	The Adventures in Hellworld podcast talks in depth about QAnon, which means we have to talk about all kinds of child abuse and violence against people.
	Listener discretion advised.
	Hello, everybody.
	I am Mike Rains, a.k.a.
	Poker and Politics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
	This week, I am joined by Sarge.
	Still joined by Sarge, before they make the joke.
	I'm here.
	I'm always here, you fuckers.
	And the mysterious El.
	Wagwan, my beautiful babies.
	Verily, Wagwan, it is I, El, the White Jamaican, and I don't speak with an accent.
	Thank you very much.
	But I will still caution you against messing with them street gals, if you know what I mean.
	Big ups to Jah.
	I saw an excellent TikTok.
	It's a guy who, I wish I remembered his name, but it's a guy who is, like, he lives in Japan and is fluent in Japanese, but he is white.
	I'm not sure if he's an expat or what.
	But he does his TikTok videos, like, going around and being very enthusiastic about mundane things while speaking the language, but he doesn't put any Japanese stank on it.
	So, he'll just be like, OH!
	KAWAII!
	And just, like, point at the thing.
	But, like, he's, like, incredibly fluent, so sometimes he'll just, like, go on a jag and, like, talk to people who are playing at a claw machine or whatever.
	But just a perfect white guy accent, but perfect fluent Japanese.
	Such a sweet gimmick.
	I was trying to think, like, what would be the best thing to do that for?
	I would think being in Quebec and just being, like, doing perfect American-French-Canadian, like, that would be so jarring.
	Because I've heard that, like, French people can't even understand people from Quebec and vice versa, because it's just, like, their dialect is just so bizarre between the two nations.
	And then you just hit them with a third take where you're just like, oh yeah, this is the American version of Canadian-French.
	How you like them apples?
	I think I've heard it compared to, like, Cajun.
	And I'm having trouble even picturing what Cajun would sound like if you took the accent out of it.
	That would be wild stuff.
	I love language.
	I'm such a nerd.
	Like, the amount of TikTok I watch that's just polyglots talking to people and surprising them is, like, enough to embarrass anyone.
	Although luckily, I guess, question mark, I've moved off of that recently and I've been watching a lot of Kaki no Sukai clips and just... Oh man, yeah.
	Enjoying essentially the Japanese jackass with guys like getting paddled in the balls.
	One of them, they brought in a monkey to kick and then slap this guy.
	I was like, what the fuck?
	Monkey kick.
	I was like, monkey kick is intense.
	Yeah.
	That that sounds like a thing where that's like a hard pass.
	We're like, we're going to have this animal and animals are almost always ridiculously powerful and it's going to hit you.
	I'd be like, no, no, it's not.
	I don't care.
	That's not even the most powerful thing they have kicked them.
	Whatever they do their 24 hour Batuu game, somebody gets a Thai kick by a Thai kickboxer.
	And they come out in the full regalia, doing their little dance and stuff, and just slowly walk over to them to build the suspense, and then they just, like, get them to stand still for a second, and then KABLAM!
	Right to the thigh, and oh, it's just, they're just sobbing.
	They're just on the ground, just, like, getting cut.
	Like, oh god, it's so incomparable, the pain!
	Oh man, there is, there is nothing.
	I don't think there's anything that I could possibly be involved in where the stakes would be, I'd be willing to wager like kick to the thigh from a professional kickboxer like that and be like, no, I would have, I don't know, like $20 million.
	I'd have my options big win, like life altering money or generational money or receive kick to the thigh from a professional kickboxer.
	It would have to be that aggressive of a promise to me for me to be willing to accept that.
	They always drop.
	Would it shock you to know that some of those guys are retiring this year after 25 years of doing this nonsense?
	I mean, yeah, they're all getting older, that's for sure.
	I remember, like, Johnny Knoxville had, like, a match at, like, WrestleMania, and people were like, if Johnny Knoxville falls wrong, he could actually die, because he's damaged himself so egregiously.
	But they, like, kid gloved him as aggressively as possible, and he, like, took, like, yeah.
	I think he's 51 now?
	Oh, yeah.
	He's very old and apparently incredibly beaten up from doing that show.
	So, like, he is not in great shape.
	Fake news, it's all CGI.
	Yes.
	Oh yeah, enough talking about, you know what, I'm cutting you off.
	We're done.
	We're done talking about these stupid idiots damaging themselves because this week has actually been a surprisingly juicy week for QAnon related and adjacent bullshit.
	So it's time for us to get into our very personal amuse-bouche.
	It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
	Get ready for the amuse-bouche.
	And of course I say intensely personal, not to us, because we don't care.
	I mean, it generates content for us, but we're not involved.
	We care, but we don't care about this shit.
	I don't really care about this shit.
	I mean, aside from being abused by it.
	But this week, we've split the items for the week into the bouche is going to be personal troubles for individuals, and then the news headlines are going to be bigger, larger troubles for many peoples.
	Of which there are several, enough that we had to make that divide.
	Yeah.
	And top of the boosh, headline, or I guess booshline quote-unquote news, Twitter has been on some shit, and the Twitter fighting continues.
	This week the spate between IbtiG and Oli, what's his last name?
	Olly Alexander.
	Olly Alexander took a, well, would you believe it, considering they're GOP folks, took a underage sex sort of turn.
	Mike, what's going on with the underage sex involved, or sex scandal, I should say, between Olly Alexander and Earth.
	Us, the kind people of the world.
	That's basically it.
	Welcome to Earth.
	Yeah, but basically what happened was Milo, our boy Milo, who formerly of the very successful
	Ye campaign, although recently I think Ye said something to the effect of, I just want
	to be left alone.
	And apparently Ye 2024 is now treading water at best.
	But Milo decided that it's time to air some dirty laundry about his fellow right wing
	grifters and he posted or he leaked what are confirmed texts from an underage man saying
	that early Alexander was asking him for dick pics when he was not of age for that to be
	a thing that could happen.
	And Alexander originally denied these things, and then he made posts about how he wished he was just a sort of chaste man who didn't flirt with anybody, which was kind of like, flirting with people is okay, asking people below the age of 18 to see their genitals, not okay!
	Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't something come out from him complaining that the person in question was not sending the material for his quote-unquote spank bank?
	Yes.
	Yes!
	So it goes beyond like a third-hand account from, you know, trusted, reputable source Milo.
	Like, the receipts go back to Ollie being like, yeah, 15-year-old kid wouldn't send me anything I could jerk off to, what a prick.
	You're not paraphrasing very much.
	No.
	And the other thing was, is that these texts were confirmed.
	The person who Ollie had sent them to has come forward and said, this did happen.
	Here is my phone.
	Here are the messages.
	This is all on the up and up.
	And Ollie had never, I like, uh, I like, I'm sure some of the listeners didn't know where this originated from.
	I didn't get to it until I saw Marjorie Taylor Greene, like signal boosting it and just being like, see, I told you he was a sick pedo the whole time or whatever.
	No, it's just like, wow, this is wild.
	Marjorie, we've got endless receipts on you as well.
	Like, don't... I wouldn't come too hard after.
	Oh, well, we'll put a little bit of a pin in that one.
	We'll circle back to that here at the end of the boosh.
	Yeah, so the other thing that happened here was Milo... No, Ali has stated that he is, quote unquote, battling same-sex attraction, which... Me too, buddy.
	Ali... Every time I look at Jason Momoa.
	Yeah, Ali, you're not struggling with anything.
	You're either gay or you're bi, or you're on the spectrum of attraction.
	This is just what people accept.
	Well, I mean, he may be struggling with, you know, other urges.
	You feel?
	Like, I wouldn't quite say that he might not be facing any struggles.
	It seems like soliciting underage people for nudes indicates that you're struggling with a little something there, bud.
	Yeah, it's not merely same sex is the problem there, yeah.
	If only his entire side of the street hadn't decided that the worst thing in the world to be is uh trans or gay and they've mashed it all together with uh being a pedo and he is literally soliciting same-sex pictures from an underage young man like It's it's the culture war has.
	Oh, I seem to have been hoisted upon my own petard like that.
	That is their go to satanic panic right now.
	And here he is.
	And everyone's got their receipts.
	And yeah, but they don't care.
	Again, they don't care.
	They don't care.
	I don't care.
	I don't care.
	Minute of the podcast where we have to talk about how Republicans just don't care.
	Well, they care in the sense that, like, Ali is a liability in a lot of ways, because he was heavily involved in January 6th.
	He was the one who got the fraudulent permit for the protest that was supposed to be happening after Trump's speech.
	Basically, like, when you see Alex Jones on his bullhorn begging people to go in a certain direction, he's trying to run them towards where Ali was supposed to be staging them.
	In the area where Ali got the permit for.
	But when I say fraudulent, Ali lied about the size of the crowd that he was expecting to show up in that area.
	He was like, I want to get a permit for like 200 people or whatever in this area of like Washington, D.C.
	And then he got approved for that when he knew like thousands.
	He's a fool.
	If only he had listened to President Trump back when he was still actually at office talking about how swollen his numbers for speaking engagements were.
	Yeah, yes!
	Did you see when of the 7 billion people on Earth at the time, 7.1 billion people showed up to his inauguration?
	It was wild.
	I remember those pictures.
	We watched them together.
	We watched them rolled in.
	We were like, it's amazing.
	The same visual effects artists working on that as the Lotto Coachella stage photos.
	How's that for your topical reference for the week?
	Handful of listeners who know what the fuck I'm talking about.
	There you go.
	You shot past me.
	I did hear one influencer talk about how people claim they go to Coachella, but they just show up, film it, then run away.
	They don't actually stay.
	You guys not up on the Coachella news?
	So weird.
	I thought you guys loved Coachella.
	I did hear one influencer talk about how people claim they go to Coachella, but they just show up,
	film it, and then run away.
	They don't actually stay.
	They just pretend to be there for a moment for the clout.
	Yeah, I mean, the short version of it is that Lotto poses a picture of her performance
	from the stage out over the crowd.
	And it was clear that something was up with the image because it looked like somebody had copy pasted
	a bunch of the crowd on the flanks.
	Now, there's a chance that that was some like panorama iPhone weird nonsense or whatever and I'm sure that that's what her PR team is going to say and ultimately I don't care because I don't care how popular Lotto is, whatever.
	But it is pretty funny to look out over the crowd and see the same visually distinct person making the same fist bump pretty much two people away from each other like they were twins.
	It's like that early Rick and Morty episode where they're in the simulation and Rick keeps making the crowd bigger.
	Yeah, it was wild.
	It was just like, wow, whoever did this needs to be fired from the squad.
	I mean, no more entourage for you.
	Hey, does anyone in the entourage do Photoshop?
	Yeah, kinda.
	Okay, why did you do this?
	Boom, nailed it.
	World class.
	Oh, God.
	So, anyway, let's get back on track.
	So, as far as Ali trying to look at little ding-dongs goes, is this enough to make him persona non grata?
	Like, how are the conservatives at Q and all these nutbars taking this revelation?
	Oh, QAnon is totally silent.
	I have seen nobody bring up Ali Alexander's little problem here.
	The QAnon community has just, whoop, we're not looking at this.
	Oh yeah, the people that claim to be- But yeah, children are in danger.
	Right.
	Did anyone think to ignite the Q signal?
	Right.
	You would think the people that are all about protecting the children from groomers and pederasts and predators would be all over Ali Alexander and just destroying him for this.
	Shockingly, they're totally silent because Ali's on their team.
	And they know that they're nuts and that Ali's a nut because Ali's on Infowars level craziness.
	So they know what level of grift Ali works and he's on their team.
	So they ain't going to say shit.
	But like, quote unquote, respectable Republicans.
	This is Marjorie Taylor Greene trying to distance herself from these nuts like she went at Ali and she also went at Nick Fuentes because again she's trying to she wants to be vice president so she needs to kind of distance herself from her very much friendly with Nick Fuentes past.
	Do you think that Lauren Boebert firing Jewish space laser shots at her woke her up to the reality of how toxic, for her political ambitions, the Nazi that she said was?
	I think that's possible.
	I think that she may have realized, wait a minute, I'm trying to hit this triple bank shot to become president because on some level she had to have talked to some people that are running her campaign, her image, the Marjorie Taylor Greene brand.
	And they probably told her like, look, you can't actually win the governor or a
	senator in Georgia.
	So if we're looking at like higher office, you need to do some really weird shit
	where you get the vice presidency and then, uh, uh, orange Java like strokes out a
	couple of years into, into term.
	And now, and now you're in the big chair.
	So I just think that like, she's looking at all this shit and she's like, well, I
	gotta, I gotta rebrand.
	I gotta try to do something to fix my image.
	So, um, calling because.
	Basically what happened was she accused Nick Fuentes of helping cover this up with Ali because the gentleman in question who had been solicited, he stated that Ali basically said, look, that Ali and Nick were like, we'll smooth this over.
	We'll get you a job.
	We'll take care of you.
	This will be all water under the bridge.
	You want to play ball.
	This is how you get ahead in Republican politics.
	And Fuentes has come out and denied that he's tried to help Take care of this issue for Ollie.
	And the best part about it was, is Nick Fuentes was like, everyone got what they wanted except for me.
	I'm the one person who's the victim in all of this.
	Cause you're a vocal Nazi.
	Like you're too toxic for almost everyone to touch.
	Like fucking Alex Jones tried to teach Nick Fuentes that like, listen, you can be an open Nazi.
	You just can't be an Open Nazi, and he wouldn't play ball.
	So, like, fuck him.
	Fuck all of them.
	But yeah.
	You know, I'm not a Nazi, but I do struggle with Nazi attraction.
	We've had talks about it.
	Yeah.
	Classic no and.
	No, we have not talked about that.
	And I am not a Nazi.
	L goes to meetings.
	I saw a cut of a video that I had not seen previously where they were talking about how like people are moved like people moving towards the left uh trying in the they were talking about how maybe it's not the best place for people who are used to be a Nazi and working on it it's like this is like Maybe you shouldn't dive directly into LGBTQ plus activism when six months ago you were a white supremacist and now you've like kind of changed your mind a little bit.
	Maybe just sort of go to the sidelines for a little while and decompress and then After a little while, you can re-engage in your new viewpoint.
	Maybe just don't be like... It's like when a well-meaning parent goes from, like, you know, like, overcomes their inherent homophobia that they grew up with to accept their, like, gay child, and then the child, like, goes off to college or whatever, comes back from break the first time, and the house is painted rainbow.
	And they're just like, see?
	I love the gays!
	And it's like, okay, well, you need to calm down.
	Dial it back.
	Quiet ally.
	Less ally.
	Like, let's bring it back.
	I mean, these are the people who literally have spent the past two weeks having a stroke over one Instagram ad from Dylan Mulvaney about Bud Light, and we've had Bud Light being burned and destroyed, and I think my favorite part of that was Kid Rock having a helper shoot the Bud Light cans for him because he couldn't do it himself.
	Oh, there's a lot of hilarious stuff about that.
	This was not supposed to be a Boosh topic we're talking about, but I can't remember if we covered it last week, so we can talk about it at least a little bit this week.
	Well, the thing is that over the course of all these people losing their minds over this spot, I was just like, who?
	Like, who is this person?
	And then I finally saw them, and I was like, who?
	And then I saw that they were apparently in the Book of Mormon, back before they transitioned it looked like?
	Or they certainly seemed to be mask-presenting?
	And I was like, Who?
	So my big question is, who the fuck are those ads for?
	Like, are, do, like, you know...
	Not ads. Ad. Single.
	Who is that single ad for?
	Is Jen Alpha drinking Bud Light?
	That doesn't seem correct.
	Yeah, I mean, it feels like to me that basically what happened was Dylan just got big on like TikTok or Instagram or social media.
	And again, as as Elle said, she's not in my wheelhouse.
	This is a person I would not have known about.
	We're not.
	This is the Streisand effect.
	This is a person being aggressively signal boosted to everybody when they were in a niche.
	They were like this very niche influencer.
	And yeah, you know who made out like a bandit in all of this?
	Them.
	Yes.
	Oh, my God.
	Like they're going to get so much exposure now.
	Just like that, like that now it's just like, oh my God, we can we can court
	like controversy simply by being associated with this person and like minor ass controversy,
	you know, I don't really, it really like stirs the Republican hive, but it doesn't cause like a riot.
	Yeah, but Bud Light's stock has only gone up since this happened.
	Yes, the same thing that happened with Cap when like Capra took that Nike spot,
	and everybody was like, we're gonna go buy Nike's to burn them in protest.
	And Nike was like, we don't care what happens after you buy them.
	Yeah, please.
	Oh, by all means, just buy and then destroy our merchandise.
	The video I saw the guy running over a whole parking lot of Bud Light with a steam roller.
	Bud Light's like, Yeah, okay.
	Like, you bought it.
	Like, you definitely didn't steal it.
	I saw some good ol' boy country star get tossed a Bud Light and spike it angrily on the stage and then take, like, a Coors Light or whatever that he was given and chug it.
	But meanwhile, his background band was playing another one, Bites of the Dust, by Queen.
	Yeah.
	Famously a hyper-masculine heterosexual band, Queen.
	Yeah, nothing speaks to the cishet alpha male Chad lifestyle than Freddie Mercury.
	Now very arrested man out my way in Topeka, Kansas.
	There's a video going around of him.
	Going in smashing all the bush light in a Walmart bush light.
	Right.
	Isn't even Budweiser regular.
	Isn't even made by the same brewery.
	He's smashing all this bush light.
	I don't know if he even smashed enough to count as a felony, but it seems like he maybe had another wart out for him when he decided to go to the Walmart and get himself arrested.
	Just the best and the brightest.
	Truly.
	Walmart is the Waffle House of big box stores or whatever.
	Or one-stop shops.
	Anytime you hear something crazy going on, it's just like, okay, state, likely Florida location, likely Walmart or Waffle House.
	I just, it's just so funny to me that this is their idea of virtue signaling is just being aggressively mad about the dumbest shit.
	And what was really funny was, uh, Joe Rogan and Donald Trump Jr.
	basically came out and were like, this is dumb, Bud Light's awesome.
	I'm drinking a Bud right now.
	And oh man, the, the, the blood hurt and the anger from QAnon was so delicious.
	I saw this one guy.
	Because people were talking about Donald Trump Jr.
	being like, hey guys, lay off Bud Light, who cares?
	And he was like, this is one of those moments when I realized that the Trumps don't own MAGA, and this movement is bigger than any one group.
	It's like, no it's not.
	It's Trump is Jesus.
	Your movement is literally that Donald Trump is God.
	Yeah, that's the same lie that we're always giggling about when Catholic people are just like, you know, I know the Pope said this thing, but I don't agree with that.
	And it's just like, you're not allowed to do that, mate.
	Maybe when it comes to personal opinion or movie taste or music taste or whatever, but not when it comes to interpreting the will of your God.
	Like, he's the God.
	Yeah, when they go into that room and the white smoke comes out and he's now the Pope, God literally dictated that election.
	That is what your religion states.
	It's just that clear.
	Whoever sits on that little chair is actually speaking for God on Earth.
	They are as close to Jesus as we can have in modern times, according to you.
	And it turns out apparently God really likes to keep an eye on his follower count, and kids like liberal policies, so God is starting to relax on a lot of stuff.
	God's chilling out in a moment.
	He's really starting to mellow out in his old age.
	He's like, I don't think we should reevaluate how we feel about gay people.
	Oh man, that's good.
	I really do wonder because I mean like Francis was really old when he got elected anyways and he's even talked about maybe being following Benedict and resigning which was when Benedict resigned people were like what the fuck popes can do that and someone's like yeah there was like this pope in like 500 or whatever who resigned so it it qualifies it's like yeah this guy only waited 1500 years to be the The latest Pope to resign, but now maybe he's starting a trend.
	I really wonder, like, where the Vatican goes with the next Pope.
	Is, like, is he going to be more mellow and like Francis?
	Or are they going to just, like, go nuts and just have, like, Pope Trump or whatever?
	Just, like, some right-wing lunatic.
	Just a backlash, just like a whip crack in the other direction.
	Right.
	Do we get the Q Pope?
	Do we get the Pope that's like a Q and I was like, yes, we got it.
	We got the pilled Pope.
	So good.
	Suddenly we care about Catholicism specifically.
	Yeah.
	The white hat's got us a good Pope.
	It's so good.
	Anyway, moving right along, let's go to our next official Boosh topic for the week, and that brings us back to Twitter, because the flaming wreckage of Twitter still has a lot of spicy stuff in it, apparently.
	This week, we go to, is it Matt Walsh?
	Am I getting the first name right?
	Matt Walsh was having one yesterday, as apparently his whole life got hacked, because on top of his Twitter...
	Yeah, because Boy Howdy, on top of his Twitter going absolutely buckwild among the many posts that were happening, was a photo of his phone notifying him that somebody was breaching his Twitter account.
	So, that seemed pretty weird.
	Mike, what was going on with that wall shit?
	What's the fallout from this?
	What people are assuming happened was he got hit with like a SIM card swap hack, which is how the hacker was able to get his phone the way that, like that photo you talked about indicated.
	Because after he, after quote unquote, he posted a bunch of really ridiculous shit on Twitter that everyone was like, what the fuck is going on here?
	It's crazy because some of it was pretty based.
	I mean, I'll leave it up to you to interpret which ones were based, but some of them- Would you care to repeat some of those?
	No, I will say that some of them were based, and some of them were cap.
	So it was pretty much a mixed bag.
	Yeah, so Pat.
	Yeah, so, um...
	Yeah.
	Oh, we're so old.
	Oh, we're so old.
	Yep, so Matt Walsh, the post Elle's talking about is where he says, my Twitter isn't hacked, this is just the real me coming out.
	And then it has a photo of what appears to be his phone saying, your Twitter has been hacked from a phone number.
	And then Microsoft account verification code, Google verification code, basically just letting everybody know, oh yeah, by the way, I got Matt Walsh in every way, shape, and form.
	This guy is totally fucked.
	So, I mean, obviously a bunch of wild Twitter stuff was going on, up to and including promoting their single on Spotify or whatever, wild nonsense like that, but has anything really salacious come out?
	Did they get access to emails or text messages or what have you?
	Right now, we haven't seen anything beyond what has been posted on Twitter, which was very fun watching Twitter aggressively scrub Matt Walsh's shit, which, as people have pointed out, they were on this very fast, whereas numerous celebrities got hacked, and people were doing the, hey, if you Uh, download this or click on this thing.
	You could potentially win one of, uh, 10 MacBooks.
	And among these celebrities, uh, you know, notorious, uh, Kabbalist, Patton Oswalt.
	Yes.
	Ooh, I've got the circle around my eye right now and everything.
	You can't see it, but ooh.
	Theater of the mind!
	Oh!
	I grew my hair out.
	My bangs are covering one of my eyes right now.
	It's very, very mysterious.
	It's terribly scary.
	I'm wearing a triangle and it's oriented in whatever way scares you the most.
	It's two triangles constantly spinning.
	My favorite thing about that was the Democratic Party.
	Their five-sided star is aligned where the top point is going straight up like the Dallas Cowboys.
	So that's like a normal quote-unquote good star.
	And someone tilted their star so you had the two points going up so you can make the pentagram and have Satan's horns going through it.
	And they were like, look, the Democrats are evil!
	But if you look at the Republican logo, their stars are already aligned satanically, according to QAnon and Illuminati hunters.
	It's very funny.
	So it's like, the Republicans openly Satanist.
	You have to work to make the Democrats Satanists vis-a-vis the star.
	So yeah, these people are very obsessed with alignments.
	So again, whatever way the triangle shape offends you the most, Elle's wearing it that way.
	You wanna do some numerical nonsense and make anybody look like a real dum-dum?
	How about the 14 words?
	What is 14 if not 13 plus 1?
	13 demonic acolytes plus the one mighty Satan.
	Hitler is Satan confirmed.
	Anybody can do this!
	Exactly!
	With all my mighty power, I figured it out.
	Only I know the secret truth.
	Yup, that's how this works.
	I mean, it's just talk a lot of shit and pretend like you know what you're talking about, and boom, you too can start a cult.
	That's what we say about you.
	Old secret-truth-elle.
	Knows them all.
	It's one of my many mighty powers.
	Well, hopefully this Matt Walsh thing will develop as more stuff comes out, because it would be really great for this to actually have some substantive power behind it.
	But, briefly, not even the only hacking news this week, let's just briefly on the fact that Anonymous, of all people, have jumped back into the rig.
	I forgot that I wanted to talk about this at least a little bit.
	Where have those guys been?
	They've been asleep for forever.
	Well, I guess the anonymous, like the Anon Ops, like Twitter, is just usually just focusing on like world issues stuff.
	But now they're just like, you know, they've decided to come out and just be like, hey, GOP, we're looking your way.
	To the point where I had to ask Mike Rades in our chat for the podcast, I was just like, does this anonymous thing have any juice?
	Because they claim to have a lot of people's passwords and stuff.
	So, Mike, do these Anons have any juice?
	What's going on with this?
	They claim to have MTG and Lauren Boebert stuff, among many, many others.
	So what's going on with this?
	Is this a thing that we should be excited for?
	I would love this.
	Uh, right now there doesn't appear to be a whole hell of a lot going on.
	There is some allegations that they might have Clarence Thomas' like porn hub, um, his search history.
	There was a thing about Lauren Boebert and duck penises, which, uh, Lord knows what that's all about.
	Right now, uh, people are looking at Anonymous and they're like, where's the hard hitting shit?
	Come on.
	Like right now what we've got is kind of interesting, but.
	We've seen, we've seen more interesting stuff than this.
	You got to up your game, Anonymous.
	Like let's get to that next level where we're actually getting to like damaging stuff.
	Cause finding out that Clarence Thomas is a weirdo when it comes to his porn habits, boy howdy, you're way behind the mainstream media on shit going on about Clarence Thomas right now.
	I mean, 60 or 70.
	I think the most shocking part is that he's still got porn habits.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	He's in his mid seventies and he basically, he's a crook right now is pretty much all we found out.
	Like, um, he is apparently bought and paid for by a crazy billionaire who really loves Nazis.
	And enforce Satan, as I cracked earlier.
	Yes.
	It's like, how about Anonymous?
	How about you, I don't know, find his banking records and get us some more, like, financial documents so that Clarence Thomas could be potentially indicted for crimes and maybe we could get him off the Supreme Court?
	Because just finding out whatever Whatever stuff his, like, mid-70s ass is interested in pornography, I don't really care.
	Whatever.
	He's a weirdo.
	I mean, this is a guy who is, at this moment, on a very sketchy and weird Supreme Court that could potentially outlaw gay marriage if they felt like it.
	And then some crank might come to them with interracial marriage.
	And then Clarence Thomas will be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's getting a little too close to home.
	That's a little... No, no, no, no.
	I don't have any skin in the game when it comes to crushing gay people's rights, but telling black people they can't marry white people?
	Hard pass!
	And that's my strict constitutionalist view on the issue.
	It's not because I'm married to a white woman or anything.
	I mean, it's just...
	Yeah, come on.
	Please, Anonymous, give us more.
	Let's see Anonymous rise to the level of being able to sink Madison Cawthorn's political career the way that hack did.
	Let's actually generate some damage to Republican scumbags.
	Yeah, Anonymous and or whoever was responsible for the Walsh hack, it's time to put up or shut up.
	I don't care either way.
	Speaking of shutting up, let's stop talking about our bush objects and move into our juicier news headlines.
	From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News!
	You know what surprisingly didn't take very much hacking acumen at all?
	A robust leak of government secrets specifically about United States operations in Ukraine.
	As long as you have not been living under a rock on Mars or whatever, you may have heard that A patriot to some, or like, terroristic threat to others has decided to leak a bunch of government secrets onto a Minecraft Discord server!
	And for more sweet information, time to turn it over to Mike Rains, the champion of Minecraft himself.
	Oh yeah, that's me!
	Quote-unquote, Minecraft Raids.
	I love me some Minecraft, it's that game.
	It's been about Minecraft.
	Mike and Al, do you know the name of the Minecraft Discord server on which this incredibly damaging information was leaked?
	Nope, tell us!
	I saw it once and it was like four words that I don't think I could smash back together.
	It was like Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm levels of nonsense.
	Thug Shaker Central.
	Ah, three words.
	Yeah, there we go.
	Thug Shaker Central.
	That doesn't mean anything.
	Thug Shaker Central is the Minecraft Discord server in which our young man, 21 years of age, and he's never going to see daylight again, he said, I have high level military access.
	And someone said, no, you don't, you cuck.
	And then he began leaking incredibly damaging and important Battleplanes for Ukraine, American Spy Networks, on this Discord server, on which they were then disseminated out into the greater internet.
	Sarge, if you've done homework, you need to tell me before I throw it to Mike Rades.
	Uh, yeah, I did a little homework on this because it was so interesting.
	Yeah, and you're surprising me with it now.
	I threw it to Mike Rades and you were just like, shut up, Mike Rades, you cuck, I'm talking about this headline.
	Um, yeah, so the, like, the FBI, CIA, everyone, this shit was so important, they were panicking.
	This has been going on since January until very recently, and they thought a high-level person in the government was being blackmailed.
	That's how damaging this stuff was.
	They were like, Man, they've got someone's daughter, or they have something incredibly damaging on somebody, or they thought it was just an incredibly well-placed spy and someone had gone over.
	Nope.
	It was for internet clout.
	No spy, no ideology involved.
	It was just some red-pilled little shitweasel who has incredibly high level military clearance.
	And, uh, got called a cuck by someone on a Minecraft server.
	Yeah, usually government stuff is reserved for only the most intense, uh, virtual tank combat simulators, you know?
	Usually when government secrets are getting tossed around on servers for stuff, it's to win an argument in a very niche World of Tanks server.
	Not something that's taken to Minecraft.
	Uh, yeah, I mean, this is just a server where these idiots talked about Minecraft and shared racist memes.
	Uh, like, we don't have a ton of information on him, but he got blackbagged as soon as it all, like, they finally tracked it all down, he got blackbagged and...
	I walked off the property by like a million U.S.
	Marshals.
	Because he's a criminal and no one could possibly think otherwise.
	He revealed secrets about U.S.
	military personnel on the internet.
	This is where Mike might be able to come in, except several people are trying to play him off as a whistleblower for reasons I can't fathom.
	Well, people are blowing him off as a whistleblower because it's advantageous to claim that he is some sort of hero.
	To make this perfectly clear, Lord Dumdum here, as he was posting this stuff on the Minecraft server, told people on the Minecraft server, do not leak this.
	Do not disseminate this outside the Minecraft server.
	So he was not whistleblowing.
	He was not using whistleblower provisions the government allows.
	He was quietly blowing the whistle.
	Yes, quietly blowing the whistle to his few friends to reassure them that he had high-level military intelligence capabilities and he was using them to impress them and So basically looking at this thing, people started concocting a narrative about how he's actually secretly a hero, how he's doing a good thing, how he's exposing the fact that the U.S.
	military is actually got boots on the ground in Ukraine, Which it doesn't.
	This is an embassy security force that is just like a standard thing that we do at all embassies.
	This is kind of the core issue of Benghazi, was we didn't have enough security protecting that embassy, which is what allowed the protests that got out of hand and killed four Americans to happen.
	And then when we dug into it, oh look who cut the funding!
	It was Republicans.
	Oh, shucker!
	So, No, that was Hillary Clinton or whatever.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Oh God.
	Lock her up.
	Lock her up.
	I just love that.
	That's my favorite thing in the world.
	All these right wing people being like, the indicting Donald Trump is this great red line that we never should have crossed in America.
	It's like, didn't Donald Trump campaign on jailing his opponent for president?
	Like literally.
	He, at one of the debate stages, was like, you're gonna go to jail after I win!
	Their entire campaign was throwing their enemies in prison.
	Speaking of going to jail, Mike, I have to ask you, because I have to ask you every time this comes up, is there a chance that this arrest is the first arrest?
	Isn't this the storm?
	Yeah, Mike, is the storm happening?
	Should I get myself forward?
	What's really funny was I actually did see somebody posting about pending first arrests.
	No one's actually gone for it with this guy, but the first arrest is now looming again in our history because there was like...
	Who would it have to be?
	Donald Trump got arrested.
	Who's bigger than Donald Trump?
	Are they going to kick open the doors of the Oval Office and arrest sitting President Joe Biden?
	The funny thing about that is, because you said what a normal, rational adult would say,
	which is, are they going to arrest the literal president right now?
	And to me, QAnon would probably sort of be like, yeah, that's good, but what about Obama?
	I mean, it's just like the guy that was president a while ago, that would probably be a bigger
	feather in their cap according to them.
	And it's racism.
	It's because of the fact that Obama got to be president while being black, which was
	unacceptable to these people.
	Never smice as long as they're a hero.
	Suck it, losers.
	Yes!
	Yeah, the black man got eight years and the orange man only got four.
	That's bullshit.
	What the fuck?
	What's going on?
	Andy killed Osama.
	Taste it.
	Taste it, losers.
	It's tasty.
	Oh God.
	Yeah.
	So dreaming of the first arrest, um, there, cause there was like,
	Republicans were talking about, Oh, we found some new, uh, financial details.
	Looks like the Biden family making a few bucks on, on toward Lee and unethically.
	And people were like, Oh, Oh, they're going to get him.
	And it's like, no, they're not.
	Calm down.
	Like, it is so funny how we have this massive right-wing disinformation griftosphere that exists only to tell these dum-dums that their enemies are about to be arrested any day now, and it never stops.
	It is just this perpetual cycle of getting people's hopes up, and then nothing ever happens, and then they get their hopes up again, and nothing ever happens, and it's just- It's dead.
	Their heroes keep getting arrested.
	Yes.
	Like this whistleblower guy.
	Who they've always loved.
	And they've always stood behind this guy, whose name I'm sure they have to snap to their aide off camera to hold up a notepad with their name on it.
	And they're just like, and I really stand behind that heroic, patriotic, that guy, you know the guy.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Okay, so, uh, pop quiz.
	It went from Thug Shaker Central to elsewhere on the internet to one social media service and one website.
	Can you guys name where the legal... Needlepads.
	You're close.
	Can you name either one?
	Okay, well that's all I've got.
	Nope, no shot.
	4chan and Telegram.
	So they went from Thug Shaker Central to 4chan and Telegram.
	Good no-and, Mike.
	Love it.
	You should have shut that one right down.
	He's like, no, not playing it.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	Just give us the answer.
	We need the answer.
	Because the thing that was really funny was at the start of the segment, I was going to be like, Sarge, you're the military guy here.
	Tell us how fucked this is.
	It's very fucked.
	This is one of the worst leaks in an incredibly long time.
	Can you explain why this fucking moron had access to anything like this?
	I'm not sure exactly what his position was.
	He was inside the Pentagon.
	I don't know if he had a military position, but he had clearance and was in IT.
	He had high-level clearance and worked inside the Pentagon and was in IT.
	So this, if I had to guess, gave him access to the intelligence services.
	Each have their own private internet I believe those are called intranets, if I recall correctly.
	Sarge, did he have Q-level clearance?
	No, I don't think he... My god, if it really is the first arrest, could you imagine?
	Why are we just now spinning this narrative?
	Get on it, you conservative idiots!
	As we've been over before, Q-level clearance has to do with the Department of Energy, and what he shared is not related.
	It makes no sense for someone with Q-level clearance to be leaking things like this and, I don't know, other things like, Hillary Clinton is going to be arrested.
	That would be dumb and not make any sense.
	I mean it would be if she was going to get arrested for sabotaging like an electrical facility or whatever.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, Hillary Clinton is getting arrested because we have compelling evidence that she pulled up to this power station and shot a few rounds into it like a weirdo.
	So, it all happened because a literal child, a 21-year-old, had incredibly high level clearance because that's the way the world works.
	That's not a child, Zard.
	They're old enough to fuck Leonardo DiCaprio at that point.
	Uh, my favorite thing about that was, uh, people were just like, you actually believe that this guy was behind all this?
	You have to be an idiot!
	It's like, no, our military is that stupid.
	The world really is this dumb.
	Yeah, it turns out that the conflict, uh, slash war in Ukraine is teaching us one very important thing, and that's everybody's military is much worse than we gave them credit for.
	Yes.
	Oh, and we had Marjorie Taylor Greene coming out and being like, this young Christian white man is being scapegoated because he's all those good things.
	And it's like, yes, yes, Marjorie, the Christian white male, truly the most persecuted of all human beings in America.
	When will the white man ever get a break in our nation?
	Oh, man.
	His proud thug shaker, Central Bible School.
	Like, they're just like a study group.
	They talk about how great the Lord is.
	Drop it low for us, the Lord.
	What a surprise that it moved from Thug Shaker Central to 4chan and Telegram.
	I'm so surprised to find out that people on a Discord server called Thug Shaker Central also use the sites 4chan and Telegram.
	I love how the internet apparently can just like always support a cesspool.
	Like 4chan has just been active for so long and it's still doing the same old shit.
	It's so wild.
	It's just like, yep, the internet needs a septic tank and 4chan's it, baby.
	Yeah.
	One of the, one of the, uh, the buddies of this guy that was in the discord posted a bunch of aggressively anti-Semitic commentary about things.
	And so like they, this, this group was not really the best of people.
	I wasn't making any jokes when I said this is a place where they shared racist memes and talked bullshit at each other.
	Yeah.
	Uh, I, I forget what exactly was the context of it, but they were basically, they were talking about world war two and some sort of game.
	And then some guy was like, didn't they fix like 6 million bugs that year?
	Or it's basically just letting people know I am pro Holocaust.
	The, that was a good thing in my eyes.
	So these people were just absolute, just.
	Like anti-Semitic trash that had a bro in their midst who was just like, Hey, would you like to know some stuff about Ukrainian troop movements?
	It's just like, what the, why would you, I gotta let my friends who are posting their racist and anti-Semitic memes know that I'm kind of a big shot.
	I got some cool, look how cool I am.
	Yeah, it really stymied the investigators for so long because of how high level the leaks were.
	They started with, this has to be someone's flipped or someone's being blackmailed at an unprecedented level.
	And no, he got called a cuck.
	Well, now he's in FBI custody or whatever.
	Total cuck move.
	Enjoy prison forever loser.
	Real beta energy.
	Yeah, he can enjoy Andrew Tate in the Forever Prison.
	Tate's under house arrest now, he's out.
	Oh yeah, with his wolf, which is totally a wolf, and not just a dog.
	It's a wolf, not a dog.
	Anyway, we could talk about that Joker forever, but we're not going to.
	Instead, we have to talk about something that is unfortunately kind of boring, but important to talk about, and that is The resolution of and current start to various litigations, specifically Dominion Voting Machines v. Fox News.
	So, Mike Rades, what's going on in the scintillating world of voting machines?
	No, I'm taking it.
	I'm pushing Sarge away from this one.
	This one's my bag.
	This is my exciting headline.
	This is my thrilling headline.
	Sarge was talking about national security and how perilous our military secrets are.
	I'm going to tell you about some voting machines and how they won a lawsuit against a news company.
	It's incredible.
	It's so thrilling.
	The first news company.
	And also, quote unquote, won.
	I mean, yeah.
	Well, get into it.
	I'll voice my complaints later.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, I mean, people did want there to be more of a public admission of Fox's lying and their bullshittery about all of this.
	But from what I was reading from a bunch of lawyers, it doesn't feel like there's any way that Fox could have actually have been compelled to do that if it wasn't part of the settlement.
	And that was basically... You've gone and tricked yourself into avoiding actually mentioning what the settlement was.
	So let me stop you right there.
	No, almost $800 million.
	It was like $787 million.
	Out of 1.6, which is what they had been suing for, right?
	1.8 billion?
	dollars out of 1.6 which is what they which is what they had been suing for
	right yeah yeah yeah yeah they've been suing yeah they were suing for a north
	of a billion and they got a slightly under 800 million dollars in the
	settlement they were impaneling a jury at the time They were getting ready for opening arguments.
	Then that's finally when Fox was like, okay, fine, we're going to cut you a giant fucking check because we know that we are going to lose and Lord knows what the jury is going to say that number is going to be.
	And so this happened and a lot of people are furious because they wanted Dominion to go all the way with this and to win the case and Um, again, the main thing people wanted was like Tucker Carlson having to go on the air and state that he lied and that kind of stuff.
	But from what I've been reading from lawyers is that there's really no way a civil case could, that's like a settlement thing that a judge can't order you to say words really that I know of.
	And I could be wrong.
	I mean, I'm just, I'm just watching lawyers like throwing punches on the internet about this settlement and if it was good or bad.
	Yeah, I know Alex Jones had to give a public apology to the CEO of Chobani.
	Right, but that was a settlement.
	He didn't get sued into doing it.
	When he lost all those default judgments at Sandy Hook, the judges didn't say, oh yeah, by the way, you have to go on InfoWars and say that you were wrong.
	He just said, you owe $1.5 billion, go fuck yourself.
	That is a thing that you can agree to as part of a settlement, but it can't be compelled of you by losing as a penalty.
	Yeah, that's what it seems to be.
	I could receive an angry DM from a lawyer who could cite these case laws and be like, no, they can't be forced to do that.
	I'm like, okay, you're right.
	It's a comedy show, parody or whatever.
	We do the right stuff all along and chose to say wrong stuff for the lols.
	You don't eat $780 million if you're right.
	it in uh 80 million dollars if you're right.
	No dude that's that's that's like uh that's the innocence tax.
	Oh that was my favorite thing that some dumb QAnon promoter said.
	He was like, now that Fox has been forced to pay $800 million, they're coming for all of us to try to silence our speech.
	I'm like, Fox was not forced to pay anything.
	Fox did this of their own volition.
	They knew that if they went to trial, there was a real chance that it was going to be a lot more than that.
	Also, I mean, I guess we don't know for sure, but the reporting that was happening ahead of the settlement sticking, before it got to the point where they were starting to impanel a jury, The day before, there was, like, rumors that Fox was essentially desperate to get a settlement down before jury selection finished.
	And Dominion was just like, what you're offering us, absolutely not.
	Fuck no.
	Fuck off.
	And just said, no, we're not settling.
	And then the next day, it's suddenly just like, yes, we have decided to settle, and the number is very big.
	But, not big enough.
	Because it's not like it's gonna sink Fox or anything.
	Fox is gonna absorb this hit like no big deal, whatever, who cares?
	Right.
	That's the problem, is that people wanted a crippling blow to Fox News.
	And I don't give a fuck if Dominion gets rich, I don't give a fuck about Dominion at all.
	Right, oh god no.
	I knew they were never going to bring down Fox News, but they gave them a black eye.
	I'm more interested if they can bring down OAN and Mike Lindell, because Dominion has lawsuits going against them, and if you're Mike Lindell, you're like...
	Shit house bat crazy, so you probably won't settle.
	That one's gonna be fun.
	Maybe he'll also settle for 800 million dollars.
	Yeah, I don't think he has 800 million left, and I know OAN doesn't have 800 million to begin with.
	Does OAN have $800?
	I mean, let's fucking... Oh my god.
	I want to say there's one other lawsuit that I can't remember, but OAN and... Rudy and Sidney Powell, they're going to... Rudy gets his day in court as well on this.
	800 millos all around.
	Yeah.
	Oh yeah.
	Like if you're all the dum-dums that were part of like these fucking lawsuits and you just saw what Fox settled for, you are fucked and you know it.
	I mean, that is the only, literally the only person who might be able to get away with it is Mike Lindell cause he's insane.
	And that is like one of the only ways you can win one of these cases that is that you actually believed the shit you said was true.
	Then people, the jury can be like, he believed it.
	He thought this was the truth.
	And that's why Fox was so fucked, was because in Discovery, literally, there was nothing but millions of documents that just said, yeah, we're lying about Dominion, but we don't care.
	Fuck Dominion.
	We gotta keep our viewers happy.
	So keep lying, keep lying about them.
	I'm sick of having to explicitly lie about the effectiveness of a Dominion voting machine because Donald Trump is a baby.
	You're right, exactly!
	Did you have any evidence there?
	Text from Tucker Carlson?
	Yes!
	So, I mean, that's the thing.
	It's like, I'm sure that Sidney and Rudy and all the other people have equally as bad discovery evidence waiting for them.
	Mike Lindell might just literally have, like, his emails or whatever.
	They were just saying, Dominion stole this election and come hell or high water, I will prove it!
	I, Mike Lindell, God's chosen warrior in elections!
	And it's like, oh, goddammit.
	If any of them thought their defense was going to be, well, we were reporting on what we saw on Fox News.
	Now that Fox News is settled and also it's come out, all the evidence of the Fox News case, they're extra double fucked.
	It's like, well, uh, that was my whole defense strategy.
	I was just going to say, we were saying what they said.
	Uh, yeah, that's not going to fly.
	Yep.
	And then, so on top of all of this, after Dominion has gotten there, they're got in the bag, as the kids say, because I'm hip, I'm with it.
	Smartmatic, the other company that was being smeared, has declared that they're filing a $2.3 billion lawsuit against Fox News because they saw what happened with Dominion.
	They were like, we would like our share of about a billion dollars, please, because you did the same shit to us, motherfuckers.
	So here we go.
	We're coming for our money.
	And just get ready.
	And again, bidding starts at $7.87.
	787 million.
	That's, that's our baseline.
	We'll see how high we move up in that wallet boys.
	Yes, we're coming for it.
	We, um, so we're, we're going to enjoy, uh, the Dominion News Network, the rebranding of OAN in like six months or so.
	They're just, we're hi, we're the company, we're the news network owned by a voting machine company for reasons.
	Don't, don't question it.
	Um, and we're just going to, I don't know, be like the second weather channel or something.
	Cause we really don't.
	Welcome to Newsmatic.
	Yes.
	So yeah, Fox received one black eye from here.
	Not nearly as bad as they deserve, but round two is coming shortly.
	It's not nothing.
	I mean, that's still a lot of money, even to Fox News.
	Right, but again, fucking destroy them.
	They are a cancer upon American society and they're the worst.
	But at the very least, we now know that there's another company that is equally as defamed by Fox because it's just so wild that All of America is just trapped by this dumb idiot that luck boxed his way into the presidency and half of this country is just stuck worshiping him.
	And we have all these different news networks that literally have to just kiss his ass and tell him, Oh, Oh no, the election was stolen from you, Donnie.
	Oh, we're so sorry.
	We're so sorry.
	I just wish that we lived in this bizarre alternate reality to just see how conservatives would laugh at us if we'd been spending the last four years being like, Hillary got screwed and it was bullshit.
	I still love her.
	She's the greatest.
	And Hillary was just our bizarre, like Trump-esque hero.
	And we had like Hillanon and all this just, of all the people have an internet cult built for them.
	Really?
	Donald Trump?
	That was the payoff?
	That was, that was the guy?
	I mean, I mean, Obama had a cult of personality, but that wasn't even close to being Trump.
	Hillary and Biden?
	Jesus, no.
	They're just people.
	They're just folks.
	And we don't have a guy in the pipeline, it seems.
	And by we, I mean Republicans, because we all know how deeply conservative I am.
	Yes.
	But, like, the next guy is sort of Ron DeSantis, who, I mean, is just sort of a huge nothing, charisma-wise.
	And also, if you look at him in high school, total uggo.
	Yuck.
	Grossed.
	That was super weird.
	The people were like, look at his yearbook photo.
	It's like, man, really?
	This is what we're reduced to?
	First of all, that's not the way.
	Like, going back to somebody's yearbook photo and just being like, look how they looked at high school.
	What a reject.
	What a loser.
	What a square.
	What a weenie.
	It's just like, okay, where's your hot shit high school photo there, chief?
	Yeah.
	And also, I hate to bring this to all the people who are just like, wow, you can tell this guy never saw pussy in his life.
	You're fucking wrong.
	Like, he was an attractive dude back then.
	I'm sure that he was doing just fine.
	The thing that's really, it's really funny to me about DeSantis is that he did serve in the military.
	He was very much in shape at one point in his life.
	And you would just think if you were pursuing a political career that I don't know, staying on the treadmill would probably be
	kind of more important in your life than whatever it is he does with his time. Besides, I don't
	know, just aiding minorities and being crazy angry at LGBTQ people and fighting with
	Disney. Because I would think that you would be looking to try to make yourself like the
	anti-Donald when it came to your presentation.
	No, he wants to make himself THE Donald.
	Apparently!
	He's probably on, like, a Big Mac diet, and, you know, he's doing ramp training, by which I mean training to fail going up and down a ramp.
	Like, yeah, I'm sure that, you know, if he wanted to be the anti-Trump, I feel like he would have positioned himself to do that before now.
	Like, every time he's come down as being quote-unquote anti-Trump, he's just like, well, you know, Willikers, I love the Trumpster, but I'm in favor of all Americans, you know?
	And then Trump's just like, no!
	How dare you!
	What a stupid meatball goober you are!
	A fealty to me only!
	What a loser!
	If it is, it is incredible.
	It's a tackle fight.
	It's the most stupid thing ever.
	Like Donald Trump's big zinger against him is Meatball Ron.
	And that's good enough because Ron DeSantis is nothing.
	So it is so funny to me that we we had that attempt at a thing.
	I there was like a schmuck on the Hustler Poker livestream.
	And this guy's, like, decked out in a DeSantis 24 shirt and all this stuff.
	That sounds like a gross livestream.
	Hustler poker?
	Ugh.
	Not a great name, that's for sure.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Well, let's see.
	Larry Flynt bought the place, and that's just his thing.
	He brands everything with the Hustler on it now.
	Is he still alive?
	Kind of.
	I mean, he's basically, like, just...
	Kind of.
	He's a brain in a robot body.
	Yeah, basically.
	Yeah.
	Like that Doom Patrol villain.
	He's an emperor.
	He's in a golden throne.
	Yeah, pretty much.
	Yeah.
	He's just like the emperor of weird politics and pornography.
	Wow, Larry Flynn returned.
	The dead speak.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, weird joke.
	Yeah, well, I mean, it's just it's where I saw this.
	It feels so astroturfy.
	It just feels so forced that they're just trying to create new Trump out of whole cloth because they're just desperate to get away from him because they understood that he lost the popular vote by a lot to Hillary, but got lucky and won the Electoral College.
	Then he got sandblasted by Biden.
	And it's not like time is doing any good things for the mental acuity of this man.
	I mean, I mentioned it before, but he's literally getting softball interviews from Sean Hannity where he's like, you didn't take those documents, right?
	And Trump's like, fuck yeah, I took them.
	It was great.
	I was the president.
	I can take any documents I want.
	You know, Sean, not only did I take him, but as President, I'm allowed to take him.
	I can take anything I want from anybody I want.
	I'm the President, and that's what a President can do.
	And anything I look at is declassified.
	When I close my eyes, everything becomes classified again.
	Yes!
	And if the President wants to sell those documents to Saudi Arabia for tens of millions of dollars, the President can also do that!
	Here's a photo of me and MBS.
	Here's me handing him this document, and here's him handing me a bag of money.
	We got it all on video.
	Totally legal transaction.
	and he just like runs off the set screaming hair on fire like nooo
	a little better interview than that guy interviewing the was it the the president of
	substack or whatever yeah it's just like so just to be clear you're not gonna let explicitly racist
	content on your platform and he was just like well i uh i mean uh willikers i uh
	i don't want to make individual judgments and the reviewer's just like you know that this is
	The answer you just gave me is terrible, right?
	Like, on the record, I'm asking you, interviewer to interviewee, the answer you just gave me is bad.
	Would you like to change it?
	And the guy was like, no!
	And he was like, no, I stand by my sweaty, nervous reaction to whether or not I will let people be openly racist on my platform.
	So good work, Substag.
	The next Twitter, you ain't.
	Anyway.
	The follow up was my favorite.
	He goes, you know, you'll have to do that at some point.
	People will say awful things on your platform.
	And someone will have to make an individual judgment on each of these.
	That's what moderating is.
	He goes, I don't really want to talk about that right now.
	It's like, he put the ball.
	This interview is over.
	Yeah.
	Let's go to his microphone now.
	Put the ball in a fucking tee for you.
	I mean, honestly, that interviewer is my favorite person of the recently, just for having the call to just be like, that answer you gave me was very bad!
	It hasn't aged well, and it is one second later.
	It's so good.
	Anyway, let's move on to our mailbag for the week, shall we?
	Yeah, take me home.
	Our listeners got questions, we got answers.
	It's time for Q and A. Leach from Buffalo asks, can you please explain to me how Trump is our shadow president who calls all the shots yet simultaneously everything is now terrible thanks to Joe Biden?
	Asking for a friend.
	Oh, this is an easy one.
	Oh man, this is a meatball.
	The answer is that Trump is the shadow president and he's making sure that things don't get too bad where actual permanent damage is done to America and the world, but he is letting Biden show what happens to the world when evil, hideous liberal policies are enacted.
	You have Dylan Mulvaney celebrating with a pod light about March Madness and eggs are expensive for a week or two and all of this kind of stuff.
	Biden is slowly pilling America into seeing the horrible truth of our world.
	And we're all going to, we're all waking up thanks to Biden's ineptitude.
	And then we're going to reelect Trump, Trump in a landslide in 2024.
	And then Trump will let us know on the slide that, Oh yeah, by the way, those last four years, I, it was really my hand on the wheel.
	I was making sure that Joe wasn't going to do anything too extreme, but yeah, we've had 12 years of Trump and it's all good in the hood.
	So that's basically the narrative that these people want is like, they love, They love using the line that like, Joe Biden is a walking red pill.
	He's waking up all the normies of his horrible corruption and incompetent governance.
	And so it's a good thing that Biden is like the public facing president.
	They kind of saw that happen with Trump.
	It did energize the base in the other direction.
	Oh yeah.
	I mean, but that's the thing is that like, that was Trump actually doing things that pissed people off.
	And, um, I don't know, like banning abortion.
	That's like shit is really biting the Republicans in the ass in every way, shape and form.
	So yeah, great job guys.
	Like the whole red pilling thing is working.
	Women, women are getting red pilled that Republicans actually viscerally hate them.
	They're figuring it out.
	They're putting two and two together.
	As the shadow president, it's Trump's job to karate fight Joe Biden anytime Joe Biden tries to hit the button in the Oval Office that would make heterosexuality illegal.
	Yes!
	I don't like Biden's chances and how I always wanted to settle presidency where Again, hell in a cell match.
	No, I keep fucking this up.
	What's it called when they have to get up a ladder to get the... Ladder match!
	Oh, that's money in the bank.
	That's money in the bank.
	Money in the bank.
	I think the presidency should be settled with a money in the bank match.
	I don't like Biden's chances.
	I think Trump outweighs him by like a hundred pounds.
	But Trump can't climb the ladder.
	The match can't end.
	Do you get L's and C's in the money experience?
	The money match experience?
	Because I always like the TLC battles.
	It's like tables, ladders, and chairs.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	There's some Dudley boys out here.
	Someone's going through a table.
	Oh, there was this, I saw like a month or two ago, there was a rap concert, and there were actually people out there who thought this was not staged, which made me laugh my ass off, but basically, the rapper on stage starts quote-unquote arguing with someone in the crowd, and then one thing leads to another, and the person from the crowd runs with the stage, And then the rapper and someone in his entourage, or maybe it was another rapper that was with him, the guy ran at the rapper and the rapper scooped him up, and then the other guy, and they hit him with a perfect deadly death drop.
	Just crushed the guy with 3D on the stage.
	And people were like, oh shit, that guy got owned, and it's like...
	It's a work.
	That was staged.
	No one can get hit with a shoot 3D.
	It's not an actual attack two people could hit someone with if they didn't run into it willingly.
	Also, I'm here to tell you, having seen real fight clips where people actually perform a wrestling-style move on somebody in the real world, it's much less charming when it's for real.
	Oh, yes!
	If you hit someone with a chair in the real world, they tend to not get back up.
	Or if they do, it's very slowly.
	Or like Powerbomb.
	Powerbomb pretty frequently happens because for whatever reason people like to sometimes try to spear you shoulder first.
	So they're just like, hey, I'm going to put myself in perfect Powerbomb range if you would like to give me one of these IRL.
	And then inevitably, whenever that happens, the person who gets Powerbombed looks like they are dead.
	Because catastrophic damage has been done to their spider body.
	Like they've been hit with a move called Powerbomb.
	Yeah, shoot power bombs are horrifying.
	And as Elle said, it's just one of these things where a guy like bends over and runs with someone.
	The other guy gets his hands around his waist and then just lifts.
	And one thing leads to another, and he just ends up dropping him on his back.
	And it's like, the mat doesn't give.
	There's no balance.
	They're usually fighting on a street.
	So you just like splat this guy on the road, and then the guy just lays there.
	And you're just like, oh shit!
	Oh no, I'm going to jail!
	To answer your question, why is Trump secretly in charge while we have Biden, it's to set up for my tables, ladders, chair, cage match.
	That is why.
	I don't want this to happen.
	I don't think Biden can beat Trump.
	And I also think that Trump can't win the match because, again, we saw how Trump navigates a ramp.
	He can't climb a ladder.
	Biden will be basically stretched out of the ring.
	Trump will have fallen on him and Biden will be incapacitated, but then the match will just sort of never end because Trump will not be able to navigate.
	Donald Trump will be, like, looking up at the ladder, like, regarding it, and, like, being confused, trying to figure out how to tackle it.
	And then Barack Obama will charge in from underneath the ring.
	He's been hidden underneath it the whole time.
	And then he'll, like, scurry up the ladder quickly and grab it.
	And we'll all accept it.
	We'll be like, yeah, sure.
	Let me hit you with this.
	It's one very long ramp to get down to the ring.
	No, Trump might not be able to make it.
	He's got to tip over and he's going to roll down and it's going to be like the fat kid from Hook.
	That's how he defeats Joe Biden.
	He just trips on the ramp and just rolls into him.
	They're both old men.
	Joe Biden hasn't even gotten to the ring yet.
	His music is instantly on.
	He's just noddering down the ramp.
	Then Trump gets to the top of the ramp and he trips, he falls, he rolls over Biden, and they both get disqualified because neither of them make it to the ring.
	So that would be usually the money in the banks like a giant multiway match.
	So at this point, we that will be kind of our I don't know, this is like our question to the audience would basically be what would be the money in the bank match in the future?
	Because, um, and do we just go intergender here?
	Because we could have Gretchen Whitmer and Marjorie Taylor Greene be involved in this and Boebert.
	If MTG's involved, I don't like anyone else's chances.
	You're doing a wrestling specific call to action this week?
	How bold.
	I'm a bold person.
	I'm spicy.
	This one's for you, six listeners who care about professional wrestling.
	Yes!
	Hell yeah!
	And also, so we get like, you know, based on percentage wise, but I think there's like a pretty good shot that there's somebody out there.
	You know, this one's for you, Greg.
	Greg, we really want to hear about you, buddy.
	Yes!
	Talk to us, Greg.
	Yeah!
	Hit us up, Greg!
	Oh man, I'm so glad.
	This is micro-targeting.
	This is how the Russians influenced the 2016 election.
	We're going after very specific people.
	We're going after Greg.
	Yes, come on Greg.
	You can do this for us.
	Greg, have you ever considered how great Russia is?
	Let's talk about it.
	What was the Russian heel?
	Uh, the Russian, there's a million Russian heels.
	There was Nikolai Volkov.
	There was the Nikita Khrushchev.
	I mean, they're Ivan Kolov.
	There was plenty of like evil Russians.
	Uh, the most Yes, Sotapopinsky.
	Um, the most recent one was from Bulgaria, but they just declared him a Russian anyways, because they didn't have anything better to do with him.
	So they just made the guy from Bulgaria, like the Russian representative.
	He was, he was Rusev in, uh, WWE.
	Now he's Miro in AEW.
	He doesn't wrestle anymore.
	He just hangs out and catering and collects a paycheck.
	It's a good.
	It's a good job, but I'm jealous.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	So I can stat Nick asks Freddy Potatoes wants to know what are your favorite chain restaurants and Freddy is Freddy.
	The beautiful little doggie is wearing a gold chain around his neck.
	Favorite chain restaurants.
	I'm a big fan of Hawaiian Brothers if I had to pick like a favorite chain.
	They do have my favorite macaroni salad ever.
	Yeah.
	Are there some local chains that yeah I don't I don't know how big it's gonna be so I'm not gonna name like local chains but like I'll say Hawaiian Brothers is one of my favorites.
	That's a good choice.
	It breaks my heart because I don't have any even remotely close to me, but Cracker Barrel is probably my honest answer.
	I love a Cracker Barrel breakfast.
	That always is going to get the people going.
	Yeah, I for like middle of range kind of price.
	I like Texas Roadhouse.
	I just like joy.
	I love the cinnamon butter and the endless rolls and getting a steak for whatever, like 40 bucks or what.
	That's that's a good that's a good night out for me because I am just your standard overweight American who likes meat and potatoes.
	Dude, that butter they serve, my God.
	Yes.
	So good.
	And they have pork chops on the meat.
	I love a pork chop.
	There we go.
	I think all those answers are fucking great, man.
	I have Texas Roadhouse close to where I live, but I don't have the other two, which sucks, because, boy howdy, they're both so good.
	In fact, the last time, we have a banchan near me.
	We went to banchan.
	Banchan's fine.
	But the last time we ordered from it, I was just like, God, I wish that this was just Hawaiian Brothers instead.
	A million times better is the Hawaiian Brothers than banchan.
	Do they have Cracker Barrel in Texas?
	Yes.
	They're anywhere highways are, really.
	Okay, because I'm definitely planning on going to the Patriot-Cowboy game this year, so I have to sample all of Texas' crazy culinary excellence.
	Including Cracker Barrel.
	I mean, you would love Cracker Barrel.
	If you like the Texas Roadhouse butter, you'll like Cracker Barrel.
	They have their own special apple-cinnamon butter that they serve with everything.
	It's delightful.
	That sounds awesome.
	I'm here for it.
	Yeah.
	That's the question.
	Man, now I'm hungry.
	Not the Cracker Barrel in Springfield, Illinois.
	Fuck you, that Cracker Barrel.
	That was the worst Cracker Barrel I've ever been to.
	Take that, you restaurant in particular.
	And Greg.
	I've betrayed you, Greg.
	I hate you now.
	You should have taken it up with their corporate manager.
	You should have run it all the way up the ladder and seen how much free Cracker Barrel bucks you could have got from your bad experience.
	I mean, the service was fine, the food was just fucking terrible.
	The next time anything like that happens, threaten them with your platform of, hey, just be like, hey, literally slightly more than a thousand people listen to us, so you better watch yourself.
	Groucho's Ghost asks, who are the Brain Police?
	Quote Frank Zappa.
	I'm not much on the Zappa train.
	I haven't listened to Frank Zappa in like a billion years.
	I don't know what song they're referencing, I'm very sorry.
	I assume that is the song, Who is the Brain Police.
	I mean maybe maybe maybe they're just phrasing the quote maybe it's up to us to determine who these brain police are
	um Who are the brain police
	That is a tough question.
	I mean, wow, this sounds like the start of this is going to be our serial style podcast.
	Who are the Brain Police?
	Cue the license-free dramatic music right here, and now the, if this is a real podcast, the sound of a car driving up a gravel driveway.
	Fuck no, we're gonna put together a Patreon before we even record just so we can license the Unsolved Mysteries theme music.
	Yes!
	Absolutely!
	See if we can get a little co-licensing going on.
	Unsolved Mysteries presents Colin, who are the Brain Police.
	But then we'll forget to secure the rights for the Zappa Estate and they will sue us and we will go under.
	We'll die penniless but excellent like Nikola Tesla.
	Another merch idea for our store that'll never happen.
	I want the shirt to say penniless and excellent.
	That's what I want.
	That's what we all strive for, right?
	Yes.
	Die penniless but excellent.
	Yep.
	Hey, people are going to remember us, even though we weren't really happy with our last few months living hand to mouth and being kind of miserable.
	Hey, and I'm not telling you not to get rich during your lifetime.
	Get as rich as you want to.
	But generational wealth is bullshit.
	So at the end of your life, give it all to charity or whatever, and then people will just be like, man, they were excellent and they died penniless.
	Perfect.
	There we go.
	Nailed it.
	Boom.
	Stuck the landing.
	PancakePeasant asks, exclusively HellWorldL, Elon Musk is a spineless cuck.
	If he won't give you one million United States dollars, the Walt Disney Company will.
	We'd like to bring you down to our new mobile theme park, Howl's Moving Castle style, to run the reboot of Turbo Teen.
	How do you accept?
	I don't think Disney will let me go as dark as I'd want to with a reboot of Turboteen.
	I feel like if the core conceit of your thing is that it's a person that transforms against their will into an automobile, I want a reboot of that to be, like, darkly body horror-tastic.
	Yeah, how dark are you gonna go?
	I want, at the very least, the transformation to be horrible.
	Maybe that's the gimmick.
	Maybe it's an R-rated comedy, and most of the rest of the movie is played just like a straightforward, dumb, Seth Rogen-led fucking comedy vehicle.
	But in the moments where the turbo teen stuff is happening, it's incredibly like American werewolf in London,
	like gruesome practical effect transformation scenes.
	It just causes screaming like a death whale.
	Just begging for death in the middle of the process.
	Kill me.
	But then as soon as it's over, he's just like, oh, okay, beep, beep, I'm a car now.
	I was more imagining it being like a teen sex comedy where our hero's about to get the girl
	and then suddenly the transformation city, he's like, no, no, no.
	Oh, ah!
	And she's like, what's wrong?
	And then he's like, that would be a great take on it.
	It's Turbo Teen, but instead of having to do with like water or heat or whatever, it's literally just like, my name is Turbo Teensly, and when I get an erection, I turn into a car.
	Bling!
	He's like, a Porky-style movie.
	He walks by.
	Incredibly dark.
	So when the transformation happens in this girl's dorm room, it just paces her against the wall.
	And it just destroys the room they're in.
	And then he has to peel out.
	And people just don't understand what's going on.
	Like, it's really hard to implicate him in all the murders he's accidentally causing because it doesn't make any sense in reality world.
	It's like, how did that car get in there?
	John, what happened?
	And he's just like, I don't know.
	I left like 10 minutes before that whole thing broke loose.
	Man, Mike, you're just full of good ideas now.
	How about this for the reboot?
	It's like Christine, but it's about a jealous incel guy who can just so happen to turn into a car, stalking a woman.
	I'm in for that.
	That sounds good.
	You could do social commentary in it.
	You get, like, the Christine homage would be great, and then at the end you probably get to have your heroine beat an incel to death, or whatever, which sounds very satisfying.
	If I'm being quite honest, I kind of like to see that.
	Like, with a crowbar or whatever.
	Splashes up with the water to make her transform back into a kid and then just pummels it.
	I Am here for all of this
	This is no longer a QAnon-based podcast.
	This is a writing room for whatever bizarre Turboteen-based movie we are going to create and then not be allowed to produce because we don't own the intellectual property to Turboteen.
	I feel like we could get it by just being like, we have it now.
	I feel like we could get it by just being like, we have it now.
	It's ours.
	We've taken Turboteen by force.
	I feel like we can get it by climbing to the top of a ladder and grabbing it.
	Yes!
	That is our new indecipherable thumbnail.
	It's me and Elle holding the ladder so Sarge can climb up and obtain the Turboteen briefcase.
	And people are like, what the f- It's like, what the fuck does any of this have to do with QAnon?
	It's like, nothing, just roll with it.
	Just let us be us, please.
	It's for the mailbag segment, it doesn't have to be about QAnon.
	Exactly.
	Oh, God.
	Okay, so finally, what are you guys looking forward to?
	This Saturday I'm gonna keep it running with last week.
	This Saturday is Warhammer Fest in London.
	I will not be staying up till 3 in the morning for the start of the big spoilers but I will wake up and watch them reveal the contents of the 10th edition box and I'll probably get a bunch of 10th edition rules so I'm looking forward to 10th edition news.
	You fuckin' nerd.
	What a stupid nerd.
	I'm excited about D&D!
	We're doing a radical change in the D&D campaign that I was running.
	Because I had been running the groups of the Witchlight Carnival.
	Um, adventure path, but it turns out that that adventure path is kind of boring.
	So we, uh, I was like, I got sick of it being boring and I was just like, Hey, this is a good place to put a pin in this one.
	Let's do a different sort of thing.
	So I reconfigured my D&D campaign and after like a, just about a month hiatus while I, uh, you know, twisted all the knobs and stuff I needed to do.
	Now we're getting back in the saddle this weekend, which is going to be pretty exciting.
	How about you, Mike?
	I'm sure it's sports-related.
	Oh, you fucking know it.
	Bruins up 1-0 in their series against the evil spawn of the nightmare state of Florida, the land of Trump and DeSantis, the Florida Panthers.
	Bruins won the first game against them.
	The Atlanta Hawks, who are awful and bad, have been pantsed most spectacularly by the Celtics in the first two games of their series.
	That series will only go four, maybe five games at most, because the Atlanta Hawks are terrible and bad.
	And the best player on the Milwaukee Bucks, who are the best basketball team in the sport of basketball, he got hurt.
	And so the door has opened.
	The people that vote with their wallets, as the kids would say, have now made the Celtics the betting favorites to win the basketball championships, which the Bruins were already the betting favorite to win the Stanley Cup.
	So I get to watch all of that this week.
	Wow, Championship City!
	Yes, yes.
	Us poor beleaguered Boston sports fans who haven't had a title in, I don't know, like three, four years?
	Something like that.
	The agony!
	No one knows the pain of the Boston sports fan.
	It's been a crippling drought.
	It's been terrible.
	Now you guys do have to work for it a little harder that the Patriots have pooped all over themselves.
	Yeah, the Patriots have fallen off of a cliff and Sarge gets to look down his nose at us with his Patrick Mahomes-led juggernaut of annihilation.
	And the refs!
