Some aspiring spy in the This Past Weekend fandom is going to be really confused when their first mission is an audition for a DraftKings commercial.
Despite having a direct line to both the President and the Vice President, Manosphere darling Theo Von continues to prove that he has the political instincts of someone who thinks that the justices of the Supreme Court show up to work wearing $400 hoodies. To be fair, Von has never portrayed himself as a public intellectual, but the platform he wields on his podcast is a cornerstone of the conservative new media machine, leading to some of the greatest (unintentional) comedy moments of Von's career.
While discussing the state of the country on The Joe Rogan Experience earlier this week, Von told a story about a revealing trip he took to Los Angeles, California, one in which a construction worker with loose lips and a surprisingly high-level security clearance let it slip that he was building numerous floors of office space for the CIA in one of the central districts of the entertainment industry.
Almost immediately, every Twitter-user with even a passing knowledge of Los Angeles and/or show business chimed in to inform Von that the private sector has its own three-letter agencies:
Creative Arts Agency, LLC does, in fact, have its headquarters a stone's throw away from the Westfield Century City mall, and the multi-billion-dollar talent agency is currently in the process of relocating to a new building across the street. The entertainment industry colloquially refers to CAA's current location, where the power brokers have resided since 2007, as "The Death Star," a nickname that could very well give Von the impression that the head of the American intelligence community is Emperor Palpatine.
Clearly, either Von misheard his construction buddy, or the worker both misinterpreted his boss' instructions and had never studied the case of Chelsea Manning before he mouthed off about these top-secret government plans to the first podcaster he came across. Of course, it's just like both Von and Rogan to take this literal Arrested Development plotline at face value, as the two most unserious political commentators on the planet will believe any conspiracy that makes Hollywood look even sketchier than it already is.
For the sake of our democracy, dumbasses like Von and Rogan should be legally required to do a cursory Google search on any subject they discuss before spouting off laughably unfounded political hot takes to millions of impressionable listeners/voters. However, in the interest of unintentional comedy gold, I hope that Von never figures out his mistake and, the next time he talks to Andrew Schulz, he asks his fellow podcaster when he became a government spook.
