	to his credit. These girls, they came, they shared their opinions, they shared their thoughts.
	And it's like Isaac said, I do this for a living. I express my opinion for a living.
	I think it was more casual for them. But I appreciate it coming on. I thought it was a good conversation. And it's good to flesh out the topics. I think they represent what everybody thinks about the issues. I think in that way, it was balanced. I represent kind of the opposite view.
	And I'm really not trying to score slam dunks and say, oh, well, I got you in my trap. I'm trying to get people to think about a totally different way of thinking in the sense that you could see so much of the talk is, well, everyone should vote.
	Welcome to Louder Than Crowder, a podcast about the Podcast Louder with Crowder.
	My name's Byron, and this is part two of our coverage of Stephen's coverage of a Mug Club investigative sting operation of COVID Czar Jay Varma in New York City.
	Everyone has rights. Women have rights.
	Everybody has these unexamined assumptions about how the world is and how it should be.
	If you haven't heard part one, definitely go back and check that out.
	But yeah, things are going to get a bit more monkeypox for the next hour or so, so Brace yourself, strap in, and here we go.
	But, like, I don't care.
	I don't care at all. Exactly, because why would you?
	Yeah, why would I give a shit about what anyone else does with their dick?
	Because COVID! Because COVID! COVID! This is his...
	This is a dream for him.
	He's like, I can finally be judgmental about other people's sexuality.
	This is amazing. Say it's about COVID. Great.
	I'm glad you- They gathered during COVID. Yeah, now you care about COVID. Disgusting.
	Yeah, now you care. Yeah, exactly.
	Great. And is it super relevant?
	Yes, because we were talking about monkeypox.
	And you may not remember, but at one point in time, many of you were sold a false bill of goods that it could be potentially the next pandemic, that it was one to look out for.
	And sometimes people were silenced as though it was hateful if you said, well, it seems like it's spreading exclusively in a subset of the population, which can similarly be said about AIDS. And you were not allowed to discuss that.
	That's not at all to say that anyone deserves it or you hate a portion of the population.
	That is to say, hey, if you're going to deal with a problem, you need to be accurate in assessing it.
	That's the problem with cancel culture, political correctness, is if it doesn't allow you to identify the problem due to these arbitrary, ever-changing rules, well, then guess what?
	It opens the door. For charlatans, for potentially snake oil salesmen.
	This makes so much more sense.
	Steven, his stories about this in the past were because he cares deeply about gay men.
	Wow, okay. He wants the gay men to be helped right now.
	I can kind of scrap the rest of the show. Yeah, we're done.
	I didn't realize how caring he was.
	Steven wants monkeypox to be eradicated and he's just so worried about the gay people not getting enough attention.
	Getting grifted on, I guess?
	Sure. He's worried that some grifter will swoop in and try and sell mugs.
	I mean, sorry, try and sell snake oil.
	Freaking Vince from ShamWow is going to freaking get him!
	Not Vince! What's up with Vince these days?
	He's in prison. So he, meaning Jay Varma, was tasked with SIGA's drug, Teapox.
	Okay? And he was tasked with sort of bringing this and making it viable or desirable to the United States government.
	As a treatment for smallpox.
	So he's a salesman who likes being played with by men.
	Let's see his sales pitch for the company Siga, who he worked for then, but have since fired him.
	That joke was for you.
	Honesty in dealing with diseases or really any situation that has consequences for Americans.
	The truth is where you do have to start.
	Siga's primary, you know, commercial product is a drug that's used to treat a disease that doesn't exist right now, smallpox.
	But it's critical for governments to be concerned about this because we know we are in a new age of pandemics.
	Or in government or something, because we're trying to sell our drugs to them a lot of times.
	Like what drugs are we trying to sell? So the same drug that we make is also used for, there's a disease called smallpox, which was like eradicated from the earth, like in the 1970s through vaccines.
	But it was like, some countries developed it as like a biological weapon, like you could spread it through the air and kill people.
	So, we sell it to the US government.
	They sell this drug to the US government and to other governments.
	It's kind of like an insurance. So they have a stockpile.
	And so a lot of times we have to go and meet and have to scare people and say, oh, you're going to die.
	Make sure we have enough of the drugs.
	I'm kind of a hell freak.
	So now I'm nervous. I'm like, what?
	Well, that's why you need to get back to that.
	Yeah, I know. I know.
	Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, what are we in for?
	Like, is that the next pandemic?
	No, I don't think it's super likely, but it's also, like, it's not impossible, right?
	And so what I tell them is, look, if you want to be prepared, it's not super expensive to stockpile a drug and just keep it just in case.
	So I don't...
	Illegal! I mean, I don't know.
	It sounds like being a salesperson, right?
	Well, you know, I mean...
	Let's be real, though.
	I mean, he's using scare tactics.
	I don't like that. Yeah. Well, I mean, I don't know.
	Personally, I like to buy a first aid kit right when I get cut.
	I don't want to have any first aid kit at my house in case I get cut.
	Wait, interesting, though. I did just have a thought.
	Food survival buckets.
	Wait a minute. Has this been done?
	Hell yeah, dude. Has anyone been talking about this?
	Wait, wait, wait. Nobody knows about food buckets.
	The power goes out.
	The power's on now.
	A week later, they're gonna be knocking on your door.
	No one likes to scare people to buy products, right?
	Of course. I mean, here's the thing.
	If they have a drug that is effective in treating smallpox, and smallpox is not an issue right now...
	The value is still there.
	It's still there. Because if it does happen, imagine if we had a COVID vaccine before COVID happened.
	We did have that mRNA system in development.
	That's why we were able to get...
	Then consider the opposite. What if we didn't have anything?
	We weren't planning ahead in any capacity.
	I mean, we probably just would have been herd immunity.
	It would have been better. It would have been better, obviously.
	We should have more sex parties.
	Well, all grandmas would have been dead.
	That's fine. And that is fine for some folks.
	Andrew Cuomo. Andrew.
	I understand that he's implying that scare tactics are like, he's trying to scare and he's trying to make it sound worse than it is to try and sell his product.
	What the fuck does Steven do with Mug Club Undercover?
	He feels like he's giving them something.
	No, I'm saying his scare tactic, that's all he does.
	He says, they're coming for you this election.
	Yeah. Sign up now.
	Project 47. Discount code.
	He does do that three or four times this episode.
	Of course, yeah. Discount codes, MDAMA sex party.
	Oh, that's a good one. That's his next one, yeah.
	Wow. The thing that matters most to him, though, is that it's our money.
	It's the people's money.
	The people's money, of course, yeah. And it's going to stuff that he doesn't agree with.
	It's my money and I want it now!
	So to be clear, he says it's not very expensive.
	For the U.S. government. What he means by that is in 2018, SIGA got a $472 million contract from the U.S. government, you, your taxpayer dollars, for TPOCs as a smallpox treatment.
	And unfortunately, when you watch this, it validates a lot of concerns that people have had regarding whether it's considered experimental treatment or perhaps relationships between those working with big pharmaceutical companies and government.
	You see this and you see someone who says he worked for the CDC for 20 years and now just a paltry $472 million contract with the US government.
	Here's what's really important.
	When we talk about smallpox, that's what this contract is for.
	T-pox has only been tested, by the way, for efficacy in animals.
	It was tested simply for safety in humans, okay?
	So they don't have a test that shows that T-pox actually works for smallpox.
	There hasn't been that kind of a test.
	It was tested clinically for monkeypox, for efficacy in humans.
	The problem there is the studies were not good.
	It'd be like if he was like, here's another analogy drink.
	He's like, so Apple's developed a new iPhone, but have they even plugged it in yet?
	Okay. Why would you spend money on it if you haven't even plugged it in yet to know if it works?
	Does it work? My whole read on it is like they're trying to watch the dominoes fall.
	The COVID czar is going down and now like...
	So COVID goes down with him.
	COVID was fake and we were right about all of it.
	You should have just let us have our fucking Applebee's and yeah.
	Our riblets. Yeah, we were hungry and you wouldn't let us eat.
	And that's sort of, we were right, you were wrong and we're right about everything.
	You're wrong about everything.
	The whole like lib take that like, they don't believe in science and it's like, well, for all intents and purposes, they don't really seem to give a shit about the science thing.
	Or what the implied science would be.
	Because there's always another doctor.
	Their doctor is the one that knows the right things.
	They did the pandemic and they made the movie faster than, you know.
	I mean, the thing I looked into, though, the T-pox in vitro in animal studies, it did work against monkeypox virus.
	But much like early COVID vaccine, a ton of things worked in vitro as well that didn't end up actually...
	Being effective in clinical studies.
	But what if the doctor who did the study is okay with his balls touching another guy's balls?
	Does that change anything? Yeah, his results are invalid because he's a gay guy.
	Oh, okay. See?
	That's the loophole, dude.
	That's it. Some kind of hole.
	Clinical studies. I was waiting.
	I almost said it, and then I guess I let Jared do it.
	This sucks, and I hate being around you two.
	Hey, guys. There was a UC Davis health study of 25 patients, which is already far too few.
	They clarified that it was safe, and they said effective for treating monkeypox symptoms and skin lesions, where 40% of the patients heal lesions by day seven of the therapy, which is actually pretty fast considering, I think, regularly it's two or three weeks.
	Mm-hmm. 92% healed and were pain-free by 21 days.
	The treatment was well tolerated with minimal adverse events.
	So they expanded the program.
	549 patients were treated.
	99.8% received it orally as outpatients.
	Few adverse events were reported, which was 3.5%, which is pretty good.
	Surprisingly, not a lot.
	Yeah, it's not. And regardless of the actual efficacy of the whole thing, Stephen's proposed solution here is we shouldn't fund private research.
	Of course we should fund private research.
	Yeah, well, he's like ruining the food we have, but not bringing other food to replace it kind of a thing.
	In this case, he's kind of right, because then there was a large-scale clinical trial in the Democratic Republic of Congo with 597 participants.
	Okay. And it found that it didn't reduce the duration of monkeypox lesions compared to the placebo.
	It's well tolerated with no adverse side effects.
	So kind of like, what is it?
	Ivermectin. Oh yeah, nice, nice.
	There's still value in funding that type of research.
	Absolutely. They could find...
	You will not find a cure not researching it.
	Exactly. And when you move it from in vitro and find the reason it works in vitro, you know, apply it to a way that does make it work in large-scale clinical trials, that's important.
	Of course. Yeah. And also, I don't know if people realize this, when we fund things like research or like people do this all the time with NASA, you spend tons of money sending stuff to Mars.
	Yeah, a bunch of Jeffrey Epstein's money, Dennis.
	Yeah. That money is being spent in our country.
	It's still being spent and it goes into our economy.
	Money moving around and being spent is still a good thing.
	We're making progress from our failures.
	Yes, of course.
	I think more often than the successes, we're learning from our failures.
	That's just how this works. It's science.
	It is science. If you can't show...
	If you can't show...
	How it's growth like a business because we're business-minded and we should run America like a business.
	If you can't show that, then it's out.
	It's done, suckers.
	It's gone. That's why we don't trust it.
	Get it out. Not fast enough.
	Him assuming that his listeners can't understand that $472 million isn't really that much when you're talking about the U.S. government is a little offensive.
	It's not nothing.
	If you go back to the fiscal year 2022, the government spent about...
	What is this? $694 billion.
	But a billion is the same as a million.
	Haven't you ever like...
	Nope. It's actually...
	Is it three mores or more?
	Bernie Sanders has two houses and a cabin.
	Great. You guys support these one percenters like that all the time.
	Speaking of 1%ers real quick, it's actually.068% would be this contract of the budget.
	No, that doesn't sound right.
	That sounds like a Fauci number.
	$472 million were given for this T-Pox.
	And what was the total spend you said?
	Was $694 billion on contracts.
	Oh, $694. Yeah.
	I thought you said 6.94 and I'm like, that's still half a billion.
	Oh yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	That makes sense. $694 billion is usually what, I guess in 2002, I don't know what it is now, but that's how much we spent on government contracts.
	We spent all that on the damn wall.
	Sure. And regardless, if you spend money on research, you may get an answer.
	If you do not spend money on research, you will not get an answer.
	Do you want to know what the funding of TPOCs, how much that cost each American?
	Yeah. A dollar and 36 cents.
	Dude, that's bullshit.
	I'm about to freaking barf.
	Because... Do you need to take a second?
	We'll start a clip. You can go barf.
	He's coming out! He's coming out!
	I think I have a good analogy for this.
	Oh. Let's say I found a Brazilian model on Instagram.
	I can't let you do this.
	And I wanted to ask her out.
	Yeah, okay. If there's a chance that she would say no, should I even ask?
	Probably not. Okay.
	And none of that stopped Jay Varma from trying to convince buyers at the FDA. So we want the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, to approve our drugs specifically for monkeypox.
	And right now it's only considered experimental.
	And they won't approve it based on this study.
	Why did they design it the wrong way?
	Yes. I wasn't part of the company.
	My boss wasn't part of the company.
	They weren't thinking about this disease.
	They were thinking about a whole other different disease called smallpox.
	And this was part of my conference call, so it was like us screaming, like, why the fuck did it be designed to serve you?
	So is the emergency use authorization going to happen?
	Will it go through? We haven't even decided if we're going to submit for it yet.
	You have to do it a certain way if you don't do it a certain way.
	The government's regulated, they think that if you analyze it and you have what's called a secondary outcome, it's not as valid.
	And they don't want to buy the drug and do things for it.
	So the problem was the study was designed in a way which we didn't design to be for all patients.
	It should have been designed to study for people who come in really early.
	Anyway, it's a little geeky, but basically the problem is we're stuck with Our drug definitely looks like it works, but the people that we need to buy it are not going to be as confident in it because the data doesn't look as strong as it would have been designed in a different way.
	And so my boss is trying to figure out that she's the money person, I'm supposed to be the thinker.
	Well, I mean, so is that how it works though?
	Like if the study doesn't go the way that we want?
	You try to do another study. Yeah.
	Do you get the weird feeling of, uh, there's this other disease called smallpox?
	Like, he's, like, mansplaining smallpox.
	He kind of is, actually. It's really odd.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't know how young she appears to be, but I feel like there's...
	And he sounds pretty young. I don't know.
	But, yeah, he's like, so there's this other disease called smallpox?
	You might know about it. You ever heard of this?
	You ever heard of it? Yeah, it was a big deal back in, like, the Native American days.
	Yeah. Like, I don't think we've mentioned that.
	They're close enough that it would make sense that there's potentially something.
	The smallpox vaccine actually is like 85% effective against monkeypox.
	Oh, that's interesting. The diseases, they're similar.
	So it would make sense that this is at least worth researching.
	Is this supposed to imply that trying to seek FDA approval is like a shitty thing to do?
	Yes. Well, I think the concern that Stephen has is that they're trying to make money.
	Yeah, that's what Steven wants, right?
	Does he want privatization of this kind of stuff?
	He feels offended that the government gave this private company money.
	Okay, but no people are going to band together and fund research.
	That's not really how it works.
	You're right. No, it's not.
	If you want to do that, Stephen, why don't you donate some of your mug club army money?
	Yeah, well, I think we're going to get a...
	Tell them what you're doing. By the end of the episode, you'll get a clearer idea of just how much he says they're making off of all of this.
	Probably a lot, dude. Well, I was surprised.
	The conversation kind of turns here.
	Right now, we're dealing with a city where you have people who are not able to work, may not get their pensions, have won their case when they have sued the city, and it's just been kicked to an appeal.
	And that's been delayed. People who aren't able to make a living because of policy as it resulted from COVID. And I don't know if you know this, but there have been civil unrest for far less than that, preventing you from earning a living.
	And at that point in time, you believe that, hey, maybe we're not getting the full story.
	It doesn't matter. This is how it's going to be portrayed.
	It wasn't about, for a lot of people, helping you.
	Whether it's the mRNA injection or whether it's lockdowns, whether it's keeping your children from school, is about ensuring that the perception was correct.
	Here, with monkeypox, it's not about necessarily protecting you because you're not at risk.
	And it certainly doesn't seem to be about helping you because that can be done Straight from the horse's mouth with measures, certainly in the modern world, that you could take yourself.
	Nutrition, sleep, basic approaches to human health and wound care.
	But if you say that all of these things actually enter into the equation and contribute toward your robust ability to fight off it, that's conspiratorial.
	You gotta put on your mask.
	You gotta stay in your house.
	If you don't listen, you're gonna lose your job.
	And they just move on to the next thing.
	Gotta take your teapocks.
	Gotta take your teapocks or we won't push the Ebola.
	None of that is related.
	Not at all. Oh?
	No, I don't think this monkeypox situation, which still isn't current, no one's talking about monkeypox.
	I don't know. I don't know what...
	There was like a brief moment at like the beginning of the summer where I heard some like...
	about it, but like...
	You probably heard about it from Steven, though, to be fair.
	It was like two people, and it was like people who it might affect, you know what I mean?
	I remember that, yeah.
	It's funny to see how he's like, there's this disease that you aren't even at risk of getting.
	I'm definitely not at risk of getting.
	I've never even been curious about being at risk of getting this.
	Yeah, I mean, that's kind of the sentiment I've seen on the message board.
	We're not going to be participating in any of those rumors.
	I don't know why he's even focused on this.
	He just wants to talk about gay people, I think.
	I think he really enjoys this sweet spot of COVID. Remember how much you hate COVID? Remember how much you kind of secretly hate gay people?
	He's just playing the hits.
	Yeah. Throw it back in the old witch's brew, the old conservative brew over there.
	Stoke the flames.
	It's a cauldron.
	That was a great cauldron. Thank you.
	Really good, yeah. Thanks.
	No, but I mean... I thought you were going to say Eye of Newt.
	Yeah, I was throwing that in the brew, of course, with some bay leaf, frogs.
	That's Newt.
	I don't, listen. Little Caesars zap packs?
	You put that in a cauldron?
	Yeah. That's great.
	Soup. This guy getting busted being horny does not mean the government was lying about vaccine or masks.
	Yeah, or means with which you could prevent transmission of COVID. Yeah.
	And I don't know how...
	I mean, I know why, because he's homophobic.
	But bringing in monkeypox, a situation that played out and was handled in a responsible way...
	Yeah. And the only people I heard who were being disrespectful to the fact that it only impacts men who have sex with men, that was just coming from right-wingers.
	Yeah. Yeah. But now he's trying to stir up the New Yorkers that are pissed about being fired because they're nurses who wouldn't get vaccinated or any other city workers.
	Those are separate things. Yeah, Kyrie Irving, right?
	Yeah, he did get a response from Kyrie Irving about this because...
	It's a basketball player that was not allowed to play because he wouldn't get vaccinated, or I guess wouldn't confirm vaccination status.
	Yeah, I don't think he did get vaccinated, but he was also somebody who was pushing flatter theory and shit.
	Yeah, he's a dipshit. The guy fucking sucks.
	And then he makes a plea to Aaron Rodgers at the end of this.
	He thinks he's going to try to get Rodgers in on this.
	Oh, yeah, go steal some welfare.
	Wait, that was Brett. Oh, yeah, you're right.
	Yeah, Rogers is the guy who, he believes 9-11 was an inside job.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep, yep, yep.
	So I get confused by the other famous quarterback.
	Fake moon, flat earth.
	It's all the same. Well, we're in New York, baby.
	Now he gives a shit.
	Of course he does, dude. Because, you know, you disobeying the rules, it doesn't matter if other people disobey the rules.
	That's not how the rules work, Stephen.
	He's going to say, oh, these rules are just meant to control us.
	No, the rules are meant to keep us safe.
	There were rules that obviously people were like, oh, that wasn't the best move.
	Yeah, maybe we were a little too cautious during that period.
	I'd rather be, you know, safe than sorry.
	And you guys know about the freaking gangs in New York, you know?
	The freaking five points make a fist.
	And you got the baseball furies.
	You got the Lizzie's.
	Yes, yes, we're crossing.
	The Tremont Street. Yay, big cross, yeah.
	Yeah. And I want to put a finer point on this.
	The idea that there are people who present themselves as effectively humanitarians, out there looking out for you, and that these people can look at a study and see improvement Through something that we all know to be true and would be the easiest intervention to take with no side effects.
	Not starving, basic hygiene and wound care, look at that and see it as a disappointment, tells you that their views and their goals are not aligned with yours.
	And that's why the problem here is you never chose them to represent you.
	We often look at congressmen and senators and talk about the swamp in Washington, D.C., and we fail to realize that there are far more people in positions of power who have never been elected and in no way represent your best interests or have them at heart.
	Sometimes they're diametrically opposed.
	You know about Anthony Fauci.
	So let me provide a little bit of context there.
	He was discussing the results of that TPOX larger study in which they reported that...
	It didn't really have an impact. Yeah, and the placebo folks were admitted to a hospital and they were given proper nutrition and wound care.
	And they healed at the same rate as the TPOX folks.
	He's saying that Varma is, in those hidden recordings, reacting as if it's a disappointment that T-Pox did the same as the other ones.
	I think it's a disappointment that people aren't dying.
	That's what Steven thinks.
	But the way I interpret it is he's disappointed that T-Pox doesn't do better because he wants it to do better.
	He doesn't want to make more money and he's disappointed because it didn't work this time.
	I think he's disappointed because he wants it to work better, right?
	You can have ambition for like, oh, we need to fix...
	That's like part of the thing is like selling it, like we talked about earlier, right?
	So it's like, it has to be both things.
	Like you want it to be effective because you want more funding to be more effective.
	You know, like it's just like any other business.
	You would want maybe sciences to be like more funded and better funded in this country, but...
	Maybe even funded by government.
	Broken jackals like the people that they're trying to put back in there who have a record of defunding science.
	So you can only go so far with these people.
	Then they just have to take the ball home with them every single time.
	They want the answer. It's that simple.
	They want the answer without the money.
	Donald can do it. We never chose these people to represent us.
	Does he want an election of every possible position in the whole country?
	Yeah, I don't think that the way they're making burgers at McDonald's is the way I would like it to be.
	Sounds like we should make that government job.
	Bring back the beef tallow.
	Yeah, actually, the fries were better then.
	And I mean, I do understand where he's coming from in terms of like, it's a government contract.
	So in a way, it's our money is going into this.
	But like, that's how this works.
	Yeah, our taxpayer dollars will sometimes buy research.
	I know, I disagree with some of the ways that our money is spent sometimes.
	Yeah, I'd rather our money be spent on gun violence research.
	I really like it when my money, yeah.
	No, when my money goes to the gun contracts.
	I love sending more ammunition to Israel, yeah.
	We love rockets and missiles.
	So cool. Alright, we got more clips.
	Where were we? What the hell is going on in this world?
	It's so fucked up.
	I don't want to be here anymore.
	But speaking of Kyrie Irving...
	So Kyrie Irving basically put this out on part one and said, God is truly the greatest and the truth is always revealed in the light.
	I am grateful. I am not alone on this mission.
	Rise up and out of the ashes no matter what.
	I don't know what that means.
	Well, I will say this because we caught the one who directly affected Kyrie Irving, but hey, Rogers, Aaron Rogers, maybe you should call people.
	Call them to the floor here.
	We would like to know who's behind all of it.
	The reason for these decisions that seemed to defy reason.
	Any athlete, celebrity, by the way, high-performing individual, please make your voices heard.
	We can prove the Kyrie Irving thing because the guy was dumb enough to brag about it.
	I guarantee you Rogers has his own Varma.
	And I guarantee you do too.
	There's more. We all have our own Varma.
	What's your personal Varma?
	Man, I'm on the spot here.
	I'll give mine.
	My parents wouldn't let me have a skateboard when I was a kid, and when I came home one time, my mom was skating the vert ramp in the backyard.
	No way! She was hanging.
	She did a cry stare right in front of me.
	Yeah, my varma is someone saying no dessert and waking up and going downstairs and oh my god, they're eating soft serve.
	Soft serving cake with their hands.
	The whole point here is that they're acting...
	Sorry, I just read Stephen's response to Kyrie Irving.
	Life of a martyr, bro.
	Fucking dork. So dorky.
	Please come on my show. Yeah, please do my show.
	I want to talk to you. They're acting like the fact that this...
	Yeah, you don't want to look at the replies, Stephen.
	That's not good. They're acting like the fact that this guy got busted for breaking the rules, made it so the rules simply don't apply to anybody.
	That's like Trump getting busted for his felony says that campaign finance law should be gone.
	Yeah. It's not how that works.
	It's just a classic two wrongs don't make a right.
	The difference is that Stephen's saying that it was never wrong all along.
	Exactly. And in the replies, though, Hey, Steve, how's the wife?
	Great. You're still not invited to the cookout, cuck, which is great.
	Oh, brother, shut the fuck up.
	Why don't you show Kyrie your Obama impression?
	That's nice. You're a pathetic loser, Stephen.
	No joke. You're a dumbass.
	Shut the fuck up, Nazi.
	Nope. So Nope.
	Do you consider yourself a martyr for spousal abusers or something?
	Which is great. And the gif that we don't need to discuss, but yeah, that didn't go well.
	I just want to say hello to my haters.
	Okay. Life of a martyr, bro.
	That's the dorkiest thing.
	Not much to say other than he's just kind of engagement farming.
	He's doing these big swings to see if he can get some folks to pop up on his show because you never know.
	Kyrie Irving might, you know, no, he's not.
	He's not coming on the show.
	Yeah, he's not desperate. He's in the NBA. Get Nick Dipp.
	That's all you got. Yeah.
	How many times are you chastised and told, trust the science to see that?
	Who's this person? Ah, yes, that's Ginger Snap, who is in the room.
	For the last 45 minutes, just breathing.
	Is this a fourth chair?
	Doing homework. Yeah, there is a fourth chair, and it's kind of in a dark corner of the room, and they just cut to him for the first time in this moment.
	Oh, okay. He was on CNN earlier this week.
	Was he talking about this Varma situation?
	No, I think he was talking about the mega-communists, and I think he was calling them out or something.
	Mega-communists?
	Yeah, it's a whole...
	It's a thing? Yeah, it's, yeah.
	We don't need to talk about it.
	How many times are you chastised and told, trust the science to see this?
	You must be one of those science deniers.
	No. Yeah, one of those guys who doesn't think it's fun to have men play back there.
	And also, here's the thing.
	What? Like...
	There are men in prison.
	There are men in prison who, you know, sexually accost other men where it's less gay.
	Now, it's still gay, but Dr.
	J. Varma, just as an unrelated note, didn't say, you know, sometimes it's fun for me to play back there on other men.
	He said, it's fun for them to play back there.
	Like, that's a double down.
	Did you say back there or did you just say play with me? Play with me.
	I don't know, but that's what I heard. But I even imagine in prison, you know, When it's a power move that someone there, it's kind of like when you see those things on an island and the man is hungry and he sees his friend turn into a hot dog that a prisoner would, the man in prison, because it's been a long time, turns into a lady.
	But when Varma says, he's the one who's the lady.
	So my point is, if I'm a betting man, who's gay?
	Again, with the sexual assault, jokes are funny.
	Yeah, it's really funny.
	And he's got the room, obviously.
	Boys are eating it up right out of the palm of his hands.
	Did he say that if you're on an island and you're thirsty, you'll fuck the guy with you?
	No. No, they're going to eat them because you're hungry, so they're a hot dog.
	You're licking your chops, imagining your cast-awayed cohort as a food, a hallucination.
	He said that they were a woman.
	No, you're mixing the analogies here.
	Okay, well, I'm sorry that I misunderstood.
	Similarly, how the man is a hot dog and he's going to get eaten by his friend on the desert island.
	The prisoner is going to see his cellmate or whatever as a woman.
	And that's ripe for him to sexually assault that person.
	And he's saying that that's gonna be Pharma too.
	He's into it. Okay, so okay.
	All right. Okay.
	Sorry that it bothers you so much that those guys are fine with playing with zero sticks.
	It doesn't bother me at all.
	No. I don't care. I don't even think about it.
	Yeah, I don't care. But he was also even on this, like, it's maybe less gay when it happens in prison or something.
	It's like, I don't think there's like a...
	I don't even... Yeah, he's saying, these guys are desperate.
	They're not gay. They're desperate. It's such a strange way to look at this entire situation.
	You know what? I imagined it, he said.
	And it's like, why are you doing this?
	Yeah, you may think I cut out some context to this.
	No. No, you didn't.
	And I mean, you could sense everyone's confused about where he's going.
	Yeah. You know, sometimes we're science deniers.
	Also... Gay stuff?
	That's gross. I don't know any straight guys that do anything about gay stuff.
	It's like, you're just talking about imagining all this gay prison sex, my guy.
	You're hanging out in your favorite episodes of Oz having a good time, I guess.
	I think it's also interesting to me that Steven is kind of implying that men can do things that he would consider gay, but not in a gay way because they're just in a different scenario.
	You know what I mean? Justifying quote-unquote gay action.
	I imagine when this happens, it's kind of like this.
	Yeah, it's the dumbest thing.
	I don't understand it at all.
	I don't think that there's any gay guys who think about what it's like to have sex with a vagina if they don't want to have that.
	Wouldn't it be funny if we were like...
	Just do whatever the hell you want, man.
	Like doing analysis like we were looking for like QAnon or something like that and we're like, it's all in the subtext.
	What do you think he's telling us right now about imagining gay sex in prison or otherwise?
	He's making me think about gay sex.
	We've got to bake this.
	Yeah. Yeah. There's crumbs everywhere, boys.
	There's so much in language here, dude.
	Yeah, but...
	Did you guys ever play our last episode?
	No, we gotta go.
	Stop talking, both of you.
	You guys are. Useless.
	I don't know where they're trying to be like, oh, a doctor, ask the pharmacist.
	You ask the pharmacist and you can see them Googling it.
	Yeah, right to the plexiglass.
	Yes. That's why that's up there, too, so you won't shoot him.
	Well, they also have the one step up, and I don't get it.
	But here's the thing. With monkeypox, while we're talking about monkeypox, because, you know, it's funny.
	No, it's not. And Nick Dipp.
	Yes, it's funny. The word's monkey, dude.
	Monkey. Yeah, it is.
	Hoo-hoo-hoo, goofy. And yeah, they're like wearing bow ties.
	They're threatening to murder a pharmacist because they're doing their research and their tools.
	Listen, Nick, I bet there's an app they're using.
	No. You think they're just like Googling?
	Yeah, they're probably using DuckDuckGo if they're smart.
	It's probably a work tool.
	They're finding pills and looking them up.
	Yeah. Okay.
	What's this do? Reverse image search?
	Ridiculous. Is this the right pill?
	Yeah, I think I just left that in because it's just like instance three of extreme violence suggested by Nick DiPaolo.
	Yeah, going hard. Steven cares about people.
	Yeah, I get that. Just not minorities.
	Or gay people. For sure, yeah.
	Any sort of disenfranchised person.
	He doesn't care because they're not the majority and that's what he would prefer we focus on.
	Larger problems. Larger kids.
	Do you know there are still kids with type 2 diabetes?
	Do you know that there are still congenital heart disorders?
	Do you know there's some cancers that we're not even close to knowing how to treat properly?
	But because a bunch of celebrities got together and told you, including Oprah, that one in five heterosexual couples in the United States will be affected by AIDS, I believe they said by the year 1993 or 1995.
	You can go back and see this.
	It was a false bill of goods back then.
	If you're spending billions on something that can just as easily be avoided Through not engaging in very specific behavior, as we know with monkeypox and as we knew with AIDS, you can maybe invest that money to help people who are victims of circumstance through no fault of their own.
	But if you speak out, it's hate speech.
	We were given a false bill of goods.
	Yeah. Thank goodness that we found ways to treat HIV and AIDS quicker than we thought.
	HIV and AIDS has like miraculously been handled.
	It was something we had no idea what it was.
	And we did a lot of research.
	And it's terrifying. And I imagine I was not alive in 1983.
	That must have been horrifying to have this thing kind of lurking that we didn't quite understand.
	It was affecting our immune system.
	Yeah. Well, I mean, isn't that what got easy?
	Yes. Yeah. I mean, lots of folks.
	It doesn't exclusively impact gay people, of course.
	No. He's saying that Oprah and other celebrities that were concerned about it were in the wrong for being concerned about it.
	I think this is evidence that...
	Being concerned brought about solutions.
	Using your platform to express your views is a problem.
	And you shouldn't do this if it's...
	You have to use your platform to express my views.
	If you're a musician, you should do music.
	If you're a comedian, you should...
	No, no, no. But if you even do those things...
	And what if you made a song that was about like...
	The AIDS is gonna be a problem for America.
	And then he's like, I don't think so.
	Maybe you gotta stop doing that, you see?
	Because he's gonna use it against you right now.
	I mean, it just makes it more obvious that he is against any sort of homosexuality.
	He says, it's easy, you just don't get to have sex now because you're gay.
	Yeah. Just like me.
	And that's fine. Just stop having sex.
	And it's like, well, no. Actually, that's part of being human.
	It's part of expressing love.
	Not Stephen.
	Yeah, imagine the opposite.
	If it was only a heterosexual sex.
	Stephen is a chaste king.
	Well, that is allegedly- My boy's in a cage, brother.
	You know it. He's a literal born-again virgin.
	Yeah. I mean, that's allegedly.
	I just think that that's a silly thing that I hear oftentimes surrounding like- You're just being homophobic.
	AIDS and monkeypox is like, they're just gay people who like to have sex.
	And I'm like, well, We all like to have sex.
	Honestly, everyone kind of likes to have sex.
	Yeah, most people. Yeah, and oh, let's just have them not have sex anymore.
	You know, childhood leukemia, not that many kids get it, so let's not worry about it.
	And what if it was a race, and it was like, yeah, people from the Philippines can't have sex anymore.
	Yeah. It's absurd to think like that.
	Well, it totally is, yeah. And I mean, he's also implying that we should spend our money on other diseases or other things that need more attention.
	Yeah, let's do both.
	Yeah, we can do both things.
	The people who want to do that and the people who want to, like, fund those things are not Steven.
	Yeah. And he's pretending it is.
	Exactly. It's exhausting, Steven.
	It's so tiresome.
	Don't talk about abortion.
	You'll offend women. Don't care.
	Don't talk about that.
	You'll offend the LGBT. Hey, you know what?
	You're not... Don't talk about... You'll seem callous if it's right after a shooting if you don't support gun control.
	Everyone does... Everyone guilts you...
	Take a deep breath....into seeming like the bad guy...
	Calm down....so that you just stay silent.
	Well, you know what? I don't know.
	Maybe those kids who have diseases that they've done nothing to deserve, maybe they need a fucking bad guy to talk.
	Huh? Honestly?
	You watch Dallas Buyers Club and you weep?
	Weep. Does he say like an emboldened, an F-word?
	Does he say that? He went hard, yeah.
	He went hard. He's very much...
	I don't hear him say that that often.
	He doesn't do it. I've been looking for insults to initiate the shrug glubbers on the soundboard.
	He's really riled up about this. Yeah, he's fucking pissed.
	I'm fucking pissed. Okay, listen.
	I want my disease fixed.
	I wish that this was fucking bigger than it fucking is!
	This is the end of the media cycle?
	He's trying to stretch it out.
	I'm ready for this! Oh, God.
	What an insufferable take.
	Yeah, he's... Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
	I could say a couple things.
	Piece of shit. Dumbass.
	Stephen... Stop, man.
	He then plays a clip from seemingly disgraced mayor of New York, Eric Adams.
	Oh, yeah, yeah. Discussing...
	Yeah, discussing this Varma situation.
	Sure. Not quite done yet. There were rules that were put in place.
	People chose not to follow those rules.
	And his behavior doesn't change the fact that we save lives because of the rules that were put in place.
	And I think Mayor de Blasio made some tough decisions as well as other leaders, executives, and they carried out those decisions.
	But I need to be focused on the city, not on what his actions were.
	My biggest takeaway is that he pronounces rules like he's Cockney.
	Sorry, lady, but rules is rules.
	I don't understand. But I have a divine right.
	Your left ain't bad either, love, but rules is rules.
	That's a bad joke.
	Yeah, it wasn't good.
	He doesn't point out how, like, white people say words differently.
	How do you say bag? Bag.
	Bag, bag. Yeah.
	Pillow, pillow. Desperately aware of it down here in Texas.
	He's Canadian-American.
	We have been corrected several times.
	I do want to state that I am aware.
	Stop the emails, folks.
	I know he's American and moved to Canada and then moved back to America.
	His mom is French-Canadian.
	I don't care. Gerald has some thoughts on this statement, though.
	I don't like this response because basically what he said is, ah, we don't want to focus on the actions of our...
	That's not what we're focusing on.
	What we're focusing on right now is you destroying people's lives because they refused to take an experimental jab Winning court cases and then you, not filing the appeal, slow walking and indicating that you might for years on end.
	What they're asking him to do is simple.
	Before you came into office Mayor Adams, another person did a bad thing and you can correct it.
	Right now you're perpetuating it.
	Just drop the appeal and accept the verdict and let these people get back to work.
	And what you said, well they broke the rules when the rules were in place.
	Really? That's what you're going to stick with?
	Yeah. I'm not going to say that this is a quiet part out loud moment, but it is about as crystal clear as this could be.
	He's saying we don't care about what Varma did.
	We don't care about what he did.
	We're using what he did as a mechanism to relitigate, bring up old grievances.
	Yeah, we're still pissed about COVID because we think it's fake.
	Yep, so we are going to use the fact that this guy...
	We're going to put out a new COVID is fake t-shirt, but it's just the old COVID is fake t-shirts.
	We've got a warehouse full of this stuff.
	We've got to ship these shirts, boys.
	Thanks for explaining the entire point of this week.
	Gerald. Yeah, we don't care about what he did.
	We just want to use it as a means to bring up the old shit again.
	This is your opportunity to set things right.
	You can't change it.
	You've got to give all these COVID-denying nurses their jobs back.
	Every one of them.
	I want to see them in the hospital. I want to be treated by people who don't believe in medicine or authority.
	Yeah, right? Exactly. That's the perfect.
	I want them to tell me to pick myself up by the bootstraps and suck it up.
	And that pain is just fear leaving the body.
	The RX pad, they're like...
	Give me my bootstraps back. Grow a pair, they're right.
	Grow a pair, but don't touch a pair.
	Yes, of course not. It's stupid.
	It's dumb. And yeah, I mean, this is the thesis here.
	They found an excuse.
	They found a way to talk about something from four years ago.
	His doctor called him the hard F slur.
	That's why he's taking it out on the point.
	Oh no. Steven probably went in for some physical and it was like one single question of like, have you ever had sexual intercourse with a man?
	And he's like, what the fuck is this?
	He can't handle it.
	He can't handle the simple conversation about people.
	I think this is the door closing on, thank goodness, this has been a tough week for me, dealing with everyone tossing Varma links in my inbox and seeing this on mainstream news outlets like the New York Times.
	I hate when Steve I hate it so much.
	This is exactly what he wanted and he got it and it's really just not that big of a deal.
	It's just a clear case of hypocrisy and someone given power that they don't deserve and he is getting fired and probably is gonna have a tough time getting another job.
	And I'm glad that he got publicly shamed because he seems like maybe...
	A fucking dork.
	Kind of a fucking dork. And I guess we forgot to mention he was out on a date with this louder, with Crowder person.
	He is in an open relationship.
	Like, he was not cheating.
	His relationship with his wife appears to be what they both want, and that's fine.
	Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's it.
	That's great. Good for them. Yeah. This is Steven continuing on Gerald's thoughts.
	Yeah, you could say that, but you know what?
	It's about the fact that they do it to everybody.
	Everybody. It's about the fact that it can be prevented moving forward.
	Yeah. Do we have an axe to grant?
	Yes, because the direct result of your schools, of you losing your job, also of you being ostracized as being an anti-science zealot.
	That is all.
	That is all the direct result, or through several degrees of separation, from people like this.
	Fully disagree. Don't let that.
	And you know what? Hey, if I've done nothing, we'll go away.
	That's what we always say. We are supported by viewers like you.
	Here's the pitch. Mug Club, click that button.
	We do need your support.
	This has been an undertaking many millions of dollars.
	Yep, three million dollars lost per year.
	The entire budget right here at Mug Club is less than Stephen Colbert's salary.
	So, I think he's saying three million dollars?
	Is what he's lost? Yeah, is that just specifically with Mug Club Undercover?
	What he paid for this bullshit? I don't know.
	I don't think so. I think he's saying that that's the amount of revenue that they make.
	Maybe not the revenue they make, maybe the cost of production per year.
	I'm not sure, yeah. Either way, it's surprising, and I will dig into that a little bit, but...
	It's a weird dig at Colbert, though, huh?
	Yeah, yeah. Was that like a little hint to drop?
	I don't know why you would bring up that.
	What is Stephen Colbert's yearly salary?
	$15 million? So they said less than Stephen Colbert's salary?
	That's a pretty weird way to phrase that.
	That's like saying that I make less than Stephen Colbert's salary.
	Yeah, we're doing the same thing.
	We're talking into microphones. Yeah.
	That doesn't really make any sense, but okay.
	I mean, it's just a dumb wrap up to a dumb take.
	I love his threats though.
	It's like, if you don't want to pay us, we'll leave.
	We'll stop. This will be gone.
	It's your fault. We'll stop.
	And then when are you going to know about sex orgies that don't impact your life?
	Yeah. I feel like he was about to say something about, or like right after that, he says something about like they're funnier than he is.
	Like they do like a similar show style maybe as That's how they believe the show is structured.
	It's a counter-programming to a late-night show.
	So it's like the real version of the Colbert Report?
	That's what he's trying to do?
	Maybe, but I don't even remember the Colbert Report doing a 45-minute undercover investigation of anyone.
	No. I don't know.
	He's good on that, though.
	All I know is this is a funny fucking show.
	It's really, really good.
	Knee slapper. A seam ripper.
	Tickling my funny bone?
	Okay. I guess I'm thinking of like bent over laughing so much that my freaking butthole was exposed in, I don't know, all this butthole toxic.
	Guys, that's enough. We gotta figure it out.
	It is definitely a comedy show.
	Another comedian that we're going to discuss here.
	Remember when he called us the enemy?
	I am the enemy. And just to be clear, when I say that truth matters, it doesn't mean that any one group gets everything right.
	That's why we have an admonish button.
	So do not confuse me saying that enemies, and by that I mean those who are politically motivated, ideologically motivated to destroy someone, that they can't get some things right or that people like us or Alex Jones can't get some things wrong.
	Yeah. It's about starting off knowing that what you are selling is untrue.
	I love that he's leading into Alex Jones talking about people who believe in what they're selling.
	When he sells those friggin' ageless male...
	It's super male vitality.
	Oh, okay. What hilarious...
	What do you mean? It works. It does work.
	It makes you redder. It's the heart as a rock in red.
	Exactly. The amount of niacin just surging through my veins.
	Oh. I'm so itchy.
	So itchy. Steven doesn't correct himself.
	No, has he ever used the admonish button?
	He has, but only when it's like funny.
	Okay. You know, if he says something and then he's like, when I said so-and-so amount of immigrants were coming across the border, it's actually more so admonish me.
	Oh, that's stupid. Yeah, it's not right.
	Funniest guy soon to not be on his show.
	Dr. Jones, Dr. Jones calling.
	Here and brings us to Alex Jones, a friend of the show here, Mug Club.
	You can watch him Fridays. Of course, it's been a little intermittent because he's been dealing with the fight of his life right now with these lawsuits.
	The biggest civil suit levied against an individual, I believe, ever.
	And yesterday, a federal bankruptcy judge indicated that Alex Jones, his company Infowars, is going to be auctioned off piece by piece Starting in November to help satisfy the $1 billion judgment.
	I'm going to buy the fryers.
	I'm going to buy the hood vent.
	I'm going to try to get at least a tent set.
	You think so? I mean, you're close enough.
	You could go do some bids in person.
	Maybe I can get some weights?
	A little bench or something like that?
	I don't have a lot of room for that.
	I just want to buy a bunch of ageless mail.
	It's not called Ageless Male.
	What's it called again?
	Super Male Vitality.
	What's Ageless Male? I don't know.
	It sounds like a Ponzi scheme.
	It's another thing just like it.
	Ageless Male?
	Ageless Male. Ageless Male Max, the number one best-selling men's brand.
	I've just been slamming test boosters, dude.
	It's a testosterone booster. This is a knockoff one that Dennis has been seeing somewhere else.
	It's the gas station one.
	Yeah, I mean... Damn, you do look good, though.
	Of course, dude. That's because I've been eating nothing but Reese's Pieces cookies and ageless mail.
	It's just glowing.
	Brain Force. Yeah.
	Vaso Beat. Survival Shield X. I'm going to get that bulletproof shirt, dude.
	That's a great shirt. Either way.
	That's a pre-order of a shirt on a site that's being liquidated.
	Oh, yeah. It's not going to go well.
	Hey, we're going to Kickstarter for InfoWars.
	I mean, this is obviously an injustice.
	So to be clear, the auction is going to include the trademarks, any copyrighted material, the company, social media accounts, websites, and I believe then they'll get to assets.
	And people would say, oh, it still sort of has yet to be determined.
	But think of...
	How significant this is.
	The issue at hand is whether they'll be taking away Alex Jones's personal social media accounts, not the company's social media accounts.
	Does that seem like a ruling that's designed to simply be seeking justice?
	Take away someone's voice?
	For crying out loud, people in prison, people who committed actual crimes, Don't forego when they get out of prison their right to speak freely, provided they're not committing a crime.
	This is worse than that, you can argue.
	It's taking someone's voice and platform away with, by the way, something that is paper thin regardless of where you line up with Alex Jones.
	The one thing is silver lining.
	They will allow Alex to keep his OnlyFans.
	I will eat your ass!
	I actually do like that joke.
	That's a great joke. Playing the I will eat your ass.
	Yep, it's great. I think that's funny.
	I think they did a good joke.
	I agree. Also, when your crime comes from your mouth, I think maybe they would consider removing your possibility to broadcast moving forward and use your name.
	If you punch a lot of people, they will lock up your hands.
	If your show is called The Alex Jones Show, maybe taking away Alex Jones as the handle is a part of that.
	Yeah, for sure. Do you guys want to buy the domain name?
	I think it's going to be expensive.
	Someone's going to buy the whole thing and then try to either hire him or package it in a way that it appears to be something similar.
	I mean, I would love it if someone with a lot of money would buy it and then just melt it down.
	I'm going to buy the domain name and forward it over to Woke YouTube.
	Shane Smith buys Infowars.
	God, if Shane Smith bought it, that would be wonderful, wouldn't it?
	I don't think he would be surprised if Steven tried to buy a lot of it.
	I don't think he has that kind of money.
	He probably doesn't, but... Maybe.
	Yeah. But look, if you're going after a judgment from somebody, right?
	So Alex Jones had the largest personal judgment, I believe, in history for an individual levied against him over a billion dollars for comments that he made, right?
	We talked about that. If you're going to go after a judgment like that and somebody can't pay it, He's got a profitable business.
	Let him keep working and paying you over time.
	What the fuck is wrong with this?
	That's not what it's about.
	And I think, guys, I don't know if you can find that clip of the lawyer basically saying...
	Yeah, in the closing statements.
	In the closing statements, he wanted to make sure that he couldn't do this again or something.
	I can't remember. It was to make sure that no one out there Never attempted to do something like Alex Jones did again.
	They're trying to silence this guy from everything.
	They're trying to take his voice away completely.
	It is so obvious.
	This is not about making any kind of restitution, even if you believed he made a mistake.
	Financial. It's about making sure it's this punitive punishment, this ongoing punishment for Alex.
	He can never speak again.
	Really interesting that this liquidation is going to happen in November, by the way.
	Really, really interesting timing on all of this.
	And who did the worst deed?
	Mr. Varmer, spreading misinformation?
	Right. Or Alex?
	Alex. Alex.
	Alex Jones. Absolutely Alex, a thousand percent.
	You like the implication that the families care about the money?
	Yeah, this is like, I love my analogy, this is like allowing Andrew Tate to traffic more girls to pay off the girls he has to settle.
	It's kind of true.
	Yeah. Allegedly.
	I don't know. I know that you owe these people money because you tried to have their father killed.
	So why don't you try and make some more money trying to get other people killed and then use that money to pay us.
	So fucking stupid. His crimes will continue.
	Yes. He's Alex Jones.
	Would you let the burglars sell the things he stole from you to pay you back?
	That's a Ponzi scheme of crime.
	Yeah, they want a Ponzi scheme of crime.
	It's ridiculous. That's literally what they're wanting.
	I think this next clip is what's...
	It wasn't Mark Bankston, but it was his co-counsel and what he said about Alex.
	I ask that with your verdict, you not only...
	Take Alex Jones' platform that he talks about away.
	I ask that you make certain he can't rebuild the platform.
	That's what matters.
	Take him out of this discourse, of this misinformation, of this peddling of lies, and make sure he can't do it again.
	That is punishment. That is deterrence.
	You should say that to your barber.
	His hair looked fine and it was Bill Ogden.
	Isn't Nick bald? No, he's getting there.
	He's got normal ways to speak.
	Punish him. Yeah.
	He ruined people's lives to try and sell ageless male knockoffs.
	And he did successfully increase his sales off the backs of dead children.
	And Steven goes through the whole list of reasons that Alex Jones is innocent or didn't deserve this.
	He says that he only spoke about Sandy Hook 22 minutes, which that's just false.
	I mean, yeah, we don't need to...
	Yeah, we've ran through all these facts.
	I think it was during our episode of Stephen's interview on Pierce Morgan, if you want to go listen to that.
	But also, go listen to Knowledge Fight.
	They cover this shit. And even their episodes with Mark Bankston on them are perfect.
	And we might be talking to Mark at some point in the future.
	We've touched base, and Mark, I believe, is still representing...
	Mauricio Garcia, who's a 36-year-old Texas man who was falsely identified as a neo-Nazi mass shooter.
	Remember the Allen, Texas mall shooting?
	I unfortunately don't.
	Yeah, there's a lot of them.
	Too many of those happen.
	But yeah, they filed a lawsuit against several media outlets and personalities that used his likeness, a photo of him, identifying him as the shooter of that outlet mall.
	Sure. And once that case moves forward, I'm...
	I imagine we're going to be talking a lot about it.
	Yeah. It's sad.
	This whole thing is a disaster.
	He's using it as just a pawn.
	I mean, he does go on and say, like, I only brought Alex into my circle because he was being persecuted.
	And then we became friends.
	I lifted him up.
	He was the puppy stuck in the ravine.
	And I lifted him up.
	And I saved him for you.
	Yeah, I saved him.
	I saved Nick Dipp.
	Yeah, from a disastrous career of comedy.
	Lift you up. I'm ruining Josh.
	Crater's wings. This whole thing is bad, but thank goodness it's over.
	I know. Gosh. We're almost done.
	Well, this clip I may cut from the regular episode because it's too foul.
	This is bonus con.
	Ooh, boco. But I don't know.
	You may not remember this, but there was a window where we were honest, and this is what a monkeypox PSA looked like.
	Are you a f***er?
	Do you got chicken pox on your ass?
	You ever go to a queer music festival and come back with your balls feeling like braille?
	Did you visit the Folsom Street Fair, partake, and come back with a bloody ass itch?
	Burning Man?
	More like burning ass.
	Maybe you got monkey pox.
	Contact your healthcare professional today.
	And stop doing gay s**t!
	Straight to the point, saves lives.
	It's direct! I actually like how it's direct.
	I don't know if we leave that in.
	I guess it's a good kind of coda.
	I think this might truly be the time where I honestly mean that's about all I can handle.
	For this week. That is miserable, dumb shit out of these guys' mouths, and I can't handle it.
	It's unbearable.
	If you disagree with us, feel free to convince us.
	I'm quitting. Feel free to convince us otherwise.
	This has been a nightmare week and Stephen's gotten far more attention than I wish that he had.
	I hate it. I don't want...
	It's bad. And we are approaching four weeks left.
	Four weeks left until the election.
	Where he's going to be using his electoral integrity map to make our lives an even worse hell.
	Yeah, we're going to brush up on electioneering laws and call in all of the crimes he commits.
	It's going to be great at shrug.club.
	Wait, no, we're going to be doing it live at wokeyoutube.com.
	That's right. Sorry promoting it now.
	That's going to suck. This whole thing is bad.
	I'm sorry I brought you into this.
	Sorry, world. And thank you so much for listening, folks, who did.
	We made it this far.
	It really means a lot to us.
	You can find us on X at Van Crowder.
	Go to shrug.club if you think we're doing a good job or if you just want some free bonus content.
	That's the place for us.
	All of that. Are you getting any new reviews or anything?
	I don't know. I think we did, actually.
	I just got sad because I think next week might be a good opportunity to dive back in the archives, if Stephen can keep his life together for a little bit longer, to listen to his thoughts on the results of the 2016 election when Donald Trump became president.
	But I don't know. He probably will do something fucked up or bad.
	This is a review from Tyon Blue.
	They say five stars. Fantastic.
	I need to be more appreciative right now.
	I'm just so deflated.
	We're so sorry. We love you, but we hate him.
	Oh, no, this is just an update to their other review, I believe.
	A great outside view of the lunacy of the current state of right-wing politics.
	Yeah, I remember that.
	Yeah, never mind. They just added, thanks for the shout-out.
	Best of luck to y'all from Georgia, so we don't need to give it another, because then he'll update his again.
	Yeah, do it.
	Let's have a conversation in the comments section.
	All right, well, no, I appreciate it.
	Give us a would-you-rather.
	If you... If you want to rate and review us on iTunes, it would mean a lot to us because, of course, people do get confused about the content of our show when they're looking for the alternative.
	Yeah. Our damn fucking millipede got in my house.
	Excuse me? There's a millipede in my house.
	All right, well, you better go deal with that.
	Until next time, I'm Byron.
	Eat this thing out the door.
	I'm Jared. I'm Dennis.
	Take care.
	You've been listening to an AudioWall original, produced by Byron McCoy.
