The Adventures in Hellworld podcast talks in depth about Q&A, 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, a.k.a.
Poker and Politics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
I am joined, as always, by Sarge.
Hello!
It's me!
I did, like, a hand gesture that you guys can't see because this is an audio medium.
Incredible work, Sarge.
And the mysterious El.
Hello, my beautiful babies.
We're all crushing it.
Well, I did crush it.
I was going for vaguely Mediterranean.
I want to emulate my favorite actor, Russell Crowe, and his tremendous performance in Thor, Love and Thunder.
Russell Crowe was in it?
He's Zeus, is he not?
Is he?
I believe so.
Yeah, I think that's just fat Russell Crowe.
Well, okay.
Learn something every day!
Doing his best, like, Greek immigrant accent is really funny.
But you know, the difference is I'm not getting paid like six figures to do that or whatever.
Russell Crowe was like, I'll do a terrible accent, but I'm getting at least union scale for it.
You're gonna have to hook me up.
And they're like, fine.
So be it.
Whatever you want, Russell Crowe.
You got a name.
Yeah, you're one of the many named actors that we could just stir into the Marvel soup and just, you know, put your name on a poster and hope that we don't Eternals it up.
Oh my god.
That movie?
Yeah.
Anyway, it's time to talk about QAnon shit, I suppose.
That sounds like a fun idea.
Yeah, let's talk about some fun dumb QAnon shit.
What are those clowns up to?
It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
Get ready for the Amuse-Bouche.
Hell yeah!
The new Amuse...
The new Amuse Bump!
So in this week's Amuse Bouche, we have a headline, Daddy Daddy, Please Stop Fighting, because QAnon's two favorite daddies are currently brawling, and that being the proud defender of free speech, slash world's richest man, and therefore also world's apparently most attractive man, because we keep fighting out he's got secret kids.
Elon Musk vs. the God Emperor himself, Donald Orange Daddy Trump.
Why are our daddies quarreling, Mike?
What's wrong with our daddies?
Well, apparently, Musk made a comment about how when it comes to the 2024 primary that Elon, now proud...
Aggressive Republican Elon Musk has decided that when push comes to shove, he's probably going to cast his vote for DeSantis in that primary instead of Trump.
This led to Trump at a rally calling Elon a bullshit artist.
He sure did.
And that Elon's attempt to purchase Twitter was obviously fraudulent, and he never intended on going through with it, and he was just a lying sack of shit.
And um... This just in, not news.
That's not news.
Yeah.
And then Elon responded to all of this by saying that Trump needs to just hang up his hat and walk away, that he's too old.
Trump's no longer the new hotness.
Trump needs to gracefully leave the public specter, the public sphere.
And the Democrats, for their sake, also need to stop threatening Trump with jail because If the Democrats keep threatening Trump with jail, then
Trump will have to win the presidency to obtain presidential immunity from jail.
Was that a, was that the like truth or whatever social media post I saw that Trump made about Elon Musk?
Was that true or did somebody doctor that?
Because if that's true, it's the most incredible thing I've seen in a long time.
It actually sort of made me root for Donald Trump in a small way.
Oh yeah, the truths where Trump was going at Elon were real.
The way he was just like, if I had told him to get on his knees and beg for it, he would have.
I was like, oh yeah, that's right, oh shit!
Also, for what it's worth, Elon Musk, get at me if you need more good life advice like this because I will sell out.
I mention it every episode.
Yeah, we talk about it all the time.
There we go.
I've got our quota for this episode nailed it.
Yeah.
There you go.
But Elon Musk, get at me and I will give you hot advice like this.
Dude, trying to play ball with Donald Trump when he is coming after you is not the way to go.
Elon Musk is one of the few people on the planet He just needs to pivot hard.
I think he should turn on a dime, and he should just come at Donald Trump.
He should just be like, keep my name out of your mouth.
You are a weak, feeble old man who thinks that he's rich.
I am worth $400 billion.
I'm worth so much more than you.
Yeah.
You shut your stupid old mouth.
I build rockets that go into space, and I'm worth endless cash.
You're nothing.
You're nothing.
I could buy all of your property in an instant.
I could crush you like the worm you are!
Yeah, I'm now looking at the actual truth from Donald J. Trump.
From truth.
Yeah, from truth.
Quote, when Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocket ships to nowhere, without which subsidies he'd be worthless, And telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, drop to your knees and beg, and he would have done it.
That is how you say savage.
Elon could also work in his scandals with all these mystery children coming in.
He could just be like, Donald Trump is a weak, old, poor fool.
I'm a hyper virile rich king.
What the fuck do I care about Donald Trump?
All of Trump's businesses have gone bankrupt.
Mine have not.
Yeah, don't you all want to own Teslas, you stupid idiots?
Like, tell the old man to shut his mouth.
I feel like if I were Elon, I would be leveraging my huge social media presence and my endless amount of wealth to, like, if Trump wants to come at me hard, I'm coming back.
Like, you just brought piss to a shit fight.
Yeah, oh my god.
The amount of QAnon chud brains that would explode if these two actually started coming after each other.
Oh my god.
Oh yeah, I mean, right now, QAnon's reaction to this is what they always do when their daddies start fighting, which is to start screaming that it's kayfabe, which is the funniest thing in the world because they're the ones to think wrestling is still real.
I mean, they're the ones living in this, like, hyper meta universe where God and the Devil are having a ruckus and Trump is this This angel-blessed champion of light and virtue and like George Soros and Nancy Pelosi are literal demons and
They live in this like, just hyper crazy lunatic fantasy.
And then when they actually see like two petty spoiled brats, like having a little slap fight on social media, they're just like, Oh no, they're faking it.
They're faking like Elon and Trump know that they have to pretend to be rivals in order to machinate the plan properly so that we can, they can defeat the deep state and save the world and It's just so funny because the kayfabe argument that they love to use as an example for this was when Trump was just viciously going after Jeff Sessions after Sessions left the Trump administration.
Sessions tried to run for the Alabama Senate seat that he had resigned in order to work for Trump.
And then Trump, who hated Sessions because Sessions recused himself and let the Mueller investigation happen in the first place.
Trump was like, I put all of my efforts into having Tommy Tupperville win the primary against Jeff Sessions.
Fuck Jeff Sessions, that piece of shit.
I hate him.
I want him crushed.
To which QAnon was like, aw, those rascals.
Aw, they love each other.
They're the best of friends.
Don't you worry.
And then when Tupperville beat Sessions and Trump was like, boom, take that Sessions, you piece of shit.
I ran you out of the Republican Party.
I ended your political career.
QAnon again was like, aw, he's just joshing.
Aw, that kidder Trump.
Sessions didn't want to be a senator anyways.
That was just all silly sillies.
Yeah, they do bend themselves over backwards to make everything make sense.
Well, yeah, I mean, otherwise, like, the scales would fall from their eyes if they would wake up to the fact that everything they've been believing for a while is a lie, and that would probably cause them to lose themselves, and not in the good Eminem way, in the bad madness way.
I wonder who hosts True Social.
I wonder if Elon Musk could just buy the hosts for True Social and then just shut them down.
That would be amazing.
And when reporters ask him why he did it, he could just be like, I wanted to show Donald Trump that I have way more power than he does.
I would like you to print that, please.
I want that to be the headline.
Elon, colon, this is how much more power I have than Donald Trump.
End quote.
Print that, WAPO.
Is that because you know it's great because Donald Trump is just like he's traded for so long off of his image as being rich but like Elon Musk is like actually rich he gets like he gets like weird spooky space girlfriends that are also like international pop stars that like knocks them up and that Donald Trump is like like an orange multi-millionaire who kind of wants to have sex with his daughter or whatever so yeah and it's not really any comparing the two Yeah, and he is so hard up for sex, he sleeps with porn stars and then has them sign NDAs so he doesn't, like, get his current wife mad at him about it or whatever.
I mean... I love how you can tell that we're definitely not, like, reporters or whatever.
We're not journalists based on the amount of times we say or whatever.
I don't think that's how journalism rolls, so if anybody ever gets mad at us for being fake journalists, just be like, we were never journalists, all we do is say or whatever, we don't follow up on things, who cares?
Yeah, well one of the things that Al brought up there was the fact that QAnon's worldview would collapse if this bizarre meta-kayfam ever crumbled.
It reminded me, Like, when Q showed back up, and by the way, our daddy Q, the third daddy in the current QAnon Holy Trinity, he's still on vacation.
He went back out to the store for some smokes after his year and a half long... Oh, did he?
Yeah, sojourn, off for cigarettes, and then he came back home.
Q daddy got back in the car, drove away, and we haven't seen hide nor hair of him for quite a little while now.
But, uh, Prang Medic had a post where he was just like, Q came back and said it had to be this way.
He doubled down on his, like, year and a half long of silence and Biden winning and all that stuff.
And it just, like, further cements that, like, we're standing in a situation where either this is the greatest LARP of all time and we've been fooled, or this really is the greatest military intelligence operation of all time.
And it's like, well, when you put it that way, Right.
When you put it that way, guess what?
I now know why it's so hard for you to admit you were fooled, because you're the one tripling down on this shit.
You're the one, you're even admitting, hey, if I admit this is fake, I am admitting I've been fucking wrong for like four years now.
So I mean, it's like, like you're literally saying, I have backed myself into a corner.
I have aggressively backed myself into a corner and I have no way out.
I have to keep believing or else my self-worth just crumbles before my eyes.
It's just like a guy at a blackjack table, and the dealer's just like, so you have a 15, what do you want to do?
And he's like, double down, and then behind him is a guy with a gun, like in the small of his back, just sweating bullets.
He's like, no, I'm sure I want to do it, please, please double it.
it. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. Anyway, yeah. Let's, let's, let's, let's move on from the Abu's
bush into some, uh, some real big boy headlines.
I mean, because at the very least, thankfully, we won't have to talk about Elon Musk or the new Q anymore.
Oh yeah, absolutely not.
From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News.
So I guess we should start with Elon Musk, who we are of course still going to be talking about, because this is the nightmare dimension of Hellworld, and this is sort of how it is.
He gets to be our version of Pinhead.
He's been making money moves.
You made the podcast!
I came!
So yeah, but because of our QAnon bit, we have to talk about stupid shit such as the following!
QAnon is convinced that the big, soon-to-be-disastrous fallout of the Elon-failed-or-slash-bapped-out-of-deal-to-purchase Twitter is actually secretly a huge win for the good guys because of Discovery.
Mike, how excited should we be about Discovery?
Oh, we should be so incredibly excited about Discovery, because oh my God, is Discovery going to totally shatter and bring Twitter down like you read about?
It's just... These absolute children who are thinking this, and apparently one of them is Elon himself, because Twitter has Twitter has made their filing in court about Elon's declaration that he's no longer buying Twitter for $44 billion, which, as Twitter has brought up, no, you are.
You literally signed a contract saying that you were doing that, and we are going to enforce that.
I've heard a lot, a lot, a lot of people talk about how like earlier on or in the contract, there's like a billion dollar back out fee.
And there are people who think that this is about the 1 billion.
It's not, it's not about that.
Elon signed for the 44 billion, he waved due diligence, he's on the hook for the whole
thing and that's what Twitter's going for.
Twitter is saying you are about to own one Twitter, in exchange for that we receive 44
billion dollars.
So basically...
It's a two-way street.
QAnon and all these other people are reacting to this by saying that like oh
Discovery is gonna prove that like Twitter was lying and they were
That there it's all bots and it's all they realize it goes both ways
It's a straight a street Twitter gets to dig into Elon shit just as hard and I don't think he wants that
Yeah, and also well more importantly do they realize that Twitter has?
before forever essentially in perpetuity always told their
investors yo We estimate the number of fake accounts is 5% and we know
that that is an underestimation like straight up what we We know and have always known that that number is low because that seems to be the case.
And all of the reporting I've read about this, as it floats across to me, people are just like, yeah, this website, this upcoming lawsuit does not look great for Elon Musk.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, like, Elon himself, apparently being one of these pilled morons that thinks discovery is the ultimate weapon to destroy somebody.
Has a meme, and it's basically just a meme of him progressively laughing harder and hardier as a series of captions are placed beside his laughing face.
And it begins with, they said I couldn't buy Twitter.
Then they wouldn't disclose the bot info.
Now they want to force me to buy Twitter in court.
Now they have to disclose the bot info in court.
And it's just, oh, I totally got them!
Oh, my 11-D chess worked!
I have defeated Twitter!
I'm so smart!
Oh, does Mr. Musk like memes?
Because we have a Musk meme on the show.
It goes a little something like this.
And of course that is in reference to his apparently decrepit penis that he alleges if he were to sexually assault someone by exposing himself to them against their will, they would be able to eyeball his penis immediately and describe it like a court sketch.
And because he is not bragging about his penis being large, we assume that means that his penis is terrible.
So, phantom of the peen it is.
One million USD will kill that joke, Daddy Elon Musk.
call my people.
Uh...
I mean, yeah, this guy's a piece of shit, and his shit keeps getting shittier.
Elon Musk is such a piece of shit.
Earlier in the show, him being on the opposite side of something made me think that Donald Trump seemed kind of cool for a brief moment.
Now, Elon Musk is fighting Twitter, who I also hate.
And I'm just like, yeah, fucking get him, Twitter.
Get him.
He's apparently worth $400 billion.
Get him.
Kill him and eat his flesh.
Like, metaphorically, at the court of law.
Oh my god.
And the other thing I really loved was Elon posted another meme of Chuck Norris with only one pawn in front of him versus an opposing force with the entire set of chess pieces.
And the idea is that Chuck Norris is so powerful he could defeat the other team with only but a pawn.
And I believe that the caption was Chuckmate, which was...
I know that he's just trying to be ironic from digging up a meme from like 15 years ago or whatever, but I like to think that maybe he has cracked time travel and he's using it to meme from 2007.
Oh my god.
He's tweeting from the past, where that Chuck Norris meme would have fucking killed.
Oh my god, he's so powerful.
Dude, get Lemon Demon on the line.
Let's have them make an anthem about how powerful Chuck Norris is.
Yeah, my favorite part about that is that this once again inspired QAnon to go into all kinds of riffs about chess and all this kind of stuff.
And the best part of that was one QAnon follower I saw posted, I wish I knew more about chess.
Which I said, you don't have to worry, because nobody in QAnon, including Q themselves, has any fucking clue how chess works.
Just by asking that question, you are definitely above, like, the top 50% of people that are interested in Q and chess.
Like, just by being like, man, I should educate myself slightly about how this game works.
It's like, wow, you're so far ahead of the curve, bro.
You might be a Q grandmaster.
You might be the best chess player in Q. Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Q has made so many posts about chess that are just like so absolutely incoherently wrong.
Q loves talking about the queen protecting the king and like, when do you go after the king?
It's like, you can get a mate in four.
Like, that's a thing you can do.
There's like a blunder where white can lose in three moves if you want them to.
Chess doesn't have to be a long, drawn out process.
You can play very quickly.
It's not...
It's not this taxing thing where you have to play for five hours.
Also, do we want to be pedantic because cute people suck so we can be pedants at them?
Because when do you go after the king?
Literally from the beginning of the game.
That's the point.
Yeah, you're trying to set it up so the king cannot make moves.
That's right.
Checkmate is you acknowledging that your opponent's next move, regardless of what it is, will kill your king.
So, in that regard, from the jump is when you're going after the king.
Literally the moment you acknowledge that a game of chess is beginning.
It's like, yes, okay, let's play chess.
Boom, you're going after the king.
Oh my god!
It would be like saying, when do you go after your opponent's money when you're playing poker?
It's like, from the moment my ass got in the chair.
I'm trying to get their money from the start.
That's how this works.
Mike, the thing you don't know about football is that it really comes down to when do you try to score points?
You know what I mean?
Yeah, it's real John Madden level stuff there.
It's like, you know, there's a team if they score more points, they win.
Right.
Oh, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
It's it's so silly.
The other thing that QAnon brings up a lot that they don't understand about chess is that Q made some incoherent comments about the letter P and like, It starts with the letter P, Mike.
Oh, right.
You've got trouble on this internet.
It's promoted to queen and it's like pawns don't have a, they don't have a letter notation that doesn't exist.
There's no such thing as that in chess.
It's not real.
Like you can't, you're just full.
It starts with the letter P, Mike.
Oh, right.
You've got trouble on this internet, trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with P
and that stands for pawn.
The mysterious L is gonna be the grifter, the chess man.
He's just going to go from town to town running chess clubs.
If only there were some sort of hit Netflix series that is about chess and explains chess, among other things.
I'm just gonna go to the next QCon or whatever and just set up a little chessboard.
When people come up to approach it, I'm gonna be like, oh, y'all don't understand the calamity that's about to befall your poor little convention.
They're like, what?
It's just like chess.
It's the devil's game.
The Devil's Gambit.
I know, this is in anime now, I know the ultimate chess move, the Devil's Gambit.
I'm gonna pull out my old-timey hat, like, hold it to my chest, and just be like, oh, you poor souls.
But sadly, none of this has to do with Elon Musk or Discovery.
This is just dunking on Q because they don't know about chess.
So, what are the actual odds that anything comes of the quote-unquote discovery process from a lawsuit between Elon and Twitter, if one ever actually comes to fruition?
Because right now, both sides are sort of mounting their forces, and like, Twitter has filed, but like, it hasn't actually gotten to the point where their trading blows.
And in any moment, it could just be settled behind closed doors.
So who knows if we're ever actually going to get fireworks out of this.
But if we did, is there any chance that any of it matters?
Um, from what I've been reading from people that like claim they know this and like, what's really funny about like legal Twitter is so many people are like, I know better than all the other fake lawyers on Twitter.
So you need to listen to me about this.
So everyone's the biggest expert in the history of experts, but the people that have actually broken down like Twitter's filing against Elon, like the general consensus is that Elon signed the deal.
So.
And the Delaware courts are very aggressive about this shit because this is Delaware's thing.
They're the home of shady corporations.
If you incorporate in America, if you can do it, if you can buy a post office box in Delaware, you do it.
Because Delaware's corporation laws are super advantageous to the corporation versus anyone else.
Yeah, I mean, there's a reason the WWE is based out of Delaware.
They don't have anything going on there.
They just want the corporate laws.
Right.
So I mean, that's the thing.
It's like the Delaware Court of Chancery, which is the magical phrase you can find on Twitter everywhere.
They're basically on Twitter's side because Twitter is the corporation and Elon's the dipshit that signed an agreement with the corporation.
Like, at this point, I mean, the other side of the argument is that Elon is the richest man in the world, and that when you have that kind of money, you can buy your way out of anything, et cetera, et cetera.
But the $64 question is, like, the power of a corporation, given, like, the benefit of, like, Delaware.
If this was, like, some sort of bizarre meta, like, role-playing game, like, the Sword of Delaware gives Twitter, like, plus five crit or something.
like that, like battling Elon and like the blessing of infinite wealth that he has on his side. I mean,
I'm speaking in the language that QAnon would understand, it would make them enjoy this more,
but like that is the real kind of question. Yeah, Diplo Warrior is a magic sword, Elon Musk has
magic money related powers. Right. Meanwhile, QAnon hate listeners are just like, yeah,
it's making a lot of sense to me now, I get it. JFK's still alive.
I just wanted to throw one in there.
Oh, you prick, because last night, Karma, hopeful listener of the show and sometime co-host of the show, she actually sent me a link to Negative 48's theory on the Kennedy assassination, and oh my god, I threw like six computer monitors out my window before I reinstalled the seventh and finished listening to it.
He's kind of wrong about everything.
It was super hilarious.
But yeah, the one thing that was really disappointing was he didn't get to the part where they resurrected Kennedy with a med bed after they shot him.
Because that's the only way Kennedy could still be alive according to him.
That's what I'm waiting for!
I want my Med-Med resurrections!
Goddammit!
Come on!
No way!
See, everybody's wrong.
It was a single gunman, but he wasn't a gunman at all, because the only way to kill someone so powerful as JFK was with the Spear of Longinus.
So he just, like, posted up in the conservatory or whatever, and then just bombed the spear.
That's why it was just like, oh, magic bullet!
It's like, nah, dude, it was a magic spear!
Spear and magic helmet!
It had the blood of Christ on it, which is how it was able to kill JFK.
Only such a potent weapon could kill the King of Camelot.
Oh my god, my brain is rotted from the inside from too much anime.
Cue it on Hateless and our pass is out for boner.
Blood starts coming from their eyes.
Oh my god, they speak so much truth.
Yeah, guys, bear with me here.
You should listen to this Adventures in Hellworld podcast.
They spend a lot of time talking shit about Q, but every once in a while, they'll drop some serious truth on us.
The Adventures in Hellworld podcast, they got the sickest decodes, bro.
You have no idea.
They're like the deepest cover White Hats.
I mean, you don't even know.
They're always talking about selling out.
Maybe they already did sell out!
Maybe they're trying to pill people and we don't even know it!
Let's decode!
Decode party!
Yes!
Oh god, let's do this.
Oh my god.
It's so dumb.
Well, as fun as it would be to continue talking about Elon Musk and his bullshit, this time we do actually have to move on from talking about Elon Musk.
I'm sure we'll be back.
I am fairly certain.
Yeah, don't worry.
Elon will be back at the headlines at some point.
He's the world's richest man.
And when he is looking at the WWE, he's just like, and another reason Donald Trump sucks, he took that Stone Cold Stunner.
If that was me, I would have given Stone Cold Steve Austin a razor's edge into the commentator booth so hard, it would have turned Jerry the King Lawler into a skeleton immediately.
He would have fallen down into a pile of bones.
Did you pull up a Wikipedia article?
No, I just watched wrestling for like four years during the Attitude Era, so I know some stuff about wrestling from 20 years ago.
The same way I know an abundance about some stuff from 80s cartoons, but if anybody was like, hey man, what's your favorite Turbo Teen episode?
I'd be like, dude, I've literally never seen that show in my life.
The one where he turns into a car.
Yeah, I hear that one's pretty great.
They like have to throw a bucket of water on him at some point.
So funny.
God.
It was Nick's rig.
I don't know why throwing a bucket of water on him really got me.
Alright, so let's talk about some more pleasant news, at least pleasant relative to us.
And that is, Steve Bannon's got problems.
Big problems.
In fact, my headliner here just says that he's boned.
Mike, why is Steve Bannon boned?
Steve Bannon is boned because he and his lawyers tried to get a delay for their trial where Bannon is about to be tried for contempt of Congress, which everyone knew was going to happen from the moment he literally Which he absolutely did.
He literally committed contempt of Congress because basically the 1-6 committee was like, yo, Steve Bannon, uh, give us some documents pertaining to what happened on 1-6 and then, uh, appear before us to testify.
And, um, his, uh, Steve Bannon's reaction was go fuck yourself 1-6 committee.
I ain't going to do that shit.
And, um, after, after that all happened, um, The 1-6 committee hit him with a contempt of Congress charge, and Bannon was like, I'm going to be the worst defendant ever.
I'm going to be a nightmare for the 1-6 committee.
I'm going to rain down hell upon them.
They have no idea the fury of Steve Bannon.
And Steve Bannon tried to get Pelosi on the witness list and a bunch of other dumb bullshit that, again, the judges were like, no, you don't get to put people from the House on trial for this stuff.
You don't get to use us.
We're not trapped in here with you.
You're trapped in here with us.
That's not how this works.
Right, exactly.
So, Bannon tried all these different stunts, and then this week, because his trial date is literally this coming Monday, so the 18th is when his trial starts, so like this week suddenly Bannon came out with, oh wait, I'll testify!
I will totally testify, it's all good, I'm here to have my day before the committee, and He also requested a delay of his trial, and he threw out all this stuff, and the judge in the trial, Carl Nicolas, I don't know, yeah, I think I got that right, but again, we're not- Nicol Bolas.
Yes, Carl Nicol Bolas hit Manning and drew seven cards.
So the judge who, this is the deepest of deep state because this guy was appointed by Trump.
So this judge just, man, it's so weird that Q-team misses on so many things that have happened here.
So this Trump appointed judge told Bannon effectively to go fuck himself and that the trial will be happening on the 18th.
Uh, right before we hit the record button on today's episode, I saw on Twitter that Bannon had made a new appeal to delay his trial.
So he's just flailing desperately.
Uh, and the main reason why I think today's appeal came down was because, uh, during that hearing where, uh, the judge told him, no, your trial is not being delayed.
It's going to start on Monday.
The judge further stated, all the defenses you're planning on using in this case, I will not let you use before the jury.
You cannot claim some bizarre theory of executive privilege, because that's fucking not true.
You can't claim that the committee was illegitimate, because that's not true.
You don't have a legal defense to mount, except that maybe you Well, the judge told him his only legal defense is that he might be able to say he misunderstood the deadline to be compelled to testify and produce the documents.
The judge so thoroughly smashed Bannon in his defense that Bannon's lawyer declared, I don't have a defense.
I don't know why we're going to trial.
Yes.
I mean, and like, it's not for nothing, Bannon's already out on, uh, like Trump already let
him out once. Like, he's, we've already seen him be guilty of other things. It's, it's,
we know this guy is not routinely innocent. He's not the most innocent guy we have. Like,
yeah, he's trying to delay everything because they're going to fucking nail him to the wall.
I'm not gonna lie. I don't think I knew that judges could just straight up tell you that
you couldn't use a certain defense.
I mean, I guess if it just doesn't make any sense or it's not applicable.
That's why all these fucking clowns that are like, I'm going to represent myself, and the judge is just like, no, you shouldn't do that.
You don't know laws.
That's more of like a, hey, you shouldn't do that for your own protection.
This is more of just like a, hey, I'm not allowing you to use these defenses because they are transparently horseshit.
Shut up.
The guys who do represent themselves routinely do that.
That's why I kind of knew this was a thing, because, like, the fucking Unabomber tried to, like, submit a million things and the judge was like, no.
Don't.
No.
Get out of here.
Your Honor, I can't be found guilty of this crime.
I was possessed by the actual Christian devil.
Sir, possession by demons is not a legal defense, but it's my defense.
I'm going with it.
Also, maybe you misheard me.
I did not say some demon.
The big guy himself.
Capital D, The Devil.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Actual possession by the actual devil.
That's totally applicable legally.
That's a get out of jail free card if you can prove it.
Right.
Your honor, THE DEVIL.
Like... Like you're introducing him on stage.
Your honor, THE DEVIL!
Doors bust open, devil comes in with his top hat dancin'.
That just reminds me of that video clip that gets put on Twitter all the time of God, of the current James Bond, whose name I'm blanking on, just saying.
Ladies and gentlemen, The Weeknd!
Oh yeah, The Weeknd, yes.
Absolutely, yes.
Ladies and gentlemen, The Devil.
Yes!
Much like The Weeknd, he's gonna take, like, let's just cut the E out of the word, so it's just The Devil, but D-V-I-L.
Okay, so if Bannon isn't allowed to use any of these cockamamie defenses that would normally be what he's going to use to bail him out, is his lawyer correct in just being like, hey, what's the fucking point?
Is there anything left for them to try?
There really isn't.
When this first happened, basically the first time the prosecution went before the judge, the prosecution was like, our case is going to be like 45 minutes, if that.
We're going to have an opening statement to the jury.
We're going to bring some legal expert in constitutional law on the stand.
We're going to have him explain contempt of Congress to the jury and what its legal foundation is.
That person is then going to answer all of our questions, and after they've done all that, we will explain, did Steve Bannon commit this crime?
And that expert is going to say yes or no.
And I don't think he's going to submit to Biden for the treatment he got from Trump.
Right.
Oh yeah.
I don't think Biden's going to write the pardon for him.
I don't think that's going to be happening.
Yeah.
So, and then like, I mean, Lord knows what the defense witness, the defense attorney can do on cross with that.
But after that's over, the DOJ is going to be like, no more witnesses.
The prosecution rests.
And then whatever clown show Bannon and his lawyers do is their defense.
And then they go to closing and the DOJ lawyer is like, you heard the man.
He did it.
And then that's it.
So, I mean, it's like...
The prosecution has said from the jump this is an open and shut case.
This is literally the man committed the crime and there's nothing to it.
It would be like just playing a tape of someone walking up to someone with a gun and shooting them and being like, yep, it's that guy.
You saw him on tape, you shot the guy.
It's the trial from Idiocracy.
He's gonna be like, come on, just look at him.
Just look at him.
This is a full-on dunkaroo, your honor.
Exactly.
He just passes him an actual package of Dunkaroos.
The judge is like, uh, well, this has no bearing, but I do love Dunkaroos.
Yeah.
Something about that radical kangaroo just speaks to me.
It's not even so much that the cookie or the frosting is especially tasty, but when I see the good, good marketing of that sassy 90s-era edgy cartoon kangaroo, I just can't help but want to put these little cookies into that sweet, sweet frosting.
Your Honor, are you okay?
Do you need us to bring you to the hospital?
He's like, oh no, I just wanted to talk about how clearly guilty this man is, and it got me waxing nostalgic about a cookie from the 90s.
Uh, next, next we'll be showing you every picture of Roger Stone ever as evidence and, uh, fucking look at him.
Just look at him.
Yeah.
So, instead of trying to, instead of trying to prove, uh, prove Steve Bannon's guilt because it's so obvious, we just want to ask you, Your Honor, how are you doing?
Yeah.
How you feeling today?
We haven't seen you lately.
Like, this is, this is nice that we just get to meet like this.
Right.
Fuck, he is so...
He's so guilty, it's gonna be hilarious.
Uh, speaking of being boned, we have a- Oh, so, oh yeah, I wanted to finish up real quick.
So, uh, just for those- for those who's wondering how much hot water- Wow, transition denied.
I'm sorry.
No, keep going.
I thought it was genuinely great.
It was awesome.
Cool, thank you.
Much appreciated.
Fucking stuffed!
Boom!
Get that weak shit out of here, Sarge!
You come hard with the transitions, you don't come at all.
Yeah, I just wanted to bring up the fact that Bannon is being charged with two counts of contempt of Congress, one for not testifying and one for not providing documents, and each count can result in a year in jail.
I was about to ask you, what is this actually by him?
Yep.
So I'm, I'm basically setting the over under and the amount of time he's going to spend in jail at about like four months.
That's what I'm thinking.
And like, that might not seem like a lot, but I can't wait for the day that I can officially, I mean, he's already a convicted felon, but convicted felon in jail.
Steve Bannon is something I'm going to enjoy very much.
Yeah, I mean, all of this over a maximum of two years?
Boo.
Boo.
I mean, I guess it's better than nothing, but at the same time, also boo.
These are felonies, right?
Yeah.
Do we still have third strike rules?
Oh, no.
No, no.
He's not going to get striked.
But the good news is whatever he gets sentenced to, this is federal sentencing, and you don't get half the sentence off for good behavior.
This is 90% sentence.
You can shave off 10% for good behavior.
So if he got a year, he's doing 10 months or whatever.
Watch him at the Club Fed.
Big deal.
Hey, three hots and a cot.
Live the life, Stevie.
Stevie, three shirts.
You've got this.
He could probably use it.
A little yard time would probably make him look less puffy.
He just comes out all prison-swole.
That would be the greatest thing in the world!
He spends like nine months in a federal prison and he comes out and he's just completely yoked.
There's, I mean, what are the, like, there's, so, there's really two things he could come out.
Prison Swole or Prison Dead.
Like...
I mean, I'm pretty sure that he could also, the third option, he just does like nine months in prison and comes out perfectly fine, and then like writes a book or whatever, because everything about our country sucks, which is why we do a podcast about how it flows.
That's kind of the whole point.
This Q&A thing really gives us a good launching pad for discussing all of our nation's horrible problems.
Yeah, everybody's a nightmare.
Even, I'm gonna try again, Ron Watkins.
What's up?
No Geo!
Stuffed again!
Yeah!
Get fucked!
We're talking about Dunkaroos again!
The Dunkarunbacks!
Oh, it's all about the Dunkarunbacks.
I'm here for them.
For real, Sarge.
This time, no interruptions.
But yeah, in our notes here, we have bad news for Ronnie W. What's going on?
So, I mean, the main thing is that we have just the ongoing saga of not knowing where Ron Watkins currently is.
Oh, he's still in the wind?
He's still in the wind.
I mean, he hasn't done anything in public that we can even indicate about.
We, the Ron Watkins Chronicles, which is a telegram channel that is, uh, like, I don't know how to say this other than just, like, truly bizarre, because it's like photos of, photos and videos of Ron, like, quote unquote, on the campaign trail.
There's a, there's a Photoshop that looks like a cover of Animorphs of Ron Watkins morphing into an AR-15 with a bump stock.
It's very strange.
And his most recent posts on the Ron Watkins Chronicles, one involves a 10 second video of a dog pulling on some rope that a hand is like fighting with the dog over, which is very confusing to me.
And the other one is A table and it says with the caption Prescott Valley Republican Women of Prescott Meeting and the table has a series of Ron Watkins buttons, Ron Watkins like mini posters, Ron Watkins t-shirts and hats with a placard reading Ron Watkins Candidate for Congress District 2.
And then it has a photo of a woman and a very skeevy looking dude who is not Ron Watkins, but could be Ron Watkins age like, I don't know, like 60.
He's got the black cowboy hat on and his facial hair is not great.
Yeah, we here at Hellworld in no way condone theft, but if anyone were to not pay money and get Ron Watkins merch, we will set up a PO Box for you to send to us because, oh boy, I want some Ron Watkins merch.
Don't pay money for it, but also don't steal.
Figure that out for yourselves.
Well, I'm pretty sure Ron's giving it away at this point.
I'm pretty sure you don't actually have... I mean... So we don't know who these people are?
They're just fuckin' Ron Watkins sporting weirdos?
He sent us the picture.
I'm looking at it now.
Right.
Because the thing is, is like the first photo has like the caption of the that it's a meeting of this group of people.
And then the second photo has no caption.
It's just like smiling older lady holding a Ron Watkins flyer of Ron Watkins standing in front of the poorly constructed border wall.
He probably has his gun because I mean, that's how you run for Congress when you're a Republican.
And then you have the skeevy weird dude, like, reppin' the wagyu black cowboy hat.
I mean, they're just livin' the life.
Yeah, man, of the jet-setting Rod Watkins, who's so good at jet-setting that we literally don't know where he is currently.
But don't worry about that.
Take this as a button.
Yeah, I'm like, man, I desperately... Before it became, like, bigger, I also wanted Fucking flat-earth merch, but now I can't wear a flat-earth shirt in public and not have some people think it's legit.
Before, I felt like I could get away with it ironically.
Now I just want Ron Watkins merch.
I want a Ron Watkins for Congress shirt so bad, but I refuse to give him money ever.
Wait a minute, so you think that people could look at the flatter thing and not know that you're wearing it ironically, but you're willing to rip a Ron Watkins for Congress shirt or whatever?
That's crazy!
It feels more obscure.
But if anybody recognized that shit, you would be setting yourself up for an actual disaster of a conversation.
Ah, yeah.
Yeah.
It seems like when you low-roll on that one, it is quite bad.
Yeah!
When you roll the one, you are getting an actual Nazi, like, talking to you.
Right, like, I have in my times in casinos, I've run into more than a few people wearing InfoWars merchandise, and I have never thought to myself, hey, you're wearing that ironically!
I'm just like, oh, you're broadcasting the fact that you have a mental illness to me!
Thank you, insane person!
Yeah, you would need to show up wearing, like, a full-on top hat, wax mustache, on a velocipede.
And then like step off of it with a Rod Watkins for Congress shirt for me to just be like,
oh, that guy's being very ironic with that shirt.
Yeah, I don't know how I would have to alter it to make sure people knew it was ironic,
but yeah, the...
You could just like, use a sharpie to write NOT on the bottom of it.
Remember how that was how you conveyed sarcasm in the 90s before sarcasm was just our baseline?
You would have to tell people, you'd have to just be like, oh yeah, I totally loved your performance.
Now if somebody does something shitty, you can just be like, oh yeah, I totally love that.
And they will know that you were full of shit, and that you were making a funny goof.
You don't have to go SEEK!
Yeah, I'm gonna go NAHT the first time someone comes up to me for that shirt, and then I'm gonna go high-five the Budweiser frogs.
And what's up, guys?
Yeah!
Bam!
Bam!
Woo!
I'm gonna say it the next time, like, I am doing coitus with someone.
And at the end... You son of a bitch!
During what you might call the conclusion, I'm just gonna go, NOT!
This is really confusing!
The conclusion?!
Hold on!
Well, I'm not letting you run past that.
The conclusion?
I mean, I thought that you slash the listener would prefer that over me saying, when I come, I'm gonna go, not!
I mean, you could say climax.
I mean, but climax also seems kinda, I don't know, climax seems kinda gross.
Conclusion is classy.
The next time I conclusion in a woman, I'll let you know.
No, not conclusion in a woman, that's disgusting.
Conclude with a woman.
We're both gonna conclude.
I mean, don't worry, I'm gonna get his ass.
My way of saying it is classy.
You've called me out on this and I've stuffed you for a third time.
You did not stuff me.
We're going to the free-throw line.
I mean, we'll let the audience, we'll throw to the refs, and if any audience wants to engage on this incredibly gross and stupid topic, let them do it.
Otherwise we can all pretend like it never happened.
Let us know how long it's been since your last conclusion.
Do not do that.
We are not interested in that.
That was a funny joke that we all loved.
Make sure to message L. His DMs are open.
No, they are not.
I am in a relationship.
My DMs are closed.
I will get back to you if that ever changes.
I'm just not looking for anything serious right now.
All of our listeners at once.
You know what I mean?
It's probably not going to work out between me and a few thousand people.
Oh my god.
So, Rod's still in the wind.
We have this dub picture of this meetup.
What about Pappy?
Is anything going on with Pappy Watkins?
So, uh, Pappy Watkins had some of his testimony, uh, aired from, by the one six committee,
which we are obligated to talk about because he, as we know, is the fake new Q. I mean,
yeah, right.
Maybe didn't listen to last week's episode.
Q showed back up and everybody was like, or was it two weeks ago?
Whenever you showed back up, everybody was just like, Oh my God, it's Q. And then several
people pointed out for several reasons that it was obviously Jim Watkins trying to be
Q.
Uh, so of course people are still pretty split on it because there's evidence indicating
So why would that prove anything?
The fake news media just wants you to believe that Jim Watkins is the new Q. Anyway, sorry to interrupt you, Mike.
Oh god, no.
So yeah, so Jim had some of his testimony before the 1-6 committee aired, and while this has all been going on, Jim made a comment about the fact that he thought Q returned because Q couldn't stand by the 1-6 committee just Getting the floor all to themselves.
I can't stop shaking my head when Jim talks about Q like it's not him.
Right.
He's like, Q had to offer a counterpoint to the 1-6 committee and all the nefariousness of what they're doing.
Which, again, it's like, how would Jim know that Q was up in arms about the 1-6 committee?
You again, Q literally vanished for forever and only came back to try to like surf the wave of euphoria that Republicans got from having the Having Roe v. Wade struck down.
And I mean, Republicans were like, yes, women are gonna die or be forced to have babies they don't want!
This is so fucking awesome!
And Jim Watkins decides to fire up Q and he's just like, time to like, give him another hit of dopamine.
And then Jim was just sort of like, I have no idea what to write.
I don't do Q drops.
Oh, let's just talk about the current news.
And he wrote the incoherent shit about maybe Casey Hutchinson being a plant or something?
Like, basically, that was the one effort post that was made by Q before he once again left our world.
He had to go back to his own planet.
Yeah, we are currently on July.
It's July 13th.
Q has not posted in the month of July.
Q's last post was on June 29th.
So apparently calling Casey Hutchinson a plant and saying, trust the plan, that was all Q needed.
And now the world's been saved.
We're all good.
But think about it, Mike.
You can't spell the word plant.
Without the word plan.
So what Q is telling us is that she's actually testifying.
Yes, she was testifying, but it's part of that 12th dimensional chest that they love so much and that we should really be trusting it.
Oh, right, right, right.
Like us, she's a double, secret, triple, quadruple white hat.
She's got like a stacking doll of hats.
And then, like, eventually, when you get to the center, smallest, tiniest hat, like, it's thimble-sized.
That one's white.
And that's how you know.
Right.
Oh, God.
I love nesting dolls, and I love nesting hats.
They're truly two of the greatest things ever made.
I feel like it's inhuman nature to just like the idea of nesting stuff.
It just seems so satisfying.
Like, a box in a box?
It's like, yeah.
So, uh, the other thing that has been happening was, uh, it seems like the QAnon plan and the Trump plan for the defense is to claim that it wasn't Trump and the good people in the room that were doing the bad things.
It was the wackadoodles because we had the information about Patrick Byrne talking about how Sidney Powell and Michael Flynn were the ones who were in the meeting on December 18th.
And they were the ones saying like, seize the minion voting machines and hack into them and
prove that it was stolen and all this other stuff. Whereas Cipione and the other lawyers were like,
Donnie, you lost. Just pack it in, buddy. And they're trying to work this like story where
like Donald Trump had like an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other shoulder.
And gosh darn it, that devil just got to him.
And that's where Liz Cheney's little quote about Trump not being a little child.
He's a 76 year old man.
He wasn't led by the nose by people to, like, do the wrong thing.
He wanted to do the wrong thing.
He was very aggressively and happily in favor of Operation Wrong Thing.
So, like, it's gonna be very interesting to see how, like, Sidney Powell and Eastman and Flynn and all these, like, chuckle fucks are gonna handle being told that, like, oh no, it was your fault 1-6 happened.
It's your fault you tricked poor Donald Trump into buying into your hokum.
He's such a sweet little boy.
He didn't know any better.
Just love that idea.
Time for Chad Elon to show up and just be like, oh what, so Donald Trump's defense is that he was led astray by a bunch of these stupid people that he appointed to be around him at all times?
What a dumb cuck loser, am I right everyone?
Wow, Chad Elon, you really have a point there, mate.
Yeah.
I just want to be there.
I just want any Republican or right-wing figure or anyone to just say to Trump, yo dude, you lost my 8 million votes to Joe Biden, Joe fucking Biden, who makes toast look exciting, and that guy crushed you!
Go the fuck away!
The fact that no one in the Republican Party has the balls to say that and they all, like, just sort of, like, bow their heads and pretend that, like, the election was stolen and all that because they don't want Daddy Trump to, like, come after them.
It's so wild to me.
Like... Well, the biggest problem with that, Mike, is that you're forgetting The significant majority of Republican voters in America are stupid goons.
They're just dumb goons and they love Trump because they've decided they love Trump and nothing is going to change that because they're stupid goons.
Because at some point Donald Trump Uh, validated their hatred of Mexicans, or their hatred of women, and their hatred of the disabled, or gay people, or whatever.
But at some point, Donald Trump said something ignorant, it validated them, it made them feel warm and fuzzy, and they're just like, I'm a big stupid moron, and I will not come off of this position regardless of what happens.
No, that is a hill.
Now it is time for me to go back to watching season 28 of CSI, Crime Scene Investigation, or whatever.
I'm so happy that was spelled out for me.
I had no idea what CSI was before that.
Thank you.
I mean, you know, like that was that was for you because I know you don't watch the show.
You might not be up on what it means.
Mike's a big touch point.
You're a dumb cuck liberal.
Yeah.
Oh, I have my my total interactions with the the TV show CSI series was one day I was walking on the Las Vegas Strip And it started pouring rain, so I grabbed a CSI hoodie from a tourist trap, and then wore it, and went to a poker table, was card dead for an hour, woke up with Ace Queen, raised to 20, got called by everybody, and a guy from across the table looked at me and said, yeah, taking CSI down!
And... I forgot that show was, the original show was set in Vegas until you said that.
And then I missed the flop and the guy bet and I folded, so he took CSI down.
I was defeated.
Nice.
Second.
As you deserve to be.
Yes.
It is good to get a little actual poker from Migraines, a.k.a.
Poker Politics, on Twitter.
So that's always a fun little treat when it comes up organically.
I like a lot of our references, which may be less organic, where you just get in there, just shout a thing just because we can.
Welcome to millennial humor.
It's great.
Welcome to Millennial Humor.
It's still better than what they're serving up on TikTok.
Boy, howdy.
Boom.
Take that.
Someone's gotta say it.
TikTok humor is lame and stupid because I'm an old man who doesn't understand it.
I'm sure that if I was 15, I think it was a real gut buster.
I was hip and with it once.
Ah, look at those guys.
They're dancing.
The people behind them are very uncomfortable.
That's what it's all about.
Social tension.
It's the new incredible humor.
What a fun brand new concept.
Certainly nobody has ever done that before.
Definitely not Tom Green's shtick from 22 years ago.
I'm gonna do a thing and make you uncomfortable.
It's just like, Eric Andre, is that you?
Oh, wait, no, it's just Tom Green.
The only time I remember finding Tom Green genuinely funny is when he took a painting he made to, I think it was the New York Modern Art Museum, and he hung it up on the wall.
And then just talk to people about it while they were going through.
And an old lady, he was like, what do you think would improve it?
And the lady was like, I think you could use some trees.
So he took out a Sharpie and drew a tree on it right there.
And she just like fucking didn't blink.
She was like, yeah, that's much better.
And maybe she was just super with it.
And she thought that what she had encountered was a performance art piece, because that's technically what it was, kind of.
It was a genuinely funny bit.
Good job, Tom Green.
In your whole career, you got one.
You got one in.
I remember at the height of Tom Green's popularity, I was living the dream as a ticket taker at a merry-go-round.
And I had a guy get on the merry-go-round with a blow-up doll.
And they got into one of the carriages and they rode on the carriage on the merry-go-round with the blow-up doll.
And then after they got off the merry-go-round, and they had a friend filming them, so I knew it was a bit.
I knew it was a weird bit these, like, losers were trying to do to beat Tom Green.
And then they were halfway out of the mall entrance, and the guy threw the blow-up doll on the ground and kicked it and started screaming, I CAN'T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE!
And then mall security, like, ran over to the guy and basically told him to get the fuck out, because he's being a dumb weirdo.
And I'm sure they wanted that action also.
I'm sure they wanted to film that cop.
I'm sure that bit killed on public access when they aired it.
It was super incredible.
We're like Tom Green meets Johnny Knoxville, man!
Okay, gotcha.
Cool.
Anyway, enough reminiscing about horrible people like Tom Green.
Let's get to our wonderful listener mailbag.
Our listeners got questions, we got answers.
It's time for Q and A.
Our bumper's on the mailbag, am I right guys?
Yes, yes, yes it is.
Daddy, would you like some sausage?
Tom Green references.
I love how it sucks the humor out of the room.
It's not even just like... That was how I felt about Tim and Eric's show.
Anyway, enough about that.
I'm about to go into full ramp mode.
Oh, my daddy's gonna morb.
He's morbin'.
So, Reverend Xenofact asks, okay, so let's put the Q&D aside for a while.
Let's talk pie.
What kind of pies truly capture the spirit of QAnon?
Strawberry rhubarb, because... No, you get that delicious pie out of Q's mouth.
Q doesn't deserve delicious pie.
Cow pie!
Get it?
Because it's shit.
It's literal shit.
The problem with this question is that Pi is typically very good, and QAnon is typically very bad.
How dare you make me attach these things together?
It doesn't go.
It'd be like, which sex positions do you think are best in Pi and QAnon?
It's like, no, don't do this, I love it so much.
Yeah, cow pie is the best possible answer, because I got nothing for a good thing that could possibly have happened.
What's the most bitter pie?
How about like a bad key lime pie?
One that doesn't get made properly?
A poorly executed gooseberry pie, where it just needs a ton of sugar, otherwise it's the sourest thing in the goddamn world.
Yeah.
See, these sound like the shitty sort of pies I can get behind.
Or like a bad homemade shepherd's pie.
I had so much bad homemade shepherd's pie growing up that I thought shepherd's pie sucked.
It was like steak.
My mother was just a terrible cook.
I love her, but she couldn't cook.
So she ruined steak and shepherd's pie for me for many, many years.
Now it turns out those things are great when they're done right.
I was thinking, like, I've always, like, is haggis a pie?
Like, I'm just thinking, like, one of those, like, horrible things where it's just, like, you throw all the terrible things together and you make a meal out of it.
That's kind of cute.
No, I think it's its own thing, but I don't know if it's certain.
Yeah, haggis is its own thing, and I think what you just described was casserole.
Aha!
And I don't think casserole counts as a pie, because it has no crust, aside from the burnt edges, which is a different type of crust.
This is a food debate, and I feel like I'm not going to be accused of being on the wrong side of this one.
Fact, casserole is not pie.
Yes.
Yeah, I mean, but shepherd's pie is called shepherd's pie, but is, like by our definition, a casserole.
What do you think about a Hot Pocket?
Would that count as a pie?
I mean, it's like a white person empanada.
It's filling contained in a crust.
Yeah.
I mean, this is all just us redressing as a hot dog a sandwich.
Well, but mostly, but specifically, because a Hot Pocket is, like, if a Hot Pocket counts as a pie, then Hot Pockets can sometimes be good-slash-entertaining, like Q is, because sometimes you get good go-pastas out of it, but also, sometimes it could be scalding hot, which sucks, and sometimes it could be scalding hot and still frozen in the middle, which sucks and feels like it tricked you, and all of that seems like it describes Q pretty well.
Okay, I'm either going to say a literal piece of shit called a cow pie or a Hot Pocket.
Those are your two options for actual QAnon pie.
You know, actually, I think you can get the same effect that I just described in a Hot Pocket from a bad store freezer chicken pot pie.
So to err on the side of making sure I'm still in the pie pocket, let's say bad frozen grocery store pot pie.
Okay.
Fucking nailed that one. Boom.
Yes, we've attacked it at all angles and I believe we have achieved victory, so I'm going to accept it.
Pancake Peasant asks me directly, do you have an opinion on the conspiracy theory that the Kennedys had Marilyn Monroe killed?
Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
Man, the bump in the set and the spike there was so beautiful.
I so much appreciate you.
Oh, Elle, you so get me.
I'm willing to bet you probably already talked about this in the bonus content.
I really haven't because the Marilyn Monroe thing is like a weird like pivot reverse spin on the Kennedy legacy because the Kennedys are these tragic heroes who were fighting the monstrous Deep State and then they got guns down and it's like the whole Camelot thing and then when you get into this whole thing about the Kennedys murdering Marilyn Monroe now like they're the baddies so Like QAnon has never gotten within six miles of like these theories.
I, I mean, I'm sure that if you, if you ever like prodded any of them, they would tell you that like the bad guys killed Maryland, but the actual, uh, I mean, the actual story is just, it seems very plausible that she just committed suicide.
I mean, it seemed that like she was dealing with a ton of shit and that that was something that she had been struggling with her whole life.
And.
Mental health wasn't something we actually really talked about back in those days, because, hey, you're either normal or you're nuts and there's really no middle ground.
So...
Yeah, I would not of all the conspiracy theories around Marilyn Monroe getting, uh, getting iced.
I would put the Kennedy's way down at the bottom of it because like that shit is like some like house of cards stuff where like the president is ordering people to get whacked, which like, uh, spoilers for ancient house of cards shit, which, I mean, I don't know why you'd watch that nowadays, especially with the stink on Kevin Spacey and all, but like, When, like, Kevin Spacey's character is just actually murdering people.
It's like, aren't you the vice president?
Aren't people, like, monitoring you?
Like, how can you kill people and get away with it?
Yeah, there's just no need.
Like, Marilyn Monroe was, like, to be a little crass, circling the drain.
If they wanted her dead, that problem was always gonna take care of itself.
How dare you?
She's a timeless American icon because Andy Warhol painted her that time.
Yeah, I'm not gonna think.
Like, if they did anything to kill her, they maybe, like, made sure she had drugs available.
She took care of that herself.
Yeah, you could just be like, uh, it's just like, I need you to whack this broad.
And then some, like, member of the Secret Service is just like, hey, Marilyn Monroe, would you like this huge bag of free heroin?
You know what I mean?
I almost did it again.
I almost, or whatever, yet again.
Caught myself.
Hold on.
But she's like, yeah, here's a huge bag of free heroin.
That's gratis, courtesy of the United States government, because we think that you're a pretty classy broad.
And she's like, cool.
And she takes that bag and she's like, what am I going to do?
Me with my problems alone in this hotel room with this heroin?
Yeah.
It all was always going to, quotation marks, work itself out.
They just they had no reason to Yeah, like the Epstein thing.
Like, when people are just like, like, you know, oh, Epstein got whacked.
It's just like, well, I don't, I don't think Epstein, like, I don't think anybody went into Epstein's cell and, like, choked him to death.
I do think that they shut down all the cameras and left him alone in his cell with a bed sheet or whatever.
They were just like, yeah, we're gonna go out to smoke some cigarettes, so we'll be gone for, like, 20 or 30 minutes, so, uh, don't do anything with that bed sheet, chief, and then they just left.
Yeah.
It's just like, came back and was just like, who could've seen?
Oh my god!
Yeah, when that all went down, me and El were still living together, and like, with one voice, we looked at it and they're like, oh, they let him suicide himself.
I don't, like, we just immediately both came to the same conclusion.
It was another one of those things, like, this problem's gonna solve itself.
We just have to, you know, not look at the camera for five minutes.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, I think that's really, yeah, I think it's way more likely that that's like, that either he killed himself without like, basically Hillary Clinton snuffed him is like, like 1% option.
And the two actual real things are one, I mean, cause he had attempted to kill himself previously and he was on suicide watch, then he gets removed from suicide watch.
And then like a week later he's dead.
So it's like either, Like, the fact that they took him off suicide watch is such a giant red flag, because why?
Why did you think that he was no longer that way?
Because they couldn't prevent him from doing suicide if they were watching him, you see?
Right, exactly.
That's why they took him off.
It makes perfect sense if you think about it from that angle.
They're just like, oh, we'd really like for him to do this, so if we take him off of the watch...
He can do it.
And then two know-nothing guards are just like, we fell asleep.
And they're like, OK, you're fired, or reassigned, or slap on the wrist.
And that's it.
Right.
Yeah, here's your termination papers and the medal that we promised you.
Anyway.
Yum.
Don't even remember what the initial question was.
Mostly because I believe it was addressed specifically to Mike, and it was about Marilyn Monroe getting whacked by Kennedy.
Nailed it.
Yes.
We got there, boys.
We did it.
We nailed it.
So Cleodora Silvestri, Messing, Your, CSV asks, QAnon keeps wanting real life to behave like a movie with heroes and villains.
So why is no one talking about how Roger Stone looks and dresses exactly like the Batman villain Clock King?
We kind of already did in this episode.
I brought up how he looks like a fucking Villain at all times
Clocking sure is is a very good pull But he looks like some iterations of the penguin on
occasion as well pretty much any super villain that doesn't Need to have you know like a fit body for the aircraft
Yeah, and I've sent you guys the photos that I could clear door has sent us to compare Roger Stone to clock King
So yeah Surprising amount of conservatives look like super villains
generally, but I mean this particular photo is pretty damning Like, who told that person that those glasses were acceptable?
Right, yeah.
Roger loves that shit.
Roger loves to have, like, flair.
And by flair, I mean dressed like an idiot, so... Yeah, I mean, well, so it's really the glasses, you know what I mean?
Like, the rest of the outfit is pretty bog-standard, it's just like a suit and stuff.
You know what's actually shocking to me, is that if there's ever any cause For them to be portrayed in a movie by an actor, it should be John Lithgow.
I can easily picture John Lithgow in this outfit, totally crushing it.
So I guess that means I can totally picture John Lithgow being the Clock King.
Nice.
I'd be fine with, like, yeah.
Dear movie directors, for Batman, stop doing the Joker.
Batman has a massive rogues gallery.
Get some of these B-listers in here.
They would make compelling movie villains.
And just like the Riddler, you could make all of them incredibly boring regular terrorists.
You can just take them and make them super boring and just have your money make a gajillion dollars anyway because Batman is technically in it.
It doesn't matter.
Enjoy your bad villain.
He's really stupid.
It's just so good.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, like that's the thing about pretty much like gritty Batman is just the villain is always a terrorist and that's it's just different like veins of terrorism like Ra's al Ghul and Bane.
Like, wanted to destroy Gotham for its decadence.
Joker was a nihilist.
Riddler is just dumb QAnon.
I mean, it's just... Yeah, it turns out that if you take the theatricality away from a supervillain, it's just a terrorist.
Like, you just have a regular criminal at worst, or at best, and a terrorist at worst.
So it's just like making Batman all uber gritty is just sort of like eroding, like has just been for 20 years now eroding the theatricality away from all the villains.
So they're just like, I'm like, oh, what about this?
What if this Joker was like more realistic?
So it looked like he was covered in chemical burns.
It's like, no, it's not supposed to be realistic.
The chemicals make him look like a dumb clown, like an actual clown.
That's how Poison Ivy got her Like, Soft Redemption.
They didn't write her any differently.
She's still an eco-terrorist, but everyone's like...
Yeah, I guess that's not such a bad thing, wanting to destroy evil corporations that are poisoning us.
Is that bad?
Right.
Poison Ivy's still terrible, but she has a point.
That's it.
Most of the best villains in the MCU are like that, too.
We just saw Thor, Love and Thunder, Sarge and I, independently, not together.
Uh, but we both were just sort of like, yeah, like, Gore was surprisingly good, yeah, good, had good motivations, sort of had a point, and it's like, Killmonger from Black Panther, that was his best hallmark, was just like, they're just like, yeah, Killmonger's a bad dude, he sucks, and we hate him, and it's just like, well...
Yeah, but I mean, he has a point, and he also followed all of the proper channels in order to get where he's at.
So, at the end of the day, your superheroics in this regard are really just deposing a king.
Like a legally entitled ruler of a nation.
You do not like him or his policies, so you are coup-d'etat-ing him.
Because you don't like him.
And it's just like...
You know, ethically, I agree with you, because Killmonger was a piece of shit.
But at the end of the day, that is the reality of the situation.
You want to get gritty and realistic about heroes?
Black Panther is a movie about superheroes being ultimate fascists.
This guy gets himself democratically, or not democratically, but by the laws of the land, elected to the top position.
And it's like, my new policy is we're going to start murdering people that oppress black folk.
And then the Avengers are like, ooh, yeah, we don't like that.
Black Panther, you go clean that up or whatever.
Doing the right thing for bad reasons doesn't make it okay.
Right.
I mean, sometimes it does, right?
Like, you know, again, you can punch a Nazi.
Punching's generally not good, but Nazi is bad enough that punch is okay.
We'll take it on a case-by-case basis.
So, like, I'm not saying that superheroes are inherently stupid.
I'm just saying that, like, yeah, gritty realism and superheroes don't always mix the way you want them to, because if you start pulling those threads, At some point, you get to Baron Zemo's whole point, which is, yo, superheroism and fascism are the same thing.
Like, one of them just has costumes and superpowers, it looks cool, it is, like, ostensibly for the right reason, but you can't separate superheroes and, you know, like, superiority.
Like, they're just, they're together, entwined.
So... Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, like, like... He's also Homelander.
Oh yeah, this is what they should do, is like the next Batman movie, because there will be one, it shouldn't be this genre, I don't want Chemical Burn Joker, I don't want that shit, I want it to be a caper!
Like, get James Spader or someone to be the Penguin, and have him try to rip off a casino or something for like a priceless heirloom, and Batman has to stop the caper!
And it's like a reverse Ocean's 11 where the bad guys are doing all this wacky shit and Batman's trying to thwart them.
Make it fun!
Make it a jape!
I don't need, like, just, I don't need gritty penguin.
I don't need, like, I don't need gritty clay face.
It's like, I don't need any of this.
I just want, I want a fun, dumb movie with supervillains who do dumb shit.
And they're trying to see what a guy would really look like if he was killed by being filled with cosmetic products.
I bet they had no choice but to make that character, Mike.
Right!
Imagine what Two-Face would really look like if half of his face was destroyed in a fiery accident.
Just imagine, like, imagine how gross we could make that look.
Imagine how gross and realistic we could make it look.
And it's just like, it just looks gross for the sake of gross, mate.
I've seen burn victims.
That's not how burns look when they happen.
Like, you made a specific choice, Mr. Little, and you were just like, my version of Two-Face, he looks like a gross idiot.
Like, his face looks gross and stupid.
Right, I just want a movie where the stakes aren't Gotham City's gonna get hit with a nuclear bomb.
I want the stakes to just be the penguin gets rich if he pulls this off.
The king's ruby, the king of like Arabia or whatever, like classic pulp country, something like that would be like, it's going to be, oh no, like the king's emerald has been stolen by Catwoman!
Right!
Exactly, exactly.
God, come on.
Throw me a bone here.
Dial it back a little.
Okay, so thank you for the question.
Daniel asks, if you could ask Trump any three questions under oath, what would you ask and why?
I mean, is it a regular oath, or is it like a magically enforceable oath?
Are we talking about Wonder Woman's lasso?
Like, he has to tell the truth?
Yes, because if it's under regular oath, who gives a shit?
He'll just lie straight to my face with his stupid wet mouth.
He'll just look at me and just lie directly to me anyway.
So I can ask him any three questions and he's just gonna jabber at me stupidly about nothing.
Right.
Yeah, I would probably be something to the effect of, uh, why are you so scared of the pee tape?
When did you know they were going to kill Khashoggi, and what does Putin actually have on you?
That'd drive you mad.
Do you want to fuck your daughter?
Well, the answer to that is yes.
I think he's admitted that, so I don't really know that that's really that big of a zinger to get him on.
Well, it depends.
Are these questions just for us?
Or are they going out to the world?
If they're going out to the world?
Because if they're going out to the world, I think, like, have you ever masturbated thinking about your daughter?
That's a pretty strong opener.
Because if the QAnon people are supposed to be... I mean, they would hate the whole process because they'd be like, well, you're using Moloch's satanic magic to compel the truth out of the man, so what are we gonna do about it?
So it's just like, okay, well, there's no pleasing them.
But they say they're huge staunch defenders of children, so you would think they'd be really grossed out by that prospect.
I mean, yeah, what is the single most damaging thing you can say about yourself?
Because I'm just curious what he thinks it is.
Sometimes I think that I'm too kind.
But we're talking like magically compelled to tell the truth.
I know, but could you imagine if that was his answer?
That would shatter my brain.
He just has so many brain worms he actually thinks he's the greatest person who ever lived.
It'd be so good.
Uh, yeah.
I mean, it's tough to think.
I mean, because, honestly, like, if it was, like, a magic Christmas land where we're compelling him to tell the truth in front of cameras to really try to stick it to him, like, there's a bunch of damning shit I'm sure you could get him to say.
I do absolutely love Sarge's opening salvo.
I mean, God, what a fucking horrible thing to think about, but you can really get somebody like that.
And it would be, like, genuinely refreshing if his answer was, no, that's gross.
Could you imagine?
She's like, have you ever concluded thinking about your daughter?
And he's just like, no, that's gross.
And I just be like, oh my God, Mr. Trump, I'm so sorry.
That's President Trump.
And I'm just like, eh, not really.
Not to me.
I don't buy into that whole calling you president after you're not in office anymore, especially not you.
I mean, I mean, technically you can get a former out of me because it's like technically true, no matter how much I hate it.
Like I do have to acknowledge that, but it's never, it's never going to be without the former mate.
Like let's, let's be real.
I wouldn't even dress Obama as President Obama.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, I mean, I guess if I was like in front of him because I respect him, maybe, but like, you know, amongst friends, it's former President Obama.
Yeah.
Or just Barack, because, you know, we're keeping it cash.
There we go!
And then we're high-fiving each other.
Anyway.
Bro grabs!
Fusion Gritty asks, what amuse-bouche pairs well with the January 6th hearings?
Ooh, see, I love that we're bringing back awareness.
I think it's a cheese board.
To the amuse-bouche.
I like, I like, so mostly just because I think that it's a delightful amuse-bouche for almost any occasion.
Minikish!
Mini quiche!
Dude, put a little mini quiche in your face if you're looking for a European flair in your appetizer segment.
It's quite good.
You're just like, boom!
A little moussey-bouche, a little nice fluffy egg.
So delightful.
Unless you're vegan, I guess.
You could probably have a bad vegan quiche.
Yeah.
I'm gonna stay with my cheese board.
Cheese board with a little meat with it.
Just a personal favorite.
I, just for an appetizer, because I'm a boring American, I would like some, I would just go with the sampler platter I usually get when I go out, which is like some wings and some potato wedges.
Especially with a little bacon sprinkled on them.
I like my just meat and potatoes.
That's me.
Yeah, but I mean, although, isn't the idea that the chef determines what the amuse-bouche is?
I thought that it was just like the first course of like a multiple course thing where the chef is just like, you know, here's the thing you're gonna be eating.
I guess I don't really know exactly what an amuse-bouche is, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask, so...
Well, let's consult the Wikipedia.
I mean, the internet has all the information to it.
I always got the impression that the amuse-bouche was sort of just like a thing that the chef determined what it was.
It was a thing that you got at fancy restaurants.
Right.
It's like when you go to a Hiro of Hiro Dreams of Sushi.
They just give you the course and you just eat it.
Like, you don't have to...
You don't have any say in what you're getting.
He just, like, throws, like, 13 pieces of sushi at you, and you just have to consume them.
You can, like, use, like, sauces... Is that omakase?
Is that the style of sushi that that is?
I don't know.
I'm just revealing my ignorance.
So, ignorance over, literally the second line of this Wikipedia article, amuse-bouches differ from appetizers in that they are not ordered from a menu, but are served for free and according to the chef's selectional love.
Oh, okay.
So, it's...
Fancy appetizers chosen by the chef to match the main course.
Okay.
Yeah.
That was why I wanted to name the segment Amuse Bouche, because I always had that idea in my head.
And it was just like, this is the stuff that we think is amusing that we are offering to you.
God.
Wow, there was way more thought put into that than I thought.
You guys are like an actual genius.
How am I paired along with you scrubs?
Oh god, oh god.
Please go.
Oh, El, obviously the Timberlake of this supergroup.
Oh man, the Beyonce of Hellworld, just getting ready to ditch us and rock it to fame.
Yeah, when I play the Super Bowl halftime show, I will make sure that you, like Kelly Rowland and the other ones, will make an appearance, but I will just have your mics turned down pretty low.
You'll be on stage singing, and sure, you'll be there, but those mics, eh, we're going to mix those slightly lower.
Everyone is hearing Beyonce.
We're getting the band back together.
No, we got the band back together.
So thank you for the question.
Snorlaxcpap asks, with Elon Musk about to lose $1 billion with Twitter and it's time to put it to rest, Elon is obviously not human.
Where does the pod stand on this?
10 squirrels in a skin suit?
Alien?
Second generation T-1000?
Other?
I mean, I, like, so my actual answer is not funny.
Which is the problem.
But my actual answer is that I'm pretty sure he's just an incredibly high functioning person
on the spectrum somewhere.
Like the same thing with Zuckerberg.
They're just sort of weird, sort of socially askew in a way that leads me to believe
that maybe they are somewhere on that spectrum of people just behaving differently
in the form of social norms.
Funny answer, I would like to think Cyborg from the future designed by himself.
That's awesome.
That makes me laugh, because that was kind of one QAnon promoter's gimmick, was that he was Q in the future sending him messages back to himself in the past.
That's... That gimmick is a great gimmick.
Because I can imagine a previous Elon Musk making it to the future being even less socially inept, or apt, Because he's incredibly socially inept.
So you picture this old super genius on his base on the moon or whatever, tinkering with a cyborg, and he's just like, I'm going to send this one back in time, and it's going to be the perfect version of me, and he's just going to be incredibly handsome, he's going to be incredibly good with people, and he's going to pull a lot of women, and he's going to be super rich, and it's going to be great.
And then he sent it back in time, and this is what he thinks the perfect version of himself is.
Wow, that's incredibly depressing.
I think he's some form of sociopath, maybe not quite a psychopath, but he definitely, you don't get to be that rich and that up your own ass without being some sort of path.
I don't know, like, non-joke answer, I don't know these on the spectrum, but he's definitely not a normal human being
and that I don't think he feels feelings.
Yeah, I mean for what it's worth, I only say that because like, as far as I know,
the spectrum is incredibly vast based on our current knowledge of it.
So like, a lot of people are probably somewhere on the spectrum.
But, you know, I'm not saying that I think he's like fully got like Asperger's or anything.
But he's just sort of like, he's off in that weird way.
It's like he's got he's clearly got good ideas that like, like, you know, he's not He's not ignorant by any stretch of the imagination, or unintelligent, but he's just, like, he's just fucking weird in, like, a bunch of ways that you would just be like, how does unlimited wealth and handlers and just constantly being monitored and stuff not get that out of you?
But, like, him and Zuckerberg are somehow immune to all of that, so it's like, I guess.
Yeah, and also he can't take criticism in any way or fashion.
Like when those kids were trapped in that cave and he's like, let's build a tiny submarine.
And that expert was just like, no, that's a terrible idea, Elon.
And then Elon went on a tirade and called that guy a pedophile.
And it's just like, uh, maybe just, yeah.
Why?
Just take the L on this one.
Right.
Take Hal to the bank and give him one million United States dollars.
Right.
Anyway, Mike, what's your take on Elon Musk?
Cyborg?
I don't know why it's my take, but I just heard it from someone somewhere about Donald Trump unzipping himself and 10,000 spiders just pouring out of him.
So whenever I see this question, that's all I ever think of, is just one day someone just grabbing the zipper on the top of their forehead, just pulling it down, and then just an infinite quantity of spiders just pouring out all over the stage.
That's just always my payoff.
That covers up a series of Junji Ito-level questions about how he's impregnated so many women that I don't want to think about.
Anyway, thanks for the question.
What a hell of a way to end the episode, aside from our... What do you call it?
The question enumerous?
Yeah, the question enumerous, yes.
The question enumerous.
Uh, which, uh, this week I'm going to do a little shout out to, uh, Big Bad Bald Bastard, who was a listener of the show, who, uh, I have been informed, uh, recently passed away.
So that's terrible.
So, uh, just wanted to let everyone know, like, send out thoughts and prayers and all that for their family.
Cause, uh, bad news.
Terrible to hear that.
So.
That fucking sucks pretty bad.
So, uh, you know, our condolences go out to, uh, Bob's, uh, you know, family and all that stuff.
It's kind of a bummer.
So, just having thrown that out there, what are you guys looking forward to this week, as it were?
Well, so, on a much lighter note, as this is supposed to be, one of my good friends is in from the East Coast.
He's visiting, so I got to hang out with him yesterday.
Hanging out with him again today.
So, uh, hanging out with one, uh, frosty VO, uh, Freddy.
Yeah, it's good to have, it's good to have nice, positive, like a nice positive note at the end of the episode.
Oh, by the way, uh, why is he in town again?
Uh, his, uh, partner's, uh, grandmother passed away.
It's for a funeral.
I just thought it was funny, like, because knowing what I knew, that he was in town for a funeral, although I did not know whose it was, uh, it's just like, let's get back to a light, like a, like a more positive note, uh, like this episode's supposed to be.
I'm pumped to see my friend!
And I was like... Well, I, other people didn't need to know that.
Like, they're, they're treating it like a vacation, so...
I mean, hey, that's fine.
If they're having a good time, no, no hate on them.
Everybody, everybody has their, their own way of handling things.
And again, like, I have no idea how close, how close Frosty was to this person.
I just thought, knowing what I knew made that a little bit funnier to me.
So I decided to share that nugget with our audience.
Frosty's a great dude.
I love getting to see him.
I only get to see him like once a year.
Yeah.
And what are you looking forward to?
Eventually we'll do Hell World Con, and then everybody can be Frosty.
It'll be great.
Yes.
We call it Hell Con, but then again, the O is a Q. Because that's how you do it.
You can turn a capital O into a Q so easy, which is, of course, one little line.
What am I excited for?
I feel like I use this one pretty frequently, but it's starting to get to be a problem.
I don't know why, but it is apparently Ice Cream Boy Summer.
It's 85 degrees out, and all I want in life right now is ice cream.
I'm usually not a huge fiend for it, but the past couple of months, it's just been all I crave.
It's good for my bones or whatever.
My body demands it.
I'm gonna go get my bones right by going out into the hot, hot heat and getting some cool, cool cream.
What about you, Mike?
Check this out.
I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm just looking forward to, uh, enjoying it, like getting better at my day job.
It was really funny because, uh, in a lot of ways, uh, being a supervisor was something I've had some like training wheels on me for, for a while.
And, um, this past, uh, week, um, I was just left to my own devices for many hours, just running the ship and like The place didn't burn down.
I was able to handle it.
And it just like, it just feels good putting my big boy pants on and just being like, yay.
Like I can handle this stuff.
I know what I'm doing.
And that was refreshing.
And, uh, the other thing would be hopefully getting a resolution to what's happening to my fucking car.
So I haven't bitched about it on the podcast cause I don't want to, but, uh, yeah.
Um, the fact that I've had a car for five years and then it apparently killed itself.
In a fit of rage.
Like so much Jeffrey Epstein has been really annoying, but just hoping that this will get to a resolution and I know where it's going on in the future.
So yeah, that's basically it for me.
Good stuff!
Well, that'll do it for the episode this week.
Thank you, everybody, for listening.
It's time for all of us to crinkle up our noses and do the quick little head-nod thing and genie-like teleport ourselves out of Hellworld for the week.

Where we have over 40 hours of bonus content for supporters $5 and above, including Kabalin, What We Do Out of Shadows, and the currently ongoing but soon-to-be-wrapping Mule's Errand, all of which is the gang watching and dissecting Q-pop media, so to speak, even though it's hard to call it pop media because not a lot of people know about it, and it sucks.
So join us for that if you'd like to.
If you have money and you don't want to give it to us, you can do some good with it by donating it to love146.org.
They're an organization whose vision is the end of child trafficking and exploitation, or you can donate it to any relief efforts for our good friend the Ukraine and their war against Russian aggression, or you can just... any blue candidate in any election, essentially anywhere, that could use your money, go ahead and give it to them so that we can abate and keep back Like a sturdy bulwark, this horrible red tide of fascism that is trying to sweep our country.
What a bummer!
Not a bummer, though, is our Bop of an Opening song, so I'd like to thank DJ Minimal Effort for that.
Thank you so much, buddy.
DJ Minimal Effort, still too cool for social media, so, you know, this shoutout is all we can do for him.
Our buddy Frosty, who we mentioned earlier in the episode, you can find him on Twitter at FrostyVO.
He's a delightful chap who's provided our voice artistry for our bumps and the voice of Q, etc.
You've heard him several times.
He's a good dude.
If you want to check him out on social media, you can find him there.
You can find myself, Sarge, and Mike all on Twitter at HellWorldL.
That's HellWorld with a Q. SargenHell, or PokerPolitics, respectfully.
Respectfully, respectively, and respectfully, because we're worthy of your respect.
Or you can find the show itself on Twitter at Hellworld, H-E-L-L-W-Q-R-L-D.
So, thank you everybody for listening once again.
I've been one of your hosts, Hellworld L, signing off for myself, Hellworld Sarge, and our expert at all things QAnon, Crazy Mr. Mike Rains.
Good speed, Patriots!
Okay, cool.
I will stitch and snipe and make it all work out.
