sites will find it and all that kind of stuff.
So what happened on this thread?
is someone was talking shit about Jim Watkins and a user with the ID 422CCC replied back to the person talking shit about Jim and then said, you sound envious.
And then someone, the guy that Jim was talking, they talked shit to, replied back to them.
It was like, Jim cleared things up for me in the uppercase, lowercase, like sarcasm font that people use.
And then replies back, don't know.
So.
Like it's basically it's either someone either Jim himself defending himself or a bootlicker of Jim Watkins defending himself.
And this guy coming back at him and being like, fuck you, bro.
Jim Watkins sucks.
And then the next post in this thread is a Q drop that uses the trip code, because the first post by the ID 42CCC didn't have the Q trip code.
But this one does.
It does have the trip code, but again, it still has the same ID, which is the 42CCC.
And then the person on the thread is just like, is this a Q post?
Woohoo, I just got Q'd!
Jim Watkins, you're so obvious!
Wait a minute, so even people on the boards are looking at these posts and just being like, yo, this is obviously Jim Watkins.
Yes, exactly.
That was essentially Jim Watkins making a Q-drop post, but with the digital version of him being just regular Jim Watkins wearing the glasses with the big nose and fake mustache that says Q on it.
Right, exactly.
So what happens here, so this Qdrop with the identification, and by the way, when you're doing a regular, when you're regularly posting on 8kun, your ID is part of the server side and part of your IP address.
That's how they create the mix and match that gets you your identification number.
So if you're using a VPN, your ID number will be different every time if you connect to different VPN hosting sites.
So the ID is a form of a kind of a fingerprint, and this same ID was on these two things.
And then, not Jim Watkins, because this is totally not Jim Watkins, realizes, oh shit, I just posted this Q drop with this ID that absolutely fingerprints me.
So he goes into the back end of 8kun and starts pulling on the tubes and starts clicking on the data set.
And when you go to any of the QAnon archiving sites, you'll see all the IDs that were regular are regular, and you'll see the IDs that are TOR are the 000.
The screenshots have the regular ID, the 422CCC.
On the archiving site now, that QDROP has a TOR identification.
So back end of 8-QN, they tampered with the ID to give it a TOR ID and not the actual ID when it was posted.
So they have the heat they saw they fucked up and then they were like, oh shit we fucked up like
Reconfigure that post to look like it came from a Tor server and not from Jim Watkins VPN
Okay. So now that we know what happened What's your take on it?
Do you think that this is just proof that Jim Watkins has always been Q and that he just fucked up trying to hop back?
into the saddle or Or do you think that this is him taking on the Q mantle and fucking up, like, you know, grabbing the football from Ron?
Like, what do you think is going on here now that we know the facts of what's going on here?
I don't, like, I can't say, I mean, I'm still working under the assumption that Ron was doing the heavy lifting back in the day, but this is, like, 100% Jim just being a complete moron and not understanding, like, how to do this stuff.
And I talked to Frederick Brennan, and he says that, like, whenever you see Jim in front of a computer, he's got, like, one million tabs open.
He's just one of those people that just cannot, cannot close out a tab.
And that he was probably bullshitting on one tab on the forum, and then, like, forgot that that was the tab that he was bullshitting on, and then decided, ah, I'm gonna write a Q-drop, and then just did it, and then oopsie-doopsies, and then he was, like, scrambling to clean up his own mess, and... I hope you feel a little bit lighter now that you have dropped that name.
I was talking to a friend the other day at a big deal, and my good friend Fred and I, we discussed a little thing about Jim Watkins.
It's a name drop in a very specific community.
My best friend Fred and I are now going to go to Cancun together, it's going to be great.
It's not here, then where?
Oh, God.
Hey, hey, keep flattering him.
I'm working.
I'm working on getting an interview with him for either solo or on the group pod.
So we're I'm pulling for this.
So yeah.
But yeah, so yeah, basically, that was because a lot of this stuff before this podcast, I had a that was a conversation.
I was basically I went to him and I was like, Fred, explain this to me like I'm a moron.
Absolutely baby step me through this.
And I'm sure that because you're not a complete idiot, you do know what you're talking about, that when I ask you to tell me what his Twitter, me in the audience, what his Twitter handle is, you'll be able to immediately pull it up and that Twitter handle is...
Oh, it's like a desk.
His handle's too long.
It's fr underscore Brennan.
That's Frederick Brennan's Twitter account, so you can follow him.
Although the only thing I will warn you, and he also warns people, is that After the eight-kun QAnon drama blows over in a week or two, most of the stuff he's going to talk about is font creation, because he just loves making fonts.
That's what Frederick Brennan's passion is, is just making cool fonts and allowing people to download them and use them for themselves.
Honestly, I checked out some of his stuff, because I do like fonts.
I felt like if we were going to be talking about that sick name drop, we should at least shout about, like, direct people to where you can go to get a little science direct from one of our sources.
Yes, absolutely.
That's a good place for him to be.
So this is all our buddy Jimmy Jam just really wanging himself over by not knowing how to use his own platform, or at the very least trying to do stuff too quickly and not being diligent enough to cover his tracks.
Yeah.
Right.
Absolutely.
And the other thing that I've been hearing is that, like, there was this thought that the That Q is using TOR because if anyone, if Johnny Law ever came knocking on their door, which might be happening with this 1-6 heat getting up there and Jim having been, Jim already having testified before Congress and Ron Watkins now doing this whole thing where he's like, I will not accept testimony before the corrupt 1-6 committee because I'm fighting for people's freedom here in Arizona and blerdy blerdy.
Like, so there was like a thought that like maybe one day the FBI be like, Hey, give us the person who posted those Q, uh, comments.
And like a VPN isn't enough because then like, uh, the eight couldn't would rat you out to the VPN.
And then the FBI would go to Nord VPN and be like, yo, give it up.
And then eventually one thing would lead to another and something would happen.
But when.
If they had the plausible deniability of TOR, the ADC would be like, dude, that was a TOR server.
We don't know shit about shit.
You can't get into TOR.
So the fact that they had a fucked up QDROP that was actually done from the light web and not the dark TOR web, That could have potentially opened them up to being like, yo, who wrote this?
We know that they probably used a VPN.
Give us the provider.
We want information.
We want access to it.
So that was like one thing.
So the fact that they had a Q drop under a regular identification And then we're like, oh, no, no, no, no.
And they went right to the fake tour thing to cover it up.
That was very interesting.
So clearly nobody in the QAnon following is buying in this, right?
They all have to be hip.
They all have to be wise that this is not their Messiah.
This is some pretender to the throne.
Oh, they are still.
Oh God, they're, they're, they're, they're licking the boots of fake Q so aggressively.
Well, it's really funny cause you have so many eight controls that are just like, yup, this shit's bullshit.
This guy ain't Q and we know it, we figured it out.
But I have yet to see any major QAnon promoter like dare to step out of line.
None of them are willing to do it.
None of them are willing to look at the situation and be like, the Emperor has no clothes.
Nope, they're looking at this and going, oh man, look at Q's brilliant new clothes.
Just, man, he's dressed to the nines, that sexy Q. Not Spooky, not Matrix, not Julian.
Julian's rum did a hardcore, like they're all doing these, they're working so hard on that plant Q drop and like trying to suss out what it means and they're like, oh yeah, they brought Cassidy Hutchinson's in and she gave that false testimony about Trump going for the steering wheel and that like unravels that testimony and other people are going to testify about the rest of her lies.
They're going to bring the whole 1-6 committee down because she was the plant.
Like, they're still working it.
They're still just pretending they didn't see Oz behind the curtain.
So pathetic.
Because they need it.
They need Q to be real.
I mean, these were the people that were fucking pretending the truth social Q was Q, when truth social Q was literally doing the, how do you do, fellow kids, act.
Like, I mean, that was the fakest, larpiest account in the history of fake larps.
And QAnon was still just like, Daddy's home!
And then... But this time around it is a little weirder that they would be...
So willing to accept some obvious flimflam because, like, it's hard to argue that the Roe thing is not a win for Team Evil.
Like, they actually did just get a big win.
You'd think they would just be riding high on that and that, like, it just seems like a really weird time for Jim Watkins to just be like, and Danny Q's back!
Maybe.
You know what I mean?
Like, it just seems like a weird play to just be like, oh, and now I've returned, and I'm just the same as before.
Don't worry about it.
Yeah, I never quite understood why they stopped in the first place.
Maybe just because they were so afraid of January 6th, and like, there's a bit of heat on this.
Yeah, maybe this is just a big enough wind to draw them out of the cave.
Well, I mean, the thing is, is that like Jim Watkins had said that he thought Q was going to go away after the 2016 election.
Cause basically I think what happened was Jim Watkins just thought Trump's going to lose.
And then this shit's going to lose a lot of steam and it isn't going to be relevant anymore.
And him and Ron probably felt the same way.
And they've just, they really just didn't see the power of Q and the fact that
people want, people were going to want the LARP to keep going, even if Trump
lost, like Q could be disentangled from Trump and just kept rolling.
And they just didn't have the foresight to understand that.
And then.
Probably watching truth social Q gets so much attention for the past, like,
like four months and seeing all these idiots, like running around praying
medic doing decodes of truth social Q posts and all this stuff.
And then Jim Watkins sees that Roe v. Wade got overturned.
And because he's, he's thinking of this exclusively in like a political way.
Jim's just like, well, we just got this row reversal done and we're probably going to win the Congress back in the midterms and we're going to have all this momentum going.
So.
Why wouldn't I bring Q back?
Like, just try to catch the wave as it's going up, and I'll be able to ride that wave for, like, two years, and who the fuck knows what's gonna happen in the 2024 election, but... My God, is this the storm wave?
Yeah, it could absolutely be the storm wave.
100% the storm wave.
It's been a while since we've dusted off the old storm wave.
It's been a while since we've dusted off the old Q.
Yeah.
So like, I just think that was the situation that Ron, that Jim was looking at this thing being like, I could have two excellent years of shit posting his Q with like positivity and energy in the movement because Biden winning like, um, Like, we're absolutely losing.
The 1-6 shit looks really bad.
Everything sucks.
Like, it's just... There was really... I just don't think he was in the proper headspace to try to come up with, like, counter-arguments for how things were still going well for Team Q.
While all this negativity was going on.
So now he's just in such a better spot because he's like, we're on the ascent.
Victory is ours.
So now I'm going to start talking shit.
Now I'm going to jump back in the queue saddle.
And basically within five posts, he managed to just completely just unmask himself and turn himself into a giant clown.
And it's, it's just, it's incredibly ridiculous.
Oh, one, I'll finally quickly add, So all these Tor posts, uh, the boards that Q was posting on did not enable Tor posting until hours before Q first posted back.
So literally again, the admins changed how those boards worked so that Q could come on and do those first three posts under a Tor server.
So, so much of the work they did involves like Q being absolutely just like hand in hand with the administrators of 8kun, like every which way.
Like, all plausible deniability, all claims of, oh, Q just uses our forums.
We don't know him.
We don't know who he is.
All of it's completely out the window with what they did with these posts.
It's just absolutely... If you believe this shit, if you're still pretending that Q is not involved with the Watkins, you're LARPing.
You're just a grifter running an angle and refusing to acknowledge reality.
That's all there is to it.
Well, that's fun.
What an incredible and triumphant return from a Q, if probably not the Q. I mean, at the very least, somebody who's Q-adjacent or Q-like.
The RC Cola of Q. I feel like Ron could get in a little more trouble for going back to being Q as he's trying to run for Congress right now.
I don't know what would be illegal, but I think there's a few more eyes on him than previously were.
Oh, the moment Q started posting again, literally, like, every debunker on God's green earth was just joking and they were like, how long is it going to take before Q endorses Ron Watkins' run for Congress?
Like, how long before Q just makes a Q post that's literally just the link to Ron Watkins for Congress?
And it's just like, hey guys, you should check out this true patriot who's running for Congress.
Send him some money.
Give him your vote.
Totally independent thought on my part.
I have no relation to Juan Ropkins in any way, shape, or form.
Just your local super secret spy Q, just giving you a little knowledge, a little heads up of a candidate I like in this election.
I saw his picture, his campaign pictures with his gun and his little cowboy hat looking like an action figure, and I thought, you know what?
This guy should be in office.
I really like this guy.
He's great.
Yes, exactly.
So, it'll be interesting to see how long this knockoff queue sticks around, and whether or not they ever get their shit together and stop making these sort of blunders, and then the larger queue at Oddbase just sort of forgets that they're not the original queue.
It's just Ron, or Jim, just constantly being like, uh, constantly calling Ron, being like, hey, how do I do this?
Goddammit, Dad!
Stop doing that!
Wait till I lose my primary!
I'll go back to being Q then!
I gotta be a serious politician now!
I gotta let people know that their rights will be... kept.
Man, he has to be at least a little pissed off to have somebody essentially continue his series, but with a different sort of voice, and it's not very good, and it's not fooling anybody.
The whole point is that you're supposed to be tricking people into thinking that it's the same author.
Yup.
It's so dumb.
He's like, God, Dad, if you're going to do it, you need to at least do it right.
You're serious!
Send me the drafts first!
Yeah, exactly.
Oh my god.
There's no way that they write this shit out beforehand.
Oh, no.
I mean, again, if you look at the screen grab, from the thing where it's like, guy shit-talking Ron Watkins, guy defending Ron Watkins' Q-drop, it's so obvious that it was just like a fuckin' spur-of-the-moment thing where, like, Quote-unquote, not Jim Watkins.
It's just like, I need to get in a Q-drop about this 1-6 hearing thing, and this motherfucker's going to Jim Watkins?
I'm gonna show him a thing or two!
Okay, back to my Q-drop!
I mean, just, like, in no way, shape, or form was he, like, sitting back, like, just... He was shitposting, and then mid-shitpost, he posted a Q-drop.
He just didn't fucking be like, okay, Jim, focus up, do the Q-drop, then go back to shitposting.
He was like, nope, just Q-drop, midstream, shitpost.
I love that completely real tweet from Ron, where he's like, the January 6th committee emailed me and asked me where they could subpoena me, and I told them to pound sand, and it's like, that's not how they would do it, bro.
If you're running for Congress, they'll just go subpoena you.
Yeah, you're a public figure.
They'll find out where you are.
They'll have someone go to Arizona and look for you, and they'll find you, and they'll hand you the subpoena physically.
Maybe Jabot lifts his back as Q because he was furious that he didn't rate enough to get subpoenaed.
No, Jim Watkins just testified.
Oh, did he?
I must have missed that.
Did someone not talk about that?
Was it so boring that we didn't discuss it?
Yeah, because it was a closed session.
He just went in and did a deposition, the way most of these guys did.
Food, no way, trot him out, get his big weird spider mustache in front of some cameras.
About whether or not he's cute, and I'm sure that he'll be a savvy liar, just like he is on the Chan boards.
Or the Coon boards.
Yes!
You wanna represent?
He's gonna be so savvy, you'll never guess.
Just like it's done in that documentary, where he's just like, yeah!
He just gave up the ghost.
Totally not cute, wink!
Oh my God, he rolled so good on his deception check.
I have no idea.
He's clearly not Q. He said it right to my face.
Yes.
I'm sure that our listeners are probably beating down our door with some questions this week.
So let's see what we can answer before we shuffle off.
Our listeners got questions.
We got answers.
It's time for Q and A.
So, uh, Eric Hayden opens up by saying, so many questions.
Dobbs, Salt, Mystery 1-6 committee guests, Sergeant at Arms Death, WTF, I'm gonna go to basics.
How are you feeling right now?
How are you guys taking care of yourselves in these bizarre times?
I don't know.
It's, it's been hard.
Like, Missouri is fucking extra double rough right now.
And, uh, Yeah.
It's been real shitty.
Just, I don't know, enjoying media that I extra especially like, that I know I enjoy.
Stuff like that.
Marijuana is legal in the state in which I live.
That's the shortest way to answer that question.
But I've also been, like, getting out a lot recently.
Like, just the other night, I went out to have cocktails with my friend to celebrate an achievement of theirs.
And, you know, we're going on dates and stuff.
So, you know, just sort of, like, staying active in a way that might be slightly irresponsible because coronavirus is still a thing.
But at the same time, I would be lying if I said it wasn't a lot of fun to just be sort of out and about doing things like playing miniature golf.
Yeah, I'm just I was up until today just going going along to get along.
I was just I got I got the big promotion at my job at my job.
And that entailed me from being this stationary blob to being a kind of active blob that would
walk around and patrol the area and make sure that all my dealers are doing their jobs properly.
And because I was walking a lot, I kind of got addicted to walking.
So I was very studious and aggressive about walking at least five miles a day.
And then about a week ago, I had a blister on my big toe pop, and that led to me now
being a limpy cripple with now a really bad foot.
And that sucked.
And eventually I was like, you know what?
I need to stop walking.
So I like taking a break to cool off.
And then today I saw the doctor and they were like, yeah, Okay, here's what you gotta do.
Here's your prescriptions.
Here's all your good stuff.
Let's, like, wrap this thing up like a mummy.
And they gave me a slap on the butt, sent me out the door.
And then as I was driving home, stopped at the convenience store, and the brakes on my car went out.
So I... Yeah, just a real bang-up, super deluxe, awesome, fun day.
So besides that, I would say that I'm laughing so I don't cry.
That'd be basically the best way to describe the way I'm handling this right now, because...
Yeah, I mean, I'm in a blue state.
Everything's great.
I'm a white male.
I'm protected from most of the nightmares of the Supreme Court and all that fun, but it sucks.
It really sucks that this is the path we're going down and that we're in it for a long... We made a lot of work to dig ourselves out of this ditch, and that's just the way it is.
It sucks.
And beyond that, just now I get to, uh, like, I don't know, just deal with shit.
That's life.
I wish that was more upbeat, so.
Oh yeah, I mean, that was, uh, that was some strong B-D-E.
Big Depressing Energy.
That's what I'm here for.
Uh, anyways, moving along, uh, Reverend Xenofag says, let's continue the Q and D RPG.
You identified it.
You identified classes last time.
So let's flesh this out.
What are the major actions, abilities, or attributes?
Grift, shitpost, wine.
I think we got into that a little.
Uh, I would say like meme crafting would definitely be like a skill set.
Like, like the, the higher level you get, the spicier and more effective your memes are at like being able to like pill people and sway them to your argument.
And like, there could be like different traits in that, like more effective graphics, more persuasive arguments, like, um, I think all that stuff would probably involve having a high charisma, but I also think intelligence would matter for being able to make sure that your argument was cogent.
Yeah, I know that when I think of QAnon, I think of high charisma.
I'm just like, wow, what a bunch of charismatic lads.
I do like the idea of shitpost, meme, and grift being like sort of like those do seem
like they could be key words in a game.
So I would like to hold on to those.
Those would be great.
Resistance to tear gas.
Resistance to tear gas.
How about just a hypocrisy resistance plus infinity?
Yeah, there you go.
Resistance to soap?
That'd be a really good one.
Boom.
Denial of critical thinking.
I don't know.
Celibacy.
Celibacy is the one weird trait where the more of it you have, the less happy your character is.
No, it's like the Cthulhu RPG where the more you go, the crazier you get.
So the QAnon one, the crazier you get, the more celibate you get as they intersect at some point.
See, I think the higher your celibacy level, the more powerful your other stuff becomes.
If you're the maximum amount of celibate, if you are a true incel, then your QAnon powers are literally primed.
Oh, man.
Open carry could be a power.
Oh, yeah.
For when digital soldiers have to go non-digital.
Yeah, it could be like Shadowrun, where you're a decker and then you have to go into meatspace, so you have both sides of it.
You gotta take the digital soldier's oath so you can become a paladin.
Oh, P.S.
You're like whiteness rating?
You're caucasity?
Caucasity is a perfect thing.
Oh God, so good.
Yeah, so we have memeing, we have shitposting, we have grifting, we have caucasity.
That sounds better than whiteness.
Well, you know, sometimes The Caucasian experience is more like a way you feel and not a color of your skin.
Most of the time it's the color of your skin.
But you can behave in a very Caucasian manner regardless of skin tone.
It is true.
I've seen it happen.
Usually in retail establishments.
I forgot the other words.
Ability to hear dog whistles?
Oh yeah, I guess, is racism, is like racistness its own stat?
Intolerance, does it just encompass all of them, or do we want to splinter it off?
Well, it would be like forbidden knowledge, like racist arcana, like you actually have like, you understand these things, you see the tropes others don't get, so I can...
Yeah, you're at Ye Olde Tavern, and someone makes a reference to you, and because you have that high level of racism arcana, you're able to detect their racism, and you're able to tell the rest of the party he's on your side and he's a good egg.
Everyone else is like, I don't know if I can trust him.
You're like, dude, we can trust him.
This is why he said those words to us.
And everyone else is like, oh, sweet.
Well, there we go.
Nobody tell the Gygax family.
We don't want anybody to sneak this one away from us.
We've really hit oil here.
It's going to be beamed.
Yes.
So, Confidently Befuddled asks, I'm seeing the religious Q influencers saying that Roe v. Wade being struck down at 1010am is a reference to Q using 1010 in a post, which is a reference to Bible verse John 1010, which is a reference to abortion.
So my question is, is it just references all the way down?
And the answer is yes.
It's absolutely that.
They never stop looking for references.
And if they can't find a reference one way, they'll find it another.
Everything is about connecting some bullshit to some other bullshit.
Dapper Gander did a really good thing about how you can decode anything to mean anything if you
just look hard enough. Because if there was a Q drop, if something happened at like 730 at night,
you can look at Q drop 730. And if that doesn't work, then you can check July 30th.
And...
And if that doesn't work, then you can go military time and try Q-drop 1930.
If you just keep fucking with the numbers, eventually you're going to hit something that creates a quote-unquote connection that makes it that you're like, oh shit, I did it!
Q-proof!
Boom!
Vindicated!
Well, I hate to break it to you, Mike, but this time you're wrong.
It was a reference, but the 10-10 in question was a reference to 10-10-2-20.
Q was trying to save you some money on your collect calls.
Boom.
And that's going to be probably your most obscure reference of the pod.
Thank you so much for joining us!
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba!
Okay, I'm done celebrating.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
We're going to have to literally just join you doing that as our outro theme.
10-10, 220.
Wow.
I'm not going to lie, it jumped to mind immediately.
I had to Google it to make sure that it wasn't a thing that I was making up in my brain.
And I was vindicated immediately.
Apparently Christopher Lloyd did one of those commercials.
Oh, God!
Everyone's going to have to believe it!
We have to save money on collectibles!
Hahaha!
So, John1010 is actually, quote, the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.
And if that's a reference to abortion, then Jesus Christ, are you reaching?
So... The thief!
The fetus thief, you see.
I mean, they don't spell it out, because why would they?
But the subtext is there.
Find a fetus, kill a fetus.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what thieves are known for doing.
Murder.
Yes.
I love that they're just like, the thief is only here to steal and murder.
It's just like, why don't you call them a murderer?
Yeah, or the criminal.
I mean, it seems like you had them pegged as just someone who stole property and then turned them into a murderer, which is a little excessive for that.
Oh man, somebody broke in here and slaughtered my whole family!
And would you believe that motherfucker also stole all my stuff?
What a piece of shit.
What a thief.
Exactly.
Oh man.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Go watch the Bojack Horseman episode about abortion or something.
Yeah.
So Nark asks, have any of you guys ever been so ferociously attacked in public like Rudy?
And if so, how many nights did you spend in the ICU recovering?
Yeah, I was in the army.
Yes.
That level of attack was an everyday thing.
Everyday occurrence.
I used to scrap when I was a young teen.
I've been in many a scrap.
Well, I should say up until my early teens.
Because when I was a younger lad, I would also scrap.
I would scrap.
So yes, I've been attacked in manners from light tapping all the way up to full-on actual hitting.
I think the funniest thing that ever happened to me and like a sort of like the funniest physical assault I ever suffered was I was I was sitting at a poker table just stretching and I had a dealer like run up behind me and just start I don't know why he was doing it but he just started like grabbing my elbows and like lifting them so they were like above my head And he really had no idea that, like, I have the world's loosest, most easy-to-dislocate shoulders imaginable.
And, uh, yeah, like, uh, when I started screaming like a baby, he realized that he'd made a mistake.
So that was really... And he was like, oh shit, I had no idea!
And I'm like, yeah, that's why you don't touch people.
Because your shoulders are not bowels.
That would have been a bit... Little did he know that I had the loosest, most easy-to-dislocate bowels.
He took that as a mechanism.
Yeah, he's like a squid.
Oh, actually, I forgot.
One time a punk rock little person assaulted me with a dildo in public.
Like, right in the mouth.
Of all the foreign objects to have shoved in your mouth in public, a dildo is most dubious.
You really hope that it's fresh out of the package.
You want a freshly unboxed dildo.
Yeah, you really, really did not want that one to be coming at you secondhand.
That would be unfortunate.
So I just prefer to imagine the dildo that assaulted me as being clean and fresh and new.
Well, here's to hoping on that front.
Cleodora Silvestri, messing with your—messing, comma, your, comma, CSV says, is the Kraken getting released soon on good behavior?
And if so, will he be reintegrated in society as a productive member or once again be tempted into the grifting lifestyle that got him in the legal hot water the first time around?
I would like to hope that the Kraken can be redeemed.
I think the Kraken has a good soul.
It's a giant, like, mythological sea monster.
Oh, the actual Kraken.
I thought we were talking about somebody whose last name was Kraken.
And I was very confused.
Yeah, I thought this was, like, a person in Q lore that I didn't know about there for a second.
No, if we're talking about the actual mythological Kraken, that old boy is going to be just fine.
This Q-Shit will blow over and he'll go back to being associated with that weird new hockey team.
Was it the Seattle?
Yep, the Seattle Kraken.
Wow, how do I know that?
I don't fucking care about sports.
He'll go back to being associated with the Seattle hockey team and piracy.
And he'll put all this Q-Shit behind him and it'll just be like a fun phase he went through.
He'll tell his grandkids all about it.
Yeah, just around the 2020, I decided to hitch my wagon to this QAnon shit for a little while.
It was a wild ride.
Tried to do an insurrection in America.
It was great.
Smoking a giant underwater cigarette.
As one does.
JustLiz asks, Kate Awakening says there are no dumb questions, only dumb attitudes.
What's your favorite dumb attitude?
I don't know.
I guess a denial of reality.
I don't know if it's my favorite, but it's the one I encounter the most.
No, my favorite one is the ability to look at a random string of numbers and not see it as a random string of numbers and just be like, that means something.
That one never ceases to just make me go, what?
Like, how did you get there?
My favorite stupid attitude is the righteous Anger slash pride I feel simultaneously when somebody tells me that they like a thing that I think sucks.
And I'm just like, yo, the shit that you like is bad, and your taste is bad, and you should modify your taste to be more like mine, which is great.
Because I know that that is like a bad way to do things, but it still really makes me feel good.
It's not my favorite trait about myself, but it is a true one.
I'm opening up to you, dear listener.
When I get to correct somebody about their crappy opinion, I really love it.
That is my favorite stupid attitude.
I think my favorite dumb attitude is the internet troll who refuses to actually state what they believe in, but will definitely let you know that your opinion on the subject matter is wrong and bad.
So then when you, when you try to get, basically it's a debate tactic where they refuse to have to stand for anything.
And I love it because when you engage with it, you can just tell what they're doing and they're just so proud of it.
They're so proud of the shit they're pulling.
And it's just like, okay, fine.
I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to give you your victory.
I'm going to block you.
Then you're going to take a screen grab of my block and you're gonna be like, Oh, just totally own poker.
Oh, he couldn't handle my sick rhetoric.
Oh, debate win number 1000 for like Cook Slayer 2069.
It's just like, and it's like, yep, you, you got me, bro.
You got me, buddy.
I've, I've kind of learned like the people that you can talk into blocking you.
And then I've learned that the people that you, you, you need to block.
So I've actually learned like which arguments are like fun for me and engaging.
And the arguments for me, they're like, Nope, this guy's just doing this.
Cause he knows how to argue in a way where he'll never actually have to be pinned down on anything.
And, and that kind of conversation is fucking useless.
So no, enjoy your, enjoy your win.
Here is your win token in the form of me blocking you.
So yes, that is an easy way to debate people online though to do you just argue them in circles by never actually
saying anything It's great. If you ever want to intentionally annoy
somebody like these people who annoy Mike rains, you can also use that tactic
It's great. Are you from a position of just really having no position except whatever the opposite of whatever they
say Yeah, and the final question is from Tutter who?
to do that.
This is our first legendary L quote tweeting the mailbag question and actually getting a reply direct to L's quote tweet.
What is your favorite kind of cake is the question we need answered in this trying time?
So my honest answer is no cake.
Because all cakes are bad.
If you're talking about traditional cakes, because for me, to be a traditional cake, you need to have frosting involved.
It's one of cake's two components.
There's the actual cake part and then the frosting that is the part, ostensibly, you want to think is delicious.
I think frosting blows.
Like, buttercream frosting is like the best of the bunch, but I'd still rather just not have it in my mouth.
I don't want it.
I think frosting is gross.
Uh, so my favorite cake, and I don't think this is a cop-out because it is a very hot take, is a pie.
I think that pie is way better than cake, and I think that essentially any pie is better than the best possible cake.
However, I will say, I'm not sure how much it actually counts as traditional cake, but I went to a wedding one time where they had tres leches cupcakes that were among the best things I've ever eaten.
So, is a cupcake a cake?
In which case, I will take those tres leches cupcakes, please.
But if cupcake is its own category, then my favorite cake is pie.
And this is why this is the question we needed in this trying time.
Because that was an incredibly insightful answer.
That's my hotcake take.
Not only do I think pie tastes better, generally, I think it has better mouthfeel because there's both a lower crust, which can be baked to several different textures, and a top crust, which generally has the same sort of texture but is always great in the mouth, feels really good, satisfying to chew, to some great mouthfeel.
But also, cake is way less versatile than pie, because pie, you can have sweet or savory.
Not super interested in a meat cake, like a savory meat cake, but very interested in savory meat pie.
Now we're talking.
That sounds delightful.
Like an empanada.
Uh, yeah, like your empanadas or your just like chicken pot pie.
That's just a very like protein savory pie.
It's very good.
Chicken pot cake.
I don't know about all that.
Sounds kind of wet.
Are pancakes cake?
I mean, that's not for like, I guess... There is a pancake cake.
The Japanese have pioneered it.
See, I don't think I'm qualified to answer that because as a hater of cake, I feel like those sort of questions should be answered by lovers of cake.
Like, like the pizza debate about whether or not a Chicago deep dish pizza is a pizza.
I feel like only, like, true pizza lovers should be having that debate.
If you're like, if you're just sort of like, yeah, I give or take pizza, then stay the fuck out of it.
It's not, it's not your, it's not your fight.
This isn't your fight.
Stay in your lane.
So I guess continue to tweet at me if you'd like.
We'll go over all of our socials at the end of the show, but continue to tweet at me.
What counts as a cake?
Because if we're talking about, like, is cheesecake a cake?
Because that opens up a whole Duvald game.
You know what I mean?
Because cheesecake is a wildly different experience that is, in some ways, much more similar to pie.
So we're sort of getting into the weeds there, but I'm happy to do it.
Engage with me on Twitter and continue to maybe ask cake and or pie and or other food-related questions in the mailbag.
If there's one thing I know about, it's food.
I love food.
I'm a big fat idiot because I love food so much.
So Sarge, you got a hot cake take?
I like cake in general.
Almond frangipane is a good cake.
I have to be careful with cake.
There's a lot of dairy in it, so I don't get as much as I used to.
I just like cake in general.
Uh, I do agree, uh, because I like the texture of cake, but too much frosting can definitely ruin a good cake real quick.
Just like, so, uh, on frosting, I think less is more, but I do, I like frosting and cake.
So, uh, did vanilla cake.
I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cake.
So there we go.
Yeah.
I would say that my favorite cake is, again, we're going to have to go to the judges for a ruling, is pound cake, because I love pound cake.
But if I have to do a traditional cake, then vanilla.
Vanilla with vanilla frosting.
I'm the most boring milquetoast person on earth.
That would be my go-to cake.
That's where I would stand on the great cake issue.
Also, I hate to belabor the point, because we were just about to get out of it, but is coffee cake a cake?
Because of the fake cakes, I feel like that one sort of got the most of the original promise of what cake is supposed to be, but without the frosting.
Instead, it's got a crumble of other delicious stuff on it.
So if coffee cake is cake, also, now we're sort of talking.
Uh, I think it is, because it has that... Cake is really in how you prepare it, right?
I mean, you can call anything a cake, but, like, we're going for that, like... I think of, like, a sponge cake as a... as the classic definition of a cake.
I also like a strawberry shortcake.
But that's, like, a whole different thing.
It's got a different sponge, it's like, you know... Anyway, it depends on how much of a stick you want to be for cake.
And that's the final word on that.
Yes.
And that's the bottom line, because Nancy Pelosi said so.
That's exactly how we're going there.
So, brought to our final question, the question of numerous as always is, what are you guys looking forward to?
I am so, like, I didn't bring up earlier, but my partner this last week got COVID, so I am just looking forward to being able to see her again.
Somehow my, so far, knock on wood, my one-punch man-like immune system has protected me from the COVID.
She got it.
I was with her for a full day afterwards and somehow I have managed to not get it.
But I have not been able to really see her for the past three days.
So I'm looking forward to being able to see my partner again.
Along similar lines, I too am interested in finally being able to spend some time with Serge's partner.
It's been a few days.
No, sorry.
Go fuck off.
You know what they say, the juiciest fruit hangs the lowest.
I too choose this man's dead wife.
Yeah, you can go hang out with Ricky Gervais.
Hey, you know what?
We're both exactly the same person.
In fact, Scooby-Doo style, I'm about to pull off my master.
It's been me, Ricky Gervais, the whole time!
I identify as an attack helicopter!
Boom!
Nailed it!
Christians!
Trans!
I hate them all!
What I was actually going to say is that I too am excited to hang out with my partner this weekend because I have not seen her in about a week due to her having to deal with some medical issues of her own.
But in addition to that, I am also excited for Thor colon Love and Thunder, which is coming out next week.
And I also happen to have it off from my place of employ.
So I will be rounding up some of my goon friends to go see Thor colon Love and Thunder in theaters.
It'll be great.
How about you, Mr. Mike Rains?
What are you excited for this week?
Just relaxing.
Oh, relaxing and because I'm gonna have like really nothing to do because I can't run around as is my want due to my foot and not gonna have a lot of driving to do because of my car, I am going to be sucked back into Netrunner with you and one of our other friends who've been telling me to get back into that game that I love so much.
I'll tell you, you would feel my secret shame.
I have four tabs open on my browser right now.
One of them is the one for our recording site and the other four are Netrunner database tabs.
I have one open for Netrunner database information because I'm going through the deck lists.
I'm going through the cards that are illegal in the format you guys are talking about.
I'm very upset that Chaos Theory and Magnum Opus are not available to me.
I knew you wouldn't be able to cry about it.
Shut up.
Shut up and cry about it.
Yes!
But yeah, so I love that game.
When I win Powerball or Mega Millions or Elon Musk decides to make us all multi-millionaires so that we can be his propaganda arm, I will buy the rights to that game from Wizards of the Coast and make it good and awesome and fun for everybody.
But until then, I'll play the homebrew Nescae version that we're doing right now.
So that looks like It'll be a good time.
And I'm also going back into Slay the Spire, because I only killed the heart with the first two characters.
So I've got to try to kill the heart with the Watcher and the Defect.
So I'm getting on that train as well.
Good stuff.
Sounds like some good getting away from it all, which we will continue to do by jumping upon our mighty steeds as the sun majestically starts to sink below the horizon, painting Hellworld a beautiful tableau of orange and purple while we majestically ride away from it like true cowboys.
