	The Adventures in Hell World 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 am Mike Greens, aka Pokerman Politics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hello World.
	This week I am joined as always by Haley aka Chaley, aka Arizona Right Watch.
	Hello, listeners.
	I am so tired.
	I feel like I'm gonna die live on the pod.
	But that would get us banned, so I'm not gonna do that.
	Do not do that.
	Please do not perish on the pod.
	And if you do, like fall off camera.
	Like just like make sure that you're actually not like doubled over on camera while it's happening.
	We're also joined by Eric, the deep state operative.
	Hi.
	I want to apologize ahead of time if there's any weird sounds coming from my end because uh I'm trying to 3D print my son's Halloween costume at the moment, and uh my printer decided that now it was going to have every squeak and creak magnified.
	Wait, before we intro Steph, who we always saw, what are you building what are you making for your son?
	He wants to do uh Luigi uh specifically from Luigi's Mansion, so I am printing out the it's called the Poltergust.
	It's basically it's a it's it's like imagine like the Pro Time Pack from Ghostbusters, but it's a vacuum cleaner.
	I'm very familiar with Luigi's Mansion because I love Luigi's Mansion.
	Also cute that your son's going as Luigi.
	Yeah.
	I also may go as Luigi this year, but Haley's so edgy, she cut me.
	Oh man.
	Three edgy five me.
	Oh man.
	But uh, but real quick, just to push Stephanie's intro back even farther.
	I want to mention that I have a tattoo of Luigi on my back.
	Okay.
	I I was trying to get Steph into the pod, and Eric and Haley were like, no, no, Steph's not allowed to talk.
	She can go to hell.
	Steph, you're in the game.
	Welcome, Steph.
	She's here.
	Hi, I too might also die from exhaustion.
	Uh I thought you were gonna say you two are gonna be Luigi for Halloween.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Halloween would mean me going out and like being in like the real world, but I am going out to see the 25th anniversary theatrical release of Battle Royale on October 12th.
	My husband already got his ticket.
	It's like I think it's one night only, and it's not dubbed.
	It's in the original Japanese, which if they had dubbed it, I would be screaming.
	I'm so excited to see it on the big screen.
	I've seen Holy Grail, The Wall, Rocky Horror, uh Apocalypse now on the big screen, so like this is like really exciting for me.
	Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen that on the big screen.
	Did I ever I can't remember, did I ever tell you that uh that I used to be in uh a Rocky horror cast?
	Technically I still am because I'm on the rolls, but I haven't actually done anything since my son was about like six months old.
	I never really got into like the movie, but I love the soundtrack.
	I love the soundtrack, but I am I'm not even like a musical person, but I love the Rocky Horror soundtrack.
	The movie is just like, and all the people they're they're all like in the theater, it's just whatever, but yeah, have your fun, you know.
	But uh like one thing I learned a lot about the LGBTQ community just from doing Rocky Horror, because uh as you may imagine if you know anything about the movie, the it is very big in the LGBTQ community, and so there's a lot of inclusion going on and stuff.
	Uh like I actually there was this uh one guy who uh who joined the cast and while during while being in the cast transitioned to male.
	Uh so I learned a lot about that, and then uh he he ended up playing Rocky, and you could actually still see the uh the double massectomy scars while he was running around uh wearing nothing but a pair of speedos.
	I think the person who directed Rocky Horror is genderqueer too.
	Who do you play in Rocky Horror?
	I was uh I would do Dr. Scott, the guy in the wheelchair, but yeah, Richard Richard Richard O'Brien, the guy who created Rocky Horror, yeah.
	He I think he's gone on record saying that he's about 60% male and 40% female.
	And did you know that oh sorry, go ahead.
	But I want to hear what you're gonna say, because maybe it's what I was gonna say.
	Richard O'Brien was also in the movie Dark City.
	He was one of the strangers, yeah.
	Yeah, he was Mr. Hand.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah.
	That was a great role.
	And he was and he's also, this is really weird.
	He's the dad on Phineas and Ferb.
	Oh, that's so funny.
	Oh my god.
	Every time I listen to it, I'm like, I can't believe that's Richard O'Brien.
	And I think we killed Mike with all this.
	Oh no, I just have nothing to say because like my my dealings with Rocky Horror are incredibly minor.
	I've like seen Rocky Horror a little.
	I could look up where the Boston cast is.
	Um yeah, I'll I'll get right on that.
	Oh, yeah, I'll be running down to the theater for my Rocky Horror.
	I mean, I actually I mean, uh if you talked if Elle was around, he would give you his eye-rolling review of Rocky Horror and how it's just and Elle's a theater kid, so he's it's not even it's not even about the it's not even about the movie so much when you go.
	It's it's it's the experience.
	You see all the the all the people, all the all this all the hijinks going on.
	It's a lot of fun.
	Yeah, it's about the crowds, it's uh it's about the crowd interaction.
	Oh, I understand.
	I understand entirely.
	I get Rocky Horror.
	Okay, so it's called full bucket.
	I think a lot there's a lot of discourse every Halloween.
	It's on like there was actually one today that I saw on like them magazine, like a queer magazine, that was like about Rocky Horror, because it's like there is always this like kind of yearly discourse.
	Like there are transphobic elements in it, but it's more like an outdated thing.
	It's more like it happens like in the 70s, so it's just like not to the times.
	Yeah.
	Everybody kind of accepts the plot is bad.
	I mean Well, I mean I mean, I mean, you know, okay, the the bad guy in the movie is trans.
	I'm not his trans uh is a cross dresser, but he's not evil because he's a cross dresser.
	He's evil and he's a cross dresser.
	Yeah.
	I think that's a pretty important distinction because a lot of movies uh will will make it seem like the person like in uh like they did that in Silence of the Lambs.
	They kind of tried a careful line where they're trying to say, you know, okay, yeah, he's uh you know, you know, he he he he he's he's trans, uh the you know, Buffalo Bill, but that's not what makes him evil.
	It's just the whole that somebody said he's not even a real trans because it's all it's it all boils down to he wants to be a woman because he hates who he is, not because he thinks he's a woman.
	Yeah, but you know who he's based on, right?
	And uh the real uh Ed Gean.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He's big and and like uh Ed Gean's whole thing, he had a lot of like mom issues and dad issues and it's like.
	Ed King was a straight up freak.
	I mean, even for a serial killer, he was a freak.
	He I think he only killed like one or two people.
	He really didn't have a lot of things.
	Yeah, most yeah, most of the bodies he had were stuck where he dug up from a graveyard it was yeah very at least he was creative and artistic I mean he had an arm I I made a Barbie doll version of like some of his stuff like I have an armchair with Barbie arms and stuff like that the guy I can't remember his name right now but the guy who played Buffalo Bill he was on Monk as the uh as as the cop who was always working with Monk and like I just wonder if like ever like
	there's an outtake where he leans over to to you know tony shalhoub goes monk would you fuck me and also that song in that scene goodbye horses is such a great song i remember when i heard that song for the first time and i think that was like part of my goth awakening i was like song is amazing what is it i'm like you know 10 years old um speaking of movies i feel like this is gonna be a movie heavy episode
	because we're talking about that nicholas cage movie at some point that i've never heard of um snake eyes hold on i do want to ask is anybody is anybody gonna uh i saw the onion is actually releasing a full-length movie that about jeffrey epstein did anyone see anything about this it's called like bad pedophile no i didn't hear anything about that at all i think i just announced it yesterday but it's already like impossible to get tickets and they're not even showing there's they're only like
	essentially what i'm
	I was was reading was essentially that like it was gonna have theatrical release and then Kirk was killed and the theaters pulled out they didn't want I think smoke and um now it's just kind of like indie theaters that are picking it up none in Arizona which is really fucking annoying Arizona theater goers that I know listen to us what about what about this be they have like nothing in Tucson either.
	Oh really that's weird um but yeah I would see it if they brought it here and Mr. Onion should reach out and um give me a copy.
	Um William Onion hear it about that but anyways any other movie news uh I heard a nine inch nails song on the radio and I was wondering if it's the one from Tron.
	It probably is as as what is it as alive as you need me to be that's I didn't remember the name of it but it was definitely a new because it was on a station that plays new music so it was not an old Nine and Snail song and I didn't recognize it.
	How weird is it that we went from I think Nine and Snails because when Pretty Hate Machine came out like nobody knew who this band was and it it went from like this underground thing to like this like now they're playing Nine inch nails at Disney World on the Tron ride.
	Like, yeah, like that.
	And like Ice Cube went from Ice Cube and Ice-T and Snoop Dogg went from gangster rapper to like household name.
	Yeah.
	It's so wild.
	I know.
	I kind of wonder if when Ice-T was doing Body Count, he said to himself one day, I'm going to be doing a commercial car insurance.
	Or I'm going to be playing a cop on a TV show.
	I know the irony of that never dies.
	The guy who sang Cop Killa is now a cop.
	And in Tank Girl, he plays one of the kangaroos and they're like, so what did you used to be in your other, in your former life?
	He's like, I was a cop.
	All right, I got to ask you guys.
	Have you seen Snake Eyes?
	Yes, I've seen it.
	Yes.
	I have not seen Snake Eyes, no.
	I have no idea what this fucking movie is.
	Okay, it's a Brian De Palma movie.
	So it starts off with a big one, you know, like one of those big long shots where it's like five minutes long, but it's only one, but it's one take on the same camera.
	And it's basically, yeah, it's Nicolas Cage in his full hemi glory just running around in Vegas, I believe.
	there there's your connection to it Mike oh yeah that might be a huge connection to this movie I don't even remember what it's what it was about no I don't either I mostly could because everyone everyone thought that the big shot at the beginning that's all one take is great and then the movie kind of got after that like Like I I kind of I was reading that thing that you you sent talking about all the connections, and I just kind of had to be like, okay, okay, because I didn't remember nothing about what he was talking about.
	It was just it, it was just a in and in and out of the theaters kind of movie.
	Mike, do you want to explain why we're talking about snake eyes cinema classic starring stage?
	So in the movie, Charles Kirkland, the Secretary of Defense, was assassinated by a gunshot to the neck.
	Charlie Kirk, Charles Kirkland.
	The assassination of Charlie Kirk Charles Kirkland took place in September.
	And then the guy has like the Hamas triangle, but for some reason it like it's just bullet point noter and not like support for the Palestinian people.
	It's like really weird.
	And and and snake eyes are a one and a one, like eleven, nine-eleven.
	True.
	I think I just broke Mike's brain in that look on his face.
	No, because yeah, because Snake Eyes is a two in craps.
	I know that.
	So I'm just saying, turning Snake Eyes into 11 was like, wow, that's a lot of work.
	Hey.
	Because 11 is yo, the yo 11.
	But I mean, that's what people do with with the one of the bacon conspiracy theories.
	They'll be like, they'll be they'll be like, Charlie Kirk had been had been alive for for uh 1775 days, so they had to kill him before the declaration of independence.
	I understand what you're saying, but you also uh you need to understand that you are on the Adventures in Hell World podcast, where we have aggressively innovated the no and form of improv where you walk up to me and say there's a parrot on my shoulder, and I respond by saying, No, there isn't.
	Fuck you.
	I'm not giving you that parrot.
	Whatever you're whatever you were going for with this bit, I'm cutting it off right now.
	So yeah, that is how this works.
	But uh anyhow, um in the film, the heavyweight fight, the uh who took the fall is named Lincoln Tyler, who is allowed the assassin to get away, drawing parallels to Tyler Robinson, who is believed to be the fall guy.
	Uh another Hamas triangle.
	Don't leave just yet.
	It gets even weirder.
	Oh, thank god.
	I was so worried it was gonna get more normal, but it's not.
	Part of the movie was shot at the Trump Taj Mahal hotel and casino in Atlantic City.
	Gilbert Powell, the sleazy arena director and defense contractor is explicitly noted as a character based on Donald Trump.
	Uh Gilbert Powell was plot of part of the plot to orchestrate the assassination as part of a conspiracy involving a missile defense system deal.
	In the movie, Dunn confessed to the trip to Norfolk was a test for the air guard missile defense system, which Powell's company was backing.
	He deduces that the sniper, a known Palestinian terrorist named Tariq Rabat, who was protesting weapon shipments to Israel, learned of the test and assassinated Kirkland in order to stop the sale of the system to the US government.
	Uh also notable throughout the film, a hurricane named Jezebel strikes at Linux City.
	This is also possible given that we learned that the Jezebel website uh paid a uh witch on Etsy to curse uh Charlie Kirk.
	This is just weird.
	He then concludes.
	I love that he didn't tie it together at the end and put a bow on it.
	He just ends by saying, This is weird.
	This is and then he like like Powell.
	There's there's like a defense dude named Powell, like Colin Powell, like he didn't even go for that.
	Like, come on, dude.
	This is a Q guy, right?
	Uh yeah, um MJ Truth Ultra is a big uh QAnon guy, yes.
	It's a good thing it doesn't have 1.1 million views or anything.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, I mean, uh 1.7 million.
	Yeah, we uh you have more than you know, but uh I mean the the sad thing is is that while we're talking about snake eyes and that kind of stuff, we've got uh the rattle trap guy posting stuff about how it's very obvious Charlie Kirk is alive.
	If you follow my if you follow my impeccable reporting, you know that only the dumb normies think that Charlie Kirk is actually dead.
	Now buy my books and give me money.
	You stupid suckers.
	Because if you don't, I'm gonna grow a Hitler mustache and be a giant attention seeking piss baby.
	That's just that's just uh conspiracy theory one on one.
	Nobody who's alive is actually alive, and nobody who died actually died.
	It's yeah.
	It's it's all it's all the reverse of what you think.
	And yes, Hitler mustache.
	I I'll just go ahead.
	I would I do want to talk about that.
	Um but uh the with the the Etsy witch curse thing, it was already ridiculous.
	And the Jezebel website did have to like take that article down and put like a we didn't mean we didn't mean to make a joke untimely, but um, you know, uh did you guys see that episode of the Megan Kelly show, just the clip of her talking about how Erica Kirk was genuinely frightened about the article about the Etsy curse.
	No, I did not.
	No, but it doesn't surprise me because these Christian people are are freaking weird about that stuff.
	It's weird.
	It's a weird thing.
	It's like you're you were actually genuinely scared of the Etsy witches who are scammers for the most part.
	And this is a satirical s web feminist website.
	I mean, because these these these Christian guys, they convince themselves that witchcraft is real and has no power over them, but simultaneously needs to be destroyed.
	So it's it's they they they kinda like working themselves into a frenzy over this kind of stuff.
	Uh it's really funny that people yeah, I'm go ahead, Haley.
	Oh no, go ahead.
	I'm sorry.
	No, it's it's just I don't understand how Christians can feel this way because your guy is an all-powerful benevolent god.
	So if anything supernatural happens, he's gotta be on top of that.
	He's gotta be able to shut that down.
	I I don't underst I I see people talking about, oh pray extra hard, the demons are out tonight.
	It's like what all loving God allows demons to be trapsing around all willy-nilly in the in the ether.
	Shouldn't our benevolent, all powerful god be like, yo, demons, yep, yep, stay away from those humans, or else I'll I'll boop you on the snoot.
	I mean Well, the rapture opens up the skies, so it makes it so like I think demons can also come out, maybe.
	Oh yeah, yeah, exactly.
	Why was there topic of rapture?
	I was I've been so busy and so much has been happening.
	Why are people talking about this?
	Yes, I I did I did the calculations using the secret code of the Bible and discovered that the rapture is going to happen at 1027 tonight.
	Uh like three like three days ago, I think it was.
	Because my son comes up to me and tells me he's watching he's i I've eventually figured out he was saying rapture videos, but I think because of the the fact that I did not expect the seven-year-old to tell me about the rapture, I couldn't figure out what he was saying until he showed me the video.
	Yeah, QAA just did they I listened to yesterday, they just did a premium episode called Rapture Denied, and I was listening to, and I guess it came from some guy in like South Africa who was on like a a podcast, and he was like saying it was gonna be the twenty-third and the twenty-fourth.
	It was gonna take place over two days and stuff like that, and they they played like audio clips from all these like TikTok videos of people online.
	People are bawling their eyes out like my life is so miserable, I can't wait till the rapture comes.
	It's like you need fucking help.
	Yeah.
	Oh yeah, there's a lot of people that are like begging for death essentially, but just forgot to do it.
	It's a really unhealthy uh mentality, in my opinion.
	Oh, y you thinking that you're going to be uh removed from this life by some external force and like rewarded for your service to that being is nuts.
	It's a really strange way to live your life.
	And I mean there's a reason why it was why Christianity was forced onto slaves in America, because they had this vision of this beautiful afterlife so the shitty life that they had to live on earth wasn't as bad for some reason that's that's why that's why it was forced on them so that they would accept their place their shitty life that was handed to them that they were forced into try to explain to my son what the rapture
	is and I'm like basically all these people think the world's gonna end which I know that's not what the rapture is before anybody adds me but uh I was just trying to give him a simple version of it um but and then like and then I said to him in any way we're Catholic Catholics don't believe in the rapture so don't worry about that crap that's like that's a good response.
	Yeah yeah yeah um and and and then your dad was like but we believe that the cracker and the wine becomes Jesus's flesh and blood isn't that weird too and you were like shut up just just let it go kid okay I have to ask because it really does feel like that meme where Marilyn Manson going door to door now.
	Door to door to shock people, yes.
	Holy shit, that's what I thought of too.
	I thought I was going to like photoshop Alex Jones onto that.
	Da har vi en ny inninger på tråden her.
	Hvem er det jeg snakker med?
	Det er han, Morten.
	Han, Morten.
	Og hvem vil du gratulere i dag?
	Jeg har lyst til å gratulere ekstra.
	Ekstra har de blitt stukket av med seien i siste pristest.
	Ikke overraskende, men jeg blir så rørt av.
	Morten, du gratulerer en butikkskjede.
	Ja, det er jo billigst.
	Ok, jeg tenker vi gir oss der, ja.

	Det er Norgespris med 0 kroner i påslag, og kun 49 kroner i månedspris.
	Og bra app.
	Så da tenker jeg vi snakker forutsigbarhet på strømmeregningen.
	Norgespris eller nei, du folk.
	get Porsche um big TV concept violence anglista or mess footed seag button scope the week on like what's what's going on it's just a sad like I I honestly don't even want to talk about it because he wins if we talk about it.
	It's such sad little five year old look at me look at me I learned if I say the word fuck a lot people will get like react to it.
	So now I'm just saying it a lot it's just oh my god I just let's let's not talk about it until after then until after knowledge fight covers it and that's I would I would like I would like them to not cover it either I would like them to put Alex in time out and just do like five episodes on Project Camelot.
	Or Owen.
	Owen.
	I enjoyed the Owen.
	I just, well, I mean, let's not turn our podcast into a podcast about a podcast.
	That seems a little meta and a little hat on a hat.
	But yeah, I just, I saw that from Alex and immediately I was just, I rolled my eyes so far into the back of my head, I could see my brain.
	I just said, this is such pathetic attention seeking bullshit.
	it there's no reason to give this the time of day and every word I spend on this is a defeat for me and a victory for him so next subject how about those socks uh my my red socks they made the playoffs unlike the cub unlike the white socks were terrible and bad and it made the and make the Pope sad.
	Okay.
	Well I'm I'm glad you specified because you said how about the socks and I'm like oh shit I know nothing about the socks I don't yeah I feel like the diamondbacks because I think like they lost last night and are not they're they're out out like can't make whatever the big the big game is um they can't make it to homecoming or whatever.
	Yeah they can't they don't get to kiss the cool guy or whatever it is they don't get they don't get to kiss the guy because that's what happens in sports when you win the big game a sexy dude comes out and you're just like oh man I can't wait to smooch him I mean that's that's what I mean that's what drove Tom Brady to win seven Super Bowls was the sexy Super Bowl guy kiss after you win the championship.
	Oh yeah Dom Dom's like I'm so glad they got Bert again.
	He's got those soft lips, and he's so giving.
	He's so giving of a lover.
	Oh man.
	Uh tender yet firm, old Bert Rendles.
	That's what I've always said.
	I feel like it's a bit offensive, though.
	Like, you know how like it's a tragedy in baseball history that the Yankees didn't win in 2001.
	I feel like Arizona should win.
	You should have got the Kirk magic.
	Charlie Kirk should have galvanized the Arizona snake men to the World Series.
	Um I forgot all about that.
	That's right.
	There were people who were like, we should just let the we should just let the Mets win the World Series because of the because of the World Trade Center.
	Um I I honestly, so the what the I went to the memorial this weekend, listeners, so you better go read my fucking article.
	Um but uh it was at the sports stadium, so it was funny to like be in the place where they hold the Super Bowl for a memorial, and then there's like fireworks as people walk out, which was so fucking funny.
	Um, but I did have a question kind of for you stuff, or if anyone knows here.
	Um the Westboro Baptist Church actually did come to this and protest outside of it.
	Um it was and it was actually them.
	It was Margie Phelps, who is the daughter, the oldest daughter.
	Um, and there were kids there and stuff.
	Um they actually were interviewed and said that they did actually support Kirk's views.
	It's just they thought the event itself was an affront to God um because they're freaks in their own unique way.
	Uh and they just want attention.
	I just wanted that's what I was to say.
	What when the Westboro Baptist Church thinks you're taking it too far.
	Also, too, it's just funny that they're like, we actually loved this bigot, but like we're doing this for stunt reasons.
	Um are you familiar with like the the remnants of the Phelps clan at all stuff?
	Like are you familiar with her?
	I have a book by the daughter that came out of it.
	Like the story goes that like somebody started challenging her on Twitter and they became friends, and I think they eventually be got married, and like so this interaction on Twitter brought her out of the church and stuff, but and and I can't I I can't find this information again.
	I think I read it on Wikipedia like over a decade ago, and with Wikipedia, someone probably came in and took it out.
	So I can't totally vouch for it.
	But my understanding was the whole premise of the Westboro Baptist Church, like Fred Phelps.
	I think he was like a lawyer.
	And then I think like some of the other family members were lawyers.
	Yeah.
	The whole point, because they were lawyers, they had this idea, basically.
	Now, and this is the one, correct me if I'm wrong, this part.
	The whole premise behind the church was provoke people so into attacking you so then that you can sue them.
	Yeah, there was a lot of that, and also they're saying because they were lawyers, they knew exactly how much they could get away with without without it becoming uh with with without a you know, basically they they knew where the line was on the first amendment, so they could be as obnoxious as they could without putting that toe over the line and getting themselves in trouble.
	Yeah, and and they they would go to um right like right after 9-11, they would go to funerals of dead soldiers.
	Yeah, they went to a lot of soldiers.
	Yeah, they went to a lot of soldier funerals because they said they were protesting as uh country that allows gay people to exist or some shit like that.
	And yeah, they they held up signs that said God loves IEDs and all that kind of stuff.
	Yeah.
	Letting just trying to get some trying to get someone to punch them, just desperate for someone to just haul off and clock them.
	Right.
	Yeah, and and there's there are groups that go around.
	Like I remember for the Sandy Hook funerals, um, they They tried showing up there.
	So there's like these like biker gangs that will go.
	I don't remember the name, but there's like I there's at least one specific biker gang that goes around and they'll rev their engines super loud to drown them out.
	And then they'll have people like holding blankets or banners to block them from you know the people who could be most hurt by their presence and stuff.
	And they actually showed up in my hometown of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, sometime after 9-11, and it if they were trying to like stir something up there, and I think it was a Unitarian Universalist minister was like giving them cookies, and they got so angry by someone being nice to them.
	It pissed them off so bad.
	Uh I just looked it up.
	It's the um the Freedom Riders, they're the ones who would uh block them from soldier funerals.
	And I also I remember this clip of uh they they were prot I don't remember why, but they were protesting a foo fighters concert.
	So Dave Grohl got this flatbed truck and got a bunch of like choir singers and came out there uh and and was and sitting in the microphone and slightly he's like I don't I don't know why you guys hate me.
	I don't hate you.
	I think everybody should love each other.
	You shouldn't be protesting, you should be dancing, and then they just start doing a cover of the BGs, you should be you should be dancing, and like the they said like half the half the Westboro Baptist guys were booing them, the other half are actually kind of dancing along to it.
	They were singing at this.
	It was really bizarre to listening to them sing hymns.
	I'm looking back at the signs they were carrying.
	It's they they honestly should have honed their messaging a bit if they wanted to try to provoke someone to punch them because they just had their usual like God hates Epslers kind of shtick, and it's like, well, this probably agrees with you.
	So I I think I think more is I think now it's just more about putting their face in, you know, getting their face in the papers than uh then provoking a fight.
	Yeah, I think it's harder for them to I'm sorry, go ahead.
	Go ahead, Mike.
	Sorry.
	I was just reading um Margie Phelps, one of the Phelps kids, she actually argued a case before the Supreme Court about for them, uh Snyder versus Phelps.
	So like she that's how that's how like in it to win it they are about this stuff.
	That they were like, Yeah, we're gonna have our kid argue before SCOTUS about this stuff.
	She was the one leading the protest this uh weekend.
	Um she's the new seemingly lead.
	Uh and yeah, she was rocking the God hates Efflers.
	There was like legit actual, like, I think teenagers in there, underage people.
	Um so yeah, bummer that the family cult lives on, I guess.
	It is like mostly a family cult, right?
	But they yeah, but they have a lot of people.
	Yeah, there's like certain members of the church.
	They they're having they're what they're what they are probably experiencing right now is a crisis because you know, with Trump in power and and all the all this fucking hateful rhetoric, they're not I mean, I'm not saying they were ever need it, but their shtick as the Overton window increasingly moves, their shtick isn't gonna work anymore.
	Because number one, people are are hyped on to them, and number two, the people that they're that they're trying to offend, the reasonable, rational, loving, compassionate people, aren't in power anyway.
	Your guys are in power.
	So you know, and it it's like that that theory that like that Alex Jones secretly voted, you know, for Democrats and or you know, Rush Limbaugh would secretly vote for Democrats and stuff, because that's that's when you have your highest numbers.
	That's when you get to be your most outrageous.
	So they're they're in a they're actually in a weak spot, you know.
	I l I love that we're over a half hour into the pod and we're talking about the Phelpses, this absolutely completely irrelevant bunch of losers that no one's talked about since they started protesting Iraqi uh Iraq war uh casualties, funerals, and we're just like, hey, you know what our audience wants?
	Phelps talk.
	Let's do this.
	Let's uh let's let's talk up those assholes.
	I I remember when I lived out in Vegas, I got I got a Phelps protest.
	Um we were off the strip, There was a big church.
	I think it was Unitarian Universalists, so they're probably mad about that too.
	But uh we we drive, and there's like two cop cars like near like the entrance, and I'm like, what the shit is that about?
	And then we swing by, and then in the middle of the church, we see like the Phelps' like 12 people holding all their ultra offensive signs, and I I knew them, I knew what they were about.
	And I just yelled, Woo Phelps's go Phelpses, and then we drove by, and then as we got past them, there were two more cop cars on the other side, like monitoring to make sure nobody did anything stupid with them.
	And I was like, Man, what up, what a weird bunch of weird losers.
	So, anyhow, how about that Epstein thing?
	Isn't that a thing?
	Let's talk about that, seeing as how that's remotely topical, and the 12 people that are still listening to this begging for content that's relevant to today's issues, are like, oh my god, they're doing it.
	They're gonna talk about the thing.
	Well, honey, honey, they're doing it.
	Come back here, get back in the room.
	They're gonna do the thing.
	Wake up, they're talking about Epstein.
	Yes, exactly.
	Yeah, so uh anyhow, uh the event happened.
	Um in Arizona's 7th district.
	Uh the Democrat won by roughly a hundred and fifty percent.
	Like it was uh to say this election was uncompetitive would be uh uh uh understating it.
	How how do you say her name again, Haley?
	I've heard it like a couple times.
	Uh Autolipa, Adolita Garalva.
	Uh the last name was the one I was looking for, Garalba.
	Yeah, uh, there was no way in fucking hell that she was gonna lose.
	Tucson is considered like the blue wall of Arizona, it's like closest to the border.
	There's there's just like it's kind of like the activist scene is just like more it's smaller than Phoenix by a lot, but like it's just more active, like politically, in my opinion.
	Yeah, it it's the it's the Austin of Arizona, it's the blue dot in the in the red of Arizona, and yeah, I mean that was the thing, is like going into that election, it was like D plus 17, and she was like, 17, get the fuck out of here.
	I'm winning this thing by a million.
	So it's just like yeah.
	So uh that happened, and then uh there was all this uh reporting about how uh the Republicans uh began pissing and shitting themselves about this, and that there was a quote unquote like full court press uh to uh try to get any of the four Republicans that are on the discharge petition to uh withdraw from the discharge petition.
	And somehow, I mean, Maisie obviously wasn't gonna withdraw.
	That dude is in it to win it on this stuff, but uh somehow America's greatest hope for democracy, MTG, Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace, you know, the people I wake up every morning and I'm grateful for.
	Yes, the people that I'm like, man, what sterling representatives of America we have here, the bastions of democracy, it's the pillars of our political discourse.
	Uh those three, somehow, none of them have bent the knee and have decided to withdraw their signature from the petition.
	Uh and so after uh that all happened, and it became it it's become very clear that um they're not budging, and that uh Grivalia is Gravalta or have I god I can't say the name, sorry, but uh have she is definitely gonna be the 218th uh signature to push this thing over the top and force it to the floor.
	Uh we have now had Speaker Johnson uh declare that they may not reopen the house this week when uh it's supposed to reopen it's uh because uh she has talked about how she's like I'm I I'm flying the DC and I'm gonna get sworn in on Monday, and we're getting this show in the road, and suddenly the speaker is coming out and being like, uh, I don't know if we're gonna open the house on Monday.
	Uh we did our part with the continuing resolution.
	We don't really have any business to get to the the needs of the American people, their Congress representing them and working on the bills to make their lives better.
	We don't have any of that, so we might not reopen the house.
	And then on top of that, uh there's been some talk that Johnson and the Republicans do not are not gonna swear her in until her uh election is official, yeah, which is bullshit because uh numerous people have been sworn in with the with uh basically if you would have won the election and it's uncontested and your opponents not resisting it,
	everyone just sort of says, Yeah, you won, and we're gonna swear you in, and it's all good, we're gonna get this show on the road, and that's what happens for everybody else.
	But because this is such an important vote, uh, the insignificant for the discharge petition.
	Now suddenly Johnson and the Republicans are like, hey, until you come here with your sticker stamped by the Arizona Secretary of State saying you totally won the election and it's certified.
	Uh sucks to be you.
	We can't do anything for you, lady.
	And that's bullshit because they've never held anyone else to that standard.
	But they're real they're trying to string it out for another two weeks before they said mid-October, she'd be certified as the winner, which is ludicrous because as I've mentioned before, she won by a million.
	It was not it was totally uncompetitive.
	Yeah, and and they're not even really trying that hard to hide the reason why they're doing that.
	Just like, yeah, we're not gonna do it.
	Why fuck you?
	That's why.
	Yeah, oh yeah, you know, why aren't we certifying her?
	You know why we're not certifying her, and get fucked.
	We don't care that you know, we're not gonna do anything about it.
	How you like them apples, yeah.
	Yeah, it like it is insane that this is where we are in American politics.
	At its basic level, it's madness that we have a political party protecting it the its sex pest president, but it makes it even weirder and more fucked up that literally the right or die lunatic base of the Republican Party right now is a conspiracy theory based on the idea that rich and powerful people are pedophiles and we need to take them down,
	and now their hero, their champion, is knee deep in a scandal involving the worst uh child trafficker on earth, and is probably a pedophile himself, and they're just like no idea what you're talking about, just gonna move right along, don't care, not gonna comment on it.
	And it's like, yo, QAnon, you're right.
	The government is run by a pedophile, it's your boy, your boy.
	He he's the pedophile.
	Hey, you know that how many how many QAnon followers or people who scream about pedophiles have we seen arrest it or bust it with like terabytes of uh child porn, and it's kind of like the strink, you know.
	Oh, you you you donate to the police and the DEA to hide in plain sight that you know, QAnon is perfect for the people who actually are pedophiles.
	Yeah, QAnon is just like the show breaking bad.
	Yes.
	Uh yeah, no, I'm sorry, the the breaking bad thing just broke my brain.
	I can't remember what I was about to say.
	It was poignant and awesome, and I'm standing by the Oh god, I totally believe all of that.
	I suck.
	I am the worst co-host of this podcast.
	Eric's trench and political analysis is why we're all here.
	So yeah.
	Uh Steph, it's not you.
	My brain is a leaky sieve.
	It's not so don't blame you, blame me.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So uh I mean it's really amazing to me that these people are like I I've seen people whining and complaining, and they're just like, oh no, what are the Democrats gonna do in the midterms?
	And blah blah blah.
	And it's like uh the economy's gonna suck, our healthcare is gonna be through the roof, inflation's gonna be bad, and these people are gonna be protecting a guy from having the Epstein files released.
	I think we're gonna have a couple issues to run on.
	Think we're gonna be okay.
	I think the uh the political wins will be back our it will be at our backs in 2016 to 2026.
	Especially if we can get a unified message going for once, uh, which would just be your healthcare is through the roof, and this guy's a pedophile.
	I know it's I know it seems easy, but then like some like then like Bernie will come up and be like and be like, I think we should have Medicare for all, and all cops should be hung in the streets.
	Well, let's well let's put Uncle Bernie in the closet and lock that shit up.
	And yeah, I mean but that's but the thing is is that the right wing noise machine and and the bullshit of our world is that if it's not Bernie saying it, if it's uh Larry Seven Digits on Twitter who says we should hang all the cops, they're just gonna be like, oh, these Democrats.
	That was the thing.
	Like the whole Democrats are cheering Charlie Kirk's murder.
	It's like show us who they are.
	And it's a bunch of Reddit trolls and Twitter goons, and it's like no, there's no elected officials who are tap dancing over this.
	It's just idiots on the internet.
	It's just assholes, it's just assholes being assholes.
	They're not democrats.
	It's like you fucking liberals are celebrating.
	It's like name name an elected official who's doing it.
	Name one.
	Every fucking Senate Democrat and most of the House Democrats just voted for Charlie Kirk.
	Every Democrat in Arizona is just fucking vote.
	Yeah, right.
	Exactly.
	We we we all bend the knee to Charlie Kirk's dead body.
	Although he isn't dead and he's hanging out with Tupac and Elvis.
	We I know this, but in New Zealand.
	Right, in New Zealand.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	It's just it's like it's just this made up bullshit to get people upset and to claim that the Democrats are bad.
	Where and it's just it's the ultimate double standard because anything any goober says on social media is reflective of mainstream Democrat ideology.
	Yet QAnon is in no way reflective of the Republicans.
	And no, Trump is in no way.
	Right, exactly.
	Donald Trump himself is in no way representative of right of mainstream Republican views, even though he's a Republican president.
	It's just like, how?
	How does this work?
	Yeah, yeah, it's great.
	It's pretty magical.
	Yeah, oh god, I want to I want to clip that side.
	That's like the perfect the perfect reaction to our politics right now.
	It's just do we want to talk the Epstein book now?
	Oh, yeah, bring up hit us with the book.
	Yeah, so uh this has been your book report for weeks.
	So the floor is yours.
	I took a look through it, and you know, there's some stuff that people are showing a lot, like the um like just for a little background, just in case you're that guy who just woke up from a 10-year coma um and decided to check out this Hellworld podcast to catch up on current events.
	Um and if you are God help you.
	But anyway, um the uh this it came out that uh for Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003.
	Glenn Maxwell went around and got a whole lot of uh famous people, uh famous and just like influential people to write notes for this book that she made for his birthday.
	Uh Bill Clinton's in there, Donald Trump's in there, uh Dershowitz is in there, a few other people.
	But so people were coming, and you know, there was this big controversy.
	Trump was claiming that the that the that the poem and drawing of a naked lady that that is in there was not done by him, and uh you know, it was done by Donald T. Trump, total different person.
	So yes, exactly.
	So um moment.
	Yeah, so somebody uh I think it was PBS that I looked it up on.
	They had like the entire thing on their website, so I was I was rifling through it looking for looking for fun tidbits, and a lot of it's really hard to read because this is 2003 and it's written by a bunch of old white guys, so most of it's handwritten in uh in like sloppy handwriting, and this is photocopies of sloppy handwriting, which makes it even worse.
	But I did find some stuff aside from p the things that people have been spreading around that I thought was interesting, like um here.
	Let's see, where did I be?
	Where's the beginning of this?
	I'm trying to click back, but it was the it was the back button from the screenshot I took, is I'm a I'm a professional at this.
	Okay, so they had this one.
	Uh it's it's got this picture of Epstein.
	Apparently, he had this big huge fro uh back in the day, you know, because he's Jewish.
	Um so and and it it it reads like it's a um like it's a personals ad or something.
	It says financial strategist Jeffrey Epstein, 27 talks only to people who make over a million a year.
	Exclamation point.
	If you're a open quote cute Texas girl, quote, write this New York dynamo ad, and then there's an address.
	And it's just something about it just struck me as weird.
	Uh like like This guy uh everyone always talks about what a sexual dynamo this guy is, and he's uh he's putting out personal ads looking for a cute Texas girl.
	And then there's um yeah, this one I have seen people putting around.
	It's uh it says girls on my boat.
	We picked up girls on beach, went out on boat.
	I tell them with knife in my hand to take suits off.
	But Warren tells, don't worry, his name is JN.
	He's just joking, he live at so and so.
	I tell Mark to throw him into water, he did.
	And I mean, aside from the serial killer sentence fragments, the whole that's that's in there, it's just this.
	I think it's it's supposed to be like this cute story, like, hey, remember that time we had the girls on the boat, and I told them to get naked or I cut them.
	Power office cumprimated two minutes.
	Hey, sjef.
	Super good that you could have taken to the team now.
	Now you have the home-konto-greSQL.
	It's all over.
	There's not Jostein.
	There's not Tonje.
	I'm a face-to-face-fier.
	I'm on job now.
	No, just now I'm home for...
	I'm working a little bit like a-for-styrret here.
	So it's just a moment to open for the rødleger and see on the dusch.
	It's a need to be a chef.
	It's a regnskap.
	Power Office.
	The free and simple regns.
	Let you after a fluorotankreem that is good for both tenner and tannkjøtt?
	Parodontax is a daily tankreem with nitrogen-bicarbonate that gets four times more plak than usual tankreem.
	Smaken is a bit salt, but it's you're still alive.
	The feeling is not good.
	It's a very unique.
	Paragon Tax.
	Music There was another there was another I went through the book too, before everything happened with her.
	Um and there was another passage in there that was like a photo of him and another guy in like pantyhose and a ski mask on the room.
	Yeah, I got that in here too.
	Yeah, and they told a similar story where it was supposed to seem like homies hanging out, but they talk about like brutally attacking a woman and kidnapping her from the beach, essentially.
	Yeah, I'll I'll yeah, I'll uh I'll jump to that one since I do have since I have that one on here too.
	Yeah, it's two people.
	I think Epstein is the one on the left because it kind of looks like his face, and the other one's wearing a ski mask, so you can only see his eyes.
	But it says, Finally, at the home of our friend, let's call him Mr. Brown.
	That might be a reservoir dog's reference.
	Uh Jeffrey unveiled his plan.
	To some it may have seemed a get rich quick scheme, but to me it was pure genius.
	Rob and kill was the name of the plan.
	The first victim redacted to be attacked and brutally plundered.
	Parentheses, would she want more than that?
	On the boardwalk in Venice Beach, broad daylight, the dastardly thieves were never cut.
	Postscript.
	I retired from The Life, but I recently read an article in New York which led me to believe that my old friend Mr. E had continued on and become an industry leader.
	I'm guessing Mr. E is supposed to be Epstein.
	Um maybe this is a true story, but my guess is the guy saw this picture of the two of them dressed up like thugs and said, I'm gonna make up a funny caption about it, and that's what his twisted brain came up with, but maybe I don't know, maybe there is some truth to that.
	I I haven't heard anything about that from anywhere.
	The whole thing you've recited to me.
	Like I I I didn't go into the book, so I'm just like, wow, that's fucked up.
	That's like that's my only reaction to this.
	Yeah.
	And I mean, I mean, okay, you know, I'm a dude, I you know, I have friends who are dudes, and not when we're not when we're 50, because I'm well not even 50 yet, but you know, when we were younger, we would like to make edgy jokes, like, you know, hey, I just got a new car.
	I think I could fit four bodies in the trunk easy, you know, stuff like that.
	So a lot of this reads like that, but but it but as I pointed out, it's coming from middle-aged men, which kinda shifts the tenor of it a little bit.
	Oh, just a touch.
	Just how they're like talk sending it to a sex trafficking pedophile.
	Honestly, reading this not like reading it too.
	There's like dicks crudely drawn in a lot of the like images and just like really gross like perverted stories that it's like a lot of frat boy humor coming from guy from coming from guys who make six figures and you know and stuff.
	It's just weird.
	But uh so here's another one.
	Uh uh, this is part of a longer segment, but this was the part that caught my eye.
	Concord Hotel, Jewish singles weekend.
	Sit us down at table with ugly girls, and I told them, Don't you have any pretty ones?
	Like, and the way it reads, it sounds like he said that while the ugly girls were sitting there.
	Right, exactly.
	He's like, Yo, ughos, get away from us.
	We want the sexy ladies over here.
	Because I'm rich and powerful and can be a bully and a dick, and it's totally cool.
	The next one here, redacted and redacted.
	Two very young girls, pro oh this the yeah, this one I've seen put around, so you might have heard this one already.
	Two very young girls, probably just 17, and we're riding in my father's caddy, Park Avenue, top down, smooching it up in car, drop dead laughing.
	No, normal stuff here.
	Yes.
	Uh very normal.
	Yeah.
	Redacted the rabbi's daughter.
	So this has a farmer's daughter feel to it.
	Uh Jeff would call the house rabbi's wife, wife, maybe, I don't know, and say, This is redacted father.
	I would bring her up to your oh crap, I just lost it.
	Hang on.
	Uh I'm trying to zoom in and I lost it.
	Um I would bring her up to your mother's house and make her take her top off so we could touch her boobs.
	Her and redacted would play together with toys.
	It's like this is this is reading is like, you know, like like you know, remember remember when this happened, but it's all yeah, I see the look on Stephanie's face, and that was this written by the Marquis de Sad.
	Is this like the sequeled 120 Days of Sodom?
	That's what I'm saying.
	It's like, what the fuck are these people doing?
	That's I used to have that book, and that's how the the book there's no like cohesive plot structure that I could discern.
	Like Justine is a good book, and there's actually like an interesting parable of philosophy.
	It's a great it's well written, right?
	But 120 days of Sodom is basically it's it's like what you are writing, where it's little snippets that sound like perverted dreams.
	Like one of them is like a menstruating woman farts and then falls into a moat.
	Like it's it that that's it's exactly like the stuff that you're it's so bizarre.
	It it reads like 120 days of Sodom.
	I wonder if that's the book he wrote while he was in the asylum, because that would explain a lot.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Here's here's the thing.
	Like when I was reading through it, I was just like, this feels like I shouldn't be reading this because it's a bunch of pervs recounting their creepy pedophile perv stories with one another.
	And that'll be weird because I didn't say any of this, but it's but it's also but it's also mixed in with these touching stories from his family, like like this letter from his old teacher about how he knew how bright he was and how good he was at math, and a letter from his father saying, I am so proud of you, my son.
	And then the next letter is uh stories about chronic UTIs, prostate massage, orgies.
	That's not the whole thing, that's just the the bit that I kept.
	Um then here's another one.
	It it looks like he it's uh Jeffrey Epstein in a store, looks like he's in China or something, and he's buying something at the store, and the caption reads, Are you sure this will make my winky grow?
	You know, and then you'll read that, and then it'll be like, here's your fourth grade English teacher to talk about that essay you wrote that really touched him.
	It's just it's it's just this bizarre mood whiplash going on.
	And then here's one, uh it's a picture of Glenne talking to somebody whose face is redacted, and the caption reads, He promised you what?
	With a question mark and two exclamation points.
	And then um, why did I say and then uh this one this okay now?
	This one's messed up because this one's from like a niece or something.
	And it says uh and and it's like a picture of these people dancing.
	It looks like it's something, and and then these girls at like five girls at the top crying.
	Uh very, very stick figure little girl kind of drawing, and and it's and there's musical notes, and it says, Here comes the bride, all dressed in white, where is the groom?
	He's in the ladies' room.
	And then there's more, but I'm having trouble reading it.
	But it just, I mean, uh that's his niece making a joke about what a sex fiend her uncle is.
	It's just weird shit.
	There was other photos in there that were like uh like clearly like people getting caught in the act of like changing or something, and their note to like Epstein in it was just like, oh, basically, remember when you snuck in and took my picture, like there's no privacy around you kind of stuff.
	Like even his friends are like, you are a pervert.
	Here's one of the perverted things you did.
	Stephanie.
	Um, well, I just okay.
	What's a nice way of saying this without making it sound like I'm some big fucking weirdo.
	I know a lot about the BDSM culture.
	Let's just leave it at that.
	Um sometimes what you will see, and Epstein was in his own way involved in the BDSM culture.
	They said, like some of the books that they found were about like slave training and stuff like that.
	Oftentimes what you you will see the normal people within that subculture, and then you'll see the people that want to take it too far, you know, and that there's always this like you know, you can be a sadist or a masochist without being a completely sick individual, you know.
	And a lot of IDS cultures actually uh actually encourage you to be thoughtful and you know respectful and stuff.
	Yeah, but there are some, and and Epstein, I think was and uh and it's kind of funny because there are two Jeffries who had a very, very similar objective.
	They wanted slaves, Jeffrey Dahmer and Jeffrey Epstein, and um they both wet went about it their own different way.
	But there is millions of dollars, so you know.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But that there is this way that um that there is this point, and I think you will see it warm with rich and powerful people.
	I had a friend that used to work at a dungeon, and she said that she'd be like, There'd be lunch guys there, like on their brakes, like high-power business executives and shit, and they would want her to like beat the shit out of them.
	Once you reach this point of like supreme power, there are only two ways to go.
	You're either whipping other people or getting whipped yourselves.
	And Epstein, you know, because wealth, extreme wealth, is a disease.
	It's a it it I'm not saying that having the wealth is a disease, but what it does to you is a disease.
	It's very like that the last days of Rome, where oh, I have a million dollars, well, let's get two million, or you know, oh, I tied a girl up.
	Well, let's see what else I can get her to do, and you just keep it just keeps going, and I and I just see the with Epstein, you know, knowing about the BDSM culture.
	I just see this this for lack of a better term, a perversion of you know what it is actually intended to be.
	He didn't want to play master and slave, like the depesh mode song, master and servant.
	He wanted just like Dahmer, he wanted people to actually be his slave, whether they want it or not.
	Yeah, and I I just wanted to make the the commentary because it it's just fascinating, like you know, how I don't know, it just it weirds me out.
	Uh going back to what I was saying, um, and but yes, I do agree with everything you're saying, but um, because I've I I was glancing over this email while I was reading it, and it's a long one, so I'm not gonna read the whole thing, but it's this big email from someone who uh basically they're saying they're they're they're saying that they were trying to come up with a story that they could that they could tell that they felt like encapsulated their relationship with Epstein, and um let's see, I'm trying to find out where it actually starts.
	Uh okay, however, there was one evening which I will always which I recall always had you howling with laughter.
	We were and I'm gonna warn you ahead of time.
	There's some uh there's there's some very spicy details in here.
	Um we were in Harry's bar in London, you, me, the old man Toto redacted, and the usual extraordinary group of camp followers, Lord Vlong, Ian Crookshank, etc.
	etc.
	Somehow Toto got in into his head that redacted was a call girl that Doggy had fixed up for him.
	After dinner, we all went off to tramps and Toto and Doggy went into the back of Doggy's car with redacted sitting between them.
	Toto grinning happily at the old man, reached down and pulled redacted skirt up to her panties and put his hand on her pussy.
	The old man smiling sweetly leaned over, stuffed his hand into her pants, so that Toto found his fingers playing with doggies.
	Suddenly the awful truth sunk in, but Toto was too shocked to remove his hand, so they drove to tramps with both of them still trapped in redacted Snickers.
	This person has said with Jeffrey Epstein, he's like, this is the story that that that you know that resonates the most with me.
	Remember that time we the two of us sexually assaulted that lady?
	Wasn't that a trip?
	Wasn't that that was just crazy.
	That was just good times.
	Just partying.
	As one does.
	But that was uh a thing that came out I saw about someone saying that like Trump doesn't understand why everyone's so gung-ho for the obscene files because like the the 90s in Florida were just a different thing back then.
	And it was like, oh, there's rape in 90s.
	I remember that.
	Yeah.
	It's just uh really yeah, it's it's it's truly magical and enchanting, both of these things.
	And here's the last one I saved.
	Um mostly it's pictures, but I just it's this is the setup to it.
	So he said, uh, so in the end I have wound up with a silly excuse for a missive.
	It's this bad poem, but uh neither profound nor funny.
	But I've included a few photos that I took on my recent trip to Africa.
	They seem more appropriate than anything I could put in words.
	And then it and then following that is about seven or eight pictures of animals with either exposed genitalia or openly having sex with each other.
	It's like Jeffrey, I was in Africa, I saw animals fucking, and I thought of you.
	As one does, again, as one does.
	Yeah.
	It's just it's so it really opens your eyes to this insane lifestyle these people had, and it you kind of get to see why why why maybe people were willing to look the other way on the on the on the kitty diddly and stuff, because it's like that must have seemed kind of like just just a toe over the line in comparison to the other shit they were doing.
	Yeah.
	Party foul.
	Right.
	Exactly.
	God.
	Yeah.
	Truly absolutely just insane.
	Just insane stuff.
	And then now go Glenn had a couple of nude photos in there that were redacted, thankfully.
	But um, oh thank goodness.
	Oh boy.
	I heard that uh sorry.
	No, no, go on.
	I was just gonna repeat something I said earlier, so go on.
	Uh I heard that uh like new files that were released by the like oversight committee revealed more info about like Van and Peter Teal and Elon Musk being in some of these files.
	Yeah, I've been hearing about that.
	Like I give it like this is always my bellwether for uh for how big these stories are getting.
	My mom heard about it.
	And if my mom heard about it, then everybody's talking about it.
	That's often how I gauge my news too.
	If my mom asked me a question, like, oh boy, this is breach containment.
	Yeah.
	Oh yeah, that that's uh yeah, breach containment or or escape the bubble.
	Those are like my favorite things for like how I how I see things.
	When when my mom uh brings up something that's in the news, it really freaks me out because she's been dead for over 20 years.
	Okay, Steph, I'm not kidding, though.
	You jogging about your mommy and dad.
	My dad died only a couple years ago and I joke about it all the time.
	I literally joked about I made a joke the day he literally fucking died.
	Yeah, yeah.
	My dad and I did too, right?
	Right, right when they were declaring their dead, we looked at each other and he goes, Well, there goes our uh there goes our referee.
	It's just like the like I will not be scolded that I can't make a joke right now.
	No, like I laugh about the people that I actually love being dead, like please give me a break.
	Um and laughter is like that's part of the grieving process.
	It's actually a very I mean every comedian is depressed.
	Every comedian is a naturally depressed person.
	That's why they turn it comedy.
	You know?
	I mean, yeah.
	I'm definitely not depressed, and I don't know what anyone's but I mean a little bit of morbidity, a little bit of morbidity is actually healthy, you know.
	Yeah, like I I like like I've avoided making any kind of jokes regarding my dad being dead, mostly because I figure it would make the other person uncomfortable, not because not because I think it's over the line.
	Yeah, oh, and I'm sorry about your dad too.
	Uh we we all we we all are missing one parent here in this.
	This is the one parent podcast.
	Mike's happy about his not missing.
	Yeah, Mike's not missing him.
	I'm not missing him.
	Fuck that guy.
	I'm so glad he's dead.
	It's like the joke from office space.
	So I hear you've been missing a lot of work lately.
	Well, I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh yeah.
	No, uh it w it was really funny.
	Like a couple days ago, I don't exactly know how this like so basically my mom was like reading this book, and then she like continued in it.
	She was talking about like the hardships the characters had gone through and stuff like that.
	And then like out of nowhere, she said, like how like you didn't have a dad when you grew up.
	And I'm like, mom, I haven't complained about that in decades.
	I haven't like said anything.
	And like I'm like, how is this uh how is this book being used as like a way to like veer into some sort of like attack on me about like me complaining about being fatherless?
	And by the way, hate that guy, glad he's dead, fuck him.
	So like it was really funny.
	It was just like this really odd thing where suddenly like I I haven't I I mean I haven't complained about not uh not being and I mean a father raised me, I don't know, since my twenties, and maybe not even then, because I understood the situation was which was that like after my parents divorced, my dad fled to Arizona to avoid paying child support.
	So like uh yeah, fuck that guy.
	Have no use for him.
	So uh sucks.
	Huh?
	It's just like yeah, yeah.
	It's where deadbeats go to escape paying uh money to their children.
	I was gonna say it's where those things go to die.
	Literally.
	Well, actually, I uh he came back to Massachusetts, I found out.
	Like uh he came I don't know where he was when he passed, but I do know that at at some ill-defined point in his life, he was back around here.
	Because uh when I back when I was like breaking into capitalism and doing my doing my time at McDonald's, one of my coworkers was like, Oh yeah, I know your dad, he's pretty cool, and I'm like, No, he's not.
	Fuck you.
	And and she was like, No, I hang out with your stepsisters.
	You should like like and I'm like, I I will never do that.
	You are barking up the wrongest tree.
	And it was just like shit.
	How about that?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Yeah, how about yeah.
	So yeah, so I was just thinking, I just happened to run into a couple people who knew some old friends of mine, and it was like it was like it was like, oh hey, tell them I say hi, and then you know, here's the polar opposite of it.
	Yes, yeah, literally that.
	Yeah.
	Just like, yeah, no.
	Hard pass, hard pass on that dude.
	Uh so hey, uh why don't we uh wrap things up with the ultra exciting and very f uh entertaining uh indictment of James Comey.
	Oh, yes, for uh for criming all the crimes.
	All the the the worst crimes, like treason, uh seditious conspiracy, uh openly aiding al-Qaeda, Jay Oh oh well they got him for jaywalking.
	So I was I was trying to like sex it up a little and you're like, no, Mike, I'm gonna tell I'm gonna tell the people what he was actually indicted for.
	And it's like Jaywalking.
	No, he wasn't.
	Well, here's the thing.
	I don't think the GOJ knows what he's indicted for yet either.
	No, they really don't.
	Like, yeah.
	And the thing what blows my mind about this is it's just that we have a question.
	Didn't he actually help Trump win?
	Because he doesn't win.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Oh, go ahead.
	No, but I mean, it's just this ridiculously in like this alternate reality where I see these people posting stuff online where they're just saying, you know, no one's above the law.
	Comey, Comey knew what he did.
	This is this is the bird's the chickens coming the roost.
	And people are replying to these people and explaining how this is a sham prosecution.
	Uh the actual the actual person in that district resigned rather than try the case.
	The per the hand picked uh lawyer Trump put in that spot to do this, has never prosecuted a case in her life.
	She's an insurance lawyer.
	Her job is making sure that people haven't committed insurance fraud.
	She doesn't deal with criminal stuff.
	Um she like missigned the indictment document before the grand jury, which led to all kinds of like questions.
	And like the judge was like, If you the judge is like, is this your document?
	And she's like, I've never seen it before.
	And the judge's like, but you signed it, so how did you not see it if you signed it?
	Uh and so like the lawyer they have running this case doesn't know how to run a trial, they have no experience.
	They threw this case together because this was the last week before statute of limitations would have expired on uh the statements made in this case, which may not even be the statements from what I'm reading, because they're trying to indict him for uh like something he said in a hearing in 2020, but the people that are digging into it are saying that he was really talking about stuff he said in 2017.
	So if that's what you're indicting him for, you can't.
	So it's a mess.
	And what's really funny is I've seen um uh empty wheel, one of the like law people on Twitter, she's been saying that like if this actually goes to trial, they're gonna put Ted Cruz on the stand and destroy him because Ted Cruz was like lying his ass off trying to get like Comey to say something in this actual testimony, and it's just insane.
	And the other thing about all of this is that in Trump's first term, this whole uh perjury, false statements, bullshit.
	There uh the Trump administration at that time said that we side with Andrew McCabe.
	Um we actually that we signed with Comey against McCabe on the he said he said about who's lying about this, and they were going to try to indict McCabe over this, and then they failed to indict McCabe.
	So now, years later, they're gonna try to indict the guy that in Trump's first term they said he had the right of it in this conversation, and that McCabe was likely the one that was fudging the facts.
	Now they're gonna pivot and be like, oh no, no, we were wrong.
	McCabe was right, Comey was wrong.
	And so, like the actual charge is ridiculous, and then on top of that, Comey's lawyers are gonna have the easiest selective prosecution case in the history of the universe to make, seeing as how Trump is just constantly posting on social media, James Cobe is a piece of shit, he needs to go to jail, he needs to go jump forever for his crimes, his crimes that I demanded my DOJ charge him with, and they did because I ordered it, me, the president.
	So, oh my god, like Trump Trump is making a layup of a case, like he's lowering the rim another foot to make that layup even smoother for the defense attorneys.
	So everything about this is a joke, and yet if you go online and argue with people about this, they will act like this is a real case that was honestly made in good faith and that Comey has committed crimes and he'll be convicted for them and he's gonna go to jail.
	It's just we have broken reality.
	We do we no longer have a shared reality in this country.
	And it's really alarming that that's where we're at, where an obviously frivolous case put together just as an act of political vengeance against somebody Trump hates.
	People are just absolutely pretending, yep, totally legitimate case.
	Well well worked.
	Great job, Ms. Uh AG Bondy.
	Getting the right people to handle this.
	Uh everything's going great.
	No must, no fuss.
	We got this.
	We got this bros.
	And it's like, no, you don't got this.
	You have literally nothing.
	Uh this is the weakest tea imaginable.
	I can't wait for them to try to indict Soros for his crimes and all the rest of this nonsense they're like promising us.
	They better hurry up because Soros is like 180.
	What was that Haley?
	I said they're writing anti-ISON in his bullets right now.
	Yes, yes, exactly.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, the um uh like Trump is going after everyone he has a beef with.
	And I don't know that this is the only reason, but I don't know if you saw a few weeks back.
	It said that he was he wanted to like bring the September 11th Memorial Museum under federal control or something like that.
	And one of the reasons is because when they were going over the rebuild, he submitted his own design, and he was like really all about having this be his and stuff, and he has some kind of beef against Bloomberg, who actually helped found the museum.
	So Trump is just going after every single person that he has any type of beef with.
	Of course.
	And we were promised this during the campaign, and our media just didn't care.
	Just absolutely if elected, I will rain down my terrible vengeance upon my enemies.
	And then and the press was like, oh, Kamala's up too in Pennsylvania.
	Back to you, Bob.
	And it's like, um, can we talk about what Trump's actually prompt planning to do if he wins?
	It's like, no, we got another poll out of Nevada.
	Oh boy, Trump up three and a half.
	This is real interesting.
	It's gonna be a real barn burner.
	It's like, can we talk about the stakes and not the polls?
	Nope, can't do that.
	Fuck you.
	Just oh my god.
	Sorry, they're a little busy right now interviewing Jack Pasobia non-stop and like rewriting the history of Charlie Kirk.
	We'll have to get back to that.
	Right, exactly.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, it's great.
	It's great.
	Yeah.
	So, yep, this is our magical country.
	This is America, it's where we're at now.
	So uh it's only gonna get better.
	We got three more years of this.
	It's magical.
	I know I keep saying that.
	I'm like, we're not even a year in.
	Yep.
	And it's just fucking crazy already.
	Oh, yeah.
	I we were sorry, go ahead.
	We were promised all of this.
	We were this was all a guarantee when this was happening.
	That's elect elect this guy, and we're fucked.
	And it was like, yep, great.
	That's when they gets me, because like you know, the reporter asking him, Are you is this comey thing, you taking revenge on a political opponent?
	He's like, No, no, no, I'm not taking I never would want to take revenge on a political opponent.
	When he sat there on the on the stage and said, if you elect me, I will take revenge on all of my political opponents.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	So he's doing exactly what he said he would do, and then the uh and then the press is like, are you doing exactly what you said you would do?
	And he said no, and they're like, Okay, sir, thank you for answering my question.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Uh boy.
	Yep.
	Going great, just great.
	So anyone have anything good going on in their lives.
	Uh, my son recently joined the Cub Scouts, and we're gonna be selling popcorn for a fundraiser.
	So that's nice.
	Yeah.
	Overpriced popcorn.
	Yes, I guess that's what I said.
	Yes, they've they've changed the scout law to uh thrifty brave clean up guy.
	Yeah, the the the cubs have the cubs have gotten really crazy.
	i've tried to earn my grateful dead badge man That's Yeah, what about what about you, Seth?
	Anything uh good going on.
	Um well, I just made the um the album cover that I always envisioned making, but now I actually have the photo editing skills to do it.
	I did was that the Pantera one you showed us?
	Yeah, yeah, Panera vulgar display of flower, and he's punching a bag of flour.
	That was hilarious.
	I loved that.
	Thank you.
	I I there has to be other people out there who had that idea.
	It's just too easy.
	It's like right there.
	I know my friends always called it Pantera bread.
	And and I I made um I took my my cat's head and put it on a Barbie doll.
	Not not real, not real, digitally.
	This is all digitally.
	Um and I I like dressed her up and I made a whole bunch of dolls of my cat for my Sims game and stuff, and I'm I'm just I think I'm gonna be ready to learn Blender soon, which is like 3D modeling.
	But the fact that I'm like learning all this stuff and I'm having so much fun and I'm not letting little roadblock stop me.
	That's a huge transformative thing for me.
	So I love this.
	My only real problem with the Pantera thing you did is that you know, uh Philon Selmo is a Nazi.
	Other than that, great.
	Yeah, they did the what was it, Stormtroopers SO SOV?
	Stormtroopers of Death, yeah.
	And then and he did a Nazi salute and yelled white power at a concert and stuff.
	Yeah, um, but I but yeah, you know, I'm just making fun of I know.
	No, it's a good joke.
	It's a good joke.
	I just wish the uh source material was a bit more worthy.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I'm I've been thinking of like ways of like I want to play around with some more record covers and like maybe I'll put where's Waldo in the Sgt. Peppers album cover or something.
	I don't know.
	I wanna I want to start kind of playing around with it some more.
	You'd be about the only person who isn't in that cover, too.
	All right, Mike, you got anything you want to brag about?
	Uh I uh uh Hades 2 has reached uh version 1.0.
	It's been released.
	Okay.
	The public version of Hades is at two is out.
	Oh, you've beaten it 50 times.
	Uh I I mean I beat it 50 times in public in uh in uh early access.
	That's what I meant, yeah.
	Yeah, I I yeah, I almost um like I almost beat like the challenge mode.
	Like you uh you played Hades, so you know how you get heat in Hades 1.
	In Hades 2, there's fear.
	And um I beat like the 16 fear run, so like the the next run I have to do is the 32 fear run to beat the game at the highest level of difficulty for like a normal person.
	So I get to do that.
	Um I'm gonna try that, but it was very nice to beat the game in 1.0 and get the ending for um the after you it's because like in in Hades 2, you have two runs.
	You can go up to Mount Olympus, or you can go down uh through the bowels of the underworld and fight Kronos.
	Um beating Kronos and getting to like the storyline ending start was like oh shit, this is like what I was waiting for in early access for like years.
	So it was like, oh man, this is sweet.
	So that was like really fun, because like basically when you beat Kronos in early access, you like walked into a room and it's like game over.
	And it's like no, but now you actually get to start doing uh spoilers for Hades one Hades one for you people who haven't played that game, it's been six years, so go to hell.
	But like basically imagine beating Hades one and then not starting the Persephone storyline.
	That's basically what early access Hades 2 was.
	Imagine just beating Hades and like after you beat him, you just die, and then you just have to start the game over.
	Like so when you actually beat Hades 2 in version 1.0, you begin like your version of the Persephone storyline where like you're like, oh, this is what Melanui is supposed to be doing.
	This is how the story actually pays itself off.
	So like that's like where we're at now.
	And I'm like, oh, cool.
	So like now I only have to do this like nine more times and I'll complete the storyline.
	So that's cool.
	So yeah.
	So I was very happy about that.
	Okay.
	Haley, have you done anything?
	Any anything happy going on in Haley World?
	No.
	I've been I knew it.
	I knew it.
	I was waiting for Haley to say that she was gonna eat something, take a nap, or no.
	Yeah, well.
	Option landed hard on no.
	I still have not had an actual day off since Kirk died.
	I'm not kidding.
	Um God, that's so bad.
	Oh my god.
	That finished.
	Oh yeah, is it's just uh I do actually work in the field.
	Um, so I've been one having to deal with like a lot of stuff, just fall out here because it's the headquartered here, and he lived here, and uh then just like actually covering it like to write about.
	Uh so I've been going to like the Vigils, which there's been many, and obviously the big memorial, which wiped me the fuck out for like days, and was just disturbing on the mind.
	Um because you were grieving so much.
	I was grieving a lot, and it definitely wasn't stinky as fuck at that.
	You guys see how much trash did see that picture of big Mount Olympus of garbage.
	I literally don't even understand, like I get it, like you can't bring stuff in, but it's like, why did you bring your entire house to the thing to the to get to stand in line?
	It was wild, and it was like it's still a hundred degrees here, and it's been storming, so like everything was just hot and wet, and it was just like okay, this is the worst fucking smell I've ever smelled.
	I'm literally I have two more days of work for sure, and then I am gonna try to sleep on Monday and Tuesday, and it's gonna be awesome.
	Actually, I'm gonna try to sneak in as many days of sleep next week as possible.
	Um, but I'm about to go see a friend, so I did my hair kooky, and you guys got to kind of see that build up as we did the pod.
	Yeah, I was wondering what you were doing.
	I thought you were like checking for lice or something.
	I'm a guy, so my my hair care consists of running my fingers through it, you know, in the morning.
	You do you do cool stuff your hair though?
	Are you going to see what's her name?
	I I you don't have to mention her name, but the one that the girl that we hung out with the last time I saw yeah, we like to look at I forgot her name, but I I'm sorry that I forgot her name, but tell her I said hello.
	I will.
	Yeah.
	My partner in crime, as I call them.
	You guys always you guys oh like I the last time uh we hung out, she was kind of like dressed like a clown or something like that.
	Like you guys always do this cute little thing, like when you go out and it's so adorable.
	We do, we look we do a lot of people are always like, Wow, you guys got a lot going on.
	Yeah, that's what I'm looking at.
	I'm gonna see my friend, which is fun.
	That's I I I love I love that we had to like like suss that out of Haley.
	That her immediate Haley, anything fun going on?
	No, fuck off, and then and then like five minutes later, oh no, I'm actually gonna hang out with my bestie, and that's why I've been getting all glamed up for her.
	It's gonna be great.
	Just the fact we have the we Haley's just an onion, you just gotta peel back so many layers until you get to the actual like non uh nihilism, non-resentment at society.
	Like an open beneath the Daria is a strawberry shortcake.
