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.
This week, I am joined, as always, by Sarge.
Future Super Bowl watcher Sarge.
That's me.
Yes, the Super Bowl, so tantalizingly close.
And because of the crisis that I had yesterday, my scheduling got all screwed up, so this week instead of Elle, we're getting Haley, aka Arizona Right Wing Watch.
Sup.
Bailey does not have the punchy, aggressive intro of Elle.
No, just saying.
I get to thank you somewhat in person for the Watkins merch you sent me.
I have it.
I remember talking briefly about it to my brother and I was like, I don't feel like I can wear this out in public because like 99% of people are just like, What a what a weird, like, not around here political campaign shirt, but the people do know.
Oh boy, like they're extra gonna know.
And I- They'll talk to you.
Yeah, yes.
And I, I don't want that because that's how I go to jail.
I'll just be in a fight then.
Because I've seen, me and my partner have seen QAnon bumper stickers out here in the wild.
Like, they're not not out here.
Like, In rural, like, well, it doesn't take long to get into rural Missouri.
Yeah, I was going to say, it's not like Missouri is some batch of blue liberals and we're like, oh my God, a QAnon bumper sticker for all my stars and garters!
We are blood red.
Our state Senate just passed a bill to not restrict gun ownership and gun handling by children.
So we can extra arm our, we didn't want to infringe upon the rights to arm the children.
And, yeah.
So, yes.
Oh, and the child soldiers.
Yeah.
Obviously.
For the coming civil war.
Thank you for the shirt, is what I'm saying.
I think I just kind of have to... I just keep it on a bookshelf.
Like, it's not your fault.
I'm glad I have it.
But Mia, we talked about it on the pod.
I got it, and I was like, This is really lame, Ron.
Like, this could be so much cooler.
It is, right?
Yeah!
I was disappointed in Ron, not in you.
I want that very clear.
I was like, oh, I'm so glad to have this, but like... His hat!
I have it right here.
His hat is lame too, look.
It's so cheap!
It's so... yeah, he had a bunch of them like... These are like felt letters.
You can't tell, but...
It's such a nothing burger!
Oh man, I love how busy the back of the hat is of the RonWalkens2022.com, holy shit.
That's so boring, Ron!
You couldn't put one cue on it?
Like, hidden in there?
No pizzazz?
Yeah.
Ron, Ron, you're so boring, Ron.
He could have been like, Ron Watkins, 17 points for American freedom or something, anything.
I mean, throw him a bone, Ron.
It's the only thing you're known for, is being the character you refuse to admit that you are.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
Then he testified, no, his dad- Yeah, he's back on Twitter and boring.
Oops, sorry.
Oh, no, you're good.
Don't worry, we talk over each other all the time.
Yeah, they've always been.
It's not surprising at all.
Uh, do we want to jump into the news, Boosh?
What makes me laugh?
Now that we're all here?
No, no, we literally in the pre-game show talked about how we weren't doing the Boosh right away.
Oh, okay.
We were going to work on the fact that Hayley is at the Super Bowl and we were going to talk about the Super Bowl in our ball talk segment before we got to the Boosh.
It's true, I'm at the Super Bowl right now.
Okay, so... Well, she's across the street from the stadium, basically.
They actually tore that stadium, or tore my dad's old farm down that he grew up on to build that stadium, so kinda.
Nice.
That's awesome.
So Haley brought, I'm obviously from Kansas City, we've mentioned it before, Haley brought up the Chiefs, and they're kind of racist, so...
Yes and no.
There is a big billboard up that's like, they do, the Chiefs organization has disowned it, where the whole stadium does the tomahawk chop.
That's what they call it.
And the organization disowned it.
Yeah.
Dispoval.
They are just like, no, we're not going to do that anymore.
But they can't get the people at the stadium to stop.
So, there is, and this is the actual name of it, the Missouri Uh, Indian Association.
They have a building.
They help with Native American rights here in Kansas City.
They have a billboard up that says, change the name in the chop.
And they protest, and I'm doing air quotes here, in front of the stadium most weekends.
But the protest is like five people with some very like anemic signs.
For so it's not so much of a protest.
It's just them.
Yeah, like, hey, yeah, we're gonna have one.
Knock it off.
It's like indigenous action here.
Honestly, though, it's because like, we have a quarter of Arizona is Did you guys see that guy?
They were filming a segment for ESPN because all the art for the Super Bowl is done by Indigenous artists here and they're going to have an Indigenous performance, I think, to open the Super Bowl.
And they were filming a commercial for ESPN for it, like The Dancers in Scottsdale, which is the richest, it's a snobby area here.
It's where all the rich people live.
So they were filming a segment out there on the main strip, and a guy that owns a business that sells Probably fake, native jewelry.
Tell me it's just turquoise and like, and silver.
Lots of turquoise.
Yeah.
He came out while they were filming live on ESPN and was like, this is MAGA country, this is MAGA country.
And like calling them like fucking Indians.
And then he started mocking them.
Yeah, all on, all on, like dog, you're on TV.
Like every film crew is here.
Oh, man.
That guy can enjoy trying to fund his business exclusively via Magabucks.
Yeah.
Yeah, that kind of heat doesn't go away when you pull shit like that.
It's not great.
The Gay Cake Guy is still dealing with that, and that's been, what, like 10 years now?
10 years, yeah.
I just saw an article talking with him where he's just like, Almost exclusively gay couples come in to now and just like, I want to get a cake from you.
And it's like, it's like, it's ruined my life.
Okay.
I don't feel bad for you.
Yeah.
Like you say that, that heat does not go away.
No, that, that, I mean, that's literally fucking around and finding out it's literally that it's just like, Oh, I'm going to make a statement.
Ooh, I'm MAGA.
Ooh, I love Trump.
And it's like, Oh wait, I actually liked money more than I liked Trump.
Please, liberals, come to my fake Native American jewelry store and buy crap from me.
I like making rent more than I like sucking up to Trump, it turns out.
Oh no.
Oh no!
Also, you know how he tried to apologize?
He offered a peace pipe.
What a toe-dip idiot.
Tony's like the whitest guy ever with like a gray ponytail and just like... He definitely has ponytail energy.
Oh yeah, yeah.
This is what I'm picturing.
So Superbowl's going well.
It hasn't happened yet, but it's going well.
Yeah.
Perlife Spider-Man showed up.
Did you guys see that?
No.
No, I'm here for Perlife Spider-Man.
Tell us all about him.
Um, so, uh, the stadium's actually in Glendale.
It's actually like a little bit outside of Phoenix, but they also decorated, like, The downtown Phoenix area, which is where all the tall buildings are.
Right.
And there's a big Chase building that has like a perfect little nook all the way to the top.
And this dude was spotted just scaling it.
Without any gear.
He was just kind of, you know when you're a kid and you like scoot up the wall?
Right.
Yeah.
He was just doing that literally all the way up.
Right.
He goes by ProLifeSpiderMan.
He was filming the whole way too.
Like you could go look at his Instagram and like he's like halfway up.
Look at this.
I think I've heard of pro-life Spider-Man before.
Yeah, he does stunts like this.
Yeah, he did some shit in California and like they were talking about arresting him and he was like, I just do this shit to save the babies and he gets to go on the right wing grifter grievance thing.
It's awesome.
So yeah, I'm aware of the man.
Yeah, I guess that, like, a couple days before he came to Arizona, he was protesting a Walgreens in California.
Protesting a Walgreens?
Sure.
Take that, Walgreens!
Yeah, you know, because they have, like, birth control.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
Just, like, literally because they sell Plan B. You know, they... That's it.
Yeah.
He's one of those kind of guys.
Cool.
Really, really fighting the fight.
I thought it was funny, too, because he, like, raises money for, like, Pro-life.
Dot.
or whatever it's called, like an anti-choice org. And it's like, they were like sharing
his videos and like, dude, one day he's going to go splat.
Yeah. This is not going to age well.
Pro-life dot dot dot.
Yeah. So, yeah. So Sarge gets to enjoy either having a, because for me, the now sad Patriot
fan who will never know the joy of another Super Bowl in my lifetime, most likely.
Sarge gets to either have a happy moment from Glendale or a sad moment.
Because those were the Super Bowls where the Patriots, A, lost their perfect season to the fucking Giants, and B, Malcolm Butler made the interception to beat the Seahawks.
So we went 500 over there.
But both games were pretty high stakes as it worked out.
More exciting Super Bowl action at the back end of this thing?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
My final thoughts on the Gs real quick.
We can change the we can change the name tomorrow to like the wolves and I would be fine with it.
And there would be some idiots, racist idiots in Missouri that wouldn't be happy with it.
But I personally like fuck it, change it to an animal tomorrow, whatever.
They, the Chiefs organization brought a bunch of in tribes and indigenous people in in the 90s.
And Uh, took them around, donated them to a lot of charities, and basically said, hey, what do we need to get rid of?
And they said this, this, and this.
And they got rid of all those things.
The name on the books comes from Kansas City, one of Kansas City's most famous mayors, Adriel Bartle.
He was called the Chief.
Chief is not an actual Native American term.
That's something white people put on them.
So that's how they rationalize and defend it all.
But, um, So, is it racist?
Quotation marks, yeah.
If an indigenous person says they're offended, they are, and I can't tell them they're not.
So, could we change it to an animal tomorrow?
The problem isn't so much what you just said all makes sense, but the problem is the fact that the stadium is Arrowhead Stadium and the KC logo has the arrow next to it.
It's like, look at this primitive Native American weapon that we have used for our team that obviously now has Native American flavor to it.
We got rid of everything with a war bonnet or headdress on it.
We got rid of that real quick.
Just, they were, like, within the first two years of the team, actually, they got rid of that.
And they've tried, but it really is still, at the end of the day, kind of unfortunate.
So, still better.
Still better than, like, the Blackhawks.
Better than the Washington Racism.
Yeah.
Oh, Jesus Christ, yeah.
And the Washington Racisms now.
But that, I think, is the power move.
The power move is you become the Kansas City football team.
You just take it from Washington.
You're like, hey, Washington, you left that name on the table, it's ours now!
Fuck you, morons!
And, I mean, it's just like, I can just totally see Patrick Mahomes being like, I'm the quarterback of the football team!
The only true football team in America!
And it'd be like, boom, just take it from them.
Because they foolishly went to the terrible commander's name, which is awful and bad, and if you're gonna go that poor, stick with your weird name.
Stick with football team.
It was the right play.
So, enough of all this gibber jabber, which has gone on way too long.
Let's hit the Inmoves booth.
It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
Get ready for the amuse-bouche.
So I figure we'll start off with the Grammys.
The satanic Grammys that happened over the weekend where Sam Smith did a performance of his song Unholy.
And in order to really spice this up, Sam wore a top hat with devil horns that was red and all of the dancers were scantily clad in red devil leather and all that good stuff.
It was very Party City.
Nice.
What do you mean, Party City?
You know, like Party City Satan costume.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, exactly.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
This was Dime Store Satan.
This was... Yeah, it wasn't like super aggressive.
Right.
Yeah.
So, yeah, Sam Smith... It was just red.
You know, it was red aesthetic.
Yeah, basically.
Yeah.
So, yeah, Sam Smith and Kim Petraeus made this performance.
Now, the one thing that made me laugh a lot about this was that You would think that QAnon, being the world's greatest researchers, would chew down to the bone on this thing and just suck the marrow out of the outrage that they could possibly get out of this.
And they failed.
They really failed.
Because once I heard that the song was called Unholy, I rolled my eyes.
And then I looked at the song, and it's...
Not this, and you would think that this song is like, oh, they're talking about demons and Satan, and it's actually about a guy cheating on his wife, basically.
It's basically about a guy with a girl on the side going out to see his mistress and all that kind of stuff.
The unholiness is infidelity.
The unholiness is not the celebration of Moloch.
But um...
That's unfortunate.
No, artist's objective they say.
I say it's about worshipping Moloch.
I as our resident Moloch worshipper am only here to state But the thing that made this so funny to me is that the lyrics, so Kim is portraying the sugar baby that Sam's character is spending all his money on instead of giving it to his family and his wife.
And when she's talking about all of the money that he is lavishing on her, she says, the lyrics is, Daddy, Daddy, if you want to drop the addy, give me love, give me Fendi, my Balenciaga daddy.
Uh oh.
Not good.
actually in the lyrics. And, and no one brought it up. I have
seen zero QAnon promoters bring up the Balenciaga is actually in
the lyrics.
They have the attention span of goldfish.
Right. Prada and Mumu were also brought up and she lists a lot
of designers that are expensive. But you would think that these
people who tried to make Balenciaga this big thing and it failed, like what they wanted to get their powerful outrage
out over this dumb performance. And nope, not a single one of
them I've seen as mentioned the Balenciaga name drop in the
lyrics of the song.
They're just like, oh!
And I thought Carly Kirk and a bunch of other people being like, oh, look at this satanic bullshit!
Oh, tell me we're not in a spiritual war in America right now!
The thing to me about all of this is, if you are telling me that God and the devil are real, why hasn't God won already?
That's coming.
Yeah, give it time.
Oh yeah, God works in mysterious ways.
I get it.
But this is the problem.
Oh yeah, yep. God will.
It's two more weeks. Just two more weeks.
Yep, two more weeks. God works in mysterious ways.
I get it.
But this is the problem.
Dumb, offended Christians and QAnon believers.
You're...
The story that you tell from your Bible
makes this shit untenable and dumb.
Because your God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving.
So if that dude has a problem with anything, he can put his foot down right away and it's over.
I just read so many things about QAnon where they're talking about, oh, the devil's got his plans, but God's gonna find a way to thwart them!
And I'm like, really?
That's like saying that a guy is robbing a bank, but Superman's gonna find a way to stop him.
It's like, no, Superman just flies down, rips the gun out of his hands, and says, Superman, are you actually gonna go with me?
And the bank robber goes, no, I'm not, because you're Superman.
You can literally subdue me with a thought.
And then he surrenders, and it's over.
Like...
No one in DC Comics, when a crime is happening, going, why doesn't Superman save me?
Come on, Superman!
They're like, wait, give it a month or two.
Superman will get around to it.
No!
He shows up, shit's settled.
It's done.
It's over.
Your character, Christian God, is more powerful than Superman, times a million.
He can do anything, anywhere, at any time, with a thought.
And yet, Sam Smith and Kim Petraeus are able to do their devil thing on stage, and they aren't turning the pillars of salt.
We don't just have God going, no, bad, wrong, and it's over, it's done with, and it's just like...
That's what makes me laugh so much about all this stuff.
These people are like, well, the Deep State got all these Luciferian worshippers into power over centuries.
What was God doing during those centuries?
Did God take a nap?
Did God someone say, uh, it's 1870.
I'm just plum tuckered out, you know, sleepy God and all that.
I'm going to wake up around 2030.
Now don't any Satan worshipers take power in the world while I'm taking a nap.
Cause if they do, when I wake up, Oh boy, there's going to be some fussing and tussing.
Let me tell you.
And it's, it's just the funniest thing to me that like, This is the religion you've created, and yet you want an all-powerful god, but you also want to struggle.
You can't have both.
You just can't.
It doesn't work that way.
There's no sense to it, logically.
The Church of Satan called it mid.
The thing that's so funny about that is the Church of Satan and the Satanic Temple, like,
If you actually look at the shit they quote-unquote believe in, it's just libertarianism and just using the First Amendment as a way to razzle-dazzle Christians.
It has nothing to do with worshipping the bad guy in the Bible.
I had some weirdo in my Twitter feed.
I blocked him after a while because he was annoying me.
But at one point, I was like, why are you talking to me?
And he's like, because I like to break the rules of man.
And he picked the rules of man from the statistics.
The Satanic Temple, and it's like, the rules of man are like, super boring.
They're just like, be courteous.
Don't be a dick.
Like, most of them.
And like, there's like, there's the one thing about like, destroy him utterly or whatever, which is like, obviously done to make people get all, ooh, I'm so upset!
But it's just like, yeah, if you actually like, look at the stuff that like, people like, claim to espouse, it's all humanism.
It's all just like, it's all secularism.
It's not, We worship the loser in the Bible, because that's something a rational person would do.
You read the Bible and you're like, hmm, I'm not so sure about this Godfellow, but the guy who gets his ass kicked?
Sign me up, baby.
Sounds like a winning plan.
Wait, are you talking about because the devil's always losing?
Well, you know, secularism is like Satanism.
Sorry, we keep talking over each other.
I think we're like a little laggy.
Yeah, there's a little bit out of sync.
Not a big deal.
Yeah, no, it doesn't make Yes.
Like, QAnon continues, and their constant clamoring for, like, oh, the devil worshippers doesn't make any sense.
We can continue taking it to the very obvious punching bag of Christian dogma.
Yes, it continues to not make a lot of sense, but QAnon and Right!
The deep state, they just invent new gods and devils.
And they constantly like, yeah, they're just constantly inventing new gods and
devils and saying that the old ones are still here too.
Right.
QAnon is a religion and that religion needs a devil that is the deep state and
it needs a Christian savior who is Donald Trump and they want those sides to be
fighting back and forth with each other.
But then you make them dial it back a little, and yet we still have Christian God.
And it's like, well, shouldn't Christian God give Trump more pointers for how to win this thing?
I mean, again, he's all powerful, and he's chosen Trump to be his avatar.
He's gotta die so he can rise again.
I'm not calling for violence, but I'd be fine.
Yeah.
You have to suffer through, this is in the book, you have to, the good guy has to suffer through tribulations before he can win.
It's the classic hero's journey, it's in the Bible as well, but like, Jesus has gotta die before he can win, and like, come back and show everybody.
Like, I'm sure that's in the rationalization somewhere, but like, I did not watch the Grammys, so, but, Were they just focused on- They watch so much TV.
What?
They watch so much TV for claiming to hate Hollywood.
Oh yeah, yeah.
I didn't watch the Grammys either.
They're looking for the satanic stuff.
Because they gotta- only they can see it.
They gotta find all the dog whistles to show the rest of them.
Right.
And that's the thing that's really kind of funny about this, is that this situation is a very heads-we-win, tails-you-lose setup.
Because when someone does a performance like that, they can be like, look, look, they're just throwing it in your face.
Satanists, all the devil-worshipping Moloch lovers.
And then when Rihanna does something very unsatanic at the Super Bowl, they're going to be like, well, you know why Rihanna toned it down?
Because she knew we were onto her.
She couldn't go full Satan or else we're going to call her out.
So, yep, we made her button it up there.
And so, like, whatever level of Satanism happens in a performance, it is exactly the amount of Satanism that makes QAnon happy.
It's all Satan.
Yeah, it's all Satan.
It's all Satan all the way down.
Satan all the way down.
What is so funny, I was punching up to find our first headline thing from when we switch over to the headlines, and I accidentally It was on Truth, and a QAnon promoter posted this thing, literally.
Let us never forget who the real enemy is in our fight to rescue children, save our republic, and expose these monsters.
They worship Satan.
The truth is ugly, but we must continue to expose this evil and uproot it from our world.
We cannot rest until we see these satanic monsters brought to justice, swift justice, which results in their death.
And then he censored the A in death.
Because apparently Truth Social doesn't like you calling for people to be murdered.
I think what I really enjoy about that is First Amendment.
I'm allowed to worship whoever I want to worship if I'm not hurting anybody else.
So it's like I'm allowed to be a law-abiding Satanist and that is literally protected under the Constitution.
Yeah, because in Illinois, in Chicago, at the I don't know if
it's Chicago or not, but like basically at like the governor's
mansion every winter, every Christmas season, they do these religious displays. And they bring the the major scene with
Mary and the and the baby Jesus for for Christians and the Jewish have the menorah and all that good stuff.
The Church of Satan always brings something to be displayed for this thing because they're like, hey, First Amendment, we get to put up something else because we're a religion too.
And basically, Illinois puts up a sign saying, the First Amendment requires that we allow this.
The satanic display has to go up because we cannot prohibit it under First Amendment grounds.
And I don't remember what was recent.
I don't remember more recent ones.
But the one I remember is there is a it was an outstretched arm, I believe of a female arm.
And a serpent was wrapped around the arm and the hand of the arm was holding an apple.
And the caption was knowledge is the greatest gift.
And that was their Christmas That was their Christmas festivity display from the Church of Satan to the good people of Illinois.
Love it.
I just love the idea.
Again, there's no actual Satanists in America, really.
There's like five.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, exactly. Like actual worshippers of the bad guy in the Bible, you can't count
them on two hands.
There's so few.
But organized satanic religions are just libertarian secularists who just want to do shit like that.
Just want to use the First Amendment against Christians.
That's it.
That's all it is.
I went to SatanCon and it was mostly chill people.
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
I can think of two satanic serial killers.
I can think of two.
And I can think of often this is off the top of my head, I can think of well over a dozen off the top of my head Christian serial killers who did everything espoused in the in the name of God.
So, uh, But, and one, like one of the Christian, uh, uh, devout satanic ones is the Night Stalker and he was like genuinely insane.
So, you know.
Take that for what you will.
Right.
That's the other thing.
Yeah, that's the other thing is like the quote-unquote true Satanists are usually mentally ill and not just, I'm a rational person who worships the bad guy in the Bible.
That's a thing that rational people do all the time.
Yeah.
Also, I feel like Christians are kind of Satanists because they kind of, they believe, they actually believe in Satan.
Yeah!
And then the questions I always ask is, why hasn't God killed the devil yet?
It's a long story, okay?
It's a long story, it's gonna end in a big battle, okay?
We gotta get to it.
Just give it a minute.
Right, yeah, any day now.
God's playing Angry Birds, at some point he's gonna finish a level and he's gonna put the phone down and then he's gonna kick the devil's ass.
It's gonna be great.
Just you wait.
So all that fun stuff.
Let's move on to our second topic, which is sort of breaking news, kind of, which is Elon Musk is a giant piss baby.
That's not news.
No, but the reporting about why he's a piss baby is news.
But what happened recently was our boy Elon broke Twitter yesterday.
That was great.
Twitter was like fucked up for about an hour.
And I still think some of the functionality is not working.
It's literally not working for me.
Last night, I still couldn't follow people.
I would just pull up random people to follow, click on them, and all it would do is it would make the follow button wider, like the oval for follow.
Because if you click on it, it would say following, and then it would just say follow, but it would still be the size of the following oval.
And I was like, oh great, I can make that oval slightly wider.
Wonder Bar, thank God you paid $44 billion for that, Elon.
So that all happened.
And then today, there's an article that's come out about the fact that our boy Elon, he was not getting the amount of engagement he wanted from his tweets.
And he wanted to know if he was being shadow banned by the platform he fucking owns!
Deep State.
Yeah, Deep State.
Nailed it.
The Deep State snuck in and just like, He's got decent employees, just messing with the algorithm, not letting him get all the engagement he wants.
And when one of the engineers told him, yo, Elon, maybe your shit's just getting stale.
Maybe you should be posting concerning, or looking into it, or, hey, I'm espousing, I want Twitter to be all views from all people, but also I'm letting Nick Fuentes and other sacks of shit back on the platform.
Maybe your right-wing bootlicking just isn't fucking juicing people up the way it used to.
To which Elon replied by saying, you're fired!
You're fired!
How dare you!
How dare you tell me I'm not getting my proper engagement, nothing stopping it!
You're fired!
Get out of here!
Don't make Elon sad!
Oh my god.
I mean, just, just absolutely the biggest child in the world.
And another part of the article read, There's times he's just awake late at night and says all sorts of things that don't make sense.
And then he'll come to us and be like... Oh, Sam?
Yep.
Yeah.
I mean... Elon, so relatable!
Yeah!
Uh, this one person says they can't do this one thing on the platform, and then we have to run around chasing some outlier use case for one person.
It doesn't make any sense.
Which is basically them saying, Cat Turd, why did Elon, and now we gotta fix shit so Cat Turd's happy.
Cat Turd or the Corridor.
Oh my god.
Yeah, Cat Turner, The Quartering, Ian Malmstrong, or any of these other fucking idiots, Glenn Greenwald, or whoever, just some right-wing hack, like, pissed and moaned, and now Elon's like, oh no!
Gotta make you happy!
Imagine paying $44 billion to lick Cat Turd's boots.
Just to be like, oh my god, Cat Turd, whatever you want, my new overlord.
It's like, dude, you could have literally just thrown a party and invited Cat Turd and he would have kissed your ass.
Oh, yeah, the same.
You didn't have to do this.
You didn't have to own this fucking platform to get these people to talk to you.
I've said this before about Elon, but he is what we call in the wrestling business, a
money mark.
Like in professional wrestling, you have like the big companies and you'll have like smaller
companies like Little Independence.
And there'll be these guys who like can rent out a gymnasium for a local high school and
get like four or 500 people in the building.
And they aggressively overpay washed up wrestlers to come in and like fight people for them.
And it's just like that kind of shit.
And that's what Elon is only he's a very, very rich version of a money mark where it's
like I can buy this Twitter and make right wingers love me.
And it's like, yeah, great.
Now, uh, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall and X-Pac are your best friends.
Cause you're giving them fucking $10,000 to show up to kick some local kids head in.
Wonder Bar.
Have you seen the ongoing left-wing grifter fight on Twitter between Tim Poole and the quartering?
I don't know.
It's about some tweet that I do not understand.
Like, I have not.
Left wing grift or right wing grift?
Left wing.
Sorry.
You said left wing.
I flipped it.
I'm very dyslexic.
It's right wing.
It's a right wing grift.
Okay.
Whatever.
A lot of times they're pretty entertaining.
I saw, um, I didn't see that one, but I saw like Islesmeyer and Chung and, uh, Cat Turd get into a fight.
Oh yeah, that was great.
They were like, I don't even think of you!
It's like, oh yeah, well you're even smaller than I am!
It's like, I'm Cat Turd!
I'm big time, baby!
And it's like, oh my God.
That was because they were disagreeing about Trump calling DeSantis kind of a pedophile on Truth Social.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, man.
If that's not in our news segment, we will shoehorn the Trump shit into our news.
That'll be our news story on the news.
Trump on Truth Social has been a trip.
And yeah, so let's just get right into the news.
Fuck it, we're doing it live.
Damn right.
From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News.
So Donald Trump decided to have a weird quasi meltdown on Truth Social.
A, he like live tweeted Biden's State of the Union and at times was very weirdly complimenting Biden.
There were points where he was like, hey, Biden's on a roll now.
Biden's putting down some serious shit here.
I'm liking it.
I'm liking the cut of his jib.
To other points, he was like, Jill Biden, looking good.
Got a nice dress on tonight.
Good on you, Jill.
Good first lady.
And people were like, what the fuck is Trump doing?
Literally, his whole act is just screaming and yelling.
So between his bizarre, not outright fangs out hatred of Biden, we also got Trump...
Deciding to go, just go at DeSantis in a really psychotic way where he posted photos of DeSantis with what appeared to be like high school girls.
And this could have been from like when, like, was like, I don't know if DeSantis was a teacher or an administrator or what exactly was the story, but I do believe there was like a logical, reasonable reason for why this, this photo exists.
And.
The gist of Trump's arguments was from QAnon people being like, hey look, DeSantis is a pedophile, or a groomer, or whatever.
And Trump was like, oh no.
And Trump was just like, say it ain't so, Ron!
This can't be true, is it?
And DeSantis, being terrible at politics, and also a fucking coward, Responded to all of this by being like, I ain't here to smear other Republicans.
I'm here to give results to the people of Florida to fight Biden's woke agenda.
And it's like, yeah, that's going to make Trump stop calling you a pedophile.
Absolutely.
Like, um, I saw someone else mentioned this on, uh, the Intertrons, but it's like, When Trump comes at you like this, you bring up the fact that you go like, Hey, Trump's got some photos of me with, uh, teenage, uh, teenage women.
And here's the explanation for why that happened.
What's Trump's explanation for hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein?
You just go there.
You go hard at Trump.
You can't do this shit where you try to like gingerly like tap dance around Trump.
That doesn't work.
Has he ever made a statement?
Has Trump ever made a statement on Epstein?
I don't remember.
He wished Ghislaine Maxwell well when she was being tried for crimes, which was something that, like, got QAnon's hackles up, but then they immediately did the whole, well, Trump has to appear at partials, then when she gets convicted, it's a fair conviction, and then she goes to jail for forever.
He doesn't actually mean it, and he's like, oh, I love Ghislaine, she's the best!
Like, trafficked all those young children for me, it was super awesome!
I mean, it's just really...
Weird.
I see Trump just posted on Truth Social, a new poll just came out at 62%, but we never begin by playing prevent-defense.
Thank you!
And he then lists a poll where he's at 57% and DeSantis is at 28%.
Trump is just, uh, like just throwing haymakers.
He's just going, he's just going hog wild here to, uh, let everybody know that Ron DeSantis sucks and is a pedophile and is awful and bad.
And I'm great and incredible, and I'm going to win this nomination with ease.
So, uh, you all can just, uh, totally, um, get on the Trump train, the winning train, not the losing train that is DeSantis.
Have you seen the Trump fundraiser for Trump, but it says it's for DeSantis?
It's out there, he's sending it out.
He's like, this is totally money for DeSantis, but it's for me, Trump, in very fine print at the bottom.
That's great.
Yeah, it's like, let them fight.
Yes.
Oh my God.
So Trump reposted a photo of him on top of a giant Trump-branded tank holding a whopper in one hand and a sword in the other.
And it appears to be Mike Pence or, I don't know, Roger Stone.
With a shirt reading, Big American Flag Energy.
And Trump is wearing a WWE Championship belt around his waist in this photo.
It is just the most ridiculous thing that Donald Trump saw that was like, boom, reposting it.
This would be like, this would be like Biden getting like super into Dark Brandon memes.
Just reposting all that shit on his presidential account.
And you'd be like, oh, look at how everyone loves Dark Brandon.
I'm the greatest.
Oh my God.
And the thing is, is anyone, anyone who's thinking that this is like not where the Trump 2024 campaign is going, you're all wrong.
You're all wrong.
And you're stupid because Trump is like a couple of weeks ago, people were like, Oh, Trump's going to go back to Twitter.
And it's like, maybe he will at some point, but truth is the thing that is his brand.
It's like where he, uh, is where his money is made basically.
And.
I'm sure he's going to use Twitter, but he's not going to stop using truth.
And all the people that kiss his ass on truth are queuing on lunatics.
And the only thing those people know to do is to call people pedophiles.
So they're going to post shit to Trump, be like, Hey, Trump, this person you don't like, or is running against you.
Pedophile!
And Trump's going to see it and be like, yeah, that sounds good.
Retruth it.
Boop!
So like, if you are running against Trump in the 2024 campaign, you will be called a pedophile.
Just guaranteed.
100%.
You are a groomer, pedophile, Satanist.
Because that's all QAnon says about anybody.
That sets the trap where if you don't respond to it, you're ignoring it.
If you do respond to it, you're giving it legitimacy.
Yeah, but the way you have to respond to it is, again, Epstein.
You just go right at Trump for Epstein, right at Trump for being bros with Ghislaine Maxwell.
It's like, you have to just fight fire with fire and be like, Like these attacks on me are baseless and without merit and no evidence, but if anyone's like, uh, but hey, if we're talking about this shit, sounds like some projection to me on the part of Mr. Trump.
Cause, uh, he's the one that's buddy buddies with Jeffrey Epstein.
So, I mean, I just, you just throw it right back at him.
Throw it right back at him, because you've got the MO.
You literally, you have the clips of him hanging out with Epstein.
You have the quote of him being like, hey, Jeffrey likes to party, and he likes his girls on the younger side of you.
Know what I mean?
I mean, it's all there.
I mean, it's just like, literally, like, this is the ultimate glass chin that has ever existed in the world.
Just waiting for someone to punch it.
But Republicans are just so scared to punch that guy.
It's incredible.
It's absolutely wild.
Like, 2016 was literally every Republican just tap-dancing around him, being scared, while he was telling... He was like, Ted Cruz, your wife is ugly and your dad killed JFK.
What are you gonna do about it, bitch?
And he was like, nothing!
I ain't gonna do anything about it!
And he's just like, Marco Rubio, you're a little bitch.
Your dick's small.
I'm like, me, I got a big dick.
What are you going to do about it, Rubio?
Nothing!
And it's just like that.
He just clowned them.
He just like, he just like fucking walked around with this giant gorilla when he's an idiot.
And Trump's like the biggest softie in the world.
You say fucking anything to him, he starts crying.
And yet Republicans just, for all their talk about, oh, be a man, be strong.
Nope.
Cowards.
Cowards, one and all.
Absolutely scared to death of a bully.
Yep.
And they'll piss off the Trump caucus.
You know, DeSantis won't go after Trump probably because he doesn't want to hurt his chances in the presidential election.
He's going to have to go into the cave with him.
I know, and he's boring.
He's got to do something to make himself stand out in the actual election because I've seen him live and he's fucking boring.
He's fucking boring and Trump's going to just call him a pedophile and walk all over him.
That's the thing.
You have to show people why you're the alternative to Trump.
You have to call him a pedophile.
You have to bring up the fact that Biden kicked his ass.
You have to bring up the fact that Hillary beat him by 3 million votes in the popular election.
You have to attack him.
And if you're worried about anything, well guess what?
You got to do this.
Like you, if you want to be the nominee, if you, if Desantis ever wants to be president, like that was the moment because I remember in 2012 when everyone and their mother was like, Chris Christie, save us from Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney sucks shit.
You're our only hope.
And Christie was like, I'm going to let Romney lose to Obama.
I'm going to keep my powder dry.
I'm going to wait for 2016 in the open seat election.
And like, Like, very quickly after Obama won re-election, the bridge scandal came out and destroyed Christie, and he was damaged goods, and his career was over.
So it's like, if you're DeSantis, and you're pulling all this shit with banning books, and doing all this, like, authoritarian, fascist shit, and then you were like, oh, I'm not gonna run against Trump, I'll wait until 2028, it's like, guess what, buddy?
By, like, 2025, Some people are going to be out with some shit about you.
They're going to fucking ruin you nationally.
And you might still be like the little dictator of Florida, but President DeSantis?
That'll be gone.
That's going to be way out the window.
Because Chris Christie thought he could wait, and he found out, nope.
And old tub-of-guts Christie is busy kissing Trump's ass and being like, yeah, Trump may have tried to kill me with COVID, but I'll still vote for him if he wins the nomination.
It's like, yeah, great.
That's your life, DeSantis, just kissing Trump's ass until he's dead.
Yeah, step in the cage with him or kiss his ass.
And I just think a lot of these people are realizing that that's maybe not a winning strategy anymore.
I will be amazed if DeSantis actually goes at him.
The timidity that he has shown so far, I know we're still over a year away from anything really happening and all that kind of stuff, but if DeSantis actually declares, like, boy howdy, that declaration speech better be, fuck Donald Trump, and I'm the...
Get on my back, motherfuckers, because I'm taking this to the White House, because Trump can't do it.
If he is not firing brimstone at Trump, it is going to be light work for Trump to take care of him.
DeSantis is going to be out by Super Tuesday, and it will be uncompetitive.
And there'll be people being like, well, maybe it seems to be vice president.
Like, nope, because Trump's gonna... Trump wants a QAnon lady to be his vice president.
Carrie Lake or Christy Neal from the Dakotas.
I don't even remember which one and I don't care.
The Dakotas don't rate.
I don't think they picked the right state there.
Sorry, Dakotas.
Or Marjorie Taylor Greene, or Tulsi Gabbard, or whoever.
Trump's going to pick a lady to cynically try to pander to women and be like, hey, so what if I've got a lot of abortion and now you're going to die from all kinds of horrible things that will happen as a result of that?
I got a lady vice president.
That's good enough, right?
Right, you dames?
Right, broads?
Right?
The scumbag fascists will be like, yeah, it's good enough.
It's good enough.
Vote for her anyways.
Weird mouth noises.
Carrie's talking about running for Senate.
Yes.
Who was the McSally?
Was that the lady who lost to both of them?
She lost to Kelly and Sinema.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's going to be the new McSally.
Just running to lose to Democrats over and over again.
Because it's like, it's the whole state voting again.
The whole state just voted against you.
I don't think, I don't think this is going to work out.
This isn't going to work like you want it to.
And the fact that Katie Hobbs literally ran a campaign of not campaigning, the fact that
let Lake lose was a winning strategy.
It's just like, oh my God.
You're so toxic and shitty, it's wild to me that that's a thing that exists in our world.
So anyways, moving on from Mr. Trump, guess what happened this week?
There was a fucking balloon.
There was a balloon.
It flew over America.
It captivated a nation!
It was a balloon with enough surveillance gear on it that it weighed as much, it was as big as two school buses.
Which, this is important, it was well outside of the international treaties on weather balloons.
Because there are international treaties that allow for weather balloons strictly for weather observation.
to fly across other nations.
It happens, and it has been accounted for, but they have to be under a certain size.
This balloon was way too big, and also China said, well, this was civilian owned, and it was mainly, they literally said this, mainly for weather observation.
And the treaty says exclusively for weather observation, weather balloons are not a problem.
China said, well, this is mainly for weather observation.
And America said, put on Lynyrd Skynyrd.
We're going to shoot it down.
And we most likely jammed it the whole time.
So they didn't collect any actionable data from Kansas City, St.
Louis, everywhere else it flew over.
It flew over Kansas City.
There are pictures.
I mean, there's way better tech than a balloon.
Yeah.
But it had a ton of shit.
Like, it had a ton of, like, high-tech observational shit on it.
We jammed it, most likely, the whole way.
And then we sent out an F-22 to get an F-22's first mid-air kill.
The F-22 has not participated in a dogfight yet, so this balloon was the first Aerial combat, the F-22 that we spend billions of dollars on, has taken down.
Killed it.
Yeah.
Put on the Leonard Skinner.
USA!
USA!
So then the Navy and the Coast Guard were just there waiting for it.
We picked it up.
We got way more data from it than China did, so.
And then China, like, chastised America for shooting it down, and then had the fucking utter chrome-plated balls say, hey, can we have it back?
And... China asked for it back!
That's what came out today.
And it's just like, fucking no!
No, you can't have it back!
It's ours now!
Like, you better just write this off as a gift.
Hope it wasn't expensive.
Yeah.
There's one over Central America right now, too.
Which is not U.S.
airspace.
What you just said there just reminded me of the Joker.
By the way, the suit wasn't cheap.
You ought to know!
You bought it!
You go ahead, Haley.
What up?
I thought you were going to say something.
No, it's just it's funny.
The balloon.
We have a lot of weird like surveillance shit in Arizona because we have the big vast desert.
So it's just funny the freak out over the balloon when it's like we have shit out here that's like in the stratosphere surveilling us.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Going to other countries where it's not supposed to.
Haley's like, this shit's fucking Tuesday for me.
I don't know what you people are talking about.
Yeah, we, like, Boeing and, um, what do you, like, all the big, uh, you know, like, military.
Lockheed.
Yeah, Lockheed, all that.
That's really big out here.
And, like, we have, like, some of the shit's, like, private.
It's not even, like, from them.
That's America spying on America.
Yeah, there's just a lot of interesting... Yeah, but, like, we also send it to, like, South America, you know?
Yeah.
So, it's whatever.
It's just nations doing nations things.
Fuck all nations.
We got the splashback that Trump let three spy balloons just sail across us while he was in office, because the Republicans, I don't know, tried to say something about shooting down the balloon.
They were like, shut up.
Trump let three of these things just all pop over.
That's so lame.
He could have done, like, mid-video propaganda.
Yeah, could you imagine the party he would have had at the White House?
He would have had them bring the balloon to the White House, like, look what I shot down.
But no, he just let them sail on over.
Well that was the thing was that like everyone was saying that Biden not shooting it down immediately made him a pussy and a bitch and he sucked and he's weak.
He didn't want it to fall on Americans.
Right.
And then there was this, so when it got shot down, Biden got off of Air Force One and basically, he gets off Air Force One and he walks over, basically just give a statement to the assembled press that are waiting for him.
And he was like, on Wednesday, I told them to shoot the damn thing down.
And they said they would shoot it down as soon as it was saved.
And they shot it down today.
So that's great.
So it's been shot down, it's done, Biden out.
And then Biden walks away and they all yell at him, questions that he ignores.
But the thing that was so funny about it was like QAnon and right-wing grifters were like, Biden said to shoot it down Wednesday and was overruled by the military.
Who's really running America?
And it's like, no, that's not what Biden said.
Biden said, I want that thing shot down.
And then the military said, here are our list of options.
And then Biden was go with that one.
Like, if Biden had literally said, shoot that thing down, over land, fucking do it, they would have done it.
And then when it killed five or six people, they would have been like, well, Biden just got some people killed because he was a fucking cranky old man and a lunatic.
And then the Republicans would have been like, why didn't you shoot it down over water, you fucking lunatic?
What's wrong with you, Biden?
Poor little Jimmy just got smushed by a weather balloon.
He's depressed.
So, I mean, like...
It was very obvious what Biden said, and there was no ambiguity to it, but QAnon and these people just have to try to make a story out of something.
They were just like, who's really running America?
It's like the president.
The president.
The balloon.
Yeah.
The balloon's running America.
The balloon.
It was for a week.
You're not wrong.
We all hail the balloon.
It was.
All that reminds me is that, uh, so like Marjorie Taylor Greene wanted to take a balloon to the State of the Union.
And apparently they, they asked Lauren Boebert, like if you, they asked Lauren Boebert if she was going to do anything at the State of the Union.
And Boebert said, not bring a giant white balloon.
So the Bobert Green catfight continues apace.
So instead she wore a very expensive stole.
She wore fur.
She wore big white fur to dress like a balloon.
I'm not making that up.
She dressed... She dressed like the balloon?
Yes!
No, I'm not joking.
She said she wore...
She, she wore that big white puffy outfit.
In honor of the balloon.
Yeah, to remind people of the balloon.
She said that's why she did it.
And it's like, why?
Yeah.
Never forget.
You made me laugh.
I'm thinking of the POW MIA flag, but instead of like the American soldier trapped behind barbed wire, it's just the balloon.
It's just a giant balloon.
And there's like a fighter jet in the background about to shoot it down.
And it's just like We're making it.
That's your guys' shirt.
Yeah, and where it says POW, it says POP, and where it says MIA, it just says BOL for balloon.
Remember the fallen.
Remember what they took from us.
Oh god.
Yeah.
Fucking balloon.
And then there was a Republican in the House of Representatives who got in front of the body and gave a speech that the balloon was so disgraceful that Biden and Harris need to resign in shame.
Don't know about all that.
Yeah, it was awesome.
The guy gave a speech and he was like, this balloon terrorized people from Kansas City to South Carolina, and the American people cannot deal with such weak leadership.
I call on President Biden and Vice President Harris to resign immediately!
It's like, yeah, they're gonna get right on that.
Biden's gonna get in front of the American people and say, I failed you.
The balloon's existence has proven me unfit for the job.
I will resign the presidency tomorrow.
We're gonna have President McCarthy by next week.
You got it, bud.
Also, I feel that's an unfair characterization of the balloon.
I think that was the most fun we've had as a nation all year.
Yeah.
It's been quite a while.
We know we're getting spied on by literally everybody, so it was fun.
Maybe as a nation, but for you as a resident of America's burning hellscape that is Phoenix, you guys got Kevin Durant.
You're going to win the NBA title now.
Oh yeah, I hear that's big news.
Even our mayor said something about it, so I'm like, oh, something's happening.
Basically, your sports ball team, when it comes to throwing the orange ball through the hoop, you're probably going to go to the finals now and may very likely win them.
So you get to look forward to having the Super Bowl and perhaps the NBA championship in your neck of the woods very shortly.
Oh, that's going to get brazy.
We get so excited when our teams actually do well.
The Cardinals almost won the Super Bowl once and we straight up renamed our high schools after them.
Literally.
Oh my god.
Yeah, so Phoenix, potentially good at sports for the first time in forever.
As Haley said, the Cardinals nearly won the title and that was good enough for festivities across the land.
Yeah.
That's great.
The one thing that's really funny is that the one time I can remember Phoenix or Arizona winning something was the one time Phoenix slash Arizona should not have won the thing because you pricks beat the New York Yankees after 9-11.
Oh, I've heard of that.
I've heard of that.
We were the big disappointment.
The one time America rallies around the Yankees, the hated Yankees, because they're doing it for New York after 9-11.
And in the World Series, the fucking Diamondbacks, who have no fans, no one cares about them.
They fucking beat them.
They beat the Yankees.
They took the title.
Fuck you, 9-11!
Nothing!
Nothing for you assholes!
We're gonna make giant rings with Curt Schilling and Randy Johnson as giant planes flying into buildings.
Because that's what we think of you, New York, you piece of shit.
If anybody has a shirt from that game, DM me.
Haley wants some Diamondbacks Championship apparel from 2001.
Yes.
Oh, great.
So yeah.
That's hilarious.
Yeah.
So beyond all that and the catfights in the State of the Union, we also, the actual kind of meat and potatoes of the whole thing was that Right now, Biden basically called out Republicans for being like, you know what we would like to do?
Abolish Social Security and Medicare.
And Republicans are like, no we don't!
What are you talking about?
Liar!
Liar!
And now, shockingly, our corporate-controlled media, which sucks, usually, is actually posting the videos of Republicans being like, yeah, Social Security, fucking destroy it.
We hate it.
We want old people on the streets starving to death.
That's the Republican view.
MAGA, let's do this.
So yeah, that was awesome.
That's where we're going to be in the 2024 presidential campaign is Biden running on maintaining Social Security and Medicare for old people and Donald Trump calling Joe Biden a pedophile.
Oh, and the 2020 election was stolen by mules and Dominion and whatever else.
And Trump will probably be indicted by that point.
And sleepy.
Don't forget sleepy.
I love politics.
It's sleepy.
Oh, and the last thing I remember was that we had our Twitter files, congressional hearings, where the Republicans tried to make it out that Twitter did the bad, awful things.
And I think his name is Clay Higgins, but there was some Republican who literally told the Twitter representatives who were there that they knowingly and willingly conspired to screw with Trump in the election.
And them saying knowingly was very interesting to me because Q loves the term knowingly.
And Clay was like, this is the hearings part.
The arrests come later.
Your lawyers know about all that.
So we have a literal representative of the U.S.
House telling people, you're going to get arrested at some ill-defined point in the future.
He's basically a QAnon supporter at this point.
Just like, oh, there's going to be justice in a storm.
While the Republicans were doing all that shit, AOC was pointing out the libs of TikTok is still allowed on Twitter, even after getting people to phone in bomb threads to Boston Children's Hospital.
Sure are.
Maxwell Frost, the Gen Z representative from Florida, and a Democrat.
We have to specify that any Florida politician is a Democrat.
Everyone probably thinks that Florida is just this fascist hellscape, which it mostly is.
There are some blue, little drips of blue in that sea of red.
Maxwell Frost got a Twitter representative to read into the record that Donald Trump was called a pussy ass bitch by Chrissy Teigen on Twitter.
And that was a tweet that Trump Yeah, from one that's been taken down because it hurt his feelings.
Yes.
It hurt my feelings, calling me a pussy ass bitch.
That's literal First Amendment censorship.
That's literally the government trying to take away your right to talk bad about them.
But weirdly, weirdly Republicans didn't care about all that because they want to know why Cat and Turd's been shadow banned.
They want to see Hunter's dick.
Yes.
It's all about Hunter's hog.
That's America's trenchant political discourse.
That should be our new flag.
Our new flag is just a coked out Hunter Biden with his dong just sticking out.
The picture of him in the tub passed out with the crash pipe.
That's my new flag.
That's my president.
That's my president.
Yeah.
Yes.
And now it's time for your mailbag.
mailbag. Oh.
Our listeners got questions, we got answers.
It's time for Q&A!
Cleodora Silvestri, the Hellworld Grand Inquisitor, asks, imagine for a moment that Ron Watkins, Michael Protzman aka Negative48, and Mike Lindell are characters in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
What is their stand and what are their unique powers?
Oh god.
Alright, so I've never seen JoJo, but sorry, I'll let you go.
I'm just gonna say, I know that it's a drippy show.
Everybody's got drip in that show.
That's the only thing I know about the show.
And Ron Watkins has no drip, so I don't know.
I can't see him in the show.
Yeah, it's like beautiful.
I want to watch it.
Yeah, Sarge is showing me a photo.
What is this?
Is this a Blu-ray?
Am I looking at a... No, this is a... This is the fifth JoJo, Giorno Giovanni.
Oh my god, it's so pretty.
The sixth JoJo is Jolene.
So you're like an expert.
I have seen all of it.
I am a little behind.
So, all the stands after season 3 are named after bands or songs?
The bad guy in Part 7, Steel Ball Run, because each big part has a different name.
So, the bad guy in Part 7 is the President of the United States of America, and his stand is My Funny Valentine.
I don't know what My Funny Valentine does, because I haven't finished reading Part 7.
So, Ron, so, the rules are this.
All the stands are named after bands or a song, and then maybe has a related power, but like, there's a stand called Moody Blues, and it just lets you have post-cognition, it just rewinds, like, you can see what's happened somewhere.
Then there's one called Beach Boy, and it is a literal fishing pole that can,
the hook and the line can move through things and like literally rip a person's heart out.
So, here we are, Born to be Kings.
There's one called Killer Queen, and that one, like Killer Queen has a lot of powers.
But, so what would Ron's be?
Ron's stand would be something like, God, it'd probably be like Daft Punk
because he thinks he's super into computers and he's a programmer.
And it would let him impersonate people on the internet.
And what were the... Was negative 48 on the chopping block?
Negative 48, yeah, he's the JFK guy.
Yeah, he would be the Dead Kennedy.
That one lines itself.
And it would, oh, it would let him do something with, like, rewriting the, like, using num- no, it'd be something with numbers, and I don't know what.
Like, the stands get weirder the longer the show goes on, and...
Then he has to reset it so the stans get less weird because they got too weird there after a while.
Mike Lindell's would just be a pillow.
It'd be a song about sleeping and it would just be a pillow.
It'd be the Mike Lindell song that he makes for his commercials.
He has those commercials where he has this little jingle.
It'd be Inter Sandman.
Or just Sandman, because I don't think that's taken.
That's perfect.
You get this show.
Geez, I don't know what it would do.
That's the thing, like, the stands get so weird.
It would knock people out!
It would give you a discount code to my pillow.
What are you talking about?
It would just be discount codes on what I understand to be pretty okay pillows.
My partner's mom had one, and she wanted to make sure we were okay using it.
She goes, I know you guys are really political, and we're like, Fucking care like you already paid for it.
About my pillow.
Yeah, it was my pillow.
And she knew enough to knew that we might not like it.
And we're like, I was like, we don't actually care.
Like he's gonna get brought down anyway.
But yes, I do know quite a bit about JoJo's.
I have even more JoJo's up on the shelf over there.
Um, it's so for Hayley, it's almost all on Netflix.
Um, you can watch it.
It gets so weird.
Seasons one, two, they break it into multiple- I like weird.
Okay.
Season one is very short and is not very good.
It is nine episodes.
Season two is- I hear that.
That's why I don't watch it.
Season two is broken up into two parts.
It is better.
So if you start on season four on Netflix, Stardust Crusaders, That's when the stands show up.
There are no stands before that, but the stands show up and you get right into it.
And it is worth starting from there and then going back once you know the characters and watching them.
But every season, the JoJo is a new JoJo.
It's a generational thing.
And then- Like Degrassi.
Yeah.
But eventually, in part six, With Jolene, she is in a giant prison in Florida called Green Dolphin Street Prison.
Everyone in the prison starts getting stans, so everyone's trapped in together with superpowers.
But like really weird superpowers.
Like the ability to make other people shrink to the size of a doll.
Um, that is, uh, the stand, uh, God, they, so when they translate it into English, they change them ever so slightly for legal reasons.
So that's the stand Cry Cry Dolls and not Goo Goo Dolls.
And then there's, instead of, uh, the main bad guy stand is, uh, White Snake.
So they changed it to Pale Snake.
Um, but you catch on pretty quickly.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
So anyway, this has been JoJo Corner.
And I did answer your question at some point.
Yeah, Jesus Christ.
Yeah, thank God.
Okay.
Yeah, no shit.
I was just like, I was just giving you a rope.
I was just letting you do it.
It's pretty.
I like the art.
Yeah, the art only gets better as time goes.
What's so funny?
What's so funny is, like, literally every time Sarge has held up something for you to comment on, I've been looking on Twitter for the next question.
I never see the JoJo art.
So, anyways.
It's just flamboyant.
I like it.
It's colorful.
Ken Stanchik says, Howdy, partners!
Freddy Potatoes wants to know what is your favorite Westerns?
And we have a picture of Freddy Potatoes wearing a hat and a handkerchief as a scarf.
Freddy Potatoes is the adorable dog from last week.
I don't know if Haley's seen him.
Yeah, Freddy wants to know what Westerns we like.
I'm not gonna lie.
Go ahead.
You want to go ahead?
Because I don't want to be negative.
I don't like Westerns.
There are some good Westerns out there.
All the really old ones are pretty fucking racist and don't age well.
But there was that Coen Brothers one on The Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix.
That one is very good.
The What was the remake with Matt Damon and... God, the main character's name is like Rooster.
It's a remake.
I like it, but I can't remember the name of the fucking movie.
Matt Damon's in it.
It's pretty good.
I totally saw it and I was just like, it was mid to May.
I don't know.
I think they're all kind of boring.
It's a good modern Western.
You know what?
Western...
Go ahead.
You know, at Western Rocks, even though I don't like it, is Tombstone because we have Tombstone in Arizona.
And, like, the whole town kind of just thinks they're in that movie.
Like, legit.
People move to that town because they're like, that's my favorite movie.
So they have a weird energy there that I like.
My favorite Western is Arizona itself.
The problem with most Westerns is they look at it as some sort of weird golden age and don't engage with all the rampant misogyny and racism and genocide.
Or they think it's cool.
Yeah.
Tombstone is pretty good because they, like, I mean, that's a pretty good Western, honestly.
You're not wrong.
But yeah, it's rough.
You have to engage with it as this genre that sees this golden age of America and think of it as an alternate universe, really, because they do not engage with the truth at any point.
But that's true of a lot of movies.
So I don't know.
If you like Westerns, there are some good ones out there.
Oh, who's the big guy?
I'm sure there's one.
There's all the old ones.
Why can't I think of his name?
I'm just blanking on it.
The Duke.
Sarge's inability to answer and name these things is the Duke?
Yeah.
Clint Eastwood?
Clint Eastwood.
No, not Clint Eastwood.
John Wayne.
John Wayne is a draft dodger.
Fuck him.
John Wayne.
That's my... He draft dodged in World War II.
Yeah.
He draft dodged in World War II.
So fuck that guy.
Yeah.
My answer that actually is probably correct to the question would be The Quick and the Dead.
You get Gene Hackman chewing up scenery, Sharon Stone, young Leonardo DiCaprio.
It's a crazy movie about a quick-draw tournament where people are You're being murdered.
You're like signing up to die in this event and it's a crazy sort of noir western.
Does Rango count?
I just googled westerns and I see Rango in there.
I'll give it to you, sure.
Does Back to the Future 3 count?
No.
No?
Back to the Future 3?
Rango, yes.
Back to the Future 3, no.
What genre is Back to the Future 3?
Sci-fi.
Sci-fi slash western.
Sci-fi.
Fuck you.
Sci-fi.
Fuck!
Alright, you got hard opinions on it so I'll give it to you.
I can't get that one.
Cool.
And my cheating answer, because it's the actual best thing ever, is Deadwood, the television series.
Deadwood is fucking incredible.
Watch all three seasons of it.
Watch all three seasons of it.
Get mad that HBO cancelled it, because fuck HBO for cancelling it.
It was a bunch of legal stuff in the background.
Yeah, but whatever, fuck them.
They should have kept it going.
True Grit was the movie you were thinking of.
True Grit, thank you.
The remake of True Grit, not the John Wayne original.
Oh, City Slickers!
You guys know City Slickers?
We are moving on!
There will be no more dumb westerns yelled for no reason.
SnorlaxCPap asks, when Marjorie Taylor Greene becomes president, are we going to go Mad Max or Escape from New York style?
Both.
It depends where you live.
I'll get Mad Max.
People that live around you will get Escape from New York.
I'm going with Escape from LA.
That was the funner movie.
Escape from LA was the sequel.
Yeah, I mean, it's a sequel in that it features Snake Blisken, but it bears almost no relation to it.
They surf a giant wave into L.A.
because L.A.' 's separated from the coastal America because of an earthquake, and it's just a no-man's land.
I'm going to escape from L.A.
style.
Was that the one that had the satellite at the end, where they just turned off the world?
Or was that New York?
Maybe?
I don't remember the actual impetus to escape from LA.
They hire Snake to go in and do a thing that only Snake Plissken can do.
Which one do they make him think he's been hit with a deadly virus and he's got like 48 hours to complete the mission?
Probably Escape from L.A., the second one.
It's been a very long time since I've seen these.
Because QAnon and all those people love talking about predictive programming, and I've never heard anyone bring this up.
But there's a scene from Escape from L.A., which is now what I know to be the movie, where Plissken is trying to cajole people into working with him on the mission, and he's trying to bribe them.
And the person he's trying to bribe is, oh, you're trying to give me those greenbacks?
Overmore.
There's, there's, there's Freddy Potatoes.
I just saw it.
It's cute.
But, uh, like the guy says, are you trying to give us those greenbacks?
And then Plissken says, no, bluebacks.
And then they're like, oh shit.
Like the real money, the blue money.
And then smash cut to like 20 years later, a hundred dollar bills are blue.
And I was just like, Oh my God, like if any of these idiots ever had any culture, they could totally go predictive programming on that scene.
And being like, Oh, Snake Plissken predicted that we would have blue money and it would be the real money.
And now we do have it.
Oh, because they, they love that shit.
They're always looking at the Simpsons because the Simpsons predicted 9-11 and blah, blah, blah, all that stuff.
Like there's that, there's that whole cottage industry of the Simpsons predicted everything in our world.
So thank you for that question.
Pancake Peasant asks, what is something comic book fans know that would shock those who aren't plugged into that hobby?
God, this is a Sarge-heavy mailbag.
Thank God you're the one who showed up this week and not Elle.
Elle would know this one too, just not that JoJo's one.
Shock something?
I don't know.
Probably the battle over the name for Captain Marvel, because DC had a Captain Marvel and Marvel wanted to get it back.
I don't know how much it would surprise people to find out that, like, Jack Kirby designed, like, all these characters that you know and love and then died penniless.
The same with how they treated the creators of Superman.
The same with the co-creator of Batman.
He didn't get recognized until, like, 30 years after his death.
And now, if you see Batman and stuff in the credits, it'll say, Batman created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger.
Bill Finger, the only time while he was alive his name was associated with Batman was on an episode of the Adam West TV show.
And no one knew until a million years later that he created the Joker and all the iconic villains.
Something that would actively shock people.
I don't know.
A lot of these things are just kind of known.
But, like, just how the industry... Oh!
That we have superhero comics because of gay panic.
So, uh, when Seduction of the Innocent came out, and the guy who wrote that fucking hack piece of book testified before Congress, he got basically every other comic book banned.
So the only thing that comic book publishers could publish and sell anymore was superhero comics.
So we have superhero comics.
We have all these Marvel movies and everything now, because 50 years ago, this homophobe testified before Congress, and it was probably longer than that, and got everything else banned.
And we would have a way more horror, mystery, and crime Published, but they, like, they literally wrote that comics could not depict criminals outsmarting the police.
Like, that was in the Comics Code Authority for decades.
That was just one of the many tenets, because they hated all the horror and crime comics that they were.
And that's why The original Batwoman and Batgirl were created so that Batman and Robin wouldn't be accused of being gay.
That is a thing that I don't know if a lot of people know about.
We have this superhero obsession because for like 40 plus years the only thing newsstands could carry and that could be published were superhero comics.
So there we go.
Man, you landed that plane.
It was real rocky there for a while, then finally, finally the plane came down.
It was, whew, boy, that was... I was trying to think of something, like, actually interesting and not that, like, Wolverine's name is James.
Thank you.
Thank God.
And our final question from the actual mailbag is from Let's All Look at Ducks, and how do you think the Q crowd will vote in the primary?
Trump, that's really not even a question.
It's Trump.
Trump and Kerry.
Yeah.
Oh, well, they, they're going to want Carrie to be the vice presidential nominee.
You think she'll be?
You think?
I really, I doubt it a lot because I feel like, I feel like Trump might want her cause like she, cause again, he's incredibly vain and he wants the prettiest woman to be his vice president.
But I just feel like, I feel like Jared and like his retinue of people he listens to, Are going to tell him that like, if you pick her, we have to cross Arizona off our list and getting those 10, 12 electoral votes would be really nice.
Having those in play would be sweet.
So, uh, maybe not tie an anchor around you that is like bad that way.
I think, uh, I think the Dakota governor lady is probably like the safest, most boring pick for him.
Because Tulsi Gabbard was a Democrat until recently, so I think she's a little too controversial.
Blake's a loser.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene is... Oh man, if he picked Marjorie Taylor Greene, I would be the happiest clam in the sea.
Do you think she's actually hooking up with McCarthy?
I just heard that rumor.
No, I'm kidding.
I just heard that rumor today.
I'm sayin' it.
That man's layin' it.
I'm laughing mostly because there's that voice actor guy who's on YouTube, like ProZR or whatever his name is.
ProZD.
ProZD, and he has that video where he's like, oh, they falkin', and it's just, that's all I could think of was when you said that.
But yeah, I just think that Neome is the one who can say, I was against lockdowns, North Dakota did great under COVID, I'm boring, I'm a lady, vote for me.
She's like female pets, basically.
She ticks those boxes.
Whereas if he picks Lake, he loses Arizona, and they don't want to do that.
Tulsi Gabbard is way too controversial for his troglodyte QAnon base.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene, is oh my god like uh Mike Rothschild, Travis Few, all those guys are gonna be like pulling up in their Lambos to their conventions and like me I probably I probably get like a like a bonus check like probably something happens to me where I get to sell a book or something because it's like if Marjorie Taylor Greene is actually the nominee for vice president like holy shit like I'm gonna it's gonna be like every
I said this, like, last week or the week before about, like, her being potentially the Vice President, is it's just, like, this year and probably until, like, mid of 2024, no one in the media talks to me.
I get DMs from very few people very often.
Election season rolls around and they tell you, like, hey, Mike Raines, how you doing, buddy?
Can we talk QAnon with you?
And I'm like, yeah, we can talk about QAnon.
It's my life.
It's what I do.
So it's like, oh my God, Marjorie Taylor Greene fucking in the ballpark.
It's like, suddenly I'm the belle of the ball.
Suddenly I'm going to get quoted in all kinds of news articles.
Because like, there's only so much press that Marc Andre Argentino and Travis View and Mike Rothschild can do.
Someone has to go for the lower tier schmucks.
Yeah, the small expert, you know, the niche expert.
Yeah, Haley, Haley's gonna have a gold boat on her on the front yard.
I mean, like, for sure.
Like, it's like, we're all we America loses, we win on the Marjorie Taylor Greene V Pick.
It would be hilarious, but I don't see it happening.
No, people don't talk to me here.
Only a few people do.
Oh, God, I'm gonna I'm gonna send them your way.
I'm gonna let them know.
I send people to Dapper Gander every now and then and Frederick Brennan.
I can't answer this anymore.
Haley, her ears in a white ring watch. She's on top of shit.
She fucking knows this shit.
She knows this shit cold, god damn you. Let's talk to her.
Blow her up.
But, um, and that brings us to our Chairman Walkman question of the week, which is, uh,
which Q drop do you think is the peak of Q? And, um...
I can't answer this anymore. We're not in them like we were.
Yeah, I don't know if Haley has a swing here, because I know my answer.
No, I literally only know the first one by, like, because, I mean, I've read, you know, it's like, you know, a few of them, but, like, only the first one by, like, Hart.
Right.
They're all in one ear, out the other.
Yeah.
My favorite Q drop for, like, the kind of, like, that stuff, outside the first 72, because the first 72 are the spy novel, the bullshit, And then at the very end, he's like, Oh, right.
We conquered Saudi Arabia.
All that stuff about Hillary was just a jokey joke.
Okay.
Everyone's good.
Now we can reset the narrative.
My favorite one is QDROP 153.
That's the Moloch one where like literally he declared that he's like, why did Trump won for president?
What was in it for him?
And, um, He says, did he want to make the U.S.
world a better place for his family and those good and decent people who've been long taken advantage of?
Perhaps you can outstomach the thought of mass murders occurring to satisfy Moloch.
And it's just this long diatribe about how Trump's like the greatest hero in the world.
And then it includes this shit about how, um, why hours after the election did seven people travel to an undisclosed location to hold a very private and highly secured slash guarded meeting?
I love that bit of world building.
Who were the seven people?
Where did they go?
What did they talk about?
I mean, it's just like the fact that he didn't say, why did Obama, Soros, Clintons, Gates, he was like, why did seven people?
And it's like, well, just like letting people spin that yarn for themselves.
Why did they make that up?
And all that kind of stuff.
And, um, The other thing in that Q drop that I love so much is that he made it a big point that not giving a concession speech is fucking suspect as shit.
He says, why didn't HRC give a concession speech?
When was the last time a presidential candidate didn't personally give a concession speech?
And the thing that's funny about this is, A, Hillary conceded the morning after the election, like literally the night when it looked like she was going to lose.
John Podesta ran out to the podium and was like, everybody just go home.
We know what's happening.
We know what is likely to happen, but we'll address it tomorrow.
Sorry, everybody, that America is now going to be in the grip of supreme evil for four years at least.
Yeah, this sucks.
Sorry, everyone.
Catch you tomorrow.
And I've actually posted this and been like, Hillary gave a concession speech.
Here's links to it.
And she did.
She conceded like 10 in the morning the next day.
And all these QAnon people were like, Q was talking about not conceding the night of the election.
That's what he meant.
It's like, well, that's not what he said.
He said she didn't give a concession speech.
Like I would think the communications manager for the most important military operation in the world would speak clearly and not fuck up like this.
But the best part about it is it's like, He's like, why didn't she concede?
What is the nefarious meaning of it?
Smash cut to Donald Trump in the year 2023.
I still have not conceded the 2020 election!
I was screwed and ripped off and it's a bunch of bullshit!
And it's like, but you said not conceding is bad.
Why didn't you concede, Donnie?
And, um, the last part of this thing, um, I'll try to be shorter than the JoJo question, but, uh, the last part of the question.
Yeah, I was the one who's gone off the rails.
I know, I'm kidding with you.
The last part I love about this Q-drop is the delicious little dash of racism at the end, where he throws in this thing about the border being open and unsecured.
And, um, he was like, what happens if the border remained open and the MSM continued to brainwash?
At what point do patriots and hardworking men and women become the minority?
That's right.
Them lazy immigrants are just going to pour over the border until you hardworking people, read white, are no longer the majority of America.
Thank God Trump built the wall and the MSM can't brainwash anymore.
And now we're safe.
Ah, praise be.
So yeah, Qdrop 153.
The best.
Truly the greatest.
So what are you guys looking forward to?
That's our final question as always.
Super Bowl!
Super Bowl whatever number!
Go Chiefs!
Go Chiefs!
57!
57!
Super Bowl 57!
Chiefs forever!
So what is your confidence level on a scale of 1-10 going into the game?
Five or six.
We have a lot of hurt players.
The Eagles have the exact same record as us.
And while the NFC is weaker, I don't know the Chiefs.
There's my dog.
The Chiefs have been, you know, Wildly inconsistent, especially the first half, so I don't know.
And we didn't play the Eagles, so I don't watch a ton of football.
I have not watched the Eagles play once this year, so I don't know what they actually look like.
They're just an evil shadow hovering, looming over you.
Yeah.
I'm gonna give my confidence level a 6.
Obviously, I want the Chiefs to win, but They can be, they can just like do things that are just baffling.
Like obviously we beat the Cincinnati with like three seconds left.
So, you know, I never count the other team out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Super Bowl.
I'm looking for a Super Bowl.
Yes.
Haley, what are you looking forward to?
Not the Super Bowl, because I don't know much about sports.
What makes Eagles fans climb poles more?
I learned about this.
Is it when they win or lose?
Typically when they win.
There's a big conversation about how you guys are not greasing the street poles in Phoenix.
Yeah, this is how I learned.
Because, like, Philadelphians are like spider monkeys that will just climb anything should you give them the chance to secure purchase upon that object.
So, yes.
Well, I hope, no offense, that they win then, because I think it'd be funny.
Offense!
I'm sorry.
I don't actually care.
Whoever wins is fine.
But actually what I'm looking forward to is my friend sent me this video literally in the middle of us recording and it's a video about how there's a conspiracy about Atlantis and El Dorado in the Grand Canyon.
So I'm going to watch that after we're done.
I'm looking forward to it.
I know, I'm like, I wish I could click on this.
That's delicious.
I love it.
Right up my alley.
I will back Sarge's play and being a fan of the upcoming Super Bowl.
And I am looking forward to the game remaining under 51 points.
That's right.
I'm a miserable piece of shit who bets unders.
I love betting unders.
I think this game is going to be very rock fight-y, because Philadelphia runs the ball a ton, and people think the Chiefs are this fast-strike offense that scores touchdowns lightning quick, and it's really not the way they are anymore.
The Chiefs are more like a 10-play drive, chew up, chew up, Mahomes converts a couple of key third downs, and then they finally get the touchdown to Kelsey at the end.
So I just think that this is going to be a kind of slow-moving game, and Like, I push on 2724 being the final score, which is a lot of points.
So if the final score is like 2421, I win!
So I definitely am in favor of the under, so that's where I'm going with this, and that's what I'm looking forward to.
So that concludes, hopefully, a successful episode of The Adventures in Hellworld.
