Robbie Martin joins to dissect Pizzagate’s revival, linking it to figures like Podesta, Cernovich, and Stone while dismissing Benghazi as a parallel, never-fading conspiracy. The episode mocks absurd schemes—like Frontier Services Group’s $20K/month Yemen deployments—before pivoting to meta-apologies for past ethnic jokes. Satire collides with QAnon’s roots in Pizzagate, exposing how fringe theories persist despite media fatigue, revealing how disinformation thrives on recycled narratives.

Hey, Liz, I think we got to quit doing the podcast.
What?
Why?
I've been looking, and this thing, podcasting, is going to fail.
People are already starting to watch videos more, apparently talking in person is real big now.
But I found a new industry for us to get into.
Oh, great.
What is it?
Hear me.
It's called Frontier Services Group.
It's run by a guy, Mike King or something, Eric.
Something like that.
All we have to do is we go into one of these cool countries in Northern Africa and we train people.
What do you mean, train?
Like train them in a podcast?
Or like coding or something.
It wasn't super clear on that, but it's like $20,000 a month.
We don't know how to code.
I mean, we could take it.
Well, the thing is, we take a little boot camp or something.
We learn how to code and then we go to Yemen.
They send us to boot camp and then we go to Yemen?
Yes.
That is the thing to do.
Tell you, we can make $20,000 a month.
And they give you all these new clothes.
And they said they let me fly a plane.
I think this is a terrible idea.
Well, I signed this up, baby.
Podcast is over.
Fuck.
Sorry.
Hey, Liz.
Hey.
Can we delete that, please?
No.
I'm overruled.
Overruled.
I also wasn't.
Wait, are you overruling?
I'm overruling.
So here's what are you overruling?
I am overruling.
And I'm just giving listeners a little thing about what happens in our podcast.
Whenever Liz says something I find offensive, possibly about my ethnicity or about the fact that you do do that.
You do do that.
No, don't do that.
That's not true.
And I hate when you do this.
My ethnicity is Belgian, by the way.
Oh, oh, you talk.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Also Jewish.
Sorry.
Didn't know we were bringing that up.
I thought you were talking about the Walloonian thing.
All right.
All right.
Welcome.
Cool world.
Cool.
To Truanon.
Hey, I am Brace, who, by the way, yes, I am from Walloon.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
I'm Liz.
We are, of course, joined by producer Young Chomsky and.
The Vile Dutchman.
Boy, oh, boy, do we have an episode tonight?
We've got, or today, depending on what time of the day you're listening to this.
This one's live.
This one's live.
We'll do it live.
Fuck it.
We're talking, oh man.
I think a lot of people have been waiting for us to talk about this.
So I'm pretty excited.
We're talking Pizzagate.
We're talking Podesta.
Oh, yeah.
We're talking Cernovich.
Yes, ma'am.
Roger Stone.
Sorry.
I really did not mean to do that.
Sorry.
I was going to make a group sex joke and I just my bad.
Well, and we're also talking about the big fish, Mr. Alex Jones.
We're so excited.
Should we get into it?
Let's press play.
Let's Roll the Interview00:01:10
I don't really know where I'm going with this one.
Let's roll the interview before I keep talking.
Welcome to the main event.
We have with us today, straight from, we had to get cue clearance to get this guy.
I'm telling you, it was difficult.
I had to go all the way to North Korea.
We have with us today Robbie Martin, the director, creator of a fantastic documentary, very heavy agenda, and the man behind Media Roots Radio.
Welcome.
How you doing, Robbie?
I'm doing great.
Thanks for having me on, guys.
Yeah, absolutely.
We have brought you here special to talk about something that I keep thinking is going to go away and then returns stronger and even more bizarre basically every time I encounter it.
