	Content Warning.
	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, aka Poker and Politics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
	I am joined, as always, by Sarge.
	In the grim darkness of the podcasting future, there is only ye.
	We only talk about ye.
	And the mysterious El.
	Wah!
	It's-a me!
	El!
	It's War-el.
	War-el.
	I guess, yeah, like, Wa-wa-wa-wa-ruigi, with the, like, the Japanese spelling.
	Stumbled all over that one.
	Oh, God.
	Yeah, I mean, it's tough, because Waluigi barely works anyway.
	Yeah.
	It is right on the edge of comparability.
	But he does have the L there.
	Also, this is a fun sort of sticky wicket to start the podcast with.
	Let's make sure everyone knows exactly how awkward the show is going to be.
	I feel like there's a lot of context involved with the L-R switch when you're talking about, like, the phonetic... the way that is pronou... like, specifically for me, Japanese words are pronounced.
	Right.
	Because, like, sometimes when you just, like, go to Google a thing, and you're just like, what's the phonetic pronunciation?
	Like, what the hell?
	How do you pronounce this?
	But they give it to you.
	It's like, you know, it's got the R's in it, because the L sound just doesn't exist in Japanese.
	Which is funny, because growing up, I just always assumed it was a racist thing, and I was just like, I'm never gonna say or do any of that stuff.
	But now later in life, I'm just like, ah, like most things, there's like a nuance to it, and a lot of it has to do with context.
	Yeah.
	It's like when... God.
	There's a rollercoaster out here called the Orient Express, and I was like, ooh, is that okay?
	And if you use it to describe the region, the internet seems to think it's okay.
	But if you use it to describe a person, then it's bad.
	And I was like, okay, noted.
	That's cool, but I'm still going to avoid that one, just because it seems bad in the mouth.
	I mean, it's the same as, like, the other word for the Romany people.
	I thought it was kind of neutral, and a lot of people have feelings that it's not neutral.
	It's very bad.
	And so, you know, for the most part, I just avoid it.
	But context matters in a lot of these things.
	I do notice that I have properly trained my brain to eliminate that slur.
	Because now when I listen to old music and it comes up, I like bristle at it.
	That's how you know it's sticking.
	That's how you know that you've conditioned yourself properly.
	Because I'll just be listening to an old bop and they'll just use the G word and I'll be like, what?
	No!
	Ah, cishet white men trying to navigate the mores of wokeness.
	Boy, if you liked the Abu's Booshes as a segment of the show, get ready for that one.
	I'm thinking of a sippy day for that one.
	Trying not to be racist in 2022.
	Yeah.
	It's tough.
	I mean, it's like, it should be, it should be a slam dunk.
	Like, when you think about it, you're just like, yeah, obviously just don't be racist.
	But it turns out that when society has like ingrained so much racism, like even in our language, it's like every once in a while, I'll say a thing and I'll be like, wait a minute.
	Was that super racist?
	To just have a panic attack and then have to look it up on the internet?
	We had this conversation about the phrase, calling a spade a spade, and we're like, man, that feels like it's secretly racist.
	And we looked it up.
	Good news, it's not.
	That was something that we, uh, that was me and Mike, uh, back in the day.
	Uh, you know, we, one of our buddies, that didn't come up for us, but one of our buddies who was a teacher, like, like, looked it up and sent us a message.
	It was just like, hey, like, as far as I can tell, this comes from a Greek saying.
	And like, not Greeks being racist against Africans either.
	just talking about like hey if something is a shovel you should just call it a shovel
	it's like yes oh thank good yeah it was like uh It's like the New England expression for sprinkles on ice cream that we had to dig into to see if that was okay or not.
	And not even just us, the Boston Globe or whatever did an investigation into that.
	And by all accounts, it seems like it's safe.
	But when I go up to the ice cream counter and say, let me get an ice cream, and they're just like, do you want Jimmy's?
	I don't!
	I would like some sprinkles, please.
	I would like sprinkles.
	But yeah, that's one of the ones where it doesn't cause me to bristle anymore, because as far as I can tell, actual investigative reporting was done to look into its origins, and it seems like it's clean.
	A newspaper took the ball and ran with it, and maybe they were just lying to keep Big Jimmy off their back or whatever.
	Big Jimmies, I guess.
	Big Jimmy sounds like a mobster.
	Big Jimmies is the industry.
	If you ever follow Big Jimmy's, they'll send Big Jimmy to your house.
	Yes!
	And Big Jimmy is incredibly white.
	He's just the whitest possible guy.
	He's just huge.
	He's a massive white, like, Italian guy.
	His name's like Jimmy Costriogo or something like that.
	You're just like, oh god, I could never confuse you for anything other than a white Italian.
	He's like, Don Tootin!
	Don't you be messing with my Jimmy's kid!
	Yeah, Big Jimmy.
	The latest in a long line of incredible Adventures in Hellworld characters.
	Okay, that seems like enough runway for us to get into our amuse-bouche!
	It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
	Get ready for the amuse-bouche!
	All right, so let's go ahead and start with a couple of big whiffed handshakes, which is sort of breaking.
	I mean, this is, this is like the- I don't know shit about this.
	Of the past, like, 24 hours.
	Well, I hope Mike does, because, like, I had only heard about it on the breeze.
	It seems like a sort of thing to be brought up, because people of note are refusing to shake the hands of other people of note, and that sounds like the petty shit that we discussed on Anaboose Boosh.
	So Mike, what's going on with the handshake that didn't happen around the world?
	Yeah, so the, uh, basically medals and awards were being given out to the families and the police officers that, uh, like, stood their ground trying to fight back the protesters on January 6th, and when these folks, uh, got to- Woah, woah, woah, I'm gonna stop you there.
	The what's on January 6th?
	Excuse me?
	Did you call them protesters?
	Insurrectionists.
	Patriots.
	Rioters.
	Insurrectionists.
	Treason mongers.
	Treasonous dogs.
	Treason mongers!
	Yeah, that's a great term!
	Monger needs to be used a lot more often.
	Yeah, but certainly not protesters.
	I feel like protesters are sort of giving them the benefit of the doubt.
	They get no doubt.
	Well, they get no benefit.
	They get strong doubt.
	They're huge fans of No Doubt.
	Yeah.
	So, uh, anyhow, uh, so the, these are the congressional gold medal ceremonies and.
	Basically, they shook hands with Schumer and thanked him for the presentation, and then they walked right past McConnell and McCarthy.
	They were just like, yeah, you guys can go fuck right off because we know you were implicit in this because you fucking were.
	So yeah, it was a pretty good way to give a fuck you to the Republicans, enabling this
	attempted coup on our country that led to the people, the representatives who were receiving
	these words on behalf of these people, who were beaten, assaulted, some of whom died
	in the aftermath.
	But they totally weren't killed on January 6th, so it doesn't count, according to all
	kinds of right-wing grifters and shitweasels that want to pretend that, again, this was
	just people walking around the Capitol.
	Nothing bad happened.
	And if anything violent did happen, it was those dumb QAnon people that were tricked into doing it by Antifa and the Deep State and all that good stuff.
	So yeah, this is...
	More chickens coming home to roost for the Republican Party, the party of Back the Blue, and all that stuff.
	It's like, well, actually you didn't, and you know you don't.
	You're actually lawless pieces of shit, which we'll get into in the headlines later with our boy Donnie Two Scoops, but that's...
	You know, it was just nice to see these people receiving more of their Just Desserts for what they did and what, like, hopefully at some point will result in actual big boy crimes for like the, the big boys that did all this stuff.
	Cause, uh, uh, I don't know, Bob Brown, Jack Smith, uh, Tom, like Stevenson, whatever his Mr. Boring name is that's coming for them now.
	It's coming to getcha!
	Our hero, our new Muller, our new Albinotti that's going to have a Superman cartoon drawn about him soon.
	Our new Big Jimmy.
	Yes, our new Big Jimmy.
	Working for Big Jimmy's.
	All of these things.
	Sometimes there's a level of disrespect that you just enjoy seeing.
	You can have righteous disrespect, and a few times when it crops up, it's very satisfying to see.
	It's like, yeah, I'm not gonna shake your hand.
	I'm gonna give you a fuck, nerd.
	Exactly!
	Yeah, it's like the lady who wore the t-shirt of a bunch of soldiers killed in Iraq and she got kicked out of Congress speaking.
	It's just like, this is the level of protest and pettiness that I want to see.
	Yeah, fuck you.
	You don't, like, I'm not going to be part of your photo op when you actively refuse to, or have impeded the prosecution of the people that killed my loved one.
	Fuck you.
	Fuck them.
	Fuck them indeed.
	That seems like a pretty good thing to go out on.
	Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.
	So from a botched handshake, or a whiffed handshake, to a slap on the wrist, a little bit of good news in our mooseboosh, although not as good as we would like.
	The Trump Organization has been brought up on some charges, and some punitive damages have been levied.
	Mike, what's going on with the Trump Organization?
	So the Trump Organization got convicted of 17 counts, because of course it had to be that fucking number, of various and sundry financial crimes.
	Wait, what does 17 mean?
	17 is the alphanumeric translation of Q, and the QAnon is obsessed with the number 17.
	Yeah.
	Are they?
	I mean, has this come up on this podcast before?
	Because, like, I'm not like... Yes.
	Oh, 17?
	Yeah.
	17?
	Yeah.
	I mean, like, like, literally, this is not a bit.
	Literally, I was just like, I thought 18 and 44 were the two stupid important numbers for these racists.
	They are, but 17 is the number for QAnon.
	They are obsessed with the number 17.
	If it ever pops up in anything, immediately they see it as a sign that they are being called out to.
	Oh, it tickles their smooth, smooth brains.
	Like, they get one ring every time the number 17 shows up.
	Yeah, basically the number 17 for QAnon is like boobs to like a teenage boy.
	It's just, like, they just gotta have it.
	They gotta see it.
	They're going on the internet scurrying around for the number 17 in the wild so they can just like freak out about it.
	That's so weird that it's never come up before.
	Yeah, not once.
	I love Mike Ryds.
	Mike is like actually a capsule.
	Yeah.
	I, yeah, this is, I mean, this is just, uh, this is something that's like just omnipresent in QAnon.
	Like, uh, immediately after the conviction came out, someone was just like, 17 counts, lol, you're watching a movie.
	Like they, like literally if Donald Trump got convicted of 17 counts and was sentenced to like 170 years in prison, they would be like, oh, oh, those kidders.
	Oh, that wacky Trump.
	Oh, this is all totally a joke.
	And then Trump dies in prison 17 months later, and they're like, ah, I caught him again!
	Nope, nothing matters.
	All they want to see is 17.
	Oh, well, maybe that explains Matt Gaetz's pedophilia.
	Maybe he's just like, well, of course I love 17-year-old girls.
	I have to.
	Alleged.
	He hasn't been convicted yet.
	Yeah, I mean, I feel like we should... I feel like, well, he's never gonna get charged.
	I mean, let's be real.
	If he hasn't been charged by now, and he's also like... I remember the glorious days of our optimism where we were just like, well, he's not getting charged, he's probably rolling over on everybody because they got him dead to rights.
	Well, I mean, that must be the slowest rolling maneuver in the history of rolling.
	Because fucking nothing has happened.
	His buddy was convicted and sentenced already.
	Like, that he did everything with.
	He was literally convicted and sentenced.
	And the judge was just like, hey, we know that everyone wants to give this guy a slap on the wrist, but no, I'm actually throwing the book at this prick.
	Yeah, his buddy Joel Greenberg got 11 years, and that was kind of even higher than what the prosecution wanted.
	The judge is like, nope, fuck this guy.
	I'm hammering him.
	He's getting it, because he's done a lot of untoward shit, and there's no amount of cooperation that I'm going to deem sufficient for this guy not to do a good stretch of the club fed.
	So, yeah, fuck you, buddy.
	Well, we've got a little off-topic talking about the failings of our legal system.
	Well, we should be talking about the failings of our legal system.
	Because despite the Trump org getting found guilty on these 17 counts, what's the big boy damages for this multi-billion dollar organization or whatever?
	Drumroll, please!
	Nothing.
	One single million dollars.
	I think the number I saw badded about, maybe this is wrong, was literally 1.7 million dollars.
	It's like, that number has been sticking in my brain.
	It could not be, maybe it was 1.3 or whatever.
	My brain just turned at 1.7.
	But even when I thought it was 1.7 ahead of us recording this, so little did I acknowledge that 17 thing.
	It never even rated.
	I was like, I'm sitting there reading an article, 17 cow, it's 1.7 billion.
	I'm just like, yep, this is normal.
	These are just regular numbers.
	It's like fucking Alex Jones gets hit with one and a half billion.
	The Trump Organization gets hit with not even 2 million. Like, I like what's
	happening, Alex Jones, bang, spot on, we need to send a message. But like, these guys, the Trump Organization is a
	fucking literal shell company just used to launder money for
	the Trumps. They get caught, like handed the cookie jar could
	not be more red handed, like found guilty. And they're just like, I don't know, like 1% of what you have.
	That's not good, right?
	Oh, yeah.
	I hate that it has come to this, but I looked it up.
	It was $1.6 million in fines on 17 counts.
	Oh, thank God!
	I saw those two numbers close to one another, it just conflated one into the other.
	So, it was close.
	I mean, but, you know.
	But then Donald Trump went and he spoke to 88 press members and everybody lost their fucking shit.
	And then he went to stay in the room 23 and it was all wild.
	Yes!
	Michael Jordan showed up, he was like, no!
	Yeah, I just, this, from what I was reading is basically just sort of what a lot of
	people are hoping will be like a first step in the more tax evasion charges
	against actual members of the Trump family, potentially including Trump himself.
	But again, like getting your hopes up for the, the Trump family actually facing indictments.
	I mean, like God help you.
	It's just, it's just so ridiculously frustrating.
	Like just, Watching the wheels of justice grind as incredibly slowly and painfully as they have been.
	The Manhattan DA, the guy who is in this area, turned down the prosecution against Trump.
	Two of his lawyers resigned in protest of his decision not to go forward with the charges.
	I just, it's, it's super frustrating.
	Cause I mean, it feels like Trump will be indicted, but at the same time, I'm just in like a, I'll believe it when I see it mode, because I've just been jerked around so often on this shit where it's like, Oh, they got him now.
	Oh, Trump's going to go down for sure this time.
	And then like smash cut to, it just doesn't happen.
	And it's just like, yay.
	Like, eventually, eventually, I become blackmailed to the idea that this is going to happen.
	And it's like, okay, like, I know that he just got his ass kicked in the 11th District and that Judge Cannon's bullshit fucking, uh, like, attempt to prevent the documents from being observed has been removed and that, like, The documents case is now going forward again and all that stuff.
	Yeah.
	Grand juries are being impaneled.
	But at the same time, it's like, people have always talked about how QAnon's been edging for like five years over Hillary getting indicted or whatever.
	And like, that's like a total fantasy.
	Like, there's never been any forward momentum on any one of their enemies going down.
	But we're on the other side of it.
	And it's just like, oh, the grand juries!
	Oh, the evidence!
	Oh, nothing.
	They just.
	It's, it's just, you're just a hamster on a wheel being just like spinning around thinking you're going somewhere.
	It's like, no, you're actually not.
	It's just, I don't know.
	I kind of got to hope that like convictions of any sort are good and hopefully lead to more people flipping.
	That's what I want.
	But it's just like, it's like, it's just, it's just hard.
	It's just like, you're like believing this is the year the Detroit Lions are going to turn it around.
	They're going to do it.
	It's like, no, they're the Detroit Lions.
	They're never gonna do it.
	Plus, jokes on you, BlueAnonCux.
	T&Q got a little bit of their rocks off in the form of some absolutely salacious Twitter bombshells this week.
	Elon, daddy, he's spoon-feeding them the big boy stuff.
	So Mike, in the wake of the Twitter files, what have we learned?
	We have learned that apparently time travel was involved in this whole thing.
	Because everywhere you look, these people are screaming about how Biden violated the First Amendment.
	And I've actually seen people use the term the Biden administration when talking about the Twitter files.
	And the Twitter files are about the Hunter Biden laptop story that got spiked in the year 2020.
	In the lead up to the election.
	In the lead up to the election, which you might recall had Donald Trump as the incumbent president.
	There was no Biden administration at this time.
	There was a Trump administration.
	And Matt Talabibi in his Twitter files even noted that both the Biden campaign and the Trump administration asked Twitter to pull shit down.
	But he only went into details about what the Biden campaign was trying to get pulled down.
	They never talked about what the Trump administration was mad about and asked to have removed.
	Because that's the actual government talking to a fucking private company.
	And succeeded in having whatever they had removed.
	And succeeding in having stuff pulled down.
	That's actually where you're getting around the First Amendment.
	As I've pointed out on Twitter, Joe Biden at the time of that campaign was a private citizen.
	He held no office.
	He was just a dude running for president.
	The exact same way Trump was a private citizen when he ran for office in 2016.
	These people have no government power.
	They have no agency within our government to do anything.
	And, um, the other thing that was in the, in the Twitter threads is all the links that people went to, to see what the Biden campaign asked to have removed.
	It was mostly pictures of Hunter Biden's dick.
	That was pretty much it.
	It was just Hunter's massive hog.
	The Biden campaign was like, yo, this is, um.
	Non-consensual leaking of pornographic material of somebody.
	Please take it down.
	This fits the definition of revenge porn.
	Please remove it.
	So that's the quote-unquote First Amendment violation, which was a campaign run on behalf of a private citizen asked for photos of that private citizen's son's penis to be removed from the internet.
	That that guy did not, did not put up there himself.
	It was like, yo, I'm Hunter Biden!
	Check out my massive hog!
	I'm so well hung, it's ridiculous!
	Yeah, that private citizen wants to keep their privates private, baby.
	Yes!
	If I'm wrong, Hunter Biden, other than people putting him in the press, has not, like, I don't remember him making any statements.
	Like, no, he is the polar opposite of The Trump clowns, like, he's never, as far as I know, I don't even know if he's been in the White House.
	Yeah, he might have visited Pop Pop at the White House, but that's about it.
	I mean, yeah, he's not like Jared and Ivanka, who basically were working for daddy, thanks to nepotism and getting security clearances they weren't authorized to.
	Hunter Biden is just like, at this point, He's like Icarus.
	His dad flew too close to the sun and actually became president.
	So all of Hunter Biden's like stupidity in his life is being like gone over with a fine tooth comb to try to make dad look bad by comparison.
	And it's just like... Yeah, for the record, we, we here at Hellworld, if Hunter Biden has committed crimes, we want to see him prosecuted, investigated and prosecuted.
	But as of right now, like, He definitely has done drugs in the past, but no one seems to really want to go after him for that.
	And I think he's definitely admitted to visiting a sex worker.
	The Hunter Biden grand jury was mostly about back taxes, which he has paid off.
	And I read the stories about like, what would happen?
	Will Hunter Biden get indicted?
	And they said, like, one of the things like, you can indict somebody for failing to pay taxes, even if they've paid it back.
	But the problem is, is like, juries are really recalcitrant to like, send someone to jail when they've ponied up the cash for what they owed. Because it's just
	kind of like, this guy did the crime, but guess what? He's already, he's already received absolution
	for it. He's already made, he's already made restoration. And like the other charge
	was that he may have had an unlicensed gun at some point. And I saw that the Republicans desperately
	do not want anyone to start prosecuting for having an unlicensed gun, because that's a
	Pandora's box they cannot open.
	Yeah I actually saw an article that was like law Joe Biden pushed for might actually come back to bite Hunter Biden in the butt and it was just and people were like hey like if Again, if this was the case, if there's some sort of firearms charge that Hunter Biden could be exposed to, and he did it, fucking charge him.
	We don't care.
	I think it would only look good for Biden if his son was actually, like a law he passed, if his son was prosecuted under it and been like, he broke the law.
	He needs to face the consequences for it.
	Yeah, it's, it's ridiculous.
	So we, so Elon gave all the Twitter files directly to Matt Taibbi, his pet reporter.
	And he also, so I was seeing something that Elon clearly doesn't know that Uh, who Baker is, which was one of Trump's lawyers.
	Do I have this right?
	Uh, so Jim Baker was, uh, he was part of the FBI and he was one of the, he was basically one of the lawyers in Twitter that was like overseeing these, like these disclosures to the public.
	And then, um, Basically the lizard brains between Elon and Tlaiby and Barry Weiss.
	They were like, Oh my God, this guy, like we know him from the government and he's now like trying to like put his thumb on the scale on these papers.
	So Elon fired him, which was ridiculous.
	Cause one of the funniest things about all this is I saw QAnon and all these right wing people being like, Oh, this deep state lawyer, they got rid of him.
	Thank God.
	Now we're going to get the truth.
	Baker was actually the star witness against Michael Sussman at the Durham trial.
	Baker was the guy trying to say, oh no, Michael Sussman lied to me about the context of why he was visiting me with this information.
	Because that was the whole point of the Durham trial against Sussman was that Sussman wasn't telling the FBI that he was working on behalf of the Clinton campaign when he went to them with this information.
	And that was a material lie that Sussman should be convicted for.
	So, Baker is both a Deep State operative who was trying to undermine Elon, getting out the truth to the American public, and also was working hand-in-hand with Durham to try to bring down the Deep State.
	Yeah, it's definitely dumb, like, the Twitter files.
	And I noticed that the second set of Twitter files Well, the first set came out real slow because I think Elon realized that, uh, he could get fucking sued if he wasn't careful.
	And the second set that he has promised, uh, seems to be materializing even slower.
	The Twitter files part two was supposed to be the day after the Twitter files part one, and then it didn't happen.
	And now I think like TellyV posted a thing that was like Twitter files supplemental.
	And it's like, Welcome to your new job, idiot.
	You are the Twitter Files guy.
	That's all you're ever going to be for the next forever.
	It's just, hi, I'm the one, like, handing out the cherry-picked information Elon wants you to read about.
	And my favorite part of all of this shit is that I saw so many people in QAnon being like, oh god, Elon.
	Elon picking Matt Taleb to be his conduit is so good.
	I'm never going to get his name right.
	He doesn't deserve to get his name right, so fuck him.
	But the best part was they were just like, He's a left-wing legend.
	All the liberals love him.
	He's absolutely unimpeachable in their eyes.
	Him being the vector by which this truth is delivered will be devastating.
	And it's like, have you people followed this guy for the past four fucking years?
	He is one of the biggest Mr. Trump who I do not support shitweasels on the internet.
	Who just be like, no, no, no.
	What Trump said is unacceptable, but what you crazy liberals are trying to make it out to be is even worse.
	Like you critics of Trump are wrong about what you're doing.
	Now I don't support Trump, but, and weirdly enough, I only ever attack Trump's critics.
	I never actually attack Trump.
	only the people that are against him.
	But if you ask me if I support Trump, oh, of course I don't. I don't.
	Well, what should I possibly want to attack Donald Trump for?
	Let's find out as we transition into our glorious headlines segment.
	From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News.
	Well, here's a pretty good reason.
	Donald Trump is apparently sort of wishy-washy on the Constitution.
	Which, if you're a Republican, it seems like it should be a pretty big deal.
	Mike, get into the nitty and gritty of how badly Mr. Donald Trump hates the U.S.
	Constitution.
	So yeah, the Twitter files, uh, pilled Donald Trump because he is a giant dum-dum who like literally anything that he sees that makes anything that comes out that says the 2020 election was stolen from you, Donald, you done got screwed.
	Like he's just a moth to flame for that shit.
	So the moment the Twitter files came out, he was like freaking out and screaming and immediately.
	He got on Truth Social because no matter how much Elon wants him to post on Twitter, he's not gonna do it, and he began to piss and moan about how, this proves the election was stolen from me, this is bullshit, and like, we need to have a redo of the election, this, that, the other thing, and if the Constitution doesn't, like, have the provisions needed for fixing that, well then, you know, Chuck it out.
	Maybe we need to get rid of it.
	Yeah, maybe we need to just sort of be like, you know, if the Constitution can't handle this kind of stuff, then
	we need to go, we need to find other ways.
	We need to do other things.
	So yeah, the Constitution, no great shakes, because the Constitution let me lose that election.
	So how good could it be if it didn't save me, Donald Trump, from losing to Joe Biden?
	I mean, that's... It's such a crazy, casually wild-ass thing to say.
	Like, and I don't know if he's gonna get anywhere near enough splashback from saying it.
	It's definitely making headlines.
	It's got his name in the news.
	Like, it's keeping it there, but just saying... Biden, the not president, had his sons illegally posted Dick pics taken off of Twitter, so that means I should be president throughout the Constitution.
	Like, I'm not being hyperbolic!
	That's what he said!
	Yeah!
	Oh, and he's very mad about the fact that people are calling him out on this.
	He then posted later, the fake news is trying to actually convince the American people that I said I wanted to terminate the Constitution.
	This is simply more disinformation and lies, all caps, just like Russia, all caps, Russia, Russia, Russia, and other hoaxes and scams.
	What I said was that there was massive and widespread fraud and deception has been irrefutably proven in the 2020 presidential election.
	Steps must be taken to right the wrong.
	Only fools would disagree with that and accept stolen elections.
	And then he ended with MAGA.
	So he literally, like, his signature was MAGA on his angry... It's a good one.
	Solid.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	I love his position.
	He's just like, all these liberal news networks are trying to twist my words and say that I said that we should suspend some parts of the Constitution.
	Of course I never said that!
	And then it's just like, of course, like literally verbatim, you did say that, and we can show the screenshots of these things side by side.
	And many news outlets have, because it's very funny.
	Yeah, the actual quote from the thing that he totally didn't say is, so if the revelation of massive and widespread fraud and deception in the working closely with big tech companies, the DNC, the Democrat Party, do you throw out the presidential election results of 2020 out and declare the rightful winner?
	Or do you have a new election?
	A massive fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.
	Our great founders did not want nor would condone false and fraudulent elections.
	Well, I mean, that's true.
	Yes.
	Smash cut to the election of 1800.
	Going down a rabbit hole of history no one wants to deal with, but yes.
	Yeah, I mean, as much as we're not, you know, journalists, we're also not historians.
	You flirt with both of these things, but the rest of us less so.
	But yeah, I think you could very easily, if you were someone writing a headline, go to a massive fraud of this magnitude allows for the termination and then do a lot of ellipses and then put Constitution as the next word, because that still flows.
	Because saying that you want the termination of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution, makes it sound pretty clear to me that you're okay with terminating the Constitution.
	Yeah, how else am I supposed to interpret that sentence?
	Yeah.
	I mean, like, real question.
	How else am I, like, devil's advocate here?
	How else am I supposed to fucking interpret that sentence?
	Other than you want to throw out at least the parts of the Constitution that you don't like.
	Because Hunter Biden's penis got taken off of Twitter?
	Like, that definitely... Wow.
	Also, somebody should probably tell them that, like, all of Republican conservative battle cries involve some article of the Constitution.
	They love the First Amendment.
	They can't get enough of their, like, the Second Amendment or whatever.
	They just love amendments.
	They can't get... Maybe nobody has told them that amendment means amendment to the Constitution.
	Yeah.
	And that'll just blow his mind.
	He'll be like, what?
	But I love amendments.
	They're my favorite things.
	That's why I decided to choose social, because I love amendments so much.
	Yeah, name the... I would die if Trump ever got sat down and they're like, okay, you love amendments so much.
	Tell me the contents of any of them outside of the first, second, and fifth.
	And then on the fifth, Explain it to me.
	Like, explain how it works.
	Like, on the first, second, and fifth, explain the contents of those.
	I'd like to say that this makes him a real dum-dum, but I couldn't do that either.
	I know that it was taught to me at some point in middle school or whatever, and I just could not be bothered to give a shit.
	I was just like, man, this Constitution sounds pretty neat.
	It affords me a lot of protections.
	Thank you, Constitution.
	And that was the end of it.
	That was the end of my love affair with the Constitution.
	Acknowledging that it gives me freedom.
	Especially due to the color of my skin and the penis I have.
	White penis.
	The Constitution.
	When I show up to the Constitution, they invite me into the back row where the real protections are.
	Yeah, you walk into the room and the guy with the earpiece who talks into his hand, he actually unclips the velvet rope and lets you into the white person Constitution.
	Yeah, the white cishet male constitution.
	The great constitution.
	Yeah, you go up to the counter and you're just like, I need some toilet paper.
	And they're like, okay, how soft?
	And you're like, three-ply.
	And then they lead you into the back where it's secretly like a sneaker showroom.
	And they're just like, hey, we just got the Yeezys in.
	They're like 15 grand.
	And she's like, really?
	Still?
	That's super surprising.
	And they're just like, we don't care about politics here.
	We sell shoes.
	Literally, the day Trump was elected, I was in one of my final college courses, and there was this girl in the course with me, and she was happy.
	She was like, no, this is great.
	And I was like, I told her to her face, I was like, you're a fucking idiot.
	I was like, I'm a white male, ostensibly Christian, middle-aged, none of my rights will be impeached at all, but you're a woman.
	And guess what?
	They're gonna come for you in some way.
	And she was like, what?
	And I'm like, I'm telling you right now, there's only under Trump, there's only one protected class and it's him.
	It's people that are defined as like him and you're not it.
	Like he's going to take away some of your rights.
	I don't know which ones, but they will.
	Like, so strap in.
	Buckle up, Buttercup.
	Oh yeah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that, that's, that was inevitable.
	That's just the nature of, uh, these kinds of authoritarians is that there
	have to be second class citizens to make the quote unquote first class citizens
	feel better about themselves.
	And so Trump going after the constitution was, uh, obviously, I mean, this is a,
	this is heresy.
	So the one really important thing about QAnon is that no matter what Trump does, his heresy is always acceptable.
	Like if you, a dum-dum, got mad at the constitution, you'd be excommunicated from the group immediately.
	Trump does it and it's savvy.
	Um.
	The two lines of argument I've seen, the first of which is in like some world, like rational, was, Oh, look at Trump.
	He's making all these libs defend the constitution.
	You know, he's setting them up to have to like be beholden to it.
	And it's like, uh, we were always beholden to the constitution.
	Like, our quote-unquote problems with the Constitution are shit like you revising the Second Amendment to be going from well-regulated militias having the rights to bear arms to fucking anybody gets a gun and, like, that kind of stuff.
	But, like, the actual, like, Constitution itself and the way it's set up, like, most liberals are pretty okay with that.
	There's, like, some stuff that we'd be annoyed about, but, hey, The other thing I've seen people say, which is absolute batshit, just absolute madness, was by telling people the Constitution can fuck right off means Trump's leaning hard into the Declaration of Independence.
	Yeah, we're doing it!
	Oh shit, and then the Declaration of Independence charges to the ring from backstage without stopping like the ultimate warrior.
	Oh my god.
	Oh, it starts laying clotheslines into the Constitution like you read about, the press slam, the splash.
	Yeah, I don't know if you guys know, but if you see a car out driving around and it has We the People on the back in that, you know, scrolling font, only constitutional scholars are allowed to have that on the back of their car.
	You have to be a certified constitutional scholar to have that on your car.
	It is against the law otherwise.
	So you can stop that person and ask them any constitutional queries you have and have them like define and explain for you and they will be able to tell you the entire constitution word for word.
	That's incredibly reassuring, thank God.
	It's so good to know that so many Americans are erudite and knowledgeable about science fiction.
	I just needed everyone to know that.
	It is, you know, 100% against the law to have that, you know, in the... What is that fucking font called?
	The Scrawling Quill font.
	We the people, with a flag behind it.
	What font is it?
	Back in the day it was just called handwriting.
	I guarantee that has a dumb font name.
	You know what that font's name is, Sarge?
	Freedom.
	It's the Freedom font.
	Freedom.
	Nailed it.
	You got it.
	You wouldn't be surprised if there was one that was just called, like, Jefferson Script, and that was what it was, you know what I mean?
	So, you know, I guess if you're a student of fonts, which I believe at least one of our listeners is, go ahead and chime in, because I'm sure that you're raging in your headphones.
	I provided you with rage-inducing content right now.
	I started to ask for the name of a font.
	And you're like, I know it!
	I know it!
	You will never know more what it feels like to be a ghost than listening to a podcast and knowing the answer to something they are talking about.
	Just shouting at people that can't hear you.
	See, I'm that way, but with puns that seem incredibly obvious to me, or especially portmanteaus when they come up, that seem super obvious to me that, like, these ostensible professional comedians, like, overlook.
	It's like, hey, Paul F. Tompkins, you miss that low-hanging fruit there?
	What, you think you're too good for that one?
	Or did you just miss it?
	Either way, you're wrong.
	You should have picked up on it.
	I love a portmanteau.
	Get with it.
	You have to fucking earn that mustache.
	More like a portman throw.
	Boom.
	I mean, I guess.
	It was kind of weird, but it took me a second to understand what it was, and then when I got there I was like, okay, I guess.
	Some marks.
	Like, 4 out of 10 or whatever.
	I don't even get a D?
	I mean, I said some marks.
	I didn't say they were good.
	They were just some.
	I'm a harsh mistress.
	El, or as we like to call him, the East German Judge.
	You don't step into the punderdome with El.
	Don't worry Mike, I'll pick that one up.
	Speaking of Germany, it's Segway time!
	And it's flawless, which you can tell because I used the actual word segue in it.
	Uh, so, uh, sort of breaking, not breaking enough to warrant any sort of from the front lines voice, which is why you didn't hear it, but breaking enough that we're going to make it our second headline of the week.
	Uh, there were some feel good arrests in Germany this week, Mike.
	It feels good to get a W for the good guys.
	What happened in Germany just 24 hours ago?
	So, 25 people were arrested on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the German government and to attack Parliament.
	What are they, on fucking Compound V?
	How are we going to overthrow the whole government 25 strong?
	Well, they were working, they were trying.
	They were hustling.
	Yeah, they were hustling.
	They were looking to try to attack the German parliament, which I still believe is called the Reichstag, which is terrifying if you remember how Hitler eventually took full power of Germany.
	And these 25 people included a sitting judge and other military and police officials.
	And this movement is basically a German version of the sovereign citizen movement that we have here in America called the Citizens of the Reich or the Reichsburger.
	And these people believe that Germany after World War II is illegitimate and not a real state.
	That it is actually a puppet government.
	So they're German sovereign citizens.
	Right, exactly.
	They believe that the German government is a puppet government of France, England, Russia, and America.
	And that this government is illegitimate and not a true government and it needs to be removed and then A true German government that represents Germany can be reinstalled in its place.
	This is a weird take on the thing about America's government being a corporation and not a country based on some obscure bit of legislation in the 1800s that incorporated Washington, D.C.
	The thing about this is that They do say that these people were influenced by QAnon, but this is one of those things where it's just a smorgasbord of weird right-wing ideologies and beliefs.
	Again, you have the sovereign citizen stuff, you have the QAnon stuff, you have people that were in German royalty that thought that They were going to get their seat back into power and influence at some point in Germany's history.
	When reunification happened, they were like, okay, Germany's reunified now, so you're going to recognize me as being the Duke of this country.
	And they're like, no, we're a Western liberal democracy at this point.
	You're as useless as the British monarchy, but way more useless because we don't even care about you the way we gawk at those weirdos.
	So, uh, get fucked, German royal.
	And that guy's like, God damn it.
	Well, that's to you.
	I'll topple your government and I'll, I'll be reinstated as the Duke of Munich or whatever.
	And then you'll have to over-respect me.
	So, yeah, you had a bunch of people that had gotten themselves pilled on various right-wing extremist ideals that had come to the conclusion that, yeah, now it's time to overthrow the German government.
	And they were far enough along in this plot that the German police were like, time to arrest you for your bullshit.
	From all accounts, it doesn't appear that they were very close to being successful, but they definitely did want to do this thing.
	They definitely did want to try to, like... Successful enough that Germany mobilized 3,000 police officers.
	Yeah.
	And fucking came on them.
	Is there nothing in German that doesn't sound evil?
	Reichsbürger?
	It's just their government, like...
	Well, that's the problem is that they have to pay the price for the fact that they have produced the world's timeless arch-nemesis, the Nazi.
	I wonder if pre-Nazi, if cultural perception, let's say pre-World War I, Right.
	The cultural perception of the German language.
	Did people think that it sounded inherently sort of aggressive and sinister?
	Or has that only come about because there were a couple of world wars fought over them?
	Either way, Kanye West, now known as Ye, would love, just absolutely love, among other things, for the Jewish people to just let it go.
	Like, hey man, stop crowing about it.
	To unfreeze his bank accounts?
	Which is just like an insanely insane thing for anyone to say, but especially a black person, because there's also thousands of years of oppression against your people that I'm sure you don't want to let go!
	And nor should you!
	Anyway, Mike, let's go into our Yay Watch for the week.
	Yay Watch!
	What's going on?
	Just give us a sussant of the insane shit that Yay West has said this week.
	Yeah, so yay.
	After walking out of Tim Pool's quote-unquote interview, starfucker Alex Jones just couldn't resist.
	He had to do it.
	He had to try to tap into that yay hotness.
	Well, funnily enough, this is exclusive, totally factually accurate information that only I have.
	At first, he did not know that it was Ye West.
	He just thought it was someone in a gimp outfit.
	And for reasons only known to him, he was very excited to get that person, like, in the same room with him.
	He was just like, OK, what else is going on?
	I need you to get that gimp in here.
	You want to interview Ye?
	and he's just like, yeah.
	I do like that your Alex Jones sounds a lot like J. Jonah Jameson, who famously they portrayed as an Alex Jones
	character.
	Bye.
	Yeah, there are subtle differences.
	It's your uncultured ear that can't hear them.
	That's the best way to do anything.
	Blame the other person.
	Shut up, idiot.
	So, yeah.
	So, Ye goes on Alex Jones' show, and I think, like, the problem is that Ye just wants to be an out-and-open anti-Semite, and that's bad for Alex.
	And I think my favorite thing was Alex, like, stress laughing in response to Ye's refusal to play ball with him.
	Like, Alex would go on a rant to try to be like, this is what Ye is truly going for.
	And then Ye would be like, no, what I'm going for is I love Hitler and I hate Jewish people.
	And then Alex would just be like, Oh, wow.
	Okay.
	Well, you know, first amendment, uh, that's when InfoWars is all back.
	We'll be right back.
	And just, just, just like Kanye, Ye did not want to play ball.
	He was not going to let this be sanitized in any way, shape or form.
	He was just going to say horrible things.
	And, I think like the thing that a lot of people like kind of ignored because the interview went on for so long and there was so much of it, but there was just one moment in the interview where, um, like Alex Jones is talking about the Holocaust and he just brought up Hitler didn't kill 6 million Jews.
	Just that is just straight Holocaust denial.
	And like, whatever else you were going to say about Yves trolling and dumb pro Hitler anti Jewish people shit and
	all that stuff. No, lead with the like the headline, he denies Holocaust. Like that's the
	first thing you start with in the whole thing. He literally said,
	defensive of the press on this one. I think yay defends Hitler is also just like, I think
	it's fine. I feel like it's so cut to the I feel like it's got the same taggy zip of
	miracle whip that really just makes it just like when you see that headline, it's not
	just like, well, I support Hitler, but at least he's not denying the Holocaust.
	It goes down real smooth.
	Oh yeah.
	But yeah, it's just...
	He, that's what he wanted to do.
	And it's really funny that like anyone would get near him knowing that's what's going to happen.
	And since this has happened, Alex has decided to come out and be super weird about Nick Fuentes.
	He, I don't know exactly.
	I don't know if it was an interview or if he just like was on somebody else's podcast.
	But Alex just like basically said now like, I don't want to call Nick Fuentes a homosexual.
	On Steven Crowder's show.
	On Steven Crowder's show.
	Yeah, he goes on Louder Crowder and basically makes the I'm not saying but I'm saying allegation that Nick Fuentes is gay.
	And He's also like denounced like he's like massively pro Hitler stance.
	Nick Fuentes has then come around and called Alex controlled opposition.
	And they're doing that.
	Oh, yeah, they all turned on each other a lot.
	Yes.
	Alex Jones is on the damage control.
	I don't like Hitler tour.
	And but also, yeah, maybe calling Nick Fuentes gay.
	I mean, Nick Fuentes is a weird fucking incel Holocaust denier.
	But This is like a classic, this is like a Republican legislature move, though.
	Like, it's just like, they're just like, oh, you know what?
	All of this, all of this fucking Ye West loves Hitler, colon hates Jews, like, situation is happening.
	You know, we're gonna sneak under the jacket.
	Yeah, and also this guy's gay.
	And, uh, you know, he's gay.
	Or whatever.
	I'm just gonna throw that out there.
	Anyway, back to Ye talking about Hitler, but I just want to make sure you know this guy is gay.
	Even if he is, it doesn't matter!
	Right, but what Al was talking about, it reminds me very much of how they got Madison Cawthorn out of Congress.
	Madison Cawthorn was like, literally, I went to Hitler's summer vacation home!
	It was a bucket list goal of mine!
	And he's been arrested, going on the planes with guns all the time, and he's a lunatic, and he's Like, there's all these allegations that he sexually harassed any woman in his sight when he was in college, and all of that stuff.
	Then all of a sudden, one photo comes out where he's kissing his own cousin's pee-pee, and suddenly it's curtains for him.
	Right!
	Yeah, I mean, like, you get one photo of him naked, groping with some guy in bed, and bam, he loses the Republican primary and he's out of office.
	Like, all the gun and sexual harassment of women and the pro-Hitler shit, not enough to make him lose a Republican primary, might be gay, boom!
	You're out, buddy!
	Get fucked!
	Yeah, there's a line we will not cross, and it's the gay line.
	Right.
	Like, you can, like, tickle the pro-Hitler stuff and we'll let you sneak through a Republican primary.
	Yeah, we can walk that back.
	What is up with the conservative paranoia regarding people secretly being something else entirely?
	Like, there's so many, like they're afraid that people are gay, or secretly the other biological sex, or in extreme cases secretly a lizard person or a hologram, but like a very common thread in like Republican conspiracy theory bullshit A lot of it, I think, comes back to being anti-trans and everything.
	that you think you know are secretly something completely different. They're just like putting
	on a they've got a costume of the person that you know.
	What's the deal with that? It's a level of paranoia.
	A lot of it I think comes back to being anti trans and everything. They have to know what
	something is immediately when they look at it. They have to be able to
	They want to be the ones that put on the they live sunglasses.
	They want to be able to spot the fact that you're gay or trans without anyone else knowing the secret truth.
	Their brains cannot handle it changing.
	And I think the other side of it is also that they want to be the ones that have
	the secret knowledge.
	They want to be the ones that put on the, they live sunglasses.
	They want to be able to spot the fact that you're gay or trans without anyone
	else knowing the secret truth.
	I mean, like, like if you ever go down the dark roll, the dark rabbit hole of
	transvestigators, it is just absolute.
	The most aggressive brain worms I've ever seen.
	No, I don't think I want to.
	They got photos of Charisse Theron wearing a bikini, and they're like, now you look here and you can totally see the male body, and they're going over her legs and stuff, and I'm like, I'm looking at a hot chick in a bikini, and you're trying to prove to me she's a man?
	What planet are you on?
	And also, if you have to get in there with the magnifying glass and the forceps and shit, if you have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce it, should it matter?
	I mean, it shouldn't matter to begin with, but what do you want?
	Also, even if it does, it doesn't.
	Well, the thing I will never... It doesn't matter is one thing that's obviously true.
	Yeah, at the top, always and forever.
	But the thing that just blows my mind about these people is what do they think human demographics actually are?
	Do we think we're 75% male and 25% female?
	Like, how is every famous woman, like, was not assigned female at birth?
	Like, how is that possible?
	Like...
	You go through your high school yearbook and just look at all the women and none of them ever made it.
	None of them were ever successful.
	The logical answer is that there's also a lot of secret biological women out there posing as men.
	Like, hey, Tom Arnold?
	You'll never know.
	Vagina.
	All the way.
	I know!
	It's crazy!
	I wouldn't have thought it either, but he confirmed.
	Like, it is known.
	Like, in the secret annals of Hollywood.
	It's just like, yeah.
	And when you sing a thing like that, you're just like, that sounds completely absurd.
	And the answer is, yeah.
	So does all the shit that the Republican conservative paranoid lunatic also says.
	How dare you make me think of Tom Arnold, a person I'd managed, an idiot I'd managed to bleach from my brain.
	Well, I mean, if you thought he was God previously, I'd like to introduce you to his fake vagina.
	Here's... paint yourself... get out your oil paintbrush of the mind and go ahead and paint yourself a nice big portrait of Tom Harlow's fake vagina.
	No, I don't want to!
	Well, I think that this is our new niche.
	We need to just get rid of our social media presence as is, and we come back as transvestigators, but we only target men and call them women.
	Because the whole transvestigation is always claiming that women are men, because there's that undercurrent of raging misogyny that has to be a part of it.
	Because you're part of this angry incel community, and you look at a beautiful woman and you resent her, so then you slur her by calling her a man, and you think you've won.
	So, like, we need to be the incredibly unsuccessful trans investigators that go after men.
	And we're like, why are we getting no engagement?
	We just called Tom Cruise a chick!
	Where's our million views?
	And it's just like, well, Tom Cruise is a weird Scientologist, but, like, no one has, like, raging hatred against men where you slur them as women and suddenly you just, like, ding all the views as a result of it.
	Yeah, that's an incredibly great transphobic idea, but I'm going to pass on that one.
	I feel like it would get us in a lot of trouble, even if we were doing it with our tongues firmly in our cheek.
	I feel like that would be a difficult one to just be like, no, we're in on the joke, and that's what makes it funny.
	And they're just going to be like, are any of you trans?
	And it'd be like, no.
	And then they're just like, well, then fuck off, you goons!
	And we'd be like, yeah, we deserve that.
	We fucked up.
	We fucked up real bad with this one.
	This one was a really poor taste.
	Yeah, we've made some mistakes.
	Yeah.
	I'm going to cut this one off at the pass.
	I woke up one of the sleeping psychics and they pooped out a little orb and that orb told me that that idea is bad.
	Yeah.
	Do not do that.
	Don't do that.
	Do not start your weird in-joke transvestigation channel.
	Yeah.
	Well, I'm sure we'll get to talk about Ye Westmore in future episodes, because it does seem like... He had a pretty good career, so it seems like he's got some more gas in the tank for high profile ruining it.
	So let's go out on the rare good note for our headline segment for this week, because we, the champions of sanity, not we, Adventurers at Homeworld Podcast, but we, collectively, Democrats, Or liberals at the very least.
	Have defeated actual madness in Georgia.
	Narrowly.
	Narrow victory over actual bonkers nonsense in Georgia.
	And I'm certainly no pundit, so let me throw it over to Mike who has more knowledge of these things.
	Mike, victory in Georgia, big news.
	Yes, Raphael Warnock, the Democrat who, I don't know exactly how he drew the short straw,
	but like in 2020, him and Ossoff ran for Senate.
	And for some reason, Warnock got the seat that he had to run for re-election again in
	two years, because that was the seat that was like being, that was being like, there
	was a placeholder for it and the full term was two years away.
	Whereas Ossoff won and got the full six.
	So that dude's just chilling.
	But Warnock had to run to hold that seat and get the full six for himself.
	And the Republican Party vomited forth Herschel Walker, a man who obviously is suffering,
	obviously has mental illness and probably has cognitive impairments.
	A little CTE.
	Yeah, a little CTE.
	And basically the battle was between a man who was eminently qualified to be a senator and had served for two years versus a man who scored a lot of tutties for the Georgia Bulldogs.
	And the difference in the Georgia voting populace with about, you'd say, close to 3 million votes cast was about 100,000 in favor of the man qualified to be a senator.
	So Warnock won 51.4 to 48.6, which is closer than it should have been, but it's a win and I'll take it.
	Yeah.
	And this gives the Democrats 51 seats in the Senate, which A lot of people have pointed out the two important things about this is that one, the Democrats now just get to chair committees.
	They don't have to have a power-sharing agreement with the Republicans when it comes to who runs what committees because in a 50-50 split, you got to be nicey-nice with the other side.
	And the other more important thing is that 51 seats gives you full subpoena power.
	Before, the Republicans could block a subpoena if you wanted to issue one against somebody to testify to the Senate.
	Now they can't.
	So if the Senate, because now that the Republicans are going to control the House in January, if the Senate wants to keep the 1-6 committee going, they can.
	And if they want to say, hey, chuckle fuck, appear before us and testify, and that person's like, no, then they can be like, hey, we're going to subpoena you.
	If you don't, you can be held in contempt of Congress.
	And as Steve Bannon is eventually going to go to jail for, that's a thing that actually has consequences.
	So these are nice good things.
	And also having more seats is better than less because there'll be more elections down the line and having like a cushion for your majority is better than not having one.
	And finally, not having Hershel Walker in the Senate is fucking great.
	Yeah.
	Because the man is terrifyingly incapable of public speaking. During the
	entire runoff, whatever Fox News would have Walker on, he had to have Ted Cruz or Lindsey Graham or
	somebody else carry the vast majority of the interview. And then they'd like throw it to Herschel
	for like his soundbite that he memorized at the end. They're like, okay, Hirsch, hit him
	with the catchphrase.
	And then Herschel Walker would be like, I love inventions!
	Wait, no, what?
	And then they would cut his mic really quick, and he'd be like, talking, like, he'd be having a furiously silent-to-the-audience conversation with one of his handlers.
	He'd be like, but I paid for so many abortions!
	Why can't I talk about it?
	What's wrong with that?
	I mean, they were very good to me.
	I didn't want to have those kids.
	I love abortion.
	And they're like, Herschel, Herschel, no, no.
	It's bad for the public to hear those things.
	Abort, abort, wait, no.
	The proud Texas resident, I believe, oh wait, where are we again?
	That was that kind of like I because I had just been following all of Herschel's like terrible personal quirks the whole way It was very wild to me that they didn't go with the carpetbagger charge until, like, the runoff, because, like, that was- Federman was hitting Oz on the carpetbagger thing from the jump, so I was like, I was like, oh my god, Herschel Walker's also carpetbagging?
	Holy shit!
	Like, like, it's almost like they were, like, fighting with one hand tied behind their back, like, we have more things to hit Walker with than the runoff!
	Bam!
	I was like, Oh my God.
	So, um, so that all happened and it was great.
	And on top of that, we got to see Republicans, uh, piss and moan about the fact that they lost.
	Uh, Laura Ingram was very upset about the fact that, uh, that this happened and that the Republican party appears to be just treading water, taking L after L. And, um, Ronna McDonald, also, whose last name is actually Romney, but Trump made her get rid of it because he hates Mitt Romney.
	Ronna is running for her fourth term as the chair of the RNC, and Lee Zeldin, who failed to run, Ronna McDaniel, I'm sorry, I'm going to call her McDonald, but she deserves it.
	Lee Seldon came out and was just like, now Rana should step down and somebody else should be the chair because she's failed us so brutally, but I will not run against her after my failed bid for being governor of New York.
	And it's like, well, Lee, if you're not going to stand against her, why should she step down?
	If you don't got a candidate to actually replace her, You need to like either do it yourself or just like step up here, buddy, because just saying you suck at your job and you should quit.
	It's like, well, who's going to take the job?
	I have no comment on that, but it should not be you.
	The only the only person who has declared as a candidate against Rana For the RNC chair is our boy, Mike Lindell.
	Mike Lindell has said he was running for RNC chair.
	There were reports in QAnon world that Trump had endorsed him for this job, but I have seen no actual confirmation of that.
	So I believe that Trump, as willing as he is to endorse any lunatic who will kiss his ring, my pillow guys have bridged too far for Trump's endorsements, it appears at this time.
	So Lee Zeldin, those are your options.
	The lady who's been RNC chair as you guys have lost election after election, or the MyPillow guy.
	So until you want to bring something to the table that's better than those options, Sit in the corner.
	Just be quiet, because it's just hilarious that the Republicans are super mad about how they're going to fix things, but they have no solutions, because what solutions could they have?
	They're going to run and terminate the Constitution guy for president in two years.
	That's their candidate.
	Maybe they'll run Kirstie Alley.
	Oh, R.I.P.
	She's one of the last celebrities they still have.
	Wait a minute, what do you mean R.I.P.?
	What are you talking about?
	L didn't know about Seventeen, nor did he know about Curse the Alley.
	I was living in a more beautiful world.
	Where our girl, Kirstie, did not die.
	No, of course I do.
	I was making zingers about it on Twitter because I think respect for the dead is only for people who were worth respect when they were alive.
	I forgot to kick her while she was down, six feet under, waka waka, during the Abu's Bush, so I figured I'd fit it in here before we move away from talking about other failed pseudo-celebrities like Herschel Walker.
	Although I think Herschel Walker did something else, like, you know, The Celebrity Worthy, more recently than Kirstie Alley did.
	What was the last TV show she was on?
	1992?
	What the fuck?
	Yeah, I think Scientology actually ruined her career, so... Aw, bummer.
	Yeah.
	Aw, beans.
	It could have happened to an extra person.
	Yeah.
	Aw, dogs.
	Also, what are you talking about?
	Being a Scientologist seems like it rules.
	And Tom Cruise is still a bankable Hollywood movie star.
	Action lead, despite only being 5'2".
	Danny Masterton got off on his rape trial because the jury just couldn't get- we couldn't get to a verdict!
	Totally hung!
	And I'm sure it was just like, yeah, I bet one person was sitting over there and they're just, like, counting a big wad of actual physical cash that came to them in an envelope.
	Just being like, I don't know, guys.
	I'm not sure if he did it.
	Hey, do any of you guys want a reading?
	I got an e-meter here for you.
	Want to check what Thetan level you are?
	Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if the person receiving that bag didn't technically know who they were getting it from, allegedly, because none of this obviously happened.
	Why would any of this have happened?
	But let's just say that, hypothetically, in the spy novel, spy fiction novel that I'm writing for Tom Clancy, another famously dead lunatic.
	Anyway, I'm all over the place.
	Let's pull me out of the spiral by going into our mailbag segment.
	Our listeners got questions, we got answers.
	It's time for Q and A.
	So Janet F. Barkovic asks, can Praying Medic Tech teach me prophecy accurately?
	No, but for $125 he can teach you how to not faith heal.
	That is an actual thing on his website that he has like a faith healing class that like you go at your own pace.
	You like watch his videos, you just learn faith healing, and then at the end you're a certified faith healer.
	You can just You just heal your hands and boom people are cured for the
	low low price of a buck 25 Well certified in the eyes of praying medic, I don't know
	that he has a faith healing board beyond him But yeah, so if I don't know that he has a prophecy course
	on his website I just know that I just know about the faith healing class.
	So Man, if it didn't mean giving money to an absolute piece of
	shit, I would Dip into our meager patreon coffers and take his faith
	healing and prophecy courses and see where it got us Yes!
	Oh, God.
	Yeah, I just... I prefer to figure out the future by doing it the old fashioned way.
	Just asking Satan, Hey Satan, what's going to happen?
	And then, you know, you'll get your answer once you pay the cost.
	And it changes.
	It varies.
	Market price, like a lobster.
	The Faith Healing Chorus is now down to $1.20.
	You mean $120?
	$120.
	Not a literal $1.20?
	Because I was like, well, I could give him that.
	$120. Yeah, 120. Yeah, not a dollar. Yeah, because I was like,
	no, like, I can give him that.
	Yeah, the the details are self paced. No time limit. No tests.
	No quizzes. No grades.
	This is this the faith healing or the prophecy?
	Sorry.
	This is the Faith Healing.
	There is no Prophecy class, sadly.
	I thought one of his gimmicks was...isn't he like one of the Q-Prophet people?
	Or am I confusing him with one of the other grifters?
	Oh, he's the one who talks about his dreams all the time.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	He's got like prophetic dreams.
	He's just like, guys, I dreamed a thing, so strap it.
	Okay.
	I'm glad that I wasn't like that out of touch.
	Oh, he has a seeing in the spirit class.
	So that could be prophecy.
	And it is also self-paced of no time limit.
	It does not list that he does not have a test here.
	So you might get quizzed on the seeing in spirits one.
	There's no time limit, like, where's the Otis to tell you that the lesson has stopped?
	I would imagine it would be on him, but what if he was too shy to bring it up before you were so inclined to drag it out past an acceptable time?
	You're like, hour 13.
	And you're just like, I don't know.
	It's just like, it's right on the tip of my mind.
	I feel like God's really trying to tell me something, you know?
	He's like, okay, well, I think I need to wrap it up.
	She's like, no, I need you here.
	He's like, my conduit.
	You set a time on this.
	It's legally binding.
	His Seeing in Spirits allows you seeing angels and demons, seeing in the spirit and healing, seeing in the spirit and deliverance, and journaling the revelation we receive.
	So take a lot of notes as you see people that are angels and demons, or maybe just angels and demons that are just sort of hanging around.
	So yeah, so I wonder if he, I wonder if he could get a package deal and just like get both of them for like 200, just like shave 40 bucks off the cost.
	If he would be a good wholesaling grifter.
	Yeah, can you go around like spirit touching these demons that you see?
	Like if I've got the healing hands, I've plenty of D&D to know that typically the holy power is strong against demonic or undead entities.
	So I would happily go up and just be like, hey demon, you want to catch some of these hands?
	Some of these healing hands?
	Watch out!
	Watch out!
	I got a package deal for 200 bucks for a lesson of indeterminate length.
	Um, uh, I fight in the name of Kukalka!
	The Feathered Serpent God.
	Truly the greatest of all gods.
	So thank you for the question.
	Placeholder asks, can the podcast think of a way to direct quote-unquote election integrity to talk back to the 1960 U.S.
	presidential election for the purpose of hopefully further reducing the various JFK loving anons?
	It's very funny that this is brought up because In 2000 mules, Kennedy stealing the White House is one of Dinesh's only things he can list as a sign of Democrat malfeasance when it comes to elections.
	That was his, like, most recent sign that the Democrats stole an election.
	Was he's like, Hey, you know, Kennedy getting in the office might've been illegitimate.
	And it's just like, wow.
	Hey buddy.
	Do you, do you know like what your audience thinks of JFK?
	Your audience thinks he's like basically second to Trump as a God and was like the first guy to take a run at the team state.
	That's why they shot him.
	So it was like super interesting that Dinesh did that where.
	Because that is part of the lore of the 1960 presidential election, was that the mob helped Kennedy win Illinois and thus secure the presidency, which is not true.
	Actually, he had more electoral votes than just what Illinois gave him.
	or the LBJ had a bunch of civic minded corpses in Texas carry the state for for Jack.
	So that we didn't get to this other case to tell us how many mules were involved. Go back over the evidence and
	paint us a mule picture. Yes, map of Moscow and invert it.
	Yeah, yeah. So they don't want to get into that because that conspiracy theory messes with all their other
	conspiracy theories. So So yeah, JFK won the 1960 election clean as a whistle, and that's why they killed him.
	The end.
	But here at the podcast, we're more than happy to get into 1960 conspiracy theory stuff.
	There's actually a board game called Nixon vs. Kennedy that you can play for that election.
	It's not bad.
	I played it a couple times as Nixon and lost both of them, so maybe the game's rigged against him, just like the election was.
	Yeah, I mean, it's tough because it's pretty easy to get Nixon on the right floor of the
	conservatory and even get him the gun. But the shot itself is difficult to make,
	even with all the bonuses you can accumulate.
	Exactly.
	So, Reverend Xenofact, who is at Dobbs.town, I guess that may be Mastodon or some other
	place where you can flee to after Twitter crashes and burns.
	questions.
	Why is it that QAnon never talks about super-secret good guy technology beyond medbeds and time-gazing?
	Shouldn't the good guys have mecha chameleon suits?
	Wait, time-gazing?
	Hold on.
	I knew about medbeds.
	We've talked about Project Looking Glass on the podcast before.
	Oh, yeah, okay.
	We have.
	Jesus.
	Goddammit, Sarge.
	Don't you come to me and talk about it!
	Mike was coming at you way harder than he did for me for not knowing the 17th thing.
	No, I was literally about to say, L is allowed to be aloof and above the fray.
	You're supposed to be in the muck with me, Sarge, dammit!
	There's so many dumb fucking things they believe in, but it's so hard to remember.
	Even I knew about the time gazing, idiot.
	Seriously takes notes, L's time gazing.
	The thing about that is that it's a very weird world that they live in because all the good technology has been suppressed by the Deep State.
	We have anti-grav.
	We probably have hyperspace.
	We definitely have cures for all of our major diseases.
	We have all that stuff, but it's being suppressed.
	So somehow the good guys don't have it, but it's a thing that exists.
	And what makes this ridiculous is that, like, if that technology exists, people should be able to make it outside the deep state's auspices.
	It's like, once America showed the world, hey, nuclear bombs are real, people started making nuclear bombs.
	And it's, like, really not about, like, the technical know-how.
	It's more the, are you willing to run the risk of people detecting the fact that you're building a nuke?
	And trying to join the nuclear brotherhood.
	I mean, North Korea is as backwater as they come, and they got fucking nukes.
	So it's just like, if, like, anti-grav was a thing the deep state had built, and then was like, oh shit, that's way too explosive for the normies, they can't have it.
	Like, the patriots should be able to build anti-grav machines the same, because it's like, fuck, the technology exists.
	And we have Nikola Tesla's incoherent scribblings from when he went mad a couple years before he died.
	So we should be able to put two and two together and build the anti-crab shit.
	I want the Twitter files.
	I want the Tesla files.
	Right!
	Yeah, I want John Trump's, like, actual documentation of Tesla's writings.
	God damn it.
	I forget that they just deified Trump and basically all his relatives.
	So Trump's fucking uncle had, like, time travel or whatever.
	Yes.
	And if Trump's uncle had time travel, why don't we have it?
	He's not a deep state.
	Fucking give up the goods.
	I mean, release the med beds.
	We have the technology.
	Let's do this up.
	At the very least, give us a plausible reason why the bad guys who No, this technology exists to the point where they can suppress it from getting out, or just using it to enslave the world the old-fashioned way.
	It would be so much easier than a multi-hundred year disinformation campaign.
	Like, you get to the point where you can do anti-gravity anything, you're just like, oh, okay, that means that weight is effectively not a factor in a lot of processes anymore, so we can build really big machines for death and war.
	Yeah, have you not seen, like, have they not read or seen any of the Wolfensteins, Man in the High Castle?
	If they had time travel, they could go make the Nazis win.
	Just do it!
	Yeah, and then Ye's career would really be taking off.
	We will have never lived in an era where Ye West wasn't incredibly successful, but also incredibly just open about his hatred of the Jewish folk.
	It gets so much weirder in that rambling Alex Jones thing, because he keeps talking about his porn addiction, but not directly.
	He just talks about how Instagram is full of porn, and it makes him bad because there's so much porn on Instagram.
	He thinks the ye doth protest too much.
	It's real weird.
	Yeah, I mean, it sucks for you, buddy.
	Like, oh, what a horrible life.
	Yeah.
	It's like that fucking show Party Dad had a great bit about that where a fake Marilyn Manson type was just like, yeah, if you think that sucks, try having sex with hookers in penthouses.
	And the other guy's just like, that doesn't sound so bad.
	He's just like, try doing it thousands of times.
	He's just like, still doesn't sound that bad.
	Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
	So Cleodora Selvestri, the Hellworld Grand Inquisitor, asks, if you could change one rule for one game, what would you
	change?
	Oh.
	Wow.
	I think I would probably, I mean, my impulse is to say I would rebalance how the card monopoly works in the game Catan.
	I think that otherwise, all the moves in Catan are pretty low impact and higher impact if you choose your moment, and Monopoly is high impact on the spot if you choose the right moment.
	So I just feel like, compared to the rest of the stuff going on in that game, Monopoly is a little above the curve.
	Would you have everyone get two of each resource from someone's hand?
	If you call Monopoly grain and everyone's got like three, everyone's got two grain at least in their hand, they give you two each.
	So you just like get six instead of like 10 or 12.
	Uh, I don't know.
	I mean, I think maybe the wording would be too complex, but I think, like, maybe if it just, if it was just like, choose a resource when that resource gets made this turn, you get it instead.
	So, like, somebody hits their six, they're about to get, like, six ore out of it, oh shit!
	Like, look at the end, you're just like, okay, I'll Monopoly ore, and then instead you take their ore.
	Like, something like that power level around there, where it's just like, you know, Still rewards you really good for choosing your moment, can get you a bunch of resources that you don't normally make.
	Like, it still ticks the boxes for Monopoly, but it's not immediately just like, okay, I've waited, like, I've waited enough to where I'm gonna play this and it's gonna net me nine resources, like, all at once.
	That's too much.
	Yeah.
	Oh yeah, I can totally see that.
	Um, I don't, it might fundamentally change it into a different card game altogether, but, The ill-fated World of Warcraft card game had it so that any card in your deck could be played face down as a land, like in Magic, and I'd like it if Magic functioned like that, but it would just have to be a different card game from the start.
	The resource system in Magic, I just want it to be overhauled.
	I want a better card game, because anyone who's played it knows that sometimes when you play Magic the Gathering, you don't get to play Magic the Gathering.
	And the more I play card games, if they have a shitty resource system, the less I like it.
	So I've really come to, so something like that.
	I want to fix quotation marks, big quotation marks.
	I'd like to see a fixed Magic the Gathering, but it would be a different game at that point.
	So I don't know what I'm asking for.
	Thank you for taking my answer, so now I have to think on the fly here.
	I'll give you time to vamp with a different answer, because it doesn't sit right with me trying to change Catan because it is mostly perfect, but I'm not sure if a fix to Monopoly would be a net positive.
	Maybe it's perfect because Monopoly is a big swing, who knows.
	What I do think could be fixed is the spell Bless in 5th edition.
	First of all, Bless should only target one person.
	The fact that you get three people out from the jump just makes it easily the best thing for a Cleric to be doing, and if your Cleric's ever not starting the fight off with Bless, then it really feels like they're not doing their job correct.
	Which sucks!
	I don't like the Otis to be on the player to do a repetitive thing every time, but honestly, especially at low levels.
	Your first level Cleric should not be like, I'm gonna do a Guiding Bolt or whatever.
	It's like, no, you cast Bless.
	You can't bless on the party in case we have to make any saving throws or to make sure that we're going to kill these goblins before they can kill us.
	Anyway, yeah.
	Fix bless.
	Bless is too good.
	Different answer to a different question.
	I'd like Blizzard to be a company that I feel like I could support again because, you know what?
	That new WoW expansion's out and I look at it and I'm like, I'd like to be able to play that for like a week or two, but A, WoW just looks like utter dog roll right now, and B, I don't feel like I can support Blizzard, and C, I just watched a video on what playing WoW at the high end looks like now, and it looks fucking miserable.
	So, I don't know.
	A fun WoW would be, I want to change whatever rule would let me have that.
	I think my dumb rule change would be whatever player scores the touchdown in football has to kick the extra point.
	They should have a naked take it for that.
	Because I think, now, I would also have the extra point be such that there's no rush, there's no attempted block, so you don't have your star wide receiver having their leg broken by someone trying to block the kick.
	But it's just a free kick from 33 yards away, can they make it or can they not?
	So you don't have to put the onus on all of your offensive players to be able to make a field goal from 33?
	Yes.
	And the thing is, you have guys that just suck at it, so you have to go for two, because they're the one who got the touchdown.
	And it's like, oh, goddammit!
	He was wide open, I had to throw him the touchdown, but now we have to go for two because he can't make the kick.
	It's like, goddammit!
	That actually does sound kind of fun.
	I'll tack on to yours.
	I'd rather see it as Madden-style rules, where the PAT for one is free.
	You can just say, we take it, but then the go for it is worth three.
	So, you have to decide if- I want there to be like an actual decision involved.
	The, the XFL right before COVID destroyed it, uh, the new XFL, they had, uh, no extra point, but you got one point if you went from like one yard, like two points, if you went from three and you got like five points, it was like one, two and three.
	And it was like, you just moved you further and further back.
	I think you got like three points if you tried to go for it from like the six yard line or something.
	So they had like this, like a dial an extra point, like two point conversion play.
	I like that you make it, you take it.
	That sounds the most fun.
	Yeah.
	And finally, from the Chairman Walkman Board of Questions, what would be the first cybernetic augmentation you'd elect to get?
	Upload.
	Full upload.
	Does that not count?
	Let me think of a better answer.
	Can I get, like, a full lower body replacement?
	I feel like all of my problems, like, pain-wise, are in my lower body.
	What, a cyber wang?
	I mean, I'll take... yeah!
	It would have to be better than my regular wang, right?
	Like, why would I design one or, like, buy... why would I spring for one that wasn't?
	So yeah, I would like a cyber waist... I would like a waist-down Procedure done.
	I don't want to have to deal with my stupid human hips, knees, ankles, feet, or dong.
	And that also means I don't have to get like a vasectomy or anything.
	But I would like a nice cosmetic set of balls to go with that dong.
	I don't know.
	I honestly, like, there's so many things.
	Like, I want cyber guts.
	That'd be first.
	You just do away with, like, genetic history.
	So you can drink milk?
	Yeah.
	There's so many things just wrong with my guts.
	And then, like, there's, like, a history of diabetes in my family.
	I just want cyber guts that process all the food.
	So it's like, whatever I eat, it's good for me.
	Yeah.
	And also I can drink milk.
	Yeah.
	I think I would go for, like, cybernetic eyes, like, having, like, a HUD that would, like, just, like, pop up information around me at all times, like, just being, like, sort of, like, kind of tapped into the internet at all moments.
	I would just, like, live to just be, like, just perpetually online with, like, some sort of, like, way where my reality is, like, augmented, where I can just, like, see anything.
	I'm like, yeah, let me check Twitter, and it's just there.
	It's just, like, in my periphery.
	Time to hack!
	I guess a data jack would be great, right?
	Just like the brain-computer interface thing, where you just plug the wire into your computer and you can just do all your stuff by thinking about it.
	And you know, if it's Wi-Fi enabled, then you get the CyberEyes with the heads-up display.
	There you go.
	It might not be upload, but you're getting close.
	Your brain is talking to computers.
	And so that brings us to our question at the end of every week, is what are you guys looking forward to?
	I'm finally playing some Marvel Midnight Suns.
	I started a little bit ago, so I'm looking forward to really, like, pushing through that.
	The few combat missions I've done have been really fun, and they look good.
	Everybody I know that has played it has told me the RPG segments get a little weird, so I'm also kind of looking forward to that to see how awkward they are.
	But I'm enjoying this interpretation of these Marvel characters and how weirdly about the player insert character they all are.
	Um, and it's been fun.
	Also, like, Lesser, I looked at the win percentage for all the teams left that the Chiefs have to play, and it is, uh, .325.
	So, uh, kinda looking forward to the Chiefs- Buttery soft!
	Your fucking butter-soft schedule.
	Enjoy your one seat again, you piece of shit.
	And then you choke against the Bengals again!
	Yeah, the Bengals definitely have our number.
	In the theater of the mind, everyone needs to know I'm wearing a Joe Burrow jersey right now.
	They're egregious, on-camera flopping.
	Mike, unfortunately, Sarge is a Kansas City Chiefs fan, which means his theater of the mind is too busy pretending that their quarterback is the next Tom Brady.
	This is true.
	This is true.
	I remember, dude, as soon as everybody decided that they were on Team Mahomet, they were just like, Kid looks great.
	He's the next Brady.
	Even Brady talked to him.
	And it was just like, that does look good.
	But also Brady-like, you know, results, etc.
	I'll wait until he's, like, accomplished a little more.
	He's definitely a very good quarterback.
	Yeah, just break plural in Super Bowl wins before we start the Brady talk.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Let's get a dynasty first.
	Yeah, and don't forget, the Patriots are just as good as they always have been.
	Oh, yeah.
	Are they even over 500?
	Shut up, you!
	I'm saying Glimpses of the old school Patriots.
	You know, the Blitzo Patriots.
	Everyone's favorite Patriots.
	Yeah, the Patent Patriot Patriots, oh god.
	Yikes.
	It sucks being a Patriots fan.
	So, as soon as the Patriots got bad, I just sort of like...
	Disassociated from football, which was very easy for me.
	Because I felt like after 20 years of sustained excellence, I hit football fan nirvana.
	And I was just like, yeah, I was there when it happened.
	The best times.
	The times that are beyond reproach.
	Anyway, I'll make mine short.
	I'm excited for getting back to roleplaying.
	My Barbarian just hit 5th level in one game.
	The people I play with are back from their various holidays, so the game I DM is getting back into the swing of things, and there are rumblings about a new game with a more higher concept coming down the pipeline that I will get to play in, versus having to DM.
	That all sounds super deluxe, excellent, good.
	I haven't been a part of a D&D campaign in a dog's age.
	I am mostly just looking forward to, again, being able to go out.
	I talked about it last week, having the office party and stuff like that, actually being able to commune with my fellow degenerates and schooling them on the secret Hitler.
	I'm also looking forward to my fantasy football playoffs, which are slowly creeping upon us, and I, the butt of the joke for forever, I'm now going to make the playoffs.
	I'm now good at fantasy football for the first time in a million years.
	So that's right, folks.
	In probably two weeks or so, you're going to be hearing me tell you an incredibly boring bad beat story, and you can all roll your eyes or just dip out of the podcast to the 90-minute mark, because it's going to suck listening to me be like every other whiner in America, being like, I can't believe that guy's kicker got 30 points in Margo Margo!
	And it's just like listening to someone say, bro, I had Ace King, and I 3-bet this guy pre-flop, and then, yeah, it's like, did you lose?
	Oh my god, you lost!
	I had no idea that's how the story ended.
	So shocking.
	Oh my god.
	Or how about, hey, the one time I did fantasy football, I drafted Marshawn Lynch with the first pick of the draft overall because he was a sure thing, and then his abdomen exploded, and that was the end of his career, and he was over.
	over.
	Yum.
	That was a good one.
	I remember that.
	That was incredible.
	I was just like, wow, well done me.
	I accidentally put the poor kiss of death on this guy.
	Yup.
	Ah, that happened like a million years ago.
	Everyone was like, I had the third pick.
	I was like, you have to give this guy third.
	I'm like, there's no one else on this team who even plays offense.
	He's going to get the ball every time.
	He's going to die.
	They're like, you have to take him.
	And I took him, and he was out week three.
	And I was like, yup.
	I fucking knew it.
	Ah, goddammit.
	Yeah.
	Sometimes that kiss of death is incredibly potent.
	Unfortunately, this holiday season was a great reminder of that.
	I got Sarge an art print of the Green Ranger from Power Rangers as a Christmas gift.
	And then, like, it got to his house.
	And then less than two days later, I was just like, oh, that guy is dead now.
	That guy has tragically died.
	And I was like, what the fuck?
	God.
	Usually it just gets like a TV show.
	That is so super morbid.
	Usually it just gets like a TV show canceled or something.
	But this time it felt really, it was like, oh my God, is this what it's like to be the kid from Death Note?
	I was thinking Death Note as you just said that.
	Anyway, yeah, that's right.
	I'm Kira, baby.
	On that note, it is time for us to jump the shark after the first season because why would you drag it out any further just like the show Death Note?
	Our way out of Hellworld.
	Bazinga.
	Take that.
	I'm a weeb.

	Thanks, as always, to DJ BitableEffort for the use of our theme song.
	He's still not on social media.
	What a progressive and ahead-of-the-curve kind of guy, because Twitter is exploding.
	Before it explodes, though, you can find our buddy Frosty on it, at FrostyVO.
	He's the voice of Q and also the voice of all of our bumps.
	And, of course, the show is on Twitter, at Hellworld, with a Q instead of an O. I'm on Twitter, at HellworldL, with Hellworld spelled the same way.
	Sarge, for the moment, still on Twitter, at SargentHell, and Mike Rains, perpetually on Twitter, at PokerPolitics.
	You can find us there, give us a shout out if you'd like.
	So for another successful episode of the Adventures of Hellwar podcast, I have been one of your hosts, the Mysterious Al, joined by the less mysterious Sarge, and the least mysterious of us all, Mr. Mike Rains.
