QAA Podcast - The White House is Q Posting (E379)

Episode Date: July 2, 2026

The White House’s official twitter account went fishing this past week using “Q posting” as bait. They snagged a wild Travis View hook, line, and sinker. While posting about President Trump’s ...executive orders related to quantum technology, the social media team for the White House and the Pentagon seized the moment to post “Q is for quantum” memes, copy Q drop aesthetics, and parody QAnon slogans. We discuss this new era of government communications, in which trolling and QAnon fan service are used to amplify cybersecurity policy for speculative tech. Once they get a good picture with Travis and throw him back, he moves onto the reemerging conspiracy that Charlie Kirk’s wireless microphone was rigged with explosives and the bizarre evidence some claim proves this theory. Then Liv and Julian discuss the world cup and what offsides means while Jake and Travis listen intently. Finally, Jake brought us a little dessert to top off the episode in the form of a “large animal chonker and their pilled to the gills parent”. Bon appetite.

Starting point is 00:00:02 Well done. You found a way to connect to the internet. Welcome to the QAA podcast, episode 379. The White House is Q posting. As always, we are your host, Jake Rakatansky. Julian Fields. Lev Akar. In Travis View. Well, the White House laid out some bait and we're taking it because what else we're
Starting point is 00:00:55 going to do? We're a Q-on podcast. We don't have an option. I mean, I do feel like you have to bring back Q News when the White House goes on a semi-sarcastic, joky troll of just full-on embracing QAnon without even trying to hide. All the slogans getting wheeled out as if they had some guy back there, like listening to our podcast to make sure he got it all right. You can't have the White House post, a fake Q post and us not cover it. Come on.
Starting point is 00:01:25 I know. I know. Bate or nightmare that we are forced to cover. It's really always between those two. I've been working as a double agent. I've been being paid very well behind the scenes to help the White House figure out how to get this right. And I can't believe what you were saying, Jake. You're so right. It's the Austin Steinbart queue.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Yes, yes. Which is the most insulting part of it all to have that little twerps like quantum bullshit come back. Most insulting. Absolutely. If I were a QAnon believer, I would be so insulted by this. I rarely find myself in their corner. But really, I mean, gosh, could you be more insulted, especially those of you who, who have done prison time years in prison on account of this,
Starting point is 00:02:05 on account of this whole thing. Yours in prison because you were fingered by Travis Vue in the Red Scare era of anti-QAnonon. Travis pointed his finger at you and you were sent to jail. You paid so much and now the White House is looking at you and going, hey, piggy-pigy, open your mouth. We know you like this slop. Could you imagine beaming this, like these tweets abstractly back to a QAnon supporter in like 2018? they'd lose their fucking minds.
Starting point is 00:02:32 But at this point, I feel like it can't feel great. Even if you have to cover for it and you have to say, hey, whoa, wow, how interesting. Wow, it makes you think, we can tell it's a troll, but that just means it's one of us, one of the pepes. You know, you still must feel kind of bad inside because you're being condescended to. Yes, yes, absolutely. It's weird. You know, when I predicted that QAnon would come back because it was too good of a marketing tool not to use, I never thought that it would be this blatant and by the White House.
Starting point is 00:03:01 That like somehow Q&N believers could get what they want, like the official White House account basically. Yes. Confirming like everything that they've ever believed for the past eight year, however long it's been. But like it's even more meaningless somehow. And like it's even, it's even more devastating.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Like there's no, there's no W here in a world of W and L's. You know what this is. It reminds me of the fucking millennial who was allowed to like take over the Stakem's account. Like it is like mid like 2010 slop like 2008 slop. Yeah, they definitely like it's a millennial occupied government right now. It really is. All the awful White House posting where they've been like, you know, rubbing, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:47 immigration deportations in people's faces. It's been like all the memes they've been posting. People are saying it's like a zoomer on the account. I don't believe that. I think it's a millennial who. wants to be a Zoomer. Yeah, I tend to agree. Or at the very least, it's a Zoomer doing their very best millennial impression. I think this is a millennia. I think this is somebody who's watched like a lot of American Dad. Like a very, like a very classic like mid-grade animation
Starting point is 00:04:15 enjoyer adult, right-wing, meamer. American Dad, you mean Liv's ex-boyfriend? Huh? I don't know anything about my co-workers' personal life. Oh, wait, I'm confusing with American Daddy, right? All right, all right. Everybody's having a good time. We all feel so weird that we have to even talk about this. Yeah, this is a bit like we are forced to put on diaper and poop our pants in public. That is what this episode is.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Can you really blame, like, a fish for taking the, but you don't blame when they take it. That's what a fish does. That's what the Qaeda on podcast does. Because it takes to bait when I mentioned Q it on. And also, like, a gracious fisherman never insults the fish once they pull it out of the water. Yeah. So today, yeah, we're going to talk about that and also about the Charlie Kirk exploding microphone, the assassination theory. Also talk about some World Cup theories.
Starting point is 00:05:16 And then, Jake, you have for us some dessert about a dog on the internet. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I got something for you. All right. Yeah. Oh, I can't wait for the dessert of, like, the dog-o. accounts get pilled, which is also...
Starting point is 00:05:29 The last of us. It's the last of us. Yeah, it's so beautiful to see. I love an account like that that's like, you know, it was a joke question. It's 11 out of 10, as usual. Good dogo. We love it. And then suddenly, hmm, I wonder about the Qasarian mafia and the Calergie plan. Yeah, you haven't even scrolled down and you're not wrong. That's amazing. I can write this reality myself. Of course, of course. You guys know what happens. You know how it's. ends. Incredible. So Travis, you have like, you're the one who's truly, unfortunately, having to put your mouth over the hook. Yeah. Like, if we are a fish, like you are the mouth currently and you're having to go and screen cap White House account posts about Q.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Awful. Yeah. First of all, I want to point out that this is significant, not because Trump is amplifying Q&N. Trump has been amplifying Q&N for many years, many times. And it's again, sort of not been commented on. He's done it on truth social a ton. But this is significant because these are the actual, like, government-like White House accounts, kind of getting in on the fun. So it all started on June 22nd
Starting point is 00:06:39 when the White House Twitter account posted this. The White House will be Q posting today. And then there was this long blank space that you had to scroll down to see the bottom of, and then after that blank space, it says this. And by Q, we mean quantum. Stay tuned eyes emoji. So already, there's like, we're having some fun.
Starting point is 00:07:02 We're going to be cue posting. It's like, at, but not Q and on something else, but you're still going to cover it, aren't you? Aren't you, you little fucking piggyies? This is what bothers me. It's like the absolute seething contempt that this, that this poster has, that, for people like me. They think I'm a fucking dog shit on his shoe,
Starting point is 00:07:20 and he likes playing with people like me. Yeah, it's true. This is you and the Sauter. trap. Yeah. Yeah. But he, I mean, he is getting a little bit of a reaction. I where, yeah, I mean, this is, yeah, this is why he did it. This is a real, real check and mate kind of move. What else am I supposed to do? Totally ignore it. That's what I wanted to do. I realize not really an option. Not this time. It is interesting how that dynamic has developed from like, you know, warning people like, oh, this new, this new congressional candidate, Marjor Taylor Green. It's, she's pretty bad. We should talk about this. To now talking about QAnon is like, well, if I mention it, I'm owned. Yeah. Yeah. If I mention what the White House is currently posting. I'm owned. I am owned.
Starting point is 00:08:02 That's just how much shit is in there. Just how much we are just like drowning in sludge right now. So how they framed it is that this Q posting was promotion for two executive orders that Trump signed that are related to quantum technology. So here's another post from the White House. Q is for quantum winking emoji under President Trump's leadership. Quantum is making a massive leap and America is at the forefront of these innovations and groundbreaking technologies.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Which, by the way, are so speculative. The quantum computing stuff is amazing. It's a really good scam that somehow has even less to show for it than AI. I love this. This is like in 12 years, we might have something, boys, and it's going to be able to do multiple operations all at once because we have it suspended in a quantum state.
Starting point is 00:08:53 And the technology is, it's not clear that it's even possible what they're doing, but they are all public companies, all traded heavily. Of course. All having high volatility. What's new? We are making markets, folks. Stop saying that our economy is fake. Stop saying that we're in suspended animation. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I'm developing a unique piece of technology that will allow me to tell which slot machines will hit the jackpot. Yeah, quantum technology is like a tech, is like a part of the tech tree and like an expanded paradox. Heart Survivor 4 mod for the future. It's like, yeah, we'll probably get that eventually. Sure. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is in civilization, actually. Yeah, that's the kind of thing I look at in like an RPG, like that, like that far out on the tech tree. And I go, I'm never going to get here.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I'm never going to see what this power does. Because you never finish games. Yeah. Yeah, it's not that unusual for governments to signal that they're trying to like get ahead of speculative technology. like JFK saying that we're going to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. You know, kind of an insane thing to say. But like just as a projection of power as a superpower, is something you're supposed to do. So the first of these two executive orders focuses on maintaining U.S. technological superiority
Starting point is 00:10:09 and what they called quantum information science and technology. And the second directive aims to protect federal IT systems from quantum cybersecurity threats. This is the other big issue that these quantum computers are. so powerful that they can like, you know, hack everything and then we'll make cybersecurity a thing of the past. Everything will just be exposed forever. Even though like everybody currently in power uses hotmail with the password like one, two, three, ABC. It's like the idea that we need quantum computing to hack currently into the mess is a joke. It's amazing. Another made up fear that you can quantify in dollars per share. It's truly beautiful. So it's actually like pretty
Starting point is 00:10:51 mundane. I think it was something that might be signed regardless who was president. And Trump has actually signed 43 executive orders so far in 2026. They're usually pretty dull and don't get any press coverage. But they decide to switch things up now instead and do this sort of like Q posting thing in order to generate the kind of attention that I'm giving them right down. Yeah. And also, I mean, this, I have to check and I will and I'll get back to you later in the episode. But I'm almost certain quantum stocks went up as a result of this. So it might just be another fun little market manipulation. Oh, another insider trading kind of pump and dump thing.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Gotcha. The Twitter account for the official Department of War, chief technology officer got in on the fun, posting an image of Trump in front of a giant queue in this text. Are you enjoying the show? Refill your popcorn. You'll love this next part. Popcorn emoji.
Starting point is 00:11:47 American Q in parentheses. quantum dominance. And the photo of Trump is like from that meme, you know, where it usually says, are you enjoying the show, affiliate popcorn? They've photoshopped a queue into the background. Yeah. And they've even used the parentheses around the queue, like in the actual queue drops. They're mirroring the language.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Okay, I take it back. The market has actually continued to go down for these quantum stocks. So if it was an attempt at market manipulation, it did not work. Nevertheless, the White House reposted it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's another, like, just multiple overt sort of like Q&ONN references. And they all got really riled up the Q&O followers underneath them. Like they posted QDrops and stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:33 And it's like, yeah, and it's like the same thing over and over again. It's like Q&O followers sort of interpret, you know, tweets as being secret signals to them anyway. So the figure is like, why not just do it a little bit more overtly? I leaned over and showed these tweets to my wife to be like, oh my God, look at what they're doing. And she looked at it and she goes, oh, my God, wow. And then like went back to her shit. Like that's how fucked we are. It's like, wow.
Starting point is 00:12:57 It's like, oh, wow. Like, oh, they're actually doing the Q post now. Yeah, I'm sorry. But if you had told us when we started this podcast that the White House was going to be putting together, using a graphic designer to put together a fake Q post in the style of the Chan posts, I mean, no matter how we got here. it is still a foreign country. It's unfair what they're doing to us. I don't know how much more I can take. Of course, there was also this tweet
Starting point is 00:13:25 from the Department of War CTO. Where we go one, we go quantum, American flag emoji. So again, this is just overt reference to, you know, Q&on's slogan. Though, you're right, Julian, in terms of pure audacity, I think this all paled in comparison to this White House post,
Starting point is 00:13:44 which included in the image that was mocked up to resemble a screenshot of a Q drop from a popular Q post aggregator site. Like, it is really deep stuff. Oh, yeah, they're in the weeds. They are. Yeah, no, no. No, no. Whoever, that's what I was saying. Like, whoever's done this, like, could easily have, like, listened to a couple episodes or something.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Yeah. You know, just to get some primers. Might have hit a couple articles where Travis's interview. The funniest option is that it's a guy who did genuinely believe in Q at some point. Who knows who they're hiring? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:14 I mean, the funniest answer is it is Austin Steinbart and he is currently working for the Department of Justice. I was going to say, Julia, that's so funny, dude, because I was literally going to say it could. I was like, it could be a guy who like actually believes that they are cute. Like, it could be some psychopath who sat, you know, in like the Trump's social media office, like, typing away for so long. He's having some kind of mental episode and he actually does believe he's like, I'm going to make you real and I'm going to post it from the White House. For those who don't know, Austin Steinbart is a Prescott, Arizona-based influencer who went by BabyQ and also basically had a cult. And they were very obsessed with quantum and, you know, all this stuff. And he was supposed to be a time traveler.
Starting point is 00:15:01 And some people had him pegged his cue. You know, it was a whole, like, subsection of QAnon lore. And that's who's going to get most radicalized by these most recent QAnon poets. Austin Steinbart, by the way, may I remind you, also got in trouble because, do you remember? He had a fake penis that he used to pass a drug test. Yeah, he used the whizzenator. The whizinator, yeah. Good times.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Yeah, this country used to be something. This podcast is starting to like feel more classic. Like it's starting to feel kind of like the old days and that's bad. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like you think we shouldn't be slipping back that way. I know the first time I pointed out on Twitter that Trump himself was amplifying Q&N content. I checked recently.
Starting point is 00:15:48 It was on August 1st, 2018. Nearly eight years ago. You think I would still be here eight years later, say it's still happening. But worse, now the White House is doing it. Now the Pentagon is doing it. I'm a different man than I was eight years ago. Does it make you want to get like a pilot's license? No.
Starting point is 00:16:09 No, not really. Okay, interesting. I just thought I'd ask. I do wonder if a part of the reason why it's no longer as shocking is because like the damage of Q is now like already diffused into society. Yes, exactly. It's not going to do anything more that like the damage is already done. Yeah, they basically, they literally undid the crimes of everybody. And they all got themselves put back in jail for doing like fondling children.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Yeah. And, and nothing so nothing happened. There's no justice. And now they're like openly laughing. our faces. So yeah. Yeah, what is there to say? Yeah, it's shooting someone a 15th time. It's like, it's hard. I mean, I would have preferred you didn't do that, obviously. But I mean, it's like, it reminds me of like, yeah, it's like it used to be an embarrassment. I remember during the first Trump administration, there was a question from the White House press pool about QAnon and
Starting point is 00:17:00 the press secretary, Huckabee, kind of deflected. And like, for example, Marjorie Taylor Green, when she actually ran for Congress, she apparently, it seems like she got some sort of consultant that told her, okay, no more of this QAnon stuff. And she totally, when she actually ran, she stopped posting about entirely. It was something you ran away from. But now it's like, you know, it's like, oh, there's just no consequences. It doesn't matter. Then it's like, okay, let's straight up Q post.
Starting point is 00:17:21 This moment kind of reminds me of like a Q&on equivalent of like InfoWars and Knowledge Fight where like InfoWRs is officially taken offline. Although like we got like the opposite end of it where instead of like Alex Jones being ruined and no longer being able to publish. It's like if like Alex Jones was like the biggest celebrity. It became boring to cover it just because it's like literally everyone watches Alex Jones. Yeah. It's like the opposite reality negative.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Or we want to move on just because it's like, well, yeah, everyone, this is just everyone always sees this all the time. I have to say, for a podcast that originally had queued on in his name, I'm so glad we didn't put our exit all in one basket because that basket is so rotten. Yeah. I've also been getting into the exploding microphone theory of Charlie Kirk's assassination. Have you guys heard this one? No. I am not familiar. This is a classic.
Starting point is 00:18:10 I may have mentioned this in passing on mine like a couple, like a week after. But clearly it is ballooned out. It has exploded out, shall we say. It started gaining more traction inexplicably on some of the conspiracies, right? So this is the theory that Charlie Kirk was not killed by Tyler Robinson, the man who has been charged with his aggravated murder. Rather, Kirk was killed because of the Road Wireless Pro Microphone that was attached to Kirk's shirt, according to people who believe this, it was rigged with an explosive device and was deliberately set off as part of a more covert assassination. By whom? Well, you know, they dance around this,
Starting point is 00:18:47 but they usually imply that it's an Israeli assassination. Yeah, a bit like the Pagers. Yes, similar to what they did with the Pagers, yes. Interesting. I'm in. I'm in. I'm on. Yeah, sure. Why not? Oh, come on. I heard a kind of a better theory online that was that he had been wearing a bulletproof vest. and the bullet ricocheted off the vest or a fragment of the bullet ricocheted off the vest into his neck. And that's, and that's what happened. Interesting. Which is also just kind of like the same result. It's like, yeah, it's like kind of the same result.
Starting point is 00:19:18 It's just still like, I don't really want to kind of believe like what the, you know, what sort of the agreed upon reality. I'm going to offer something that kind of has the same outcome, but like from, but a little differently. The only thing different between that and the official narrative is that the bullet struck like a foot away from what is commonly believed. Right. It's like video games where it doesn't matter
Starting point is 00:19:39 what choice you make. The ending is always the same. His death was like some kind of quick time event. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was pre-rendered. Pre-rendered like video. But it was on like easy difficulties
Starting point is 00:19:49 so like kind of no matter what you pressed. It's terrible. This is awful. Feel bad. Press A to, you know. You got the quick time event where Tyler Robinson is like writing down like etchings on the bullets
Starting point is 00:20:02 and you're just like pressing all the wrong buttons. And he's running on. Like, I'm gay, L-O-L. Yeah, I guess the essence of it, of conspiratorial thing, obviously, is that you want to, like, be in on something and other people don't know about. And, like, yeah, like, what Jake was talking about, it's like, it's the exact same, but, like, I know something that you don't. Yeah, extra safe. I think that's what it is, Liv. It's exactly what they said, but I actually know it a little bit more than you do.
Starting point is 00:20:33 I'll be honest, I like the conspiracists who, like, have what they, you know, sort of stigmatized, esoteric knowledge and are smug about it, because they're also the types that have, like, esoteric, stigmatized knowledge and are resentful about it. They're just resentful that no one agrees with them, resentful that they're made fun of. Those guys are much less fun. I just have one question about that, Travis. Yeah. Are you including or not including gang violence? One might think that this sort of, like, theory that Kirk was not killed by a bullet was, like, being promoted by maybe liberals or leftists who want to absolve Robinson.
Starting point is 00:21:07 But it actually got started because of an Oklahoma-based farmer and engineer named John Bray. And his political leaning seemed to be more of the Ron Paul variety, sort of a fiscally conservative, anti-war libertarian. And, you know, there's like people who talk about, you know, the federal deficit spending a lot. There are maybe like five or six guys like that left in the country, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, all those guys have just become fascist now.
Starting point is 00:21:31 They're like, well, what am I kidding? Yeah. Yeah, most of them, it's like, oh, whatever. I don't give a shit about deficit spending. I like, I like Trump. A bit like how libertarianism seems to have completely evaporated. Yeah. Yeah, really has.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Very strange, as they do all the stuff that they, like, warned us like Obama would do or whatever. Yeah. Obama looking pretty good right now. Nope. I don't know, all the Obama Center videos coming out of him, like, telling stories about whooping? I don't know. Divorced Obama would win in like states that we haven't discovered yet. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:22:07 They were fields. They would live. He would win 52, 53, and 54. If the end of Jake's rope is him becoming a rad lib, that would be so funny. You know, I don't think that's out of the cards for me. I feel like I could easily fall victim to that sort of belief system. I think you'd be good at Dark Woke. What's that?
Starting point is 00:22:28 I don't even know what that is. Well, I mean, I would probably just say live. please explain this. Dark Quoke, it's like the people who are like on the left liberal part of the culture war, but they're like, they're offensive. And but they have those like offensive jokes or attacks on the right. So it's like saying that Elon Musk is gay and that being gay is. But he does it as bad and he's gay.
Starting point is 00:22:49 And he's also in a dress and he has sex with the president. Yeah. And it's kind of like calling. It's like doing a Julian style death threat, but you're like a rad lib and it's based on that way of thinking. Yeah. It's like you like the Democrats, but you're doing, you're being like, we need to lock up. We need to do Q&9 style, like, show trials for the Republicans.
Starting point is 00:23:09 John Bray started posting this Charlie Kirk exploding microphone theory just like a week after Kirk was killed in September of 2025. And he's been building on it ever since. Bray now has a website dedicated specifically to laying out this theory and has been picked up by Candace Owens just a few weeks ago, bringing it to a larger audience. I want to know what the formatting of the website looks like. Is this like Web 2.0?
Starting point is 00:23:32 No, it's interesting. It's like a Squarespace. It seems to be some sort of Squarespace kind of thing. It's like it reminds me a little bit of like with a much better design, the old TimeCube website. Because it's just one long page. And a lot of it is kind of difficult to unpack and like kind of incoherent. But because he uses modern web design tools, actually looks kind of nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:54 That's a shame. Yeah, that the TimeCube guy didn't have Squarespace. Yeah. Because it's hard to read that website. It's just like it's just black text in a way background, right? You must mean cube space? No, I think it's interesting because it's a real kind of old school conspiracy theories. Some of what they call conspiracy theories nowadays are just like bare assertions of some kind of like plot or some kind of absurd claim.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Like real conspiracy theories, they have piles of elaborate confusing evidence that don't actually add up to what they're claiming. So the evidence marshaled in favor of this theory includes like video motion and audio timing and like microphoneed hardware, very difficult. technical stuff. Like he talks about explosive chemistry and wound behavior and textile behavior, SUV debris, and of course what he considers to be missing evidence. Now, interestingly, Bray says that he believes that there was a bullet fired at the same time that Charlie was killed, but he thinks that is not what killed Charlie. So who fucking cares?
Starting point is 00:24:52 What the heck? It's like it happened like it happened except for one thing. They really wanted to kill it. They really wanted to kill him. Yeah, they made sure there were a couple of different wetwork teams there. In a recent interview on the firearms podcast, Brace says that he has seen evidence of what he calls a supersonic event at the time of Charlie Kirk's death, but that was part of an elaborate cover-up of what really killed him. Based on the audio that you've seen, do you agree that there was a supersonic event that happened? Absolutely, yeah. Supersonic event that originated from an elevated position and swept.
Starting point is 00:25:31 over the crowd and you know within three meters of the tent it passed so in between charlie and the two cameras on the right side you i can say with certainty that that that that bullet passed through there now what would you say to the people that say why would they need all of that if they're just going to take them out why would they need the gunshot what what purpose does it serve well because if you just detonate device on charlie then everyone knows uh the lone wolf stories out of the question like Tyler Robinson is going to craft a high order explosive in his bedroom, sneak in the TPS, USA, swap the microphone, and then somehow be able to trigger it, you know, through connecting to it, unbeknownst the A.B. team.
Starting point is 00:26:12 So, you know, if they were going to use that, the target opportunity, that was the microphone, they needed something that was more benign and could be explained as a lone kind of a rogue actor that, you know, had a beef with Charlie for one reason or another that took course of action. And the easiest thing to explain that is a rifle shot. That's honestly more well thought than I would have imagined to me. Other than like he calls it TPS USA. Yeah, I'm going to need your TPS USA report on my desk.
Starting point is 00:26:44 But yeah, no, this is incredible. His hat says faith, which you need to believe his theory. Yeah. It's good. And the guy who's hosting him, I mean, like, how does a guy like this get on a podcast like that? It's just how do these people, I'd love to see the chain of emails that led to this show, this, this collaboration. Well, yeah, because a lot of his theory deals with, like, ballistic analysis and that got a lot of the firearm community involved in sort of, like, discussing it. And so this firearms podcaster was like, all right, like, my audience is into it.
Starting point is 00:27:15 So let's bring them on. Let's talk it out. I guess that makes sense that there would be a lot of Charlie Kirk fans amongst the listeners to firearms podcasts. Oh, yeah. It's a very, it's an incredibly chud area. Same with like Far Arms YouTube stuff Because you have like a section of it
Starting point is 00:27:30 That's like far left You know socialists RIA stuff But then most of it is like A guys who are like thinking About killing gay people Isn't like the fun of it though Like seeing videos of the guns And like all the pieces
Starting point is 00:27:40 And like seeing it shoot and stuff Like how is a gun podcast exciting? That's a good point Yeah no gun YouTube If you're in a gun podcast You're really in the weeds I think Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:51 Because what are they saying They're just like telling stories From the range I don't know Yeah that's all they say And they say mine went bang bang The other guy who says, wow, I heard a boom
Starting point is 00:28:00 when I squeezed my trigger. And then when I got my aim just right, I heard a tiny ting ting. That's right. I also do love the fluent, like, chud speak for like a bit of a shamer of like a supersonic event from an elevated position.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Tactically eliminated. That's me. That's me late night on headset and like a call of duty. There was a ballistic complication in the AO. All those ballistic analysis, like, Because there's like so much like left wing conspiracy theories about this too because just everyone believes in Q&N now. Or it's like if any event is like politically uncomfortable, it's like, well, it must be there must be a conspiracy.
Starting point is 00:28:36 It must be like Israel is actually doing it. Because like, you know, morally speaking, they wouldn't, they wouldn't be opposed to killing Charlie Kirk. It's like that's not how you understand the world. That's not how you deal with empirical information. It's like, well, is it impossible that my bitch ex-wife was the one who got me sick? She came into my bedroom at night and was coughing on me. It's like, yeah, no, she's pretty mean. but it's not empirically particularly likely.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Mm-hmm. X-wife's really taking strays here. So, yeah, sorry. Sorry. Now, what kind of explosive was in the microphone, according to Bray? Bray suspects it was this highly powerful explosive used by a law of militaries called P-E-T-N. But when asked if it could have been C-4, he says it might be VAT too. Got it, okay. I've never really gotten too caught up knowing exactly what the charge was,
Starting point is 00:29:25 the whole thing that attracted the idea of the PETN is that it's very clean. It doesn't leave much residue to be seen for like the eyewitnesses around it. And we had prior, prior use of it and a kind of a hidden electronic device that was in the use for a while before it's detonated. So it's pretty stable. But C4 has pretty much all those same characteristics. It's really just a cousin. So it's not that much different. If you look at, like, photos of Kirk right before you got killed, like, the microphone is, like, just a really tiny clip-on microphone.
Starting point is 00:30:00 It's, like, it's very small. I don't, I don't, I guess I am not a bomb logistics guy. Yeah, spoken like someone who doesn't know the power of Israeli miniaturization. Yeah, constructing, like, a functional, like, remote detonation device out of one of those really tiny clip-on microphones. I don't know, maybe it's possible. Nano-charges. Bray's theory relies very heavily on a bewilder. Wildering audio and visual forensic analysis.
Starting point is 00:30:27 So the conventional theory is that Charlie Kirk died after being struck at the neck. But Bray suggests that what really killed him was this explosion destroying Kirk's chest cavity. And further, he claims that there's audio evidence of this. Okay. Did anyone else see, like, the video, like on the day he got killed on, like, Twitter? Like, it's just pouring out of his neck. Yeah, it's very clear. And it's very clean.
Starting point is 00:30:51 And it's on the opposite side of his body that his microphone. on. It was on the left side and the microphone is clipped to the right. So I'm curious. I'm, skeptical of the theory so far. She's ready for a scrap. Bray claims that there is an audio signature of thoracic response. So he says that microphones near Kirk captured what he calls a low frequency event that was around 58 hertz, which he interprets as the sound of the chest cavity responding after penetration. Okay. Okay. So just to summarize, you're saying that the force was great enough and powerful enough. It would pierce through his body cavity.
Starting point is 00:31:28 It would cause cavitation that would destroy internal organs and that kind of stuff all the way up to possibly his brainstem, which might explain the posture. And then you're also saying that it was audible in the microphones. Yeah, all the microphones. There's not a microphone that was close to him that didn't pick it up. Even the Canon microphone from the UVU picked it up. That's how audible it was because it's a very specific band. It's mean averages 58 hertz. So it's pretty, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Yeah. And so it's the frequency is one thing, but the timing of the frequency. And how long it lasts, that really gives you a really good idea that it had to have something to do with it. Caesar Milan, chest whisperer. Yeah. These guys are fucking ghouls. They must have watched this video like 800 times and like slow motion to be like, well, got to make sure all the theories are right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:18 This doesn't translate well to an audiopause. I didn't include it. But, like, he does, like, real, like, hyper-Zuprooter film kind of, like, analysis where he takes, like, every single frame from every single angle and tries to explain why this proves his theory. Mm-hmm. Oh, well, some people just have a lot of time on their hands. I feel like I smoked weed with that guy in, like, 2011. Yeah. Yeah, different paths.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Must have been a real revolving doors moment. I think you mean sliding doors. Yep. So he's, like, he's saying, like, like, so these odd, he claims that there's a lot. he claims that there's audio recording that picked up this 58 hertz resonance. And from this, he concludes, okay, that only makes sense if what is resonating in this audio is Charlie Kirk's chest cavity because it's been hit with this small explosive device. And so I was like, oh, what the hell are you talking about? How do you know?
Starting point is 00:33:08 Is there any, like, evidence? Do people do any, like, actual research on how much a chest cavity resonates when it's been struck very hard? And it turns out that they have. So I looked around. I found a 2018 paper published in the scientific journal of sensors, and it says this. Resonance refers to the natural frequency at which a structure will continue to vibrate when excited by an impulsive force. For the chest, this characteristic depends on the size of the thorax. For men, the resonant frequency of the chest is around 125 hertz.
Starting point is 00:33:37 For women, it is slightly higher at 150 to 175 hertz, and still higher for children at 300 to 400 hertz. Okay, so he's just dead wrong. Yeah. Maybe if Charlie Kirk was a real barrel-chested man, then maybe. But no. Yeah, dead wrong. All that work. Ted wrong.
Starting point is 00:33:55 While the residence was absorbed by the gums. Bray's theory of motive is, I think, actually kind of sweet for a conspiracy theory. It reminds me of something that maybe Alex Jones might have proposed in the 90s back when he was still doing his like, oh, like both sides are terrible kind of thing before he decided like you would go all in on Trump. So Bray suggests that this assassination was a... designed to create more domestic conflict and help build support for the war in Iran. So, you know, we look at the reactions afterwards and the narrative that was parroted by all the mainstream, the violent leftists killed Charlie. They killed Charlie.
Starting point is 00:34:34 That's why they did it in a public venue. It wasn't for the leftists. They didn't care. It was for the right-leading people. So they would get caught up in the, you know, there's a war of, you know, there's a war of, of left or right and you know you have to get behind anything the right's behind because the left is the enemy so accept this iran war because the left are against it it just sets up the narrative to allow them to do whatever they want kind of like bush years after 9-11 you're we're kind of
Starting point is 00:35:03 coming back again to like more woke conspiracy theories because for a long time conspiracies were like a right-wing thing i feel like they like held that hegemonically for like not especially long it's like it's It's true. It's time for like left liberal like Bush style conspiracies. Because that was like with the attempted assassination attempt, the most recent one against Trump, read to the ballroom. Like both sides of the political spectrum overwhelmingly like the normie response I saw was like, yeah, right. He just wanted to do that to get his ballroom. There's like people calling it to Fox News to say that. So we're just back. We're back to. There's been a strange restructuring now. We're competitive again. Yeah. I think the latest round of like heavy.
Starting point is 00:35:45 pressure from Democrats, especially mainstream Democrats, like your average senator, governor, sort of like a news aggregator person on Twitter, basically pushing Epstein stuff so hard, like, because it was identified that that was really bad for, that it looked really bad for Trump. And those accounts, I think their prime objective is to, if something makes Trump look really bad, you know, to blast that far and wide. And I feel like introducing that into the water just kind of like opened it up because ever since then I just feel like it's kind of a free-for-all. I mean, really since the assassination attempts, that that really feels when things started to spiral out of control. But I mean, like Julian said, I mean, you can trace it all the way back
Starting point is 00:36:27 to the Mueller investigation and Russia Gate and all of that stuff. So fuck, we're all cooked. Who cares? Yeah, I think for a little while there was just this pretense that the left is actually way less conspiratorial. And I think that that wasn't so much the case as we thought. I do agree with it overall, but I think it's, it minimizes the effect of certain things. Like, yeah, the whole Russiagate period was a real hallucination. The World Cup is on, as we kind of talked about in the most recent premium episode, Julian and I are the main host who are locked into it. It's been very entertaining so far.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Right. My teams are doing well, Canada, Bosnia, Croatia. Let's go. Excellent. And Julian, your teams? My team is France and is doing well. And then otherwise I support basically anybody from the global south, like over any, any colonizer power since I have to redeem myself for supporting France an evil colonial power. Inshallah, you're watching this right now. Bosnia has already defeated the great Satan
Starting point is 00:37:19 in the route of 32. Would it ever give me pleasure to watch Michael Polisic fucking nutmeged into oblivion? But speaking of rooting for countries in the global south, there have been some conspiracies that I'm inspired out of Twitter that I've seen in relation to Iran and how Ron has been doing in the World Club. They unfortunately, because they're another team, of course I've been rooting for. They lost into the group stage. They were unable to get any wins. They did surprisingly well in their group, which included both Belgium and Egypt. And they actually almost won both of those games, if not for, a pesky little rule in soccer called the offside rule. Offside just means that you're passing at the time of the past, the person you're passing to
Starting point is 00:38:01 is beyond the last defender. Or the second last defender. Right. So how can you get like a breakaway then? You have to go on a run that's timed when the ball leaves the, when the ball leaves the foot of your passer. There's quite a few ways to, you know, still score goals, obviously. That's, you know, Jake does not look impressed. He looks real disgusted with this. It is a good rule. I will, I will defend the offside rule. Yeah, I think it's too, it needs to be loosened. It needs to be loosened a little bit. You can't, we can't have any more of these shots where it's like the guy's fat ass that like poked out a little too far. Honestly, I will defend the offside rule. I think if you're going to play that close to the second last defender, then sometimes it's going to happen. Yeah. I think majority of the body
Starting point is 00:38:39 past the last defender would be a better way to it. But I don't disagree. I mean, the truth about the Iran situation is not necessarily found in the VAR conspiracy theories, which I do think are worth investigating. I don't think there's anything like fundamentally flawed about the possibility of that being something that VAR would, you know, just select a still frame at the correct time for it to be, you know, because you can have like a difference of distance that is closing at a speed that's like difficult to see depending on how many frames per second.
Starting point is 00:39:09 images. Anyways, I feel like I should explain my VAR. I should get into that first. Right. Yeah. Video assisted referees, which is basically a bunch of people in a little box watching screens and like looking at the whole match. And they also have a chip in the ball and they have cameras on the sideline to capture images to then show people, yes, it was actually an offside. You know, it's not worth burning down your entire like building complex over this. Because people get pretty passionate. But before we, we jump into VAR and all that, sorry to interrupt just to say, you know, the issue with Iran is really on a macro scale. They forced them back to Tijuana for every single time they had to train, which was not done to other teams. They blocked part of their logistics staff at entry. And they also blocked
Starting point is 00:39:49 all their fans. Like no Iranian person was allowed to essentially come into the United States for the tournament. So there's plenty of reasons why they've been disadvantaged in a horrifying way. They were also bombed during like actual play. So I don't know. There's plenty to be seen here without resulting on what lives about the cover. Yes. Like most, their games were mostly in Los Angeles, or I believe all them were in L.A. and the United States had not allowed them to stay for longer than a day or two.
Starting point is 00:40:17 So they had to go back to their home base in Mexico, which is very taxing, obviously, to just, like, be an enemy territory and then immediately fly out. Then, yeah, not getting some of your logistical support staff. And every single time they had to run them through immigration. So, of course, they were searched up and down every single time and harassed. So, I mean, it is true. So considering all that an incredible performance,
Starting point is 00:40:39 they almost top their group if it weren't for two goals that were offside, just barely offside against Belgium, which is a massive soccer country in Egypt, who I believe was still a favorite. Still is a more favorite team than Iran. But the goal against Egypt that was overturned that would have allowed them to win and pass through the group stage was literally offside by a couple centimeters.
Starting point is 00:40:59 It was very, very close. And the main controversy, I think, with VAR that's fair, is that they have no margin. of error at all. And obviously, if you're capturing the game at 60 frames per second, life has a lot more frames than that. And so you're probably going to miss some off-sides. You're not going to capture it at the exact moment that someone kicks the ball. So there's some margin of error that isn't included in there. Yeah. I think that's really what I'm advocating for is just a slightly looser, like taking into account of margin of error, which is the case in other football tournaments. Like the World Cup is unique in its non-respect for any margin of error. Yes. But of course, this is not something that's directed specifically to a There's some of the misinformation I saw online there. Like, they check offside for every goal if they have a frame. Oh, of course they do. Is it impossible that VAR like picks the frame a little bit and that there's some like,
Starting point is 00:41:46 like margin of human choice in your decisions? I think that's not out of the question. It's just that we don't have any very good evidence of it. And also that like, I mean, presumably they're capturing a frame where he is offside. That's close to kicking. So I'm a truther. I'll stick on the truth of this. Why not?
Starting point is 00:42:03 For fun. It's interesting because like, just this. year in a major league baseball, they introduced what they call ABS automatic balls and strikes, which is the same thing, which like rather than relying on the fallible empire, who sometimes makes a blown call, they checked to see whether a pitch was a ball or a strike baseball, a computer. And, you know, they do it within like within a single centimeter. And I think maybe that kind of like, you know, precision makes sense if you're dealing with a baseball that's like 2.9 inches across. But you're dealing with a whole human body. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:42:35 I feel like you need to allow a little bit more margin of error. It is ironic. Like, VAR, it's an interesting situation because in most sports, people would love for something like VAR, something that precise and that accurate. Like, particularly with baseball, the thing I know about people who watch baseball is they hate umps. The umps are stupid. There's a bunch of them that are incompetent.
Starting point is 00:42:54 They don't get thrown. They don't get fired. Their calls aren't overturned. Like, there's some situations where they're doing so poorly that, like, even they know that they're shooting the bed. Like, all the players are like, come on, man. They're like, yeah, I'm sorry. It's just nothing happens.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Yeah, VAR is an overall, like, positive because there used to be goals that were obviously miscalled. And that that's going to jet. Don't worry. I mean, we're going to fight no matter what is the bottom one. Yes. As soccer fans, we're going to be fighting about this shit. We're going to be yelling at the TV. Now we have this video thing that we can yell at.
Starting point is 00:43:22 It's perfect. It's like, Jake, all of his anger gets sublimated into, like, the cable don't fit. The thing won't charge. The fucking driver won't install. And he'll go nuts on that instead of, like, you know, becoming like a Walmart shooter or whatever. Yeah. Well, and like, I mean, at least you guys. have it better than the football people.
Starting point is 00:43:37 They got like two guys in hats with like light posts with a chain between them. They come out with this thing and they got a fucking like how do you like how is how is how is possibly going to work? It seems more almost like kind of like performative. And maybe that's what soccer needs. Just some kind of little ritual doesn't really. That's where the chain says it is. You know, something fun.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Maybe some kind of animal comes out of a hole. It goes, that's what, whoa, it's off sides. You know, something like that. I totally agree. It's a satanic ritual. You're so right. People are just never happy, particularly in a case where it's like so many people wanted, I think, Iran to do better, particularly given the objective rigging that has been happening in relation to them and the conditions that they've had to play under. And, yeah, having this system be introduced and have it overrule goals in such a tragic way is created a lot of discussion.
Starting point is 00:44:24 I posted this on Twitter and someone replied that like, oh, the Bundesliga had a better rule where they just like, you know, you always rule in favor of the attacker. And it's like kind of based on vibes and it was better. And someone in the replies to that gave an example of a game in the Bundesliga where it was like the most horrific offside you've ever seen and it's counted. That's like, oh, this is clearly much worse than the VIR. I think also the World Cup introduces a lot of casual viewers who don't get to see that. Then they do get to see the Iran goal against Egypt discounted because of literally a couple centimeters of a guy's foot. And then they can complain. But some of this has led to specific conspiracies in relation to VAR.
Starting point is 00:45:00 I've seen it called Hasvara. which is a good one. Israeli assisted referee is another one because it stands for ritual. Here's an example from a Twitter account called Viral Mind Live, who says this.
Starting point is 00:45:13 FIFA either stole the match or manipulated it in favor of Egypt or against Iran. Now I understand why VAR exists to allow FIFA to manipulate match results. Can someone explain this to me?
Starting point is 00:45:26 FIFA is corrupt and its president must be held accountable. There is clear manipulation. It shows a photo or a gif of the kind of the frame where the pass is made to the person who scores the goal. It shows that there's like one defender behind.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Yeah, this means nothing. I'm looking at this picture trying to be like, okay, let's see. What does it mean? And it's counting the last defender because there's a defender behind the one that they were concerned about for the foot. And it's saying like, oh, you missed one of the guys. You completely miss the guys. It wasn't like what Julian was saying of like, oh, maybe the foot is captured in a certain
Starting point is 00:45:59 way. But this is just like not understanding the rule for our side. Because it's the second last defender, which is usually the goalie. But in this case, the two last defenders aren't the goalie at all. I have a lot of compassion for people because it is like it can be complicated and it's hard to even explain. One of my favorite responses to this is a quote tweet with what I assume is like AI generated. I'm not sure. Well, I'm just saying if there are Israelis in the VAR room, they're not wearing IDF uniforms.
Starting point is 00:46:27 I'll put it that way. Yes. It's a user that says all you need to know that VIR is when by. three Zionist Israelis. Which, yeah, I'm going to say they're not wearing that shit if they're actually doing an op. It's a photo of them in their, the, the VAR room with, yes, it's IDF. Hello, I am Israeli. There's a couple other conspiracies related to FIVA specifically around its qualifications.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Because they were third in their group, they could have qualified anyways, but that required a certain specific set of things to happen. They were quite likely, like, given the things that needed to happen in the final day, they were quite likely someone had like 90%, but like literally all of them went wrong. for Iran. The final of which was that the match between Algeria and Austria had to not be a tie, which that was an excruciating match because at the, I believe, 91st minute when it was tied 2-2, the Algerian scored. And then at the 95th or 96th minute, the Austrian scored back to make it 3-3. It was incredibly heartbreaking. There's conspiracy suzer and Lat in relation to match fixing.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Yeah. Well, there's the argument that if you landed the first position in that match, you ended up against Spain, which is a very good team, whereas you would end up against Switzerland if you didn't. So there was a good reason to not win that match for both teams. It is somewhat ambiguous, yeah. Who knows if that means it's fixing? I mean, teams can purposefully lose matches if they want to. That's kind of their right to play that strategically and game the numbers to end up against a better team later. But still, like, there's also a whole layer of insanity on top of that about what people believe.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Yeah. And, you know, the people have pointed to in the middle of the game, both sides of the play, now playing very aggressively, pointed to an argument that seems to have happened. between the Austrian-Algerian benches after the Algerian goal that broke the tie very, very late in the match. But of course, it's hard to say. And obviously, more than likely, the Algerians and the Austrians were more thinking about themselves. You know, again, it's one of those things with like, was Charlie Kirk killed by Israel? Or it's like, I guess it's not impossible that FIFA has intervened in some way to sabotage Iran. One thing about FIFA and the mention of corruptness is something I didn't realize until relatively
Starting point is 00:48:28 recently how explicit FIFA's corruption is. Oh, it's insane. It's very over. Yeah. Directionally correct to call FIFA corrupt and to say Fantino is a crook. It's like, yeah, they picked a very unsympathetic villain. So, you know, it makes people, you know, inclined to believe these conspiracy theories. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Are any of these institutions like above receiving money from Israel and America to make Iran's like life harder and intervene against them in rulings? Like, of course not. But they tried to do everything else. So the Americans are not, you know, they don't have their noses. clean in terms of fair treatment of Iran as a host country. That's a fact. So we have that kind of sitting there. But before we move on, I will say that there is like the extremely bizarre occurrence that Trump was awarded the FIFA Peace Award, which was not really a thing. They just made a little
Starting point is 00:49:20 fun award for him. And then he ended up bombing a country that was at the FIFA World Cup being hosted by the United States. So just you couldn't have a better, like just disgusting mess. Anyways. Oh my God! Yeah, of course. Well, my segment doesn't feel so funny following that, but I guess it's time for... No, it's time for Doggy Day.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Lil Max. As I quickly become the Gian Moose a compliment of this podcast, my segment today deals with a large animal chonker and they're pill to the Gill's parent. That's right, folks. You're not the only one who has lost a family member to preposterous conspiracy theories.
Starting point is 00:50:01 They're trying to pill the pets. They're pilling the pets. They're pilling the pets. They're pilling the pets, especially hamsters. They sit in their little cubes, and they're in there. They're there, and they're there, and they've got wood chips, and they're sitting in there, and they're hiding, and they're getting fat, and they're not playing. They're not very good. They don't want to come out there. Do you guys remember the squirrel that became like a really important part of the 2024 election? Who could forget? Peatuts the squirrel. Wait, wait, wait, what happened? No, I forgot about that. Tell me. It was a story of government overreach because did peanut bite someone?
Starting point is 00:50:36 And then the cops were like, well, we have to kill the squirrel. They killed, they put down poor peanuts. Poor little peanuts. They killed a squirrel? The police did, but this became a conservative thing because it happened in New York. So it's like the woke New Yorkers, they're killing the squirrels. Poor little peanuts. Jake currently has a story loading in his mind.
Starting point is 00:50:53 And I'm here to tell you three times already. They're eating the squirrel. They're eating the squirrels under the yeshiva. All right, that's my one anti-Semitic joke for the day. Enter Lil Max. He's real cute. Imagine a brownish curly poodle with the body type of one of those gigantic rabbits that you have to hold with two arms.
Starting point is 00:51:17 That's what he looks like. He's a flopsie snickerdoodle type good boy who no doubt would have gone viral no matter who his owner was. Now, I was unaware of Lil Max until I was alerted by my wife that people on social media were beginning. to worry that his mother had gotten pilled. I quickly went to her Instagram page, as one thing I'm useful for now is determining the flavor of pilladness one has chosen. The grid looked totally normal,
Starting point is 00:51:43 just a lot of photos of a sweet soup dumpling boy. And I've included a little sampling for the host. You can see this is a type of dog that I would like to have. It's like one of those dogs that kind of has a human face, like human eyes at least. Mm-hmm. Yeah. He's got like an Ewok face.
Starting point is 00:52:00 He's fluffy. He's molded. Yeah, it's here. Beautiful, beautiful, big bulging eyes. Mm-hmm, he's beautiful, he's beautiful. So, there are videos too, and as I scrolled through a couple, I couldn't help but feel a slight unease at hearing the owner's strange monotone narration. You know, as the parent of a little creature myself, a lot of the content was mostly familiar to me, like sharing my night cheese with my pet. What?
Starting point is 00:52:26 Little Max, did you come to share a piece of my midnight cheese? Okay, wait, wait, not the whole piece. You can have a proportional sized piece, Little Max, stop. This is an appropriate size. Okay, no more. This is my bed cheese. I need it during these times, Little Max. You know it's true.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Oh my God, something is deeply wrong. This feels AI generated like spiritually. Yes, spiritually, yes. I feel like more and more things are going to start feeling that way. Yes, yes. But this, you know, this fairly normal dog content stuff. But then they posted a kind of uncharacteristic Insta story. As one Instagram user noted, reposting the story from Lil Max with a text,
Starting point is 00:53:19 Lil Max posted what on their IG? Sort of the same way, right? Never wrote anything. I thought he was a carpenter. And he needed like a little carpenter to, I don't know. I don't get that. But at least his... Suck a Jesus, this award is my...
Starting point is 00:53:33 God, no. Who is bold and on you. There's like, it's Jeffrey Epstein talking about Jesus and some Hollywood stuff and then it says God will not be mocked. Yeah, it's from the interview with Bannon. Yeah. So that post was from June 19th of this year, very recent. And another TikTok user commented, I love this fuck-ass dog, but I think his owner is MAGA or going through religious psychosis.
Starting point is 00:54:08 This fuck-ass dog. We need to stop it with this shit. This is who's running the White House account. Yeah, this is, yes. This is the other side of the culture war type of millennial posting. Okay, so the at-max how dog Instagram account, they first started posting in September of 2025 and didn't really begin posting strange conspiratorial content
Starting point is 00:54:31 until April of this year, with unsurprisingly a selfie video from inside an automobile. I'm surprised you did not catch the millennial spelling of Max Hot Dog. Yeah, A-W-T, howt. Howt dog. This is not clocking to y'all. And there's a lot of people that are like,
Starting point is 00:54:49 I'm not trying to scare you. Well, then you must not care about them very much. I am trying to scare you. I'm trying to scare the crap out of you, honestly. What's not clocking to you is that a lot of the people on this app and on social media are getting enormous amounts of money
Starting point is 00:55:05 they have never got before because they are creating AI versions of themselves that have a work output, that is physically impossible for a human being to match. And when that AI version of themselves is able to get them material wealth in this world they've never had, they are going to have a lot harder of a time letting go of that. And that means they have created an image of a beast. And they are worshipping that image and not the image of God.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Okay. She's doing the even more millennial like pulling the camera close, like doing that zoom. And also, like, is it what's not clocking to you? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Incredible. There's a millennial pause at the start of this as well. It's perfect.
Starting point is 00:55:49 So I dug into the owner's social media presence a little more to see if there was any indication that this might have been coming. And interestingly enough, Lil Max's bio on the official Lil' Max website does offer some clues. Little Max's story begins a starving, filthy, flea, and tick-infested stray, two-to-four-month-old puppy who wandered up to a rural Mississippi woman's doorstep alone. Living in a rural area, this meant that Lil Max was wandering around in the woods alone, and to this day, no one knows how he survived. The woman and her daughter began desperately trying to find out who he may have belonged, to where he came from or any other information about him.
Starting point is 00:56:37 After exhausting their options, the woman's daughter carefully cleaned him and fed him, despite having many other pets at home. Which is crazy. Crazy to imagine. I know that house. I know that house smells crazy. Once he was healthy, the girl in her community came together to try to find him a forever home. After several people volunteered their time, effort and homes for him, Lil Max finally found.
Starting point is 00:57:03 His dad. His dad decided to adopt him immediately after Max gave his leg a highly inappropriate greeting. I'm guessing he either humped it or peed on it. Oh, okay, yeah. Do you think maybe he pooped on his leg? I don't know. I wouldn't pretend to know what comes out of Lil Max. I wouldn't pour that much thought into it. I would just assume hump and move on. A highly inappropriate greeting, which made him laugh after a long day at work.
Starting point is 00:57:30 For the first time in his life, Lil Max had a forever home all to himself. About six months after, Max's dad met a girl. I think this is the woman. I think it's in self-referencing. And fell in love. By the glory of Jesus Christ, our Savior, it was love at first sight. Marriage and pregnancy followed soon after, and Max's new mom left her career to raise her children. Years before starting TikTok in her first pregnancy,
Starting point is 00:57:57 Max's mom started filming videos of Little Max to keep herself, positive. After the birth of her second child, a second route of preclampsia and postpartum depression, Max's mom decided to start posting her videos to TikTok in hopes to make other people smile who may be dealing with similar postpartum struggles and loneliness. To everyone's surprise, Lil Max became an international internet dog celebrity and skyrocketed to fame in 30 days. He has been featured in news publications and broadcasts across the world and has created a network of incredible friends. Across all platforms, Max has over 320,000 friends. That's way more now. Now, Lil Max and his mom work hard to make funny, uplifting, and motivational videos online to help combat the loneliness and depression epidemics which are hurting so many.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Thank you for being our friend. And may Jesus bless you and your family for years to come. Oh, it's kind of like our sign up. I mean, Jesus bless you and keep here. And then she writes, Max's Breed Breakdown. For those who are interested, you guys want to hear this? Oh, of course. It's the blood-dogranes science.
Starting point is 00:59:03 All right, we got 21.2% toy poodle, 20% Shih Tzu, 16.3% Pekingese, 8.3% Docound, 8% miniature pincer, 7.7% Laza Apso. Don't know if I'm pronouncing that right. 4.8% miniature schnauzer, 4.5% Chihuahua, 4.5% rat terrier, and 4.5% Maltese. And freaking 110%. Doggo, Chunko, cute.
Starting point is 00:59:31 On May 26 of this year, Lil Max was featured by online media outlet complex for having the expression of a human being, like Liv mentioned, which led to Lil Max surging in popularity. The owner who has chosen to remain anonymous currently has almost 200,000 followers on Instagram and over 300,000 on TikTok. She continues to post adorable videos of Lil Max to her respective grids, but her stories indicate that she is an end-times evangelical. So here is a post from her, I think this is from her Instagram stories. She says it's a picture of just like, I don't know, a lake, like a lake shore with some ripples. Like you're standing at the edge of the lake and live, can you read the text on that? Lock in with God, twin. We're literally in the last two pages of the Bible.
Starting point is 01:00:19 As far as I know, it's not how the Bible is ordered, right? They don't have revelations at the end. The end of the world is the last two pages. We are in the last two pages, family. Lock in, lock in, glock in. Like, it's not a linear, like, at the start, God creates the world. And at the end of the Bible, it's like, this is the end of it. And then it's over.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Yeah, that is how the Bible is. But then there's, like, also some, like, memes that she shares on her stories that are kind of based. Like this one, Julian, would you mind describing this meme from Max Hout dog 17 hours ago? Yeah, it's like a crew of people kind of celebrating. And it says, right? The U.S. government after fearmonger, everyone with China being a surveillance state just to let their country become one. Word.
Starting point is 01:01:04 I don't see any MAGA-specific or, like, right-wing stuff. She seems to be, like, not particularly, like, there's nothing about Trump or anything like that, but she is, like, definitely Jesus-pilled. More proof of live, yeah. I know exactly this type of conspiracy person where it's, like, a lot of it's the Epstein files made them kind of go crazy. I've seen it in, like, liberal, millennial Vancouverite woman who doesn't believe in God. This is like the believing in God version, I guess.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Yeah. And just to give you an idea, I mean, this has been going on for the last couple of weeks, but here is the latest sampling of today's stories from her TikTok account. Some of the most fascinating Jesus content I've seen recently, honestly, some of the Jesus influencers that she's found, like, I didn't even know that this kind of like end times guy existed. Like end time guys who looks like he could be a barista, like a local like Austin, like roaster.
Starting point is 01:01:55 You know what I mean? There's also some weird, like, crystal mommy vibes, but then a little bit on, like, the kind of methy side where it's like, my bed cheese. Like, I'm all alone with dogs all day. You'll see. You'll see. You're right on the money, dude. Here are nine things that must happen before Jesus returns. Number one, the gospel will be spread to all nations.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Everyone will have heard the good news of Jesus. Number two, a lot of people will stop following Jesus and will stop claiming his name. Number three, persecution of Christians. You will be hated for following Jesus. will be put in a life or death situation. Number four, there will be natural disasters of all kinds, and they will be very severe and very consistent. Number five, two mysterious false prophets will appear and they will sway millions away from Jesus through miraculous signs. Number six, the mark of the beast, the number of Satan. Some people think it'll be symbolic, some people think it's
Starting point is 01:02:43 physical, but it'll be a mark on your forehead or your hand, and you cannot buy or sell anything without it. Number seven, the sun will be darkened completely. Number eight, all seven seals will have been fulfilled. And number nine, there will be a great sign in the sky where Jesus will come down the clouds on a white horse in a blood-dripped robe, a sword out of his mouth, flaming eyes, and an angel army behind him. Okay, I'm sorry to do this to you, Julian, but this is literally the scene where the Ghostbusters are in the mayor's office telling him what's about to happen to the city. Every dog has his red pill. as his red pill. You guys got to understand, like, this isn't from, like, the owner's account. It's from Lil Max's account.
Starting point is 01:03:26 So, like, with all these videos, like the little, like, the little profile picture. It's a little face of the dog just, like, telling you all this stuff. There's nothing behind those eyes. That dog is gone. Here's another one that she shared right after that. Oh, my God. Even Travis is like, oh, my God. Jesus is coming back.
Starting point is 01:03:47 Whether you want to admit it, are not. The signs are everywhere. The writing is on the wall. Everywhere you look, you can see what is pointing to. Jesus is coming. Jesus is coming. The end is here. And people, which I get, want to just put their head in the sand and act like everything is fine. But yet we live in this world where things aren't fine. We are living in this world where we have to go to work. We have to continue to pay our bills, pay our taxes. But the world is literally crumbling and ending. right in front of our eyes and Jesus is at the door. So I made just a little list of things that you can look up on your own to see.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Clearly, we are in the end times. The music. Bling, blank, bling. Yeah. But yeah, this guy is crazy. The little, the music behind it of the, duh, da, da, da. It's these millennial soy like end times cults. Yeah, and who likes fucking those Bristol cards more than millennials?
Starting point is 01:04:48 It's so funny. He's, like, mad about, like, bills and, like, things getting more expensive, too. But while I'm, like, I'm trying to fucking have a family here and just, like, kind of, I don't know, have my own little slice of paradise. This guy's like, well, the taxes are going up and my bills are still coming in. And literally, like, we are waiting for Jesus to come down. Like, how can I possibly think about worldly things, like bills and rent and that sort of shit? It is great that Christians have been saying this literally since there have been Christians. Like this exact thing.
Starting point is 01:05:19 The next video blew me away. I have no idea what this guy is talking about. He says that there's some kind of red heifer that's appeared in Israel. And that this is like some, some symbol that we've, I don't know, hit some kind of milestone. We're in like, I don't know, maybe the last page of the Bible, according to Lil Max's mom. Go ahead and play this clip from her stories today, Travis, please. Here's a red heifer update. If you haven't heard the breaking news,
Starting point is 01:05:47 recently Israel's mouths they have a pure red heifer this is significant first of all they haven't had one in
Starting point is 01:05:54 2000 years this is significant because it will allow them to purify the temple mount build the third temple
Starting point is 01:06:01 and begin sacrifices there again this is significance because the ones they had last year
Starting point is 01:06:07 was born in Texas this one was actually born in Israel which is like the most
Starting point is 01:06:15 AI image you've ever seen Yeah. AI, Christian Zionism, this is perfect. That's right. You could create any miracle you wanted to with AI. That's true. Jesus did a lot of stuff, like, for example, be made of shrimp. Jesus also had six fingers. Yeah. I hate when Jesus comes with the shell in the head still on them, you know. I hate having to peel his shit off, you know, twist his little beady eyes off.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Like, just give me Jesus headless, like the shit taken out of him, you know? This is why there are literally rules. If you were a good Jewish person, you wouldn't have this issue. You wouldn't be eating the damn shellfish. Get it together. On Lil Max's Instagram, things aren't looking any better. The grids, nothing but Max, but the stories, nothing but Jesus. She shared one of the most melted podcast that I've ever seen, and I really, I really do need the group's help here.
Starting point is 01:07:13 And I wrote in parentheses sincerely. the script to figure out if these people are AI or not. This is like, to me, this is like the Theo Vaughn of like Christian podcast. Travis, please. Of hours studying the second coming, 40 years avoiding talking about it. And then just a burden God put on your heart. And now it's become this alarm that you've been sounding. Well, first of all, most people see it incorrectly.
Starting point is 01:07:38 They see it as an event. It's not an event. It's the wedding of the ages. It is all about a groom who adores his bride. who gave his life and suffered what we can't even imagine because he loves his bride so much. And he's just waiting for his dad to say, go get your girl.
Starting point is 01:07:53 And it's about a bride who's lovesick for her groom. So it's really more about a wedding. And so when people hear about it in times, unfortunately so many teachers have made it into fear. They've made it ambiguous. They have created uncertainty with people. I find that it's more about a wedding. And when you think about a wedding,
Starting point is 01:08:11 I wasn't fearful of my wedding. I was actually quite excited about my wedding. about my wedding. So I think here we just have a case of Protestants being AI coded. Yeah, I think so. A couple of people there, weird, a little stiff in their movements, but they seem to be real people. Okay, just AI coded.
Starting point is 01:08:28 It may be like a little too kind of like pristinely wrinkled that one guy. Yeah, well, they've also done the weird filter where it like almost like cell shades you. I wonder if that's it. That could be it. It does give a sheen of unreality to the whole situation. Me old eyes. In one of her latest stories on Instagram, in a desperate warning to former New Age millennial crystal mommies,
Starting point is 01:08:49 Lil Max reposts an interview with Christian musician and influencer Nick Kiswani. Things are very ignorant about yoga. I believe that it's merely just stretching. But with my background, I grew up under Hinduism and yoga is a Hindu practice. And yoga means to yoke in Sanskrit. So the question is, what are you yoking to, right? If you read the Shiva Samhitha, it's basically a collection of writings from the Hindu god Shiva. There's passages in there where he talks about how he's the creator of yoga.
Starting point is 01:09:16 And every pose is dedicated to a certain God. And the whole purpose of yoga is to yoke to that Hindu God. Christians unknowingly are worshipping these false gods. And if you're worshipping Satan, Satan is going to make his home inside of you. A lot of Christians have unknowingly let demons into their temple by partaking in this practice. And then they'll do dances around it. Christians will sit. Okay.
Starting point is 01:09:35 Okay. And then they'll do dances around it. Yeah. By the way, this guy, I checked out this guy's page just to see what kind of, what his vibes were, and all of his posts are about how Islam is satanic. Oh, cool, yeah. So he's doing, he's doing great. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:09:51 Now, last but not least, I just wanted to bring my beloved hosts a little sampling from the Lil Max merch page. You can see there's nothing really God-related at all. You know, you've got a Lil-Max girly, happy birthday card. They've added a little boat. Yeah, that's cool. They've added a little boat of Lil' Max. The classic pose, Lil' Max, looking over his shoulder.
Starting point is 01:10:12 kind of miffed, a little bit. One that just says, I'm fine, lull, like on the water bottle. Yeah. On paper, this account is totally harmless, just of little chunky boys, probably so sweet. And that's it, totally innocent. But if you watch the stories every day and are disappearing, you know, a different narrative unfolds. And that is that we are in the last two pages of the Bible and that I need to prepare for the nine things, I guess, that are going to happen. when Jesus returns.
Starting point is 01:10:44 And I don't know, I'm just a lowly Jewish person trying to figure out these end times. So I don't know. I feel like I'm a little bit in over my head here. I accept all advice from my fellow Christian hosts. I'm really curious, like, for how many of these people who enjoy this kind of content
Starting point is 01:10:59 of like cute dogs, you know, eating cheese? How much is this a deal breaker if they don't like it? You're like, oh, it's like, listen, it's like, ah, that's a really cute dog. It's like occasionally they tell me that the end is nigh. That's fine. as long as I get to see the dog continually eat cheese. I get that much dopamine from watching these Instagram reels.
Starting point is 01:11:17 Yeah, because if this was like right after January 6th, it'd be like, oh, no, I can't, I can't bother to do. I can't, like, bear to do that. We should get this account ban. But now it's like, the cheese is cute. Like, what do you want from me? Like, look, everybody's peeled a little bit now. Look, she's posted about Epstein.
Starting point is 01:11:34 I don't see any Trump. I mean, the Jesus stuff. Yeah, it's a turnoff. But, you know, at least she's not MAGA and little META. And Lil Max, I mean, what does he know? He's got the brain the size of a walnut. If she keeps feeding Lil Max cheese, it's going to be the last two pages of Lil Max. I think he's like five years old, so he's little.
Starting point is 01:11:58 He's got a ways to go. Okay. Hope that cheese grows him nice and strong. Yeah, but I hope something horrible doesn't happen, like, where she, like, sacrifices him or something because she thinks that, like, you know, Jesus is coming down. Like, I'm a little bit worried for his safety. Yeah, that's fair. She's going to be opposed to, but, like, I'm Little Max.
Starting point is 01:12:15 I don't have a soul. See, that's where, like, that's where you can see. It's like a little entry point where you can dismount, like, the whole religious thing is just telling her, well, I mean, if your belief system holds, little Max ain't going anywhere. Yeah. The whole account disappears and it just comes back as, like, dark Lil Max with lasers coming out of his eyes. I did look at this account, and I do believe that she is, like, woke on gay and trans issues. She was like, I do support you all.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Oh, fantastic. I love the new mixes. Yeah, no, yeah. Long live the new flesh. That's fine. You know what? The neo sapiens of the conspiracy of the conspiracy world, we welcome them. If you can be pilled beyond the gills but not have hatred in your heart for gay and trans people and are perfectly happy with them just living their lives, I welcome it.
Starting point is 01:13:07 Thank you for listening to another episode. of the QAA podcast. We have a website that's QAApodcast.com. Julian, you have another podcast that you've been working on. You guys are putting out tons of content, superstructure. Yeah, I mean, I don't really want to promote it too much, but superstructurepodcast.com. No, no, definitely still want to give them that URL and go check it out, folks. Go check it out.
Starting point is 01:13:36 Liv, are you streaming right now? Are you working on a newsletter? Yes. stuff. Most of the streams are doing now is reactions to World Cup games. Oh, that sounds fun. And, yeah, each other streams noon on Sundays, PST at Twitch dot TV slash Levagar and also my newsletter at liveagar.com. That's a perfect Sunday afternoon activity. Travis, what do you've been up to? I've been, uh, you know what? My New Year's resolution is that I would get more into a scream and swing around the sticks more often. I've been doing that actually. I've been, I've been
Starting point is 01:14:06 enjoying it. Yeah, my posture is better. I, um, I would get more. I, uh, I would get more. I, um, I'm I feel, I feel confident. I can, I can strike something with a great amount of force. So it's a lot of fun for me. Folks, we're all headed to Travis's place. We're not going to tell you where that is, but we're all headed there once the apocalypse breaks out. So just know, somewhere like when you are, you know, crouching in fear from some kind of radioactive ghoul that's about to murder you, just know that at least three of the QAA hosts, some of our international hosts. No space.
Starting point is 01:14:35 Oof. Well, yeah, I don't know what's, you know, they might be on their own. They can take mine because the only place I'm headed is scoliosis and bed sores. Julian's like, I welcome. I welcome the end of this era. Take me. But we're all going to be up in the woods somewhere, throwing axes, you know. Blowing each other.
Starting point is 01:14:54 Not that. Well, not for me and Travis, probably. Don't speak for Travis. Oh, no. Well, I've already done the outro. Heck, do I have anything to plug? I don't think so. Except you, listener.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Thank you for listening. and until next week, may the Deep Dish bless you and keep you. We have auto-keyed content based on your preferences. Pay very close attention to what this person says because I could not believe my ears. I was freaking out. Take a listen.
Starting point is 01:15:33 20 grand booster, P.P. in charge. We're going to use it against the transaction window to see what the results are. I didn't expect the half-pounder to make a, make like a laser beam through the guy's head. It's about the same as a gunshot. This is NIH 4 rated glass from a 30-od-6. It's about the same foot diameter.
Starting point is 01:15:54 It's about the same as a gunshot from a 30-a-6. If you shot it against that bulletproof, you heard him correctly, I promise you. That was the first one I hit. He decided, same results as a 30-odd-6. 20 grams of P.E.T.N. mimics the punch of a 30-0.6 bullet. bullet. Unbelievable. I want to be clear if this video was not posted to prove or debunk any conspiracy theories. In fact, it was published back in May of 2025. Charlie was very much alive.
Starting point is 01:16:24 That's a full four months before Charlie was murdered. So it is fascinating that they are saying it mimics the diameter of a 30-0.6 bullet, especially given the persistent conspiracy theory that Charlie's road mic was rigged with P.E.T.N. explosive. I haven't much talked spoken about that because I wasn't a P.E.T.N. expert until this Butler situation, speaking with people, close to situation telling me about this strange set of circumstances and the possibility of some explosives ring and I went, wait, what? What are we talking about?
