“Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver examined MyPillow CEO and top Donald Trump ally Mike Lindell’s online marketplace, MyStore, and ended up quite literally beating meat over what he found.
In a web exclusive released Sunday, Oliver highlighted some of the stranger items listed on the conspiracy theorist’s site, including Trump-branded honey, pet toys scented like a dog’s backside and decorative fire extinguisher covers.
But it was a utensil called the Whackerspoon that most grabbed his attention.
Oliver aired a promo video of the tool being used to tenderize meat, before riffing:
“I 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 ‘meat whacking video handjob only’ on their taxes explain that what they did wasn’t actually porn?”
Oliver went on to suggest that “for all of Mike Lindell’s many, many, many, many, many faults,” he is actually “the manifestation of the American dream,” going from addiction to a businessman but, the host then cracked, who also “undermined confidence in a national election, all while hawking some of the worst pillows in the history of humanity.”
“It is Lindell’s tenacity that has led to him building a truly insane store that throws everything at the wall to see what sticks,” Oliver said.
Oliver wrapped with a review:
“If I could take anything away from our experience of looking into MyStore, I guess it would be two things: one, Lindell’s blind optimism that drives him to take big swings. And two, exactly $74.95 back because this right here just wasn’t worth it.”
Oliver then produced his own Whackerspoon and used it to beat some meat.
