Show Notes   Goddammit Newegg  

This episode of Cognitive Dissonance is brought to you by our patrons. You fucking rock. Be advised that this show is not for children, the faint of heart, or the easily offended. The explicit tag is there for a reason. recording live from glory hole studios in chicago beyond, 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 617 of cognitive dissonance and Cecil. We are pulled apart once more this time,

not by the rampages of pestilence, but mother nature herself. The snow Cecil has kept us apart. We are recording Tom from afar. Somebody in the like, Illinois is not a place where you would expect someone to just fucking give up driving a car in the middle of the road in the snow but tonight but tonight i was driving home and in the middle of the fucking road this lady just gave the fuck

up she was like no i'm done peacing out she literally stopped in the middle of the road two fucking yellow lines on the other side. And then she made everybody in the line go around her because she was like, no, I'm fucking done. I'm not driving another centimeter home. Part of me admires that kind of obstinacy. You know what I mean? You're just like, you know, because like the rest of us are just, we're just fucking, fuck, I got to do it. And you slog through and you just like fucking head down. You're hating your life. And she's just like, no, I got to do it. And you slog through and you just like fucking head down. You're hating your life. And she's just like, no, I'm just not doing it anymore.

It's 2022 and we have reached a point where people are just like, fuck, I ain't even driving anymore. I am not even driving. The great resignation has reached drivers now. It's amazing. It was employers. Now it's drivers. Everybody's resigning.

You know, the other thing I hate about driving in the winter here, and I'm sure a lot of people have to deal with this, right, is like, especially today when there's so much snow coming down and then you have your windshield wipers on and then you have your defrosters on full, you eventually wind up with an ice club for a windshield wiper. It's like an ice club and it's just waving. There's nothing you can do about that.

Nothing. It's eventually, it turns into one big foam finger. That's like, we're number one. And it's like waving itself back and forth. It's insane, dude.

It's insane. I will also say, and I, this is just getting worse. It genuinely is getting worse and worse. They, I feel like Cecil, they used to plow the roads.

And now I don't feel like anybody plows the road. They knew the storm was coming because they canceled fucking school. Then the storm doesn't hit till mid-afternoon. I drove... I didn't see a single fucking plow, Cecil. I drove

60, 70 miles today easily, and I didn't see a single plow. Yikes. It's just, it's fucking. How are you surprised by this? My wife is from New York. She's like, the roads are never this bad. She's like, it snows and they put plows out right away.

It's Chicago is the worst for this. Not only is Chicago bad at doing what you're saying, which is like cleaning things off, because we're constantly in the fucking negs. We don't have any money. We got like a guy and he kind of uses his car. He's on break.

He's like, whatever. And it's like when he gets to it, like he's got to finish this round of Call of Duty before he gets out there to go fucking work on the roads. But the other thing too is like, whatever. And it's like, when he gets to it, like he's got to finish this round of Call of Duty before he gets out there to go fucking work on the roads. But the other thing too is like, our drivers are the worst drivers in the world. Yeah. So you also are stuck with-

Indisputably. Terrible drivers who have no idea what they're doing. They're constantly trying to change lanes. They're zipping around you. Everybody's in the ditch. Like you just go down the road and there's just like ditch, ditch, ditch, ditch, ditch, ditch. It's insane. Like we're the worst drivers. We have no preventative. It's absolutely like bumper cars out there. It's insane. I am always amazed at

how many people I've been driving. I drive and I drive a lot. I put a lot of miles on my car and I always have. And I've never veered off the road. Not at all. Not ever. No times have I intended to be on the road and then found myself no longer on the road. My fucking first car as a learning driver was an 89 Ford Mustang with rear wheel drive. I drove that thing in all kinds of weather with bald tires, Cecil, because I was broke. It never went off the road because you don't just, but people out here, they fucking floor it.

They think they've got, they got all wheel drive. They're like, yeah, well, I've got great traction. It's like, yeah, but you can't stop. You gotta stop. You eventually have to stop. Stopping is the thing. All wheel drive is not, they're always in the ditches, man. It's insane, dude.

It's the worst. It's like that Dragula song from fucking Rob Zombie out here. You know, it's crazy. I'm sure that there's going to be a lot of people who will send us messages

and be like, you should see it in blah, blah, blah. You should see it in blah, blah, blah. I'm sure every place is bad. I suspect the Northeast is probably pretty good because they get fucking hit with snow all the time. Constantly.

So they're probably better at it than we are. But like the places on the, like, and I imagine like Colorado is probably pretty good too, right? You got a year up in the mountains, you probably get a lot of snow. You just get used to it. We just get just enough of it

for us to be really bad at it. Yeah, dude. We get just enough. Yep. We're high school boyfriend sex. You know? It's just enough to be bad. It. Yeah, dude. We get just enough. Yep. We're high school boyfriend sex. You know? It's like... It's just enough to be bad. It's happening, but like it's not any good. You know?

That's amazing. Are you not going to take the red pill? Hell no, man. That shit is weak. I'm going to crush this purple pill and rip me a bump, go to my local hospital, punch a doctor. You know what I mean? Woo!

Oh, my God, baby. I don't feel nothing for no one. Whoa. All right. So this story comes from Business Insider. Just listen to this whole headline. This is the world we're living in. This is so good.

Anti-vaxxers head to a new life in a remote colony in Paraguay founded by conservative free thinkers who want to escape the Matrix. What the fuck just happened to the world?

What just happened to the world, Cecil? I didn't think John Galt was in the Matrix. That's weird. The fuck? It escaped the Matrix? That's crazy. Anyway. I don't even see people anymore.

All I see is Biden, Pritzker, Mask, Fauci. Fauci. You walk by. As they walk by, like you just see Fauci in Fauci. You walk by, as they walk by, like you just see Fauci in that dress. He walks by and turns back

and looks in the red dress. You're dead. He's got a mask on. He's pointing a syringe at your face when you turn back. The cops are shooting ivermectin bullets at you

as you... Actually, you wouldn't dodge those. Youmectin bullets at you. Actually, you wouldn't dodge those. You just want those to hit you. You go to get the jab. It's like, this is the sound of inevitability. You got to choose the red pill is ivermectin. The blue one's hydroxychloroquine. Jesus.

My favorite part of this article, Tom. This is basically a bunch of people. They just leave their countries to go to Paraguay. I mean, that seems like a weird, that seems like a weird dart throw anyway. That seems a little random to start, but it says here, it says, immigrants have settled in Paraguay's poorest region,

creating a colony designed as a refuge from socialist trends of current economic and political situations worldwide, as well as 5g chemtrails, fluoridated water, mandatory vaccinations and healthcare mandates. And it's like, yeah, man,

fucking great. You, now you get to live in a country, like a little tiny shitty country, like a fucking seasteading fucking barge country that has no safety net. It has fucking, what, shitty phone service. It has bad teeth. It has fucking tons of people infecting each other

with like your fucking sickness du jour and coughing in someone's face is a fucking unalienable right like i get to cough i get to cough in your face motherfucker i get to cough in your face and there better not be any good cell reception anywhere around here also there's fucking zero hospital icu beds anywhere near. They said there was zero. Zero. None. None at all. Paraguay, they're also,

they're right outside the poorest region of a country that is by and large a poor country. It's actually a country that has a fair amount of wealth, but the wealth is incredibly concentrated. So almost all of the actual people there are very deeply, deeply poor. So you've got a bunch of fucking, I mean, honestly, you got a bunch of fucking spoiled fucking Europeans and Americans and fucking idiots zipping their way over to live in some compound in Paraguay. Just doing what? Just doing what? Hiding from fluoridated water?

Motherfuckers, you're hiding from clean, safe drinking water. You're hiding from quality dental care. You're hiding from the... And I just think, like, good, man. Go live in the middle of the fucking jungle, you fucking idiots. I hope a fucking jaguar rips your dumb throats out,

you fucking morons. Isn't this the best case scenario? Isn't this the best case scenario? Isn't this natural fucking selection, man? Just go. Just go. Like this is, of all the things that happen to anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers,

like this is the best thing. You self-selected this for you. Great. Because all it takes is like one traveler to show up with a fucking cough. And there's going to be how many people in your community? They didn't say, they were saying a lot of these people aren't fucking spring chickens either. These are people who are older, right? So you're getting retirees come in there. You'll get one person in there with a sniff

with a fucking stuffy nose. Yeah, man, you're going to have some real problems. If there's zero ICU beds and no ambulances. Yep. Also, if there is an ambulance, who cares? What are you going to do? Drive you around the block until you feel better?

Yeah, the people that... He's like, well, okay, well, there's really nowhere to go. I can turn the music up. Will that make you feel any better? I can play Life is a highway again you want me to do that or no yes i would highly transmissible yeah that's the highway to hell is what it is exactly

we're talking about like 6 000 people and they're looking to expand this thing to 20 000 people and what what cracks me up ce, is they want this to be this conservative utopia in the middle of the fucking jungle. And I'm just like- It's Atlantis. It's John Galt, dude. Right.

But how this always works, this works like the fucking bears in Connecticut or whatever that Heath was talking about. At some point, you're going to reach a critical mass of people and then you're going to have

to start making rules and then you're going to have to start having government. This is all going to reach a critical mass of people and then you're going to have to start making rules and then you're going to have to start having government. This is all going to fucking fall apart, you fucking idiots. I will be surprised if this doesn't end in some kind of tragedy. There's no way this is,

because to your point, 20,000 people, they can't isolate. They're going to end up getting COVID and the only people who can afford to give up their lives and move to the middle of the jungle are retirees. The rest of us are in our working years.

And the reason why this never fucking works is because there's always someone who's going to take advantage unless there's some rule set to stop them from taking advantage. It just never fucking works without rules. These people think that they're like, no, man, we don't need any rules. And then the moment, the moment shit starts going down,

like we need a lot of rules. Sure, man. And as soon as like somebody gets sick and starts walking around and someone's like, hey man, you're fucking sick walking around. You should stay home. I have to stay home.

It like, it's all good. That's my freedom. Right. Yeah. Well, I guess we don't have any American bald eagles down here in Paraguay to take this to and adjudicate this dispute. I don't know what to do. And I say, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

I say, hey, what's going on? And I say, what's going on? And I say... This story comes from LGBTQ Nation. Ottawa residents are using a heavy metal song about gay cowboys to get rid of anti-vax truckers. All right. So, Tom, the song they're playing is a song called Ram Ranch.

It's by Grant McDonald. Okay, I'm not going to preface this with anything but saying this called Ram Ranch. It's by Grant McDonald. Okay, I'm not going to preface this with anything but saying this is Ram Ranch. So we're going to play a piece of it. Now, this is a six-minute song. I am not going to play it for six minutes. I'm just going to play it until Tom taps out. Okay.

Eighteen naked cowboys in the showers at Ram Ranch. Big herd throbbing cocks wanting to be sucked. 18 naked cowboys wanted to be fucked. What? This is the song? Cowboys in the showers at Ram Ranch on their knees wanting to suck cowboy cocks. Ram Ranch really rocks. He's not even trying to sing it.

He's not even trying to sing. Hot, hard, buff cowboys. Their cocks throbbing hard. 18 more wild cowboys out in the yard. With bulging cocks ever so hard. Okay, that's all I got. That's it. That's all you got.

I can't do it. Hold on, guys. Let me just tell you, it goes on like that. So it just goes on like that. But like, this is fucking Chuck Tingle, the music.

It is. It is so awkwardly terrible. It is so much worse than I thought it was going to be. I read, so, so funny, Cecil, because I read the lyrics, but I didn't actually listen to

the song. I was like, oh, those lyrics are funny. It'll be good for the show. We'll talk about it. Yeah. It never occurred to me that it would be just said with music behind it. I have so many questions about how you produce a song where the music is quieter than the voice and the voice is just pretty much saying stuff like this.

Yeah, it's just like, hey, you know, just so you know. Here's a list of things. Here's a, you know, I was thinking the other day about this Ram Ranch. It's fucking awesome. I love that they're playing that at people. My fucking favorite part.

So if you're unfamiliar, the Ottawa, so the entire city of Ottawa, it feels like, at least from what I've seen, I don't know exactly how extensive this is, but there's a large group of people that had trucks that essentially just went to Ottawa and then now they're blocking streets. They're just parked in the middle of the street. They just stopped to take over an entire city. And so they're just blocked.

And then in the middle of the night, they will just let their air horns run and just blow their air horns. They're out in the middle street shouting. And they're essentially just trying to disturb the peace the entire time. They don't want, I'm not quite sure what they don't want. Vaccines maybe? I think the thing is, is that a lot of these truckers that are up in like 90% of the truckers that are in fucking Canada are already vaccinated. This is just like a small group of dipshits that are very angry. And so they're mad

and they're blowing off their fucking horns and they're being jackasses and they're out there talking on these radios. So like CBs and whatnot and they're communicating to each other.

Well, these people are just like, okay, asshole. And they just get on the CB and they just play Ram Brace. You have to shut it off. And it's so amazing. Whatever can be done to make their lives as fucking miserable as possible, because that Ottawa truck shit show is a horror. I've read a few articles and I've listened to the daily about it. And it's like, it's a fucking horror. The thing is like, to your point, 90% of truckers are vaccinated. So most of this is actually being drummed up, not by the truckers themselves, but by it reeks of the Tea Party, where it looks like a grassroots movement, but it's actually entirely funded by outside forces.

entirely funded by outside forces. Many of those forces aren't even Canadian. A lot of those forces are American forces. And a lot of the nonsense of this, these guys are walking around waving fucking American flags. They're walking down the street yelling freedom, which is a uniquely American ethos. It's not part of like the Canadian mindset to fucking fetishize freedom and liberty in the same way that we fetishize freedom and liberty here. The whole thing is political. It's drummed up. There's nothing organic about it. And it's fucking shit up. It's making it impossible to move goods. It's making the supply chain problems much, much, much worse. It's fucking with the residents of Ottawa. It's a mess. It's a total mess. And it's bled out of Ottawa.

And now they're doing this at other bridges, other major bridges across Canada, between Canada and the US. They got taken off a couple of them. They've just like, they just went in and took them up. But I want to point out too, you know,

these are a lot of Americans that are doing this, but you know, on the other side of this, a couple of years ago, you know, when there was some big protests happening, and I think this was actually before the George Floyd protests, people were marching, it'd be at Black Lives Matter

or something, and they would block a street for 20 minutes, 30 minutes, whatever. And the fucking right went absolutely insane. they passed laws in places where you should be able to hit them with your car they've they've gone out of their way to say how abominable this is but the moment covid started i don't know if you remember but one of the first stories we

covered when there was these people who were anti-vaxxers or whatever or anti i forget what they were they were anti-lockdown people or whatever, or anti, I forget what they were. They were anti lockdown people. They had blocked off a fucking hospital. They had blocked off the road right around the house and they parked in the middle of the road. It's different. It's different too than the people who are marching on the street. Those people are putting their body in the way, right? They're like, I'm going to stop with my body. All these other people are like, I'm a fucking giant coward. I'm just going to park my big truck here and there's nothing you can do to stop me. When people block a road, it's to have a protest that is symbolic. That's what it is for. It's to have the attention. You

get the spotlight. Then you get somebody to stand up and you get your points heard. You get to create a little bit of mild disruption, but this is not mild disruption. This is like taking place over the course of weeks. This has been going on since the 28th of January. These trucks weigh 30,000 pounds. They're bleeding their brake lines and taking off their tires so the trucks can't be towed. They're creating entire enclaves. They've got a huge amount of logistical support. So they have trucks that come in and bring in, they truck in supplies of toilet paper and food and tampons and things like portable saunas and hot tubs, as well as like bottled water and porta potties. There's a huge like logistical effort that is a part of this protest, which is meant not just to say, hey, we disagree and we want our rights to be heard

and we want to address grievances. This is, we want to sow the seeds of chaos and anarchy. We want to control this whole town. We want to basically bully the government into making a different decision. And that's different. That is objectively just a different action. And it has massive economic consequences,

massive economic consequences. I read a story that the economic consequences so far from the Ottawa truck protests is at least equal to, if not greater than the entire BLM protest economic consequences. And I have no doubt of that because if you can't move goods over that international border, all kinds of shit shuts down. They're going to have to do something eventually. Yeah. Well, and that's the other thing is that I fail to see why this is

that intractable of a problem. You just arrest the people. Just like we'd have to move their trucks right away. But if you arrest all the people, then you've got all the leisure time in the world to fucking move their trucks with some big ass goddamn tow trucks. They just get cranes and move them out of the way.

They're kind of letting some of this shit happen. Canada declared a state of emergency. They have like national emergency powers or whatever to finally start clearing some of these fuckers out of there. But they let this shit go on for weeks and it's cost millions of dollars. These people in Ottawa are pissed too. I saw Canadians screaming to these fucking assholes from their balcony.

They're flipping them off. They're yelling. This one guy just walks out in the middle of the road with a pot and a, and a ladle. And he's just sitting right in front of these people that are out there. And he's just banging it right in front of their face. And the one guy's like, get that on my face.

He's like, well, don't walk into it. And he just keeps on swinging it. Can you imagine what could have happened if Sheriff had seen this? I mean, if he knew? What are they hiding up in that fancy mail?

We said we'd do whatever it takes, right? Whatever it takes. Conspiracies! Whoa! So this story comes from deadstate.org. QAnon conspiracy theorist invents new conspiracy theory to explain why QAnon predictions never happened. And you got to hear him say it because the fucking mental gymnastics

that one has to do to both acknowledge that none of the shit you thought was going to happen happened, but also that that's okay. And you should have expected that. You just got to hear it. It's amazing. Also, these guys look exactly alike. Like these two guys are hairless cats. I seriously thought these were the same guy. I thought, I thought this was just like a before and after. Well, it's just before and before. It feels like one of them's names is Patrick Gunnels

and another one's name is Praying Medic. That's what I'm seeing. Jesus Christ. All right, here we go. Tell them about this. They look literally identical. They look identical.

They're the exact same. They're like, they're powder. They're exactly the same guy. No one has been more pissed off at Q than me for for the you know three years we sat through of i'm so mad i'm so mad because nothing has happened yet right that's amazing i love that he's like boy i i gotta say i feel a little duped say, I feel a little duped here. I do feel a little duped. I thought the things that you said were going to happen were going to happen, and they didn't happen.

Do I have a leg in my face? Do you see it? Do you see it? Man, fucking waiting three fucking years for this shit to materialize. Three years, Cecil, you can earn a fucking master's degree. Three years, man. You're waiting three fucking years. You're like, any minute now, any minute. Look, edging

is fun, but at some point you gotta pop. This is ridiculous. You could do like three tours in the Peace Corps. Thinking that the arrests were just around the corner, like it was just gonna happen in this next week, we're gonna see people arrested. And it was just going to happen in this, this next week, we're going to see people arrested and it never happened.

It never happened. Right. So I have, you know, as much frustration as anyone does about how long we've been waiting for the arrest to happen. That language. It never happened is suggestive, not of,

but it's going to happen later. Like he's kind of given up on it. It does sound like it does sound like that. That would be amazing. I would love to see one of these guys deconvert on camera. I would love to see one of these guys just, just look in the camera and be like, I'm a, I can't believe I fell for that. Like, why did I fall for that? What was wrong with me? He doesn't go that far, but I think the language is like, okay, I don't think that's going to happen now. It's not right around the corner next week.

I don't think he thinks it's going to happen next week anymore. And like two years ago, you would be like, this guy would be like, yeah, it's going to happen next week. It's going to happen next week. I don't think he thinks it's going to happen next week.

The certainty in their voice, Tom, since we've started this, since Q started to even talk, you know, since that, since there was a moment where people paid attention to Q and we were, that was big enough where you know, since that, since there was a moment where people paid attention to Q and we were, that was big enough where you and I noticed it, right? There has always been a certainty behind everything they've said. And that's, what's made it so ridiculous, right?

Is that there's, it's so outlandish. It's so crazy, especially when you get into the deep stuff, like the frazzle drip and the Huma Abedin cutting fucking faces off the kids. None of it sounds real. The people who are like, yeah, cheese pizza is a fucking kid or whatever. Right. And then things started happening,

but they were happening in the worst way, right? You get this guy who kicks open a door to come at pizza with a gun, opening coolers, looking for kids. Like, I mean, you get a guy with a fucking gun thinks it's real. And you just, you just have these moments that, you know, 700 people or whatever, go down to Dallas to, to find John John. You know, there's all this, They're still there. Yeah, I'm sure they are. The thing is, is like, like,

there's all these moments where you keep looking at the camera and it's like, it's like, for the people who've seen The Office, Jim, once in a while, will just look at the camera. I don't know, like, there's a look he has where he just kind of looks at the camera and he's in on the joke and the audience is in on the joke

and no one else in the scene is in on the joke. And I felt like that for so many years where I just feel like I keep thinking, I'm going to look over and there's going to be a camera. Yes. And I'm going to say, no, this is, we're all crazy. These are crazy people. You guys were kidding the whole time, right? I just feel like that.

Yes. And then once in a while, like once in a while, and I'll draw a parallel to the vaccine. Once in a while, you'll hear a deathbed confession, you know, a deathbed conversion rather of the vaccine. Once in a while, you'll hear about it.

You'll hear the person who says, you know, they'll tell a story about how they were, you know, someone was crying and they were going to die and they knew they were going to die. And they're like, if I just got the vaccine,

I wouldn't be here right now. You'll hear stories like that. You know, you don't know how true they are. It's not like there's many that are actually verifiable. These are sort of friend of a friend stories, but you hear enough of them where you think one of them's got to be true where somebody regretted it. There's got to be a moment where somebody regretted it. And I feel like there's going to be something like that eventually when it comes to Q. There's going to be a moment where one of these big guys, these people who go on all that firefighter profit

or the praying medic, why do they all have to have jobs? I don't know. Anyway, the firefighter profit or the praying medic, they're going to go on a thing and then they're going to say, yeah, I fucked up. That's my fault.

I should not believe that shit. I sincerely and deeply believed that shit I sincerely and deeply hope that that happens that one of these like higher profile knuckle draggers finally fucking

figures it out see so I had this I've had the same experience that's there to Jim look at the camera do you remember the movie The Truman Show it's a fucking old movie

at this point I remember watching The Truman Show and being sad because i was like fuck everything would make more sense if that was the truth yeah and like there's you're right right so many times in my life that i'm like i've got to be on a set somewhere there's no way there's no way yeah that like conservatives are moving to Paraguay to get away from 5G chemtrails. There's no way.

There's no way. There is no way the president is talking to a pillow guy. There's no way that's real. Seriously, Cecil, so many times in my life, I've been like, there's got to be. Four seasons total landscaping. Really? Four seasons total landscaping. Cecil, I will tell you this.

This is the closest you'll ever hear me come to this level of nonsense and woo. In my bedroom, I have a light. I have a light fixture from Ikea. And that light fixture is like a single round orb that the light comes from. And from that orb are a bunch of clear plastic sort of posts. They look like spikes. It looks very much like a model of the coronavirus. And I have looked up at that a thousand times in the last two years and thought, I'm dreaming the whole thing.

You're dreaming the whole thing. I'm dreaming this whole thing because frazzle drip, that's a fever dream. That's what that is. Because it doesn't even sound real. It's all too stupid. Adrenochromes and frazzle drips. I'm just, I'm looking, I'm staring.

I got hit in the head and I'm still staring at my fucking light fixture, Cecil. And this whole last two years has been nothing but a weird dream, man. I'm going to wake up and I'm going to have saved a princess from a castle or whatever. Do you remember? Do you remember the movie Weird Science? Yes. Where they take, they were trying to create something

and they accidentally create, I don't know, I don't know the woman's name. What was the woman's name? I don't know. Whatever. Yeah, she's a real pretty lady. They put a thing on a magazine

and she shows up there. Right. The jumper cables touch a magazine and they make a woman or whatever. I thought you needed a rib for that. And that's the story. Maybe they did have a rib. You don't know.

That's true. But in any case, I just feel like what happened in, you know, somewhere around 2015, somebody actually accidentally put those cables on like the meme page on Reddit. Yes, yes. And it just turned it all real. It made it a real boy. And you just stop and you look at it and you think, man, somebody was kidding about a meme

and you guys thought it was real. You thought that was real. See, so we turned it into money. Like that's like, like I literally, I can't live in a world more, more absurd. Like our money is now like, what if a joke was money? And you're like, I don't know. I don't know anymore. However, um, Q did warn us on the front end of the conversation that a lot of what

he was going to put out was going to be disinformation. Yeah, very true. He's so eager. So eager to have it. He's very eager to have it be something that would still make his worldview not shatter. Information, disinformation designed to make the bad guys make wrong moves. And his giant plot here, Tom, was to just not do anything for three years. So, did the bad guys, did I miss

the part where the bad guys made bad moves? Did I miss that part? You must have. Because your secret strategy is to juke them with this disinformation. Sure. You can do a spin move. Right. But what I see is strategy is to like juke them with this disinformation sure yeah you can like spin move right but but what what i see is nothing happened like you literally like it was a hundred

percent disinformation where was the information literally nothing there's no there's because there's literally if you're making two columns hits and misses it's really all misses. It's all misses, man. But even if I grant you a handful of these minor fucking collisions and call them hits, there's still nothing here. The thrust, the main thing that they're all waiting

for is the pedophile ring to get taken down. You can't, if that's disinformation, there's literally nothing else, right? So it's like, it'd be like if I was making a secret airplane, Cecil, and I put out a bunch of disinformation

about the technical specifications of that secret airplane. And you're like, oh, it has invisibility and it has radar shaped like ducks or fucking whatever. And then at the end of it,

I didn't build an airplane at all the disinformation didn't like secure you from discovering my airplane it did nothing build an airplane just wait you just it did nothing yeah so you had to get real with that if you're going to buy on to the to the q thing you to know up front, half of what Q's going to tell you is not going to be true. It's for the purpose of psychological operations, and that's just how it is. Thanks, man. That's helpful.

It's a total psyop, bro. Oh, man. He's not in on the psyop. Can I just... I just want to point out this story that I saw while I was. Mike Lindell plans to airdrop pillows to Canadian truckers

by helicopter after being turned away at the border. Click on that story, Cecil. Oh, come on, man. Cecil, we are doing it live. How is that real? Mike Lindell

plans to airdrop pillows to Canadian truckers by helicopter after being turned away at the border. That was February 17th. That's today. That's today. That's today.

My pillow maven told the Daily Beast late Wednesday night that he intends to drop his pillows into Canada from a helicopter with little parachutes.

This is adorable. Hold on though. They're pillows. They're not going to hurt if they hit the ground. Like what's the big deal? Somebody's going to get clubbed by a pillow. I hope they're not gonna hurt if they hit the ground like what's the big deal I somebody's gonna get clubbed by a pillow

I I hope they're those like heavy buckwheat pillows cause they just like flack flack I hope one comes down

and like lands in a trucker's soot pipe or whatever and just starts on fire it's just gonna randomly rain comfort down on on the

like just so amazing the Daily Beast noted on the people that's so amazing the Daily Beast noted in the report that the little pillows would have little parachutes adding make sure

you put that part in or it could be dangerous I don't think that you can just drop shit at people either so now I feel Truman show it now I feel like

the Truman show now I also how are it. Now I feel like the Truman Show. Now I also, how are you going to just take a helicopter into another country and fly around and throw pillows at people? Thank you.

I don't think you could just airdrop shit into urban areas. This reminds me of the WKRP's at Cincinnati Turkey Day where they were throwing real turkeys out of the Day where they were throwing real turkeys

out of the helicopter and they were burning people with real live turkeys because they thought they'd fly. They didn't know they didn't fly. So they just throw a bunch of turkeys to their death. That's what this reminds me of.

This is so great. This is great too. Real quick. When asked where he intends to drop the pillows, Lindell replied that he can't divulge that information, but he has the helicopter confirmed. We have the helicopter confirmed, but we are moving the time up to 11 a.m.

And it says Lindell's unvaccinated crew was stopped from entering Canada this Tuesday because, you know, unvaccinated. That's great. Cool. Great. Oh's great. Cool. Great. Oh my God. Glad we live in this fucking reality.

I, you know, these like truckers have like these huge giant bonfires and shit. They're just going to like drop pillows into fires and drop pillows out of people's cars. They're like looking at, they're looking at the tag. They're like, can we burn this? Is that how we,

how can we use this? Because they have that like tag on it. That's like, as long as your arm that tells you all the fucking precautions with your pillow. Don't eat it. Don't burn it. Don't fuck it. All those things.

Don't tell me what I can do with my freedom pillow. Motherfucker. Fucking shit. It'd be great if he was just flying around with a bunch of pillows and his iPhone and just hitting the airdrop button and just, it's not working. It's not working. Does it have to connect? Do I have to be in line of sight? How does this work?

Okay, that's it. Switch around. Let me see. Allison, right. Over here on the phallus. And your name is? Cheerleader one. Cheerleader number one.

Oh, we got to talk about the Super Bowl because every time there's a Super Bowl, the fucking, the right goes crazy about the halftime show. Did you watch a halftime show or no? No, I didn't see it. Probably not. I heard about it though.

Yeah, so this time it was, it was a lot of rappers from the 90s. So it was early 2000s rappers. Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent was there. Kendrick Lamar. Mary J. Blige I see. Mary J. Blige was there.

They had Snoop. I gotta say, I'm a guy, I like hip hop. I enjoy hip hop. And so for me, it was a lot of fun to watch. And I like, I knew all the songs. And so it was a lot of fun and they had a lot of energy. Amazing, at the end of his song, Eminem kneeled. And that's a big deal in the NFL.

Like he did it on purpose to like, you know, do the kneel where he like went down on one knee and the internet went crazy and what's what's so funny is I saw a bunch of people say you know

you could tell how pissed off they are and how the NFL didn't want him to kneel they told him not to and he still did it and then they were like

there's a bunch of people who are talking about it afterwards and they said it wasn't about it was never ever ever about the anthem

because he didn't kneel during the anthem he kneeled at the end of his own fucking song and it was never about the anthem because he didn't kneel during the anthem he kneeled at the end of his own fucking song and it was never about the anthem it was always about it was always about just showing don't you disrespect us

that's all it was boy you know what I mean that's what it was all about it was always there shall be no solidarity you shall not show solidarity yep that's all it was that's all it was but That's all it was. And so, but everybody's losing their mind. There's all kinds of people losing their mind. The costumes that they used, you know, they weren't anything really risque. I mean,

Janet Jackson had her tit out with a fucking pasty on. Right. I've seen, you know, more risque stuff happen in these Super Bowl things than this. You know, the Shakira one had fucking, yeah, that had fucking, not a coach having a conniption when Shakira was out there.

Also, like, does the football not have cheerleaders? Yeah, they have cheerleaders. Aren't cheerleaders fairly scantily clad?

Yeah, and they wear bloomers and they do like acrobatics and shit. So you could, like, you could see up their skirts all the time because they're kicking their legs up over their fucking head. And they're like midriff for bear and shit, like, and they do like acrobatics and shit. So you could like, you could see up their skirts all the time because they're kicking their legs up over their fucking head.

And they're like midriff for bear and shit. Yeah. And then they also have skirts that you could see their bloomers when they kick up. So you could see, you know, they're wearing small little shorts. It's not like they're wearing fucking granny panties under there. Like they're small little shorts. And that's perfectly wholesome.

If you watch football, that's perfectly wholesome. What's not wholesome, right, is the halftime that's perfectly wholesome. If you watch football, that's perfectly wholesome. What's not wholesome, right, is the halftime show is never wholesome as long as any of the music or any of the art

connects to the black community. Yeah, yeah. Anytime the music or art connects to the black community, which it frequently does because much of music has roots in black, in the black community,

then all of a sudden, fucking white Christian America who only wants fucking kid rock and country music, they lose their fucking mind. And this Nick Adams guy, this MAGA author, he's like some fucking MAGA idiot. I don't even care. I got to read two tweets because they're my two favorite things I read this entire week. So Nick Adams says, Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, and Lee Greenwood would put on a better halftime show than these hoodlums.

I would fucking kill myself if I had to watch that. I would fucking just end it. There's no reason to ever watch anything either of these produced, but if you had to watch all three? Oh. Put my head in a trash compactor.

Yep. I would rather just lose my hearing forever. I would rather immediately lose my hearing. I'll give it up. I'll peace out of hearing forever. I'll learn ASL. I do not care. I quit. I would rather listen to that fucking Ram Rock or Ram Cowboy song we listen to. I'd rather listen to that a thousand times over, Cecil, than anything Kid Rock has ever done. This tweet is the greatest tweet in all of tweeting. Kid Rock makes music for people who smoke cigarettes in the house.

It's so true, man. It's so fucking true. That's everything. That's a fucking mic drop. The people who are saying like, I'm so disgusted. I'm so disgusted with this halftime show. I'm so disgusted.

And then they're, you know, they're a little kid. You know, they're going to talk about how their little kid, Oh, it's my, I have this impressional kid.

I saw something from like, what was his name? Charlie Kirk, the guy with the shrinking face. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That guy's name is that guy.

That guy, he said, he said something about, you know, Oh, it's not wholesome anymore it's all crazy and disrespectful

sexual anarchy sexual anarchy you know like you can't show a kid a person dancing which again it was not really risque at all

there was a couple of girls that had a little cheeky thing going on but it was really short they were only there for a minute Mary J. Blige was in an outfit that like only showed like part of her thigh. I'm just like, I don't understand where any of you people are.

They were black thighs. Well, and so, but you know, you're going to complain and what you're going to do if you're on that side is you're going to blame it on your kid. You're going to say,

well, I don't want my kid to see something like that. But you know what? Two plays earlier, a guy fucking hit another guy, hit his fucking vertebrae. It shot out of his mouth like a fucking pest dispenser. And you're just like, no, that's fine. No, that's good.

That's fine. Oh yeah, his head, his leg went all the way around the back of him and it kicked him in his own head. And that's fine. That's fine. You could see people getting fucking lifted, airlifted off the field. And that's totally cool.

But the moment you see a black thigh, oh, that's the end of it. That's a, God, that's a horror. That's an absolute horror. And it's the same thing. It reminds me of that MPAA shit. Where they have like,

like the, they have a, a system that weight, it's weighted on violence. And it's, and it's completely strict when it comes to anything sexual. Yep. It's ridiculous. You can watch 60 minutes of the traumatic brain injury game. Yep.

Exactly. Yeah. Totally fine. Yeah. We are, we are not, you know, as a, as a society, we are, to your point, we are completely or becoming immune to greater and greater degrees of violence. And the thing is like, violence is never consensual. That's like, I mean, football isn't really violent, right? It's impact, but it's not violent. But violence by definition is not consensual, but sex and sexuality at least can be consensual and is a part of normal human expression and like affection. And it's built into our society. There's nothing actually, we've only, like, kind of internalized this idea of dirtiness and sexuality, like, because of all these, like, weird religious fucking hang-ups that we have.

Yeah, it's all about religious hang-ups, man. And, like, again, like, there is an age of appropriateness to just about everything you expose kids to, right? But we're fucking real comfortable with an intense amount of violence and real uncomfortable with thighs or like a butt. And we're liars about that too, because you know what? If there are white thighs on that cheerleader, it's fucking fine. And it's in every game and it's not a big deal when it's a Super Bowl or a pregame show or whatever. We're real fucking racist about it. We're real fucking hypocritical about it. And none of it, none of it is ever true. Oh, two women of color a couple of years ago was it, I think it was Shakira and

J-Lo. Yeah. Horrible, right? They were, people were shitty. All these Christians went crazy. But I'll tell you what, you get a, you get a young white girl out there singing something country and wearing a short skirt and there's nobody cares. Oh, nothing more wholesome than that, Cecil. They wouldn't care. They wouldn't give a shit. Nothing more wholesome than that.

They wouldn't give a fuck. Yep. And that's your problem is that it's fucking racist. Any person of color gets out there and they're immediately fucking flipping their shit. Yeah. And I like this one last tweet because I think it's really telling too. Eminem has 15 Grammys. Kendrick Lamar has 13 Grammys. Mary J. Blige has nine awards, 31 nominations. Dr. Dre has seven Grammys.

Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Lee Greenwood all together have one. Yeah. Yeah. And there's another tweet in there where they're talking about Kid Rock was on the stage. He just happened to share the stage with two black people back in the day. But it doesn't count. It doesn't count. It doesn't count because it wasn't an all white crew. Because P. Diddy was out there. Right. When P. Diddy's out there, it doesn't count.

Right. Fuck. They lose their mind every year. Every year. Every year. Every year. And the worst part was is I'm watching this happen, right? I'm sitting at home watching the Super Bowl.

I'm enjoying the Super Bowl. And I recognize, I know what's going to happen on Monday is they're going to talk. Most of the time they talk about it being satanic. And I didn't see a ton of that this year. I didn't either. I was surprised.

What I saw was just racist. Like it just turned racist instead. And if I offended you, I am going to remind you in advance that I'm very sorry and I apologize for the inconvenience of me not giving up. This story is from LGBTQ Nation. Christians argue First Amendment doesn't protect Satanic Temple as they try to cancel it. So there was SatanCon, Cecil, in Arizona this weekend. And of course, there were protests at SatanCon.

Guess which one was violent? The protests. Well, wait. We're going to wait for you. Okay, you caught up. Okay, there you go. Big shock. My favorite is Lucian Greaves' Twitter down near the bottom.

Concerned citizen calls for bocott of and it's b-o-c-c-o-t-t is what they spelled so they misspelled boycott and then the best part is is that the next one the next tweet is somebody had she had fixed her sign but she wrote b and o so close together that boycott now has just she did draw the y in there but it's just so close together that her boycott now has just two. She did draw the Y in there, but it's just so close you can't even tell. It looks like what she did was she drew angry eyebrows over her O

and her C. It looks hilarious. You have to go to this photo. She like gets called out for having a misspelled sign and then she literally can't fix it because she fucked up so bad when she spelled it. She doesn't have enough room

to actually fix it. It's amazing. Oh my God. It's so delicious. It's so delicious. A bo-cott. A bo-cott. We got a bo-cott hotel.

That's amazing. Good, good, good, good. I love it because Charlie Kirk, he gets all upset and he's like, okay, it's not protected because it's not real religion. Also, we can't have Satanists. Then why are you worried about them if they're not a real religion?

If you don't think that it's a real religion, then you're just like, eh, whatever. You can't have it both ways. I love it. I love it so much. The Protestants and Catholics got into it. So there were protesters protesting SatanCon and there was literally a conflict that the police had to be called for, not because of any of the Satanists who the hotel workers described as wholesome, but because the Protestants and Catholics couldn't get along protesting the Satanists.

That's amazing. It's so great. It's so great, dude. It's so good. And I love these guys. They just go out there and tune them up. They just walk out there and tune them up. And then the best part is every single one of these dim-witted religious people

just vomit something out their face hole and they look like an idiot. Yep. And you just think this is the exact reason. This is the exact reason why the satanic temple should exist and what they're doing is righteous. It's awesome. Yep. One day we'll get Lucian Greaves on. I'd love to talk to him. We tried that one time. I don't know if you remember. I know. It didn't work. Didn't work out. Didn't work. I'd love to talk to him. I would love to have a conversation with the guy. Dan, what is your deal? If anybody doesn't know, Dan is the worst.

I took a vow to not say who was the worst, but it's Dan. You guys are making me look bad in front of God. What's that? Oh, look, it's Jesus. And he said, stop it. The word of the Lord. This story, this story is life. This story is from CNN. A pastor baptized people for decades using one wrong word. Now those are all considered invalid. You guys, let me explain to you what this guy did. Because this is how tenuous the magic spell is.

In fact, all of this, at first I thought this Cecil, I thought, well, they kind of make some exception. But this is crazy. So this father, Andres Arango, performed thousands of baptisms. And in those baptisms, he would say, we baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. But he should have said, I baptize you, not we. So by saying we-

He's saying Christ baptize you or something. He said, the issue with using we is that it is not the community that baptizes a person, rather it is Christ and him alone who presides over all the sacraments. So, all right, here's the problem. Now in the Catholic Church, none of those baptisms happened. Right. But the sacraments, I guess, stack together like they rely on one another.

So then it's not just their baptism. Other sacraments. You're not confirmed. You're not confirmed. You didn't get all the other stuff that they have's not just their baptism other sacraments you're not confirmed you're not confirmed you didn't get all the other stuff that they have to do and yeah and like so they're legitimately telling these people they can't like say oh that was just a wording choice error but instead they really believe cecil that the magic spell didn't work. And now all the other magic spells didn't work. Well, what's insane to me is that somebody would even mention this, that somehow someone wouldn't just quietly take the father on the side and

say, Hey man, next time you do that, just say, I don't do any more. Just say, I, you know,

cause like, it's like messing up your, your spiel as a telemarketer. Yeah. Maybe you didn't say it exactly, but the people you were talking to kind of got the gist and they still told you to put them on the no-call list. It's not like anything changed.

You're still on the no-call list, so it doesn't matter. But it's one of those things where you think that the damage control here in your brain is, let's do this on the side. Let's just forget this. Let's forget anything ever happened. Nobody cares. But instead they call it out and then they just say it's all invalidated. I don't know if you remember, but years ago when, when, when I first got married, now I got married almost 20, at this point, it's going to be 22 this year, 22 years ago,

I got married in a Catholic church. And when I got married, uh, I wasn't religious, but my wife was at the time. My wife is no longer religious, but she was at the time. And so we both, we decided to get married in a Catholic church. When we got, after we got married, one of the major things, one of the major reasons why she left the church is she was told by a priest, if you're not going to have kids, you should just get your marriage annulled because you should just fucking shit out kids. And she was like, I'm not going to do that. Fuck off. And actually this, this is bullshit, right? You're trying to out kids. And she was like, I'm not going to do that. Fuck off. And actually this is bullshit, right? You're trying to control me. And you're also saying that the sacrament

that I went through, it's not worthy to you because I'm not going to do the things you want me to. You're not going to force me to do these things. The Catholic church loves to alienate people. They just love to do it. They do it all the time. They love to do it. And then they put out papers

and then they put out fucking news articles where they say, what's wrong with all these kids these days? What's wrong with all the nuns and the duns? If you told me that this happened to me and I had to go back and redo all kinds of weird shit, which sucks anyway, right? Nobody wants to do that anyway.

They just go there. They're going to fucking church because they have to, asshole. Not because they fucking want to. Most people anyway. And so they're going to go to church and they're just going to sit there and be like, oh man, now I'm not,

I'm not, I'm not an actual Catholic. Well, maybe I never was a Catholic. Maybe all of it's bullshit. And I'll tell you what, anybody who is fucking misdiagnosed by your fucking baptism or whatever, come on over to agnosticism, come on over to atheism

because there's nobody here who's going to judge you because you said the fucking wrong word one time. I could not believe the implication here. And I'm constantly startled, Cecil, by this reality because there's part of me that really thinks that none of them actually believe this. Yeah. That it's just something like, like, believe, believe. Like, deeply believe that there is a magic spell and that if you don't say it right, it didn't work.

But what they're actually saying is, without the magic spell being said right, with one word, the magic spell means none of the magic took. Because otherwise, Cecil, your solution is the solution. Oh, hey, man, you're just doing that a little wrong. Oh, okay, I'll stop doing it wrong. That's how it would work in the real world where you're not really believing that

the magic happened yeah yeah you're mispronouncing the latin in your Harry Potter spell right yeah you got fucking expelliarmus right out of the fucking church sorry Tom it's expelliarmus thank you very much you can no longer

be a priest to Harry Potter gotta turn in your scarf I gotta turn in I gotta turn in my broom I gotta sweep up before I go and your scarf and your weird little Jewish goblin

my anti-semitic goblins your anti-semitic goblin you gotta turn him in too I'm not saying that Nadja is hysterical but she blames everything on witches. The witches have been toying with our rugs again.

Please get some witch-proof carpet tape and tape that rug down. Witches! See, so can we talk about this Greg Locke story real quick? Yeah, for sure. I love it. It's from religionnews.com. Tennessee preacher Greg Locke says, demons told him names of witches

in his church. Should I play it? Yeah, play it, play it, play it. So now I want to mention this is edited by, this was edited by Hemant Mehta. So this is what part of the entire article is actually about, is Greg Locke is saying that since it's edited, it's not the actual thing. And Hemant is claiming, I just edited it for

content. I just edited it for time, not content, because I can only post so much on Twitter. So those are the two opposing sides. I tend to agree with Hemant. Yeah, right. Even though I didn't see the whole thing in its entirety. We got first and last names of six witches that are in our church. And you know what's strange? Three of you are in this room right now. What?

He just did a little dance. Three of you in the room right now. You better look in my eyeballs. We ain't afraid of you in the room right now. You better look in my eyeballs. We ain't afraid of you, you stinking witch. You devil worshiping Satanist witch. We cast you out in the name of Jesus Christ. We break your spells.

We break your curse. We got your first name. We got your last name. We even got an address for one of you. You so much as cough wrong and I'll expose you in front of everybody in this tent. You stinking witch.

You were sent to this church to destroy us. You were sent to this church to lure us in. You were sent to this church to cast spells. Listen, some of you been sick because you befriended that witch. Two of you in my wife's latest Bible study and you know who you are and we're going to ask you to get out or I'll expose you in front of everybody.

We got all six of their names. All six of them. Two of them had already been confirmed before that thing ever even said it. First and last night. This chick is new to our church and don't know none of you. So you got a choice. You can leave with your spells

all by yourself. Or I'll show up next Sunday with a stage full of brooms. And I'll give you one and I'll fly your tail up out of this place in the name of Jesus. But we ain't playing your spell casting witchcraft, nonsense, sage burning games. Everybody okay? Witches are like, nope. And your little dog too. You're out, witch.

I feel Truman showy right now. I'm sorry, Tom. I just feel very Truman Showy right now. I just... I'm glad that that resonated with you, Cecil, because it is how I feel all the time. This guy also... Here's where he got the names of the witches, guys. In his imagination, first of all. But second, in his story, the story he is telling is that demons that he was casting out of somebody told him the names of witches.

And my first thought was, but aren't demons liars in your world? I love that he's like going to believe him. That's amazing. Like, demons are your source For this Fucking there's no demons That's nonsense there's no witches You're an idiot

But like if they're Even if all of your crazy insane World were true I don't know man Maybe you don't listen to the demons isn't that your thing also do you really think that he has a name no he doesn't what he's got is some he said it's a it's all performative yeah well see so i actually do i when he said like there's two in my wife's knitting circle or fucking whatever i thought yeah he's got a fucking beef with two ladies

he probably it's either that or he has no name at all. Right. Because it's so easy just to say, I know there's somebody in here. I know you're a turncoat. You know, I mean, you look at the whole room and you just say that. And then what it does for you

is it makes you look like you're the omnipotent one. Of course. It makes you look like you have all the answers and you are the one who's telling them, I know there's somebody in this room. I know 100%. Somebody's in this room and I know you're against me

and I'm going to call you out. I'll call you out next time if you show up. And there's going to be somebody who doesn't show up next time. People who don't show up because they've got COVID. Yeah, because they all got sick. That's the thing.

You have a church where you don't vaccinate or mask, you weirdo. This whole thing is so fucking bizarre to me because I I also thought if I believed in witches like really actually believed in witches. Why would I be like you should leave on your own next time. Don't come back here. Like why wouldn't I fucking immediately call that shit out. And like well it'd be like, if I was like, if I knew there was a murderer,

Cecil, in my house, and I was like, next dinner party, the murderers better not show up. They can't come. Right. But I'm not going to do anything about it today.

Either I have Agatha Christie and a murderer, or I don't have anybody. Those are the two options. What? And then my other thought, Cecil, was like, there's just six ladies he's fucking and doesn't want to get caught that could be right it could be that too if you're

almost certainly if you're this guy i see this guy and i think no right well yeah that's fair that's fair you know not only is he doing it i think for the theatrical effect of convincing people that he's all powerful and understands and you can't get anything past him i also feel Not only is he doing it, I think, for the theatrical effect of convincing people that he's all powerful and understands and you can't get anything past him. I also feel like he's doing it for the bravado that it shows him as an ass kicker. Yes.

Right? He's doing it because he wants to talk about, yeah, well, I was in a supermarket and this guy didn't get out of the way and I said, excuse me, and he moved. That's the story. Like, that's the whole story. These guys always have stories

of the time they were just about a. Yeah. These guys are always just about a. Just about a. Man. That's a perfect way to put it. That's a perfect way to put it. Fuck these just about as.

stream this week because Tom and I weren't in the same place and both of us were both exhausted from long days on the road. Snowstorm. Because people don't know how to drive here. So we decided to skip the stream this week, but every week we take the stream and any audio that comes from that stream, we give it to patrons as a podcast. So if you have the RSS feed from

Patreon, your podcast player will say, hey, there's something new. And it normally pops in on Thursday or Friday, and it's the stream from the previous night. And so Tom and I's stream will be there very often. Ian's part of that stream. And so you get a chance to listen to those. It's essentially a podcast, an extra podcast you get every week. That's almost an hour long. Sometimes it's up to an hour. It can be even longer, but most of the time we start to wrap it up around 45 minutes or so, but it's still a nice long bit of extra audio that you get in your podcast player every week. All right.

So let's go through a little bit of email here. We got a bunch of messages, Tom. We did. Tommy, about some things that you need to talk about. So Tommy or Tom, people don't like that you didn't like Tommy. I know. I made a joke last week about Tommy Tuberville. Tommy Tuberville, Tuberville. Tuberville. Tommy Tuberville. Tuberville.

And I went off on the name Tommy. People like Tommy Potato Town, by the way. They like that better. Tommy Potato Town. I think that's his name. I think just like Michelle O'Bachman, I think it's a thing. I think it's Tommy Potato Town.

Tommy Potato Town. That's it. That's it. And I got to say, you guys came at me, and you're right. I should not. If you want to call yourself Tommy, call yourself Tommy.

That's all right. Go ahead with it. Whatever name fits you, you go to town. You go to town. And just don't call yourself Potato Town. Go to town. Any town. Any town but Potato Town. You got to go to a different town. Spud's Town is even open. Potato Town you can't go to. Wherever.

Speaking of Potato Town Jesus fucking Christ Tom we got a message from George it is a horror show and he sent us these fucking images of a baby I think it's a baby maybe it's supposed to be a football player

I don't know somebody fucking made a fucking meatloaf and they put little pearl onions for eyes and it's made out of ground beef with bacon underwear. Then they bake the fucking thing. And it looks like a goddamn horror. It looks kind of like a fucking cremated teddy bear.

It looks like a scab. It looks horrifying. It's really a nightmare. It's horrifying. It's really a nightmare. They call it the meat baby. We're going to put pictures on this week's show notes. George, you should be ashamed of yourself for sending that to us.

It's a horror. It's an absolute horror. We got a message. This is from David. And David says, hey, just letting you know, I've been a listener for 10 years and was a patron for a few of those. And he's like, I bowed up. I bowed out when I was saving for a house and stuff,

but I'm back. And we want to thank you, David. David's back. For coming back. Thank you for sticking with us for so long as a podcast. We really do appreciate everyone who listens. And we appreciate everybody who's a patron. So's back. We're coming back. Thank you for sticking with us for so long as a podcast. We really do appreciate everyone who listens and we appreciate everybody who's a patron. So thank you. Thank you so much

for joining us back on Patreon, David. Cecil, as we've come into, you know, 617 episodes, we've been doing this for so long. I am always blown away by those people who have said like, I've been listening to you guys since day one. I've been listening to you guys for 10 plus years.

And I think that's just such an incredible amount of time to have some of the same fans and the same listeners. Yeah. For you guys that are stuck around with us for that long, genuinely, thank you. I think it's fucking amazing to have people that we've hung out with in some way and been a part of your lives for 10 plus years every week. I think that's just a cool thing to let us do.

You spent over 617 hours with us by a lot. Could be by a lot, right? It could be almost 900 hours that you spent with us. We got a message. I'm not going to say this is from, but they had mentioned that their father had died of COVID and we read this message and we just want to reach out and say we're really sorry that

we read this message and it's really heartbreaking that your dad passed away and died of COVID. It is. And we read this whole email is heartbreaking to read and I'm very sorry you lost your father this week. That's so difficult.

It's very sad. I'm so sorry. You know, we got a bunch of messages about Newegg. A couple people told us, yeah, man, you got to save the box. A couple, let me just refresh. If you missed the stream, a show computer that I had built for the show,

the video card crapped out after like 45 days and I paid a lot of money for this video card. And so I, because video cards are insanely expensive right now, I'm giving you guys a super short version. If you want the longer version, you can watch the stream from a couple of weeks ago. Essentially what I did was I contacted Newegg who I bought the thing from, and I complained about it. I said, Hey man, you know, you sold me a bunk part. And they said, we'll send it back in. Well, I didn't send it in, in the exact box that I got it in. And they sold me, they could not do an RMA because I didn't send the box in. I had the part, I had everything that they needed,

but the box is what they wanted because they wanted to resell the fucking thing, even though it's broken. And I was like, I don't have the box. And they said, well, great. We're going to send it back to you in the fucking mail. And so I essentially wasted 15 days sending a fucking piece of plastic across the country for no goddamn reason. And they could have just told me that they couldn't replace it if I didn't have the box, but there's nothing there. Got a ton of messages this week

about different YouTube channels that are dealing with Newegg. A couple of people sent us other stuff. A couple of people told me I'm stupid and I should keep the box. So I will remember it in the future. I just didn't know this time that you needed it for a graphics card. But what are you going to do?

We're going to try to contact the companies what we're going to do and hopefully we don't have to pay a fucking king's ransom for a new one. We got a message from Neve and Neve sent up an image. She was talking about the human remains story. Now this was a while ago. We did this human remains story where these guys were like dowsing rods and whatnot over these graves she sent an image to them and it looks like a work light it looks like they were waving a work light over the fucking graves

it's just a shitty old work lamp that's it just fuck it the thing is cecil it doesn't matter what you wave over a grave it It doesn't change anything. How does that change? Like, is it processed with like spirit dust in it? Like, how does it even work? Ghosts hate halogen. They make the halogen lamp move. That's amazing.

Get the fuck out of here. That's amazing. So we got a message. This is from Phil. And Phil says, I have a question about psychedelic substances he heard me one time talking about taking LSD and he

said I'm not sure if both of you had experience with it or other substances similar to that what are your thoughts on those who claim to have spiritual connections with the universe or God or whatever you would call it it seems like very popular and he says right now there's a lot of scientific

backing for mental health. So people are right now going into take some of these psychedelics and they're seeing if it can work for some types of things like depression or other types of things. Addiction is another thing I've heard that they're using psychedelics for. I got to say, like, you know, when it comes to the spirituality stuff, I mean, all that spirituality stuff has to do with how your brain is wired and the chemicals that are being released in your brain. And I think it's pretty easy to see

the people who are in those churches that go through these spiritual experiences, they are having an endorphin rush, some sort of chemical releases going on when they're, you know, riding on the ground and they're dancing and they're picking up snakes, whatever. So, you know, it doesn't matter

whether you're popping something to induce that or it's the crowd that's doing it to you. There's always something that's changing the chemicals of your brain to make you feel better and make you feel different. And so, you know, whether it is or not, there's no, there is no spirit. I'm telling you right now, it's not spiritual, it's just chemical. I think there's two questions in here and they're both interesting, but the,

the first one is the experience is very real. Like I'm not, you know, so, but an experience can be real without necessarily equating to something outside of your own head, right? It doesn't have to be paranormal or something. Right. And I've never had LSD, but I've taken Molly. And my experience with Molly is that coming down off of Molly feels exactly the same way that falling in love with someone feels. It felt exactly the same way it felt to fall in love with my wife. And it was a very real feeling.

And it's a very real feeling and it's a very real experience and it's powerful, but it's something that happens inside our brains when things happen to us. So I think it's entirely possible to have wonderful experiences that you can imbue with meaning if you so choose, or if the circumstances and context are right around a psychedelic drugs, There's nothing wrong with that. Go ahead with it. Enjoy it. If you get something from it and you learn and grow as a person, then how is that bad? As far as whether or not it's good for medical stuff or not, you figure that out the same way we figure out all other medical questions. We do rigorous scientific study, and then we determine whether or not it's efficacious for use. There

seems to be a lot of interesting and positive preliminary study on a number of different drugs. One thing I think we have a social stigma against are drugs that we enjoy that may also be beneficial. We want our drugs to be neutral at best and often to have some bad side effects right yeah so i think that there is a social stigma to the idea that something could help and also be pleasant i also think too tom that there is a group of people out there that take a drug and want to tell you that it can fix everything. Yeah. A hundred percent, See cannabis. They want to tell you, cannabis is fucking the chiropractic of,

of the drug world. People think it cures fucking everything. Everything. They think it, I mean, literally any problem you have, they think you can smoke a fucking bowl and you can fix literally everything. I'm not saying,

cause I don't know any of the studies that had, don't say, please don't send them to me. Cause I'm not saying, because I don't know any of the studies that had, don't say, please don't send them to me because I don't care. I genuinely don't care. I'm just saying like, I know for sure it doesn't fix all the things that people claim it fixes. And I don't even know if it has any medical benefits at all, but I'm just saying like it genuine, there's no way it is a fucking wonder drug that fixes everything. No way. Yeah, there are no panaceas, right? But so, but it's, it's a TH, or pot is a great example.

If, if pot is pleasant, there are some people that will discount any possibility of pot having any medical use, right? Because it's pleasant. And then there are also people who are like, because it's pleasant, it must have any medical use, right? Because it's pleasant. And then there are also people who are like, because it's pleasant, it must have every medical use. And the truth is that if we're determining whether or not something has a medical use, that's a distinct question and it needs to be separated from its experience. And when we mix those things together, we cloud both issues and we can't do that. We really should not do that.

We let our feelings dictate how we feel about that drug before we figure out the data about how we feel about that drug. What we should know about that drug. Right. Tom, we think, fingers crossed, next week we will have a link to the book.

Now, we still have to look at the final proof this weekend, but we expect on the show next week, we should be able to announce that the book is released. We're hoping that that's the case. It is not currently out yet, but one more week, we should be able to have a brand new book in your hands.

One that Tom and I are both very proud that we wrote. Very much so. Tom is currently reading that book. It's also my hope that by the time our show hits in two weeks, not this upcoming Monday, the following week, the audio book is also done. And so we'd have two things by that Monday when the show finally does release that there would also, there would be a place to buy the paperback and there will be a place to get the audio book. That's a great hope. I don't know if that's true. It's, it's ambitious. There's a lot of work in there, but we are pretty sure for, we are pretty sure next Thursday, we should have a link to you

for you to buy the book next Thursday. Um, but then the audio book again, that's, we're not sure, but we're going to try, we're going to try, but we're super excited. We're so excited about this book and we're so excited that you're going to get it in your hands. We're so excited you're going to read it. So keep listening to us next week. Tune back in next week. We are definitely going to at least have some announcement about it. So come join us on the stream too. Next week on the stream, we'll be there 9 p.m. Central Time. That's on Twitch, on Facebook, and on YouTube. That is going to wrap it up for this week. We're going to leave you like we always do with the Skeptic's Creed. Credulity is not a virtue.
