That Q-anon lies and deception are in official government documents is all the proof we need that we come from idiot monkey men.

2024-04-11 12:48:32 +0000 UTCI have been to one time share presentation, and that salesman was GOOD! I went for the free cruise thinking I could endure wasting 2 hours of my life for a 5 day cruise. Had zero interest in a time share. By this time the guy was done, I was thinking "this night actually be worth considering." They even had audience members (plants, I assume) who raised their hands to sign up. I quickly dismissed the idea but with the way they pitch it I could definitely see someone who was even vaguely interested going in falling for it. The guy came over to my table and I said "Not interested. I'm just here for the cruise." This was followed by a high pressure sales pitch where I said "not interested. I'm just here for the cruise" 3 more times before he finally gave me my vouchers. Only after reading the vouchers did I find out about the blackout dates and all the fees that added up to more than what it would cost me to just go online and pay for a crises. NEVER again! It's a fucking scam just to go to the presentation.

2024-04-11 11:35:08 +0000 UTCSorry to be that guy, but I've heard twice on this show now that Easter Eggs are from a pagan ritual or something like that. They really aren't. Eggs were given out as gifts after fasting during Lent or w/e the hell it was called, because they kept well and were seen as a good food to break fast with. Apparently. Easter rabbits come from hares in France. Apparently these hares can get pregnant again while they are already pregnant, so that's just like the Virgin Mary if you think about it. Look, I'm NOT making this up, I know it sounds crazy. Dan McClellan, who's been on your show, breaks it down: https://youtu.be/L6J8fikGt0s
