The Midterm Election Conspiracy Theory Preview (E394)
Travis has prepared a real treat for us today in the form of a three-piece collection of stories regarding conspiracies surrounding the upcoming midterm elections. From people legally working on voting machines accused of corruption, to Jake spontaneously confessing to childhood lies, to a man who can pick out a counterfeit ballot with just a quick whiff, we get a peek at many ways brains will melt in the coming weeks.

I have nothing important to contribute, but I’m a school assessment coordinator and literally setting up a Scranton ACT test for tomorrow for my high school as they brought it up and I think that’s just neat.
Matthew McConaghey won't run because no one can spell it. That is my tiny consolation for the day.
I feel PHYSICALLY attacked by this ep outro!
If they are still so fixated on Soros how is Maga deling with the fact that Scott Bessent is a former Soros' trader.
It never happened and he's not a queeya either.
Scan-tron trauma is REAL. 🤣 I can fill out those rectangles perfectly, like a motherf*cker!
well brazil has basically the perfect voting system. everyone votes on a sunday and at 9pm there’s the result. they still claimed that it was stolen in 2022 and tried to coup and will do it again this time if they lose. it really doesnt matter if the system is that good or not
O BRASIL É DOS BRASILEIROS 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Aargh, McC was selling a life coaching course with the gurus of grift last year. The odious Tony Robbins among others. Matthew calls it Art of Livin' (YES, not "living", but "livin' " Cuz droppin' that final "g" shows yer aw-then-tic.)
The america hanging on by a thread had me laughing and crying at the same time. Thank you
Can we just have an entire series of Jake's stories and scripts? Please?
Jake is a real Krang
Julian is Raph Travis is Leo Jake is Mikey Liv is Donnie Annie is April Brad is Splinter Jack is Casey Jones Jim Watkins is Krang’s suit. Just the suit. I know I am missing some …
I’m a poll worker in PA and this shit drives me insane. If these people saw the 10,000 hoops we go through to ensure secure voting.. well shit they probably wouldn’t care
As a McConaugheynian independent, QAA is my favorite balanced podcast. I love listening to this social democrat talk to a frustrated leftist and his median voter liberal friend.
So flash drive duscourse. So, these election workers using a usb drive for software is cheating, yet the literal DOJ mailed a fuggin flash drive to election officials in California to "update" their electoral software to purge the 11 of 20,000 "suspected" "illegal voters"..... So, by the monolithic, concrete baby-thinking properties of maga, either all flash drives are cheats, or none are. Fvcking pick a gd lane. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Matthew McConaughey is a moron. No one asked so if you’re going to add your hat in the political discourse, why in the love of anything sacred would you muddy the waters with your bs opinions that have no substance? Like just shut up?
Michelangelo in the streets, Raphael in the sheets
True the Vote must be their version of Rock the Vote ☑️
There are actors who are great because they bring their own humanity and experience and point of view to a role, they are storytellers, and then there are actors that are great because they bring nothing whatsoever, they are empty vessels through which the director can channel their vision and onto whom the audience can project their ideas and aspirations. I’m never shocked when a big star turns out to be dumber than a sack of hammers but being a Joe Manchin guy is pretty embarrassing.
Please someone in America give her a chance!
civic duty? civic doodie
Always love when the whale anecdote comes back to the pod
I hate all those people clipped so much, every time they start talking I'm immediately saying to myself "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU COMPLETE MORON" 🤮
I used to game on an air-gapped computer bc all my shit was 100% pirated, so maybe Jake is actually a genius actually. He’s just saving a lot of money and not giving Ubisoft a single cent ever bc he’s cool and smart actually.
And here I am just huffing ballots for huffing’s sake
I told a heap of lies in elementary school too, Jake. It got so bad, my mom gave me a special “story” hat to put on when I wanted to spin some fiction or another.
It's so awesome to be a child and legitimately think 'yeah, I tricked this adult'. It was anyway.
Jake is a total Michelangelo
jakey is absolutely a mikey!!
This episode is tightly produced and shows these dudes at their best
Is this Corey’s mom?
Whenever I vote, I take pride in filling in the little circles or squares or whatever very slowly and perfectly… hilarious to hear this guy getting bent out of shape to see ballots filled out TOO well
Yesss jake and corey get it!! Getting our enrichment!
Is Travis' signoff the biggest canary of our time? He is finally making me nervous
You know it’s going to be a good pod when Julian implicates himself in a crime in the first 2 mins
Did someone just now start getting into TPB? I feel like that's the second mention in 2 weeks. Please don't be like Bubbles, did you not hear about the charges against Mike Smith? So sad that they were dropped because from everything I read he's the biggest shitbag, which is too bad because Bubbles was such an endearing character
America has never been hanging on by a thread here
The worse my government gets the better my podcasts get… I think I’m coming out on top
The revalation of Cunt Dracula and Dead Bart S. will help American Democracy hang on by a threadier. I don't think these ever showed up after the spectral voyager episode?
Wow wow wow
Hoo boy… here we go.
