Transcript excerpt

Could you imagine being in the developmental stages of building a card game called the Illuminati Tier World Order? And not only does the Secret Service raid your headquarters and steal all of your equipment and hard drives, but they also raid the home of your lead game designer. Yeah. That actually happened with Stephen Jackson Games, and the name of the game designer was Lloyd Blankenship. Go look this up. What do you mean? Like, why is the Secret Service defensive over Illuminati information? You no, that's just really weird. That's really weird. Anyways, this is my driver. You know how the one that predicted enough is enough Charlie Kirk being killed by a sniper? Oh, yeah. Also, like, Adrina Chrome. Oh, also, like, the Pentagon and the Twin Towers. Oh, and also the epidemic. Oh, let me just keep going. You no, just silly, silly.
