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, as always, by Haley, a.k.a.
Arizona Right Wing Watch.
I've actually dropped the wing.
I'm just Arizona Right Watch.
This is funny drama, but we won't get into it.
It's just Arizona Right Watch.
It's hilarious, but not hilarious enough for the comedy show that we record.
No.
I got threatened.
They threatened to sue me one time, regular Right Wing Watch.
I held out for over a year, almost two years.
I was like, fuck you, I'm not changing it.
But I decided now, as I'm moving away from Twitter a bit more, I'll just drop the wing and stop being such a fucking bitch.
Okay, I have follow-up questions, but I'll let Mike Rains continue his introduction.
I jumped in there, like off the top rope.
Yeah, kind of a long intro.
I am also joined by the aforementioned mysterious hell.
I've been here the whole time.
You wouldn't have known it though.
Nope.
Anyway, back to the conversation we were having previously, just moments ago.
Hayley, had you ever considered Arizona right wang watch?
You know?
No.
Because that way, uh, that way you could get a higher volume of regular internet creeps.
You know, that's true.
Instead of your, uh, your conservative conspiracy theory minded right wing creeps.
It would hit a lot more search bars, which, you know, we're always looking.
Yeah, I was gonna write Wong Watch for conservative fans of the character Wong in the MCU, because I believe that white conservative men are probably the only people still watching those things.
Am I right, guys?
Come on, you know?
Just to get mad at it, like, literally, the Disney Plus MCU literally exists only for hate watching.
It's just people looking at something like, God damn it, it's so woke!
And everybody else is like, the MCU still exists?
What are you talking about?
You know what flipped a switch in me?
And don't get me wrong, I've stopped watching shows before, but I definitively felt a surge of frivolity when I was watching the Obi-Wan show, and I was at the end of episode 2, and it was about to autoplay episode 3, and I was just like, you know what?
I think I'm good, actually.
That's how I feel about every show.
I think I'm good with this and maybe Star Wars in general.
I was like, you know what?
I'll tell you when I want more Star Wars, okay?
Like, you stop trying to give me Star Wars.
I'll come to you with my handout when I want some.
And that's just how I feel about, like, a couple things now.
It's just like, you know, I loved Game of Thrones so hard up until they really biffed it there at the end.
But then people were like, everyone on Earth I knew, like, was just willing to get potentially screwed over again.
They jumped into House of the Dragon immediately.
And I was just like, eh.
And everybody was like, oh, you need to get over it.
Just watch it.
And I was just like, I don't think I do, though.
Like, I feel like I'm perfectly satisfied not watching it.
I don't think I care.
Yeah.
I think I don't actually care that much about the show.
And if I ever do decide to care that much about the show, it'll be there for me.
I don't need to watch it right now.
I don't care.
I mean, it came and went out of the zeitgeist immediately.
So it couldn't have been that good.
Exactly.
I love the idea that you're like, ah, I'll just watch House of the Dragon in a few years and one day you're bored and you're like, ah, I heard some good things about this and you try to turn the show on and there's like, you are not a true believer and it just deletes itself from your screen.
It just refuses to let you watch it because you weren't cool enough to watch it originally.
Oh my god, but like that times a hundred is that show Andor.
Everybody was like going around running and just like grabbing people by the shoulders and shaking them big like, It's actually good!
It's actually a good Star Wars show!
It's a good one.
And people would grab me and shake me and yell at me about it.
And I'd be like, I get it.
It's cool.
I just don't care about Star Wars right now.
They beat it out of me and I don't care.
That's what franchises do to you, man.
I was just at the movie theaters to see Barbie last week.
And every single trailer was just a sequel or a remake.
And I was like, okay, is there anything new?
We got anything new going on?
The Rocka Rocka guys just had that big hit with Talk To Me.
That was like a whole new IP out of nowhere.
A couple of YouTube guys or TikTok guys, can't remember which, breaking big with a horror movie.
A24 is out there cultivating good stuff, especially if you like horror.
but a lot of it is a lot of it is definitely a franchise
consumerist drivel But then you get like a thing like Barbie which is just
like okay like obviously It doesn't get much more consumerist than a Barbie doll.
It literally is like, look, we're challenging capitalism sponsored by Mattel.
I mean, that's the whole thing.
The whole movie is that, right?
Yeah.
It was very funny for me.
I like how they had to toe the line to make the corporate goons kind of just like buffoonish, but not overly evil.
They're just sort of goofballs.
Wilfred Hoff's character's heart's in the right place, you know?
So, he's good.
And you know, I'm not gonna get into it, but it seems like... Spoilers.
Um... I walked out of the theater with my friends, I'm like, this is unironically an argument for militant feminism.
And they're like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Like, there's, you know?
But it's like, at the end, when they're like... What, were they drunk?
That was actually definitely the message.
Well, I mean, it was definitely the message that you were supposed to root for.
I think like at the end they barely win.
They barely win.
It's like they just they just happen to like get the vote in you know and like it was just kind of like well if you guys didn't get that vote in and and and and the the the bad guys took over the the patriarchy took over then we're I guess you guys were fucked.
The movie literally ends with the matriarchy crushing the patriarchy and then the people that were involved with the patriarchy are just like well maybe we can be equal now and the Barbies are just like no matriarchy forever.
It's an interesting movie.
It's an interesting movie politically.
I did like the aesthetic a lot.
And I'm not going to get into the politics of Barbie.
Because ultimately... I'm not trying to be Ben Shapiro here.
I was just like... I got you.
I'm about to ambush you with a question because this is a comedy show with a political bent.
And I don't like... So I went to go see this with my friends who like are a couple, traditional couple, biologically male, biologically female, cisgender folks, right?
And, uh, so, like, I was there with one of my platonic female friends, but she's the sort of person where if she likes something, you can't really criticize it at all, or, like, get, like, you know, she gets sort of antagonistic if you try to just have, like, a general discussion about a movie around her, and I didn't want to bring up any questions that might poke the bear.
So, but you seem like more even-tempered, so I'll ask you this.
How did you feel as a woman during, like, the pretty overt finger-wagging monologue?
Because that's what triggered a lot of dudes.
Yeah, that triggered Ben Shapiro.
Like, I just thought it, I thought it, like, dragged the movie's pace to a screeching halt, like, even though, like, I agree with the messaging, like, and I felt like it was just, like, Yeah, I mean, you know, maybe I do deserve to get lectured at sometimes, and that's fine.
But I know a lot of guys are just like... It's just like, I guess.
How did you feel about it?
Did it make you feel empowered as a woman?
No.
It's hard to feel empowered by, again, a movie sponsored by Mattel based off of a Barbie.
But that's the funny thing.
It tries to sell you this feminist messaging.
And again, it's a Barbie movie sponsored by Mattel.
Their goal is to sell More dolls and also kind of sell like the Barbie aesthetic and like a line to the aging population.
Not aging, it's just like a slightly more adult population that liked Barbie back in the day.
That's kind of America Ferrera's character, right?
Her kid wasn't into Barbie at all.
Her kid didn't give a shit about Barbie.
It was her that was into Barbie because she's like, yeah, the mom.
She's the mom character.
And it is kind of trying to seem like it's just trying to sell Barbie to like this millennial age woman who played with Barbies as a kid and now needs this like pseudo empowering message to be fine with the fact that they're just purchasing you know, just dull stuff, which is fine. I love, I have
the Barbie shirt. I literally love pink.
I am a, I am a sucker for the slop also. I'm just saying I don't really care for,
I don't really get offended or find anything inspirational without a messaging from like a
massive movie like that. But, and also it was kind of like, oh like, okay, it's fine, it's whatever.
I think it's funny that guys got mad at it because it is kind of like the most basic 101
kind of, you know, argument about what it's like to be kind of like,
People love nothing more than going to a movie where it's just like literally any concept 101.
They just want like...
We've talked about it, I think, on the podcast before, so I won't belabor it too much.
But, man, The Matrix.
Just, like, Philosophy 101.
What if the reality in which you live in is, like, not necessarily real reality?
What if it's a dream or something?
And then, like, people were walking out of the movie with their minds blown.
And I was like, do you not dream at night?
Like, have you never fucking thought about this before?
Like, what happens when you're not talking?
Like, what's going on inside of your head?
It's just trying to explain patriarchy in the most simplistic terms.
In America, kind of.
Yeah, mechanical bulls and fluffy Macklemore shirts or coats with no shirt.
Dude, that was so funny.
I didn't hate the movie.
I sound like a hater.
I actually liked it a lot.
It's just, again, I don't really care about any message you're trying to fucking sell me in a fucking movie, to be honest.
That's fine.
And also, at the point where the consumerism and irony intersect, is that Barbie did drive sales.
People are loving Barbie.
But out of all the toys in the Barbie line, the one that people are loving the most is Ken.
Dude, Ken rocked in the movie.
I'm not even a Gosling person.
Yeah, because Ryan Gosling stole every single scene that he was in.
The horse thing was getting to me.
That was so funny.
Margot Robbie was perfect casting for that role.
And then Ryan Gosling, it was like, oh really?
But then when you watch the movie, you're just like, oh, every scene he's in, even with her, it's just like, he's just so funny.
He's really funny.
He's great.
So that was awesome.
I believe that the relaunch of Alan is also doing pretty well.
I think they were doing a limited relaunch of Alan because of the movie and it's doing pretty well.
The toys are selling.
At the end of the day, Mattel did their state of objective with the feminist Barbie movie.
Sell more male toys.
Ken, now with Action Penis.
Alan, also with Action Penis.
But those two penises are not compatible.
Also, doesn't it kind of just feel like, because we had this conversation before Barbie came out, like, no offense, you were like, oh, it's not going to hit a billion dollars.
And I was like, I think it will because it's just kind of like girl toy.
It's just girl toy where like Marvel has been kind of like boy toy for so many years, like the superhero genre, not to stereotype, obviously, a lot of women like and non-binary folks like Marvel.
It's just like it is kind of like directed more at men and like the Well, I feel like in any other year Barbie would have been like a quote-unquote surprise like half a billion dollar hit and everybody would have been perfectly satisfied patting each other on the backs.
I don't think anybody saw the fucking the weird organic Barbenheimer effect coming.
Like, Barbenheimer turned it into a genuine event.
I mean, dude, like, we were going to movie theaters and I was seeing people dressed in all pink next to people dressed in all suit.
Like, I was just like, this is fucking crazy.
This is the first time I've been to, like, it reminded me of back when midnight matinees were the thing, you know what I mean?
It had that vibe to it.
Because it was just like, people were dressing up, they were coming out in large groups to celebrate a thing, to just generate huge ad revenue out of anywhere.
So, like, I think that's tremendously interesting.
I love it.
I love being wrong when it's because of a fucking crazy interesting reason like this and not just because they're just like, yeah, but they put in a bunch of commercials and it worked, you know?
Like somebody on Twitter made a joke and all of a sudden this thing that would otherwise would have been like a modest to like big success is now just like a tremendous success.
Like, out of the, like, unreal levels of success.
And we've been saying that a lot recently.
It happened with Elden Ring.
It happened recently with Baldur's Gate 3.
This, like, stuff that, like, under most normal circumstances would be doing well, but, like, because of the market factors at play are doing incredibly well.
So, we love to see it.
I'm a consumer whore.
I love to spend my money.
Just give me products where they have my money.
Yeah, we live in America.
I love America and capitalism.
Give me your money so I can spend it on other stuff.
I did wear huge pink heels.
They were large.
And you had to buy them.
I'm assuming you didn't cobble them.
So there you go.
There's the market at work.
It's working.
It worked.
It made me pull out some pink heels.
I bought a Barbie shirt at one point, so there you go, it worked.
And you know what?
That's fine.
Nobody should feel bad about splashing a little cash on something they enjoy.
Support the things you like, you know?
As long as it's safe.
Anyway, let's move on to our Amuse-A-Bouche!
It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
Get ready for the Amuse-Bouche!
Good news everybody!
MTG and Carey Lake are fighting.
I always like to be able to announce stuff like this on the podcast because it's one of the, you know, we always say it, no matter who wins, we win.
Let them fight, etc.
You know, sometimes you've got to fight fire with fire.
And these two fiery, scrappy ladies are apparently going at it in the ring.
God, I hope.
But I don't know the details.
So I'm going to throw that over to Mike Rains.
Mike, is this an octagon situation?
Is this like the Musk v Zuck fight?
The fight that we're totally getting?
It's coming any minute now.
Sadly, it is not going to be settled in the Octagon, most likely.
Apparently, Blake and MTG view each other as rivals for the possible Trump vice-presidential pick, and therefore they are now very much opposed to each other because they both want to be the person who is the proverbial one heartbeat away from the presidency.
Given the fact that said president would be a morbidly obese man in his 80s who, when he was last president, was bragging about passing a dementia test.
And that doesn't get better four years down the line if you had gotten the dementia test and managed to crawl across the finish line on it.
Well, although I hate his stupid guts, I do have a good piece of advice for former President Trump, and that would be to solve this dispute over who gets to be your lady VP nom the way you know how.
Beauty pageants.
Just do a full-blown pageant.
That's what your fucking clown circus party is about anyway.
Let's cut out the middleman.
No debates.
None of that horse shit.
Just a live televised beauty pageant with all the candidates.
Show us what you got.
I don't know.
I'd have to see what their talents in...
You gotta see them in their bikini around, see what their talent is, see if they can like do the spin baton.
Have them answer some softball questions and see if they can like literally even put a sentence together.
Like I feel like that would be, that would be like Willy Wonka would be on standby with his little flute to get half of the fucking field out just like, I've got to answer you three pre-screened softball questions.
Do you love America?
And then they just sweat and they say something nonsensical and he just plays the flute and Oompa Loompas come and carry them away.
Um, other people in Trump's inner circle have stated that they are not likely to pick either Lake or MTG for vice president, but... Yeah, shocker.
Wow.
Probably because he would like to pick somebody that would make him seem more electable and not somehow less electable, you know?
I get that he's a confected felon and all, but you know who I really like is his running mate, the lady who's afraid of Jewish space lasers.
She's a very exciting candidate for vice president.
I would really love her to be in that seat.
Oh, it would be the most excitingest candidate for Vice President ever.
Man, I would be so happy if either of those two nutballs got the nod.
There was talk in the article from Rolling Stone that potentially Green would find her way into the Trump administration on some level, either a cabinet position or some sort of like staffer or aid to Trump in the White House itself.
Carrie should be press secretary, obviously.
She's such a fucking propaganda media whore.
But would the White House press pool allow her to have that soft glaze on the lens?
Would they let her just filter the shit out of that thing?
I picture one of Trump's aides, like, looking at the clipboard of the things he has to address, and then, like, he reads the next agenda on the line, and he just, like, gets a flop sweat, and he's just like, Okay, Mr. President, we have to find a position for Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the whole room just, like, braces for whatever horrible joke he's gonna make.
What sort of creepy joke is he gonna make?
Oh God.
And then like, I hope he just stares off into space like Mitch McConnell.
The Department of Fitness.
It's a new department.
Yeah.
No, I'm not going to take this softball layup.
You're not going to.
You filled the Sarge seat.
Sarge was the master of the softball layup.
Oh, no, I don't know.
You don't know what you did?
Oh, no.
I'm sorry.
I thought you were doing it on purpose.
Now I feel bad.
No.
I'm just talking.
What's funny is I believe the G-rated version of what Elle was talking about was someone was walking around my casino a couple days ago with a shirt that says, I believe in fitness.
Fitness taco in my mouth.
Oh yeah, the classic fitness meme is the Chihuahua.
They said, yeah, I believe in fitness.
Fitness whole pizza in my mouth.
That's a dude shirt toward the casino.
That's a guy.
That's a dude drop.
That is a great way to elucidate what sort of softball joke you were setting me up.
But, you know, the R-rated version of that.
Possibly even X-rated version of that.
Which is why I didn't go for it.
The punchline is not to turn me into the creepy weirdo that Trump probably is.
You're the creepy guy.
I mean, I'm at least, like, I'm creepy in my own time.
I'm creepy to myself, you know?
I'm like, I can't look myself in the mirror like a narcissist.
Yeah, it's fine.
Damn boy!
You put on some weight!
I think it's fine, personally.
You're a little creepy.
You're the creepy guy on the podcast.
You're mysterious.
I mean, is mysterious and creepy always the same?
I don't know, I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding, you're not creepy.
I don't mean to disparage you.
I mean, hey, you know what?
None of you fucks out there, I don't want you listening to this podcast if you think that I'm a creepy guy, unless you're paying for it, in which case, do you.
You know what?
I'm for sale, so if creepy is what you want, creepy it's gonna be!
No, that's not true.
That would destroy me, having to be a creep.
Creepy non-derogatory.
I actually, I was actually talking to somebody before this podcast about the audience, how to grow an audience and all that kind of stuff.
And this guy, they're like, get rid of Al, he's fucking creepy.
Actually, no, he hasn't listened to the pod directly yet.
He just wanted me to give him an overview of what the pod talks about.
And he stated that it is very impossible that due to the content we are producing that we have hate listeners.
We definitely do.
Yeah, absolutely.
And you know, and bully Adam.
I hope we get some laughs out of when we talk about stuff that isn't the shit that we're on the opposite fucking sides of the issue on.
Us being on the correct, proper side.
Those people being on the monstrous, evil side.
Yes!
She's like, yeah, I listen to the G.I.
Joe podcast mostly because I'm like a diehard member of Cobra and I think Cobra's great and G.I.
Joe's stupid fucks.
It's like, yeah, okay.
It's like when I'm not building the death lasers so I can evaporate the Eiffel Tower for no fucking reason.
I hate listening to the G.I.
Joe podcast.
There's actually, I do know we have at least one hate listener because there's this like far-right like fake outlet here that's run by a like Christian nationalist organization and it poses as a news outlet and they actually wrote about one of our episodes Incredible.
I encourage them to visit our Patreon at patreon.com slash pokerpolitics.
They complained that I talked about smoking weed.
They were kind of like characterizing me as a degenerate because I told you that some people think that way.
Which is funny because it's legal here.
And it's like, yeah, they were characterizing me as a degenerate because I was talking about smoking weed on this podcast.
So we at least have one hate listener.
Yeah, and also, that's just the character you portray on the show, you know?
Yeah, I totally don't smoke weed.
Yeah, why would anyone smoke the jazz lattice?
That's a good way to get destroyed.
I'm not.
Okay, let's get back on topic and get back to the Carrie Lake v. MTG thing.
So is anything actually going to come of this?
We'll move on to gay Obama here in a moment.
I wanted to see if we needed to put a button on the MTG Carrie Lake thing.
Do you want my personal opinion?
I think Carrie's just trying to apply for anything right now.
She's like, please, someone just pay attention to me.
Who would Team Q support in this battle?
Carrie.
Well, I don't know.
Well, probably Carrie because her cases are still ongoing.
They kind of still have that little thread of hope that she's going to overturn the election here.
Yeah, the thing about that is that Marjorie still has the credibility of being the first Q candidate to take office and stuff, but she has sided with McCarthy and McCarthy is seen as not being very acceptable in the QAnon community.
Whereas, because Lake is not an elected official and has actually no real power, she can just be batshit insane and has no repercussions for her at all.
Because I saw recently someone was talking about, like one of the nutballs that I follow was screaming about how impeaching Biden isn't nearly good enough because impeaching him would indicate that he is the legitimate president and that he is being impeached from the presidency.
And that's bullshit.
And like, Terry Lake had a message like a week or two ago that was like, fuck impeachment, decertify 2020!
Yeah!
And this guy was like, Carrie Lake gets it.
She understands what's really going on in this world.
De-certified 2020!
So I think that because Lake is able to be totally untethered from reality, she's the candidate QAnon would be in favor of at this point.
Because MTG's... She's cozy with McCarthy!
Boo!
Hiss!
Oh God!
So yeah.
Fun stuff.
I do think it's interesting that despite the fact that you have a pretty solid pick and a good justification for why that would be your pick, it's still just like, yeah, isn't that crazy?
Neither of them are electable, though.
The Q power does not have the juice to get that one over the goal line.
As far as I know.
We'll see, though.
We've been surprised before.
Kerry Lake, Vice President, and then Empress for Life as soon as they get rid of the Tuskegee Constitution.
Okay, now we get to talk about whether or not Barack Obama is fake and or gay.
I enjoy that he might be both fake and gay.
Because I don't even know what that looks like.
How could you be both false and another?
Okay, anyway.
Mike, how is Barack Obama fake and gay?
I have not read the quote-unquote letter, but it appears that one of Obama's exes released a letter from a million years ago in which Obama talked to her about the fact that he had gay fantasies in his head about stuff.
And sexuality is on a spectrum.
These things exist.
You can be totally hetero in reality.
And daydream about such things.
That is not something that a person who's not crazy would understand and acknowledge.
But this unlocked this whole past history of Barack Obama's crazy gay lifestyle before he became president.
And so this brought back to the fore this guy named Larry Sinclair.
Larry Sinclair is a grifter with a long track record of criminal activity, and Larry would go to literally every shitty news outlet that would be willing to interview him, and he would talk about how he and Obama smoked crack and had gay sex and did all these crazy things back in the day.
And because he had no evidence for any of this and couldn't substantiate any of his claims, nobody really gave him the time of day.
But This week, because this Obama letter came out and everyone was back on this shit, our boy Tuk Tuk brought Larry Sinclair onto his Tucker on X show and had Larry tell us his same story he's been telling for the past, like, 15 years.
And it was just like, holy shit, Tuck, what are we doing here?
You literally had Donald Trump on last week, and now you have the Obama crack and gay sex guy on?
That was as good a guest as you could find?
What, did the Q Shaman cancel on you?
I mean, where are we going with this?
I mean, maybe he just had a mod because that does seem like a very, a very, a very interesting story.
You know, it seems like a sort of, it just sort of seems like the thing, the sort of thing that Tucker Carlson would really be into.
Yeah, tell me about how Barack Obama's a crackhead and a gay.
This was my favorite.
This was my favorite far-right commentator.
This is a former OAN woman and her little Chiron thing that she made says, Obama smokes crack and is gay?
For the listener who couldn't see it, that photo was obviously fake because I'm pretty sure that was Jessica Simpson.
I'm pretty sure she's Jessica Simpson.
This is Liz Wheeler.
Because I'm pretty sure that every blonde on OAN looks like Jessica Simpson and every brunette on OAN looks like whatever attractive brunette looks like in your head.
They clearly are just like, they've got like a casting type for OAN.
It's Telemundo all over again or whatever, you know?
You're all weather women from Mexico now.
Yeah, I was getting my teeth cleaned this morning.
I saw like a full-blown eight-and-a-half-month pregnant woman doing a news report on the local television, and I was just like, good for that network for not pushing back on that or giving her any shit about making her not be on camera.
They better pay her maternity leave.
Absolutely.
But I feel like if it was even like ten years ago or whatever, they'd just be like, yeah, you can't be in front of the camera looking like that.
We're dickheads.
Woman?
Yeah.
A woman?
A child inside a man?
Gross!
Get out of here.
We really liked the part before that.
We'll get Titan and away from the site.
get tight and away from the site.
To tighten out of sight.
That's how we like it.
Bye.
Put that out to merch.
Mike Rains looks flabbergasted.
Mike Rains is like a man who has lost control of his podcast.
When do I ever have control of it?
Oh my god!
I just think they're slightly shaking their head at us.
Okay, so this guy has no credibility.
Fucking Tucker Carlson has the mod to talk about how Obama smokes crack and is gay or whatever.
Everyone's talking about how he's gay.
Oh my gosh, it's so funny though.
I saw people that were like, Obama lied to us about being gay, so his whole presidency was a lie.
Like, that's not how it works!
Like, okay, then it's illegitimate.
Then you guys win.
It was an illegitimate presidency.
Like, I don't care at this point.
Like, believe what you want.
I just thought the commentary was fun.
Also, why is this guy clueless to what happened?
Like, wasn't Barack Obama's life pretty well-documented, like, for a while there?
Oh yeah, I mean, this is the thing that is so ridiculous about all of the commentary about Obama and Michelle Obama is we pretty much have this well-documented paper trail of Obama basically from college onward where he We know what he was doing.
We know where he was.
We know all the stuff that was going on.
And you have to create this alternate reality where there's this other timeline that while Obama was in Chicago, he was literally going to every gay club imaginable and just hooking up with all these dudes left and right.
And nobody brought this up.
Nobody was like, hey, wait a minute, we should probably call this out.
One of my favorite things about Obama's ascendancy to the national stage and then the presidency was that he won his Senate seat mostly because of the fact that his campaign got the divorce uh, testimony, they got the divorce court stuff to come out
of his opponent because his opponent for the Senate was this guy was, was married to a Jerry
Ryan, who most famously known as the Borg lady seven of nine from Star Trek, who was as the kids
would say a smoke show and Jerry Ryan.
Basic. This guy was taking her to swingers clubs and like wanted other dudes to have sex with her
and wanted to make her watch him bang other chicks. And this was so like beyond the pale,
the guy had to drop out of the race because it was like, Holy shit. And it was also like, bro,
You're banging the board chip?
Chicken, that ain't good enough for you?
Like, really?
You're still on the prowl at this point?
Oh my god.
So, I would think that if that guy was being attacked by Obama for, like, his marriage going down the rocks because he was a freak, I think that guy would have been like, oh yeah, by the way, Obama, my opponent, is a gay who's just having all kinds of crazy gay sex with any man he can run into.
And I think that guy would have taken it into the gutter right quick, because the Obama campaign brought him into the gutter real quick.
But somehow, someway, nope, that guy was just like, dammit, I don't have any substantiation for the gay allegations against Obama, so I guess I just have to leave this race now.
I was just going to say, I don't like how weirdly horny the beginning of our podcast has been today.
I didn't know we were going to have to be talking this much about Obama gay sex when we were making all the blue jokes earlier.
So, uh, let's, let's, let's transition and just bust in, bust a wise on.
I just have to say real quick though, like in right wing world, like, Obama like this is just a way to not that I'm like a big like Obama guy It's just like it's just a way to denigrate like the first black president because like in right-wing world.
It's like okay, Obama's gay Michelle is actually Mike in trans and you know a man and Their kids aren't their kids.
They're actually like the surrogates of some Indian couple, you know And trans and gay and trans they helped killed they helped kill a man on a boat who was their chef Paddleboard.
Paddleboard.
Whatever.
I'm just saying, it's just like, man, the spectrum of sexuality in the Obama family is quite woke.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you only get the words Obama is gay out of your mouth.
So the next words out of your mouth can be Michelle is a dude.
That's the whole point of it is just to skip right past the homophobia to go straight to the transphobia.
That's the whole goal.
Speaking of transphobia, I'm finally getting out of this quagmire of Obama being fake and gay.
Sorry.
Let's talk about Ding Dong, whose name I don't know, because we threw this one out at the last second just because we were talking about it because it's hilarious.
The human toe.
Yeah, a guy who looks like a human toe losing his fucking goddamn mind and going viral because of it over the fact that the Hit new video game Starfield has a pronouns option and he just my god he's just like dude I love my video game immersion but you pulled me right out of it when you asked me for pronouns how fucking dare you I have played the first they ask you for that like 10 minutes into the game and then they just use whatever option you choose and that's that
I mean, I think you might have an opportunity to change it later, but is that like a bridge too far in your 200 hour RPG where you could also grab a space mining laser and shoot a dinosaur lizard with it?
Like, I don't know.
Like, who cares?
Just give them your fucking pronoun and for the rest of the game they address you as he.
They do that.
The only game I've played is basically Skyrim, which is like, what, fucking 15 years old at that point?
And like, yeah, you choose your fucking gender and that's it.
That's how games are.
Yeah, no, this is the same people that made Skyrim.
This is just their space version.
But at the beginning of it, they're just like, here's your body type, you know, make your character look how they want to look, and oh yeah, by the way, what pronouns do you want?
And this guy's losing his fucking mind.
I wish I was realizing gender is like a thing.
I wish I knew a way to get people to watch it without giving him any exposure that's positive.
Like, try to find a TikTok of somebody reacting to this guy, because it's hilarious.
He just yells the word pronouns at one point, like Alex Jones, like, staring wild-eyed down the barrel of the camera.
He just goes, PRONOUNS!
And then it just, like, vibrates with, like, an intense fury.
It's very funny.
I highly recommend it.
And that's just, uh, that's the Boosh Recommendo of the week.
Uh, and with that, we'll move on to the final Boosh topic of this week.
Uh, I will try to say it slowly so she can finish eating her food.
It's the Arizona Watch with Hayley.
Gulp.
I'm sorry, I thought we were going to talk about the toe guy longer.
I took a bite of my apple.
I don't know any information about him.
Do you know information about him?
I didn't do any research.
Just some guy going viral.
You didn't look at his name, Mike?
No.
He's not important.
It was just funny.
It's just people realizing that like...
Something that's always existed and then raging out about it, you know?
It's like when they were freaking out that Bud Light was sponsoring Pride events, it's like, oh, you mean the thing that's always existed?
Or like, they're getting mad at Drag Queen Story Hour, it's like, oh, you mean a thing that's existed my entire life?
Okay.
I mean, these are the same people that brought you Jesus.
Like, keep your pronouns away from Jesus, you know?
And in that book, they reference Jesus as he or her, like, roughly a thousand times.
Do you ever get tired of, like, do these people ever get tired of, like, Like getting riled up by something that's always existed that they just realized because like Matt Walsh told them it's time to get mad about this.
They love it when that happens.
It's so annoying.
It's like manna to heaven for them.
They're just the opposite of Mike Rains.
We know Mike Rains and his lust for battling those people is endless.
They're like the characters in that terrible anime Scride.
The end result of it is that they are locked into an endless battle where nobody will ever come out the victor.
Everyone loses forever, always.
Spoiler warnings for a shitty anime from 20 years ago.
No, it's just so funny that a lot of people have posted this, that Pokemon asks you, are you a boy or a girl at the start of the game?
I mean, your gender select has been a part of games since forever, once character creation became a part of games, because basically at the start, when the start of games, your protagonist... Yeah, but you're not supposed to lie, Mike!
You're supposed to look down at your junk and fucking plug that information into the game.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You're just like, hey, I am, checks down, has penis, a boy.
And that's a contract between you and Nintendo.
If you catch any Pokemon under that and you're not a boy, Those are not your- they will remove those Pokemon from you by law.
Professor Oak will come.
He'll kick open your door.
And he'll take your Pokemon and your lover.
Your Pokemon collection is as illegitimate as Obama's presidency if you lie about that shit.
It's just the way it works.
Yep.
So, but I mean, like, the thing is, is that at the start, your protagonist in these video games was a dude.
You had Mario, you had Link.
When Metroid revealed that the protagonist was a female, that was shocking!
Our little brains exploded when we got the bikini shot of the Metroid lady, and it was like, I've been playing a girl this whole time?
Adios mio!
I mean, that was, like, the most crazy thing.
And then eventually at some point we were like, what if you as the player, like, chose your gender?
Wouldn't that be wild?
And it's just like, oh my God.
It's not controversial.
It's just this guy's raging.
Well, he went viral, so.
Yeah.
Don't worry.
I'm sure that the internet has done its thing and we know who he is and where he used to work for before he got fired for going viral for screaming pronouns.
Unless you're one of those guys who just gets to be some sort of right-wing dipshit fucking Twitch streamer who plays video games for white incels for a living, in which case, unfortunately, enjoy your 50,000 new subscribers or whatever you dickhead.
Anyway, now let's talk about Arizona.
I guess?
Is there anything to talk Arizona about?
Yeah, was there anything specific, Mike?
We got Blake Masters.
He's he's apparently he wants to run for the U.S.
Senate seat against Kristen Sinema and Ruben Gallego and Mark Lamb.
Again, beauty pageant.
Sheriff Mark Lamb.
Kerry Lake also may jump into this race.
This is the one that like it's the the the media keeps speculating like is she going to be the vice president?
Is she going to jump into this race?
Is she going to fuck off forever?
No to the last one.
So Blake Masters is an interesting ghoul of a character.
He was not born here.
He technically did go to high school here in Tucson at some private school and then he fucked off to Stanford where he became the ghoul-in-chief under Peter Thiel.
He's a Peter Thiel guy.
He is the co-author to that Zero to One book that Peter Thiel wrote.
And he was like his number two, basically.
For some of his companies, I forget because I don't give a fuck.
So he bankrolled the last time Masters ran here back in 2020.
And he lost bigly.
Wasn't it 2020, or was it 2022?
Oh, 2022.
Sorry.
Yeah, because he lost to Kelly pretty decisively, and I remember him lagging badly behind Lake, because Lake was very close to actually winning against Hobbs, whereas Masters the whole time was considered just absolutely DOA, no shot.
I think he did worse than Mark Fincham.
Oh yeah, he absolutely did.
Which is awful.
That's awful.
Sorry, 2022.
The years are blending.
But yeah, so Blake Masters, I think Peter Thiel put like 20 million into that campaign.
And he lost pretty hard because he has no personality and he like pretends like he's from here and like an Arizonan, but like he fucking Barely went to school here and he's mostly like a like Silicon Valley type guy.
He represents the general Arizonans ideal picture of the ubermensch, right?
Yeah, he's super not ghoulish.
He has these videos where he's just like, here's me shooting a gun in the desert, and he doesn't look like a school shooter who couldn't whatsoever.
I say this with an unblemished record of heterosexuality, but he looks good.
Yeah, you think so?
You like him?
You like that guy?
I don't actually know what he looks like, but in my head, he's just mad Aryan.
Oh, he's, he's very, he can, he's like, he's just like Pushman Walker.
What's his name, Blake Masters?
Yeah, Blake Masters.
Yeah.
Oh God, he is just like this thin, he's, he's basically to me, he's like kind of like an unhuman.
He's like, he's like the Uncanny Valley of human beings.
He's the ghoul.
Yeah, I mean he's got some real sharp features.
Man, wow.
You gotta find those gun videos.
It's very alarming.
If you just took over him with a British accent, or like a Welsh accent, like I would totally buy that.
Anyway, it's very disappointing.
I pictured him as being like the ubermensch.
This race is so funny to me, this Senate race.
So he's trying for Sinema's seat this time.
Sinema I don't think has technically announced, even though it's assumed she's going to run on the independent ticket.
Kerry has not announced whatsoever because she's like, I think she doesn't want to announce because that would kill her chances at VP.
So she's like holding out to see if Trump will pick her.
And then if he doesn't pick her, she'll go for that Senate seat.
I don't think the timing is going to work for her on that.
Oh, really?
Yeah, no, because you have to be, I mean, unless Trump was to pick his nominee for vice president wicked early, I don't see that happening.
She kind of has to get in.
So I feel like, because I thought there was like this kind of unwritten contract between Blake and Lake that they were not going to run against each other.
And so I think him jumping in is him basically getting the sign from her that she's not going to do this.
So he's going to Be terrible and try to throw more of Peter Thiel's money into a fireplace in an effort to win this seat.
Because this is going to be a very weird campaign if Sinema does run because I guess Blake's basically hoping that Gallego and Lake split the Democratic side and he gets it.
But I don't know that Sinema actually has a constituency anymore because Sinema has just been so dog shit.
It's McCain Republicans.
Yeah, so she's actually going to eat from Masters' voters and not Gallego's.
To me, Arizona's just moving more Normie Dem across the board, and Gallego is the Normie Dem, so he's just favored by default because Sinema is insane and Masters is a right-wing neo-Nazi.
What Haley has brought up a few times is this video.
If you haven't watched this video, it is the weirdest fucking ad.
Because this isn't just Blake Masters on YouTube or something.
This fucking thing ends with a smash.
The graphic smashes on the screen.
Blake Masters for Senate.
What the ad is, is literally Blake Masters being like, Walther PPK, German gun, love it, really want to shoot it.
And then he puts a silencer on it.
He goes, silencers get a bad rap, but I like silencers because no ear damage when you're firing your gun.
And then he just like, shoots a gun a lot.
And he's just like, yeah, gun.
And it's really weird angles.
It's just like, not well made.
It's just really disturbing.
Like, is this a horror movie?
And twice in the movie, and twice in the video, he states that the gun was made in Germany.
He really wants you to know that this is a German-made gun for some reason, which is fucking bizarre.
I don't understand how you would ever release this video because I don't know how Blake Masters wasn't going to win the Republican primary because he had Peter Thiel money to buy him the nomination.
But who are you trying to win in a general election being like, I like this German gun a lot, I'm gonna shoot it with a silencer on it.
Yeah, silenced German gun.
That's me.
Blinkmasters for Senate.
What the fuck are you doing?
It'd be like me running an ad where I'm just like, Hi, I'm Mike Rains.
I like these Copaq cards.
They shuffle a lot cleaner than the cards you buy at CVS like Aviator or Bee.
Yeah, these are Copaq cards.
They're made in Germany.
Mike Rains for Senate.
Your hobbies are not campaign issues.
Calm the fuck down, buddy.
I like his policy on those cards.
Yes.
You know, they do feel better.
Yes.
But I cannot forget to leave out the actual person who's in the race, because this is why this race is so fucking funny to me.
Because everybody's like, is Blake Masters going to jump in?
Is Carrie Lake going to jump in?
Oh, what are the odds of Carrie Lake beating Gallego?
And it's like, not at least people are in the fucking race yet.
Gallego's in the race.
Gallego's the person actually that is officially in the race.
And also Sheriff Mark Lamb.
Sheriff Mark Lamb is the Pinal County Sheriff here, and he He is a character of a person.
I think he thought he was gonna do way fucking better because he's like a he used to do like marketing and when he became a sheriff he decided to do the like big cowboy hat um you know tactical vest that says sheriff on it um and like he he's really popular like in the right-wing media sphere Nationally?
Like, a lot of right-wing media grifters will come here and film stuff at the border here as if he's a border sheriff.
He's not.
But it's easy to pretend.
And they'll ask him about all these border issues.
He'll go show them, like, you know...
The quote-unquote rape trees, which is just a anti-immigrant conspiracy that's prevalent at the border.
Arizona sounds like a great place.
So yeah, he just does anti-immigrant border propaganda with right-wing media a lot.
So he's popular in the national right-wing media sphere.
was on Live PD before that show got canceled because they like killed a person on TV.
Shit happens sometimes.
Yeah.
And then he also has like a Roku show about his the department that he runs, which is just like, how is this fucking allowed?
So, yeah, he's like a media guy.
He's a big personality.
Um, and he is not doing good whatsoever here because, first of all, the media just, like, doesn't even mention him.
I was reading all those articles about Blake, uh, possibly announcing.
None of them mentioned that Lam is actually in the race, which I thought was fucking hilarious.
And all his emails are so pathetic because he's just not getting attention.
He's not getting donations.
He's literally like, yeah, this is the last one, the last few I got.
We're 77% short of our goal and it starts with August has been a rough month for fundraising.
Bummer.
Way to rally your troop association.
The next one was like, I need you to read this email entirely.
And I'm not even fucking kidding.
That's what it said.
Sometimes I wonder if folks think that the fundraising emails and text campaigns that I send are a joke.
I try to look at the analytics of every email we send within a few days of deployment to get a sense of who is engaging with our content.
But from what I can see, people open our emails, but not a lot donate after reading.
Opening an email without donating is a lot like window shopping.
Perhaps you'll come back later and make a purchase, but there are no guarantees.
Like, what is this?
What is this?
What is this?
This is a weirder campaign than literally Blake Masters.
Nice.
So anyway, that's the sheriff.
He's not doing good.
I think that's the funniest thing about this election so far.
Fuck Sheriff Lam.
You know who might be able to save him?
He could hire Ron Watkins as his campaign advisor.
He could teach him how to do that powerful hand squeeze.
Yes, your rights will be kept.
Safe.
And that's how you know that he really means it.
Yes.
Okay, let's get out of our boosh for the week and then speedrun a news segment.
Thankfully, it's kind of a slow news week, but we're obligated by blood to do it.
From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News.
Okay, well, we should have queued up the other bumper to just play immediately so that way I didn't have to segue into it.
But let's roll that other one because we have it now.
It's the segment on the show everyone hates to do and we're sorry, but we need to talk about Elon.
Yeah, our buddy Elon, just like always, is throwing a shit fit over something in his continued agenda to tank X, formerly Twitter.
This week, he has decided that, you know, maybe it's not his fault that all of his advertisers are leaving his platform, but he's been a pretty spicy scapegoat.
Mike Rades, who's Elon casting his baleful eye upon this week?
So Elon has decided that the ADL, the Anti-Defamination League, which is a league that fights Holocaust denial.
Defamation.
Defamation.
I'm sorry, I can't speak.
I'm incoherent.
But they're basically a group that tries to prevent anti-Semitism from being widespread.
And because Elon has let a ton of Nazis back onto his website, the ADL has been like, yo, Elon, not cool.
This is not great.
And so Elon has decided that the ADL is running off all of his sponsors and all of his advertisers, and it's their fault that X is floundering hopelessly right now.
And so he has stated, and I take this with a shaker of salt, that he is going to sue the ADL for like, you know, maybe like $22 billion or something like that.
Because that's about the amount of money they've cost him by removing advertisers from X, which is a great lawsuit.
Because what I like to do when I'm running a giant business is to broadcast to the world, hello world, I run a business.
My business is failing massively.
I am losing money hand over fist.
And you know who I'm going to sue over this?
Jewish people.
I'm going after the Jews because they are making me lose money for my failing company.
So that this way, when you hear about X, not Twitter anymore, but X, you think to yourself, oh, right, that failing social media platform that Elon Musk is running into the ground.
Because Elon is a genius when it comes to marketing and how to put information out there.
Nobody would ever say that because they would just be like, hey, this thing is happening on X. And somebody would be like, on what?
They'd be like, Twitter.
They'd be like, oh, right.
Yes!
Right, exactly.
I stopped using it when that nut came on and then all the Nazis came back.
I like Elon Musk's creative way of getting out there and really telling people that he's
already devalued his own company by half.
Yes.
Yes.
22 is a pretty specific number.
It seems like it's exactly half of 44.
Right.
It's just like, yeah, you know, not to put too far of a point on it, but let's just say that they're responsible for half of my company being worthless or, you know, devalued by half, however you want to spin it.
It's their fault.
The Jews!
They had disseminated by rebuffs this argument, but I do have to croak it out.
I think the Jews are bad with money.
And everyone's just like, Elon, what?
You insane monster!
I really do have to say that, like, because again, I monitor more like Nazi world.
They are thrilled with what the hell's going on.
Wait a minute, is that our Hailey quote for the week on our supercut?
Yes, I engage in Nazi social media.
DING DING DING!
I ENGAGE WITH NUTSY BIRD!
DING DING DING DING DING DING!
He supercut it.
It goes on the eventual cancelling.
Haley revels in the supercut.
That's going to be our Christmas gift to the listeners.
As soon as we get an editor.
But yeah, like neo-Nazis, Nazis, fascists, people like Nick Fuentes, people like Andrew Torba, who runs Gab, they see this as a win because they see it as like, they don't care about the, this is not about the politics of ADL, erase any idea of what you think politically of the ADL.
This is literally just a stand-in for him like quote-unquote naming the Jew.
They love that he's doing it on a public platform and kind of like, Yeah, he's pretty furious that there's no such thing as a way to sue a Jedi.
Otherwise, he just would have been like, these stupid Jedi ruined half of my revenue.
Because I think a lot of it's like, like, like Andrew, there was a lot of, I even kind of made jokes about it, like, oh, Andrew Torbo is gonna be like, so pissed that like, Gab is kind of irrelevant now.
But, like, he doesn't he doesn't seem to care whatsoever that Gab has lost all the Nazis to Twitter because, like, his goal is more mainstreaming Christian, white, Christian fascism.
Torba.
I mean.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And keeping Gab afloat is kind of meaningless to him.
He's just a crazy Nazi scumbag.
And you can quote me on that, Torbs.
Fuck you, buddy.
Yeah, fuck you.
I really, I never, I haven't been on Gab in a dog's age.
There's no need anymore.
There's no need.
I went on it recently and it's like, it's snooze, it's snoozeville.
It's snoozeville.
It's occasionally, it's like a few, few like fucking Nazis who are still think that Elon is, you know, not good enough.
He's still not good enough.
It's like the worst people.
I love the idea that a Nazi would be like, you know, Twitter, the massive reach I get for my $8 checkmark on Twitter isn't worth it.
And truth social, I don't trust Trump because of Jared Kushner.
The only place my anti-Semitism can go is Gab.
It's safe there.
It's just like, oh my god, you have to be such a niche lunatic to still... I also love that Elon Musk isn't Nazi-friendly enough, considering, did he get his initial, like, is his family wealth from, like, a South African, like, jade mine or whatever mineral mine?
This is a very, very, very niche Nazi that's still ignoring... Yeah, I feel like if you're going down the list in terms of, like, Nazi ideology, it doesn't take a very... you don't read down that list very far before you get to, like, you know, fucking apartheid South Africa from the...
On the top of the popular and then you're reading down it and you're just like, oh, I don't have to get too far before.
Oh, there it is.
Wow.
Nice emerald mine there, ding dong.
Literally, Wendy Rogers, Sheriff Mark Lamb, Sheriff Mark Lamb's son, the fucker that we just talked about.
This got no attention.
This didn't make a single fucking article, which is wild to me.
His kid was teasing a shirt that was just a recreation of a Rhodesian army propaganda poster.
Uh, the be a man amongst men, but just with Sheriff Lamb in the picture instead.
And it's like, how did this not get attention?
Because not enough people are in that Rhodesia tip.
I guess it's just like, okay, it's like pretty explicit, like white pride bullshit right here.
Like, I mean, I wouldn't, I wouldn't know a Rhodesian propaganda poster if it was floating on the breeze.
I would be susceptible.
In the media, you should probably brush up on a few things.
I don't cover politics in the media.
I'm not scolding you!
I'm not scolding you, Al.
I am scolding the possible media person that is listening.
You know?
I'm not yelling at you either.
I didn't mean for that to come out yelling.
I'm being yelled at and scolded!
I'm so sorry!
I'm being yelled at and scolded!
I just wanted to be clear that I am not scolding you, sir.
I respect you and your mysteriousness.
Well, I think the main reason why I didn't get any attention is because you had a guy who was running for president, putting saunter ads in his fucking campaign videos.
So when you have Mark Lamb's dying presidential campaign going for niche bullshit involving Rhodesia, it's just like, Senate, Rhodesia, versus presidency, Nazis.
So it's just like, that's where the people go.
I mean, Amanda Moore has brought this up, and a lot of other people are bringing this up, is that if you are a Republican staffer under the age of 30 working in one of these shops, the odds of you being a Nazi are like 90%!
Like, all of these people!
I don't think people understand how radical young Republicans are right now.
Gen Z Republicans are like, esoteric Nazism is based.
Right, right, exactly.
I mean, it's just, it's just like, fucking, holy shit, we are dealing with people that are just out of their fucking skulls at this point, just, just absolute madness, just totally gone.
And When Donald Trump dies or loses his political relevancy, these people are going to be kind of without... They're not going to have a candidate anymore.
They're not going to have anybody.
There's no Republican in mainstream politics that is acceptable in polite society that can mainstream their bullshit this way.
DeSantis crashed and burned.
Vivek is a non-starter.
There's just nobody.
The Republican Party is going to just break into a million little fragments of hatred and anger and rich people who are just like, all of you bigots and pro-life lunatics, just shut the fuck up so I can get my tax cuts!
We never cared about abortion or Nazis or any of it.
I just wanted my money, goddammit!
I mean, you're just going to have all of that happening because the party is literally being held together by a 77-year-old man who is morbidly obese, nearly died of COVID, and doesn't exercise because he thinks it drains your body of its precious energy.
I mean, it's just the long-term prognosis for the Republican Party is bleak.
Oh, we like to think so.
Yeah.
Oh no, I was being quiet because I just noted that you have to let Mike Raines spin down like a top sometimes.
I figured you were crying.
Yeah, I was also crying.
And that got me all pricked up.
It's been a weird day.
So yeah, so Elon wants to go after the Anti-Defamation League.
Do we think he has a shot?
Answer, no.
I mean, I have to ask because kind of that's what the show is, but no, right?
There's no way that this... First of all, he's never actually going to do this.
And second of all, if he ever did, it would just be further evidence that he's intentionally trying to bleed all of his money in some Brewster's Millions style scheme.
As everyone has said, the idea that Elon would ever do this is absolute bullshit.
Prove to me that more Nazis are on X now than there were on Twitter.
Okay, boom.
Easily done.
Your Honor, I would like to leave the courthouse, please.
Everyone's pointed out is that if Elon was like, hey, it's time for Discovery.
I want to see what the ADL was saying to all these companies.
The ADL would be like, yeah, we told them that your platform was full of Nazis.
Now we would like Discovery on you and all the meetings you had with people where you were like, hey, Nazis, come back on my platform.
It's totally cool now.
And then Elon would be like, I would like to drop this lawsuit immediately.
There's no way he would ever let that happen.
He would agree to fight Mark Zuckerberg a lot quicker than he would agree to Discovery versus the ADL.
This is not even possible.
It's just madness.
Media companies should really stop paying for that gold checkmark on Twitter to advertise and also pay.
It's $1,000 a month at least.
I think that's a little ridiculous that a lot of advertisers have left and media companies have not started to distance themselves a bit from Twitter.
I don't know.
I at least in the paying form, like I think that's incredibly weird to a guy
who is openly has disdain and is kind of leading a hate campaign against the
Jews and also media in general.
Like he's he's.
You know, banned journalists and kind of like when it's.
He loves free speech.
No, that's wrong.
He's a free speech nationalist.
She would never do that.
I just think it's a bit weird to keep paying.
You can be on there.
I don't give a shit if you're on there and do whatever you want.
I'm not telling you what to do.
It's just I think it's weird that like actual media companies like ones that claim to be
progressive or you know just whatever are still paying for like the gold check official
business shit.
I think that's really weird.
Yeah.
I mean also you know I'll even be less diplomatic about it.
You're certainly allowed to do whatever you want, but I'm also still allowed to judge you for it.
So I am still judging anyone who's paying for X. That's insane.
You're an insane person for doing that.
Find a different way to get your word out there.
I mean, come on.
Look at what you're supporting.
Also, the ship is still sinking.
Regardless of the money that you're putting into it, like, you're trying to bail it out with a bucket.
Your bucket is real small.
And it is not going to work.
That shit is going to die.
That property is going to be devalued to the point where he is forced to sell it to some other, like, Facebook is going to buy it, and they're just going to relaunch Twitter.
That's exactly what's going to happen.
So, get ready for that to happen.
Threads will die, and it will become Twitter, and then Twitter will be back, now owned by Mark Zuckerberg.
And then he'll laugh so hard because he's just like, I didn't even have to knock his teeth out in the ring.
I just killed him financially.
Yeah.
Good stuff.
Yes.
Okay.
Speedrun.
Zoom, zoom.
Elon is a piece of shit.
We all know that.
Let's move on to a more positive dude.
The Proud Boys.
They fucked around, and now they're finding out.
Mike Rains, let's talk about pride in prosecution.
Yes.
So, Enrique Atario finally managed to do it.
He finally got one of these January 6th judges to nail someone for more than 20 years for seditious conspiracy.
And so, Enrique Atario Got 22 years for his involvement in the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
The prosecution made this very clear to the judge that this was the scalp they wanted because during their statements to the judge, they stated, this man was the ringleader.
This guy was the head of the operation.
So please hit him with a longer sentence than anybody else.
And the judge who had been putting everybody in jail for like about a decade or longer was like, fine, I will give him two decades and change.
So Enrique Tarrio, proud boy leader, is now not going to see the light of day for over 20 years.
Which is great, you giant moron.
Beyond him, we then had a fellow Proud Boy and a former InfoWars, I don't know what you would call him, correspondent, host, grifter, Joe Biggs.
Joe Biggs was involved in the attack on the Capitol and was also involved in the Seditious Conspiracy, and he got himself 17 years in prison, which he is now calling into InfoWars to piss and moan about, which, again, I don't know.
Don't storm the Capitol.
Don't be in a group chat with other Proud Boys talking about your plan to overthrow the government and to, uh... How about, like, don't pal around with or be a white nationalist?
Yeah, what a great fucking idea that would be.
Oh my god.
I love how you could just be like, what decision did I ever make to land me with this prison sentence?
It's just like, dude, your whole life has been a series of fucking shitty decisions that led you to this.
Shut the fuck up.
Yeah.
And so finally, there was a guy named Alex Shepard, who is a low-level, rank-and-file, shitty little QAnon grifter guy.
And he posted this incredible little tweet or X or whatever we call them now.
And he said, I was just sentenced to one year and seven months incarceration for my role in the protests on January 6th.
The government claimed that I stopped the certification of the election, and that my unapologetic claims of widespread voter fraud, along with my continued observation of the federal agitators on 1-6, meant that I had no remorse for entering the Capitol building that day.
Therefore, I needed maximum deterrence in order to keep the community safe and prevent me from continuing down this path of crime.
No shit, moron!
That is how this works.
When you are an unrepentant criminal, you get the longer sentence.
When you are a repentant criminal, you get the lesser sentence.
So this guy... Yeah, you just better hope whatever fucking medal that's waiting for you when you get out for doing that extra year or whatever you got for being a dickhead about it, like, is worth it.
Yeah!
You better hope that all those pats on the backs and free non-bud light beers are worth, like, you know, giving up an extra, like, 8 to 12 months of your life.
Yeah, exactly!
It's just like, the idea that this guy basically stormed the Capitol, that after storming the Capitol, after being charged, after being told, buddy, you're being charged for storming the Capitol, for interfering in the government activities, which I think is the standard- As your legal counsel, I would advise you to shut the fuck up.
Right!
Exactly!
As your legal counsel, I suggest you shut the fuck up and maybe I can keep your sentence down to less than a year.
And this guy's like, no, I'm just going to go on social media and talk about the Fed's erection.
And then how about Trump won 2020 and that shit was rigged.
It's all bullshit.
And then when you go see the judge and the three guys in front of you all get six months and then you stand before the judge and he's like, no, you get a year and a half.
Boom.
See you, moron.
And then you're like, but those guys, What?!
And you're like, yeah, they were all telling me how they reformed themselves, how they realized what they did was wrong on January 6th and decided that that was a bad thing that they had done.
That's why they got less time.
You absolutely are thrilled about what you did on January 6th.
You thought it was a good thing.
Therefore, you get punished more severely!
That's how this works, moron!
I just love that.
I just love this guy's pissing and going, oh, I got a long sentence because I'm unrepentant.
It's like, yeah, welcome to how the fucking legal system works, you idiot.
Wild stuff, but good to hear that the, you know, sometimes the system works and these dickheads are getting punished for flagrantly and apparently unrepentantly breaking the law.
Yes.
Good for them.
Yes.
I hope they learn something in prison.
Yes, you with 20 years, Enrique, you huge moron.
I hope he learns a lesson.
Can't even join the Aryan Brotherhood in jail, man.
He's going to be a real loner in there.
Poor guy.
All his other buddies are getting in jail.
Yeah.
Anyways.
Peace.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, you know?
Yeah, literally.
Yep.
Anyway, let's get to our sweaty mailbag for the week.
Our listeners got questions.
We got answers.
It's time for Q and A. Sweaty bag full of mail.
This is the song for the week.
Yeah, so we have a sneak question from listener Molly who messaged me on Facebook and said, what live action One Piece character do you want to make love to?
I don't watch this.
I don't watch this.
You ever been swept up by One Piece fever?
It's sweeping the nation, Hayley.
I don't watch that much.
Hayley, the nation is being swept.
Maybe you should take some time out of being a Nazi on TikTok or whatever.
Yeah.
I run Conservative Hype House.
I've only seen the first three episodes because I was watching them with pals.
I will say that it is surprisingly good.
I guess out of all of them so far...
I don't know.
None of the gents in that show are really doing it for me.
I have a specific type.
And the only woman on the show is Nami so far.
I guess Alvita's in it for a second.
So I guess Nami by default.
Sorry, but that's the answer you're getting.
I know that name because I do know a little bit about One Piece and I know that Nami Yeah, her defining characteristics physically are she's a redhead with big booba.
That's her deal.
I like that.
I like that.
This was who we would, what was the question?
Which one do you want to bone down with?
There we go.
That one.
Trying to go wrong with a redhead with big booba.
That one.
And I'm sure Mike Rance has an answer locked and loaded for this one.
Oh, I have no earthly idea.
I actually just did a search and I saw the redhead with big booba and I was like, that's the winner for me.
There's really not a lot of options on my menu here.
I love that the live action show is getting a lot of people into One Piece and I'm excited that more people are going to start reading and watching regular One Piece because of it.
Those people are going to be in for a world of surprise in a lot of ways, because the anime and the manga... One million episodes?
Well, I mean, everyone will tell them that it's a thousand episodes, and they'll be like, ah, that's fine.
If it's good, I'll get into it.
Everybody says it's great, so it should be fine.
And I like that gumption.
But the biggest thing is that, like, the art style is insane.
And, like, your average One Piece character stands anywhere from, like, four to, like, twelve feet tall, and then there are characters that are both larger and smaller than that, and it's not, like, that big of a deal.
But also, the creator of One Piece, he draws his women like one of two ways.
One of them are big fat women who are essentially just a big circle, and the other are women who are like, imagine an hourglass that was so thin at the center you were unsure it was going to work.
So those are the two types of women in One Piece.
Enjoy that.
You can tell he thinks of women.
Yeah, I mean, he just, I mean, you get like, and everyone is like hyper exaggerated, etc.
But I mean, like, again, like the men have a lot of varied body types of the women just sort of look one way.
So it's like, okay, like, don't get me wrong.
He's one of the greatest creative minds of like, our generation in terms of creative output in pop culture footprint.
But he's not like a saint.
And he's certainly not perfect or without flaws.
I do love Oda-san, but he's deficient in that one way.
His female representation leaves a lot to be desired physically.
Sometimes they're pretty well written, but that's either here or there.
Anyway, Nami by default for everyone.
Way to not have a lot of options for us, One Piece live action.
You have failed us.
Failed the vector test.
Yep.
So Peachtree Dish asks, where is Sarge?
Sarge is back on his home planet now.
He's dead.
Yeah.
Sarge died and then his corpse was brought back to the planet he originated from.
I get it.
You don't like me.
It's fine.
Look what you did, Peachtree Dish!
Why did you make Hayley cry?
I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding.
It's okay, she deserves it.
She yelled at and scolded me earlier.
I did, I did get a little raised.
I didn't mean to, I just get a little excited sometimes.
No, it was just a scheduling conflict.
Sarge had an employment change and could no longer free up this slot for recording.
And our schedules otherwise are pretty all over the place.
You know, we just had to make a call as to whether or not we could make it work, and it turns out we couldn't, so Sarge had to see to his paper stacks, which we all totally get.
Yeah, it is very bizarre that me and Al managed to have two schedules where midday Wednesday is our free time to do some wacky stuff!
So I mean, it's just... Yeah, previously it also just happened to work out that Sarge was in the same boat, but he got a better employment opportunity where that was no longer the case.
Because that's pretty fucking weird.
Yeah, so yeah, we're already auditioning for when Hayley actually gets called to capitalism and gets a regular 9-to-5 job as well.
Baker's hours.
Perish the thought.
Molly Parton over here.
My hours are from, you know, like midnight to 4am and then you wake up for a little bit and then you do a little bit more work in the middle of the day and then you go to sleep randomly and then you go to the bar for a bit and then you pass out.
Okay, well, we'll have to have a talk off mic about what that means, because based on that, I don't know what you do for a living, and the only guess I could make might be rude.
But I don't want to talk to you, so I'll take my questions off air.
And finally, Cleodora Silvestri, the Hellworld Grand Inquisitor, asks, if you had to place a bet on which Trump co-defendant flips on him first for a plea deal, who do you place your money on?
Well, right now it feels like some of the Georgia fake electors are already kind of saying, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
When I got real legal counsel, they offered me all kinds of magical things that I wasn't previously aware of.
So my answer is mostly anyone involved in the Georgia RICO case that isn't.
God, Sidney Powell.
I could not remember her first name.
I was like, Powell, Powell, Powell, and finally Sidney jumped in there.
Because Sidney's a true believer.
She's absolutely insane.
And she would never flip.
She's gonna go to jail for forever.
She's a true soul.
She's got one of those parasites in her brain.
Yes!
And I believe...
Eastman just had his effort to not have his case with, he wanted to separate his case from Powell because she's nuts.
And I believe the judge just said, no, you don't get to separate.
So go to hell.
Yes.
Oh, God.
So I think all around- Your Honor, I would like to separate my trial because my coca spirit will make me look incredibly guilty.
Yes.
Yes.
She's unhinged that way, you know.
In fact, it was kind of an egg on our face for inviting her to the criminal conspiracy to begin with.
Oh, it was Cheeseburrow is trying to separate from Powell.
They're all trying to separate her.
They know she's nuts.
They know she's going to go to jail for forever.
So all the slightly smarter criminals are just like, yo, Sydney, you can go do your own trial.
It's going to go great, girl.
You got this.
So, yeah.
So, oh man.
And also, recently Trump has said some stuff about the guy that was moving the boxes for him at Mar-a-Lago.
And he's like, oh yeah, that guy was moving those boxes on his own volition.
I don't know what that crazy box-moving guy was doing.
So, whatever.
Whatever Walt the box-mover was doing, I had nothing to do with it.
I don't know what you're talking about.
So, Walt, get a new lawyer.
Maybe.
You're probably in some trouble here.
And right before we went on air, I saw some transcripts.
I didn't actually see the clips, but there was an interview with Hugh Hewitt, right-wing grifter.
Apparently, he interviewed Trump, and they asked him about the boxes, and Trump was like, no, I didn't talk to anyone about the boxes.
When you're the president, you can just move boxes.
It's totally okay.
It's legal to do that.
The president has authority to do whatever he wants.
And then they asked him some further questions.
He's like, oh yeah, I'm going to take the stand and explain that to everybody.
And Hewitt was like, you're going to testify?
And Trump was like, yeah, I'm going to testify.
It's going to be great.
And it's like, I cannot imagine Trump's lawyers not shitting themselves at the idea of Trump being like, yeah, let me on the stand.
I'm going to tell it like it is.
No way he purchases himself.
No, no way, no way on earth Trump doesn't get destroyed on cross examination and commit 100 counts of perjury.
Zero.
No chance.
Oh my God.
There, there could not be a worse disaster imaginable than letting that man testify under oath.
Oh my God.
what, like, if you're Trump's lawyer, what do you do after you finish your direct
examination? Like pull a fire alarm.
You're just like, thank you, Mr.
Trump. No more questions.
And then you like touch your nose or whatever.
And you have your assistant like run out to the hall and pull a fire alarm before the
prosecutor can start cross-examining him.
Because, oh, my God, the moment Trump starts getting questioned, it's going to just go
to shit immediately.
I can't wait for that time to be the present.
Oh, God.
I if the best part about the best part about the Georgia trials is that they're going to
be televised and Fox News won't be able to just like, because I've had people tell me
they're like, you know, these trials are gonna be bad for Trump.
But like Fox News is going to spin everything they can and it's not going to be on TV.
So people aren't going to be able to see it.
And I said, that's going to be true for like a lot of the federal shit, but the Georgia stuff, Like Fox News isn't going to be able to gatekeep that shit.
People are going to want to watch it.
So if Fox doesn't air that stuff live, then the Fox viewers are going to go to the networks to watch it live because they're going to want to see it.
And that's going to be when the rubber really meets the road on these crimes because people are just going to see.
All of these shitbags either getting cross-examined and destroyed, or they're just going to see the prosecution being like, here's the massive evidence of these people trying to overturn the election in Georgia.
Here are their crimes.
Here is the evidence for those crimes.
So, I mean, it's just going to be so, so shitty across the board.
I'm so happy that the Georgia courtroom proceedings are going to be televised.
It's going to be great.
Also, they would be leaving just mad ratings on the table, right?
Don't they have shareholders or whatever they're beholden to who would be like, hey, why the why the fuck are we letting real news outlets just eat our lunch during these proceedings?
Right, exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So and that brings us to our question at the end.
And the mailbag, as always, is what are you guys looking forward to?
It's Starfield Lunch Week, y'all.
Which is a little harder for me to get excited about because of the exromulent time I've been putting into Baldur's Gate 3 with my pals but it's time to be isolated in space by myself for a while I guess and shooting pirates with space guns the way that exploration in space is meant to be.
In the tutorial they're just like Here, do a thing, and then suddenly it's just like, okay, and for your next step of the tutorial, it's kill these ten guys.
And it's just like, what?
I'm just supposed- like, so far, I've just been like a dude.
I'm like a dude with a regular job.
And then it's just like, okay, now I'll learn how to fly this spaceship.
And then it's just like, oops, some guys did- now you get to kill them in space!
Kill these guys!
And you're just like, wow.
I went from regular dude to fucking mass murderer very quickly.
There was just like no... In Skyrim, you're like running around, like escaping a burning, like, you know, like village or whatever, not fighting anything.
You're just escaping a dragon attack and creeping around in some caves for a while.
Then eventually you shoot a bear or something, you know?
But in this one, it's just like, nope, you just help us murder these people with a mining laser.
You're like, okay, cool.
You got it, boss.
Can do!
But yeah, so that'll be a fun time.
I do tend to like those Bethesda games, but it's been a while since I've really sunk my teeth into one.
But you know, obviously Skyrim is an all-timer, and I would personally consider Fallout 3 an all-timer as well, so I am excited to see what Bethesda has to offer with their first new IP in 20 years!
Way to fucking finally do something new, Bethesda!
What are you looking forward to, Hayley?
Um, not much.
It's a big not much, as usual for me.
I'm gonna go try a new bar.
Is that anything?
That's something.
That's a thing.
As long as you're happy with it, and it's something that you were looking forward to, then yes, it counts.
Although I will say, for the casual listener, it may sound kind of grim.
You're just like, I'm not interested in much, except, oh, I'm going to a new place where I can get drunk.
Is that a thing?
I'm gonna go grab a drink with someone and it's gonna be fun.
It's a new bar and I'm excited to try it.
I don't know, it's a new bar.
I'm just saying it could be read and it's a try. It's a new bar and I mean, I'm
I'm I'm excited to try it. I don't know. It's new bar It's not a new bar. It's just a new bar. I'm going
What are you talking about this recently?
How do you feel about them?
My friends and I have come to the conclusion that we like the idea of them more than the practice of them.
That's my opinion also.
They're too crowded and the food usually sucks and the games are usually broken.
I like just regular arcades, honestly.
There's like a really cheap one in town that's like, it's only open really weird hours.
It's open from like 8pm to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and you pay $12 and you can be just in there.
Oh, it's just free play?
Yeah.
And all the games, you just play them.
Hey, even if you want to soak me for quarters, just give me a well-maintained, well, like, you know, manicured in terms of like its selection.
There's so many in there.
How did they fit all these?
Dude, let me decide if I'm drunk in the arcade.
Let me choose that adventure for myself.
I'll take you.
I'll take you to this.
It's a good place, I think.
The problem is that it's in Arizona, isn't it?
Yeah, but don't you want to see?
Don't you want to have some fun in Arizona?
I mean, hey, I do love an arcade.
Do not get me wrong.
I mean, we'll do more than go to the arcade.
We'll do a lot of fun stuff.
There's a JFK bar that I want to take Mike to.
It's in like an old Fallout shelter.
Is it like reverent or is it irreverent?
Um, it's dope.
Do they have like a drink called the Oh My God They Shot Him?
They do have like, I think, themed drinks.
I haven't been there.
It's like, it's kind of like, you know, it's got old JFK memorabilia.
It's like Fallout-y kind of themed.
It's like vintage.
It's like a vintage old weird bar.
Because we have, like, in Tucson, like, a missile.
You know, like an old missile that was decommissioned.
Oh, like the actual missile.
That was decommissioned from the Civil War era, and you can, like, go tour it.
A Civil War era missile?
What is that?
No, not a missile.
What do you call it?
Like a, like a, like a, like a bomb, a bomb, you know, like a Hiroshima bomb type of thing.
Yeah, maybe it's just called bobs.
I'm very confused.
This is not historically accurate.
It's just there's like a lot a lot of bomb culture in Tucson because there was like old like launch sites down there.
I mean there still is like a lot of like drone kind of shit going on down there but anyway so like yeah there's this like Cold War era I didn't mean Civil War I meant Cold War Cold War era like aesthetic down there and I didn't expect to talk about this, but yeah, so there's like this Cold War era aesthetic.
It's like a bomb shelter bar.
There's JFK shit everywhere.
I don't think there's any references to the head blowing off, but I've never been there.
I don't really know Tucson that well.
I didn't mean Civil War.
I didn't even realize I said that.
It was just great because it kept evolving in my head.
You were saying that there was a missile, so I pictured it in a silo.
I'm sorry.
None of that was historically accurate.
And then you said it was Civil War missile and me and my grids were just like, Civil War missile?
What the fuck does this look like?
Scratch everything I just said and just know that there's a bar.
No, I get it.
By the end... No historical accuracy whatsoever in any of that.
It does sound rad.
I do like the idea of, like, getting drinks in, like, a bomb shelter with, like, a Cold War decor.
That does sound pretty sweet.
Yes.
Not Civil War.
That would be awful.
I picture a lot of, like, fucking, like, dry ice, like, smoking, like... I think there is.
I think that's kind of a thing.
Yeah, that's part of the vibe.
I've been to one of those space-themed restaurants in New York City one time when I was a child.
I know what I'm going to get to.
I like kitschy shit like that.
Down?
Yeah, I like kitsch.
That's sweet.
I'm trying to go to a Ren Faire here in a couple of weeks, I think.
Or maybe six weeks?
I don't know.
But at some point, there's a Ren Faire I want to go to.
Child-free, adult Ren Faire trip.
It's going to be great.
Beautiful.
Anyway, my grids, what are you looking forward to?
Football!
It's back!
The sport of things that I enjoy!
Handegg.
And the greatest handegg ever.
They are going to run the handegg.
They're going to toss the handegg.
It's going to be so great.
All the egging and handing.
The turn-based sport of kings.
Yes.
And so the hand egg has returned.
Tomorrow night is the first game of the season.
It is delightful because I, a genius, decided to avoid drafting the oft-injured Christian McCaffrey for my Fantasy League.
And I was like, you know who I'm going to take?
The indestructible Travis Kelsey.
The man's never missed a game due to injury in his life.
And then yesterday afternoon while I was working, everyone's like, did you hear Travis Kelsey injured his knee?
And I was like, yeah, great.
And after the fifth person told me that, I just started punching people in the head aggressively.
And I was like, wonderful.
The one and only time I played fantasy football, it was the same thing, only it was this season where the indestructible Marshawn Lynch got that abdominal injury that exploded his organs forever.
And that was it.
That was the end of him.
I was just like, oh, sweet.
First pick of the league.
I'll take the surefire slam dunk.
Marshawn Lynch, thank you very much.
It was just like, doesn't miss games.
Incredible performer.
Huge points.
And then it was just like, and Marshawn Lynch suffers an injury to his guts.
Oh, his guts are all exploded.
He'll never play football again.
Just like, oh, sweet.
Thank God.
Thank you, concise play call guy.
El, the kiss of death.
Yes.
Yeah, so I'm just looking forward to all that.
And also, in our group chat, someone mentioned that there's a new season of Taskmaster coming out this month.
So yes, Taskmaster, the greatest television show ever.
Are you even caught up on Taskmaster, New Zealand, and Hayley?
I don't know what the fuck that is.
I'm going to pretend like you didn't ask me that.
I don't know what that word is.
What is this word I'm hearing?
Repeat.
It's a great show.
Taskmaster.
Taskmaster?
Yes.
It's a great show that we will explain the premise of off-air because if we start talking about it on the show we'll be here for 90 more minutes.
100 more minutes.
Oh, we would.
We would.
At one point, when QAnon and the right of America loses their steam, this will convert into a full Taskmaster pod, and we will be the happiest pigs in shit.
Okay, well, everybody got at least one in.
Me and Mike stole a couple of sneaky extra ones in there, so on that note, it's time for me to hit the eject button.
And fire us all on a civil war rocket to the moon and out of hell world for the week.

Good work, DJ Minimal Effort, for being better than the rest of us.
You can find our buddy Frosty, who does all of our voiceover stuff and all of our bumps, and the voice of Q when we need it, although not so much anymore.
You can find them on Twitter, at FrostyVO.
Did I say Twinter?
Or, Twitter.
I meant X, but not really.
It's still Twitter to me.
Speaking of me, you can find me, the Mysterious Elle, now on BlueSky.
So if you're one of the 300 people who use BlueSky, find me on it as well, at MysteriousElle.
I'm also on BlueSky.
I like BlueSky.
Haley is also on BlueSky.
What's your tag there, Haley?
You jumped in, let us know.
Yeah, but no more wing, it's important to note.
Yeah, don't want to get sued.
Just AZ right watch, you know?
No wings involved, unless they're the Buffalo style.
And of course, you can find Mike Rains on Twitter, slash X, at PokerPolitics, and the show, this very show that you're listening to, at Hellworld, with a Q instead of an O, because we're clever that way.
Get it?
Alright, so thank you everybody.
That's going to do it for us.
Another successful episode of the Adventures in Hellworld podcast.
I've been one of your hosts, the Mysterious Elf.
Joined as always by Haley, aka Arizona Right Watch.
And our expert in all things QAnon crazy, Mr. Mike Rains.
