Badlands Media - The Audio Files Ep. 36: Q Special Part 1

Episode Date: March 15, 2026

Hosted by Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot, this special edition of The Audio Files explores the music and artists connected to the cultural movement that grew around Q. Brad and Jay dig into songs that became symbolic within the community, discussing the artists, lyrics, and moments that resonated with listeners who felt part of a larger awakening. Throughout the episode, the hosts reflect on how certain tracks captured the spirit of questioning authority, searching for truth, and building community through music. They examine how independent artists and grassroots audiences helped propel these songs into a shared soundtrack for the movement, while also discussing the emotional and cultural impact the music had on listeners during pivotal moments. This episode highlights the intersection of music, culture, and digital-era movements, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the artists and songs that shaped the sound of the community.

of the badlands explain those badlands that's a hell of a name hello everybody and welcome to another episode of the audio files this is going to be uh the inevitable is always going to happen at some point our cue themed episode uh part one as several we're going to do with this and today's episode will feature either bands that start with the letter cue or songs let's start with the letter cue with also a few actual songs tied to the Q movement sprinkled in. Yeah, speaking of Savior of the Universe, right? Sweet Thought Queen singing Flash Gordon would be apropos to start the show. That was from 1980.

And that was really cool. I remember seeing that movie in the movie theater as a kid. I think it was like the greatest thing to have a movie completely scored by a rock band, you know, and a really cool rock band at that. I know you and I are both big Queen fans. So, yeah, we thought we'd kick off the Q episode with a very, probably the, probably the greatest band whose name begins with a Q. Yeah, without that, you know, I was surprised. There weren't as many as I thought they were going to be.

Yeah, it's very, it's very slim pickings as far as like, yeah, a list of bands from, you know, with the name Q, it's really not that prominent. No, it definitely isn't. That's why we also had to add songs that start with the letter Q. But also artists. Well, should we go to a little theme song or possibly? Well, it's quite up to you, whatever you'd like to do. I know we were going to also talk about certain posts and a certain post here who was queued at one point.

Okay, yeah, we could say, I actually forgot though. We're going to. Why don't we talk to you about like, well, let's, why don't we start? with how you found Q. And I'll tell my little brief story, too, for anybody who's not heard it before. Okay. Yeah. So, you know what?

Let me pull this up here. This is, Q was dropped in my lap. And I was here. I was in this, they call it a shit posting group, Jay. Maybe you've heard of the concept where. I've heard of it. There's just a couple rules to shit posting is, you can't get mad.

You know, if you see something that offends you and you definitely will see things that offend you, you either laugh about it, make a joke, a comeback joke about it, or you just move along. But this is a group where you could just kind of pretend like you were, it's the 90s, but on the computer. That's how I clarify it. So this was called the Anti-Social Justice Warrior Pinochet's Helicopter Party. So I had seen this article, Saudi Prince killed in a helicopter crash. And thinking I was funny, it was like, which, okay, which one of you did this, right?

And then, oh, my God. And then this, in the comments to this article, this person, Edward Block, random guy on Facebook, wherever he is, he goes, catch up. And he gave me the video poll, Q clearance, Clarence, Nan, is it happening? and by Tracy Beans, which went over the first week of QPOS. And I, again, because just to go back, this is November 5th. There's only one week of QPOS at this point, I think almost exactly eight days. And I had just, sometimes in construction, you'll have a little gap in between jobs.

It was supposed to have about a one-month gap in between these jobs. Turned into like three or four months. I just got off a job. And I basically, I watched this video like, oh my gosh, because it said enough about Soros and some of the things that were happening in Saudi Arabia. The purge was going on. That's how the drop started. And they were talking about things that were happening before they were happening, like a day or two before they made the news. And just in general with that, but then also talking about Soros and other things that I knew at least a little bit enough about that I was.

like, holy crap, this is, I think this is Trump, right? And then early on, too, they say that post-14. And I was like, this is real. And I was, I spent the next, I spent that whole night for hours and hours trying to answer the questions. And then I spent the next however many months until I went back to work in February, just trying to answer every question in midnight digs. And it was, by the time I went back to work, I felt like the whole work, I felt like the whole world was changed. It felt weird going to that job. I'll never forget it. And yeah, that's how that's how my Q journey started. I can imagine. When did you start your where we go on? We go all channel on YouTube. How long after like you found Q did you start decoding and doing doing the stuff you were doing at the time?

Yeah. So right away, it was posting decodes in like in some of those groups there. And then I was trying like, then as Q groups started popping up on Facebook, I would join them. And I would start doing digs in there. And I would post a video or two here, like messing around. And stuff happened, I'd make like a little video or a little clip of something that I'd post them in Facebook. But what happened with Facebook groups is they're there for a day or two. And then they get buried. Like, you know, after two days, they're like a million things down. No one will ever see them again.

So I had my YouTube page, which I used to love making skits on with my friends and posting my musing and stuff. But it had been dormant for years. So around June, I believe the first thing I ever posted was on Trump's birthday, June 14th. flag day of 2018, I said, you know what? These videos are getting buried. I'm going to start posting them on my dormant YouTube just so I could have them, a place where I can keep them and go back and have a place on the web to go. And then they start getting a little traction and then a little more traction and then a little more traction.

And then it was off to the races after a while. But yeah, my first YouTube, where are we going when we go a video, was June 18th, 2018. And I named my channel, where we go when we go all, as like, this was like a secret code back then. I was like,

I named it that because that was something secret that no one knew about, that only certain people would see it and be like, oh, this is, okay, I know what that means. And watch it. It was kind of like a little like inside wink. And then a couple months later,

everything blew up, but it wasn't so secret anymore. But yeah. Yeah, and I'm glad you named it that. because that's how I found you. I, I, you guys have probably heard me tell

this story before, but if not, I'll just make it brief, but I think it was this, you know, early summer of 2018. So I was a little late to the game, but I was,

I was in all the UFO stuff. And I was really, I have been my whole life, but I was really kind of obsessing on it at that time. And I went to this conference called Contact in the Desert, which is out near Palm Springs and have a house out there, said,

oh, it'll be fun. You know, go out there for the weekend and check out all the, who's, of the UFO community. And one of the featured speakers was one Jordan Sather of Badlands Media. So close that. Yeah, yeah.

And, you know, like anything, I didn't know what the UFO community thought of Donald Trump or, you know, any of this stuff. So I just assumed that it's going to be mostly liberals and I'm going to have to put up my, my guard and just kind of, you know, roll with it and just listen to all the Trump bashing and try to, you know, not let it bother me too much. because that's kind of how it is when I go to concerts or watch TV shows or watch movies. You know, it's always that same, okay, just don't let it get to you. You have to talk yourself off the ledge a little bit. But to my surprise and delight, I found that a lot of the speakers at the UFO community were very pro-Trump. And coming at it from an angle that basically he's working with an intergalactic federation

and, you know, going to save the universe, literally like, Lash Gordon. And one of the first speakers I saw that weekend was, I can't think of his last name, but John, I forget his last name, but he's the guy that they modeled at the X-Files character of David Dukovney played after. He was like the real life FBI agent who ran the X-Files. And he's like, he's super pro-Trump. And you could tell, like just from the lecture, I was like, okay, this isn't so bad. You know, and by the time I got to say there, I was like, okay, this guy, this guy is somebody I want to follow. So I followed Jordan and he was doing QD codes.

I didn't know what Q was. There was another guy there that's on ancient aliens named Mike Barra. And I started following his. He would do like little live streams, maybe 20 or 30 of us in there, even though he was on like the history channel and stuff. He didn't have like that big of a following for some reason. But he's talking about Q and I'm like, okay, what is this Q thing? And finally figured out where to where to find it, et cetera.

And then, you know, I read it. I got caught up. You know, I was sick for like a week and I just got caught up on all the Q drops I'd missed. And then it was, of course, it was like every day you're waiting for the next drop. And then there were go-to people I would go to to kind of hear their thoughts on decodes. And but yeah, so I was just randomly looking for anything Q-related that I could possibly find and consume. And I just went to YouTube and typed in where we go one, we go all. and your channel came up

and that's how I found you and I started following you and watching all your videos so and here we are doing a show together it's kind of surreal still man that is so cool man yeah the happy little accident there I guess that was before it was secret code to us

YouTube didn't even know it's hard to think that there was a time where YouTube wouldn't look at a channel with a white cue for a logo that'll be when we go all and be like man exactly yeah i remember what cue told us basically to kind of be incognito and like take off all the key references i mean my twitter was just like you know everything was hashtag deli you know where we go

when we go everything yeah i mean everything like you know nothing could stop what is coming i mean every cue is there was it was like all over and i'm like i got zapped yeah dude yeah that was i think that was like september 2020 yeah i changed my page name to logical faction. All my views fell off the table. I think a lot of people would get like, oh, a new video from logical faction. I'm like, what the hell is this?

You know, and they just... Oh, so you followed Q's instructions then. I followed Q's instructions, and then the next month we all got banned. And I think people thought that I had already been banned, so it wasn't on the radar. And then I'd see all these lists,

and none of them had my channel in it. Because I was like already kind of banned myself a month before that. And then I just totally flatlined. I lost all my followers. No one followed me or found me on any other platform. It was bad. And then once I started,

then like the next year, I was like, I'm just going to go back to my regular name. And it was about a year later, we were already and all migrated to Rumble and bitcher and all those. And when I started using my regular name, then people started finding me in on the comments, we're like,

I can't believe I found you again. Oh, my God. But yeah, so that camouflage post, really uh really rustled my jimmies you say that was uh yeah we all got banned anyway i think they i think they heard that coming down the pike and they were trying to oh for sure and you were like one of the one of the few you know smart ones who actually paid attention and i didn't i was like they're never going to find me i'm such a small account and you got bad oh yeah yeah just

and i really i didn't have i mean a couple thousand followers that was it it was like nothing you know Well, it was something, but it was compared to, like, some of the big people, I'm like, oh, there's no way I'm getting caught up in this. But, yeah, I couldn't have been more obvious. I think my name was like metallicue or something like that. My handle on Twitter, it was like something stupid like that. Like, yeah, I couldn't have been more obvious. But anyways, yeah, we did the great migration. And we all kind of were lost in the desert for a little bit, but then we found our way back.

Yes, sir. Yeah. So, you know, in those early days, maybe, okay, so I have a story, and you guys are free to analyze it because I feel like there was Q referenced me at one point. And I've always felt this way. And it's totally up for debate, right? It could be a coincidence. But I want to see what you think. And then I would say, I would like to see what you guys think at the comments.

And this is probably a cool place to start. but we have this post here. This is September 2nd, 2018 from Q. This is played by operation specialist pre-event last night. Now, I believe this event that they are referencing, this was on September 2nd. I believe on September 1st, there was that event where they did that strike in Syria,

the Moab and where they took out like the chemical facility. I believe that is what they're referencing. So they are referencing a real event. But here is what where it gets me is. If you click the link, right? It takes you to this. You guys remember the old magic sword in the face of evil. I remember when this post happened going,

man, that song sounds really familiar. Why do I know this song, right? And it took it like, I remember for like weeks. It just like kept coming to my, my head, I'm like, that is killing me where I just saw from. And then I realized, I had used it in a video just one month before that.

And it's funny, but now my page is back so I can actually, I've tried to tell people about this. And they're like, really? And then I had done the point to. Yeah, now you got it back with all your videos and everything, right? Oh, why is this not showing any description? That's weird, huh? Let me see if I could. Media.

There it is. I'll see that. I'm still shadow band, probably. probably. So if you come down here, it shows you that one of the songs I used in this was in the face of evil magic sword. So that's how I freaking knew it. Also, it's about, you know, Mockingbird media. I broke it up here trying to be clever. But Operation Mockingbird, Operation and Operation Specialists, I don't know why. So to me, like I made an Operation Mockingbird video one month before this with this specific song in it.

And then here is Operation Specialists. So I always thought maybe that was a little nod or maybe kind of a sure way to like highlight a video without highlighting it. Like people will start looking for Magic Sword or Operation and then they can accidentally fall into my Operation Mockenberg video. Anyway, I kind of thought that was an early nod to me. I would, okay, so this is the first time I've heard this story. And I would say, I would say absolutely only because, I mean, that magic sword in the face of evil song, it's got to be kind of obscure, doesn't it?

I mean, it's totally obscure. Yeah. You just were looking for like music to play in the background of your video, kind of, and that's how you found it? That's how I found it, yep. It's just a random, it's a random instrumental that I was like. Like, you know, I was using songs like this at the time. And yeah. Yeah.

And this is so this is still like less than a year into the Q post. Yeah, very early. Yeah. That was that post this June 2018. And then Q posted this September 2nd. So like the end of June. So about a month and a week later. And a week.

Yeah. So what else I would say about that is your channel was called where we go one week. wall and I would imagine I would imagine Q the Q team was doing the same thing I did and how I found you probably like seeing who's picking up on this because they were they had to monitor the growth of the community and and I would imagine you were very much on their radar very early on and that would be confirmed because you you actually did get Q'd sometime after that right? Yeah, February of 2019, uh, 28. 808 was this video right here.

So that link is now again. Yeah, so five months later, they actually, you actually got queued. So like, that confirms you were on their radar. So it's not a stretch to think that five months before they queued you, you would have been on the radar as well. So I don't know,

man, I'm going to chalk that up as a win in your column there. Okay. All right, because that's my first. I always thought, you know, I was like, I think that might have been a hat tip, but maybe.

So what I did was for Magic Sword, instead of just playing the instrumental, I clicked out the part of my video that uses that. It's a video on Saul Olinsky also. It's the Mockingbird Media and Saul Linsky. And the first minute of this video is the end of the song before it, but it sets up what I'm talking about. I go over Saul Linsky's 13th rule for radicals. and then you'll hear it.

Let me play this one more time for everybody, just so you can hear the beginning of this song, so you'll be able to recognize it when it comes in. Okay, just that you got that bug in your ear now. Oh, yeah. And here we go. Here's a little early, where we're going to go all, Saul Olensky 13th Rules for Radical.

Let's take a look at Saul Olensky's 13th rule for Radical. Pick to target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics, there are certain rules that the organizers should always regard as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and frozen. He continues the target might say, why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well? When you freeze the target, you disregard these arguments and for the moment all others to blame. Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all of the

others come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target. You could put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables, right? The racist, sexes, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it. The other important point in choosing of a target is that it must be personification. Not something general and abstract, such as a community segregated practices or a major corporation or city hall. It must be personal. He continues, one acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils are on the other. A leader may struggle towards a decision and weigh the merits and demerits of a situation which is 52% positive and 48% negative.

But once the decision is reached, he must be a decision. must assume that his cause is 100% positive and the opposition is 100% negative. Many liberals during our attack on the then school superintendent were pointing out that after all he wasn't 100% a devil. He was a regular churchgoer, he was a good family man and he was generous in the contributions to charity. Can you imagine in the arena of conflict charging that so-and-so is a racist bastard and then diluting the impact of the attack with Qualifying remarks that he's a good church-going man, generous to charity and a good husband. This becomes political idiocy. In Donald Trump's America, everyone is speculating as to who should be the most afraid.

Black people, Latinos, the English language. Do you think Donald Trump is racist? I do. I do. You do. And I'll tell you why. It's tough to say that somebody is not racist when they're doing all the racist things. You know, sometimes I feel like we need to invent like a racism Richter scale. Because racism in America is such a loaded word.

It feels like people are more afraid of being called racist than actually being racist. Nobody wants to be called racist. No, people go, don't call me racist. I might do these things, but you don't call me racist. Donald Trump, boy, I think he's a racist. He's a race baby, xenophobic, religious, bigger. A racist, sexist, homophobic president. Donald Trump is proven that he is a thin-skinned racist.

But is that calling him a name to him? No, it hits the facts. I don't have a racist phone in my body. Donald Trump. While Trump claims he wants to make America great again, he's had some not so great things to say about the very people he claims he wants to lead. Don't believe me? Here are some of Donald Trump's greatest racist hits.

Hello, thanks for having me. Let's start with the New York Times. That was an editorial this morning. That certainly grabbed our attention. We'll show you a piece of it at home. It says in part, where to begin. How about with a simple observation? The president of the United States is a racist.

It went on to say he's a liar. Is this a shift in how media outlets are reporting on Trump? You have seen hesitation in the past for major mainstream news organizations hesitating to call outright Donald Trump a racist. Okay, they're hesitant to call him racist. I don't know if you knew this. Yeah, very hesitant. Because that lady talking about.

Every other word out of everyone's mouth at that point was Yeah, it is exactly Solensky's rule number 13 there, right? Just repeat, repeat, repeat. 13 and 5, yeah, exactly. And it's kind of interesting. And then ridicule it. Yeah.

Yeah. Wow. It gave me a little PTSD to even watch that video because it was just so bad back then. And it reminded me of how we were, those of us defending Donald Trump were very much on an island, you know? Yeah. There wasn't the strength we have in our community right now because of the unity and what all we've been through.

I feel like anybody who went out there and made a claim like that right now would get shot down so fast by all of us. Whereas back then, it just went unchecked. You know, the media just got away with it. So we've come a long way. It's kind of cool to go back and look and, you know, just seven, you know, a little seven plus years, seven and a half years, right? Not bad.

That's seven and a half years. Damn, dude. It's been quite a ride, for sure. You sound like a teenager in that video, too, by the way. Now the mature bread has gone on. Mature Brad is now hosting audio files. As the mics change, the voice gets more profound, more mature. Yeah, that's awesome.

But, yeah, so, you know, it kind of, there's a little segue that I feel here, because in going back to those days, when I said, like, when we were all banned from YouTube, We were kind of like stranded out in the desert and until we all kind of found our way to the other platforms, reconnected again. And there is another band on our list of cues that is from the desert, palm desert, to be exact, which is where my family has a house. That's Queens of the Stone Age, a desert band. This is a quintessential desert band sound. It's supposed to kind of make you feel like you're driving through the desert with,

with the top down and listen into the to the raspy guitar rift of this song um and this is a fantastic song no one knows um babe groles playing drums on it um it's from 2002 we don't we don't dip into the 2000s nearly enough but uh yeah agreed yeah shall we play that then we'll get back to some of the some of the cue stuff we were talking about oh queen's is the stone age no one knows that's a cool jam huh oh yeah dude i it was love the queens in this own age their feel and I know growl played on that first album with them right and then and then they went on yeah I mean I think they were basically a supergroup you know kind of at the beginning um and they you know Josh home he was the the leader of that band he was in a

band called caius which was a a band also from Palm desert and they were kind of a I don't know what you call him desert metal I don't know you know KY USS yeah okay I've totally I know the name so I know I've heard them. Right. Yeah. We're definitely like a metal band, you know, and kind of a sludgy metal band. And this was, you know,

what spawned from that. They also morphed into Eagles of Death Metal, which was another kind of side project here. So, yeah, yeah, they're great, a really cool band. I mean, I should have dived more into that whole desert scene because there was a whole scene out there. There's a whole documentary about it, you know, the whole scene out in Palm Springs area in the early 2000s.

There's a, I think it's called the Desert Sessions. I think it's either a documentary or there may be a soundtrack that goes with it. I got to do a little more homework on that. I mean, that was a scene that like I should have been a part of since I was out there all the time, you know, in those days. and never knew much about these bands until sort of after they kind of broke, you know, because at the time they were just local bands in the desert area. So, but yeah, I think it's weird to see like a whole scene pop off like that, you know. And especially in such a bizarre place.

I mean, it's one thing that's like Hollywood or, you know, Seattle or, you know, but, you know, Palm Desert, that's, that's weird. Yeah, there was always, it was something. There's like a bunch of metal bands. It was like all that remains on earth. It was like three or four. They all came from the same neighborhood in, man, I want to say like, Connecticut or Massachusetts or something.

I remember one day just thinking like, how does that happen? Yeah. The whole cluster of you guys, you know, usually figure one, one from your scene will make it. One won't, but. Yeah, and even one makes it from your scene, it's, you know, it's a big deal. But for like multiple bands to make it, that's kind of impressive. So, yeah. So, I know, I'll do a deep dive.

Maybe we'll do a little segment in future episode about the desert scene. Yeah, that would be cool. I'd be interested to dive into that too. And if you find that, instrumental, definitely send it to me. I thought we would, maybe we would jump back into like the Q theme. Now, this doesn't come from the Q post. This is, this is a song from 1982 that Abby first show. showed me and I don't know man

I don't know if time travel is real but some of these things it's like literally like this is the voice of Q I'm talking to you from the future something like that I forget but there are just things where like pop up like this is like is there something to this I don't know it's it's pretty

fascinating I there's you know any one of these things by themselves but you know like like the the last president book and all you know it's yes they just start you start putting them all together and it's hard not to at least wonder you know if there's some element to that it's something there's a story too abby knows it better than i do so i'll probably butcher but apparently like this band there were the people who do this uh bruce sweden and micha forte they they have all these songs that have like other singers

on them and this one song is the only song that this lady sang on and it's kind of different than all the rest it's something like that but it's the voice of Q by Q from thank today too and I don't know it's a

funky jam either way but though we could rock into this one it's fun let's check it out a little boy at the end come back Q come back is that so perfect so perfect and I

I know people that are like waiting for Q to come back. I don't know if Q will come back. What do you think? I thought they would start posting Q post again during the second administration. But I guess they haven't yet, so we'll see. But I do think. So, yeah. Yeah, I have mixed thoughts on that.

You know, sometimes I think like, well, the op was successful and got us all digging. It got us all learning to question things. and maybe there's there just isn't a need for it as much as we all like the epilogue to the movie, you know, we would love to see a return. And maybe there will be some acknowledgement at some point. But it is pretty crazy in recent weeks when we talk about like the Overton window and like, you know, the goalposts moving and shifting when you have like Bill Maher saying that maybe Q is owed an apology. That's pretty crazy to think how far we've come from when just the mere mention of

it was just like, you know, you're completely laughed at. Yeah, I love seeing these people have to eat shit. Yeah, that's it. Oh, it's so nice, dude. And it's like, you know that Bill Maher, do you see Trump talking shit on him the other day?

It was like this guy, he's like, he sucks. But, you know, he's trying to like, yeah, it was a really funny post, but, yeah, then they're all the whole bunch of them, oh, but you know, he sits weird things like they eat babies like no they didn't they did not say that but now you're

seeing again people are exploding because the stuff you talked about where it's very real and not these some of the some of the more crazier things that were shared even though some of those things might be real as well right and those things are all coming to fruition now so everyone's like going to their local conspiracy theories and being like, sorry. Yeah, maybe you were right. Yeah. No, it is, it is nice to see people eating crow a little bit. And I, you know, certainly not going to give anyone like Bill Maher any credit.

I just feel like, you're like in the coupos, right? You're part of the Red Shoes Club. You're not, you're not. They love productions. Yeah, kid love productions, right? Like, this guy's trying to get ahead of something here. That's the way I see it. I see it as a good sign when we're.

looking at the 5G warfare for a guy like him to even bring up Q and say maybe Q's owed an apology. I think that's a great sign of panic. So yeah, these are fun times. I think it was good timing for this Q themed show as well. Actually, that song was really good, too. I mean, I can picture a bunch of break dancers like spinning around on their cardboard, you know, to that song.

It was really pretty interesting. not the kind of music I listened to at the time, but I dig it. It had a good beat to it. Yeah. While I was playing, I thought there was something like, I feel like Jay's going to like this. Yeah, and I've heard it before, like just recently, though. I'm sure maybe it was played on one of our shows or something on Badlands, but I remember thinking it. I was like, how come I didn't hear this back in the day?

I was around in 82. I don't remember this song, but it's probably because I was not a very good dance. let alone a break dancer, so I probably wasn't listening in those kind of tunes at the time. But there was a dance song from that era. The same year, 1982, there was another band called Q-feel, and they had a quasi-hit, like early MTV Days, called Dancing in Heaven, Orbital Bebop. And I just thought it's curious, you know, seeing what year that voice of Q was in 1982. And this song, a band called Q Feel, dancing in Heaven, is the same year, a scent pop band from 1982.

Hot year for Q. Hot year for Q. We're going to have to look up in the post, whatever post is 1980. All right. Let's do it big right now live while we're playing a little Q feel. And what's this one called the year? What's the name of the song? It's called Dancing in Heaven and in parentheses, Orbital B-Bop.

Nice. Yeah. Yeah, dance and mood, man. I'm in a dance of mood. Two dance songs in a row. That's a first, I think, for audio files, right? Yeah, definitely a first for the audio file. And, of course, for those of you were wondering, we did look into post-1982 and post-82.

1982 is just a link to a article on Fox News about a Chinese company that reportedly hacked Hillary Clinton's server and got a copy of every email in real time, which is, you know, I guess always. kind of apropos in a way when you think about like where the Clintons are kind of on the spot this next coming week. So. Yeah, remember she X China to hack Donald Trump? Remember like her and Rachel Maddow?

I was like, is this happening right now? I know. And then totally gaslit everybody saying that you know, Donald Trump was was trying to, you know, pollute with Russia to dig up dirt on her. Russia, Russia, Russia. Remember

Russia? You know, every now and then I'll still see with someone online. Like, well, that's because Trump works for the Russians. I'm like, oh, my God. Are you this far behind? It's really, really laughable, isn't it? And somebody's like this is like, like not all. It wasn't even like, hey, we debunk this.

You know, us internet sleuths debunked this. Like, no, the FBI did a $30 million investigation into it. For two years, yeah. And released an official report that says, no they weren't exactly and somehow they missed that all they heard was rachel maddow good times yeah yeah so how much longer was it after you said it was february of 2019 that you got queued yeah yes the february i want to say what was that like so at this point you're you're you've been into Q for over a year and a half at this point,

around a year and a half. Yeah, that was, oh my gosh, yeah, I'll say I'll pull it up here. Yeah, that was this one. It's funny. I know the queue alerts loosely. He's a nice guy, though. And back of the day, I was like, you should just put the Rumble link in because the Rumble link is live, right?

Because I didn't have my page back. Yeah. You should tell him, I'd be like, you should just change it back now because it's the regular link. But, yeah, this, was wild. I, you know, like I just posted the video right earlier that day. So it's in your cash memory. So when I saw this post, it was like, okay, I click it. And it pops up to my video. So sometimes, I don't know if people realize this or have seen this before, but sometimes the

last video you're watching will pop up first on your phone anyway, because it's in your cash memory. I was like, oh, man, all right. So I close out the screen or whatever or some whatever. I close out everything on my phone. And then I go to reopen it fresh and it comes up again. I was like, what? Why is this coming up? This is coming up again?

And I go to the comments. And then as everyone used to thoroughly enjoy back in the day, you got cute, good, good. Congratulations. Yeah. That was like, whoa. You know, like, boom. that just like blew my mind and two things happened one i was i was almost emotional about it

was just like this is crazy to me that this just happened and then i started thinking in that you know my page was named where we go when we go all and i was like oh crap i'm like directly representing the movement now and then i went from like this is awesome to like oh god i hope i haven't made any mistakes you know that kind of like lit a fire under my eyes to try and be increasingly more careful. And again, there's no way around it. You put 100 things into a video, the law of averages. You might have been tricked by one or two of them here or there.

So I know it happens, but man, I have been sick to my stomach making a lot of videos, trying desperately to get it right. And that was a big thing of it, too, where I was like, I even thought I was like, do I change name on my page? Like, there's a lot of pressure. Yeah, it's a lot of pressure. I just went with it and I loved it. It was the coolest moment effing ever.

I can only imagine. I mean, I remember when people would get cute. I'd be one of those people like dropping a meme in the, you know, in their comments about, you know, congrats,

you got cute. And I had a million. I still haven't saved on my, on my phone, you know, just in case somebody got cute. It was like you got to, you got to congratulate them.

And I remember thinking like, like fantasizing. Like, wow, it must be amazing. to like an amazing feeling to to just be you know recognized for your efforts and yeah how that I don't think anything like that's ever happened before because we all knew that the cue movement this whole you know queue operation was extremely important maybe one of the most

important things in the history of this country and you know we were all very committed to it very into it. It dominated our lives at the time. So to have somebody from the Q teams look at your work and then publicly acknowledge you

is just, it's still mind-boggling to me. And I, yeah. It's just so cool to be recognized. And the post is great. Atriot Q. And it's the link to your video. You're right.

I was like, Q, called me a patriot. Well, it was emotional like you're saying, because it's like we've been working so hard and put so much time and effort that at this point this is, you know, a year and a half in, I had

stopped jamming with my band. You know, I was in a cloud at work and all I could think about was what do I dig on now? How can I help now? It's like basically just put every waking hour into that, to this day. It's like it's now or never.

I really feel that way. I know some people like to make fun of Q or like to diminish it. They just don't get it. And it's hard to explain it if you didn't live it. It's so much more than what it's presented as nowadays. This is very real, very less fringe than the media makes this sound to be. Even, you know, even like our friends who weren't really into it. I think they get the impression that it was more fringe than it was.

That was pretty straightforward. It was definitely Trump team. I think people make a mistake when they separate the team. If you're a Trump supporter, you're a Q supporter because they were his posts. It was just someone, it was presented as Q clearance patriot. And that was people in his administration waking us up and activating the public from a bunch of people who were like, hey, this president's cool. Let me eat some popcorn and make some cool memes to like, oh my God, the world is like way different than what I thought it was.

and someone's actually making an attempt to rip the United States away from the grasps of evil and return it to the people. Yeah, you put it so perfectly. And, you know, Donald Trump set the whole thing up early on in his 2016 campaign when he called the media fake news and said they were the enemy of the state, right? what that did is it it snapped some of us now i mean a lot of us already didn't trust the media but it it sort of gave us the impetus to just become the media and and become the news and learn how to just learn how to you know distinguish the truth from from the falsehoods we've been sold so um at the time it just seemed like this is a game changer this is this is this is this is kinetic now. Like there is somebody out there that recognizes that the world, that this country is going to hell in a handbasket, you know, and communism has seeped in like we've been screaming, you know, for years. You could see it happening, right? It was going to be infiltration, not invasion. And it was like, oh, my God, some patriots in a position of power recognize it. And here we go. And they need our help. And that's how I took it. And it. And it.

It just, you know, life is not the same anymore, you know, in a good way. Yeah, it took it very seriously and still take it very seriously. I still try to follow Trump's cues, no pun intended. But, you know, they're definitely, it's much bigger than, hey, this is a cool president. This is a huge operation. And that's a reason why things like the Epstein files are coming out now. Well, they were told us about him like, like right off the bat post-133 he's mentioned in November of 2017 and then they just go on a tear

and mention a whole bunch of that whole sick world that was a part of it that and marina bravovick and other actions other than epstein where we were just like wow the world is much different than we think in these elite circles and we tried to expose that and epstein was arrested under the trump administration galene was arrested under the trump administration these files that they're all like, oh my God, Trump was trying to hide them or he's still trying to hide them. It's like the guy made a searchable database of 3 million Epstein files. And again, after he arrested the guy, after he arrested his counterpart of Lane, and then all these other things just continuously coming out, like that's not by chance

that the guy who did the Q post that woke us up behind the scenes is now waking up the whole world. So it's really cool to be a part of. It's cool seeing it all come to fruition. And 2026 has been epic beyond words already. So I just love in every moment of it, man. Yeah, me too. And, you know, I remember reading about Epstein for the first time and you're going, well, those, who the hell is this?

You know, he was not a household name. People forget. Like, he had been arrested for soliciting prostitute in like 2008, right? You just go, okay, big deal. You know, that would not be a blip on anybody. his radar. You would have to, the only way you would have heard of this guy is if you were one of the elites that were running in his circles.

But other than that, the general public had no awareness whatsoever of Epstein. But I remember, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a Q post where it says we didn't, we didn't like basically expose all this Epstein stuff for no reason. Sure is. Yep. That's one of the later ones. And I always think of that when I have like some of my normie conservative friends, you know, that are like all this all this Epstein stuff it's there's there's nothing it's a nothing burger you know

and I'm going it's not a nothing burger now maybe phase one here of this rollout might seem like a nothing burger but there's a plan here and I think we all thought like a year ago when Trump you know said it's a hoax and all this I we knew he was just baiting the left into like wanting to you know to ask for the release and now there's no turning back and they voted for it's a law now they have to release this stuff. And the only one it's biting in the butt is, is Democrats and their donors and, you know, the elites.

Not Donald Trump. He's, like he said, exonerated very much so in these files. So it's, to me, it's important. It's very important. And we may not even be the tip of the iceberg yet of how important it is. And that's my feeling on it. And I think people just want things to happen right now. And if it doesn't make sense to them at that very moment,

it doesn't matter. You know, I'm thinking, just let it, let it play out. And now a year later, you could see, you know, the game. And he played. He just, he threw the chum out there and they bit. And here we are. Yeah. You got a, and I think people, they just, they just want to save their blood loss.

They don't care what's being, thing. They just, they just want to see someone arrested. That's good. It's like, dude, there have been arrests. What are you talking about? There's, I should make a. when they imposed it. But every time there's an arrest, they arrested Epstein. They arrested

Galane. They arrested the leader of a freaking country. They've arrested so many people. And that's on top of, there's been thousands, thousands of peto and child trafficking arrests over the course of Trump's first administration and now continuing to this. So there's a lot of people you don't know arrests. It's not going to people just, they only want Obama, but it's like, you have to prove that in a court of law.

Even some of these drops, say it's enough to expose the world, then people can see these things and the Bill Gates of the world, but is it enough to actually bring an indictment from a grand jury? Are you going to go to a grand jury? We think this post means this. It's like, well, yeah, it probably does mean that without any tangible evidence. Exactly. I was just having this conversation.

Yeah, with a friend of mine this past weekend. And she was saying, like, you know, in her mind, she's like, the exposure is really, in a lot of ways, more damaging to them than it is than throwing somebody in jail. She's like, you know, the humiliation and the just people, the whole concept of these people will not be able to walk down the street. We're seeing that. There's heads of states resigning. There's, there's important people in cabinets of, like, start. armor and, you know, they're resigning. There's CEOs of companies resigning. And member Q also said, pay attention to the resignations. You know, this is a big, a big thing. This is

creating a fallout that I think we're just beginning to see. It's just like the snowball just starting to roll down the hill. And by the time it, you know, gains a little more steam, it's going to be an avalanche. And it's going to, it's going to get a lot of very important people caught up at it. Whether they end up seeing jail time or not, their lives are ruined. You know, they're not going to be able to show their faces. And that's in some ways, I think, a lot, a lot worse for that. Yeah, and that's the whole goal is to ruin that whole power structure. So you ruin the lives of your biggest players in that and the biggest faces is kind of messes up their operations on the lower level. You're already messing up their operations because you've got mass deportations of

a lot of the people being deported or gang members. And these people are being used for shady dealings. And then you're, you also have arrested a lot of these, a lot of the freaking Pito networks are being, have been arrested since the first administration. And they're just continually chop away at them. So everything's being taken care of from all sides. And then while that's happening, there's a lot of legislature and a lot of different things that are being done in Washington through the Trump administration that are straight up financial and just good for the world and on things, you know, we're really close to voter ID now. Well, actually, maybe when this airs, we'll be. It's probably a couple of weeks. We shall see. These are all steps in the right

direction. And I know people, we live in a microwave society where people want things done in, you know, like that when they snap their fingers. So we're taking positive steps in the right direction. And I'm very positive and encouraged by all of it. And these, you know, these elites and the pito rings and everything they will see justice whether it's in jail or whether it's in front of god or whether it's just in front of the public eye where they're going to not be able to walk down the streets and either way i'm going to segue here grad they'll be crying 96 tears and uh so let's go back to the kennedy years 1962 listen to a song by question mark and the mysterians cushion mark in 96 tears

I was just reapplying my lip balm, my soft disclosure lip balm, good, good stuff, man. Sweet, dude. Yeah, no more dry, cracked lips. I remember chapstick. Used to have a commercial when I was a kid where they took like two leaves and they put chapstick on one of them and then these time lapse photography and it supposedly kept

it like nice and soft and then the other leaf like dried up and crunched up and everything. And I remember we tried that as kids and it like was the opposite. Like the one that had the chapstick on it like, dry it up immediately. I've been addicted to chapstick ever since, but it was never good. Like, you just, it made your, the more you put it on, the more dry your lips would get. You'd have to keep putting it on constantly. So, yeah, the soft disclosure is like excellent, excellent stuff. So if you haven't tried to yet, Brad, if you tried to yet? Chapsic, I have not tried the chapsic, no. Yeah, yeah, it's good stuff.

That's cool to know. Yeah, and especially my lips get dry out in the winter. So that's, I would imagine out in Alaska, out in the wild, wild, uh, frontier up there. So, you're soft disclosure. Hey, by the way, question mark of the Mysterians, that was from 1966,

not 1962. But the next song we're going to play is from 1962. And that's in keeping with RQ theme. We are going to play a little soul boss of Nova by one of the greatest producers of all time and also a great musician in his own right.

And that's Quincy Jones, who wrote this song that most people recognize from a particular movie, but we're going to play the original version of it first, and then maybe a little bit of the movie too. But yeah, this is Soul Bosanova from 1962. Quincy Jones was 30 years old at the time. And this said sort of like a jazz studio musician, and this had like a big band meets Brazilian Bosanova rhythms, you know,

feel to it. It's like one of my favorite songs of all time. And then it came out in the movie that we'll show a little clip of in a little bit. And I was like, ah, okay. It's very cool. It still stands the test of time. So, Boston Nova, Quincy Jones. Obviously, you don't need to explain what that's from.

Yeah, exactly. It's kind of funny, though, watching that video. I'm going to guess Michael Myers saw that because there's a guy right at the end of that video that looks just like his Austin Powers character. same glasses, same hair and everything. I was trying to look it up. I had the same idea. I was like, oh, okay, this is not just, they didn't just use this song. It's literally, they're dancing and doing everything like it.

And it says there's a scene from a movie they use, I don't know. I'm trying to find, I can't find the exact movie. It says there's a. Oh, that that video was from that we just watched. Yeah, what's that video from? Because it's like, I don't know. maybe Bob Fossey's Sweet Charity possibly this I'm

pinging the I'm pinging the search engines all right we don't know maybe we should watch a little of the the Austin Powers intro while you're looking at that yeah let's see what I can find yeah okay okay I think I've got to love oh be hey okay I think I've tracked it down

to sweet charity the aloof the heavyweight and the big finish. Okay. And I guess was released in 1969. There we go. Oh, there you go. There it is. Nice work. The overlays.

You can tell definitely the overlays. This otherwise is pretty high quality. Your digging skills that were honed by Q are still quite strong, my friend. Yes. See? It all comes full circle.

Quitsy Jones is amazing, too. I mean, for those of you don't know, he's like, he's a major producer. He produced, you know, all the Michael Jackson records, like, off the wall, thriller, bad. He produced for Frank Sinatra. He produced for George Benson, Chaka Khan. He did the USA for Africa thing. And, I mean, these guys just a legend. So, and one other song that I didn't know was Quincy Jones, but it was a big part of my childhood.

let's just let's just roll it this is brilliant quincy jones brilliance here that is great yeah i did not know that was quincy jones but sure it makes perfect sense but uh yeah and rip to uh damon wilson he just died about a month ago so um i think he was the last cast member alive um 79 years old played lamont right uh fred sanford son lamont so and well they're uh they're partying in heaven right now him and red fox yep so

oh fun episode Brad I'm I'm really glad we did this and I think we're going to do a part two as well yeah we got some cool ones lined up for part two so definitely you guys aren't going to miss that but we got a cool one on the way out

and that would be this is of the original Q drops this is the last drop 4953 and it's a little song called We're not going to take it which has kind of been

kind of become like a quasi Q anthem although I'm sure D. Schneider would hate that he's definitely anti-Maga and shit but yeah I don't know what's wrong with the guy but yeah I know I remember when he was testifying

you know when they were putting the PMRC labels on the on the records and he was all about freedom of speech and it's just like dude how do you not see the hypocrisy that's everything you stood for is what we're talking about and you're totally on the other side just because yeah it's terminal TDS TDS he just canceled their tour I think because this is officially done they were going to do a tour at the zero hour it's understandable he was basically like i'm too old i can't do this anywhere it basically says i'm in pain every day there's something like that he put out of press release and then the other bands uh members of the band put out of like well due to the sudden unexpected

drop half d schneider i guess that's that so they might have just formally wrapped i guess these babies too well he doesn't he doesn't have his adrenochrome he's gotten old yeah not accusing of anything, just saying, and you're on that side. I don't know, you know, I'm going to have to look at you a little side eye. You know who I really don't know who does it is drummers. Man, how do you do that when you're young, let alone when you're sick. I know. It's like, how are they not all dropping down to heart attacks, the ones that are older, you know, but.

Maybe they're just in such good shape because of it. Who knows? Well, that's true. Well, I remember when, you know, Tommy Alders, I mentioned, you know, the drummer for Ozzy and Weight Snake, he lived across street from my mom and dad's house in Palm Desert. And that dude

had like a $15,000 bicycle, you know, and he'd go cycling and go 100 miles, you know. I mean, that's the kind of training he did. Just be in the kind of shape to be able to, you know, go on tour and drum, you know, two hours a night. So

yeah, dude was like, he was just ripped, you know, just fantastic shape. And he was, he was no spring chicken. at that point you know he's been around since late 60s early 70s so um even in the early 90s which was around the time that that would have been um yeah you know it's pretty impressive these guys stay in that shape and then there's other people that probably should follow de sniders lead like vince neal and maybe hang them up david lee rob say it love vince neal love davidly roth and

voice ain't there anymore yeah unfortunately unfortunately unfortunately but it's true. Well, on that note, now that I've disparaged, too, my heroes. But you're my hero, Brandon, and I have not disparaged you. You're my hero, Jay. You know what?

We're not going to take it anymore. We'll see you guys next week. Thanks for all your support. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next week.
