Can you put me through to Santa please? To Santa?

Can you put me through to Santa please? You don't understand? I don't, look, I just need, I urgently need to speak to Santa, can you put me through, please? Can you just put me through to Santa? Can you put me through please? Can you just put me through, put me through to Santa? Can you please just put me through? All right. Is there level six business manager, I deliver a message after the people return you again.

Hello, yes. Now this is the fourth year in a row that I have left you a message that you have not responded to. And look I appreciate that you are a very very 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 put to put to put to put to put to put to put to put to put to put to put to put to put me to put me to put me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to put me to put me to put me to put me to put me 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 thuuuu. thea thea thean thean thean thean. put me toldld me to me to me to me to me told me peolu. to mea to put me a row that I have left you a message that you have not responded to. And look, I appreciate that you are a very busy man, but I should like if you indulge me just once, and this is the last time I should try this. Look, I know you have a certain ponchon for getting me socks. Every year it's been socks. It's been Argyle sock. That will simply not do as I am a man of ambition and I must have the requisite tools to embark on this ambition having come of age now. Now firstly, I should like a bronze microphone. Now this must specifically be bronze. I don't wish to impinge on the territory of Mr John Laws.

I shall increase the ounce weight of the metal as my standing in the radio industry grows, but for now I should very much like a bronze microphone. Now, secondly, I understand there's some architect of Lego. Now, if you have anything in the style of, say, a suburban library from about the 1960s, known later than 1963, I would very much appreciate that. As it will remind me of what might have been, had we desisted in building anything new after 1986, yes, I shall not go into that. Thirdly, I should like some shirts with French cuffs as I have a th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th, anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything anything have have have have have have have have have to have to have to have to have th, anything anything anything anything anything anything anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had had, had had, had, had, had had, had, had had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had, had I will, yes, I shall not go into that. Thirdly, I should like some shirts with French cuffs as I have a number of important

social engagements over the course of the year and one must dress well for such events. Fourthly, I would appreciate if you should give me some vouchers for fighting lessons. I had had my feel of being relentlessly bullied both on mediums electronic and physical. Now, 2018 shall not be a year that I will continue to enjoy this. Now given the change in my approach that my determination to overcome might suggest, Santa I should warn you that as my message last year went on answered if this happens again, the gloves are indeed off and I will block you! I will block you! I'll block you! I'll block you! Ho ho ho! Merry podcast.

Sure one. Welcome. Welcome to Punta Vista Socialist and this is our inaugural. Welcome to Punta Vista Socialist Club and this is our inaugural War on Christmas episode. I'm joined here by Jolly St. Ben. Hello, glad to be back at number one. Number two on the friends list. And of course everybody's most beautiful, helpful elf, Theo. Excuse me. It's not because you're a small man of

all stature, it's because you're a very helpful person. It's not at all related to your elf-like figure. Yeah, Elfine features, nothing like that. It's completely not associated to that at all. So here we are guys. It's the end of the year. We've done it. Can I just say, that Christmas theme was absolutely amazing.

That it seems like the Christmas stuff was in the same key as the other stuff. I just assumed that you were just going to tack some bells over the top of it. I mean you did that as well. But, but but that. that it. that's. that's, it. that's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's it's the the the the that's that's the the that's the the that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's the the the other stuff. I just assumed that you were just going to tack some bells over the top of it. I mean you did that as well, but that was... That's a requisite. The bells are requisite. It's genuinely lovely. It's almost like you know what you're doing. Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. I put absolute minutes, minutes of effort into that. Several at a time consecutively. Did you hit the keys yourself or on the little Glock and Spiel? Or did you click them on the timeline one by one? Like I got out, I got out a little, a little Mitty keyboard and I plugged it in.

So I played a, I played a virtual Glock and Speal if you did you, did you quantize them afterwards or you leave those babies O'Natural? I adjusted several notes but I did not quantize them all. All right, 50-50. I'm 50-50 of that one. Not a professional Glock and Spieler. My sister is a Glock and Speelist. She played the Glock and Spill in the 2000 Olympics

opening ceremony. Well, that's definitely the most specific family trivia that you are going to get out of this episode. Absolutely. And thank you to her for representing our country in that extremely narrow niche of ways that you can represent them, I guess. Sorry, I'm dying. What specifically? What specifically? Oh, just all of it. That's a specific Australian thing I've ever heard.

My sister played clock at spiel at the City Olympics. Opening ceremony, yeah. Of course, of course. Oh my goodness. And those were the Olympics that eradicated racism in Australia, so finally her for being part of that. Oh, racism against whites, which is the worst kind. Yeah Lucy is not with us.

She she pested us repeatedly to do a Christmas episode very specifically. She also hassled me to no end to do a Christmas theme. She demanded it and then let us know about two hours before recording that actually she was doing something else. Yeah, she's being held down by Adam Driver while he builds a cupboard around her. That's right. That is right. Lucy went to see the new Star Wars movie several times, and from what I understand, her legs don't work now. She tries to stand up and she thinks of Adam Driver and then her legs get all wobbly like a baby baby deer and she

has to just collapse, collapse onto the fainting settee you know. She's getting rid of all the current diarrhea to make room for the Christmas diarrhea. It's the worst image. It comes out like a horrible mixture of like a fruit pudding and eggnog. So anyway. Do you guys get down with eggnog? What kind? I used to get my dad to buy me, like the stuff that came in a little carton. Oh yeah. It's not real eggnock.

I don't think I've ever had like proper eggnog with. What goes, is it, brandy that goes in it? We'd putting rum in my eggnog. Oh. I like that it doesn't have to be any specific specific any any any any any any any any any any specific any specific any specific to be any any any specific to be any specific to be any specific to be any specific to be any specific specific to be any specific specific specific to be any specific to be any specific to be any specific to be any to be any to be any to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to been putting rum in my eggnog. Oh. Nice. I like that it doesn't have to be any specific liquor for you Ben. I just bang it in there. It has to be a brown alcohol.

I wouldn't go putting a... I wouldn't be... I would do a 50-50 egg-dog beer tea. Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Oh, any other hot Christmas questions right off the top, fellas? Fruitman's pies. Oh, look, much like hay fever, my feelings about it, just very wildly from year to year.

Some years, I get a lot of hay fever. Others I just... Some years I love hay fever. Maybe some years I do. So yes, I can't eat them. I was offered one today. I did not eat it though. Hmm. I think I hate them because as a kid I always thought they were going to be like a mini party pie, like a mince pie, you know like a meat, mincemeat pie.

I got them and it was just, you know, bland, sugary nonsense with fruit nonsense. I'm not a fan. You're a fan of this trivial nonsense food that you're setting up. Absolutely no time for it. Well there we go. A little more triviotr-a th more more more more triv more triv more triv more triv more triv triv. triv. triv. triv. trivue thrivue thrivue thrivue thrivue thrivue thrivue thrivue thrivahi. thrivue. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thii. thii. thi. thi. thi. I thi. thi. setting up. Absolutely, no time for it. Hmm. Well, there we go. A little more trivia for you folks. So we thought this year that obviously we would do an episode timed with the end of the year, but seeing as gay marriage is legal now, Christmas is obviously next on the chopping block. It'll be managed to successfully destroy traditional marriage.

So we thought we would have a war on Christmas episode. Oh, I hear a gecko. Yeah, speaking of Nature Corner, I don't want to break the flow of the podcast all, but a huntsman about the size of my hand just crawled onto the couch. Oh, Jesus Christ. And he's gone. Ooh, boo. Oh, boy.

He's there to eat the hunts, to eat the gecko. I don't know. When in that contest. I need a small raccoon to eat the spider. Oh. That was, uh, he's gone now. He went straight out the spider. That was, he's gone now. He's gone now, he went straight out the window at the moment I tried to move away from him. Truly, they are as scared of us as we are of them. Except maybe for you, Andrew, your big pussy.

Well, yeah, because you sounded like you loved that spider, just that. You would have been more scared, okay? I absolutely would have thrown myself through the window the window the window the window the window the window the window the window the window the window the window the window tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho to to to tho to to tho to tho to just then. You would have been more scared, okay? I absolutely would have. I would have thrown myself through the window before the spider could get that. Cuttering, just thinking about it. Just having a mental image of a spider. It's not even a big one that I'm imagining.

So anyway, so like a Christmas miracle, a war on Christmas miracle, we've had some stories dropped into our lap, as is this time of year. The silly season, if you will. So everybody's favorite, everybody's favorite crank, Erica Betts. Big, big dipshit that you might know from Tasmania. He also had to be a big dipshit on record about same-sex marriage. You know, a pretty strong dipshit showing throughout that. So he's found himself back in the news doing the really, really important hard yards work of running the country.

And this has been to demand that pretty much all the departments in Australia's public service send to him the messages that their senior staff send out to all the the pleb staff to about Christmas and Easter and Ramada. Because he's a huge idiot, he's a huge moron. He's he basically, he wants to know, I can give you a direct quote from him here because the Greens and public policy experts said, hey this seems like a really, really dumb, huge waste of time. Maybe let these people focus on doing the jobs that you're always criticizing them for and saying they can't do probably.

But instead, Eric I bet said that people had a right to know the extent of, quote, the infiltration of a political correctness agenda in the public service, and quote, that repudiated Australia's long held traditions. You know Australia's longest held traditions like, doing, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, 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, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thi's thi's thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thitions. You know, Australia's longest-held traditions, like doing Christmas for a hundred years-ish. Yeah, having Santa now and a couple of years ago. Yeah, yep, Australia's deepest held traditions. So he's asked more than 80 agencies to release their messages to him. Apparently, so far in all of the greetings disclosed to the Senate,

department heads have all wished their staff a Merry Christmas, and none of them have said the dreaded the dreaded, the dread Antofar message of Happy Holidays. So you know, just great, great use of time. What fucking world do these people live in? Can I just say like for about three weeks now at my workplace, it's been like head to toe, missile toe, flashing lights. I've got a six foot fake pine tree covered in Christmas lights, literally two foot behind my chair.

Like, where are these people living? The Christmas isn't surrounding their every movement from about mid-October. Well, look, I don't want to dismiss the validity of their concerns. You have to understand that a lot of these people, 20 years ago, one time, saw something on TV about someone suggesting, hey, maybe we should say happy holidays. And so they've been having a stroke ever since, and it's really affecting their lives in a negative way. Yeah, it's a huge problem. It's huge problem. Yeah, obviously, I don't know, I guess,

I guess the left wing people are the people who are obsessed with ID politics, all that kind of thing. You know, it's not like, it's not like it's a right wing, right wing culture warriors who are super obsessed with just, what I really like about this story, just personally, is that there aren't actually, like there's no evidence that anybody was doing this. Like he just wanted a check. And, um, and I quite liked the sort of notes throughout this story in the Canber Times saying that, yeah, agency bosses all commonly wish their staff a happy Easter. Lots of different agency heads all just say, Merry Christmas, because it's fucking Christmas. But I liked this quote at the end, from Eric Arbett saying,

he said that his questions were very easily answered and included no impost. Quote, I am pleased to see that so far, most agencies have no qualms in celebrating Easter and Christmas, he said. And my first thought was, you are not pleased. There is no way he was pleased by thinking to himself, aha, I fucking got it, I figured it out. I'm going to send a thing to all these people and I'm going to bust like five agencies saying, happy holidays and I'm going to claim that there's been Marxist indoctrination of the public service, all this kind of shit, and everybody has just come back and said,

of course we're all saying, Merry Christmas, you're fucking idiot. Oh, I'm very pleased to see that everybody's doing exactly what I demand that they were doing. I don't believe that he was pleased at all. He would have been bitterly disappointed, like the wizened croan that he is that he is that he was pleased at all. He would have been bitterly disappointed, like the whizzoned croan that he is. This is eerily reminiscent of when he grilled the head of the SBS in estimates about how he sent out... It was like a petition or something to do a same-sex marriage to someone from his work email address.

And then got into like a 45-minute argument with the entire estimates room about what the purpose and use of work email is. People throwing out hypotheticals, like, well, you wouldn't send an email from your work email, like to your wife tel you what you needed to pick up from the shops that everyone was like, yeah, you probably would if you're at your work computer and that's how you spoke to her. Like, it's perfectly normal.

His whole quest for smashing political correctness seems to 100% be about policing the speech of individual people. Hmm. Yes, yes, for people who are so concerned about religious protections and protections of free speech and all that sort of thing, he certainly gets extremely agitated by the idea that someone in a given social situation that does not say exactly what he would say if he were in that situation Which seems like a thing that's you know maybe gonna happen from time to time in a country with millions of people in it Hmm maybe once or twice. Yeah, I'm no sociologist. I'm no doctor of people Not sure what kind of doctor that is I think that's a doctor? Hmm. Yeah? Yeah, I'm no doctor of people. I'm not sure what kind of doctor that is. I think that's a doctor.

Hmm. Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll take it. I do not have business cards. I have to get some business cards, ma'am. So obviously, Eric is extremely prone to this type of idiocy. He doesn't actually do anything useful other than spending a lot of his time demanding that the government cut lots of jobs for public servants and you know cut lots of social services and also apparently like said been getting very agitated by the idea that he has not been able to effectively police the speech of the entire population. The job cuts must have worked because they must have just fired everyone that said happy

holidays I guess. Yeah. Did we talk about his crusade against following the rainbow flag in government buildings? Oh God. How he, he described it as the the rainbow flag in government buildings. Oh God. How he described it as the flag of a hostile nation. Specifically referring to it as, it was the flag of some micro nation that used the rainbow flag. It wasn't the principality of scene land, but it was something along those lines. Yeah, his argument was that it was someone that was

de facto at war with Australia and therefore completely inappropriate. It's all of that sort of stuff that's the that's like the ridiculously sort of too cute shit where you can see that someone sat around and gone. Like it's it's very's the that's like the ridiculously sort of too cute shit where you can see that someone sat around and go like it's it's very much the um at its core it's very much the same spirit of argument as the Islam is not a race kind of argument you know it's very much along the same lines of ah I've thought of this technicality and once I say it no one will be able to criticize me because it's not specifically the same lines of, ah, I've thought of this technicality, and once I say it, no one will be able to criticize me, because it's not specifically, it's not specifically about me having a problem with gay people, it's about national security now.

And who could disagree with that? I'm assuming everybody disagreed with it. Oh, just to finish that thought, it is the flag of the gay and lesbian kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands that declared war in Australia. What a fabulous country. Oh God, that just sounds like such a wonderful place to live. Well, um, hmm, well I can only assume that we'll all be apologizing to Eric once we have been enslaved by said country. Sure.

So, look, we have established here that Eric is an extremely baitable idiot when it comes to this kind of topic. So that really got ramped up this week. When Greens Senator Nick McKim made a post on Facebook and in it he is standing in front of a banner that is being raised by two of his staffers, shout out to Pat Corral out. Fellow Senator Peter Wish Wilson, not one of his staffers. Well, do they have levels of seniority in the Greens? Yeah, maybe.

Let's just say he is. Yeah, sure. Yeah. One of his staffers, who is also a senator, has been hazed by Nick McKeown. Anyway, they're raising a banner. And look, it's funny stuff. It says, Merry Christmas, but they've crossed out Christmas and written underneath it in a large, black, very plain font.

Happy non-denominational, seasonal festivity. And he's posted it with the caption. Sorry, Eric. Happy non-denominational seasonal festivity. And he's posted it with the caption. Sorry, Eric. So look, let's think about what kind of person you would have to be to see that post and think to yourself, this is a really serious thing that someone's posting. Even the fact that right there in the caption, he's made reference to the guy who spends all of his time getting really wound up about stupid, trivial culture war shit.

He specifically referenced that, dude. To me, that makes it kind of clear that it's a joke. Everybody in the picture is kind of laughing and smiling. So it was not taken as a joke by a lot of people. Is that safe to say? I think that's a fair categorization of its reception, certainly. Look again, it's still funny to me, that's fine. Particularly, particularly Nick McKim's responses to the angry replies to him on Facebook.

Very good. There's a lot of people getting extremely angry and abusive and to pretty much every single person he's replied, Merry Christmas. I'd like to point out that there were a few small exceptions. My particular favorite being the person that's like unbelievable that you're standing on a table when there's a bunch of safety gear just next to you with the picture, blah blah blah. And he just replied, oh-H and Esmas. Yep. There's a lot of hundreds of replies from extremely, extremely mad online Facebook users. So it devolved into pretty significant silliness from that point.

I should point out that a dear friend of the show, Pat Karuana, is in that photo. He is, he is a Greens staffer, media dude. And I would like to point out to Pat that this post was then shared onto the Christian Lives Matter Facebook page, which is the thing. That's a thing that we have here in Australia. And one of the replies to it was Facebook user Gilbert Shimon who said, why are they so goofy looking? The nerd with the glasses on his head would make an awesome toilet brush. Look, so take that, take that, Pat.

I'm not, I don't claim to be a designer or an expert in engineering the perfect toilet brush, but probably the big design features I would have in the perfect toilet brush would be not six foot tall. Ideally, light enough that I can pick it up with one hand, wouldn't just flop or bend? You'd probably want it made out of something more rigid than the human body? I just don't think... Wouldn't have glasses on it that would just fall straight into a ball? That's certainly true. The head, I think, would actually be too large.

This is not a criticism of Pat's head, simply the human head in general, too big to fit down the U-Bend of a toilet. Well, let's be real, that's not what they're designed for, heads or toilets. How far are you putting a fucking... Oh, Fino's is it? You're going into the bottom part. But you said down the U-Bend. Well, into the U-Bend. It doesn't have to come up the other side of the U-Bend. I don't see what's going on down there.

It's for like the back wall and getting, like, fixing all your mistakes that you made. I'm sorry? All your toilet mistakes. See us grubbing up around the rim. Wait, so let me get this clear. You're categorizing it as a mistake if it doesn't go directly straight down into the water. Well, obviously, you've gotten your aim wrong. No, I'll back Theo up on this.

I think you're looking at it for... I don't know if it's a product of conscious effort that I'm aiming when this is happening. It's not like, I mean, oh, I hope I don't fuck up this time. I mean, you just take some pride in your work. Yeah. You're looking to make, maybe I've just got the gift. It comes naturally to me. Make a clean drop into the water.

That's what you're after. big dive where it doesn't even break the purpose. I mean, in fairness, Theo was born with condition where his butt hole is too far back. So it's not natural for him to do it probably. Oh, it just, it just, it sits up against his belt, you know? Ha-aul. Oh God, is really an effort of getting him to lean forward about one or two degrees that it's fully revealed. Yep, you see all butt-hole. Is that the point of dacking to get the butt-hole? Yeah. Ideally, yeah. I'm doing it wrong.

That's what you want, yeah. I'm doing it wrong. That's what you want. Yeah. Um, for any international listeners, uh, dacking is what you may know as pancing. It's just a little tip. Little pro tip. Yeah, hope that helps you next time you, you dax someone and everyone sees him and they're jocks. And they got chopped. Like, because we know we have levels of dacking. We got the deck and then the double deck. I've

never heard of someone being double pants. Does panting just refer to the underwear and trouser being removed or simply the outer layer? I think we're going to need someone to weigh in on this and tell us. An American consultant. If you are an American or possibly even a Canadian, and you have, well maybe there's a whole other Canadian expression, I don't know. I'm not a doctor of Canada. But there are people in Canada. You are a doctor of people. Yeah, that's true.

And isn't that the international language? So if there are people, yeah. No, wait, that's Esperanto. So yes, if you do, if you are American, possibly even Canadian, and you have the words, you know that there are words for a pancing that involves maybe just people seeing your underwear and another a whole different kind that involves people seeing your dick and your balls, possibly even your butt hole if it's right up there in the back.

Well, look, let's just say it's kind of like the, it's kind of like the wedgey and the atomic wedgey, you know? One is just a step past the other. Well, the atomic wedge is just a high intensity wedge. I don't know if there's like a point where it just suddenly ticks over into atomic territory. Oh, I thought an atomic wedgie either required the the waistband of the underpants to go over the head or to just tear free from the underpants.

There is a there is a specific commentation. Yeah. So anyway please please let us know. Please let us know. He's a little bit of trivia about me. I was dacked on stage at a frenzel rom show one time. Nice by Rodey. Why were you on stage? th. th. th. the th. That th. That th. That th. That the th. That th. the th. to to the to th. to to to the to the to to the to to to to to to th. to to to to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just to just 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. I. I was. I was. I was. I was just te. I was. I was just te. I was. te. te. te. to just. the the the th. I about me. I was dacked on stage at a Frenzel Rom show one time. Nice by a Rodey. Why were you on stage? I was just about to jump into the crowd like one does. Oh hell yeah, nice. Stage, I got a jump diving, they called it. I got double-dacked in grade 11, uh, in front of a bunch of girls. Nice. They saw my penis. I was an ideal. I'll never forgive you. I. I th. I th. I th. th. th. th. th. th.

I'll never forgive you, Joel, whatever your last name is, you fuck. Well, there you go.

So, I now have no idea where we're up to. Oh, yes. Okay. So, Nick McKim has made his post. It has made a lot of people very angry, but it made one person really angry. That one person is dear friend of the show and founding anti-fire member Andrew Bolt. Remember he's a leftist now after our last couple episodes. He's an ally. He's an ally. He had a good run going. He was doing okay, but let's be real, uh, war on Christmas shit is, is just catnip to these motherfuckers.

Like, it's, it's irresistible. You can completely understand him just giving himself a little, a little silly season treat and just diving headfirst into this one because he chose to share to share to share to share to share this this this to share this with his his readers on his blog With the headline and who are the worst people in the world by the way? Yes, that's true And he shared it with the headline and it is worth pointing out that it is it is all caps. It is in all caps by one letter. And that is the small C in McKim. Yes. But other than that, it says, Nick McKim destroys Christ for Christmas. Jesus. Which is like that's an extremely, extremely normal thing to post on your blog.

I think it's very good. And you know, you just, he shares it with his, with his readers, I would say listeners, but nobody actually listens to him when he's on his TV show. And he says, quote, Green Senator Nick McKim is actually proud to strip Christ from Christmas. So he's not just Christophobic, but a cultural vandal. I can't wait to see him try to take the Islam out of Ramadan, or is only one religion to be shown such disrespect. D-dun-dah. It's just a really, really weird way to attack it because he didn't cross the word Christ

out. He crossed the word Christmas out. So he's not taking the Christ out of Christmas. He's just destroying Christmas. That's right. And yeah, so if he'd have written Ramadan and just crossed the whole thing out well I mean taking Islam out of Ramadan doesn't make sense because the word Islam doesn't appear in

the word Ramadan so I'm not sure that one really scans. No it's not like you put up a nativity scene and like really deliberately kicked it over or something. Well, like really deliberately put like a cabbage patch doll in instead of Jesus and then said, but there was no Jesus, Merry Christmas, everyone. Like that would be a little different. The Islam Ramadan argument came up a bunch on like the comments on the article that I did and all the stuff that I was reading.

It's just such a flimsy, fucking stupid argument. Because like it would hold water if every year we had a couple of days off for Ramadan, stores closed for it. Everyone fucking celebrated if it was universally celebrated in Australia by people that weren't you know Muslim people that came from a bunch of different backgrounds or whatever and we tried to make it like oh well this is just the time of the year that it's the holidays you know it's something that we all take part in you know that would make sense but it's not like that would make sense but it's not like secular people celebrate it's there's no reason for us to try and make it secular. It's like not

fucking rocket science why we're doing this for Christmas. Yeah and if that had happened like he's like I assume that he's proposing right that would be considered as implementing Sharia law like you try and fly this sort of stuff and it just yeah. I'll be waiting. So it's a ridiculous, it's a ridiculous, like Ben said, I mean like the Hmm. Like you try and fly this sort of stuff and it just... Yeah. I've been waiting. It's a ridiculous, like Ben said, I mean like the whole, it was nothing to do with like disrespecting Christ or anything like that. It's making fun of these people.

And if you take any kind of meaning away from it, uh, other than that, I think you're being very dishonest. Yeah. I enjoy that he's gone the favorite right-wing route of trying to attack aphobic on the end of something because they've been in the past shut down by people saying, hey, that's homophobic and people are like, oh yeah, that is homophobic. They think that if they say that something is something-afobic, it also is a silver bullet. So if you're like, Christ-a-fobic, everyone's like, oh, fuck, I'm being problematic. Well, I guess I have to stop now. No, they've got left is not like an instant gotcha that wins every time. Well, there's another suggestion which is sort of making here. There's another little implicit idea, which is that if Nick McKim at Ramadan was to be like,

happy eating stuff whenever you want day, that like Andrew Bolt would go, good. I'm happy now, you may continue to mock Christmas. You know, like when you're saying, oh, is he going to do this too? It's like what? So if he did, you'd say, oh good, well you're taking, you know, you're taking the Mickey out of everyone equally and I can respect that. Or is he just going to completely ignore that and go straight back to, you know, angrily defending George Pell? As is his bag. As is his bag. So, you know, he pointed out that Treasurer Scott Morrison had weighed in on the issue,

which he did, indeed. Scott also very helpfully took the bait, hook, line, and sinker. Oh, just before we go into Scott's thing, one very, very critical thing to note about this is that in his link to Scott Morrison's post it's a mobile link. It's specifically a link to mobile Facebook, which to me because it's only like it's like 70 words that he's written, not even that, it's like 50 words. He's very clearly seen the post on Facebook, gotten very angry on his phone, bashed out 50 words, copied the link from his Facebook,

and then sent it off to his editor. This is generally how I picture how he blogs. He just sees shit he doesn't like, type something up in the notes on his phone and then sends it off. Just bang something out on his four-year-old Blackberry. And then he's back to- Tiny, quoddy keyboard. He's back to harassing the staff of the Quaunus lounge. But, yeah, so Scott Morrison weighed in.

He took the bait of this extremely obvious trolling effort as well. And he said to his Facebook readers, quote, what a bunch of pathetic muppets. Which, oh, stern language there. He says, The Greens are actually opposed to Christmas, exclamation mark, because he is shocked.

He's shocked that they slipped up and they posted evidence of it online. For many millions of Australians, Christmas is a very spiritual time of year and central to their religious faith. For members of parliament to treat this important religious occasion with such disrespect is as offensive as it is disappointing. So not only has he used the M word, pretty pretty over the top, but yeah I really like that he said, they are actually opposed to Christmas. My God. It's all incredibly dumb. I've pulled a few comments here from the very intelligent

readers of Andrew Bolt's blog. Um, Rida Ray, friend of the show, Ray, says, the action was a deliberate attempt to belittle Christianity by crossing out Christmas. All McKim had to do was put his message under the original without crossing anything out and very few would have been offended. So how would that have read? Because to my mind that would have read Merry Christmas non-denominational seasonal festivity? Yep. That's exactly what it would have read. It would have been very strange. I also I also really appreciate Ray is explaining to people what has happened and you know

what could have happened, what should have happened, when he very clearly does not actually understand what is happening at all. In any way, shape or form. A friend of the show, Nikki wrote on Andrews, Andrews' blog, I expect taxpayers footed the bill for that sign. And if you look at the image from the Facebook post, you will see that it is one of those, it's one of those things like on a website where you can load like a PDF or a picture in or whatever and it just turns it into, it like blows it up and cuts it up onto various PDFs. So this this lady that they've taped like eight A4 pieces of white paper together

and hung them up for a joke. I'm not sure exactly how much money. I thought when you said Friend of the Show Nicky, this is just another Nicky referred to as friend of the show. Well I'm referring to all these people of friends of the show because I'm assuming that they're friends of Andrew Bolt's show. Oh of course yeah no that makes sense. Our sister show. And finally Peter, friend of the show, friend of another show Peter, weighs in with this very, very relevant comment.

Peter says, Rod Stewart on SBS singing about Christmas, that is what real men do, enough said. Okay, several things. Number one, isn't SPS supposed to be the outlet government funded for literal communism? Yep. European style socialism creeping in through our airways funded by our government. European erotica. Yeah, all that garbage that we hate. But no, it's Rod Stewart singing Christmas. I love the suggestion. I really. Rod Stewart singing Christmas carols is an inherently masculine activity. This dude who looks like a 65-year-old lesbian

he's just... he's got that teased hairdo. I love him. I really like that the construction of the sentence doesn't what real men do. It's Rod Stewart on SBS singing about Christmas. That is what real men do. You all have to be Rod Stewart on the SBA. It is a very high bar. It's just a lot of specificity there. It's hard to get on TV. Singing is very difficult. It's very hard to be Rod Stewart as far as I'm aware there's only one. Currently. We need some kind of being John Malkovich Romovich. Singing is very difficult. It's very hard to be Rod Stewart as far as I'm aware there's only one currently. We need some kind of being John Malkovich arrangement. You know, being Rod Stewart on SPS singing about Christmas.

You can just get in there for 15 minutes, knock it out, you know, get your stakes up, your masculinity stakes. So look, that's where we're at, folks. We're extremely mad about the idea that people in the public service might be sending messages that say happy holidays even though they aren't. We're also extremely mad that somebody has posted one picture on Facebook that was very clearly intended to elicit a certain response. And it did. One thing about this is I don't really like the characterization that this was trolling so

much. It's like, this is kind of a joke at their own expense as well, right? Like the Greens have, you know, a reputation among right-wing people as being like super politically correct, blah-la. So they were making a joke of what, like, an extreme version of what people think it is that they do. So you know, they're laughing at themselves a bit, a bit a their their joke that no one could possibly take seriously. Like, it's just, it really is just a harmless, good-spirited joke that has made a whole bunch of people shit themselves. Like, they did a similar thing, or Nick and Pat did a similar thing at Easter with, which was even more over the top, which was along the lines of enjoying toasted geometrically ornamented non-denominational buns and halal,

you know, seasonal, whatever, chocolate, ovals. And the exactly the same thing happened. So there was another hysterically written daily mail article about this one from the exact same guy who wrote the one about the Easter thing in the exact same terms using the traditional daily mail house style of writing about this sort of stuff as if it's not a joke and then 20 minutes later updating it with a statement being like, well, clearly it was a joke, but I mean, a bit much. It's just very silly. The whole thing is very silly. So, we might need to move on and take some some questions out of this big,

this big red Christmas-style sack of letters that I have here. You might think that it's a big bag of letters to Santa asking for gifts, you'd be wrong, you'd be a fucking thing. It's our regular old male bag I painted it red, and now you feel like an idiot. Are the letters to Santa also at a red sack? Does that not get confusing with the red sack of gifts? No, I only did it to trick people. There isn't like a lot of deep thought behind it.

Well, fair enough. I would imagine that the actual real life mail to Santa just arrives in like a big postal service burlap type sack. And it says on the side, Postal Service. in like a big postal service burlap type sack. And it says on the side, postal service. As traditionally employed by postal employees, the burlap sack of mail. But instead I will be reaching into our big sack of mail. We'll be getting wrist deep in our sack to ask questions from our beautiful listeners. And of course, first up we have a question from beautiful listener and friend of the show.

Elegant Dongs from Twitter. And elegant Dongs ask, I'm not, I'm not going to read out his actual Twitter screen name. Because it's about dog dicks. elegant dongs ask, I'm not, I'm not going to read out his actual Twitter screen name, because it's about dog dicks. I'll leave you, I'll leave you with that hint. And they ask, is it legally to jack off on X-Mis? Uh, fellas, which you have to get away in? I think, uh, if you're having a solo Christmas, you can jack off as much as you fucking want.

You should jack off literally to the full extent that your body will allow. Otherwise, absolutely not. Do not touch that dick. Wow, this is a cowardly stance. Number one, I'll say that I agree with your idea that you should beat off until your dick is as red as Rudolph's nose. But look also I'm going to say like what if, you know, what if just you, what if the family's

getting a bit full on and you just want to sneak away, treat yourself to your own little Christmas gift, you know? What's so wrong with that? No, absolutely not. No, that's a crime. That's terrible. Yeah, what's the situation you're in here? You're in like a member of the family's home? What if it's my home?

Oh, no. No, no, I'm still not bored with it. Absolutely not. I just can't imagine having that kind of time. Yeah, that's fair. I think, yeah. You can't spare the 30 to 45 seconds? No, absolutely not. I mean, I'm probably too sleepy as well. Full of food.

Full of food. Full of dire. Oh. So, what, are we going around and we're just, we're getting a nose? Is that it? We're getting a nose? It's not okay to jack off on Christmas? I think, I think it's untested. Hmm. For as the legality goes. Look, I'm just saying... We'll need to see something go through the courts first. Anyone that's at like their, their Nan's place on Christmas Day, it's slipping away from a, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from, from a, from a, from a, from a, from a, from a, their, their, their, their, their, theirthrough the courts first. Anyone that's at like their Nan's place on Christmas Day is slipping away from a family dinner

table of fresh prawns to go and fucking squeeze one out. You sit down, you put your feet down on the anti-slip mat. Holding on with what add to the bar that your grandma uses to get off the toilet. You are a filthy degenerate. You are a prevert and I shall not abide by your actions. Well you heard it here first folks. It is no longer legal to jack off on Christmas. Well look let's consider that answer. Let's move on the next one. It is no longer legal to jack off on Christmas. Well, look, let's consider that answered. Let's move on to the next one. We have a question.

Well, we have a question here from friend of the show. Travis E. Jordan, Christmas pudding, yeah, or no. Personally, my experience of Christmas pudding has been only as a vehicle for custard. Really, I mean if I was being honest with myself, ideally I would just drink a bowl of custard. I wouldn't fuck around with the pudding. Yeah, I think that's fair. Because really the pudding's just there to like be a vehicle for the custard, so you could just use like a slice of bread even a slice of chocolate cake hold on

on had bread I mean it would work yeah bread is flavor neutral it's a sad meal it's a sad meal folks c's like the water of food. It's a sad meal, folks. Custain, custum of bread. Isn't that pretty much exactly what bread pudding is? Isn't that just custard and bread? No, fuck.

No, it isn't. I think it is. I'm googling. Well, look, no, no. We don't just pour custard over bread and stick it in the fucking oven that's not what it is it is. I'm gonna be very honest with you the pictures that have come up look absolutely nothing like the bread pudding that my mom made and I fear I may have been getting a very sad depression here and just does not align with the reality of the food.

Hot tip folks I'll tell you what my family likes to do is you get you know the reality of the food. I'll tell you what my family likes to do is you get, you know the big panatone things. Panitone. Oh. You know that's the paint colors. You know those bad boys. Don't, don't watch those. You can get chocolate chip on to those. And then you make the bread and butter putting out of that.

It's dynamite. I believe what you were trying to say was, Bonneton, eh? Don't make it racist. I was just saying it authentically. You can't even see what my hands are doing. Very racist. Very racist. I'm twirling.

Jacking off because you know that you can't do it at the Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas the Christmas that you that you that you that you thatwireling. You're jacking off because you know that you can't do the Christmas now. I'm twirling my big imaginary, uh, my big imaginary bushy Super Mario style mustache that is soaked in pizza grease. Hey, what's a matter you? Oh, the Italian's such a beautiful people. Beautiful culture. Oh, they invented the Catholic Church and the Pizza Pie. They got low, baby. All right. Well I can keep hearing in my head is the Italian chef from the Simpsons saying, what about you? Why you don't jack off? Oh, poor. Okay, we have another question here.

From Fred of the show, DivX Greg, who asks, how do I... I prefer X-Vid Greg. It's an open-source version of Greg. How do I convince the family to ban the boobley? I've got I've got suggestions but I'd like to hear from you guys first. Well you want to get in first. You want to get in first with the four-hour Suffian Stevens Christmas album. And they just say, yeah, yeah, you can put it on after this. And little the day no, it's four hours long.

So perfect crime. Hmm. Well, yes, my suggestions to include, you obviously need to offer an alternative. And first off the block there is James Brown's funky Christmas which is a fantastic Christmas album by an artist you may know of called James Brown. It includes great hits such as Santa Claus Please Go Straight to the Ghetto. This is real this is absolutely real by the way. If I were making this up, it would be very racist. It would be very racist.

But it's a real album and I love it. I suggest you put it on. If you can't find that one, find the Bonie M. Christmas album. That's pretty good too. Yeah. They got a whole thing going on. Failing that, I'm going to suggest that you fabricate a rape allegation against Michael Boubley. You know, like another crime if that's not what you're into. But let's be honest, I could believe

it about Michael Boubley. I think if we all burned it together, we could smear him as a white supremacist. We're going to get organized about this now. Okay, yep, that's fair. Yeah, well, he always comes around at Christmas time, very white-themed videos, you know. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. All right, we're going to have to work on this, but um, but there's, look, there's several options for you.

Ben, do you have any suggestions for how to convince the family to ban Michael Boubley at Christmas? No, you're fucked, really? Like basically, you're stuck with Bueblay until you're old enough that you're the shit that everyone hates that's in charge of what music gets played and it will be the dip shit stuff that you love that all your kids think is fucking awful. So just wait, wait until that comes around. Enjoy. We have another question here. From a friend of the show, Jurassic Snark,

they ask, Where's the best place to bury the body of a racist uncle? Someone's clubbed with a whole ham? Ah, Burke's backyard. Hmm. Dr. Harry's backyard. Hmm. Oh no, well, that's where Don Burke is buried.

Okay. Just not on your property. Uh, is a really good place to start. The inaugural reserve. They're very strict there, the police there. They're fucking quick as a button. Well, you know that you're not allowed any dogs down there, so they won't sniff it out. Oh, you're not allowed dogs at Anogra Reservoir. I feel like you've been told this, Ben.

No, I don't know if I have. I've seen lots of dogs down there. I think you're allowed to take dogs down to the reservoir. I've been taking dogs there for years. Hmm. You don't even have a dog. It's just fine. I take other people's down there. It's very normal stuff. That's literally the first time I've ever taken a dog there. I mean I've been with other friends that have dogs, but we were we were dog sitting for the day and then these

fucking knark fucks. Unbelievable. Hmm. Well, in case it helps, a friend of the show, Legends of Lucas, has already solved this problem by saying it's all good, you can just eat the ham and then there is no evidence. Oh, that's like killing someone with a shot of ice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. Do you reckon they're like forensic pathologists or whatever? No, that's not the sort of person who looked this. I don't fucking know. I don't watch those crime shows.

Do you reckon they're good enough at figuring out if someone was beat by a ham? They'd be like, oh, the trauma looks like it was from a large object. We'd their weight of that diamond pattern. They'd be like, oh, I could see that on the vertices of the diamond pattern, they've stuffed in cloves and bits of star rinise. There's some salt on the outside, a bit of a honey glaze. I think what we're definitely looking at, it's a Christmas ham. I thought you were going to say, I wonder if like, every year around Christmas time, there's a couple of dead bodies that crop up, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, they'd thi, thi, thi, they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they'd they's, they's, they's, they's, they's, there's a couple of dead bodies that crop up and they go yep this one's also clearly been killed by an icicle. It's the same shape the same like you know conical shape wound

there's water down in the wound. It's very... Sorry can you say conical again please? They're just the word conical for us if you can run that bias. Yeah how about this? Coniqueal? How about the chronicles of Riddick? Well that's a different word that's a different word entirely. I can say that also now you know about what it's do. Yeah, I do. I'm a doctor of people. Hey, hey Theo. Hey, Theo. Hey, what's up?

We've got a question from Friend of the Show, Amy, who I believe wrote a review of our show that has psychologically scarred you beyond repair. That's correct. She said that the character that Joseph Fierns plays in, uh, enemy at the gates was based on me. I would say that he wasn't and that movie came out far too early for that to be the case. What else?

What else? Anyone can change the Wikipedia article so we don't know whether that's true or not. Hmm. Well, it's just that, you know, what she imagines, um, Bruny Smurf to sound like, but I can't help it. It's just the way that my voice is. Just on a related note of Theo being completely owned, uh owned when I was at Netherworld the other night there was a very well-dressed young man of about your build with your haircut with a few tattoos and our mutual friend Dave turned to me and said oh look it's cool Theo Oh, that's the roughest alternate version of yourself to get. It would usually be like there's Chinese Theo or whatever, but no, there's cool thing.

But like in your defense, I know that man and he spends every waking hour of his life playing board games, so you two are about on the same pile level of coolness. So the jokes's on Dave. I feel like anyone could get a tattoo, but I don't know. You're going to get a tattoo of like some math equation that you think is beautiful, are you? Are you going to pull a genohenicy and get one of the impossible geometric shapes tattooed to your arm? The Mobius ship. He's got that the triangle where every vertis looks like it's going up.

Well yeah, it's got to be something, it's got to be something like that I think we've safely established here. And Amy asks, read of the show Amy asks, can we get a crime pass for smacking anyone who gives mixed nuts assortment for Christmas? So I think this is really like showing where a lot of Amy's bitterness comes from if these are the kinds of people that she has in her life? Thoughtful to not receive to mixed nuts assortment. Well, I have two questions, one of which is who has ever received mixed nuts as a gift? Clearly Amy. Yeah, well not me, not normal people. And number two, what's wrong with mixed nuts?

You know, you get a lot of protein. It's good for you. Look, there's a few nuts in a mixed nut assortment that I'm not a huge fan of, but you know, name them. Name them. Name a shame. Uh, you know what, when a walnut's not toasted, not hugely interested in them. Yeah, it's a shit nut.

Yeah, that's fair. They're a bit flaccid. And a Brazil nut as well. Oh, don't get racist about Brazil. Come on. I'm more right with the Brazil nut. Unflavored untoasted almonds. No, thann't.

Geez. No, they're right. We all love a hazelnut though, right? Oh, ugh. I'd do, I'd do a lot of things for a hazelnut. Probably exchange money for them primarily. That's fair and reasonable in a normal thing to do. I don't know if I'm going to offer out this crime pass. Yeah, I think it's very sedate for a crime pass. You can murder the person who gave you the mixed nuts. Oh absolutely. Yeah, you could shoot them with

a gun. But smacking, no, you'll have to deal with the, uh, the full extent of the law. If that's the route you decide to take. Yep. Uh, you can also have a crime pass. I'm just going to withhold her crime pass until she's better, less rude, but. Ooh. Oh, okay. Oh, there is. I guess there's a loophole with this grind pass. If you smack them to death, technically you are covered by the crime pass. Yep, possibly with a ham. Nice glazed ham. And that, that folks, is about all we have time

for. I think we're going to probably skip next week, because frankly, it'll be Christmas. We'll all be with our families, sneak it off to jack off on Christmas Day, pop and open that can of mixed nuts and just just berating the mother fucker who gave them to us, you know? Is that safe to say? I will be doing literally none of those things. Yeah all of those words are wrong. Yeah we all have our own traditions, you know? You know, you guys, you guys jack off when it suits you. So, of course, of course, please do rate the show if you care to, if that's a thing.

But only nice, good rating. Don't, if you were thinking about giving us bad one, just go stand by an open window, say that bad review out loud and then the words will eventually waft over to Theo. He's very sensitive, but finally attuned to bad vibes. All of those people have already stopped listening about 15 minutes in and have immediately opened up iTunes to just write. I didn't realize this was a left-wing podcast. I did like that one. That one was good. So yes, please let me clarify. If you like giving five stars to shows on on the iTunes store, knock yourself out. If you don't, maybe

just keep those fiddly, fiddly mouth fingers. I'd say four with some constructive feedback could be good on that. Four and a half, minimum. We're not monsters, we're not fascists. Not yet. We'll get there. We'll get there. So you know you can do that. You can you can do that. You can you can do that. You can do that. You can, you. 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 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 th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to thi. to to thi. to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thithough. We'll get there. So you know you can do that. You can do that. You can subscribe. That's a thing. You can also head on over to Patreon.com forward slash Buntavista. And give us five of your precious dollars, five of your precious US dollars a month to get some bonus episodes of us continuing to talk about things just like this. So if you like the show that's good. If you do not like the show because you didn't realize it was a left-wing show and then you listened all the way through to the end, this bit right now, then you're probably not going to want to follow this bit of advice.

I do just want to congratulate you on your willingness to listen to other people's viewpoints, which are mainly about when it is or is not appropriate to jack off. You're a really open-minded person, and I respect it. I would have subbed out to jack off by this point. Yeah that's fair. So yeah, so yeah, thank you for being with us this year, our very first year of doing this show, which I think I think we like doing. Yeah, I think we do. Yeah, except for when when Theo gets called Brainy Smurf and then he just he sits awake at night for like a couple of weeks after that. But other than that, you know, we like it. It's good fun.

We appreciate your questions. We appreciate our patrons. We appreciate your contributions and your sacrifices in the war on Christmas. We will win eventually. Please buy war on Christmas bonds. I don't know what they go towards. Possibly implementing Sharia law, finally. But yeah, I think that's it.

I think that's it for 2018. But we'll be back. Happy, happy holidays everyone. Wait, wait, guys, it's not 2018. I got that one wrong. Well, we're going to start the episode again. All right. We'll get the year right, next year for lucky. All right. Thanks everybody. Bye.

Oh shit, there's an outro. There is. I think the outro is the same as the intro. It's very similar. It's pretty much the same. See everybody. Bye. Bye. Okay.
