Adventures in HellwQrld Presents: MedBeds! Also more Kirk.

This week Mike, Eric, and Steph talk about Trump posting a video about MedBeds and how this is absolutely insane and should be a national crisis, but it won't be because the media loves Trump. We also dig into more conspiracies around Kirk's murder and the government shutdown and all the fun that's causing. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/hellwqrld. Hosted on Acast.

you you Thank you.
The Adventures in Hellworld podcast talks in depth about QAnon.
While it's meant to be comedic informative, sometimes we have to get into things like child abuse and violence against people.
Listener discretion advised.
Hello everybody, I am Mike Reigns, aka Pokerman Politics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
This week I am joined by Eric, the Deep State Operative.
Yes.
Today the role of Haley, the first introduce will be played by me.
Yeah.
And we're also joined by Steph, who appeared to step on attack or something a second ago while muted, because she just made this horrible wincing face like she had just inflicted incredible pain on herself.
Oh, I make faces like that all the time.
That's how I tell people I'm happy.
Okay.
Good to know.
One of her enemies is uh testing out the voodoo doll.
Uh-huh.
I was actually I think that face was actually in response to the fact that it didn't take 15 minutes to introduce me.
I had that thought too.
Well, I mean that that's that's just because we are like uh we we're d we're we're down a person, so we gotta Yeah, Haley's usually one brings up the banter, then Mike and me just kind of stare at each other coldly from across the room.
Oh no.
Yeah, hush you.
You're you're you're full of bants.
What are you talking about?
Oh my god.
I I I I'm I'm the one who was literally sitting in the cuck chair while you and Steph were talking for 30 minutes in the pre-game before before we started the show, so like don't don't d don't act like you're not a part of the problem.
You're part of this crime here.
I know, I know.
Uh back when I uh would do a weekly uh roleplaying night, um, I was usually pretty bad about having any you know uh contributing to only being 20 minutes of actual roleplaying, with the other three and a half hours being me making cracks about everything happening.
What I really enjoyed about my like time in like the role-playing world was watching the people who actually cared about their characters and the people who just wanted to roll the dice and kill things.
And so we talked about the people who were role-playing R-O-L-E role-playing, and the people who were role-playing R-O-L-L roleplaying.
My barber wants to hit something with her sword.
Can I do that yet?
And it's like okay, Bob, you know, we're we're getting to it.
We're getting the fight's gonna happen any minute now, but but Jimmy here is actually trying to parlay with the king to grant your party safe passage to this other realm.
And he's just like, let me know when I can fucking kill some cobalt.
This shit sucks.
And it's like, yeah.
Why are you even Doing this if all you want to do is roll a die every now and then.
There are so many board games that will avail you of that ability.
And it's just like eh.
Yeah, I knew I knew several people who were like that.
And the usions didn't last very long in our groups.
Uh, largely because of the the acidine comments of my friends and we were making, but also because we we are we were also to a certain extent interested in the role-playing part of it too.
Right.
I mean, that like that was the thing.
It's like when I there was a game called Uh uh All Flesh Must Be Eaten.
Yes.
And uh I was the DM, and you'll be shocked to find out that L and one other player in my group of five were the were the two guys that actually worked on their characters.
So, like basically L and the other guy were like the two arms of Atlas holding up the party of five, and the other three were just sitting there waiting for their turns to shoot stuff.
I mean, in their defense, they probably expected a game about zombies to have a lot of shooting involved.
Oh, I I oh I'm sure well it was really it was a running joke, like one guy got his character killed like every third or four uh fourth uh succession, and he would immediately re-roll a new character that had fast reaction time and situational awareness.
Every single character he had would always have those perks.
And it was like, Yes, I understand you're a gun on legs, we get it.
Like but it it still hasn't it still hasn't saved you.
Elle is still on his character that he's had from the start, and his character is not a gun on legs, but he's not a moron, so he doesn't get himself killed the way you do.
Remember, they had uh they had a joke like that in uh their the remake Voltron series that Netflix had where there's this one episode where they're uh where they're playing a role-playing game, and uh the the one like the the leader guy, he's not really too experienced with it.
He makes a paladin and gives them like a cursory backstory, and then the guy dies, so they're like, so he makes a new character who's the like the twin brother of the paladin with a one-letter different name and the exact same backstory, and everyone's just kind of like, oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
Yeah, we're we're we're not we're not getting anything more out of you, so why would why would we even think we would?
Yeah.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with it with making the same guy over and over.
I knew a guy who would do that.
Every character is basically the same person, but he had fun.
He showed up every week, he didn't drag it down, you know.
So it was cool.
Yeah.
So uh any good stuff going on for you, Eric, this week.
Um, you know, I've actually been thinking about that.
Uh I mean, like, things are going pretty good.
I've I've been just super busy because I'm back, I'm back in uh college, so I'm juggling that a job, and you know, making time for my family too.
So I'm I'm too busy to have a good time, basically.
Yeah.
How are you doing, Steph?
Anything good going on?
I'm still having fun making stuff for my game, but the company that makes my game was just sold to Jerry Kushner in Saudi Arabia.
So today I purchased my very last uh expansion pack, and there will be no more after today that I purchased.
Sims is electronic arts, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, and they kind of had a they had kind of a controversial history even before that, so um it's kind of dicey from the beginning, I guess.
But the one the one good thing, and there there was a good article in Slate that I read.
Um what the Sims when when the first one came out in 1999, it was the first video game to ever allow for same-sex relationships, and that trend has continued for all the different versions of the Sims.
And now in the in four, you can have top scars, you can customize your gender, you can customize your pronouns.
It it there it's it's actually been helpful to people who are trying to understand their own gender or sexual identity, and um now it's insult to the country that helped fund 9-11 and who constantly demonizes LGBTQ people.
So it's it's really really sad.
Yeah, I hadn't considered it from that point of view.
That is a good point.
Uh and and I remember playing the original Sims and finding out about that uh same-sex thing by accident because uh I I started off at this house with these two male roommates, and then one of them started into a relationship with a neighbor.
Um, And unbeknownst to me, the other roommate.
It was funny because the one roommate had fallen in love with the other roommate, but the other, but the other guy couldn't stand him.
Just I guess the person something about the personalities mixing.
So there's this part where the girl comes over and the one guy gives gives her a hug, and I see the other guy like walking towards them very quickly.
I'm like, what's he doing?
And I click on his character and says, he's about to go slap the girl.
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Okay.
Let's pump the brakes here.
This is this was not what I had intended on doing in this game.
I had not expected some uh bye love triangle going on in my game.
And and there are a lot of people, like there are there are some people who make their own, like I make my own content, but I'm not actually making it making it like I'm not making the 3D meshes for it.
I'm just doing the colors and stuff.
But there are people who make a lot of money through their Patreon for subscriptions to their stuff.
So it's gonna it could affect them.
Um there's there's it it's just it's a safe haven for for some people.
It's a it's a good escape.
It's it's a way to learn, you know, and it's um it really it really is a and I keep telling people it's not just a game, like there it there's much more to it for a lot of people than it just being a game.
Yeah, and they also make plants versus zombies.
So that's sad too.
I never realized that the plants vs.
Zombies is the same guys.
And um Alice, um the madness returns, the one with the insane Alice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The uh the the twisted version of uh Alice in Wonderland.
Alice and Wonderland.
Learn your comms.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Okay, so what about you, Mike?
Anything going on good for you?
Uh I got credits on Hades 2, which was fun.
Um, Hades would be your answer.
You well, you didn't.
You didn't.
If you had, you would have said it.
You'd been like, I was I was I was thinking about it, and then but I was like, no, he's already started talking, I'll wait.
Fair, fair.
But yeah, no, uh yeah, because I had done early access and they didn't like scrub the character, I was like way ahead of the game.
So it was gonna be pretty easy for me to get the credits, and I did.
And uh they were it it's it's great.
I mean they did everything you'd want in the game, and then they hit you with the justification why you can keep playing the rogue like over and over again.
Which given the fact that the main uh antagonist in the game is Kronos, who is the Titan of Time.
It was like you're like, there's a million different ways you can go with this to make this like a time loop where you have to keep fighting him over and over again.
But the way they did it was actually like pretty cool, and I really did enjoy the resolution to the storyline and all that stuff.
So there's a little more to do, but again, because I was uh pretty far ahead of the game.
Uh I'm pretty close to like you I'm pretty close to beating the entire story at this point because it's like it you you know from Hades One that you get credits when then there's still a lot more work to do to beat the story.
So like that's where I'm at right now is like completing the story part of it.
And did they play do they play a really epic song over the credits again?
Oh, of course they do.
Of course they do.
The the credit payoff is hilarious.
Like in in in in Hades, you kind of probably knew how it was gonna work out.
Yeah, you you you don't know how the payoff in Hades 2 for the credits scene is gonna work out, and when you get it, you're like, oh wow, that is nuts, and then like the the big song hits and the credits roll, and you're like, oh, slam.
Yeah.
Yeah, I just want to say for anybody listening to this show who hasn't played Hades and has no interest in playing Hades.
I would Recommend looking up uh the what's the song called?
It's in the blood.
So yeah, in the blood.
Yeah, I would recommend looking it up because it is an incredible piece of music, and it's got like the like it's not just the there's actual storytelling going on in it.
It's a great song, even if you don't give a flap about the game itself.
Right.
It's like it's like uh still alive from Portal, yeah.
It's just like the song transcends the game.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh it's very funny that you bring that up because um mild Hades stew spoiler, but you should play the you should play this game because it's incredible.
Uh so you obviously are going into the underworld to fight Kronos.
The second boss in the game is uh Scylla and the Sirens.
Uh and they're a band.
And when you fight them, they play they're actually playing a song as you fight them, and then after you fight them a few times, they write a song about you, and it's a dis they write a disc track about the protagonist, and it's incredible.
And then when they got to 1.0, they made more songs.
So like Scylla and the Sirens is like the most hilarious boss fight I've seen in a long time.
So it is so good.
It's kind of like K-pop demon hunter, except I'd probably actually want to listen to it.
Yeah, yeah.
I've actually like tortured my friends who don't even play the game.
I've like I've sent them the videos of the uh I've sent them like the YouTube clips of the songs.
It's it's great.
So yeah, uh, but yeah, um the Hades series are great.
And it like they were people who are like, I don't know if Super John's gonna make a sequel.
It's like, how do you not make a sequel when you've made a really successful game?
You've got to print that money while you can.
So uh good on them, and yeah, stack that paper.
So that's like asking, is it gonna be a sequel to the matrix?
Like oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, that what was really funny about that was like the Wachowskis were just like ah, we're good here, and then the studio was like, Here is a bag of money, write some dog shit.
And then Wachowski's were like, You got it, boss, no problem.
Yeah, so uh, so anyhow, that was enough happiness and fun and all that good stuff.
Time to get into Hellworld, time to enjoy the actual nightmare that is the consequences of all us dumb dums not doing enough to prevent Donald Trump from being re-elected as president.
Oh, you I just realized you missed out on a segue there.
You could have said, speaking of descending into Hades, let's talk about it.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, be you see, I'm not good at this.
I'm very bad at my job.
So yeah, but yeah, boy howdy.
Uh so uh um Eric, uh hit your shout out.
Start start us down this dark road.
I just realized I was I was muted.
I'm an expert at this too.
Yep.
So uh yeah, I noticed on the uh on the episode we did last week, there was one entire comment on uh Spotify from uh Green Pirate asking that we talk about uh Donald Trump retweeting medbed conspiracy theories on true social was it Green Pirate or Grass Pirate, Grass Pirate, sorry, thank you.
I'm glad I said it to you because I knew I was gonna get it wrong.
Yeah, I apologize.
Yeah, we we love you, Grass Pirate, and we we we will go by your uh uh preferred uh nom de pleurer on the internet.
Yes, I'm sorry I dead named you.
Yes, so anyhow, um so what happened over the weekend was our president, and I want I like this is the thing that like drives me up a wall about all of this shit.
Is that our media has made it abundantly clear that literally every other person in my life who has ever sought to hold the office of president of the United States has been held to a sort of standard where one of those things that you have to do in order to become the president is not be a fucking insane moron, and For some reason, Donald Trump was never held to that standard.
For some reason, it was just sort of like, ah, grandpa's losing his marbles.
Ain't that a lark?
Ain't that a isn't that just hilarious?
And so over the weekend, he posted a video of himself being interviewed by Laura Trump, his daughter-in-law.
And the conversation was about meds.
And the and it was AI.
It was very obviously AI.
Trump's voice is not very Trumpy in the video.
And the video talks about how very soon these medbeds are going to be rolled out.
And you, as an American citizen, can apply for a card to have access to these med beds.
And they're going to do phenomenal work and they're going to get everyone in tip top shape.
Tippy Top shape.
That would have been a great cue proof if they had said that.
And bingo bango, we're just gonna make America great with these med beds.
And this video went up and it stayed up for about a day and a half or so before Dan Scavino or whoever finally got word that yeah, this is a bridge too far, and they pulled it.
And uh today Trump uh Levette, uh Karen Levette, the uh press secretary was asked about the medbed video, and she blurted out a bunch of words salad about Donald Trump being very transparent and did not answer the question about why he posted a video on medbeds, and then why did he take down the video on medbeds?
Because those are the real questions that need to be answered.
Frankly, I'm amazed that any reporter brought it up at all.
Yeah, the fact that they deigned, they deigned to touch this with a 20-foot poll is incredible.
Now, there might be some people, and God help you if you're one of them, who are listening to this and saying, Mike, what's a med bed?
And boy, I don't know how you found this podcast, but it this is a humdinger of a first episode for you.
So uh medbeds are a conspiracy theory created by Illuminati believers and other uh reality denying nuts that uh our government and all governments of the world basically have access to super futuristic technology that they either obtained themselves,
uh, or obtained it from aliens or from demons, or some other uh extraterrestrial power or supernatural power bestowed these uh things on them, and that the medbeds can heal any illness, um, fix any malady.
They're basically immortality devices, they are like the Lazarus pits from Batman that Raz Alghoul uses to keep himself useful and vigorous, and go ahead, Steph.
I was just gonna say also Stargate and Fifth Element have medbeds in them, and uh Elysium.
Elysium's the big one because literally everyone literally everyone reacted to this by saying, This is the fucking plot of Elysium.
Yeah, what is the president doing?
Oh, and also if you have more questions about medbeds, we did do an in-depth uh episode about it, so you can uh look through us at your favorite uh podcast supplier and look for that episode.
Yeah, so yeah, this is what uh this is the this is the nonsense that Trump posted, and this isn't even the like the bullshit QAnon riling up nonsense where he just posts the thing where it's like we go one, we go all, trust the plan.
Where he's just winking and nodding at nuts who like believe in what he's doing and think he's actually going to like crush all his enemies.
Meanwhile, they're sitting there going, oh man, these false claims charges against James Comey are gonna bring down Hillary Clinton, we're gonna get him, guys.
Yay!
It's a buddy, like you'll be lucky if James Comey spends a day inside a courtroom, much less a day inside a prison cell.
Calm down.
But like that shit is at the very least based in the reality that QAnon exists, and that like riling up QAnon supporters is a thing that makes Trump happy because they're his voter base, and he's gonna need them to like be the vanguard for the for Operation Illegal Third Term when he goes for it after the 2026 midterms.
Um yeah, that was a quick little segue we can make here is that um during this uh government shutdown.
Uh he like like showed uh Jeffries and Schumer some Trump 2028 hats and was like ah and like everyone was like, Oh shit, he totally owned those gems with those hats.
Oh, slam.
And then they were talking to JD Vance about it, and then like a reporter said something to Vance, and he was like, they were like, Do you like the hats, JD?
And he was like, ha ha ha ha!
No comment.
And it's like, oh, you cuck, you absolute spineless sack of shit.
I mean, it's so funny to me that he has to do this song and dance, because it's like in any in any political party where the people in that party had any spines whatsoever, JD Vance would be like, look, he's term limited.
I'm the vice president, I'm the era parent.
In 2028, I'm the front runner for the nomination.
Anyone who wants to fuck with that can go fuck themselves.
I'm JD Vance, I'm your next president.
Like, like, suck on these, like, buddy.
But nope, JD Vance doesn't have that kind of salt in him, he doesn't have that kind of gumption.
So they're like, hey, JD, you're just gonna be vice president until Trump dies.
That's basically your like lot in life, ain't it?
You're just Trump's cuck.
And JD's like, yes, I am gonna go gonna go sit in the chair right now and just watch.
Just watch Donald Trump and the presidency make sweet sweet love to each other illegally for a third time.
And yeah, I I just it just made me like laugh so hard that he just can't bring himself to it.
I mean, literally, he teal and all the people around Vance are just sitting there going, come on, swollen ankles, come on hand bruised, you can do it, make this easy for daddy.
They've been they've been hitting with that stuff a lot too this week because uh I mean, I'm sure we'll get into it more later, but uh somebody asked him about um what Pete Heggseth said about uh about how you know soldiers shouldn't have any facial hair, and they asked uh Vance, who is you know bearded about that, and he was like, Oh, I must have missed that part of this speech.
But it was a great speech.
Oh, what a jolly shape.
Yeah, like that all like that that kind of really always like struck me as very odd because it's been we haven't had an unshaven vice president or president like a like a century, and then when they picked Vance for the vice presidency and he didn't shave,
I mean it really just felt like yeah, we got this in the bag, we we don't have to do anything because it's been a unit, it's been like literally a consensus for like almost a century that women like their male politicians clean shaven.
Yeah, I think it was the last president to be to have a to have any facial hair, right?
So it's like so if uh Trump has the magic Big Mac, we're gonna get our first bearded president in a dog's age.
And like, and and boy, howdy, won't we be blessed?
What a lucky what a lucky nation we will have be to have President Vance, his steady hand on the wheel taking care of everything for us.
You mean Peter Teal's steady hand on the wheel.
Oh, oh man.
Like the thing that's really funny to me is people are like, well, Vance will be sane, and it's in like that might be maybe true that Vance is lucid and not nuts the way Trump is.
But you don't like no one understands, like no one, no one except me, the smartest man in politics, Mike Reigns, and humble, very humble too.
But uh like Trump's approval rating is always around like 40% because he gets into office, and then like five minutes later, people are like, Why the fuck did we do that?
Oh my god, oh I can't believe we did that again.
Oh, this guy sucks.
And it's like, yeah, you did it.
Congratulations, great job.
Good good job, everybody.
And then everyone's just like, oh man, now we gotta wait four years to get rid of this guy.
And it's like, yeah, if you're lucky, if you're very lucky.
But still, there's 40% of America that's just gonna like ride or die with Trump no matter what.
And the problem is is that if he if the magic Big Mac gets him, about 39% of those people are gonna think that JD Vance killed him.
Like that's just like Donald Trump could be like attention, American people, I'm doing a Biden impersonation, but just take it for Trump.
Like Donald Trump be like, look, everybody, just got the diagnosis from a doctor, I have a terminal form of cancer.
That's just it.
Sometimes the breaks just go against you in life.
I'm resigning from the presidency.
I hold no ill will towards anybody, it's just the way it is.
Vance is taking over.
I'm gonna go head off into the sunset and spend the my remaining few months with my family.
God bless America, and literally everybody in QAnon and Maggie's gonna be like, fucking prick murdered him.
I fucking know it.
Fucking knew he did it.
Fucking fancy piece of shit.
He could live stream every second from that announcement until his death, just have it on a live stream 24 hours a day.
People could watch every single thing he did, like, oh look, he just farted.
Oh, he farted again.
That's so cute.
And people could see him die on video, and they'd be like, you know, there was that that one frame with that shadow.
Right.
That it was that bastard.
Right, exactly.
Like when Trump was given that speech, you couldn't see the deep state with their knife to his granddaughter's throat.
Right, exactly.
Exactly.
Like they're yeah, yeah, like like where was Baron?
They had Baron hold, they had Barron in the bunker, they're like, make your grand make your father give up the presidency or you're dead.
Like all of it, like they're there, like there would be there would be no placating these people.
There is like, I mean, we're we're gonna get into some Kirk bullshit at the end of this episode, but like there is nothing that Trump Trump leaving the White House by any means is unacceptable to these people.
They look at this like nearly he's 79, so this nearly 80-year-old man who is aggressively overweight, not cognitively lucid, and like has aggressively swollen ankles from a circulatory problem has to offset the idea of physical fitness.
Hey, hates exercise, thinks that your body has a finite source of re and of energy, and then if you exercise, you're bleeding that energy off and killing yourself.
And so he actually does believe that we're not saying this for hyperbole.
Right.
This this is like literally that that the South Park Mormonism episode where they're flashing on the screen.
They really believe this.
Yeah, that's a this is a real belief of Donald Trump's that you your life your life force inside your body has a finite resource, and if you use it up, you die.
So uh yeah, it's great.
But yeah, the this the fat sedentary blob that is almost 80 in the White House currently, with one medical condition they admit to, and another medical condition that they literally lie to us about and say, Oh, he just shakes too many hands.
That's why his hand has an unhealing bruise on it always that we spackle like bronzer on it, like his face makeup we put on his hand to try to hide it from you.
And it's just um and and it's obviously painful because uh I I can't remember if I've mentioned this on the pod before, but I know I have talked about it before, but uh the way if you if you notice when he's sitting at the the resolute desk, he he doesn't put his hand on top of the other hand,
he kind of tense his hand over it, like he doesn't want to actually touch the back of his hand, and and uh as someone with eczema who has had you know like very painful uh like cuts on my on my on my body from scratching so much.
I I know what he's doing and why he's doing it, and it's because it's too painful to touch, but he's also trying to hide it at the same time.
Right.
When I have blood taken, I have to have it taken out of my hand.
I just had to get a blood lap done last week.
And that is like one of the most painful places to get it taken from.
If he's it and if the bruises are from an IV injection, that is gonna be sore.
And there's also a chance that the the blood vessels there can kind Of like not blow up or explode, but kind of swell.
They they will swell.
And I'm an easy bruiser.
I just I barely have a bruise from last week.
I had the world's best phlebotomist.
But when you get it out of your hand, that that bruising, and that is a painful, painful place.
Yeah, and apparently, uh if I mean the main theory about what's going on is that Trump is getting injections in the back of his hand of some kind, like be it like IV or some kind of drug that he's being treated with, and if they have to put that into your hand every month, that sucks.
I mean, that's like a serious thing.
And that's why it's really interesting that the press that the press secretary was willingly saying, like, yeah, he has a circulatory issue, which is why his ankles are huge, but we're not we're gonna just we're gonna tell you the truth about the angles, but we're just gonna lie to your face about his hand, and the press is just gonna eat shit and acknowledge that his hand too many handshakes is the hand excuse, which is just like yeah, tell me another one, buddy.
I mean, like what what are we doing here?
I think I think people I you know, and I know I'm leaning into conspiracy theory stuff here, but uh, but I mean they uh from what I heard the the thing the causing the swelling ankles is usually not that serious, which which would hit that if they're talking about that and not the other thing, the other thing is probably more serious.
Oh, yeah, exactly.
I mean, the old admit to a lesser crime to hide the bigger crime of Dodge.

So cop view group, oh book and flit the pratar.
And for state of cobblit, yeah.
Hold my electro.
For the ice dicking.
I could yeah.
It's all of it is not great, all of it is bad.
But this is the situation we're in where you have this like obviously physically unwell man who is also obviously mentally unwell, because there is no justification for why he posted this video online.
There is none.
Like, did he think he actually had this interview with Laura Trump?
Was he tricked by the AI into posting it?
Because if he was 25th Amendment, if he thinks that med beds are real, and this is a technology that the government is going to release to us, he is insane.
25th Amendment now.
There is no reason, there's no reason he can he can tell us about why he did that.
That is a good one, which is why the press is gonna drop this so fast because they don't want to embarrass him.
But I mean, literally the only excuse you could possibly have is oh, I thought I I saw something about medicine in myself, and I just reposted it.
It's like so you're an idiot who just posts anything you see online, you're literally my racist uncle, as it were.
I mean that's what I was gonna say.
I assumed he didn't watch the video, he just saw himself talking out Fox News and said, Oh, well, this must be something positive about me, so I'll just retweet it.
Right.
But I mean, of all the things to retweet, this is literally the worst because on top of what it is, there are a lot of people inside conspiracy world, not just QAn, but like the entire uh reality attacking right wing media echoes ecosystem that thinks med beds are real and are are looking forward to them because they have family members who are chronically or terminally ill,
and they're like, Oh, thank god, my mother is gonna live now.
Her terminal cancer will be swept away by the med beds, and then on top of that, you're going to have scammers who are gonna tell those people, I will let you cut in line to the front of the line to get a med bed for the low, low price of ten thousand dollars for your med bed card.
So you are giving false hope to so many people inside of the of MAGA, and you are emboldening the scammers inside that movement to rob their audience.
Yeah, the med beds thing does real harm because there's people out there refusing legitimate medical treatment because they think that if they just wait long enough, the med beds are roll out and they'll and they won't have to ever see a doctor again.
Right.
They think that regular doctors are murderers, and they think that these med beds are real health care, and that's where we're at in America right now.
That people have been brain poisoned to this point, and yeah, it's really not great, it's incredibly bad.
So um everything about this sucks.
Uh, this is something that I am going to be banging my clog on the table about for basic, I don't know, for the next decade or so.
That the president, that's the thing.
It's like don't don't normalize it or don't lessen it by saying Trump did this.
No, the president did this.
The guy that runs our country that we elected into power to run our nation.
That guy literally just posted out meds will make you well again.
I'm Donald Trump, and I love meds.
It's like, holy fuck.
Like, if you were the mayor of a small town, they would 5150 you after you did that, they'd grab you.
You you would no longer be the mayor, like you can't do this and still hold office, and yet, like, because of the unbelievable amount of bullshit this administration generates.
This is gonna be a story that like literally I am gonna be harping on for the next like little while for everybody else that's gonna be on to the next thing, he's gonna drone strike some more people like in South America or something, and yeah, it is it sucks, it is so bad, it's just ah yes, and it's so great that we have to keep talking about this over and over because idiots keep bringing it up, including the president of the United States, right?
Exactly.
That's the thing.
It's just like are uh will anyone hold this man to that standard that he is literally our avatar in the name in the world.
This guy, and that guy is like out here posting about meds.
Go ahead, Steph.
Okay, I just wanted to clarify when Eric said why are we still talking about this because idiots are forcing us to.
He was not referring to the person in the comments.
No, who suggested this topic.
No, no, I absolutely was not.
No, that is correct.
Because as I was listening, I was like, I hope that person isn't thinking that like we mean that don't mean you, man.
No, no, no.
No, I uh no, I I I love you like uh brother andor sister, even though we've never met.
And I would never say anything bad about you like that.
No, I meant I meant the people propping up this conspiracy theory and promoting it.
Uh yeah, so thank you for that clarification.
Yeah, yay, just so great.
Yeah, it's uh yeah, it's a magical time, magical time in our beloved nation where you literally uh, as I said about this, when he posted the videos of uh Chuck Schumer, AI deep faked talking about how much Democrats suck and how everyone hates them, and at Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero and all that like delightful stuff, and then and then JD Fance going, I I don't see how that could be racist.
What are you saying Hakeem Jeffries is Mexican?
I I don't I don't get it.
Yeah, it's yeah, it's lovely.
I mean, yeah, and thank and just it's like I mean and Trump did great with minorities in this election.
So I like apparently this is what people want.
Apparently, people just want this kind of stuff.
Ah, that crazy racist.
Ah, he's adorable.
Ah, what a scamp he is.
So yeah.
Um just watching the world slowly break before your very eyes.
Uh I I saw uh like about a half hour before we went on, I saw that Trump's debating and trying to do a stimulus check because he's destroying the country so bad, he's just gonna try to throw money.
Donnie, I don't care about inflation.
Well, do it up, son.
Ship me a pile of money, and I'll still hate you.
But I want my I want my bag of money that's gonna be immediately devalued by the fact that like doing that is like literally the most inflationary thing in the world.
And we were told that inflation was why he won the election.
That like the American people were mad that Big Mags costed uh 350 instead of 275.
So 75 cents more for my Big Mac.
Fuck you, Biden Harris, get out.
I gotta get Trump back in there.
So uh man, after I get my $2,000 stimulus check from Trump and my Big Macs for five bucks a pop.
Don't want to hear anyone complaining.
Don't want to hear anyone saying, ah, Trump ain't that bad.
It's like, hey, you literally put him in the power over a 350 big Mac, so a five dollar Big Mac should mean permanent democratic majority for the next 20 years.
Yes.
Uh so yeah, uh, all of this incredible.
So, anyhow, uh, it's time to talk about the shutdown.
And uh Steph brought it to my attention that odds are people don't really understand how this works and what's going on.
So uh basically we have a budget, and that budget funds the government for X amount of time, and generally speaking, uh these budgets uh are uh then extended by what's called a continuing resolution, where you just say, ah, the current budget's fine, we're just gonna pass it again, blah blah blah.
And so basically what happened was is we were running to the end of the current budget.
I might be getting this a little wrong, but and but again, this is an entertainment podcast.
The main civics lessons coming in a minute.
So what happened was the Republicans have passed a continuing resolution bill to keep the government funded, and but the bill they've passed cuts out the subsidies for Obamacare or the ACA as people who don't want to trigger people by calling it Obamacare call it.
And the Democrats were like, hey, can you leave those in?
We don't want people's health care uh prices to go up astronomically.
And I've seen a lot of people talking about how your premium might triple if the current budget goes through as it is, and I've seen other people saying that's bullshit, and if it is happening, it's because of Obamacare, we need to repeal that.
And it's like, oh, we then where's your plan?
Trump's been president or running for president for the last 10 years.
He should have a health care plan by now.
It's coming out of two weeks.
Two weeks, exactly.
In two weeks, we're gonna have the health care plan.
I thought his health care plan was just everybody dies.
It is, but he can't say that that's not that's uh that that's not uh very politically appealing to say that, but uh anyhow.
So uh the thing about this is is you might be saying, but Mike, the Republicans control all of Congress, so why is this a problem?
And the answer is is because this continuing resolution is a regular kind of bill in the Senate, and thanks to the magic of the Senate being designed to crush all our dreams and to prevent anything good ever happening in our nation.
You need to bring you need to beat the filibuster to get any bills through the Senate that are not reconciliation bills, and this is not a reconciliation bill, so you need 60 votes, and the Republicans only have 53 Republicans.
I know a few Democrats have like crossed the lines, but Rand Paul countercrossed them and also voted no against this.
So um we do not have 60 votes to break the filibuster, and as a result, uh the filibuster is currently maintained.
So the house that's Republican trolls it and doesn't have any bullshit like that.
The House is a simple majority majoritarian um situation where you if you got the votes, you can pass it, and there's nothing can stop you.
But the Senate does have the filibuster, so basically the Democrats are like, look, we will pass this bill exactly as it is if you just add the ACA subsidies to it.
And the Republicans' reaction to that is go piss up a rope.
So this is where the standoff is uh like Republicans just want to have this giant like bomb of an economic problem go off in their faces because they've hated Obamacare, they want to blame Obamacare for these problems, but the problem with that is you run the government, so where's your better than Obamacare alternative?
How are you gonna fix this so that it isn't broken?
Like again, as Trump said at the debate against Kamala, he has the concept of a plan, has the concept of a plan for health care, and so that is where we stand right now.
Is uh the Democrats are not giving the Republicans enough votes to pass this in the Senate, and the one really important thing to note here is that some democrats have made this point is that Republicans can, if they want to elect to abolish the filibuster.
You only need a majority of votes to change the rules on how the Senate conducts business.
So if Republicans wanted to be like, you know what?
Fuck it.
The filibuster's gone.
All in favor, I we got we got 53.
The that 53 beats 47.
Motion carries.
There is no more filibuster, and then they could they could pass their bill if they wanted to tomorrow.
Just to jump in real quick.
Um, the removing the filibuster, you may have heard this brought up every now and then is known as the nuclear option.
Yes, this would be going nuclear on it.
Yes, yeah, so everybody talking.
So if you remember people talking about the nuclear option a few years back, that's what they were talking about, ending the filibuster.
Yes.
And so the this is the situation.
So uh Republicans have shown that they don't want to end the filibuster, which they could.
So that means that they are okay with this be the shutdown happening.
And I've seen so many people online trying to blame the Democrats for this, but uh currently all uh polling from rational sources basically has the American people blaming the Republicans by about 12 points more than the Democrats.
Basically, ever the polls are all bounced around where there's a lot of like where like don't know or undecided is like a larger or smaller variance, but it's like um like 4735, and then it's like four uh 4028, basically all across the board, but like it's it's a double-digit lead for the Republicans on who's eating the blame for this uh everywhere.
So uh the the American electorate as is not thrilled as I am with them, they do seem to be figuring this one out.
They do seem to have solved the puzzle that Republicans are doing this one.
So uh good on you, good on you, American public.
You're the best.
Uh vote better next time, please.
But uh oh uh one thing I've seen, and apparently this is this circulated around during the last uh uh government shutdown in 2018.
But people have been circulating this quote by Donald Trump from 2013 where he said that uh if if the government shuts down that that falls on the president's lap, um which is interesting because it's not an actual quote by Trump, but he has made statements to that effect.
So it's kind of it's kind of weird because it's it's it's it's an accurate reflection of comments he's made, but it's not a direct quote like people are treating it as.
Right.
It's one of those things where like it's bullshit.
He never said that.
It's like, well, he's totally he meant it.
He's he's he's gotten he's he's said things that you can like lead into that.
You you you can find other quotes that are in the same vein.
Yeah, this is basically like a more pithy version of something he's actually said.
Yes.
Yeah.
Um the drift beads cops are reported.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay, I forgot the other point I was gonna.
Oh, uh some people, because this comes up every now and then, some people might be wondering why the Republicans don't just end the filibuster, and a big reason for that is that the filibuster in the Senate is a very powerful tool if you're the minority party, and Republicans and Democrats both understand that at some point they will be the minority party and will need the filibuster to uh to make sure that you know they can still have things go their way in the Senate.
So it's one of those necessary evil kind of things.
Yeah, I mean and this is the thing about like the thing about the filibuster and the thing about the current constitution of the Senate is that if you look at how America is broken down and um like where Democrats could win seats.
It's really hard for Democrats to get more than like 54 seats, and 54 is even like a really is a heavy lift.
Like basically a democratic majority in the Senate is gonna cap out at like 52 almost always.
So as long as the filibuster remains as it is, any democratically controlled Senate is gonna be able to pass a reconciliation bill, and that's about it.
Like, unless it's like some sort of like harmless thing that obviously everyone's in favor of, like that's gonna make it through, but any politically charged bill is DOA in the Senate as long as the filibuster exists.
And Republicans know this.
So they want the Democrats to one day break down and be the ones to abolish the filibuster.
So they're like, you're the ones who did this, you're the ones who it's it's on you.
So yeah, there are there are a lot of threats of that during uh during Biden's tenure because of uh mansion and cinema that people are like, why don't we just why don't we just and end the filibuster so that those two can stop controlling the entire Senate?
But again, they they you know they they they know this is something they need to keep in their back pocket for when they need it.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
So yeah.
Um the other thing, so in the in QAnon world, uh the shutdown has been baked.
And the hope is that this shutdown is the uh 10 days of darkness that Q had promised uh back in the day, and that the shutdown will last for 10 days, and when it is over, all the liberals will be arrested and sent to get mode to die for their crimes.
I think they said the same thing about the 2018 uh shutdown, and then they started panicking when it hit day 11 of the shutdown with nothing in sight.
It's pr it's bringing our mythology, but then that shutdown got to day 17, which is comms.
So yeah.
Uh but then um yeah, I've seen a lot of people uh trying to be like, you know, this this shutdown was all Trump's plan because now he can do whatever he wants with uh with with you know with with no politicians getting in his way, because you know he was having such a hard time getting stuff passed with majorities in both houses.
Right.
Yeah, it's like look, like not everything is nine-dimensional chess with this guy.
He like please stop attributing genius to him when there's no reason to believe that.
He's a bull in a china shop.
That's all he is.
I can try to remember, was it my good dear friend, Awakened Outlaw, who posted that image of Trump going to sleep with a big smile on his face?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Before he goes to sleep for four hours because he spends the other 20 working for the American people.
Yeah, spends four hours sleeping, one hour uh making sweet love to Melania, and then and then the then the other 29 hours making America great again, all of that.
Yeah, just all of it.
Uh yeah, that that's that's our boy.
Our our our unfatigable ubermensch of a president who is obvious in the prime of life at a spry 79.
Yes.
Yeah, just I I he's like Merlin, he ages backwards.
Yes, exactly.
It's what's really funny is like every now and then like there'll be a video of Trump doing some like mildly physical thing, and people were like, Oh my god, he looks like he's he looks in such great shape, and it's like he's walking down a flight of stairs, which he literally just said is dangerous at his big speech in front of the military where he where they were talking about how yo, generals, you gotta lose some weight there, tub of guts, or else you're not gonna be a general anymore.
Yeah, meanwhile, the commander in chief is uh not exactly swelt, and he's not not under any uh threat to change his uh physical fitness regime.
Yeah.
So yeah, it was um just so are we seguing into that now?
Oh, if you want to go for it.
Yeah, get in there.
I um well, like I was saying before, I didn't uh I didn't have much time to go too much into it, but I did see a few clips.
So uh in case you didn't know, um uh Pete Heggseth, the Secretary of Peace, and uh and President Trump ordered just about every single general and admiral in the armed forces to to fly to uh to Washington DC to listen to a very, very important speech about uh toxic masculinity.
Uh where Pete Heggseth strutted around and said he ain't gonna see we're not gonna have no men wearing skirts and we're gonna and he doesn't want to see any potbellied generals and uh and sh shave that beard you goddamn hippie and all this stuff.
And then uh and then and then he you know that then he walked away to have his second fifth of Jack for the day.
Um and Trump got up on stage and this I love this part.
I actually caught this.
Uh he walks up on stage, and the generals are just kind of sitting there watching him, and he gets all bent out of shape because he's used to raucous applause anytime he walks into a room.
You know, the man can't take a piss without a standing ovation.
So yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he was all he was like, uh, if you want to clap, that's cool.
If you don't want to clap, we'll fix that shit.
I mean, he was unhappy with his reception.
Yeah, it's like you don't have to like what I what I have to say, but it if but uh if you don't like it, there's the door, and uh you can say goodbye to your rank and your pension.
Like basically he was so angry that people didn't clap for him like a five-year-old at his had his piano recital that he threatened to fire them all.
What a miserable piss baby.
And then he went on to talk about how uh he's gonna be sending them into all the Democrat run cities, and they should see that as practice runs for when they go to real war.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The the peace president.
Giving us our pre-war preparations.
Yeah.
Um of attacking American cities.
Yes.
And bragging about it.
Yeah.
And by the way, um, many of the people who voted for Trump were also the same people who got all upset about the Jade Helm 2015 training exercise, and they're like, we don't want military on our streets.
It was a training exercise.
But I guess it's okay for military on the streets when it's your guys in charge.
Because you people don't have any fucking principles.
It's they don't mind it when it's Portland and LA and Chicago that are being raided.
Yep.
Oh, no, no sweat off their brows.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they're they're totally okay with uh that that being what's going on.
Yeah, it's not great.
Not great.
Uh boy.
So yeah, that's our uh that's our boy.
Yeah That's our boy uh Donald Trump and Pete Heggsith uh yelling at their at the military and telling all the fat generals to shape up or you're done.
And they also had a lot of whining about women and how women are gonna have to pass male levels of fitness if they want to like stay in in like just very weirdly misogynistic and yeah, it was not uh I know these guys just hate that women are in combat roles now.
They just it it it it like it it it it just like shrinks their balls is ridiculous.
Uh and then I remember um I saw a bunch of people we know he when when Hegzith was talking about raising the standards of physical fitness that a lot of people were posting clips of him being unable to do a pull-up.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
And also somebody else pointed out that the uh that the military has been relaxing its uh its physical standards for decades because otherwise they would not be able to meet their recruitment goals.
Yeah.
And uh but yeah, I I and then I remember I had to explain because my I'm with the with the men wearing skirts thing, my uh my mom didn't understand that comment at all, so I had to explain about uh Rachel Levine and how she just broke everybody's brains on the rights.
Did I get the name right?
Rachel Devine.
I think so.
The the the trans uh secretary of the Navy or whatever it was.
Right.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, they like, oh, they they love posting like photos uh like the of the fitness secretary, the the transfix secretary, and then RFK Jr. being like massive upgrade, and it's like one of them actually knows what they're doing.
The other one is a like former heroin addict who is literally only in this position because he was a fail son who had like political cachet with three percent of Americans.
Uh, here it is.
Rachel Devine is the former assistant secretary for health of the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
Okay, so she she's the one who gets like hammered with the RFK comparisons all the time.
Yeah.
And just it just broke their brains that a trans person had you know was was was uh second in command uh to a uh to a cabinet position.
Yeah, oh yeah, the magical, truly magical.
Yeah.
Uh so yeah, we we've had we've had all that fun stuff going on.
And uh I it's really funny.
It's really funny in a way that like it's like man.
I always go into this show thinking to myself, but god, we're gonna be talking for forever.
And now like we've like gotten to an hour, and I'm like, thank god it's almost over.
Thank God.
The amount of dumb shit that we're dealing with is like diminishing.
Go ahead, Steph.
Can you explain escalator gate to me?
Oh boy, I forgot about that.
Oh, just uh the Trump the the elevator shut down in front of Trump at the UN before his speech that was wildly panned by the world.
And there was a big conspiracy theory about what happened, and I do believe it was actually his own party that somehow managed to screw up and break the escalator.
That's what the UN said, yeah.
Yeah, the UN, yeah, the UN blamed him.
And like the the thing about this is it's one of those things where if something happens, you gotta piss and moan about it because you're a giant baby if you're not a if you're and you gotta get those clicks, you gotta get reactions, you gotta get people talking.
So all these people were freaking out that Trump had been stopped at the bottom of this escalator, and then the assassins could strike.
It's like, buddy, he's inside the UN.
There's more security on top of more security on top of his secret service.
Everyone in that building is like ultra-vetted and padded down.
It's not like he was at an escalator at one of the land bridges in Las Vegas, which if you've ever been to the Vegas strip, you know, there's a million escalators to get you uh round the strip, so you don't have to like try to cross the street with the endless traffic.
It's like he wasn't outdoors, there was no danger to him, there was no possible like sniper attack that could happen.
Like get over yourselves.
I saw like one person saying Donald Trump was lit into a death funnel, and it's like you've you you you oh you learned a word.
Ah, congratulations.
You know a stupid phrase.
It's like uh someone who's read art of war and then spends the rest of their life talking about death ground, which is an awesome turn of phrase, and I very much enjoy it, but I don't think anyone gets it right.
It's like how QAnon talks about game theory.
It's like mean you've never never once in a million years gotten the term game theory correct ever.
And then uh the this those same people complaining about Trump being uh being a uh sitting duck for like 30 seconds, had no problem at all with just about every admiral and general in the country being in one room at the same time.
No security, you know, no no worries about security there.
Yeah, I mean we have had so many security crises recently, like the Charlie Kirk funeral or memorial service, like everyone was there, like Vance and Trump were both in the building.
Like I think at some point someone was like they didn't even really have a designated survivor.
Someone finally found like some cabinet official who wasn't at the Kirk Memorial, and now we had uh uh the president, the head of DOD, and our all of our military in one building just ripe for the taking by any terrorist force that wanted to do a decapitation strike, yeah.
And or any spy who might want to, you know, uh you know, plant a listening device on someone, right?
You know, you know exactly where and when he's gonna be there.
Right, exactly.
I mean, it's like there's a million security protocol breaches that we're just cheerfully doing here, and no one cares about any of that, but an escalator shorts out, oh my god, they're trying to kill the president, and it's like, no, no, they're not calm down.
Like, like take your meds, take your meds, like find your waterfall, relax.
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna work out.
So, yeah, uh people finding ways to get very upset.
It's uh pretty magical.
And then oh, and then he said that was Trump said that was just one of three massive uh massive betrayals he experienced at the uh at the UN2 because also his teleprompter went out.
The the man who famously claimed that he doesn't need a teleprompter, and he cried about not having a teleprompter, then didn't was it like a power outage or something too?
Yeah, I I heard again I heard the UN blamed him for it.
So but no, it was all a big massive campaign against him personally.
Yeah.
Of course, of course.
Everything is an attack on Trump.
Yes, that's his whole life.
His whole life is everyone's out to get me.
And and he's supposed to be an alpha male.
He's the biggest crybaby I've ever seen in my life, but but he's the manliest man in the in the world.
Of course, that's just the way it is.
It's just the way it is.
Yeah.
So did we answer your question, Steph?
She nods.
Yes, thank you.
Um, I just I I like my role as being the most clueless co-host, so I get to ask all of the questions.
Yeah, I guess I guess before we got here, that was L's role.
Yeah, that was his job.
Uh, so all of that happened.
It was great, but uh what was I gonna say is uh well now finished the day with the light and fluffy news about more bullshit around Charlie Kirk's uh murder.
Uh Candace Owens is still banging that drum.
Uh I've seen recently she's got a new talking point that the hospital Kirk was taken to had a new CEO and a new head of uh thoracic surgery, and the it was his like first day on the job, and the hospital in question did not have a great track record with uh like gunshot wounds to the neck, and to be fair, who does?
I was gonna I was not I was gonna say that the minute I saw the video, okay, because I you I used to want to be a mortician.
I knew that he got hit in the carotid.
And I'll tell you something, as gruesome as this sounds, the mortician who worked on him probably had to deal with some issues related to that because that's where they drain your blood, and then they use the jugular to pump in the embalming fluid.
So I knew the second I saw that shot, he's dead.
He's dead.
I knew it right away.
And there is no way if you're hit in the carotid or the jugular, you're gone.
You're gone.
There's no you're gone.
I mean, that's that's just a fact.
Oh, yeah.
Uh again, I've I've said men just as many times before, but I the the tweet that I'll always remember was uh someone just posted, oh I saw the close-up video, he dead dead, and that was just like that was just it.
I mean, but um the the idea and or there's and Kennis was also said that it wasn't the closest hospital to uh the university, and all of that would indicate that it was an inside job because it was Kirk Security who stuffed him in an SUV and drove him to the hospital.
Uh like there was no ambulance on site, and very obviously they weren't gonna wait for an ambulance to come get him because uh he was he was fucked.
So I mean uh any conspiracy around the hospital is nonsense because nobody could have saved him.
The shot was very obviously fatal.
And what I love about that is the idea that the sniper would have aimed directly for his neck because they knew they were gonna take him to a hospital that was bad at treating neck wounds.
Like the the snipe this the sniper's like talking to his boss, and it's like boss, I got a clear headshot here.
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm I'm I'm gonna Kennedy him, I'm gonna send his brains like everywhere.
And and his boss is like, no, no, it has to be the neck.
This the hospitals nearby are bad at treating neck wounds.
And the sniper's like, but if I hit him in the brain, he's dead.
Like, I mean, it's the brain.
There's no coming back from that.
And the boss the boss just yells at him, silence!
You'll shoot him in the neck.
That is what we demand of you.
And he's like, fine, you fucking borrowings.
I mean, just the most ridiculous thing I could imagine.
And then uh beyond that, I saw a guy named uh Flat Earth Dave, who thinks that Charlie Kirk was a hologram.
Uh that like it wasn't really him that was there, which means uh the hologram had a very uh realistic like body when it came to like falling and having blood pouring out of it and all that kind of stuff.
Um well, to be fair, the holograms on 9-11 were pretty good with making it look like planes at the buildings.
Yeah, it's just the plane.
Like you just have the plane float across the screen, and then you have the bomb go off inside the building.
Like the human body is moving, is takes a lot more work to make your hologram realistic.
Yeah, look at how Biden flickered during the uh inauguration.
Right, yeah, but I mean Biden hologram Biden.
I mean, it was it was very obvious.
I was totally built on hologram Biden.
The QAnon was batting 0.0 until hologram Biden, and they finally got a solid single to left there.
So boom, QAnon now batting one for 55.
Uh uh hashtag not actually believing that no well, Joe Biden was not actually a hologram, very very tight hologram uh hashtag for your Twitter feeds.
Don't worry about it.
But I think the gem was a hologram.
Yeah, and and the gem was with the holograms.
The holograms.
Oh, that's right.
And she was also truly contagious.
I I don't know.
I I I I just remember like being a kid, and like the gem cartoon.
I mean, you're a kid, you watch everything, so I whatever.
And then I found out like it was really funny.
I found out like a few months later that Barbie just crushed Jem, that it was just like this totally uncompetitive thing that like Jem tried to get into that market, and Barbie was like, No, you you have nothing, Jim.
You have no power here.
And I was like, Wow, man, I was I was kind of on team gem there for a little while.
But what do I again?
I don't know.
I have no idea how old I was, and I clearly was not into in touch with the doll buying community at that time because uh team Barbie had it they had it going on, they were way ahead of the game.
Did gem dolls actually had better articulation than most of the Barbies, like you could move their wrists and like their elbow, like there was there was much more articulation.
I don't think anybody buys Barbies for articulation, though.
I mean, I'm not trying to be insulting him, but I'm just saying I don't think that's right.
But as you know, when you're when you're when you're for me, like as a kid playing with these dolls, you're you're doing fashion things, you're making your doll like move around or jump around or walk and stuff like that.
And so it's easier when you know to have that kind of like movement with the dolls.
So gem was actually better.
Uh what was I gonna say is um it it's really like all that stuff is very interesting to me, like just like like the competing like uh toys.
I remember having a like absolute mental breakdown that somebody got me a go bot instead of a transformer.
Like it was like a secret, it was like a secret Santa in my middle school, and like they gave me this little package and I opened it and it was a GoBot, and I I just like started shrieking.
I could not handle that go bot.
And the and the little girl who bought it was mortified.
She couldn't believe that her gift was received so poorly.
And it's like, man, like if I had a time machine, killing Hitler, no, stopping 9-11, no.
I would just go back in time and I'd grab little me and be like, buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy, have a little decorum, have a little tact, be be cool about the go bot.
It's not that bad, man.
It's not that bad.
Just be happy about the go bot, bring it home, put it in the drawer, never look at it again.
You you you don't need to elevate your blood pressure here.
It's it's not that big of a transgression.
Calm down.
I mean, calm down about the go bot.
Yeah, I think yeah, I'm like, I'm like really into Transformers.
Like, I still collect Transformers to this day.
Um, I have shelves full of them in my basement.
But um I got a friend who he said he liked go bots when he's a kid, and I just like relentlessly mock him for it.
Just like go bots, come on.
That's that's like that that's like preferring the dollar store, you know, GI Bill figures over the real thing.
And just I mean, yeah, I'm teasing him.
Um I just I was just trying to make up some generic ripoff sounds.
Oh, but isn't there actually a thing called the GI Bill or something?
Oh, yeah, you're right.
And uh and yeah, and a part of my brain probably said, Hey, hey, I'm gonna fuck with you and do this because my brain likes to mess with me.
Yeah, so all of that which was incredible segue, way to get lost in the weeds us world-class podcasting.
Well, if you're gonna bring up transforming toys, you better you better be prepared because I'm gonna bring it.
Oh, of course and as well you should, sir, as well you should.
But um so we had the Kirk Hologram thing.
We had uh Candace Owens uh claiming that like the coroner, uh the surgeon, everybody were just doe-eyed newbies the first day on the job, which as Steph and literally anyone who saw the video wouldn't have mattered who the surgeon was, nothing was gonna say of that guy.
He was he was he could have literally have been in an operating room when he got shot, and it wasn't gonna it wasn't gonna help him out.
I mean, the med beds.
I uh that would that would I would have I want to see that.
I want to I want to see these medbeds treat that.
I want to the medbeds brought JFK back to life, so oh yeah, exactly.
I mean, and the and the best part about that was is people have told me that the medbeds got him like three or four days after the assassination, so he had already been autopsied and embalmed and all the rest of it, and the medbed just reversed all of that, just like you know, his brain being destroyed and then filled with embalming fluid.
Nope.
Good is new, good is new after the med bed.
And it's just um then death is impossible.
If that is your standard for what a med bed can treat, then we are all functionally immortal until we like die of old age, which I would also believe the medbed would be able to cure.
So we'd have to JFK is still around at the spray age of 120.
Oh yeah, yeah, exactly.
And as I've mentioned a million times on the podcast before, a guy that was riddled with diseases, had Addison's disease, had an unbelievably fucked up back, was literally in agony almost his entire adult life.
So yeah.
Um all of that.
Just very medbeds are not medbeds are very silly, and I'm glad that we're never gonna stop talking about them now.
But um beyond all that, uh go ahead, Eric.
Oh, Eric.
No, no, no, no, that was that was that was goodbye, not I have a point too.
I understood.
I I understood immediately after what happened, happened.
I'm like, okay, Eric's leaving now.
Okay.
Yeah, sorry, got a chat.
Later, guys.
Yep, then move.
Damn, Eric was gonna Irish goodbye, and I I blew his spot.
What a what a prick I am.
Oh, man.
But yeah, I mean, the thing is is that I think that's it.
I really I mean there were there was some Kirk med stuff, but not really medbed stuff, but the The Kirk stuff's the gift that keeps giving.
It's never gonna stop.
We're gonna get the trial of the guy who shot him and how people are gonna try to like bullshit around all that.
But uh nuts to all of it.
Nuts to all of it.
It'll it'll suck.
And I really hope that the idiot who shot him actually makes it the trial and is convicted and all the rest of it.
