                                         to live my life, and it hasn't.
                                         
                                         Imagine having a pet and a kid on top of this.
                                         
                                         I don't know how people manage.

                                         And you can see why in countries
                                         
                                         where the renting system isn't a Victorianorian war crime that people prefer to rent a victorian war crime is yeah people are leaving

                                         germany where the majority of the population rent and it's because you know they've got some german corporate landlord
                                         
                                         whose entire profit margins are so thin that they have to help manage and have a plumber on 24-hour
                                         
    
                                         call for like a thousand flats at once so it's like you can't just be like some fucking guy

                                         it lowers the it's not worthwhile to do it as a private individual it's very unusual apparently
                                         
                                         yeah if you're just renting out something people like oh really all that red tape and fees and

                                         Whereas London is like the fucking Wild West.
                                         
                                         You want a room?

                                         And just like a wooden cabin or something.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's weird.
                                         
                                         Some elements of British society and the economy
                                         
                                         are still very buccaneering,
                                         
                                         like far less regulated than you'd expect from Britain,
                                         
                                         the home of rules. Well, the home of rules.
                                         
                                         Well, the home of rules following, but also the home of sort of fudging things.
                                         
    
                                         That's true.
                                         
                                         That's true.
                                         
                                         The home of fudge.
                                         
                                         The home of fudge.
                                         
                                         Much less tasty than it sounds.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         I realized, by the way, why every now and then growing up in the British Isles, I would go,
                                         
                                         I mean, I like fudge, don't I?
                                         
    
                                         I think I do.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Every time I have a piece of fudge, I'm like, oh, my God, why don't I eat fudge every day all the time?
                                         
                                         And then I have a second bite and I'm like, oh, it's a bit much.
                                         
                                         Well, see, I had a different thing because, well, it's similar different similar but different where i would go but i swear i like fudge i swear i think
                                         
                                         it's good and then someone would be like oh do you want some fudge there's a fudge or there's like a
                                         
                                         a gift shop there's fudge in the gift shop and i would buy that eat it and go oh this isn't fudge
                                         
                                         and everyone would be like well yes it is look it's labeled. I was being gaslit by Big Fudge.
                                         
    
                                         A great bassist.
                                         
                                         Technically, it can't officially be called fudge
                                         
                                         unless it comes from someone who has really cut corners
                                         
                                         and made compromises in the processing.
                                         
                                         Is that where the name is from?
                                         
                                         It's supposed to be a cake, but they fudged it?
                                         
                                         That's it, that's it, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         I realized, Phil, in South Africa,
                                         
    
                                         what we thought of as fudge,
                                         
                                         or certainly me and a couple of other South Africans
                                         
                                         who I've talked to about this,
                                         
                                         it's tablet.
                                         
                                         Right, right.
                                         
                                         Scottish treats.
                                         
                                         Ah, I see.
                                         
                                         So they have to be called tablets in Scotland.
                                         
    
                                         Well, it's a different thing to fudge,
                                         
                                         but we knew it as fudge.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So every now and then,
                                         
                                         I only figured this out this year,
                                         
                                         and then it made sense of the fact that years ago
                                         
                                         in Edinburgh during the Fringe,
                                         
                                         I ate some tablets,
                                         
    
                                         and I was like, finally, some real fudge,
                                         
                                         and everyone thought I was a fucking idiot.
                                         
                                         So what you like,
                                         
                                         what you actually like is tablet. Yeah, it turns
                                         
                                         out. Mystery solved.
                                         
                                         But for ages as a kid I was like,
                                         
                                         but I like fudge, but why do I hate
                                         
                                         this so much?
                                         
    
                                         It's quite a good name for a metal band
                                         
                                         don't you think? Tablet.

                                         country but but most astonishingly in Shanghai, because people there are rich
                                         
                                         and there are a lot of police.
                                         
    
                                         It's the richest city in China
                                         
                                         and
                                         
                                         a business hub, of course.
                                         
                                         And what's interesting about the protests is that
                                         
                                         it's not...
                                         
                                         It's working class, middle class, rich
                                         
                                         all strata
                                         
                                         of society really
                                         
    
                                         because they've all been unified
                                         
                                         by these same rules
                                         
                                         because they've still got like full
                                         
                                         absolutely massive lockdowns don't they
                                         
                                         yeah yeah yeah
                                         
                                         three years on
                                         
                                         they're still like a full lockdown
                                         
                                         and it was started by
                                         
    
                                         the protests were kicked off by
                                         
                                         a fire in a block of apartments
                                         
                                         in the Xinjiang city of Urumqi.
                                         
                                         And because of lockdown quarantine measures, people couldn't get out while the building was on fire.
                                         
                                         And 10 people died.
                                         
                                         And they were trapped by COVID restrictions.
                                         
                                         I think I've read that people welded in, like their doors were welded
                                         
                                         shut, it's
                                         
    
                                         fucking crackers
                                         
                                         if the Chinese were going to do something like that to people
                                         
                                         it would be somewhere like Urumqi where they're busy doing
                                         
                                         the genocide anyway, so it's probably
                                         
                                         in for a penny for them
                                         
                                         yeah, but I don't think
                                         
                                         the people were Uyghur
                                         
                                         there's of course a big
                                         
    
                                         Han Chinese population
                                         
                                         in Xinjiang as well.
                                         
                                         There certainly is now, Philip.
                                         
                                         Yeah, well, exactly.
                                         
                                         But it's
                                         
                                         quite extraordinary. This is once in a generation
                                         
                                         stuff. This is... Do you think?
                                         
                                         The scale of the protests. Oh, for sure.
                                         
    
                                         There hasn't been protests
                                         
                                         like this since Tiananmen Square.
                                         
                                         And, I mean,
                                         
                                         if you think about it, this is the firstiananmen square and and i mean if you think about it this is the first
                                         
                                         tiananmen square level protest with smartphones yeah you can't you can't do another tiananmen
                                         
                                         square in a world of smartphones you would not get away with it so yeah it's going to be very
                                         
                                         interesting to see how it plays out because the communist you know the chinese government and the people of china have had a deal for the last few
                                         
                                         decades which is that we live by your rules but you keep us rich and occupied and happy
                                         
    
                                         and these and zero covid is breaking that deal so yeah so it's going to be very interesting
                                         
                                         so it plays out i have to, I hope you're right,
                                         
                                         but I was very cynical
                                         
                                         seeing some of the pictures.
                                         
                                         Just cynical of what?
                                         
                                         Just sort of going like, well, they're just going to smush this
                                         
                                         with their big red fists and then, you know, whatever.
                                         
                                         Like, I hope that's not true.
                                         
    
                                         But there are lots of
                                         
                                         Chinese people. This is a thing.
                                         
                                         There are a lot of them.
                                         
                                         And, you know, pretty big revolutions have happened there before.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         But I think what's striking about it is that it's not just one class of people in China.
                                         
                                         It's all of them.
                                         
    
                                         This has really gone across class divides and across regions.
                                         
                                         Big cities, small cities, universities universities west of china um shanghai
                                         
                                         you know it's it's all encompassing so um it's yeah it's and and and xi jinping's kind of cornered
                                         
                                         himself by really he he is zero covid now so he can't if he backs out of zero covid he starts to
                                         
                                         look weak so it's you know it's very interesting i wonder i hope so because
                                         
                                         the smartphone thing you're right they can't massacre people as much but the smartphone
                                         
                                         stuff is also the reason why they just know everyone who is there and can fucking lock them up
                                         
                                         um yeah and yeah we know from some from xin chang that they're willing they're willing to literally lock up 400,000 people for
                                         
    
                                         a completely random length of time
                                         
                                         just because. So I hope
                                         
                                         that they don't just do that.
                                         
                                         But I hope that, yeah,
                                         
                                         the cracks are meaningful.
                                         
                                         I think it's different when the people are Han Chinese.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that's true.
                                         
    
                                         But it's quite a strong time
                                         
                                         in Iran, China, these things
                                         
                                         happening
                                         
                                         the Iran process is still going
                                         
                                         yeah
                                         
                                         yes
                                         
                                         I wonder, it would be amazing if
                                         
                                         it seems
                                         
    
                                         to me like in the Middle East that you either need to be
                                         
                                         pretend to be friends with Saudi Arabia
                                         
                                         or pretend to be friends with Iran
                                         
                                         that seems to be the general deal um in order to have a big
                                         
                                         friendly country with a half decent military that has some oil right yeah it's like when you when
                                         
                                         you go to prison in an american prison yeah you have to pick one of the gangs just for your own
                                         
                                         protection yeah exactly so and saudi arabia and iran are completely opposed shia sunni
                                         
                                         so you have to you can't have both you do have to pick one um and it would be nice if yes like
                                         
    
                                         when you when you're on your ucas form you can only apply to oxford or cambridge that's the closest
                                         
                                         that's the closest equivalent i've ever come to yes and like pokemon red or blue you can't have both that's always what it reminded me of um yeah yeah but imagine if there was some big upheaval in iran
                                         
                                         and it became like if not a perfect democracy obviously then at least one is flawed but
                                         
                                         functioning as say india and then we could be friends with them instead of pretending to be
                                         
                                         friends with saudi arabia who are as we've discussed on this podcast, mental.
                                         
                                         It would be amazing.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         But I mean, imagine all these countries being on the same side together.
                                         
    
                                         China, Iran, the West.
                                         
                                         It would change everything.
                                         
                                         It would be extraordinary.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         There would be no limit
                                         
                                         to what the human race could achieve.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I know that sounds a little idealistic of me but
                                         
    
                                         I believe it as long as no one cries
                                         
                                         when you make the speech saying that
                                         
                                         what do you mean
                                         
                                         what we were talking about the other day the crying
                                         
                                         at speeches
                                         
                                         oh yeah yeah that can
                                         
                                         mean people are a bit too mad
                                         
                                         about it yeah
                                         
    
                                         as long as when you say that no one listening starts crying
                                         
                                         and then you're going to make yourself frightened yeah yeah um uh do you think the protesters in china know about each
                                         
                                         other because they're so strict on the internet this is the interesting thing i was seeing on
                                         
                                         twitter earlier you know because you know all the chinese social media platforms are so thoroughly censored and watched yeah and controlled but lots of
                                         
                                         protests are you know popping up in very disparate different parts of the country
                                         
                                         um so if they're happening without them even knowing about each other that's really worrying
                                         
                                         that's true in a way it's more significant isn't? Yeah. If they don't even know they have this allyship across the country
                                         
                                         and they're still brave enough, because they're so brave.
                                         
    
                                         It makes me really emotional watching it.
                                         
                                         They're just so brave.
                                         
                                         And, yeah, so I don't know.
                                         
                                         I think it's pretty significant.
                                         
                                         I mean, protests in China is really rare,
                                         
                                         and one of this scale hasn't happened since 19...
                                         
                                         Was it 1989?
                                         
                                         I think it was 1989, yeah.
                                         
    
                                         I hope you're right.
                                         
                                         I hope you're right, Philip.
                                         
                                         I hope you're right.
                                         
                                         I've been watching the World Cup. What? I'm really disappointed in myself. Oh, no. I'm watching the World Cup

                                         I'm watching the games
                                         
                                         I'm watching the games
                                         
                                         It's just nice to watch

                                         But yeah, being
                                         
                                         mixed race can kind of place you in a
                                         
                                         completely different country to either of your parents.
                                         
                                         I met a gal recently who was half Irish and half Goan in India.
                                         
                                         And she looked South American.
                                         
                                         She looked Latin American.
                                         
                                         People thought I was Filipino.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Which is broadly, you know, broadly makes sense.
                                         
                                         And your name is Phil.
                                         
                                         And my name is Phil. That might have been it really that might have been the only reason it's really neat sometimes
                                         
                                         when the two when the the two races makes the kid look like someone from exactly the midpoint
                                         
                                         between the two parents yeah like that's really neat that's really neat. Oh, like, okay, so someone from Sudan and someone from Ireland looks Italian.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that kind of thing, that kind of thing.
                                         
                                         Or someone from Ireland and someone from Japan, their kid looks like someone from Kazakhstan.

                                         Land bridge. And axis yeah, yeah, yeah. That's an easier axis. Land bridge.

                                         then when they left everything they tidied everything into the centerpiece, like the table in the middle of the dressing room.

                                         Because they're throwing it away themselves at home a funny comment on twitter i think from a scottish person in response to the response to this response to the story of the japanese clearing up after themselves and he's like big deal english
                                         
                                         friends clear up the tables outside pubs in Europe. I thought that was quite funny.
                                         
                                         Yes, that's good.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I can't imagine...
                                         
                                         If you wanted to make English fans do that,
                                         
                                         you'd need to involve the army.
                                         
                                         Yeah.

                                         That'd be a direct threat.
                                         
                                         It would... On all of them.
                                         
                                         Yeah, the army would have to show up
                                         
                                         like they do at the end of Shaun of the Dead.

                                         is reputable. They wouldn't post
                                         
                                         fake news. They wouldn't print fake news.
                                         
                                         Well, I don't...
                                         
    
                                         I think it is possible.
                                         
                                         You're right, though. I mean,

                                         he should look into it.
                                         
                                         No, I don't believe it I don't see how it's possible
                                         
                                         Pierre

                                         and like the infection

                                         maybe I just don't want to believe it but I don't believe it. Maybe I just don't want to believe it, but I don't believe it.
                                         
                                         You'd better believe you live in a world where a man can piss shit and fart jizz, boy,

                                         Doctors have published a case study detailing a man who started ejaculating from his rectum after a previous medical procedure caused complications.
                                         
    
                                         There's your answer.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Now we're getting somewhere.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         It's an incompetent surgeon, maybe. So, the man, age 33,
                                         
                                         turned up for medical care after experiencing pain in one of his testicles
                                         
    
                                         for the previous five days.
                                         
                                         He also said he had been
                                         
                                         passing a, quote, substantial
                                         
                                         amount of urine and
                                         
                                         sperm from his rectum over the previous
                                         
                                         two years.
                                         
                                         Ugh.
                                         
                                         Also, you don't pass sperm, do you?
                                         
    
                                         It's more active than that.
                                         
                                         Yeah, you don't pass sperm in the street
                                         
                                         and just give them a little nod.
                                         
                                         But imagine like you're jerking off,
                                         
                                         you're jerking it, jerking it.
                                         
                                         You're jacking it.
                                         
                                         You're keeping on jacking it.
                                         
                                         And then you're like,
                                         
    
                                         and then it comes out of your ass.
                                         
                                         Pierre, no.
                                         
                                         I think it might.
                                         
                                         No, maybe it's quite nice, actually.
                                         
                                         I think it might have just been like, you know, making its way downtown,
                                         
                                         just coming out there every now and then without the jacking.
                                         
                                         Just dribbling.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Just dribbling like a basketball player down at your asshole
                                         
                                         yeah so
                                         
                                         the man also said he'd been experiencing a problem
                                         
                                         known as pneumaturia

                                         we didn't think about what we should do.

                                         I hate this.
                                         
                                         In an attempt to work out the cause,
                                         
                                         imagine trying to keep a straight face
                                         
                                         and a calm reaction being the doctor.
                                         
                                         Hmm, I see.
                                         
    
                                         That's difficult acting, isn't it?
                                         
                                         Yeah, I see your ball.
                                         
                                         The problem is your bollies are hooked up to your poo-poo hole.
                                         
                                         It's very serious.
                                         
                                         But also not to just grab the guy's head and go,
                                         
                                         what's wrong with you?
                                         
                                         How did this happen?
                                         
                                         You have to go,
                                         
    
                                         well, we'll certainly look into this, Mr. Smith.
                                         
                                         So in an attempt to work out the cause,
                                         
                                         doctors considered an inflammatory bowel disease and tuberculosis.
                                         
                                         They also asked the patient if he'd had any abdominal surgeries
                                         
                                         or any penetration or trauma to the rectum
                                         
                                         that might have contributed he said he had not
                                         
                                         after
                                         
                                         investigating more the doctors found the man had been in
                                         
    
                                         a three week coma about two years
                                         
                                         ago prior
                                         
                                         due to some drug intoxication
                                         
                                         right

                                         Dr. Pupenstein
                                         
                                         Performed a cruel experiment
                                         
    
                                         During this time this man had a catheter inserted
                                         
                                         So a tube in your dick hole
                                         
                                         To the bladder
                                         
                                         And the doctor said this appeared to have caused significant trauma
                                         
                                         So some
