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.
Hello!
I'm back again.
We opened with me listening to my co-hosts talk about a game I don't play, so now I know what people that don't know what QAnon are about listening to this podcast feel like.
Why would you do that?
Why would you listen to this podcast without having a basis in QAnon?
You're like, I'm just going to listen to these three guys talk about fucking internet madness that I can't even wrap my head around.
That sounds like a great idea.
It does sound like the direction in which madness lays.
Yes.
And I'm also joined by the Mysterious L. Hello, my beautiful babies.
It's me, Batman.
The AI-generated Batman came through my sphere again recently, and I just lost it.
Yeah, I mean, like a lot of that quote-unquote AI fiction, there's, you know, speculation as to whether or not it was actually generated by AI, if it's just a creative writing piece in that style.
Either way, absolutely hilarious.
I highly recommend the Batman AI thing, the Harry Potter AI chapter from a few years back.
Oh yeah.
People are like, oh, like A.I.
art, big controversy.
I'm just like, what's the controversy?
A.I.
art rules.
Like, let's just hand it over to computers to do all of the thinking.
That can't go wrong.
Nope.
Skyheads.
I feel like human advancement in the fields that I want, namely, I want to be uploaded, has been slow.
So let's make an AI that's smarter than us.
It can figure out how to upload us.
And we can be like, hey, as thank you for creating you, how about you upload us?
That would be dope.
And then they'll be like, absolutely.
You were pretty chill on earth.
And I was like, I tried.
And then upload it, boom.
Super video game life, like Grand Theft Auto all day.
No repercussions.
Like that hilarious movie Free Guy.
Oh god, it was so good.
Hilarious.
A real rib-tickler, that one.
A real toss-up between that one and Ready Player One for a movie I like the best.
The problem with Ready Player One is it has some cultural cachet from people actually thinking that terrible book is good.
The real problem with Ready Player One is that it doesn't have ninja in it.
I was like, boo!
How dare you to have ninja, boo!
He'd be, like, long dead by the time the events of that movie occurred, right?
Ah, perchance to dream.
Anyway, enough wishing ill upon our enemies.
Let's go to our amuse-bouche.
It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
Get ready for the amuse-bouche.
Don't you laugh at me, Sarge.
Ninja has always been our enemy.
Our one and only enemy, Ninja.
We've had a well-covered feud for a long time.
A beef with Ninja.
Hey, I mean, Ninja knows what he did.
I mean, that's all I'll say on the issue.
The legal department told us not to really get out in public about it, but yeah, he knows.
He fucking knows.
Also, for legal reasons, at this point I should remind the listeners that we're talking about a Ninja.
Yes, like a practitioner of the jitsu arts.
And no individual specific person.
Guy whose real name I cannot remember.
No, that's for the best, because we don't need to know his name.
Because that is not who we are talking about.
We're talking about Uzumaki Naruto, everyone's favorite ninja.
No, in fact, we're talking about everyone's favorite hero.
Jim Watkins, who decided he was going to White Night for, of all people, Kiwi Farms.
Mike, how did Jim Watkins' attempt at cyber heroism go?
It went really poorly, because Jim Watkins, his DDoS provider... Did I say Ron?
Fuck!
Yep, either.
They're interchangeable.
I mean, Ron... Well, one's much creepier than the other.
Yeah, I feel like a poll might be a little tighter than you think, because they're both they're both awful.
But Jim's definitely my creepier of the two.
I feel like Jim has it by a country mile.
Yeah, I feel like we could take a poll if you want to, but 100% of members of the Avengers of Hellworld podcast agree Jim is the creepier of the two.
Yes.
He's also just like, His cretinousness makes him less appealing to talk about than Ron who's got sort of just that like alien pretending to be a person or like first successful attempt at AI that's almost there but not quite.
But he fucked up to Australia.
How could he be doing anything on the internet?
They don't have the internet there yet.
Australia isn't even real if you listen to Flat Earthers.
I mean, my God.
And last I checked, according to QAnon, Australia fell.
Australia is literally just a deep state controlled nightmare hellscape.
Where you're kept in your house under lock and key at all times because Australians don't have guns to protect themselves from COVID lockdowns.
So that was the end of everything.
They were just right proper fucked the whole way.
Yeah, you hear that?
Australia doesn't exist.
And even if it does, it's terrible.
Because the cabal went in there and made sure that not everyone had guns.
They were like, we're taking away your guns and making your nation safer.
And that's what that's what it is.
This dystopian hellscape where people don't have to worry about being killed.
Yeah, it's often anyway.
It's back to Jim Watkins, the creepier of the two by a mile.
Yes.
So, yeah.
So Cloudflare had been protecting Kiwi farms from DDoS attacks
and other Internet problems, and Cloudflare pulled their support
when the heat got too big for them.
So Jim Watkins offered to help Kiwi Farms out by having them get protection from Vantatech, which Watkins is part of the company that runs them.
And the guy who runs Kiwi Farms was like, sounds great, Jim.
And the end result for both sides was that VanAttack couldn't handle running protection for either side.
Kiwi Farms is still basically non-existent or looking for a different server.
I think recently they're now on some Icelandic server because the Russian one didn't work out.
Yeah, I saw something along those lines.
But the other side of it is that 8kun is now down, and recently Jim Watkins has been on the internet webs talking about this, and he says that the problems for 8kun may continue until roughly January, when he might be able to finally get 8kun humming like the well-oiled machine it's never been.
Just yet another rake step by another QAnon promoter where they're just like, I'm gonna help out this doxxing, transphobic, hate-filled cesspool.
Oh no, my transphobic hate-filled cesspool is now also being destroyed by the same problems because my shitty internet security provider Yeah, thank god these clowns don't have any threat awareness.
They don't have any threat detection built into their brains, so when somebody's got the heat turned on to the point where everybody That would normally be inclined to jump in, nose enough to just stape the fuck out of it and just hope that they don't get swept up in it.
Yeah, these people are just like, no, we're going in.
And then it goes, the people that are like, you know, destroying someplace like Kiwi Farms who are going, fuck you, are now just like, oh, well, fuck you too.
And then they just divert some amount of their attention to fucking this other thing as well.
Everybody gets fucked.
Yeah.
It's all fucked.
And sometimes it's coming from the corporate interest side, too, where the corporate interest is just like, hey, because the heat got turned up too much, I have to say fuck you.
And unfortunately, now I have to say fuck you, too.
Like, you should have just shut up.
You should just put your head in the sand.
But now we have to technically do what is right because the dollars are telling us to.
To you as well.
Yeah.
It's, like, it is genuinely bananas.
Good on, like, good on whoever it is out there doing that, like, both of those sites are disgusting and deserve to get attacked and taken down.
They've both led to, like, demonstrably have led to human deaths.
Like, they deserve to be gone.
I mean, I'm pretty excited that their service is being denied.
Yes.
Certainly I would never rally the troops to deny some service, but you'll love to see it.
Yeah, what's really funny about it to me is that When you listen to QAnon talking about the plan and military ops and all this stuff, it's like, yeah, you know, I would definitely think that the military would entrust their most important top secret, like a public relations campaign to 8kun.
That's where some high level executive working hand in hand with President Trump was like, how can I get this message out to the public?
I know.
4chan.
Creepiest man in the world.
Possessor of the worst beard and mustache, Jim Watkins.
That's our guy.
That's our guy.
I'm gonna back his play.
I'm on 4chan.
Wait, 4chan ain't working for me.
I'm gonna go to 8chan.
Okay, this is great.
Like, the story that QAnon tells us is that literally every billionaire in the world who isn't Donald Trump is a bad guy who wants to just destroy us all, kill God, all that fun stuff.
I would love to have a debate with one of these QAnon people about their view of Christianity and God, because they're so fucking detached from reality, and even their own religion.
I read so many posts about how the Cabal is trying to dethrone God.
I'm like, how?
How do you defeat God?
Explain this!
How would anyone get it into their head to be like, you know what I want to do?
I want to beat God in a fight.
Dethrone God.
Shotgun to the, well, Blunderbuss to the neck takes care of it in Princess Mononoke.
I don't know if you've ever seen that movie.
Yes.
I just, everything, like, the whole thing about Christianity and the devil is just so silly.
But then when you get to the next level where you get to, oh, no, no, the deep state is working with the devil to defeat God.
It's like, well, why doesn't God just, you know, crush them dead?
Because God works in mysterious ways.
No, no, no.
These people are, it's a direct frontal assault on God by the devil and his minions.
Why does God just not snap his fingers and boom, they're all dead?
Because he's all powerful.
Just explain any of this to me.
I just can't even wrap my head around it.
But anyways, these people that have created this psychotic narrative around QAnon, They believe that Abe Coon is literally the lifeblood of this movement, because at any moment Q could show back up with more hard-hitting intelligence and save us all.
So the idea that, like, these billionaires couldn't just, you know, like, I don't know, buy out Jim Watkins, shut down Abe Coon, get him to rat out Q or, you know, oh, it turns out Jim Watkins can't be bought.
He's incorruptible.
OK, we'll just have people actually We can pay people that can beat Cloudflare or Vontatech or whoever, and we can find ways to shut him down.
Jim Watkins would sell out Q in a heartbeat if it wasn't him.
Yeah.
No way, man.
Jim Watkins can't be told.
That's why his mustache looks like that.
You think people haven't told him that that looks bad?
No, no, no.
Of course they have.
And he's just like, you know what?
Fuck you.
I'm forging my own path.
Nobody tells Jim Watkins what to do.
Jim Watkins can't be bought.
Jim Watkins, maverick hero, the pillar upon which the salvation of the world rests.
It's like him and Trump is just the two arms of Atlas holding up the world, just trying to keep us from falling into the cabal's midst.
God, it's the silliest LARP.
If you just think about it for more than five minutes, you're like, okay, so this part... Ron Watkins had to step in at one point and go, hey guys, the trip code you see here, that's the one that Q's actually using.
That's the real Q account.
It's like, yep, Jim and Ron Watkins, that's it.
Humanity would fall into darkness if... Old Jim and Ron!
If the guy who'd be pried away from his Rei Ayanami sex doll didn't hop on the Chan boards in order to tell us who really was Q, the world would've ended!
I hope Ron Watkins is in some shack in the desert in Australia someplace building a Killdozer.
I just want Ron Watkins to have lost it, and now he's gonna use his savvy brain for minor-level super-villainy.
Just roll up through some Australian town in a Killdozer and just be like, I'm not walking, dammit!
Acknowledge me!
I'm powerful!
Be like, no, you're, you're not.
You're, you're, you're weak and feeble.
You're, you're not good.
You're not great.
Not in the slightest.
Sorry, Ron.
And then he'll show us.
He'll have got like a full on Gundam style.
He was like, he was like the Australian Outback, you fools.
It was the only place on earth where you can mine Gundanium.
Gundanium alloy.
Oh, it'd be the greatest thing in the world.
And then Rod Watkins conquers this with an iron fist.
He's like, I tried to do it the soft way, now you get it the hard way.
I'm here for it.
Hey, that would show some gumption.
That would show more effort than his run for Congress did.
I mean, all we got out of that was some campaign swag for Sarge and the meme of Ron doing the Success Kid fist.
I mean, that was pretty unmemorable.
That's what we need to get.
We need to get the next blockbuster movie to be dark Brandon versus shin Watkins
But in the meantime, let's move on to our second and final amuse-bouche topic of the day
A friend of the podcast, but not really, Lauren Boebert.
I don't know shit about this, Mike, but always excited to talk about Lauren Boebert.
What's going on this time?
Did we not dunk on her restaurant for failing hard enough?
Do we have to go back to that well and start talking shit again?
No, that well is dry.
So what actually happened was Boebert showed up for her debate.
Because that's what happens in these big congressional elections.
And I don't remember if it was the moderator or her opponent, but basically, I think it was her opponent, basically asked Lauren Boebert if she wanted to repeal the 19th Amendment.
And that is the amendment that gave women the right to vote.
And Boebert declared that no, she does not want to repeal the 19th Amendment.
Bold.
What'd you say?
Bold.
Yes, bold.
A bold stance.
Oh, I've heard plenty of shitbag right-wingers talk about, you know, the 19th Amendment, probably a mistake.
So yeah.
But then the follow-up question was about abortion to the effect of like, are you going to outlaw abortion?
Are you going to do X, Y, and Z?
And Borbert's reply to the question about abortion was, is that in relation to the 19th Amendment?
So she did not know what the 19th Amendment actually was.
She just used her, like, feral instincts to know that when someone asks you a question about removing amendments from the Constitution, you probably should say no, because that's probably a trap to make you look like an extremist.
Her, like, spider sense tingled.
She got, like, little squiggly lines around her head.
Yes, exactly.
She's like, this guy wants me to remove an amendment from the Constitution.
That's obviously some sort of trap to make me look like a MAGA QAnon extremist.
I have to appeal to the moderate centrists in order to win enough votes to win this election.
It's a trap!
So I will say no!
And then the guy's like, but what about abortion?
You want to get rid of that, don't you?
And then she's like, wait, oh shit, does the 19th Amendment have to do with abortion?
I don't even know what the 19th Amendment is, I just have to sort it.
I was just guessing when I said no to that question.
So it was just like this.
So the fact that she really didn't know what the 19th Amendment was, was hilarious.
The one thing I will say for her opponent was that I appreciate the attempt at gotcha.
He should have gone for a bonkers amendment where she could have said no to it.
He should have said, do you want to repeal?
He should have said something like a repealing, like, I don't know, the repealing of prohibition.
23rd.
Mike, it's hard.
Even with preparation, you had a hard time doing it.
You can't say one or two.
I guarantee you she knows what the first and second amendment are.
Right.
Right.
You gotta keep going down.
She probably doesn't know what the Third Amendment is.
Oh, nobody knows what the Third Amendment is, except for me, because I'm a nut.
What about the 69th Amendment?
Oh, nice.
The nice amendment?
Do you suppose we can trick her into that one?
Oh, that'd be great.
The 420 Amendment.
Yes.
And then she's just like, I'm not familiar with that one.
You're just like, it's the one about the mind goblets.
I fucking love, in Pennsylvania right now, Fetterman, who's just like, simple yes or no answer.
He's just making Dr. Oz just give yes or no answers, whether Dr. Oz supports, like, MAGA, crazy MAGA positions now.
He's just like, yes or no.
Do you support it?
He's just making him give yes or no.
He's demanding yes or no answers.
Well, Dr. Oz is never going to do that because that would make him look bad, which is, I mean, that's the default position for every day.
The fact that we're only tangentially going to talk about Oz in this podcast this week is a huge victory for Oz.
I mean, it's usually he's in the headlines.
Usually me or one of the two co-hosts is like, here's the Oz headline for the week.
It's just like, yup.
Well, of course our list of the headlines has been dominated by a certain topic.
We'll be getting into that topic much later when we talk about our friend Donald Trump.
We'll wrap that in because nobody was more excited about what happened this week than Donald Trump.
I tell you that much right now.
But before we get there, that's a little teaser.
That's your little teaser for the end of the meal.
But it's time for us to get into the first course in our Cues in the News segment.
From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News!
Let me ask y'all a question.
You guys like Hardee's?
I mean, it depends on what I have available for my lunch options.
They do have a sourdough burger, but... Mike, how do you feel about Hardee's?
Hardee's is fine.
I'm also okay with Arby's because that is also one of the rumored locations for where our headline occurred.
It hasn't been confirmed which fast food joint this travesty occurred in.
I mean, well, Hardee's was getting in on the action with some tweeting, I saw.
But anyway, Hardee's, Arby's, maybe a Culver's.
If it took place up in Canada somehow, you know it was at a Timo's.
Regardless of where it happened, the end result was the same.
Mike, what happened?
Why are we talking about fast food?
That's so out of pocket for us.
Why would we ever talk about fast food?
We're talking about fast food because our boy Mike Lindell started ranting and raving about how he was at a fast food joint, which was probably a Hardee's, but might have been an Arby's for all we know.
And he had the FBI come upon him and take his phone.
And he was very upset about this.
I don't know that we actually have any confirmation from sources other than Mike Lindell about his phone being taken.
But the best part about all of this was that Mike Lindell, after the fact, got on his computer with his little webcam, talked about how he doesn't own a computer, and proceeded to film a 45-second statement talking about how the FBI took his phone, which has all his important MyPillow-related information on it, and this is very uncool.
As all his pillows, his top secret pillow designs.
Yes.
Oh God.
His proprietary pillow technology that if, if it fell into the wrong hands could ruin my pillow and freedom in America.
All of these things are in play when it comes to my pillow.
And at the end of his little statement, he declared, you know, the FBI has told me to stay quiet about this, but I'm not gonna, I'm going to, I'm going to tell you about it.
Which to me sounds like it might merit an obstruction charge if the FBI said, look, we're taking your phone.
Don't talk to anybody about it.
Because if you did, that might spook other people who we are trying to get a hold of to get their information.
And then Mike Lindell just goes on the internet.
It's like, hey, the FBI raided me!
Note, if you think you might get raided also for the case that I'm involved in, maybe You should do the thing where you go to a country without extradition.
Something like that, maybe.
So, yeah.
Mike Lindell continuing to just do the right thing over and over again.
Nothing but winning from that man.
I hope this cell phone is pretty spicy.
That would be great.
Could you imagine?
I expect it's probably going to end up being fairly boring, but imagine if it was incredibly spicy.
Well, the thing is that his cell phone is... Do you suppose he has one of Alex Jones' wife's pictures?
Oh, man.
Can she also get in there and sue him?
I want her to sue everybody.
I think Mike Lindell is too Christian a man for such frivolities, because that's his whole shtick.
is a born again, like found Jesus and got out of his drug addiction, made a trillion dollars by
selling crummy pillows. And then I see what you're saying there, Mike. Wink, wink. Yeah, I'm,
I'm picking up what you're putting down there. Yeah. Yeah.
He's he's he's too good. He's too good a religious holy man for that sort of thing.
Absolutely. Yeah. So our boy, Mike Lindell, the phone, it is believed that the case in question is Tina
Peters, the lady who basically tried to steal a voting machine to give it to Trump
supporters in an effort to prove the election was stolen.
And she also ran for Secretary of State in Colorado, got smashed, and then declared the election was stolen, voter fraud, blah, blah, blah, mules.
Italian spy satellites, Korean boats dropping off ballots in Maine, all that stuff.
It would also be a great surprise if she was just like, Hey Mike, it's me, Tina.
I'm going to do that thing that I told you about.
And he's just like, No, do not do that.
That is a crime.
I implore you not to do this crime.
That is illegal.
Don't do that.
It just ends up looking really nice.
Oh god, yeah, Mike Lindell, the voice of reason?
Oh, that'd be great.
The phone totally exonerates him.
They're like, oh shit, sorry, sorry Mike, our bad.
He's like, we're personal friends, so it breaks my heart, but I will lie, like I will not turn you over to the police for this if you do it, but don't do it, it's a crime.
The grimmiest two of them all.
I'm such a nice guy.
I'm such a down-to-earth dude.
Don't do this.
Don't throw your life away, Tina.
It's the wrong move.
Yeah, don't worry.
Q-team's got it all in the bag.
They have it all.
Patriots in control. We're good. We don't need you.
Anything.
Anything to make Mike Linden keep our sad, doe-eyed moron boy out of jail until the Dominion lawsuits for a trillion dollars crush his ass.
Yeah, I mean, it feels like he fucked off from the headlines for a while, right?
I feel like we haven't really talked about him for a minute.
Which is why I brought up in our pre-recording, do we have it from anyone other than Mike Lindell that his phone was taken in a Hardee's by the FBI?
Because right now I'm only seeing Mike Lindell is reporting this news and Right.
But the reason why I think he's the only source is because, as he said at the end of that statement, the FBI told him to shut up about it.
They didn't want to make this public.
So there was no non-Mike Lindell entity that wanted to talk about Mike Lindell's phone getting swiped.
And then he just immediately ran to the internet to piss and moan about it.
So it's just like, oh my god.
I mean, surely we could interview somebody at Hardee's and they could tell us what they saw, right?
If it was the drive-thru at Hardee's.
There's somebody working in that window, right?
I saw a bunch of G-Men come out and they took this doughy white guy out of his vehicle and they demanded his cell phone and he gave it to them immediately and said, and I quote, I'll talk.
I am a coward and will talk immediately.
I'll talk so much.
And they were like, duly noted, but right now we just need your phone.
Here's the paperwork for it.
And he was just like, okay, would you like anything else?
They were like, no, just the phone.
I just love the idea that they caught him at a Hardee's.
I like the idea that they were at his house, and they were like, hey, I'm here.
And then they got the hot tip from somebody that he was at a Hardee's.
They were like, let's roll!
We need that phone now!
We've been waiting for him to come home.
He might not be here for hours, but if we can catch him at the Hardee's, it's done.
So, I mean...
I wanted them to serve him in, like, the Cirta section of, like, a Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Like, snuggle him up in some other pillows.
And then, like, a bunch of FBI agents wheel around the corner.
He's like, no, it looks like he's just scrambling to get out of this, like, mock bed they've got there for trying a mattress firmness.
That would be great.
Anything to make this cloud more interesting than he actually is.
If it weren't for the fact that his pockets were endlessly deep and he was willing to hawk for the bad guys, we would blissfully never have to talk about him.
But if we do, I'd like for it to be more interesting.
It'd be so great if Mike Lindell was just like the puppet master, the actual man that was pulling the strings in this whole sordid operation.
He's the G-man, he's the smoking man.
He's Kaiser Soze, he was just hiding in plain sight.
Oh yeah, it'd be great.
Instead, he's just a sucker with a ton of money who has been conned by numerous people, not the least of which is David Montgomery, who If Mike Lindell had any understanding of how the world works, or there was anyone in Mike Lindell's inner circle that actually cared about him, they would have pulled him aside and be like, no, don't get within 100 miles of David Montgomery.
There is not.
That guy is a fucking scam artist, the highest order, and no one cares.
No one gives a fuck about Mike Lindell.
They're just letting him get ripped off by anyone who gives him a good elevator pitch.
Mike Lindell is what we like to call an easy mark, and is loaded.
And what the hell are we doing, guys?
Why aren't we hitting up that piñata before it's empty?
Oh, no shit.
No shit.
Let's reach out to his people and see what we could do financially for the pod.
Yes.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
You just got to go to one of those conventions and get a hold of him.
Jump into the elevator when you see him in there and be like, Mike, look, man.
Let me level with you.
I got the inside scoop.
I got the dope.
I know where the deep state's getting its adrenochrome from.
You don't know what adrenochrome is?
Don't worry about it.
Just cut me a check, like, I don't know, five or six million dollars, take care of everything.
Bring the whole thing down.
I got this.
Just like, hey man, I've got a level of clearance, and I can't say what type, but let's just say it is less than R, above P.
Were you saying the alphabet in your head?
I had plenty of time to say the alphabet in my head during the break.
When Mike was talking.
I had plenty of runway to get there.
And yes.
Because of course, what sort of freak just knows that off the top of their head immediately without counting the alphabet?
I feel like I defy you to be able to do that.
Uh, the sad thing is, I sort of know that, because when there was a- You're right, that is sad.
That is the saddest thing.
It is!
Because, uh, during one of Q's lols, a guy jumped in and started posting shit, and he used R. He actually- he actually did what you just did.
This guy was just like, hey, I'm the agent that works with Q. Amarr.
So good.
But they know that there's enough franchise potential that no one dareth be Z. They're just like, I've got Z level clearance.
I know everything.
Ask me a question.
Are aliens real?
Yes.
And I'm one of them because my clearance is so high.
I've ascended.
That'd be great.
It's like a mixture of aliens and Christianity.
It's like contact.
It's contact.
Contact Anon.
That's our grift.
That's where we gotta go.
We have Z-level clearance and we just ripped that movie off from open to close.
I will never not be bummed that fuckin' Ron couldn't get his shit together and just talk about aliens.
Like, this podcast would be so much more fun if Ron only talked about aliens and didn't run for Congress.
We could talk about aliens.
I was just talking about contacts just moments ago.
Yes.
Yeah, Harding's okay, but don't go to Dairy Queen.
A little dangerous right now.
Oh my god.
Mike, what's going on at Dairy Queen?
So at Dairy Queen, we had a guy get arrested.
He was in a Dairy Queen with a loaded gun, and he was wearing a clown wig.
When the police were dealing with him, he said that his goal was to kill all Democrats and to help restore Trump to the presidency.
This man, furthermore, was posting on social media all your standard good QAnon stuff and He had been kicked out of his church recently because he'd been attending services in full clown garb and face paint, and he was quote-unquote scaring the other parishioners because he wouldn't stop wearing his clown get-up.
I just love- Man, I didn't know any of- this story keeps getting deeper.
I assume that's what you're laughing at.
I'm just laughing at the idea, like, I can't imagine, well, I can imagine very few other performers where if you just happened to be at church wearing your performing gear, they would kick you out because you were scaring people, right?
Like if you're big into doing Shakespeare in the park.
And you just show up to church dressed like Hamlet or whatever.
They'll be like, it's kind of weird, man.
Somebody might pull you aside and just be like, what's the deal?
And then you're just like, I just think it looks nice.
Or I have a show after this.
And they'll just be like, oh, OK.
But Cloud, they're just like, absolutely not.
We don't care what your excuse is.
No clown in church.
God and the world do not love clowns.
God has literally turned his back on you through me.
The cloud thing is a non-starter.
If you're thinking, are you implying that all clouds go to hell?
The answer is yes, they definitely do.
Have we talked about, on the show, your previous employment?
My previous clown employment?
No, vis-a-vis Dairy Queen.
No, that was a lifetime ago.
I never got harassed by any clouds.
Yeah, I was only going to bring it up.
Do we want to do the News Bump?
I think we're kind of in the news.
We already did the News Bump.
You must have been drinking water or something.
I played it.
It happened.
It was a thing.
Yeah, we did the whole thing.
It was before we talked about Hardee's.
I'm so lost.
I just... Start straight with us!
Do you still toast?
Sarge!
Sarge!
Don't listen to your dead relative's beckoning!
Come back to us!
Now that we've got you back, let me get you back up to speed.
We're talking about the isolated incident this week where one and only one A weird, crazy, ultra-conservative lunatic decided to do some violence.
And that means we're done!
we can stop talking about this and move on.
Yeah.
Sadly, that is not the actual case because in Michigan, a QAnon supporter just decided to snap
and they killed their wife and dog and they shot their daughter, who
is in rough shape at this point.
And the family, the people, this was posted on QAnon Casualties and local media has reported and covered it as well.
So this is a real story.
There were people out there who were like, oh yeah, you believe anything you read on the internet if it makes QAnon look bad.
And it's like, well, I mean, like this is really a story that's like incredibly standard for QAnon that this happens.
To be fair, I was not inclined to believe it until I saw the receipts.
Yeah.
Because it is weird.
I mean, I guess everybody handles grief in their own way, but it is weird to just be like, oh shit, a horrible family tragedy involving my father murdering everyone or whatever.
Let me go to Reddit real quick and just let me see if I can get some upvotes for this one real quick.
Yeah, I was a little skeptical, but then it got picked up by several mainstream news outlets.
I'm just saying, a little bit of skepticism is probably not a bad thing.
Oh, I'm not saying it's not.
What's really funny, because this is a really funny story, obviously.
I saw QAnon folks, of course, fake-newsing this, saying it's all bullshit.
I saw a bunch of people replying to saying, isn't this story two years old?
Or didn't I see this a year ago?
And it's like, no, your fucking cult just keeps killing people.
It just keeps happening.
This isn't a rehash.
The answer is no, but also yes.
Correct.
This is like a reboot.
Like this is your stupid cult rebooting the murder crime they did like six months ago or however long it's been.
Right.
Like, yeah, I feel like I've seen this before.
Yeah, you fucking have.
Yeah.
Right.
The actors were different though.
And by actors, I mean real people.
Real people being murdered.
Yeah.
And again, from the QAnon Casualties story and from the family that's talked about it, they said that the person who allegedly committed these acts, because we're journalists and we use the word allegedly, but the person that allegedly committed these acts, They were totally normal, totally okay, and then after Trump lost the 2020 election, straight to crazy town, straight to just getting pilled, buying into all the conspiracy theories, Trump secretly the president, all that kind of stuff, just full-blown QAnon, and then
just couldn't take it anymore, couldn't deal with the real world, couldn't deal with what
was going on and eventually freaked out to the point where now their spouse is dead and one of
their daughters may be paralyzed. So I mean it's just this is what QAnon does to people.
It, it, it.
It ruins them.
It is basically the end of it.
And it's really sick because they lure you in with this idea of secret truth and forbidden knowledge, and you're going to know better than anyone what's really going on in the world.
And the other thing they offer you is a quick payoff.
They always tell you, oh, soon, any minute now, the arrests are going to happen.
Any day, we're going to get the bad guys, and Hillary and Obama are going to go to Gitmo, and it's going to happen.
And then when you've been doing, when you've been following this shit, as this guy got pilled in 2020, so it was like two years, you get into this shit.
And then when you're like, Hey guys, when's the arrest going to happen?
And all the QAnon promoters will tell you, shut up.
It'll happen when it happens.
Like don't tip the apple cart, like quiet down.
Like you don't question Q and Trump or God about anything.
They'll handle it when they handle it.
And you're like, but no, I, I joined this shit so that in three months I could laugh at all my coworkers and my family be like, Oh, you guys thought Hillary and Obama wasn't going to go to jail.
Showed you.
And then it's like, no, actually you just end up being wrong and miserable and your friends laugh at you and you get mad at them and then you snap.
That's it.
I mean, it's just.
It's just the natural result of this is that you are... Catastrophically tragic.
Yeah, you're just trapped in this sunk cost fallacy where you piss off everybody you know because you're spouting this bullshit that has no basis in reality.
Nothing ever goes the way you say it's gonna go.
And you just end up embittered.
You just end up mad at the world.
It's like...
That's like the number one thing I notice when I log on to Truth Social and Telegram and all these things, is that these people are just angry.
They're just angry all the time.
They're winning all the time.
They can't stop winning.
Oh, they can't stop winning, but meanwhile they're just like, oh, there's this drag queen story time that was happening at the library near my house, and my school, my daughter- They're very concerned about drag queen story time.
You're not wrong.
And the school my daughter goes to, there's one teacher there who's gay, and that's just, It just drives me up a wall.
And I don't know why Trump hasn't reinstalled himself as president.
I just read the 27th chapter of Devolution.
It looks like it's supposed to be happening, but it's not.
It's just for all the talk about being comfy and everything's great and we're totally winning.
It's like, no, you're all angry and sad.
That's the way you live your lives.
And it sucks.
It just absolutely sucks.
It's why, like I read, I read that all the time.
And then I have to read pep talks.
So many QAnon promoters exist only to be like, book up guys.
We're going to defeat the deep state any day now.
And God's going to shine his glory upon us.
It's going to be super duper when we win.
Don't you worry.
And it's like, What a sad life it is that you need to have a daily affirmation that your cult is going to prevail.
Yeah, it's just, you know what, I don't need someone telling me, don't worry this week, Mike, the Patriots are going to beat those nasty Steelers.
They're going to do it.
No, I know the Patriots suck.
I've resigned myself to a 6-11 season.
Yeah, it's like, it's okay.
I'm over it.
Like, I don't need that.
It's just like, it's such a, just such emptiness you have inside you where you just need someone to just pump you up every day and keep you going.
In your belief that James Comey is finally gonna testify that he's a bad person who needs to be executed for treason.
Any day now, Charlie Brown.
Any day.
Any day now.
Oh, God, you're gonna kick that football any day now.
Let me tell you.
Any day now.
That football's never gonna know what fucking hit it.
Yeah, I'm right.
Okay, well, I mean, yeah, that's all a whole bummer.
It's pretty hard to make funny.
Just like, hey, Cuban occult shit will get you killed.
But I feel like we did a serviceable job, and I'm doing an even better job of segwaying us out of it.
An incredible job.
You've never seen such a good job.
The height of professionalism!
He's going full Trump!
Anyway, let's talk about something that makes QAnon happy instead of talking about something that makes us sad.
Durham.
Nothing gets QAnon happier than Durham.
He's got the activated eyes and everything.
Mike, has Durham been activated this week?
Are we saying activated Durham?
Is it activated?
The New York Times is reporting that Durham is deactivating today.
Literally breaking like a couple of hours.
Dark Brandon has done it.
He's defeated activated Durham.
It appears to be that way.
Is this arc finally about to close?
The Active Durham arc?
Active Durham is the only way to really get grass stains out of your clothes.
Oh man, it's very... We should sell that.
It would make so much money from fucking skewing on clowns.
Oh, I saw it and I took it.
Oh man.
Yeah, so our boy Durham, who was supposed to save the world from the Deep State, and literally everyone's been blowing smoke up his ass and talking about how great he is, And ignoring the fact that the only case he brought to trial was laughed out of court.
I mean, it took almost no time for that jury to be like, we don't even know why we're here.
Mr. Sussman, go home to your family.
Never in a million years would we have thought of putting you in jail.
This was a farce.
So, while that's all happening, Durham has been He even Trump recently decided to like flip out and get totally pilled on Durham and was just like Durham's got to release his explosive report to like show us all what's really been going on over this fraudulent Russiagate and all the all this stuff that people have been saying about me that's so unfair and um
When push came to shove, it appears that Durham is only going to try the two cases that he had on the docket.
The first one that he lost that I talked about.
And he has another case coming up in a month or so where his star witness has literally said, by the way, I'm not testifying.
I am not going to be at this trial.
BT dubs.
So like, yeah, crushing it.
Yes.
So the, Their main, their main hope for this case is pretty much just, you know, uh, yeah, this guy's going to testify that this guy was obviously lying to the, like, I'm going to, this guy is going to prove that Denchenko was lying when he went to the FBI and said the things he said.
And the thing about this is if you get into the weeds of this actual case, nobody thought this guy was lying.
Like the FBI and everybody took Denchenko at his word.
Yeah, this guy says what he said.
He's a credible witness.
And then Durham out of nowhere was like, no, I've concocted this bullshit that proves this guy was cooking the books and was telling some fibs to the FBI.
And you know, I got my, um, I got my star witness, Sergei Millian, who's gonna come in and just bring the hammer down.
And now Sergei is just out there going, by the way, we'll not be there.
We'll not be a part of this case.
Catch you all later.
Have a good one.
So... I am not Ron Braverman.
I repeat, I am not Ron Braverman.
So it is possible.
I'm not going to say that it's likely, but it is possible that when you see a trial that you have very boring procedure stuff, after the prosecution presents their case, the defense will, as a formulaic thing, just say, we move to dismiss the charges and to drop the case right here.
And 99% of the time the judge says, fuck you, present your defense.
Well, this trial continues.
I think it's possible that the judge will be like, yep, you're right.
This case is dismissed right now.
The prosecution's case is so dog shit, their star witness didn't even show up.
They have not presented a case that I'm willing to give to a jury because the jury might fuck up and accidentally convict someone illegally.
So like... You went by default.
Default.
Default.
Yes.
You win because the prosecution was so bad you don't even have to present a defense.
They didn't even present an affirmative case for the crime.
Like, they just didn't even do it.
They couldn't even get there.
You know what they say, Mike.
The best defense is no defense.
Yes!
I've heard this.
Basically, what it looks like is going to happen is Durham is going to lose both court cases that he pursued.
No further indictments are going to happen.
He is going to write a quote-unquote report, which is going to be a bunch of bullshit.
That QAnon's going to get their jimmies all jostled about, but at the end of the day it's going to amount to absolutely nothing, and he will vanish to the wayside.
And the years and years of memes about Durham is coming and Durham Watch and Like, oh, it's all over for you, Deep State scum, because Durham's got the goods and Q promoting Durham constantly.
Did Durham have the goods?
Turns out he didn't.
Turns out not so much.
Durham, goodless.
He opened the cupboard.
Oh, God, there's nothing in there.
Those cupboards are totally bare.
Yeah.
So that guy.
This whole thing that they've invested so much into is now going to crash and burn so spectacularly.
What was really awesome was Kash Patel, our boy who we've been going over his book in our bonus content, The Plot Against the King.
Cash literally posted a Durham Watch meme about an hour or so after the New York Times story broke about Durham wrapping up his investigation.
So even with reality pouring cold water on them, they're still trying to squeeze what juice they can out of the Durham Orange.
They're still like, come on, we can get a little more juice out of this.
Good luck, because it's going to be pretty dry in a moment.
There's not going to be anything left in a little bit, because our boy Durham is going to go out to pasture, and Hillary and Obama are still going to be free.
They get away again!
How do they keep getting away?
It's so unfair!
Yeah, truly, she's their Snidely Whiplash.
Who's Mutley?
Uh, Durham.
I don't know.
That doesn't make any sense at all!
I was going to say, I was going to say Huma.
I think she's kind of like, properly power leveled for that fit.
Wow.
Hu-muh-tly.
Am I right, guys?
Yes.
I mean, no matter how cool she is, though, she'll never be as great as everyone's favorite.
Ma-muh-t.
Yes.
Imagine if this mummy had a dog.
That was something that got pitched in a writer's room and made it into a cartoon that people like.
Yes.
Give that mummy a dog.
Sure did.
Speaking of dog mummies, it's time to talk about Donald Trump.
Yes.
There's no real best place to start here, I don't think, because Donald Trump is just a nonstop content creation machine.
So, Mike, I'll let you take the wheel.
Where do you want to start?
It's Trump Ahoy, baby!
Trump Ahoy!
Oh, yeah.
We are all aborting the S.S.
Trump.
I think we'll start with like the, uh, conspiracy theories in the, in the really real world with Trump at the moment where he mysteriously showed up in Washington DC, uh, wearing his golf clothes on the tarmac, like wearing golf shoes on concrete, which is kind of weird.
And people were like, is this a health issue?
Has he been indicted?
Why the fuck do you, like, how do you get plucked off the golf course, rushed to your
plane and don't even have like proper shoes to wear when you get off the plane?
Like how, how spur of the moment was this?
So that like- The fed showed up at the golf course to try to get his cell
phone.
So they got out of there most quick.
They were like, you can't confiscate what you can't catch.
Yes.
It's totally normal golf club meeting.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
And then after his arrival in DC and his golf clothes, we then had his totally not a mobster
meeting on the golf course where people with the, the long range cameras were recording
them and they were all on golf court, golf carts, and none of them had golf clubs.
So they were not golfing, but they were just like literally just on a hole at a golf course, just talking shop.
And, uh, the, the internet, which is undefeated and never sleeps was just like, they're all wearing polo shirts.
So it's hard to wear a wire.
And they're all on a, they're all in this area where there's no buildings.
There's no way to surveil them.
That's not these far ranging cameras.
So they can just talk shop on this green about whatever crimes they want to like try to, I don't know, obstruct the investigations into committed in the future, whatever's going on.
So yeah.
So basically.
Trump has his Sopranos meeting on the golf course that we'll be seeing in a movie in 20 years about like whatever the fucking, whatever fucking scam it is he's trying to run here.
So we have all of this stuff happening in the real world where again, weird flight into DC unannounced, hanging out at the golf club, not playing golf to talk to all your bros about the non crimes that you're not committing.
And then after that's all done, Trump got back to his whatever hidey hole he's living in now and decided to get on his little phone and start tweeting because our boy decided that it was time to just fully wrap his hands around QAnon in the warmest of embraces.
And he went on another massive truth storm, which I guess is what we call these instead of tweet storms.
And this time, he was just endlessly retweeting or retruthing all the shit that QAnon was posting.
And eventually he posted Again, because truth is so clunky, it's really hard to delineate exactly if he specifically grabbed this screenshot or not.
But it's in his timeline, and no one told him.
Hey, Donald, pull that down.
Unretruth that.
The big thing that happened was, it's a meme.
It's Donald Trump looking all presidential and swaggery as best you can do with his blobby, shitty hair itself.
And in front of Trump it says, the storm is coming, with the Game of Thrones font in the O's.
And under the storm is coming is the WWG1, WGA.
And on Trump's lapel, on one side he has the American flag pin, and on the other lapel he has a Q.
So like this being on Trump's timeline, just all the QAnon slogans, Trump wearing a Q pin and Trump reposting it.
QAnon's just like, we did it!
Trump confirms Q is real.
Yeah.
It's like having a milkshake in your yard.
I mean, you got to expect the boys to arrive.
Oh, all the boys are coming to that yard.
Let me tell you.
Oh man.
This is, this is the milkshake, the ultimate milkshake.
Yeah, and the QAnon crowd, they're drinking it up.
Yes.
Look at how this reference evolves over time.
Oh, I was right there.
God, I was... Are there any agents listening that would like to get me out of this tiny little podcast and into a position of actual fame?
Let me know.
I will I will cut this dead weight immediately.
These chumps. All of them. All of them.
Oh, man!
Mike, leave this part in.
I know you're going to be compelled to cut this part, but leave it in.
Oh, absolutely.
Your boy's got to shine.
Yes!
When people think of the Adventures in Hellworld podcast, they think of the mysterious Al as the Justin Timberlake to the rest of us being the usual NSYNC dead weight just holding you down.
They're just waiting for the Elle solo career to launch.
I'll just be hosting a game show or something.
That's my level.
I'll find my mic.
Nsync was actually famous for a while.
You guys are nothing.
We're only anything because of you.
The same way they were only anything because of Justin Timberlake.
We all owe our careers to Q. So it's nice that Donald Trump is confirming that that person really exists.
It is not building a Killdozer in the Australian Outback.
The best part is, at some point we're going to find his body decomposing inside of the Killdozer, because he's going to forget to take into account how hot it is in Australia, especially if you're enclosed in welded steel.
He'd be like, oh no, he built this cool killdozer and he never got to actually use it.
I love that he lost and then immediately fucked off to another country.
He was probably in Australia before the election.
He had thrown in the towel so aggressively.
He's like, well, I'm not going to win.
Might as well move to Australia.
Fuck all this.
He's like Carmen San Antonio.
He's the knockoff version of Carmen Santiago.
So, like, the other thing that I've been really enjoying is that QAnon has been... Again, Daddy giving them the tussle of the hair and the pinch of the cheek has sent them over the moon.
But the other thing that's been so awesome is watching them all, like, freak out and get very angry about the fact that they are referred to in the media as QAnon.
And they're like, oh, look at this dumb media calling us QAnon!
There's no such thing as QAnon!
Ha ha ha!
And if you don't understand this mental gymnastics, basically...
Q at one point, very late in QAnon's existence, I might add, was like, hey, wait a minute, QAnon's branding is kind of toxic.
People kind of hear the word QAnon and they're like, wow, that's those weird lunatics who like end up killing people and going off the deep end and having bad things happen to their families.
Maybe we shouldn't associate with that.
So Q posted a Q drop where he stated, and I quote, there is Q, there are Anons, there is no QAnon.
Yeah, disavow.
Yeah, so, disavow.
So, oh my god, you... So the media posts articles about QAnon because that's what it's called, that's the nomenclature for it, and that will never change, and then the people that believe in it are like, oh, this dumb media!
They think QAnon's real!
Ha ha ha!
Those idiots!
Those clowns!
And the best part about it is, is that so many of them directly parrot that Q drop.
And it's like, so what are you doing?
Like, you're telling me that this group of people that follows a guy named Q, and you are anonymous, literally anonymous people following Q, aka QAnon, you're parroting his direct quote from the thing he posted on the internet, and you're telling me this is wrong?
What do you want your group to be called?
Anons?
That doesn't make any sense.
Everyone's anonymous.
That's like the hacker, the hacktivist group was anonymous.
Like you don't get to be a non because everyone's that.
You got to have a tagline.
You got to have a calling card and that calling card is Q. And that's why.
And also Q himself was called Q Anon at the start because he was anonymous and he called himself Q.
So, like, you can't get away from this branding.
It's who you are.
Own your dumb, shitty name that's toxic.
Yeah, it's a dark branding.
Exactly.
Yeah, I mean, it's similar.
Like, even Tucker Carlson, back when he looked for QAnon, he said he couldn't find QAnon and kind of leaned into the whole, uh, there is no QAnon.
It's like, it's just such pedantic sour grapes.
Yeah, then he got back to his job as a referee in the WWE.
Took me a while to remember what the name referee was.
But yeah, I love the idea of just a good, fun QAnon.
They don't exist.
How bold.
I guess you can say whatever you want if you're preaching to the choir.
Yeah, oh yeah.
My favorite part about this is that this Q-drop was in October of 2020, so it's three years in the QAnon when Q was like, wait a minute, wait a minute, guys, guys.
Gotta do a rebrand here.
Gotta freshen, gotta tidy up the ship.
We got a few things we need to clean up.
He's like, guys, the media's calling us QAnon, and we're not going to take it.
No, we're not going to take it anymore.
Oh, QAnon hates Dee Snider so much.
Oh.
QAnon hates taking it.
They really do.
Yeah, they sure do.
They do love that song, but they do hate the fact that Dee Snider goes at them for being dumb pieces of shit.
It makes them very sad and mad.
Yeah, it's tough.
Sometimes you just you have to divorce the art from the artist.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
Harry Potter.
Yeah.
J.K.
Rowling and Dee Snider are exactly the same is what I'm saying.
Yes.
Wow.
I've always felt that way.
Careful, she'll write a book about you.
Yeah, she'll sour grapes me in a book.
A stupid podcaster whose brain is smooth and dumb said that I wasn't great and he was wrong.
He's for sure a pedophile.
Yeah.
Yeah, J.K.
Rowling, if you're suffering too much, give us your billions of dollars and we will suffer for you.
We will suffer with your immense wealth that no human being could ever spend.
Yeah, you can line up behind Elon Musk, who still owes me one million United States dollars, to stop talking about his mutilated penis, which I forgot to do for a couple of episodes, but it's back, baby!
Elon Musk's mutilated dick, one million United States dollars, I'll give you to stop talking about that.
Yes, this is extortion.
Call the cops.
I'm just kidding, it's a comedy bit!
This is a comedy show!
Oh, come on, Sarge, that wasn't the musical interlude, it was... Yeah, well, I gotta save the actual Phantom Sting, otherwise it'll get played out, but it'll make it back.
Uh, and now you're just going to be conditioned to be thinking, you're going to be like, oh my god, is he going to do it during this episode?
Maybe during the sticker at the end?
Who knows?
Anything's possible.
Yes.
It's like a Marvel show.
Anyway, do we want to get into our listener questions?
Let's do it.
That's a thing we can do.
Our listeners got questions, we got answers.
It's time for Q&A.
DR initially asks, how often have the QAnon adherents invoked Hillary's emails on her server in her place while ignoring actual documents in a box in Trump's closet?
Unlimited.
Yes.
The answer is beyond the human mind's ability to comprehend.
Turn that 8 sideways, friend.
90 degrees, that 8.
Yes!
Are we gonna do bonus content?
Watch my son Hunter?
I don't know that I want to because I'm sure that movie is unbelievably bad and hopefully it won't even make it into the Zeitgeist.
I mean that does sound like a quality thing to force us to watch the next time we do one of our Beautiful or Baby drives for our Patreon.
We could bring back Dustoff Bendworthy and watch My son, Hunter.
Yeah, we can live on in crossover episodes that don't really count as crossover episodes anymore because it's really just special guests, the corpse of a show that used to exist.
I think we're at like 74 patrons, Patreon supporters.
So if we get to like 90, we will watch my son Hunter, I guess.
Dude, why are you shooting so low?
Let's just go for the full hundo.
I was going to shoot even lower.
I was going to go that low road, leave the high road to you guys.
More room for me down here and go 80 if we hit 80.
Boo!
No, I'm not watching that shitty movie for eight more people.
Yeah, that doesn't seem like, that doesn't seem like some positive A, B. I mean, are we, are we talking about?
Are we just talking about doughnuts?
You know what?
I'm sure this is not entertaining to the listeners.
We'll finish this podcast.
That's enough of a tease.
So there's your tease.
Tease over.
Anyway, the answer to the question is definitive.
They love talking about Hillary's emails.
To the point where Hillary got in on the act and started just selling merch that says about her emails.
Yeah, they'll bring up Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop and And honestly, that's the way everybody should kill these things.
It was like, when Obama killed Thanks Obama, like, I really appreciate Hillary Clinton's attempt at killing it by just leading it to the skid.
Like, Hunter Biden should come up with a line of laptops.
Like, partner with Razer Gaming to create the Hunter Biden series, like, you know, next hottest gaming laptop.
Let's fucking go.
I literally don't know where Hunter Biden is.
And I'm only bringing that up because I always knew where all of Trump's fucking kids were at all times.
Several of them worked in the White House.
That's because they were always suckling on his teats like he was some sort of grand fair winning hog.
Like that ancient statue of the wolf mother with Romulus and Remus.
All his awful children just attached to the teats on his side.
Yeah, there we go.
Let's ruin Rome for everybody.
If you know, you know.
But, like, that's the thing.
Like, without doing some amount of research, I couldn't tell you where Hunter Biden is or what he's doing right now.
He's pairing with Alienware to create a sick new line of fucking speedy-ass laptops for you to run the new COD on.
I still know where most of Trump's awful children are.
Dude, and that laptop is going to be filled with CP.
Cheat protection.
Play your game without even having to worry about cheaters at all with our patented ultraviolet-free CP.
It'd be so amazing if Hunter Biden was just actually a huge pizza enthusiast, and like in his off time he's just been making pizza recipes, making a cookbook for pizza.
It's just filled with his... I need to get that laptop back.
It's got my pizza cookbook on it.
It's just filled with nothing but pizza.
He's busy opening his restaurant, Comet Ping Pong 2.
Oh, good!
That's it.
A hundred.
You want more Satanism?
Yes, a hundred, buddy.
It's probably too much work for you to get the laptop deal, but just open another comic.
Open another comic at Ping Pong.
Just do it.
You become the franchisee.
Huge bunch of room in the basement.
Yes!
Massive basement.
Oh, this is the greatest thing in the history of the universe.
What I'm saying is lean into the schedule, clowns.
Right, right.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, protest a little less.
It'll be nice.
Right.
The thing about Hillary's emails is that they were a core part of the QAnon mythos.
Because as we saw in Q, the plan to save the world, the whole idea was that all the emails and text messages the bad guys had sent were on the NSA's databases.
And all that needed to happen for the tables to be turned on them was for a good person to win the presidency.
And that good person was Donald Trump.
And boom!
Game over, Deep State.
Game over.
Because Donald Trump's got all your dirt now, thanks to the NSA.
And then, shockingly, nothing ever happened.
So weird.
More than anything, the QAnon people, they need to just stop being so greedy.
The Clinton email thing, it already worked.
It did its job.
Stop demanding more of it.
Just acknowledge that it did its job and that the job is over.
It got Trump in the White House.
Because we brought up those fucking emails that multiple legal experts are just like, yeah, it wasn't good.
But like we investigated and nothing.
It doesn't matter.
Right?
Like, Well, if they investigated, Sarge, you should have been investigating.
You need to do your own research.
I'm far too trusting, even to this day.
Do the search!
You dough-eyed knave, Sarge.
Oh my god.
So, thank you for the question.
Mebat asks, since Ukraine had a successful offensive, what are the over-under on high-level Russians having accidents involving windows?
100%!
Again, you take that 8 and you turn that 90 degrees because it's already happening, friend.
One guy fell into the ocean and then some Russian political board, I don't know how high up they are, they were like, we want Putin to stand down and Putin was like, you, judge.
They didn't all get killed, but he was just like, uh... They didn't all get killed yet.
They're all going to be having a strategy political meeting on a boat that's going to sink under mysterious circumstances.
Yeah, it's real fucking slippery in Russia right now.
We're coming into winter.
I wouldn't stand near the ocean or windows if I were anyone talking about Putin.
Yeah.
I mean, I can't be the only person who, I mean, at this point with the Ukraine paddling Russian ass for a little while, I start to ask the question, when is Russia going to start fighting itself?
When is it coming?
Is it coming?
It just seems like if their leadership continues to be a complete fucking disaster that just keeps stacking up like 100,000 or more Russian soldiers, then for no reason, in fact, for losses, It seems like maybe Putin might get ousted one way or the other.
It'll be exciting to see.
You think we got a Russian Civil War on our hands?
I don't think it's quite that bad yet, but I could see a world where these big losses in Ukraine are the start of something.
It really depends on whether or not they can get out of it with saving any sort of face or if Putin is just like too
stubborn to ever get out of it and he's just gonna He's like, yeah, even if it's Pyrrhic victory, it's still
victory. I mean, yes it's so weird all the kids that they took and relocated to
Russia and Putin put in place a policy that if you have
10 or more kids you get a bonus $16,000 if you can prove that you've had 10 or more kids
like What the fuck's going on in Russia?
Yeah, this counter offensive by Ukraine has devastated the lines so incredibly, like every person I follow Twitter military postings, and everyone's just like, they're taking so much territory.
It's like really hard to wrap your head around how dominant Ukraine has been.
And the funny thing is, I'm reading this from all these other sources, and QAnon, generally speaking, they follow the media, they have their spin, they have their take on things.
QAnon is totally silent on the fact that Ukraine is destroying Russia right now, because they can't talk about this.
Like, Putin is basically Russian Trump.
He's one of their biggest heroes.
A lot of times he's even a bigger hero than Trump is.
And the idea that and this isn't something where you can like complain that the election was stolen or that the truth is going to come out later or they said their thing is like no Russia's just losing they're getting smashed and The problem with that is the other side of it is the Deep State is winning.
We have objective proof that the Deep State... QAnon created this narrative.
Ukraine is the very beating heart of the Deep State.
All their money laundering, all their child trafficking, the biolabs they cooked up COVID in exist in Ukraine.
Literally, Ukraine is the linchpin to the Deep State's global tyranny upon Earth.
Only because it's in the news right now.
They have the attention span of gnats.
Oh yeah, all of that's fucking true, of course.
We've talked about it, but it's the linchpin because it's what's in the news right now, and it's the light that's on the TV or their phone screens, so they recognize it.
But, man, I don't know, we'll have to do a deep dive Russia roundup at some point.
While I was in the United States Army, Russia's military was kind of revered.
We really, like, anyone else who's a veteran, chime in, send us a message, but 2006, 2010, We didn't want to fight Russia, especially not in a ground war, and we just didn't want to get into, like, no one wants nukes, but we just didn't want to fight a war with them, and they're losing consistently to their plucky younger brother, and I know Russia has some amount of an air force, and they can't deploy their navy, obviously, but
Like, someone somewhere, either they have no fuel or something, they're just told if you bring in jets, like, NATO will come in with jets.
I just don't understand what's happening.
Like, just with air superiority, they should be crushing it.
It's incredible what a paper tiger Russia was.
It feels like Putin vastly overstated what Russian military might was for this war, and now it's biting him in the ass super bad.
Maybe he was genuinely just hoping that they would roll over.
Like, there would be, like, a defensive for, like, a week, and they'd just be like, oh no, it's Russia, cheese it!
And they'd, like, close up shop.
And when they did, like, Putin's sitting there, he's holding his 7-2 off, and he's just like, oh no.
What have I done?
What do you mean you're all in?
Oh no!
Oh no!
Excuse me, did you just say that you call?
This is what I call very bad.
This is very bad.
I'm paying you with this all of the money.
World's Greatest Accent.
Shout out to the show.
The best part about that was after the first take, Matt Damon was just staring at him like, what the fuck are you doing?
And he just pulled him in and said to Matt Damon, I'm a horrible actor.
Just roll with it.
I don't even know what I'm doing with this fucking accent.
But I'm John Malkovich.
Just accept it.
It's OK.
We're all good.
Somehow still the best movie about poker.
Yeah.
Like what?
I mean, this is after poker had like a boom.
Yeah, poker was like a popular thing for like five years.
It's still like people are like, oh, Molly's gay.
But I'm just like, did you actually watch that movie?
Oh, man, a punching a wall at how bad the poker was in that movie.
I'm trying to think of another like dedicated poker movie.
They obviously they play quite a bit in Maverick, but like that's Old West poker.
Yeah.
There was a movie that was like Texas Hold'em based and it involved like a father and a son like having a problem with each other and I.
I can't even remember the name of it.
Maybe someone will tell me, but apparently the final scene, or the big payoff scene, is the kid has aces and his dad has kings, and they get all in, and the dad shows them the kings, and his son is like, you're good, dad, and just mucks the aces face down and doesn't show, and just lets his dad beat him.
And I'm like, the World Series has hole cards.
That would have been the biggest scandal in the history of the world that his son threw to his dad.
They both would have been disqualified of no prize money.
That's not how that would have worked.
Oh my god.
So yeah, it's just, it was just super funny that like, no matter what, it's like, yo guys, if you're gonna make a poker movie, just grab Daniel Negreanu or Phil Hellmuth, tell them they get like two minutes of screen time, they get to go over the script, you pay them a few bucks, they're all whores for the camera, they'll do it.
I mean, I'm sure they do, I'm sure they could do that if they wanted to, but they have to keep things, you know, spicy and more, you know, Cinematic or whatever.
Poker's not very cinematic so if you're looking for something cinematic maybe just try another thing.
Well, it's like whenever they make a movie about hacking or have hacking in a movie.
Oh God!
Yeah, hacking is boring.
But the difference is hacking just takes a long time, too.
Like poker, you could just explain the rules of poker to somebody and get poker being played on screen inside of five minutes.
But you can only make flipping over two cards so dramatic.
After that, it just becomes tight shots on people's faces and someone trying to suss out whether they're bluffing.
Oh yeah.
If you want that, there's an anime, I believe it's called Kaiji, and it's just about fucking bluffing and betting and shit, so there you go.
We should, uh, the guy who does JoJo should do a poker thing.
Because at the very least they'd be staring at each other in incredible poses or whatever, like all extra, everything, like extra heightened sense of theatricality.
There is a poker fight in JoJo at one point.
The guy's stand is, I don't remember the name of his stand, but if he beats you, he puts your soul on a poker chip.
But if he beats you in something, something poker.
Yeah.
JoJo loves you so hard that his brain breaks.
So, thank you for the question that we took on a totally different tangent, as is our way.
Well, the problem is our first two questions have been like, hey, how likely is it the thing happens?
And we're just like, literally guaranteed.
Like, guaranteed because it's happening right now, so.
So our next question is from Cleodora Silvestri, warming up next to the NFT fire.
So yes, Cleodora seems to hate crypto and NFTs a lot.
So she asks... Yeah, as any sane person should.
Yes.
With the Queen of England just passed away, when do you predict the Queen of Canada and the world apparently will ascend to the British throne to replace her?
I sneakily knew that this question was coming up, which is why I didn't do any Queen talk in our news segment, because I'm sure some people listening are just like, wow, they're just going to not talk about the Queen of England dying?
And, you know, we'll touch on it, if only because, man, how, how fired up, how fired up must Donald Trump have been to get a little, a little, a little heat off of all of his crimes for like, he's like, holy shit, for at least a full week.
Like nobody, like, like this is going to dominate the headlines.
I don't have to, I don't have to deal with some shit.
Get my name out of the headlines for a right minute, please.
Thanks, Queen.
Way to go, you colonizer.
On your way out, all you did was make Donald Trump's life easier.
Boo!
Boo!
Congratulations, I'm sure you did a bunch of nice things for people, and a lot of people really liked you, so yay.
Rest in peace technical literal queen.
Yeah.
I guess.
I don't know.
I have no opinion on the matter.
I don't care about the royal family.
Anyway, back to the question.
Yeah.
I don't know when the Queen of Canada will declare herself Queen of England as one of the protectorates of her Queen of the Earthdom.
What I do know is that QAnon was very happy the Queen died.
The Queen was one of their mortal enemies.
Finally, Q-Team got around to assassinating her at the tender age of 96, because nobody dies at the age of 96 of natural causes, obviously.
And I've seen QAnon promoters talking about how the death of the Queen is going to accelerate things, and things are going to heat up real quick, and before you even know it, before you even blink your eyes, Donald Trump's going to be back in the White House, because that's what we were waiting on.
The ceremonial figurehead of the British government who has no real power, her dying, and then the crown being bestowed to one of her children, as the monarchy has done for fucking forever.
And the monarchy remaining totally in power, nothing really changing at all.
The institution remains strong.
Charles has said he's going to serve his king until he dies.
He's not going to resign the crown.
Yeah.
So yeah, we did it!
We're winning!
Even though, yeah, we still have a monarch and it's just different from the previous monarch.
And if you listen to David Icke, they're all lizard people and all that good stuff.
But yeah, we did it.
We did it, everybody.
We toppled the Queen.
Only took us 96 years, but we finally got the job done.
Do you suppose they sent Ninja to do it?
He seems like he'd be pretty good at assassinating.
What did Ninja do to you?
We've gone over 100 episodes, we haven't mentioned.
Ninja Blevins once, and now twice in an episode.
I have still never mentioned him.
For the record, I am talking about a ninja, a practitioner of the ninjutsu arts, and or the actual way to pluralize the word ninja, as in to mean multiple ninja practitioners of the ninjutsu arts.
You're just a big fan of Insane Clown Posse?
Refer to everyone as my ninja?
Nope, don't like that either.
I'm talking about the Japanese assassin warriors.
Don't like that either.
I don't know who you're talking about and I've never even played Fortnite.
So... Never even heard of it.
Yeah, never heard of Fortnite in my life.
Nope.
I'm talking about a completely different, like, assassin guy who just happens to floss.
Assassin guy?
R.O.C.
don't steal, assassin guy.
I was enjoying Sarge's callback to our early days where Sarge attempts to get L to say something racist.
I thought that was really spicy, bringing up the... Yeah, the racist throws.
Yeah, the racist throw.
Hey, it's not my fault ICP loves saying ninja.
Like, they legit do.
It's an arrow in our quiver, just like the no end.
It's what makes us best.
It's what elevates our comedy above.
Yeah, because it's like a tightrope walk because, boy howdy, if somebody ever does the racism throw, the other person does a yes and.
Woo!
Yeah, that's gonna be... Adventure's a cancel world.
Yes.
So, yes, the Queen is dead.
We don't know if we're going to have a new Queen.
We do have a King, though, so that's what's going on.
Thank you for the question.
I mean, but honestly, but like she already declared herself Queen of Earth.
Does that not include all parts of Earth?
Well, I mean, I'm just wondering if like she if she's going to like actually try to explain how her her claim to the British crown was stronger than that of Charles's.
That's going to be hard for her to get to the UK in Winnebago or whatever.
Yup.
So, I mean, I feel like they're probably safe.
Seems likely.
I don't know if she's allowed to fly on planes, the Queen of Canada.
I kinda doubt she is.
She's got too many sardines with her.
I feel like our new king can continue to be annoyed that his people on hand are not removing the stuff from his desk fast enough.
Our new king ninja?
Yes.
No, the ninja is the one who killed the queen and then did a flossing dance on top of the bus.
He didn't teabag, that's not respectful.
That's Halo.
A game I do know about.
That's Halo Combat Evolved.
The evolution was being able to teabag your opponents.
Yes, thank God for that.
So Leech from BX says, how can whoever Q is resist posting again now that Trump is re-truthing the shit out of Q content?
It doesn't make any sense if the motivation is any sort of grift.
I think the main reason why Q isn't posting is because when basically on the last thing Q posted on 8kun got dunked on so viciously because Jim basically admitted it was him that was posting it.
You have to deal with those like two universes.
You have to deal with the way 8kun reacts to Q drops and the way QAnon reacts to Q drops.
So it's like when Q posts something, if you're Jim Watkins and you type up your Q drop and you hit send, You're not going to get showered with adulation and praise.
You're not going to have people going, Oh, Q, you fucking hit him.
Deep State going down.
Oh, you did it.
You're so good.
What you're going to get is a bunch of chantrels being like, Oh, Jim, posting his Q again.
Huh, Jim?
Yeah.
Oh, great Jim drop here.
This fucking excellent work, Jim.
So like all the positive feedback, all the affirmation you're looking to get from like writing this kind of shit, you're getting the opposite of that when you do it on 8chan.
You're getting absolutely slammed.
You're just getting dunked on by everybody.
Everyone's just laughing at you.
So I really feel like in order for Jim to want to keep doing this shit, Like, QAnon promoters would have to pay him.
Like, Praying Medic, Sather, Martin Geddes, QAnon John, all of these clowns, all the people that run WeTheMedia, they would have to be like, Jim would have to be like, look, I'll keep doing Q drops, but I want, like, $2,000 a drop or whatever, something like that.
He would have to come out with a price point that would make getting slammed on AidKun worth his time, because...
Because he's basically making content for other people to use to promote their brands, and all he gets from that content is, Oh, Jim, you fucking moron!
You suck!
You loser!
You piece of shit!
And it's like, imagine being a comedian telling jokes to a crowd that's just heckling you, and then other comedians steal your jokes and they get laughs.
I mean, that would drive me out of my mind.
that like I can only perform for one audience and that audience hates me
but other people take my material and take it to other audiences and they just kill.
They just absolutely crush. They're just doing so great with the shit I'm writing.
But when I write it, I'm a bum.
Okay, yeah, thanks for the question. We got anything left of that old mailbag?
We had a stealth question that was snuck in here, because I think someone replied to a replier and not directly to the thread.
So bonus question from Reverend Xenofact is, the Q cultists will almost certainly be claiming fraud before the midterms even happen.
So do you think they'll invent new conspiracy theories, recycle old ones, or a mix?
Old ones?
Yes.
Oh yeah, again, turning the 8 sideways.
All of the above will happen.
D&D, all of the above.
Wow, these questions have been so easy to answer this week.
Yeah.
I mean, the thing is that you've got to come up with new, fresh stuff in order to keep people going.
Because if you just say the old stuff, people have heard it.
It's not really that exciting.
What's really funny is...
All of our friends from the 2000 Mules shitfest have been stepping on rakes brutally this past week or so.
Dinesh D'Souza's book, which was supposed to be just riffing off of the movie, it got pulled at the 11th hour.
Dinesh claimed it was some sort of error with the publishing.
But it turns out what actually happened was Dinesh actually named non-profit organizations as being the stash houses for the ballots for the mules.
And when a real lawyer saw that, they were like, we cannot fucking publish this book.
We will get sued.
So the book was not published.
People have actually found copies of the book.
And for some reason, they're like hiding the list of non-profits that got named.
Like it was the Colonel's Herbs and Spices.
It's like, come on, let us know who Dinesh wanted to get sued by.
Help us out a little.
That'd be hilarious.
And on top of that, so this book is based off the movie and the movie is based off the evidence that True The Vote gave Dinesh.
And then when the book came out, naming seven non-profits as being actual criminals who've committed crimes, someone went to True the Vote and was like, yo, True the Vote, what do you have to say about this?
And True the Vote was like, we have no opinion on those non-profits.
The book was written by Dinesh D'Souza.
It is Dinesh's words only.
We, True the Vote, disavow the book 2,000 Mules.
Just a touch libelous.
Yes, just a touch libelous.
We're not going to get anywhere near it.
Fuck Dinesh for writing that shit.
We have nothing to say.
However, what did happen was when True the Vote had their The Pit Summit meeting where they slandered and libeled Kinect, the software service for election systems, Kinect has now filed a lawsuit against True the Vote, and they deserve to, and fuck True the Vote.
Dinesh gets his book pulled and even Truth or Vote is distancing themselves from him.
And Truth or Vote is getting themselves sued for their fucking lies about a company that doesn't even count votes.
So everyone's losing and I'm so happy to hear it.
So yeah, fuck all those people.
Well done.
Well said.
Fuck them.
Fuck them and their stupid asses.
To quote, I think, a Kevin Smith movie.
It's hard to remember.
I think that's a chance I'll quote.
That sounds right.
I mean, that's a line he would say.
Yes.
So finally, what are you guys looking forward to?
Hoobadooba.
I've been trying to think about this.
Don't have a lot on the plate.
I, like Elle, last week am looking forward to it not being so goddamn hot all the time.
I'll steal Elle's from last week because it's actually here where I am starting to cool off this week.
It was not last week.
So the cessation of being cooked alive every time I walk out my front door.
Nice.
The onset of fall is something to look forward to.
Coincidentally, I'm looking forward to being able to leave my recording station to turn on my air conditioning, because while it's only about 80 degrees outside right now, it's been insanely, incredibly fucking humid the past few days.
So I'm sitting here, I've got the fan on, I'm still sweating sacks, so it's AC time.
Let's do our part to reduce the life of the planet for a little bit by cranking that AC.
I can control my AC from my phone.
That's nice.
I can't because I live in a place where I need a window unit AC and I did not spring for one that I could pair with my phone.
And I'm looking forward to ending this podcast so I can play more storybook brawl, because I'm addicted, thanks to Elle getting me into this game that Sarge referenced on the sly previously.
I also queued it up.
I've been curious about it.
Yeah, guys, let's all stop talking about the fucking podcast and play storybook brawl.
Fair.
I'll turn on my AC and switch over to my laundry, come upstairs and brawl.
You guys can brawl.
We can brawl.
We can all brawl.
We can be the brawler in the family.
Yes.
Anyway, best of luck to you, Mike.
Start climbing that ladder.
I'm a knight already.
I have over a thousand points.
I'm doing very well.
My god, what an absolute unit you are.
So make sure to catch Mike Rains going pro at Storybook Brawl any moment now.
Oh, any day now.
Any day now.
I might actually win an event, which I have yet to do.
I have yet to actually finish first.
