“POISON!” - Palantir, Afghanistan’s SICK Secret & Deadliest Preacher | Fat Electrician & VWAS • 446
Julian Dorey · 10 Jul 2026 · 3h 28m
Guest: Fat Electrician · Host: Joey Def, Julian Dorey
This episode brings together three guests connected to online veteran comedy and content — a comedian-electrician known as the Fat Electrician, a creator called Veteran with a Sign, and a co-host tied to a group comedy tour called Unsubscribe — for a wide-ranging, often profane conversation. Early stretches cover life on comedy tours, the strange psychology of grocery chains like Aldi, corporate dysfunction after leaving military service, and New Jersey's gas-pumping law. The talk moves into politics: complaints about career politicians who never held real jobs, a defense of a friend labeled a neo-Nazi online for covering historical firearms, arguments that Social Security functions like a Ponzi scheme, and proposals for voting restrictions tied to citizenship, taxation, or civil service. Agricultural policy comes up too, with claims about glyphosate, corn subsidies, and RFK Jr.'s reported interest in laser-based pest control. The back half turns personal and military-focused — deployments to Afghanistan, a graphic combat-zone anecdote that became a recurring bit in the guests' live shows, disturbing claims about abuse witnessed among Afghan military counterparts, and a long biographical account of a World War II-to-Vietnam veteran nicknamed the fighting preacher. The conversation closes on ibogaine and psychedelic-assisted therapy for combat trauma, VA policy shifts under the current administration, and how the guests built their platforms from cardboard signs and TikTok videos into full-time creative careers. Throughout, the tone is casual, jokey, and unfiltered, mixing dark humor with sincere reflection on service, loss, and institutional failure.
