\u201cLast Week Tonight\u201d host John Oliver examined MyPillow CEO and top Donald Trump<\/a> ally Mike Lindell<\/a>\u2019s online marketplace, MyStore, and ended up quite literally beating meat over what he found.<\/p>\n

In a web exclusive released Sunday, Oliver highlighted some of the stranger items listed on the conspiracy theorist\u2019s site, including Trump-branded honey, pet toys scented like a dog\u2019s backside and decorative fire extinguisher covers.<\/p>\n

But it was a utensil called the Whackerspoon that most grabbed his attention.<\/p>\n

Oliver aired a promo video of the tool being used to tenderize meat, before riffing:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to ask, given the expertly-styled nails of the person using the whackerspoon, did they hire a hand model for that? How does someone who has to write \u2018meat whacking video handjob only\u2019 on their taxes explain that what they did wasn\u2019t actually porn?\u201d<\/p>\n

Oliver went on to suggest that \u201cfor all of Mike Lindell\u2019s many, many, many, many, many faults,\u201d he is actually \u201cthe manifestation of the American dream,\u201d going from addiction to a businessman but, the host then cracked, who also \u201cundermined confidence in a national election, all while hawking some of the worst pillows in the history of humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is Lindell\u2019s tenacity that has led to him building a truly insane store that throws everything at the wall to see what sticks,\u201d Oliver said.<\/p>\n

Oliver wrapped with a review:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I could take anything away from our experience of looking into MyStore, I guess it would be two things: one, Lindell\u2019s blind optimism that drives him to take big swings. And two, exactly $74.95 back because this right here just wasn\u2019t worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oliver then produced his own Whackerspoon and used it to beat some meat.<\/p>\n
