0:00.0	So, Burdo, I thought about calling this episode the psychology of QAnon, but I'm terrified
0:06.4	that it'll attract too many people on the internet that we're not interested in interacting with.
0:12.2	So, I'm going to call this episode the psychology of a certain contemporary conspiracy theory.
0:18.8	What do you think? That's fine. I did a video a while back and that I think I entitled it the
0:25.2	madness of crowds because I didn't want to call out a specific crowd. Yeah. I totally understand.
0:33.3	If you name it that it will immediately pile on a whole set of. Yeah. Which is the direct
0:40.4	opposite of what good content producers are supposed to do. You're supposed to have click, click,
0:45.6	betty thing. So, in this episode, this is going to be a long one. My notes are long and this could
0:52.8	be like a three hour episode, Burdo. Could it be a 13 hour marathon? So, you got to strap yourself
0:58.2	because I want to talk about QAnon. I want to talk about the history of QAnon even before QAnon

1:15.9	told you we should do an episode months and months ago? And you were like, I don't know what that is.
1:21.2	And I don't want to know. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'll get into that too. I want to talk about our own
1:26.0	experiences, our own kind of path. Obviously, you do about it way before I did. Sadly, well, I don't
1:31.3	know if it's sadly. I knew about it before you, but I didn't realize how long it had been brewing.
1:37.0	Yeah. That's the thing that shocked me. I want to talk about what do they believe? Because the benefit
1:43.1	of this deep dive that I did was I finally just figured out what it is that they believe. And I
1:50.0	only scratched the surface because I've been avoiding it. Anyway, what do they believe? Why do they
1:56.4	believe? There's another question we were going to explore. The other question is who is QAnon?
2:02.1	Exactly. Also, what crimes have been committed by QAnon extremists or terrorists, if you will,
2:09.2	believers. Should we be afraid? And what can we do? And I want to go into, like, full on
