1. Opening Banter: Millennial Aging, Consumer Tech & Mild Generational Panic

[00:01–04:25]

• Funny Domestic Drama:
  Jake (A) shares a tongue-in-cheek story about “fake fighting” with his wife over buying a new TV, rationalizing the purchase with jokey complaints about declining eyesight:

  • “It's either that or the text in the video games is getting smaller and I just can't read it.” (Jake, 00:20)
  • He debates the value of bifocals and blue light protection after a visit to LensCrafters, eventually admitting to “wishing” he'd accepted them (00:23–01:44).
  • He triumphantly announces that his wife has changed her mind after using an OLED TV at a friend’s:
    • “She’s seen the light. And so I’ve got green light… the Christmas present to myself. Well, the Hanukkah present to myself in this case.” (Jake, 01:46)

• Aging & Video Games:

  • Jake vented about frustration with Destiny 2’s complicated menus and social features:
    • “I’m just figuring this out… There’s only so much that I can do. And I started to feel like maybe games were like starting to phase me out.” (Jake, 03:52 & 04:15)
  • Travis (B) riffs about Millennials being “unked out” of modern gaming by ultra-dedicated players.

2. Main Segment Intro: “Alien Ant Farms & Space Communists”

[04:58–05:43]

• Setting the Stage:
  Jake welcomes listeners to Episode 315, setting the tone:
  • “If you’re hearing this, well done. You found a way to connect to the Internet. … Alien ant farms and space communists.” (Jake, 04:58)
  • References the flood of “former government contractors” on Reddit—especially a supposed “energy weapons specialist” warning of “the upcoming beam war against the ants.”

---

3. “Disclosure” Mania & Why Alien Conspiracies Resonate

[05:43–07:36]

• What is Disclosure?

  • Travis (B) asks for clarification; Liv (C) provides the standard “UFO disclosure” explanation:
    • “The idea that… the government is corrupt and they're covering up the truth. It’s like we’re really—About what? About how aliens are real.” (Liv, 06:58)
  • Jake shares that even “normie” friends are texting about a hot new “Age of Disclosure” documentary and that, in some circles, alien disclosure is linked to religious ideas like the rapture.

• Aliens as a “Safe” Conspiracy

  • Travis jokes about the “aliens” question as being the “safest kind of edgy conspiracy theory,” comparing it to “the easy equivalent of when people are racist toward Italians” as something you can talk about without real consequences:
    • “It’s not quite like flat Earth… it’s kind of mystical, and like, I mean, maybe?” (Travis, 06:24)
  • Hosts note that aliens are unusual among conspiracies in being apolitical—people from all backgrounds are “yes-and-ing” the idea in group chats.
  • Liv: “Of all the things that could be, they could be corrupt about, you know, that one's—that one’s… not so bad.” (Liv, 07:04)
  • Jake observes alien conspiracies don’t “give away your politics,” unlike most conspiracy rabbit holes.

4. Space Communism, Posadism, and Reddit Rabbit Holes

[07:36–08:29]

• Viral Reddit Post:

  • Jake describes stumbling across a 7,000-word Reddit post gaudily upvoted; it alleges that “space communism is real and that is the real cover-up.”
  • Travis riffs on this being possible from the “very far left” or “very far right,” bringing up Jay Posadas—the Argentine Trotskyist who famously theorized that aliens would be communist.

• Promise of Storytelling:

  • Jake sets up the episode as “story time with Jake,” promising a dive into:
    • “Space communism. The ant aliens and the alleged Reddit whistleblower that is finally emerging from the shadows to tell us all about it.” (Jake, 08:23)

5. Premium Episode Tease & QAA Miniseries Rundown

[08:29–09:58]

Advertisements and Patreon plugs omitted as requested.

Memorable Quotes & Moments:

• On video games and aging:
  • “Menu within a menu within a menu. … Within like, which chat filter? Like, there’s only so much that I can do.” (Jake, 03:52)
• On aliens as political Rorschach:
  • “There's so many conspiracy theories that like a family member or friend could bring up, could bring up that would immediately tell you what their politics are. But aliens… I’ve got. I know both on, on political sides of the spectrum.” (Jake, 07:36)
• On the apolitical comfort of alien conspiracies:
  • “Of all the things that could be, they could be corrupt about, you know, that one's—that one’s… not so bad.” (Liv, 07:04)

Transcript

[A]

I've been kind of, like, fighting with my wife recently, but not fighting, but kind of fake fighting, you know, to like, keep the relationship, you know, to keep it funny about getting a new tv. Cause of all the, like, you know, Black Friday sales and stuff, and our TV is fine. I just want something, like, bigger because I think I'm going blind.

[B]

Oh, no.

[A]

It's either that or the text in the video games is getting smaller and I just can't read it. And so I've been talking about this, like, OLED technology. Like, oh, oh. I mean, this. What we've got is all tech and, like, we should be get the oled. And she's, you know, from the perspective, like. But this TV is fine. It's great, actually. It's one of the best TVs I've seen. There's nothing wrong with this one and I totally understand it. And really, I'm just like, oh, but I'm going blind. Like, I need that extra 5 inches or whatever just to be able to, like, see a little bit better.

[B]

You gotta get your eyes checked.

[A]

I went in recently and I got near. I got reading glasses, but now I'm worried that I. I should go in again.

[B]

Like, the dual ones for old people where it's like, half of it's far, half of it's near.

[A]

You know, the guy at LensCrafters, I'm sorry to plug a company, but that's where I went. The guy at LensCrafters offered that. He said I can do, you know, your slight prescription on the bottom, but. And then you. Bifocals? Is that what they're called?

[B]

I think so, yeah.

[A]

And all sorts of stuff. Blue light protection, you know, the works. And I was like, how long does that take to get used to, realistically, to be able to, like, look in one direction and it's like, good for one angle, but different direction for another angle. And he said, it usually takes, you know, about three months to adjust. And I went, uh, I ain't doing that work. And I didn't get them. And now I'm wishing that I had.

[B]

You should get two different glasses, too.

[A]

That's what I want. I want two different. To switch off, you know, for different occasions. But I just got a text. I just got a text from her as I was about to go. If you're hearing that, you know, to do the beginning. And she says, you can go ahead and get the tv. And it's because she's. She's staying with friends and they have the oled. And so she's she's seen the light. And so I've got. I've got green light for, you know, the. My. You know, the Christmas present to myself. Well, the Hanukkah present to myself in this case. So let's go. Okay, we can do that as, like, the cold open, and then we can start the. Then we can start the episode. We'll see if that works, Corey. We'll see if that's funny. Even though people always get mad and they're like, oh, I thought the episode was messed up. I redownloaded it from Patreon.

[B]

People love complaining because they paid for something. It's like the Karen Jean.

[A]

They paid for something. I was complaining last night. I was so. Okay, we'll still leave all this in because it's gonna be funny.

I was so mad. I got the Destiny 2, like, Star wars expansion because I'm so. That's such an elder millennial that I haven't played Destiny 2 in years. But I'm like, oh, but I can get the lightsaber.

[B]

Is there lightsabers in Destiny 2? Destiny 2. See?

[A]

See, you are unk. See, you're.

[B]

I am unknown. You're welcome. Yes.

[A]

And last night, I was being so mad because I couldn't figure out, like, how to go anywhere. And I was like. I was like, this is where video games. This is where the technology is, like, pass me by. Like, I can't figure out how to join up with another person. And, like, the mission is too hard. I'm getting killed on my own, but I can't figure out how to, like, invite another person. I did this, like, looking for group thing, and it found two guys. They were yelling at me in the chat. They were like, start the quest. Start the quest. And I couldn't. And I was so mad. I was, like, ready to write Bungie a letter. Being like, you got to make it. You got to make it easier to, like, use your products.

[B]

Yeah. It's always intimidating with those MMOs where it's like, there's a guy who's just like. He's been playing for, like, 12 hours a day, and he has, like, a dedicated bucket for when he has to. When nature calls, you know, he's just grinding, and they expect you to be as good as they are. And it's like, I'm just. I'm just figuring this out, man.

[A]

I couldn't even figure out how to, like, equip an ability. It was like a menu within a menu within a menu. I was just like, menu within menu within ui. Within hud, within, like lobby. Within social space. Within. I just, it was too much within, like, which chat filter? Like, there's only so much that I can do. And I started to feel like maybe games were like starting to phase me out.

[B]

Yes. You're getting unked out of the competitive multiplayer stuff.

[A]

I'm getting unked out.

Okay. And that'll be the cold open. And then it'll go.

If you're hearing this, well done. You found a way to connect to the Internet. Welcome to to the QAA podcast premium episode 315. Alien ant farms and space communists. As always, we are your hosts, Jake Rockatansky, Liv Aycar and Travis View.

[B]

Folks.

[A]

It's happening. With disclosure just over the horizon. All types of former government contractors are stepping forward to offer what they know on Reddit. This time it's a former energy weapons specialist warning us about the upcoming beam war against the ants. So I hope everyone is well.

[B]

I'm not following. I have no clue what's going on. This disclosure, which is the aliens disclosure, is aliens. Okay.

[C]

Yes. The idea that it's high time for the government to finally admit they know aliens are real. They've been hiding from us and they have secret alien technology and they knew it the whole time. They just have to admit it.

[A]

Why won't they admit it?

[B]

I see, I see.

[A]

And there's this documentary that I think hopefully if everything goes according to plan, we'll be doing an episode on very shortly called the Age of Disclosure that like even my normie friends are kind of texting about being like, wow. Like, wow, this is, it's really it. There's sort of a general consensus among the homies that like, disclosure is kind of on the horizon. And for one homie, like, that's also the rapture. I have a diverse group of friends.

[B]

I feel like aliens are like the safest kind of edgy conspiracy theory. It's like this safe, edgy equivalent of when people like are racist towards Italians. Yeah. Where it's like, well, no, this is the easiest way to do conspiracies without people being mad at you. Because it's like, well, that'd be cool, I guess is if aliens for real. And it's not quite like flat earth, which is like ridiculous. Like it's kind of mystical and like, I mean, maybe.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. There's no fighting in that group chat, oddly enough. There are no arguments. It's just kind of yes anding and like wows and couple like, you know, sort of eye open emojis and it's.

[C]

Also, it's like, it is kind of quaint. They say, like, it's like the government is corrupt and they're covering up the truth. It's like we're really.

[B]

About what?

[C]

About how aliens are real. It's like, oh, that's actually kind of nice. Of all the things that could be. They could be corrupt about. You know, that one's. That was, that was, that was not so bad.

[B]

Doesn't really show your politics. Yeah. You know, like, if you're like, oh, the government is lying about, like they actually have evidence of like minorities being inferior or something, it's like, well, I know this guy's politics. Wow. This is. There's only really one type of guy who can believe that that's a thing the government could 1 know and then 2 lie about. But aliens, it's like, I don't know. Yeah, maybe. Okay, okay.

[A]

There's so many conspiracy theories that like a family member or friend could bring up, could bring up that would immediately tell you what their politics are. But aliens. Yeah, I've got. I know both, I know both on, on political sides of the spectrum. So anyways, yes, this, this came from that same, that same group chat where, where I was asked to check out this Reddit post. And at first I was like, oh man, this is like. And, but then I saw how many upvot. There was like all of these comments and it was 7,000 words. So I was like, oh, I kind of, we kind of got to do an episode on this. And, and it basically alleges that space communism is real and that that is the real cover up.

[B]

True, I agree. Now, see, see, look, it can be. I, as I said, it could be very far left, very far right. It's hard to. Jay Posadas was a weird, like, Trotskyist, I think, who's Argentinian and he thought that, he thought that aliens were real and it was a part of his plan for communism, as far as I remember.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is, this is like that. So this is. Yeah, I know there's some people on the Patreon. Well, I know there's one person on the Patreon that I'm hyper focused on who's like, tired of Jake, like premium content. And like, we listen, we read all the comments, we're going to try to switch it up. But like, today is not that day. Today is story time with Jake and we're going to go deep into space communism. The ant aliens and the alleged Reddit whistleblower that is finally emerging from the shadows to tell us all about it. You've been listening to a sample of a premium episode of the QAA podcast.
