	The Adventures in Hellworld podcast talks in-depth about QAnon.
	While it's meant to be comedic informative, sometimes we have to get into things like child abuse and violence against people.
	Listener discretion advised.
	Hello everybody, I'm Mike Rains, a.k.a.
	Poker and Politics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
	This week is part three of Pizzagate.
	I don't even know what kind of pizza we're into at this point, but it's a lot of pizza.
	I am joined as always by Haley, a.k.a.
	Chaley, a.k.a.
	Arizona Rightwatch.
	What up, everybody?
	I had some good pizza this weekend.
	There's this place here that, like, it's like a three-hour wait, and someone fancier than me actually reserved a spot, and I had some delicious pizza unrelated to the podcast.
	All pizzas are related to the podcast.
	As we've been told, like, pizza means evil.
	So if you had pizza, you've done an evil thing.
	I am also joined by someone who's not evil.
	It's Steph.
	Steph the Good Egg.
	Hi, everybody.
	I am broadcasting to you live from Doug Stanhope's guest house in Bisbee, Arizona.
	Yay.
	You can feel the excitement permeating.
	The room is very green.
	Everything is a different color all around the compound.
	And we're also joined by Eric, who I don't have anything really weird to say about him today, but it's just Eric.
	Oh, he has an escape room t-shirt on, and I was so jealous!
	I love escape rooms, and apparently he did some.
	That's great.
	Yeah, I mean, you know, this shirt's from like a couple years ago, but yes, I have done escape rooms.
	And I just, since we brought up pizza, you know, I just want to say that Deep Dish is pizza, and I will die on this hill.
	Is it pizza?
	It is.
	I live in Chicago.
	It is pizza.
	I have spoken.
	Do you like it more?
	Sorry, what?
	Do you like it more than normal pizza?
	I wouldn't say more.
	In Chicago, deep dish is really kind of a touristy thing.
	I'll have deep dish a couple times a year, maybe, but I do enjoy it when I have it.
	You gotta go to the right place, though.
	There's a lot of contention about that, but in my opinion, Illuminati's has a really good deep dish.
	So if you're ever in the Chicago area, look for Illuminati's.
	Illuminati's?
	Yes!
	That's awesome.
	It's hard because it's actually Lou, as in Louis, you know, Melnati, but if you're from here, you pronounce it so it sounds like Illuminati, totally without irony.
	Oh man, that guy.
	That sounds...
	It sounds like a pizza restaurant that would be an inside job.
	I mean, that just feels like they need to I remember...
	You should bring a lot of loose change when you come there.
	Yes, yes.
	We take lots of loose change.
	Oh, God.
	I remember walking by the Salem Mall and they had a pizza joint and they literally just had street art on the placard outside and they just drew an eyeball on the pizza slice.
	And I was like, man, this is going to trigger so many people.
	So many people to get upset about this kind of thing.
	Going to lose their minds over this art.
	Oh, also, Luminati's, you can have their deep dish pizza shipped anywhere in the country.
	Be sure to ask for cheese when you have your special shipment brought from anywhere.
	Yes, of course.
	And it comes with a free Wayfair cabinet.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	So, anyone seeing drones?
	Can we talk drones?
	Of course we can talk about them.
	Well, you're on the East Coast, so have you seen any, Mike?
	No, I have not.
	What I have seen are planes, literal planes.
	That's all that's going on here.
	It's like, I was sitting in the break room and I actually had three people talking and freaking out about the drones.
	And I piped up.
	I couldn't take it.
	And I just said, they're airplanes.
	It's planes.
	There's nothing to this.
	And they were like, well, I'm not so sure.
	And I was like, oh, God.
	I always feel like in any situation like this, I'm like the debunker because I'm trying to tell people they're showing footage of drones.
	I'm like, no, that's an airplane.
	And you can see it in the notes.
	It says that the guy is lined up with the runway so that it looks like it's stationary, but it's actually just coming straight towards him.
	And then, like, any situation, I feel like I've got to be the one debunking, because, like, just today, I was talking to some co-workers, and the shooting in Madison came up, and one of the other people said, oh, I heard that lady was trans.
	I'm like, no, she was not trans.
	That is something that right-wing media is cooking up, because they can't admit that anyone, you know, who wasn't trans may have been the shooter.
	Tell them to touch grass.
	You can tell them that.
	If you're on the internet too much.
	If you're on the part of the internet, it's like, everything is trans.
	Get off the fucking internet.
	That's my advice.
	This person I was talking to is not some terminally online person.
	It's just...
	It's gotten to the point that these sneaky right-wing talking points have become the mainstream.
	The internet is part of it now.
	That people who don't watch the news are hearing them and believing them.
	Yeah, I had...
	Yeah, I had a coworker of mine, like a nice old lady, I had to walk her through the fact that no, there were not schools that were giving out litter boxes for teenagers that identified as cats and dogs to shit in.
	That's not a real thing.
	I had to, like, do that.
	I had to, like, hold her hand and walk her through that process.
	And it was just like, oh, my God.
	Just...
	You gotta be kidding me.
	So, yeah.
	It's wonderful that we live in such a golden age of misinformation and disinformation.
	And not gonna get any better.
	Ever.
	Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.
	What is funny is that...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Go ahead.
	I lose.
	No, there's this place called the Flying Saucer Pizza Company in Salem that is like really excellent pizza.
	And I just remembered that because now it's emerging of both things.
	It's both aliens and pizza.
	Is it ran by a chef named Luigi?
	If only it was.
	If only it was.
	It's this little plaza in Salem.
	The witch statue, which generated a lot of controversy because a lot of people really did not appreciate the fact that they were using a statue of a TV witch in Salem.
	And then other people just looked at them and said, yo, it's Salem.
	We're a tourist trap.
	We do anything we can to make ourselves appealing to the tourists and rope them in here.
	No, we were not going to have a statue, an actual coven of witches.
	Calm down.
	But that little plaza, they have the Bewitched statue there.
	And their first project was like the artisan sandwiches and live music and all that kind of stuff.
	And that's called the Gulu Gulu Cafe.
	And then after the Gulu became like super popular and made like tons of money, they then opened a pizza joint next to it.
	That's the Flying Saucer Pizza Company.
	And so that's this little slice of Salem that I know of.
	And it is aggressively Salem.
	You walk into the Gulu Gulu Cafe, you walk into the Flying Saucer, they have the Jean-Luc Picard as a Borg statue right next to the door.
	They lean in hard to the gimmick.
	It's really good.
	And I've been to Salem, which I mentioned before we started, and I do like how they're Totally unashamed of, you know, their touristy status.
	Like, I noticed in one part I was in, the no parking areas had pictures of witches on broomsticks and it said witch parking only.
	Yeah.
	Cheesy.
	Cheesy shit.
	Anyway.
	It's literally all Salem is.
	You have no idea.
	It's just cheesy.
	It's Hallmark.
	It's just the Hallmark Halloween constantly.
	Ah, well, it's part that, and then it's part just aggressively being Salem and doing everything they can to rope you into the witch mythology.
	There's so many places that are selling you, like...
	Hex potions, love potions, candles, voodoo balls.
	A lot of colonial stuff, too.
	I remember going to one area where they were showing, like, you know, this is the kind of mud hut that the very first colonists of Salem would have lived in.
	And, you know, here's a tiny house that a family of 20 would have lived in and stuff like that.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They do all of that.
	They do old-timey Salem.
	Because old-timey Salem blends into the Salem Witch Trials so smoothly and effortlessly.
	And then you go from that to just the whole Wicca alternate medicine, like not being spiritual but not religious kind of things and all that stuff.
	Yeah.
	You can't throw a rock about hitting seven fortune tellers slash palm readers and all that stuff.
	It's just this never-ending cycle of just, would you like something that has something vaguely to do with the occult?
	Come to Salem!
	Do you want to hear about the witches?
	Come to Salem!
	Do you want to just be weird?
	Come to Salem!
	It's just, Salem's just all about all that stuff all the time.
	Stephanie, what's your opinion of the drones?
	Well, I lived in Pennsylvania for most of my life.
	And my best ex-husband, when he and I first met, he introduced me to a magazine called Weird New Jersey.
	And the whole magazine is dedicated to abandoned places, local legends, folklore, urban legends, just myths, conspiracies, all that kind of stuff.
	Now, this magazine came out in 1989, so I want everyone to keep that as a context.
	I really haven't even read that much about it because my first thought is, it's New Jersey.
	And even if you haven't heard of Weird New Jersey, you've probably heard of the books that they do for each and every state.
	Weird California, Weird Arizona, Weird Pennsylvania.
	So...
	New Jersey has this zeitgeist of, you know how Philadelphia sports fans embrace how shitty they are?
	New Jerseyans, if that's how you say it, embrace how weird their state is because everyone was always like, oh, New Jersey, shitty, it's trash.
	And in a weird way, this whole urban exploration movement that Weird New Jersey was kind of at the start of It helped revitalize New Jersey's view in the rest of the country.
	And so you've got this population just primed, just primed for weird.
	And so, yeah, they're going to panic because New Jersey's weird.
	It seems like America loves panics.
	Yes, they definitely do.
	I was going to mention the weird New Jersey guy.
	The two guys who run it, they found a home on the Travel Channel, or what used to be the Travel Channel, doing these paranormal footage shows where people will send in, like, look, I found a I videotaped Mars for half an hour, but it's totally a UFO. And then those guys will sit there and be like, you know, this seems very credible to me because blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah, they lost all.
	Yeah, they lost it.
	They lost it.
	And I saw those last podcasts on the left, guys, on one of those paranormal shows.
	Like, just shut up.
	But New Jersey, they have a genuine history of weirdness.
	I think that's where one of the Hitler summer camps was.
	Like the Jersey Devil and things like that.
	Yeah, and a whole spate of bizarre UFO sightings and I mean, you have all the tuberculosis asylums and stuff.
	So the whole place, I mean, there's a place called Shades of Death Road.
	And my ex used to live on that road.
	So this is a weird place.
	And people are aware of that.
	And as our society as a whole becomes a macrocosm of what New Jersey's always been, the people in that You know, microcosm are going to be hyper-focused.
	So this doesn't shock me at all.
	What does shock me is that no one has been killed yet.
	Yeah, especially since there was politicians being like, shoot it.
	Shoot whatever it is.
	Shoot who's ever operating this.
	We're firing the nukes.
	They were fully just ready to start taking action.
	I can't wait to find out how Elon is involved some way and then why it's a good thing now.
	Oh, there was...
	Or Mike Flynn.
	Yeah.
	The drones explode, although he was behind that one.
	Yeah.
	I listened to a little bit of a recent Knowledge Fight episode, and Alex was trying to explain how Elon knows what the drones are, but he can't talk about it because he's in the government, and it was really weird.
	It was this very weird sort of, Elon's in on it, but don't worry about it because it's a good thing because I can't diss Elon because upsetting the president of the United States is a bad thing.
	Funny how he's all about government secrecy and how it's okay.
	When my binky is running the government, it's okay for him to hide stuff from me.
	All that good stuff.
	It is truly not great.
	But speaking of things that are not great, it's time to talk more about Pizzagate and all that fun stuff that happened there.
	Listen to the smooth segue as I guide this ship smoothly towards our destination for the evening.
	Which begins basically here with an email.
	It's an email chain, and we have John Podesta being emailed from someone named jgettleman at americanprogress.org.
	And it's the long thing.
	It was re-comment ping-pong and Obama and Podesta.
	And the gist of it is that these bunch of guys are going to have a fundraiser, an Obama fundraiser, a Comet Ping Pong on Thursday night, and then we're going to be watching the debate.
	And we're hoping that you can dip in here and hang out with us and just bro it up.
	And so...
	This email listing Comet Ping Pong as a site was pretty much what turned Comet Ping Pong into the center of the controversy, the center of the attention, where it was like, oh shit, this is where they're trafficking all the kids.
	This is Podesta and Hillary's base of operations for all of their crimes, that they're criming with the children that they're trafficking.
	And this was the email that then made James Elephantus' life a living hell because now all of these 4chan cretins started digging into Comet Ping Pong social media and into James Elephantus and they found out that he's gay, which means he's a Satanist and a bad person and evil and the devil and all that good stuff.
	Also, his partner, I believe, is the person that would find Media Matters of America for America.
	Start, you mean?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, David Brock.
	David Brock was his partner at some point.
	And yeah, he was one of the founders of Media Matters for America.
	So you had this...
	Liberal, like, intelligentsia in this area.
	And so...
	The right answer out for Media Matters.
	They've always, like, incredibly hated them, too.
	So it's just, like, perfect bait.
	Oh.
	Oh, here, fishy, fishy, fishy.
	Come here, fishy, fishy.
	So this leads to all kinds of digging into Incommon and Elephantis.
	This leads to digging into their social media pages and And there's all these photos and posts.
	One has a small child duct taped to a table.
	And the child is very happy.
	The child is obviously not under any stress at all.
	And people take this photo.
	They're like, oh, look what they're doing to this kid.
	They're torturing this poor child.
	And it's like, no, it's a smiling child who...
	Obviously was in on the joke of we're going to tie you to this table with duct tape that even a small child would be able to rip through if they were distressed.
	And I believe the girl is his goddaughter too, not some like random kid.
	Oh no, absolutely.
	I mean, I'm kidding.
	Yeah.
	So they had that, and then there's the photo of one of the freezers, and somebody looked at the freezer and made a joke about it being the kill room, and immediately everyone was like, oh shit, they're admitting it!
	This is what they do!
	Oh my god, they're...
	Taking the kids and brutally slaughtering them.
	They're so monstrous.
	I actually have that specific Instagram post up right now, and I'm looking at the comments.
	So the first one from Jimmy Comet, who, you know, James Alifontes, it says, oh yeah, this looks fun.
	And then a couple people are talking about how big it is, and then this guy says, yeah, hashtag kill room.
	And then another person says, just rinse it off when you're done.
	Then Elefante's response, hashtag murder.
	And so it just goes on from there.
	Right.
	The thing is that this freezer, what is very obviously like a freezer in the back of Comet Ping Pong, it looks like the setup of a Saw movie.
	It's not even in Comet Ping Pong.
	It was a picture he took of a walk-in cooler at a different place that he was thinking about leasing out.
	Oh, don't let facts get in the way of the story, sir.
	Don't correct me and provide evidence, because heaven forbid...
	Isn't that the first thing?
	Like...
	When you get a new car or when you're at a restaurant and a friend works, they're like, here, check out the walk-in cooler.
	It's a death joke.
	Like, oh, how many bodies would fit in the trunk of my new car?
	Or how many bodies would fit in this morgue, this walk-in cooler?
	Ooh!
	Or maybe someone makes a joke and puts a plastic head in the cooler.
	That's what we do.
	Most people go to some weird, morbid fascination.
	Maybe not most people, but...
	That's just...
	Come on.
	Like, man, I've studied serial killers.
	Man, you don't...
	You're not that obvious.
	Come on.
	Yeah, and I've worked in restaurants.
	I'm looking at this picture.
	It looks like a completely bog-standard walk-in cooler.
	There's nothing unusual about it unless you've never, ever seen one before.
	Yeah, this reminds me, and this actually made it all the way to a Jezebel article.
	There was a, going back to Salem, Massachusetts, there's a comic book store called Harrison's.
	And what happened is that Harrison's has just an abundance of collectibles.
	It's comic books and trading cards and millions and millions of miniatures and figurines and statues and huge Dungeons and Dragons sections.
	It's got so much space.
	It's so much bigger than any comic book store has any right to be.
	And one day they had an employee.
	They were bringing other prospective new employees around, giving them a tour of the back.
	And someone made a joke about how the statue room was the stat room, which then became like statutory rape, which then became the rape room.
	And then somebody got upset about that.
	And then the next thing you know, there was a story again on Jezebel about alleged rape room in Salem Comics' store.
	And no, it wasn't.
	It was a dumb joke a moron made.
	I've been to Harrison's a million times.
	I know what Harrison's is.
	It is not an underground sex trafficking operation.
	It is not the pizza gate of the East Coast.
	It's not the comics gate of the East Coast.
	But that's how these sort of things happen is someone says something stupid, someone gets offended by it, and then the outrage over the stupid thing hits a critical mass.
	And it goes from being a tasteless joke to now being you're running a human trafficking.
	And that joke died a death, apparently.
	All three of my co-hosts in stubborn silence.
	Well, I was going to say, I think Harrison's actually is a sex trafficking operation.
	Thank God you brought light to it.
	I'm just like, oh, no, I didn't mean that.
	Next thing I know, all the Harrison's employees are being arrested.
	I'm being hailed as a hero.
	You have to have your laugh button ready.
	Sorry, I'm looking at Alifantos' Instagram post, so I only had like half an ear on what you were saying.
	Oh, I'll let Mike blather.
	It's good for this show.
	He's good content.
	One thing that is, I think, important for people to understand, because if you were to, you know, Somewhat non-critically, listen to all the evidence that's presented by the people that believe in Pizzagate.
	You could start to believe it, and here's why.
	Because the evidence is suggestive and relies on patternicity.
	And that is...
	You can take some...
	If you have a preconceived notion, like Let's say cops suddenly announce, oh, we have a suspect for Zodiac, finally!
	It isn't everybody's fucking grandfather.
	And then they have that suspect because they let the evidence lead them Here, they were deciding that these people were already guilty of something.
	So all evidence, quote-unquote evidence, that's viewed after that conclusion is only going to feed the narrative.
	And then they present that evidence to you, the viewer or the listener, in such a way that is suggestive.
	Like for me, with Sandy Hook, they kept saying, listen to this guy say, read from the card.
	He was saying, should I start?
	I didn't know that.
	It's just like those stupid ghost shows with the EVP. It sounds like they're saying this, and then you hear it, and it's in your head.
	That's what they're doing with all this Pizzagate stuff.
	They're working from a false premise, from a conclusion they already had, and then they're presenting that evidence in a suggestive way to make you believe it.
	So, I mean, you want to play web sleuth?
	Play web sleuth, but do it correctly.
	Yeah, what that kind of stuff does is they condition you into believing what they're saying, because they want to prime it.
	And one of the most obvious ways of this kind of priming, this way of kind of luring you down the road and then hitting you with what they want you to believe...
	Out of Shadows, which is a Pizzagate movie that is around 90 minutes long, and they don't get to Pizzagate until well after an hour into the movie.
	It is a long time before Liz Crokin shows up and starts screaming about the Bethesda emails, because they want to hit you with all this other stuff that the government has done to make you feel like the government is nefarious, the government is evil.
	They bring up MKUltra, Operation Paperclip, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.
	They do all these things to let you know our government isn't good people.
	Our government does bad things.
	They get into a lot of censorship about how the government was really monitoring speech during World War II. And it's like, yeah, we were in a world war.
	Speech gets monitored a lot harder then because they're worried that you're sending out secret messages to fucking Hitler to help him beat us.
	So...
	They talk about all this other stuff for an hour or more, and then they bring Liz Crokin in and be like, look at these pedestrian emails!
	Oh my god, they were trafficking kids!
	And they got you juiced up for it.
	They got you hyped up for it for so long that when you actually read these boring pedestrian emails, you suddenly start freaking out and screaming.
	You're like, oh my god, she's right!
	Oh, they were trafficking kids!
	And no, no they weren't, and it's all just bullshit.
	You had a good point, too, when you brought up MKUltra and Operation Paperclip, because that's one thing they like to do is they'll bring up stuff that really happened.
	Like, MKUltra is real, though they've obviously added a lot to it.
	Operation Paperclip is real, so they'll be like, if the government can do this, then is this so far-fetched?
	Exactly.
	I remember one old-timey wrestling promoter was saying...
	One of the best things you can do when you're cutting a promo is tell the audience the truth about A and B. So when you lie to them about C and D, you've already established the truthfulness with the original facts.
	So now you can lead them down the road.
	Now you can convince them the next two things you said are also equally as valid as the first two things you said when they're not.
	They're total bullshit.
	Build trust so you can manipulate your audience.
	Got it.
	Very good.
	Yes, yes.
	It's what I like to call the Rogan, where you just spend 10 years talking about doing DTM and hyperbaric chambers, and then you suddenly just become a real big Trump bro out of nowhere.
	So weird.
	Just, I mean, that's how you do.
	I mean, my hero for that shit was Glenn Greenwald, because that prick hated George W. Bush for four years.
	And then Obama got in and he smoothly pivoted to hating Obama.
	And the next thing you know, he's just another right-wing Republican.
	But don't you dare say any of that, because by gum, I was after W back in the day.
	Yeah, I mean, he was defending, you know, neo-Nazis back in the day.
	So Glenn's an interesting fellow, third positionist type.
	Fuck him.
	Yeah.
	One of the funniest things, I don't know why, I mean, he never, I've seen him engage with so many people, but I've like thrown, I don't know what it is, but I've thrown so many punches at Glenn and never to get him to go after me, he never would.
	He obviously is like the cop from The Dark Knight who knows the difference between a punk who needs a lesson in marriage and the freak who would just enjoy it.
	Glenn just is like, yeah, you're a piece of shit.
	Yeah, I don't fucking deal with your shit.
	Mute, bam, done.
	Take care of you.
	And I deserve that.
	But a person who didn't deserve any of this is James Elefantes.
	And so the other thing that was going on was they started digging into the live musicians that were at the show.
	And I believe one of the bands was called Sex Stains or Love Stains, something like that.
	And there was one called Heavy Breathing.
	Yeah.
	Unacceptable.
	Just.
	How dare you, sir?
	How dare you book acts with provocative stage names?
	Obviously, you are running a pedophile rig.
	And this was...
	And I've had people tell me that...
	Just look at his social media posts.
	This is enough to get a warrant.
	And I'm like, it is?
	You think this passes Buster for a search of someone's property?
	Is dumb, dank memes?
	Stupid shit posts on photos?
	What here are you looking at that rises to the level of crime?
	And generally the answer is whatever I think rises to the level of crime, because...
	Well, it's also obvious that these people have never heard of gore.
	All right?
	And apparently Cradle of Filth does a magnificent circus, live circus performance on stage.
	You know, some of these bands have weird names.
	You know, there's a band called Training for Utopia.
	There's some really weird names out there.
	You will know us by the Trail of Our Dead.
	Awesome name, by the way.
	Don't know their music.
	But come on.
	So what?
	Heavy breathing.
	And also, the other thing people don't realize is that...
	Doesn't Chuck E. Cheese serve beer for the adults?
	Okay, there's a place in Disney World called Pleasure Island.
	It's all bars and every night is New Year's Eve and shit.
	There's always a little haven for adults in the middle of the family atmosphere.
	There's always going to be.
	Because the adults are funding this whole operation, so we want to get their money too for their things.
	So you have this whole specter around Comet Ping Pong that there is this child trafficking ring happening in this location.
	And this becomes the center of the whole ordeal.
	And we had talked about this a little bit previously in episode two, that People were looking into images, into art as ways of being codes for pedophilia, swirls and butterflies and hearts.
	Because there is this FBI document of some level of credibility.
	I've heard that people have confirmed it, but other people have said there's no number on this document, and every FBI document comes with numbering on it.
	But the gist of this document is that these were the symbols used by these pedophiles in this crime.
	And this got transformed into, these are universal pedophile codes.
	All pedophiles worldwide use these same images, this same art, as a way to convey their pedophilia.
	And absolutely nobody else uses those symbols for any other reason.
	No.
	That's also nice of them to just kind of put those identifiers out there for us to all know.
	Right.
	Of their crimes.
	Right, yeah, just flaunting their crimes.
	Yeah, it's like in G.I. Joe when Cobra sets up their secret base and it has a 30-foot, you know, Cobra outside of it because what's the point of having a secret base if nobody knows it's there?
	Right, exactly.
	This is like the big part of the Imitation Game, whatever the movie was where they have Alan Turing break the Enigma code.
	The whole point of that movie is after they break Enigma, they have to figure out What shit they can actually prevent by knowing it ahead of time, and what shit they have to let keep happening.
	Because if they ever let it slip, they've broken the code, the Germans will change it, and then they're going to have to break it again, and that's going to take a lot of time.
	And this is something that I've pointed out numerous times when QAnon is screaming and yelling about hearts and swirls and all this other stuff is, we've broken the pedophiles' codes.
	Why are they still using the same codes?
	Yo, Bob!
	Bob the pedophile!
	It's your buddy, Jim!
	Jim the pedophile!
	Why are we painting swirls on our pizza joint?
	Because that's how we identify as pedophiles.
	But everybody knows that, Bob!
	They're going to arrest us for our crimes now!
	Jim, us pedophiles have been using the swirl for 200 years now.
	We're not going to change anytime soon!
	This seems really stupid!
	Smash cut to them in jail a month later.
	I told you not to put the swirls on the sign!
	But what was I supposed to do?
	Like a moth to a flame, a pedophile has to paint swirls on their signs!
	It's an urge!
	An irresistible urge!
	It's so dumb.
	It's so absolutely ridiculous that this is something that people believe.
	Yet, literally, every goddamn It's like right before the US government did 9-11.
	They're like, make sure to put it on the money.
	So when people fold it into origami, they find out the secret.
	Right.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's just that whole shit.
	It's the whole predictive programming.
	It's the intergalactic contract law.
	You know what it is?
	It's fucking National Treasure.
	Too many people watch National Treasure.
	That's what it is.
	Have we done a movie night of National Treasure?
	Because I feel like we should.
	I feel like National Treasure like semi-pilled people in their way of thinking how things work.
	They did a QAA movie night episode of National Treasure, and it was pretty good.
	But yeah, and before that you had Holy Blood, Holy Grail, which was what was plagiarized by Dan Brown for Da Vinci Code.
	So you have this coming up in pop culture of all this shit.
	Yeah, I was about to bring up Da Vinci Code for that exact same reason.
	Oh, I was in on Dan Brown.
	I read a couple of his books.
	It's so funny.
	Dan Brown was like the original Twilight, where everyone was like, this guy sucks!
	And then they just bought his books and gave him millions of dollars anyways.
	It was just so funny.
	It's really funny when America just gets invested in lowbrow slop, and we have to make articles about why we hate ourselves as we engage in it.
	It's like, don't!
	Just indulge!
	Partake!
	Enjoy!
	If you want to read about some lady having kinky sex with her boss, that's great!
	Do it!
	Enjoy yourself!
	Who cares?
	Oh my god.
	But yeah, I had to read all the moralizing of, is it good that we love Dan Brown?
	And it's like, yeah, his books are fine.
	They're fine.
	Har du et enkeltpersonforetak eller en liten bedrift?

	Less more on Oral-B.no America is filled with secrets, just waiting to be unlocked, is what I...
	That's what it's all about, is just the dumb code-breaking.
	Anything you can think of will lead to the secret truth that will unlock everything.
	And we love that shit.
	It's catnip.
	It's just absolute catnip for Americans.
	We can't help ourselves.
	And...
	Then, after all of this dumb pedo-swirl bullshit and all these fake quote-unquote investigations into Comet Ping Pong, finally we had a man of action.
	Finally we had a young man stand up and say, enough of this shit.
	I'm going to go shoot that place up and save the kids.
	And that was not great because this guy actually went in the Comet Ping Pong with a gun and did some damage.
	And his name was Edgar Madison Welch.
	And Eric, what's the story of this guy?
	Because you were telling us about his very sad video about him heading the Comet Ping Pong to save the kids.
	Yeah, so...
	Yeah, I'll get to that, but let me give a little bit of backstory.
	So basically, he's some just ordinary guy from...
	I believe it's North Carolina.
	And then one day he goes on YouTube and finds a video about Pizzagate.
	And once he's done watching that video, YouTube links him to another video about Pizzagate.
	And then it links him to another video.
	And it keeps doing this.
	And he spends 36 hours radicalizing himself.
	Like, nobody put him up to it.
	That's the part that kills me.
	Nobody put him up to it.
	He wasn't You know, you didn't have some guy go, if you want to know the truth, check out this documentary.
	It was he did it to himself with the help of YouTube's algorithm, which YouTube even admitted that their algorithm did this and they made changes to it to try to cut down on the kind of extremist content that suggests to its followers.
	So he gets completely pilled.
	And decides that he's got to go and find out the truth for himself.
	And by find out the truth, he means go down there with a gun and free all them kids.
	So he goes, he calls up a bunch of his friends, and he says, hey, I'm driving up to Washington, D.C. to free some children from a pizza place.
	Do you want to come with?
	And they're all like, hell no.
	That sounds completely insane.
	And he's like, oh, well, I'll catch you guys on the flip side when I'm famous for saving all these children.
	And then he hops in his car.
	He brought a rifle, an AR-15 style assault rifle and a handgun.
	And as he's driving up, he has this emotional moment where he turns on his camera on his phone and delivers this soulful message to his two daughters explaining that he's doing this for them.
	He's, you know, he can't believe that he lives in a world of such evil that something like this could happen, and he hopes that, you know, he can create a better world for these two girls, and he's doing it all for them.
	And then he signs off.
	A few hours later, it takes him, I think, like six hours to drive up to Washington, D.C., and he manages to keep a full head of steam going the whole time, which is impressive, because I think I would have gotten, I think after about an hour, I would have been like, why am I doing this?
	But this guy had totally pilled himself.
	He gets up there, and he calls his girlfriend and explains that he's about to go into common ping pong to do some investigating.
	And this was something that always stuck with him.
	This is from an article I read shortly after it, and I still remember it.
	She says, don't do anything stupid before she hangs up with him.
	So he agrees that he won't do anything stupid, hangs up, grabs his rifle, and Storms in there and basically scares the living daylights out of everybody there, fires off a couple shots.
	The employees wisely get everybody out of there while he's ranting and raving and looking around, trying to find the basement to a place that doesn't have a basement.
	At one point, he spots a door behind a counter and tells one of the employees to let him in there.
	They refuse.
	So he shoots off the lock, kicks it open, and finds out that he just shot the restaurant's computer server.
	And he rifles around there for a little while longer, finds nothing, and surrenders himself to the police shortly thereafter.
	Conspiracy theorists have talked about how him shooting that computer server was actually part of the plot to destroy the evidence of their crimes, and that he was in on the whole thing as an MKUltraFalse-like deep state sleeper.
	Because if I was running an underground human trafficking ring, I would totally put it on a public server that anybody could walk up to.
	Yep.
	Classic, oops, our terrorism inspired a terrorism, and now we're going to throw the guy under the bus and pretend we don't know him.
	Yes, exactly, exactly.
	Yeah, this poor bastard shoots up Comet Ping Pong, having been radicalized by all these people who've been brain poisoning him for the past forever about all this nonsense.
	And finally someone nuts up and tries to actually save the kids.
	And the response from all these conspiracy theorists is abject panic and terror.
	And I don't know what you're talking about.
	I've never promoted Pizzagate.
	I don't even know what Pizzagate is.
	And you then get all this massive backpedaling from the whole ordeal.
	Now this did, this also happened after Trump won, right?
	So the whole point of Pizzagate was kind of, it had already served its purpose as a way to, as a further smear against Hillary Clinton.
	So none of these people actually gave a shit about pizza, about Comet Ping-Bomb or any of this crap.
	Yeah.
	It's like how, I mean, I know some people are still like, ah, we gotta get Hunter Biden!
	It's like, calm down, guys.
	No one cares.
	It's over.
	You've won.
	Just spike the football and go home.
	You don't have to do this shit.
	So you start having all this backpedaling away from Comet Ping Pong being the whole point of this thing.
	I just looked it up.
	The date of the shooting was Sunday, December 4th, 2016. So yeah, it was after the election, but before Trump was actually in office.
	Yeah.
	So Trump couldn't pardon him.
	That was the big problem.
	They were like, damn it, our beloved freedom fighter hero who was trying to save the kids.
	That would be great.
	If only Pizzagate had been as organized as QAnon, we would have had people holding up signs like, Free our moron buddy!
	Free Welsh!
	In case anyone tries to fact check me later, he actually had three firearms.
	I said he had two earlier.
	He had the assault rifle and two handguns.
	Man, that guy was going to free a lot of kids.
	A lot of kids were going to be freed under his watch.
	Because after he empties the AR-15 and he empties the first gun, you're like, ah, he's out.
	Then he pulls out the second gun.
	You're like, oh, no, third gun.
	And that's all over.
	I remember this guy.
	I was working security at a hospital, unarmed, just like a slob.
	Literally, my favorite part of my uniform was they gave us a clip-on tie because you weren't allowed to wear a real tie.
	Because if a lunatic hospital patient grabbed your tie and was jerking you with it, they could get into trouble.
	So...
	Part of the actual clip-on tie was part of the uniform.
	And I just remember this guy talking to me.
	He's like, oh yeah, I'm security for this company.
	And he was talking about how he had like eight guns on his person.
	And I was like, no you don't.
	You're mentally ill.
	You just have more magazines to reload with.
	You wouldn't be like, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam.
	Drop two guns.
	Pull two more guns out from your belt.
	Continue firing.
	And I just was like, I'm going to humor this guy because if I don't, it could end really poorly for me.
	Because obviously this man really loves guns.
	Or he really loves the Matrix and he's picturing the lobby scene where Neo empties out two guns and then drops them and pulls two more out from his belt.
	Yes!
	Yeah, this guy's part of Matrix security.
	Yeah, he's like jumping up and running along a wall sideways while just emptying two clips, dropping those guns and pulling two more guns out.
	Yeah.
	Wild techno music players in the background that only he can hear.
	So beautiful.
	That'd be great.
	Question.
	The Pizzagate shooter, the Welch, he served his time.
	What's he up to now?
	Any updates on what he's up to?
	Is he behaving?
	Is he still pilled?
	Is he reformed?
	Is he anything?
	Does anyone know anything about this guy?
	I looked around.
	I couldn't find anything.
	It seems like he got out of jail and said, I'm going to be a good boy now and kept himself out of the news.
	He didn't go Q-Shaman.
	He didn't try to run for Congress ineffectually.
	He didn't do a Twitter space with the Krasensteins where they just let him lie his ass off in front of them.
	I guess all the right-wingers were like, no, we never talked about Pizzagate.
	They didn't want to make this guy into a celebrity.
	Jack Posobiec, you know, pretends he never was involved in everything we talked about last week, so it's like he's not going to bring this guy to AmericaFest, you know?
	It's just cold.
	That is just cold.
	It's mean of you.
	It's absolutely mean.
	You should have totally 100% of...
	Back your boy.
	I don't know why you didn't.
	I feel cheated.
	And what Haley was saying there is also a big part of what happened to Pizzagate after the shooting, where the people that were promoting it, the biggest Pizzagate promoter around there right now is Liz Crokin, because she's the one that won't let Pizzagate go.
	It's...
	Whereas the QAnon people continue to research the Q-drops, even though there haven't been new Q-drops in two years, and even those drops, the two-year-old drops or the Jim drops, which are a joke.
	The real Q-drops died in 2020. But Liz Crogan is the one who's still pouring over the Podesta emails, still trying to crack the codes inside them.
	And what's really funny is that even she, in Out of Shadows, when she's talking about what happened and what happened with Common Ping Pong, She declared that Comet Ping Pong was...
	It wasn't a smoking gun, but there's a series of tiny smoking guns, which was the worst analogy I could possibly imagine.
	I'm just imagining just an endless series of toy guns just smoking, and you're just like, man, if only I could combine these guns into one large smoking gun, then I would have some evidence.
	And...
	It's in this moment that she pivots to Nexium and Epstein and basically any other sex trafficking case that has legitimacy around it.
	Because as we said earlier, it's why you bring up MKUltra and Operation Paperclip, because those are real things and they build your legitimacy so you can start lying after you've said the real things.
	And so now you're just doing that again, where you take real sex cults like NXIVM and real sex trafficking like Epstein, and then you just add Common Ping Pong on top of it and pretend that the third thing is just as bad as the first two, when they have nothing to do with each other and there was nothing going on at Common Ping Pong.
	It was just all bullshit you made up to rile people up and get them upset.
	And it's exploitive, which I said in the first episode, too, because...
	And there have been multiple reports that have mentioned this, that when Pizzagate stuff started and when we saw the resurgence with QAnon during the lockdowns, all of these, like, helplines for, you know, helplines, tip lines were jammed.
	And people with legitimate issues, they needed help.
	For a missing child or, you know, they had a tip to report on a crime.
	They couldn't get through because all of these idiots were telling them to, you know, investigate Podesta.
	And you have to look at the butterfly effect of that.
	If one of those phone calls had gotten through, could that child have been saved?
	You know, and on and on and on and on.
	And if you really do want to be helpful in anything, No, you don't have to be a cop to solve a crime.
	You don't have to be a social worker to help someone.
	But make sure that you let people know, oh, I'm doing this web sleuthing, or I'm doing this online project to help people or something.
	But you make sure that people know you're not an expert, but you make damn sure to immerse yourself in that world as much as possible.
	You can't just...
	It's just...
	These people, they say they're trying to help people, but they're hurting people.
	And it sickens me.
	It just grosses me out to no end.
	They say they're trying to help people, but it's more to boost their own clout in cases like Jack Posobiec or like the Tim Ballard guy.
	You know, he built a whole career off of this, like, I'm rescuing children.
	Meanwhile, he himself is a fucking creep.
	And it wasn't about helping children.
	It was just about boosting his celebrity within the right-wing sphere.
	Which is gross.
	That's a gross thing to take advantage of.
	Yeah, you make yourself the hero of this really important situation, and it's about the children.
	It's about actually helping and protecting the children.
	Which is something I'm bringing up constantly right now because now they're about to release this report on Matt Gaetz and all these QAnon people are saying, they're trying to fuck with Matt Gaetz.
	This is bullshit.
	I stand with Matt Gaetz.
	They should make Matt Gaetz the Speaker of the House.
	And I'm just looking at them saying, I thought you wanted to save the children.
	I thought that you guys were all about protecting kids.
	And now we're about to get this report of this guy credibly accused of having sex with underage women.
	And your only response is to defend him.
	Defend the guy that's credibly accused of having sex with underage women.
	That's really strange for people that claim to be all about saving the children because you're not.
	You're just about hating liberals and calling liberals pedophiles.
	And when your team has a guy that is obviously a pederast, suddenly that's bullshit.
	No, those charges don't stick.
	Matt Gaetz is a great man.
	How dare you?
	How dare you, sir?
	It's so ridiculous that this is where we are, where They could drop Matt Gaetz immediately and just be rid of him.
	But no, they won't because he's one of their boys.
	He's one of their heroes.
	So they're going to defend him no matter what, no matter how terrible the allegations are against him.
	And the people that crow the loudest about saving the children are almost a lot of times you see them later on ending up getting busted for...
	Okay, I was going to bring up like...
	You know, there's like this whole section of the internet of like guys, right-wing guys, who pretend to do pedo hunting, you know?
	Like vigilante, like baiting, seemingly mostly mentally ill people, and pretending that they're like, you know, rescuing children.
	And there is one in particular...
	That, like, is a creep himself and, like, is associated with neo-Nazis.
	And, like, yeah, some of these guys seem to use this, like, we're rescuing children as a shield of their own disgusting bullshit.
	Don't go down the pedo-hunter right-wing YouTube guy path.
	It's the worst shit you'll ever...
	It's, like, the second worst shit you'll ever see on the internet.
	Yeah.
	And they're objectively bad people, too.
	I won't say his name, but there's this one guy who some mutuals of mine on Twitter have been watching for a while, and he's just like that.
	He's always talking about how he's trying to save these kids from trafficking in Mexico and stuff, and he's just completely bonkers.
	He was doing this live stream at one point, and he said that And he was saying that I, like me personally, I was at January 6th, and he knows this because he saw me there and cracked me on the head with a club.
	It's just insane.
	That's awesome.
	For the record, I was at home on January 6th watching It Happened on TV. Yeah, I was too, even though I wanted to go, but Elle talked me out of it.
	We were all aware that January 6th was going to happen, correct?
	I didn't know that idiots were going to try to invade the Capitol, but yeah, I spent pretty much the entire month of December on Twitter telling people, do not go to the Capitol on January 6th because there's going to be some violent crazies down there and you don't want to get caught up in whatever they're going to do.
	I just think it's so funny when normie, like just researchers understood what was going to happen.
	And then you'll talk to a journal, like a professional journalist.
	And they, they were just completely unaware that that was, that they were openly plotting, you know.
	There were already violent protests all over the country over Biden's win, which is what, which is why I said, no, this is, this is not going to be safe.
	And I mean, they put fencing around the White House.
	How could reporters not have thought anything was going to happen?
	It's ridiculous.
	Yeah, that was a pretty spicy meatball.
	And now we're in spicy meatball part two, the Musk residency.
	Truly.
	I'm sorry, but before we move on to another point, I did find an article from the Seattle Times about Welch after he got out.
	So I just wanted to give a quick update since...
	Since Haley was asking about it.
	So it looks like it was pretty much just what I said.
	He got out and he's just trying to lay low.
	From the article, the girlfriend that he was talking to before he went in, they're married now and they have at least one kid together.
	He never talks to anybody about any of it.
	Apparently all his friends are too afraid to ask him if he still believes in all that stuff or not.
	And I think I noticed one reason Mentioned in the article.
	Well, they don't explicitly say it, but they point out that three days before his release from the halfway house he was in was when George Floyd got killed.
	So that kind of would have buried any story about him getting out.
	So that's probably why nobody heard about it when he got out of, you know, the halfway house.
	But so, yeah, it's pretty much just what I guessed.
	He's been laying low and trying to be a good boy and not cause any more trouble for anybody.
	I hope that's true, and he just knocks it the fuck off and isn't, like, secretly part of, like, Atomwaffen or something right now.
	But, yeah, that'd be awesome if he's just, like, a normal guy and was just like, oh, remember when I wilded out and shot him a pizza joint because I believed that there was children down there?
	We don't talk about that.
	Man, that was a mistake.
	Won't do that again.
	Holy smokes.
	Boy.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, the mistakes of youth.
	Oh, the mistakes of youth.
	Like, it's like, that's the fucking Matt Gaetz whole thing, where he's like, in my 30s, I partied hard.
	And also paid 17-year-olds for sex.
	I know, I love all those, like, I believe it was Chip Roy was saying, you know, we've all had youthful indiscretions.
	And I'm like, yes, I mean, let the first person who did not pay for sex with another age girl on Venmo cast the first stone.
	Right!
	Guys, come on!
	Who among us?
	Who among us?
	Oh, boy.
	Uh, the, the last thing I was going to bring up in this week was, um, we've been taught, we were talking about symbols and all that good stuff.
	So one of the big things in this whole ordeal, and if we had someone covered this in the first two episodes, just tackle me and we'll all stop.
	But, um, The idea of Frazzledrip, the fact that there was this horrifying thing on Wiener's laptop that the FBI had confiscated, and that all these New York police officers had killed themselves after seeing it, because it was the most devastating, horrible video the world had ever seen.
	And so you had this running narrative that there was this...
	Incondrovertible piece of evidence of Hillary Clinton committing this inhumanly brutal murder.
	And for a while, it was just kind of like, you just don't want to know.
	But because these are all campfire stories, people have got to spell out the campfire story.
	They got to tell you what sort of terrible thing happened on the video.
	And...
	What Frazzledrip ended up, the lore ended up confirming it to be, is that it was a video of Hillary with a doctor and Huma Abedin, and they mutilate this little girl.
	Just for a little background, Huma Abedin was Anthony Weiner's wife at the time.
	Right.
	And they're both bigwigs in the Democrat Party.
	And she was Hillary's aide.
	And because this is the Republican Party, they would claim that Hillary and Humer were lesbians that were in a relationship with each other behind Bill and Anthony's backs.
	Or maybe they enjoyed it because Democrats are creepy pervs.
	And didn't Wiener or Weiner, whatever his name is, didn't he get busted for underage sexting or something so that only fueled it?
	The laptop was confiscated as evidence of the sexting of the child with the underage woman, much like Matt Gaetz.
	And what you just said actually unlocked more information that I can talk about now.
	So thank you for patting the runtime of this episode.
	Yeah, new content unlocked.
	Bonus episode for $5.
	Hits button locks out.
	You hit an actual podcast paywall where you have to Venmo me $5 to continue the pod.
	Breaking new ground in microtransactions.
	Oh, it'd be so good.
	Um...
	But what that led to, what Steph actually just brought up is one of the right-wing and QAnon's favorite graphics online is this, you'll see it, it'll just say, contents of Wiener Laptop.
	And it will say Clinton Foundation, and then below that it will say Crimes Against Children.
	And QAnon and Fox News would then take a big circle and circle those two things to try to link them in your mind as being connected to each other.
	When they were not, it was just literally an FBI agent saying, what have I found on this laptop?
	One, stuff from the Clinton Foundation.
	Two, the sex thing with the underage woman, the crime against children.
	Three, spaghetti recipes.
	And that was the thing.
	It was a list.
	It wasn't things that were connected to each other in any way, shape, or form.
	But these people loved using that list as a way to link the Clinton Foundation to quote-unquote crimes against children.
	And that was the bullshit that QAnon ran with forever.
	You will see that graphic still out in the wild to this day.
	They will never stop beating that dead horse into the ground and they will never stop lying about what that graphic actually says.
	Because I've pointed out to Liz many times what that graphic actually means.
	She still reposts it.
	She doesn't care.
	None of these people actually care about getting actual facts to rebut their bullshit.
	And...
	Then on top of that came Frazzledrip, which is the idea that these FBI people or these New York police are going through the laptop and they're finding all the bad stuff, and then they find this folder called Frazzledrip and they click on it.
	And, oh, God, it's the most brutal, horrible, mutilating.
	So, again, Hilary, Huma, the doctor.
	Hilary, they flay the girl's face off.
	Hilary wears the face.
	The doctor then executes the child, gets the fear-infused blood and the louche flowing.
	And then Huma and Hilary, like vampires, drink the blood to get their louche, their adrenochrome.
	It's great.
	And Stephanie and me were mentioning this.
	The folder...
	That the frazzledrip was supposedly found in was called life insurance.
	As in the only reason he had it there was that in case Hillary or whomever tried to unwife him, he was like, nope, I got the goods.
	Right.
	I can take you down if you try to do this to me.
	Go ahead, Jaylee.
	You forgot a very crucial step in the Frazzledrip history, the lore, is that after all that, then Hollywood put in clues that it's true, just like we've been talking about throughout this whole episode, because Wilson, Wilson is proof of Frazzledrip.
	Yeah, so the red smear on Wilson in Cast Away the Volleyball is Frazzledrip.
	There is this very expensive hoodie that was worn by Ellen DeGeneres, and I believe maybe also Jay-Z, and it has this art of a red face on the hoodie, and that was also Frazzledrip-inspired art, according to these people.
	Uh, there's, uh, Lady Gaga had this all-red outfit that included, like, a mask that covered her face, and, like, the headpiece, like, had a long, like, it wasn't even, like, a hat.
	It was just this long extension of red coming off of her head, and her whole body was covered in red, and that was also a frazzle drip clue.
	And, uh, Drifters will post photos of all these things and say stuff like, you don't even want to know what this means.
	There's this one picture that I see every now and then that people claim is the only known screenshot from Frazzledrip, which is very staticky and blurry, like Bigfoot footage.
	it's what appears to be a woman wearing a mask and making the shush gesture with her finger.
	And they're like, you know, this is Huma Abedin when she's wearing the girl's face on her.
	And some internet sleuths actually tracked down and found the actual picture.
	It was like from an advertisement for like a Thai restaurant.
	And it's just a woman wearing like one of those low res, low poly res masks.
	And then they took it, and they blurted it up, and they fuzzed it out so you couldn't really tell what it was.
	So they'd be like, yes, no, this is a woman wearing a little girl's face.
	Like she's in Con Air with Steve Buscemi or something.
	I believe that...
	I don't know them, but you all do.
	The dapper...
	Yep.
	Yeah.
	Has, like, an ongoing list of, like, fake, frazzled drip examples.
	And some of them are so funny.
	Others, like, this person on Etsy that sells, like, clothes that look like skin tied together.
	Like, hats and stuff.
	And that is one of them that, like, goes around.
	I would honestly, yeah, I would rock it.
	It looks fucking dope.
	Oh, the person I'm talking about is, what is it, Feminist Dapper Gander?
	Is that their fucking name?
	Feminist Propaganda is the name.
	Dapper Gander is their name.
	Dapper, yeah.
	Yeah.
	QAnon Researcher has a sub stack.
	Everybody follow.
	Yeah.
	They actually hosted me.
	I actually went over to their house.
	Me and Abby, the TikTok debunker lady, me and Abby actually were hosted by Dapper at his home.
	And we had a good time.
	And then a couple, like a month later, I got this letter in the mail saying I couldn't get within five miles of his house again.
	Or else it was curtains for me.
	Yeah.
	This happens to me a lot.
	I appear to be socially very inept.
	But one of the things that came out in this is there's another thing where it's like a photo of A person under a TV. There's a mirror behind them.
	They're in what would be the current parlance.
	They're in the cuck chair looking at a bed.
	And basically these people blur all this information out to try to make it look spooky.
	But if you actually find the source material, it's just a person in an empty room.
	There's nothing on the bed.
	It's just a normal room.
	It's just like a normal room.
	The guy in the couch chair is waiting for the bull and the woman to come in.
	There's nothing going on.
	It's incredibly...
	It's unnecessary censorship.
	It's like the ad that...
	I don't know if the ad was run by the porn companies, but it was basically a pro-democratic ad where this lady is on top of a guy and they're having sex and the condom breaks.
	And then the guy like runs into the bathroom to try to figure out what to do.
	And then he runs into a Republican congressman who's just like, yes, she's having that baby.
	It's just the way it is now under our rule.
	And these right-wing grifters would like post like fake pixelation on the woman And they're like, this is the ad!
	The Democrats are airing!
	And the woman in the ad is wearing a bra.
	She's not topless.
	But they put fake pixelation on it to make you think she's naked when she's not.
	And...
	That's what they're doing in this photo is they got all this stuff like blacked out so you can't see the horrible truth.
	And then when you actually see the actual content, there's nothing there.
	There's nothing to black out.
	It's all just fucking faked.
	And one of the other photos is of an actual murder victim.
	I forget her name, but I went and I looked up the actual real photo of her.
	And she was brutally murdered.
	I think it was in a South American country, maybe.
	And her face was split open.
	And so they use this picture of an actual real murder victim and say, Oh, this is a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	I don't know if you're talking about the same one that I'm about to talk about, because what I'm about to talk about is the CD cover.
	Is that one from the CD cover or not?
	Do you know that or not, Steph?
	It might be repurposed for the album.
	I'm just curious, though, how...
	Pinnekjøtt, det er jo liksom selve julemiddagen for veldig mange.
	Ja, og nå får du urøkt pinnekjøtt fra Nordfjord til 249,90 per kilo.
	Og 600 gram ferdig prepp av koldrådslappe til 24,90.
	For det er sluttsummen på julekosen.
	Og kassaloppen som teller.
	Hos Rema 1000. Alt i lavepriser.
	Velkommen til høvleriet, eik og list.
	Tast en for å tale med selger.
	To for høvleriet.
	Og tre for...
	To.
	To, ja.
	Nei, jeg trodde jeg skulle klare å kine tona på tala, skjønner du?
	Ja, ja.
	Nei, men du skal uansett tale med meg, du, så det, ja.
	Proffa blitt med Eisbedrift.
	God dekning, sentralboløsning og tastevalg til en hyggelig pris.
	Så høvleriet Eikolist.
	Prøv Eisbedrift.
	Unless the photo is in, like, the public domain or the body that, you know, the actual person, killed person, was abandoned and never, their body was never claimed.
	Like, how do you get away with that?
	I don't know.
	Like, the Slayer album that supposedly has Kurt Cobain in it.
	So this, the album I'm talking about, Eric was nodding his head vigorously, showing that we're all broken, horrible monsters at this point, where the idea that, like, I'm about to talk about this brutal photo, and this guy's like, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
	I, too, am a connoisseur of gore, of the highest, most depraved kind.
	Oh, 78, a classic.
	Oh, that woman was thrown through a wood chipper.
	Oh, it was so dreadful.
	Oh, but what I'm talking about is people will post this photo, which is actually the album cover of a band called Abnegation, and the CD is called Verses of the Bleeding.
	And the backstory is that the woman was mauled by a pit bull, and this was back when people would just post fucking anything on a CD cover to just shock and offend people and get you to look at it.
	And it's super gruesome, and in our show notes...
	We have like a 32-page show note.
	I've gone from the seat of my pants riffing to now being Alex Jones with stackies.
	I've now got my stackies that I'm going through.
	I've got so much content to talk about.
	The four-hour show goes by so fast.
	I'm doing such a terrible job.
	As anyone who's listening to Knowledge Fight knows exactly what I'm riffing on.
	But anyways, the point is that this is not Frazzle Drip.
	This is not from the Hillary face carving video.
	It's from some other event that was a brutally traumatic and violent situation.
	And I've actually seen people go full time traveler on this shit and be like, I wouldn't put it past them to put that on the CD cover to try to take us off the set, try to make us think this isn't what it is, but it is what it is, because it is what it is.
	And it's just...
	Oh God, guys.
	Oh God.
	It's not that.
	It's neither here nor there.
	This is just gore porn that was put on a CD cover to try to get eyeballs on the album, and that was all it was.
	It was not a secret hint as to this is where the Democrats slaughter their victims and videotape it, because that's what you do when you commit mass murder.
	You leave a paper trail so you can be indicted and convicted for your crimes.
	And I mean, like, if you're at all into the metal scene, especially from that time period, it was...
	Not unusual at all to have incredibly, horribly gory images splashed across album covers.
	It's not like this is some standalone example.
	This is pretty pedestrian for that time period.
	You think abnegated?
	This album cover has an actually decapitated fetus on it.
	How do you like them apples?
	Eventually, the metal CD cover wars crossed a line at some point, and then everyone was like, maybe we should stop doing this.
	Maybe we should stop.
	I think it was around the time they started burning churches in Norway that they were like, okay, you might have taken this too far.
	I'm here for that.
	I'm here for the crossing the line of the actual church burnings.
	I like that your kid thought that was hilarious.
	Your kid is like, yes, burn the churches!
	Hail Satan!
	And Eric's just like, that's my boy!
	Yes!
	First he's protesting the Christmas pageant.
	He won't participate as a reindeer, and the next thing he's burning churches.
	That's right.
	He's not going to let the man tell him what to do.
	No.
	No way, no how.
	Yeah, so we did it.
	We got to an hour and 15 minutes.
	We won.
	Congratulations to us.
	And next week, you've probably been wondering to yourself, where the fuck are the emails in this goddamn podcast series?
	Well, dear listeners, don't worry, because next week...
	The emails cometh.
	The incredibly boring, the incredibly pedestrian, the incredibly uninteresting emails will be read to you, and you will try to not pass out from boredom, because there's nothing fucking in them.
	It sucks.
	That's right.
	Handkerchiefs will be left on kitchen counters and other exciting revelations.
	Yep.
	Go ahead, Steph.
	If you don't know what I mean by that, you will after next week.
	Yep.
	I just wanted to say, if anyone's made it this far, because most people usually shut off at the end, next week.
	We're not sure of the day or exact time yet, but I'm going to be streaming with Into the Stuniverse, and we're going to be discussing Art Bell, and I'm going to be kind of the main host.
	Which would be a good listen because if you're into conspiracies, Art Bell is definitely a classic.
	He's the guy who got me into all this.
	Mike, do you have something to tell the listeners?
	Am I supposed to have something to tell the listeners?
	I feel like I'm being goaded here.
	That you're now putting the show on a different day.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	The show's getting posted on Sundays because...
	You've been noticing that, if you've been listening, that we've been posting the show on Sundays.
	It's my fault.
	It's not really Eric's fault.
	It's just the fact that all of our schedules are Wumble Jumbles.
	So sometimes we record on Wednesday and sometimes we record on Thursday.
	And if we record on Wednesday, I'm free on Thursday so I can edit and post on Thursday.
	But if we record on Thursday, I'm screwed because I... Have situated myself such that my work is four 10-hour shifts.
	So on the days that I'm working, I'm working.
	And that's basically it.
	I get up, I run to the casino, I glad handle with people as we rob them of their money.
	I go home, I go to bed, and repeat that process until I get a day off, which I've staggered.
	So it's basically, I get a...
	My hump day is a day off, which is awesome.
	So...
	I'm always free on Sunday to edit and post the pod.
	So that's when the pod will be going up from now on is on Sundays, probably in the early afternoon to evening.
	And so that's where you'll be getting your content from us for the foreseeable future.
	Any other things I need to be urged into doing, Haley?
	Chaley?
	Oh, I don't know.
	I thought we were supposed to announce that to the audience.
	I'm just going to ramble real quick because it's AmericaFest this weekend and it starts in about an hour and a half and By the time this episode comes out, AmericaFest will be ending, and it's the four-day Turning Point USA conference, and I'm going to go completely mad.
	Maybe we'll do a bonus episode to talk about it, because I'm sure there'll be so much that happens there.
	This is going to be the fourth year.
	If anybody wants to talk about it, feel free to...
	I'm here.
	I'm here with bells on.
	You don't have to twist my arm.
	I might have some input depending on what we experience while we're up there.
	Since this is coming out after America Fest, My boyfriend and I have plans to go visit Haley.
	And he makes this hotel reservation.
	I send the address to Haley.
	She goes, oh, that's right in the middle of America Fest.
	I'm like, do what now?
	I'm like, what?
	And I've never been in the middle of like a big hostile thing like this.
	Like once before when I had to go to Tombstone, but I was like, protect it because I was there with a celebrity.
	And like, but it was terrifying.
	It was terrifying.
	And I'm a pussy.
	I'm a giant pussy.
	So I'm a little scared.
	But I'm looking forward to seeing Haley.
	And I have gifts for her.
	I have something for you too.
	We'll have to go a little...
	We'll have to hang a little outside the area so I'm not like...
	If you get caught around me, some people will be like, who the fuck are you?
	So we'll figure it out.
	This is normal life.
	Just show off some of your tattoos.
	I think it'll like...
	The Bohemian Grove one.
	They'll really love the...
	And they'll love that I have the Ralph Wiggum I'm a Civil War sticker on my little backpack.
	Tell them you're the only woman who's ever been to Bohemian Grove.
	You'll be famous instantly.
	So funny.
	Oh, he'll probably be there.
	You might see him wandering around.
	So, anyhow, next week, get ready.
	Get ready for boring emails.
	Get ready for all kinds of just absolutely useless nonsense.
	And get ready to ask yourself, how the fuck did these emails lead to this bullshit?
	How is this even possible?
	Because you and your listener are about to hear some stuff that has nothing to do with stuff.
	But boy, howdy, did these people make it about stuff.
	It's literally the video of the woman watching in horror as the guy says, The circle goes in the square hole.
	And then just repeats that process for every other piece in the puzzle.
	Because, yep, this is just making shit up to get yourself upset.
	That's all the Podesta's emails are.
	And, yeah, it's going to be great.
	So, thank you for listening.
	Boy, howdy.
	Thank you for hanging out.
	Shout out to our new beautiful baby who pledged $2, which is Mel K. Appreciate you so much for that.
	Haley did a slapstick-like reaction.
	Like, she couldn't believe some idiot actually broke out two big, crisp dollar bills for the pod.
	The email...
	What'd you say?
	The Mel K? Is that what their name was?
	Mel K? No, again, Mel K. By the way, do you call that $2 tier the Go Ad Free tier?
	Are you sure that's not like a joke name, like MKUltra?
	I know who it is.
	It's not a joke name.
	Okay, because that's what I would do.
	Nope.
	I knew exactly what was going on, so I am going to aggressively just crush your prompt.
	I am going to no-end you viciously and just be the worst possible stage partner you could ever imagine.
	Just arms crossed, cold indifference, just nope.
	I love it.
	Give me more.
	Give me more.
	Nope.
	So, anyhow, thanks, Mel K. Thank you.
	Your name is real.
	I know who you are.
	I appreciate you.
	And beyond all that, other people, if you enjoy the show, give us a five-star review.
	Tell your friends.
	Tell your family.
	Tell people that think Pizzagate is real to listen to us because we're going to crush this.
	And when those people are like, man, they're hiding the emails from us, they must know they're bad.
	It just sinks because, holy shit, are these emails nothing.
	It's going to break their little hearts.
	It's going to be like that guy that went to Antarctica and saw the 24-hour sun and then had to do an interview.
	He'll talk to the camera like, yep, sun was out for 24 hours.
	I'm going to have to remodel my model of flat Earth because this looks bad for me.
	And then all of his fellow flurfs were like, you're a sellout, you fucking.
	Piece of shit.
	You really didn't go to Antarctica.
	It was a green screen.
	Flat Earth community is in a bad way right now.
	If you know any Flat Earths, talk to them.
	Pull them tight to your bosom.
	Let them know that you're there for them and that the Earth is actually round.
	The person that's going to sing the national anthem at AmericaFest is a flat earther.
	He's one of those like RFK hanger-ons and he's a flat earther Christian singer.
	When you said the person, I was so hoping it was going to turn out to be a trans person.
	Has this person had any reaction to the final experiment?
	I don't know.
	I think they're just excited that they get to be at AmericaFest so they're a bit distracted right now.
	I'll check their socials.
	Yeah, if you see their socials, send them a link to the 24-hour sun time-lapse and be like, hey, buddy, what's all this about?
	Does this put a little dent in your worldview?
	Goddamn, our show now being a deep-dive show and on a weekly news show.
	We would have talked about Flirt for 90 minutes.
	It would have been absolute banana stickers.
	Hey, if Flat Earth is real, then explain the movie 30 Days of Night.
	You can't.
	Boom!
	Okay.
	If you want to support the show by giving us money, go to patreon.com slash pokerpolitics for $2.
	You can liberate yourself from ads.
	Ads that I stick in the show every here and there because I feel really weird about pivoting to ad breaks.
	So I just find pauses where we're weirdly silent and then I just stick the ad in there.
	So be ready to deal with unsettling ads attacking you at random times and liberate yourself from them by giving us two bucks, you skinflints, you tightwads, you cheapskates.
	We're giving you so much and we ask so little.
	This is an unbelievably weirdly impassioned plea for two bucks.
	It's really unbecoming on me.
	I'm ashamed of myself.
	Yeah, just begging like red stew.
	Dr. Jones Naturals.
	Look, it's up to you.
	It's up to God, but it's more up to you, because you are God's will.
	And if you want to keep me on the air, you'll go to Dr. Jones Naturals and give me lots of money for tick pills.
	And if you don't, well, then I guess God wanted me off the air and wanted the Globals to win.
	So that's on you, motherfucker.
	That's on you.
	You're the reason why we lost.
	That's why you're in a FEMA camp now.
	That would be what I would say if I was Alex Jones and a monster who's using emotional manipulation to try to extort you into giving me money.
	Instead, I'll just shill like an idiot.
	And if you don't give me money, the world won't really change that much because I'm really a nobody.
	Don't worry about it.
	It's no big deal.
	You'll just get hit with ads.
	Annoying ads.
	And if you do want to give someone money, not me, thank God, please don't, go to love146.org and fight human trafficking by giving people who actually fight human trafficking money instead of being a QAnon idiot who ties up phone lines and denies their ability to actually receive those tips.
	You can find Chaley on all social medias with the Arizona Right Watch, AZ underscore RW, and she just randomly blinked out of her webcam, so I don't know what happened there.
	Are you on Blue Sky, Steph?
	Yeah, you are.
	Steph's on Blue Sky.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Doubt is the way out, I think, is my handle.
	Yep.
	Yes.
	And Eric, are you on Blue Sky also?
	Have you also made the switch?
	Yeah, I wouldn't say I've made the switch, but I joined Blue Sky back when it was still, like, invite-only.
	Oh, you joined Blue Sky back in furry days?
	Back in the days when it was literally just nothing but furries?
	Yeah, which is why I haven't been on there much.
	But yeah, it's the same at as Twitter, not Badger's.
	Not Badgers at Twitter and Blue Sky.
	All that good stuff.
	You can find us at all those places.
	You can find me at Poker Politics on both spots.
	And I have a big thread up right now about how all right-wing subcultures are about making you miserable and just trapping you in a cycle of despair.
	And people have said it's a good thread.
	So I feel like a proud, happy little child that's getting my hair tussled and my cheeks pinched by my audience.
	And I appreciate that very much.
	So for everyone who listens to all of this, God help you for doing so.
	We will catch you next week.
	Good speed, patriots!
