	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, a.k.a.
	PokerinPolitics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
	This week, I am actually joined by Sarge.
	Hello from the underworld or wherever I was.
	I don't know if you guys established any lore for me.
	We had you at the side of the road with a broken down car.
	I mean, that was a thing that happened, among other things.
	Outstanding.
	And the mysterious El.
	Hello, my beautiful babies!
	Mrs. Doubtfire.
	Hello, hello!
	Yes.
	That wasn't exactly what I was going for, because I didn't know what I was going for, because I was reading something on my phone when it got to my turn.
	The incredibly professional podcast that we run, we're always totally on top of it.
	We have all our bits totally planned out and ready to rock.
	Robin Hood is gone too soon.
	What could be more professional than looking up replacement vape batteries while podcasting?
	Nothing.
	Out of your rig.
	Yeah, for my gear.
	I like how gear just became a term for doing anything, essentially.
	I've heard it referred to for vaping stuff, and obviously for steroid use, and also for heroin use.
	It's great.
	Everything is just gear.
	Can I get your gear, bro?
	For killing titans.
	It's like 3D gear.
	Yeah, 3D mobility gear.
	Hell yeah.
	Finally, a way to move in three dimensions.
	So lucky.
	That's what it's all about.
	Anyway, what the fuck is this podcast about?
	Oh, right, QAnon.
	What a time to be alive.
	Definitely no QAnon news this week.
	Absolutely zero.
	Yeah, I had Frosty go over like seven old drops.
	That's all we're going to cover this week.
	It's going to be great.
	I thought we were going to cover the first episode of House of the Dragon, a show that I totally watched.
	Because I'm an idiot.
	No, if you decided to watch that show, I wouldn't go so far as to say you're an idiot.
	I would just say that you're still trapped in an abusive relationship with the Game of Thrones franchise.
	So when it treats you bad, you still go back to it at some point.
	And, you know, that happens to the best of us.
	Like, you know, for serious stuff and for funny goof stuff, sometimes, like, Pokemon is mine.
	That shit is like my kryptonite.
	Anytime they come out with a new game, I pay them $60 to play it for like 10 hours and go, oh, it's the same thing, and then get bored.
	Hey, I have another $60 loaded into the chamber for this holiday season, baby.
	Oh man, I can't wait for... I found out that allegedly there's a Babylon 5 reboot out there, and then I found out it's gonna be on The CW, and I was like, oh no!
	Oh man, sexy teen Babylon 5!
	It's on The CW!
	Man, what a monkey's paw, Babylon 5 reboot.
	It's on the CW.
	Yeah, but I mean, I have no choice.
	I have to watch it.
	It's gonna be super brutal.
	That was like when they finally came out with the Halo show, but they were like, psych, it's on Paramount+.
	It's just like, oh no.
	It was supposed to be a movie directed by Neil Blomkamp, but instead of that, you're gonna get this Paramount Plus show.
	Shout out to Elvis the Alien.
	He did a little one-hour video on the first season of that, so I got to experience his terribleness without having to watch any of it, and yikes, it seems pretty fucking bad.
	I watched his breakdown of that, too.
	It's just like, oh, holy shit, bud.
	I'd forgotten all about that show until I saw, like, YouTube was like, hey, Elvis the Alien posted this thing about it.
	I was like, oh, right, there's a Halo show.
	Why did I forget about that?
	Yeah, because nobody talked about it, because it fucking sucks.
	Yeah.
	God.
	I can't wait to be the Elvis the Alien doing that version of that thing for the Babylon 5 podcast so you guys can understand what Babylon 5 and the CW was all about.
	We'll have to dig out Babylon 5-5 from Mothballs.
	We'll finally revisit one of our podcasts within a podcast.
	Yeah, damn right.
	One of these days when we do a Patreon fundraiser or whatever, Like a drive.
	We should dangle the tantalizing carrot of an episode of We Have to Talk About We Have to Talk About Kevin.
	Yes!
	Because I've never actually seen that movie, but every time I see the poster it makes me laugh.
	I'm like, what a name for a thing.
	Holy crap.
	Well, we've avoided even the lightest and fluffiest forms of Hellworld currently, but let's dip into the amuse-bouche and see what's going on.
	It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
	Get ready for the amuse-bouche.
	Goddammit, my bouche needs amusing.
	Damn right it does.
	So we have a breaking amuse-bouche.
	Yes, we have breaking hilarious news.
	Which is kind of weird.
	Like, it's just like, hey, the amuse-bouche is for stuff that's not really a headline, but it's like, breaking not a headline.
	Right, exactly.
	Although, I guess depending on the severity of it, it could be a headline.
	Mike surprised both Sarge and I with this right before we started podcasting.
	So, Mike, this time, more earnestly than most, I ask you, what the fuck are you talking about with this headline, MTG Swatted?
	Yes, so everyone's favorite congressperson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, posted on her non-banned social media accounts that she had been swatted, and that more details would be forthcoming about her swatting.
	Now, generally speaking, in the parlance of what swatting is supposed to mean, this means that People falsely claim something terrible is happening at your house, like a hostage situation or something, and cops kick down your door with guns drawn, and potentially the person being swatted can get killed.
	Because, like, swatting is like... It happens here in Kansas.
	Right.
	Swatting is like a super dangerous thing and it's a thing people do in an effort to like hurt or potentially murder other people.
	So I'm gonna go ahead and assume that's not how this went down considering it's not a headline.
	And then a SWAT team did in fact kick down her door and they pointed their rifles at her face.
	So yeah, what happened was, as the cops were arriving in the area, they did a Google search and they found out that this was actually Marjorie Taylor Greene's residence, that odds were that the person calling in the swatting attempt was not on the level.
	And by the time they arrived at her house, it was not kicking down the door, guns blazing, she's in danger for her life.
	It was them just being like, hey, somebody said some shit about you and said something was going on here.
	So yeah, this is probably someone pulling some shit.
	So that's actually how this went down.
	This was not a life and death situation.
	This was not the great terror that MTG is portraying it to be.
	Yeah, I think that it shouldn't have even gotten this far because you shouldn't be able to swat a sitting congressperson no matter how much you don't like said sitting congressperson.
	It just should not have gotten this far.
	It's baffling that they were even in the car ready to go do a swatting.
	Like, that's bizarre.
	Sarge, are you going on the record as being anti-swatting?
	Yes.
	Bold statement.
	What a hero!
	Yeah.
	Look at him!
	The tray of a hero's return.
	Don't swat people you don't like.
	How can Sarge say something so bold?
	Yeah.
	How about we just don't swat people that we don't like?
	Just across the board.
	Top to bottom.
	Swatting bad.
	And so again, the cops figured it out on their way over to her house.
	It was all sorted out.
	Guns were not drawn.
	Marjorie Taylor was not in fear for her life.
	And the person that conducted this swatting was a person with a robot voice.
	They were using a voice distorter.
	And they referenced Kiwi Farms, which is a right-wing harassment site, is basically the easiest way to describe it.
	It started off as a kind of thing where people were trying to like, oh, you know, just being edgelords and shitheads and just general idiots on the internet.
	Kiwi Farms started to keep track of Christian.
	Yeah.
	That I didn't know.
	But now it currently exists to dox people, terrorize people, is generally monstrous.
	There's a big internet drama right now because they're attacking a trans activist.
	There's thought that this swatting attack and the person who unleashed it on MTG referencing Kiwi Farms as being part of their motivations was actually an attempt to get Kiwi Farms in even more trouble than they already are in, which they're the worst.
	They should be de-platformed.
	It's a double fake.
	Yes.
	Yeah, it was.
	Yeah, it was an attempt to be like, yeah, I'm with Kiwi Farms and we're doing bad things.
	We're doing bad things to Marjorie Taylor Greene because we're Kiwi Farms.
	So this might actually be like a false flag against Kiwi Farms in an effort to try to get more shit dumped on them, which they rightfully deserve.
	They don't deserve someone trying a swatting mission to make them look bad, but they're already bad enough.
	They don't need more Ammunition to make themselves look terrible by comparison, so...
	But Jack Posevec posted like, MTG reports details of being swatted by trans activists because he knows who he wants you to hate.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	He he wants he wants you to be mad at those evil trans people trying to get MTG swatted.
	And yeah, I wonder.
	I wonder if that's algorithm manipulation on his part, because there's that like, you know, trans person that is, in fact, being swatted and harassed by Kiwi Farbs.
	And.
	Maybe they're just like, hey, if we work the word trans into our swatting narrative for this, then when people search for trans and swatting and MTG, maybe those will come up.
	And if they just search for trans and swat, maybe this will come up.
	Maybe I'm giving them too much credit for being too savvy with the new tech.
	Oh, like that is something that happens a lot where you'll click on a Twitter trend like the top five Twitter trends will be like very random things that have nothing to do with each other.
	As you scroll through it, you'll get a random K-pop artist like dancing.
	And literally all the captions are just the top five Twitter trends.
	And it was just an effort to get this K-pop person in your feed by the person posting the tweet.
	And they were just like, Biden sells out America!
	Indict Trump!
	And it's a K-pop dancer dancing.
	And you're just like, God damn it.
	You're just gaming the system, you piece of shit.
	Well, I mean, if the system is that easy to game, then that's on the designers of the game.
	Speaking of gaming the system, Dr. Oz, a man trying to do nothing but game the system, and reportedly failing from everything I've seen.
	No way, is he back with more crudité news?
	Is this the Dr. Oz crudité minute?
	I'm bummed I missed out on the weeks where the Queen of Canada was coming out with crudité, and then we had Dr. Oz with crudité.
	Ugh, goddammit.
	What a time to be away.
	Dude, crudité is getting that big push.
	Pretty soon you're going to be seeing K-pop music video drops with hashtag crudité trending on Twitter.
	Yes!
	While I was gone, did you guys talk about the Queen of Canada's basket of sardines?
	No, but we did talk about Dr. Oz's crudité.
	A lot of stuff happened while you were gone, so we didn't talk about the Queen of Canada as much as I would like, and also she's the queen of the world, thank you.
	I think she's dialed that back a little.
	I don't think we even, we didn't even really cover her trying to arrest Canadian law enforcement very much.
	I think we made a joke about it and then moved on because it's just like, It's a huge nothing.
	She's even more nothing than QAnon.
	Because, like, her reach is just, like, a bunch of truly sad old Canadians who don't want to pay their gas bill.
	And she's like, hey, I've got good news for you.
	You don't have to pay your gas bill.
	And they're like, ah, gee, thanks, queen.
	And then suddenly the gas company comes out and they're just like, no, we've been telling you for a long time that you do in fact have to pay this bill and now you don't have any gas.
	And guess what?
	Winter is coming.
	House of the Dragons on HBO Max now.
	Boom.
	Check it.
	The Canadian Army showed up with their secret spaceship above the police station in support of her and her followers.
	Yeah, don't worry guys, it looks like we're getting our asses beaten up in the crowd, but the invisible spaceship that only I can see is here and it's really helping out.
	Oh man, you have no idea.
	So wild.
	It's fighting off the Canadian Air Force that was totally about to drop all kinds of bombs on us, but the spaceship sent it away, which is why we're now only being peaceably arrested by the Canadian Royal Mounted Police.
	Yeah, truly the alien spaceship was the Captain Marvel of the Queen of Canada Odyssey.
	Showed up at the end, did a thing vaguely up in the sky, and then was just sort of like, remember how important I was supposed to be?
	Well, I'm done.
	See you later.
	That's Sarge's Queen of Canada roundup.
	Oh, thank God.
	We needed it.
	The audience craves it.
	It has to be more interesting than whatever Dr. Oz is doing this week.
	Well, Dr. Oz this week has decided that being a laughing stock in a punching bag is no fun.
	So it's time to just become a piece of shit.
	Dr. Oz was like, you know what?
	Everyone's laughing at me about the crudités and the carpet bagging and all that kind of stuff.
	What if I just leaned into being the villain of this Senate campaign?
	So his opponent, John Fetterman, the Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, he had a stroke, basically at some point right before the Democratic primary concluded.
	And Fetterman has recently gotten back on the campaign trail, having recovered from said stroke.
	And Dr. Oz decided to be like, you know what?
	Fuck this guy.
	So Oz came out and was like, hey, maybe if this guy had ever eaten a vegetable in his life, he wouldn't have had a stroke.
	He's like, I prefer my political candidates unstroked.
	Remember that thing Trump said about McCain or whoever it was?
	It was a P.O.W.
	So Oz went at Fetterman for having a stroke and said it was your poor diet that caused you to have a stroke, you giant fat tub of guts, which is super weird because Fetterman is a mountain of a man.
	He's six foot nine.
	Yeah, he's a big dude.
	And Federman, at one point, weighed over 400 pounds.
	He was a very large, tall, and heavy man.
	And then one day, Federman decided to, like, you know, like, fix that shit.
	And he has dropped over 100-odd pounds, and he now weighs in at around 270, which is probably a little heavy for 6'9", but not bad.
	So it's like, literally, Federman has gotten himself in shape, still had a stroke anyways, Yeah, so what Mike is saying is that living healthy will lead to a stroke.
	Right!
	Exactly!
	Just don't even try!
	As much as Sarge hates swatting, Mike Rades hates being healthy and equal about... More so!
	More so!
	Oh my god.
	After this pod, I'm gonna upload myself eating three Baconators and just washing it down with a giant milkshake.
	It's gonna be great.
	I'm gonna show you.
	It's gonna be that mukbang life.
	Yes.
	So yeah, for every pound Federman lost, I'm gonna gain three.
	I will avenge it threefold.
	So yeah, we're gonna go viral on TikTok.
	We're calling it the Hydra Challenge.
	Yeah.
	So that happened.
	And then, uh, after, uh, literally everyone was like, yo, Dr. Oz, uh, claiming that stroke victims fucking deserved it might not be the greatest politics.
	Maybe, maybe you don't have that, like, I don't know, like weird bully charisma that Trump has that lets him pull off this kind of stuff.
	And you just seem like a weird dick saying this.
	Then Oz decided, you know what?
	Fuck all this shit.
	And his campaign manager on Twitter tweeted out, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
	Just to reiterate that, yep, this is our argument.
	I don't condone violence, but I hope Dr. Oz gets pelted with apples.
	To be fair, whenever Intern posted that, I mean, that's a pretty cold comeback.
	I mean, I don't condone it, but if you're going to do a thing like that, that's a pretty good one.
	The thing about Oz that makes Oz funny and fun to dunk on is that he is getting crushed in the polls.
	He is running the worst campaign ever.
	The thing that makes it so ridiculous is that it's a series of unforced errors.
	The guy has high name recognition.
	People get him.
	He's running against a dude who's a politician.
	I don't, I don't think that like people outside of like actually knowing Pennsylvania politics would have known Federman that well.
	So it's like, he very easily could have just ran this like, Hey, I'm just a generic Republican, small government, sensible shit, you know?
	How badly do you think that conservatives wish that they had a 6-foot-7, 270-pound candidate to field?
	Oh my god, just a natural linebacker?
	Just like somebody who, like, I mean, we'll be talking about their former washed-out athlete repertoire here in a second, but...
	But yeah, I mean, because the Chadley alpha male bullshit runs deep in their base, so you would think that they would really love to just have some giant hulking man just out there just being like, Yeah, I think white people are great, and they should be able to have as many guns as they want.
	Vote for me!
	I'm John Whiteman, and I'm enormous!
	and everybody would be like, Oh my God, he's so huge. One last little zinger that I saw in the whole Oz kerfuffle was
	people have been digging through Oz's tweets because Oz is running for Senate on the same account that he'd been peddling
	his snake oil and his Huckster health cures. For For years and years.
	And of course, because again, he's running the best campaign ever, no one was like, you know what?
	We should probably, you know, delete everything you've ever said on Twitter for the past five years so that people can't bring up like coffee enemas or whatever weird shit you were talking about that day on your show.
	Drinking your own piss like that weird yogi guy who's all over TikTok.
	Right, yeah, exactly.
	I love that guy.
	That video where he's talking about how good it is and he's got a little sperm in his yard while he's drinking it?
	Mwah.
	That's peak internet.
	Everybody else can go home.
	Yeah, everyone else is weak compared to that guy.
	That guy is powerful and strong.
	But one of the things that Oz posted was a thing where it's like, for every 50 pounds you lose, you gain an inch in your dick.
	Yeah, so Oz posted that at some point.
	Wait, what was that ratio?
	50 pounds lost equals one extra inch in dick size.
	You guys better hope I never get in shape.
	I'll have like a 16 inch dick.
	I'll have like a 16 inch dick. It'll be incredible.
	It will be able to please no one.
	Too big to be useful.
	Yeah, you should just have a look at it.
	You're like, wow, what the fuck is the point of this?
	And I'm not even that fat.
	I just already have a 12 inch dick.
	But, uh, in response to the, in response to someone digging up that post and the aforementioned over a hundred pounds
	of weight loss from, uh, John Fetterman, Fetterman's wife replied to a shocked face emoji.
	So that was...
	Yeah, well.
	The best possible way to react to fucking Dr. Oz's bizarre dick growth weight loss tweet.
	Dick growth weight loss?
	Yeah.
	That'd be great.
	Like, I could just picture, you know, like all those sketchy porn websites back in the day with, like, you'd be cruising them and they have all those weird ads on the side for, like, dubious pills.
	So just be like, get two extra inches of dick in 14 days with this pill that totally works.
	Uh I would just picture one of those where you're just like you're going to the website to jerk off you've got your dick in their hand it's just like the secret to getting two extra inches you're like please banner ad tell me and they're just like stop being fucking out of shape you loser you're like oh man You're like, I didn't want to get on the treadmill, but I gotta do it for a big pee-pee, so... Ugh, dammit.
	Oh, man.
	She's like, yeah, I'm not really gonna do that.
	Could you offer me, like, a pill or an ointment or something?
	I just wanted some Truck Stop Viagra.
	I didn't want to get in shape.
	I didn't want to actually have a better life.
	I didn't want to actually, like, do anything.
	Yeah, I want the weirdly aggressive weight loss to penis enhancement ads right above those weird ads, or it's just like...
	We dare you to play this game and not come!
	And you're like, what?
	It's a dare?
	Is it that hard?
	I should check this out, I guess.
	Who's clicking on those ads?
	I love the idea of that, where you're just like, oh yeah, this game won't make me cum, I'll show you!
	And then you're like 70 hours into the game and you're like, those dumb game designers, I haven't cum once!
	Ha ha!
	Who's winning now?
	It's like Skyrim.
	You're just like 70 hours and for you it's going to be like a 300 hour experience.
	Before you finally get to the end and you're just sort of like underwhelmed because you've done it for so long.
	I guess I'll go fight the Elder Dragon or whatever.
	So like clearly some people are clicking on those ads because they keep making them because it's profitable, but god I can't imagine a world where anyone I know would ever click on one of those.
	And certainly never copped to it.
	So maybe more people are doing it than I would imagine.
	But I don't click an ad on any website ever.
	And certainly not a creepy one with some anime girl getting blasted by some tremendous tree trunk.
	You know what I mean?
	Yes.
	It's not going to happen.
	Anyway, this conversation is taking a dark turn.
	Let's talk about Herschel Walker.
	What a clown.
	Yes!
	What has this clown said this week, Mike?
	What sort of hilarious jokes and japes is Mr. Herschel Walker levied upon us?
	Uh, so, uh, Herschel Walker, uh, declared, uh, when he was talking about like, uh, Biden's, uh, green energy proposals and trying to fix the climate and trying to improve our economy while doing so, uh, the erstwhile, uh, man who hopes to be a Senator said, they continue to try to fool you like they're helping you out, but they are not.
	They're not helping you out because a lot of money it's going to trees, said Herschel Walker.
	And then he continued by saying, don't we have enough trees around here?
	So he's, he's very upset about the number of trees that we have
	and we don't need more trees.
	More trees is unacceptable.
	It's like, first of all, no, we don't have enough trees.
	We need more trees.
	Yeah, it's a big problem.
	Yeah, people, it turns out, have destroyed lots of trees.
	And second of all, like, isn't he running in, like, Georgia or whatever?
	Like, where is he running?
	I can't imagine that where he's running, like, he's not in the middle of Wyoming or something.
	He's just like, look, all we have around here is fucking trees.
	Who cares?
	The butt trees here!
	Yeah, as you trek through the desolate wasteland of Atlanta, which is just nothing but dark forests that blot out the sun with their 70-foot-tall sequoia redwoods everywhere, yes.
	Yeah, again, the thing that's so bizarre about this is that literally every report about this campaign is about Walker having illegitimate children, the fact that he Obviously he suffers from horrifying mental health issues, that he put a gun to one of his ex-wives or girlfriend's heads, that literally every time he talks he says incoherent shit like this.
	Like, uh, everything about him and his campaign is horrifying, but he's close.
	Like Warnock is like on a one to three point lead, depending on what poll you look at.
	Like, like Oz is just getting destroyed.
	Oz is not even, Oz can't even see Fetterman.
	So Fetterman's so far ahead of him on the track running to the finish line.
	But like Walker's like there, like some weird scandal involving the Democrats or something happening.
	And we could actually have Senator Walker, a guy who again, has a tough time putting one foot in
	front of the other, who literally cannot articulate a coherent thought. And the citizens of Georgia
	are like, yeah, but he was a bulldog. He scored a lot of touchdowns. So why not? I mean, it's just,
	it's like, like, Oz is hilarious.
	Oz is just funny.
	Walker is terrifying.
	I mean, honestly, maybe it's not terrifying.
	Maybe it's what we fucking deserve.
	Maybe if that many people can get together and put Herschel Walker into elected office, then we don't deserve good candidates in elected office.
	Well, I mean, that is the dark truth of democracy.
	And to that I say, dear citizens of Georgia, if you are listening to me screaming y'all right now, tell your friends to vote, chip in money on Warnock, do anything you fucking can, because Uh, beyond the fact that we just need to hold the Senate and expand our majority for all kinds of various and sundry reasons, uh, Senator Walker is like, literally, he will be an embarrassment for your state for the six years he holds that seat.
	He is a, he's not fit to hold office.
	He has mental health issues.
	He.
	He probably had all kinds of personality disorders that were untreated long before he started getting into football and MMA.
	And then he got hit in the head repeatedly, which cannot make that better.
	It can only make it worse.
	So, yes.
	Please do not elect Mr. We-Have-Enough-Trees.
	Don't elect that guy.
	Or don't!
	Or don't do anything.
	Just sit around and let Georgia turn into a flaming crater.
	Who cares?
	You can't smell nihilism without L. Honestly, you're close enough to Florida that it's hard for me to care one way or the other.
	If it seemed like you were willing to save yourselves, maybe.
	But it's too close.
	It's too close that it's making me lose hope.
	Oh, I remember.
	So also, Walker had agreed to debate Warnock, and now he's trying to back out of the debate because, of course he is, because again, the whole... Because he can't put two sentences together.
	You're going to debate an actual politician.
	That'd be so good.
	And the explanation for why he doesn't want to do the debate now is because, quote, nobody would watch it because the Sunday night football will be on, and the debate is scheduled for a Thursday.
	Yeah, somebody should just be like, oh wow, sorry Mr. Walker, we assumed that you were more popular than that.
	And just be like, I'm popular!
	I'm so popular!
	I'm incredibly popular!
	I'll debate him right now!
	Get out of here!
	Bring it on!
	Oh wait, he showed up!
	No!
	Someone in his campaign is like, we absolutely cannot let him get on the same stage.
	Camera turns 45 degrees and like the fucking titan's rod is there with like the ramp and the pyro goes off, Hershel Walker, like camera cuts to him, he's all sweaty in the rig.
	Where did his ring come from?
	Hershel Walker runs out of the ring, escapes the arena, is running, runs into a tree, bounces off of it.
	I TOLD YOU WE HAD TOO MANY TREES!
	GODDAMMIT TREE!
	Just everything about it.
	Just, yeah, please, please, Georgia, you gave us two Democratic senators, which is why Elle has a laptop that we were able to run the podcast off of.
	We got Sleepy Joe thanks to that thing.
	So, yeah, please stay on the right path here, Georgia.
	You can do it.
	I believe in you, even if Elle doesn't.
	So we're going to good cop, bad cop you.
	It's great.
	Yeah, depending on who you're listening to, you're either furious that I've talked shit about you and you're gonna be like, I'll show him, or Mike's hopeful optimism has charged your batteries and you'll show him.
	Whoever gets showed, just vote blue and somehow manage to avoid letting Hershel Walker be an elected official in your state.
	Which, for the record, is my home state.
	Like, technically the state where I was born, even if I didn't live there that long.
	So, hey, Georgia, you're making me look bad.
	You're making me look bad, and you have a city called Cumming.
	And yeah, it's spelled the way you think.
	Let's wrap it up here, Georgia.
	Let's go ahead and start, because once the earthquake sinks Florida into the ocean, you are geographically the next Florida.
	So you need to start laying the tracks now to get yourself out of that one.
	Yeah.
	So yeah, remember, I'm good cop, El's bad cop, and Sarge is neutral cop.
	So that's how we roll here.
	Everybody loves neutral cop.
	Neutral cop gets all the pussy.
	Yeah!
	Get him, neutral cop!
	Anyway, okay, so we've talked about some idiots, including Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	Always so fun.
	But I guess it's time for us to talk about the kingiest idiot of them all in our news segment.
	Yes, indeed.
	From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News.
	Donald Trump, he's a big stupid idiot.
	We gotta talk about him every week.
	I sure do, buddy.
	I mean, at least stuff is going on with him.
	It's much better than the Alex Jones Weekly Update.
	Alex Jones, still a loser getting dunked on.
	Trump is stealing government secrets and maybe selling nuclear stuff to the Middle East and burying his dead wife on his golf course.
	Fucking insane shit.
	Donald Trump, actual crazy person.
	So Mike, what is happening in Trump land this week?
	If you follow our bonus content, patreon.com slash PokerPolitics, what Elle is basically saying here is that Trump is closer to the Janet O side of QAnon madness, where he's entertaining and totally insane, and not the slickly produced grifter shit side like 2000 Mules, which is what Alex Jones is.
	Because Alex Jones is just like, 9-11 was an inside job, buy my dick pills.
	So, I mean... Oh, also, since you brought it up, and we're in the news segment, which means that it's the least likely time for people to just immediately pull the plug on the podcast and run away before I can tell them a thing, if you listen to this hot foley work I'm gonna do by my microphone...
	I don't know if you can hear me leafing through these pages, but that is me leafing through the physical pages of a copy of The Plot Against the King, which the boys are going to do some sort of bonus content with in the not-too-distant future.
	So if you've been waiting for the next little bit of QAnon media content dunkers, it's going to be The Plot Against the King, written by Kash Patel, by Laura Vincent.
	Two people that I'm sure are just great.
	So, we'll go ahead and look forward to that in the near future.
	But back to the actual king who was being plotted against.
	Donald Trump!
	So, the first thing that we learned was John Solomon, who is a right-wing grifter and one of the biggest pieces of shit out there.
	And not the world's greatest pulp action star, despite his name being John Solomon.
	I can picture that guy on the picture of a dime novel punching a mummy, like, right now.
	Yes.
	Uh, so our boy John Solomon, um, he, he was, he's such a piece of shit.
	Q even loved him.
	Q referenced him by name and drops or by initials and people figured it out.
	You gotta be a real piece of shit.
	Yeah.
	So this guy went on Fox News and all these places and was like, yeah, I got this letter that like proves that Biden was up to his neck and launching the warrant to investigate Trump's.
	This is all political and partisan and totally unacceptable.
	And, um, What actually came out from this, uh, this, this information was the fact that, holy shit, the stuff that they wanted back from Trump was like the ultimate highest level, uh, like levels of, of secret documents.
	The stuff that's like beyond almost like, uh, classified information, like top secret's bad.
	But then they have what's like called the compartmentalized secret information.
	And then they have something even beyond that, which is like an even higher level of classification that Trump was involved in.
	And they were just like, that was why they had to file the warrant.
	And what the letter that Solomon leaked showed Literally, uh, the DOJ was like, yo Biden, what do you think about this shit and executive privilege?
	And Biden was like, I ain't touching it with a 20 foot pole.
	That's up to the National Archives people.
	And the National Archives people were like, we need to get this shit back immediately.
	Like this isn't even a, this is no joke.
	You, you fucking go there and you get this shit right fucking now.
	Joe Biden was like, uh, I don't really know how important it is because I haven't been able to see the documents because Trump took them.
	There's a little case called US v. Nixon where they determined beyond a shadow of a doubt that executive privilege does not extend to a crime.
	If you're committing a crime, Nixa was so fucking corrupt, they just had to be like, alright, new rule, like, executive privilege, we didn't think we had to say this, but apparently we did.
	New rule, executive privilege does not extend to committing crimes.
	And then, you know, fast forward like 30 or 40 years and all of a sudden people are claiming the President of the United States could kill someone in cold blood in the middle of the street and just get away with it because he's the President.
	It's like, ah yes, what an incredible country that would be.
	I feel like when you are just openly committing murders in the street without any repercussions, you've upgraded yourself from President to Dictator, which God, Donald Trump obviously wishes he could do.
	Oh, he wants to be a Dictator so bad.
	Yeah, that's the thing.
	Trump was just like, why am I not allowed to be Dictator?
	Trump was just like, why, why am I not allowed to be dictator?
	This is bullshit.
	I mean, he really thought that the attorney general was like his personal
	fixer, his conciliary who just like takes care of shit for him.
	And when Jeff Sessions was like, I ain't getting in the fucking way of this Russia investigation.
	Mueller can do whatever he wants.
	Trump was like, what the fuck are you doing?
	This is bullshit.
	And that's why you're my guy.
	I mean, he probably felt pretty similarly to the guy he posted up as head of the FBI.
	Once the FBI stormed his fucking house and took back a bunch of documents.
	It's just like, but you were but you were my boy!
	Et tu, Ray?
	I love all the reports of like Trump is just like frantically trying to figure out who the leak was because the the warrant and everything was so specific of like what bag they needed to find and where and then there was the The letter to the French President and the French government said that they think he kept that specifically to give to Putin as like, I don't remember the Russian word, but like... Compromat?
	Compromat, yeah.
	As compromat.
	And it's just like, what?
	Like, how is anyone still on Trump's side at this point?
	He had nuclear secrets, he had Q-level secrets.
	Oh yeah, QAnon's been on that shit about how this isn't to get Trump, this is to find Q's identity and take Q down.
	Which, yeah, fuck you guys.
	Jesus Christ.
	Yeah, I mean, we, like, somebody dived out a queue immediately when he decided to try to hide in Australia.
	He went to the local store and tried to buy whatever crisps they have in Australia, and the person by the counter was just like, holy shit, this is Ron Watkins.
	I'm going to tell the internet that he is in Australia.
	Oh yeah, and the best part about that was Jim Watkins was trying to defend it on a livestream, and he was just like, yeah, Ron's gotten a lot of death threats in America, so it's good for him to be laying low in Australia.
	No one cares about Ron Watkins!
	Jesus, God!
	Yeah, in order for anybody to actually care enough about him to levy such a serious illegal threat against him, he would have to, you know, at some point just be like, you know what?
	Maybe I actually am cute.
	You know what?
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm cute.
	Because other than that, he's got no juice.
	He got his ass paddled in his little bid for political office.
	Maybe he was just running the old blue checkmark grift.
	Maybe he didn't actually care and he just wanted to get verified on Twitter or whatever.
	The way we've all dreamed.
	Oh god, yeah.
	Hey, Twitter, if you're listening to this for some reason, I'm sure I'm not the first person to tell you this, but that policy's fucking nonsensical, dude.
	Really?
	Just anybody?
	Anybody who's doing the political thing, regardless of their poll or anything, they just get the blue checkmark.
	Alright, I mean, I guess.
	I thought Ron got kicked off Twitter with the Q purges.
	Maybe he did, but that's a joke, Sarge!
	It was jokes!
	How dare you pull the no and on me?
	I was confused.
	I thought Rod got a Twitter account back because he ran a political campaign.
	And I was just like... It's okay.
	I secretly love the opportunity for the no and.
	It's one of the greatest runners of the store in the show.
	It's one of the greatest runners to that store that Rod was at in Australia, but also our podcast.
	Anyway, so that can't be all we need to talk about Trump.
	There has to be more Trumpy news.
	Mike?
	What have we got to the Trump news, Mike?
	We didn't know about Trump.
	OK, so the other thing that happened with Trump, besides the fact that he was like dealing with the most the top secret of top secret is shit, was the fact that out of nowhere he decided to launch a lawsuit, which isn't even a lawsuit.
	He basically filed a motion, which at the start at the start of this whole thing, It listed him as the lawyer.
	It listed the claim being made per se, which is the ultimate sign that you're a nut.
	But, uh, in the end, uh, some lawyers actually signed off on this, uh, bucket of shit.
	And he was demanding a special master be involved to like go through all the documents.
	So the feds can't look through it all and figure out what's what, what's going on.
	And he wants, he wants his stuff given back to him.
	Cause it's, those are his documents and not the government's documents.
	And, and he wants everyone to acknowledge that the government's wrong for what they're doing.
	And he's right.
	And he's a good, he's a good, handsome, sweet little boy.
	And.
	I think basically every lawyer, every legal expert on social media who looked at this thing was like, what the fuck is this?
	This is not even a legal filing.
	This is just like some fucking idiot was screaming at his lawyers and they just took down his ranting, dictated it, and showed it to a judge.
	What I was reading and hearing is like, everything looks so bad.
	That no lawyers want to be attached to a treason and espionage-like trial.
	Like, no one will take him on because it's just like, well, I'd rather, you know, not go to prison with this man.
	I mean, any lawyers working with him, it seems very likely that the best corrupt lawyers in the world could probably avoid getting involved in any sticky stuff to see jail time.
	But, presumably, if you're gonna take on a case like that, you'd like to be able to win it.
	So, I'm assuming if he's having trouble finding some legal counsel, the people that are looking at the case are just like, yeah, this one...
	This one, probably pretty tough to actually litigate.
	Like, probably pretty bad.
	Seems difficult.
	Seems difficult and maybe not worth the squeeze.
	So what happened was, uh, two of the lawyers, I believe, you had three, two of them apparently were told, uh, you don't have a law license in Florida, so you actually can't do this.
	And, uh, yeah, and then, and then...
	They were like, Rudy Giuliani, get the fuck out of here!
	And he was like, you got me!
	And the lawyer and now the judge in question is a Trump appointed judge and a lot of people are of the mindset of, oh, these Trump appointed judges, they'll just do whatever they want.
	The American law has died.
	It's all over.
	And that really isn't the case in the sense that like these Trump judges are just like, thanks for the job, idiot.
	And they're probably going to do dumb shit because they probably have real bad politics.
	But On the whole, they've already got the gig, they don't need Trump, they really don't give a shit about it.
	Is it being a judge a lifetime appointment?
	Yes, exactly.
	Yeah, so it's like getting the job teaching at the university and getting tenure all at once.
	It's just like, hey, thanks for making me untouchable, idiot.
	Okay, like, alright.
	Who's Donald Trump?
	I don't know that guy.
	Never heard of that guy.
	What I do know is that I get to be a judge until I decide to retire.
	Or die.
	Those are the two options.
	I get to just be judge forever thanks to some anonymous benefactor.
	Alright, who loves abortion?
	I know I do.
	Let's get it in there.
	That'd be great.
	Can we get a bunch of judges to play conservative if Trump gets re-elected?
	To just be like, I've never seen a guy with such hardline conservative politics, of course I'm gonna make him a judge.
	And then it's just like, boom, the double cross.
	Oh my god, I was secretly super liberal the whole time and now I'm a judge.
	Yeah, that was actually, that's what actually happened with Judge Souter on the Supreme Court.
	The Democrats found out he was a secret yes to keep Roe going, and so they got him confirmed very quickly, and he was appointed by Pappy Bush.
	And then after Souter was like, guess what?
	Totally okay with abortion!
	Suddenly the Republicans were like, oh shit, we are going to vet the fuck out of everyone we put on SCOTUS from this point forward to make sure they hate women with a furious passion.
	Mike, the story you just told was cool, but too cool for a thing that I believe Democrats are capable of.
	That actually seems too savvy.
	You know what I mean?
	You can say a lot of stuff about it, but savvy is probably not... or crafty.
	I wouldn't go either way with the Democrats.
	Hey, you can look it up.
	It's a thing that happened.
	I mean, it's lost the antiquity, but I've heard the legends, so.
	I mean, we all know that anything that happened before the COVID pandemic no longer counts, because it just fucked up everyone's time.
	That's the rules.
	Yes.
	The pandemic lasted calendar year, like we're going into like year three or whatever, or it was like two and a half years.
	But in terms of what we experienced, it was between five and 20 years, depending on who you ask.
	The COVID time dilation, truly the most magical time to be alive in.
	It's like a big fucking chasm separating everyone's lives into two chunks.
	It's so weird.
	Yeah, I was just talking about it with someone the other day, for COVID time dilation, just being like, I don't know, like, when did that happen?
	Oh, it was three years ago?
	Yeah, because it's just like, you'll just be like, oh, that just happened like a couple of years ago, right?
	And it's just like, well, also add the three years for the COVID.
	And you're just like, oh, so it happened five years ago.
	That doesn't feel good.
	Like when it's like a TV show or something, and you're just like, oh, that's getting another season.
	It's been a couple of years.
	It's like, dude, five years.
	It took a long time.
	You're like, oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	My time!
	My precious time!
	So, uh, so this judge, uh, so the people are worried about the Trump judge.
	They're very mad because the judge literally responded to Trump by saying, what the fuck is this?
	Please fix it.
	And people were like, oh, this shady judge.
	She's just trying to help Trump out by telling him what he needs to do.
	And again, all the legal experts I've seen are just like, no, this is what a judge says when the judge just looks at you and just like, what the fuck are you doing?
	No.
	You, you fix this shit before I can even look at it.
	Cause what you've given me is not a legal motion.
	This is nothing.
	This is a child writing in crayon and handing it to me.
	So, uh, fucking fix your shit.
	And then I will throw this thing out of court because it's a joke.
	Nothing about this is in any way legitimate.
	So, uh, yeah, Trump's having a great one.
	Um, he, uh, yeah, he's just, uh, he's the clowniest clown that ever clowned a clown.
	Yeah, I mean, boy howdy.
	Like, what an insane timeline we've generated for ourselves.
	I mean, who would defend him?
	Someone that, like, sort of weird pillow salesman or something?
	Oh, absolutely a pillow salesman.
	Guys, here's the most fresh and original thought I've ever had.
	But, like, a little while ago, it's hard to remember because of COVID, so let's just say a couple of years, this independent movie came out called Idiocracy.
	And, like, if you watch it now, man, your mind's totally blown.
	The eugenics movie?
	I don't recall that.
	I know that Terry Crews has muscles in it.
	It's really funny because he's bad president.
	Because he's bad president, and Americans are real dumb, and that movie hilarious.
	There are people out there that actually say that shit.
	It's like there hasn't been a new legitimate Matrix in a while to freak people's beans that they suddenly pulled idiocracy out of mothballs and were just like, oh boy, politics got real dumb!
	And it's just like, I mean, I guess, but...
	Like, who cares?
	Just fight against it, idiot.
	Stop watching idiocracy and laughing.
	Go vote.
	Yeah, so as Sarge was saying, our boy Mike Lindell, who was very sad about the fact that, hey, those True the Vote people did a thing and they got all the attention and now I want my attention back.
	I'm the vote fraud guy.
	God darn it.
	So Mike Lindell had a new Cyber Symposium, which- Mike Lindell's new Cyber Symposium.
	Yes, Mike Lindell's Cyber Symposium 2.0.
	This time the packet captures are capturing you!
	And, uh, he... What is it, Yakov Smirnov's Cyber Symposium?
	Yes!
	Oh, yeah, oh, God in Communist Russia.
	Yes, I was so glad when Mike made that little nod that I could seize upon it.
	I was like, oh yeah, Yakov Smirnov, we're bringing it back!
	The guy in Branson?
	That's where he posted up after being, like, one of the most famous comedians in the world for, like, two years.
	Because everybody was just hot to trot about, like, hey, isn't Russia stupid and we hate it?
	And now, boy howdy, if you just look at times now, and boy they sure have changed, and idiocracy, et cetera.
	Anyway, sorry.
	Idiocracy, et cetera.
	Yeah, so Lindell had his Cyber Symposium 2.0, and this time, the packet captures didn't happen nearly as much.
	It was mostly just putting up screen grabs of stuff and screaming, look, this is connected to Wi-Fi!
	When things were not connected to Wi-Fi, and then ranting and raving.
	And he had a, there was, I don't, I didn't actually watch this unbelievable paint drying experience, but there was a seven hour block on day two devoted to what was called the Trial of the Machines, where Mike Lindell was... I've heard about this.
	Mike Lindell was going to put the voting machines on trial for their crimes.
	The machines themselves.
	The machines themselves are going to face justice at the hands of Mike Lindell.
	I bet the jury would have looked real funny in that room.
	You're supposed to be a jury of your peers, get it?
	It's like other appliances.
	The sketch writes itself.
	Quick, somebody call Kids in the Hall or whatever.
	You're just digging them out of their graves.
	Kids in the Hall just came back.
	They came out with like a new season.
	Oh, yeah, I know.
	Also, kids in the Hall rule.
	They're probably above the appliance bit, but, you know, they're getting that push.
	I want to see them shine.
	Oh, God.
	So.
	Yeah, so Mike Lindell had Rosie the maid from the Jetsons and all kinds of smart refrigerators and shit handling this trial of the machines.
	And the big payoff to all of Mike's ranting and raving was his latest movie, which obviously is trying to riff off of the Two thousand mules that penetrated the zeitgeist and created all this bullshit.
	He's trying to get, because he did Absolute 9-0, Absolute Conviction, Absolute this, that, the other thing, and none of that shit barely tickled.
	So this one is absolute mules.
	If only he was that fucking with it.
	Uh, what he wrote, what he made was called a selection code.
	And what Selection Code is, is basically a quote unquote documentary starring Tina Peters, the lady who is indicted for tampering with voting machines, who ran for Secretary of State in Colorado and lost and then blamed voter fraud, because of course she did.
	And This movie is about how Tina Peters uncovered everything and found the truth about how our elections are being hacked and stolen.
	And what's really funny is I actually saw some reviews that were just like, hey guys, America's burning.
	What we didn't need right now was a love letter for Tina Peters.
	Appreciate you guys doing the work you do.
	Love you, Mike Lindell.
	You're a true patriot.
	Yeah, maybe not this.
	She won't be in a position to do that shit again in theory.
	Christian fuck about Tina Peters.
	Like she did her thing and she got, like I guess kind of punished for her crimes.
	But that was that.
	Like she won't be in a position to do that shit again in theory.
	No.
	Yeah.
	God, it's just all grim specters from the past.
	Right.
	So I don't think selection code is going to go anywhere because it's just a rehash of everything else Lyndell's ever said.
	The mules shit, it worked for what they were looking for because they were pretending we got the data and we're going to give it to you soon.
	And of course they never did.
	And it was a new idea, and they had Dinesh marketing it and promoting it, and they were slick.
	That's the problem for Lindell, is he's not slick.
	Lindell is a sucker.
	That's the thing.
	He just believes anyone who tells him shit about Trump winning or that this is a good thing, he just buys it.
	He doesn't fact check or doesn't do anything.
	Very sad.
	On a scale of 1 to 10, how badly would you like to be at a cash poker game with Mike Lindell?
	Uh, the scale is... it's a 10.
	If we're going 1 to 10, 10's the highest.
	10 all day.
	Just thinking about it makes me feel like I lost 150 pounds if you catch my drift.
	Yes!
	Damn right!
	Oh yeah.
	I mean, the man is, oh yeah, he's just, he's the, uh, we call those, most people call like that kind of a sucker at a table, a fish or a donkey.
	When you got a guy like Mike Lindell at a poker table, you call him the founder of the feast because everyone gets dinner on him.
	Everyone gets all, you get to pay the rent off this idiot.
	This guy is taking care of everybody.
	And that's, that's what he is.
	And that's literally what every grifter in the right wing world sees.
	They're just like, Hey, can you get me in touch with Mike Lindell?
	Because if you can get that guy in a room for five minutes and you can fucking sell him on a pitch, bam!
	The money spigots just open up.
	I was literally about to say money faucet.
	Yeah, I mean, it's just, it's just, it's just ridiculous.
	I mean, it's just insane.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I heard about the trial of the machines and he literally put a voting machine on the stand.
	It's so sad.
	It's just...
	Every time we talk about him, it just makes me sad.
	It's, like, a mentally unwell person with a lot of money.
	I wish to God that somebody could have just, like, snuck a little Bluetooth speaker onto it when no one was looking, and then when Mike Liddell was up there just giving his big pomp and circumstance fake trial or whatever.
	It's just, like...
	And I ask you to, like, did you vote, like, rig the vote or whatever for Biden?
	And they could just be like, I plead the fifth.
	And he's like, oh, what?
	This was supposed to happen?
	No!
	The machine isn't functioning against constitutional rights.
	Suddenly it's a cyberpunk symposium.
	Ah, AI rights are human rights.
	Boom.
	Let's go there.
	Let's get into the meta of what sentience means.
	Yeah, that'd be great.
	It was just like, nobody ever expected right-wing fish Mike Liddell to be the one to kick off the AI consciousness discussion.
	The singularity.
	But yeah, this is the story of how we got enslaved by the machines.
	Mike Lindell accidentally triggers the Matrix.
	That's your idiocracy riff right there.
	There you go, folks.
	We made it for you.
	Some people say that it was us that scorched the sky, or whatever.
	I say it was Mike Lindell.
	Yeah, I think Mike Lindell did it.
	He was like, introducing my scorch, guaranteed to destroy sunlight that the machines used to destroy us.
	My scourge.
	My scourge.
	That's perfect.
	Welcome to the Mitrex.
	Yes!
	A perfect digital utopia where there are no people of color.
	And only two genders, how great.
	Oh my god.
	You've done it.
	Let's put conservatives there.
	Let them live their lives with blissful Mitrex.
	Oh my god.
	Wow.
	If that ends up being the handshake deal, where it's just like, hey, we'll take reality.
	We've got this one.
	If you would like, though, we've built you a fake reality where you can be as big in it as you'd like, because it's not hurting anyone.
	So welcome to the Mitrex, hosted by Mike Lindell.
	It's kind of what happens in that Apple show about an MMO.
	They just trick all the Nazis into going on their own.
	They lock them in their own private server.
	Oh, I mean, that's what some games actually do with cheaters.
	Like, when they catch you cheating, they're just like, oh, okay, we put you in cheat server with all the other cheaters, and you guys can just all cheat at each other to your heart's content.
	The one last bit of news I wanted to actually talk about for the symposium was just the fact that they always like to talk about voting machines because that just makes everything sound scary.
	The vast majority of Americans vote on paper ballots.
	I know that here in Massachusetts, I've always voted on a paper ballot.
	In Nevada, I did vote on a touchscreen that like recorded my vote, but it printed a paper receipt that I could read.
	So there are two kinds of voting machines, a ballot making device, which is what I voted on in Nevada.
	And then there's a tabulator, which is just literally the thing you run the paper ballots through to count them quickly.
	So when these people are screaming about voting machines, like nine times out of ten, they're actually whining about tabulators.
	But tabulators don't fuck shit up, as poor cyber ninjas found out when they grabbed all those ballots and counted them by hand to prove the election was corrupt.
	Poor dead cyber ninjas.
	And then they're like, oh shit, Biden actually got a couple hundred more votes.
	Fuck.
	So like, that's the thing, is that The old days where we actually, I mean, back when W got elected, there were states that had ballot voting machines that didn't have paper trails that were super fucking suspect.
	The amount of those that exist in America now are negligible.
	It's not a real thing.
	But people are mad now about companies that create tabulators.
	Those same people want election results tonight!
	I want them right now!
	And it's like, you're not gonna get election results for like a fucking week if you're gonna make everyone hand count shit.
	Because I promise you, a hand count is brutally fucking slow.
	So it's like, what do you want?
	Do you want fast, or do you want no machines?
	Because you can't have both.
	That's just the way this works.
	Uh, you can if you genetically engineer some mentats.
	Oh, right.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Yeah, you forgot about you forgot about that, Mike.
	You forgot about the mintats.
	I did.
	I did.
	It's easy to do.
	Right.
	Yes.
	Damn right.
	I forgot about the mintats.
	I usually forget about the mintats.
	How?
	How could I?
	And the squidworms.
	And motherfuckers act like they forgot about the mint hats.
	So, yeah.
	Okay, I feel like that's probably as much fun and frivolity as we could squeeze into
	the stupid My Symposium 2.
	Thank you, Mike Liddell, for continuing to provide us with minor amounts of amusement and Republican lunatics with an endless amount of money.
	What a terrible thing.
	Speaking of which, it wasn't actually part of our news list, but did you guys hear about that $1.6 billion donation to conservative ventures from Dark Money?
	Wild.
	I mean, granted, I know that money at that scale is moving around behind the scenes all the time, but $1.6 billion in one month's time, that's a tremendous amount of weight.
	That's a spicy meatball, yeah.
	Yeah, it's not great.
	One could say that it's probably pretty fucking bad.
	But let's get on to what actually is our final headline for the week, and that is Loomer victorious!
	Yes!
	Laura Loomer has declared victory in her race for the House of Representatives.
	Spoiler alert, she lost.
	She can claim whatever she likes.
	The facts are that she lost, but in the Mitrex, she won, and that's what really counts.
	So basically what happened two years ago was Laura Loomer decided that she was going to run basically one of these publicity campaigns.
	I don't know if she lived in a solidly blue district or not, but she ran in a district where the Republicans knew they really had no shot of beating the incumbent Democrat.
	She won the Republican primary, and then she got thumped in the general election because it's a blue district.
	And then Laura thought to herself, you know, running and losing versus the Vanity Project is fun, I guess, but wouldn't it be better if I ran and won and became Congresswoman Loomer and I got to hang out with Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene?
	So Loomer actually went to a conservative red district and ran in a really real primary this time against an incumbent who she attacked for being too old because Loomer is 29.
	I mean, Loomer, all kinds of don't judge people by their looks and
	all that kind of stuff.
	But if you if you looked at photos of her, you'd be like, she's 29, man.
	That is hate ages you.
	That is a rough 29.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	So Loomer ran in this very conservative district, attacked her opponent as an old fogey.
	And she lost by seven points, which is a lot.
	But at the same time, the fact that she got within single digits of a rational, sane Republican in a safe Republican district is kind of worrying.
	Again, the good news is that she lost.
	This is a person who, at her rally while she was waiting for the results to come in, had Nick Fuentes and other just absolute human piles of garbage hanging out with her.
	And I just love the idea of her winning a primary, and the first person you see on stage with her is Nick Fuentes, this Holocaust-denying racist sack of shit.
	And there were a bunch of other people that were equally as bad, but Fuentes just seared into my brain.
	That's why I remember him most.
	But it's just like, yeah, hey, modern Republican Party, this is where you're at right now.
	You have a person who is very close to winning a race, just going to have their victory speech while Holocaust and I are by their side.
	Just hanging out, having a good time.
	And it's a safe red district.
	So if she won this primary, she was probably going to win the general election.
	It was gonna happen.
	So this was a near miss for Team QAnon and these nuts.
	She's appeared on InfoWars, she's done all kinds of dumb attention-getting, right-wing bullshit.
	Caught herself banned from Uber and Lyft for talking about how she didn't want
	Muslims driving her around because she hates them.
	And like, all, yeah, she's basically every kind of terrible person rolled into one.
	And she managed to get a bunch of Republicans to vote for her.
	She made it kind of close.
	So yeah.
	Bully, bully on you, Republican party.
	Doing great.
	Everything's just going fine.
	Everything's turning up millhouse.
	The obvious negatives of people like this are obvious.
	They are apparent.
	But Mike, catch your vision into the future, if you will.
	And tell us, in your opinion, do you think that the Republican Party weirdly propping up these extreme lunatics is going to be a net positive?
	For their party, or a net negative for their party?
	Do you think it's going to stick their boat, or do you think it's going to, at some point, dogecoin to the moon?
	I do think this is a long-term losing proposition for them.
	I really can't imagine mining QAnon for votes is going to pay off in any long-term way, because they're terrifying.
	They're absolute lunatics.
	At some point, people start to learn about what these people believe in, what they espouse, how undemocratic they are.
	And living in the bubble that we live in, or at least that I live in, where everything's polarizing, everything's all this bullshit, everything's political, it's not the real world.
	And at some point, some people are just like, hey, maybe elections are good.
	Maybe every time one of you people loses, you throw a fit and scream that it was rigged.
	Maybe being a bunch of whiny piss babies isn't a good political party.
	Maybe I don't want to be a part of the... If I lose, it's rigged, and I'm an idiot, and oh yeah, by the way, if you're not white, I hate you, and if you're a woman, you don't have bodily autonomy.
	All of that stuff, eventually it adds up, and eventually I think it catches up to you.
	I know that personally, I would be much more afraid of a Republican Party that was rallying around Like, a more classic sort of conservative, like charismatic conservative guy, like sort of more of what somebody in the 50s would envision to just be like a strong American leader man, you know what I mean?
	If they could find one of those, I would be much more afraid of that than Donald Trump, who's just like an actual buffoon.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	If they had a Reagan, we'd be in a ton of trouble right now, but they don't.
	Trump lost the popular vote in both elections.
	He got smashed by Biden.
	It's so funny the way our media operates, where everyone's like, ah, the liberal media, oh, they're in bed with the libs.
	If the Democratic Party was just absolutely wedded to a guy that got smoked in an election and was begging for him to run again, our media would be like, oh my god, the Democratic Party's lost its way.
	Oh, they're so fucked.
	I can't believe they're doing this to themselves.
	Our media is just like, oh, that rascally Trump and his lovely MAGA supporters.
	Oh, ain't they just, ain't they just adorable?
	Ain't they just beautiful, real America?
	Let me pinch their cheeks.
	And it's like, holy shit, really?
	Like, why does everyone think this is cool?
	Why does everyone think Trump's still being a thing?
	Hillary won the popular vote and everyone's like, get the fuck off the stage, Hillary!
	You lost!
	You bum!
	Go knit a sweater, old lady!
	You're a loser!
	Yeah, you only won by like 3 million votes or whatever.
	Boo!
	Boo!
	You didn't even campaign in Wisconsin, you dumb lady!
	Go away!
	Trump loses by 7 million votes, and the media's like, hey, Donald Trump's gonna speak at a rally!
	Let's get some cameras on him!
	Woo, Trump!
	It's just like, really?
	Like, holy shit.
	Why is Trump catnip to you people?
	Are you just excited that he's gonna commit more crimes?
	Like, why?
	Yeah, he's the criminal stew of them all.
	He's literally committed espionage now.
	Like, that's the thing that's so funny about this is like, I honestly think that's like one of the things that like makes him kind of like resilient is that the media is just like, well, this is a different crime than his last crime.
	So does it even really count?
	It's like, yes, they're all crimes.
	He's committing crimes.
	I don't care which one they get him on.
	It's like getting Capone on tax evasion.
	Just put him in jail for something.
	Fuck him.
	So, one last question for the panel before we get into questions from our audience members.
	Because it's fun to speculate, especially on stuff where the needle could move so much, do you guys think that Liz Cheney might have enough of the anti-Trump juice to take advantage of him if he's ever weak enough to actually make a successful bid for the presidency?
	Ugh, it's so hard to say.
	I mean, the, like... I mean, mostly, the only reason I'm bringing it up is because, you know, I've had, like, she was wildly obvious in her concessive speech, but just being like, I may have lost here, but I will run for president.
	It's like, okay, cool.
	I really don't see it because I just think that like not pandering to the whole the election was stolen from us bullshit is just anathema to Republican primary voters.
	I just don't.
	I think that there's an anti-Trump sentiment and I think that, but I think those people would rather Go with, like, Cruz or Rubio or, like, DeSantis.
	Just someone else who's just not Trump, who's willing to say, hey, like, Biden may have not gotten in legally, but he's the president now, but I'm gonna make sure the votes get counted right.
	I'm gonna beat his ass.
	Like, actually just coming out and full-throatedly saying Trump lost the election, we need to get over it.
	Republican primary voters are just like fans at a wrestling show when the bad guy gets the ring and goes, your hometown sucks!
	You get in the ring and you're like, Trump lost fair and square!
	The crowd's like, boo!
	You're the bad person!
	We hate you!
	I mean, it's just something that they'll never tolerate.
	It's just unacceptable to them to even think of it.
	I mean, hopefully for their sakes they just get their asses paddled here this winter and they have to put all their mighty brains together and just be like, maybe, maybe the sinking Trump ship is in fact dragging all of us down with it.
	Nah.
	I think the funniest thing, I mean, it would still be bad, but someone brought this up.
	Imagine if the Republicans had a one-seat majority in the House and lost a bunch of seats in the Senate.
	They would never be able to elect a speaker.
	There's no one that could control.
	It'd be like 218 Republicans, like 217 Democrats.
	There's no single Republican who could control all 218 Republicans to actually vote for them.
	Pelosi might be minority speaker because she would get 217 votes and the Republicans could not unify around one candidate.
	It would be an impossibility because like Half of them would vote for Jim Jordan.
	Half of them would vote for McCarthy.
	There's these splinter factions about them voting for Marjorie Taylor Greene and other people.
	No way, they would all unanimously write in Donald Trump.
	They'd be like, we've put Donald Trump in.
	Get him out of there.
	We love him.
	That's been a conspiracy theory for a while, that Trump is going to be made Speaker of the House by the Republicans when they win the House.
	We've talked about it on the show.
	Right.
	And the problem with that, though, is that in the real world, if that ever happened, A, Trump would not do the job.
	He would literally never be in the House.
	He would just stay in Mar-a-Lago and just do his thing, be the absentee Speaker.
	And the other thing is, is like, for the first couple months, Trump would be like, yeah, impeach Biden and Harris, make me president, it'll be great.
	And then after like three or four months, he'd get bored and he would just like literally start going on tour and being like, you know, if they were to die, Wink!
	I'd be president!
	And then everyone would be like, oh shit, he's really doing it.
	He's just actively calling for their murders.
	And he's like, hey, I'm not saying, I'm just saying, wouldn't you like me to be president?
	And you know how that happens!
	And they'd just be like, oh man, woo.
	Now the meatball, way too spicy.
	So, yeah.
	No deal.
	Pro-Trump all the way, these people.
	No matter what he does.
	Okay, let's get to our mailbag.
	That sounds like a plan.
	Our listeners got questions, we got answers.
	It's time for Q & A!
	So Melody opens up by saying, what quote-unquote proof is The Pit trying to spin now that the mules have lost their traction?
	And what BS of Joven's is the most popular and the best info to debunk it?
	Well, The Pit didn't have any proof.
	Literally, Greg and Catherine are heroes.
	They said they tried to upload their data to the internet about the mules, and it got deleted by the Tricoms, and now it's gone forever, and we're never getting it.
	Guess what?
	All that data they had that was going to 100% prove that the mules were real, lost, gone.
	And then they blamed Kinect.
	All of the future proof will be delivered by way of Magic Hat and Peepstone.
	If you give Greg and Catherine a lot of money, they will let you commune with Moroni, and you'll see the gold plates, and you'll understand how the mules did it.
	And you'll be like, oh great, Moroni, who won the election in 2020?
	He's going to be like, Joe Biden, by a lot.
	And you're going to be like, no!
	The Tricons even got to you, Angel Morodi!
	Yes!
	Yeah.
	So they, they, they threw away all their, uh, they threw away all their proof and they just blamed this random company Kinect, which we talked about a while ago on, on like the last couple of pods.
	And I being citizen journalist, Mike Raines, I actually called Kinect on the phone and they just answered.
	And I was like, Hey, you guys are getting a lot of shit on the internet.
	And they were like, yeah, we were seeing it.
	It sucks, but we're just going to put our heads down and try to ignore it.
	Cause anything we say, we'll just fan the flames.
	And.
	The one thing they did tell me was that True the Vote has been after them since 2020, telling them that Freedom of Information Acts have been filed against what work they were doing with various city and state governments and the federal government and stuff like that.
	So True the Vote has had their Connect conspiracy as an ace in the hole for the last two years.
	They've been waiting to spring.
	So this isn't fucking got them.
	Yeah, they've been like, it was the perfect opportunity.
	Yeah, exactly.
	The pit was where they did their bait and switch.
	We're like, Hey, fuck those mules.
	Look at this company over here.
	Boom.
	Yeah.
	So that's all that.
	And as for Joven Pulitzer, uh, that guy is not even seen as credible by other, uh, fucking, uh, vote fraudster con men and grifters.
	Like if you just like, look him up, you'll see other people being like, yeah, I don't even trust him.
	Like his methods are bullshit even to me.
	And I'm a con artist.
	Even me, a con artist, doesn't trust this guy.
	So yeah, I would not, uh, don't trying to directly engage upon the stuff that he does is a waste of time.
	Cause, uh, no one believes him.
	He's except for people that want to, I mean, it's literally, he's a snake.
	He's a faith healer.
	Like if you want to believe that you're cured, you're cured.
	And then when you're not cured a week later, you figure it out.
	But yeah.
	So just, uh, to a driven Pulitzer, I would just say, fuck that guy.
	He's a sack of shit.
	Pancake Peasant asks a more broad question, and that is, what is the household chore you hate the most?
	Oh, um, probably, I really don't like doing the dishes.
	I'm just a very basic person.
	I really don't like doing the dishes.
	Do you find yourself eating out of, like, the containers that stuff comes in a lot to avoid having to do more dishes?
	Because I do as well.
	That has happened, yes.
	Like Chinese food?
	It's just like, you know, I could put this white rice into a bowl like an adult and then put stuff on it, or I could just scoop a little divot out of the center of this white rice in the container and then scoop the stuff into the container with it.
	In fact, after we're done recording it, I ordered my lunch.
	I might be engaging in just such a maneuver.
	Personally, I don't like doing laundry just because it's a lot of stairs.
	Washing machine's all the way out of the basement, so it's just like every time I have to go down to do any part of the process, it's like three full flights of stairs down and up.
	Some of which are basement stairs, which are like, don't feel the safest.
	So yeah, that's always just a little annoying.
	So I try to do Smaller batches of laundry so that, like, they only have to go through one wash cycle, one dry cycle, and then I can bring them all up and I try to keep it to one bag that I could grip with a single hand so I can use my other hand to stabilize my part.
	Like, it's just like, oh, this is the part of the basement stairs where I have to bend fully 90 degrees at the waist because I am too tall because this building was built, like, 150 years ago or whatever.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I would say that making my bed is probably the thing I'm the laziest about.
	I'm just sort of like, oh, yeah, I'm just like, oh, the slip fell off.
	I'll just sleep directly on the mattress tonight.
	I don't care.
	I'm just absolutely just a total... I could never do straight on mattress anymore.
	That way, that would drag me up a wall.
	I'll let it be askew for a night, but if it ever got to the point where my body was directly on top of mattress, I would lose my noodle.
	I'm glad that we got a broad diversity of opinions on that one.
	And finally, because this week's Mailbag was feeble and puny, so up your game, listeners.
	We demand more stuff to riff off of from you.
	Yeah, Twitter at Hellworld with a Q instead of an O. Damn right.
	Think about it.
	The Nerdy Horror Fan asks, the so-called Queen of Canada and her minions are becoming more unhinged.
	How long before she is arrested and how dangerous is she?
	So Sarge, you've taken a shine to her.
	So what's your thoughts?
	It's so hard.
	She's not, like... So if you do any digging into her, you find out she's being run by this other lady who is her, like, handler and knows that, like, Queen Deweedo or Dildo is the source of the grift.
	I just, I don't think she's going to, um...
	I don't think she's gonna go to jail anytime soon because she's very careful to not be there when shit goes down.
	When all of her followers started getting arrested by the Canadian Mounted Police, she made sure she was gone.
	They also call that the Trump Maneuver.
	They also call that the Trump maneuver.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	I, I don't, I do wonder when eventually like her egging people on, uh, we'll
	get her in trouble to the point where she's actually runs a foul of the law.
	And, uh, when does her fucking around leading to her find out, but, uh,
	For the moment, I do think that, like, what I think is most likely the danger is that one of her followers, like, assaults, like, a gas company person who's, like, shutting off their gas or turning off their power.
	That, like, some of the shit she's telling her idiot followers to do leads to them doing something bad, doing something that leads to them then lashing out violently.
	When the consequences of that thing befall them and then they're like, hey, well, she told me to do this.
	And then the conspiracy flows back to her and then she ends up being on the hook for the crimes the person committed.
	So that's the way I think that she actually gets in trouble.
	You know, honestly, I'm going to come in and I'm going to Price is Right this and take the true under and vote $1.
	I don't think anything ever really comes of it because I don't think her followers strike me as the type of people to actually get to the fucking around part.
	I mean aside from like doing stuff for themselves, like depriving themselves of gas and electricity because the Queen said they didn't have to pay their bill, like...
	I just, I mean maybe I'm just not that in touch with it, but from the stuff that I've followed on Twitter, which is more than you would expect based on the amount I follow QAnon on Twitter, I don't know, they just seem like, they're certainly kind of off their rocker a bit, but they don't really seem violent enough for it to spiral.
	I guess there's always the chance that one of them happens to be like a genuine psychotic and it's just like...
	No, I'm gonna go crazy, but, like, that could be anyone regardless of their political opinion, right?
	Yeah.
	Like, a very progressive American liberal could also have a mental health issue where they're just like, you know what would solve all these problems?
	Eh, if I just started wasting a bunch of people at this mall right now.
	It's like, okay, well, you had a mental break.
	She's also really started dialing back all the, I said you don't have to get arrested, and I said you don't have to pay your bills.
	She's really started dialing back on all that because that is something that could lead to actual consequences.
	Yeah, and also it probably looks really bad for the rest of her followers as all the pictures of her Followers, like, appealing to her, like, you know, go viral, where it's just like, ah, another letter beseeching the Queen of Canada to, like, step in to stop this, like, my husband and I are in our 50s, and we think that you're great, but now we don't have gas, and Canadian winter is approaching, and we're gonna freeze to actual death, so please do something, Queen.
	It's like, okay, well, uh, she probably doesn't want anything to do with that, so...
	We'll see.
	I would hate to be wrong about this one, but I am confident enough in my under that I'll take that action.
	Fair enough.
	So that brings us to the question of numerous, which is, what are you looking forward to?
	I'm just looking forward to not traveling anymore for a little while, because that's been a big part of my life.
	Some I wanted to do, some I didn't.
	And then, like, actual something I'm excited about is there's a new Watchmo game coming out, a new Atlus game called Soulhackers 2, and it's a big dumb Dumb dumb JRPG with all my favorite characters and whatever, so I'm kind of excited about that.
	Comes out on Friday.
	Good shit.
	I, speaking of video games, I got a big, well, a big, I got a bonus at work for crushing it.
	And I'm going to be, you know, doing responsible shit with about half of it.
	But the other half, I, so rarely do I buy anything fun for myself.
	So I was like trying to think of something fun to purchase for myself.
	I've narrowed it down to two options, one of which is an Xbox Series S, so that I can start enjoying some of these games.
	Sarge was a bro and hit me to some PlayStation 5s that were on sale, but I don't know if I want to sink $600 into a thing that, like, literally the only game I want to play on it is God of War 2, and I never played God of War 1.
	I know at some point a new Spider-Man game will come out for it and I'll want to play that too, but aside from that, like, I just don't really give a fuck about Sony's first party lineup.
	Like, a Dark Souls remaster doesn't do anything for me.
	I've never given a shit about The Last of Us because I could just watch it on YouTube and get the best parts of it.
	And also, having done that for The Last of Us 2, eh, The Last of Us 2 is kind of bad.
	So, um...
	Yeah, so I don't know.
	I'm still on the fence.
	The other one is a nice cosplay outfit that fits my being tall and fat, which would be to say a Wilson Fisk cosplay, but that would require a lot more effort and more money.
	We'll see.
	I'm excited to find out what fun shit I settle on spending my disposable income on.
	Unfortunately, the stock I wanted to, if this was like two months ago when the stock that I wanted to invest in was still trending under 10, I would have snapped off all of it into stocks.
	But unfortunately, that thing has bounced back, predictably the way I imagined it would be.
	It is now already trading at over 18 again.
	So I was just like, well, I kind of missed the boat on that one.
	I, like, randomly looked at it one day and I was just like, trading under 10?
	Like, this is wild.
	This thing will be double this price in, like, less than three months.
	And I was right, so.
	I feel like a real dummy for not diving more in on that one.
	We're gonna have to have L's Stock Tips as a segment of the show from now on.
	No, we will not, because that can get you in trouble.
	So, that's why I'm literally not even saying which one it was.
	Especially because, like, all of my stock stuff is real small bullshit.
	I mean, that's why I'm talking about stocks that are trading for under 10.
	But yeah, I'm not a financial advisor, and I just really go with my gut on it.
	But the last time I went with my gut on it, it was AMC stock, and I made a pretty penny on that one.
	I was just like, this is like a dunker.
	So anyway, what are you excited about, Mike?
	I'm excited about the terrible Q documentary that Vice is releasing to no advertisement or fanfare that starts tonight.
	Wow.
	I think even they know what a sack of shit this is going to be.
	So yeah.
	I'm sharpening my claws for tonight's terrible QAnon-based documentary.
	Do we know anyone that consulted?
	Well, certainly not Mike Rades, and that's why he's already going into it and just being like, this is a terrible documentary, it doesn't even have any expert testimony for me, Mike Rades.
	Oh yeah, yeah, that's it.
	I'm in business for myself.
	He's in business for the sour grapes.
	Oh God, I'm so bitter.
	Oh, how dare you bring Mike Rothschild to Congress, 1-6 committee.
	You pieces of shit!
	That should have been me!
	Oh God, yeah, all of that.
	I mean, for the sake of the podcast, it should have been you.
	Oh, whatever.
	Your writing campaign to get you in front of Congress at some point, so maybe we could start reaching a larger listener base and start making more money.
	I mean, and helping more people.
	And doing good in the world!
	And making money!
	Yeah.
	And getting big enough to tour.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, but basically this is the same device.
	This is the device documentary series that did the first where who is Q and they started like interviewing like Robert Steele and they like talk to Jim Watkins.
	These are the people that like talk to that.
	God, Dustin Nemos was his name.
	And like at the end of the interview, like Dustin Nemos like said, Hey, do you guys know about pandas?
	And then they put up, like, photos of, like, a panda with their eyes, and they were like, Dustin Nemo said something to us about panda eyes, and we're not going to talk about it.
	You should probably Google it and pill yourselves.
	It was just, like, the most irresponsible, shitty, horrible documentary, and they never figured out who Q was, which is great, and they got into that guy.
	Uh, if you remember from the ancient times when the HBO documentary came out, the guy that CGI'd himself as a giant cicada, that fucking weirdo.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, they got into him.
	So, like, they just, they went down every fucking road possible that was just, like, fucking MacGuffin after MacGuffin.
	And now they're gonna do it again, apparently.
	And they're gonna go down the Michael Flynn-esque path.
	So it's just, oh my god, it's gonna be just... I am gonna hate watch it, and, um...
	It may end up having a segment of its own, or it might be bonus content that I'll do by myself.
	I'll just be, Mike Rains gets angry at this Vice documentary.
	I don't know.
	Am I the only person who thinks that, like, pre-pandemic, I used to sort of like the Vice stuff, like every once in a while the Vice would come up with a thing and I would engage with it.
	And, like, post-pandemic, I think that Vice is just mono-hacks, and I have no fucking interest in what they're doing whatsoever.
	And I don't know what changed, but it was like somebody flipped a switch, and I went from just being like, yeah, Vice is pretty cool, to just being like, yeah, I don't want anything to do with these hipster fucks.
	Like, what's the deal?
	Why does your journalism suddenly seem so bad to me?
	But I'm not the only person, like, it seems like the bloom is sort of generally off the vice rows in my circles.
	I don't know if you guys can hear that.
	Oh shit.
	I mean, suddenly QTeam6 is going to bust through your windows.
	What's a better version of swatting?
	Q team six is gonna bust through your windows and yeah, like that. Yeah, it's gonna be
	What's what's a better version of swatting? What's the next level up?
	Plotting you're just gonna get you're just gonna get you're gonna get straight up United States military
	Great. What's the plan for the day?
	He's going to get black bagged.
	He's going to get the black bag put over his head.
	He's going to get taken to Gitmo.
	That's what's going to happen.
	And then for good measure, they're going to smash all your G.I.
	jokes.
	Yes.
	Just to be a bunch of callous dickheads about it.
	Welly's white, so we can't beat him, but let's bring his stuff.
	And for the actual thing I'm looking forward to for an enjoyment purpose, I'm probably going to get Cult of the Lamb, because it's a roguelike that seems fun and interesting.
	Oh, yeah.
	And I do love roguelikes.
	So if you've got a roguelike that looks like it might scratch that itch for me, you're probably getting a few of my dollars.
	So yes, Cult of the Lamb.
	That's what I'll hopefully be engaging in this week.
	Watch some streamers play that.
	If you've got a roguelike, yo, he'll solve it.
	Damn right.
	Yes.
	Alright, well, that's good stuff, so let's get the fuck out of Hellworld for the week.
	Let's jack into the Mitrex, where we can really enjoy our privileges, unlike the real world, where we're under attack!
	Boo!
	Boo!
	Anyway, thank you guys so much for listening and for supporting the show.
	You can continue to support the show for free by giving us a 5-star review wherever you're listening to us, or telling a friend or a colleague, anybody that might be interested in hearing some dicks talk about some shit.
	If you'd like to support us with some money, you can do that as well by visiting our Patreon at patreon.com slash PokerPolitics, where we have all of our bonus content, over 40 hours of the stuff, in fact, including series such as Kabalin, What We Do Out of Shadows, and Mule's Errand.
	Where we go over Q-related media and do a slam-dunk festival on it, as I teased earlier.
	At some point here in the near future, we are going to be doing a little A Plot Against the King action, so come join us for that.
	A $5 and above donation gets access to all of our Back Catalog of Bonus Content, so if you're ever on a road trip or whatever, you can dive right in and listen to us talk yang about dumb stuff for a mad long time.

	We love you.
	Oh, wow.
	Eerie unison.
	Yeah.

	Synchronicity.
	Get out of my brain.
	It's a glitch of the Mitrex.
	Anyway, if you've got money and you don't want to give it to us, but you'd like to do some good with it, there's a bunch of ways to do that.
	We suggest, as an example, love146.org, an organization whose vision is the end of child trafficking and exploitation.
	That's in their own words.
	But of course, you could always do a bunch of other good with it, however you'd like.
	You can donate it to any charity helping out the Ukraine in defense of their land against Russian invasion.
	You can support any blue candidate, especially in the places where it matters more, like in Georgia, as we mentioned.
	Take your money, do what you want with it, including giving it to us, doing good with it.
	But you know what?
	Just treat yourself.
	Buy yourself something nice.

	You can find the show on Twitter, at Hellworld, with a Q instead of an O. You can find me on Twitter, at HellworldL, with Hellworld spelled the same way.
	Sarge is at Sarge and Hell, and Mike Rains is of course at Poker Politics, and that's going to do it for another successful episode of the Adventures of Hell World podcast.
	As always, I have been one of your hosts, The Mysterious L, joined by the recently excavated from his grave Sarge, and our expert at all things QAnon crazy, Mr. Mike Rains.
