Earbuds, Melbourne's podcast network, Earbuds Network, Earbuds Network. to the today. Welcome to Bute Vista Socialist Club, episode 23. I'm Andrew, and I'm here with all my friends. All my friends like Ben. Hello And Theo. Hey. And famous Twitch streamer Lucy. Hey that's me so famous. 150 followers. Yeah I am I I I I Wow. It's always as many as we have pay chance We have slightly more than that for the record.

We do. All right, I need to brag. Hey look, I'm just saying we're established. We're established. It's all downhill from here. Yeah. How's everybody's week's been? Not bad.

Hmm. Yeah. It's exam season, baby. It's a te from the sounds of it. Yeah. It's exam season, baby. Let's, uh, hell yeah. Let's get those suicidal for what's gone. Well, it's what you get for trying to live your dreams. That's true.

Yeah, whatever those nebulous, shitty dreams are. And of course as usual, it's been another gigantic clusterfuck in the world of Australian politics. I'm frankly finding it hard to keep up with at this point. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Like, I'm trying to find it hard to have a normal life with a normal human brain and keep up with Australian politics simultaneously. Yeah, pretty much. Hmm. So I would say the thing that's been, you know, top of the line for the last week is, is the ongoing citizenship or as I've taken to calling it, citizenship. That's saga. Wait, hang on. Thank you. I don't want to be pedantic, but um, you, you said citizen shit with a hang on. Thank you. I don't want to be pedantic but

you you said citizenship with a tea it's it's citizenship ship with a pea. Well let me explain it to you my friend that is in fact a clever portmanteau it's a merging of two words into one. One of the words is citizenship the other is bullshit because that's what it is. No. That circus that we call Parliament. It's no it's citizenship with a P. I'm actually with Ben on this one. Look the English language is an ever-evolving thing. It isn't. It doesn't change from it.

It never will. It never will. All right, can we, what about the citizenship of fools? How about that? Would that make you happier? Yeah, it's not bad. That's all right. I still want to say citizenship. Well, that's not how the word said, so it'd be weird for you to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say citizenship. Well, that's not how the word said, so it'd be weird for you to say that.

So, you know, it's been full bore as usual. Senate President Stephen Parry has resigned. He was pretty roundly criticized for seemingly just kind of waiting with that one under his hat. Although not quite under his hat until... Although not quite under his hat? Hmm, just leaking out from under his hat, just a little bit. Yeah, you kind of waited on that one until the high court decision and then he went, uh, me too, I guess.

Which is a good look. I really liked, there was another report from someone from someone from labor who said that the prime minister called their office just for a casual chat and then during the chat he went yeah so you got all your citizenship stuff in order and she went pardon and he went maybe you should think about referring yourself to the high court, see ya. So he's getting, he's getting really, he's getting weird by this point. John Alexander also resigned.

So they're dropping like flies. And this one's particularly important because, um, beloved pseudo-Australian Russell Crowe weighed in on this one. Russell Crow posted on Twitter. So, John Alexander, who played Davis Cup tennis representing Australia, received the order of Australia and the Australian Sports Medal is now not Australian enough to sit in Parliament. Hashtag absurd. Good on him. He's got a point there. I really look forward to clicking on Parliament, hashtag absurd. Good on him. He's got a point there.

I really look forward to clicking on the word absurd that he's hashtagged and seeing all of the other great content that has been marked that way. It's a really convenient way for him to have done that, to let me find that other content. Well, yeah, to let you know what kind of thing is sitting in the same ballpark as the situation he has described. Yeah. Also I'd say to Russell, you're not even really Australian are you buddy? Is he claiming to be? Well look he's clearly speaking on behalf of all of Australia. No, it's true. And also, well is he an Australian citizen? I don't know actually. You probably. You. You probably have to be to own like part of the South Sydney Rabbitos or whatever.

Probably. Absolutely no way, that's true. Hmm. Well, I think you're right. Look, so it's gone from bad to worse for our old pal Malcolm Turnbull, who seems as though he is steadily losing the plot. And the majority announced as well, right? Yeah. They went down from 75 to 74. They did. They've got less than half. Yeah, they went down for the bigger numbers to the smaller number. Yeah, they went down for the bigger numbers to the smaller number. Yeah, that checks out.

We run a lot of stats on this show. Very numbers heavy. We're like free economics. We did the real research. So it was announced today by I think Christopher Pine doing his rounds that the liberals are going to forego the long-standing tradition of not using your numbers in Parliament to refer people from the opposition to the High Court.

So basically they've said anyone from the Labour Party that we think has a shadow of doubt lingering over them about this citizen shit saga. This citizen shit sandwich. It's not going to happen. I'm going to make a word. This citizenship sandwich. It's a title of the episode right there. So yeah, basically they're going to break a very long-standing convention and start

just referring people to the high court probably on the hope that they are found ineligible to be in their seats. Look, I'm not a legal scholar, but is there anything to stop them from referring literally all of them on the off chance that you know there's like a few hidden ones in there. Well maybe you know there's certainly been a very very notable absence of labor politicians in this batch of people who are getting found to be ineligible for their seats. I'm wondering if Turnbull is kind of headed for a repeat of the situation he found himself in with opposition leader Bill Shorten a couple

of weeks ago when he said, why don't you prove that you're a citizen? And Bill Shorten said, you're saying I'm not a citizen? He won't even prove that he's a citizen. Oh it's a big deal And he kept kicking up a stink. And he walked right into a big, big pit full of shit. When Bill Shorten got up in Parliament and went, here you go. Here's my paper. I'm a citizen. Why don't you now also prove the same thing about all of your people who are currently under a cloud?

And he went, that's different. So the question I've got is, why have none of the labor people been hit yet? What makes labor different from every other sitting party at the moment? Have they just crossed the tears and odd the eyes? The suggestion that I've heard is that Labour's pre-selections are particularly brutal. You mean they've gone down the form and they've hit what I understand to be the first or the second checkbox where it says are you a citizen. And they went, hmm. Yeah I am.

I thought, well, sorry. Maybe we should find out. Them's the rules. I assume they just thin each other out because the whole labor process is so awful that if any potential candidate can find a single floor and another potential candidate before they even go through labor pre-selection, they weed it out then. Yeah, it makes sense. Just exploited to the fullest. Yeah. Yeah it sounds right. Yeah it's entirely possible that maybe

they have actually done what you've described Theo and looked at the stat deck that you sign saying I am definitely a sole citizen of this country in which I am running to be elected representative and then checked Maybe it's just crazy enough to work. That's what I think he's like like, it might help that all the libs are rich people and Nearly all rich people in Australia have like one British parent or whatever. Very much. Now there was another issue this week in the ballpark of candidate vetting. Candidate vetting of a different kind.

With a party that has shown itself to have a long and proud tradition of not vetting its candidates at all on even the most surface level kind of fashion. I would disagree with that and I would say that they're taking an agile approach and they are vetting candidates in real time on camera. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would go further than that and say that they do have a vetting process except they just they don't actually understand what looks bad. So they see all of this and they're like oh well okay he's got one photo where he moded a swastiker in his lawn but it's not that big of a deal and then when the media sees it like,

oh shit hang on. He was doing a salute as well, so it was, yeah, we probably should have checked that one. The party of which we speak is of course Ben and Theo's beloved Queensland institution, one nation. Sorry, Pauline Hanson's one nation, you can't call it. Yeah, fun. You can't call it regular old one nation anymore. It is one nation that belongs to a woman and that woman is Pauling Hansen. Um, yeah, yeah, I don't think of a feminist party. Mm-hmm.

Look, we've delved pretty extensively into this in the past with a friend of the show, Matt Brady. I believe it was episode 5 in which we did a, did a, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. th. th.- th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, the. Yeah, theat theat theat theat theat theat theeat thin, theeeat theat theat the the the. the show Matt Brady. I believe it was episode five in which we did a rundown of recently failed candidates from that party and the ridiculous things which they had failed for, which much like the incident we're about to talk about, just seem like a very simple matter of, did anybody in the party when they accepted this person's nomination do anything like maybe click once on their Facebook page or actually run that police check that the person signed permission for, I'm assuming? The answer to all those things is constantly no. No, nobody knows anything about these people, which leads me to believe a theory that I've

heard posited in the past, which is that one nation candidates are actually self-vetting, which is the people who are asked to run for one nation, say yeah, I'll think about it and then they meet some people from the party and if they are sane, they go, oh fuck no, do I want anything to do with this party? The One Nation, people that would be vetting are too busy taking national media appearances on morning shows that they just keep given to them, photo ops with Burger Urge and Malaney Dairies. So they've got a pretty, pretty full schedule being racist in public that can't be, you know, spent, you know, doing, doing, doing, thing, thing, thing, thing, thing, thing, thing, thing, thiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they, their, their their their their their their thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, a pretty full schedule being racist in public that can't be, you know, spent, you know, doing faggy stuff like paperwork.

Mmm. Pauline herself has a full schedule of things like burker shopping for, you know, burke shopping for her very clever photo opportunities. I wonder how that happened. Who did they get to buy the burker? Well yeah you would have you would have assumed that at some point somebody from the party had to make first person contact with a Muslim. I think they ordered it online. You don't want to get your size up. Oh yeah yeah yeah. Because otherwise can you imagine the just the look on their face like yeah like you say they're like they say. It it it it it it it it it. they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they get they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they to to to to the they they to their they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they. Because otherwise, can you imagine the, just the look on their face, like, yeah, like you said, walking into a store and interacting with an actual Muslim person, and going, oh, can we

get one of the, can we get one of the head dresses? You know, the dresses that start at your head and go to your feet? One of the, uh, the black ghost ghost, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th ghost, th ghost, th ghost, th ghost, th ghost, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their their their 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, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, their, the dresses that start at your head and go to your feet. One of the black ghost costumes please? What's the one that your people hate wearing the most? We want one of them, but it's for a good reason. Yeah, I'm not being forced to do it like you folk. Oh, Pauline. So, you know, there was a beautiful, beautiful press conference that took place this week, in which Pauline Hansen was, you know, as the national leader of the party, was helping

to bolster the chances of one of their local candidates, Mark Thornton, and it took quite a turn when a journalist who apparently had taken the time and effort to click once on his Facebook page, had found out some extra details about this guy, and it was pretty good. Let me just play a short clip of that to you right now. What association do you have with Kimpets' cavern? It's an adult shop. I own. You own that adult shop?

Do you want to the Facebook post on that adult shop? No, that's run by my partner. Okay. So on that Facebook site it says, would it be gray area between tickle-fight and domestic fire months? What do you make of that? I haven't seen that one mate but that probably comes back to 50 shades of grey type. That's out there. Wow. Wow. Wow. Can you tell me what the risk of heart disease. Can you tell me not aware of this.

Can you tell me what side it is, where it's from, and what it's in relation to? What site is Facebook? No, business that your candidate has. There's others on here, at least it's not texting because that would be dangerous, a pretty precarious photo on the type for the face. It's great stuff. And look, I very, very strongly recommend that you watch the video of this because what's really great about it is watching just all the faces on screen from Pauline Hanson's like concerned brow furrowing just trying to figure out what the fuck is happening. To the candidate himself who has these slow wheels turning where you can see him, that, th, and look, and look, and look, and look, and look, and look, and look, and, and, and, and, and, 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, 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, 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, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th, th, th, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, th, I the, I to figure out what the fuck is happening

to the candidate himself who has these slow wheels turning where you can see him slowly coming to the conclusion that maybe I should have told someone about this but the star of the show is the lady standing just behind and between the two of them who has has the most perplexed look of concern on her face that just deepens and deepens as this three minutes elapses. It's very great stuff. I'll link to it in the episode description because it's really worth seeing. And as I've seen people say about this, imagine getting disendorsed halfway through

the press conference. Ah, God bless One Nation. So is he, I don't want to put anyone on the spot, but has he been officially disendorsed to anyone's understanding or are we just sort of like waiting to see if it blows over? I think that she has said that she will not disendorse him over the, um, I think she said that she won't thus that she won't thus that she won't thus that she won't ththe ththe that she won't ththe ththe ththe ththe thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus. the the the theat 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.... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. theeeeeeeeeeee, um, I think she said that she won't disendorse him over the, over the sex shop. And look, I should say from my own perspective, I don't think anyone needs to get disendorsed over, over owning and running a sex shop or whatever. It's just that that would, it would be far less funny if you were, like, from athat actually had like sex positive values. Absolutely. And wasn't it wasn't masquerading as some kind of family-friendly traditionalist. Yeah absolutely and I think yeah I don't

think anyone would is or anyone worth listening to is jumping on the sex shop stuff. I mean the domestic violence joke is probably you know it, it's not great, but from, you know, a lot of people probably doesn't even register, but to not know about this and not have a response to it and not do even the mildest amount of background work I think is very funny. But how many times have they been stunned by exactly this? Hey, here's a Facebook post of your candidate who has mowed a giant swastika into his lawn and is giving a Hitler salute and this is on his Facebook page. Oh. Hey, here's a candidate of yours posting all over Facebook about how the Port Arthur massacre didn't happen and was

a false flag. Oh, I forgot about that one. Yeah, see that's, yeah. That's a bit of fun. Well, the same guy, well, that guy's Port Arthur truth of stuff was actually like a secondary thing to him posting the picture of if I'm sure everybody remembers that particularly heartbreaking photo of the little Syrian refugee boy dead on the beach face down. That that was what that dude had

started off posting about saying that wasn't even real it was a posed photo designed to garner sympathy for you know Muslim Q-jumping refugees and all the sort of fucking horrible stuff. But again, how hard is it? Apparently it's pretty hard. Apparently. Yeah. So a good week for One Nation as usual.

Actually, I retract my sarcasm on that one. It actually is, unfortunately, a good week rule of mention because there is a Queensland election happening. How's that one going boys? Yeah, not good. A two Queensland correspondents going to weigh in on this one? Yeah, I mean, um, you don't want to beat around the bush. It is, this is not going to be good for anybody who is still stuck in this nightmare state because it's way too more expensive to live anywhere else. So, we were discussing Logan City has a 33% swing to One Nation. Now, I guess the only good news, like in all this, there's similar swings, you know, I think that's the biggest one, but the similar swings all over.

I think the only good news out of this is that they are cannibalizing votes from the LNP, but that only has a cosmetic difference because as people are probably very aware, the LNP have preference deal with One Nation above labor, so any votes that they do cannibalise go right back into the same stinking pool of dog shit that is the Queensland government's ever ongoing journey to the right. I mean, fuck, the, even the Labour Party, you know, Labour Party have tried to pull the same thing, but of course people, if you're not going to vote Labour, you're not going to vote Labor, you know, it's going to, if they got a choice between a party that's

pretending to be a little bit right-wing on stuff and the actual real stinking article, they're going to choose the latter... to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the right right right right right right right. to be to be to be the right. the right. to be to be to be the the right right right right right. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to bethey're going to choose the latter every time. Yeah, so I think it's going to be very, very messy and will shake things up on a federal level for quite some time. Gross. Yep. Yeah, when do you think like center-left political parties and governments are going to learn this whole thing that if they try to court right-wing votes by moving to becoming like a center-right or a right-wing party, that they just completely fuck themselves because left-wing voters don't want to vote for a center-right party and right-wing voters don't want to vote for a center-right party and right-wing voters don't want to vote for for what they are told as a

left-wing party masquerading as a right-wing party. Yeah, absolutely. It just never fucking works out for them. Yeah, but the thing is like for a party like the Labor Party, I think moving back to the left would be, would involve admitting mistakes, would involve going over some of their old ground. And I think if you're a labor politician, you were born into shame and you live a life of shame. And so the concept of having to go, well, well, maybe our stuff on on refugees is actually inhumane and beyond the pale.

That would be, you know, having to kind of admit stuff, whereas, you know, people on the right would just happily just, you know, blast straight through any past mistakes because you never want to look backwards, you know. So the, the distant to continue, I guess, losing votes in this fashion for now until, I don't know, until we all die. Look, why would you change direction when you could spurk for the Adani cold mine instead? Yeah, it's a baffling, baffling timing in in Queensland for many many reasons and and yeah I mean I think the Adani the Adani thing on a on a practical level has I guess

emptied any kind of moderate support that they might have within within Queensland and then where you know where are those people going to spill over to? It's, well, it's not labor. And they don't have the numbers for anyone in the Greens to really get up in a meaningful fashion. So it's, you know, it's a lose, lose situation. And it's truly just an ongoing baffling situation that they would destroy the Labour Party over this coal mine.

Ben, are you still comfortable calling Queensland, God's country in your own words? Look, when I said that, no, it's still great. You just have to ignore the people and the politics and about 90% of the state, but other than that perfect and everywhere, completely flawless, wouldn't live anywhere else anywhere, anyone that does is a fool and I stand behind that. Yeah. Hey, Lucy, since I moved away from Melbourne i have not kept any kind of eyes on state politics how's old mate Dan Andrews doing standards it's fantastic he keeps uh... reforming the rental laws

to fuck over landlords and if you go on his Facebook you can just check out a bunch of really mad landlords that mad that tenants are allowed to have pets and can't get evicted for no reason. It's fantastic. I love Dan. Imagine what the Whirlpool forums would look like right now. Oh God. Oh man.

Yeah. Love, Dan Andrews, so bad. I want those pet laws so bad. I just, I want a fucking dog. And I can't do it because it's impossible to rent if you have one. Just please, Dan Andrews somehow become our premier as well. Give us the fucking good shit. No. We should move to a beautiful, the the thrown.

theymeleby. That's right. I like the sun. It's really nice. I don't want the sun. So I don't know why I'm the the the the the the the want the son so I don't know why I'm here. Do you not care for this son? Okay, well moving on, we had some other important events in the country this week. Malcolm Turnbull has been in Vietnam for some kind of very important political conference.

And this isn't a metaphor you're describing of him like being in Nam right now He was he was literally in the country of Vietnam He's in Vietnam like he's he's deliberately staying in Vietnam to avoid coming back to the cluster fuck that waits for him here That's how bad it is here. He would literally rather be in, um, than dealing with his shit in Australia. Um, but look, you know, I don't want to really get into the real politics, because that shit is boring. What I want to get into is something that came up on Malcolm Tumble's Snapchat

in which he said, ooh, I'm having my first ever barn me. So good. Oh God, how. How is that possible? Yeah, how can you be like a middle upper class Australian person who has somehow managed to avoid having a fucking barn me for your entire life? The worst part is that he like, he cast the whole thing in this like globalist frame where he was like Australian wheat in a French style baget in

Vietnam. That just shows what international markets are all about. Yeah and what was the French influence doing there in Vietnam? Let's just connect those little those little dots. Yeah I mean I personally love to keep refugees in a hell prison island while chowing down on a dish that was brought to Australia by Vietnam refugees. Yeah, oh no, they're the good refugees. Oh yeah. Yeah, they happened in the past. As we all know, Australia has a proud tradition of accepting, you know, large groups of immigrants from particular areas and appreciating their food and all that sort of stuff. And also we just kind of blank out that first five or ten years of that group coming here.

Well, we hated them. And then everything's fine. Yeah. Yeah, like when, when Greek people and Chinese people and Vietnamese people started coming here on here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here. Well we hated them. And then everything's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Like when when Greek people and Chinese people and Vietnamese people started coming here on mass, I'm sure that everything was absolutely fine. Oh, it's great. Well, they were lovingly welcomed into every Australian community. And now we've got tasty food. But not the other ones, not the ones we don't like that we put in the camps. That's different.

How has he not had a barn me before? How can you be that out of touch? Dear friend of the show, Tal Waterhouse though has requested for our international listeners a primer on what a barn me is and what makes them so tasty? Oh, it's so good. So good. Now, I'm just, yeah, well, well, I'm going, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, I'm th, well, well, well, well, I'm th, well, th, th, th, tasty. It's so good. So I'm just, yeah, well I'm going to hear you guys with a little fact here. The Ban me is the Vietnamese word for bread. So it's

it is interchangeable both the name of the dish and just the single-sized baguette. That's a, what's that word? It's the name of that movie? Synectickey? Is that what that is? Synecickey? You can describe a thing by just a component of that thing? That's that. Oh it's like dim sum. Is it? Yeah. Is it? Yeah. Do you want to explain that? What? No, you know how people call like a... Like, you know what the Australian understanding of a dim- 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 that is the that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that that is that is that is what that is what that is what that is what that is what that is what that is what that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is the the the the the the the? No, you know how people call like a, like, you know what the Australian understanding of a dim sim is? Mm-hmm. But the actual thing is dim sum, which is the whole blanket term for all of the like little single, single-serving-siased like buns and dumplings and all that sort of stuff that you get at Yum-Char? Hmm. All of that stuff is dim sum. I hope so. I fucking hope so.

I'm in trouble if not. I'm not going to look that up. That's, it's not worth my time. But I will tell everyone and then say that you told me. Yes, thank you. Thank you for believing me. If there's one lesson that we've learned from the last however long that things have been popping off in pop culture, it is believe men. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Dimsum is the style of Chinese cuisine prepared as small bite-sized portions of food served in small steamer baskets or on small plates. Well then. Whooping my sweaty brow right now. My sweaty potentially racist brow. I would contend that that's not an example of Synecickey though. It's like, it's like, uh, if you refer to a car as like, that's my wheels, that would be Synecickey, because, it's the weird. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, that, that, thi. that, thi. thi, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well, well. Well, well. Well, it, it, it. Well, it. Well, it. Well, it, it. It. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it. It's, it's, it's, it's a. that, it's, it's a, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, I. that, I. that's, I. that's not, I. that's not, well, well, well, well, well, well, it's like a if you refer to a to a car as like that's my wheels That would be synecicky because the wheel is a smart

All right, I'm getting well you can't see this because this is a form of digital radio. I'm getting very weird looks at the podcast. I've decided not to pursue that tangent any further All right number one do you own a car? Well, I've owned a car in the past. How often did you refer to that car as your wheels? All the fucking time. It was my wheels, my whip, my beast, my lady. What about that character in the original Degrassi Junior High series who was disabled and in a wheelchair and his name was Wheels? That's also an example of Seneca. All right, I'll take it. All right, so hang on, a barn main.

It's good. Back to the barn main. Yeah. Let's have, we've totally changed barn meeting. It's good. Back to the barn main. Let's have, we've totally changed courses here. Let's come back to the primer. The primer is that it is a delicious French style baget. Let's not get into where the French influence comes into it. It's unpleasant. You can watch the director's cut of Apocalypse Now, if you like. If you have them, please do.

Yeah, that's got the whole French plantation deleted scene. Good scenes. Good scenes, good French characters. Get into them, but they're missing from the theatrical release. Look, you know, you can get yourself some roasted pork belly on there. Sometimes it's steamed. There's a lot of pork there's the pork pate a spreadable pork liver pate may be a bit of pork floss some vegetables you got to have your chili on there yeah you got a pickled carrots

can't be any punk bitch going in there and saying no chili on mine things I ask for half chili yeah aren't me too spicy. I'm pretty sure that you've we've gone to the barn me place around the court from my house and every time you have abstained from getting chili. No I get half chili. I'm not going to stand for this I get half chili. Even half chili. Like no one has ever asked for that before. You are the only person that comes in and they. 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'm. I'm the. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not the the they. I'm not to. I'm not they. I'm not to. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm too. I'm too. I'm the. I'm the. I. I. I the. I the. I the. I. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the the. I the the the the the the the 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 to to to to to too. I'm not too. I asked for that before. You are the only person that comes in, and they see you, and they're like, oh God, it's the half-chilly guy. I'm trying to get better, but I admit where I am today, which is not no chili, not full chili, it's half-chilly, okay?

I think I would prefer trying to do better. It doesn't acknowledge me that I've denied getting no chili for the last six months and ruined the careers of anyone who has. It sounds like Theo is saying that he's trying to work on his tolerance for other cultures. I am. It's good that we can finally confirm on air that he has up until now been extremely racist. Very intolerant. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I I. I. I I. I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've th. that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've that I've th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. theeean. thi. thean. thean. thean. thean. that I've that I've thi. that we can finally confirm on air that he has up until now been extremely racist. Very intolerant.

I'm trying to work up my tolerance for the Vietnamese. Look, it's delicious stuff. If you've got a smearing of butter. Best part, I reckon. So much butter. So much. Look Theo, like chili on one one of these is often just like, I'm going to. 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, I'm th, I'm th, I'm th, very. th, very. th, very. th, very. Very. Very. Very. Very. Very. Very. Very. Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very. Very. Very. Very. Very. Very. Very. Very. Very. Very. Very. Very, very, very, very, very, I, very. Very. Very. Very. So much butter. So much. Look Theo, like chili on one of these is often just like, I'm going to say like, you know, four to six small circles of sliced chili. Oh, no, no. I've got, so this place, there's a, if you're in Brisbane, there's a really good little Vietnamese, um, like fast food place in Roma Street station. That's the only good thing. The one Vietnamese place, yep.

Yep, in Roma Street station. And they do, theirs is actually like a pickled chili. It comes out in like a, they spread it out with a spoon and it's, uh, too spicy. So, look, just, it's thank you for actually saying too spicy well what a plane noise we're getting there I'm assuming it's not going to be picked up on the other that's one of the three planes flying into the Brisbane Airport today. Look, it's delicious. It's a delicious food. We strongly recommend it. We're not going to get into any any corriander talk. Why you've got to have shitloads of corriander on there.

You've got to have a coriander on it. So It's not for debate because that's a given. Yep. So why would we shy away from that? Yep, absolutely. Lucy, how do you feel about corianna? I love the corolla on it. I love the coro-dea, I'll leave for it. Got a pile it on there.

All right. If you ask them to not put coriander on your ban me, you're a fucking fool. You're banned from the show. Very racist. You are racist if you don't like corianda. Ugh, if you even come in here trying to call it cilantro. Jesus Christ. I had a hell time in America trying to just deliberately avoid situations where I would have to say the fucked American versions of things. I will never say basil. I will th from th from th from th. th. th. th. th. th th. th. You th. You th. You to to th. You to to th. You th. You th. You to to th. You th th th th th the. You the the. You thi. You the. You're the. You the. You the. Very the. Very the. Very the. Very the. Very the. Very the. Very the. Very. Very the. Very th. Very th. Very th. Very th. Very th. Very th. Very th. Very th. Very th. Very th. Very th. You th. You th. You th. You th. You th. You thi. You thi. You the. You theeeeeeeeeeeeeeanananananeeeeeeananeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea theeeeeeeeee. Very the fucked American versions of things. I will never say basil. I will never say that in my life. Or red pepper for

the large sweet vegetable that is not hot. Mmm. A bell pepper. A bell pepper. Unbelapap. Unbelievable. What the fuck America? Oh, ridiculous. Extra cilantro and basil. Oregano? Terrible. What the fuck? Love those herbs. Ugh. Did you have to call, yeah, did you have to call like a waiter, a server?

No, that did not come up. Because I was eating out of bins, so I wasn't I wasn't really near any restaurants or cafes or anything. Oh, so you got to you got to avoid the tipping conversation then. Well, yeah, that I was, that the first time I went to the States, I was genuinely terrified of that because I am a tiny baby who gets crippling social anxiety about even things I fully understand. And I I I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I was like th. I was like th. I was just like th. I th. I was just th. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I was th. I was th. I was thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi toe toeeeeeeeeeeean toean toeean toeean toean teean tean tean te an te an thi te an tiny baby who gets crippling social anxiety about even things I fully understand. And just like the slight differences in social mares will just make me like crumble. Like, you know, I'd like any time I had to say something I was sort of unsure about

about what they would call something, I'd say it really tentatively and quietly I guess as a result of my fear. And then they wouldn't hear me because of a combination of that in my accent. And then where they asked me what I said, I would just get like terrified and then stop trying to ask what I was asking because I got too nervous. I loved being alive. It's great. Yeah. I remember being in the states when I was like 12 and I'm being in a fast food restaurant. And I wanted, after I'd had my meal, I wanted another serve of curly fries, because I'm a big boy. And I went to the counter and said,

one more curly fry, please. And the lady working behind the counter said, in a thick Hispanic accent, a phrase which I had never heard uttered before in my life, which was to go. But in her accent it sounded like she was saying, tugot? And I didn't know what was happening at all. And I said, what? And this lady said, to go? And I said, what?

And she said, to go? And I said, what? And she said, to go? And I said, what? And this lady said, to go? And I said, what? And she said, to go? And I said, what? And she said, to go? And I said, what? And you'll never guess what she said after that. She said, get out of here, you racist child. And I said, what?

And we would have been there for hours. We might might th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho that, and she said, tho tho tho tho to say, to say, to say, to say, and she said, and she said, and she said, and she said, and she said, and she said, and she said, and she said, and she said, and she to say, and she to say, and I to say, and I to say, to to to to to say, to to to to th. And th. And, th. And, tho. And, tho, tho, tho, tho, and to to tho. And to to to to to to to to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to to to hours. We would absolutely have been there for hours. We might be here for hours. Yeah, if one of my parents hadn't come over and just said, yes, yes, please. So I had no idea what was happening. Because what are people, what are people say in Australia? Take away. Hmm. Have here or take away. As God intended. Yep. I was not prepared for that clash of cultures. But I was a child. I was not an adult man traveling overseas. I'm able to say different phrases.

Look, we all of us have our weaknesses. Mine is living in the world as it stands in any fashion. Yes, being spoken to by people that you have not already known for years and years. Look, it's tough. It's awful. I agree, it's bad. I agree. It's bad.

Well, I mean, you made a great choice then to travel overseas for months at a time by yourself, being forced to interact with people you don't know about things you don't, their, th........... their, th. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, 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. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, the the to. the the toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to me me. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to being forced to interact with people you don't know about things you don't understand law points. Well, that was kind of deliberate. I was just hoping if I force myself to do things that make me uncomfortable enough, I'll eventually be fine with them. Like this is a wonderful example. So again, not saying that this is normal, justifiable behavior, but yeah, any new situation I just get very, but yeah any new situation I just get very very uncomfortable with the like FPOS machines at server stations in the states are

all very fickle because you have to pay in advance at the pump and some of them require a five-digit zip code for your card which because Australian cards don't have them, so you can't actually use them, or it's, well, which is not true. Some of them, if you put in five zeros and your thing doesn't have a zip card or work or whatever, anyway, it basically meant that I, was just keeping a list in my head of the server stations that I knew I could use because I didn't want to go through the interaction of paying inside for some reason because it made me really nervous to the point that the first time I did the trip, I was like getting like I had the thing on empty and I would see a service station, be

like oh no, that's not one of the brands that I know works and then keep driving just sort of praying that I would see the one that I needed next. Never back fired back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back back the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to to to that I needed next. Never backfired, surprisingly, but it definitely put me at a lot of very unnecessarily hairy situations because I'm dumb as shit. Millennials, man. Millennials. Oh, God, we are the worst. Especially me.

I saw that thing the other day, well, I was several weeks ago now, saying, you know, most millennials just like wouldn't answer the door if they weren't expecting someone and someone came to their door. And everyone just replied going like, why the fuck would you answer your door? Like, there's nothing good there on the other side. What possible good thing could there be when I open the door? I have to do it. I have to do it. I saw that because because because because because because way someone could go to my door and not know that I'm there. They're just waving through one of your many open windows. Oh, actually, so one time, when I first started like making pot brownies at home,

one of the, you know, like the first 30 to 50 nights that I ate some I had far too much, because, you know, it the first 30 to 50 nights that I ate some I had far too much because you know it's a it's a learning process. One of those nights I had decided to take some after I finished work which is at like 11 p.m. So I ate two, fell asleep before they kicked in, but then got woken up at 3 a.m. by someone like hammering on my back door and And I was like, I'm probably imagining that because I'm fucking high as shit right now. Let it go for a while. He just kept hammering and then he started like yelling and helling out some other dude's name.

And I'm like, I already get really paranoid when I get high, so I just assume that all of this was like me hearing some noise from next door or whatever and then inventing the scariest possible scenario out of it. But he just kept going and he was there for like an hour until I just had to be like, like I was still lag in bed because I was too high to get up but luckily my apartment, very small, make any noise, someone at the door will hear it. I was just like um hi and he was like, hi and he was like, is James there? I was like, thii. And the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. he thi. hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea' hea hea hea he's he's he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he thi. He he thi. He's was that the the. He's was the. He's was the. He's was the. He's was the. He was the. He was the. He was the. He was the. He was he was there the. He's James there? I was like, no, James lives here or has lived here. He's like, is he your neighbor? And I'm like, no, the only person that lives in this building is like, oh, why didn't you answer the door earlier? And I was like, I was asleep. And then he walked off.

It's a range of issues, I'll have to detail for you. It's a very long story, but please go away. that horrifying that was... Oh my goodness. Like yeah I was very convinced that I was going to be murdered. Don't do drugs. Just kidding. Drugs are really good. I'm going to do drugs. I'm going to knock at the door the other day and like all of us immediately jumped like a cat and went what the fuck! And I went to the door the other day and, um, like all of us, immediately jumped like a cat and went, what the fuck? And I went to the door and it was this lady who just keeps harassing me about my cat. And by harassing I mean, she just, she has phoned us previously because of the number on our cat's tag and said, I'm just worried about your cat

it's very very friendly and I just I see it out just worried about it getting hit by a car it just it comes over to me it crosses the street and I'm just worried and I'm like the cat's an adult leave the cat alive fine It's a cat Jesus yeah she came to the door again the other day and the cat, I can see the cat in the background. Like she's talking to me, the cat is right there lying on the driveway and the sun, completely relaxed. She's like, I'm really worried about your cat.

It comes out and it follows me and gets patts and then it follows me like across the street. I'm like this cat has been alive for a long time fucking around near roads. She is a car and she just gets right the fuck out of the way. Is this woman unfamiliar with the concept of outdoor cats? Like cats are fucking everywhere. They're all over the place. Yep.

Just leave my cat alone, lady, if you're listening to the podcast please please please please stop calling these people about their cat please respect Cuscus boundaries that's right Cuscus deserve to be free let her make her mistakes she's totally fine look we're gonna come back to a recurring segment right now. And this segment is one that you know and love, and it's called,

Wani Watch. And we got a new theme song for Oney Watch. I'm gonna play it for you right now. Where in the world is Shane Warren? Shane One is over here. It's Shane Warren. Shane One is over here. It's Shane Warren. Now I love in saying this segment's name, you didn't go with the name that we've called it for the last month, and you didn't also go with the new name that you proposed the

Swarty, which is a wide world of where's Warnie? You came up with some other, it's total tangent name. That's just a song. That's just a song. It doesn't mean anything. Okay. We were calling it Warnie Watch previously, were we? No, we're calling it. Where's Warnie? I'm sorry, everybody. I would also like to point out that instead of recording, say, a full theme song, you... You recorded a theme song and then karaoke just two your own the song. their their thane thane them your them your thome thome tho your tho your tho your tho your tho your tho your tho your own tho- them them them song, you recorded a theme song and then karaoke just do your own theme song, live on the podcast. Oh my God.

Well, look, we can go two ways with this. I can actually do a theme song or I can make a recording. Let's just keep doing this. Every time. Do it live every damn time. Okay, I'm going to go with this. Let's just keep... Don't record anything every time. Do it live. Every damn time. Okay, I'm gonna go with that. So look, we don't have any super up-to-date news about Warnie. As we discussed recently, all the charges were thrown out about him punching that porn star in the face or was she a prostitute? Which one was she? Who knows? Not to say he didn't do it though. He holds a lot of sway in the

courts. Yeah look he's living in the UK and we all we all know how the UK police will gladly treat a celeb. They'll help them hide in an Ecuadorian embassy? Is that? Is that what they do? Yeah, that well, well, yeah you could also go down the the the the the the th th th to go to go th to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go 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 th. th. th. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to the. to the. the. the. toe. the. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to. the do? Yeah, well, yeah, you could also go down the Jimmy Savile Road of the police will consciously help you cover up a litany of crimes for decades if you're on the tele. So, no very current news, but I did see an article which was pulled from the archives which was Warnie telling the tale of the time that he sledge the South African cricket team so hard that one of them pulled a gun on him which I thought was worth mentioning. Now before we begin would anybody like to tell our international listeners what sledging is. Yeah so I mean I'm sure they've got anybody like to tell our international listeners what sledging is?

Yeah, so I mean I'm sure they've got the same, to they, surely in baseball, they would have the same thing. We've got, you've got someone who spends a long time behind the batsman, you know, like a wicketkeeper and cricket or... I believe that's the catcher? I know who I'm getting to them. And uh... short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short short. th. th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm sure I'm sure, I'm sure I'm th. I'm tho. I'm tho. I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure I'm s. I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure I'm s. I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure. I'm s. I'm sure. I'm s. I'm s. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. I'm sure. thi. thi. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure th. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm I know who I'm getting to them. And... Short stop, if you will. Absolutely, all of those. You know, and you've got to, you just got to have some friendly drives with the, with the batsman to put him off guard. I think my favorite one...

They're going to be racist. All of the great sledges in Australia history have been deeply, deeply racist and very loudly. No, okay, so my favorite, my favorite sledge, which you know, may be apocryphal, but it's assigned to Glenn McGraw. I can't remember who was batting, but Glenn McGraw was bowling and first baller the match, he says, hey, such and such. How's your wife and my kids? A classic. Classic. Classic. Classic cricket.

Yeah, so actually, please do write into the show if you have a more specific American as you know of. Also, also the best sledges you know of. Yes, my entire understanding of American sports comes from the film Basketball. It's like Basketball, really. Which is all just sledges? Yeah, or psych-outs if you will. Yes, I'd like to say I watched that movie recently because it was trending on Netflix and you know what? Holds up. Shit's still good. That's, uh, that funny stuff. That's thi th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. That's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the th. the the the the thi-s comes th comes th comes th comes comes comes comes th comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes comes. the s-s. 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. th. th. thi-s thi-s thi-s. thi-s. thooo-s. thooo' thi-s' thia' thia' thia. thia. thi. thi. that movie recently because it was trending on Netflix and you know what? Holds up. Shit's still good. That funny stuff. The scene in the hospital?

Oh, it's great. It's all good stuff. I think I only realized really recently that it's um directed by Jeff Zucker who's the same guy who did like flying high and naked gun. Yeah, absolutely I only realized that. Yeah, he means airplane. He means airplane. The film Airplane. He's obviously, it's very simple. I don't know which one is the proper one. Which one's the proper American one. Airplane. the plane is the name of that film. Why did they change it to flying high in Australia? Because we're very dumb. We also couldn't toler tolerate toler tolerate the film the film the film the film the film the film to tolerate the film the film to tolerate the film to tolerate the film the film the film the film the film the film the film the film the film the flying high in Australia. Because we're very dumb. We also couldn't tolerate the film, The Mighty Ducks being called the Mighty Ducks. So they called it Champions.

No. Really? Yep. I feel like they changed that one. Look, I've gone on about this at length on the internet. I've become very mad online in the past about the extremely dumb things that they have 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 their to to their their, to their, to to their, their about the extremely dumb things that they have to rename films for their release in Australia. And like, I would understand it if they were really Americanized terms and the American

release was titled one thing and then everything else, like everywhere else in the world, was title something else. But it's very often specifically Australia, leading me to believe that the rest of the world thinks that we're pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty the that we're thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi-d. Yeah thi-n't 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.I.I.I.I.I. And, thi.I's, thi. And, thi. And, thi.I. And, thi. And, thi. I's, th rest of the world thinks that we're pretty dumb. Yeah, I mean it was super weird that they renamed Blade Runner to Drongo Robots and I don't really know what they were going for. Drongo Robots isn't the original title? No, it's Blade Runner in America. It's super weird. Did they do the same with the sequel? Drongo Robots a bit later? It was Blade Runner 2049 and I don't understand. Oh my God. Doesn't even make sense.

Right? No, shocked. How does a blade run? You know going into it. But yeah, it's crazy. Anyway. So look, bascable ball holds up. It's good.

I'm into it. So if you do have a more specific term for sledging in the American context, please let us know. So I'll just read to you a bit from an article here about Shane Warnes, legendary sledging. It's not specifically referred to here, but I'm going to assume it was pretty racist. Yeah, like, it's Australians talking to people outside of the to assume it was pretty racist. Yeah like it's it's Australians talking to people outside of their own country so come on. Plus it's in Australians in South Africa which is like a like a heightened nexus of racism. Well here's a little note that I

appreciated so here we go. Australians have always been the unofficial kings of sledging in international crickets, and I suppose it's unofficial because it's not an actual part of the sport, it's just being a dick. But sometimes, getting under the opposition skin can land you in some hot water. Shane Warren learned that the hard way against Siertefrica during the Proteus World Tour in 1993, the first time they played an official test series in Australia after a lengthy band due to apartheid. Like this is the first thing they got outside of the country after that. The former Ozzy spinners tie-raid of sledges against the Proteas was so brutal that

it was only a matter of time before one of them bit back. All rounder Brian McMillan, a target of warns that series, was so aggravated by his trash talk that he sent an ominous note to the spinner with a strong warning. It said, quote, warning, thousands of people go missing a day in South Africa. One fat leg spinner won't be missed. And quote. On the matter as Shane says, quote, I thought nothing of it. Until we went to to to to to to 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the trash trash trash the trash the trash trash trash trash trash trash trash trash trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the trash the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. trash. tr Shane says, quote, I thought nothing of it. Until we went to South Africa, it was lunch in Johannesburg and we were just starting to tuck in when McMillan stormed in wielding a gun which he had borrowed from a policeman outside shouting, right, I've had enough of your Australians. It was scary for a second or two, then we all laughed, end quote.

Wow. That's a pretty fickle mood in the room... 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, 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 thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thoooooooooo' thoooooo' theeeeatuuuui. thoooooo' to tho' thi. two, then we all laughed, end quote. Wow. That's a pretty fickle mood in the room. The gun, which he had borrowed from a policeman. Yeah, I like, I like that a cop would have been like, of course. Yeah. Of course, Brian. Yeah. Now, while we were talking about warning, uh, Theo sent me a video because he remembered his favorite

shame-worm related controversy, which is known as the cart-bowl-can't-throw controversy. And this was a situation in which there was a test match happening and somebody was caught on a live mic and affects Mike on the field saying about a bowler can't bowl can't throw and a lot of accusations were leveled that it was in fact dear friend of the show Shane Warnie warn who had said it uh... it got into a whole bunch of other stuff where a cameraman had to come forward, a channel nine cameraman had to come forward and say, no, it was in fact me who said it, and dear sweet warny is innocent.

And you know, it was on a current affair, classic show, a current affair. But on reviewing the video, there was a little wrinkle featuring another friend of the show that we didn't even take into account. Let me just play the clip for you right now. That, of course, wasn't the only thing that came out of the game. It's a match she also remembered for Scott Mueller's second test. And a much publicized comment picked up on an effects microphone, can't throw. That's a throw. Initially it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was it was attributed it was attributed it was attributed it was attributed it was attributed it was attributed can't bowl, can't throw. Initially, it was attributed to Shane Warren.

Let's remind ourselves. Warns consistently denied making this comment during the second test against Pakistan in Hobart. Despite an admission from cameraman Joe Privatera that he made the remarks, federal Labour MP Mark Latham believes both are lying. Under parliamentary privilege, Mr Latham labelled the whole issue a cover-up. Strike smithere of the Joe the cameraman is in fact Joe the Patsy. Oh man. Oh my friend Mark Latham. Maybe Mark was always crazy.

Incisive political wit that he's cutting through the bullshit addressing the real issues. Real outsider there. I like the fact that he has used his parliamentary privilege. Would anybody like to explain that for people who don't know Australian politics no good? You can say whatever you want in the chamber and they can't do shit to you. Oh except right the speaker or whatever can say whatever you want in the chamber and they can't do shit to you. Oh, except the speaker or whatever can say, hey. Don't say that. Hey, come on, mate.

Don't, that's defamation except it's not because you got parliamentary privilege, but don't? Don't you do it. Yeah, so basically you can level accusations in a public forum that you would not be able to in any other way without being you know sued for defamation or whatever as long as you do it under parliamentary privilege. You could for instance go in there and name a list of suspected pedophiles. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. Oh yes.

Dear friend of the show, Darren Hinch. He's born for this. Oh my God. My God. Does he still have a radio show? I hope not. I don't think so. I don't know.

Let's hope not. Yes, Darren Hinch, as soon as he became a senator? Yeah, Senator. Senator. Yep, he had threatened for quite a while to use his platform to read out a list of people that he believed to be pedophiles. I wouldn't even say that he threatened to do it.

He campaigned on it. That was like a large part of his thing. Yeah, to, th. Yeah, th. thia, thia, th. thi thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi-I-I-I-I-I-I-I's thi-I's thi-Ia-Ia-ni-ni-ni-ni-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s, thi-a-s, thi-a-s, thi-a-s. thi-a-s. thi-s, thi-s, thi-s. thi-s, thi-s. thi-s. thi-s. thi-s. thi-s. thi-s. thanananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananananed-a-a-a-a he threatened to do it. He campaigned on it. That was like a large part of his thing. Yeah, naming pedophiles. What was the name of his party? The... Justice and Darren Hitch will publicly name pedophiles party. Yep. I think it was the Derenge Justice Party, yeah. And that is specifically what he was referring to. Yep. Naming and shaming pedophiles. Mm-hmm. Oh.

Well, look, as I, you know, on a previous episode, Theo and I had to publicly state the position of this podcast as an anti-peto podcast. So, you know, we can only say that I guess we endorse the Darren Hinge Justice Party? Sure. Sure, why not.

Sure. Yeah, don't look too far into that one, anyone. Anyway, I just thought it was definitely worth noting that weird, cooked brain, Ospole figure, Mark L Latham who has of course completely gone off the deep end been fired from all of his jobs and columns in mainstream media and so now considers himself an quote-unquote outsider who yeah he's now also working for the Canadian extremely racist right-wing Internet channel rebel TV

Yeah, even back then when he was a an elected member of the labor party. Apparently he chose to use his time and resources to do things like level accusations at cricket players that they were engaged in cover-ups. Well, yeah, he's clearly a man who has grand designs, always focused on the big picture. He just wants what's best for Australia. Not getting distracted by weird, by weird, um, coozy hairbrain theories. Or by someone saying they're going gonna ram them with their car. He certainly wouldn't decide to get fully engaged with that for a number of days. He definitely wouldn't.

He definitely wouldn't make fake accounts. Well, Nikki got banned from Twitter for saying that she would ram Mark Latham with her car, which is fair enough. Which is, yeah, it's really difficult to explain to someone the level of irony you're on where I'm going to ram you with my car. It's a pretty explicit threat. That's probably things pretty explicit if you're not on that level of irony, I guess. Which everyone should be, but not all this can be.

Oh, absolutely. Well, otherwise you wind up accidentally taking threats of anti-fa super soldiers, seriously. Holy shit. There's a lot of banning going on on Twitter at the moment. Yep. Shout up, friend of the show, Krang T Nelson. For his accidentally concocted gigantic Antifa Super Soldier conspiracy theory. Genius. Good stuff. So dear friend of the show

Nikki formerly at Wine Mum on Twitter as we have shouted her out many times on the show before. I believe she is now on Twitter as Nick underscore Bobbies. So you know, go follow her if you followed her previously and now do not follow her because she has been banned from Twitter thanks to Mark Latham cricket conspiracy theorist. Yeah. Yeah. And an amateur race scientist. I would argue that it's actually quite difficult to be a professional race scientist.

Probably. Yeah, market's pretty tough and tough at the moment. Over-saturated market. Yeah. I don't know. I think that his calipers, like he got out of like one of those gumball machines, or the claw machine. They're not, they're not real skull calipers. Yeah, mostly we do, phrenology is largely digital these days. Oh dear, so, you know, that's the Buntakram Pass for this week is, um...

Ram Mark Lafen with your car. Theoretically and ironically ramming Mark Lafen with your car. I would say seriously, literally. I'm so glad I'm not the one saying these this week. Just for once, just for once Ben isn't the one urging a real and legitimate crime and then insisting that you will be immunized from prosecution by the Budeauvista crime past. Not like a murder, just like just hit him with the car a little bit. Oh like Love Tap.

Just like a nudge. Yeah, like a little nudge. A little love tap. Just carve him. Just like get his, just get in like the inside of his knee so he just kind of, he does those ones. Yeah, so something falls over a bit. I'm racist. I'm racist. I. I let's split the difference. Pull up alongside him at a moderate speed and open your car door so that it hits him.

Because that's not, it's hardly fatal, especially for a man of his proportions. I would have thought that the damage would be worse to the door. Yeah. Yeah. So do or don't do that. And if you do do it, do or don't tell them that we told you to do it. Well, preferably don't. I mean, you have to tell them we told them so they know they have the crime pass. Yeah, but I still haven't even done the certificates on the website. Oh, we should do that. Yeah, I gotta get under it. If only one of us was a professional graphic designer.

Yep. Here we are. Here we are. Here we are. But I hear that Theo can use the Gimp. So. Absolutely you cannot. Look, I'm just saying it's free. All right, I didn't say it was good.

Mmm, you shouldn't say it's good. The interface is bad. It does what you need. No, it doesn't. Some of the online ones have upper limits on the size of canvas you can use, which is not particularly helpful. All right, so that's why GIMP sometimes is good to have if you don't have Photoshop. For fuck sake.

Look, I fire up on this one because as a person who has professionally used Photoshop for many, many years, every time I hear someone say, just good GIMP, have you ever tried to use it? Jesus Christ. It's a toilet, for sure. How did you describe it, Theo? I can't remember. Oh it was for people who fit for people who install Linux on their own. On their mom's computer yeah. Yes. Yeah mom it's free and well. Ubuntu is actually very user-friendly. It's basically Windows. All right, let's wrap this up. Yeah, we're not going to get into that. But on the old Tech Watch segment,

a cast member has in fact been streaming. Streaming online. Lucy is now a Twitch streamer. I'm a Twitch streamer. I'm going to be very, very famous, very rich. She's now a gamer for pay. Yep. There's no pay. Lucy would like to tell people where they can find you? Ah, Lucy X-I-B, same as my Twitter name on Twitch.

I still don't understand it. Don't get it. Don't know if I have to get my tits out or something. I mean, I don't really... I think if you want people like buy you a Nintendo Switch or whatever, you know. Oh, okay. I think getting your tits out, that's a short game though. I think you're better off suggesting that you will get your tits out.

Yeah. Ah, I'm getting it. Getting the money. Yeah. You can string someone along to not this one, but definitely, I think a lot of people would keep going a really long time. Ah, thanks to good-bye, Ben. No, it makes me horny boys. Oh no.

Money. Yeah, so get along with that. If you are like me, you will have to create an actual account just to type a boo. Just to haulay me while I'm playing Call of Duty. Yep. Uh, yep, I dropped in briefly for that. Please don't bully me. I'm very sensitive. Yep.

So anyway, get along to that if you are into watching, um, Lucy shoot people in the back with shotguns on call the duty. Hell yeah. Yeah. And that is it folks. Anybody else got any other? Hell yeah. Yeah. And that is it, folks. Anybody else got any other announcements? Anything else?

No. No. No one's got anything popping off. Please do not vote for the Liberal Party. In Queensland. Also, hopefully we'll have the results of... Marriage equality. When this postal survey.

When this comes out, on Wednesday. Mmm. Yep. Uh, very soon. So I really, really hope that the next episode that we record will just be able to do a whole lot of very gay gloating. Should we take bets on what everyone thinks the result's going to be? Uh, I'm, I'm going to say yes. I'm going to go, 69, thx, thx, tho, tho, tho, tho, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, to go, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the the the the the the the the the the the thoom, thoom, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom.a, tha, tha, tha, to be? Uh, I'm, yeah, I'm going to say yes.

I'm going to jigs it to say yes. I'm going to go, 69% yes. Nice. Yeah, I'll agree. 69% yes, seems reasonable. Are we all going all in here? Well, it's pretty close to what my estimate was going to be, uh, my gut feeling is that it's going to be yes but worse than people think.

So probably around 65. Because nothing good can ever happen. Yeah, and so then we're going to have to deal with conservatives for the rest of our lives being like, well, 35% of the country don't agree with your cultural, Marxist view of marriage, your homos. So I reckon 65-35-35. 45% of the country you can suck on these nuts. Oh can they? Oh that's quite interesting.

Hmm. Like it doesn't have to be that 35% of the country. Anyway, so folks, get along to the old Patreon if you would like to support the show for five bucks. It's less than a beer. It's less than one beer a month. Depends what size of what you get. Well, come on. If you get like a pot, you get a pot for like four bucks.

Yeah. Well, things really are cheaper in Brisbane. It's a miracle city. All you've got to put up with is 33% swings to one nation. What is happening in your house right now? It doesn't matter. Just... Yeah what's going on in there? To finish this episode. All right folks we're gonna leave it there. We love you all very much. Big kisses to everyone. M-ma-ma. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Ah, he is.
