Welcome to Bonteavisto, episode 58. 58, the age that Ben will be when his stack of VHS tapes has finally gone big enough to fall onto him and kill him under its weight. Yeah, but you think by then, the year 2048, that'll be amazing. People be like video tapes? What? That's going to be really good. People are going to love that story about my death. Unbelievable that you both had them and were killed by them. You live by the videotape, die by the videotape. That's the motto of the tapesman.

It'll be the really rare time that somebody can say he died doing what he loved, which is watching an extremely grainy copy of Beastmaster as he died. I mean I'm literally sitting 50 centimeters away from a copy of Beastmaster right now. That's right. Not an inaccurate thing to say. And looking at his phone all throughout the funeral will be Theo. Hi Theo. Hey, so nice to be here and so nice to be part of the Nine Network now. Sorry, I've probably, I've probably, yeah, I've probably bugged things up now. Sorry, we'll probably get into this later, but we have been purchased by Nine. Very excited. So there's us this evening and I believe we'll have a pedophile on just to get, you know, both sides of the

discussions. It would be really nice. I think it's more accurate to say that we were bought out by Domain who was in turn bought out by 9. I think in the interest of clarity we should say that. I don't give... Fuck, Ben. And of course we also have Lucy. Hi, this is all news to me. Oh, that we've been bought out. thired. thired. thired. thired. thired. thired. thired. thired. thired. thired. thired. thired. thi. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. the th. the the the the the the their. their. to be their to be just just, Ben. to be just just, Ben. to be just, Ben. to be just, just, just, Ben. to be, just, just, just, just, Ben. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. to be. 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. to. to. to to th. to to the the the to the the the to the to the the to to the. to to Hi, this is all news to me. Oh, that we've been bought out. Very excited that we've been bought out. Do we, uh, where's, what are our salaries? Where's the money coming in? Oh, we're getting that in turn money, which is we're doing it for exposure at the start. Um, I have hired some people to expose themselves to us. That is our reward. A single single single single single thi that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that's. that's. that's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. the. thi. the. the. the. thi. the. thi. thi. that. thi. that. that. th. themselves to us. That is our reward. Our single reward. Oh dear. And now that we are part of, well, yeah, not Fairfax, of course. Fairfax has been consumed by...

Oh, well, I mean, let's not fuck around with language here. It was a merger. It's just that the results in company is called 9. Which Fairfax journalists I think are very happy with? Oh, they seem to love that. They're excited. Yeah. Yep. It's a merger in the same way that like, you know, in the horror movie, the blob, things got merged into the blob. It was still just the blob at the end.

No one says, ah, a happy merger between this teenage hamburger joint employee and the blob. They go, no, the blob got another one. Hey guys. Thank you for explaining this in terms that people will understand. It's like the merger of Tetsuo and his girlfriend at the end of the film Akira. Yes. I'm sorry, what, the name of, what was that film?

Interesting. Akiara. Sounds a little racist when you say it like that, Theo. I'm just... Oh my god. He's doing the correct pronunciation. See you guys, right? All right. So the lady doing the soccer pronunciations is worse. Oh god damn. Don't fucking. I tryations is worse. Oh, God damn. Don't fucking- When I try and do it. Oh my God.

Can't win. I've really been meaning to watch the remake of the blob from 1988 for a while now. And hey, everybody, if you want a nice little treat for yourself, check out the theme song to the original version of the blob from 1958. It's really jazzy, it's got lyrics, not that scary, but it's fun. Anyway, that's been blob talk. That's been blob talking. Check out the blob and I'm not talking about the mirror.

Well, that seems uncharacteristically mean. Sorry, I am. This is not going well for me. I'm very sorry. I feel like, I th, I th, I th, I th, I 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 the th th th the that that the that, it, it's really 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 thia, it, it's, it's, it's thia. It's thia. It's that, it that, it's th. th. th. that, it. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that-a. theean, thean-augh, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, that-a. for me, I'm very sorry. I feel like he got backed into a corner by the Akira thing and now you're just lashing out in all directions. It's not healthy. So Fairfax and 9 have merged, one has been subsumed by the other. The big Mecca network has subsumed us. And now we're here to bring you the news. And the news that we know you've been waiting for is of course, Boatwatch. God, I hope you know what you're doing.

Well, longtime listeners of the show, as in people who've listened to say more than 10 episodes, might remember a sequence of episodes in which we covered the downfall of disgraced Mayor of Logan. Yeah, I keep going to say that it's in Brisbane, but Theo, are you going to say it's not in Brisbane? The city of Logan is a separate city. It's the city of Logan, it sits between the city of Brisbane and the city of the Gorgoastri and Astrid, the cities of Ipswich and Redlands. Hmm. Yes, that's right. Jesus fucking Christ.

Yes. Yeah, so it's doing reverse cowgirl on those other cities. I know we probably don't have time for this, but I would love to hear an argument for why it's not just a regular cow girl. Anyway, so yeah, on these previous episodes we covered the corruption scandal engulfing the Logan Council, in which Embattled Mayor, I guess he is still the mayor, Embattled Mayor Luke Smith was accused of accepting a luxury boat from a Chinese developer. As you might call it a bribe,

other people might more charitably call it a gift for bribing purposes. I don't know. There's just a hilarious transcript from him being interviewed in which he repeatedly says that he is not corrupt while refusing about 10 times point blank to say whether or not he took a luxury boat from someone. Very, very funny stuff. It's very good. What's not good is the update of how it's all shaken out in the end.

We did get a few requests to follow up on this because he had popped back up in the news, but unfortunately all of the news is super depressing. Luke Smith is a man whose life has come crashing down around him. He's been arrested for, he was having a big old domestic assault with his wife and he got dragged out and taken a court with a covered in blood and scratches and all that kind of thing. He's been carted off to hospital. He was granted bail with very strict conditions and then he no-showed court today. So things are not going well for extremely emattled Mayor of Logan Luke Smith. Not really funny anymore. Fertile comedy ground.

Domestic violence? No. So this is probably gone from a heartwarming story story story about a man Mayor of Logan Luke Smith. Not really funny anymore. Fertile comedy ground, domestic violence. No. So this has probably gone from a heartwarming story about a man receiving a boat to one about a guy's maybe not all that great for other reasons. Yeah, it's gone poorly. And yeah, it all sounds like it stop being funny a while ago so you know that's probably probably where we're gonna leave it I mean maybe we'll give you an update when he definitely goes to prison because he's been charged with a litany of crimes and he doesn't seem to have any defense beyond saying things like well we'll see what happens when the verdict's

read out. I mean we will see what happens when the verdict's read out. I mean, we will see what happens when the verdict's read out. I guess. But that also probably won't be that funny. No. Did anyone watch Game of Thrones? No. I was just... I would sit in my mind, take form as I read the books.

Oh, this might still be relevant. So I'm just trying to workshop a joke here.. the the the the the the tha, tha, tha, the tha, tha, tha, tha, thi, the thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, when thi, when thi, thi, thi, thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, things things things, thi, thi, thi, thi thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thinks thi thi thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi things thi things things thi things things, things things, thin thin thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, thinks, my mind, take form as I read the books. Oh, this might still be relevant. So I'm just trying to workshop a joke here. Bear with me. So I think there's like a bit where someone from the night's watch dies, they say like his watch is over or whatever. Is that true? Do you repriced like that? the watch has ended? Yeah, something like tha. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thr-I. thr-I. thathe's thr-I. thr-I. thr-I. thr-s. thr-s, thr-s. thr-s. thr-s. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I I I I I I I I I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I'm just just. I'm just just just just just just just just just just just just just thr. I'm just try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. try. I'm just try. try. try. try. try. t about reading the book. Oh for fuck sake. All right well I think in summing along lines of his watch has ended we could say here and we'll edit all of this out but we could say yeah we could say his boat watch has ended. We'll say that. Yep and we won't leave any of this in. No, this is all gone. I'll definitely add all. But we also in the episode up until Andrew the actual sample of us saying. the th. th. th. th. the 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. 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. I I I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thee. thoooooo in fact, not of this discussion or the fruits of this discussion will be in the episode. Yeah, no, after we're done recording, I think we'll take a, we'll take a vote on it and then we'll re-record that section and we'll put it in. How about that? Yeah, which is something we regularly do,

which is why everything is so polished, it's very slick, it's fast-paced. It's seamless. It's like when there was that fad with people making YouTube videos where they would cut out every single millisecond of pause in between these things. No, that's still going. That's now just the YouTube style. That shit gives me a migraine. I can't do it. Any time that I watch like, um, that I, like, somehow, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thee, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi, thee, like, like, like, like, like, thee thee thee thee thee thee thee thee thee thee thee thee thee thee thee thee, th, th, th, thee th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thee-s thin, thin, that, that I watch like, um, any, that I like somehow accidentally watch a video that

is by someone who could be considered a YouTube, you know what I mean? Because that's a whole other genre of content that fucking melts my brain. And yeah, just the, the constant choppy cutting I can feel it giving me like ADHD. It's like how, you know, Birdman was a little bit kind of tiring to watch because your brain sort of never rests when it's one continuous take. Yeah, because they try and fit in like 20 minutes of comedy into the 10-minute episode or whatever it was. Yeah, I need a little bit of downtime in between sentences. I need to be like, oh, you just breathed. Perfect. I'll use 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 thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. teea. tea. tea. tea. tea. tea. ti. ti. Oh, he just breathed? Perfect. I'll use this to rest. And here we go again. You need that. Hey, Theo, I got, I got the joke. Which joke?

What? Okay, so Ben, Ben, I've seen. Are you actually, are you actually serious? I have no idea what you're talking about. This episode is so good already, I love it. Ben was talking about the movie Birdman starring Michael Keaton, which appears as one long take. Theo thought you were talking about the cartoon, Harvey Birdman, attorney at law, which is why he said, which is why he said, oh my god. Yeah, it's like they're trying to fit 20 minutes of comedy in a 10 minute episode. I thought he was back to talking about YouTubeers. Oh what are to do, although, Birdman, Harvey Birdman, Attorney Law, fantastic television

show I'm a big fan. Oh, it's a very good show. Oh man, what's his name, bloody, uh, Gary Cole. Gary Cole. Oh, oh, oh, oh, it, that, it, that's, it, it, it, 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 a, it's a, it's a, it's a, that's a, that's a very, it's a very, it's a that's a that's a very that's a very that's a very that's a very that's a very. Oh, it's, it's, it's, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very. It's a very, it's a very. It's a very. It's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very, it's a very good. Oh, it's a very good. Oh, it's a very good. Oh, it's a very good. Oh, it's a very good. Oh, oh, it's a very good. Oh, it's a very good. Oh, it's a very good. Oh, it's a we're turning to one of those episodes again. Uh, Gary Cole. Gary Cole. Ooh. And uh, and I, um... Stephen Colbert in there as well? Yes.

Oh, Ken Seven. Very good stuff. Well, the timeless references in that show, you're good stuff. Guys. Guys, the has bro hit, stop on your device. Not pause. Not pause. I want you to stop.

It goes right back to the start. I want you to go to free cartoon streams. Are you? I got a better suggestion which is just mute the podcast. I'll be keep the play going. Yeah, and then you don't like you're getting you're of the way really. Yeah you're getting two things done at once. Yeah you're still psychically absorbing the content of the podcast via the electrons because you and you're also getting some great cartoon comedy for adults. That's right.

Maybe you're some kind of mind reader. Hey folks I'll tell you who isn't who isn't mind read mine. That's right. You're going with the the you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th th thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi's thiically thiocically thiolically thi thi thi thiably, thiically, thiically thiically thiically thiically thiically thiically thiically 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 thi who isn't blind reader. I'll tell you who can't just read minds and remind what you're talking about. Do you know where I'm going with this, Ben? Yeah, well I'm looking at where your cursor is in the document and frankly, it's perfect, but incredible. I am of course talking about a fun, a fun little event we had a news conference this week, when dip-shitty little liberal politician Chris Pine. That's good segue.

Thank you. Well, you have to interrupt it all, Ben. It was really room the flow. Look, that was genuinely I could not stop that from happening. That was an unproct. I take it as respect. Also, that was very much not this week. That was last week, but still good. It was last week. Yeah, we're trying to keep up with the news, man. It just keeps happening.

It's just every day. More news. Every day. I tell you what, they really put the cycle in 24-hour news cycle. Yes, they do. Was that, anyway? Is that not good? Anyway. Anyway. So Chris Pine was a the the 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. that 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. that that that the. that that the. the. that the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the.? Is that not good? Anyway, anyway. So Chris Pine was doing a press conference when he was asked about, of course, Victoria's menacing African gang crime problem, which is, of course, we all understand to be an offshoot of Matt Brady's apex gang in the Hunter Valley. Someone should ask him to tone it down a little. Yeah, just ease up, ease up. Now, the question that Chris Byrne was asked obviously stemmed from Immigration Minister and Racism Overlord, Peter Dutton, making his comments that people are afraid to go out to dinner in Melbourne

because of all the rampant Sudanese gangs running roughshod all over the whole city. Everybody's scared, everybody's extremely scared. The problem was that it was framed in that context instead of somebody saying, do we all have to be scared of the black people? So Chris kind of missed what they were talking about. We've got the audio here for you because it's very funny. Here we go folks. Are you friends to go out to restaurants in the Melbourne tongue? Should I be? Oh because because of the game, the...

Oh, because of the game, the... I wasn't following you, Mark, I didn't know, understand the question. Perhaps you could ask me again. Ha ha ha! Now, in case you couldn't quite make out the questioning there, it was, are you afraid to go out to restaurants in Melbourne, to which he gave the obvious reply when you were not thinking in the context, the context, the context, the context, the context, the context, the context, the context, the context, the context, the context, the context, the context, the context, the context, I the context, I the context, I the context, I was thi, I was thi, I was that I was that I was thin, I was that I was that I was that I was, I was, I was, I was that I was that I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was that I was that I was 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 toe, toe, toe, thin, thin, thin, the thin, the right right right right-a, toea, toearnia, thin, their right right-s waqaqaqaqaqaqa, I was, I was, I was, I you afraid to go out to restaurants in Melbourne to which he gave the obvious reply when you are not thinking in the context of right-wing fear politics which is no why would I be? Oh because of the gang's

oh the fear means the gangs. Oh the bit the bit we're doing politically and the bit that absolutely killed me I didn't pick up on it the first time I heard that clip, was when he gets to the end and says, oh, oh, right, you know, because of the gangs and all that sort of stuff. Right, I didn't understand the question you're asking. Perhaps you could ask me again. Yeah, I hadn't heard that either, like it's a fun fun joke that, fun, fun, fun, fun, that, that, that, that, that we're all we're all having a big good laugh at just you know maligning a whole community I didn't I didn't realize I was meant to be doing the the racial fear just tee that one up for me again just lob me a nice underhand you know on that one so that I can really knock it out of

the park and I think I worked out for him pretty much just the same anyway. Oh smooth sailing after that point. And in his actual answer I did also think that it was noteworthy that he said like because he is from Adelaide and his response was basically him saying oh well I don't know about it or or I'm not scared to go out there or whatever because I'm not from there and I don't live there. But my colleagues in Victoria tell me that this is an issue, and my colleagues in Victoria say that this thing is the most important issue, and my colleagues in Victoria say that

law and order there is very important and everyone scared. So he manages to trot out the party line ever actually saying at any stage, I agree with this and it's actually happening. He's just saying, he's just attributing the statements to Peter Dutton and like you know whatever shit stains are currently in Victorian liberals. Matthew Guy is he still the leader? Yes. He's the guy that gives us all those great headlines. The fucking turd of a man. Yeah guy does this. Yeah, guy afraid of African people. Oh buddy. Oh he sucks. He sucks so so bad. But yeah I also thought that it was very, I thought that that whole thing was very telling

not, well obviously it was very telling. But I thought that it was very, I thought that that whole thing was very telling, well, obviously it was very telling, but I thought that it was particularly apt that it came from Chris Pine, because to me he is one of the politicians who most sort of, like, he is one of the people who is most obvious and clear about the fact that to him, all of this is performance. He is very, like he's the epitome of the sort of, like, it's all just a big show kind of politician. He's known in, he's known in Parliament as being like one of the people who knows all the rules and all the bits and pieces back to front so that he can pull them out and Stymie debate and all that sort of stuff

But other than that, he's also just extremely engaged in the theatrics of it and he's somebody who makes very clear, you know, that it's all just a big show and Like you said there to just kind of laugh off. Oh, I forgot I meant to be talking about how we're all supposed to be scared of this particular immigrant community because clearly it's not a fucking real thing. Yeah, just very apt that it was Chris. I had a fun, like two day long argument on Twitter with some labor supporting boomers the other day. This is your fault, Ben. I don't know if that's true.

It's absolutely true. It's your fault that I can't stop myself from fighting with people on like days, except time. Yeah, because any, any article or any tweet or anything that references Chris Pine will immediately garner like 35 replies from 50-year-old Australian labor supporters saying, Oh, a little Chrissy Pine, the prissy little bitch loves to suck Malcolm's dick. There's a big gay homo who's too conservative. Yeah, Chris Pine is like the, um, he's the perfect portal into the Australian version

of the like, um, American Democrats who are like, hey, I'm an ally and I love LGBT rights. And oh my god, look at Donald Trump sucking Putin's dick like a fag. Man have you seen that the resistance whole article that's like this so good this artist has drawn a mural of Trump and Putin make it out but made it a thought bubble so they're both thinking about was it Pamela Anderson so people know it's not homophobic. And no right and and sure enough like Ben quote tweeted some article about Chris Pine and I went and looked and sure enough the first like three replies like labor supporters going to be to be getting a spanking for

oh it was it was it was this it was this bit of audio that we are talking about now that you had that you'd posted and I looked at the replies and they were all yeah these dudes going no he's gonna he's gonna be over Malcolm's knee tonight getting a spanking little Chrissy and the first reply was like and loving it guys, good stuff. And they got extremely mad about it and spent the next, you know, six hours insisting that there is absolutely no way that, you know, calling a, calling a guy who is known for being somewhat effeminate, like, Chrissy, taking a spanking from his male boss and loving it could be interpreted as like homophobic or suggesting that he's gay I was like yeah, how could anyone interpret it like that? And then the guy followed it up by

retweeting something with like a Photoshop of Flatemy Aputon fucking Donald Trump. Now that's a good one. I was like, yeah, yeah, okay. Got him. Got him. He's gonna hate it when he sees that, and he knows how bad gay people are. Got him. That's good ally ship everybody.

Homophobia as a punchline. Great stuff. They ought to ban that. Hey, speaking of banning things... That was much worse than the one you did before, Jesus. Well I'm just jumping into it now so you can't tread all over it. Geez. By it with your appreciative laughter. You know how I hate that? Apparently. Oh not really. I love it. I appreciate it. A lot. man. I respect you as a person and a colleague. That's too much. And I respect Lucy a lot too. And that's it. Moving on.

Oh, boy. Not really. Not really. Geez. Don't really respect Lucy? I respect Lucy somewhat. I respect Lucy somewhat. I respect Theo a lot though. Oh you only respect the woman somewhat. That's interesting. He doesn't see gender. I don't respect women because I don't see gender. I don't respect women because I don't see them. I see gender I just don't see women. Just don't see women. Just don't see women. My lifestyle. I don't really see a lot of them. I always really like those bits that Colbert would do on the Colbert report. It was like, um, I don't see race.

Every time his character would break out the I don't see race stuff. Very good. I don't see race, but I assume that I'm white because police officers call me sir. All that kind of stuff. Don't see race, but I assume I'm white because I buy my drugs at a pharmacy. All that kind of stuff. That was a simpler time, the mid-2000s. Anyway, folks, thinking of banning things. Yep. Fantastic newspaper, the Daily Telegraph, which for some reason hasn't been consumed

into a shittier organism. I think it's because it feasibly can't be, right? There is no shittier organism. Yeah, that's fair. That's probably fair. They are, they posted a very funny, a very funny piece this week in which they are, I guess they could be charitably described as shitting their britches about the nanny state. You know that most hated thing of freedom lovers, the nanny state of nannies. Before we get into the article, can we describe for

the listener the image that they've taken as the lead for their social posts about it? How would you describe this? Okay, let me help you out here. As a professionally trained graphic designer, I'd like to break this down for you. Yeah, all right. Number one, we have, well, it's so unbalanced, it's terrifying. The composition, not ideal.

The composition is not great. We have on the top left here a huge bold-faced all-caps font with what we are banning now in NSW, meaning New South Wales folks, but it's harder to make out the acronyms when absolutely everything is capitalized. We have a list, again in all caps, going right down at the right-hand side of it..... The.. The the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the th-it-it-it-it-it-it-inial-in. The-in. Comp-inial-in. Comp. Compi-coi-coi-coi-co-co. Comp. Composition. Composition, the composition. Compi. Composition, the-composition, the-composition, the composition. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp. Comp, composition, composition, the composition, the composition, the composition, the composition, th-co-cial, th-cial, th-cial-cial-cial-cial-cial-cial-cial-cial-cial-cial. Composition, th-cial. Composition, th-c. Composition, it's, th-c. Composition, it's, composition, it's, composition, composition, composition, composition, composition, composition, composition, composition, composition, composition, composition, composition, it's, composition, composition, is, is, not-c. Composition, not-c. harder to make out the acronyms when absolutely everything is capitalized. We have a list, again in all caps, going right down the right-hand side of it. And then on the bottom left here we have what can only be described as an incredibly, crudely traced Thor's hammer. It 110% has been done in MS Paint. I refuse to entertain the idea that this has been done in MS paint.

I refuse to entertain the idea that this has been done. I mean like I guess you could do something this bad in Photoshop with like just a tablet. But like they must have completely bypassed their graphics department, right? Because this is like a clip art hammer, then they have used, clearly it's just a hand operating a mouse to draw a clip art hammer, then they have used, clearly it's just a hand operating a mouse to draw a sort of explosion behind the head of the hammer, and then they've also clearly using a mouse crudely written the word ban on the hammer in a way in which the letters don't quite orient the same as the orientation of the head of the hammer. I think we should probably use this hammer as the art for the episode.

Well, I think it's better for the list to just hear it described by my words which are evocative and rich. I think they're already picturing it right now. We could just use completely different image for the lead. Well, I'd also like to just note that the actual depiction of the ha, the ha, the ha, the ha, the ha, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, thus, the, th, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thea, theauuuiii, thea, thea, the, the, that the actual depiction of the hammer the perspective is completely off. Oh it's very unsettling why does... Well how are we seeing both sides of the bevel like that? It's just it just doesn't make any sense. And of course and of course let's all take a moment to note the extremely like 2004 forum language of the ban hammer. Mmm. Who the fuck is?

Instead of curiosity, what happens if you Google image search ban hammer? Do you think it's that hammer? I don't think it, surely it's not that hammer. I mean... It's not that hammer. There's a lot of hammers though. You could have just used one of multiple hammers from this Google search. Well, I'll tell you what, the first two results

are of a hammer that is almost identical to the one that's depicted in the cartoon. I think they've gone, I want this hammer, and then someone's gone, oh well, you can't just, I will not be paying for it. Oh my god, you're absolutely right. They've just done a horrible Photoshop job in one of these hammers. They have. Oh my god, it's literally the first result is the one that they've traced over. Look at it. It's at the same angle and everything. It is. The one with a big red ban on the side. So I'm saving it, saving an image for the cover art. It life. Some fucking like 55 year old quote unquote journalist has been like, yeah, a ban hammer. Oh we don't have the rights that fuck.

I know how to use paint. I'll be right. So it's terrible. It's terrible and shitty stuff. And they've given us a list of 15 things that are being banned by the psychotic SJWs of the Nanny State. Well they've sort of given us a list of 15 things that have been banned. They've given us varianningly things that have been banned and not banned? Descriptions of bans? It'll come out in the reading but this is very confusing. It's confusing. Now it's, well it's worth noting at this point that this is the, this is like the conservative,

the Australian conservative talking heads understanding of the word ban, which is there is some rule that pertains to this somewhere in the country. Or some form of social pressure because it's shitty. Yep. Whereas like, yeah, they very often like to act as though any kind of conversation happening around something or, as you said, there's some sort of social pressure being exerted, constitutes like people being censored and banned and these things being prohibited from being done and all that kind of shit. So shall we run down the list and try to decipher some of this? Yes. Thank you if you're enthusiastic consent then. Number one, single-use plastic bags. We of course know that this is a gigantic bug bear for a Daily Telegraph columnist.

Andrew Bolt, that's probably why it's number one. Let's be real. I wonder how he's going with his, like he's probably dead from, um, from like, what was the, from the Ecoli that he was, he was going to get Ecoli from carrying his loose meat home in his cloth bag. I would like put a small amount of money betting that he that he that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is th. th. that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is that he is th. th. that's th. that's that's that's that's probably that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's th. I was th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's probably th. I's probably th. I's probably th. I'm th. I's probably th. I'm th. th. th. I'm th. I his loose meat home in his cloth bag. I would like put a small amount of money betting that he is collecting all of the meat juice from his meat trays, storing it in little containers, going to the shopping center, pouring it onto people's hession bags, and just praying one of them gets a horrible, horrible E. Infection? No. I don't know what you call that. But that he's trying to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be patient to be patient to be patient to be patient to be patient to be patient to be patient to be patient to be patient the patient the patient their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their their their. their their. their their their. their their their their their their their. their their their their their. their their their their their their. their their their their their their theat. theat. theat. teat. teat. teat. teat. thea. teat. theat. theat. the theat. the the you call that. But he's trying to plan it.

He's trying to be patient zero here. He would. Number two. Toy weapons and birthday cakes in child care centers. Uh, not sure about this one. Not really sure. That's true. I remember something about they're like, they don't want kids playing with guns. Uh, very I don't thi that's particularly unreasonable. that's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to to 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 be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be thi. He thi. He thi. He thi. He thi. He thi. He thi. He thi. He thi. thi. thi thi thi thi try try try try try try try thi try thi thi thi to to thi to thi thi. thi. they like, they don't want kids playing with guns. Uh, I don't think that's particularly unreasonable, to be honest. I kind of feel like that's just becoming more and more of a normal thing. Yeah. Um, which I don't really care about, because it's not like it's hard for kids to, I mean, like, it's not as much a problem in Australia in the sense that, if I live in the States, I probably wouldn't want my kid playing with a fake gun.

No, because they're gonna be fucking around in your like bedside drawer, pull out your gun and then kill you and then themselves, like happens every fucking week in that country. Yes, one of my many guns I would know. I was also thinking of tooling around outside with a cap gun and getting fucking the police. Oh yeah. As also... So many ways they could die. Yeah. Three, discounts on non-takeaway coffee cups from Starbucks. That's like always given you a discount for when you use a keep cup. That's not a ban. That's not even just Starbucks. My cafe that I go to, it's like always given you a discount for when you use a keep cup. Because they don't have to give you a cup. Wait, hang on. Yep. But are they're saying. their. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. Like. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. t give you a cup. Wait, hang on. Yeah, but are they saying that has been banned? No, they're saying like Starbucks just introduced this. So it's the opposite of a ban. It's the opposite of a ban.

There's like articles about boomers saying how unfair it is. That you get a discount if you use a keep cup. Yeah, like every fucking cafe does that. But that's not bad about this. No, they've banned it. Specifically, the government has said they can't do discounts on non-takeaway coffee cups from Starbucks. Yes. Presumably. They haven't.

This is why it's very convoluted message. The next one gets even more confusing. Number four, the Prime Minister's bonk ban on ministers having sex with staff. So they've banned the bonk ban? Yeah, very confusing. That's what we're banning now in New South Wales. Yeah, and of course people I'm sure are aware, unless you're not aware, that there was the whole thing with the deputy prime minister getting pseudo-fired because he had been a fucking one of his staffers for ages and got it knocked up and had a baby with her and it was a whole big embarrassing cluster fuck for weeks and weeks and weeks.

And so they did a thing which I think most people would have thought was already a normal workplace condition, which was made, made explicit that you are would have thought was already a normal workplace condition, which was made explicit that you are not allowed to fuck your staffers who you are in a position of power over if you're a politician. Terrible, awful. Which again, like everybody said about the Barnaby Joyce thing the whole time, any other like corporate business in the country, if you were a married executive or whatever and people went, oh you're fucking your EA and you got them pregnant, that you would probably have to quit in disgrace.

Or you would get fired or you would be very sternly hung out to dry by HR or whatever because of all the extremely obvious conflict of interest and power imbalance there. But because it wasn't specifically spelled out in the ministerial standards and code of conduct and stuff like that because I don't think any of us have a hard time believing that they have very deliberately kept those standards extremely vague for a long time so that they can't be pinned down on things. But basically there was such a feaur about the whole thing that they made it explicit and said, hey, don't fuck people who work on you please.

That's what we're mad about at the Daily Telegraph. Well, so I assume that the, you know, Daily Telegraph being a Murdoch rag and I assume that no other Murdoch publications have covered any kind of, you know, sex between people and political power and, you know, their subordinates, like, you know, maybe Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton. I assume that they've taken a consistent position on this throughout time. Of course not. Number five, McDonald's and Milo, that's the drink, not the all right dip shit. McDonald's and Milo to be stopped from sponsoring junior sports clubs. To be stopped is doing a lot of heavy lifting there in the sense that this sounds like a thing that hasn't actually happened?

Yeah, I don't know what that's about. Sounds like a thing that might happen. But yeah, it just sounds like a, hey, let's not have sports sponsored by junk food. Terrible. Nanny state. I know. I mean, hey, if I had my way, they wouldn't be able to advertise shit like gambling during sports, but you know, that's just me. Hey children, here's 20,000 ads on how to gamble online while you're trying to watch your fucking game at AFL. Number six, party balloons in parks. What? Not heard about that one.

I think it's making shit up, honestly. Is that like a litter thing or something maybe? I don't know. Well, it's like I said, the idea of bans, you know, I'm assuming that something like that is just a, hey, the, you know, the Parks Department, or whatever it's called, just has a thing that's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, like, please, please, please, like, please, please, please, please, like, like, thi, thi, the, you know, the parks department or whatever it's called, just has a thing that's like, please don't bring lots of balloons to the park when you're doing a party or whatever because people always either just leave them there or pop them all and the things

just sit there or whatever, and they're acting like it's this fucking, like, like the thought police are coming through and taking people off to prison if they bought a balloon to the park? Have you guys watched Mad Men? Like, yeah. Yeah. So you know in the first season, I think it's in like the second episode or something. They go to, so Don, like, and the family, like, go to a park. They have a picnic, their family, like, theyrown, their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the. the. to. to. to. the to. to. to. the to. to. to. the the the to. the the the to. the the the the the the the the the the the the their like Coke cans and all that sort of stuff. And at the end, he gets up and he lifts the blanket and just throws all the trash on the ground and then they all get up and they go and get in the car and drive away. And I just imagine every boomer just like uncontrollably standing out of their seats with

hands on their hearts going like. Back when we used to be great. Holyf, th, th, th, th, th, th, like, like, th, like, like, th, th, like, th, like, th, like, like, like, thu, like, thus thus, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. And th. And th. And th. And thi. And th. And, th. And, th. And, th. So, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, like, like, like great. Holy fuck, this is incredible. Uh, okay, so this is the article the Daily Telegraph sites, right? Imagine a party or fair without balloons and those amazingly created animal shapes, twisted in seconds by these experts. That's the scenario facing locals, following the ban on balloons being released in public places by some councils in New South Wales, Western Australia and Victoria. Canterbury Bankstown Council said there is no ban on balloons, but said anyone releasing 20 or more gas-filled balloons in public can be fired up to $750 under the New South

Wiles Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997. So it literally doesn't exist. It's like if you release more than 20 balloons, if you release them, you can have them, you the, you, you, you the, you the, you the, you the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the Environment Operations Act 1997. So it literally doesn't. It's like if you release more than 20 balloons, if you release them, you can have them. That is fine. Just don't put all those fuckers up in the sky because they're going to come down somewhere and go like straight into the throat of a cormorant, I assume. Yeah, I also like the, um, here's what New South Wales is banning 21 years ago. This is so fucking insane.

I love it. This is like literally their lead on it is like it's a bad and then the third paragraph is it's not a bad. Oh, good God. Also, all I can find about like Milo and McDonald's is some health groups are calling for an end to these sponsorships. These people have a sickness. They have a sickness in their brain.

Look I know we always say the same thing and it's really tired but they like these people just have this obsession with saying that like, you know, leftists are determined to take offense at everything and like... Yeah, and they're literally making shit up. Yeah, it's just finding lists of things to go, like, look number seven, ball sports in certain council parks. Which they don't have a link for at the bottom.

Like, they cite all of them except for like three or four, and they don't have one for the ball sports. And you get the feeling that that's some shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit that's some some some some some some s some s some s some that's some that's some s some that's some that's some that's some s some the feeling that that's some shit like, you know, hey, you know, these parks are these hours are reserved for like dog parks so don't come down like ten mates to play a game of soccer. Now, number nine is a little confusing, witches, goblins and other things that go bump in the night. I love that.

What is this? Because, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, sothat so much. Because so they the full story is oh damn fucking look at this shit. Yeah so some bloody some author said that political correctness is growing in the industry and she's worried that they might not be able to have books about spooky things anymore. That's literally the whole thing. But their lead in the graphic doesn't mention from books. It's just witches and other things that go bump in the night. We are banning witches. They're right out. Goblins? No thank you. Other things that go bump in the night. We are banning witches. Banning witches. Goblins?

No, thank you. Other things that go bump in the night, that's a very heavy fine. Nomes are okay. Yeah, they're not nocturnal as far as I'm aware. What about girls who love astrology? They're out. Out with witches. It's soft to witchcraft. It's soft witchcraft. It's soft witchcraft. It is. Oh dear. You cannot have a got a goth girlfriend.

No, ban on got their headline. Was it just that face when? Disappointing. Number 10. Drinking at Popular Sydney Sydney beaches. They're like public drinking. I'm not, I'm pretty sure it's already, I don't think you can drink at beaches in Queensland either. I just do it every time I'm there, regardless. Like if you're going to the beach and you're not taking a few tinnies with you, what the fuck are you doing? When I moved to Melbourne, right, a thing that I noticed that was very different was how often I would see people just walking down the street like with a beer or whatever. That's not legal though. Well, and I was like, huh, that's noticeably different. Like I was seeing a lot of people just walking around like that, like it was normal.

And whereas I was always kind of like, oh I thought that just, you know, it was either frowned upon or you weren't supposed to or whatever. And being my friend who were walking along, drinking beers, walked right past a police station and I said, hey, hold my beer for a second. And I went into the police station and after standing there for a minute, somebody popped their head out around the counter and went, can I help you? And I went, yeah, I just moved here and I'm trying to figure out, is it illegal to like walk around drinking in public?

And they went, huh? Hold on a second. And they poked, they went back over to the door they'd come out of, and they poked their head back into the station and went, hey guys, I said, are you allowed to walk around like with a, with a drink? And like I waited for a second while they hashed it out. And eventually this police officer came back out and she said, yeah, we're not really sure, but like, better safe than sorry, you know, maybe just act like it's not legal.

It probably differs from council to council. I don't think it's police. I was like, thank you police for telling me the law. Like very silly. Like obviously there's places where, you know, like, obviously, like, obviously, there's places where, you know, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. thelling me the law. Like very silly. Like obviously there's places where, you know, like, obviously there's places where people are far more prone to be like drinking all day and acting like total dipshits, which is usually like boardwalks and beaches and shit like that. Places where they've sort of made a point of coming down a bit harder on it because people keep behaving the same way over and over again. But generally speaking, so many of these things are just like, yes, they have a rule there or they have a law there

or whatever. And that's there so that they have something to point to when someone's acting the fucking fool and they want them to stop. Or it's there so they have something to point to when the person is not white. Yeah. Yeah. Those things too. Um, but you get what I mean though, like generally with a lot of this stuff I think in Australia, like you can just, like you were saying, you can just go and do the thing. if you're not bothering anybody, nobody gives a fuck. Yeah, I mean it's, I think you have to be a specific kind of person for them to not bother you, but for the most part, they don't give a shit. Like if you are a white person walking along with a beer and a cop goes past you, they're not going to fucking pull over to be like, hey, pour that out. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to their, their, to to their, their, their. to be, to be, to be, to be, I. to be, to be, to to be, to be, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, the kind, their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. thr. thr. to. toea. th. that. thr-a. thr-a. thr-a. thr completely wrong and I'm very ready to have people right in and savagely roast me or whatever, but I don't think that culturally it is as pronounced here as it is in the states, like you know, we've seen so much evidence of like all of the

all of the videos of like white people just calling the cops on people of color for like having a barbecue in a place where you're allowed to have a barbecue in a place where you to like to like to to to to to to to to the to th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the th th the the the th th the that the and that the the the the and the the and the and the and the and th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th and th th th and th th th th th th th th th th th th the and the and the and the the the the the the that that that that that that that that that that to that to that that that that that that that that that that that that th videos of like white people just calling the cops on People of Color for like having a barbecue in a place where you're allowed to have a barbecue All those fucking heartbreaking videos of people just doing normal shit and having wide people go Oh, you seem like you're not allowed here Like absolutely a wild shit which which I think is not I don't think that's as ingrained culturally here. I'm absolutely certain that it does happen to people. I'm sure that it happens extremely disproportionately to Aboriginal people. But yeah, just as a very broad thing. I think it's not quite like that here.

But, um, oh, number 12, kebab shops remaining open after midnight. Yeah, I didn't know about that one. Khab shops are always open. As I saw a lot of people pointing out about all of this stuff, I mean, like, the premier of this state, Gladys Berrigljiklion is like, on, on the cover of this article talking about how out of control like the premier of this state, Gladys Berrigiclian, is like on the cover of this article talking about how out of control all this stuff is and all these people like, you're the leader of the government that like says people in Sydney aren't allowed to go out after 1.30 a.m.

Like you're the guys who made all these rules. You made these rules. These are not leftist rules. Like. Yeah. There's no leftists out there who will like stop people from getting kebabs. Yeah. S. J. W. S. W. Hate kebabs. Yeah. I can't find a single reference to this. The kebab stuff. That's not a thing. I've definitely eaten a kebab even in Sydney after midnight. What is this? It is the time to eat them.

Actually all the time is the time to eat them. But specifically after midnight. Oh, hang on. So there's one story from October 2016 on Junky about a, a kebab shop. Oh, okay, so they said that because of some council regulations, they'll be they'll be they'll be they'll they'll they'll their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the so they said that because of some council regulations they'll be closing at midnight. But this was like two years ago and this was something to do with Maricville Council blah. This is all the most cherry-picked shit on the planet. They've honestly just been scraping like very like their

writers have very clearly been potold just find every instance you possibly can of a thing that's not allowed. So this is interesting. In the article it says according to an noise council spokesperson the council responded to a complaint alleging business was making too much noise and mess and was making the area unsafe while following up the complaint the council found out that their license only allowed them to operate up until midnight so so so so the council the the council the the the council the the the their their their their their their. so their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. to. to. to. their. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. the. the. the. the. the. the.......... the........................................................................................... t...... t. t.. t.. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. the. t. the. the complaint, the council found out that their license only allowed them to operate up until midnight, so they told the restaurant to limit its hours. Right.

So they have been forced to trade until midnight because their license went up until midnight. This is like taken a lot of research to find these things. There was of course a whole full-length article that went along with this and I really enjoyed reading it the the the r the r the re the re the re the re the re the re the r-the the r-the to to to to to to the r-it to to tothese things. There was of course a whole full-length article that went along with this and I really enjoyed reading through it and noting that like every single person that they have, they're talking about like Australian leaders sound off on this thing and every single person they've talked to is like a white person over 60. Just talking about how it was better in the good old days. It's fucking insane. So great, like every single person is just, like it's all

like Jerry Harvey and Dick Smith just like 60, 70 year old guys going, eh, you used to be fine. It's like it's fine now, you're fucking weirdo. So, let's move along from this one. It's absolutely ridiculous. Please check out the article if you'd like to be mad at yourself and at us. Because I wanted to take a moment to address an irate listener. That's right folks. Oh no. A friend of the show wrote in, he didn't, he didn't like revoke his friendship or anything, which

is good, because we do love our friends of the show. But he was somewhat incensed by our guest on the show last week. Friend of the show Ed Zittron. You missed out on Ben. I can't remember what I was doing, but I'm sure it was important. Oh, if you were going to visit your mother who was kicked by a horse. Yes that I was being sarcastic but it turns out it was very true that was important. Yeah so friend of the show Philip posted on a Patreon site to voice his displeasure so I just wanted to read out

what he had to say and respond if that's right with everybody. Before we go into this, is this a real grievance or a joke grievance? I just want to prepare my emotions correctly. It's a real grievance but not with us, which is good. Okay. All right. Just with one of our guests. I'm very sensitive. I've had a very long day. I wasn't ready to be to' down. So, yes, the context for you folks is we were talking about Sasha Baron Cohen's new TV show. And Ed, I thought, relatively offhandedly, said that Sasha Baron Cohen's Israeli guy character and also Borat are just generally kind of racist. Philip replies, Zitron's take on Sasha Baron Cohen's new show, the context-free wokeness of its racist-to-do impressions of Israelis is the absolute bottom tier of the galaxy brain meme.

The obvious point of Sasha Baron Cohen's going full Israeli face is to show how easily this character activates the pleasure centers of Republicans and has them do literally everything. Now I'd just like to note that I made that very point on the show when we were talking about it. I did say, you know, he's obviously doing an extremely heightened character of like the one kind of Jew that is most acceptable to evangelical Republicans which is you know hyper-Israeli super pro-Israel dude but that's fine you know just ignore that that's cool he says that which in turn could promote conversations about things like this, and he has a link to how policing in the U.S. and security in Israel are connected. But the rich guy from California who never encounters this aspect of Israeli presence in

American life and probably knows Israelis as salesmen of electronic appliances in LA or business partners think Sasha Baron Cohen did a racism. Oh boy. I think, I think Ed probably orders most of his appliances online. Clearly, Sasha Baron Cohen who has family in Israel and speaks Hebrew fluently should have consulted the rich guy from California about what real Israelis are like. But to me, in Israeli, he did fine,

even if nothing he'll ever do, could be anywhere near as good as the Ali G's show. And that's a bold claim that I would like to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their thoom thoom. thii, thi, thi, thi, thoom. I thoom. I thoom. I tho. I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, thin, think, think, thin, think, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, th RLEG show. And that's a bold claim that I would like to take issue with. Well, so what I wanted to sort of talk about with this is, like, I think the part of the issue with Sasha Baron Cohen's deal, and I think that we can all agree that what he's doing at the moment is, the, like, the best thing he's done in years, in the sense of of of of of we can all agree that what he's doing at the moment is the best thing he's done in years, in the sense of actually, you know, cutting through to something in the same way that some of his older stuff did.

I think that this is just a minor point, but I agree with that, but I also think that the fact that this one is like, I mean, there's probably better words than this, but, this, this, this, this, thi, thinuui, thin –, thin –, I, thin –, I, thin – – – I, thin – I, thin – I, thin – I, thin, thin, thr-a, thr-a, thi, thin, I, the thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the the the the the the the the thi, thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thruui, thrui, thrui, thrui. thin, thee thin, thi the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, there's probably better words than this, but morally righteous in some way is purely by coincidence. Like, I don't think he has quite the exacting moral compass that he seems to and that it's more that he just knows that this is a good way that people will get behind it and that it's funny. Well, what's interesting is that Philip has linked to an article where he was talking about how that character activates the pleasure centers of Republicans. He's linked to an article on Jewish currents by Noah Cullwyn about Sasha Baron Cohen and the Rights Imaginary Israeli.

Now, straight off the bat, this article starts after a trilogy of misfires, 2009's Bruno, 2012's the Dictator and 2016's Grimsby, Sasha Baron Cohen has finally returned to form with Showtime Series who was America. So, like, straight off the bat, we're acknowledging that he's, like, hasn't done a good incisive thing in 10 years. That's a, that's a good stretch of like, just whiffing on your, on your, on your, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, the whole, thin, thin, thin, the whole, the whole, thin, thin, thin, the the their, their, thin, thin' is, thin' is, thin' is, thin' is, thin' is, thin' is, thin's, thin's, thin's, thin's, thin's, thin's, thin's, thin's, thin's, thin's, thin's, thin's, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, that's a good stretch of like just whiffing on you on your on your the whole thing that you're doing you know and in this piece it says in the premier of who is America the British comedian returns the characters and methods more similar to his earlier creations bore an allergy this time around Cohen cycles through four characters and Alex Jones like Charlotte on on a Hornet scooter, and a feat Hillary-loving liberal clad in a ponytail

an MPR t-shirt, a British ex-con who makes paintings from his feces and semen, and most effective of all, and Israeli fixated on putting more guns in the hands of American children. The Jones' character and the ex-con are capable of holding attention on their own and successful in drawing out their subjects. Bernie Sanders and an Oguna Beach artist, art gallerist respectively. Cohen's second character, the ponytail liberal who introduces himself by apologizing for his white privilege, falls flat, parodying what reads like a Bush-era liberal, a stick that's at least a decade past its prime. I think it's really interesting that in the context of this piece that like it's, ah, the one that the Republicans fell for is the one that like really, really works, but the one

that's making fun of liberal stereotypes falls really flat. I mean, totally doesn't work. That one kind of did suck, to be honest. that one isn't so much like, I don't that it it it that it just that it just that it just that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's just just just just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's just, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, thi. thi. that's, that's, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that one, that one, that one, that one, that one, that one, that one, that one, that one, that one, that one isn't so much like I don't know it just seemed like it was more him trying to Tom Green a situation than to reveal some I don't know it just didn't sit well with me. but it did have the effect in the sense of that the people that he was talking to were like oh this is a real guy who believes this shit. So, yeah, like I thought it was interesting that this basically opens by acknowledging, like a decade straight of shit not being particularly good by Sasha Baron Cohen.

I did not like Bruno at all because Bruno was an entire movie length thing of like imagine if a guy was really gay. Yeah. But Borat. Your favorite? Well, okay, so. Look, look, this is my most problematic opinion that I'm about to say. Doing an accent is always funny. Wow.

Doing an accent is always funny, even though people get mad at us about the South African ones. But look, here's the difference for me, right? So Bruno was the same model as Ali G and Borat and stuff, except it was like, imagine someone that's confrontationally gay. And a lot of what was supposed to be the comedy in that was like just him being aggressively sexual to people who they knew weren't going to like it and then going like,

ha, this guy from, this like Republican from Alabama didn't deal with it very well when you pulled your dick out and rested it on his shoulder or like this focus group of people didn't react very warmly when you showed like showed them a pilot of your show that was literally like 10 minutes straight of just dicks flopping around in slow motion. It's just that shit where it's like what what are we meant to be taking away from this like are they actually like are people supposed to go oh great? No I love that and it's awesome and fine. And like the dictator was was just hey abrasive Arab stereotypes and Grimsby was just like imagine a chav.

Imagine a poor British person. Pretty funny though. I don't watch you guys. I hear it's very hot and cold. Yeah, pretty much. But my point being though that Sasha Baron Cohen's stuff flip-flops pretty wildly between punching up and punching down. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of his shit that is like, that is like, ha, imagine someone that's really gay or imagine someone that was really poor or imagine someone that was very Arab or... I think, like, you can draw a very clear line between, he has basically two types of stuff. You know, one, which is the good shit, which is him articulating people's own opinions in a way that's fucking makes it so clear how th a th a th a th a the the the the the the the the thi the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi' that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's own opinions in a way that's fucking makes it so clear how insane they are and having those people still agree with

them right which is what he's doing with a lot of these Republican guys and then the other kind is just exhausting people's capacity to be polite to someone that's being real fucking weird like even even, you know, there was that thing where he's having a dinner with like, this is him as the liberal character, he's having a dinner with this like Republican, rich husband and wife or whatever, and most of it is him just saying fucking insane shit and then being like, oh, that's nice because people don't want to fucking argue, people don't want to confront people or whatever, and it's him just basically kind of making people look like dumb asses by letting them continue to be polite.

I don't know, it's fucking weird. Yeah, no, I was going to say exactly the same thing, Ben. I haven't seen the TV show yet, but it's the same with his other stuff, right? The stuff where he really draws people out on a limb is really good, right? Like, and it shows where, like, the best parts of Borat are where they get, where he gets them to somehow participate, instead of just being... 10,000 people at a rodeo to cheer about wanting the, George Bush drinking the blood of every man, woman, a child in Iraq. That's genius, right? And so the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, is, th. And, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is th. Um, is th. Um, is th. Um, th.and people at a rodeo to cheer about wanting the George Bush drinking the blood of every man, woman, a child in Iraq. That's genius, right?

And so the other stuff, I think, has to live on its own merits comedically for which he's incredibly hit and miss, right? So like not everything, like so him opening a briefcase and having a chicken hop out in the subway, very, very funny, right? But like, it doesn't seem like he has enough of those gags to support the rest of his material for the length of a TV show. Yeah, but like, so I got to come back to Borat though and explain... You've always got to come back to Borat.

Yeah, we all do. No, like the movie, the movie is the encaps, the encaps, the encaps, the encaps, the the the encaps, the the the the the the encaps, the the the the the the encaps, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, I, I, I to come to come to come to come to come to come to come, I, I, I, to come, I, I, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, to come, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to Borat. Yeah, we all do. No, like the movie though, the movie is the encapsulation to me of what works and doesn't work with his characters which is like if you, like the original Borat, the when it was a segment on the Ali G show, the original Borat was fantastic for all the reasons that we've just described. You are basically present, and and the same thing all the reasons that we've just described. You basically present, and and the same thing as the Israeli character on who is America, which is you take some, like you make a character, which is the sort of heightened character embodiment of negative stereotypes that this person would believe about like a backwards guy from Eastern Europe or a hyper-Israeli dude or

whatever and you present it to them with a straight face and walk them up to the line of these ridiculous things or in a lot of cases, you know, very racist or sexist attitudes and just get them to gleefully agree with them because they're saying, you know, they're basically going, oh I'm in company that's on the same page as me about this stuff. So that's fine. Where it doesn't work in Borat is as soon as it gets into like the staged stuff, because the Borat movie is a mix of like scripted material and interactions with people who don't know that this is what's what's going on. And like I'd go so far as to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say to say the the to say the fact the fact to say the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the the the th th th th that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. th. that th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd th. I'd thi the thi the the the the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th's going on and like I'd go so far as to say the fact that there was scripted material in Borat totally killed

like the the immediacy and and the sort of realness of the unscripted stuff the tripited stuff. Yeah, sort of the opposite effect of like, you know, if you're watching, say, 1980s Cannibal Holocaust, classic Italian found footage zombie movie, they butcher a bunch of like real animals in that movie. I don't know if you've ever seen it. Yeah, it's fucked up. I believe we did a screening of that at a cinema that I worked at. Yeah, it's pretty fucking full on., the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, like, the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, like, the, like, like, the, the, like, like, like, like, like, the, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, 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, you, you're, you're the, you're the, you're, you're, they.e, you're, you're, they.e, they.e, they a cinema that I worked at. Yeah, it's pretty fucking full-on. There's parts where like the, yeah, the villagers they're filming like pull a water buffalo out of

the water and just like hack that dude's whole head off with a machete while it's alive. Man, there's that, the shot in apocalypse now. Yeah, apocalypse. That's a shot. Oh boy, that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's 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. It's their. It's their. It'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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, th. Yeah. Yeah, th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. th's a shot. Oh boy, that fucking makes me ill every single time. But in Cannibal Holocaust, it has this very weird effect where because you're watching like real things get killed and real guts come out of a thing, it sort of heightens the rest of the gore in the movie that is just special effects. The whole thing thing is very uneasy and gross and everything. But yeah, it's kind of inverted in the Borat thing, which is the scripted stuff, which is the scripted stuff,

it just kind of sucks the air out of the non-scripted stuff for me. I don't know if I agree. No. I kind of like the scripted stuff in Borat. I like the unscripted stuff in Borat and I don't think that he's delivered that anywhere else. And I think if you gave him that same balance in a short TV series like Brassai, which we talked about last time, right? Like that would be to me the perfect format for it so that he doesn't have to produce so much material to keep in the whiffs as well as the hits. Yeah, but like the like with Borat, he obviously had to do that to construct a narrative.

Yeah. So they had to be enough of a narrative to pull together an hour and a half's worth of material. If you want to see the logical extreme of that that that the kind that that that kind that kind that kind that kind that kind that kind that kind that kind that kind the kind th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to keep to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. thi. the. they. theuu. they. their. their. their. their. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to pull together an hour and a half's worth of material. If you want to see the logical extreme of that the kind of almost fails completely, you're talking about the Ali G movie, which was completely scripted. I think I remember that being pretty good when I watched it a sleepover when I was 13. Oh fuck no I wouldn't have even been 13 I would have been like 11. Yes I just remember the comedy goal like him handing Oh fuck no, I wouldn't have even been 13, I would have been like 11. Oh, yes, I just remember the comedy gold like him handing his mobile phone to Rona Mitra at the end of the movie and saying, say it to vibrate and finish yourself off. Actually, I would have been 12. I've just placed it in my own timeline.

But yeah, like in that, it's completely scripted and then you're getting none of what makes Ali G work as a character, which is fooling people into thinking that he is who he says he is. And like, and the Ali G thing as well is, you know, in a lot of instances he's fooling people into thinking that he's like a presenter for a youth program or that he's like, you know, that he's just a poor jav dude or like there's instances in the show where the people that he's interviewing say like there's one where somebody that is interviewing says to him, now isn't it interesting that you would say that as a black man? And he just very casually glances to the camera in acknowledgement of it. But like, but yeah, I guess my point is like, you know,

are we only gonna say that there's, you know, you, there's no way to take his Israeli caricature as a bit racist because he's Jewish and because he has family in Israel, but like what about all his other characters? Are people allowed to take Bruno as homophobic? It is. Are people allowed to take Ali G as classist? Maybe. And I guess so the main overarching point of all of this that I wanted to make was I think that this is one of the inherent risks of you know risky comedy which is what he is in the trade of Which is you know this whole thing of saying? Establish a character which is based on? Just negative stereotypes of people. It's impossible to say to all audiences, oh well you can't take it as that way because that's not how it's intended to

its final audience. You know I mean people are going to take it how they take it. And yeah I mean, come on man, look at his crazy big rubber head. I think the most offensive thing about all of this is by far the fucking prosthesis that makes him look like fucking freakish. I hate it so much. I hate looking at it. It's disgusting. It's great.

Um, he looks like, uh, this is very specific, but uh, if you're a listener who recognizes this, thank you. That fucking the Primus video clip with the vinyl Cowboys. Yep, yep. Yeah. I know that one. So, sorry, let me backtrack there. Maybe my point is more just, I think that to kind of get too offended by the suggestion that maybe some of his characters walk the line of

perhaps being uh... you know racially or culturally insensitive or whatever is to kind of conveniently ignore all the parts of Sasha Baron Cohen's career that haven't worked or have fallen flat or did go too far or whatever. I don't know.

I say he didn't go too far enough. I agree. That's a message I'm getting. I have no opinion on this. Oh, it's good. Thank you for your complete lack of opinion, Ben. You're welcome. But anyway, I just thought we should have chat about that because I would hate to think that Philip would think that we were ignoring his concerns.

You know, we like to face up to criticism unless it hurts our feelings, in which case we will not be facing up to it. Absolutely not. Yeah, if we were wrong, I don't want to hear about it. I feel like I've been like very wrong about just a bunch of things recently. Just a bunch of things. I had like eight mile on while I was making some food the other night. And I tweeted something about how like, it's funny, because in the description of this movie it says it's set in 1995, and I think they never make it explicit in the film. I thought you were making a joke. I, honest to God was like, oh, this is a joke about how they don't sort of put enough timely stuff in there.

And then what I saw you correct yourself later, I was like, sending me like screenshots of where it says in the opening of the film on the screen, Detroit, 1995. Oh, come on. I was like, oh, I see. When I went to Detroit, I stayed at a friend's place and their house was just off eight mile road. I was just driving along eight mile road. I was like, oh, that's pretty weird and thenthen took one left turn, drove about 100 meters,

got to their house and it's just this beautiful, green, lush, tree-lined suburbia, these lovely old houses. It was gorgeous. Hmm. Wow. Sounds like a real hell. I'm glad Eminem got out of that. So yeah, I've been wrong enough times recently. I can eat another one. That's cool. So one other thing, folks, before we get out of here, which is that dear friend of the show, where did... Hey, who deleted this out of my notes? I didn't touch it. Not a friend of the show anymore. Enemy of Somebody. S-S-S-S-B-S-B-B, th-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. So, th. So, so-I've th. So, so-I-I-I-I-I. So, so-I. So, so-I. So, so-I. So, so-I. So, so-I, so-I, th. So, 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-Iuu-I-Iu-Iu-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. So, thk. So,? Not a friend of the show anymore. Enemy of somebody, it seems. Son of a bitch.

Can we maybe just give a quick shout out to friend of the show, Dave, who finally got the block from Mark Latham? Oh yes. Somewhere in the vicinity of over 50 tweets about seeing him at the fucking... Prime Minister's 11? Yep. Two years ago, wearing a dirty polo shirt, an oversized shorts, in an extensive number of formats, he broached the subject.

We might, someone collected all the tweets into one place, so we might maybe check at the episode description if we remember. It is just a complete and utter work of art and it's so good to know that Latham didn't have him muted at any point during this and he was tagging him at like the whole time. Uh, that man is is he's not well. He's not well. He's definitely got me muted which is rude. Yeah he never replies to my tweets. Me either. Which seems rude but well done to Dave you've done a great job kisses. Wife of the show? Lover of the show? He's definitely in the top dear. Either way I'd go to bed with him.

Anyway now I know what I'm talking about which is, a dear friend of the show, Trevor from No Cartridge the podcast, the old video game podcast that Theo is definitely going to go on. Oh I'm definitely booked. Don't leave your laptop at Netanyone in 2021. Come on man. Come on. Anyway, so Trevor is currently funding a thing on Indigogo called Four Colors Red, a leftist comics zine. Yeah, no cartridge presents four colors red leftist ceek of comics fandom for the modern age. So just to give you a little rundown on what this is, in 2019 Dr. Trevor Strunk, Dr. Dr. Trevor Strunk, and friends want to spend a whole year delving into the politics of comics. Help us fund an initial season of six critical zenes, then push further into podcasts, artists profiles and more. We've taken a wide approach to our first year. There's

something for every comics reader with a curious mind here. We're going to explore parts of comics other sites won't touch and tie them in with the issues of the day. So if you are interested in getting on board with that, I think you know the rewards are that you can get your get your zines you can get a season pass you can fund like specific podcasts you can pay money to be a podcast guest. Imagine that. All kinds of stuff so you can find that on IndyGo just search for four colors red but of course we'll put the links in all that sort of stuff. So get out there and support Trev, especially if you're a leftist and you like comics and you like Trev. What a great thing you can do. Also congratulations to Trev,

that I learned today, which is truly, it's something about my childhood that has completely changed my perspective on my entire life. I only learned this today and it's still kind kind kind weird with me. Do you remember a footballer by the name of Mitchell Pierce? Absolutely not. So Mitchell Pierce currently plays with Newcastle Knights, formerly, can't remember where, fucking somewhere else, but a couple of years ago, last year actually I believe, he was filmed when he was very drunk, miming having sex with a dog. Oh right. That guy, Mitchell Pierce. That guy, yes. Yep. I found out today that he was in the grade above me at primary school.

I went to school with this man. I probably walked past him dozens of times. The dog fucker lived among me. Well, there was a guy that I went to school with. I think I was probably near 11. And I went to a school that was like, it had like a talented sports program and it was kind of like a feeder system for the Canber Raiders and the Union team and stuff. Jock City. And this guy did wind up making his way into the Camber Raiders and did wind up getting in trouble for the old like Kings Cross public urination, which is like- Oh, that's a classic. That's just like an in our passage. When in Rome. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

When in Rome, piss. Piss. What was that crime pass? The crime pass is of course to drink in public. I want you to get something in a can because we're not fucking animals. the animals. All right. You don't want glass on you. Especially. the the the to get. the the. to get. the. to get. the. the. to get. the. to. the. to. the. the. the. the. to. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Piss. tas. tas. tas. tas. tas. tas. tas. tas. tas. to. to. to. to. tha. to. to. tha. tha. to. the beach. Not at the beach, especially not at the beach, but not at the park, not at beach, not the street. Just fucking tinnies. You want tinnies. Or put it into a coke bottle. I tell you what, you go one part vodka, roughly 12 parts coke

in a coke bottle. Oh, you're done. Plastic coke bottle. I'll tell you, I'll tell you what I like when I'm feeling fancy. One of those Sapporo tall boys. Oh, the leader cans that are indestructible that you can make stilts out of? Oh, yeah. Not familiar. Those things are fucking rock solid. Yeah, they're good ones, try crushing one of them against your forehead and kill yourself.

You simply can't. And also, I believe some of thi. their, it's just very satisfying to hold. They are too. They're great stuff. So get yourself one of them and just carted around in public. Yeah, go to the beach. Drinking beer at the beach is simply divine. That's great. Even a lake that would be just as good, lying in the the cops.

Just get out there. Oh, no you've got a crime pass. You don't have to hide it from the cops. Do it in a cop's face. There you go folks. And that will do it for this week. We will of course see you over on the bonus episodes. You can find them over on Patreon.com. Slash. Buntavista. But until then, we'll see you next time. Bye-bye. Bye. Bye. you to be
