I'm always on my damn phone all the time.
My wife is like, I need you to look up from your phone
as I tell you about the TV show I saw.
A lot of things I say to you, Alex will respond,
you sound like my wife.
Well, because we're in love.
That's only natural.
We're also both in, what do they call it,
cashew relationships, but in opposite ways.
What does that mean?
Catholic-Jewish relationship.
Oh, yes.
Where you went to Catholic school
and my wife went to Catholic school.
And then I'm Jewish and your wife is Jewish
Yes, and she's low-key loud-coded like myself
My wife?
Yeah, that's right
Wait, I'm in a cashew
Yeah, there you go
Oh my god
It goes all the way to the bottom of the tin
It's a bit of a nut joke
For our nut fans
You know what, let's start the show
I'm crazy for it
Let's start the damn show
Rock, rock, rock
War Raiders
War Raiders podcast
Coming to you live from Brooklyn, New York
And all across the web
It's season six, War Raiders Cyber
How are you, listener?
The earth says hello
We got all of your hosts today
We got Alex, Jeremy, and Claire
It's gonna be a spicy one
War Raiders weather report
like 90 degrees outside in the
middle of September. Is that true?
It's a little bit hot out there. Just one of those New York
middle of September 90 degree
days where you look at it and you say
probably nothing.
It's going to be
just another day
you say. Another random thing to happen.
Interesting recording
choice. Today, Jeremy,
he's dying of COVID-19. What's up, dog?
No, I don't have COVID. I have a cold.
The novel coronavirus has infected his
cells.
i'm just a little sick uh i for some reason thought we were not recording today i took
my focus pills which i do not do when i record podcast right and um it may arise conflict later
in the show as my spirit has been caged using modern chemistry that's why you don't take your
medicine that makes you focus yeah because it leashes the beast it leashes the beast claire
It's not safe for our party to travel under these circumstances.
There's edifice nearby.
And Claire, also, I guess, a little sick.
So you know what?
The party's wounded today.
Claire, are you sick, too?
I'm getting over sick.
Yeah, I think that's where I'm at.
Sickness is over party.
I slept, like, 20 hours in the last two days.
Alex called me at 11, and I did not pick up.
I called him at 10.30 at 11, and I texted everyone, like,
Can I take my pills?
And then no one answered.
And then at noon, Jeremy was like, nah, dog, we got to just do it.
Well, you know, you're like, do you want to record on Saturday?
It's got to be out Monday.
That's true.
Okay.
You know what?
It doesn't, it's all fine.
And when you cancel day of on a podcast, it's actually a pretty cool move.
It's a cool move and we all respect that.
We think it's really pimp.
uh first order of business the appropriate podcast uh uh promotion call outs hello we
are a small podcast if you listen to our podcast we do not have advertisers if you listen to our
show every week we could use your support on patreon.com slash quarators this also gets you
an extra episode where we go on other websites exciting stuff you can go on all kinds of crazy
websites it's even more cyber back there also i have a baby now please consider supporting the
show uh if you do not have any money please leave us a nice itunes review supposedly that helps
people say that i don't know anyone who's clicking recommended itunes podcasts but somebody's doing
it and they're a real sicko we want on board here's something that's true about itunes reviews
I don't think that the good iTunes reviews really do much for us, like, emotionally.
But the bad ones do hurt my feelings.
Yeah.
They cut.
So if you want to hurt me.
We're the only ones looking.
You surely can.
I got the number locked in.
I know when it changes.
And those are just some things I've noticed every successful podcast says at the start of their episode.
But after that, the time has come to broach the subject of the day.
And that subject today is, of course, gang warfare.
It's an urban podcast.
It's recorded in the city.
Two cities.
New York and Los Angeles, two of the crime capitals of the United States.
Now, what was that sound drop you just played?
I couldn't hear it.
It was the Inception noise.
How do we change Zoom to let the sound effects go across?
I feel like that's our last obstacle here.
It's definitely one of the obstacles.
It's probably the only one, but that's something I'm going to look into after this.
But right now, I'm going to look into gang warfare and how gangs are corrupting our youth and driving them to kill.
I should ask at the front of the show, has anyone had any experience running deep with the Bloods?
No.
But I can do this.
Oh, do it.
Oh, no, she's doing it.
Yo!
All of our questions are about not doing it.
Oh, my God, that's so cool.
All of our, they say not to.
Whoa.
Damn.
For the listener, I did the blood thing with my hand.
It was so scary.
It's also definitely got to be the picture of the YouTube video.
Is Claire ganging up?
I can do that.
I can make that happen.
You can do that one too?
No, no.
I can make Claire the YouTube thumbnail.
Whenever a child would make the blood symbol, I'd be like, not only are you in a violent gang, but you're so talented.
It's the only thing I know how to do with my body, really.
Oh.
Well, you got to know how to do more if you're going to be in that gang,
but we'll get around to that.
I know that, like...
No, I just was saying, I always wanted to be that kid
who knew how to do the four-leaf clover with his tongue.
Oh, that would have been cool as hell.
In Boston, that was very important.
Yeah.
It was the only thing that could keep you safe from the roving Irish gangs.
I couldn't do it, and I had to fight every day of my life.
I don't have control over my body in the way that you guys do.
Yep.
I don't think you do either.
Cool.
And that's enough on that.
Alex and I had sex years ago.
We're in love.
And it's a cashew relationship.
Yum, yum.
Yum, yum, yum.
I was going to say,
I know that,
have you guys ever heard
like rumors about like
gang violence in New York City?
Because I have a friend
who lived in like Fort Greene
who would always talk about like,
you see the bloods out there
in Fort Greene
and you better not wear blue
around them
or they'll like kill you.
And I don't think
that that's real at all.
But every now and then
I'll be wearing like
a blue jacket around there
and I'm like,
someone's going to think
I'm in a gang.
they're gonna think i'm the writer for the crypts like i had that intrusive thought like
oh they added this scrawny jewish guy to the crypt he's got a lot of zingers
um i used to i've talked about this on the show before but when i lived in bushwick supposedly
the block i lived on like was actively controlled by gangs but i think it is very different for
adults who are gentrifying a neighborhood to be in that situation because everyone's like
oh not you you don't really live here yeah or if anything you're part of like an initiation thing
where they they're supposed to kill a random oh right right you just happen to be holding your
matcha and they take you out they get you that should be the initiation in bushwick gangs you
have to kill one podcaster i actually don't think that should be the initiation because i think
that's wrong uh but our whole relationship with them is all of the guys on the street would have
sex with like every girl who moved into our building really uh they just like always started
dating them and they were all married and then their wives would try to kill those women and
uh that was the scariest thing that happened when i was there is one of the wives tried to
bake into our building with a bat because uh to get the cheater but that rocks that's not really
a gang thing wives go off we support all wives support wives um you have to kill that girl with
a pixie cut did you see the try guys guy who cheated on his wife made a podcast with her
yesterday there's so many things i would never have seen in this um tell me about it it was the
biggest news yesterday it was huge news so this got the one of the try guys you know he's famously
fired from the show for cheating on his wife with an employee who they all worked with on the show
who the employee was getting married to someone else also on the show and they were making like
wedding content this is like fucking starting like a mormon commune i know or something it's
really weird so that guy made a podcast he's starting a new podcast called rock bottom and
he released an episode with his wife yesterday his ex-wife now i'm here with my wife she hates
me the whole the whole episode is him being like and you don't forgive me right and she's like no
i don't fucking forgive you you ruined my life it's like an hour long and what's your body count
it's just me
I've seen somebody
because it's very funny

my entire life

but I get to,
they try things,
they try things.
And I get to find out about them at the lowest moments of their lives.
And that's all that I'm asking.
Is that so much to ask?
Yeah.
Um,
well,
that's been the news.
But no further ado.
I think we're ready to go on Cora.com with our space of the week.

This space is...
CrimeScene.Quora.com.
I'm hitting the Inception noise again.
All right, we need to talk about this.
The header image of this is...
I'm assuming from some sort of video game
where it's like the POV is night vision goggles
and some guy has been shot in the chair.
It's interesting.
Is it a video game?
It looks like a man has been shot in the back of the head
execution style next to a bowl of potions.
It looks quite real, which is odd.
Probably Metal Gear Solid 5.
Can I search this?
From how real it is.
Doesn't that look like video game?
This is from Outlast, a new horror game.
claire fucking sniped that shit oh my god spring i know what the fuck is up don't try to sneak
out last past claire she knows every mission okay it's very lifelike outlast here it is tom
tom this is tom he's been killed tom yeah i'm sorry dad all right peter tom image crime scene
dot quora crime scene dot quora dot com now if you fish around in here it is a lot of really
gruesome stuff. Wait, can we talk about the profile
picture, though, which is a man with a skull for a face
whispering? What I was going to say is we
should not click around randomly because it's
upsetting, and we should talk about the profile
picture that is a skull whispering
shush to you.
There's 25,000 followers and
six contributors. This is the most organized
Quora space we have ever been on.

Yeah, I'm on Adderall.
I'm on Adderall.
We're going to end up back on the other thing.
Do not fear.
Vote for Biden.
This is if Trump was for Biden.
I love Biden.
So tall.
I'm going to vote for him.
Vote for me.
Vote for Biden.
The picture is them touching on the shoulder just so.
That's actually Barack Obama he's touching.
I'm far away from the...
I know, but that's weird, right?
Yeah, why isn't he touching him so much?
And the subheader is the discussion of U.S. political dirty game.

zero crime sin started after when adam and eve disobeyed the creator yep
one hold on hold on hold on i've seen nothing to object to so far what the fuck did adam do
uh he he didn't eat that damn fruit he fucked with eve though and eve was straight up part
she was his best friend you fucked with eve yeah he was like on one and he didn't say anything
yeah he's complicit he's complicit she's literally his rib did they do a podcast together about it
you know what i think about sometimes is eve like the size of a rib is she like 10 times
smaller than that just a little guy yeah what if i want to eat a little apple i want to be big
i want an apple that makes me big i want to be big like adam
adam's so strong oh man he's so leashed by the adderall right now won't you put me on a tree
she's just running around with a snake
she's like one foot tall they're the same height this is how alex sees all women
I do see them that way, and I'm working on it.
He's so big.
Back to the post, please.
We have to get back down to where he quotes Rodney Day.
Yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
I've done a good job not reading ahead.
I'm sorry I got stuck on zero.
One.
All right, so we're just beginning.
I mean, starting original sin, given Catholic school,
check cashew relationship.
One.
When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in,
he has no choice but to become an outlaw i agree with that does anybody have any problems with that
no two that's true parentheses i come from a real tough neighborhood three
okay wait no to that about human evil so this is no it's a it's just one of the few things about
human evil and crime is that someone who says i came from a real tough neighborhood is human evil
it's like a flavor of it
it's like to give you like put
your mind's eye on a subject
it's like a guy who says like oh my
mother loved to feed me
note that
number three the world is
full of obvious things which nobody by
any chance ever observes
and this is a sub
bullet point in number three so we
are not a number for you three
poverty is the mother of crime Marcus Aurelius
three no
crime is so great as to daring to excel winston churchill the head never rules the heart but just
becomes its partner in crime mignon mclaughlin who's mignon mclaughlin he's one of the idiots
that's that mignon that make me laugh
probably that one with the eyeball uh is it a crime to fight or for what is to be mine
tupac shakur he's always saying there's two more of these folks i'm sorry there may be more
There may be a lot more.
This is number three of reasons they're a crime.
I came from a real tough neighborhood.
Once a guy pulled a knife on me.
I knew he wasn't a professional.
The knife had butter on it.
Whoa.
Is this Rodney Danger here?
That's funny.
Don't compromise yourself.
You're all you have.
Tough neighborhood.
One time a guy pulled a knife on me, but I knew he wasn't a professional.
The knife had butter on it.
It is funny when you read it like that.
I understand that.
Oh.
And then it's kind of like an inspirational quote from Rodney Driefield.
I actually think the later one is, this is the Rodney one.
Once I pulled the job, it was so stupid,
I picked the guy's pocket on an airplane and made a run for it.
Wow.
Foolish.
That would not work, Rodney.
A good thief you would not be, Rodney.
Rodney, this is why no one respects you.
Rodney, what if you were the size of a rib?
You ever think about that?
How little you'd be putting in your pocket.
Hey, I'm taking Rodney home with me.
I'm all for old Rodney.
I'm just going to put the rest in my pocket.
Okay, the next quote is from Joseph Pulitzer.
There is not a crime.
There is not a dodge.
There is not a trick.
There is not a swindle.
There is not a vice for which does not live by secrecy.
Oh, yeah.
I agree with that one.
That's the truest thing I've ever heard.
This is by Sophocles.
All men make mistakes, but a good man yields
when he knows his course is wrong and repairs the evil.
The only crime is pride.
Interesting.
So halfway through three,
I'm beginning to think the only crime is pride.
If you murder somebody, but you like say,
Hey, that's my bad.
Anybody could have killed that guy.
That's basically how Christianity works as far as I'm aware.
That's pretty much it.
Yeah.
Right.
If you just apologize, then Jesus is like,
Hey, no worries.
Yeah.
And you just got to like downplay shit.
You got to be like,
Jesus could have killed that guy way better than me.
Okay.
Okay, or is this part...
No, this is Neal Stephenson.
It's really confusing.
Please read this quote from Neal Stephenson.
Neal Stephenson is the author of...
I do not think...
If you want to believe that this next quote
is by someone named Sophocles, be my guest.
He's the author of Leviathan Wakes, I believe.
Is that correct?
I think this might be Sophocles.
No, okay, I'm going to read it.
Until a man is 25, he still thinks every so often
that under the right circumstances,
he could be the baddest motherfucker
in the world. Damn, Sophocles
said that. He was so ahead of his
time in the way he talked. If I moved
to a martial arts monastery in China,
a thing Sophocles knows about, and studied
real hard for 10 years, if my family
was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers
and I swore myself to revenge, if I got
a fatal disease, had one year to live
and devoted it to wiping out street crime,
if I just dropped out and devoted my life
to being bad.
To what end?
Then what?
Then what?
You'd write a really long science fiction novel.
Great.
You'd get quoted on Quora.
You'd make a show on the sci-fi network where a guy wears a fedora.
That'd be cool.
What's the show?
The Expanse.
Did he write The Expanse?
I think, yeah.
No, The Expanse is written by two guys.
You know what?
Look it up.
I'll stop the damn show in its tracks.
Go to the TV series.
It is written by James S.A. Corey.
James S.A. Corey.
No!
Which is actually Daniel Abraham and Ty Frank.
Interesting.
So it seems like you're full of shit.
Yeah, it was a different book, guy.
We Google things.
I'm now terrified of whatever Neil Stevenson made.
He wrote Snow Crash.
And Cryptonomicon.
And Seven Neves.
Seven Neves.
You know what?
If you're at a bookstore, this guy's books are right next to the other one.
So it's actually not the craziest mistake anyone's ever made.
You fucking idiot.
And because I'm not in a gang, I can make mistakes without it costing me my precious life.
Claire, do the blood side.
Claire, don't do it.
I command you.
Dan, no!
No!
A pirate's death.
I'm going to fucking kill you, bitch.
No!
Shot through the neck.
All right.
Damn.
Well, you can't read all these quotes, right?
That's a pretty picture of the snake holding an apple in its mouth.
Is that how that happened?
Is that Eve's friend?
This doesn't make sense because my understanding is that the snake had arms at that time and that he was punished for his crimes.
They're right below his neck.
Helping a woman.
They're below his neck.
Where do you see that?
It's off screen.
Oh, fuck off.
That's what I'm saying.
He'd be holding the apple with his little hands.
You know what really pisses me off about this?
And it is not a religion episode.
but if they ate from the tree of wisdom
and that was the crime,
how are they supposed to know not to do that shit?
Oh, shit.
They're dumb as rocks.
Cinema sin.
If I tell my cat not to do something and he does it,
I'm like, who am I to blame here?
Cinema sin.
Ding.
Ding.
God did it wrong.
God, you are a bad writer.
Epic mistake fail from God.
Do we have any more from this space you'd like to read?
We saw no crime in this space.
You want to look at one more that isn't a pedophile murder?
The top question here is about Charlie Kirk.
Okay.
Wouldn't it be nice if murderers were in prisons and insane people in treatment so that all resources available in the Kirk assassination could focus on the now rare, low-profile, drug-related murders in South Chicago?
Can we please focus on black people like Charlie wanted?
What is the point of this question?
Wouldn't it be nice?
Wouldn't it be nice if we could focus on all the drug-related murders in Chicago?
Wow, there are some really interesting moderators to this space.
I just want to talk about the other ones besides the first two with very long African names.
The second one I will try to pronounce is Madokkego Fabian.
And then the other one is Fuck Megalomaniac Authoritarians Governing America MAGA.
Well, can you also read what their jobs are?
He's a scatologist at Bovine Scatology.
Bovine Scatology.
Now, that's poop stuff, right?
Yes, but for cows.
And then the other ones are,
what have we done so wrong at Hurtful Stories?
By the way, if any of you try to get me fired from Hurtful Stories
for my Charlie Kirk joke, I'll kill you.
Yeah, please don't try to get us fired from Quarators.
Don't call Jeremy.
People were being very mean to me
when I made fun of Charlie Kirk's untimely death.
They tried to get you fired from hurtful stories?
Yeah, they did.
Do not come for Jeremy.
Do not come.
Do not come.
I'll kill you.
Claire's doing the blood symbol again.
We'll add a special sound
so you know when Claire's doing the blood symbol on audio.
I can't wait to hear this podcast read out in court.
It's the transcript of it.
Claire is doing blood symbol, Alex said.
uh i don't know if we should click around on here anymore yeah i think we as a sensible society
could we institute a mandate that people arrested for violent crimes particularly if a gun was
involved that bail in any amount would be routinely denied no answers on that no answers on any of
these no this is a real circle jerk style space yeah it's really just for questions why does it
seem the majority of americans have lost faith in the police no answer there's no way to know
No one knows why.
We'll never know.
I guess they're just jealous of their cool cars.
Is it illegal for a police officer to turn off their cameras?
Yes.
Okay, let's go to questions then.
Yeah, let's get ganged up.
It's the Quoker.
Let's go.
It's our incel and manosphere segment, the Quoker.
Which is the Joker, but for Quora.
And this is an original song I made.
How do I join a gang without the violence part?
I want to be part of something that's close like a family.
but I don't know what exactly.
This is a really good question.
A gang without the violence part.
So that's just a club, isn't it?
Yeah.
But like a club where people see you on the street
and maybe get a little scared.
Try to join like a gang where every week we get together
and watch a new anime film.
So just like friends.
He just sort of wants friends.
Right now we're going through Satoshi Kon.
Yeah, that is friends.
I would like to read some answers.
Oh, okay.
Well, what about this one from an online English teacher?
Okay, this is by Maggie Strive.
Games come in many different realities.
It's always rare to have a typo in the first word.
The online English teacher.
Yeah, there's kind of a bad sign there.
Most have violence as their religion.
Not a good place for you.
They will sense your weakness.
So let's go look at other options.
One, join the choir.
Those people are in it for the fun.
Don't just sing.
Actually join in.
What?
Don't just show up.
Don't be that quiet guy at the choir
who sings and goes home.
To be clear, that's what she said.
Don't just sing.
Actually join in.
Be upbeat and encouraging.
Go and do shots with the Sopranos.
Two, no singing?
Go to college, even part-time.
Find your tribe.
Again, join in.
Again, join in.
Three, theater?
Again, find your tribe.
four travel this is hard this is hard find a job that pays you cruise ships hire lots of people
that is a great note do you think if you want to be in a pacifistic gang you could work on a cruise
ship do you think when she says this is hard she means traveling or like writing this list where
she's like i'm running out of stuff this is getting hard i never would have thought of half
of these answers i think it is hard uh number five is the last one you will find people who
respect you and enjoy you but you have to believe that you're more than a gang member don't let
someone else direct your living wow that's beautiful yeah she has no upvotes you gotta up
send her an up dude up vote five years ago this is written in 2020 nothing particularly going on
back then that's probably why she was an online teacher oh she's from bristol indiana that's
probably why she wrote games oh who i named from bristol are you i'm from indiana oh i'm from
Des Moines.
Are you going to do it
A goes bottom?
Are you thinking about it?
I was thinking about both.
It doesn't make any damn sense.
It sure doesn't.
I just like that
the choir
the choir
is the first
group of people
you could think of
culturally
a group of people.
The
the choir.
If you're in a choir
that's like being an adult
theater kid, right?
I guess so.
I know people who do choir.
It's kind of adult
theater kid-esque.
Do you think they all
I think so.
They all touch each other
a little bit?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah?
Oh, yeah.
There's like a guy who's just straight enough in there just going to town.
In my school, Model Congress was the one where everybody fucked.
That's fascinating.
Did you guys not have that?
No.
Well, that's because you guys got to go on trips and stuff.
Yes.
They had to sleep at each other's houses.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also, I think if they're modeling Congress, it does kind of make sense they're all having
illicit sexual activity.
Exactly.
and then my school also had model un and that was known as the one where you do it if you like
actually like politics and then model congress was like that's a fuck fest for ugly people
just so you know this is a huge everybody's fucking by the way show this podcast to children
i remember when i was in high school i hung out with a bunch of model congress people who i didn't
even know like from other schools and they're like all right guys it's time for our cuddle
puddle and they all like laid on each other and i was like i gotta get out of here oh bro i could
not find those yeah i could not find a single model congress that's what you needed to do if
you're 16 and you're listening to this and you're like no one will touch me join model congress
they're all fucking each other model congress especially on long island can make your arguments
concise i think we could just move to the next question we got a lot of them okay you don't want
to read this uh related question what is an average day like for a gig member that sounds
good i feel like someone's gonna say something crazy maybe you might wake up put on your big
your long socks your long shorts um this guy says the few gang members i knew mostly just did and
sell drugs all day that sounds about right they don't even leave that house until they have to
restock up they would have visitors all day long at his house either clients or friends wanting to
hang out it was a boring lifestyle just smoking and selling heroin and meth all day long they're
too paranoid to leave the house
unless they really had to
and it was always
with a few people.
They were afraid
cops would stop them
and they were correct
about that
as they were always
targeted by cops
because of their tattoo
especially the one
with the face tattoo.
So there you go.
The cops were actually
right on to be targeting
this crew of gang members.
You're mostly just
hanging out playing
Smash Bros with your homies
while on meth.
Any of you boys
been playing 2K today?
Doing some career mode?
Look me in the eyes
when you tell me
what your in-game
NPC looks like.
Ann says,
interesting question i come at it from a different couple of different experiences
first of all i grew up in buffalo new york in the projects anyone from that area knows the west side
was not a place you went to unless you lived there i lived there in the late 1940s through
1984 okay twist it was a mafia neighborhood and there were rules on the gang activities and
behavior women and children were off limits especially if you were family the running
number and drug deliveries were done quietly and the police presence was rare my mother was a
hardcore addict so i was really familiar with the dealers and their routines i went to school there
through the end of eighth grade and we moved out to the suburbs however i developed a healthy code
of self-defense and a cloak of hostility when it was needed i carried a switchblade from 12 years
old and was very street smart it would take a lot to explain how and why okay i just want to get
into the fact that you have not been answering this question at all and they're just telling
us your life story which is fascinating and i like it should i keep reading platform her yes
second experience as an adult i did a lot of work for juvenile probation dealing with teenage drug
offenders that ticked off the gangs they belonged to and they broke into counseling sessions a few
times uh and were shocked when the skinny 35 year old counselor picked out the leader and let loose
with a fury at him and used language a sailor would be embarrassed by to answer your question
they mostly play 2k just her and being like you fucking cocksuckers fuck you why you take my
cock out of your mouth and get out of my psycho session i'm 35 just using like uh naval racial
slurs oh my god third experience was doing counseling with older gang members being
released from prison terms and uh who were ordered by the court to go through a program
to get custody of their children back.
We evaluated them over 16 weeks
and made a recommendation to the court.
In that program,
I was only threatened and assaulted one time
over a two-year period.
That's not bad.
Was I injured?
She was a second-degree murder conviction
and way bigger than me.
She got an initial attempt to bite my neck,
but my early years taught me a lot.
And I, quote, subdued her
and her probation was over.
Did you kill this woman, Anne?
She subdued her.
Her cloak of hostility protected her from this vampire.
She hid beneath her cloak and also subdued her with a knife.
The majority of the people we saw working hard to understand how to live differently
so they could gain custody of their children and keep them in their lives.
All right.
There's a lot more, but it does not seem like she ever answers the question.
So I think we could really move on.
Wait, eventually she does.
Look.
But first, now I know this all sounds crazy,
But it is all true.
Eventually, later on, she says,
So what is the average day like for a gang member?
In my interaction with them and living until 14 years old in the middle of it,
the best answer I can give you is it involves a lot of pretending you don't care about others.
Pretending you are not afraid.
Pretending you are in control.
Pretending you are not scared stupid of getting arrested.
Always scared and pretending.
That's like acting school again.
So that's so interesting.
It's like acting school.
Well, thanks for writing in.
I've got to visit Buffalo, the home of the wing.
I feel like you wanted that to be more exciting, but I liked it.
I like that this woman who lives in Arizona and is an IT manager.
She's an IT manager now.
Has a lot of thoughts about gang violence.
She's giving up on the children.
And she loves the board game Bridge.
Ah, well, it's more of a card game really, isn't it?
And she has a lot of opinions about politics.
She says, why do Clinton supporters not understand how deep the rejection
the progressive movement was in the last election.
That was eight years ago, she said.
Yeah, so she was not into Hillary Clinton.
She maybe did.
She's extremely old.
Well, I'm really done reading everything
about this 80-year-old woman.
Please go back to the gangs.
That was gangs.
Why do you have such a cloak of hostility, Alex?
I was born to need one for my own protection.
I have a question for you.
I'm looking for a gang to join, but I'm pretty young,
and I don't know any gangs where I live.
How do I find one?
You should probably do what Claire's been doing,
just throw up the sign everywhere.
There it is.
All right, Claire's doing it again.
She's doing the blood sign, if you're listening at home.
You got to look for people wearing all one color.
I don't think I've ever seen you wear red, Claire.
I wear red when I work at my job at Target.
Oh, Claire.
You're crazy for this one.
They make you do that.
That's not a choice of yours.
uh we have one answer by donna vane baker who says are you serious right now my g one if you
have to go to quora for that shit you probably ain't got what it takes but i concede here we go
one one again everyone's numbering is way off today we gotta do better one the second time
you have to know deal drugs do drugs fight with and without weapons smoke be willing to commit
illegal acts don't show weakness don't be a prick don't snitch don't be friendly with cops etc how
old are you by the way because if you are older you're an idiot if you're under like 20 you got
a better chance depending on where you live and shit but yet you know what if i found out you
wanted to join my gang and shit and you got your advice from the internet i'd jump your ass if i
don't personally know you to trust you because ops are a risk and you're probably a pussy if i find
out you rap i'm gonna listen to what you say and make you prove it if you don't i'll jump you
i'll make you shed blood and jack cars anyway because you need to prove yourself think you
got what it takes i can keep going just ask by the way no one has moved into the downstairs
apartment yet in case anyone was wondering that's donna bane top comment here from samantha saying
i think you're bullshitting these people if not i want in i don't know if i'm allowed to
talk like donovan on the podcast what in the fuck you talking about
all right i'm having a lot of fun now okay we're following donovan he has 22 answers
he is a white american he says because the question white americans what type of music
do you listen to and he said i listen to rap but i grew up in south largo
so he's a white guy you have a beautiful way with words he's answering the question do black people
dream what do you guys think i think yes they do no one knows you have to read this answer you
simply you simply must read this answer you are done evan okay uh okay do black people dream
the question if the other two answers weren't here i'd tear you a new one african-american
haitian spanish mexican latino slash uh white asian fucking purple attack helicopter
if that's your shit we're still all fucking people and the fact that people like you exist
disgust me fucking idiot there's no point in the fucking go off discrimination if i'm cool with you
we'll share a drink smoke party whatever the fuck i don't care who or what you are and vice versa
I don't care who or what you
label me a racist if you want
to but whatever ethnicity you are
I'll still kick your teeth in if I
have to god damn Nazi ass
motherfucker
I love how powerfully progressive
Donovan is
he's using
like a lot of like
extremely right wing coded terminology
to be like we're all just
monkeys on a rock man
he said attack helicopter and i know purple purple is a very boomer thing uh but you know
what i'm gonna use it i think he's cool as hell i love him should we read another one by him
sure how do you know if your child has a devil inside of him okay if you mean literal devil
you're an idiot if you mean behavior wise try and correct it or bond or some shit
but don't wait or hesitate to get him into therapy or report him for anything
yeah don't report him i want to read i don't i haven't read the answer but i really like the
question why do white women love saying don't touch me in a fight it says because if they do
if you do they can claim assault whether they attacked you first or not this is someone you
do be doing that this is someone who knows the law donovan's been in a lot of fights with white
women yeah you know they are right about the whole touching rule there's a lot of great questions on
this guy's profile this one the first part of it's not that funny with the ending or it's the
question is i'm black and being treated horribly by other blacks in school and online all my friends
are literally hispanic or white is there any possible way to change the situation parentheses
please don't be racist please i'm in an extremely racial situation what are some
without bringing that up i just gotta get out of it
and then and then donovan does try to get him out of it i think that you could basically put
please don't be racist at the end of any quora question please don't be racist pretty good
please don't be racist and this answer donovan reveals he is 15 but this was four years ago so
ladies he's legal he's 19 so all these answers we've been reading are by a 15 year old white
kid who lives in the ghetto i know could you believe it that's awesome i know it's a stretch
but he might be 15 and he's fighting white women yeah he's gonna smoke and party and
drink and some shit and he's gonna cut your ass up i'm on the pursuit
he's gone kid cuddy mode in the forums okay uh let's do the next question okay all right
how do you find a gang if you're looking for one i said google it yeah you gotta google you
go on four square you're gonna get cut up by donovan you could just tell them you come from
quorum all right all right here's another question for you am i a punk for not fighting fair and
street fights you're a damn punk you're a pug clean it up i don't want to see that out of you
Go to these chains.
Learn Aikido.
Corey, you ever been in a fight?
Me?
Yeah.
I feel like I've been asked this question a couple times on this podcast.
Yeah, I think we talked about it before.
She hasn't.
She's like a violent, scary person.
Yeah, it's like there are too many answers to pick from.
I always fantasize about getting in a street fight.
Really?
And what I would do and who would prompt me and what I would say.
Okay, so what's the scenario?
who's prompting you and what are they saying probably nick i guess i guess it's mostly
something like um i see some some injustice happening out on the streets and then i go up
and i'm like hey don't don't even think about doing that anymore and then they're like fuck
you i'll kill you and i'll kill you first and then i do i sweep i i run around behind them
oh hell yeah sort of choke sweep leg situation i'm in control now yeah yeah it's claire's house now
i said welcome to the welcome to my house house of pain whoa call me tyler perry isn't that him
house of pain well the the rap the rap group house of pain isn't tyler perry but he does have a show
called that whatever he does yeah i think so i believe jeremy is right about this one although
I've never seen it, so it is a bit of a risk.
He had a TV show, Tyler Perry's House of Pain.
I don't know if you guys know this.
Tyler Perry produces a lot of art.
It's a Madea thing.
I hear they're replacing Kimmel with House of Pain.
I mean, I hate to say this, but hello.
Haven't you heard of House of Pain?
I have.
I referenced it on this podcast today.
It has 14 seasons, Claire.
How about you open your eyes?
Yeah, he does a lot of TV shows, that guy, Tyler Perry.
He's making a lot of money.
You should have the spec script of House of Pain ready at any given moment.
That's what they're all saying right now in Hollywood,
is that you have to have a House of Pain spec.
Oh, no.
You have to know what Medea would do.
Oh, the dog's here.
Dog alert.
Dog alert.
Okay.
Well, I do think that you are a punk for not fighting fair,
but also you can't expect them to fight fair in a street fight.
Read this answer from Liam McDonald.
It's from Liam McDonald.
And do it in an Irish accent if you can.
Or I guess McDonald's.
Is that Irish?
Yeah.
That is, in fact, Irish, actually.
It's not Scottish or anything.
It's a fun fact of the week.
Great.
It depends what you mean by a straight fight.
If you're going out looking for fights, then you're a moron,
and you're going to end up dead sooner or later.
Why?
Because when you assault someone in public,
you're going to meet two types of people.
The most common type won't know how to fight.
This is the type of fight you see on YouTube,
and they look like a pair of toddlers flailing randomly at each other,
falling all over the place and then someone eventually manages one solid punch normally
by sheer luck and the other person just falls over and there's plenty of time for someone to
get out a camera and start filming this irish fuck wait have you ever seen those videos of the
those like gangs in ireland or they're just guys who they they make these videos on youtube where
they're just like speaking to the camera to technically like some guy in another village
she was like i heard what you said about me mate and i'm gonna fucking kick your ass and i said
how did it and then they just like send videos back and forth through youtube i would love to
see this is awesome is this similar to remember when we had the portal oh yeah the portal that
was to ireland right i think so to dublin we had a portal to dublin times square which was just like
a two-way camera and then dublin spent the whole time doing 9-11 jokes and showing their boobs no
That was us.
We showed our boobs.
We showed our boobs?
We had this one OnlyFans girl who went there and showed her boobs.
And it was like, the New York Post was like, what?
And it's also like, oh, now we got to take it down.
Now that there's great stuff in the portal.
The best possible thing that could happen in the portals app.
And we're not going to top that.
It's a cultural exchange.
What if the portal was just boobs all day?
I think people would love that.
It's a porn portal.
It's a sexual portal.
it's a portal of human touch people go there there'd be no war yeah this is the next evolutionary
step from gangs uh anyway there's liam's really going off on this yeah this can often delude
street fighters into thinking they're hot stuff they got lucky a few times they think they're a
good fighter then one day you'll meet an actual martial artist they'll mostly ignore you right
up until the point when you're swinging and then if you're lucky you'll wake up in a hospital
If you're unlucky, you won't wake up at all.
And the fight will be over well before you knew it even started.
And there won't be time for anyone to take out a camera and do the videoing.
Hidey-ho.
Hidey-ho.
And so that's the answer is you'll come across an actual martial artist who kills you.
Who will kill you.
If you don't fight fair.
Don't poke eyes.
Don't kidney punch.
I'm sending you a video of, I think, a video of one of these.
this is the main feed though so i don't know that we can watch a video on our video we're gonna do
it i don't really care we can watch this i've seen your reply there no vice squeak as i call you i
seen your reply there on the internet it was you to start all this internet shit the computers
you're saying how you won't skip the queue skip the queue to fight me the only queue sime you'll
be skipping is the queue to the hospital they'll be putting all these messages aside to see to you
again i'm finished with it what is this you're dirty squeaky innocent
come out and fight now sam i'm ready for you we can all do that time we'll all fight with the
hands you're willing to fight with your hands come out now i'll come out and fight with your
hands what are you talking about trust me in that you're dirty squeaky good for nothing
video two black and tan recorded irish irish call out videos that's what they're called i guess
What the fuck are you saying, dog?
This is going to be a whole section of my life watching these.
The current subtitle for audio listeners is Rat Pies and Bastard Jep.
The Jep.
This guy is huge.
Yeah, you wouldn't want him calling you out, would you, Jeremy?
No, I really would not.
If your lass was cutting in the queue.
Oh, that would not be good for me.
Keep your lass at her appropriate part of the queue is all that he asks.
You damn cashew.
and your cashew relationship i get a whole bag of two of 7-eleven
i'm part of the mother grind
um these are good so crazy let me close this yeah thank you for sharing that
that was so welcome that was a gift claire it was a gift it says uh a hundred thousand views
yo anyway that was great i love that um let's go to another question i think the answer is yeah
You're a punk.
You're a punk.
You are a punk.
There's a picture of a gun.
This guy's posted a picture of a gun.
This is the other way about it.
This is Chris McKinney.
This is anarcho-capitalist Chris McKinney.
And on top of that, he's also a father and a husband.
Wow.
He lives in North Carolina.
Whoa.
And he hates laws.
He's probably the only husband in North Carolina.
More about him, he likes Irish whiskey or single malt.
Sure.
And he likes to help the homeless.
Oh, that's nice.
That's cool.
But he's an anarcho-capitalist.
Right.
So he's probably like, get good.
Yeah.
You guys suck.
You're so bad at the market.
He has questions.
He knows about bisexuality.
Jeremy, please let us read his answer on the original.
All right.
I just like his question, which reindeer was the meanest to Rudolph?
I don't know why that's so funny to me.
They were all pretty mean to him.
Yeah.
They called him Glow Nose.
I want the weird hair was so mean to him.
And he has such a stupid haircut.
Well, it's like it's a Gen Z haircut.
I watched it for the first time this Christmas.
That was a fucking gang.
Yes, the reindeer gang.
You know what I mean?
Like that kind of haircut, like the new Draco Malfoy has that haircut.
The new Draco Malfoy is the old one, buddy.
No.
Oh, the one on the TV show one.
Yeah.
Well, they brought the old one back to a play.
And he was like, I just love J.K. Rowling so much.
Right.
And I'm Draco Malfoy.
he kind of he's living up to his character in that i know i know um anyway chris mckinney says
if you think fighting fair has any place in a street fight you're doing it completely wrong
then a picture of a gun and of a knife and of bullets little knife and then he says above is
a picture of one of my street fighting kits what is fair by the way great uh great picture to post
as a guy who like clearly has not had to use any of these things or would be like they're gonna
find me for my murders can you read his his little uh job here happily married to the woman of my
dreams literally i like this what do you think that means to be literally married to the woman
of your dreams well if you're around her yeah if you're around someone all the time you're kind of
they end up in your dreams oh okay they end up doing stuff like um they they'd steal your wallet
you ever dream about me alex yeah nice every night actually you're the woman of my dreams i'm talking
about dry dreams come on man your body is a wonderland i hope you don't give me covid i don't
have covid so i won't um most of the comments here are uh saying no that you should not fight
fair they're saying it doesn't make you a punk yeah which i don't think is true i think you're
not supposed to fight fair but also it that that makes you a punk yeah i mean i'm sorry no one is
saying the honorable bushido blade follower is is a punk this guy is what you're saying bob
brogdon says you may be a punk but there are no rules for street exactly bob brogdon there's no
rules not to sound like bob brogdon here hey there are no rules hey brogdon what do you think
you think i'm a punk so brogdon actually he seems like one of the people on quora who's like
all i do is karate every day and then i go home and go on quora yeah he's like actually extremely
dope his bio says at the top nidon kudo kan judo san murukoku miriam maru jujitsu so those are both
japanese yeah he's so fucking dope he's the most japanese white boy to ever do it two years ago he
posted a man knocked at my door and asked for a donation to the community pool so i gave him a
glass of water let's go dog that fucking rules there's a story there there's a story there it's
a good one now don't ever try to throw him over your shoulder because you'll have a hard time
doing it let's do another one street survival are brazilian jujitsu and the game of chess
conceptually the same now what do you do in chess chess you mostly fight people well you destroy the
king oh i see how is a related question you see the related questions which one yeah the real the
top related question of this was how could the sandy hook elementary school massacre have been
prevented i think now we know it's brazilian jiu-jitsu which is very similar to chess
check don't click on it don't click on it i've eliminated all the pawns because i'm mentally ill
well i don't think they're a knight christ it's not very likely they're a bishop jeremy oh they
could have become queens they yeah they if they made it across the board oh that's brutal see
how many of them actually make it across a damn board it's not very likely well what brazilian
jiu-jitsu and jess they're basically the same thing it's brazilian jiu-jitsu what i know about
it is that you really have to just
memorize openings. Once you get
to the highest level, it's a lot about
memorizing openings, whether it's the French,
the Italian, the Karo-Kan.
It's a solved game as well.
That's like my name almost.
That's right. The Klero-Kan.
The Klero-Kan opening.
Where you eat walnut.
At the highest level, all Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
ends in draw.
I think that's true.
It's a lot of rote memorization, and also you got to roll through the arm bar.
As someone who's played chess his whole life, it's so funny to me that chess is like a stand-in
for smart person in movies and TV, because they clearly don't understand the rules of
it.
It's very silly.
Also, isn't chess, if it's that similar to Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kind of just a lot about
you're kind of like a closeted gay guy?
I don't know about that.
You want to touch as many guys as possible, so you're playing chess all the time?
I don't know about that.
Okay.
I don't know about that.
I was going to say it's both for dorks.
Hey.
Well, it's actually the human chess match.
It's very sophisticated.
Claire, stop it.
Oh, my God.
She's being ganged up again.
She's doing her threatening hands again.
I learned how to do that in third grade.
I don't feel safe at my workplace at the Quarators podcast.
There's a gang member here.
She keeps doing her sign at me.
What would your gang sign be, Alex?
Don't ask me that.
My gang sign?
Come give me a hug.
Give you a big hug.
How about that?
Okay, let's read this answer.
Oh, is my gang sign boring?
Hey, Alex, improvise a gang sign.
How about that?
Mine would be like this.
Oh, that's cool.
That's the super S.
It's like a backwards F, S, or whatever.
I'm sorry your brain's all clogged up, Alex, from your Medicare.
Yeah, I chained it.
I can't just think of a gang sign just like that.
Apparently not.
I'm focused on my job at the content factory.
Read this comment from Shane McMillan.
I'm not doing the voice again.
No, this one, I think this one is German.
I don't think he's German.
I think he's German.
He sounds a lot like the other guy, but name-wise.
Okay, Shane says, think of it like this.
I make a move and it forces your hand
compelling you to react not only to protect your
pieces but also to preserve your freedom of
movement across the board just as in a grappling
match. Once I achieve positions
like side control, closed
guard, back mount,
or top mount, your possible directions
are severely limited.
My job as the attacker is to understand those
limitations and to exploit them with well-placed
traps. Now I'm going to pause here and say
this sounds a bit like trading card
cards.
Something I know quite well.
You've activated my trap Brazilian jiu-jitsu move.
And now I'm all on board.
This is such a long answer, and it is not going to be fun.
It's not, buddy.
It's just dumb.
It's just really the fact of the matter is it's the same thing.
It's the human chess match.
One of the coolest sports of all time is chess boxing.
Do you guys know about this?
That's where you play chess and box.
You do a round of each, right?
So it's like a round of one minute of chess
and then, like, two minutes of boxing and back and forth
until either someone is knocked out or checkmated.
That's brutal, man.
It sounds really cool.
Two minutes is such a long time of boxing.
I don't know the actual count, the time constraints.
It might be one minute.
I don't know.
But the idea is that, like, you have to get your heart rate pumping,
pumping, pumping, and then you got to, like, slow it down
and play fucking chess in a boxing ring.
Also, you're really hurt.
Someone's beating your face, and you're like,
oh, my bishop moves to B4.
It's a YouTube-ass sport.
People do it a lot on YouTube, it's true.
this is like uh this is like when they do the medieval weapon combat
no that shit rules though it's extremely cool i've been following a lot of tiktokers recently
who are like buying a bunch of medieval armor and weapons i think it's so it looks like the
most dangerous thing i've ever seen when they do it like i don't think there's a safe way to
attack someone with a lance no those things are very dangerous yeah well the medieval time was
not like super chill good luck to them let's move to our next gang question there's some really
All right, go to the romance one, please,
because we are running out of time.
I want to make sure that we get to this.
Oh, these are good.
These are our love questions.
These are our romantic questions.
Let's start a game, or as I call it, a family.
I've fallen in love with a gang member.
What do I do now?
Now, I really like the first answer here.
From the freaking bots?
From the AI?
No, no.
from anonymous number one get real real number two set healthy boundaries also perfect use of
numbers yeah two out of two there why that then two we love that not three with eight bullet
points that are quotes uh this is still by anonymous as a wife of an ex-gang member i say
that the first thing you need to do is be totally honest with yourself and set healthy boundaries
You know, I was going to make fun of her for giving out so many details under her anonymous
account, but she's probably anonymous because she's the ex-wife of a gang member who might
be killed.
Yeah, make your Quora anonymous if you're going to do that.
Take some time, at least a few days, and figure out what the things are you value in your
life.
What do you want to do with your life?
And what do you want and need in your relationship?
What are deal breakers for you?
Is being murdered one of them?
That's not in there.
I added the murdered one.
He added that.
He's a liar.
He added that.
Then write them down.
be honest with yourself then it's time to be honest to him let him know where your boundaries
are and uh and have a deep honest conversation with him if he's willing and able to respect
those boundaries or not then you judge him by his actions if he's true to his word or not words are
cheap and only his actions speak on this matter my husband former high-ranked gang member has
always been true and real with me when it comes to his gang life that's nice he told me he had
to choose one me or the gang as if he was in a gang i would always come second and i'd end up
Hurt physically or emotionally or both.
It was only a matter of time.
That's so funny.
Me and my husband in our cashew relationship, I said, me or the Blu-rays.
But your house is full of them.
So what was it?
We had to make a compromise.
Now you're just roommates and the Blu-rays are there?
Yeah.
There is something very funny about this guy being like, if it comes to you and the gang, I'll always pick the gang.
well honestly and this is just real gang life but like i think just the day-to-day gang interactions
are like oh this guy's gonna kill me i gotta do more gang stuff and it's gonna be hard to be like
no my wife said go get groceries today so that's what i'm doing we haven't had a date night in a
while even though louis pachone lives there we're still gonna go out to the fancy restaurant
who's louis pacione he's my arch rival it's someone else in the game we're star-crossed
enemies if it ain't lucky louis lucky louis pacione uh you can never change him i have to
write this anonymous for obvious security reasons is that what you want for your future
no matter if he's ex-gang member or president anyway i just like to start with get real
get real real he's in a gang i fell in love with a gang member while in federal prison this was
not intentional that's really funny wait how did that even happen probably it's like a co-ed prison
you know if you were gonna fall in love with a gang member prison is kind of a place to do it
isn't it she's a lady and he's a man what gang member is going to a co-ed federal prison right
is that a thing progressive gang members gang members really liberal parents you know what i
don't know that much about uh gangs or prison so yeah it shows despite doing this podcast what
for around three years happy birthday quarators say it back oh yeah it is actually about three
years oh yeah happy birthday give us money happy birthday quarators alex has a baby it's my
birthday have a baby and she loves content she does love content we're friends and i was there
to be the voice of support eventually it turned into more he is my best friend he has always told
me the truth no matter what he's been in prison for 12 years his gang is prison affiliated almost
two years ago he dropped and had to be moved uh i've seen this man go from a hard-headed gang
member to a man soon he'll be out in a few months and we'll be physically together i've made uh
i've made is very clear what kind of life i want what i will not accept with and that i'm with him
because i want to be not because i have to be so she did the like i can change him
meme but she did it and she's never posted again i'm sure she's doing great shout out to tasha
Tashra, we love you and we support you.
I bet you are alive.
Let's do this final gang romance question.
The other one in for romance.
What's it like to date a thug?
Whoa, I didn't know you could write in all bold font.
You sure can.
Bold and italics.
We have an answer nine years ago by Janae Lynn.
That would all depend on several things.
This is all bolded.
Not all thugs act the same.
and in my experience most thugs are wannabes they pretend to act hard and tough but deep down it's
all an act and if dating a thug would mean putting yourself at risk of getting in trouble illegal
activities most thugs do not respect women and you'd probably be treated with disrespect but
no one can give you a good answer because not all thugs behave the same now i just want to say there
are some great thugs out there who respect women this really is the hate that you give which makes
them into a thug you're listening to that so think about that you ever think about that why
are gangsters so attractive to women is a related question where do you have an answer it's all the
blu-rays it's all the damn blu-rays that they own you ever date a thug claire by the way an
improv troupe is a game i kind of did did you actually did you okay i mean names dates he like
locations i guess he he sold drugs i guess if that's like a thuggy thing to do yeah did he
carry a gun no but i think he had one okay and this was in like high school no all i remember
is that did he teach you the hand symbol no i learned that from the hand symbol okay he uh all
i remember is that he had very you know the he's like um he had sort of jd vance eyes where it's
It looks like he's wearing eyeliner, but he's not.
Oh, a smoky eye.
Thick, beautiful eyelashes.
Oh, yes.
Kind of like the demon gaze of the caucus.
Yeah.
I was going to say Thomas from Pandejo time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was thinking of Stalin.
He told us that he has been told he has beautiful eyes.
He does have beautiful eyes.
He does.
He was over here complaining about that from that story,
but the fact is your eyes are majestic, dog.
You have beautiful eyes, Thomas.
I could paint you for years.
It's pendejo time.
That's another podcast.
It's one you love.
It's full of thugs.
I don't think I know what a thug is anymore.
I feel like these days it's mostly just used as a racist term when someone kills a black person.
I know, but it's...
But is there like a real term?
Is there like an actual meaning for it outside of that?
Yes, it's when you're in a gang and you're a foot soldier probably.
A man who acts violently, especially to commit a crime.
Well, look at that.
Synonyms.
Goon.
Now, I think goon is very different than thug.
Claire, have you ever dated a goon?
Yeah.
I dated a gooner, let me tell you.
I dated lots of gooners.
I feel like goon to me is like a guy who's fighting Batman.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Someone who is employed by the Riddler.
It's never goon, because he's positive.
No.
you're a total goon and i mean that the best ways if i think of a goon the only thing i'm
thinking of them saying is like you think the penguin's gonna pay us this time hey where you
think you're going you know stuff like that uh-huh well well well oh no it's the bat
who's this clown yeah it's pretty good halloween's a little early this year isn't it
that's classic good baby yeah i've been doing that voice a lot this episode but it's kind of
a gang voice yeah you've also been doing uh irish yeah it's true which is also and white thug and
white thug hello we've learned so much today do we want to do a listener question yeah let's pull
one up is that okay please call in with your original quora based comments and uh requests
and then we will play them on the show and we will do our best to answer them and we want to
hear from you the listeners by call in of course we mean email us a voice note at
sorry everybody i leashed the beast if you've never done it maybe do it yeah maybe do it for
once what are you too busy why don't you come in and ask us personal questions and then we'll
answer them do you guys listen to the lonely island podcast ever no they've been doing something on
it that i want to steal where they just send the zoom link to their friends and see who picks up
oh that's interesting it's really good i don't think anyone's ever going to pick up a random
they got jonah hill to do it right oh that's also a good way to unlock your celebrity friends you
have from being a famous person oh yeah exactly oh i can probably use that from all of my fame
um anyway let's play the question hi creators the incans used to carry around mummified kings
in like an undead political campaign do you think we should do that with presidents have
undead president biden and undead president trump in an internal war after death thanks
carry their heads around i do think this would be a problem because you know that like republicans
would be fucking they'd have ronald reagan's severed head on like a stick and they'd carry
it to everything it'd be so annoying yeah well they admire their heads more who would we have
as loving
Democrats. Democrat heads.
As big demos.
Jimmy Carter's head.
He got so old first too.
So it's going to be like real old.
It's going to really just
it has all of the 1970s
inside of it.
You can't keep it in the sun too long.
You really just have to keep Jimmy Carter's
head moving.
This would be a good way to establish
a religious faithfulness
to your political movement.
Which I feel we are missing here on the American center left.
And I would like to carry Joe Biden's head around and we can use that whenever.
So, like, I frankly don't think he's going to notice.
Let's go take it from him and we'll have it.
He ain't using it.
He ain't using it, folks.
You can just walk around with him now and be like, this is my guy.
I'd love to get some Joe Biden head.
My fucking boy.
And he'll be like, where am I?
Head from a Joe Biden goes crazy.
Head from a Joe Biden got me like, ooh.
A he, they, Joe Biden.
Is that anything?
I'm sick.
A he, they, Joe Biden.
It's something.
It's really good, Jeremy.
It's really good.
And the podcast.
And that's been the show.
It's another episode of Quarators here,
recorded live at
Nickelodeon Studios in Atlanta,
Georgia. We have so much fun
sliming each other and getting slimed.
And if you're not sliming, you better be
getting slimed because it's a slime or get slimed
world. Thank you for
listening. I love you so much.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
