Well, welcome to Buntavista. Episode 60... 66! Wow! So close. They just really went right into it, huh? So close to slipping up there. 66.

No, I think that was perfect. No, I could complain about that it. Thank you, Theo. Thank you, Theo. I am Andrew. I'm here with Theo. And of course, with Ben. Hi. And we're here to talk about episode 66. That takes me back to the grand year of 1966. And we all know what happened in 1966, don't we? Wait, before you say it, can Theo and I try and guess? Sure. You go first, Ben, because I think I think I th 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'm th. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm th. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I th. I th. I'm, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I'm th can Theo and I try and guess? Sure. You go first Ben because I think I have a more educated guess. Well that's not because I'm now literally I'm just checking to see if you

could mutter your audio at any place so that you can start typing silently. No no no no I know what he's on about. I'm gonna pretend that I don't for a little bit and then come back in with the real answer. 1966, three years before Woodstock. Uh, The toaster was invented. Oh, that's... Was it? Could be.

Was it or is that a guess? That was absolutely a guess and I think, now thinking about it, the toaster was invented in the 30s or 40s. But let's find out. You go, Theo. Until the 1966 when we first grilled bread. I think toast was invented. We finally worked it out. Just the electric toaster.

It was, of course, the last time Andrew had sex. Oh, hey, oh, wow. This dusty old penis. All right. For the record, the toaster invented in 1893. Pretty close. You were close. Pretty well spot on, yeah. You were close.

For reference, it was when we switched from pounds to whatever it is we have now. I believe it's probably the metric system. Oh, is that a callback from the last episode? I cop some grief about that one, didn't I? I didn't listen to the metric system. Oh is that a callback from the last episode? I copped some grief about that one didn't that? Yeah I didn't listen to the last episode because I don't listen to the podcast but I have listened to the grief. You were on the last episode. I don't think I was. I came in afterwards. I came in afterwards because I stumbled drunk through my front door. No, you stumbled in drunkenly through the podcast door, yeah.

Yep. Just like the door slamming, everything's dark except that my silhouette against like lightning crashing behind me. Daddy's home. Well guys... I'm really picking up the microphone. I'll tell you, um, I'll tell you what 1966 makes me think of 1966. When I think of 1966, I'm transported to to to to to transedarke to to to to to to I'll tell you what 1966 makes me think of. When I think of 1966, I'm transported to 12 months later in 1967 when the Beatles released Strawberry Fields Forever. So your reference that you're pulling out for 1966. Is it just one year from 1967? Is that it's basically adjacent to, um, to strawberry fields forever.

We've had a bit of strawberry news, haven't we? You know what a roller coaster this podcast? It makes me think of the year 1966 and then 50 years later in the year 2016. Yeah. What happened then? Oh, fuck I can't even think of anything that happened in 2016. Well see, at least I've got to... Yeah, that's when 9-11 happened. At least I've got a connection to make, pal.

That's right, folks. Australia is in the grip of, um, Strawberry Needle, hysteria. Yeah, all right. Yeah, all right. We'll talk about this after but... It's not a thi-o's phrase. So what's been going on with all the all the death? Fruit vellers. This is just, from me, from my personal perspective, put this...

Oh, fuck, I've had a few beers. So I've had to write news stories about the strawberry things a couple of times. The thing with writing headlines is that you have like a relatively small amount of characters that you can describe it in. This phenomenon is really hard to describe concisely, right? Because if you say strawberry contamination, it doesn't imply the sort of the willful, you know, the willful element of it, right, that it's being done intentionally. If you say strawberry sabotage, that sounds like you're trying to be joky about it. It's a bit funny. But if you just say... What about tampering? It's illiterative. I feel like, I feel like tampering is pretty good. Tampering has like an association in my head with there being some mechanical element to it. Although I guess it does apply. I don't, it's just really hard to describe.

So every time I end up like sort of dumb fuck wise just being like the needles in strawberries problem that we've got at the moment, it's pretty bad. So seeing as you have written about it, would you like to kind of try to sum up what the deal is. Well, it's all very confusing. So there were a bunch of original, the original thing was that there were strawberries found in Queensland, I believe, Queensland and Western Australia,

that had sewing needles in them, that originally was believed to be from a disgruntled employee. And by sewing needles we mean the little metal pins, not the... They're not like, they don't arrive in the box with a huge, like knitting needle poked. Are you thinking of knitting needles? By selling needles, I mean selling needles, not knitting thus. Oh, okay, sorry, that's where I was getting confused. Yeah. Not talking about like strawberry kebabs. That's a good- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- th- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- thi- thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, we thin, we thin, we thin, we thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thinnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, that's where I was getting confused. I can see how you're confused, yeah. Not talking about like strawberry kebabs.

That's a good idea though. It's not terrible. The police have said now that they don't think that that's what it is. They don't think it was a disgruntled employee. That means we don't know what it is. And there's been something like a hundred reported cases, over a hundred is what they've said, reported cases of strawberries being found in fruit. They believe that a lot of...

Yes, the strawberries are often found in fruit, yes. Oh, fuck. Selling the heels found in fruit. And which has included now apples and bananas as well. But like from all over the place, right? From all over. So, the New South Wales government, well New South Wales police have come out and said that they think all of the cases that have happened in New South Wales

have been pranksters and copycats, so not related to the original incidents, which I think is what the consensus for a lot of the things that have cropped up have been so far. So part of the weird, crazy new legislation that they're adding for punishing people for putting sewing needles in fruit. Very specific legislation. I don't even know if it's specifically for strawberries or for any food. I haven't looked into it. Is that also pretending to have found them is also a crime that they're harshening the sentence for. Jesus Christ. It's always cool to know in these sorts of situations that like just sprinkled out among society are tons of psychopaths who see a news story about like you know needles and pins being concealed in fruit and sold in public and they go great idea great idea why didn't I think of that I'm going out to get

some some little needles immediately better go put them in some fruit. It's, it's, it's extremely strange the whole copycat thing. It is fucking baffling. Like, bonkers. So the night that this happened, I was working, and I had, there are like two people in the entire company that are below me. And I had another person working with me was, and one of them was like, oh, I don't know if this story's really worth picking up. And I was like, ugh. Yeah, I don't know, it's not really anything, but we may as well just do it, a weird thing about the supermarkets

having to recall strawberries or whatever. And then this is going to be huge. I was just like, oh, I don't know, it's kind of weird. And also, like, the recall stuff is, I don't know, it's kind of maybe something you should do so that people know if they've got, you know, something fucked going on. But I just saw that and thought, this has completely turned the entire country insane. To the point that, like, the Queensland government has put aside a million dollars to

give to, which honestly, between the entire industry is not that much considering it's like a hundred million dollar industry in Queensland or something. But they've put aside a million dollars to help the farmers with this because the impact has been that, like, people just don't, the the the the the the the, the the, the, the, the, the, like, like, like, like, the, like, like, like, the, the, like, the, like, the, like, the, like, the, like, the, like, like, like, the, the, like, like, like, the, the, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the aside a million dollars to help the farmers with this because the impact has been that like people just don't fucking want to buy strawberries now because no one is like fanging for strawberries. People see strawberries and they're like oh I may as well get some but if you've got even a slight inkling in your brain like oh I don't know might be a sewing needle in there.

You're gonna fucking- These might have a sharp metal object in them. That's like enough, because you're never like, you're always on the borderline. And having even a vague association with something like that happening, you're just gonna be like, oh, no, I don't think so. I reckon once they measure the impact this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this is this is this is this is this is the year, it is probably going to be catastrophic. Oh yeah. And it only takes one weird thing like this, doesn't it? I mean certainly from that, like it just baffles me the whole kind of, the whole, I don't know, whether it's like a sort of weird collective hysteria of people going,

yes, I too should go out and stick some of these in some fruit and then they will get found and people will be like, oh my god, they're everywhere. Or, yeah, is it just, is it just, is it just like the whole social proof thing, where people just need to see a thing happen to go, yeah, if I want to do that, it's okay now. Like, because, you know, you can find tons of studies about just that whole weird thing, whereas the moment that people see a particular kind of like shitty behavior exhibited in front of them in public by somebody, they go, cool, I can do it too. And humans are very weird like that. That's not why you'd want to.

No, but I don't know. This whole thing is I'm genuinely so curious to find out what the fuck this is because the straw the needles have been found in something like five different brands. Or they were saying five brands like a couple days ago than I saw something yesterday to effect that was maybe three brands of strawberries. But like this is crazy. Like how does this, I don't know, it's utterly baffling. They've made one arrest so far. New South Wales police made the first arrest at the start of the week. For someone they described as a young boy, they described him as a prankster.

So this is not... Love's... loves Japs? Yeah, loves... Just pulling out a jape or two. So this isn't for the OG crime. This is someone that, you know, copied it afterwards or whatever, but I just can't... I said, look, this might just be me. And I don't know if this is just an old school,

somewhat conservative belief. Don't fucking put sharp shit in fruit. People eat that. Like, fucking kids have been hospitalized because they fucking bit into them. Like, if you're trying to express your anger through crimes, don't do ones that are going to fucking put sewing needles into the roof of children's mouths. Of all the things. Of all the things. Yeah, the whole thing is extremely weird to me.

It's like whenever there's, you know, a crazy murder or a serial killer or something like that, and they say, let's open up a hotline and people can tell us if they know anything about it. And like hundreds or thousands of people contact them and say, yes, I have information about this case and they just have to sift through, like hundreds of people who have fucking nothing to do with it. And just always makes me go, what would possess you? What would possess you to stick needles in a strawberry because you had seen that other people were doing it or to like, you know, contact an FBI hotline and say, hey, I have information about the case and they

said, I have information about the case and they said, hey to them and they said hey this is all bogus maybe you're trying to hide something when you be worried about getting stitched up for it if or someone up I think oh oh sorry what was that what was that hmmm what was that hmmm so that's good to test back in with the all tests it just to test it. I just missed what you No, you didn't what did you correct? No, all right. No, it is very weird Andrew I think as he was saying. Oh, you're just moving on from my question. Okay. Yep. Yep, and since we're talking about retro stuff like the Beatles the strawberry fields, you know, the strawberry fields, you know, you know, that's the you, you, you you you you you you you you you, you you you, you you you, you you, the the th, th, th, th, th, thi thi thi thi thi thi thin thin, thin th're talking about retro stuff, retro stuff like the Beatles, the strawberry fields, you know, we could talk about some other, some other crazy retro stuff

that we all love like, um, Blackface. Blackface. It's back, baby. How Australia can't stop doing black face. Yeah. I, have you guys noticed that like,that like that's like the joke now among online people about like you know resetting the counter for days since Australia's last Blackface incident has just become completely ubiquitous.

Oh yeah. I just saw like 150 people make that same joke about this thing. You know we've we've spoken about this before at length like like like the lengththat same joke about this thing. You know, we've spoken about this before at length, like when in a previous episode, we had a friend of the show Victor Rodriguez on from a bloody elbow and other things. And yeah, we sort of, we talked to him about just why Australians can't stop doing it? Why they can't stop doing it. And of course... I also spare a thought for the guy that's actually resetting that counter because he's up and down that ladder all day. Like the guy from the four candles sketch. Just doesn't get a break.

I don't know what the four candle sketch is. Moving on, this time, so this time it was a Tasmanian football club and they were doing their Mad Monday celebrations. Can, look, I don't know if this outs me as some sort of... Massive nerd. Beautiful. Spotspoke queer. me as some sort of massive nerds sports focus queer yeah yeah what the fuck is a mad Monday it's no I'm with you what what it right to the most sporty the most sporty person on the podcast well look once once once again about all that well no once once once once again what what what it what it what it. that's that the tou to the tou to the tou to the tou to the tou to to tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttou to out out out out out out out out out out out out out out to to to out to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the 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 ttou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou tou to to to to the most sporty person on the podcast.

Well, look, once again... I don't know about all that. Well, no, once again we have come unstuck by the fact that we have the three people on the podcast who were all raised in states that don't really give AFL much of a go. The good states. Yep. Or territories, if you will. So yeah, I grew up in camera, which does not or did not have an AFL team. What does Brisbane have? The Lions? Yeah, not a team.

Yeah, not a team. But generally speaking, it's a... It's more of a Victoria thing. All the AFL stuff. My vague understanding of it is that the Man Monday is basically..., it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the that's basically, it's basically, it's basically, it's basically, it's basically, it's basically, it's basically, it's basically, it's basically, it's basically, it's basically, it's basically, it's of a Victoria thing, all the AFL stuff. My vague understanding of it is that Mad Monday is basically, it's basically muck-up day for a footy team, except also you get hammered and arrested and stuff like that. It's a weird one because obviously it's very persistent. Is this every Monday?

Every Monday. Every Monday. The person who invented the AFL was also an avid reader of Garfield. And they said, uh-uh, not my sport. We are not going to hate Mondays. We need it. If I remember this correctly, Garfield loves Mondays and he hates lasagna. Got it. Spot on. Okay, spot on. Yeah, and you would think after the number of incidents that had occurred, that like maybe you would

stop doing this? I don't know. Like not not the Blackface specifically, but just the like club sanctioned, you know, go and get ratchet for a all weekend or whatever. You want to ban muck-up day? Just because the grade 12s put cellophane over the toilets? And that's a really bad diarrhea. Yeah, that's right. Hey, Wikipedia tells us that mad Monday is a term commonly used in Australia to refer to the traditional end of season celebration for professional players of various codes of football.

Well, yeah, see, I think I might have outed myself as not a great league fan because the Mad Monday scandal from a couple of weeks ago was for the Bulldogs, the NRL kind, right? Yeah, yes, they're both getting into it. Football matches are typically paid on weekends, so as the season nears its end with teams being eliminated by Sunday night, all results have been determined and teams will then know if they are to continue in the finals or if their season is over. With the season finished, mad Monday celebrations ensue,

often involving heavy drinking. Over the catalyst for image damaging incidents for professional footballers. Like this one in question. So the incident with the guy that in his inexplicably posted a photo of him part pissing in his own mouth. Was that a Monday or did that happen on one of the other six days a week? I thought that might have been a weekend. What about the guy that mimed fucking a dog? Was that on a Monday or was that... was that a weekend? Uh? Uh? Uh a weekend? Uh a weekend? Uh a weekend a weekend a weekend a weekend a weekend a weekend a weekend a weekend a weekend a weekend a weekend? I the weekend? I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the other the other one one one one one one the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the other the the the the the the the incident? Uh? Uh? Uh? Uh? I the incident? I the incident? I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th. th. I th. I th. I thi one one one one thi. the. the. thi. the. thi. the. the. the. the. the. the. the th guy that mimed fucking a dog? Was that on a Monday or was that a weekend? Probably all Mondays, I'm going to say. I just, I don't know if I've mentioned this on the podcast before, but I only recently found out that I went to primary school with the guy that mimed fucking a dog. He was in the grade above me. Nice. I went to what we in the grade above me. Nice. I went to I went to what we in the Australian Capital Territory call College which is years 11 and 12 and I went that doesn't

sound right. Sure it doesn't. It's weird. But I was in the same class as a guy who so I went to a school that like had a thing called the Talented Sports Program and it was a school. Sounds so condescending. Very good at sports. But it was basically like a feeder system for NRL teams, you know, stuff like that. And this guy in my team,, in my class, was a footy player, was a league player, and wound up being in the Raiders.

And of course he was then arrested for like public indecency and urination and spitting on cops and stuff in Kings Cross like three years later. I said of course, of course you were. So this incident we're talking about is a Tasmanian Football Club and their three players did blackface. Now I just want to I just want to say when we say blackface we're talking head-to-to-to-toe every inch of them. All of them you can see, each of them you can see like their arms, their legs, their head to necks and it is just absolutely every square inch of them. And now for keen-eared observers of

this show and Australia's race problems. We had the whole thing last week with Mark Knight and his and his great cartoon. It's great Serena Williams cartoon. So these guys thought it would be a great idea to Don Head toe Blackface as the William Sisters. And the third guy was dressed up as Kenyon-born Sydney Swans AFL player, Alia, Alia. Which is great. Do you think they pulled it off though? No.

Okay. No. It's always like the... It's almost like the strawberry thing though. Like, that's another thing in like the Australian psyche that like as soon as something racist happens, we all have to immediately jump on the copycat wagon and be like, oh, no, you know what, I'm going to be just a little bit more racist than that.

Well, so, so in this, oh my God, just from this thing on ABC News, one of the players used the image as his profile on Facebook before deleting it on Wednesday morning. My goodness. So my weird take on this was that like, it was so immediately and roundly condemned when this came into the news, that I couldn't help and interpret this as giving a whole bunch of right-wing figures a really easy get. Like all the people who spent all week saying that the Serena Williams cartoon definitely wasn't racist all got to say, oh this one's definitely racist.

They all got like a really easy slam dunk to finally call a thing racist and admit the racism exists, you know? Like Joe Hildebrand called this one super racist. It's sort of like a, um, uh, fuck. What do you, Theo, what do you call the, the solenoid for their racism? They put it, they have to show that they have some of it, so they direct it, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, 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, 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, thin, thi, thin, thi, thin, thi, thin, thi, thia, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, do you call the solenoid for their racism? They have to show that they have some of it, so they direct it towards that thing, but the rest of culture stays untouched. Does that work? Does that scan?

I might need a diagram. We can talk this through afterwards. So we'll put it in the show notes, along with our full working, I think, at the end. Yeah. Oh, in case you guys were worried, I got some great news from this article, it does say that the football club put out a statement, said that the incident did not happen on club premises, and it was completely unacceptable behavior, and get this, we can can all breathe a sigh of relief it said their actions were not intended to be racist so here here was me jumping to conclusions looking at it and

thinking hang on I know this is a bit early can I issue a correction to the thing I just said or no the thing I just said oh great No, the thing I just said. Oh great, okay. When I said solenoid, I meant sacrificial anode. I hope that makes what I said more clear. Yeah, that makes way more sense to be honest. Yeah, okay. Carry on Andrew. I'm sure that makes plenty of sense to some people. I am not one of them. Um, so yes, it was not their intention, this is a quote from the statement, it was not their intention to upset anyone and all they meant to do was dress as one of their sporting idols. Fuck.

Oh, my Jesus. Not a chance in hell. Not even a little percentage chance. Could that be true? You look at the photo of them, they're all grinning like naughty schoolboys. Like, they're meant to dress up as one of their sporting items. Their actions were never intended to be racist in any way. Those concerned will be reprimanded and will be given support to make sure they understand that their behavior was racist and hurtful. My goodness, love to, uh, love to paint 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 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 their their their their their their their th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the the the their their their their their they understand that their behavior was racist and hurtful.

My goodness, love to paint myself black from head to toe the whole time thinking. What a nice tribute this is to my hero. Fucking hell. We're doing, we're doing great, we're doing great with race in this country. It's a good country. Yep. Remember several episodes ago, I don't want to say how many. I want to say it was maybe episode 61, a day at the racists, where we talked about Fraser Annings, made in speech to the Senate, where he talked about, among other things, desiring a final solution to the Senate where he talked about among other things desiring a final solution to the immigration problem, talked about you know the supremacy of

white Christian blood, all that kind of stuff, bloodlines, really rousing speech. And we also talked about Bob Catter's bat-shit insane defense of him, which included him saying, Ah, he hasn't read any books. He doesn't know what he's saying. He doesn't know what words are. He's never read a book before in his life. Never, he's never read a book, he doesn't know history. He's just a senator. What do they need to know? Why would you want to, why would you want a senator to know anything? So in light of that, here's a post that Senator Fraser adding made to Twitter. Just yesterday. In critical theory, ethnic and religious minorities, radical feminists, sexual deviants,

third world immigrants and antisocial criminals could take the place of the proletariat to create a post-communist revolution, deconstructing traditional values and the white family. It is impressive, just how he has managed to cover just about everything hateful in one single sentence. Yeah. You do apparently got to hand it to Frazier Anning for being. You do not. You absolutely don't. Under no circumstances must you hand it to him. I mean, like, obviously this guy's a fruitcake, but he does kind of have a point.

Oh! You know, you sound like you're handing it to him. If we destroy the institution of the wide family, who's going to take photos where everyone has closed their eyes because of the flash and they're all wearing matching sweaters that don't fit them? Yeah. And that's an important cultural artifact that I think we need to maintain to maintain to maintain to maintain to maintain 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 ha.

Yeah. You know, and that's an important cultural artifact that I think we need to maintain. Yep.

If the white family is destroyed, who is going to teach me that when I see someone on the street that I know or don't know that I should stretch my face into a flat grimace that's some sort of sick simulation of a smile. Look if I knew how to make a different face when I pass someone in the street I would do it. But uh... I always feel so bad. Every time I see one of those tweets that's like, hey, white people be smiling at strangers

like this. And I feel really terrible because I'm like, I know I can feel my face doing it. Yep, just looking at the picture. I'm so aware of it. White people being almost hitting someone when they go around a corner and then saying, whoop. Nope. Hey, if we get rid of the white family, who's gonna pose for the front of the boxes of

Bogle? Hmm. Where, whether it's a family of four, they're all staring at Bogle and they're all throwing their arms up. They've all got the look in their eyes as of a serial killer who's just about to make their kill. Yeah, I mean, we can't have one group of white people do the same covers for all of them. Yahtzee?

No. It's got to be a different family. Scruble. Oop words. Scruble. Scrooble. Bergle. Pernic. Trouble.

Pictionary. Scroogeys. Scudiguries. Scudiguri. Scudiguri. We're just doing Swedish chef now. We're just doing Swedish chef. Scudig Guries.

Snurks. Manubly. Oh God. I love a little game of Manubly. Oh. Great stuff. Every arm has an um loud. Yeah.

Or it's either an um loud or the slashroat-loud. Yeah. Or it's either an um-loud or the slash through it. Yes, yes. Just a mix of them in a way that would infuriate anyone who could actually interpret those. Would you like to join me for a game of boulder-dush? Oh my goodness. I have, um, I have some good and bad news. Yeah. So despite what all science told us was going to happen, the city of Sydney is still on the map. The boo. So I'm not sure if we saw this.

We are at 9.20 p.m. 20 minutes after it was supposed to have been wiped off the face of the earth, which is the absolute dismay of nobody. But it still stands. It's still there. So it was predicted that at 9 p.m. This evening, a tsunami would hit around Sydney from Naurida Newcastle I believe was what I saw with the death toll of 400,000 and yeah it's now 920 and the city is still standing the insufferable inhabitants of Australia's most toilet city

are still doing their interminable posts on Twitter, and it appears that the flood borders have not arrived. Yeah, like, oh look at me, I work at a media company, I do an ounce of cocaine a week. Oh, look at me. I like wearing wide-brimmed floppy hats and wearing white linen trousers standing on ceilings drinking champagne. Sydney people love going to brunch. Anyone else notice that? Oh they do be doing that. They do be going to brunch a lot and taking photos of it. It was a my wife watched like an episode or two of, we were talking, we were talking about this on the show a while ago, um, shitty reality shows and we were trying to figure

out the name of, of this show where they like make over, they make over like ugly British people, like, shitty. Oh yeah. What was it called like, like, Bint robot? Zero to hot? Yeah,the bint robot. Yeah, you talk to the fuck I can't remember it again. Yep. What was the other one? Was it like a hundred percent hot or something? Yeah no it's a hundred percent hotter or something hundred percent hotter? Bint robot. So the thin robot so so the people, so the bird makeover. The people that are the judges on the show though, that are standing there going, honestly Love, you look like shit, are all wearing life.

No offense, yeah, but you look like a bird that's been hit by a lorry. Is that what they say? You look like the dumps straight out of the back of a Tesco's in it. And um... He fingered me, it was absolute rubbish. And like, and so the people, the people that are meant to look like super fucking awesome fashion plates telling these poor dips their shitts how fucking terrible they look are all just wearing like skinny jeans with like skinny blue jeans with rips all down the front of them from ankle to fucking thigh and like a long black loose t-shirt and I'm like they all just look like some cunt walking

around in Sydney that's it that was it their entire look was just I'm a Sydney dick and I was like it's not that impressive it's not that impressive as looks go. That was it. Their entire look was just, I'm a Sydney dick. And I was like, it's not that impressive. It's not that impressive as looks go. Maybe it's impressive in England. A bloody old England. Jolly old England. Theo enjoyed it on the last bonus episode when I started off the show, just doing a British accent and just tried to see how long I keep going for. It's about 45 seconds. It was over a minute thank you. Well over a minute. Anyway so Fraser running is a massive Nazi basically. Oh yeah yeah big seems to yeah before for all I mean like I you know I understand I get it when people say like oh you can't just call you can't just call everything a Nazi otherwise like you know

when the real Nazis turn up what are we going to call them but like this dude's a fucking Nazi for real this dude's like he's just a straight up super white supremacist final solution one mother fuck we uh we also have a friend of the show, One Nation's Pauline Hanson, or Pauline Hanson's One Nation's Pauline Hanson, I guess you should say. Certainly. If we're going to be accurate, and we should be.

Yep. And she moved a motion in the Senate today that it is, quote, OK to be accurate. And we should be. Yep, and she moved a motion in the Senate today that it is quote okay to be white. Now the notice of the motion which I will read out to you here word for word says Mr. President Mike if noticed that on the next day of sitting I shall move that the Senate acknowledge a the deplorable rise of anti-white racism and attacks on Western civilization, B, it is okay to be white, Senator Hanson. So I mean let's, is it okay to be white? Number one. No.

Oh. Oh. But cancelling a show. All right, we're done. Cancelling a show of extremely white voices. Um, like, it's pretty wild. Like, it's pretty wild. The Australia now has senators introducing motions that are literally white

supremacist slogans. Like that's, it's, it's, I don't know what else to say about it other than it is literally a slogan used by white supremacists. The whole reason she's introducing it is because Laura Luma, or fucking whoever it was that came over recently, was it the other one? Lauren Southern. Lauren Southern, I think. Lauren Southern came over here recently and was wearing a shirt around that says it's okay to be white.

In beautiful Brisbane, Queensland, she arrived in the most racist city in the country wearing a racist t-shirt hoping to stir up outrage. Instead, every single person in the airport dropped what they were doing. The pilots, the air traffic controllers, every single god-dame person. The children, people holding babies, they dropped what they were doing. They turned around door and they gave her a double barrel thumbs up. And just the biggest fucking grin. Cheers mate! Oh, bloody! Oh, hell! Oh, hell! Oh, hell! Oh, hell! Oh, hell! Oh, hell! Oh, hell! Oh, the the the the the the the the their! Oh, their! Oh, their! Oh, their! Oh, their! Oh, their, to! Oh, their, to! Oh, too! to! too! to! too! to! to! to! to! to, to, to, to, to, to, to! to! to! to! to! to! to! to! to! to! to! to! to! too! too! too! to! to! to! to! th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi! thi! the the the the thee. the the. the the the the the. the the the the. the the. the. the the. the. their. the. to the. the out to her and they gave her a double barrel thumbs up. Just the biggest fucking grin. Oh, cheers mate! Oh, bloody hell, you're not wrong!

Cheers, eh? Yeah, so that's pretty fucking while. I also like that she, that she manages to get deplorable into that first, first little clause there, the deplorable rise of anti-white racism, which also seems like it's pretty that it's that it's that it's that it's that it's that it's that it's that it's that it's pretty that it's pretty that it's pretty that it's pretty that it's pretty that it's pretty that it's pretty to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to beaughtylaintoday to beaughtylaughtylicedylicedylicedylicedylliolate to beauling to beauling to, to, to, to, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the deplorable rise of anti-white racism, which also seems like it's pretty linked to Mark Latham and his court doldrums. Oh have you guys seen how David Layin Home is up for his defamation case? Oh is he countersuing? Uh, Sarah Hanson Young,

claiming that she is defaming herself? Is that what I saw today? I think, no, I don't know if he's countersuing. I just think part of his defense is him saying, actually, what I said was fine and what she said was bad, and also she's making me sound bad with the stuff she's saying. Like he's saying, oh, she actually defamed me in the first place by calling me a misogynist

and all the shit. But yeah, it's good news that the barrister that he has retained for this, or sorry the barrister, the solicitor, I don't know there's a difference between them in Australia, just don't know what it is. The solicitor that he has retained for this is the solicitor that just got dumped by Mark Latham after having his entire defense thrown out of court by the judge for being fucking ludicrous. He's also the lawyer who, it was in the last couple of years, this guy like tried to, tried to get himself out of a speeding fine by signing a 200 year old law.

And it was this guy. Sounds good. So real gun. Real gun. Wouldn't you feel confident being like, ah, I want this guy to help me win against the SJWs and then see the like week-long thrashing his defense got in the media from the judge and everybody else in the country? And then go, yep, full steam ahead. Glad you're on the team. I think he's probably just thinking that like the judge failed to see the genius on the team. I think he's probably just thinking that like the judge failed to see the genius in the

defense but it's definitely going to work when he tries it. Because he's much smarter as well. You have to remember that David Leigh and home is a very, very smart man. Super genius. Yeah, he he probably uh... God who knows what he thinks is happening at this point. So, you know, there's all of these things that we've already discussed as far as racial stuff going really great. And of course, former senator, Clive Palmer, who is still like he's still making

weird billboards and shit and acting like he's going to do politics again. What's the deal with that? Have either of you guys seen any of those billboards? Oh yeah, yeah, they're fucking everywhere. They're all over Brisbane. It is super depressing. So they are, so it's a full yellow background with just him, two thumbs up, and the slogan I'm going to get it wrong. So anyone know specifically what the slogan is? Because all I'm going to do is say, make Australia great. Is that right? say, make Australia great.

Is that right? I thought that's what it was. It's definitely something along those lines. I think it's make Australia great, because it's almost make Australia great again. Because obviously he's trying to ride the tide of nationalism, reactionism that everyone else is happily riding alongside as well. It's just make Australia great yeah yeah I thought so.

But are we are we gonna lead into his spicy meme stash then is that where we're headed with this? Yep that's where we're going. Because he started with like I think like what two three years ago was it Andrew that he's like started posting on like, I think like what, two, three years ago was it Andrew that he's like started posting on like he hired some social media guy, right? They were like his, they were related to him right? Like they were like his kids or nephews or some shit? Sure and they were like irreverent posts that sort of semi-poked fun of him and everyone's like oh this is not not everybody but everyone's stupid was like oh this is you know pretty funny or they were like really memes yeah or they were

repurposing existing memes but like insert him into them absolutely all of the yeah yeah all the zeitgeists from like six months prior with just like Clive Palmer in there in there somewhere and it was. Yeah, yeah, all the zeitgeists from like six months prior, with just like Clive Palmer in there somewhere. And it was extremely dumb and obviously manipulative, but mostly harmless. And then. Now it has segued into just full on, flat out,

anti-Semitic 4chan meme type territory. 100%. Yeah, so, uh, so, so for example, that. flat-out anti-Semitic 4chan meme type territory. 100% yeah so so for example I posted at one o'clock in the morning great time for your interns to be posting weird racist chin on that the official Clive Palmer Facebook page as well as Palmer's meme page the Parmy Army posted the following meme. So it has photos of Mel Gibson on the phone and Taylor Swift on the phone with the quotes. They've been kicked out of 109 countries, Taylor.

How can that be a coincidence? Wow, Mel, you're so smart. So, uh, yeah, it's just flat-out Nazi territory. Clyde Palmer and all of this. Good question. No, nowhere involved in this meme other than it's on his page. I guess, but in this article from Junkie, my friend of the show Rob Stott, talking about this, he says, the they in the meme is a reference to Jewish people, obviously, and Gibson and Swift are ironic icons of the anti-Semitic alt-right because of their perceived right-wing

sympathies. It's unlikely that Palmer posted the meme himself, he appears to have a team of content creators working for him. The Parmy Army page carries Parma's official endorsement and links to his verified Facebook and Twitter profiles. The image remains on both pages. Zzz. Below the posts were a number of comments containing more anti-semitic memes and jokes including references to Hitler and the Holocaust. So for example we have a reply with a picture of Hitler that says, I was trying to help.

Another reply that says, wasn't it 359 times with a link to a post saying Jews kicked out of at least 359 countries? Oh yeah, and then we've got the full-on like gross, you know, the slowmo Jewish caricature meme thing. Of the caricature of the hook nose, Jew rubbing his hands together. The caption, imagine being so disgusting there have to be laws to try to stop normal people from hating you. So it's pretty fucked up.

Pretty fucked up. Yeah, and it just makes you wonder what's going on there. Because it's... The one I saw that really drew my attention was, um, so it's a guy where it's Bill Shorten and there's like a disembodied hand from the unions shoving money in his pocket while he walks up a stairway of a number of like caricatures stepping on their heads, beginning with race mix, gay marriage.

Now there's a, I have to zoom in, I haven't got my glasses on, but I'm pretty certain that is the trans symbol. Legalized drugs, trans rights, and then the sickle and hammer. Now, this was originally a, okay, so the genesis of this is a little unclear to me, because it's got Ben Garrison's name on it that's being attributed, but it's also got a big schlomo kind of horrible character as well.

Before this it was a Mike Surnovich cartoon. So in its original form it was posted by Mike Surnovich saying thank you to Ben Garrison for drawing it. It came across to to Ben Garrison for drawing it. It came across to me as though he had commissioned it? Yeah, the thing that strikes me is that is the horrible racist Jewish character that is not in Ben Garrison's style. So it really feels like a few things mashed together here. Well, all right, so the original cartoon is a Ben Garrison comic, which I believe Mike Surnovich commissioned him to do, which has Mike Surnovich step walking up this group of people

and they're all, they originally had different labels, so they were originally like, S.J.W.s, feminists and you know all the people who get mad at fucking Mike Surnovich for whatever. Mike Surnovich is holding a copy of or holding a book and it says book sales on it with like money coming out of it and Mike Surnovich is saying thanks you know lefties or whatever you make it so easy. now the the, the the, the the, the the, you know, the th. th. th. thin's the the the the thin' the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they's the the the the the the the th. the's thean's the's th. And you th, and you th, and you th, and you the th, and you the th, and you the th, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you th, and you th. And th. And th. And th. the's the's theat's thean they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's they's thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, thean, you know, they's thean, they's thean, thean, thean, thean, the Surnovich is saying, thanks, you know, lefties or whatever, you make it so easy. Now, the reason I assume that he commissioned this is because nobody gives a fuck about what Mike Surnovich is doing at any given point. The idea that Ben Garrison

would think that he was like relevant enough to draw a cartoon about, seems ridiculous to me. It was also originally posted from Mike Surnovich's Twitter account saying thanks. Gur, comics or whatever his fucking handle is. So it looks very much to me like he is he has commissioned a self-agrandizing cartoon and said put this in it. It has then been co-opted by like racist four channers who have put the you know gross slow-mo Jewish thing on there and relabeled those things to be like trans rights and all that sort of stuff obviously doing like a whole cultural Marxism bit.

And it is then, in a third permutation, been co-opted by people to put Bill Shorten on there. They've left all the labeling the same of like, you know, trans rights and gay rights and all those different things, except they've added that he's getting the money from... I don't even know how this is supposed to work. You're getting money from union sources to, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, like, like, uh, like, uh, uh, like, uh, uh, uh, uh, the, uh, uh, the, the, uh, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, th, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-a, thi-a' thi-a, even know how this is supposed to work, you're getting money from union sources to like prosecute the cultural Marxist agenda to destroy the country for a reason? I don't really get it, but the point is that, yeah, it's gone through these, these several variations to get to this point is that, yeah, it's gone through these several variations to get to this point of being posted on Clive Palmer's page, this thing that is really clearly a pretty horribly, horribly anti-Semitic meme. And like, I'm sure that we've talked about this before on the show, but, like, anti-Semitism is already

as weird to me as any other kind of naked bigotry. More often than not, I think the people who are really noisy about their bigotry, the louder they are about it, the less interaction they actually have with that kind of person in their real life. Like the Bendigo Mosque Protesters, you know? Oh, is your day-to-day life in Bendigo being horribly disrupted by Muslims? And that's why a lot of this stuff is really weird to me, because like, you know, while I already find it weird and gross, I find it even weirder in Australia,

where I'm sure that our Jewish population is like even smaller than it would be in the states, and I'm sure that like the number of people who would have interactions with Jewish, like, Jewish people, let alone people they could actually identify as Jewish, would be so small. Like, how many times do you guys think you've ever run into someone that you've been able to tell by looking at them while speaking to them was an Orthodox Jew in Australia? I mean, Orthodox Jews are relatively easy to spot. Well, that's my point is that that's one of the one of the only ways that you would even be able to tell.

Well, I think the summer that I grew up in in Sydney was had a massive, massive population of South African Jews for some reason. All the kids at my school went to Hebrew school after after regular school except old me. So you basically picked the worst person to ask Andrew. Yeah apparently. Also George is Jewish. Really? Yeah I mean she's not practicing but she's Jewish. Yeah yeah. My point being though. My point being though very often is the answer to question. Yeah my point remains the same. My point remains the same. My point to say the same. Yeah, the the to. to. to. to to to to the to the to the to the the the to the to the the the the to the the the the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school school. to to to to to to to to to the point being though, very often is the answer the question. My point remains the same though, which is, do you think that any random person who like

met George and talk to her would come away from it going, man, what a Jew. Oh, she's the worst being in the world. Like, yeah, she has no idea about it anything at all. No, she doesn't even know. I just don't understand who these fucking people are in Australia, who are like, yeah, we should all hate the Jews. It's like, where the fuck you getting this from? Yeah, it's, it's so weird. Yeah, but, but like, it's, just edge-lawdism, isn't it? It's where we are though politically though we spend so much time speaking about stuff that's just

totally ethereal to like our actual lives like we're not talking about like Clive Farm is not talking about making making people's lives better or like, you know raising the funding of hospitals by X amount or you know or what have you. It's just like this attempt to tap into some universal flow of hatred that apparently wins votes because it's something like we're so petty and and like small minded in Australia that we just have no connection with the real issues. Like we never talk about it. All we do is we talk about like why it should be okay to draw super racist cartoons. And just stuff that's just not going to affect us materially in any way. It's so, but I don't know whether it's actually going to disqual materially in any way.

But I don't know whether it's actually going to disqualify Clive Palmer from actually doing anything. Nothing seems to like actually stop him from continuing to be on billboards or whatever as long as he's got money. Like it doesn't sift anybody out from this process. Yeah, as long as he's still a billionaire who has never been forced to give any of his money. Like it doesn't sift anybody out from this process. Yeah, as long as he's still a billionaire who has never been forced to give any of his money back to any of those people that he's fucking ripped off over the years. Yeah, but it's the same with Pauline Hanson, right? They're not talking about, you know,

about actual material changes. It's just all purely reactionary against stuff that doesn't matter. And it wins votes like people go nuts for it in certain electorates and I don't know it's probably probably going to get worse. Yeah all in Queensland guys. Yeah it's very depressing. Sorry about that. Yeah, I am sorry for voting for Polly Nansen. Twice. Blah. Yeah.

Yeah. You guys got any solutions, or what? Indiscriminately, kill all the racists. Hmm. Hmm. Okay. I mean, somewhat discriminately. I mean, literally you have to single people out to do that.

So discriminately kill all the racists. Right. Right. What about you, Theo? Any answers? Oh, I don't really want to make a Holocaust joke or anything so... Don't! I won't.

That is my solid recommendation. Absolutely. Anytime you could avoid it. I... No, I have no solutions. Welcome to Bonifesta, political comedy podcast. Yeah. Specifically anti-Holocos.

Yeah. Specifically anti-Holocos. Let's just, um,

I can't believe that we have to say this now. We are at anti-Holocost. But there is another Australian podcast of the same name that is pro-Holocost. And... We are not affiliated. We are not that one. Yeah, you always have to listen until 40 minutes in to figure out which one you're listening to when they actually say. Because we do report them both. I mean, we are on both. You are just listening to an episode of the anti-Holocust one. Hmm. Ah, ah.

Very depressing. Very depressing, folks. It's enough to make you feel a little bit low. But hey, if you're to make you feel a little bit low. But hey, don't do it. But hey, if you're thinking about getting high, who gets higher than people who repair the roofs of cathedrals? That... well pilots for one. Anyway, people that do them like... People that do them like... earth orbit skydiving, those guys?

Men with weird mustaches who operate hot air balloon tours. Me, the day that I make a new batch of brownies and don't measure how strong they are. Yep. I'm probably geographically higher than a lot of people that are repairing roofs, I'd say now. Ah, Sherpers. Shurpers. All those dead people who are frozen to the side of Everest. Just don't look at them.

I think that's what they tell you before you climb Everest. Don't look at the bodies. See those lumps? See those lumps? Don't worry about it. Those people shaped ice lumps? You are going to be tempted by the dead bodies. They will scream at you in a hellish voice to come lie down next to them. Just keep walking. Um, now speaking of... Um, high voltage line repair, man... I don't think that's true. I feel like most power lines would be lower than the roof of a cathedral. No, no, the high voltage ones though, they're very tall. Oh, I guess if you're talking like the ones that are for between urban centers, the... Yeah, I have voltage runs, yes.

Now, Andrew, you're saying something about cathedrals, if I record correctly. I was. Here's a little story that I thought would interest you, Ben. Oh, I suppose we... I'll just sit out for a bit. Thank you very much. I could have done a much more depressing segue to this, because I'm talking about Germany in 1930. Uh, all right. On March 26, 1930, four roofers in this small West German town inscribed a message to the future. Difficult times of war lie behind us, they wrote. After describing the soaring inflation and unemployment that followed the first world war,

they concluded, we hope for better time soon to come. The roofers rolled the message into a clear glass bottle and hit it in the roof of the town's 12th century cathedral. Then they patched the roof's only opening back up. 88 years later, while doing maintenance work, 52-year-old roofer Peter Brandt happened upon the bottle. He recognized the letterhead of the receipt receipt receipt receipt receipt receipt receipt receipt receipt receipt receipt receipt receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the receipt the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the He recognized the letterhead of the receipt paper on which the note was written as well as the name of one of the signatories. Willie Brandt, a shy 18-year-old roofing apprentice at the time of the note's creation was his grandfather. Oh! Pretty wild, right? That's nuts!

Finding a message in a bottle in a cathedral roof that your own grandfather put there 88 years ago. And that roof his name was Adolf Hitler. Come on, man. Come on. It was an exciting find, Peter Brandt said, given the improbability of discovering the bottle in the same roof his grandfather repaired almost a century earlier. The letter Brant said is from a much darker chapter of Germany's past. Tell me more. I haven't heard anything about this. But its discovery offered an opportunity to reflect on the relative peace and prosperity of the present even if the day's headlines paint a dire picture. He has memorized one of the messages lines in

particular.

That's not what a pound is. It's absolutely what a pound is. What do you call a pound?

600? No. 2.2. I'm going to go, I, no, yeah, there's 2.2 kilos is a pound. 2.2 pounds to a kilo. It's about 400 and... It's 453 grams. I'm sorry that I was off by 47 grams. It's not 500. I think it's close. I would have said 500. I'm with you. Sick of the the th. It. It. It's 45. It's 45. It's 45. It's 45. It's 45. It's 45. I'm th. It's 45. It's 45. I'm th. It's 45. I'm th. It's th.

Jesus, fucking Christ. I just try and say things on this podcast. I feel like what I do, someone swoops in with something unnecessarily pedantic and then takes it off on a completely different direction. I don't know about what happens Ben? Is that what happens? I want to know how big the one bread was. the the the the one the the the the the the the th. the th. th. th. th. I th. I th. th. I th. I th. I th.

Well yeah, because if yours had got roughly 500 grams of butter, that's how much you're buttering your bread?

That's like a one-to-one bread-to-butter ratio. Well, because normally a tub of butter is what, 250 grams, right? Yeah, yeah, about two-thirds of a pound. And generally, I find a tub of butter is going to last me for quite a few loads of bread. Definitely more than one bread. I mean, am I being a fool here? Is there something else they're doing with the butter that I don't understand? Well, they're being a full. You are being a full because butter can be used for more than one thing. What if they're tossing a little butter in a skillet before they fry something up?

You know? Yeah, but they're not getting anything else. All they've got is the bread and the butter. What if they're putting a little butter onto their peas, on to their peasing 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 the 30s. What if they're greasing what if they're greasing each other's hurt 18 year old arsoles with this butter before diving in balls deep for an ecstatic and erotic experience up there in the rafters of a house of God? That was a shockingly eloquent for what it was that you were saying. He just described the plot to last Tango in Paris apart from... That was shockingly eloquent for what it was that you were saying.

You just described the plot to last Tango in Paris apart from the German connection. Huh. You know, a lot of uses for butter that's all I'm saying. I don't think that they had like, um, you know, water-based lube back then. Yeah, I don't know what they didthat they had like um you know water-based lobe back then yeah I don't know what they did back then because people were definitely having gay sex I mean for thousands of years I guess you just sort of used to what's at hand I guess gee gee certainly yeah yeah gait'd do it I do it I uh I broke one of my

seal blubber? Yeah. Iguana saliva. I broke one of my cardinal rules about not fighting with idiots on the internet? Molasses? No. I don't even know what. I've never touched molasses.

If you'd touched molasses, you would know that you should not put that onto anybody's hole before trying to fuck it Certainly it's kind of the opposite of a lubricant Very much. Oh, yeah like almost more of a coagulant kind of deal at that point Yeah, no molasses for me. Thank you An adhesive that was the word that I was thinking of that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thinin. That's the the thii. That's the the the the the the thi. the thi. the the the the thi. thi. the the the thi. thi. that's thi. 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 the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. the the the thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. Ia. I's not. the. the. the. that's not. that's the. that's, thank you. An adhesive, that was the word that I was thinking of. That's the opposite of a lubricant. Yeah, but molasses is really an adhesive, is it? It's sticky. It's sticky.

I think you could use molasses as an adhesive. I reckon you could relatively solidly mount a poster with molasses. Well, I'm going to let you try that out. And let me know. Okay. Get back to me about it. So there's your thoughts for the week on what you can and can't use to fucking 18-year-old roofing apprentice in the rafters of a chapel.

Don't really know where else to go from here, so we should probably wrap the show up. Also, now you don't have a segue. You can't say from that. I mean, it's fine. I mean, it's more impressed that you've done this well until now, but... Well, thank you. Well, also, it's just the end of the show.

We are still maintaining our perfect five-star rating. We haven't had any new reviews in a while.

I thought we had a one-star review. Oh no, what I mean is our perfect five-star average. It's gone back up to five stars. I don't know how you can have an average of five-stars if they're... Okay. I do not ask how why. All I know is that if we go to the store, it says five stars. It went down for a bit. We've got a couple of one-star reviews from people who said that we were both two left-wing and not left-wing enough. But they've been troubled out.
