Oh
Endelig uforstyrret fred.
Avkommet.
For å være påkoblet det som betyr nå.
Hold med elektro.
Ja, ja, det kan vi hjelpe deg med.
Hvis du setter på ikke forstyrr da.
For ice-dekning er det jo her også.
It's a little bit of a mess.
bit of a mess.
bit of a mess.
Hello, everybody.
I am Mike Raines, a.k.a.
Poker and Politics, and Riverside has done it again with the content warning bump, so it's not going to be a part of the show much longer, it appears.
Content warning, everybody.
Content warning, everybody, but this week we're going to be talking about George Floyd.
So get ready, racism warning.
Lots of racist people being terribly racist, not great, actually very bad.
And obviously we're going to be talking about the death of at least one person.
Yes, yes.
Lots of bad stuff, not good things.
We'll try to make it as light and fluffy as possible, but the subject matter, not light nor fluffy.
You already heard them.
It's Chaley.
She's here.
Hello, everybody.
Also here.
You can't keep me quiet.
Stephanie, the height of professionalism, waiting for her turn to speak.
Thank you, Stephanie.
The only one here who actually, like, knows that a podcast properly.
Applaud.
I'm back from my two-week crushing depression hiatus.
We support you.
Eric and Jaylee swear they can hear Stephanie.
Stephanie, to me, sounds like a Peanuts parent, so I pray that our audience can hear her and that her sections of the pod will not be...
But yeah, Stephanie, I'd rather you take a couple weeks off than going all, I'm mad as hell, I'm not going to take it anymore during the show or something.
And please don't, yeah.
I am a professional sicko.
No one needs to, like, no one needs to torture themselves this way.
Like, but this is, this is my brokenness.
I wish to create a world I am not worthy of living.
That's, that's, that's what I aspire to.
So, I mean.
I actually took a day off.
Serenity there?
Probably.
I've heard people say something to that effect, and I know they've stolen it from somewhere, so I assume that it's stolen.
I don't know nothing about nothing.
I'm an uncultured Philistine.
I understand this.
Right, because Joss Whedon is the height of culture.
Oh, truly.
For our listeners, though, Stephanie did take some time off because they needed some mental health care.
They did a lot of Bob's Burgers, I heard.
I took a day off.
I literally turned my phone off and went to the pool and drank.
And it was nice.
Stephanie, how was your time off?
I went to the pool and drank.
I thought most people go there to swim.
I just played The Sims and listened to slash watch Bob's Burgers on a 24-hour loop.
That was kind of nice, and I've gotten really good at Gail's voice.
Inadvertently, without even trying.
I could do her singing like 100% perfect.
The talking, I'm getting better at, but I practice when I get a chance.
Is that the wife?
That's the crazy sister.
Oh, okay.
Is she actually voiced by a woman?
Because I know half the female cast has been on that show.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I love that Sam Seder is on Bob's Burgers, who is, like, he's done the majority report for, like, two decades now.
I actually got asked to work there one time.
Whoa.
But, yeah, just, like, a lefty, like, radio guy, and then someone that stormed January 6th.
Just such a funny political divide on that cast.
Hey, bipartisanship.
It still works some places.
And it was a real shame because, like, they were, like, I guess they have another voice actor doing him now.
But it was a shame because, like, they're...
That was Jimmy Pesto, wasn't it?
Yeah.
And they were rounding a corner where, like, Jimmy threw out his back and Bob had to go over to take care of him.
And they actually started, like, bonding and actually forming a real friendship.
And then...
The voice actor got booed in.
But they do have someone else, I guess, voicing him now.
But it was just like, how do you have that mindset being surrounded by all those people and all those themes?
I guess he didn't have to act for his role.
I dress up as Tina, like, occasionally for events that require dress-up.
It's so easy for me.
I have the Louise outfit, the dress, and I have several pairs of the hat.
My wife has some of the Louise bunny ears that she wears in the winter.
Yeah, I have, like, four of those, and one of our friends down at Bisbee got me the Melt-It Coochie Copey from when Louise is sick, and they get her.
And he's all melted.
It's not Bob's Burgers, but you reminded me of it.
I do a lot of toy expos and stuff, and whenever I need a quick costume, I'll throw on Dipper from Gravity Falls, and then my wife has a dress so she can do Mabel.
Yeah, I've done Mabel too.
I love Gravity Falls.
I've heard the legends of Gravity Falls, but I never got into it.
I'm just super not.
I don't watch anything.
I'm so media illiterate, it's horrifying.
We should do a watch of Gravity Falls and cover all the conspiracy stuff that they cover in it, because it is conspiracy-heavy.
I love how in the opening credits they have Bat Boy in it, like it's an Easter egg.
Yeah, Gravity Falls rocks.
Yeah.
So, anyhow, trying to steer this ship towards where we're supposed to be going.
I want to keep it light as long as I can.
Let me live the dream.
Okay, great.
No, we're doing a super smooth transition right now.
No, we just lied.
We pumped fake our audience.
Our audience is like, oh man, it's time to learn about George Floyd and the conspiracy surrounding him.
Nope, 90 minutes of Bob's Burgers.
We're doing this.
Just whatever, whatever.
Anything but what we're supposed to talk about because it's horrible.
Let's just stay off topic for as long as humanly possible because the topic sucks.
Now, the reason why...
Sorry, go ahead.
Back, all of you, back!
Back.
Now, anyhow, the reason why this is becoming a thing now is because there was the...
Stabbing incident at a Texas track and field event where a black teenager stabbed a white teenager and there is a giant to-do about what exactly happened.
There's been no video.
I have only heard comments about comments that were made.
I think recently it just came down that they're looking for a first-degree murder charge of Carmelo, who is the teenager that committed this...
They committed the crime that may or may not be justified by self-defense, which, boy howdy, when you listen to the people that are talking about this, it is incredible the way the world works, in the sense that there is no law on Earth that a white person needs to abide by when it comes with dealing with non-whites.
However, non-whites are restricted by all laws in their dealings with whites.
First Degree is wild.
Yeah, First Degree is insane.
Well, the argument I'm hearing is that they're claiming that Carmelo said, I've got a knife on me, try me and find out.
And that means premeditation.
Yeah, which is insane.
But up until that moment, I had heard that what he said was just touch me and find out what happens or something like that.
I never heard anything about him saying that he had a knife until after this First Degree murder.
Crapola came out.
It's interesting, too, that that's being used as proof that it's premeditated and not an act of self-defense and he warned the person that had it.
I don't know the law that well, but doesn't premeditation have to be more than 30 seconds?
No, actually, premeditation can be as little as a second.
It can be any action that denotes One of the things with Chris Watts was when he took his two daughters out to the oil field to smother them.
It was a 45 minute drive out to that oil field.
That was a lot of time to be thinking about what he was going to do.
Yeah, actually, I remember in the OJ trial that they were explaining that him killing the waiter was premeditated.
It didn't take a lot of time.
Once he had killed his wife, and then once the waiter got involved, OJ was like, well, I can't leave a witness, so I have to kill this guy.
And that line of reasoning equals premeditation, which means Ron Goldman, first-degree murder charge there also.
So I remember that from the OJ trial as being like, yeah, premeditation can literally mean...
Right as you're swinging.
You're like, yeah, I gotta do this.
This is a thing that needs to happen.
I've seen Kyle Rittenhouse chime in on this shit.
The poster child for white entitlement in the court system.
You wouldn't believe it.
He's not defending.
He's not making the case for self-defense.
Instead, he is taking the side of the incredibly racist white supremacist.
Blow me down.
If listeners aren't on Twitter or see how the right wing talks, I don't think they can comprehend how viciously racist the commentary has been about this case.
I've seen people who have pressed asses to fucking CPAC saying shit like we need to bring back lynching.
I've seen people talk about how they're all savages and stuff like that.
Basically called for resegregation.
Yeah, there was one of the accounts I follow posted a quote from someone, and they said that, oh, it was Mike Lee.
Our boy based Mike Lee.
He's based Mike Lee.
Mike Lee follows this guy, and the account is a Nazi that I know of, and the tweet was basically, Yeah, I knew this guy, and he was just a hippy-dippy love and love everyone.
And then three months into his job as being a cop in the city, he turned to me and said, they're not even human.
And it's just like, yeah, sure thing, buddy.
Live your best, most racist life.
But the thing about bringing up Rittenhouse was really helpful because that's the main thing that I wanted to start.
My main starting point that I wanted to get with is that...
There is no legal result that can ever happen in these cases that can make these people happy.
Derek Chauvin got railroaded like you read about.
The dude got screwed by the system.
It was total BS.
Obviously, George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose.
Get fucked if you believe otherwise.
And that was a miscarriage of justice.
Then you smash cut to Kyle Rittenhouse getting acquitted for killing two people and shooting a third guy.
And you would think that these assholes would be all, yep, there we go, justice was done.
Kyle had his day in court and he won and that's the way it should be.
Universally, these pieces of shit will be in the comments saying, Kyle shouldn't have been charged.
Self-defense, clear as day.
The fact that he was even put to trial was bullshit.
They're so psychotic and they're so insane that a guy kneels on a guy's neck for nine minutes, he didn't kill him.
A kid kills two people, wounds a third.
The fact that he had to stand a trial is infuriating to these people.
That he was acquitted.
That in the eyes of the law, he is innocent of crimes.
They're just like, should never have come to that.
Fuck this shit.
Which means...
No matter what happens with Carmelo, they are never going to accept self-defense.
If the videotape comes out that the two brothers, one of whom got stabbed and his other brother, and their buddy, the three of them grabbed Carmelo and set him up for a shield powerbomb through a table, and then Carmelo fought them off, they'd be like,
nope, don't care, he killed him, first-degree murder.
Take him to old Sparky and fry him up.
I mean, they're just...
Unless there's a conviction of first-degree murder with the death penalty, they're going to be mad.
There's no way on earth anything but the ultimate bloodlust will satiate them.
And they'll want to televise the execution.
The execution better be on pay-per-view.
And people might think that I'm using hyperbole here, but if you follow QAnon at any point, you can see that they...
Beg for televised military tribunals of everybody they don't personally like, followed by their swift execution again on camera.
I think turning point girlies basically say they want to start seeing public executions.
Like, this is like the far right now.
Yes.
You know?
Yeah.
I forgot what I was going to say.
I'm a little high.
Go ahead.
So, anyhow, dialing it back from the incident in Texas, we get to the first event, which was the George Floyd murder, where people with eyes and the ability to watch what happened,
a cop, Derek Chauvin, kneeled on George Floyd's neck for roughly nine minutes, and after that all happened, George Floyd died.
You, a layperson who has common sense and rationality, would say kneeling on a person's neck for nine minutes probably is really bad and could kill them.
But as we have pointed out, the people that follow this stuff don't want to believe that that is even remotely plausible.
They're just psychotic racists.
Who want you to believe that George Floyd was a druggie and that the only thing that killed him was the fentanyl in his system and that Derek Chauvin was just born under an unlucky star and just happened to be kneeling on his neck for nine minutes when he died of fentanyl because that's a thing that can happen.
Yeah, I know.
I love this idea that he had a drug overdose and...
Coincidentally died while a guy was kneeling on his neck.
They won't even admit that it could have been a factor in his death.
No, it was...
His neck on his knee had literally nothing to do with his death.
Right.
You hear this conspiracy also a lot with the murder of Heather Heyer, who was the woman who was killed in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
Like, there's...
Conspiracies that, like, she didn't die from the car ramming into her.
She had a heart attack right at that moment.
Yeah, I have heard that.
And I just want to go, yeah, that was Charlottesville.
I'm just sorry.
I'm just going over to my head.
Yeah, the woman in Charlottesville, the craze guy decided he was going to crash through the mob and killed her.
Yeah, but he didn't kill her because she had a heart attack.
She saw the car coming.
It was just like, oh, wow, that car's coming at me.
I'm going to have a heart attack and die.
Yeah.
Yeah, she was scared to death by the car, but the driver still wasn't at fault.
Right.
Somehow, even though you still make the car at fault.
No, he's not at fault.
And that is bullshit.
The forensic work that they've done on the 9-11 Fallers, one of the most asked questions about the Fallers was, did they have time to die of a heart attack before they hit the ground?
And their average fall time was 10 seconds, and it was stated that that was not enough time.
So, yeah, you know.
Yeah, Heather hired dying of a heart attack because she saw a car.
That's even more unlikely if the fallers didn't die of heart attacks.
I mean, they don't know for a fact.
You know, they can't say conclusively, but, you know, time and time again, they say 10 seconds isn't enough time.
Yeah.
It's just this whole thing where the people that did these crimes are blameless for some reason.
There always has to be a reason for why the good white person didn't actually kill the bad black person.
It will always be the default setting in these situations.
And no matter how ridiculous or egregious this bullshit is, they're never going to let it go.
It was really funny to me watching during the Derek Chauvin trial.
I'm sitting there and I'm thinking to myself, can't these people give us this one?
This guy obviously did it.
It's a very obvious crime.
Just be like, hey, he was a bad apple.
He shouldn't have done that.
Like, he's got to take his medicine now.
He has to get convicted.
And they were like, nope.
We're going to the floor for this guy.
We are fighting tooth and nail for this guy.
I made a post about the Texas stabbing.
And the Nazis got a hold of it.
And oh my god, did I have so many people fucking fighting with me in the comments.
And just everyone.
Completely delusional, completely irrational, completely psychotic.
I had one guy trying to claim to me that Chauvin had had George Floyd in the safety position.
And then I Googled the safety position.
And by the way, the safety does not involve a knee on your neck.
It's really hilarious.
And this guy was like, but it's in the Minnesota training manual that that's what it is.
And then I...
Actually managed to dig up the Minnesota training manual from the court case and showed him the safety position, as described in that manual.
And it is not a knee on the neck.
And the guy, to his credit, didn't reply to me.
He just gave up at that point, which is shocking, because usually these people never quit, no matter how much evidence you show them, to show how they were wrong.
And then what about the guys who say that wasn't even Derek Chauvin?
Yeah.
That was the guy who was on that Cash Cab show.
Cash Cab.
What?
You never heard that?
Yeah, the host of Cash Cab.
I thought you were able to tell me that, Hayley.
Oh, yeah.
The Cash Cab conspiracy, Ben Bailey, who looks vaguely like Derek Chauvin, a lot of people declared that...
That was who was playing the part of Derek Chauvin in this case and that this was obviously a sign that this was Illuminati propaganda that was designed to inflame racial tensions in America and lead to the BLM riots and protests and all the rest of that stuff.
And I was just like, man, it's really...
This guy's really method acting since he's going to jail for many, many years and also recently got stabbed repeatedly by a fellow inmate.
Yeah.
And you think they could have gone with someone a little bit more famous, like maybe the guy who plays Stabler on Law and Order?
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
It's...
So we had the cash cab conspiracy theory.
This was the first conspiracy theory that I remember where people got really invested into hyper-realistic masks and they were claiming that George Floyd was basically played by some 40-something white dude who just put on this bodysuit and there were all these people posting videos of hyper-realistic masks showing you...
Showing you how anyone can appear to be anybody.
And it's just this aggressive denial of reality where they're just telling you everything you see is staged.
Everything you see is made up by the puppet masters working from behind the shadows to corrupt your mind and poison your soul and all that kind of stuff.
I mean, I know you bring this up a lot in your...
It's something you see in QAnon where there's people who say that we are watching a movie, that nothing you're seeing is actually happening.
It's all a movie that we're being forced to watch like where Xenu is programming our minds or something.
Yes.
Oh yeah, yeah.
You are watching a movie.
Enjoy the show.
That all kind of stuff is what they really enjoy talking about.
And isn't that basically the cave?
Who was it?
Plato's cave?
Oh, you're talking about Plato's cave?
Yeah, it's basically, it's just a rehashing of that over and over again throughout history.
You just see different versions of it.
That's what the Matrix movie essentially was.
I mean, Plato was talking about enlightenment, but yeah, I see what you're saying with that, yeah.
But what I was going to say is that you are watching a show, you're watching a movie, enjoy the show.
This has led to actually a lot of infighting and controversy inside of QAnon between the show watchers and the people that are motivated and demand action.
The show watchers are telling us that God and Q and Trump have got this in the bag and we don't need to do anything.
And the other side of people claim that those people are basically deep state dupes who are encouraging passivity and inactivity from QAnon, and this will sow our defeat.
And that, yeah, Q said these things, but Q never told us to not get in there and post all our spicy memes and do all kinds of good stuff like that.
And it's just very funny, the doctrinal arguments that you see.
You very much understand how conspiracy theories like this are just a twisted form of religion, given how it's just people reading the sacred text and then having differing opinions about what the words mean.
And I do love watching QAnon influencers yell, no, you're the deep state plants at each other.
Yes, exactly.
Tell me about this body thing.
So, again, these people who are doing this stuff, the QAnon people, they're looking at every bit of video and they're looking at everything they can see, trying to come up with the quote-unquote abnormalities,
with the things that show that what happened isn't real.
One of the things that these people came up with is the fact that they claimed that George Floyd didn't have legs, and that when he was placed on the stretcher, basically a blanket is covering over where his lower legs should be,
so you can't see them.
And people, you see his upper body, and you see his thighs, basically.
But below that, the blanket is covering it.
And people are saying, one idiot that I follow from QAnon had a tweet that says, where are his legs?
And they had like a circle around the blanket area trying to indicate that the legs didn't exist.
And then another QAnon promoter showed a different video and was like, his legs are there, guys.
We need to drop the no leg thing.
It's making us look bad.
As if the no leg thing was going to make you look good.
As if you, oh, we did it!
We did it, everybody!
It wasn't a real human being.
It was a mannequin, and the deep state forgot to put legs on it.
We got him!
Got him!
And, yeah.
Incredible.
Yeah.
It always makes me think of the meme that I have of Chansley, Jacob Chansley, in the Capitol with his full Q Shaman gear on, yelling, you guys are making us look silly.
Yes.
Yes.
But also, like, it's not a human.
Like, George Floyd wasn't a human.
It was actually a mannequin.
It's, like, so beyond incredibly dehumanizing.
And it is, like, basically essentially a modern-day lynching.
So it's, like, these conspiracies that are, you know, essentially denying, yeah, a murder that, like, a racialized murder.
It's just, like, levels of anti-black racism that it's just, like...
Remember when people used to say, when Obama won, that racism is dead?
Yeah, racism's over.
We did it, everybody.
Racism's gone.
And that is, I'm sorry, Stephanie, but I just wanted to say that has morphed in time to Obama turned America into a racist country.
Yeah, racism had ended pre-Obama, and then Obama shows up.
And it's just so blackety-black.
Oh, fuck.
This guy's making everything about race.
Guess I gotta be a racist now.
Oh, man.
Oh, dogs.
Oh, fiddlesticks.
I totally didn't want to be a racist, but fucking Obama throwing his blackness in my face all the time.
Now he's got to.
I forget what I was going to say.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to...
Jibrael, you're doing a lot.
Typical man.
It wasn't very important.
Yes, that's right.
I was like, sit down and shut up, woman.
The man is talking.
Actually, Stephanie, I do want your insight on something that's related more to the incident with Anthony Carmelo, Carmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf, the Texas stabbing.
Okay.
The racists have latched onto it in a way that is insane.
Really fast, too.
Patriot Front marched there days after it happened.
The really extreme neo-Nazi groups have been all over it.
And the dad of the boy that was stabbed has been pretty vocal that he doesn't want his kid's death to be politicized.
And there was a legit attempt at a Nazi rally in Texas this weekend, and his...
The dad was, like, incredibly vocal about those people being evil and they're hijacking his son's death.
And in return, he's become public enemy number one on the right.
And they've been calling him, like, soy cuck.
And he also got doxxed and, like, his house got swatted.
I believe it's been swatted twice, actually.
Yeah, they're just, like, hijacking the death of his son.
And I don't know.
I feel like it's kind of parallel what happened to the Sandy Hook kids in a way.
Yeah.
And I remember what I was going to say about Floyd with the mannequin too and that these two things kind of tie in together is we're being exposed to faces of death types.
Well, actually more traces of death.
Faces of death was mostly fake.
Traces of death was real.
Not that I would know.
And not that I had any of them on VHS or anything.
But we're moving more into the traces of death, ogre-ish type thing where...
And it works just the way that the conspiracy theory is used to where you had to go and seek out the real death stuff if you wanted to.
Now, whether you want to or not, it's finding you.
And one of the most...
Common things.
In fact, I totally think someone should steal this name for a true crime podcast.
The first thing people say when they find a body is that they thought it was a mannequin.
It's never a mannequin.
There's the title of your true crime podcast.
It's never a mannequin.
But the human mind, and if you recall...
Poker probably knows this, too.
With 9-11, when the first fallers were reported, they were reported as debris.
Now, one of the reasons for that was because people were so far away.
But our brain fills in dead bodies with stand-ins.
We can't...
We don't...
And the fact that they were going to, oh, he was a mannequin.
It's like...
There's something collectively going on in our society where such exposure to death is destroying what we think death really is.
And I crammed a lot of those horrible images and videos and shit into my brain.
I used to read embalming textbooks because I wanted to be an embalmer and stuff like that.
But there's a difference between...
Subjecting yourself to that stuff and being subjected to it.
And at least you are consenting to the possible damage you're doing to your own psyche.
But the whole thing with the mannequin, it's funny how that's kind of become a narrative.
And it really...
Usually when you hear these accounts of people saying, I thought that was a mannequin.
But didn't the guy who found the body of the Black Dahlia say it was a mannequin?
I was literally thinking the same thing.
Yeah.
But yeah, he thought it was a mannequin at first.
And they always say later on, I was so shocked at what I was seeing that my brain told me it was a mannequin.
Whereas these like crisis actor people, they're not even like understanding the process of what's going on.
When, you know, part of it is racism, but part of it is also denial.
And, I mean, God forbid these people ever see an actual dead body.
I got to watch an embalming, in an embalming class once, and I was like, oh, that's a dead body.
And I was prepared, but I was like, that's a dead body.
You know, I didn't think it was a mannequin.
I knew that was a dead body, but I was shocked to see a dead body.
Yeah, even like other high-profile cases, Matthew Shepard, when he was up against the fence post, people thought he was a scarecrow.
Yeah, so just interesting pattern.
Yeah, but now instead of us acknowledging that that's a psychological defense mechanism, now we're just jumping on it and using it as a racist defense mechanism.
So, these people were looking at all this stuff, and we have the mannequin, we have the no leg thing, and then people were talking about how this video had been pre-taped because...
The video shows nobody wearing masks, and this was after COVID, so obviously this video was filmed pre-COVID, before the masks, and then it was released when it needed to generate the proper racial outrage to cause...
I'm just confused because I thought COVID was planned, and if this video was recorded prior to a planned...
pandemic, then wouldn't they have included the masks in the video knowing that the pandemic was
Also, when George Floyd is interacting with the cops in this whole interaction, he tells them that he's recovering from COVID, which is partially why he's having trouble breathing.
Don't let the facts get in the way of the narrative.
Don't ever let...
The actual videos stand in the way of your pet theory about the conspiracy.
All of what you are doing is based in logic and reason, and that is anathema to these people and what they're going for.
But there should be some logic in the conspiracy.
This reminds me of an article I was about to read, but Mike Rothschild was talking about this.
He said the inconsistency of conspiracy theories, like how COVID is simultaneously planned and a lab leak.
And how it's a depopulation bomb, but also it's no worse than the cold.
Yeah, and one of the things, I mean, I'm not saying I'm special, and there were a lot of inconsistencies in my logic when I was a conspiracy theorist, but I remember back in the early aughts, it was probably the late 90s when I first heard about...
Like, the Bohemian Grove thing with Alex Jones.
And then, like, you know, I was, like, watching more about it and stuff like that.
And I was like, wait a minute.
And, you know, this was, like, one of my dabblings with the conspiracy theories.
And I was just getting into David Icke.
And I thought to myself, okay, if I take Alex at his word, the Bohemian Grove is this evil place and it's super exclusive.
You have to be a member to get in.
And the government is all seeing and all knowing.
So even as like an early conspiracy theorist, I thought to myself, well, Alex Jones can't be legit if he got in because he's either lying about how hard it is to get in or he's a member.
So even with like a conspiracy brain, I was still using a little bit of logic.
Sometimes.

Teksting av Nicolai Winther
Just, A, I wish the soundboard worked, and B, if the soundboard worked, I wish I had on the soundboard, I would click the button, and then the button would say, say the line, Bart, for me.
And then I would announce that the enemy is both strong and weak.
By a continuing shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemy is at the same time both too strong and too weak.
This is Umberto Echo's sign number eight of fascism.
It is literally my favorite thing on the internet.
And it is just what these conspiracy theories are always about.
It is always about an unbeatable enemy that can kill you at any time and also doesn't know how to rig the voting machines in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio, and Florida, and Pennsylvania, and thusly allow Trump to beat Hillary and stave off the New World War.
Right, or like how, since we're talking about George Floyd, this is a bit more topical, like how Antifa, it's a bunch of beta soy cucks who are also trained super soldiers.
That's true.
Yeah, again, that was the original thrust of QAnon, was that Antifa was going to start a civil war on November 4th, 2017, and Q was like, well, they're going to try, but they're going to fail,
because Q-Team is ready for them.
That was that mentality.
But again, going back to the mentality of what people were saying at this time, you had from a friend, it just dawned on me the most glaring component.
Go ahead, Hayley.
Oh, I was just turning my volume up a little bit.
I wasn't raising my hand.
No, sorry.
But yeah, then...
A person replied to the person talking about how it was filmed pre-COVID, ignoring the fact that George Floyd was literally saying, I'm fighting off COVID.
It makes it hard to breathe.
Please do not kneel on my neck and kill me.
Someone replies to them and says, check the gas prices on the gas station.
99 cents a gallon.
And this was an argument that obviously the...
The gas station sign in the background is CGI or otherwise altered, and that this is another artifact of forgery that was made.
And there is a photo, and it's basically the area where Floyd was killed has been turned into a memorial.
There's all kinds of flowers and balloons and art tributes.
So basically the photo I'm looking at is a man kneeling in front of this memorial and there's all kinds of people who are wearing masks because this is during COVID and behind all of these people there is a speedway and that speedway has a sign where gas is in fact $1.89 a gallon because no one was driving anywhere due to COVID and gas was super cheap.
But below that...
If you don't look at it, all you see is the green numbers are, for those of you who don't know, the green numbers on a gas station sign are usually the diesel price.
And the green sign is 99 cents.
And this is what this person is arguing, is they're saying, look, they're claiming they were selling diesel for 99 cents, which obviously they're fucking not.
Vin Diesel?
I'll buy Vin Diesel for 99 cents.
I'm so aggravated that the soundboard isn't working because I'd get the rim shot in there for you.
But alas, such production is beyond hell world.
But if you actually just look at the photo or expand it a little where you can read the sign.
Instead of that being the price of diesel gas, it is coffee.
It is literally the price of coffee at that speedway is 99 cents.
They're just selling you some cheap coffee.
So, no, this was not a conspiracy with an artifact in it.
It's just Speedway's got cheap gas and cheap coffee, so come on in and fuel up and get yourself a cup of joe, and then go pay your respects because we are literally across the street from where that cop killed that guy.
It would be like a gas station on the grassy knoll, basically.
I just wanted to say I never watch the George Floyd video to this day, and I can't.
I know I was just saying how I...
Watch all this, like, real death stuff and all that.
When it's a cop who's doing the killing and not the other way around, I can't watch it because I start to see dark black and red spots in my eyesight and my vision,
like, my rage goes so through the roof and I want...
I literally want to murder someone when I see that stuff.
So I was like, I don't want to...
I've never seen the video.
I know that makes me a pussy, but I mean, I can't deal with that type of rage.
No, I've literally never seen it more than a few seconds either because I don't need to make it.
And I do think that the news gratuitously played it.
I think it was important for the world to see because I think it did kind of open up a lot of people's eyes.
In that time, and made people ask questions that they maybe didn't ask before.
But it is a very, very horrific, what I view as, like, a modern-day lynching.
And, like, I don't need to see it to know that the cop killed this man and that it was awful.
And usually, like, I remember just, like, when the news, like, as soon as you can hear him say, like, mama, I would literally click the news away because they were gonna play the whole fucking thing.
And, yeah, it's just a long nine-minute video of a man choking, and, like, you don't need to see it, in my opinion, to know.
Yeah, like, I almost didn't, I almost couldn't, I didn't even, I almost didn't even start watching Don't Fuck With Cats, because they started showing a little bit of that, and I was like, nope, and then Jonathan watched it, and he's like, no, no, no, it's only a few seconds,
they stopped before the bad stuff, you could come back, and, you know.
But I can't, and when it's cops doing that, like, if it was a doctor, and there was a video of a doctor doing that to someone, if it was a paramedic, if it was, like, someone that, a firefighter, if it was any of the,
these are people who we entrust with our lives, and the fact that cops are always killing people instead of saving them, I just can't, I can't.
And I saw the Eric Garner, Video, and I started seeing those spots, and I was like, I want to murder someone.
I don't know if anybody is still on Twitter at all, but videos like Floyd's death and other...
This one was recorded from somebody.
It was a teenager that recorded the Floyd video, and she got a lot of heat for that herself and harassed.
But, like, a lot of the body cam videos of, like, black people interacting with cops have become kind of, like, sharing, they're being shared for funsies by, like, even people like Benny Johnson at this point.
Like, I don't, I feel like it's just, like, the cesspool that Twitter has become is, like, frighteningly, it's just, yeah.
So it's, like, you'll see these interactions where, like, someone gets shot by a cop.
And they're shared as, like, ha-ha funny.
Yeah, and because that's the way that social media works, engagement for enragement.
And you see with the Blue Anon accounts, too.
Like, all the shit-lib Blue Anon accounts, they're not looking for facts.
They're looking for followers.
They're looking for outrage.
Especially since that's...
Since Elon's retool, that's basically how the blue check system works is you get your Elon bucks for engagement.
They don't care if you're putting in quality content.
They care that you're getting clicks and eyeballs.
I don't know if he purposely designed it that way, but that's how it is.
I'm always telling people do not engage with these people because if somebody writes some obviously hateful crap and then gets...
2,000 people saying what a horrible person you are.
Guess what?
You just gave that guy $100.
I'm sorry.
Right.
You should screenshot these people unless you actually want to get into a direct fight with them.
Which means once in a blue moon, I will actually quote tweet someone.
That is, like, I will say that anytime I quote-tweet someone, it's almost always because I want to call them out for their fucking JFK bullshit because...
The kid agrees.
Yeah, I was like, man, that was spot-on timing.
It's like the young ones all this time we've had a fifth host that you never knew about.
There was something...
Because, Stephanie, you mentioned Eric Garner, and that reminded me of something that I know you wanted to bring up on here, was that I think Eric Garner was the first time I saw, when people were talking about the video, they're like, if you can say I can't breathe, then you can breathe.
Yeah, I heard that a lot.
Yeah, and that is one of the biggest myths, because with you...
Talking requires the usage of the lungs and diaphragm, but you can still talk and not be able to get the proper amount of air into your lungs.
I think people get mistaken.
They mix it up with strangulation and choking.
Choking and strangulation is an outward or internal constriction of the windpipe.
And that's usually categorized with petechia, which is like, you'll see it on the neck.
You'll see like...
Black spots, you know, black and blue spots, but you'll see it in the eyes.
It's like little red dots in the eyes, and that's more indicative of strangulation or choking or smothering, where there's a direct constriction on the windpipe internally or externally.
Positional asphyxia, which is what Floyd died from, is...
More of a pressure on the lungs and the diaphragm.
So you can still talk.
In some situations you can't.
But you can still talk with positional asphyxia.
And I think people just get so confused.
They confuse choking, strangulation, and smothering with positional asphyxia.
And I was just going to bring up...
The incident in 2009 in a cave in Utah called Nutty Putty Cave where a man and there are different versions of the story that he took a wrong turn or that he decided to go somewhere he knew he shouldn't and it looks like he decided to go somewhere he knew he shouldn't and he went head first and he was sliding there was like an incline and he couldn't stop himself and they think he even did like Bump his head at one point.
He fell straight down.
His body completely inverted in a hole.
And they spent 27 hours trying to get him out.
He eventually died.
And it wasn't exact positional asphyxia, but the way that his ribcage landed on this small outcropping of rock.
His ribcage was actually kind of hung up on this piece of rock.
And the...
The gravity pooled the blood, and towards the end, one of the rescue workers, Brandon Kawalis, he said that he could hear John's breathing gurgle, gurgle, and that they noted,
like, his legs were dead before, his legs were, like, already dead before he died from the blood pooling, and that blood pooling, that pressure, It constricted his diaphragm.
It constricted his lungs.
And he was conscious for part of the time.
And he was able to talk.
They put a microphone down there.
And he was able to talk.
So that's a very, very extreme example of a very slow, torturous positional asphyxia.
Anybody who thinks if you can talk, you can breathe, nutty putty.
That's your two-word answer to that, is nutty putty.
One thing I wanted to mention, because my take on it was that people don't seem to realize the kind of mindset you're in in a situation like that, even if you can breathe a little.
I'm asthmatic, so I've had many instances where I'm just having trouble breathing, and it is scary.
If you're having trouble pulling breath in, if it's ever happened to you, you don't know.
It is terrifying and you are not thinking rationally in that state.
So you're going to yell out something like, I can't breathe, even if you can a little bit.
Yeah, and depending on what environment you are and what state of mind you are in, there have been divers who go too deep on improper equipment and they experience something called narcosis and they pull the fucking...
Breather out of their mouths and drown because they don't know what's going on.
Right, yeah, because your lizard brain isn't thinking, wait, I'm underwater, I shouldn't do this.
Well, and also you're narked.
You have nitrous narcosis, so you're high when this is happening.
And there are different, you know, there's different, like I've learned so much about the lungs lately.
I do this exercise.
I try to hold my breath for longer and longer periods of time.
I'll walk down.
I'll try to see how far I can get from the apartment door to the dumpster.
In my mind, I'm pretending you can't come up for air.
You're pretending you're underwater.
There's an overhead environment.
You can't come up.
I can breathe at any time, but I'm doing this exercise to prepare myself.
It is very scary.
And I have gotten close to the point of passing out a few times.
But it is very scary.
And if you can control that, you know, doing these breath exercises has actually helped me with panic and anxiety and stuff.
But when you're in a situation where there's an obstructing force, especially if it's a human, like, that's got to be more aggravating than, like...
Getting stuck in something, like, in a net underwater.
Because the human, you can communicate with and say, stop this.
Stop doing this.
And it's just...
And weren't there some shots of, like, Chauvin, like, kind of like, I don't know.
I think I'm misremembering this, but I'm getting, like, you know, American Psycho vibes.
Like, he was kind of, like, posing a little bit.
That might have just a misremember.
There's just one, there's just a photo that's of him kind of, it kind of looks like a grin that is used by both people who hate him and love him as like, just a moment, a frame of the moment,
essentially.
Like, Nazis love it because they're like, yeah, he just killed a fucking black guy.
And obviously other people find it horrific.
Right after that happened, I had been listening to this podcast called Small Town Dicks, and it's hosted by Yardley Smith, Lisa Simpson, and a former detective who is now her husband.
And the love story of how they met is really cute.
And it's like a true crime podcast with a former detective on it, but...
They're not afraid to go after...
It's not copaganda.
In the episode they did on George Floyd, the detective said, like, he said, when I heard that Chauvin's wife filed for divorce right away, he's like,
as a detective who's dealt with homicide and all this type of shit, he's like, what this tells me is...
He's gotten violent with his wife, most likely.
And boom, just from his detective brain, he fired that off, and that made sense.
And a lot of times, the violence starts in the home.
It goes outward.
And I don't know if he abused his wife or not, but it was just interesting to hear a former detective's opinion on that.
And I haven't listened to the podcast lately, but...
It was pretty good.
And the George Floyd episode was very moving.
And they were very brutal.
And they were talking about the mentality of these types of cops.
And, you know, I've got an ACAB mentality, but I do think it is important.
And I'm sure someone will crucify me for this, but there are some Rune!
Bleien!
Ja, de brukte jeg på Bailey, for hun har løpt det.
Ja, men da er det jo fint at du nå får 50% medlemsrabatt på bleier hos Kopriks.
For short, stick in on.
in on.
You know...
I think that's what, like, a lot of people were woken up to in that era was, like, wow, you mean to tell me that cops can be bad?
You know?
And it is really funny because, like, the biggest, I think you talked about this on the podcast recently, but, like, there was an incident here about a year ago where a deaf man with cerebral palsy, who's black, was jumped by a couple white cops.
And they tased him a bunch, and they did, like, hit him in the head and have their, you know, like, they choked him, which is now, in a lot of states, and because of the George Floyd, like, uprisings and that era and the video and everything,
banned, but cops still do it.
And, like, what do they call it?
What do they call it now?
What's their special cop phrase for someone freaking out and they use it as a word for when they kill someone?
Excited delirium.
Yeah, yeah.
And, like, so that local incident, they got lucky because the guy essentially, you know, it's like, it would have been exactly like what happened to George Floyd if he died, but he survived.
And now it's doing the city, rightfully, and the cops.
But, like, I knew one of those cops.
I grew up with one of those cops, and I went to school with them for my whole life, and I still have kind of somewhat contact with friends of that cop, and I know the personality of that cop, and he is not a good person, and he never was a good person.
And I know his opinion on that incident from behind the scenes, and I just know he's just, yeah, there's some people that just are actually terrible, terrible, terrible cops.
And I think a lot of people woke up to that during George Floyd.
And one thing that people have this misconception of this like serial killers versus the cops.
Sometimes the cops are the fucking serial killers.
But one thing I wanted to ask is, this sounds familiar.
I wonder if this is just a similar situation I've heard of, but didn't the guy with CP, didn't he have a caretaker with him who was trying to explain to the cop what was going on?
It was his wife.
That was it, yeah.
Yeah.
What essentially happened was the cops, a Circle K called the police over somebody who was causing issues at the Circle K, and it was a white guy.
The white guy tells the cops when they get there, like, I was with that guy over there across the street.
They go over there and get out of their car and just jump him.
They don't ask him a question.
They don't do anything.
And they start tasing him.
Like, that shit's deadly as fuck.
I just shot a police taser.
I know how brutal those can be.
And, like, they're hitting him in the head.
And, yeah, they are asphyxiating him.
And, like, they are, I, you know, like, that man is lucky he didn't die.
And, yeah, his wife was there.
She runs out of the...
He's deaf.
He can't even hear what you're saying.
And they're trying to handcuff him.
He's resisting arrest.
He's resisting arrest.
And I don't know how severe the guy's cerebral palsy is or anything, but I have some experience working with people with a condition and I know there can be delays in processing time.
You can ask them a question and it might take 10-15 seconds for them to answer it, even if it's a simple question.
So that's just a recipe for disaster.
And they're not trained.
When you go into the FBI, you have to do a lot of psychological training, a lot of sociological training and shit like that.
But any asshole can be a cop.
And look, I know the FBI has done a lot of bad shady shit and stuff like that, but that's the type of training that...
Helps to weed out some of the sickos.
And that's the type of training that should be used for police.
Police should be held to the same standard as the feds.
Because, like, look, I know they're both bad.
But if I was, like, at, like, if there was some big, like, mass trauma incident or whatever that I was a bystander to, and I had a choice of running to a fed or a cop, I'm running to a fucking fed.
I don't know.
People were making fun of it because after the George Floyd thing, people were talking about...
I mean, it was part of the defund the police thing, but they were saying they were talking about setting up an alternate service where instead of sending a cop to a situation that you can call a social worker, somebody who has training and knows how to handle somebody who might be neurodivergent or,
Or does it react in a way that a cop expects a person to react because they're only trained in how to work
I don't necessarily agree with that,
but I do see the point, you know, yes, let's, instead of...
Instead of giving these guys money to buy their assault rifles, how about we put aside some of this money so that we can get people who do know how to work with neurodivergent people and can help defuse situations rather than making them worse?
Yeah.
Police are...
It's funny because it's a one-size-fits-all solution to a problem.
And that one-size-fits-all solution is a guy with a gun who basically has the legal right to kill you if you do something that he doesn't like.
And that always makes me laugh because of the fact that I live in quiet town.
I live in the most peaceful little place in the little hamlet of majestic Massachusetts you ever heard of.
And I have a friend from Nevada.
I have a friend from Las Vegas.
I work a crazy second shift schedule, and obviously he's three hours earlier than me.
So one day, I'm walking around my neighborhood around midnight or one in the morning, and I'm talking to him on the phone because he's up and I just got out of work.
And 15 minutes into our conversation, a cop rolls up on my quiet little street.
And he's just like, hey, what are you doing?
And I'm like, I'm on the phone.
He's like, you live here?
I'm like, yeah.
And I point at my house and he's like, well, like, be quiet.
So some neighbor like was annoyed at the fact that I was talking too loudly on my phone while I was walking up and down the street in my neighborhood and thought to themselves, instead of opening my window and telling that guy to shut up.
I am going to call in a person with a gun and the legal right to commit murder and they will tell this young gentleman to quiet down.
Literally.
And I just, it's like, I just, I just, I mean, like, again, I have my beautiful lily white skin.
Oh, it's so beautiful.
Oh, it's so pale.
So pale and pasty.
And, again, my town has literally no crime.
So this made this cop's day that he got to tell someone to shut up.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I had so much to learn if that happened.
I was outside of my apartment in a...
In a very small town that is mostly populated with doctors and lawyers and retired doctors and lawyers.
And I was just outside listening to some music.
I smoked back then, so I was having a cigar.
And every cop in town rolls up on me and is like, what are you doing?
I'm like, nothing.
Like, do you live here?
I'm like, yes, that's my apartment right there.
And one of them even recognized me from another time.
That the cops have been called on me for hanging out after dark.
And it's the same thing.
I'm thinking, you know, if I was not a Nordic guy, I would be in deep doo-doo right now.
Right.
This could go bad for me if I was in a different town and I had a different skin color.
Yeah, I mean, you know, there was like...
listeners we'll be talking two episodes about this because like it's more than just the murder of george floyd and the uprisings that happened after there was a lot of high profile uh police murders and just like racialized
murders uh specific like of black men and women um in that era that got like heavily publicized because it was like in the conversation at the time and black lives matter started before this uh it kind of started
in the like trayvon martin era um but
There was a lot of Black Lives Matter conspiracies up to this day.
And Antifa conspiracies, because a lot of people went into the streets, including people who generally are considered quote-unquote Antifa, or whatever you want to call it.
We'll get into all that next episode.
But some of those murders that did happen in that era were a guy just kind of wandering in his neighborhood.
And someone called the cops.
And one of those situations, it wasn't exactly cops that went after him, but it was still kind of a police injustice when it started, was the murder of Ahmed Aubrey, who was the man that was jogging, and those, like, vigilantes went and took,
like, they murdered him.
But when the cops initially showed up, they were just like, okay, yeah, you took care of somebody who was breaking into stuff, nice job.
And the term, some listeners, if you are not brain poisoned, you might see this term used online, jogger, is internet speak for the n-word.
White supremacists use that term to essentially reference this incident.
And they do it in a derogatory way because they do...
Also, they created, essentially, conspiracies about his murder, saying he was breaking into the houses around there.
Right.
Again, this is the thing where the white person, no matter how egregious their crime was, they are justified.
And the people that killed Aubrey killed him.
They had no right to do that.
It was murder.
An open and shut case.
But these people...
Never gonna back down.
Never gonna say, you know what?
They got that one wrong.
That shouldn't have happened.
That is not how this game is played.
It is maximal offense at all times, always.
You never take a backward step.
Everything a white person does is noble, honest, and pure.
Everything a black person does is murderous, vile, and evil.
Yeah, you even see that with Breonna Taylor, who was...
Asleep in bed when she was shot by police and they still want to make her the bad guy.
You shouldn't have been sleeping with a drug dealer if you didn't want to get popped.
Right.
And what was he doing pulling a gun in his own apartment?
Yep.
Oh yeah, all of that.
All of that.
Yep.
I mean, even the original Trayvon Martin when Black Lives Matter kind of started actually with the George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.
Like, there was a lot of conspiracies just about him and what he did.
Like, he was breaking into people's windows, and he was gonna kill George Zimmerman, and all this shit that was kind of like early era of these conspiracies.
And there was sort of early era internet, like, racism.
Like, memes, if you want to call it that.
Like, with the Skittles, because he bought Skittles.
Like, there was these racialized phrases that, like, unless you're incredibly online and in these circles, you may not realize what they were.
But, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I remember there were some people who were trying to say that this is not a white-on-black issue because George Zimmerman was not 100% white.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What, is there a three-drop rule?
Exactly.
Like, I think he was, like, half Hispanic or something like that.
I can't even remember what it was.
Which could be white.
I don't want to get into the Hispanic-Latino conversation, but you try to have this conversation with some people, and it's like, they do not comprehend.
Yeah, for all we know, his grandfather was an ex-Nazi living in Argentina or something.
Literally, yeah, yeah.
And they're, like, based on Hispanic.
Louis C.K. was born in Mexico.
Like, that man is white.
You know?
And he talks about being white in his comedy acts.
And sexually harassing women.
Yes.
Well, yeah.
And he made references to some of the sexual harassment stuff and some of the stand-up years before it came out, and I think that was his way to, like, you know, vaccinate himself.
But, yeah.
Hey, it's comedy.
Comedy's edgy, you know?
Oh, who's an edgy boy?
I just saw an article about the comedian Tim Dillon, how he, like, opened the door for a lot of these asshole right-wing edgelords and shit.
And I met that fucker.
Like, in fact, Jonathan and I recorded an episode at Doug's Funhouse.
And it was called Tim Dillon's Underpants, because apparently, because this was when Tim Dillon was on his way down to record with Alex Jones and Joe Rogan.
And he had stopped at Doug's the night before.
And he was on some all-meat diet, and apparently he shit his pants and threw them away at Doug's guest house.
So we were, like, literally talking shit about him.
But anyway, yeah, Tim Dillon's a shitty comedian, and he shat his pants at Stan Holmes.
You have the dirt.
Is that the fucking Babylon Bee guy?
I don't know, but he was on Rogan with Alex, and it was like a few years ago, and there was a big Knowledge Fight episode about that, and it was weird for me to listen to, because I was like, oh,
I met that dick.
It's not the Babylon Bee guy listeners.
I made a falsehood.
Oh, God.
Oh.
Well, that's the thing.
That's the thing here at Hellworld.
We atone for our journalistic errors.
We strive for nothing if not excellence in our findings, in our fact-finding missions.
Speaking about Joe Rogan, did you guys hear that he is on the side of due process with the whole Seacott thing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I see all these people saying, man, when you lose Joe Rogan.
Yeah.
Occasionally the libertarian still comes out.
I don't believe him.
That would be my response to all this.
I demand further libertarianism from Mr. Rogan.
My favorite part of that video is that he immediately, he begins the video by immediately being like, look, new president in 2028, I don't want to talk about the current guy, but it's just like, dude, this is about the current guy.
It's about your boy, who you endorsed, doing the thing that he's doing right now.
You can't pivot away from the current guy.
Speaking of the current guy and this situation, with the Kilmar Abrego Garcia incident, you know, the black bagging and sending to a slave labor camp.
Oh, that incident?
That incident.
Just so listeners know where I stand on that issue.
You know, there's a lot of conversation right now about the type of character that Abrego Garcia is.
And some of it is pure lies.
But him, like all human beings, are human beings.
So, of course, they're attacking his character right now.
Which made me reminiscent of the George Floyd era.
Because that's exactly what happened to him.
You know, because he had like a history of arrests.
And like, yeah, had...
Problems with drugs, like, a lot of people.
Hello!
Right here, everybody!
And it's just, like...
This is not an argument.
I don't give a fucking shit what type of person this is.
Because, like, yeah, a man was lynched and a man was sent to a slave camp without due process.
I honestly worry that the first American that they'll send to Seacott, like the first actual US citizen they'll send to Seacott, will be just the worst human being on Earth because they want people to be like...
Yeah, and these guys who are saying no due process for illegals, these are supposed to be guys who love the Constitution, and equal protection under the law is a cornerstone.
It shouldn't matter if...
You know, this guy actually is a bad person or not.
He still has the same right to a trial and everything that everyone else does.
Yep.
It's just due process.
And I made this post earlier today, but literally fucking in the Q drops, Q is like, look, guys, we got to get this by the book.
This has got to be done by the letter of the law.
So QAnon understands due process when it is an excuse for why Hillary and Obama haven't been sent to Gitmo to be executed yet.
But Killian Garcia, obviously a bigger monster than Hillary or Obama.
That guy doesn't get due process.
We just ship him to the gulag.
No muss, no fuss.
wash our hands of it and then we get mad when people try to call us out on it.
So, do we have any more things for this week's episode about this?
Because we're at an hour 15, so...
Yeah, and it's about time for me to boot scoot, so...
I was just going to say, everybody tonight, before you go to bed, I want you to look up the diagram of how he was stuck in that cave, and I want you to burn that image into your mind, and I want that to be the image you see as you're falling asleep.
Why?
I love that you're...
I just love that you're like, I'm so squeamish about all these horrible things.
I get a panic attack when I see violence on TV.
And now you're like, I want you all to imagine the most horrific death imaginable and then grab more information to poison your mind with it.
I want you to be sick and ill.
I want you to get...
It's like the ring.
If it's burned into my brain, I have to spread it.
Israel loves company.
Yeah, don't watch it.
Yeah, don't look it up.
You know what?
Listeners, I want to talk to you about something here right now.
There's a pruder film.
Don't fucking watch it.
It's fucking terrible.
Guy gets his head blown off.
Fucking sucks.
Let me watch it.
I'm already poisoned.
It's over.
I'm done.
Hello.
Spoilers.
It's been 60 years.
People are hip to it.
They get it.
Anyhow, thank you all for listening to this episode of the podcast.
You'll be listening to more episodes in the future.
If you enjoyed the show, give us a five-star review on that platform.
If you want to give me money, go to patreon.com slash pokerpolitics and do that.
That'd be a wonderful thing to happen.
Thanks to Frosty for our bump that doesn't work anymore because Riverside has destroyed the soundboard apparently and we only get the intro music that was made by DJ Minimal Effort and then I remixed it by accident.
If you've got money and you don't want to give it to me, then give it to love146.org and help them fight human trafficking because that is a good thing to do.
I think that covers this, because I'm doing the outros now, and I can make them a short hour as long as I want, and I'm not Saladad O 'Brien, so this isn't going to be over five minutes.
