Hello, welcome to Buntavista episode 181. I am Dr. Theo and I am here to talk to you about the NQE sleep system. What if I told you that billions of people will use the NQE sleep system to catapult themselves into the day ahead, as if fired from a manganel or anonagia? You'd be pretty interested, right? But you might ask, Dr. Theo, are you a real doctor? Well, yes, I am a real doctor with a real PhD on siege weapons from the dark to early Middle Ages. And it was during this PhD, though, developed the NQE sleep system.

Well, stop teasing. What is the NQU sleep system, I hear you ask? NQU stands for, not quite enough sleep. Modern scientists are still discovering benefits to this system. Unlike other sleep systems which require you to get a full eight hours of sleep every night, all the NQE sleep system requires is for you to get six, six and a half hours each and every night. It's enough to get up and go to work each and every day, and the benefits are endless. You'll get an extra hour or two of scrolling on your phone mindlessly every night, decent cardiovascular health, and the feeling of never being fully awake or rested at any point in your entire fucking life. I'll give you an example.

So the other night, after dinner, and after putting my baby to sleep, I wanted to play some death-stranding. But I knew that I'd have to get up to soothe Finn several times throughout the night, and he'd also be awake at 5 am. This caused tension in my mind, like the action of a now defunct tension catapult, a holdover technology from the original Roman Empire. So how did I manage it? Well, I utilize the not quite enough sleep system to simply play death-stranding until 10 p.m. Then go to bed and scroll on my phone until finally falling asleep at

11 p.m. The system is simply that flexible, easy, and it will make you feel like shit every waking moment. I'm here with a couple of my customers, I'm not allowed to use the word patience since someone knocked me out to the AMA. Andrew, you're a professional with a full-time job, two young children and a podcasting commitment, yet you still find the time to watch every single movie ever released. How has the NQUE sleep system helped you? I'm sorry, what? Are you here? Yeah, so you're watching, okay, so you haven't, you've got all this stuff to do, you haven't slept enough, how does it, how is it helping you?

I guess, to be alive. Oh, it's, it's pretty good. I'm sorry, I was just looking at something on my phone. Yeah, I'm not sure why I started looking at it. No, and that is a benefit. You will learn to synthesize information from multiple sources at the same time. Yeah, and I'll catch up on even more of that at about 1245 a.m. tonight. And if you need a little extra rest time, just feel free to zone out like two-thirds of the way through this podcast as well and just stare at the wall for a bit. That's what I've been doing. And Ben, I know you've been using the NQE sleep system for years doing bar shifts at night but then getting up and jogging around the glorious Brisbane Riverfront at 8 a.m. How do you feel about not quite enough sleep. I used to sleep pretty okay, but then I

switch to the NQuee sleep system, which means that I get home at two in the morning after having closed the bar, and then I keep waking myself up throughout the entire note because I have sleep apnea but I can't be fucked using my machine. I feel like shit all the time. And I feel like a character in the movie waking life, not quite experiencing the things that I see and not being able to fully develop thoughts about them. It sounds like you're truly using the NQeeee-aaueueueueueueueueueueueueueueue. the the thuu. thu. thu. I thu. I thu. I thu. I thu. I thu-s, thu-s, thi thi. I thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. thi. I'm thi.

I th th th th th th th th th thi. t tttttttttttttttthauuu thau thau thau thau thau thau thu thu thu thu thu thu th truly using the NQUE sleep system to its greatest potential. And unlike the increasingly massive and complicated trebishas of the early middle ages, the NQUE sleep system doesn't require a team of engineers several days to employ. You can perform it yourself every night until the day you die tired. So send me money today. Welcome to Buonto Vista, you're here with the sleepy boys.

Ah, it's so good to be... Good to be partially alive. I don't want to get to, you know, we don't have to scrutinize that wonderful intro all that much. I just kind of have, I'm curious as to what came first, relating your experience as a new parent who's really not sleeping at the moment, or having the character relating that experience being an expert in siege weaponry. Well, so you see Ben, I'd been reading the Wikipedia pages to a lot of siege weaponry at the time. It's sort of that kind of wide net

that I cast every intro that I do that brings you these new and interesting combinations of things that I do. Yep and I love those. It's kind of like a character but sort of like a sort of like a exaggerated version of me. Oh you're sort of like the guys in the trip. Yeah, or like the girls in girls. Huh. Or Tim Heidecker in the comedian. Or the Neil Hamburger guy in, I'm sorry, the comedy, it's not called the comedian. Or the Neil Hamburger guy in that movie from the same guy that directed the comedy that's about a guy who is basically Neil Hamburger. I think it's called Neil Hamburger the movie.

Yep, and it's really fun. It's a lot of laughs. Be sure to check that one out. Theo, as a parent myself, let me just say there is relief inside. And you will potentially be having sporadic nights of unbroken sleep in as little as five years. So you can, you can look forward to that. That's my five-year plan is sleep. I know my five-year plan is also sleep, but I'm talking about the damn band. That's true. I'm still going to be listening to the same music in five years. I was going to say this is much more than a five-year plan. I was going to say this is much much much study that's like pretty much your your tastes in like film music all that kind of thing solidified by about the age 32 and I'm like well there's no way that

will happen to me. Yep and here you are listening to ocean size again. Oh boy. Listen to some new music again. New music or ocean size again. I feel like you have to stretch your brain to accommodate new music whereas listening to old music very easy and it's nice. And you know that you like it. Yeah. It's like slipping into a old, holy cum-stained pair of track pants. Yeah, that you enjoy because of the cub. Well, I feel like it's just there, but... It's part of the charm.

Part of the charm. So this is how I feel about movies, though. This is how I feel about, like, um... We know. Throwing on Mark Wahlberg's shooter week that are new that you haven't seen before. Yeah, yeah I guess so. Although I did also, I have been like going through and replacing older copies of movies with like nice crispy 1080P versions of stuff, you know. You got that Wonder Woman 1984 sitting there on your plex just got added, I saw that. No I don't. That's I log into that legitimately through HBO Max. Is that what you got to watch it on?? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? I I I I I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I guess I guess I guess I guess I guess I guess I guess I guess I guess. I th. I guess I guess I guess I guess I guess I guess I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

I guess. I th. I that. I th. I th. I that. No I don't. That's, I log into that legitimately through HBO Max?

Is that what you gotta watch it on? Yeah, let me tell you this. Not great, not great, Wonder Woman, 1984. You're absolutely certain that wasn't on your plex. I could have sworn I saw it on there. No, couldn't be me. That's the tha, tha, tha, tha, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, that, that, that, that, that, that, is that, is that, is that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thoo, thooooooo, thoooooooooooooooooooo, that's thoo, say now, I think. I don't know. I'm not really keeping up with that sort of thing. Wonder Woman, 1984, recently added. It's the fourth most recently added movie on Newerplex. I'm looking at it. Uh-oh.

Yep. Wonder Woman, 1984. Uh, they had the first movie and everybody said, wow. Strong, female-led action movie. Time to make 1983 more of these. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Wonder. th. Wonder. th. th. th. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. th. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder.

Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. Wonder make 1,983 more of these. Well, no, instead they said, What if Patty Jenkins' director of the first one, directed the second one, and also for some reason wrote the story in screenplay herself. And now in this movie, Wonder Woman's greatest enemy of all is not having a boyfriend.

That seems to be the main driver of plot. It's a tale about human connection. But also there's a lady that turns into a ferrie. Is that not also her enemy? Yeah, Kirstenwig comes into, does eventually turn into a CGI fairy. Hmm. That's pretty cool. Well, she's a fairy before and after the CGI. It's just out of the suit. I believe the CGI is her first suit. Yes, sorry, you're absolutely

right. The furry is a way of living, not necessarily. You're not just a furry while you're in the suit. Hey, here's another relatively new movie that I watched. Cats. I watched the musical cats. How high were you when you watched it? Very... and... And. Here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the, the, the th. It, th. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's, th. It's. It's. It's. It, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. It. It. It. It, th. It, th. It's. It's. It's. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's just. It's just, th. It's the theeeeeeeeeee. G. G. G. G. G. I, the. I, th. I, the the the th. I watched the musical Cats. How high were you when you watched it? Very. And so I watched it with Wife of the Show, my wife, Eleanor, because she loves musicals. I like musicals as well. I have no problem with a musical. This one, however, what the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? We did that screening of it for 2-bit where we did like a, you know, you're allowed to... you. You're to, you, you to watch to, you to, you to, you to, you to, you, you to, you to, you, you, you to, you to, you to, you, you to, you the that, you that, you're a that, you that, you're a that, you that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that. And, and that. And, and that, and that. And, and the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they they? And, that screening of it for 2-bit where we did like a, you know, you're allowed to yell shit at the screen, a rowdy screening if you will, a rowdy cats. And like it was fun enough, a lot of screaming happened, but

like also just watching it I just had a very strong feeling of being like this is just not bad in a fun way like it's not you're not laughing at the goofs you're just like oh oh the whole time you're watching it yeah these horrible beasts just thinking really you didn't so so like I said like I like musicals I like musical theater I think that these things fine and fun and everything I don't endorse that position but it's fine you don't have to yeah but like so so I was I was having the the I th the I th th th the I was I was I was having th th th th th the th th th th th th th th th th. I was having th. I was having th. I was having th. I was having th. I was having th. I was having th. I was having thi thi thi. I was thi. I was thi. I was thi. I was thi. thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the th. the th. th. th. th. thi. the the. thee. theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. the. the. the. the. I don't endorse that position, but... That's fine, you don't have to. Yeah. But like, so, so I was having the simultaneous problems while watching this of number one,

the sensory bombardment of the film itself, which is, for some reason, it's the same guy who directed the, the Le Miz adaptation with Hugh Jackman. And apparently there were like technical problems on that where he just said, hey, fuck it, let's just let you guys sing along to a little earpiece and I'll have the orchestra record their own backing to it later, which caused all kinds of issues. In this movie, he had some kind of similar problems where he said, I'm just going to get everybody to put on like morph suits

with some little motion capture things on. And then we will completely add in 100% of the fur-based costumes. We'll fix it in post. It's a real, we'll fix it in post movie. Everything. And the effect of it is just, it's the most uncanny valley thing I have ever seen and that includes the Wayan Brothers movie Little Man, where they spend the entire film superimposing Marlon Wayans' face onto a variety of different sized people. This, this has that effect because the superimposing Marlon Wayans's face onto a variety of different sized people.

This has that effect because the costumes, like they seem separate from the faces of the people that they're on, just terrifying stuff. The perspective and scale shifts constantly, like, you know, the cats will be sort of half the size of a queen-sized bed and then all of a sudden they're like dancing on railroad tracks as though they were 20 centimeters high. Just, just wildly bad stuff. But it's also very notable for being apparently the first movie where not only did they say, we'll fix it all in post-release.

Yeah, they patched it. They rolled out a patch. They patched that movie. They were like, oh, there's shots where like you can just see the missing. You can just see Judy Dencher's normal hands with a like a watch on, you know. Yeah, people were just looking at it and saying it just it just looks like it's not finished. You know it's weird just thinking about is how good a similar sort of thing that they had to do for the film Kung Pow came out. You know they're putting human faces under like 1970s martial arts film footage. This is in the early 2000s, seamless. So much better. So I was dealing with that, I was dealing with that happening to my brain, while also just

trying to follow along like the actual musical. And so I was just having my mind torn apart by watching this and also trying to follow the plot and realizing that this is a musical that has been extremely successful for decades and decades. Theatre people love cats. The entire... I turned to my wife at some point and said, am I correct in understanding that this entire musical is just a procession of cats coming out and explaining deep cat law to the audience? I would say even just introducing themselves. They introduce themselves and then they, in very confusing ways, sort of try to, I guess, what's going on, which is that

every now and then a cat gets chosen to like ascend to cat heaven? Yeah, based upon the personal properties of the cat? Yeah, so you come out and you say, hey, it's me, I'm the train cat. I have a soul by the way. And I wish to be released from this plane of existence immediately. I have done everything it could possibly offer me. Please let me go to cat heaven, please. So worst part of the movie is our country's own Rebel Wilson. Oh my god. No offense to Rebel Wilson. But... I'm not done with Rebel Wilson.

That's it. Society has moved beyond the need for Rebel Wilson. I would say there's only so many times someone can fall over and then say, my bad, and then have that be the joke. Yeah, I bruised my vagina. Oh well. Wuzzle? No, my actual complaint is just that she's very clearly not in any way

shape or form a trained dancer or singer and it's it's just very bad overall best part of the movie is Idris Elba saying meow and then disappearing in a puff of smoke. And this has been born to Vista where you can get such scorching takes as cats bad. And Rebel Wilson, not great. It's bad, like, I had had that movie sitting there for a while and thinking, yeah I should watch that of, you know, I hear it's very bad. I had no idea. I couldn't prepare myself. Whereas I just go, I hear it's very bad.

And that's it, I'm I'm I'm on the next I'm on the next I'm on the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the next the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. I'm the their. I'm the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I's very th. I's very th. I's very th. I's very th. I's very th. I's very th. I's very th. I's very th. I'm the. I'm theat. I theat. I theat. theat. theat. theat. theat. theat. I theat. I theat. I theat. I th. I th. I couldn't prepare myself. Whereas I just go, I hear it's very bad. And that's it, I'm on to the next thought. Yep. My bio, Shkoda. Scrolling on to the next thing. And the next thing. So you want to schoadah. So that's what's been going on in Australia. Uh, important news in Australia.

Sorry, which part of that was the news? Theo having trouble sleeping. Theo bought a Skoda? Thiea. Shkoda. Shkoda. Shkoda. How's it handle, Theo?

tho. How's it handle, Theo? Yeah, it's good. I've got it in eco mode. It has the one with the um so I got it second hand I didn't ask for it but it has the sports package and so I immediately took it out of that through drive into eco and it's sitting in eco mode so nice and smooth no no frights no anything that's sweet sweet fuel economy. Uh and roomy so I can fit a pram in my car now.

You fit all your baby accessories. All my baby accessories, which are pram, baby seat and baby. So there's that news. There's people forget the baby. There's me watching Wonder Woman 1984 and cats. Ben, any important news from your perspective? Um, no. No. Okay, so we're all caught up on Australian news. Which means we should cast our eyes a field, a far, across whatever ocean it is.

Yeah, I feel like most people know what ocean that is, but go on. Really, take a guess. Give us your top three of which oceans you reckon it might be. America's Ocean. Number one, the Dead Sea. Okay, let's try again. Oh no. Moving on.

I'm just going across the Indian Ocean and then from there I'm going across. Honestly, it could be any of them and here's the trick. They all kind of join up. So isn't it just one ocean? You've lived on the East Coast of Australia your entire life, right? So you've really only ever been around the one ocean? Yeah. Okay. Moving on. Moving on. Mm-hmm. So, they've had a little trouble the the the the the th the th th the th th th the ocean. Yeah. Okay. Moving on. So having a little trouble, what I would

describe is a little trouble in in America, would you call it? How would you classify it, Ben? How would you characterize it? I mean they've just been in the never-ending sort of muck of trouble for the last, well I mean for the last 200 and whatever years? But I mean, the last that-thau-and-thaunded, but I mean, the-the-the-the-the-t, the-t, the-the-t, the-t, the-t, the-t, the-they-they-they-they-they-they-they-they-the-the's the-the's the-the's they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they're they're their-they're their-in, their-a-h. So th. So, th. So-h. So-h. th. th. that-h. So-h. that-h. So-h. that-h. So-h. So-they've they've they've they're sort of muck of trouble for the last, well I mean for the last 200 and whatever years, but I mean the last year was a particularly grueling one and really it was a confluence of two things, right? You had the advent of the novel coronavirus, which the US just decided to take a sort of, let's see what high school we can get on this machine kind of approach to, which had been really great.

Then they thought, well, let's see what high score we can get before we get the vaccine. Somehow tricking themselves into believing that the moment the vaccine was approved, their problems would be over the fact that the vaccine was started rollout a couple weeks ago. And I thii, just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just the their their their their their thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th.. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thee, the, the, the thee the the the the the the the the the the thi, thi, the day before they hit 4,000 deaths a day it's pretty fucking cool but also there's a little orange cheeto in the White House damn and he doesn't want to leave that White House at all why would you have free food? You reckon that's the thing that's keeping him... he's like oh man I'm gonna have to pay someone to make my meals now. Well, I mean, just for me personally.

What do you reckon the deal is, if you're the president, right? And you've got the White House kitchen at your disposal, this team of highly trained chefs or whatever in there, is this like a thing where you wake up in the morning and you say these are the three meals I'd like to have today and you name any food in the world and they'll make it for you. Or even though you're the president, you're getting like a set menu every day. Oh, that'd suck. I'd be so mad. What do you reckon? Could you just be like, uh, I would like like jumbl to like, I'd like, I'd like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, to like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th like, th like, th like, th like, th like, th like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, okay, I'll give you one of the world's top 10 jumbalias by 6 p.m. I think that they would probably meet your requests through a number of means. I think that there is probably a kitchen on site where they could prepare a variety of things. But if you were to say, I want a delicious jumble liar, they might just whip out the old,

like Uber eats. But put it on a plate and give you some fancy colour and stuff. Yeah, and we've seen that Mr. Drump. Huh? Huh? Who? Sorry, Donald Donald Trump? Oh, yeah. Yeah, sorry. Yes. We've seen that he likes to be handed a nice shiny platter with some artfully arranged

McDonald's on it. So, that's true. Got that plate with the KFC on it when he was on that plane that one time that was eaten with a knife and fork. Oh, very strange. Sometimes he likes to eat some ethnic food like a taco bowl. The best Mexican food in the world made in Trump Tower. Oh boy. But yeah.

I don't know if you've ever seen that thing where there's like a... The president has a sort of personal cinema in the White House, right? But the movies they choose to watch are in the public record. So you can sort of look at like every movie Nixon watched during his presidency or whatever. But it's a thing where they just say, hey, I'd like th th th th th like th like th like the th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like th like thing where they just say hey I'd like to watch this movie and then someone just sort of sorts that out for them which is my relationship with you essentially I'm looking for this 1930s film I can't fight anywhere else so then magically it ends up on your place that's quite now this is in the public record

yeah do think he just requests this is in the public record. And now it's in the public record. Yeah. Do you think he just requests to watch like the scene with him in it from Home Alone to over and over or? Yeah, probably. So that story about how he, uh, he was being profiled by I think it was maybe the New Yorker or something. And he was on the plane watching Bloodsport which is one of the greatest movies of all time but he had his then like child-aged

son Donald Jr. fast-forwarding through the bits that weren't fight scenes see everybody laughed at that but you know no I'm kind of identify there is no no fat in that movie every single minute is Fucking amazing every single piece of dialogue in that movie is Extraordinary I would skip a second of it. Yeah, it's true So there was an armed insurrection Insurrection, uh, yeah, we've we've basically had the culmination of the last four years of everybody getting very acclimatized to the president saying whatever the fuck you wants all the time

and none of it mattering everybody constantly looking around at each other and saying from all levels of government, hey someone should do something. Can he say that? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes do something. Uh, can he say that? Yes. Yes, yes, excuse me, Mr President? The CIA just making like a shooty gun kind of movements over there and then like looking quizzical, like, you want you want it? I mean, uh, should we want to? Can we just, we've done it before?

We've got, I mean, we just roll out the same action plan. We'll get like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, that, tha, tha, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to.

Hey, who wants to be?

The last guy left very good documentation. We had a guy. Nobody. Nobody. So, um, so look, I'm., I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, th, to, so, to, to, to, to, to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we to, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th.

Nobody? Nobody? So, um, so look, I'm sure that everybody has heard all of this extensively covered through American media and all your favorite podcasts and all that kind of thing. And also it's now like 10 or 11 a.m. on Sunday, by the time that this comes out several hours from now, the entire world will have shifted on its axis.

So once again. Who care? We, well, we were going to say some stuff about it, so I guess. No, who care? Let's just care. So, we wanted to provide the perspective that we normally do, which is that of Australia's finest minds. Australia's most beautiful and special

colonists and politicians, who are here to, I guess, for the last several years it's been to offer their undying support and pledges of loyalty for Donald Trump, but we are also observing a bit of what we're seeing in America, which is people saying, you know, ten days out from Biden's inauguration when Donald Trump is finally 100 percent, 100 percent, you know, locked into losing power. Ah, I never liked him anyway. Which is the bravest kind of conviction you can show. I think. Yeah, is when it doesn't matter at all to finally take a stand.

Time to finally ban him on Twitter, you know? I enjoyed watching all of that business with Twitter. That's the fun. Just seeing a lot of like, uh, just the worst, fucking conversations of people being like, I, we have to have strong principles about these things. If we ban the president, we could ban anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone anyone, the the the to to to the to to to ban anyone, which to ban anyone, which to ban anyone, which to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban him, to ban him, to ban him, to ban, to ban, to ban, to ban, to ban, to ban, to ban, to ban, to ban, to ban, to ban, to ban, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, their their their their their their their their their their tho, to ban anyone, to ban anyone, to to their their their to their their their their their their to their to to to-a, to-n, to-a, to-a have to have strong principles about these things. If we ban the president, we could ban anyone, which they do all the time for completely arbitrary reasons. They ban other countries presidents. That's... but yes, I mean, there are a wide variety of views on how people feel

about him being banned from Twitter and all that sort of stuff. Obviously there is the view that I'm sure we Twitter and all that sort of stuff, obviously. There is the view that I'm sure we all agree with, that it's not good that we leave so much of this public conversation to companies like Facebook and Apple and Twitter as to what is permissible in a public context. But I would also argue that that would maybe not be so much of an issue if the President of the United States were not like as addicted to Twitter as

as like a 26 year old marketing professional. Like, I don't know, I feel like the way people talk about it is as though that's the only the only... I'm, I'm, I feel like the the only... I, I feel like the the only... I, I'm, I feel like, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I know, I feel like the way people talk about it, the way people talk about it is as though that's the only way for the president to communicate with the world. And it's shocking that he's been removed from it, whereas the actual conversation should be, why is this the only way that the president of the United States wanted to communicate with the world? That seems like the actual issue at the crux of it? Well because you know when you when you go on TV and all that you've got speech writers involved they can edit it they do all this stuff. This is just raw is straight from the top of the dome. Just just freestyling is that what you say? He's roaring his dome. Yeah. It's just firing off posts posts the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their theiring theiring off. theiring off. theiring off. theiring off. theiring their their th. th. th. their th. It's is. It's is just their their their their their is just their is just. It's is just. It's is just their is just. It's is just. It's is just.

It's just firing off posts about all the haters and losers that can suck his shit, you know? And that's-

It would be amazing if throughout the presidency had kept tweating in the same way that he did before he was president as well. Although things were just be like, shut up, fuck head to people. Fuck you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. he. Yeah. he. Yeah. he. Yeah. Yeah. he. he.

Truly legendary poster, RIP to his account. So we thought we might check in with some Australian columnists see what's going on. First up, we have sleepy idiot turtle, Gerard Henderson.

Catamari of dry skin rolled up onto insiders. It's Catamari, Dermatitis. Oh, catamari, Dermatitis. Oh my God. Please feel free to pause the podcast at this point and Google Gerard Henderson. See what we're talking about here. Now, Gerard, finger always on the pulse. You know?

He's right there. He's ready to give it to us just the whole tomato. He's dealing it out. Shooting a straight shot. So he's what we got? Here was an article entitled, Democrats put Congress in the grip of cancel culture. That doesn't mean anything. No.

That is no meaning whatsoever. It's just a series of sounds. Now this is probably something on the very important events that are going on that we've just sort of alluded to. Yeah, well, let's see what Gerard has to say. Let's hear it for the aunts and uncles of recent memory. If Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, has her way, they are destined to be termed a, quote, parent-sibling. On New Year's Day, Pelosi introduced a resolution into the House setting out rules for the 117th Congress,

Section 2 includes changes to the standing rules. During the next two years, new gender-inclusive language will outlaw... Outlaw? Outlaw. You will be shot in the street. Yep. Will outlaw such terms as father, mother, son, daughter, sister, uncle, art, and so on. They will be replaced by parent, child, sibling, parent sibling.

It's easy to make fun of such rules and wonder what will become of the likes of the likes of Mother's Day and Father's Day. It's nothing, it's nothing. It's nothing's going to come up. I'm pretty sure it's just like a fucking style guide as well. That's right. There's nothing's going to happen. So far this is completely identical to the huge fuss that there was recently in the Australian

media about like a four-year-old writing guide from the ABC I think. Oh no, it was just a, or was that just a guide for like language to use like internally in the office? And it basically just said like, hey, if you're talking to someone don't assume that they're like a partner or husband or whatever is the opposite sex to them because that's that's not the deal for everybody. And that was it. And we had to have an entire media cycle on it. However this action is a strike at the ordinary language of Americans. So just playing along at home here, far up Duck Duck Go, and put in which country does Gerard Henderson live in.

No doubt the gesture will go down well in San Francisco with a Democrat liberal in the American sense of the term. Again, it has to put that in there because he's Australia. He doesn't live there. Yeah, doesn't live there. Uh, leftist Pelosi. Yep, not a thing. She's not leftist. Libert lives in luxury inside a gated community.

Okay, that is a good criticism. But it is likely to be opposed by most Americans and not just the 74 million who voted for President Donald J Trump last November. It doesn't matter. It's Congress, it's a style guide, who gives a shit. Yep. He then goes on to do several paragraphs about how really when you think about it, the election, the election was actually pretty close.

As of January 20th, the Democrats will control two of the three arms of the U.S US Supreme Court. Consequently, the US remains a politically divided nation, as witnessed by pro-Trump protesters storming the Capitol building on Thursday. Oh, there's something else going on is that? So just slides that in there as a little aside, as witnessed by pro-Trump protesters storming the capital building on Thursday, AEDT, with the Democrats' current majority in the House and maybe in the Senate threatened at the November 2022 midterm elections. In view of this, it does not seem politically wise for Pelosi to be setting about to change the English language usage from the top down. So, really, does finger on the pulse laser focused on the really important

stuff happening in American politics right now? Really getting to the grid of things here that, you know, massive unemployment, the coronavirus has caused a downturn in the economy, which loses people's jobs in turn losing their health insurance which it's really bad when you've got a massive fucking pandemic going on all of this is truly at the core of America's entire mechanism for for everything health care government truly I think not important next to them changing the way that Congress uses their words. Whether or not you can say uncle. Uncle.

And yeah, just completely skipping over the president-incited riot in the Capitol building that has now left five people dead including a police officer. That's yeah that happened. That's just a symptom of the politically divided country. Obviously caused by this language guide. They got this they got used. Obviously caused. I could see now that the riot was caused by this language guide that has not been introduced yet. All the all the riot was caused by this language guide that has not been introduced yet. All the all the Patriots are at home refreshing the page where the resolutions get published for Congress. And they've they've read it they've gone they've read it from top to bottom understood it and gone oh, it's time to march on the nation's capital. Oh boy. Pelosi's language director for the House's latest act in what has been called the left's

cancel culture. Well, you're calling it that. By you, you're doing that. That's it. Don't fucking try and make that a voiceless, like, unattributed, oh, other people are saying it's cancel culture. I wouldn't know about. I'm hearing from a lot that people are calling it exactly the thing I called it. It's the words on everyone's lips. You're hearing it more and more. We have become familiar with the demands of the left-wing activist to censor the written and spoken word by demanding that those with whom they should be said on the floor of Congress and within the documents

of the U.S. Lower Congression to Pelosi on this issue from within her own party. Former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard. We're going to Tulsi Gabbard for a quick quote. Let's cross over to far right-wing nut job, Tulsi Gabbard. Oh, who happened to be on Fox News as Tucker Carlson.. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh???? to to to to to to to to to the to to the to the to the the to th. th. the th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi-in the US the US to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US the US. the US. thi thi thi thi thi thi tho tho thu thu thu thu thu-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-ucooooooomease tooome. thoome. thoome. thoom. thoom over to far right-wing nut job Tulsi Gabard. Oh, who happened to be on Fox News's Tucker Carlson. Huh. When she criticized this. This week, British actor Rowan Atkinson gained international attention after he told the British magazine radio times that the cancelling of individuals was a threat

not only to the victims of such censorship, but to the future of free speech itself. He added, It's important that we're exposed to a wide spectrum of opinion. What we have now is the digital equivalent of the media mob roaming the streets looking for someone to burn. Is that your belief about how Rowan Atkinson sounds? No, that's how Mr. Bean sounds. Huh. Okay. He doesn't talk that much. That's true. You know, it's pretty rare to get a long pull quote from Mr. Bean in the newspaper. He mostly makes distressed noises.

Oh, oh. Thanks of that nature. He's more of a single word kind of guy, just for comedic effect. And I just want to kind of ask you guys remember the the actual medieval mob that we had in Charlottesville with the burning torches and Nazis the kind of one-power sort of thing so on and so forth? Yeah. I don't know I just remember that all of a sudden. It's actually when someone goes on the internet and says you are careful. Aerial pink. Ayril pink. The thin thinn. The thing that's that sh. I that sh. that sh. that sh. that sh. that sh. that sh. that sh. that sh. that sh. that sh. that sh. that sh. that sh. that sh. that shi. that shi. that shi. the the the the the the that's they. they. they. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. they. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t.. t. t. t.. t. the. the. they. they.'s fucking, and the thing that shits me off so much about this is like the same, you know how conservative obsessed with using woke as a sort of fucking...

Pejorative that's a sort of meaningless. But like all of these words that came from like slang from people of color or were used largely by teens that have now become used by these weird 50 year olds with like dead seriousness Like people would sarcastically say that someone had been canceled because they like Said something bad about one direction a bunch of 15 year olds would be like you are canceled And now we've got Rowan Atkinson this fucking be like oh cancellation is the most serious problem we have this shit is just not anything. It's thi. It's than s-like. It's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. that, th. that, that, that, that, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Like, like, like, like, like, like, this fucking be like, bro, cancellation is the most serious problem we have. This shit is just not anything. It's so fucking dumb and such a waste of everyone's time and energy.

Just the idea of people not liking some people is not new. No, and also if you're a millionaire, multi-millionaire or billionaire in the case of, you know, J.K. Rolling, and they're all mad because they can't get on and say, oh, well, I'd like to run over trans people with my, um, with my Lexus. If you have that kind of money, just get off the internet. Yeah. The only good millionaire, and please don't tell me that she sucks, is Enya, who escaped to a castle where she lives with her cats. I don't even know if she has the internet.

Maybe she's got ISDN or something. But like, you've got better things to do. You can do literally anything. Like every day of the week, you can think of a new once in a lifetime experience. Well, the criticism of the leftist woke warrior type of thing is always that people feel that they have this entitlement to have their personal views and opinions and stuff forcefully respected by other people. Yeah, when in actual fact, what they're doing is they're logging onto the internet every day and saying something against some marginalized people and then people are saying, hey,

shut the fuck up. Shut up, British author, J.K. Rowling, shut up. And she doesn't. And then she goes and makes another billion dollars. I went out on a boat the other day and it was horrible. And they had, when we were out there, I saw a boat that detached a jet ski. Oh yeah, like the little, like the jet ski drives up into it or like... Drives up into it. And they're at the point where they have enough money, where they could stack like six or seven boats inside one another in a kind of matroshka doll situation, right? And just see how many boats they can stack up leading to, you know, the super yacht that a normal yacht kind of

pops out and then mini yacht and so on down. I don't really know what other kind of boats there are. They could do that instead of just logging on to the internet and saying, you know, how about those gay people? Just do anything, do anything else. No. Buy jeeps and crash them into each other. Buy like a dozen jeeps and then buy an indoor soccer place. Invite a bunch of your friends around.

By an indoor ice place, even better. Oh my god, oh my fucking God, buy an ice rink? Yeah. And a dozen jeeps? Get your friends on there, fucking scoot around for an afternoon instead of being a trans-phobe. I've long maintained that were I wealthy enough, one of my personal hobbies would be to buy small businesses and then run them myself, just being extremely rude to buy small businesses and then run them myself, just being extremely rude to everybody

who comes in until the business goes under. It's the dream! And then I just close it down and buy another business. Sorry, this is something you have thought about for a long time? Yes. It's like, you know, if I win the power ball kind of thing. Well, you just buy like a car rental place. Yeah, like a car rental place. And just anytime someone's like, hey, I just need like a little four-door sedan, and you're

just like, fuck you. You probably want a schoda. You would, you piece of shit. Fucking idiot. Yeah. Check out this fucking morrow. He's trying to get a compact. Throwing like, throwing mince from the little bowl on the counter at them as they they they they they they they the they the the the the throwing like throwing mince from the little bowl on the counter at them as they walk out the door.

M-I-N-C-E. J-K Rowley could be doing. That's what you could be doing with your time, you know? Could just be, could just be in heaven. Could just be buying a news agent, uh, stocking every rack with, like, a pornography. stocked the too, thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. And, th. And, th. And, thi. thr-in. K. K. K. K. G. G. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. J. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. G. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. K. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. Yeah. It said, every single one of these people are going on national TV or like nationally syndicated news and saying how terrible it is that they can't say what they want to say. It's like anyone that will like will listen, they'll just pick up the phone and just go, hey, I can't say what I want to say, which is exactly this. And then they go and type it up and they go, like their tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they're tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiii. thiiii. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi and type it up and they put it in the newspaper and then people read the thing that they want to say and they go oh such a shame they can't

say the thing that they want to say. They'll have another interview in the Sydney Morning Herald or the Guardian about how they are being silenced. And they'll go in the project and whatsoever. Gerard continues, the problem in recent times is that the emergence of social media has facilitated the cancel culture. Those public figures who have recently challenged the leftist orthodoxy with respect to causes and expressions exhibit considerable intellectual and at times personal courage. You know that that leftist orthodoxy we've experienced on the internet over the last, you know, five or six years that it's seen like literally, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, their their their the the the the the the the emergence, the emergence, the emergence, the emergence, the emergence the emergence the emergence the emergence the emergence the emergence the emergence the emergence the emergence the emergence the emergence the emergence orthodoxy we've experienced on the internet over the last five or six years that it's seen like literally the internet mobilized to elect Trump? I love logging onto the internet, the place where all leftists go to agree with each other. Oh, God bless.

He doesn't have the internet, by the way. I guarantee that he is not, like, he uses an old ASIS e-E-book and Internet Explorer 9 to check MSN. What's the fucking Microsoft home page? Is it's still MSN? I don't know if that's... Nine Emerson? I think it's nine Emerson now. God. Had the little Green Man and the Butterfly. Yes. He's still on the Green Man and the Butterfly. He says... I assume he's dictating to this as someone with a typewriter and it's a

flown by carrier pigeon to the news call headquarters. Yet the likes of Atkinson, Julie Bertil, Jermaine Greer, Barry Humphreys, Tony Robinson and J.K Rowling are famous and wealthy enough to survive the current censorship. And why are we putting all of them in the same sentence? Hmm, I don't know what thing that's linked them? Yeah, what is it about all of these people specifically, you'll probably throw John Cleese in there too? too.. their, th. th. their, th. to, to, their, to, to, their, to, to, their, to, their, to, to, to, their, to, th, to, and th, and th, and th, and thi, and thi, and their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and thi, and, and thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, their, their, their, th..... th.. And, th. And, th. And, thi. And, th. And, thi. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to thi. to to toe. toe. toe. toe. their, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th linked them? Yeah, what is it about all of these people specifically, you'll probably throw John Cleese in there too, what is it about all these people specifically that has people saying to them, you seem like a like an unkind bad person, which is of course as we know the... and we prefer if you stopped doing that. The brutal Orwellian cancellation that we've all come to witness,

when people say, hey, could you not? Have you thought about not doing that? I can't believe I can no longer hear the extremely relevant opinions of Germain Greer. Or Barry Humphreys. What a loss. This is the downfall. You know, like the Prager U graph of like culture over time and going down. And I think the cancellation of Barry Humphries is when it hit the X the X the X the X the X the X the X the X the X the X the X the X the X the X th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that is that is that is that is that is. I that is. I that is. I that is. I that is that is that is that is that is that is that that that that that that th. I th. I th. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the threat. the the the threat. the threaten. thee. the. the. that's. that's. that. that. that's. that's. down and I think the cancellation of Barry Humphreys is when it hit the X-axis. Yeah not not at all not at all

coincidental that all of these people are just people who are famous in Britain and who spend their time saying why should I have to be respectful of trans people. That's basically it. Fortunately, Pelosi's language directive is yet to apply in Australia. Yeah or anywhere. It's not applying anywhere. Yeah, when he says... It's a style guide as well, I can't stress that enough. When he's a shit. When he says yet to apply in Australia. Yeah, he's very... There's like, there's some indication that he thinks that at some point. The implication is, yep.

At some point, inevitable. Nancy Pelosi's congressional language directive will apply to all of Australia. But stand by for the day when Graham Greens travels with my aunt may be retitled, travels with my parents' sibling. Again, not the thing. I don't understand why that would apply to the title of a book. That's nonsense.

I hate this guy so much. I'm pretty sure he- And this is one of Australia's most respected political commentators, by the way. I just, I'd love to play this little game where we imagine how much much much much much how much how much how much how much how much how much how much how much how much how much how much how much how much how much how much how much how much this this this this this this this this this this this is how much this is how much this person is paid. It's so awful. Oh. Gerard Henderson is executive director of the Sydney Institute. Really getting their money's worth there, guys. That is a horror, like, it's not a good name for a place, by the way.

That's one of the places that you explore in Fallout 3. Yeah, and it's been overtaken by robot ghouls. Mm-hmm. It's been overtaken by robot ghouls. Are you tired of paying nothing for the same old superior quality free episodes of the Buntavista podcast? Do you want less politics and more content about diarrhea or animals gone wild?

And so here's a... Hey, I come from Racism. It's a terrible place. So here's an MP from Queensland in the National Party, which is... Specifically from from MacI. From Theo's beautiful hometown.

Check out Mackay, if you can. It's in close proximity to some of the very nicest parts of Queensland and is not one of the nice parts of Queensland itself. Go on down to the jet ski arena they built. Several... One kilometer from my house, for my childhood home. Did you say jet ski arena? Yeah, so what they did is they, there was this big empty space that's like swampland that a train line goes through.

It's coal, oh no, that's the sugar line I think. And they dug a big hole in the ground and they filled that hole with water and they strung up lines like all the way around. And it's for like water sports and so you can so actually it was wrong it's not jet ski it's just a like a powered ski arena and you hold onto the lines and you go around around the circle and thisthis was enough of a, like, blow your mind attraction for them to make it like a, a selling point in a bunch of like, upscale townhouses. They also built around the gigantic mosquito pit. Uh-huh.

A beautiful place. And of course they re-elected their beloved representative, George Christensen. Who are, you know, we've talked about on this podcast in the past, basically big-time right-wing racist psycho, has showed up at like, you know, alt-right and far-right nationalist rallies. He's been on like nationalist podcasts. He's done the whole deal, basically.

Extremely big on all of the anti-China stuff. Extremely big on propagating like COVID-19 conspiracy theory stuff. He's one of the people who's very into the whole, hey you should be drinking this bleach instead of getting a vaccine kind of thing. I believe they've been censoring and removing some of his Facebook posts recently, along with Craig Kelly, another notorious dip shit. And so here's what he has to say about the riot of the Capitol. Here's my final comment on the situation in the USA.

The left and the fake news media are a disgrace and their hypocrites. OK. You know, the fake news media. They have falsely claimed US President Donald J. Trump incited violence yesterday. He didn't. He publicly called for quote peace and law and order. You remember that video the Trump poster, the last thing that he managed to get off on his Twitter account before he got suspended, which was the video of

him saying, hey, come on, come on guys. I know you're really mad, which you have every right to be, due to the fake election stealing the presidency from me, which we should all be trying to stop, and that's why you're here, doing the stop the steal rally, which I asked you to come and do, and I'm very happy about. But hey, you know, we've all got to just, hey, hey, we've all got to let this presidency thing happen, even though it's fake, even though it's fake and it got stolen and everything. But we can't do violence. Violence is bad, so it's cut that out I guess. They've taken this from you. They are trying to ruin your life. They should be destroyed. But wink. Wink. Yeah, it's it's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. It's very. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thrying to ruin your life. They should be destroyed, but please don't. Wink! Wink! Um, yeah, it's, it's very funny, like how much he clearly did not want to be saying that.

And that it was even, it was like sandwiched between him just, just being like, oh, you're right to do it though. Yeah, you know, I love you, you're very special. He doesn't want to eat his vegetables, so he's allowed to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat to eat he to eat he he he he he he he he he he he he he to eat to eat hea. he he he he heat heat heat heat heat heat th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's he. It's he. It's he. It's he. It's he. It's he. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi though. Yeah, you know? I love you, you're very special. Doesn't want to eat his vegetables, so he's allowed to eat one bite of extremely well done steak, a single vegetable and pouting the whole time, and then another bite of very well done steak. That's right. It continues, they've also falsely claimed that a lawful protest from which a small percentage of protesters began a riot was a quote insurrection and a coup attempt. It wasn't. It was a mob vandalizing and illegally entering the US Congress, not a coup or an insurrection. Why were they entering the Capitol building again? Why were they storming Congress? Trying to remember?

It's going on a tour. Just checking it out. Was it anything to do with the whole Trump saying the presidency has been stolen from me and if the vice president will not overturn the results, then you need to come to Washington and stop the certification of the election results? Was it anything to do with that? Or they wanted to look at some nice old paintings. The left and the fake news media have a long of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of of to tackacke to to to to tape to tape the thea thea thea the thea thea thea thea tracu. trace. tra the tra tra tra tra tra tra tr. true true true tr- tr- tr- tr- tr- tr-a tr-a tr. Trump the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole the whole their tr. tr. tr. tr. their tr. tr. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. true. tr? Or they wanted to look at some nice old paintings. The left and the fake news media have a long track record of talking down violent protests until one is caused by Trump supporters. I don't really remember a lot of talking down the the protests from the media. Except for like I remember seeing it reported in on the

verge as you know the violence being caused by the verge as, you know, the violence being caused by the police and going, oh, that's refreshing. That's refreshing. And that was the one time I saw it from, from like, media that could be considered somewhere in the, in the center or in the mainstream. And of course, but that's because that's what happened. So that's why the left we're talking it down. It's because that's, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's what. That's what. That's what what the. That's what what the. the. the. that's what what what. the. that's what. that's what. that's what. that's what. that's what. that's what. that's, because that's what happened. So that's why the left were talking it down. It's because that's what happened.

I mean, every time the protesters went out, they were brutalized by a police force who hold all the power in this relationship. You know, the media would get less than lethal rounds shot at them. There are multiple people who lost eyeballs from this, you know, and so on and so forth. So I guess it's probably the same as that though, what happened with this mob. It's pretty much the same. Pretty much the same where the cops sort of went, oh, it's going to be harder if we try and stop them from going in. And it's also a nice, just as an aside, it's a nice thought and the and the and the and the the DC and the DC and the DC and the DC and the DC and the DC and the DC and the DC and the DC and th and th and th and the DC police police police police police police police police police police police police police and the DC and th and th.

And it's also a nice, just as an aside, it's a nice thought,

and the DC police should absolutely be abolished, you know, no matter what. But it's a nice thought that it's just the DC police kind of standing out the front. You know, one guy with his finger kind of exploring the inside of his ear going going to to be hard for me if I don't stop them. them, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, so, so, so, so, so, so, them, the the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, thi, to to to to to to to to to be to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to today. Oh, all these guys showed up. It's going to be harder for me if I don't stop them. So in you go. That's all that's sort of stopping.

Pretty much. I would have thought that there'd be another layer there. But it's nice to see all of this stuff kind of just get unwound in our brains. George says here's a smattering of their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thoomathing thoom-a, thi, thi, thoomorrow, thoomorrow, thoome, thoome, thoome, thoome, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi.

I thi. thi. thi. thin. thin. thean. thin. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. theann't the their hypocrisy when it comes to black lives matter the protest. Oh, I love hypocrisy. Versus what went down at Congress. Now again, he's not really, he's not, it doesn't seem to be very interested in what the original driver of the protest is in any of these cases?

No, certainly not. Or the outcome of what people were asking for, I think in... Correct me if I'm wrong, I think with the BLM protests, it was mainly, please stop killing us for no reason. Yep. Generally speaking, uh, and oh, you did it again. This is upsetting to us. Please. Seriously, stop, stop killing us for no reason. Versus... I love it when effects have no causes. Yeah, versus I want to be... Just living my life like a baby who's just dropped his toy behind his seat,

unable to see it. It's completely non-deterministic universe where things just happen. Things just happen. You know how things just happen. Things just happen. Sometimes, things just happen. Things just happen. You know how things just happen. Things just happen. Sometimes, things just happen. That's true. And then, yeah, I guess the reason for, for quote, what went down at Congress was, like I said,

more to do with the president openly advocating for his own supporters to come and overturn the results of a legal election? Anyway, here's some of his examples. Democrat VP-elect Kamala Harris said protesters should not let up and she set up a fundraising drive to pay for bail for the criminal terrorists who got arrested. Famous criminal supporter Kamala Harris. Democrat Congresswoman Ayana Presley said there quote needs to be unrest in the streets. That's true. Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said quote the whole point of protesting is to make people uncomfortable. That's true. It's true.

Sally Cone at CNN slash Washington Post said quote I don't like violent protests but I understand them and those wagging their fingers against violent protests need to read up on their American history. It's literally equivocating on that point they're like, I don't like them. George Christensen I think does actually despise it when people understand things. Hmm. It doesn't care for understanding. It undermines his whole thing when people do. His whole deal. Interestingly, none of these comments in blatant support, defense, or apology of violent protests, and any of these people bans on social media. You're telling me they didn't get banned for saying the police shouldn't kill as many people as they do?

The tech tyrants who run Facebook and Twitter are thus also hypocrites and a disgrace for silencing Trump and his supporters. And the left and fake news media have curiously never called any left-wing protest or riot in any Congress a quote insurrection or coup before when plenty have occurred. I feel like none of them have planned to like take the vice president hostage. Yeah. I've just not seen that happen before. Again, I would say, and I'm completely open to people debating the, I guess, the application of terms

like insurrection and attempted coup and stuff in this case. Yeah, I feel like it's possibly just giving it too much credence. Like, like, a coup kind of assumes a modicum of organization. Although, you know, as we've seen a lot of people saying, when they had, when they had like the DC police saying, hey, there was just no indication that something like this was going to happen, other than like the extensive organizing of this on like open Facebook groups to say, this is the extensive organizing of this on like open Facebook groups to say, this is where we are going on January the 6th and the purpose of our trip.

But yeah, like, like, I don't know, the whole thing had more of a read to me of mostly people who were just there and angry and frustrated, who have also been extensively misled about what has taken place. And then a smaller group of people within that who are just full-on Q& on nut jobs, who were ready for the big day of executions, you know? And I think if the crowd had have had a much larger proportion of those people, I could imagine the entire thing turning out much, much uglier than it did, although five people died.

That's pretty ugly. And again, the entire purpose of this, ostensibly. And the thing that was, you know, that it was organized as was stop the steel. We are going to Washington to stop the certification of the election results and make sure that Donald Trump is still installed as leader. So, so you know, I think we can all kind of quibble about the organization, the very specific application of terms and the dictionary definitions and everything, but I think in spirit this one definitely had much

more of a we would like to ignore the outcome of an election and keep our big orange strong man dip shit in for life, you know. So these are some of George's examples. Between 2017 and 2020, the Senate officers have been occupied three times by mobs of leftist protesters protesting various things from the Solomini drone stroke to border security to Kavanuar. He is misspelled both Solomonian and Kavanaugh. And it was written drone stroke which I choose to interpret as some kind of like new smart sex type. Here comes you're... Between 2017. Oh, noon of this was labeled insurrection or terrorist.

Instead, we had several Democratic senators joined the occupation of the heart building, and it was declared that, quote, this is what democracy looks like. In 1996, leftists rioted, assaulted police, and broke into the Australian Parliament and vandalized it, after attending a nearby peaceful protest which the Labour movement organized and at which the then Labour leader spoke. No media outlet called in an insurrection or a coup attempt. So just a quick check on that one. Was that whole deal like them going in there and vandalizing Parliament, that sort of thing. Was it like one, to try and overturn the result of an election?

Two, was it legitimized by the wishes and words and actions of the current sitting leader of the nation? Just check it, just quick check on those. If we can get the ABC fact checked on that. To my knowledge. Hmm. Also, just, this is from 1996. Dicking in. Well, so this time they said Trump blamed it, but 24 years ago, presumably the same people

didn't. Like, fucking, come on man. Just taking the piss at this point. Some of the same people that you're talking about were in primary school at the time. Yeah, and did they decry it then I think not. Check mate. Yet the Australian media have blamed Trump with the situation in the US. Yeah. Huh. Huh. Now we could not possibly leave without checking in with our biggest diphit of all.

This is of course Miranda Devine, who has been writing in the New York Post for the last year or so. We have extensively covered some of Miranda's exploits in the past on episode 22, the Dipshit Dossier. And so she's a big-time idiot of the Australian press. If I had to describe her, her brain is made of the same matter that they put inside those incense balls that the Catholic priests light up and swing around them. That's Miranda Divine is the anthropomorphic equivalent of that. And but I guess the thing that makes Miranda Divine very different compared to some of these other people is that Trump actually reads her shit and watches her on the news.

Very cool. He, over the last couple of months, he had been retweeting and quote tweeting her stuff onto his Twitter account, which, I'm sure, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, been like retweeting and quote tweeting her stuff onto his Twitter account, which I'm sure gave Miranda the rockingest orgasms of her life. And I don't know whether she accepts the pleasure exists. Only this one kind, and that's being noticed by Senpai. And yeah, I assume as well the part of this is because she has been, I think, one of the most like, just openly, bizarrely dedicated to Trump writers out there, you know, and it's, and it is even weirder that she's Australian, you know, like that's actually super weird. That's a put her in the New York Post so anyone

would read it, because it doesn't make sense for someone to be writing in like, this, the daily telegraph or the Herald Sun or whatever, every week about glorious leader Donald Trump. So they got her over there instead. And she writes, from the Senate to Mike Pence, Trump destroys the party on the way out the door. The storming of the US Capitol yesterday by a group of fired up Trump supporters was a tragedy for the Republican Party, for conservatives and populous nationalists. What a shame. And for Donald Trump and his legacy. Now, okay, so straight off the bat with that paragraph we're thinking to ourselves. the the th us. thiiiii th us, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the, the, the, the, the. the. thr-s. the. the. the. the. the. true. true. to to to to so straight off the bat with that paragraph, we're thinking to ourselves,

ah, Miranda's finally coming around. Big tragedy for the right wing, for the Republican Party, all these things. Yeah, and for the nation, I assume. No, no. Because the nation is half composed of the scum that we would all like to see put to the sword the sword the sword the sword the sword the sword the sword the sword the sword the sword the sword the sword the sort the sort the sort the sort the nation is half composed of the scum that we would all like to see put to the sword. So let's find out why that is a tragedy. It has bestowed the great gift of the moral high ground on the most undeserving people in the world, Joe Biden and the left, which I would note are two distinct groups here.

Yep. And also why does she believe that the Republicans, name one thing that the Republicans should carry the moral high ground on. Name a single thing. And of course the answer there is you know stopping people from having abortions or what have you. That's that's it. That's all it is. Yeah, that being being brave enough to pretend there isn't a pandemic happening, some of that kind of thing. So she continues, they now have a free pass to persecute their ideological enemies while enacting their pet cultural Marxist projects and changing this country irrevocably for the worst.

So I assume you still have Duck Duck Go Open, just type in, where does Miranda Divine live? Where does Miranda Divine live? She lives in Sydney, Australia, sorry, I should be. So changing this country. This country. Not like Sydney, Arkansas or Sydney Michigan or Sydney Idaho. Oh I would hate for noted Marxist Joe Biden to do his his cultural Marxist projects on me in a country that I don't live in. They will be unimpeded by a Senate now in Democratic control thanks to Tuesdays Georgia runoff debacle. And I'm sure we'll see some Marxist projects,

cultural or perhaps maybe economic, the thing that the only thing that Marxism applies to it's just, just emerging. Well, I'm sorry, she has moved to New York. She has moved to New York. Yes. My apologies. You can call it this country. Everything else.

Well, not good. Apologies at the show. Yeah, we have to apologize to, um, conservative, Catholic Miranda divine. We will be sending an edible arrangement to her fourth floor walk up in New York as an apology. For Georgia we can blame Trump's irrational efforts to overturn the November election result and a clueless GOP establishment which offered Peach State voters two candidates so cartoonishly wrong for the times they may have as well have begged

the Maga base to stay home. She's saying that the that the candidates they may as well have begged the MAGA base to stay home. She's saying that the candidates there were not populist enough? Well, she describes the candidates as a guy who made his money outsourcing jobs to China and a wealthy and a wealthy elitist with a fake southern accent. Literally Trump with a fake southern accent. And this is somehow different to the standard Republican senator? This is somehow different to every GOP candidate. Yeah, it's like when Ted Cruz puts on a cowboy hat and you have to be like, yep.

Damn. Absolutely, that man is... That man could split a log. Oh boy. That man could split my log. Trump's sabotage of the Georgia runoffs and his rabble-rousing stop the steel rally in Washington yesterday were a catastrophe for his followers. Or for the country. But again, it's not about everybody. It's about her side.

They've justified the outlandish criticism of his enemies for the past four years. You know the past four years. You know, the past four years, that where nothing happened, nothing happened in that time. Just everyone was really critical up the whole time and now we've had this one completely isolated incident. I think. Oh, that four years of sewing, fine.

All this reaping though. Very, very bad look. Not good. His good works will be undone. And there's simply no point in listing them out. All here. Let's take them as red. It's a word limit, kind of a little bit. A little bit behind the curtains here. You can't just fill a document with the good things that Trump has done. Be there all day people are sick about, their th, kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind, kind, kind, kind, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, very, their, very, their, very, very, their, very, very, their, very, very, very, very, th. thi, very, very, very, very, their, very, very, very, their, very, their, very, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, very, their, their, very, their, their, very, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. thi, very, very, very, very, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th good things that Trump has done. Be there all day people are sick about, of hearing about them, you know how we've spent the last four years just ruminating on success after success. His good deeds, which I assume we're all completely familiar with and have committed to memory by now.

And no one will be there to protect them. Well that much is true. He will be gone and his people will reapeeeeeeeeeeeeeoeoeoeoeoeoeoe. the. thiiiiiioe. thioe. the. the. the. the. the. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. You th. You th. You the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean thean the the the the the to protect them. Well, that much is true. He will be gone and his people will reap the whirlwind. God, I hope. Again, what level of brain science do you have to be on to be acting at this point of everything, as though you believe or ever believed that Donald Trump was going to be some great savior protecting and helping his most die-hard supporters. Oh my goodness.

The footage of yesterday's capital break-in will be played on eternal loop by Trump-hating media as evidence that the populist nationalist movement which propelled Trump to power was a dangerous aberration that must never be allowed to rise again. I hate it when evidence of a thing is presented as evidence of a thing. It's almost unfair, isn't it? It is so unfair when you take the things that have resulted because of my words and action and use them against me. Wow, people are going to present evidence of our populist nationalist movements like doing psychotic things and killing people in the streets and storming US government buildings as evidence that it's dangerous and bad

Of course it was wrong for true pro-Trump protesters to break into the US Capitol and wander around with their flags It only took a generally generous of you to say so only took her ten paragraphs to get there To saying oh also that was wrong They shouldn't have trespassed and fought police and broken windows, although I- It's the property. It's the property that's bad. I believe we can upgrade that one to killed police as well. Yep, because that cop apparently got hit in the head with a fire extinguisher and

died a day or two later. They shouldn't have trespassed and killed police and broken windows. Those selfies they took on the house floor, or in the case of one bearded man sitting in house speaker Nancy Pelosi's evacuated office with his feet on her desk, were dumb and self-incriminating. So, is the problem that they shouldn't have done it in the first place, or that they have foolishly done it in the first place or that they have foolishly made it easier to be charged. I hope they were worth it because you know they won't receive the kid-glove

treatment that BLM Antifa received with last year's mostly peaceful protests. Again, that didn't throw bricks at police or burn buildings to the ground or beat innocent passes by, senseless. Hey, what happened before the bricks throwing at police or burn buildings to the ground or beat innocent passes by, senseless. Hey, what happened before the bricks throw on at police, which really, not a thing and burnt the police building? What happened just before that? Well, I'm not sure. She... just before that occurred. Could have been anything?

Could have been anything, anything that perhaps relating to the police? Just kindly, kind of skipping over the fact that we have, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you have, you, you have, you have, you have, you have, you have to to to to to, to the police, just kindly kind of skipping over the fact that we have, you know, on camera members of the police force leaving piles of bricks to incite violence around and then just going back and hopping back in their police cars and driving off. That was pretty cool. She continues, they will have the book thrown at them because it's not the crime you commit the matters anymore. It's who you are. Here's a few headlines about that actually from Insider.com. Two Black Lives Matter demonstrators are facing life in prison. Experts say the deeply disturbing potential sentences are a quote unprecedented form of government overreach. Seven protesters in Salt Lake City were briefly facing life in prison

after prosecutors said they covered the district attorney's office with red spray paint. Nothing like a life sentence for some red spray paints. The charges have since been downgraded although the protesters still face five to 15 years behind bars. From the Guardian, more than 10, thousand people have been arrested around the protesters still face 5 to 15 years behind bars. From The Guardian, more than 10,000 people have been arrested around the US during the protesters, police forces regularly use pepper spray, rubber bullets, tear gas, and batons on protesters, media and bystanders. At Denver, Colorado police officer was fired for posting on Instagram, quote,

Let's start a riot. In New York City, video surfaced of NYPD officers pointing a gun at protesters, driving an SUV into a crowd of protesters, swiping a protester with a car door, an officer flashing a white supremacy symbol, and other officers shoving a woman to the ground which left her hospitalized. Several protesters and bystanders around the US have been left hospitalized from rubber bullet wounds, bean bags, tear gas canauses and batons, while police have reportedly torn down medical tents and destroyed water bottles meant for protesters.

Ah, I hate to see a group getting that kid gloves treatment. Getting the softly, softly, you know. Anyway, she continues, as bad as the Capitol Hill anarchy yesterday looked. We shouldn't be surprised after the way leftist violence was condoned most of last year. Literally, literally didn't happen. You let the genie out of the bottle. There's no telling where it goes. So she's very nicely mirroring Trump's attitude here.

The violence is bad, but also you are right to be angry and the other side did it first and they would do it worse to you if if if the chance, so really when you think about it. Joe Biden's attempt at being a teleprompter statesman condemning the process was laughable. Does he think we forgot he sat by benignly as his supporters torched American cities for months leading up to the election? Not its supporters separate group, same as above. Yep. Suddenly the same politicians and media squakers who turned a blind eye to actual violence arson and murder are big advocates of law and order.

Give me a break. Again, there's the people getting murdered by the law and order. Yep. It seemed to be more of a problem with the police who are responsible for enforcing law and order being the ones who repeatedly the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the to the to the to to the to to to to to to to to be to be more of a problem with the police who are responsible for enforcing law and order being the ones who repeatedly caught out breaking the law, committing murder, assault, all kinds of stuff on a seemingly constant basis, theft as well. Yeah while also holding all of the power experiencing no consequence whatsoever and just being able to do that unshatheed. That's sort of like, it's sort of a bit about what protesting is sort of about, if you

will. Whereas this one is very, it's very different for some reason. She says yesterday wasn't all about overturning the election result as much effort as trump has put into that doomed project over the last two months. Frustration among his supporters has been building to a boiling point for four years as every power base conspired to subvert his 2016 election win and hobble his presidency. Remember how every power base conspired to subvert him? Remember how like every single government department

has said okay? All right we'll do that thing. We'll just have you know the the FCC just will clear that out with someone else at the top will continue to just destroy the environmental agencies across the country and experience no repercussions whatsoever. We'll just change weather forecast live and then you know not not have anything happen. Yeah. But I'm sure there's probably an example that she can give as well. Anyway, becoming what you hate

isn't the answer. Nora's burning down the Republican Party in the vain hope that a new party more to your liking somehow will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes. We would hate it also if you burnt down the Republican Party. We would also on the left we would really super hate that. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't be tempted. The other answer isn't attacking Trump's most loyal ally without whom he probably never would have been elected, Mike Pence. There were a lot of egregious moments yesterday, but probably the most unfair was when Pence became Maga enemy number one. There was even a call for the capital invaders to arrest the vice president. That is entirely Trump's fault. He has been bullying, cajoling, and gas-lighting,

Pence. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's real now to... to help him out of the dead end that he found himself in with two weeks to inauguration day. Trump referred to Pence no fewer than seven times in his rally speech on the ellipse yesterday, quote, I hope Mike has the courage to do what he has to do. But Pence quite properly refused to demand that he blocked Congress's confirmation of Biden as president yesterday. Having failed to prove your case in court after trying for two months, you can't load the entire weight of unrealistic expectations under Pence at the last minute. In his last days as President, Barack Obama honoured Vice President Biden with the Medal

of Freedom. In his last days as President, Trump kicked Pence in the teeth. It's wrong and he should apologize for it, along with everything else that happened yesterday. Yeah, you know famously that word that Trump loves to say. Oh, my bad. I just, yeah. Also, it's so good being able to see just like a, such a, um, a pivot just completely manufactured in real time.

Like she's just positioning herself as if she's the, you know, arbiter of what's good and real in the world and not just trying to hang on to, you know, some sort of relevance because she's been backing Trump for so many years and that has clearly not gone great for her. So the obvious thing, the only thing left is to pivot to viable candidate and bellwether Mike Pence. Oh Mike. Good luck.

Have fun. And you know, it's also a very nice, a nice kind of encapsulation of what has been happening across the political right wing at the moment, which is every person who has spent the last four years dedicating all of their energy to supporting Trump because it was getting them what they wanted. Now turning around at the absolute last minute in the last two weeks of it all and saying, hey actually that's not cool man. Hey, we loved all of the things you've done but now because that's all on record we got that on paper where we we said that the

things you were doing were good but now when it appears that suddenly your power is no longer going to help me in my career. That's no good. I don't like that suddenly. Don't care for it. Mike Pence, the man who has been completely loyal to Donald Trump enabling all of his worst impulses for four years straight. Wow, he just gets cast aside at the end as though his loyalty meant nothing. It's so weird. As though Donald Trump has never cared about any of these people, one iota beyond what they can do for him in the immediate moment. And that's a shock. That's a shock to me, a person who writes about this professionally.

Shraps it up saying, he has two weeks left to persuade his supporters to put the 2020 election behind th thoom th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the to the to to to to to the to the to to the the the the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to th. to to to th. to th. th. th. th. th. th. the the to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thean. to thean. the the the the the the the he has two weeks left to persuade his supporters to put the 2020 election behind them and focus on the real fight ahead winning back the house in 2022 and the White House in 2024. Everything else is a distraction. Oh, for sure, man. Good luck. For sure. That is going to happen. And sure. That is going to happen. And I'm excited for it to happen.

I am excited for Donald Trump. I'm so excited for Donald Trump to come back and even though he's got no, it's like not going to personally help him in any way, shape or form for him to come back and say, you know, maybe we need to be doing some forward-thinking things, like things that don't involve thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, and I thi, and I thi, and I'm thi, and I'm thi, and I'm thi, and I'm thi, and I'm thi, and I'm to come back and say, you know, hey, you know, maybe we need to be doing some forward-thinking things, like things that don't involve me. I'm really looking forward to seeing that. I can't, I think we'll see it. I think it's going to happen, for sure, man. For sure, that's going to happen. Imagine, imagine even like the concept of Donald Trump, like doing an address in which he says, hey, but this isn't about me. This isn't about me.

We're taking a break from the haters and losers. I've been writing about this man for years now, and this is what I expect to see. Very funny. Well, I think that's all we have time for this week. Um, it's probably time for Theo to like have, I don't know, maybe a 20 minute long restless nap and then he wakes up from it feeling more tired than... Yeah, a little kip. And then, uh, and then my baby will start shouting, uh, shouting his demands. And that's the NQE system.

Yep. to check you still there there there there there there there there there there there there th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to to thi thi to to to to to to too' too' too' too' too' too' too' to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thiiii thiiiiii tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo' toe toe toe to's the NQE system. Yep. We love to see it. Ben, just checking you still there. Oh, I'm still here. Yeah, that's good. That one should go anywhere. Sorry, I just, I did get distracted by a friend of the show, Dave, just made a beautiful piece of fan art of the show, very specifically making fun of a very specific mispronunciation Theo accidentally

made in the bonus episode we recorded and I'll let Theo find that one on his own term but I'm good thank you. Theo loves that sort of thing. I love it I love I love pronouncing words I love forgetting words I love forgetting words again yep this one I think was not so much not knowing how it's pronounced as and it was just a slip of the tongue, but it was quite funny. Well uh, yeah, that's about it for us. And don't forget that if you want to pick up like a, say a t-shirt, a mug, a sticker, something like that, you can go to shop.
