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.
Thank you for watching.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Thank you for watching.
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 Watch.
Hello, everybody.
Hello, all you beautiful babies, or whatever we say.
Hi.
Hi.
And the mysterious Elle.
Bazinga, my beautiful babies.
It's me, Old Sheldon.
That should be the... Old Sheldon?
Yeah, dude.
You've seen young Sheldon.
You've seen regular, medium Sheldon.
We all know how much you love Sheldon.
So now get ready for... You don't need to put up a strong face in front of us.
And now get ready for Old Sheldon.
It's me.
Old Sheldon.
What's his quirk?
Uh, he got rid of all of his stupid quirks.
He's just kind of like a regular guy.
But he got to it so late that, like, he's sort of, like, anxious that he squandered a bunch of time being a ding-dong.
And, uh, so he's got, like, pathos now.
But he's still got this weird quirk where supermodels want to sleep with him, like, all the time.
They'll just be walking down the street, they'll just be like, You're like a fuckin' on-the-spectrum nerd who loves talking about Star Trek and science, and I am like a Victoria's Secret swimsuit model, so like, let's hook up there, Sheldon!
It's like, wow, what a charmed life I lead.
That's great.
Bazinga!
Yeah, bazinga.
I saw there was a YouTube video that went really in-depth about all the different layers of misogyny all the Big Bang male characters presented and how they were just all monsters.
Is it true that he gets a model all the time?
I mean, like, every woman in that show is just, like, TV attractive.
It's the same principle as, like, King of Queens, where Leah Rabbidi was shackled to pre-famed Kevin James.
And it was just like, this is apocerous, and it's that, only it's like a whole squad of ding-dongs, and they all suck in their own way, and they're all pulling down some, like, gorgeous TV-attractive woman.
Who, for some reason, is willing to overlook just, like, a fucking whole, like, soccer pitch of red flags.
It's just, like, red flags as far as I can see.
They're nerds, right?
Are they creeps, also?
Or are they just nerds?
They're what a writer's room for CBS thinks a nerd is.
Oh, okay.
So they're touchy.
Yeah.
People who are kind of willing to throw it around would like to call it nerdface.
I think that sort of cheapens what blackface really is, but it does sort of describe what they're going for in a way that I don't think is inaccurate.
Basically, Big Bang Theory is supposed to be like a nerd safari where the writers don't really know what a nerd is, but they think they know, and they want you to see this weird personification of a nerd.
So it's just, it's really...
There was this one clip that's like the ultimate example of what the Big Bang Theory is and how it's like not even funny, where these- It was any clip.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This clip that I'm about to describe to you- It was the entire series in one.
It's gonna really highlight how the show selects.
It's all clips.
Yeah, but they're about to play- someone's about to play ping pong and they're like, We are now going to decide the fate of Doctor Who's TARDIS in a Game of Thrones-inspired death battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons and Mordor.
And it's just, it's just a guy saying like 98 references.
That's literally all he's doing.
And then the laugh track hits.
And the person... Oh, it's a laugh track show?
I'm not, no.
It's unacceptable.
It's a, it's a multicam, it's still like a multicam made for a TBS show or whatever network it's on.
Like, of course they've got the laugh track.
They love the laugh track.
How else is the audience supposed to know what stuff is supposed to be funny?
When is it funny?
Why else would you laugh at Bazinga?
Right?
And, like, right after the guy says all the... those dumb references, the laugh track hits, and then the person watching it pauses it and goes, Why the fuck are you laughing?
What was the joke?
All he did was say things!
And he was just, like, this person getting so angry.
It's like, it's true.
Because there is no joke.
It's literally just, I'm gonna name seven things nerds like, and then you're gonna laugh because nerds like those things.
References the show.
Right!
Oh yeah, and then like, Will Wheaton or Mark Hamill will make a cameo.
And then like, ah, it's the guy from The Thing!
You know, the stuff that you like.
You get it, nerds.
Watch it.
Bazinga.
Yes!
Bazinga, you fucks.
Right on.
What part of fucking Bazinga didn't you understand?
We'll go give Jonathan Frakes 20 bags to come on the show right fucking now and entertain you, stupid nerd.
Remember him?
He was Riker.
He was also in that Gargoyles cartoon that all of you claimed to love but nobody watched.
Bazinga!
Bazinga.
Oh man.
And I just remember they did an episode where they had a reference to the Settlers of Catan and it was just so painful.
The way they tried to explain it, because they were just like, now, if you're not a nerd, you won't understand this game.
And the whole joke was literally the first joke you tell when you play Settlers of Cvetan, which is, I have wood for your sheep, which is, ha ha, total rib tickler, because it sounds- It's a reference.
It's a reference.
And it also makes it sound like I have an erection for your farm animal, because I like to have sex with it.
Yes.
Because I'm Scottish.
Yes.
Yeah, just a random drive-by.
Like, our Scottish listeners thought they were safe.
Then we lulled them into a false sense of security.
Our Scottish listeners were like, what the fuck?
I thought you guys were supposed to hate all 50 states.
We're like, nope.
We'll attack anyone.
We're without remorse.
Yeah, you don't know what's about to happen over here.
My God.
You know, but on the flip side of the Big Bang Theory, like, you know, fucking just horrible nerd culture nonsense, I will say that I am excited by the rise of all these rappers, like TikTok and SoundCloud, rappers that are like starting to break big now, that have just grown up with anime their whole lives.
So they reference that shit a lot.
I mean, wow.
I'm hearing a lot of rap songs.
I'm just like, you know what, good for you!
Because they're not, like, trying to appropriate anything or, like, put something on display to make, to, like, you know, the same way the Big Bang Theory is.
They grew up loving this shit, so now they want to rap about it.
It's dope.
I love it.
Right.
There's the difference between appreciating something or knowing something is part of a subculture and then just referencing it because, oh, we have to check that box to show that we know the subculture.
Yeah, like fucking Joey Valance and Bray are out there.
They sound like the Beastie Boys and their songs are like almost top to bottom references to just nerd shit they grew up loving.
So, you know, good for them.
Well done, those guys.
I salute you.
I did just want to be on a rant about hating something with the first 10 minutes of the show.
That seems to be a theme of the first 10 minutes.
What do we hate?
Nah, I wouldn't do that.
Let's talk about stuff that we hate.
Sometimes we can talk about stuff that we love.
Sometimes.
I've been having a bad couple of weeks, you dig?
Sometimes I'm just a real little bitch, you know?
I'm just a little bitch on the timeline.
Hooverin' pizzas.
And I don't think the audience was listening to me just be like, you know what?
I'm having a sad day.
I'll go down to the old pizza shop and I'll be like, let me get a pizza, please.
And I'll bring it home.
And then over the course of the next few meals, I'll just eat a whole pizza to myself.
I feel that.
It's great.
I think that my roommates still think that I'm eating them in one sitting, and I'm just like, guys, I'm fat, but I haven't been, like, young in a while, so, like, I don't... I don't fuck with that shit anymore.
Bring up a whole large pizza, just house it in one sitting?
Absolutely not.
No way.
I dare you.
I mean, I could do it under, like, duress isn't the right word, because I know a lot of people for whom it's not duress, but like a pleasure fetish component.
But under the right circumstances, I could probably do it.
But what I'm left to my own devices, it's not my bag.
I'm going to do the weeds there for a second.
Y'all don't need to see that much of it.
Like, let me just draw that curtain back a little bit.
That's a part of Old Fat Al's life you don't need to see.
Beyond that curtain is the Cheesecake Factory, which sometimes I reference for a bit.
Oh, man.
Anyway, now that we're all wound up, do we want to move on to our amuse-bouche?
That sounds good to me.
Let's do it.
Watch that and a booze boosh!
What's that in amuse-bouche?
I don't know.
A little earnest there.
Alright, so, boosh topic number one, Trump's civil case.
This is getting some headlines, but I need to really look into it.
So, it can't be that hot of a shit if it's in our boosh and not our headlines.
So, Mike, what's up with Trump's civil case?
Take it away, Mike.
Okay.
Yeah.
So Trump and the Trump Corporation has been already found guilty by default.
They basically pulled an Alex Jones where they refused to work with the legal system to the point where their fuck around levels led to the judge hitting them with the ultimate find out and said, you are now just guilty.
And the trial we're going to have is only for the amount of penalties you're going to pay.
And right now they're on the hook for a quarter of a billion dollars and also not
being allowed to conduct business in New York probably for forever.
So that's not great for team Trump.
And so this week, so this week, the Trump family has all been called to testify.
So Eric and Don Jr.
had to come in and say their little piece about what sort of fraud they were doing.
And then yesterday, Orange Daddy showed up and he himself got to go on the stand.
And the most magical moment of his time on the stand was when he was asked by the prosecutors about what he was doing, like falsifying his financial data in 2021.
He said something to the effect of, well, I wasn't really paying attention to all that financial stuff about the Trump Corp because my business was keeping America safe from Russia and China.
I was in the business of making America great again?
Yes, exactly.
With my tremendous effective wall?
Yup.
And the prosecutor then said to him, you were not president in 2021, were you?
And then Trump was like, oh, you're right.
No, I wasn't.
Oh, yeah.
Given the opportunity to say under earth whether or not he believes he was still president in 2021, he settled on, uh, you know what?
Actually, no, I don't think I was still president.
Fact.
So weird.
That's funny the whole family has to talk.
It's going to be a fun Thanksgiving, you know?
Oh, yeah.
Like, oh, the Lincoln Project is running all kinds of ads about Ivanka's upcoming testimony.
Now she's going to betray Donald because they're just totally all in on that whole Donald's obsessed with banging his daughter thing.
And anything they can do to make it seem like daughter doesn't like daddy anymore is just their only goal is to air those ads on Fox News and make Trump sad mad.
So, but yeah, Ivanka's testimony is today, so we're getting that in dribs and drabs.
There hasn't been any real bombshells from her.
The main thing that came out from yesterday was that Trump was doing a lot of grandstanding on the stand and ranting and raving.
And shitbag right-wingers and QAnon promoters took a quote from the judge, which said, we are not here to listen to what Donald Trump has to say.
And they're using that as, look, rigged bullshit.
This is a fucking setup.
Judge said it himself.
Doesn't care what Trump has to say.
Convicting him anyway is going to hit him with a maximum penalty, absolute fucking bullshit, deep state legal system, George Soros funded, blah, blah, blah.
And they're leaving out the next line of the quote, which was the judge saying, we're not here to listen to what Donald Trump has to say.
We're here to listen to Trump answer questions.
They were, the judge was making it clear.
We're not here for your grandstanding bullshit.
We're here for you to be asked questions by lawyers and for you to give answers to those questions.
That's all this is about.
And so all these people are just leaving out that last part so they can pretend to be all upset that the judge is totally in the bag against Trump and is trying to screw him over.
We don't need corrupt judges for like windmill slam dunks against Donald Trump.
He's like, he's a criminal mastermind.
He's not.
No.
No, and again, this is just his big civil case.
The big boy crime case is upcoming, and that's going to be real fun.
I just remembered that they said recently, the press has issued a statement about how they really want that federal trial to be televised, and Trump had previously said that he was okay with that, and that he wanted everyone to see what the deep state was doing and bargle, bargle.
Basically, the prosecutors, in response to the media wanting it televised, were like, hey, it's up to Trump.
And then Trump's team was like, no comment.
We actually aren't going to talk about if we want this televised or not.
So yeah, just, just work with it.
So, uh, Mr. Yeah.
God, I want it televised.
It's endless content.
It's the most, it would be, it would be bigger than the OJ trial.
I mean, cause.
Lord knows when the Georgia RICO case is going to happen.
Because that was the big thing.
The Georgia case was going to be televised.
100%.
That was guaranteed.
And then the Kraken took a plea deal.
The Cheese Bros took a plea deal.
So all our fun trials that were supposed to be happening in Georgia just didn't happen.
Because everyone was just like, nope, I did it.
I'll cut a deal.
I'm out of here.
Fuck this shit.
And they haven't scheduled Trump's actual trial yet for Georgia.
If we're not going to get the Georgia trial anytime soon, yes, I want the January 6th D.C.
trial televised.
That would be incredible.
Also, for the record, it would absolutely, like, a thousand percent not be bigger than the O.J.
trial.
You would imagine that it would be, because the stakes are much higher.
But, I mean, people don't care to watch a trial.
It's pretty funny.
What if it's funny?
People will watch the funny clips on TikTok.
They're not sitting down to watch the... It's not 1992 anymore.
No one's gathered around the old boob tube to watch a trial on TV.
I was old enough to remember doing that with my family.
I'm not hating on anybody who did that.
That was what O.J.' 's trial was.
These days it'll just be like, Oh, Trump.
No.
We've gotten so much Trump that just more Trump won't impact us that much.
Whereas the whole OJ thing was very fresh and exciting because OJ was a football player.
Now he's kind of an actor.
Now he's a murderer.
Like that was a kind of an.
Yeah, also, like, now he's in a slow-speed pursuit that's, like, going exactly fast enough for him to technically be, like, still fleeing, but slow enough where we are getting really good footage of it.
And also, like, there's just, like, antics in the courtroom, and there was no internet.
That's the most important part.
There was no internet, there was no cell phones.
Like, there was less stuff to pull your attention away from this crazy thing that was unfolding.
Oh, man.
Like, but again, the stakes are so much higher now.
You would imagine it would be like the Soylent Green guy running around just being like, why aren't any of you watching this?
Like, he's running for president again!
He's on trial on TV!
And people are just like, I don't give a fuck about that, dude.
I'm watching this cooking video.
I'm learning how to make panko-crusted fried eggs.
So, like, I mean, unless Donald Trump can beat panko fried eggs, then fuck off.
I don't see how he could.
Those sound delicious.
They do sound—and they look really easy to make.
I'm sure I will fuck them up if I ever attempt to make them, but they do seem very easy for anyone who's not a complete moron in the kitchen.
I'm more of an eating the food guy.
I leave the making of food to other people.
It takes so long to cook and then it takes so little time to eat, you know?
It's like, is this worth it?
I don't know.
I think that for some people it also takes a while to eat, but I'm not one of those people.
That's true, but I'm not one of those people.
Mike is not one of those people either.
No, my jaw unhinges like predator mandibles.
Did I dive in?
That's my strategy for a lot of things, actually.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm also a... I'm a fast eater to the point where Elle is even offended by how fast I eat.
So yes, I... Yeah, I mean, yeah, you really, you really hoover it down.
Sharing a meal with you is like eating in front of Mike.
Because Mike has already done eating.
You sat down, the food has arrived, Mike is done.
And now you get to eat, no matter how quick you think you are, you get to eat it in front of Mike while he watches.
I don't know why I eat so fast, but...
It is something I have noticed that people have pointed out to me and I'm like, yeah, you're hungry, it's fine.
You do eat like somebody is going to come take it from you, which is wild.
Like you serve time?
Because of the two of us, when we're setting down for a meal, like based on our background, if either one of us should be afraid that your meal is going to spontaneously disappear, I think it's me.
Yeah, but I do eat fast and that is something that is just a part of me.
And what Elle was saying before, I had this moment where I learned the magic of baking and how it's generally baking food is better than microwaving it.
And it's like, man, Baking is time intensive.
You gotta preheat the oven, the oven has to get to that temperature, then you gotta put the food in, then you gotta wait a half hour, then you get to enjoy your three minutes of eating it, and it's like, man, I really should slow down and savor.
I need to savor more, because the amount of people are just like, yeah, throw those things in, 10-15 minutes in the air fryer, it'll be great.
I'm just like, 10 or 15 minutes?
What?
That's what makes it, like, if I place an order for delivery right now, 10 or 15 minutes is when I start to be expecting an opportunity for piping hot food to be delivered into my waiting hands.
You're not having to do anything, you know what I mean?
Yes.
Especially when people are like those frozen lasagnas, where they're just like, yeah, you just cook it yourself in the oven, it takes like two hours or whatever.
I'm just like, what?
When I'm hungry, I'm hungry now!
My body doesn't send me a hunger signal to just be like, dude, two hours from now, you're really going to want some lasagna, so you should get on that.
God bless you.
Talk about your drama.
Yeah, let's move on to the steward dramas.
Okay, so my eating wasn't scintillating enough, so now it's time to talk about my dumb drama, which was hilarious to me.
So I had a post and I then saw in the replies to my post, a little message that said, you can't see this reply because the person who runs it won't let you.
And then the person below that blocked reply said, dude, what the hell?
And that piqued my curiosity.
So I hopped on my burner account and looked at the, my timeline and lo and behold, The message that I could not see was from our, from friend of the podcast, Jim Stewartson.
Everyone's favorite guy.
Everyone's favorite guy.
The greatest of all guys in this world, Jim Stewartson.
And our boy decided to just, I don't know, take a shot at me for God knows what reason.
And he said, poker and politics is a troll named Mike Raines, who has been part of the controlled opposition to QAnon since 2019.
True.
Yes.
Yeah, where's the lie?
Where's the lie?
Yeah, what did he say wrong?
What did he get wrong?
Well, first of all, my Twitter account says that I joined in August of 2018.
I was part of the disinformation campaign about QAnon since 2018, motherfucker.
Are you kidding?
Or that all you talked about was fucking Shirley Manson.
Yeah.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Uh, well, I did, I did mention that in my post later, that I was like, hey, like the first thing I talked about
on this, on my platform was, was QAnon.
And if no one cared about that, I was mostly going to talk about poker as well.
That's literally why I named myself Poker in Politics.
It's why my avatar is poker cards that are an Illuminati message that you need to decode.
But it's not really tricky.
It's very easy to figure out what I'm going for.
What do I think the likelihood is that Jace do listens to the show?
Uh, I have, I would believe, almost none, but if he is hate listening, God bless you, please continue to do so.
What about his sycophants?
Hey, if you or anybody you know, uh, happens to be J-Stew, then pass along this message, he can gargle up my full peen and balls.
Fuck that guy, he seems like just completely the worst.
I'm tired of candy coating.
I think people...
Might be confused because some people think he's like, you know, a researcher, but he's just, he's not.
He's not.
He's a guy that's got a lot of conspiracies and you know he you might vaguely think that he's on like quote-unquote your side cuz like he's shit talks you know Michael Flynn and stuff but he's he's just throwing shit at the wall and he attacks like legitimate researchers like Mike so he is not to be he is he's not to be trifled with we don't fuck with him Yeah, he's just like a full-on QAnon-style grifter who just happened to see that there was a niche to be a fucking Blue Anon, like, champion out there, just being like, I know what'll fight their stupid conspiracy theory!
Boom!
My stupid conspiracy theory!
Come for Mike, you come for all of us.
Yeah, please pay for my sub stack.
And it's just like, you know what?
I don't think I will pay for your sub stack, you fucking Muppet, because you don't have anything to say.
Everything you do say is wrong.
Digital warriors, you know, get to attack him.
You know, we got to defend Mike.
Just kidding.
Leave Stu alone.
Don't poke the bear.
He's actually really fucking annoying.
The official policy of the show is do not attack anybody, but feel free to just think that he's a piece of shit like the rest of us do.
That's cool.
You're certainly allowed to do that.
But you are both morally correct and legally in the right to have the opinion that Jace Du is a piece of shit.
You can think that all you want.
The police can't stop you from thinking that Jace Du is a piece of shit.
Just walk him.
Don't look at his opinions because they're not relevant.
If you control opposition, he's nuts.
I see sometimes like local reporters quoting him because they think he is like a QAnon researcher and I'm just like, can you not do that?
Can you not?
Can you not do that?
Because he paid for his blue check mark and he posts a ton, and he goes after right-wing shitbags, so people think that he's on the level and what he's doing is a good thing and a right thing.
But it's not, because he has no actual evidence for the shit that he's talking about.
And when you try to talk to this man about these things, he will not listen to you.
It is an impossibility.
Because in his broken brain, you cannot have a good faith argument that Michael Flynn did not start QAnon.
You can't do it.
You can't actually do that.
Uh, yeah, because he's just like, his position is just like, well, if you're not willing to entertain that Mike Flynn was definitely QAnon, then I don't even want to talk to you.
And it's just like, okay, well, he wasn't.
So, I guess my punishment is I don't have to talk to Jace, too?
Bummer.
It's rough.
What sort of life is that going to be?
I don't know.
I wouldn't trust anything a guy ever has to say.
And the fact that he's taking shots at Mike is pretty funny.
He takes shots at a lot of people.
He takes legitimate researchers.
I guess that's part of the grift though.
It's like you gotta take out the people that are gonna expose your grift.
The thing is, is that, like, we make a lot of jokes on the podcast, me and Mike, about selling out and just being like, as soon as the money's right, we'll sell out right away.
We'll be mad sellouts.
But, you know, we have our funny little jokes about how we have to be comfortable afterwards or whatever.
I mean, Jason is what happens if you sort of, like, sell out for nothing.
Like, you know?
He, like, he just sort of is the bad guy and asks for your money to read his bad opinions because he's a bad guy who's got, like, the good guy mask on.
I don't know.
I don't understand how anybody supports him.
It just sort of seems like a cult, like, of personality around somebody who doesn't have enough riz to deserve a cult, but...
Again, I can't stop you.
So, God love you if you're listening to the podcast and you love a Jace too.
Like, that is your right and our opinion is your right.
Yeah, I don't care.
Like whatever lies you like.
Everybody likes a little bit of lies sometimes, you know?
And just keep that shit to Twitter, you know?
Just stay on Twitter.
This is very Twitter drama.
This is very hyper Twitter.
Nobody knows who Jace2 is outside of Twitter.
I know, and it's great.
The thing is that we just need to keep Twitter the way it is, where it's just sort of like this echo chamber for the people who like to fight each other on Twitter, like your Jay Stews and your Mike Reamses.
And, you know, and then let the rest of us go out to greener pastures, like Blue Sky, where nobody posts anything.
So people, right? It's like, oh my God, no one's posting.
I saw somebody the other day just be like, wow, it's really popping off on Blue Sky.
And I was just like, what the fuck?
What are you on?
You know, I'm going to like my Discover feed, like it'll still be giving me shit
that it was just like, discover this thing from three days ago.
What? Three days?
Maybe they follow everybody on Blue Sky.
Maybe.
I mean, I want Blue Sky to be great, but I mean, I'm afraid I'm not going to start seeing any posts.
I literally don't know where people are going anymore.
I don't know what to do.
I'm so over everything, you know?
I should just start giving my phone number out to people.
Hey, do you want to like... Do you guys remember hanging out?
Do you want to share memes and stuff?
Here's my phone number, you know?
Just send me your meme.
Yeah, we're just gonna reopen IRC and just make IRC chat rooms.
It has to be IRC for people but you also have to be able to post your smutty fan art and like big mommy milkers and like Like, that's the thing.
All anybody wants is a social media site where everybody is, like, cool and chill and nice and friendly but also just, like, incredibly horny or receptive to being around people who are incredibly horny all the time.
And we're just like, let's just be super chill and nice and friendly and also, like, boom!
Here's, like, my erect cock.
It's on the feed.
The post is super wholesome.
It's just like, I think I might make a pie today.
But it's like, dude, I could see pre-cum.
Like, that's fucked up.
This is kind of the energy of Blue Sky, but not like, it's not popular.
You know, it's not popular enough.
But I do see a lot of like, hey, what's up?
Here's my political opinions.
And also here's my ass.
Yeah.
Dude, I would kill for that.
I don't know why Blue Sky thinks I'm gay.
It's all penis all the way down.
It's so funny.
And I know that the thing is, it's the hoardiest social media platform ever.
It's just like Tumblr, but also Twitter.
Anyway.
The point is, keep all the horrible conservative, like, infighting and dumb political bullshit to Twitter, where it could just be a cesspool that Elon Musk runs into the ground, and let everybody let their freak flags fly on cooler, better social media platforms, even if there's nobody using them yet.
Start using them, and then...
We will be triumphant, I guess.
I don't know.
Add us on Blue Sky.
Yeah.
I'm also active on Instagram sometimes for people who care where we're at.
Hey, hey, hey.
The word also implies that you're active on Blue Sky, which you are not.
I mean, I'm looking at it.
It's hard to, I reply to people sometimes, you know, it's just like, it's hard, man.
It's hard to be social right now.
None of us are active on Blue Sky, you know?
It's the Blue Sky way.
But now it's time for everybody's favorite part of the boosh.
Our recurring segment where Hayley gives us a skinny on Arizona Madness.
It's time for the Arizona Madness Roundup with our most recent, coolest co-host!
Hayley, a.k.a.
Arizona Right Watch.
Hayley, what is going on in Az today?
Az?
That's a good way of putting it.
Yeah, you guys truly are Az.
You've always been Az.
I mean, I've never been, but that also sounds true.
There's, like, an airport that their, like, call sign is SUX, so they're, like, Fly Sucks, and, like, all this stuff.
They really lean into the suck thing.
It's awesome.
Can you Fly Sucks to Azz?
I hope so.
Can you tell people that your flight really sucks to Azz?
So, you know that movie that Dinesh D'Souza just came out with?
Police State, yes.
Police State.
Have you watched it yet?
I have not watched it.
No, me neither.
We should totally watch it.
Is it time to finally summon the bonus content signal and do a Dinesh D'Souza joint?
Yeah, it's possible.
Yes, it's possible.
This is kind of a relatively conversation, but that's why, like, multiple people with the Arizona Republican Party were in Florida this weekend.
They went to the premiere of Police State.
Wendy Rogers, state senator, she's the really, really obviously racist white supremacist one who I'm gonna need you to be a little more specific.
Who loves Nick Fuentes.
She's the one that literally said, Nick Fuentes said, I'm based, or like, I'm based because Nick Fuentes said I'm based.
Like, basically, it's like a crowning kind of thing.
Because he's the king, you know, he invented the word, which is, he did not.
The one who loves licking boots.
Yeah, she's, which is wild, because she's like an older woman.
And it's like, ew, calm down.
But also, you know.
No, is that just me?
I mean, ew, gross!
I'll send you a picture of Wendy.
Yeah, keep that older tongue in your mouth.
Um, but yeah, and then, uh, State Senator Justine Wodczak.
She's new.
Uh, Wodczak, everybody.
Her name is Justine Wodczak.
She sucks.
She's new.
She just got the AZ Republican Party just gave her like freshman legislator of the year.
And all her fucking laws are like, let's ban homeless people.
Let's ban books.
Let's ban drag shows.
Let's ban people in drag from existing and being allowed in public.
She sucks.
They, at the Police State Premiere, were sitting with Lauren Witski.
You know Lauren Witski, Mike?
Nope. Don't post it about her. She, she's, she's like a, she's the blonde lady that used to be on a true news.
She used to kind of do some Q and on stuff.
That's what everybody knows her for, for being like a flat earther and like posting some Q and
on stuff back in the day, she ran for Senate,
state Senate in Delaware back in 2020. Yeah. Well, anyway, um, she has this show with this guy, um,
Edward Saul, who they are both like, incredibly antisemitic and racist and
like, like, incredibly, they have this clip.
So they must just be wallowing around like pigs in mud right now. Huh?
Oh my god.
They just they had a clip on 9-11 where they did a sketch where they literally like played out a scene where Witski is like a CI agent and she's like looking at like the towers as they're falling and she looks down and there's like five very stereotypical Jewish men dancing and she's like crap now everybody's gonna know the Jews did 9-11.
And that's how the episode opens.
Yeah.
And like, yeah, she's like, always at the Fuentes events, the Nick Fuentes events.
She's like... To be fair, the context matters a lot in that sketch, because I feel like if Eric Andre did that, everyone would just be like, genius, satire, so funny.
The context is that she fucking really hates Jews.
Yeah.
But I was saying, for the listener, like, that joke could play under a different context to a certain audience, but there was no irony in this one.
It was just like, literally just like... It's just like... The Jews unironically did 9-11.
I think that they did it.
They are the ones responsible for 9-11, the attacks on 9-11.
It was the Jewish people that did that.
It was them.
It's the Mossad theory.
Mike, you must know that one.
I'm well aware of the Mossad theory.
Yeah, she's pretty big into the Mossad did 9-11 kind of shit.
She had another recent sketch that was just like, before an episode, it was like...
Literally just the red pill, blue pill scene.
Like, oh, take the pill and you'll see who really runs America.
And she takes it and she ends up in Israel and she's like, who stole my wallet?
And then it's like, that's the cold open, you know, like, yeah.
What a knee slapper!
Oh, the Jews are behind everything, and they'll also take your money.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
And then, like, she was recently, like, oh, last year, she literally, like, did this camping retreat event with, like, a bunch of white nationalist teenagers that are, like, kind of part of the Fuentes scene.
Like, literal teenagers.
She's, like, a 35-year-old woman.
And was like just preaching her like, you know, Jewish billionaires run the world.
You got to have white babies because they don't want you to have white babies.
They want to take everything from you.
They're responsible for abortion and pornography.
She's like clearly just a fucking white supremacist, like she's a fucking Nazi.
But anyway, that doesn't matter because Wendy Rogers and Wodzak went on her show this week.
They didn't really talk about much interesting, they just talked about like, elections are fake.
And they did do like some, Wodzak was like talking about the Great Replacement, you know, like, they're replacing us, all the brown people are coming in to replace us and kick you out of your home.
Yeah, they're coming to replace us, the monolithic white race that apparently we all believe in.
Yeah, Justine, you know, WADSEC, a native of Arizona.
Yeah, I just love that stuff.
There's something that blows my mind more than people who are not fresh off the Mayflower types being like, you know what I'm into?
White supremacy.
And it's like, buddy, if you won this thing, you'd find out real quick that you aren't part of the winning team.
That's just how this works.
Nick Fuentes makes me laugh so much about that.
It's like, you're a white supremacist named Nick Fuentes.
How do you think this plays out when your side wins and you guys have all the power?
You think they're gonna look at you and go, hey, fellow white man!
Salute!
They're gonna be like, wait a minute, your last name is Fuentes.
You, get in the helicopter also.
And you'll be like, no!
No!
But I helped you out so much!
And they'll be like, nah, not really.
Get your gay cat boy lovin' ass in that.
We don't do this here.
Right.
In a fascist state.
Yep.
But anyway, I mentioned all this mainly because like WADSAC was simultaneously this week,
like big time working to get this Muslim banquet canceled here in Arizona because she was like,
that sounds fucking delicious.
That's what she was like.
We love the Jews and we're supporting Israel.
Let's get this fucking Hamas event canceled kind of shit.
So it's like just kind of this, you know, things are pretty hostile right now.
A lot of people are taking advantage of narratives right now.
Yeah.
And yeah, I think this is a pretty good fucking example where it's like someone who's a hateful white supremacist just like, uh, like taking advantage of a narrative to be like, let's get this, uh, uh, you know, Muslim civil rights group event canceled because, uh, we love Jews asterisk.
No, we don't.
I'm gonna go on this white supremacist show this week, who literally fucking hates Jews.
Like, literally is a pretty big Jew hater.
Also, did they have the support of any Jews?
Or were they just like, hey, you, Jew on the street, you fucking hate this, they're doing a Muslim cookout, doesn't that chap your ass?
And they're just like, why should I care about that?
What do I care about their cookout?
We will not get into this.
This event has been a big deal here.
You know what?
In fact, let's all have a big cookout.
All I want to do is grill.
leave you alone. Yeah. But anyway, and also it's like, this is on the Stude Peters network,
this show, the the crosstalk.
Oh, you're shaking your head?
I know well of Stude Peters.
He is also a big I hate Jewish people guy.
He hates everybody.
He isn't calling for the execution of Catholic workers because they like do immigration work.
He calls for the execution of journalists.
So it's like, yeah, this is the show and the program that these people are going on while also being like rah rah.
We love Jewish people cynically to get a Muslim event canceled because we're actually fucking Nazis.
So that's kind of like what's been happening here in Arizona this week.
The end.
Well done.
Thank you.
So, listeners, the reason we go over this every week is so that you know where to send your hate mail to.
If you hate what's going on in Arizona, reach out to Haley at Arizona Right Watch on Blue Sky.
You'll be like, boo, it's your fault!
Haley, why?
Why?
We love Muslim cookout!
It's the center of American-Islamic relations.
They have a yearly banquet.
Yeah, I'm not being, it's not, I don't even, it's not a big, it's just like, uh, I'm not being ironic in any way.
Like, yeah, I'm sure it's actually sick.
I've never been, invite me if you are a listener who's going.
Yeah, I mean, I love cultural festivals and shit like that.
The area I'm around has a few Greek festivals.
Oh my god, that was just a throck.
I'm not Greek, but those people are mad friendly.
They're just like, dude, come eat our delicious food!
I hear all these priests that are pretty cool.
Honey pastries, lots of honey pastries.
I'm always a big fan.
Oh yeah, dude.
I like the loconico, which is like the sausage, the Greek sausages they make with the orange rind, so it's zesty.
Anyway.
Why does this show make you be hungry?
Nobody gets offended by my segment.
Solidarity with all people.
I think I made it clear that neither of these people have solidarity with Muslims or Jewish people.
They're just awful white supremacists who will use an awful situation happening in this world to Get their own agenda through, you know?
I mean, now's a great time to bring it up.
Whose side are you on, Haley?
I mean, let's... I'm on the side of Mike in the stew.
Mike.
That was the classic Sarge, like, impossible to play back throw.
Just like, hey, here you go.
Here you go, L. Just going to tee up something that you just can't possibly engage with.
Yeah, that's it.
Perfect.
That's the main thing that I think people really need to understand about this conflict in regards to American politics.
The actual conflict itself is hell.
And if you want to argue either side, I'll listen to you.
I'll be more than happy to talk about it.
That's fine.
Oh, it's the worst.
It's the absolute worst.
Elle is not willing to talk to you about all this stuff because it sucks.
As far as Americans talking about it, though, I think it's fair to criticize some of it.
Yeah, but what I was trying to say is that anyone who is on the right, pretty much anything they say is hyper-cynical because the Islamophobia and the hatred of Muslims is an underlying current in almost all things they do.
And their support of Israel is literally just so Jesus can kill all the unrepentant Jews when he returns.
That's it!
Like, they're really not on the Jewish people's side.
The Jewish people are just the vessel by which Jesus is brought to Earth, and then he smites them for them not accepting him as the Messiah.
So... And it's all gonna be moot when it's L. Ron Hubbard who comes back.
Oh, that'd be so great!
When he comes back, he's gonna get into one of those fuckin' places, into one of those fortress compounds, and he's gonna read his titanium cylinders and get caught up on the doings of the world, and then he's gonna be like, alright, now that I'm back, I'm gonna sort some shit out.
Give me my mech suit.
Yeah, like, so, like, with Witski, for example, Lauren Witski, like, oh, she's trying, like, currently, right now, she's trying to play, like, this, we care about innocent Palestinian babies.
That's why we're shit-talking Jewish people.
But normally, if you listen to her, she, like, literally calls Muslims, like, satanic barbarians who are literally R-worded.
Like, she's a disgusting white supremacist human being who's taking advantage of a situation like she doesn't have humanity for
either of these people and like you'll hear her say like the only reason like
She literally said in the episode I think that Wendy was on like Oh Jewish people better
watch out Making claims to land because Christians are the real ones
that have claimed to that land, you know All these folks are bush segment with so fucking long
I'm pulling the plug on it.
Oh my god, I'm sorry.
I mean, we only have two things, and it's like, come on, the election?
Congrats.
We win.
I'm really glad that I was getting this in.
Next.
Two minutes, go.
You no-saired me.
Very Sarge-like.
You're getting more Sarge-like by the week.
I'm so proud of you.
It's time for Q's in the News!
From the digital headlines to the digital frontlines, it's Q's in the News!
Okay, so I guess we're talking... I didn't even know this was a thing, so I... I mean, on the one hand, it's like, oh, hooray, a topic I can be educated on in media res, so fun.
But on the other hand, I have it labeled here as trans-shooter manifesto.
Bit of a bummer.
It seems like it's going to suck heinously.
I hate it, but we're going to talk about it.
Do you remember the Covenant shooting?
Uh, no.
I guess there's a lot of shootings to remember.
And so, who could keep up all... like, who am I?
It was the Christian school?
American gun control laws?
Yeah, so basically, there was a shooting in Nashville, and it was done by a trans shooter, which made the right-wingers so happy that a far-right nutball lunatic white guy with an AR-15 wasn't the shooter.
They were like, oh look, trans people are mentally deviant, and they're violent, and they're brutal, and it's terrible.
I do remember this.
It was when they really won me over to their side.
How could I forget the genesis of my transphobia?
I was like, oh, well, one of these trans people did a thing, so they all have to go.
No more trans.
You're all done.
Shut it down.
Yeah, exactly.
So that dumb shit all happened.
And one of the things that was reported at the time was that the shooter had left a manifesto And the police and various legal departments kept the manifesto under wraps because they didn't want it released, because they didn't want copycats to be inspired by it, they didn't want to give any
Glory to the shooter!
But the right-wingers really wanted that manifesto to be released because they were sure it was just chock full of raging hatred from this trans person who was just going to lash out at basically white patriarchy America and it was going to prove that like that whole worldview is like disease-minded and evil and wrong and bad.
So this week, three pages of the manifesto somehow leaked and Steven Crowder, of all people, got his mitts on it.
What is the legitimacy of this, too?
Because I saw that and I was immediately like, I don't know.
The commissioner of the police came out and said there's an investigation into figuring out who leaked it.
Oh, internal issues.
Yes, so this does seem to have legitimacy if the powers that be said that it got out when they didn't want it to get out.
So this is not a weird Chan prank, fake manifesto that got out.
But the main thing about this is that the only thing they really have to work with is that in these pages the shooter did use the term white privilege and also used the term cracker to describe white people.
It's literally scribbles.
It's literally the ramblings of a clearly not well person.
Right.
Trying to make like a clear Like anything out of it is just like, calm down.
Right.
It's, it's, it's nonsense.
But the thing that they're ignoring, the thing they are aggressively have to ignore is that, uh, anti-gay slurs, uh, are all over this thing.
This person might have a problem with white people, but they seem to have a bigger problem with gay people or they were just really, uh, they were really casual throwing the F-bomb around when it came to just like using that slur in their writings.
So.
Like, the whole dream of what they were hoping this was going to be, they really didn't get it.
So they're really doubling and tripling down on the term cracker and white privilege and being like, look, this person hated white people.
It's like, well, they were white also.
Maybe they like crackers.
Maybe they like saltines.
Could be.
Could very well be.
But yeah, so... Does anybody like saltines?
I love saltines!
See, I like saltines as part of an experience, but they can no longer be the whole show for me.
I ate a lot of them playing growing up, though, because I was very poor.
Yeah, same.
It's like, it's just a good, it fills you up quick, it's a cracker.
Fair enough.
I didn't mean to attack you, but I'm glad that I did.
Your taste is bad.
Yep.
I like a plain cracker.
I mean, I'm not like, oh my God, give me saltines.
But usually, you know, I'll throw a few saltines on the plate sometimes when I'm like, I need a cracker.
I feel you.
I mean, there's definitely way better crackers.
Let's be real.
Let's be fucking real here.
A lot of my friends gave me shit for liking graham crackers.
They said that that shit was basic.
And I was just like, dude, graham crackers are delish.
You're explaining the free box right now.
Like the free government box.
When you're a kid growing up, it's like your parents need to get the box.
It's like peanut butter, fucking crappy ragu, pasta, crackers, graham crackers.
I feel it.
I remember us coming out of a box, but yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Like the, the, like the big cylindrical can of either cheese or peanut butter, but it's just, they all come to the same aluminum cans with the white labels that just tell you what they are.
They'll just be like government peanut butter.
Bunch of crunch.
There was a lot of, oh my God.
The funniest was, um, crispy hexagons.
It was a cereal.
I remember Krispy Hexagons.
They're like Chex Hexagons.
Yeah, it's like, dang, that's really off-brand.
Dude, that's great.
Just like a description of the texture of a thing plus its shape, you know?
Here's Soft Square.
Enjoy your bowl of Soft Squares, dear.
Thank you.
I love Soft Squares.
They're very sensitive to my palate.
I just wanted to say that I am also on Team Graham Crackers.
Graham Crackers are awesome.
I'm a huge fan of them.
Like, I will eat way too many of them.
If you just have like a brick of Graham Crackers in front of me, I will probably eat them all.
We are so on topic.
It's wild.
Well, the topic was just right when you- The fucking- The Trans Shooter Manifesto is the one who brought up crackers.
What are we supposed to do?
They led us down this rabbit hole.
That's just the way this works.
We are but Alice following their white rabbit down the hole.
Yeah, we've been based in Cracker Pills as a result of this.
Literally, Carrie was talking about the manifesto.
She was like, this is proof that they attacked white children kind of stuff, you know?
Oh, yeah.
Well, they would say that no matter what.
Oh, yeah.
That's one of my favorite things about these people is that reality has nothing to do with it.
Also, you're so right that they were like excited.
They were like clearly excited about this fucking murder narrative when it happened.
It was like, Jesus Christ, calm down.
Yeah.
Well, let's be real.
They're probably in some way pretty excited by any mass shooting event for one reason or another.
Yep.
Yep.
But, you know, that's neither here nor there.
I feel like we've lost Mike.
We've lost him.
He died.
It's okay, the next thing is the election results.
I'll tell everybody right now, we win.
I mean, Ohio won.
That was pretty cool, I guess.
Ohio, you know, weed and abortion.
I think weed, right?
I kept hearing people complaining about weed too, so I just assumed.
And you'd be right.
You'd be absolutely right.
Complaining about it.
That's so funny.
I love the idea.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, the pissing and moaning and the bellyaching of these people who are quote-unquote lost when most of these people aren't even living in these states.
And they're just miserable because their team didn't win a game when it's...
No, this isn't sportsball where your team plays a game and it really doesn't impact your life.
This is like actual shit that matters to people and you're just a dumb weirdo who's mad sad about things.
So I went to this guy's Twitter feed to see what he's pissing and moaning about and the first thing up there is the photo of ghostly Jesus over Trump's shoulders comforting him and trying to reassure Donald that it's all going to work out great.
But yeah, the times.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
100% that.
Yeah.
So this guy, he literally posted a thing where he was just like, yeah, last night, the Democrats won all this stuff and blah, blah, blah.
And One of the first things he said, Ohio, number one, approved sacrificing babies to Moloch in the state constitution.
Fuck yeah.
Yes, 100%.
That's what they did in Ohio.
Dude, I've said it forever.
Fuck them kids.
Yep.
Children are better off as offerings to Moloch than actually being born and raised, 100%.
Yeah, I mean, some of them get to become adults, obviously.
Like, we still need to keep some adults around, but we can always make more kids for Moloch, so let's just keep cranking them out and, you know...
We gotta make the harvest good.
How is the harvest supposed to be good?
Yes.
Yeah.
And number two, after he whined about Moloch's slaughter, he said, keep approving, keeping, approving, keeping people numb and stoned all the time while society degrades around them.
How dare you want weed, you piece of shit?
Dude, that is the harvest.
We need to make good by continuing to sacrifice to the altar of Moloch.
We need dank herb.
Everybody wants it.
No one has complained about it.
All the people who are just like, boo, we hate it now.
Once it's legal, they'll come around.
They'll try it.
That's like who knocks you on your ass.
Like, it's a sweet man, chill.
I mean, maybe if you're like, maybe if you're a greenhorn.
Maybe if you're new to the world.
Because, I mean, some of this shit is pretty potent.
I'd like to see Macro does somebody on some gummies.
What if it's Alaskan Thunderfuck?
That'll put you on your ass.
Boom, kid.
Boom.
Did you guys have any interesting elections?
No, Massachusetts was boring as shit.
There was really nothing going on here.
We were weak as fuck.
I saw some people hanging out signs for, like, Councilor-at-Large, Light Commissioner.
This was really, like, the granular stuff around here.
There was no stakes involved.
I have no idea who our Light Commissioner was or is.
I hope our Light Commissioner's pilled.
That'd be great to find out.
It's like, oh shit, my Light Commissioner's nuts.
That's unfortunate.
Do you suppose I'm large enough to be a counselor at large?
I have to imagine... Knowing nothing about politics, I have to imagine their duties are pretty dependent on size, right?
I mean, that would have to be... It's right there on the title.
The bigger you are.
It's sort of like the goalie of... I'm the goalie of politics.
They're just like, you, Mr. Counselor, thank God you're here.
Please, just stand in this doorway.
Ah, perfect.
Just be large.
So good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Somebody was asking me if I was voting in our local shit, and I was like, dude, I don't know what a ward chancellor even is.
Get the fuck out of here.
I don't know what that is.
People were like, why don't you vote?
And I'm just like, a lot of the time, because I'm fucking uninformed, man.
I don't know shit about shit.
It's not really a thing I keep up with.
I would be going in there and just being like, I like the cut of this guy's name.
Boom.
There you go.
Yeah, I basically have the same mentality as my mom when she votes.
When you get down to the local dog catcher races and shit, my mom is just like, I just voted for the woman when I don't know any better because screw it, I just want to support my gender.
That's a great policy, but I mean, when it's like these votes and it's just like, you know, 600 people are participating in, like, my vote could actually really matter, and I don't want to be cast again if I'm uninformed.
I'd rather let the 600 people who are clearly invested, like, figure it out.
The people that know what's going on.
Yeah.
And if it was important enough that they needed my vote, I'm sure somebody would just be like, dude, you don't understand this local politics.
It's like the domino that's going to like, you know, they're about to start, they're going to stop sacrificing babies to Moloch and shit if you don't get on board.
I'd be like, okay, cool.
601st vote.
The person that my friend told me was important to keep the sacrifices flowing.
Here you go.
Yeah.
Yeah, so Ohio, big wins for Team Moloch.
Kentucky, which in case you didn't know, is a blood-red state, had the Democrat win re-election as governor.
Andy Beshear, I know his last name is Beshear.
So Kentucky has a reverse Massachusetts happening?
That's sort of weird.
Yeah, exactly.
People have pointed this out is that Bashir's opponent literally spent like $30 million just running ads where they were like, Bashir is basically just Joe Biden.
You hate Joe Biden, right?
So don't fucking vote for this guy.
And people were like, yeah, fuck you, buddy.
We're voting for Bashir.
He's great.
So, like, their whole strategy of Biden is deadly toxic, and by slurring our governor as being a Biden shill, we will defeat him.
And it was like, nope, you don't.
You actually lose in a massive landslide.
Sorry, dum-dums.
And then finally in Virginia, this is Glenn Youngkin's state because he was supposed to be the future of the Republican Party.
He was supposed to be MAGA without Trump because he was the guy that wanted governorship and was supposed to be a moderate, sensible Republican.
And this was the lead everyone was supposed to be following.
And it's like, no, Glenn Youngkin is just a standard culture warrior, abortion banning nutball.
Same as every other Republican.
And as a result, the Democrats held on to the Virginia Senate, and they won the Virginia House, which is called the House of Delegates.
So they flipped that.
They took control of it.
And now, for the first time in Virginia's history, the Speaker of the House will be a black man.
So take that, Confederacy.
Boom.
Roasted.
Wasn't there a big win for an openly trans?
He got burned again.
What up?
Yes, there was a trans legislator who won in Virginia also, I do believe.
I saw those headlines making the round.
Yeah, I mean, for somebody who is completely out of touch with this stuff, it was nice to wake up this morning and, you know, I check my straight-down-the-middle news outlets, but then inevitably I'm just like, alright, let's see what HuffPo has to say about this stuff.
And luckily, in instances like this, HuffPo is proud to tell me all the big left-leaning victories.
It was real nice, I was just like, caught up on the news of the world, went over to my HuffPo to see what my liberal news of the country was, and it was just like, hey, it turns out it's a great day for liberal news in your country, big wins across the board, everybody loving pot, everybody loving abortions, everybody smoking pot and getting abortions all over the place, openly trans lawmakers doing big things, you know, surprisingly Kentucky getting in the mix being, like, sane in some way, it's weird, like, Ohio, like, I mean, would you imagine these places?
It's just like, hell yeah!
The Ohio thing is like hella energizing Arizona too because we're currently in the middle of gathering signatures to get abortion on the ballot in 2024, to get ours also enshrined, the right to abortion enshrined in the constitution.
And it would also expand abortion rights here as it currently is, which is a really big fucking deal.
So any listeners who are in Arizona who have not signed that, just an FYI, get on it, volunteer, azforabortionaccess.com.
Danica Roem.
R-O-E-M.
She was Virginia's first transgender state senator who just won an election.
All around excellent across the board.
It was all bonds here.
It was just like municipality shit, but there was a mayor race in Tucson that the lady running against the Democrat sucked.
All she did was like post pictures of homeless people she found on the road and was like, look at this.
This is what happens when you like Democrats.
Vote for me.
And she lost pretty hard.
So that rocks.
Good.
I love that these people have, like, no platform to stand on other than... And others are like, this is human.
Let me degrade them.
Vote for me.
Just literal hatred and anger.
They're just like, our enemies are bad people who love the devil.
Vote for me.
I love God.
And it's like, well...
What if I don't care about religion at all?
What policies do you have to offer me, the non-political, the non-religious voter?
And they're just like, I got nothing for ya.
Sorry, that's just... And also, if you love God so much, if you love Jesus so much, when was the last time you gave one of those homeless people a footbath?
You know what I mean?
Like what was the last time you went into a bank and just started fucking shit up because banks suck?
You know?
It's like Jesus had like a playbook.
You're not following any of that shit you fucking coons.
If I was a Christian, I would go mad.
Like, if I believed in the power of Christ, I would lose my shit.
Like, just constantly, every day, just feeling like I was taking the world's most craziest, crazy pills.
Not because there were a bunch of people out there that didn't share my faith.
Because there were a bunch of people out there who allegedly shared my faith that just obviously had no fucking idea what they were talking about.
I would just be like, what are you on?!
The book says the stuff!
It says the stuff!
That's what always gets me about Christianity is Jesus is a liberal.
He's a socialist.
He's literally the rich.
A rich person has as much of a chance of getting to heaven as a camel has of going through the eye of a needle.
It's all about give your shit to poor people.
It's just like your interpretation, man.
My Jesus is a vengeful Jesus, okay?
Yeah, there was never a vengeful Jesus.
His dad was the sickest, most vengeful dude ever.
And that was the original trilogy of the Bible.
And that Bible is mad fun and mad cool.
And like, there's a bunch of shit in there that is super fucked up.
And those stories are great.
But Christianity is fundamentally about the part that happened after that, allegedly, where Jesus showed up and he was like, dude, I'm gonna take the L for everybody, but in taking the L, I am going to give you all a massive dub for your sins forever.
Like, so, it's on me, bro, and I'm gonna take care of this.
And then he did that, and in the process of getting everybody on board with this plan, he was just like, oh yeah, by the way, rich people suck, and you should treat poor people nice, and don't be afraid of lepers or whatever, they're just regular people, and everyone is cool, and you should just have a chill vibe.
And all that stuff is the part that these people are just constantly ignoring.
Especially when they're hating homeless people, I'm just like, holy shit.
Literally, Jesus would be mad cool with homeless people.
He would be helping them all the time.
He would be like, hey, there should be no homeless people.
Exactly.
He'd be like, why do you have so many rich people and so many homeless people?
Just even it out.
And people would be like, you're going crazy.
Get them on a cross again immediately.
This man is talking too much.
That which you do to the least of us, you do to me.
That is literally Christ.
That is literally the Bible.
This isn't tricky.
Yet these fucks, all they really care about is hell.
All they care about is hating their enemies.
Joel Berry, I believe he's the founder of the Babylon Bee, after the election results he posted a tweet that said, Take comfort in knowing that God will avenge the blood of the innocent.
Every knee will bow.
No one will escape.
Someday the unrepentant abortionist will look across an uncrossable chasm at his own victims and beg for a drop of water to cool his tongue.
They don't care about the love and the compassion of Jesus.
They want God to just smite their enemies.
That's all they care about.
They just want everyone to suffer.
We've got wildly off topic because we started talking about a different flavor of hypocrisy that we're used to talking to on the show here and it got us all energized.
We're also jaded and beaten down by the normal hypocrisy of Republicans that it was just nice to get to their religious hypocrisy for a while and really just give them some shots to the body.
Oh yeah, but I also think that this is relevant because the whole abortion argument is steeped in this Christian morality bullshit that God doesn't want you to kill these poor babies and that's why we're doing this.
As a guy, abortion really isn't my issue.
Thankfully, we finally have a woman on the show, so we actually have someone who can speak to the issue of abortion.
She checked out a while ago.
When we went deep in our rant, she was deep in her phone.
I called you out earlier, I'm calling you out.
This is why I do no webcam.
You can't tell anyone about my phone.
Am I putting my phone in front of the screen now?
You don't know.
It could be yes.
I just, I just hate the absolute hypocrisy of the abortion issue because it's obviously about the subjugation of women.
It's obviously about treating women as second class citizens.
There's no other reason for it.
And yet these pieces of shit just go around talking about saving the babies, the poor unborn babies.
Like, fuck you.
It's about Moloch.
Okay.
It's about Moloch.
It really, for me, it's about Moloch.
It's about appeasing my dark God.
That's why I care so much about abortion.
Is making sure that my giant owl bull god is satiated with the blood of the innocent.
Yeah, and it's kind of fucked up that these people keep trying to legislate attacks on our belief system.
So unfair!
Actually, it's funny, the Church of Satan did file a lawsuit somewhere saying that banning abortion violated their First Amendment rights because abortion is a religious sacrament to them.
Which is obvious bullshit, but good on the Satanic Church for taking a swing.
Yeah, did they open, what was it, the Anton Alito's Mom's Abortion Center for the Poor or whatever?
They gave it some sort of insane name like that.
Anyway.
I'll have to look into that.
But yeah, it's a moral and religious argument that has no basis in reality, but still got enough of a stranglehold on enough of our country that it's apparently a question still, you know?
And the fact that we actually took a huge L on ourselves recently with the striking of Roe v. Wade, fucking insane stuff that we never thought we'd see in our lifetime, but there we go.
Sometimes those wacky conservatives will surprise you by getting one over the goal line and you'll be like, wow, you are fucking monsters.
So crazy.
My favorite thing about that is you see Sean Hannity and all these other Republicans who are like, oh God, the Democrats are demonizing us on the abortion issue and it's getting them votes.
This is not great.
And then you see Republican voters on Twitter being like, oh, the Luciferians have prevailed again and slain the unborn.
And it's like, guess what, Hannity?
Guess what, fucking Republicans?
This is your base.
You've radicalized them so much that they literally think abortion is a satanic ritual.
And that's what they're voting against, is literal demons slaughtering babies to their dark god.
And now you're trying to say, yo, yo, people, people who think this is a demonic ritual, uh, would you be cool with a 15-week ban?
Like, after 15 weeks, it's illegal?
Because, uh, up until 15 weeks, Moloch wins, but then after that, God wins?
Because, uh, Daddy needs to win Arizona or he can't be president again, so... Yeah, we're getting breaking news from Jesus himself as to where the moral line is here.
And he's called it!
It's 15 weeks!
So, uh, back up to the booth, it's you, Yahweh.
Yes!
Thanks, Jim.
Uh, anyway.
Uh, I'm just imagining, like, the modern, like, the modern, uh, I can't even remember his name.
Adam Smith was the gold plates?
Yeah.
The modern founder of Mormonism, like, running over to the gold plates and being like, He's like, God said abortion is okay up to 15 weeks.
Can you see the gold plate that says that?
No, you can't.
But here's Moroni.
Bye!
And runs away.
You just wanted to get Moroni onto the show, you fucking shill.
It's in my contract.
I get 50 bucks a week if I plug him.
The most important part, before we go into our mailbag segment, the most important part is that you are a listener, who I'm sure is not a conservative.
Unless you hate listening, in which case, thanks.
But all this evidence, all these huge wins for Team Sanity, great new ammunition in our arsenal for telling your conservative friends and family members, hey, look at all this evidence that your voting doesn't matter because it's rigged.
You should probably just stop even trying.
Why vote, you know?
Like, even when you're voting, you're losing, so why bother going to the polls, deal with the people, maybe catch a corona if it exists, which it doesn't.
I mean, come on.
And it's so great you said that, because Michael Flynn posted a thing where he's like, let's just use Kentucky as an example, and he was like, look at the enthusiasm gap we had there, and so many of the replies to Michael Flynn were, why should we vote, it's fucking rigged!
Exactly!
It is the truth.
Sell it to your friends and family as the truth, because it is.
Their vote is worthless.
That's why I cast it.
And on that note, let's move to our mailbag.
Oh right, none of our sound clips are working.
It's time for the mailbag!
And hopefully there's not two types of audio playing and we can't just hear only that one.
Nah, the Lodi bar is still going for the soundboard.
Excellent.
Yes, well done.
What an incredibly professional outfit we're running this week.
Great job, Riverside.
Boom.
Nailed it.
You're the best.
You know what?
I mean, this is the first time we've had to complain about them in a while, and considering we were weekly complaining about the other word we were using, like, let's count our blessings.
Mailbag time!
Eric, supports the current thing, said, I actually thought about this last week, but
more recent events have made this question even more relevant.
Have you considered a segment on Blue Anon, more specifically Stew-Anon?
Well we did have a Stew-Anon segment this week.
I...
Blue Anon really doesn't get that much play around here because they don't usually get
that much traction in my sphere of influence because people kind of know who they are.
I remember Bad Company this week, one of the worst Bluenon promoters out there, posted a tweet that was like, it seems like modern Christians forget who killed Jesus.
And it was like, whoa, whoa, Bad Company just ripping the mask off.
Wow.
What the fuck, bro?
So that was really spicy.
But beyond that, like, Yeah, well, why are we picking a fight with the Romans?
I mean, what?
Yes, exactly!
What the fuck?
Why are we going after Italy?
They're cool, they got the- I don't know, like, what the- They're so- It's- It's this fight- Why are we punching down to Italy?
I mean, let's fucking- We will cover Blue Adon as needed, though, because I feel like it is needed because they're grifters.
That is true, but I feel like part of the reason why I wouldn't want to do... You don't have to call Blue Anon, though, if you don't like that.
Because I know a lot of people take issue with the fucking name or whatever.
I think it's hilarious.
I love it.
Mike, you're kind of the lead here on the QAnon stuff, so... Oh, well, I just... I don't like the Blue Anon people much either, so... I know, but what's your opinion of the terminology, Blue Anon?
I'm okay with it because it is riffing off... It's the same act, because QAnon is a Hopium-based bullshit that some force is going to save us from the baddies, and that's a lot of what BlueAnon is.
Like, Bad Company and all these idiots, a lot of times they're just posting stuff like, oh, hearing some chatter, oh, some rumblings about some stuff happening, and it's just that kind of shit where It's not true.
Like they're, they're not hearing chatter.
They're not hearing about arrests.
They're just fucking LARPing.
And so I think calling those people out as blue and on is warranted because they're just doing the exact same thing.
They're like, Oh, I got insider intelligence that Donald Trump's going down.
And it's like, no.
Just two more weeks, everybody subscribe to my sub stack.
Yes!
Oh god, please.
100%.
Oh man.
But at the same time, I think we'd be playing with fire if we were going to try to do like a weekly segment on it.
There's not enough content.
But it is relevant to talk about because people should identify grifters in their scene.
But at the same time, we should not signal boost them because there is a Venn diagram of where their opinions and our opinions overlap in a way that is not present.
When we're dealing with conservative conspiracy theories.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Like, we should not cover The Weekly because we should not be talking about, like, they are too close to us as an opposition for us to want to cover Weekly.
We need to talk about them when they're at their craziest or when they pick a fight with Mike directly.
Right.
Yeah.
When they cross a line and do dumb shit, then I'd be willing to call them out.
But for the most part, it's just dumb, hopium shit.
But if I saw one of these assholes post a thing where they were like, Hey everybody, Trump's getting arrested in two weeks.
And by the way, I need like $50,000 for this thing.
And it's like, I'd be like, no, you're just lying and you want money from people.
Fuck you.
So yeah, I mean like that would be the kind of thing that I'd be like more interested in like looking into and going after.
Uh, so, uh, thank you for the question.
Uh, up next, uh, Storlak CPAP asks, why has no one confronted L about him singing the Cheese Tax song?
I feel like this is some sort of trap phrase that I'm supposed to repeat and it's going to be like a gotcha.
I have no idea.
I also don't know.
You're going to have to explain.
Nope, I don't know either.
I have no idea what the song is.
Explain, listener.
The Cheese Tax song.
I have no idea what the Cheese Tax is.
What the fuck is even happening right now?
I feel like it's gotta be something obvious.
They trolled us.
They wanted to break us.
And they did.
Next question.
I don't think that's true.
This is a loyal listener who asks a lot of questions.
So I have to imagine that it's some sort of reference or something that's like, it should be obvious, but for whatever reason it just happens to be, they would not throw us something that just is intentionally supposed to go over all of our heads.
Right.
Yeah, so please clarify next week.
We now have the first ever... Hey, what's your fucking problem, mate?
Mate, what's your fucking problem?
We have our first mailbag cliffhanger.
Tune in next week when we find out what the cheese tag song was.
Cheese tags are these nuts.
Damn it, I got them, I guess.
It's gonna be great.
The Pancake Peasant asks, who are your allies in the podcast struggle against QAnon, either fellow digital soldiers or humble civilians?
I really don't listen to a lot of podcasts.
I mean, I was just on Did Nothing Wrong.
There was a great podcast.
I was on that, too.
So everybody support them.
Yeah, I had a lot of fun with them.
I listened to Knowledge Fight.
I listened to Some Behind the Bastards.
I listened to QAA.
QAA doesn't need our help, though.
They should boost us, if any of you fucks are listening.
Just kidding.
Jake just started following the Hellworld podcast feed on Twitter.
Oh, hi, Jake, if you're listening.
Hi, Jake.
Have me on the pod, please.
I need the signal boost.
Yeah, they've had me on a couple times.
I guess you're somebody important.
I obviously don't know who you are, but if you're listening, welcome to the crib.
Yeah, exactly.
If somebody wants to get me out to the LA live DJ set that QA is putting on, I would like to go to that.
But you know, it's like, costs money.
Unreal!
Your call to action to our listeners to try to get you to a place is to get you to another podcaster?
Not even to go visit Mike or myself?
Unreal!
I mean, I think the reason, like, didn't we kind of meet through QA, I feel like?
Like, I feel like we kind of... I don't remember how we met, really, Mike.
The QA people were like the first people to, like, kind of boost my shit.
Because Travis and I got kicked out of an event together.
And it kind of like forced him to be my friend.
I just think we were talking because of our shared hatred of QAnon and right-wingers, and I got you to co-host the show a couple times because you're available.
So I think that's what bonded us is our shared hatred and the fact that you have free time.
So that makes you the greatest of all people in my eyes.
Yikes.
I mean, really?
Because it read like a burn.
I don't know.
No, but it's true!
Like, you're okay, but you're, like, available?
Yeah.
Oh, dude.
It's like when I'm just, like, mad.
You're, like, potty there?
Her best trait was that she, like, was interested in me.
That part was really nice.
You have no idea how desperate I would be for that trait.
Oh my god.
I'm such a sad, lonely boy.
Don't worry, Hayley.
No shade.
If you ever get the chance to jump to QAA, we would totally understand.
No, they have like a million hosts.
They've had me on like twice.
Which is nice.
I like that.
Everybody support QAA.
If you want all your QAnon information, that's a pretty good place to go.
They're probably more informed on any of the topics than I am, for sure, and maybe more than the show at large, because I drag us down like an anchor in that regard.
No.
No, everybody needs, like, the guy that doesn't know everything, you know?
Everybody needs someone who's ignorant.
That is, it's like, you're the audience.
This is a calculated move on our part.
I'm not, I'm not saying that I shouldn't be here.
I need to be here.
Otherwise, this show would drive people crazy.
I don't really listen to too many either.
I listen to stuff that is not QAA related.
My only QAnon allies in the podcasting sphere are my Ride or Die co-hosts, Mike Rains and Hayley, and formerly Sarge.
Although, is it Ride or Die if you abandon me?
I don't know.
Sarge?
I did.
I did.
I know.
You're dead.
What about you?
I just gave pickups to you.
I would be giving you pickups, but you can't see.
The daps are happening.
You can't see them because of the lack of the webcam, but I'm waving my fist for daps for you.
They're there.
Receive them digitally.
I've got some stuff for you too, Mike.
We're waving.
Yes, theater of the mind for the listeners.
Thank you for the question.
SubZeroShirtArt says, quick question, what is Praying Medic up to these days?
Still ambulance chasing?
He's praying.
And Medicaid.
Yes, he's doing both those things.
I checked his timeline and it is dry as shit.
He is literally like some sort of bizarre, boring-ass QAnon news aggregator.
He's just like, link to a news article, link to another news article, retweet of someone in the right wing.
Ah, so he's following in the footsteps of his leader, Q. Yes, pretty much.
Yeah, he's just, he's totally abandoned any actual effort posting and is totally leaving.
Pretty soon, he will be posting how he will not take it.
Yes!
Hey, if you believe we were going to take it, allow me to retort that with this simple link to a YouTube video, if I could.
No, I don't believe we are going to be taking it, thank you very much.
Nope, not at all.
Yeah, so Pragmatic is incredibly lazy now.
He's not even doing his shit where he's like, I had a dream last night that I was talking about ham radios, and then people bought ham radios, because that guy was really fucking into ham radios.
You have no idea.
He was very into ham radios.
Really?
And he was conservative?
What?
That's so weird.
Yeah, he had a survival bunker under his basement, and you might be surprised to know that he was Republican.
Yeah, that's a shocker.
And finally, Old McWalkin says, First, I'd like to apologize to Mike for throwing him in front of that bus on the Aria question.
Thank you.
Second, and more importantly, if Jim Stewartson, Mike Raines, and Travis View were in a Hell in a Cell match, who would pin who, and what would their finisher be?
Oh my god, oh my god, let me answer real quick.
Okay, first of all, wait, what?
Repeat the question.
It really is a QAA stand.
She's no, I'm not.
I want it.
I want I'm I'm a Mike versus Stu fan.
Are you guys are fighting?
That's the scenario.
I don't know any wrestling moves, right?
That's the but I think you would just destroy him.
You're missing the fact that Travis View is in the fight also.
That's why Elle got on you for being a threat.
If you guys would destroy him together, that would be even better.
Yeah, the problem is that only one of us can win.
So once I saw this question, it made me laugh so much because I'm a huge wrestling dork.
Then you would win.
First you guys would take out Stu, and then in the tragic fight between you two, you would unfortunately kill Travis.
By doing some type of body slam.
See, killing somebody by doing a body slam is the closest you've gotten to what professional wrestling is.
Because, just because these three people are the ones that are, like, in the ring duking it out, that doesn't mean that that's all the people in the fight.
There's, like, a lot of different ways they can go, and you can interfere in a lot of ways.
I would imagine that Travis would just call in that guy that he uses for his profile picture to just come and do some of his fighting for it, right?
Like, that guy would, like, come out, representing Travis, and then be like, oh, I recognize him from his profile pic!
Oh, shit!
It's that guy!
And then he would do the lighting.
So, my view of this as the wrestling dork is that So Travis is the champion of our QAnon Wrestling League, and he is defeating all the bad guys.
He's defeating your Jordan Saethors, he's defeating your Martin Geddes' and your Pragmedics.
And then Jim Stewartson comes in, and his whole gimmick is that Travis is actually a baddie, and Jim's the only one who can see that Travis and all of Travis' buddies are actually secretly evil.
And then Jim, through nefarious means, wins the title off of Travis.
And now Jim's going around doing his dumb conspiracy nonsense, and they're building up the rematch between Travis and Jim.
And I'm showing up, and the promoters are looking at me and they're wondering, do we have anything with this guy?
Do we have any shine with this Mike Rains fellow?
Does he play at all?
So they put me in the match just to see how the crowd reacts to me.
Do I get a good pop when my entrance happens?
When I get a couple pins on Jay Stu, do they get excited that I might win the title or not?
And then when we have the big dramatic moment where I pin Stu but Travis hits me to break it up, is the crowd mad at Travis for doing that, or are they okay with it?
Are they like, yeah?
And then at the end of the day, Travis does win the belt off Stu because, again, he's the main eventer and Stu sucks.
And then the next night on the show, Travis has his big celebration of the title, and then J-Stew comes out and cuts a promo on him about, you only beat me because your little friend helped you win, just like you're helping Michael Flynn!
And the crowd's like, ooooh!
And then the Travis and J-Stew feud continues down the line, and then I go get some tag team partner and do something else in the midcard, and they, again, they're just taking the test on the temperature on me, just seeing where I'm at, seeing if I'm cooking or not, seeing if the fans are okay with me.
And then when you test poorly, boom, straight into the sarcophagus, lights off, big pop, Ramitette.
It's all about Ramitette!
Dude, everything is the bill to Ramitette, the wrestling mummy.
It's the most online conversation, too.
It's like, holy shit.
You know, Mike, it seems like you may have done this before, this fantasy roleplay thing You dream about beating up Stu and Travis in the ring often?
All the time!
I just lay in bed coming up with scenarios where I'm going to be wrestling my enemies in the QAnon universe.
And obviously Travis View is one of them.
My greatest enemy.
Also, just based on what I know about the competitors, I'm gonna take a flyer and say that Travis View is probably the most in shape of the boys.
So just based on that, like, all the other joking aside, these two guys get into a fight with each other.
I'm going him just because I know how the other two look.
Like, not because I know, again, I can't stress this enough, not because I know how Travis looks.
But because I know how the other two look, I'm giving the win to Travis.
I know how two look, and I'm going to go ahead and say, Mike, you can take them.
You are so wrong.
Mostly because you have no idea how unbelievably brittle I am.
And also, I've eaten so much ice cream with Mike Reyes that I know that neither of us are as good at a fight as we should be.
You're looking at their build, their size, you know, they could probably do some damage, but it's both so soft.
We love ice cream.
So much.
I have hypermobile shoulders.
Like, if I move my arm in any direction that is wrong, I just dislocate my shoulder immediately.
It is really bad.
Then you take your dislocated shoulder and you whack him with it.
We're going to do your fighting style.
Some sort of elaborate mini boss.
Yeah, I'm like the detachable arm man from the first five minutes of the Suicide Squad movie.
It makes your punch extra long.
But that guy was super memorable!
You even sort of kind of remembered his name, except not really, you just described what his powers were.
But you kind of remembered him, and that's the point.
Yes, exactly.
I nailed it.
I wanted to be kind of remembered, like Nathan Fillion's character from the Suicide Squad.
Okay, so that brings us to our final question as always.
What are you guys looking forward to?
I have a Friendsgiving celebration on Sunday, which should be nice because it's an opportunity to hang out and see a bunch of people that I don't normally get to hang out with and just casually chill and have cranberry margaritas and just like a wholesome good time of wholesome goodness.
And also, we're all child-free for now, so that's great.
Love that part.
That's good.
I don't know.
I don't know this week.
I don't know what I'm looking forward to.
The Doja Cat concert is tonight, but it's like, do I have the energy to go to that?
I didn't get tickets, but you know, there's always tickets available.
And it's like, do I want to go?
Kind of?
Well, if you do, you can get tickets.
So it's on you.
I know.
I know.
Yeah.
So maybe, maybe I'm looking forward to that.
Maybe.
How long have you liked Doja Cat?
Have you been a fan for a while?
Or was it after she took off?
A while.
A little bit.
A few years at least.
And she just put out a new album.
It's okay.
It's pretty good.
I just like Doja Cat.
I think she's cool.
I also like Doja Cat.
I get it.
She's problematic a little bit.
But I think she's got fire outfits and some fire music.
It makes me dance.
So that's all that matters sometimes.
Well, I was asking the question mostly because I feel a little guilty of snobbery when it comes to Doja Cat because, like, I've been listening to her for, like, many years, and, like, a lot of the times these days my impulses just be like, you know, I liked Doja Cat before she was, like, the world's biggest pop star or whatever.
It's just like, I liked her shit back when she was still, like, underground and cool.
I'm just like, I don't know if I like that impulse anymore.
I'm sorry.
I did actually learn of her from Bitch I'm a Cow, which is, I know, she probably had shit before that, but I did learn from the meme of her.
And I love, I unironically loved that song.
I was like, dude, this is actually a banger.
I don't know why people are dissing it.
And I had a, again, Halloween last week, I mentioned I had a full cow outfit.
It was great.
Inspiration.
Yeah, you showed us those grainy, barely legible pictures of it from your terrible webcam.
I thought you could see it through the webcam.
I'll send you a picture.
I was like, hey, I could see it, mostly because I didn't want to just be like, that's a blurry nothing.
There's nothing there.
I mean, I could tell what you were, but you know, it's a webcam.
I'm not feeling no hate or anything, but you're not like a professional streamer, so you've got a regular person webcam, and it's not very high quality.
This is my screen.
Anyway, it's really important, Mike.
I am looking forward to completing the game Overboard, which I saw on YouTube for five seconds and immediately was like, this game looks unbelievably hilarious, and I immediately had to get into it, and it's a ton of fun.
What the fuck-ass hell is Overboard?
Yeah, what is that?
Is that like one of those you gotta chop vegetables kind of games?
No.
That's overcooked.
Yes, it is.
It is overcooked.
No, Overboard, you are a fading starlet who married a guy for his money.
Wow.
And now he's broke.
So on a cruise from England to America, you have thrown him overboard to get rid of him.
And now you have to cover up the fact that you've killed your husband.
And so it's kind of a reverse whodunit where, you know, who committed the crime
and it was you and you have to outwit the detective character.
So it's a whodunit.
Yes, it's a whodunit.
And it's like it's how to commit crimes the game.
And and yeah, and basically for like regular people, you would call it like Groundhog's Day because the game resets
to the start of the day every time.
Us like nerds would call it a roguelike.
So you're basically replaying the same game over and over again.
And it was very funny.
The first time that I got away with the murder, I was like, yes, I've beaten the game.
And then the game was like, oh no, oh no, you didn't beat the game.
You are so far away from beating the game.
You have no idea.
Getting away with the murder is only the start of your problems, buddy.
And I was like, oh shit, this game is like, because it was a $15 game I got off Steam.
I talked to one of my friends about it.
They looked for it as an app on their phone and it was like a $6 app on their phone.
And so I thought it was going to have like five, maybe like 10 hours of playability, but apparently you can get like 20, 30 hours out of this game if like you really chew down to the marrow.
And I haven't actually quote unquote beaten it yet.
So it's a lot of fun.
I've been very much enjoying it.
Nice.
Look at that.
A deep cut, like, phone game recommendo.
I'd love to see it.
Most phone games that I try are horrendous, so I am genuinely jealous that you found one that you enjoy.
I'm always looking for, like, the next thing to play while I'm laying around in my bed like a dingus and, yeah, just swinging a miss usually.
