0:00.0	May's I mean, I kind of feel like the Illuminati brand is strong, but it can get even stronger.
0:06.0	We've already talked about football Illuminati. It's just another football Illuminati thing,
0:10.4	football Illuminati. By the way, coming soon. Keep your third eye open for that one.
0:14.0	Fishing Illuminati. No! Fishing Illuminati. Get hooked. Oh my god. Tell me more. I need to hear
0:23.9	about this. Over the weekend, I mean, there is a fishing scandal in Lake Erie that is amazing.
0:32.3	The walleye competition where apparently hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent
0:38.9	by the competitors to get the biggest fish in Lake Erie. And it spans over like weeks. But basically

1:54.2	There's been a conspiracy going on for quite a while with these two. And believe it or not,
