this is
cognitive dissonance
every episode
we blast anyone
who gets in our way
we bring critical thinking
skepticism
and irreverence
to any topic
that makes the news
makes it big or makes us mad.
It's skeptical, it's political, and there is no welcome mat.
This is episode 562 of Cognitive Dissonance, and this is the, you know, maybe you shouldn't have shorted GameStop episode.
You know, maybe
a little oopsie
daisy on that.
GameStop, by the way, totally
worth $300 plus a share.
That is a sustainable
position to hold
at no point.
When they go up to
the guy, they go up to the hedge fund manager
and the hedge fund manager looks at me and says,
well, you know, I know it's $350.
You bought it for $350,
but the best I could do is like
this old Mike Tyson CD.
Trade it in.
Try to trade your GameStop stock in.
And the best they could do is like,
I don't know, if you bundle three or four of them together, Try to trade your GameStop stock in. And the best they could do is like,
I don't know,
if you bundle three or four of them together,
I might be able to take $10 off this new console.
I'm reminded,
there was an old Simpsons episode that was like joking about the collapse
of the tech stock with the tech boom,
when the tech bubble burst.
And as it was happening,
they're trying to pay Lisa and Barton, whatever.
They're trying to pay them in stocks.
I'll just grab a roll of stock off the wall.
Take it off the wall like toilet paper.
Exactly, man.
Because that's what it's fucking worth.
Exactly, man.
It was an interesting week for GameStop.
We're not going to get too far into it, but it's an interesting week for GameStop. It looks like there was some Reddit related activism, which burned some hedge fund managers. Yeah. Which is great.
You know, anytime billionaires lose billions, I sort of giggle. I'm not going to lie. There's a
part of me that giggles. I giggled the fuck out of some giggle. So they're still winning though.
I do want to point out the billionaires are still winning.
Yeah, the billionaires.
Super winning right now.
The billionaires are wiping
their tears with yachts
right now.
Yeah, right.
It is funny.
Not funny because it's not,
but I do laugh
when it's like,
ah, it cost that guy a million.
If you cost me a million dollars,
I'm bankrupt
and I owe you
about a million dollars.
I owe you $9 a million dollars. I'm bankrupt and I owe you about a million dollars.
I owe you $990,000.
I'm in a lot of trouble, right?
So if you,
if it's like I,
if Tom gets a million dollar bill,
Tom is short most of that bill.
These guys are like,
oh man,
I lost a hundred million dollars.
Now I only have like 900 million other dollars. These guys turn their sofas over and find more money than that.
Are you kidding me?
There's more in their Bugatti, you know, in your car,
how you have a little thing where you press down and put dimes in or whatever.
They just have
briefcases. There's a briefcase dispenser
that just shits out million dollar
bills to pay. It's just full of bitcoins
instead of dimes.
Oh man. Never underestimate
the staggering wealth inequality
guys. We didn't hurt them. I just want to point out
you didn't hurt anybody. It's cute. It just want to point out, you didn't hurt anybody.
It's cute.
You didn't hurt anybody.
It's cute.
It's adorable.
It is.
But this is akin to giving Mike Tyson a black eye.
One, he's fucking used to it.
Two, he still is going to kick your ass.
Like, that's... Yeah.
You are stupid.
You are stupid.
You are stupid.
You are stupid.
You are stupid. You are stupid. And don't forget, you are stupid. You are stupid. You are stupid. You are stupid.
You are stupid.
And don't forget, you are stupid.
So Cecil, the big story in the political world is Marjorie Taylor Greene, who I do want to point the fuck out.
We covered Marjorie Taylor Greene.
You did.
Fucking like before she was elected.
Yeah.
And we covered her because she was
saying crazy shit and she was supporting crazy shit back when she was just conspiracy theory
barbie right yeah now now she's what's the guy with a good name we could maybe call her a q p doll
q oh uh right that's good that's good oh That's good. Q, that's good. Oh, I like that.
I like that.
That's good.
But Marjorie Taylor is amazingly stupid.
I mean, she's just such a dumb person.
This is somebody who is a duly elected member of Congress now.
I just want to point out that if you think that this ended or that this was like a cute, okay, well, you know, Trump's gone and how much damage.
If there's any part of you that does not look at the world that we have created and fucking shudder, consider the next few stories we're going to talk about.
Because this woman that we're talking about isn't one of those like crazy prophecy preachers that Cecil and
I cover because it's cute and we laugh about it and they don't really have any effect on the world.
This is in your, this fucker's in your Congress. This lady brought impeachment or tried to bring
impeachment charges against Biden this week. I mean, she's an insane, she's an insane person.
She's the idiot who walked up the night of, rejected the election results with a thing on her face, a mask on her face that said censored or something like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, she's a fool.
Let's go through these piece by piece.
So this story comes from CNN.
You can find it also literally anywhere.
Just anywhere, as you can with most of these stories.
From CNN, Marjorie Taylor Greene indicated support for executing, executing prominent
Democrats in 2018 and 2019.
I said those dates specifically because there was a story that I did not grab because I didn't like it,
because it didn't seem relevant. But now I'm going to talk about it. There was a story,
and I think it was Hawley, maybe. I don't even remember because I didn't-
Josh Hawley, maybe.
Josh Hawley, who when he was like 15, he wrote an essay in support of the Oklahoma City bombings, in support of those bombers.
Okay. And Cecil, I didn't put that in the show notes because he was 15. Yeah. And you know,
when I was 15, I intentionally took stupid, ill-advised, poorly considered positions on
any number of topics when I was writing dumb ass essays for school because, you know, it's
contrarian and it's like, whoa, dude, kind of stupid shit. Right. I wrote, I wrote, I wrote a
story one time we, we had the tests that they were giving us from the state, right? They were giving
us tests from the state. We had to do this. You had to stop doing everything for the whole day
and you had to do your tests. Well, we're doing tests for the state. And the guy passed
us a mile. We had to write a nonfiction essay. And I wrote an essay about how I blew up Chernobyl.
He was so mad at me. He was so furious because he had to grade him and send him in. He was like,
you totally, because it wasn't a graded thing. He said it beforehand. And I said,
I don't give a shit if it's not graded.
I'm going to write whatever I want.
And he said,
you were supposed to write a nonfiction essay.
I said, prove it's not nonfiction.
Prove to me it's not nonfiction.
I was like,
you can't prove it's not nonfiction.
But I was an asshole when I was a kid.
And this was four grades.
When I was in high school,
for all of high school,
all four years of high school,
I was very competitive with my closest friend. And one of the things we would do is we would give each other, we'd be like,
oh, you got this English essay you got to write or this whatever essay you got to write.
All right, you have to write your English essay about catcher in the rye, but you have to include
scratch and sniff sticker and granola bars. Those two phrases have to appear somewhere in your essay.
And we would have this contest where we'd give each other,
like fucking chopped, like the cooking show Chopped.
Sure.
Here's a horrible ingredient.
Make something good out of it.
And then we would compare our essay scores
because we'd basically be handicapping the other guy
with something stupid he'd have to put in his essay.
Sure, sure.
Why?
Because we're fucking
whatever age and you're just an asshole you're just a stick yeah so i didn't include it right
i get it i get it i i also feel the same way when you talk about a 15 year old right i don't feel
like you're fully cooked yet i feel like sometimes they do 15 people people that age do shit that
they you know i know i did some stupid shit at that age and I know other people do stupid shit at that age. I get it. Now, don't get me wrong. The guy grew up to
be an asshole. Like, I mean, don't get me wrong. Yeah. He didn't grow out of it, but I just like,
I just don't feel like it's appropriate to indict somebody on the actions from their
early to mid teens for guys. It's just a bad. So I wouldn't do it. And the reason I bring that up
is to say the shit from Marjorie Taylor Greene,
where she's supporting executing Democrats,
that's from 2018 and 2019, guys.
It's not old news.
That's a year or two years ago.
Yeah, that's a year or two years.
This is not like, oh, well, but you know,
I've had so much time.
This was basically like an hour ago.
Sure.
In a grownup's life?
Yeah.
2019?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Yeah.
So in one post from January 2019,
Greene liked a comment that said, quote, a bullet to the head would be quicker to remove House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In other posts, Greene liked comments about executing FBI agents who in her
eyes were part of the deep state working against Trump. Green wrote in 2018
about the Iran deal saying, now do we get to hang them? Meaning H and O referring to Hillary and
Obama. Talking about fucking hanging people. Later, she said, the stage is set. Players are
being put into place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges will let them off.
This is a violently minded conspiracy thinker.
Violently minded. This is somebody who supports the murder
of not just politicians,
but of our security forces, the FBI.
Who's, what the fuck?
We cannot, this person got fucking elected.
This is the 14th District
Congressional Representative in Georgia.
They are there right now.
They're not getting fired.
They're not getting kicked the fuck out.
They might get removed
from some committee assignments.
Yeah.
That's it.
That's it.
This person supports murder
of political opponents because she believes
presumably in her heart of hearts
that like that would
be a morally justifiable thing
to do. Yeah, we should kill the FBI agents. We just
fucking kill those guys. Her defense
is that other people were
in control of her
social media. And
I will say this, you know, there are other people in control of her social media. And I will say this,
there are other people in control
of our social media sometimes.
I mean, most of the time, in fact,
other people are in control of our social media.
So for this show.
But I'm not in fucking Congress, right?
I'm not running for Congress.
So yeah, there may be a tweet out there
of some kind of
pornographic or whatever kind of something that was posted or even liked by us, right? Where
somebody said something horrible or did something. There's a great possibility, but here's the
chances of me getting in Congress. Zero fucking chances. I don't have a chance to get in Congress.
I'm not going to Congress. I'm never going to be a representative.
I'm not going to be a state representative.
I'm not going to be a dog catcher.
I'm not going to be a meter maid, man.
Never, ever, ever because of this show.
So don't get the fuck out of here with that shit.
If that's the case and you're saying that,
that's your problem.
It's on you.
Because guess what?
Guess what?
Every other person in the world would get fired for that.
Every single person.
If I go to work and somebody looks on my, you know, and I have a show page for this
and I go to work and somebody finds it and sees that I like something that they don't
agree with and the values at my work, I get fired for that.
Everybody gets fired for that except for people who get voted in office.
Yeah.
Also, I think that's total bullshit, right?
Here's another couple of key differences, Cecil.
So I think that's total bullshit, right?
Here's another couple of key differences, Cecil.
One, if you and I found out somebody liked or made a,
if we found out about that, we'd fire that fucking person.
And then later, if we were called out on the carpet,
we could say, yeah, that was fucking Joe what the fuck.
And it happened in May and I fired that fucking guy.
And here's evidence that I fired that fucking guy, right?
Because- Ian, listening.
Wait, because if somebody does something awful and they're supposed to represent you and it's
fucking awful, you fire them. Yeah. Also, this is a show page, right? It's not Tom's page. It's not
Cecil's page. This wasn't a page for people who support Marjorie retailer green. This wasn't a Facebook page called, um, candidate
hoping this was a personally represented page, right? It was not a page that appeared to be
anything other than personally represented. So I don't fucking buy it. I don't fucking buy it.
I don't buy it either. And even if it were true, her responsibility then would be to say, yeah,
you know what? Other people were managing my page.
I found out about that and I fucking fired him and here's who it was.
And it was Joe McRacist.
And I fired that fucking guy.
And here's evidence.
I did it.
Boom.
I'd forgive that shit in a second.
I'd be like,
yeah,
sometimes we all make bad hires.
What are you going to do?
There's nothing you can do about that.
I get it.
But,
but this woman,
she is fucking crazy sauce from the very beginning,
man.
She's a nutty lady.
And she's also, Tom, the one thing that makes me nuts about this lady is she's a fucking representative in government.
She's in Congress right now.
And she is genuinely one of the stupidest people I've ever heard speak.
And she's fucking, she's not just stupid.
She's like confidently stupid.
She's one of those people that are like.
That's the worst, man.
Right?
It's the worst.
We're going to cover a couple of stories in a minute
where she's so confident she's right about something
and she's a hundred percent wrong about it.
Yeah, I know.
She is literally walking, breathing, Dunning-Kruger.
That's what she, I mean, she is.
She's a, she is. She thinks she's the smartest person in the room
while simultaneously being the dumbest person in the room.
Absolutely.
The other thing is like,
she says like this is somebody else that was managing her.
It's not inconsistent with your current beliefs.
Right, exactly.
Like, why would you say that?
That's like somebody from the KKK being like,
hey man, you like that N word.
Yeah, I do.
I say it all the time.
Right.
Yeah.
I would, if you have a history
of entirely contradictory behavior
and then all of a sudden there's like
this weird post out of nowhere
and this flurry of likes on a Tuesday
and then you said,
man, somebody got a hold of my page,
I would be more prone.
I'd be like, yeah, all right.
You know, if all of a sudden Cecil's page, just all these fucking like rebel flags show
up next Tuesday, I would not call Cecil and say, holy shit, dude, are you now a fucking
Confederate racist?
Exactly.
I would call Cecil and say, holy shit, dude, someone done hijacked your page, bro.
Exactly.
And the same thing goes for, you know, when Ted Cruz liked incest porn,
everybody knew it was Ted Cruz.
Nobody thought it was Ted Cruz.
There was nobody out there who didn't think,
there was nobody out there
when he threw the staffer story out there.
There was nobody out there
who thought there was a staffer.
Everybody knew he threw a staffer at the bus.
Everyone knew it.
So here's another story.
This one's from Huffington Post.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
theorized
space
laser beam
you gotta read this
sparked California wildfire
you gotta read part of this
you gotta read part of this Tom
if not part of it
all of it
another unearthed post
from representative
not fired
Marjorie
remember
we fired a lot of other people
yeah
not Marjorie Taylor Greene
post from representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's Facebook page shows that her taste for conspiracy theories knows no bounds.
In a post that the Watchdog group Media Matter uncovered Thursday, the Georgia representative posited that solar energy collected in space and beamed back to Earth is what sparked California's worst wildfire.
So, like, picture a new sound. is what sparked California's worst wildfire. So like-
Did it make a pew-pew sound?
I didn't notice the enormous magnifying glass
that the space ants were holding over Earth
at that moment.
Oh my God.
You're genuinely the stupidest person on Earth.
You are the dumbest human being.
Fuck, man.
I'm going to read something from the actual post, okay?
So it says,
As there are now over 70 people confirmed dead and over 1,000 missing,
the fires in California are a horrific tragedy.
I'm praying for all involved.
This is a long fucking post.
I'm not going to read the whole thing.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm posting this in speculation because there are too many
coincidences to ignore. And I read that
and I thought, you shouldn't post
speculative shit like this
based on coinkydinks.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Right. Okay. And just
putting it out there, we
need to stop just putting shit out there.
Like if you're just putting stuff
out there is the same as
just saying when you insult somebody, right?
Like you're a fat piece of shit.
Just saying it is what it is.
Just put it out there.
Just saying, look, you're allowed to insult somebody
if you put a winky face after it.
That's how it works.
Just put it out there from some research.
I've done,
stemming from my curiosity over PG&E stocks.
Procter Gamble, right?
What?
Which tanked all week, then rallied Thursday night after California officials announced they would not let PG&E fail.
I find it very interesting that Roger Kimmel on the board of directors of PG&E-
Okay, what?
No, no.
Here, I got to keep going because this is amazing.
Is also vice chairman of Rothschild
international investment banking firm.
Guys, we started with wildfires.
I want to say-
You voted for this.
Georgia.
Wildfires.
Georgia.
Georgia.
What the fuck, Georgia?
You voted for this, man man This reads like David Icke
Don't get me wrong
There was nobody running against her
She was unopposed
But still
Why was she unopposed?
Somebody voted for her
You couldn't find anybody
You looked at this woman
You're like
Well gosh
Nobody else around this district
Got the
Got the chops to beat that
You could put a donkey in a sombrero and she beats this
like, are you kidding me? Get the fuck out of here. And I also find it interesting the long
history of financial contributions that PG&E has made to Jerry Brown over the years and millions
spent lobbying. What a coincidence. It must be that Governor Brown signed a bill in September
of 2008 protecting. So this is again.
We started with wildfires, guys.
I'm going to skim because holy shit.
This reads like David Icke.
She's skipping a stone.
She's genuinely skipping a stone over all these other weird disparate points to try
to make one point.
Yeah.
And what are the odds that Feinstein's husband, Richard Bloom, is the contractor to the rail project?
Geez, with that much money, we could build three U.S. southern border walls.
Then, oddly, there are all these people who have said they saw what looked like lasers.
Lasers or blue beams of white causing the fires and pictures and videos.
When she said laser, Tom, did she do the scare quotes like Dr. Evil?
Laser.
Laser.
Did she do that?
The space lasers
were attached to space sharks, guys.
They were attached to...
They came from the sky
in space tornadoes.
They were genetically engineered
at Procter & Gamble
by the fucking Rothschilds to shoot frigging laser beams.
Frigging laser beams.
That's so stupid.
This person is in Congress.
You're such a stupid lady.
You're a stupid lady.
You're a genuinely stupid person.
I just want to say right now, there are people unemployed, and this woman is in Congress.
This woman shouldn't work anywhere.
She should work.
No, and that's a great question.
Tell me what you think this woman could possibly be qualified for.
You know, that's funny because the first thing, the only thing that I thought of when you asked that question was,
she could be one of those people that gets hired to sit in the passenger seat so you can go through the carpool lane,
but only if she would agree
to shut the fuck up the whole time.
You know, when I look at her neck,
I think she might be able to own a CrossFit box.
I think that might be a good...
Drop the gun!
I know you're too stupid to get this,
but you're really fucking this up right now.
You fucking moron.
You're a fucking moron.
You fucking idiot.
You're a serious fucking idiot.
Dumb as a bag of sand. What an idiot. You're the dumbest thing i've ever laid eyes on what an idiot sister it comes from vice uh marjorie taylor green believes in frazzle drip is that
I know what this is
this is when you go to the doctor
because your dick is a little leaky
after fucking a fraggle
I got the frazzle drip
you got a shot for the frazzle drip
it's like,
it's when you think you're finished shaking off,
but you're like stressed and in a hurry
and you put it back and you're like,
oh man, I got, I was all frazzled.
It's a frazzle drip.
I got frazzle drip now.
I have a fucking frazzle drip.
I got frazzle drip.
God, I got to untuck my shirt now.
It's a whole thing.
Marjorie Taylor Greene believes in frazzle drip,
QAnon's wildest conspiracy theory.
So, frazzle drip, Cecil.
Let me read to you what fucking frazzle drip is.
Down on frazzle drip.
This is the theory.
A video that was found on the laptop of Anthony Weiner, the former Democratic congressman.
This is so good.
This is so good. This is so good.
Who was caught, he was sent to jail in 17
for sexting with a minor.
So there's a video on his laptop
that began circulating on the dark web.
The video was found in a folder
on the laptop's hard drive called Life Insurance
and was named Frazzle Drip.
This is also
none of this happened.
Let me just say
if you're naming porn files,
don't name it a weird name.
Call it
something so
boring. Budget reconciliation
documents. Accounting documents.
Call it something boring.
Don't call it something weird. Don't call it something boring. Don't call it something weird.
Don't call it something cute.
Don't call it something cute kooky.
Don't do that.
This thing I don't want anyone to be curious about,
I'll leave it a mysterious name.
What is with your fascination
with my secret closet of forbidden
mystery? In fact,
name every single thing
that is a porn file,
a number
and two girls,
one cup.
That way,
nobody ever opens it.
No one would ever open it.
Right.
And you could just have
two girls,
one cup,
two,
two girls,
one cup,
three,
two girls,
one cup,
four.
Name all your regular files
shit like that.
Just like all your regular files
on your computer
should be like
lemon party,
two girls, one cup. Someone comes up, opens up your computer, be like Lemon Party, Two Girls, One Cup.
Someone comes and opens up your computer,
they're like, hold on a second.
You have a Word document called Two Girls, One Cup?
What could possibly be in a Word document?
Fuck you, it's a fan fiction.
Whatever.
It's A-S-C-I-I-R.
Get the fuck out of here.
Anyway, back to Frazzle Trip time.
Back to this fucking highbrow fucking news show that talks about
frazzled go ahead no the floor is yours tom
this is for real the bogus report says the video which to be clear does not exist on the dark web
or anywhere else doesn't exist right it's all bullshit. Made up. Shows Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin, Weiner's former wife.
I may have mispronounced that.
Yeah.
A longtime Clinton aide raping and mutilating a young girl.
Specifically, the video is supposed to show Clinton filleting the young girl's face and
then taking turns with Abedin to wear the girl's face as a mask in order to purposely
terrify the child.
This is the part that made me laugh out loud.
You don't have to wear it.
If you fillet my face, I'm already scared.
I've reached the maximum level of fear.
I don't care.
You can take my face and turn it into a fucking kite and fly it outside my window.
I'm not more afraid.
I just think you're fucking weird too.
I look out every time
they talk about when I read this,
I think of Dwight Schrute
cutting the face off of the doll,
the CPR dummy
that he cuts the face off of
and he's wearing it around the office
like it's fucking hilarious.
Like that's what I think.
You know who this lady is?
This Marjorie Taylor Greene
is fucking representative Liz Crokin
because Liz Crokin believes this too.
Also has a thick neck.
It does have a weird...
In order to purposely terrify the child
so that her blood would be flooded
with adrenochrome.
Oh yeah.
Again,
there would be plenty of adrenochrome.
Yeah, no, you're good. It's plenty to go around.
It's literally shooting out her face
at that point.
Where her face used to be, I guess, yeah.
And taking her face.
And then, the thing is, like, if it's
honorable, you have to make sure to save face.
So, you don't want to get rid of it.
They fold
up the face and put it in their wallet.
Sorry, I saved that.
I saved that face.
And, you know,
the irony is in the background
of this video,
Face Off was playing.
Yeah.
Just like in the background,
just as a little homage,
a little also,
weirdly,
Nick Cage was in the room.
It's so stupid.
It's such a stupid,
stupid, stupid thing.
Yeah.
So the conspiracy theory also includes the rumor that multiple officers from the New York Police Department who saw the video have been killed by Clinton, who then covered up the murders by making those look like suicides.
Okay.
That's frazzledrip.
Right.
That's frazzledrip.
One question, though.
Did she cut their faces off and make it look like
they cut their own faces off as a suicide?
Because that's
really good if she did that, yeah.
She fucking believes this shit.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
endorsed a conspiracy theory.
She says, here's the thing.
There's somebody
in this post that says
this is the mother of a new NYPD officer who watched a horrific
video, sees on Anthony Weiner's laptop of Huma and Hillary flanging child's face.
This was another Hillary hit.
Then Marjorie says, yes, familia.
I post things sometimes to see who knows things.
Most of the time people don't.
I'm glad to see your comment.
I've decided it's time to start doing a lot more videos and engage further in the fight.
Most people don't honestly know so much.
The mainstream media disinformation warfare
has won for too long.
This is your craziest friend or uncle or aunt or-
No, no, no.
It's even worse than that, Tom.
It's the crazy person your crazy aunt thinks is crazy.
That's true. That's what she is. She's not just a crazy person you know. thinks is crazy. That's true.
That's what she is.
She's not just a crazy person you know.
I literally don't know anybody like this.
No, no, no.
I don't know anybody like this either.
I'm not sure.
I'm six degrees of separation
to somebody this fucking crazy,
to be perfectly frank with you.
I mean, she is that fucking nuts.
And she's in Congress, man.
In Congress right now.
Yep.
Yep.
She's in Congress.
You know what? I'm just curious. And I know you've said it before In Congress right now. Yep. Yep. She's in Congress.
You know what? I'm just curious.
And I know, I know you said it before.
I know you said it before.
There's got to be some kind of test, man.
There's got to be some kind of test.
There's got to be something.
Because I guarantee you, you sit this woman down and you give her a basic fucking high school fucking civics test and she'd fail it.
Yep.
school fucking civics test and she'd fail it. Yep. I am becoming more and more convinced that there must be a test for information literacy that simply has got to be, you know, do you remember in
high school having to take a civics test? You had to pass a basic civics test. Yeah. There needs to
be an information literacy test and it needs to be mandated and everybody needs to pass it.
And like, we should have that
as like a condition of employment.
If you're just, if you're hiring somebody for anything,
I don't care what,
because we need to create incentives,
carrots for people to learn
how to become information literate
because we are losing this battle.
We are losing the battle against
disinformation. Every single day, this is getting worse. It's accelerating out of fucking control.
And I don't know what we got to do to stop it, but I know that there needs to be real measures
in place that create incentives for people to become literate. And it can't be just the next
generation because the generation that's currently online right now,
they don't have these skills.
We know they don't have these skills
because they've demonstrated.
The 2016 to 2020 is proof in the pudding
that the current people walking around in the world
do not have the skills to manage the information
that they're getting.
We've got to create a social system of incentives
so that people become information literate or we are fucked. We've got to create a social system of incentives so that people become
information literate or we are fucked. We are absolutely fucked, man. And I want to say too,
you know, there's a lot of people who talk about representation, right? When we talk about,
you know, seeing a black actor in a movie and we say that representation is important.
We hear that all the time. And it is. It's very
important, right? You see a black superhero, a woman superhero, those types of things are very
important. Understand this. There's also a negative to representation. And the fact is,
is that all those dumb people who follow Q, all those dumb people who think that the world is
run by conspiracy theory, they have representation,
right? They see that somebody who thinks the same things they do can make it really far in the world.
They can be a congressperson. We shouldn't let this happen. That's the bad side of representation,
right? When somebody's so dumb, that's why Trump was such a horror because he showed all the dumb
people in the world that there are no limits for you.
There should be limits for you, man.
Yeah, your star should not rise.
Your star should chunk up against a concrete ceiling and flounder and flap like a fucking deflating balloon until it putters back down to the ground.
There should never be someone as stupid as Trump in office again.
It should never happen.
be someone as stupid as Trump in office again. It should never happen. He's proved time and time again how inept he was, how lazy he was, how he literally, he would get furious when people would
fucking talk about stuff he didn't want to hear. He was a fucking idiot. He was genuinely a stupid
person and he fucked this nation up. Look at where we're fucking digging out fucking COVID bodies.
We could stack them up so fucking high. There's more than a World War II loss of COVID deaths
in this country right now.
Don't tell me that none of that
shit matters. It absolutely matters.
It mattered at the worst possible time.
We had the stupidest person in the world at the
worst possible time in charge. And this
is the exact same thing. The stupidest
person in the world right now is standing
on the fucking floor of the house
that has just as many rights as all the rest of those house members.
Yeah, this motherfucker is taking $174,000 of your taxpayer dollars, by the way, every year.
That's her salary.
It's a salary for an incoming freshman congressperson, $174,000 a year.
Just because she's stupid doesn't mean she gets paid less.
Yeah.
She's getting paid.
Think about all the fucking unemployed people
Right now
This person's making $174,000 a year
And she is this fucking
Absolutely abjectly stupid
We can't let this continue
We seriously have to do tangible

you stupid donkey
honey why are you being so mean to me because you're too thick to even fall under my spell
and you got no class so this is another Marjorie Taylor Greene story.
This is not just misinformed.
It's also racist.
Yeah.
Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to force Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to retake their oaths on a Bible in a resurfaced video.
So this fucking numbnuts was wandering about basically saying like, well, they, they swore on a Quran and you
can't swear on a Quran. You have to swear on a Bible and we're going to make them swear on a
Bible because otherwise they don't, they're not, they're not really genuinely sworn in.
Their oaths don't matter. Again, what I said earlier, confidently stupid, very, very confidently
walking around as if she knows what she's talking about literally and and the thing
is is like i don't know how stupid she is does she just think that she says something and that
it's the law now i don't i how fucking dumb do you have to be to walk around and think that
yeah there's never been a law that requires them to take the oath of office with a book
yeah of any you don't have to have a book.
Yeah.
The constitution states no religious test shall ever be required as
qualification of any office or public trust under the United States.
That's what it says.
That's a quote from the constitution.
All she wanted to do was shame them for being different.
That's all she wanted to do.
She wanted to publicly shame them for being different.
That's all she wanted to do.
The implication
is also that they
do not have America's best interests at heart
because they're Muslim. Right.
The implication is that we need to
basically force these people to violate
their religious
beliefs because if they don't,
these are basically
deep state Muslim actors.
That's the reason
she's afraid of it otherwise what is what do you fucking care what do you care why would you why
does this bother you yeah it's not because oh i hold on a minute there's some procedural element
that you forgot about and as a fucking yokel ass citizen because this is before she was elected
she's a fucking yokel this is is, this is like congressional racist citizen's arrest,
Cecil.
It is.
Exactly.
She has one bullet.
She's Gomer Pyle.
Santa's in the radius.
That's what she's doing.
She's running around
like Gomer Pyle.
It's ridiculous.
How is this person
in Congress?
Okay, Tom.
Yep.
What book do you swear on?
If I have to swear on a book?
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know. Do you know offhand? What book would you swear on? If I have to swear on a book? Yeah. I don't know.
Do you know offhand?
What book would you swear on?
I feel really on the moment right now.
Demon Haunted World.
Demon Haunted World would be a good one.
I would do Demon Haunted World, I think.
Demon Haunted World,
because that would fucking make people so mad
and it would definitely tick off
every single fucking evangelical in the country.
They'd be furious that I swore on a demon.
They would call it a demon book.
It would be the best, man.
Oh, they would be so confused.
It would be the best.
It would be the best.
I actually, I might steal your answer because it's so good.
Not only is it a skeptic book,
but it's also a fucking book that people would misconstrue the title for.
It's amazing.
That's really good.
Yeah.
It scared the shit out of him.
Yeah.
What about,
don't you have like a favorite
like novel or something?
Couldn't you do it on a novel?
I mean like,
Grendel is my favorite novel.
It'd be weird to swear on it though.
Because like,
it's weird to swear on any book, Tom.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I was like,
like my,
immediately my first thought was like,
well,
I would just be fucking cute about it
and like swear on the dictionary
and be like,
I have all the words.
I have all the best words.
All right, audience, what book do you swear on?
Let us know and tweet it at us or post it on Facebook and let us know.
As I travel around this land of ours, one thought comes back to me again and again.
These people are nuts!
This story is from Huffington Post.
Just a matter of time.
Just a fucking matter of time.
Man arrested after allegedly injecting people
with fake COVID-19 vaccine.
And I guess when I say just a matter of time,
this guy tried it pretty much right away.
So this is a story about some motherfucker
who back in March saw the dollars
in front of a pandemic.
Saw the fear, turned it into dollars,
pretended that he created
his own home vaccine
from like Joe's Discount
Garage Vaccine Warehouse
or whatever the fuck.
What do you have to buy
at the Brew and Grow store
to make your own home vaccine?
Sorry, man.
Hey, could you just point me
to the vaccine aisle?
What do you do? What do you do?
What do you do?
You go to the place and they pull back a sheet
and there's in the back room,
there's the microscope section
and the Petri dishes
and the fucking Erlenmeyer flasks.
I know that like we have this delusional belief
that all the best ideas were started
by like two best friends in
a garage who figured out the fucking secret to cold fusion or whatever. First of all, that's a
bullshit origin story that if you believe you're an idiot, second of all, it's not ever, it's almost
never true. That's all just marketing. That's not how science and fucking vaccines work. People who have vaccines, they don't have to
post about it in fucking Facebook
ads. They sold
it. There's a picture from the five.
If you go to the show notes, the HuffPo article
has a picture of himself with this
weird shit-eating grin
standing by the fucking hood like you
would see at fucking ninth grade
science class, holding up
a vial and smiling like,
I made a whole thing of apple juice. He sold this shit on Facebook. I wouldn't. The other day,
Cecil, I'm going to tell you a Facebook story. The other day I was on Facebook and a friend of
the show had posted this picture of these beautiful boots. And I saw these boots and I was like,
damn, I want to buy those boots.
And I commented on it.
He's like, no, do not buy these boots.
This is a bullshit Facebook ad.
Go to an entirely different company
where you can find them where it's not bullshit.
Dude, those steaks were boots.
They were shoes, man.
They were, I wasn't injecting the shoes into my body.
I was going to wear them on my feet.
Oh, and let's be real clear here.
People injected this into their body.
Yeah, people sought this out.
This isn't just, oh, somebody lost a little money
and he never came through with the vaccine,
which is just as bad, by the way,
because you're giving people false hope.
But he's injecting people with this weird shit that he made in his fucking brewing gross store.
I know.
I know.
The fuck?
And he charged between $400 and $1,000.
People traveled all over the place to get this stuff.
And it's not like just random Joe whatever the schmuck traveled to get it.
The mayor of like San Jose City or something traveled to this guy.
And that's dangerous, right?
Because when leaders start supporting this kind of bullshit, there's often a trickle
down effect.
And also all these people who go out and get this bullshit vaccine, now they think they're
vaccinated and they're clearly not careful scientific thinkers.
So do you think they're going out and behaving like rationally given the pandemic they're going out and getting
covid and we know that because some of them ended up hospitalized with fucking covid later yep yep
jesus it's unbelievable and this is and this is exactly this is exactly what we're talking about
this is like literacy to understand that there's people out there
that are going to try to hurt you.
There are people out there
who are going to try to trick you.
They're going to try to fucking...
And this guy fucking 100% is charlatan.
Yeah.
These type of things are available on Facebook.
Like Facebook didn't see this
and somehow stop this.
Thank you.
Like this does continue to beg
what has become the eternal question,
which is, what is the responsibility
of these platforms to the material
that exists on these platforms?
You've got a guy who, and this is not,
he didn't do this on the secure
end-to-end, back-end messaging portion.
This is out in the open, right. This is out in the open,
right?
This is out in the open.
He's selling it.
And he's selling this shit saying like,
look,
it's government is not going to protect you.
Like you,
this post is on the site.
His,
his thing says the government is going to,
going to protect you.
There's nothing you can do.
This thing is going to take a long time.
I synthesize this protein in my fucking discount garage lab warehouse or whatever.
He said he made it, by the way, in half a day.
He didn't even work a full eight hours on it, guys.
I have binge-watched Breaking Bad
longer than this guy took
to fucking make a vaccine for COVID-19 in March.
Oh my God, dude.
In March.
Are you kidding me?
I...
Half a day?
Half a fucking day?
What the fuck are you even talking about?
Half a day?
I banged it out and then took a nap, jerked off twice.
What?
One time I made duck confit
and it took 72 hours.
Also, also, I have to point out,
he has additional Facebook pictures on here
from people that took his fucking vaccine.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
First of all, he injects it into each arm.
Yeah, sure.
I don't know.
I've had a lot of vaccines.
Symmetry.
Symmetry, Tom.
Right?
We got to get in the right...
First of all,
it's two shots administered
immediately concurrent
with the other shots,
but just with bilateral symmetry
because that's how the...
When it meets in the middle,
it's like...
And then there's like
a weird amount of bruising.
Yeah.
Because he's incompetent, Tom.
That's why.
That's why.
Why would you post that picture?
I've had, again, a lot of vaccines.
It's jabby in the arm.
You can't see it.
Maybe your arm is sore or there's like a little bump.
You don't have bruising in your veins because they don't typically inject vaccines into your veins.
You're not main lights.
I'm fucking heroin.
What the fuck?
They come into the COVID vaccine, they're burning it in a fucking spoon over a candle.
Holy shit, he's chasing a dragon with that fucking COVID-19 vaccine.
Hey, I already got the first booster in my arm.
Can you shoot some between my toes?
After the first one, man, it's never the same after that.
That first hit, man,
that first hit of the vaccine.
You got this guy
who's on his fourth dose of COVID vaccine
shooting it into his eyeball.
He's like walking out
on his fucking wife and kids
to fucking spend his life
fucking hustling on the street
for COVID vaccine.
Earlier in the day,
he did ass to ass with another guy
just to get a dose.
COVID vaccine. Earlier in the day,
he did ass to ass with another guy just to get a dose.
Jesus!
What is happening, man?
Why is this on your side face?
You built algorithms
to keep me fucking looking at your
shoe ads and whatever. Yeah, well, they
built algorithms that if there's
a boobie, you can't. Like, there's people who can
report that shit. You know, I was just thinking to to myself i'll bet you that there's no way i could
go on to ebay and and and within a uh uh a certain amount of time if i were to list say radioactive
material i guarantee i would get a knock on my door right there's no way that that ebay would
allow something like that yeah i the same thing like I couldn't become an Amazon seller, I'm sure,
and be like,
I'm selling vials
of COVID vaccine.
Yeah.
Right?
And it's not because
some human person,
it's because they would just build
an AI infrastructure
that looks for bullshit.
Yeah.
Why don't you have
an AI infrastructure
that looks for
horrifying disinformation bullshit?
What brings you to see the doctor?
That is private.
Chronic obesity and pear-shaped figure.
I am not pear-shaped.
Take a seat, Mr. Bartlett.
That's Sherman.
So hospital incursions by COVID deniers putting lives at risk, say health leaders.
So there's fucking people who think the COVID thing is a
hoax and the vaccine is an attempt to control the population. And they're storming the hospitals at
this point. They're going to the hospitals and they are actively interfering in the care
of patients. They're getting in the fucking way of staff, of medical professionals trying to give care to patients.
Holy what the fuck.
I'm going to read from here.
There's a video in it, but I'm going to read from it.
In the latest example of a growing trend,
a group of people were ejected by security from a COVID-19 ward last week
as one of them filmed staff claiming the virus was a hoax
and demanding that a seriously ill patient be sent home.
Quote,
he will die
if he's taken from here.
A consultant tells the man
on footage.
Yeah.
Because the motherfucker
is like on a ventilator.
Yeah.
And he's sitting up.
He wants to leave.
They want to take him.
But everybody's in the hole.
Everybody who knows anything
in the entire situation
is saying he will die
if he leaves here.
And then they're arguing
and saying,
well, he has oxygen at home. They're saying that he doesn't have this much oxygen. It's not the same
oxygen. You can't just take him home and pretend that it's the same level of oxygen that he's
going to get at home. It's not the same level of care, but people think that they just come in and
say, well, it's not a real thing. They, the one guy argues with the doctor and says, oh, do you
mean COVID-19 that was proven not to exist? Yeah. Well, then
they say, they say in this, the guy behind the camera says at one point, like the guy just needs
to go home and have some vitamin C. Yep. He needs to have some vitamin C and some fucking
multivitamins. Yep. And the guy's like, those aren't treatments for COVID. Yeah. What the fuck?
What? No. This is, I mean, like the disinformation is such a fucking problem man
yeah yeah it's such it like none of this had to happen none of this had to happen this is all the
natural and inevitable result of a massive disinformation campaign by people who wanted
to remain personally in charge i i i'm well that's the thing right this is happening right now and it's because
we had such wishy-washy
bullshit messaging from the start
we had, there were real doctors
on the stage from the very beginning who were saying
this is a horrible thing, it's going to fuck people up
and you should really pay attention to it
and the whole time
because everybody was afraid that the stock market
was going to crash, was hedging their
bets and talking all week. They were just using weak language or they weren't doing things or
they were saying certain things weren't as important as other things. They were making
decisions, medical decisions when they had no right to make those decisions. They were saying
medical things when they had no background or any kind of knowledge on how to talk about it or even how to contend with it.
And that happened from the top down in this country, all over this country.
It wasn't just the president.
It was the president and all the people who worked for him and all the people who worked in government all over this country and state governments and local governments and city governments.
All over this country, there was so many people who wanted businesses to stay open.
And so they fucking made up something.
And the right-wing media sycophants
who not only helped to spread,
but to amplify that story,
the Tucker Carlson's
and all the rest of the Hannity's
and all the rest of those fucking monsters,
all the rest of those absolute
fucking degenerate asshole monsters.
Like we are really at a place of real existential crisis
if we do not get back to both identifying who experts are
and ensuring that we listen to experts.
When you're talking about something like COVID,
your local GP is not a fucking viral epidemiologist.
Like your politician is not an expert, right?
Expertise narrows as the world gets more complicated.
That's a really important thing to know.
Expertise gets narrower and narrower as we learn more
and as the world becomes a more complex place to live.
There's no such thing as people that are experts in 12 different fields,
like not really expert at it.
That's why like you continue to,
you know, refine and refine and refine
your area of expertise
as your education goes deeper and further.
There's a reason that that's necessary
because all that education is what's required
to take somebody from,
you know, an educational level that has this broad base of expertise and to refine it deeper
and deeper.
The only people qualified should have been the CDC.
It should have been like the World Health Organization.
It should have been viral epidemiologists.
Those are the leaders in this field.
Anyone who's not in that field is not a leader.
They don't know what the fuck
they should be listening to them.
Expertise matters.
Imagine if we did the same thing
with if there was a tsunami coming in
where we said,
well, we just want to keep
the businesses open.
Yeah, right.
We understand it's going to be
bad for business.
They're probably going to get flooded out.
So I want to sell some stuff
before it actually gets here.
You know, the same thing I say,
we don't do it with anything else
except for the human body, right? We don't do this with anything else, we don't do it with anything else except for the human body,
right?
We don't do this with anything else.
We don't do it with TV repair.
We don't do it with fucking car repair.
We don't ever argue with the fucking guy who comes out and says,
it's the fucking steering pump.
We don't argue with that guy.
He comes out and says,
it's the,
it's the fucking brake fluid or it's the fucking hoggly gook.
And you say,
sure,
whatever.
And he says,
I'll be $175,000. And then you pay him
and you leave. That's how it works, right? When the guy comes in to fix my air conditioner,
I don't say, well, are you sure? You know, you sure you don't want to splash a little vitamin
C on it? I don't say that. I just fucking, whatever you say, bro. Sure. You think it's
the fucking pipes that come up from here and go into there. And it's a pump that does this.
I'm sure, you know, better than I do do i never fucking argue with that guy and the problem is is that none of the other people in the
world do that either that's but they seem to think that there is some way that they can argue with
somebody who is fucking has medical knowledge that that somehow is a way like no you don't know
come on you're just a doctor yeah well we we have been fooled by our access to information into believing
that we are all able to become experts quickly on anything. Well, I can Google it.
Yeah. I can Google it. I can look it up. You fucking cannot even approach the vocabulary.
You cannot approach the vocabulary required to become an expert in almost any significant field.
You can't Google your way into being a fucking geologist.
You can't do it, right?
You can't.
And the thing is, like, geologists will tell you, like,
the idea of geologists isn't meaningful
because there's so many subsets of geology
and there's real differences between the knowledge bases
from this kind of geologist to that other fucking kind of geologist.
Because again, expertise narrows and narrows and narrows at the top until it becomes this really laser-focused thing.
We have got to get over this bullshit idea that the democratization of information has created expertise in the populace.
It has done the opposite.
It has absolutely done the opposite.
Your ability to fucking Google baseball scores and read a handful of Wikipedia pages about
historical figures and turn them into a podcast does not make you an expert. It's literally the
joke of the opening of our other show. But we ourselves. Yeah. We're dying because of this.
Yeah.
4,000 people a day.
Your tsunami thing, man.
By the end of February,
this will be a death toll
in the United States
equal to two
of the tsunamis that happened.
Remember the big-ass tsunami?
In 2011 or whatever,
2010, I forget exactly
when it was.
I forgot the year.
I think it was the Christmas tsunami.
The Christmas tsunami.
In India.
This will be equivalent by the end of February to that twice. Twice.
And that was such, it was 2004. 2004 in the Indian Ocean. And there was 227,000,
almost 228,000 people died. And all of that is because of the bad information.
That's why this is happening.
It's the virus.
Yes.
But the information is what makes the virus spread.
Yeah.
That's what's making at this point.
We know that is what's making it.
This virus has gone viral.
Yeah.
We know for sure.
A hundred percent that we knew early on the masks helped.
We knew that early on.
Trump said it in a, in a, in a call. Trump said it was airborne in a call. We knew early on the masks helped. We knew that early on. Trump said it in a call.
Trump said it was airborne in a call.
We knew early on.
Even if we didn't put the masks on till March,
even if in March
all the messaging had shifted,
there was a public recognition
that we were wrong before,
but here's what needs to happen now.
And that message was strong
and it was unified.
In March,
if everybody had put on a fucking mask
and worn the fucking mask, we wouldn't be here.
Yeah.
We just wouldn't be here.
If we'd have been cautious throughout the whole time,
we would have definitely not been here.
Where are you going, brain?
Back to the cage to plan for tomorrow night.
Why?
What are we going to do tomorrow night?
The same thing we do every
night, Pinky. Try to take over the world without Larry. So this one's just a fucking giggle. This
is from Rolling Stone. QAnon believers are pushing new Trump conspiracy theories on TikTok.
This is amazing. They have not given up this fight. On the day of the election or the day of the inauguration, I posted
something on
I think it was on Twitter
and someone had came back to me and told me
the March 4th date. They had said
no, they're now pushing it up because I said to QAnon
I said to QAnon people, I was like basically
hey man, I know it's up, the gig is up
but maybe it's time to come to reason essentially is what I
said. And they said no,
all the QAnon people have fucking moved the goalposts.
They think, here's the theory, guys.
This is the craziest shit.
So Biden is president, by the way.
That happened.
That ship has sailed.
It's here.
He's, you know, getting his cabinet confirmed right now.
So, right, yeah.
getting his cabinet confirmed right now.
TikTok users are propagating
the idea that an obscure
1871 act
made the United States a corporation
and not a federal government,
thus rendering any laws
passed after that year
moot. Every law
passed after 1871 is
moot, according to them, and U.S.
citizens are not subject to them.
I will say, Tom, that really is making America great again.
I mean, if you're back to then, oh my God, man.
Think of how far we've come in that time.
There's a lot of people that are going to be a little shocked
when they find out they're not citizens or can't vote.
They can't.
How are we?
Okay.
Anyway, according to this theory, women can't black people.
Okay.
According to this theory, the United States will revert back to its original form.
Revert back to its original form.
We're not a Pikachu.
Thank you.
Fuck out of here.
Thank you.
Is Voltron going to disassemble back into the individual lions?
Are you fucking kidding me?
This isn't Dragon Ball Z.
Get the shit out of here.
All of a sudden, we're just not going to have like, parts of America weren't even states in 1871.
Like, big parts, huge parts of America weren't yet America.
Okay.
They believe the United States will revert back to its original form on March 4th,
the day when presidents were inaugurated prior to the 1933 passage of the 20th Amendment,
because that doesn't count.
Neither does the 19th Amendment, which kind of would be...
Anyway, they believe Trump will be sworn in as the 19th president of the United States,
which means that the last president this theory recognizes was Ulysses S. Grant.
What I love is that also means that they do not recognize the last Trump presidency.
Right, right.
Yeah, no, you're right.
You're right.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
What?
He's going to be. yeah no you're right you're right what the fuck yeah what he's gonna be if he's gonna be the 19th
president then he wasn't already the president they're just pulling out like that they're just
being like that didn't count since 1871 this is fucking harold camping moving the goalposts again. Oh, did I say May 21st? I meant October 3rd.
Like, what the fuck, man?
You said the world was going to end.
That's on you.
Here's a great post.
Listen, patriots, y'all can relax.
We're going back to a republic come March.
Trump will be back in the presidency,
but he will be the 19th president
because we're not going to be a corporation no more. We're going back to the Republic, says some asshole on TikTok.
Your boy will be inaugurated March 4th, period, point blank, end of story. This is said, by the
way, by somebody with 78,000 followers with a video that has 15,400 views. One of the videos talking about this jibber jabber
has 442,000 views. Well, that just means it's going to be 442,000 people really disappointed.
They're going to be all sad. They're going to be shaking their TikTok phones, screaming at them.
You lied to me. You lied to me.
Get the fuck out of here.
These people have got to be trolling, right?
These are trolls, right?
Because you can't literally think this.
These are...
Cecil, I am unable to understand what people literally think anymore.
We have a congresswoman
who thinks that space lasers
started the California wildfire
because the Rothschilds are alien brain.
I mean, like I'm done. I'm done saying like, this is, it's so bizarre. It must be fake. Like
we're at a place where I'm like, nah, nah, man. It's so bizarre. It must be the right.
Yeah. I, you know, at a certain point I'm going to be, I'm going to, I'm going to agree with you
and just say, yeah, you know what? Maybe they do mean it. Maybe they do mean it.
I'm going to agree with you and just say, yeah, you know what?
Maybe they do mean it. Maybe they do mean it. Yeah.
I used to think that we couldn't descend
further into farce, and
what we've done is we've descended into
a level of chaos
that's just scary.
It's just existentially terrifying.
What's interesting is that
we almost certainly
practical joked ourselves into stupidity
because you know some of this stuff early on was a practical joke.
Q and all that stuff, you know that was done by trolls.
There's no way that someone thought that was true.
The first posts that came out about this were all practical joke posts
meant to troll people, meant to trick people.
That's what it was made for.
And so we practical joked ourselves into being dumber.
We practical joked ourselves into an insurrection. Yeah, we did. Can you imagine there is a guy out
there who was playing the Q role, who invented Q and threw it out there and they think they even
know who it is. And like, he's just fucking around writing this fucking g and i have to genuinely wonder what that
guy thinks and feels right now yeah like does he feel bad is he like happy of the chaos is he
like is he weirded out is q still posting do you know his q still i don't know i don't know
i wonder if he feels like the guy who stepped on the butterfly in the time machine and now
nothing happened after that we're. It's all like lizard people
or something, you know.
So we want to thank
our patrons.
Of course, we want to thank
all our patrons.
We want to thank
our newest patrons,
Jordan, Adam, Jonathan,
Syharadi.
That's a lot of consonants.
I'm sorry.
I don't know how to say it.
Send us a pronunciation guide to help.
Ryan, Garbage Pig.
I can pronounce that one.
Shannon, Kevin, Glenn, Stefan, and Lisa.
And also the people up there pledges,
Jonathan and Morden.
Thank you so much for your generous donations.
We really do truly appreciate it.
Guys, Glory Hill Studios doesn't exist
without your donations.

and that we have live streams and all the special stuff that we do
for people who listen and for people who watch.
So the show doesn't happen without that.
And so we want to thank everybody who pitches in every week
to make sure this show is possible.
We want to thank you so much.
We got a message. Tom,
this is from
is it Loughton or Laughton? I don't know.
Loughton. I'm going to say Loughton
because it looks like that. It is one of those.
We got a message. This is
erotica fiction. My Antifa
lover. I read the weirdest
Trump era erotica,
so you don't have to.
Oh, what terrible
is that? It's so great. And one of these
is Trump's Twitter
ban written by none other
than Chuck Tingle. It's not just that.
It's pounded in the butt by my handsome
Trump's Twitter ban, by the way. It's not
just Trump's Twitter ban. Oh, I misread it because
I just saw that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it's pounded in the butt by.
So, yeah.
So, by Chuck Tingle.
You can check out
our Chuck Tingle episode
on Citation Needed.
You can also check out
our Burke and Wills episode
that just came out.
Or Burke and Willis.
It's up to you.
It depends.
It's a choose your own adventure,
but the adventure still ends
and everybody dies.
Yeah.
And here's the thing.
I don't need to know
about your history. You're from underneath the planet. Like, I don't need to know about your history.
You're from underneath the planet.
I don't need to know about that.
You guys died trying to figure out
how to go north in your own house.
That's your fault.
That's a little of your fault.
These are not your heroes we were mocking, I guess.
Yeah, we don't need to get their names right.
They couldn't even find water.
They ate a snake full of dysentery for crying out loud.
The fuck out of here.
I don't need to remember their names.
I don't know anything about that.
I don't know anything about Lewis and Blark, whatever.
It was Lewis and Clerk, wasn't it?
And Silent Bob.
It was Lewis and Clerk and Silent Bob. Lewis, Clerk, and Silent Bob. There Silent Bob. It was Lewis and Clark and Silent Bob.
Lewis, Clark, and Silent Bob.
There you go.
Yeah.
Lewis and Clarks.
Okay.
We got a message and Craig said, yes, you were right.
I didn't hear you on Skeptics of the Cape, but on Incredulous, the game show thingamabob they do.
They don't do it all the time, though, Craig.
I mean, let's not get crazy.
They do it like the time though, Craig. I mean, let's not get crazy. They do it like once every two years.
But yes, you're right.
No, they have actually,
they've ramped up their production schedule.
Since the pandemic.
It's the pandemic has pushed them.
Yeah, they did one in June
and then they did one in December.
So they, I mean, they've really,
no, I'm fucking around.
They did two in December and one in June.
One in June.
Wow.
So, I mean, they did, you know.
It's a breakneck speed, those comedians.
They had four episodes in 2020.
I can't even download them fast enough.
There's, they're about an hour long.
They basically produced upwards of five hours
of entertainment last year.
Wow.
Congratulations, guys.
That's really something.
So we got a message,
and this one is from Seth.
It's a link to an article that says,
Sarah Sanders, ex-Trump press secretary
to run for Arkansas governor.
I want to correct the headline.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders has never run to anything.
And if she did,
reverberations would be felt
around the globe.
Yeah, if you look over
at your glass of water
and you see the ripples,
Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
It's Sarah Huckabee Sanders
going to the fridge
to see if there's leftovers.
All I'm saying is
her fucking eyesight
is based on movement.
She does have predator eyes
on each side of her head.
Oh, amazing.
She's fat.
Oh, God.
That's it.
I only mean it in a mean way
because I don't like her personally.
Can you run for governor
if you live in multiple zip codes?
We got a message from Matt and Matt says,
a year ago, Fauci and Trump said the worst case scenario would be 400,000 deaths.
Do you think there is even a mechanism or for your previous government to be held legally liable or prosecuted for their mismanagement of the pandemic response?
And I want to say they sure as shit put fucking Hillary on a fucking Senate hearing when Benghazi happened.
Yep.
And there was, you know, a couple of people died.
What happens here?
Yeah, nothing.
We have,
like, I will say to answer your question,
there's no mechanism. We have
mechanisms, but our government is broken.
So nothing will happen.
Got a message from
Rina, and Rina says,
after the last episode,
you mentioned Q and
QAnon people that are involved people involved
with q anon and there's a subreddit called rq anon casualties it's all one word uh and it's
dedicated to those whose relatives friends or significant other fell into cure q with helpful
resources that can help manage those that are dealing with mental issues or in otherwise in
danger because of close Q believers.
So we'll put a link to it on this week's show notes.
It's a Reddit called RQAnonCasualties.
All right.
So that is going to wrap it up for this week.
Next week, come join us on the stream.
