	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.
	Poker and Politics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
	I am joined, as always, by Sarge.
	I had to find the button.
	That's me.
	I had the button to be quiet and then stuff started making noise and I desperately like shuffled around to find the button.
	We're professional podcasters.
	We've been doing this for over 100 episodes.
	Well, you've like 83 of them, maybe.
	Yeah.
	Anyways.
	And the mysterious L. Hello, my beautiful babies.
	And also, ha ha.
	Sarge can't find the button, if you don't say.
	If you catch my drift, no funny voice today, just me saying hello and also...
	Hello followed by, ah, got him.
	Got him!
	I swear the, the, whoever, whatever NSA agent monitors me, like sees the record button get hit.
	And then like, that's when all my texts and phone calls get forwarded.
	Like let him go through now.
	I managed to get like six words into the day before I slurred something.
	So we're, we're doing, we're doing great.
	I shouldn't have done all of that alcohol drinking before the show.
	We all know I like to do it soused.
	Yeah, Al routinely shows up to record Zooted.
	She is.
	Just completely full-on pickle Rick.
	It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
	Okay, well I guess in theory we should start actually talking about QAnon related shit.
	So let's start with the funniest slash lightest and fluffiest shit of them all.
	The Amuse Bouche!
	It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
	Get ready for the Amuse Bouche.
	Much like the Proud Boys, we're gonna take it from the top.
	Everybody take it from the top.
	Dance around in circles with our homemade shields and take it from the top.
	Oh God, yeah.
	So the viral clip that's been going around and not in a good way for the Proud Boys is like an aggressive looking LARP session where a bunch of clowns that were supposedly Proud Boys were wandering around in a field with I would love to know what they thought they were training for.
	The video is hilarious.
	position and show themselves as being like expert shield wielders.
	Cause that is something that really matters in modern life.
	Yeah.
	They were doing tactical drills in case Greece from 3000 years ago attacks.
	Yeah.
	I'm I would love to know what they thought they were training for.
	The video is hilarious.
	I cackled out loud when whatever.
	Proud boy Sergeant just goes, let's take it from the top.
	Let's slowly move in our shuffle circle again.
	Shields out.
	Let's take it from the top.
	Because I'm sure a terrifying amount of them are veterans, so they've all been through basic training, but... I mean, I'll just say what we're all thinking.
	Are they training for a fight that happens after they drop a special bomb that makes guns not work anymore?
	Yeah.
	I don't know, like, are those shields they're practicing with made out of vibranium?
	Because otherwise I've got some bad firearm-related news for these fellows.
	Like, those drills certainly do not seem like they're going to protect you from a firearm.
	Yeah, our president said as much recently as well.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	Was it one of his many quotes during the Dark Brandon Slam Dunk Festival that we somehow managed to avoid writing into any of our headlines?
	Is something we need to talk about?
	I mean, we could talk about it here in the mooseboosh, because it segues nicely.
	Let's start off with our two-course back-to-back Proud Boys ensemble, because on top of this hilarious foolhardy video leaking of them trading for I guess, actual spear combat.
	Their their leader apparently faked an arrest on air of himself
	for for credibility as a prank.
	I haven't heard anything about this.
	Yeah, so I untangled this one for us.
	Yeah. So Gavin McGinnis, he's the not the current leader of the Proud Boys, but he was the founder.
	And he's always been a giant bag of shit.
	And so Gavin McGinnis was doing his like video podcast the way all these right wing grifters do nowadays with the cool screen in the background behind him and all that stuff.
	And then Something happened where he goes off stage.
	He like exits camera view and you can hear him talking to like people.
	And he's just sort of like, are we doing this now?
	Like what's going on?
	Like what's happening?
	And then like, basically he just goes off air.
	He effectively like leaves the camera shot, never comes back.
	Eventually the feed dies.
	And for days, no one, uh, knew what was going on.
	Like people that were looking into it were like, All local law enforcement.
	No one has copped to having arrested Gavin or having Gavin in custody, which is kind of something that happens in America.
	We don't have secret prisons here.
	That's what I, a blue-pilled normie, would think.
	But anyways.
	So all these people were digging into it.
	They're like, what the fuck is going on with him?
	Cause no law enforcement has claimed to arrest him.
	No charges have been publicly filed.
	No one knows exactly why this is happening.
	And Gavin's been like just off the grid for a period of time.
	And then finally, uh, Owen Benjamin, uh, a right-wing shitty comedian who's been on InfoWars has lived that sort of crazy person life.
	Owen Benjamin came out with what was like a screenshot of a text conversation between him and Gavin, where he was like, yo, what's going on?
	What happened?
	And Gavin replied back to him like, prank lol.
	And Owen was like, good one.
	Right.
	Got em!
	Yeah, now they're the ones getting got.
	So, so basically, uh, the two of them exchanged, uh, texts after that.
	And then like, at one point Gavin was like, Hey, don't, don't spill the beans.
	Don't tell anyone I wasn't really arrested.
	And that what I did on my, my, my podcast was actually just a joke to draw attention and like eyeballs on me and try to go viral with me.
	Did Gavin get arrested?
	What is going on?
	And.
	After the message, the text about, don't, don't rat me out, then was followed by, I guess you ratted me out.
	We're done.
	So like, Gavin was just like, I guess you ratted me out.
	We're no longer bros, bro.
	How dare you reveal that my arrest on my podcast was actually faked and just something I was doing for attention from people.
	And then having, I don't exactly know if his minions were like trying to get donations or funds for him.
	But I'm sure Gavin has, like, streams and ways for people to, like, click on the button.
	I saw that he was in the wind.
	I saw something like that.
	I hadn't seen that.
	It's all confirmed fake.
	Yeah, it was super weird because Owen Benjamin, who is, again, just an absolute nut and a total dirtbag, he was doing this thing where he was like, I joined the right wing because I thought we had integrity.
	I thought we were all about being stand-up guys and we didn't pull stunts like what Gavin did.
	It's totally unacceptable.
	And it's just like, like, have you seen what the right wing in America is, buddy?
	I mean, yeah, I don't remember the last time I could definitively say the right wing had integrity.
	I'm not saying the left has integrity, like they're fucking around a lot too, but like, Yeah.
	What?
	Yeah.
	It's just like... Yeah, so our poor boy Owen, he met one of his heroes.
	Like Icarus, he flew too close to the sun, and he found out the terrible truth of Gavin McGinnis, is that he's just a publicity-seeking grifter and conman.
	Oh, I mean, heartbreaking.
	Who could have possibly saw that with our boy Gavin?
	I mean, not me.
	I thought the other guy was totally on the up-and-up the whole way.
	I love how, in his impassioned Instagram appeal, Comedian Guy is just like, you know, I got into this party because I didn't like shills, and I wasn't trying to be somebody who bowed down to the almighty dollar, or whatever.
	It's just like, well, then you joined the wrong team, mate.
	Those people love the dollar.
	Yeah, everything's the dollar.
	I can't believe you so it's most likely a Fundraising grift or just like I mean I this all got lost in the mix of the ongoing Mar-a-Lago nonsense the raid like this definitely happened and I'm sure some people follow him, but it this is Background noise at best.
	I mean, that's what's gotta be so annoying for all these friends.
	Unless he was just like, hey, federal arrests are hot right now, gotta get on that.
	Gotta get on it when it's hot.
	Oh, I'm important enough to be arrested by the feds too!
	Oh no, they're raiding my building as well!
	Oh no!
	Yeah, I mean, that may have been what happened where this guy was just like, oh, man, Trump's sucking all the oxygen out of the room.
	I got to do something.
	I got to do something to get myself some attention.
	So he just like runs around and be like, oh, no, I got fake arrested.
	Help me.
	Help me, please.
	Don't worry, listeners.
	We'll get to the Trump shit in the news because it's a little more serious than this idiot.
	Yeah.
	Oh, my God.
	It sucks for Trump that first we have to talk about dark Brandon.
	Yeah.
	Um, man, uh, our president was on a tear.
	Uh, like I'm going to misquote him, but one of the things he said to all those people, like gathering guns, you're going to need, uh, a little more than that to stop, to fight the United States government.
	We have jets.
	Uh, I'm paraphrasing here, but he, he said that, so.
	I mean, he called the manga people semi-fascist, which was great.
	Yeah.
	He, uh, he, when asked about Marjorie Taylor Greene, he was just like, is that the one that believes in the... eh, whatever.
	It just sort of chucked her off.
	What's her name?
	Yeah, what's her name?
	Couldn't give a fuck about her.
	It's just, like, another great W for the Prez.
	You know, forgiving student loan debts, or at least some of them.
	Oh my god.
	Oh god, progressive... the sound you hear is progressive boners.
	It's just, like, it turns out when you do the things you say you were going to do, your constituents like that.
	I know, like, it sounds like I'm being sarcastic, but someone in his office is like, Mr. President, I've got news for you.
	Every time you dunk on them and, like, Past legislation that helps people.
	Your numbers just skyrocket.
	It just goes up.
	We've never seen anything like it.
	It's unheard of.
	I like how the White House Twitter got into the mix.
	Oh, yeah!
	Yeah, they're throwing elbows.
	That was nice.
	Wow, it turns out that, you know what looks good on Democrats?
	Some teeth.
	Hey, I've been saying it for a while.
	Show us the fucking teeth!
	Get them teeth out, Democrats!
	It looks good on ya!
	Everybody else is just like, the Democrats, they've got their hands on the wheel.
	Let's start driving the car.
	And they are, and their numbers are going up.
	It only took, like, The overthrow of Roe v. Wade and massive protests, I don't know, show some guts, but getting some shit done and you love to see it.
	Yeah.
	But dark branded is incomprehensibly dumb.
	It makes me laugh because it's just such a, it's such taking the piss out of the whole like Trump cult of personality and just how ridiculous they are about photoshopping Trump's head on Rocky's body and all that stuff.
	I mean, just like the fact that we're kidding about Joe Biden and when they're serious about Donald Trump.
	That's what makes it really funny to me, is that we understand what we're doing.
	We get the joke.
	Whereas to them, the God Emperor, that's not a joke.
	He really is infallible.
	He really is.
	To us, Dark Brandon could go back to Sleepy Joe at any moment.
	Yeah, he's got this moment of lucidity right now where he's got the red activated eyes and he's got the power of 20 men and he's crushing it.
	But at any moment he can just power back down and crawl right back into bed and that'll be that.
	We can go back to the exact old ways of thinking about him.
	But I mean, the other thing is, is that like, even now, like, we're just like, glad he's getting shit done.
	We don't actually think he's a Terminator sent back from the future to destroy MAGA and all this nonsense.
	Don't put words in my mouth!
	Yeah.
	You don't know what I believe?
	Fair, fair.
	But, like, I just, um...
	You go on Truth Social and you start looking at the wallpaper and the photos of all these QAnon promoters and like Praying Medic has like this like pencil drawing of one of the meetings where like all these religious leaders are like touching Trump and bowing their heads and praying for him and They all have stuff like that.
	I mean, there's so many people that got the, they got the picture of Jesus over Trump's shoulder.
	And it's just this real thing where he is a messianic figure that is going to save the world.
	Whereas we're just looking at old corn pop and being like, Hey, Biden, keep, keep doing shit we like, and we will vote for you again.
	And then in 2028, we will shuffle you out the door to greener pastures.
	You can go upstate to the farm.
	We don't care about you anymore after that.
	We're not beholden to this guy.
	I mean, Obama had a cult of personality around him, but again, it was nothing like what we have with Trump right now.
	And Biden just doesn't have that, which is what the dark Brandon stuff is just kind of funny.
	And it's like, hey, what if we did that?
	What if we worshiped Biden the way you dumb-dumbs worship Trump?
	He's not a cool president.
	We never thought he was.
	It's the joke.
	doing that leave us alone we want our thing it's our thing he's not a cool president we never thought
	he was it's the joke i mean he's been pretty cool this week he's had a lot of cool sound bites this
	week yes so maybe he just had it to be cool this whole time and he just hadn't been because he was
	maybe it just took him a while to adjust the position and now he's just like hey it's time
	to be cool Do you think the Dark Brandon meme started and he called Barack and he's like, they're memeing me!
	I got the cool president meme!
	He's like, good job, Joe.
	I knew you had it in it.
	Everyone's just like, lean into the skid, dude.
	Yeah.
	It's just like, you know what?
	He's like, trust me.
	I've been there.
	You lean into this one.
	Like if you want it to go away, nothing will stop it faster than you leaning into it.
	Just keep passing.
	Amazing, progressive legislation.
	Yeah.
	I mean, Fetterman was already just like, hey, how about you legalize or how about you?
	Do you?
	What is it like declassify that pot or whatever it's called?
	Oh, reschedule.
	It's like reschedule.
	That's it.
	Yeah.
	The first step on like nationwide decriminalization and then legalization.
	Yeah.
	Just like how about how about pot is great and everyone should just be able to enjoy it.
	Yeah, like having a beer, like, but instead you're like, oh, it's just like, hey, we have to smoke a joint.
	It's just like, it's fine.
	It's fine.
	I've been to Massachusetts.
	I've been to other places where it's legalized cities, Kansas City, where it's decriminalized or like, you know, plus.
	Anyway, places where you can just smoke weed outside.
	It's great.
	So chill.
	It's just so it's just so fun.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We have medicinal here now, and it's It's the legislative equivalent of just be cool.
	Like, just be cool.
	they just like take it and give you a ticket.
	It's the legislative equivalent of just be cool.
	Like, just be cool.
	Don't, just don't do it where we can see you.
	Yeah, so in the places where it's legal, In the places where it is not legal, for legal reasons, can't I advocate doing it?
	It'll give you room for madness, etc.
	But where it's legal, go nuts.
	Truly exciting times where it's legal, I assure you.
	I remember when we got medicinal in Massachusetts, and then we got recreational afterwards, and I was just like, oh man, El, that back pain's gonna be really bothering you.
	Oh my god.
	Gotta be a rough life.
	Yeah, now I don't even need to fake back pain.
	You know what I would like this marijuana for?
	To get high.
	That'd be great.
	Can I get this to get high?
	Ah, sweet.
	All right, thank you.
	I just like pay somebody.
	And they're just like, that would be price plus 20% tax.
	I'm happy to pay it.
	Here you go.
	Oh, man.
	Well, we're cool guys.
	Do we want to talk about cool news?
	Oh, the coolest news, the greatest news, the Q's in the news.
	From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the news.
	Oh boy, so the DOJ... Yeah, I was about to say, never before has pictures of documents been so exciting.
	As someone that had a top secret clearance, seeing this photo made me so fucking nervous.
	If I had those documents and was raided by the FBI, I would be looking at an execution.
	I'm not exaggerating or being sarcastic.
	Like, if this was not the former president, things would be moving a lot faster.
	And federal espionage carries execution, as they can still do that.
	They won't, but Boy, howdy.
	This isn't, like, just lock-em-up shit.
	Some of those document files had the tags for real human intel on them, meaning him having those endangered, like, actively endangered sources and real people.
	And that is fucking big boy espionage.
	Not little e-espionage.
	This is big boy They line you up and shoot you execution espionage.
	Oh God.
	Oh yeah.
	I saw people talking about how they were like, you know, this is the kind of stuff that is like black letter law.
	You can be executed for this because if you give away the names of people in intelligence gathering operations, that's treason.
	That's basically selling out your country.
	Those people are risking their lives to get us information that we deem important to the country's security, and you're just selling them out to other people.
	That is the ultimate no bueno.
	That is completely not allowed.
	And also, I had seen like these posts about how Like in, in, in 2021, the CIA was like releasing memos being like, we're getting a lot of operatives killed recently.
	Something is happening that is not great.
	We don't know if it's, if it's OPSEC on our end or if something has happened, if we've been breached, but a lot of people that are drawing paychecks from us are getting, are getting dropped and we need to get to the bottom of that.
	And.
	I have no doubt in my mind that Trump got security assets killed.
	I'm not blueing on or anything.
	I don't think he's going to be executed, but holy shit, if he doesn't see some jail time for this, it is because everyone is, like, the fix is in.
	I think there will be riots in the street, Sarge.
	Fucking Lindsey Graham, that goddamn water holder.
	Like, what a, what a Renfield.
	I mean, honestly, I don't disagree with him, but I don't think you're supposed to say that.
	Like, I'm sure that those dum-dums would in fact riot in the streets.
	And it would be like, and then somebody would go up to them and just be like, hey man, how is this any different than the Black Lives Matter stuff?
	And they'd be like, shut up!
	Well, we're white.
	That's what's different.
	We're white and our elect and the guy we want to be president got arrested for the crimes he committed.
	All the black people, they're just mad that they're being murdered by cops for no good reason.
	That's not justification for a riot.
	Whereas my guy who didn't do anything for me except get on stage and say, boy, hey guys, am I owning libs for you or what?
	And we were like, yeah, lib owner, lib owner, you did it.
	It's just, it's just so funny.
	Like, it's just so funny the contempt Trump has for his base and his voters, and yet they just will crawl across broken glass for him.
	They will, as Lindsey Graham said, they're going to rise up and do crimes for him.
	I just love that the Law and Order Party The party that's all about like stability in America and making sure that like justice is done and that everyone follows the law.
	They're the ones getting on TV saying, hey, if you even fucking, if you even try to go at Trump, we will break the law immediately, aggressively, violently in an effort to protect him.
	We will attempt to intimidate you into not enforcing the law because we're the law and order party.
	And I mean, notice he didn't say the former president didn't commit a crime, just that if you charge him, people will riot.
	Everybody is being real careful about what they're saying and the espionage they are or are not supporting right now.
	And you love to see it.
	Oh, they had Kristi Noem on Fox & Friends this morning and she went back to the FBI and planted it.
	I mean, they don't even have their story.
	They can't even keep it straight.
	They're just constantly spinning between Trump being like, yeah, these are my documents and I own them and I had a right to have them.
	No, the FBI planted them.
	I don't know what you're talking about.
	Or I declassified them with my mind powers.
	It's just...
	Whatever the defense is it today's defense is not tomorrow's defense, which will not be the next day's defense
	It's just it's Calvin ball. It's just we're gonna change our story every day and you have to keep up with it
	I heard he tried to move it the the case too so he could get a more deferential judge
	Okay, so this would happen there is like he hadn't been He has not been indicted yet.
	Nothing has actually happened.
	And they took it to a Trump-appointed judge that they basically thought was a crank.
	The judge's name is Cannon.
	And they brought it before Judge Cannon.
	They were like, yo, Judge Cannon, give us a ruling.
	And the judge originally said, this thing you sent me is ridiculous.
	What the fuck are you doing?
	But then the judge, I don't know if the Brinks truck backed up or if they got a call from someone speaking Russian, but then the judge was just like, you know, I'm inclined to rule in favor of Trump getting a special master to go over all these documents and make sure that, like, The stuff that like has.
	And the thing about this was so weird was that the judge was acting like this was like lawyer client privilege and stuff like that and not executive privilege.
	Like every legal expert was just looking at what the judge did.
	They were like, what the fuck is this judge doing?
	None of this shit makes any sense.
	Like the judge, either the Trump team misrepresented what they were arguing in front of the judge or the judge is just getting all of this wrong.
	And then when the DOJ dropped the bomb last night, basically the DOJ was like, Oh, that whole special master thing.
	You don't have to worry about that.
	Cause the point of the special master is to go through the documents and then like make sure that like certain stuff doesn't go to the wrong people.
	And we've already done that.
	We've already gone through the documents.
	We've already taken care of all that.
	You, you don't worry.
	You don't need to worry.
	Don't worry, Madam Judge, we're good.
	We're all good in the hood here.
	Yeah.
	And the FBI agents that were investigating it had to get Their clearances bumped up to look at the documents to investigate they weren't cleared They're so secret so dangerous that they couldn't even they're like whoa.
	Hey We need to get read in on all of this so we can like oh Investigate what the fuck we're looking at and they're like, yes, you do right as well as one line in the in the DOJ in the in the in the memo from the DOJ was like the government developed evidence Which means the feds do exactly what Trump had and exactly what he did with it before they before they knocked on the door like they knew because a part of this is that
	At one point, the FBI, months ago, when they walked in, like, hey, can we have a look around and just see what highly classified documents you guys are fucking not giving us back and are not keeping secure?
	At one point, like, one of Trump's lawyers on that little walk was just like, oh yeah, you can't go into those boxes.
	You can't do that.
	You're not allowed to go anywhere near those.
	Yeah, I was like, oh, okay.
	So, um, when we have to come back here in a few months with a warrant, probably going to look into those boxes, probably going to see what the fuck you have in there.
	So yeah.
	So, I mean, this is the thing is that literally this whole thing was just this weird.
	Heard back and forth between Trump and the government about these documents and he had a right to them he thought and like one of the working theories I see about why he was doing this shit is he wanted to declassify all the Russiagate shit and try to make like try to make it look like he was jammed up by the by the feds his entire presidency due to the investigation into his ties to Russia.
	So he was just like, hey, take all the Russia files with me.
	I'm taking them to Mar-a-Lago and eventually I'll find a way to get them out to the public to show everybody that I got, that I got, I got jobbed by the FBI and the intelligence agencies for their witch hunt into Russia.
	And then when the FBI was like, yo, you got those documents, Trump was like, I don't know what you're talking about.
	I have no idea what's going on.
	So.
	It's just it's so amazing that the man can't stop criming.
	I mean, yeah, he should be indicted for the 1-6 shit, the Georgia phone call, his taxes.
	It's just it's what we're getting.
	We're getting all those things are still moving.
	They just have to be so fucking careful.
	It's just taking forever.
	I know there's big depositions going down, I think today in the Georgia.
	In the Georgia investigation, A judge told Lindsey Graham that he gets to be deposed.
	He doesn't get to dip out of this one.
	Both guys, I hate to break it to you, but you're both fucking wrong.
	Donald Trump, he doesn't have to deal with any of this shit.
	Ignore all of that.
	In fact, he should be reinstated as president effective immediately.
	Or, failing that, there should be a new election, a fair election, where the people can decide who their president are again.
	And that election should happen immediately.
	Immediately.
	Permanent election.
	It is 2022!
	2022! What the fuck am I talking about?
	You're talking about Trump's aggressive meltdown on Truth Social, where he fucking just, holy shit, went off the rails.
	So our boy Trump, he was linking to QAnon accounts at one point, and now this is something that's been a bit of confusion.
	What is a tweet on Truth called?
	It's called a truth.
	And when you- Oh, shut up!
	It's a truth.
	And when you retweet someone, it's a retruth.
	Which will never not be funny to so many people.
	Go fuck yourself.
	Yes, it's so dumb.
	It's so powerfully dumb.
	I thought I was making a joke, but go ahead.
	Nope, nope, not a joke.
	Actual reality.
	Reality is dumber than your joke.
	Okay, so Trump truthed out a 60 page screed?
	Yeah, so he basically just kept posting all this dumb shit.
	And at one point, and so at one point he got into the whole thing about, uh,
	the Z the Zuckerberg, Joe Rogan interview where they've been playing this two
	minute clip and everyone's trying to claim that like the, the clip is about
	the FBI, like basically knocked on Zuckerberg's door and it's like, you
	don't, you don't like, you don't talk about the a hundred Biden laptop.
	You just don't do that.
	And if you watch the clip, it's, that's not what happens.
	Zuckerberg literally just said that like close to the election, the FBI was like,
	Oh, in 2016, Russia threw a bunch of shit at the wall to try to get some shit
	out there to try to tip the elections.
	So, uh, be on your toes.
	Be on your toes about, like, disinformation.
	That's literally what Zuckerberg said.
	Zuckerberg does bring up the... Well, no, Rogan brings up the Hunter Biden laptop.
	Right.
	And Zuckerberg responds, so... And yeah, everyone...
	Like all these like Telegram idiots and a Telegram news account that I follow on Twitter was just like, look what they said.
	He's revealed that they're trying to bury the laptop.
	And it's like, no, Rogan brought that up.
	And Zuckerberg said the FBI came to them and was just like, you need to watch the spread of Russian misinformation that is on your site.
	Because they're going to go for it.
	They're going to give it a try.
	They did it in 2016.
	And Zuckerberg, even in that clip, says, look, Twitter wouldn't let anyone talk about the Hunter Biden laptop.
	On Facebook, we did.
	We did do things to try to minimize how much it got into the algorithm, but it was still there.
	And there were people that were yelling at us the whole time.
	The left was like saying, you need to take it off your site entirely.
	And the right was like, you need to amplify it.
	Like Zuckerberg was literally saying, we were trying to Goldilocks the Hunter Biden laptop on our website.
	Like he did, he didn't even say, Oh no.
	Yeah.
	The FBI came in and said, don't talk about the Hunter Biden laptop.
	We were like, aye aye FBI, you got it.
	Algorithm, delete anyone who says Hunter Biden or laptop.
	Bam.
	Done.
	Nailed it.
	Boom.
	Election secured for Biden.
	Victory for the deep state.
	I did it.
	Like, it's so funny, the clip, and again, I'm sure if you actually watched more of the show, there'd be more context, but even the two minutes they showed doesn't say what all these clowns have been saying it says.
	Which, again, has led to so many people being like, they admitted it!
	The election was rigged!
	Bullshit!
	The thing that makes me laugh about all of it is the fact that what is their fucking story about the election?
	Was it a free and fair election and Trump would have won if only America had found out about the Hunter Biden laptop?
	Or did the mules make it impossible for him to win?
	Or it wasn't the mules and it was Dominion?
	Or it wasn't Dominion, it was Kinect?
	Who fucking stole the election?
	Tell me.
	Please, for the love of God, just tell me who stole the election.
	I just want to know.
	Because all your different theories, they don't work together.
	They don't coexist.
	I mean, as it is, Trump's saying the election ran correctly, but hiding the knowledge of his son's laptop and what might have been on it made people vote for not him.
	That's like the narrative I get out of this.
	And it's just so now we need to declare him president and and or run a new election So yeah, everybody was coming to that conclusion like so the the election did run correctly but you think because people the FBI at the time while you were president like buried a story and Yeah, it's yeah, it is very hard to follow where the goalposts are.
	And I don't think anyone on the left is saying don't like if Hunter Biden committed a crime, arrest him, investigate it.
	Yeah, fuck Hunter Biden.
	I don't care about Hunter Biden.
	Jesus.
	He's not president.
	He's not in the White House.
	He's the president's son who's been battling addictions and probably just cashing in on his last name his whole life.
	I have no loyalty to Hunter Biden.
	Would it suck for the president that his son's gonna spend time at a club fed?
	Yeah, but if the guy did a crime, I don't care.
	I love how the criming on the laptop would have to directly implicate Joe Biden for it to matter at all.
	It would have to be like, hey, check out this video of me doing crack with my dad, Joe Biden.
	Yeah, actually, it's Hunter Biden, like, with his crack dealer, and he's like, oh shit, I don't have the money.
	Wait a moment, let me call up my pops.
	Yo, dad, a.k.a.
	Joe Biden, a.k.a.
	the president, I need to buy some crack cocaine.
	Venmo me some money with the memo, giving my son money for crack.
	And then that all happened, and he shows us a screenshot of the Venmo.
	The full Matt Gaetz, as it were.
	It's just, I mean...
	It's just so ridiculous.
	I need it for Nose Emoji.
	Exactly.
	Please send Money Emoji for Nose Emoji.
	And that is sent to POTUS via Venmo.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	It's so baffling.
	At POTUS on Venmo.
	Go ahead.
	Hey, that could be any POTUS.
	It's at POTUS 46.
	So we absolutely know which POTUS it is.
	Yeah, you don't want to accidentally send any money to Jim POTUS from Saskatchewan, just some random guy.
	Right.
	He's like, damn, look at all this money in my Venmo account.
	Man, this last name of mine's paying dividends.
	It's totally weird.
	I don't even know what Hunter Biden was supposedly like.
	I know supposedly his laptop contains evidence of him doing drugs and maybe having Sex with an underage girl.
	I'm very unclear.
	Yeah, the child trafficking is like the QAnon claim.
	That's like the main thing.
	According to them, everyone's done child trafficking.
	I remember like right before the election, they were like screaming and yelling that
	there was all kinds of child porn on Hunter's laptop and he had to go to jail immediately
	and the FBI was hiding it.
	It's just, it's amazing.
	Again, it's like it's two years after the election and we're still going over Hunter's
	laptop.
	This is like the Anthony Weiner laptop that QAnon couldn't let go.
	Laptops are just, they're just like the ultimate story.
	They're the MacGuffin of every modern like political thriller now.
	It's just like, if only we could get to the bottom of the Wiener laptop or the Hunter Biden laptop or anything else.
	I mean, can we go back to tapes?
	Can we go back to the Michelle Obama Whitey tape?
	I mean, come on, let's, let's mix it up a little.
	Let's add a little variety to our dumb political MacGuffins.
	Hoover!
	Bring back Hoover!
	Follow Huma!
	Where is she?
	We're gonna get her!
	Break back, Huma!
	Break back, Huma!
	Yes!
	I was actually looking at the old Q-drops because I got on this whole Illuminati kick and I was trying to connect the Q-drops and how Q started referencing the Illuminati and stuff like that.
	You should use your powerful brain to start trying to crack that cyberpunk mystery that I just found out about last night.
	Sorry.
	There's like a weird statue mystery in Cyberpunk that ties in with the ARG and the Dreamon questline.
	It's just like no one has solved it yet, so CD Projekt Red has to keep reminding people to keep working on it.
	Anything that involves the Dreamon sub-quest is something I very much care about.
	We'll talk about this off-air.
	Yeah, I know!
	That should have been the whole fucking game!
	Fuck you, CD Projekt Red!
	Sorry.
	Okay.
	Yeah, but... And then they... Oh, sorry, go ahead.
	No, no, you.
	It's all you.
	We got off onto Hunter Biden, but also Trump truthed out an actual Q-drop, which I have to assume it was Q-drop 11, right?
	Yeah, so what happened here, I was like about to say something about it.
	And then we just got sidetracked because that's how we operate here at the old ultra professional podcast.
	What happened was, Trump uh retruthed like a photo of like a it was like a meme of him with his hair blowing and like the wind sweeping him and he's at the he's at the the the desk in the Oval Office and like uh and and the meme the meme caption is like the deep state said you can't survive the storm and Trump was like I am the storm.
	And that got them all riled up, because Trump is supposed to... Back when he had a Twitter account, he was supposed to tweet out, my fellow Americans, the storm is upon us, and that was supposed to be... That was basically the seventh seal being broken, or Gabriel's trumpet being blown, and the sign of Ragnarok and all that good stuff.
	But, um, he re-truths that, and if you saw it on mobile, I believe that's all you saw, but if you saw it on desktop, it did this weird thing where it would link you back to the, like, what that person was replying to with the meme, and what they were replying to was QDROP11.
	And so, So basically, a Q-drop got sucked into Trump's timeline because Truth's interface is so shitty and wonky that, like, Trump didn't directly retweet the Q-drop, but he did retruth something that sucked a Q-drop into his timeline, and nobody, like, again, he was on this bender, nobody thought to be like, yo, like, Donnie Two Scoops, the photo of you and the wind and the storm,
	Could you untruth that because it's connected to a Q-drop and that looks a little bad and he's like, nope, nope, nope.
	Everything I've posted in my crazy Twitter, fake Twitter bender.
	Staying on the record.
	Totally proud of every dumb piece of shit thing I've posted on my timeline.
	This, like, rampage that I've committed.
	A rampage so wild and so screwed up that little old me, I got quoted in a Vice article and they didn't even, like, reach out to me for a quote.
	They just grabbed one of my tweets and stuck it in their article.
	And I was like, Jesus Christ.
	Like, holy shit.
	Can you imagine?
	Getting that shine on like HuffPo or like New York Post or Times or whatever where they'll just like embed one of your tweets.
	That's got to be the nut.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Why do I have 10,000 likes on this all of a sudden?
	What the hell happened?
	Oh, front page on a HuffPo article.
	That's pretty sweet.
	Right, yeah, like that was the thing that was like so funny.
	It was like, usually my tweets get like maybe 20 to 30 likes or whatever.
	And I had sent that out and I looked down and I got like, I got like 400 likes on
	it, like what the fuck?
	And it turned out like Ben Collins had retweeted me.
	And the next thing you know, it's an advice article.
	And I'm just like, Oh, okay.
	I guess just bringing up the fact that Donald Trump really believes in all this dumb shit.
	Like he actually believes like when, um, when the Arizona audit was going on and
	Mike Lindell was hosting his first cyber symposium with the fact that captures,
	Like Trump was telling people to like bring him all the updates.
	He wanted all the news on that because he's just so dumb.
	He doesn't understand.
	He doesn't, he obviously doesn't understand QAnon.
	He doesn't get that he's like the head of like this military intelligence operation that's saving the world.
	But he does understand that, like, people are working for him to get him back the presidency, and he thinks they can succeed.
	He thinks that it could actually happen.
	Because, like, the thing that I was quoting was, like, him literally being like, Durham is gonna have to take a hard look at this, because this stuff that's happening is really not fair.
	And it's like, oh my God, Donald Trump actually believes that Durham is gonna fucking do anything.
	Like, what plan are we on?
	Last time we checked in on Durham, wasn't he just, like, racking up L's?
	Yes!
	Didn't he have more L's than the planet Krypton?
	Didn't he have more L's than the planet Krypton?
	Oh, yes.
	Yes.
	Yeah, like he lost the one case he's had.
	He has another case coming up in October, which is, from everything I've read, just as shaky and just as shitty as the case the jury laughed out of court.
	Like, I think the jury deliberated for like four hours, maybe, before acquitting the guy, which is incredibly brief for a jury.
	Yeah, that's pretty short.
	Well, because as someone explained, once you get in the jury room, you have to have an election for the foreman, or whoever's going to be the person reading out the verdict.
	You have to go through that shit.
	Then you have to read over the charges to understand the legal terminology, which takes a while, and then you start discussing it.
	So it probably took them, I don't know, an hour and 90 minutes to handle all of that.
	Then they probably had lunch, and then they acquitted the guy.
	So, I mean, it probably took them, like, two hours and 90 minutes to say, yeah, this case is bullshit.
	Fuck this guy.
	Boom.
	Acquittal.
	Yeah, most of them just wanted to stretch it out so they could get that free Qdoba.
	Yes!
	They're just like, guys, I'm pretty sure that they're gonna get a sledge for the Qdoba down the street, and Qdoba's pretty nice, so let's just hold out.
	Oh, yeah, we're gonna need at least 90 more minutes, looks around.
	Oh, yeah, okay.
	Extra guac?
	Yes!
	Make him pay for the avocado?
	Yeah, alright.
	Anyway, so on top of Trump's troubles on Truth, Truth has its own troubles.
	It's not on Google no more.
	What's going on with the truthiest platform of them all, Truth Social?
	Yeah, Truth Social, the platform that was supposed to be dominating all our social medias.
	On the first side of things, The people that have built the platform for Trump, shockingly, they're now claiming they have not received payment.
	They claim that Trump and his parent companies for Truth Social owe them $1.6 million for the services- But Trump is so rich!
	Surely that's Trump change.
	That's Trump change.
	Surely that's Trump change.
	Yeah, Trump change.
	It should be Trump change for Trump.
	It really should be.
	I mean, that's that's a very small slice of the money the Saudis gave him.
	I mean, what money?
	What are you talking about?
	That was to his son!
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	So they claim that Trump's into them for one point six million dollars.
	And then on top of this, TruthSocial's copyright for the term TruthSocial was not approved.
	That there are other companies in this media sphere that have branded themselves this same way.
	So the trademark department were like, nope, you actually don't get this.
	Now they can appeal the verdict.
	They can do more things.
	Maybe down the line they'll get the rights to the TruthSocial.
	But as for the moment, they don't own the rights to the name Truth Social.
	Nice.
	Everything is just working out incredibly for Team Trump when it comes to their social media platform.
	We should start making bootleg Truth Social merch.
	Yes.
	The thing that's so funny to me is, like, Truth Social's logo is a giant T and it's Truth Social.
	It's like, why don't you just call it Trump Social?
	You've done that for everything else in your life.
	You've branded everything with your dumb last name.
	Why did you decide not to just do Trump Social?
	I mean, all your fans want that.
	They want to be on the Trump, like, fake Twitter platform.
	Yeah, and you still call your tweets truths.
	Yes!
	Right.
	They're so truthy.
	Yeah, you just need to be the most self-aggrandizing ever.
	It's just like, of course whatever people are saying on my social media platform is the truth.
	Damn right it is.
	There's no way it isn't.
	Oh my god.
	They have to have a better claim on Trump social, right?
	In terms of trademark claims.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	There's no way they wouldn't get that if they tried it.
	Unfortunately, they still wouldn't pay whoever was making it for them.
	Maybe the people who have their hand on the wheel noticed that hotels started to remove the Trump branding.
	They're just like, you know, Mr. President, your personality and your platform, everybody loves all of your huge ideas and your giant hands and presumably your massive dong based on that weird photo that your son tweeted out.
	But like your name, not the best right now.
	So maybe not call anything at you dot com or whatever.
	How about not Trump anything for the minute?
	Because hotels, they don't like you the name.
	Most people, they don't like you the name.
	That's what's so funny about QAnon is that, like, they just live in this world where Trump is secretly, like, universally beloved.
	And, like, everyone knows it.
	And only, like... We all know it.
	You know it.
	I know it.
	Right.
	But, like, 20% of America is, like, quote-unquote, the libs.
	And they're just, like, the bad guys.
	They're, like, keeping Trump down.
	I saw an article like six months ago that was about people like getting these like million dollar condos on the cheap because they were in Trump buildings.
	So their their value just plummeted and these people that were just like, I don't give a fuck what the building is cost.
	Like it's called look at look at where I live now.
	Look how awesome I got this $1.2 billion condo for like $600,000.
	Ah, that's the good life.
	That's the way to be.
	Oh my God.
	Yeah.
	It's like, you gotta really be crushing it when your name is causing property values to trap.
	Oh boy.
	Hey, I got my house at a bargain basement price because there was a triple homicide inside of it.
	How did you get at your discount?
	It used to be named after Donald Trump.
	Oh shit!
	You freak!
	How did you live there?
	I think we're going to throw up.
	Yeah.
	You can still see the bloodstain from the murders at the basement at our house, but your thing is just... Wow.
	I can feel it.
	I can feel it in my throat.
	I can feel it in my throat.
	Oh god.
	It's coming up.
	What you did is a bridge too far.
	That'd be great.
	I feel like in the year 2022, does having somebody murdered in your house actually drive the value up these days?
	I mean, true crime has never been more popular.
	I feel like there's a chance that you could probably get more money if your house has a compelling murder story involved.
	Have you not seen the amazing show Murder House Flip?
	Wow, I mean, let me, let's just pull the audience, see if anyone in history has seen that show.
	I bet my girlfriend would love that show, I'm not gonna lie.
	I mean, it was on QB and I think it's on Hulu now.
	But is it still in Quick Byte format?
	I don't know.
	They might have smashed a couple episodes together.
	Is there a button I can click to go from landscape to other mode?
	Just flip back and forth?
	That was part of Queeby's gimmick, right?
	You can look at your phone however you want to to watch this 10 minutes of nothing.
	God.
	It's like, Quibi sounds like one of those things that you're gonna explain to people and because of COVID time dilation they're just gonna be like, that didn't happen.
	Yeah, that's not true.
	That's impossible.
	Because it happened for like six months around the time COVID did, which means it might as well not have happened at all.
	It was just like, any mindshare anything else had was sucked up by Tiger King.
	Absolutely bonkers for those first two months.
	We were like, yeah, COVID ain't so bad.
	We can just go on Netflix and watch documentaries.
	Holy shit, Tiger King.
	Oh my God.
	It's just like, yup.
	Oh, I can't go to work, so I guess I might as well watch this Tiger King that just dropped, said everyone.
	Yeah, that did happen.
	And then they're just like, oh, Tiger King, the sequel is here.
	And it's just like, yeah, I don't give a fuck about that.
	Dude, there's no pandemic happening anymore.
	They lifted most of the restrictions.
	I can go outside again.
	I watch a new Tiger King.
	Yeah, and then they, like, obviously arrested Doc Antle, that guy who's just, like, the crimiest two of them all.
	He also got arrested.
	They could make more Compelling Tiger content when Carol Baskin's husband's remains get found.
	They're at the bottom of the ocean wherever he crashes plane or wherever those mobsters, like, ditched him.
	Or maybe they find him living in one of the tiger preserves as a king of tigers.
	He's just like, he's got like the loincloth going on and everything.
	They find at one point like a makeshift throne, but it's just it's just like a skeleton because he died a while ago.
	But the tigers, they all knew not to disturb the body.
	That was their king.
	He was the real Tiger King.
	Yes.
	All right.
	What's our last stupid headline here?
	I don't even know what this is about.
	I have it written down here as Masters of the Universe of Arizona.
	Yes.
	Which I'm sure is clever if you know that the guy we're talking about, his last name is Masters, you see.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, so we have to check in on our terrible midterm election candidates that the Republican Party is running.
	That means going back to Arizona, of course.
	Yes.
	Yeah, so while Herschel Walker has only talked about his bent bicycle recently, which was confusing and literally every time that man talks, it's bad for his campaign.
	Didn't he post a picture of like a honorary deputy badge or some shit?
	Yes, he literally posted a Cracker Jack badge out of, and he was like, well, while Senator Warnock insults our law enforcement, I was back in the blue my whole life.
	And people were like, Dude, do you also wear the plastic Delta pilot wings when you were a child?
	Cause that's literally what this is.
	This is like a dumb thing you do just to sign a document to be like, I like law enforcement.
	They're the best.
	It's like, Oh my God.
	So yeah.
	Hey man, just because you had a fucking Buck Rogers decoder rig doesn't mean you were part of the squad there chief.
	That was, that was you and everybody else who bought a box of tricks.
	Yup.
	And, uh, again, for those of you listening, especially you people in Georgia who need to get to work on this shit, uh, right now, Warnock's up like one and a half points in this election against a man with an obvious brain injury and a disability.
	So, uh, I know Herschel Walker scored a lot of touchdowns for you guys back in the day.
	Don't make him a fucking Senator, please.
	I beg you.
	So, uh, anyhow, uh, after our Herschel Walker, uh, moment, which is apparently going to be in every podcast until November, um, We move on to the glorious state of Arizona, where our boy Blake Masters, one of the two men that's been bought and paid for by Peter Thiel, the crazy billionaire who literally wants to use young people's blood to achieve immortality.
	If Peter Thiel was a liberal, he would be George Soros, because everything about the man would inflame and enrage QAnon.
	Like, he is literally the, like, vampire that they fear and hate.
	But this guy's bankrolling Republicans and he likes Trump, so he's all good in QAnon land.
	Are you saying that he's not unlike Dr. Michael Morbius?
	He is definitely not unlike Dr. Michael Morbius.
	Have we never been in time before, Buds, to when it was Morbin time?
	We sure did, Bud.
	Yes, so our boy Blake Masters, when he isn't busy scrubbing his abortion platform from his website, where during the primary he was like basically, I think women should be broodmares of the state because that's what God intended.
	And now in the general election, he's just sort of like, look, I'm pro-life, but I'm reasonable about it.
	Just someone that wants to protect the integrity of the little babies.
	That's all.
	I'm not that crazy lunatic like Mark Kelly who wants abortion on demand at all times.
	He's the abortion extremist, not me.
	And it's like, yeah, Blake, the Wayback Machine exists.
	We have screen grabs of your primary campaign's abortion page.
	We know what you're about.
	You're kind of a monster.
	So Blake decided that stepping in that shit wasn't nearly enough.
	He only got one shoe covered in that shit.
	It's time to get the other shoe nice and dirty.
	So, um, This is a headline from the Associated Press, and that headline reads, Leadership at the Federal Reserve has become its most diverse ever.
	There are more female, black, and gay officials contributing to the central bank's interest rate decisions than at any time in its 109-year history.
	So this is just your standard, like, pro-diversity, pro-inclusion, like, everything's, like, America's trying to get better at the more perfect union thing.
	No way.
	Go woke, go broke.
	Yep.
	Go woke, go broke?
	Yep.
	And Blake replied to this with a quote tweet saying, finally, a compelling reason for why our economy is doing so well.
	And he's just like, yeah, fuck your woke Federal Reserve.
	Boom.
	How you like them apples?
	I'm Blake Masters.
	Elect me to the Senate.
	Oh, I'm so good at being a politician.
	I mean, yeah, like, I guess that's, I mean, sick burn question mark?
	Seems like a pretty tame burn to me.
	Wicked tame burn, bro!
	Yes!
	You did it, Blake.
	You're truly the best of us.
	Yeah.
	If you watch the man's videos, he just, he's a creep.
	It's basically the easy way to describe it.
	It's just like, he is an odd dude.
	He's an odd dude.
	Is it like sniffing people's hair?
	Uh, that would be awesome.
	I hope he goes the full Biden and does that and just totally just horrifies his, his actual base by doing things like that.
	That would be super stupendous.
	When Dark Brandon wants to sniff hair, he simply beckons and then hair is presented to him and he sniffs it deeply.
	I'm imagining it being like the guy that was playing show tunes from Cats when Trump was freaking out in the White House.
	They have the Biden soother who brings in long flowing wigs of hair for him to smell in order to try to keep him, like, take the edge off.
	I mean, hey, whatever keeps Dark Brandon strong and awake Yeah.
	So, uh, yeah, I guess that's, uh, that's, you know, once again, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll cast our eyes away from the horrible flaming crater that is Arizona and transition, hopefully, into the greener pastures of our listener, a malebite.
	That does sound like a good plan to me.
	Our listeners got questions.
	We got answers.
	It's time for Q and A.
	I'm going to hit you with my surprise question for the Mysterious L, because I thought about this a couple of weeks ago, and I was just like, I wonder if I'm going to get the same answer from him.
	And that question is, what is the most memorable hand of poker you've ever played?
	Oh, Jesus.
	Well, I'm sure that I know your answer.
	Uh, because you were there for that, that Buckwild hand, where it was, like, I had, like, Pocket Kings and got it in bad against two sets of Pocket Aces and a set of Pocket Queens.
	It was just some insane Omni Pocket Pair related hand.
	I got it in bad, and because I got it in bad, I had more outs than everybody and sucked out and won.
	I remember you flopped quad kings.
	I remember that.
	Two people had pocket aces and you beat them both with quad kings.
	That was crazy.
	But honestly, the best one I had was when I, you know, I got it in and I had like the low end of a straight flush that could also make a royal possible.
	And we were playing, it was like a penny poker game or whatever, but I could just tell.
	I mean, I had the other guy, Denta, he was so excited.
	Even though the stakes were so low, he just got so jittery that he had an actual royal flush in a game of poker he was playing.
	That I folded face up.
	I was just like, I'm folding this straight flush because I know you have the royal.
	And then he turned over his royal.
	That's incredible.
	And what's funny is that what I thought you were going to talk about on that situation was actually The hand I remember the most, because you brought that back to me when you brought that up, was I just remember the hand you had against our local poker pro in our home game when you had the high end straight flush draw and he had the low end straight flush draw and you guys got it all in on the flop and then he was like, oh my god, I'm drawing to a black two.
	What the fuck?
	And it was like...
	I didn't play poker for that long, but I did get into some interesting stuff.
	Even if you just play a few thousand hands of poker, a few of them are going to be memorably good.
	The most fun I had playing during the poker days was probably rail burning you when you took down that online tournament.
	We had friends that were doing much better at poker.
	Just the fact that I was staying up until like 3am all loopy with you while you won this poker tournament that we celebrated by going to Denny's.
	Yes!
	That's what you do when you crush online poker.
	You go to Denny's.
	We're going to Denny's, kids.
	Damn right.
	Damn right.
	So anyways, going into the mailbag proper, Reverend Xenofact asks, imagine this, in the midterms, the Democrats add a couple of Senate seats and hold the House.
	It's clear that the GOP extremism was the issue and the pundits suddenly catch up.
	How does QAnon react and what's the timeframe for denial, violence, acceptance, and grifts?
	I mean, I think, God, if the Republicans were that weakened, if Democrats managed to still hold onto the whole thing and actually gain a little ground, at that point, I feel like whoever is actually pulling the strings at the top level of the GOP has to just be like, okay, Donald Trump is dead to us.
	He's dead to us and QAnon is dead to us.
	All of that stuff, we are shutting it down because otherwise we might die.
	We're not fucking around.
	We put 1.6 billion dollars into this and it still failed.
	Donald Trump is over.
	He is yesterday's news.
	Oh yeah, I absolutely agree.
	The effort to divorce themselves from Trump would be intense.
	I mean, they'd just be like, sort of like, hey!
	I mean, if he isn't indicted by that point, they'd be like, yo, indict him now.
	Like, let's get this ball rolling.
	It's baffling how many still carry water for him.
	Oh yeah, I mean, I'm seeing people online right now, like, laughing at the photos of all the documents.
	They're like, that photo's staged!
	It's like, no, it's, it's not staged.
	It's, it's like, literally, like, the photo that every police department takes when they get, like, a bunch of bags of drugs and some guns.
	They're just, like, showing you what the raid obtained.
	Like, they're not saying the truth.
	It's staged in that they set the evidence out, that they gathered.
	Right.
	To take a better photo.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	No, you were supposed to take a photo of the box.
	Better yet, don't take a photo of the box, take a photo of the room.
	No, better, go outside Mar-a-Lago and take a photo of the building.
	That's what you should have done.
	Like, yeah, fuck guys and children.
	I love that Trump had in that box his, uh, all the time covers that had him on it, even framed, even if they were, like, damning of him.
	Right, oh yeah, he's just such a narcissist that even Bannon... No such thing as bad publicity, baby!
	Damn right!
	You know who would probably really love it if, like, in the long run, if the Democrats got, like, a couple of extra seats in the Senate?
	Liz Cheney.
	Because, I mean, she has set herself up to be... I mean, it's a bold gambit, but she has set herself up to be in a prime position for if The top level of the GOP, finally.
	If word comes down from out high that Trump is dead to them and he is the cancer that they need to excise, she's in prime position.
	She's been like, hey man, I was at the forefront of that movement.
	You guys need another candidate for president, and guess who's here?
	It's Liz Cheney!
	Now everybody bit the D for Liz Cheney.
	Oh, the funniest part about that would be there's so many, like, dirtbag leftists who hate the Democratic Party.
	They'll be like, oh, Liz is going to, like, get all this crossover vote because Democrats love her now.
	And it's like, no, she was just, she was useful.
	But the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy.
	Like, I would still never vote for Liz Cheney.
	Like, don't.
	Yeah, you're out of your mind.
	Also, DeSantis would probably like it, too, because he's already, he's just, he's just like the Arsicola version of Trump.
	Oh God.
	But if suddenly, if suddenly like Coca-Cola and Pepsi got banned, RC Cola's look pretty nice.
	Yep.
	You're not wrong.
	Oh God.
	Oh, DeSantis every day turns on CNN and just like hopes that like, breaking news, Trump had a stroke.
	I mean, he's just, he's just itching for it.
	I mean, cause he knows, he knows that like, this is his chance.
	He's got to run in 2024.
	But you know who would love it most of all?
	Democrats.
	Democrats will love it most of all.
	So if you're a Democrat, guess what?
	All you gotta do is vote, vote blue, and let's make this dream a reality.
	Let's go ahead and further supplicate ourselves to Dark Brandon while he is awoken and doing the Lord's work.
	Let us bow our heads to Dark Brandon.
	doing the Lord's work. Let us let us bow our heads to dark Brandon. Yes. Yeah. But as for
	the the time frame will be immediate on all those things.
	And I do think that like, if the Republicans lose, just if they just get smashed in these elections.
	You're going to get to the point where these idiots that they're winding up are going to take shit to the logical conclusion where, like, if literally no election is fair and we're getting fucked, the only answer is violence.
	And that's the thing about QAnon is that, like, they love claiming, oh, we don't we don't endorse violence.
	We're not terrorists, but sure.
	No, but they but they know what they're doing when they when they tell you, hey, every election is rigged.
	Your vote doesn't count.
	You can't win.
	Only way you can solve this is, you know, the Second Amendment.
	So that's just... Yeah, I mean, at some point we're gonna, like, they're gonna get backed into a corner if Democrats keep, like, gaining ground.
	And then we're gonna see.
	You know, we'll see how serious they are about trying to kick it off.
	My heart tells me that for most of them it's, like, not much.
	I feel like most of them will back down.
	But, you know, every group's got its outliers.
	Yes.
	We'll see.
	Yep.
	So thank you for the question.
	JustLiz, with two Ukraine flags on their title, says, the Queen of Canada has a really horrible theme song.
	I am forever scarred after hearing it on the QAA podcast yesterday.
	If you were the Queen of Canada, what would be your theme song?
	And do you think that 10 hours a day is enough to torture your followers with it?
	Oh man, so this is hard because if I'm thinking about a theme song that I would write for myself, if I were the creator, all my picks are going to make her seem way too cool.
	Because if I needed a theme song for myself, it would be cool.
	So yeah, this is a real pickle.
	I'm trying to think of some B-tier ones.
	How about Pump It Up by Joe Budden?
	That seems like a good one.
	Because the first like time or two that you hear it, you'd be like, yeah, all right, rock on.
	But if you really wanted to torture some people with it, that song seems like after like the third time, you would just be like, okay, I am, I am done pumping it up.
	Please stop pumping it up.
	And it's just like, oh, no, it's there's more coming.
	It's on a loop.
	Louder by the Black Eyed Peas.
	God, I think if I'm the Queen of Canada, I think I just use the Canadian National Anthem.
	I just go that way with it.
	I'm just like, boom, I run this country.
	This anthem is for me now.
	That's such a 1980s wrestler answer.
	Is she going to come out with the flag draped over her shoulders?
	Yes!
	Slowly and somberly walking down the ramp eating poutine.
	Yes!
	Celine Dion will be in the audience applauding.
	I have my own customs.
	Check out my crazy passport.
	Yes, just all of it.
	I can probably speak French!
	Oooh!
	Damn right!
	Really giving it to him good.
	Got him, fucking Canadians.
	Here's your can of sardines.
	I brought you all snacks.
	Here's your bag of milk.
	And your Universal Healthcare.
	And your Timmy Hortons.
	Timbo's!
	Yeah, get some Timbits.
	Dude, get some... the Justin Bieber ones.
	I can't remember what they were called.
	The name was incredibly dumb.
	Justin Bieber had a Timbo's collab where he was like... Of course he did.
	I think they were called Timbeams.
	I generally think they were called Timbeams.
	Oh dear God.
	Fantastic.
	Okay, Cleodoria Silvestri asks, is there any chance that the right will ever realize that triggering the left is just encouraging them to vote more?
	No, because they're dumb.
	I hope not.
	It seems like at some point that's the only, it seems like the only way to fire up, like, the blue base sometimes, is to just make them get big angry at the other team.
	Right, just keep poking them with a stick!
	I mean, like, literally, they're like, we're gonna own you libs!
	Take away your rights!
	How do you like them apples?
	It's like, hey, how do you like it when we take away your Roe v. Wade?
	And the Democrats are just like, uh, we fucking hate it, so we're not gonna vote.
	We don't like it a lot.
	We really dislike it, so now we're gonna vote in numbers and the Republicans are just like, oh no.
	Oh shit.
	I did not foresee this.
	How could this possibly happen?
	I thought everybody wanted abortion outlawed.
	Holy shit.
	I totally thought women were cool with being second class citizens.
	Who could have foreseen this?
	Meanwhile, Texas any day now is going to go back to hanging witches.
	Texas just cannot stop being like, we're the biggest, most backward state there is!
	Travel back to a simpler time before anyone but white male landowners had rights.
	Yeah, I wish you were wrong.
	Did you see the video where someone literally was just like, they were in the passenger seat of a car that was driving down the highway, and they just pulled out a gun and started firing it into the night air?
	I did, yeah.
	Some young woman, I believe, who got arrested shortly thereafter.
	Somebody just posted, like, Facebook Livestream, just like, yo, look at how hard my girlfriend is.
	She's blasting her heater out the window into the air around Houston.
	Stop filming yourself doing crimes.
	That's for the police.
	Hey, he was filming his girlfriend doing crimes.
	Although, probably he was also doing a crime by driving her while she did that.
	Yeah, but mostly the crime he was filming was her.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Stop filming you and your friends committing crimes challenge, colon, impossible.
	You just gotta do it.
	I gotta film myself doing the crimes.
	Although, we do encourage the listeners to continue to film police doing crimes.
	Yes.
	That's the only way that anything's ever going to happen, I guess.
	Right.
	Even then, progress is slow.
	Yes, it's brutal.
	I just watched an officer shoot somebody because they were trying to shoot their dog the other day.
	It was great.
	It's just like, I'm sorry I shot you to death.
	I was trying to kill your dog instead.
	My defense is that your dog scared me so I pulled up my gun and started shooting in your direction.
	Just mini shots fired.
	So I started blasting.
	I got spooked by your dog.
	And that's why I killed you, because I'm a trained police officer.
	This is totally cool.
	I just love those people who are like, if you just complied, you wouldn't get killed.
	And it's like, so I'm the one who has to be calm, cool and collected, not the trained law enforcement officer with the gun.
	It's me, the civilian that has that guy waving the gun at me.
	And I'm the one that's going to be chill.
	It's OK if he freaks out and murders me.
	If I, in any way, shape or form, like react poorly to the situation.
	We're the red-faced lunatic with a gun!
	We have so many years of that not being the truth.
	Right!
	Also, I mean, look, maybe it's odd me because maybe it's just not a sustainable
	or believable expectation.
	But I want my police officers to be hard enough where they solo the dog with a baton or their flashlight
	or try to tase it.
	Sure, they've got a taser.
	I do tase the dog.
	So that way, if you miss, which you do, you don't end up killing anyone
	that just happens to be around.
	So like, you know, or like just go like one on one, the dog, just like try to just intimidate the dog.
	One man, one dog.
	Yeah, I expect a member of law enforcement to be able to one on one a dog.
	Dogs are scary.
	I used to have to run from dogs as a child growing up in Georgia, where people did not believe in chaining or leashing their dogs.
	Like, those dogs would chase you, and you would have to run from them.
	It was just a fact of life.
	So, believe you me, but I was not, like, trained To, in theory, subdue human beings at their most violent.
	So like, I feel like if that's your job, you should just be like, oh shit, a dog, and your training should kick in.
	And that training should not start with shoot it to death.
	Immediately go to lethal.
	You have no non-lethal ways.
	You have no form of de-escalation.
	Just straight lethal force immediately.
	The gun literally just materializes in your hand as soon as the adrenaline kicks in.
	It's like a superpower.
	I'm an officer of the law and I'm scared.
	Whoop!
	And the gun's in your hand.
	But if there's a door between you and the target, you, everybody, let's relax.
	Powerless.
	Absolutely fucking powerless.
	Everybody calm down.
	Does anyone have the janitor's number?
	Does anyone have the janitor?
	Someone please unlock this door for us.
	Do you guys hear how badly those children are screaming and crying?
	It must be really scary in there.
	I'm not going in there.
	So yeah, fuck the cops.
	So placeholder asks, so the Queen of Canada and negative 48 get married.
	Who officiates, assuming no Trumps or Kennedys are willing to?
	What is your gift to the most conspiratorial and grift and griftacular couple?
	Hunter Biden's laptop and Q himself.
	I would, Ron Watkins officiating a wedding would really, really kill the sizzle there.
	I mean, you gotta have a little charisma, a little gravitas, a little understanding of how to read a room.
	But Mike, just picture, I now pronounce you, success kid fist, man and wife.
	The moment you paused, I knew what was happening and it killed me.
	It absolutely killed.
	So, you know, I got to go celebrity.
	And who's the best Republican celebrity?
	We all know it's the Nuge.
	So I feel like the Nuge should officiate.
	And for my gift, I'm going big.
	I'm getting them a time machine so they can go back to whenever the fuck they thought America was great.
	You could just go there.
	Just fuck off to that time.
	It's like a portal, though.
	They don't get to come back.
	It's a way to be like, everybody wins.
	They get to go back to whatever they think America was great.
	And we get to be rid of them.
	We'd also like best man is Rob Schneider.
	Oh, God.
	Rob's that interview between Rob and Glenn Beck was is truly, truly heartwarming.
	Oh, my God.
	Seeing Rob Snyder, again, in the year 2020, being like, I don't care about my career.
	It's like, Rob, you don't have a career anymore.
	It's over.
	It ended a long time ago.
	Well, I mean, does being Adam Sandler's friend count as a career?
	Because for a lot of those guys, it sure seems like it does.
	Doing blackface on the regular in Adam Sandler movies.
	I mean, look, someone's still gotta be willing to do it if you're gonna make, like, how else are you gonna make jokes about blackface, Sarge?
	I mean, somebody has to be in blackface.
	It's too funny not to go for.
	Also, so, I love that people were still, like, I love that blackface was still a thing after Tropic Thunder.
	Like, I thought for sure that that was the apotheosis of the blackface joke.
	It was just like, okay, it's gotten to the most self-aware and most widely, like, you know, it's Robert Downey Jr.
	post-Iron Man doing it in a movie directed by Ben Stiller.
	It's like pretty high-profile, blackface is over.
	Like, we did it.
	Right.
	It's over.
	That movie came out like 2008 or whatever.
	It's like fucking shit.
	We're still talking about it.
	People still still just painting themselves inappropriately.
	It's so stupid.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's like I love I love when people are like, oh, you couldn't make that movie nowadays.
	And it's like we did Tropic Thunder.
	We literally did a black face joke and everyone was OK with it.
	Because the thing is, it's like you can't do the joke poorly.
	You have to land the plane.
	That's the point.
	Like, people are like, oh, you couldn't make Blazing Saddles nowadays.
	It's like, you could.
	You just have to explain why you're doing it.
	You have to make it land.
	That's it.
	Personally, I do think that if you were pitching movies like Blazing Saddles, depending on who was pitching it, Like, you know, I feel like if it was an African-American creator pitching a movie like Blazing Saddles, they could get it made.
	Tropic Thunder, I still feel like, is a bit of a stretch in our current climate, which I think is fine.
	I mean, the Gold Post moved because we advance as a society, but it doesn't, like, you know, Tropic Thunder, it's still a funny comedy, and like, you know, they sort of, they had, they made their point, and that point was over, and then people should probably just stop painting themselves to look like other races.
	Yeah, it's a weird joke, and the whole joke is, it's not okay, even for art.
	We're making a joke of that for art, for the joke.
	See how it, yeah.
	Yeah, hey, if Jordan Peele wants to make Blazing Saddles, he can.
	That's all I'm saying, so yeah.
	So I don't know who I have officiate this thing.
	I mean, the news sounds solid.
	I feel like let's go old school conspiracy.
	Let's have Alex Jones do it.
	Let's have Alex just get red in the face and marry these two grifters.
	And I guess my gift to them would be Uh, they also, then Alex somehow hoodwinks them into giving them all of his debt from all the Sandy Hood lawsuits, and they end up buried in bankrupt forever, because, uh, fuck the Queen of Canada and fuck negative 48.
	They're both huge pieces of shit.
	He gives her, like, a real-life Uno reverse card.
	Yes!
	And it just, like, runs out of the building.
	Yes, it's like it's like it's like a it's like a wrestling villain stealing the world title and fleeing into the dead of night.
	That would be that would be our boy Alex Jones, who is nothing if not a dumb cartoon character.
	So the nerdy horror fan asks, Who is the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or do they all suck?
	And someone replied to this and said Donatello.
	So now whoever responded was correct.
	That is the only appropriate answer.
	Donatello is the best Ninja Turtle.
	For several reasons.
	Purple is the best color out of the ones provided.
	He has the best reach in the video games due to the fact that he uses a Bow Staff.
	The Bow Staff is a pretty cool weapon, although there are arguments that the Katana is cooler, which I will listen to because I will entertain that a Katana is cooler than a Bow Staff.
	And also his specialty is being able to create super science inventions.
	It's just like he's just fired on all cylinders, baby.
	Donatello rules!
	Real answer?
	It depends on the version of the Ninja Turtles we're talking about.
	They were super fun in Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
	Donatello was really fun in that one.
	I feel like... Doesn't he get a robot body in the comic books?
	Uh, he's a cyborg for a little while in the Image comics because I think Rocksteady and Bebop, like, kill him.
	Don't tell us laps.
	Yeah, he comes back as either a robot or a cyborg.
	Although if I wanted to, if I wanted to be a dickhead and to give a dickhead answer, I would say Usagi Yojimbo is the best Ninja Turtle.
	How do you like that answer?
	Venus de Milo.
	Ooh, I love that one because it's terrible and wrong and great.
	That's for like the five of you out there who get that.
	Yeah.
	I just remember when the cartoon was going, there was one episode where one of the other three Ninja Turtles said, this is the point where we just wait for Donatello to figure it out.
	And then they smash cut to Donatello being like, I solved the problem, guys!
	And he has created the answer to the problem that they are dealing with and they take care of it.
	Donatello was overpowered, please nerf, so yeah.
	I mean, he's essentially Tony Stark.
	That's exactly what they do in Endgame.
	Where, you know, Ant-Man shows back up and he's just like, hey, I think time travel is possible because of this place called the Quantum Realm.
	Maybe you should look into this, Tony Stark.
	So they pitch it to him, but he's just like, no, fuck off.
	And then during his downtime, he's just like, eh, maybe I'll invent time travel or whatever.
	And then they show up just like casually inventing some time travel and he shows up to them and he's just like, okay guys, I did it.
	I invented time travel and I have an Iron Man suit.
	Let's do it.
	Let's go.
	Yum.
	So good to eat it.
	You just have Tony Stark around to create all of your problems and then solutions to problems.
	He's just like a one-man, he's a one-man franchise machine.
	Namecannotbeblanket says, how likely is that quote-unquote the storm is just an easily predicted overindulgence of Big Macs that cause a diarrhea tornado at Mar-a-Lago?
	Is Ronald McDonald an agent of the Deep State?
	Grimace, dare I ask, the Hamburglar?
	Wait, what?
	Hamburger is clearly an anarchist at best.
	Yeah.
	Like, I mean, like, if Hamburger wasn't an anarchist, he would be Antifa for sure.
	He's an actual criminal.
	Yes.
	But he's got, like, the black mask and, like, the, you know, the covering up your identity and, like, whatever.
	So if he wasn't a criminal, he would be Antifa.
	As a criminal, I say anarchist.
	Yep.
	Yeah, I think he's, uh, yeah, he's one of these people that just, uh, he's outside the left-right paradigm because he just, he hates all governments.
	He just wants to tear the system down.
	I think that's what we need.
	The grim, the grim, dark McDonald's universe.
	We need to go, like, the Nolan reboot of McDonald's, where just, like, all the characters are just, like, horribly, like, just, like, realistic and gritty.
	Like, I don't know how you make a gritty Grimace, but that's what I want.
	I want Grimace to just be, like... Well, I mean, you could go back to, like, the old Grimace, right?
	He was just, like, an actual monster.
	He used to have, like, six arms and shit.
	He used to be easily more grotesquable.
	Before they softened him, it just made him, like, a big pink blob, or a purple blob.
	We can bring back MacTonight as well.
	Yeah, I love MacTonight.
	I love that idea.
	MacTonight is such a strong, like... I feel like MacTonight is like the Green Ranger of the McDonald's mascot universe.
	He shows up late, but he's just way cooler than everything else.
	It's just like, he was so cool that the guy he was emulating sued them because they were doing too well emulating him, but they were just like...
	I'm suing you.
	We need to shut this down because now everyone is going to think of your stupid mood head.
	What they're really thinking of is me!
	So he's like, shut it all down.
	And they were like, OK, well, congratulations on your lawsuit.
	Back tonight is over.
	Yeah.
	You killed it.
	We could bring back, what was it, Chief Mac or Chief Big Mac, whatever it was.
	Mayor McCheese?
	No, no, no, but they used to have like a long arm of the law that was fit chasing the Hamburglar and he had a Big Mac head or whatever.
	Pretty sure I didn't make that up.
	You could play it either way.
	He could be Commissioner Gordon or he could be Harvey Bullock.
	Officer Big Mac.
	Yeah, there we go.
	I'm on the McDonald's fan wiki.
	Oh, Giant Meteor, please come for us.
	I'm now pilled.
	The McDonald's fan wiki has broken me.
	That's where I draw the line on society.
	It is his responsibility to prevent the Hamburglar from stealing hamburgers and to prevent Captain Crook from stealing Filet-O-Fish.
	Oh yeah, I forgot about Captain Crook.
	Yeah, Captain Crook, he was just about that fish, dude.
	Captain Crook would be great.
	Why the fuck hasn't anybody made a Smash Bros.
	game with fast food mascots yet?
	McDonald's could fill like a roster by itself.
	I mean, multiverses is adding the Wicked Witch of the West, so I feel like we're only one step away from getting your wish.
	I saw that, I think I posted a link in the group chat of that Street Fighter fighting game that's like all famous officers and it was like Lovecraft getting punched in the head by Hemingway.
	It was just like...
	Yeah, I mean, people, uh, making video games is easier now than it ever has been, and people are really chopping it and screwing it.
	So, you know, if you thought that, that fighting game where everybody was fighting as gods, including the Christian, the Christian Jesus, then, uh, like, if you thought that was the pinnacle, then just you wait.
	It's getting even, it's getting even weirder and somehow more...
	More official.
	Like, Multiverse is absolutely bananas.
	LeBron James is a character in that.
	LeBron James can fight Superman in that cartoon video game.
	Yes, John Cena's in Fortnite, and Patrick Mahomes is in Fortnite now, next to Goku, and they're all doing the Dougie.
	Yes!
	So welcome to... I mean, hey, it turns out that culture was a singularity and now it's all just getting coalesced by big business.
	Eventually, we're just going to get the one thing that is all the cultures smashed together.
	Reality is effectively meaningless at this point.
	It's called the metaverse and Mark Zuckerberg is very excited about it.
	Yeah, he's absolutely killing it.
	You can tell by his mannequin-like facial expression.
	They tell me, this is what excited looks like.
	And our final question from the mailbag is Patrick asking, so Trump is reposting a 2017 Q-drop.
	He's clearly not in a good mental space right now.
	How can we make him feel better?
	I would take him to McDonald's and order him a Happy Meal.
	What about you guys?
	So apparently we have a powerfully McDonald's-centric mailbag this week.
	We'll let him hang out with Hamburglar and Captain Crook.
	The cat just went nuts.
	For the peek behind the curtain folks, it looked like Sarge was being tased.
	Like whatever the hell was going on there, Sarge's facial reaction was intense.
	Cat trying to sit in my lap and then slipping and then he auto-corrected by deploying all claws.
	I bet fast food would make Trump happy, but we already talked enough about McDonald's, so I'd rather take him someplace else.
	So I'm gonna bring Trump to Crystal.
	Crystal doesn't get enough respect because most people don't know about it, but I know about you, Crystal, and those Chili Cheese Waffle Fries are delicious.
	Or they were 30 years ago when I had them last.
	They were great.
	So if you've maintained over the past 30 years, Crystal, I'm bringing our former POTUS to you.
	To eat away his blues.
	For you Yankees, Crystal is just the South's version of White Castle.
	They do like many hamburger sliders, but they have chili cheese waffle fries that were delicious.
	I think I just get Trump, like I get him as big a blow up as I can of his emotional support electoral college map of him beating Hillary Clinton.
	And I just like sort of like wave that in front of him to remind him of the good old days.
	I'd be like, hey, remember when you got 306 electoral votes?
	Wasn't that great?
	You little scamp.
	Although I might have to like not use those actual numbers because that's also the number of votes Biden got.
	I'll just try to do what I can to try to buck up our soon-to-be-indicted former president by like, hey, remember when you beat Crooked Hillary and then you were president for four years and served one whole term as president and made it out of office without being indicted?
	Wasn't that great?
	Oh, man.
	Wish we could go back to those times, right?
	Oh, man.
	So the good old days.
	Remember the days.
	Yes.
	So how would you buck up our down-in-the-dumps former president there, Sarge?
	Oh, I said I'm taking him to- I'm finding a McDonald's that still has a play place and taking him to the ball pit.
	Oh, hell yeah!
	Hiring guys to come dressed as all the the McDonald's land characters of yore.
	Of his youth, as it were.
	Our ancient former president.
	So that brings us to the question we always end with, which is, what are you guys looking forward to?
	Like I said, I finally get more JoJo Part 6 this week.
	It's coming out of Netflix jail or whatever.
	So pretty excited for that.
	Been waiting many, many months.
	I'm excited for fall.
	I don't care what the goddamn calendar says.
	September 1st, it's fall.
	So, as of recording, fall will start tomorrow, and it will last until snow happens.
	And then it will be winter.
	So, I'm looking forward to fall, however long that is.
	It's my favorite season, and it transitions into my second favorite time of the year, which is the Christmas season.
	I'm just really into that.
	The back half of winter kind of sucks, but the start of winter is pretty nice.
	Yeah, December, cool.
	February, not so much.
	Yeah, it starts to drag.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, tomorrow, as of this recording, when September 1st rolls around, I'm going to manifest a pumpkin-flavored something into my hand, like the gun of a nervous policeman.
	Exactly.
	So I, the fall also coincides with me getting to watch my favorite form of sports ball and all the wagering festivities that come with that.
	And because at my local casino, people know that I like to talk a mad game about sports betting and stuff like that.
	Now is the time where people are like, yo, Mike, what's the play this week?
	And I get to like arrogantly spout off my advice.
	And the thing that I've learned, which I'm sure like basically every right wing grifter has figured out, and pretty much every con artist has learned, is that if you're just constantly confident and brash about things, people tend to remember your hits and they tend to ignore your misses.
	You end up becoming an expert because people just remember, oh yeah, you nailed the Super Bowl.
	They don't remember the five games before that that you bricked horribly.
	So it's very funny that like I have become like this person that people rely on for advice when it comes to those things.
	When I am at no better than flipping a coin.
	If you flip the coin and just had the coin tell you what to bet on,
	you'd probably make as much money as if you listen to me.
	So that is something I enjoy.
	Just like having undeserved gravitas.
	That's what I'm all about.
	So that's my life right now.
	I've always said this about Mike Rains.
	He demands his personal sense of gravitas.
	It's what makes him, him.
	But that's going to do it for our episode for the week.
	It's time for me to crinkle up my nose and disapparate us from Hellworld like so much genie.
	Or was that Samantha from Bewitched?
	I can't even remember.
