We talk about the viruses around the world. Those are plaguing this planet, we're talking about artwork purchased by countries and the money you can make on them after Jackson Pollitt's painting was just sold for 181 million. But also, we are on the road as we always are. That's what we do for our crust.

We sing for our supper. We do our comedic poetry on the road to audiences full of people. Jim, where will you be? Well, I got a couple of big ones. So I got Glenside, Pennsylvania at the Kesswick Theatre on May 29th, and then Wilkes-Barry, Pennsylvania. Sounds like a virus, Wilkes-Bah. Wilkes-Bar, and May 30th. But here we go.

We're going to the World Cup. We had a show in Vancouver. That show, the 7pm show, it's sold out in record time. We had to put on a late show, a 10 p.m. show. Oh, God, past our bedtime, in it? But we got it, me and Amos will both be performing in their... shows. And then another big one in Seattle. This one hasn't been marketed that much yet, but we're going to start pushing it a bit more. But Tacoma at the Emerald Green Casino,

Tacoma, June 18th, that is the night before Australia versus USA. Come out. Also, we've just listed a whole lot of gigs in Canada, listed a whole lot of gigs in Germany. We've got the Australian tour coming up. So if you're from Australia, Canada, Germany, come and see me. Where can they see you, Amos. Come see me, June 7, Fort Lauderdale at the Dania Improv. Love to see you there. And I have my Canada shows September 11 in Vancouver and the 12th in Calgary. I'm also going to Europe, Skopje, and Orid, North Macedonia, Istanbul and Athens,

before I add a bunch of other European shows. But right now, you're not here for our advertisements. You are here to hear us wrap up the week that was another. and rendition of ATM. Enjoy Pie Lovers. Good morning, good afternoon and good day. Welcome to At This Moment with me, Jim Jeffries. I'm here with Amos Gil.

Gournay, Pie Lovers. We had a week off, Pie Lovers. Good-A-Puy, Pi Lovers. We had a week off. I want you to explain to everybody what you've been doing. What was so important that you had to deny people of this free, sparsely put together, hardly worked on podcast? I was filming a movie in Australia.

That's why I've been growing out the moustache. I was playing, I can't say too much, but I was playing like an outlawy, westerny type of fella. And so I had the moustache. And now, you know, like, when I do the routine where I go, and then I'm going to shave it. You look like Mark Cuban who's gone into hiding right now. What is this?

I didn't wear the glasses in the hat. I had a cowboy hat on. But I always go on about, and they actually, they dyed the grey away in your moustache. Like they'd put, like, not dyed it. How'd that look? I looked really young with it. Yeah, yeah, but it's weird.

I still can't grow in these bits and they're gray. So I don't think they're ever coming in. I don't think they're ever going to come at the end. But I've also, so they put like mascara through there. And every time you lick your lips, you're like, oh, that's an unpleasant taste. Are we able to know what your movie's called? Not yet. We'll know soon enough.

I'm doing an American accent. So that's going to be fun for everyone. Can you do the accent on the show now? Howdy, partner? There you go. So pretty good, pretty good. Crushed it. But we filmed in Australia. So it was all Australians around us and we were doing the accident. So that's why I couldn't do it. But I had a cold the whole time. And I believe you were coughing up blood as well. You had the, the virus. I don't know a soul who isn't sick right now.

I feel like this is that pre-memory pre-COVID when every single person felt like they had it. I had this thing before COVID, a week before COVID that me and my wife both had that. we referred to as the sickness, right? Because it wasn't quite a cold. We couldn't quite put our finger on what we had. We went, have you got the sickness? I've got the sickness, right? And I'm talking like December 2019.

I had the sickness, right? I'm going on three weeks of extreme phlegm. Yeah. Body aches. This is as sick as I've been in a long time. I've had blood in my coughing. Not good. Maybe you're just regurgitating that semen.

Yeah. The Ebola is going around as well as the Hibola. I thought we were done with a bowler. Ebola's back. Oh, well. Well, I think Ebola's always been living over there in Africa. I know. We only really report on Ebola when it gets anywhere near someone with a fainter skin tone.

Then we go, I think Ebola still exists. Yeah, I think Ebola still. But Ebola looks like a real kind of a disease. It looks like blood comes out of each one of your holes, out of your thing, and you're whatever. You basically just juice yourself. So I was, yeah, I was sick, but I used that for the character. I made the character sick. And then I got home and you know what's happened to me?

You know, we talked about I had a stolen identity and I had to go fix that. So this time I had the bank go, hey, did you spend money in this? It was camera shops, right? People buying camera stuff like lenses. Well, someone stole your credit card. Someone from the dark web got me number and all that type of stuff and they started buying things yesterday, right? And they went and bought things from different electronic shops around the country, right? I mean, maybe it's someone buying camera equipment to improve the look of our podcast.

Maybe. I tell you what, I listened to one of our podcasts on a plane because I had no Wi-Fi and that was the only downloaded episodes of things because I subscribed to keep our subscription numbers up. It's not a bad podcast. I'll tell you what, the audio is all right. I chuckled a few times. I didn't even remember what we were going on. And you know, you can read it as you go along. It prints out like the things you're reading.

It's not a good book. Well, I tell you what, they, the amount of times I say the word right, right, right, is unbelievable, right? Anyway, so, so, so, so, right, so a lot of that goes on. But also, it just misses words and gets words wrong and stuff like that. So I understand now why our friend Karen thought we were saying bonging. She was probably just reading the transcript of me saying bumming. So here we are. But anyway, so they went around.

They went and bought a whole lot of things. And then they, and the case is still open. The case is still open. They went to a, I won't say what it is because I don't want to tip off who, and I won't say the state and town what is. But more information to follow. But they went to a. well-known restaurant chain that you would call,

a lower bracket one, around the chilies sort of level. The crack-a-barrel type set up. Yeah, this is Golden Corral. You know, the cheesecake factory's all right, man. Cheesapecacke factory. No, the cheesecake factory is above it. Do you know that Paris Hilton's parents still go to the cheesecake factory?

The original ones in Beverly Hills, don't bloody be shit. Have you had one of the cheesecakes? You know, I watched a documentary on it. She got the recipe from a book. Anyway, so, so. I don't put the cheesecake factory as a top tier. It's a, no, it's not top tier. It's not top tier.

But it's not as good as Cactus Club or Oils in Canada either. Oh, no, Cactus Club, number one. Well, actually, your number one chain is Nobu, right? Because it's a chain. Nobu's your number one chain where you could take anyone to when people go, and also you're paying through the fucking nose for it, right? And then you go Cactus Club, which is, Cactus Club feels like it's going to be shit because they're named shit.

Yeah, but just the employees there are worth the very good Cactus Club. Very good to check it out. We will be bringing my 13-year-old son when we go to Vancouver to watch the football to the Cactus Club just to make the boy a man. As I used to say, listen, I'm not saying anything disparaging about Cactus Club and their practices, but if Epstein's Island had catering, Cactus Club would have provided it. I was thinking about Jeffrey Epstein the other day. Jeffrey Epstein, I'll go back to it. I think that's called remembering.

It's how many, there has to be a lot of Jeffrey Epstein's out there who've lived their lives very happily for many, many years, being called Jeffrey Epstein. I work in accounts. You know what I mean? Like, Jeffrey Epstein's, there must be everywhere, Jeffrey Epstein's. And that is a name now where you go, people must be in pubs all over the world going, I've got a friend called Jeffery Epstein's. Epstein. Banga. It's not as bad as my friend Sandy Hook.

Oh, God. Sandy Hook. That was a drag character, wasn't it? The hell that she and he had to go through. You know what I mean? There's tons of Sandy Hooks out there. So Jeffrey Epstein, Sandy Hooks, my heart goes out to you. I hope you find love and joy in your life.

Anyway, so, right. I get the, I get my credit, I get my statement. Have you paid for this thing? I said no. And then I looked at all day that. been trying to buy things. And they went and stopped at one of those chilies, you know, that level of restaurant, right? And it was in a small town in a state that's quite far away from us, right?

So I, right. So I rang up, I rang up the restaurant. I rang up the restaurant and I said, hey, I said someone at this time named Jeffrey Nugent, right, my real name, went and bought $90 worth of food, blah, blah, blah, and I said, and I said, because I thought, how dare the restaurant not take the actual card, the physical card, right? Because they actually bought it directly from the restaurant. They've just taken the numbers. That means someone in the restaurant is in cahoots, right?

They go, no, no, no, we have, we have, oh, fuck it, I'll just say it, Applebee's online, right? And so they go, they go with. So you can go, you can pre-order your dinner at Appleby's online. Or they deliver it or something. Or they ate it in restaurants. Yeah, you can take out, like, but you can pre-order online and then just go in and say your name and they'll hand you the bag and you'll walk out, right? Wouldn't that be a security camera? Well, this is, this is where we're heading.

This is where we're heading right now. So I rang them and I got the phone number that was. attached to my account because I said, here's the card, here's the thing, here's the thing, here's my address. And the phone number attached to my account was not a, not my phone number. Right. So I then rang the police and the police, it's a small town, right? Ordinarily, you go, someone's gone to a restaurant and spent $90 on my credit card. They'll be like, fill out a police report. Thank you very much, sir. Right? No, I got the most diligent cop that's ever lived.

This cop. Well, he's looking for something to do. No, as a lady, she's just like this. And she goes, I go, I go, at this restaurant, there's a small town. She goes, oh, that restaurant's up the road from us. All right? 20 minutes later, she calls me back. I'm in the restaurant.

Yes. She goes, I'm in, I'm in the restaurant. Can you describe anything else to the, what's your, what's your actual billing address? the billing address was the same as my address, the thing, address, the thing. And then she goes, all right, I've got their address. Right? She goes, I'll go over to the house. And I'll ring you tomorrow.

I am awaiting the call, right? But I just wrote to you. What do you mean you're awaiting the call? She's been killed in a shootout. Right. It was bizarre small town. Right. But like, even if I don't expect to get these cunts.

Also, this person's got $90 worth of apple bees currently digesting it. They can't be hard to fucking track down. It'll be slow at this point. Just the knock, knock, knock on the door as this cunt bucket goes, what? What? This can't be the first credit card numbers they've taken off the dark web, right? This isn't the first time. They've taken tons of these things.

They're doing this day. You've never been to, this person couldn't have swiped your digits somewhere else? I have. No, no, no, no, no. I'll tell you off the town and the thing because I don't want to interrupt the police work that's been going on at the moment. But I've done detective work, right? So then I rang up all the other stores. And the phone number aligned with all of those?

Oh, now I have the address. I'm coming to get you cunts. I'm coming to get you. I've got the number. I've got the phone number. Can you drive there? The next thing we're going to do is, if they don't get prosecuted and nothing happens, we will be posting the phone number of the people who took my credit card and pile of us.

If you want to ring and you want to prank call these cunts every fucking day, have at it. Have you cancelled the card? The card's cancelled. The money's been refunded. This is all just to be vindictive now. I would have thought you were telling people to call up this person to also get some things bought for them before it gets cancelled. Last minute, furry. Well, I told you many years ago.

I think I said this on Conan or something like this. This is a true story. Had a credit card stolen and they go, did you make these purchases? And you know what the purchases were for? Babies formula and diapers. And I looked at it and I went, yeah, yeah, yeah, I made those purchases, right? And I let them use the card because they weren't taking the piss. I let them use it for a couple more days until the cunt went off and bought a pair of Air Jordans.

and then I called it. I went, I went, you give people a fucking inch in this world. They take a fucking mile. Oh, don't, you think a dad doesn't need a firm support and grounding of good footwear? No, no, look, I was all for it. The cat was desperate. Where do you draw the line? A cot?

A cot? Yeah. Well, look, look, I'm not going to pay for the kids college, right? But I feel like, I feel like essentials. I was down for essential. So I let it go a little bit longer. My wife was the end you. Why is your card getting picked up?

So you're doing some old man behavior. Your phone number, all these things, your identity, your credit card. What's going on? Well, the identity thing's been fixed now. And my credit score is back to normal and I'm toast up. What, you've never had this happen? You don't have this. Not as often as you, but also my credit card.

I'm telling you almost every time this has happened. Yeah. Right. But what about you don't have at least like once or twice a year. have someone's fraudulently trying to use your card? Maybe I should start checking my statement. You never have the bank just send you this. Did you make this purchase?

Yes or no. That's always me. Yeah, yeah. I know. 99% of the time it's yes, yes, I did make this purchase. And then like, you're spending a lot of money on sports cards. Seems a bit weird. Yeah, it'll be like, do you, are you really staying at a hotel in Brushoff, Romania?

And I'm like, I do. I enjoy visiting the castle of Vlad Tepesh, aka Drago. Dracula. But anyway. I'm after that, Cunt. So, so I'm on the hunt.

We should call him on the podcast. The biggest mistake you ever made, mate, was getting hungry. There's every chance that he was using those Applebee's payments to feed his kids. No. No, because the rest of the stuff

was all fucking... The rest of this stuff was all electronics like of a certain description. I don't want to. say what that is, but there's a certain description. But I rang all the stores around the place and I said, hi, I'm this, this, this, and my address is this. And they went, yes, we have your purchase here right here, sir.

Thank you. Thank you for being a loyal customer. Not me. Don't deliver it. Well, whoever this person is, we will have to, I've invariably given them cut of the week. Cut of the week. But right now, friend of the show, friend of the show.

Friend of the show. Because they've given us a bit of material. Credit card scammer, friend of the show. You know, it's a real Robin Hood situation. Because I've never understood the credit card scan because people are buying things online to be sent to an address. Like, you don't have to be fucking Colombo. You can figure it out quick. Just see where it is and let the police deliver the product.

Well, usually the... Jay Vance said they were going to slam down on this. And if they do, like, I'll take whatever government, even if it's not the government I vote for, the government I agree for, If they do something that's in my favor, I root for them for that particular task. And they reckon they're going to do that now. Because I reckon people who do credit card scams and all that, they should be done the same. You're entering someone's home.

You're entering someone's private stuff, right? It should be the same as... Well, if you get the money back, it's less bad. Yeah, but that's the whole thing. That's what they bank on. The banks go, you get the money back. We're insured. The police can't be fucked.

Because this was a small town, the police officer could be fucked. The police officer gave a shit. I couldn't get over it. I go, it's this restaurant. Do you want me to get you the address? They go, no, no, it's walking distance from the station. 20 minutes later. 20 minutes later.

Nothing going on in this town. The police probably got to expense bottomless appetizers. I need to see what the criminals eat. Is it bottomless there? It's a steak out. I forgot which one it was. Someone brought back bottomless, like unlimited appetizers. I think it's Buffalo Wild Wings.

Not only that, Duncan Donuts is doing. buckets of iced latte, like refillable. Buckets? Refillable. Like buckets like in Thailand cocktails. Like a bucket. Like could you put it over your head? No, like your fairy floss would come in that kind of bucket.

You know those? Oh, okay. So it's like a big gulp. Way bigger. Bigger than a big gulp. I always loved when the big gulp went, someone at the big gulp people at 7-Eleven went, hey, the big gulp, people are complaining.

It's not fitting. in the cup holders in the cars. So they went, here's what we'll do. We'll make the bottom really skinny. And then we'll go out like this at the top. Oh, yes. Jack found me the buckets. Yeah.

Just single-handedly pushing back to fight Ozempic in these fat fucks that are walking around with those in the car. Look at the calories in that. That could be a shock. We don't know the height. Could you, honestly, someone is eating a bacon, egg and cheese, hash browns and then washing it down with a bucket of ice. Beverage buckets, they call it.

Ice latte. I thought you were joking by calling it bucket. It is a bucket. 48 ounce buckets. Beverage bucket. Yeah. And then we have to share public toilets with whoever had that. Yeah.

Yeah. And then you should... The Mount Vesuvius that would come from the rectum of the human being, they consumed a bucket of Duncan coffee. Yeah. Duncan Donuts. I know the people of Boston. and they've always been very good to me,

and it's one of my better comedy cities and all that other stuff, but it's not a good company. And the way that people rave about Dunkin' Donuts, it's a fucking average bloody place. The donuts are shit. The idea of the munchkins, giving out the holes was a good idea. Giving out the donut holes is something that's been necessary.

How we ever miss this. And why do donuts need holes at all? I think it's to cook all the way through, probably that would be the reason. But the munchkins, is a special treat, but I would prefer to go to Tim Horton's over Duncan, wouldn't you? No, I mean, every day, that's just a sort of sweet Canadian patriotism that's inside me. Though these days, sadly, Tim Horton owned by a Brazilian corporation.

Canada hollowed, hollowed out. Owned by Burger King. I believe the actual Tim Horton was not a great dude, if you read about him. Don't go canceling fast food. Like, was Colonel Sanders a slave owner? We don't need to know these things. Colonel Sanders wasn't a great dude. Colonel Sanders.

Was he? He's a guy. Colonel Sanders franchised. He's a colonel for God say. He's not a colonel. He just said he was a colonel. He just said he was a colonel to put on the suit. He figured out the pressure cooker and then he franchised his recipe out.

He never owned an actual KFC. He franchised the chicken out, the recipe to all the people. In the same way that Chick-fil-A used to be in a waffle house. And what did Tim Horton do? Tim Horton was a professional. ice hockey player. Did you know that? That rings a bell now that you... Yeah, he professional ice hockey player.

I believe there's been some accusations of domestic abuse. I can't prove this. And I do also believe that he died in a drink driving accident. See if we can get this information up and I'm not going to be done for defamation. Tim Horton, how did he die?

I think it was drink driving. We should start a chain down there called Gretzke's. He never got to see He never got to see his Tim Horton's become the Tim Hortons it is now. I think he only had a few of them or whatever. He died on February 21st, 1974 at the age of 44 and a high speed, single vehicle car crash. Yeah. The hoof.

Yeah. So even if he wasn't drunk, he was well over the limit, the speed limit. He lost control on a curve while travelling over 100 miles per hour. It flipped multiple times before he was. ejected as he was not wearing a seatbelt. Yeah, that's Timmy. That's Timmy. Oh, the country runs in Tim.

That's Duncan's slogan. I don't even know what Tim's, uh, Tim's, uh, Tim Horton's, uh, slogan would be. Tommy Campbell. He used to be praised. Yeah, Tommy Campbell used to see it's a good cup of coffee, good cup of coffee at a reasonable price. Jesus. That's a, that's a, that's a horror.

Yeah. Imagine he went through the drive-thru. His head would have bashed on the top. So who, why was, why was, which, which other person did you say was no good? You said the Colonel was bad. The Colonel's all right. He shot a bloke, right? And he, but he had the, he had the chicken recipe.

And he was just a bloke who just sort of dressed up a bit. And then he used to just show up at KFCs unannounced and just start working the counter. We did a whole episode of, I don't know about this. Sounds like a man that leads from the front. Yeah, yeah. He'd be eccentric old Colonel. He'd rock up and go, oh, yeah. You know what they've done in Australia?

I'll tell you what they've fucking done in Australia. I was just out there. Australia, some of them have gone back to calling it Kentucky Fried Chicken. They're fucked off the KFC because they called it KFC because people didn't like fried foods and they thought it'd kill us. So they were just called it KFC. We'll get rid of all the other letters and we'll just leave three letters and call it KFC. Now they've gone back to the old fucking font and Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Another picture of the Colonel, it made me go back in. I was like, all right, fucking least you're owning it. I'll tell you what, us going to the World Cup, my dad did something when we went in 2006, Coca-Cola always sponsors the World Cup, as does Budweiser. And they had the Coca-Cola bottles

that were gold like the trophy, right? They were beautiful, like the thing. And my dad bloody kept to me, he goes, these'll be worth something someday, and I googled it, right? And he has, he's, over 20 years, my dad's made a $7 profit. So there you go.

And he carried them all around Germany with him in his backpack. He goes, don't open him up. So your mom was the hoarder, and it turns out all her stuff was useless, and your dad's Coke bottles were the things of any value of whatever. He bought Coke bottles in 2006 of the Germany World Cup that are worth four times more than they were worth when he purchased them. That said, I know when your mom died, you told me she had like thousands of packets of endone, like the oxy cotton. oxy cotton morphine pills. Yep.

My mother had... And you flush them. I didn't flush them. My bloody cop brother did. I bloody was all for keeping them in the family. That's how I know, like I have... I have that oxy junkie. I have that junkie streaking me where I still...

Sometimes I remember you told me that and wake up disappointed. Yeah, my mother towards the end was on so many oxy cottons and fucking Vicodins and all this type of stuff that she... You're reading up and she'd be reading up and she'd be reading up and she'd be dribbling a little bit, you know what I mean? And so she hadn't lost her marbles, she'd just fucking dulled them with pills. You know, she'd covered her marbles in fucking cling wrap and rolled them around, you know. So, yeah, she had loads and loads of those oxy cottons and I thought, I'll just take a box. It's part of my inheritance.

But there's... Yeah, when you have a particularly bad day, one little oxydurdle. Yeah, yeah, it's just part of my inheritance. And if I don't take them all, I can. and pass them down to my sons. I'm quite good with it. I still have, you know, from knee surgeries, I have a couple of little percol doodle doos. And if I have a truly horrific day, you knock one of those, you down it with a, you just down it with a can of Coke. You feel extremely splendid. It gets you through a

tight spot. And it's actually, it's like Forrest told me about anxiety medication. You get anxiety medication and you keep it with you and then you never have anxiety because you know if you did get it you've got this medication the key is to never take it he told me that about his issues with flying he's like you have a xanax you go i said do you take the zanax because i said i'm no interest in taking any kinds of pills like that i take i take zanics for long flights yeah but they don't told me that if you keep one then you don't take it i knock myself out for long flights and have a little sleep and then you know because uh you know you can't get a different time zones I can take absolutely anything to get fixed

because as we alluded to before and I'm going to get into this story about the hunter virus I don't know whether that's petered out or not but I did some research into where it's at now so the MV-Hodians what are the symptoms of the hunter virus it's well it comes from rats

rat piss rat shit it's another flu although it's such a bad respiratory disorder a lot of the people die so it's been extremely serious we all know is turn 100 recently right and we've all seen the memes

David Attenborough is 100. Loves animals, vegan, maybe the greatest documentarian of animals to have ever lived, probably, undisputed,

right? Hates rats? Loves all of the living creatures and the Lord. They couldn't stand rats. Can't stand rats. He's still 100. Fuck rats.

What has rats ever given us? The Black Plague, Hunter virus. Name me a positive. Lab testing. Ah, lab testing, but we would have, we would have moved.

moved over to another animal. Gerbils would have got it, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just guinea pigs would have been quaking in their fucking boots. The rat testing, what happens? I always thought about this. Like when you test on the rats, it is bad, except when it works, when they decide that the shampoo is good, there is one rat whose life has been improved.

I did a routine about this. You have to test on animals. You can't go straight from cucumber to human. You can't rub on a cucumber and go with an acne cream and go tests have been positive. No acne on cucumber, right? And then ready for people, face melted off. Back to cucumber. You've got to go an animal in the middle.

You have to. There has to be one little bit of animal in there. Well, this is what's really interesting is the ship has just pulled in to be disinfected. And where and what city did it pull into? And I love the poetry of names in the world. It's pulled into Rotterdam, which of course in Dutch, rot is rat. Rat. So essentially, the rat virus ship has moved into the dam of rats.

So you can say we're all about to be damned by a rat, which is where the virus boat of rats has pulled into. Something about that is a poetry I don't like. Well, at least that input in the rot nest and left Australia alone. Hey, look, when you get to my age, your testosterone drops a little bit. You need a little bit of a pick-me-up, you know, your dad bod start sagging, summers are coming. Look, I need more testosterone. Who doesn't? I want to feel young, right?

And testosterone is crucial as a man for what, your body, for your mind,

for your mood, for anxiety, for your libido. I mean, Jim, Jim didn't have that beard before he started taking Mars men. It's a bit unbelievable transformation. Look at it.

Like surely there must be just Danish people like now going, you had North Third World country you could go to that they were dying anyway. you had to come and bother us. It says here, a luxury liner at the center of the...

This was the M.V. Hondius pulled on Monday where authorities were disembarking the remaining 25 crew and two medical staff to cremate and also to cremate a German woman on board who died. Why don't we just blow this boat up, just fucking straight of Hamasot or just even like the Americans so they can test some missile? I had been saying this for weeks now. If we're going to live under a fascist state and Donald Trump, thinks he can blow up any Venezuelan person that pulls out a fishing boat.

We would have turned the borderline. Whatever happened to Venezuela? Are we in charge of that place now? Are we running that? What's happening? I guess we're, I think we're focused on what comes next with Cuba, and I think Bolivia is about to get some. Who would have thought that Cuba, with all their old cars, the big linchpin with them is

just stop giving them fuel? Oh, no. Well, also, yeah, because Russia was meant to be supplying them. don't know what ended up happening there. They seem like they're about to fold. That's the socialist project of Cuba. I've always, I've always wanted to go to Cuba and see all the old cars and have a sandwich with, that has half a pig in it. Um, but now I, I guess it's going to go to shit a little bit. It's going to lose a little bit of its luster for a little while. So would you, was, when you're in Australia, were people talking about this virus? Or is that

died off? This is what I'm going to say about Australia. So for all this talk of Australia's not getting enough fuel and because we haven't got enough fertilizer. Australia seems to be running pretty smooth. No one seems to be stressed. The biggest news story to happen in Australia while I was out there is Coles, right? Coles, which is the equivalent of supermarket. Yep. Supermarket out here, Ralphs, but it's, you know, it was one of the standard ones.

It's not the cheapest one, but it's, it's a good. Sainsbury's. Yeah, Sainsbury's. It's a step below a Whole Foods, but a step above a Ralph's. It's somewhere in the middle there. right sprouts would be a good I don't know anyway so

Coles has been just going oh big big discounts look at all these big discounts come to Coles for big discounts and all Coles has been doing is pumping the prices up for

for five days before they discount it back to the normal price right and people have started to notice and they're being fucking sued for hundreds of millions of dollars Are they really? Because every time you look at, Coles loves the, they love the red sticker price. And you go, that doesn't seem to be at this count in any language. Like, it shouldn't be $14 for one block of Cadbury chocolate.

So you're giving it to me for eight. And they have, they showed on the adverts all the big, big savings. Come to Coles for big, big savings. And they were just the normal prices. They were just fucking us. And Coles were like, ah, that was never our intent. Please keep shopping at Coles. But they never had denied it.

They go, that was never our intention. intent. No, the supermarket chains are truly, truly scum. But it is interesting because we talk about the cost of living crisis. My way of looking at this always is it's actually, what it is is it's a cost of living well crisis because when I'm back in Australia and poor, what always makes me laugh is you can buy a $5 mud cake and eat that every single day and get your required amount of calories.

Yeah, yeah. You're not going to be healthy. The homeless people are whinging all the time. I always say if you. Well, yeah, it's like you can give you some of cake a day. If you live in Zurich, go to the Lindor factory for $14, and you can have all the Lindor chocolate you can eat. Sorry, I'm just...

If you just do that once a week, that'll nourish you through the week. By the way, as was... It'll keep you alive. As was always said... If you have the strawberry creams, you'll be getting fruit. What did Marie Antoinette say? Let them eat cake. Let the meat cake.

And they said that she was a pretentious bitch that didn't know about the people. Little did we know that actually... Actually, she could envision a world of corporate food where mass-produced preservative-laden sugar cakes were actually the way to sustain the poor. And they killed her for that. And she invented radiation or something. Very smart woman. Very smart. Sorry, if my eyes are darting over to the screen, Tottenham are playing Chelsea right now.

We really need a point that we've just gone too down. You're going to be fine. You're going to be fine. You're going out. West Ham's going down. You're fine. Yes. Yes.

And as we speak, for anyone watching, Arsenal, I think, just won the title. Good for them. Good for them. Been a while. Been a while? That Arsenal team, 20-something years ago, the Arsendbenga team, that team was the best football team I ever saw when I was living in England.

They were fucking unbelievable. I know none of our fans probably listened to Premier League, but you know what I've been doing right before I came on the podcast with you? Some guy did a post and he said, name a supermarket item that sounds like a 200 plus Premier League appearance player. Okay? Oh, all right.

So I'll tell you the two that I came up with, right? Tim Tam, a Chinese Australian winger, had 100, he had 100 appearances for Melbourne Victory. Watford picked him up on a free, but did three ACLs and retired early. He now hosts a podcast about the A League. Tim Tam. Okay. Here's another one.

I came up with. Here we go. Kikoman soy, a box-to-box midfielder from Japan, took his country to the Asian Cup final and got a move to Dortmund. Ange Postal Coglu later brought him into Celtic. All your ones are just Asian-based. They're the easy ones. Try to give me...

Here's some of the other top comments. Are you ready? These are some funny ones on this. Like, there's a baseball player called Noot Bar. That sounds like a food. Yeah, Noot Bar. Here's a few really funny ones from this page. Cole Slaw.

Solid right back for West Ham in the Air. 80s? Yeah, Coleslaw. Yeah. Jasmine Rice, Declan Rice's sister doing well

in the women's soccer league. I always think that Coleslaw and Cold Soar are too close for things that are so different.

I've always thought the same about feces and fetus. I get those two mixed up and they're always an unpleasant thing to get mixed up.

When the feces digests in the woman's belly. Well, why don't we write to Webster's and see if we can get that change. I just don't think fetus and feces should be so close. I think fetus is a dreadful name.

Especially, fetus. Yes, it's an awful name. Fetus. Fetus. Sounds like a fucking American trailer park name. Yeah, the other thing, yeah, Cletus. Yeah, cleatis. Cleetus and fetus.

Cleetus and fetus. It doesn't sound very nice, fetus. It's very clinical. Because you'd abort a fetus, you would not abort a baby. I think that's probably part of it. Ah, right. So if you're just called mini babies. Yeah, if I, if I, if I, if I, if I, pre-cooked babies.

Terminate a baby versus terminate a fetus. You go, what's a fetus? Get rid of it. Do you remember, I was trying to explain this to Hank the other day. Do you remember shrinkie dinks? No. Ah. Do you know the shrinky dinks?

Shrinky dinks were like, you get something that's this big, a plastic thing that's this big. You put it in the oven and then it would shrink down to this small. It would melt down with all the chemicals and everything like that. You go, fucking brilliant. I thought. No, the sponge that you put in and then it becomes a dinosaur. Yeah, we have this.

No, the opposite is a big bit of plastic that you put in an oven. You can smell it through the house. Someone's doing shrinky dinks. And then the shrinky dink would go down and do a little. See if you can find me a shrinky dink online. I would like to think that our. RFK has banned those, but he seems to have given up. You don't eat him, but the idea that you just put them in your oven.

It's not a good oven coating. Yeah. Hey, speaking of that, have you seen the absolutely abhorrent stuff that Donald Trump's done in the last week with PFAs? They got rid of legislation that allows all these PFAs, those chemical, those forever chemicals are in the water supply now. Shrinky dinks. Shrinky dinks. You make those things smaller. Shrinky dinks for all your shrinky dink need.

Frickinx, also the name of my family's genitalia. They reckon, well, that's the whole thing. They reckon with the virus, with the rat virus, with the, what's it called again? The Hunter. Hunter, Hunter. My son has a lot of friends called Hunter. Hunter's a very, it's like if you had a virus during my childhood called Paul. It's the Hunter virus.

It's named after the Biden family. It's a, Hunter, there's Xavier, there's Kepler, they're all. here, all the viruses. It's the symptoms of hunter virus. You get very sick and you fuck your brother's widow. That's what you do. But they reckon you lose three inches off your dick. I looked into that.

Apparently not true. That was just something that was going around for a while. You should really work on that and just go under virus. Mark Norman had the best tweet on that one, which was not the small cocks virus. Ah, small cocks. Yeah, very good. And obviously, I'm sure a lot of comedians have made a lot of jokes about there. I'll be minus one inch.

But you know what is interesting about the hunter virus is it's a South American virus that has transferred on a white-yro-yro-train boat. I'll be trans fat. Okay, carry on. So let's move on to the next topic I wanted to bring out with you. What are you got for me? Let's go from one boat to another boat, which is, and I called you about this, Disney Cruises had a bunch of employees pulled off them for having child pornography.

staff members. So over 30 people were arrested in raids, not all on Disney, but many of them working on Disney. Well, this is the thing with the pedophiles that I've noticed over the years. If anywhere kids are, they'll find a place to be there. That's their thing. That's their thing. They never get jobs in nursing homes. They never get, they always go, they try to find jobs.

Yeah, I've been doing a joke on this on the stage where people go, It's shocking that they're working for Disney. I go, what would be shocking is if you found 30 pedophiles at a retirement community and they go, what were they doing there? They're just talking to old people like, when are your grandchildren visiting? They don't ever seem to come a pass. It's been a waste of my fucking time. But to my point was right now the prices have dropped, which is exactly my dad would be rubbing his hands together if I was young. he'd be taking me on a Disney cruise now going, well, they'll be on their best behaviour.

This is the good time to go because they're filtering out of the pedophiles, and now the prices are drinking. Well, you go on Disney Cruise. Explain this to me because I've been on one, yes, I've been in one. I personally don't under, this is my, this is my overwhelming point, okay? So you say it's fun. Water slides and shit on the boat, it's fun. What is sad to me is every seaside town in the world, mostly in the anglo's sphere, they're all in decay. Have you been to seaside town slightly?

Well, Disney buys up beaches in the Caribbean and stuff like that Where you'll go and you'll stop at the beach And there'll be like Mickey Mouse on the beach And there'll be like water slides and stuff What I'm saying is that people save up to go on this fucking These Disney cruises What's wrong with like your crappy little seaside town Where you get fish and chips

A mid-tier ice cream You play underneath a You know, some jetty You do some shitty fishing from the pier With some weird old cunts on the jetty You're talking about a day. I'm talking about people used to take seaside trips to bad towns. We're talking about a vacation.

Like you're actually doing something. No, I mean like my vacations were to Port Elliott. Small little towns in, you know, in Australia. Yeah. No, I don't feel like people do that as much anymore. Everyone has these much grander. What are you doing in 20 days? What do you mean?

I'm going to the World Cup. Yeah, yeah, you're going to the World Cup. Oh, yeah, you were such a fucking, just a grassroots sort of guy. Um, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what, where have you been? What, where have you been? Where have you been? You're in-laws over the window. I ski.

Yeah, you go to a ski resort. Okay, okay, good, good, good, good, good. Um, uh, uh, I go out to nature. I don't need to, you know what I don't do. You go out to nature. You're in a chalet. You haven't camped. There's no stage.

Did you pitch a fucking tent with your missus-I don't go skiing with goofy. I go off with my family. I don't need characters around me. You don't have kids, you fucking. you fucking idiot. You're not meant to be scooing. We'll find you on the same file as all these employees that got done on the bloody boat. That's the weird

thing. Even kids shouldn't do it. When you're on the cruise and you meet those Disney adults that are just like, and there's like, there was a, there was a guy who was wearing a t-shirt that just said, that just said I don't have any money. I spend all my money on Disney stuff for my wife.

Oh God. Yeah. I mean, Come on. No, that's the low of the low. Because people, I mean, the world is so horrific that I understand escape. Lego Land has it down. Lego Land, you're not allowed to go to Lego Land without a child, right? And the problem is there's so many adults that are really deeply into Lego. And I just want to go see the models.

It's probably a good business. You can rent your kids to them. I just want to see the models. But like, even with the, even with all the Disney, do you need to live amongst the world? Isn't it enough the world of imagination? No one ever brought, I didn't get to go to any world, no Disney. Oh, bullshit. You never went to, you ever went to Dream World or Warner Brothers movie world in Australia.

No, we never went. War you went to is in Adelaide, Wine World, so you could win the whole bloody time. We would put the movies on, and that is enough escapism. You don't need to spend time with an adult in a fucking costume. When you have kids, when you and your fiancé have kids, and you'll probably do it sooner than late. Right? You're within five years of you having a child. Not with Donald Trump poisoning the water supply, but yes.

Right. When you have kids, your, your missus, I've never met a woman who enjoys Christmas or family more than her. She likes tradition and this and that. She will be, you'll be fucking in theme parks and fucking going on little. I don't want to be in theme parks. I'll tell you where you'll be off to. You know what? The point of those Disney books is to be on an adventure.

Lapland to meet the real Santa and you'll be on fucking sleds behind reindeer's and all this type of stuff. You go, you've got to go. It's quite an experience. The kids love it. You'll be the worst. No, no, no, no. We will not, I will not be into that Disney shit. The point of the books is to live your life as an adventure, not to go and jump into that adventure.

I fucking, I fucking gave Hank a bloody pack of cards the other day. And I'd be, you know, he had that one big card that he pulled over Christmas that we've all talked about, right? Yeah. And I gave him another box because a new product came out. And I said, oh, there you go. There you have a box. This is quite a cheap product. The little bastard pulls a three and a half thousand dollar card.

And he just goes like this. Ah, that's great. And he goes back to watching TV. And I'm like, no, never again. He's not getting any more boxes now because he, at 13, you meant to be doing backflips and screaming and shit. He's taken any stride too much. His card portfolio is over 10 grand now. And he hasn't done anything.

He's literally opened 12 boxes. of cards in his entire life, and he's going to have the worst gambling habit ever. I was actually, you know, you brought up Santa Claus. Can I tell you a weird thought that I had the other day about AI? Right. Make him real. So what I was thinking is, is, you know how they say? And if there's a parent right now going, oh, I was sitting listening to the podcast with my

children, and you mentioned, because that's the worst thing you can do on radio, right? We all know that if you say the Santa thing. That's the worst thing you can do on radio. No, no, if your kids are listening to our podcast, too late, they should already know, you should be thanking us. Or you're a bad parent. You shouldn't have this playing in the car. What I would say, yes, you've given fair warning now, is I'm trying to, I've been trying to listen to people who give me a positive read on AI because I'm a doomer. We all know I'm a doom.

I'm only a doomer as well. I don't believe there's anything positive about AI. I don't think it's going to help the world in any way. And so the people who believe in the abundance theory, which is the robots will be able to create with such efficiency and the scientific breakthroughs will be so immense that we will have so much provided for us that essentially it's going to be machines that build and create and all the GMO food and everything. We'll have so much stuff that you won't have to work. You'll be given a stipend from the government and taken care of. Now, I don't believe this is going to happen at all. However, what I did think was, is realistically, Amazon could become Santa Claus, okay?

Because Santa Claus, the whole point, that's what I'm saying. They already kind of are. But with AI technology in the home and all the listening capabilities, they would technically be able to tell whether you've been naughty or nice and would be able to run analytics on your children to determine whether or not they're good or not. plus they would know exactly what your kid wants because they talk about it and they store that information and then they could just send you with all of their corporate profits a dividend at the end of the year which is a present to your children

so realistically Santa Claus could become an AI code with the elves being the factory workers and robots so we could make Santa Claus real so I'm going to get a porn hamper am I from from Adameneve.com yeah a little porn hamper with all the things I'm into. Do you know what I'm saying? So if that company's worth like 10 trillion, in order to keep us happy with them, each year they provide us with everything we want on Christmas. Only if we're good though and the tech overlords appreciate our behavior and we don't revolt.

I'm going to tell you. Santa AI. I'm going to tell you a story. This story is 16, 17 years old, right? So I think now we're okay. Whatever happens, right? So I back, one of my original agents and I moved to a different agency, but a really good guy. Same age as me. We were both quite young then. You know, we're going back to us, both being about 35 years old. And it was my birthday. And I rock up and he got is, I got something for your birthday, right?

And it was a fucking crate filled with every sex toy you can imagine, right? Just dildos and just things you can put your dick. and just stuff, right, to the brim, right? This is before the Me Too where I, if, if me and him and this guy didn't get along very well, I could have sued his ass for fucking, like, what are you doing? You know what I mean? Depravity hamper. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was depravity hamper, right? And I was just like, what the fuck? And he goes, I'm engaged, my missus, who I'm getting married to, right? her father, her parents own like Adam and Eve or one of the big ones, right? They own Adam and Eve and all those stuff. They've got an empire of, you know, all these dildos and all this type of stuff, right? Right. So I get this all for free, so I thought, I didn't know what to get you.

So I just said, give us all your best sellers and put them in a crate, right? Right, this is his gift to his clients. Yeah. So he gives me this fucking crate. crate full of fucking vibrators and shit like that, right? I can tell you how long ago it was because, because Hank was two. So it's not as long ago as you think.

It's 11 years ago, this, right? I'm sitting on a lot of dildos. So anyway, so they used to do this Halloween thing at CIA where you'd go down to the agency and you could go by and all the assistants would have candy at their desks. And so clients who were too famous to go out to houses and do the So I select Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban there with a, you know, like this type of thing, right? You could go around, you could get all your candy at the things and they dressed up and each

floor had a different theme and it was quite a thing, right? So I took Hank down and he was possibly one. Like I remember like he was just waddling around walking and I had to carry him the most part, right? We go around all the candy and stuff. Oh, no, no. He had two years earlier given me this crate of dildos, right? The crate of dildos was before Hank. was born, cut to, I'm, I'm, years later, I'm at this Halloween thing 12 years ago going around.

And then I go down and I'm there waiting for the valet and he walks up with his beautiful wife. The two of them staying there and he goes, oh, Jim, I don't think you've ever met my wife. And my wife's name. And I go, I know you, you're the dildo heiress. Right? Yeah. Thinking, you've got to own it. That's what got you through private school, right?

You can't just go, you can't just go, no, I don't, we don't like to talk about this. And she looked at her husband and she goes, are you telling everyone this? And I just, I just stood there with Hank. The car couldn't have taken longer to fucking get there. Minutes and minutes and minutes I fucking waited. Anyway, I've never got any more dildos, but just to remind me. A nepo sugar baby. I said to her, I said, and she was upset, and I said, look, you know, I, I wouldn't be ashamed of it.

There's worse things that, like, you could be like, I'm from the fucking DePont chemical company. I said, people buy the products. I've been a, I've been a customer. And, you know, I'd own it if I was you. I'd be like, and then my car rocks up, I'd be like, this is the car that Dildo's bought. And then he just looked at me and I go, sorry about the argument you're both about to have. and then I drove off. Yeah, you could be from the Sackler family,

getting people addicted to Oxy. This lady needs to respect her fucking father. That's what I hear. It's put a hard-working man that's got into the plasticine business and formed an innocent cock shapes. I'm so sorry, what does you build? If he wants to sell fucking butt plugs.

Yeah, he's selling a product people want. But put you through school. And my wife has just wandered out. She's, he heard dildos and she's... Tottenham, Tottenham 2. It's... It's spiked their interest. Oh, this is just hell of your bad look and walked away.

I think I'm in trouble here. Am I in trouble? Oh, good. Okay, I got a couple other things to get through before we wrap up. I have to go do a show, too. What do you think of the work of Jackson Pollock? I love Jackson Pollock. You know what I like about Jackson Pollock is he...

Okay, so first of all, he's spacing and his paintings, and there's always something different you can see in there and all the type of stuff. But I also like that everyone can almost do it themselves. Not quite. So you know Jackson Pollard. So we're going to go, the Stone Roses, right?

Those Stone Roses covers, we're all done by the guitarist, right? And so he would do them all like, you know, around that lemon. You know the Stone Roses covers, right? Yes. So that to me is as good as Jackson Pollock. It looks the same to me. but other people, and they reckon for forgeries, he's one of the hardest people to forge because of the way the paint splatters and the way down.

It's very hard to get boardries. But I would say I'm a fan. I am in the pro column for. So I'm bringing this up because one of his pieces just went for 181 million the other day. Jack, I actually sent to you the painting so we can inspect it, Jack. It's a big boy. It's a big boy. You need to have a big house.

You can't be putting it in a studio apartment. At 155 million. Am I adenant? It is stick with you then, Alex. It gets full other bidders and selling the dripping here. The dripping. The dripping. For $155 million, are we short?

Fair warning and selling. Anyway, it ends up going for a hundred. It looks like someone with the Honda virus has just come on a sheet. Well, I wanted to talk to. you about abstract expressionism. Also, just go back, look at the back of the heads here. Look, I'm all for, you know, I don't think we should have forced diversity in this world, but that was a very undiverse crowd of people at the Jackson Pollock.

Well, because I don't think black people would buy into that as being of any value. I don't even think I can see an Asian there. Look, I'm just looking at the back of heads, but it was, it wasn't a mixed group. So I read the story about it, and then there was an article from the cultureist, and I read a couple of other articles about this era of painting being a CIA sci-op in that the CIA had put a lot of money behind this artwork to try and seem superior to the Soviets. And it was a big play that, look at our crazy expressionist artwork, where the center of the, you know, we're the center of the art landscape. and the Soviets are doing their hyper-realistic old-school painting. We're the future. And it says in the 1950s, the CIA secretly funded a group called the Congress for Cultural Freedom,

through which it funneled money to international art shows, magazines, and operated dozens of officers around the globe, all with the goal of promoting American abstract artists as being the future. Even though at the same time, people like Eisenhower said that the art was dog shit, essentially. So at the time, no one was really thinking this was excellent, but they were essentially making this art popular around the world, inflating its prices to say, look at America, we've got the best artists going.

And, you know, every dad on earth probably feels that way. I mean, your dad, no doubt, would look at this painting, like many people look at modern art and things. What the fuck is the talent of that in comparison to... Many years ago, the Australian, I believe the Labor government, bought a piece of Jackson Pollock painting for a million dollars that is now worth $300 million. Yeah, Whitlam in 73, bought Blue Polls for $1.3 million and now it's $350 million.

And when it was purchased, well, they've bought another one since then because I remember my father being angry. So even that, that's a great purchase. That was bought with taxpayers' money for $1.3 million. We did just sell it for one shipment of gas. Right, right. Right now, this sale for $181 million has got to help Australia. I don't know if our currency went up, but we've got a lot of Jackson Pollard.

Well, there was another one that there was bought when they opened up the new Parliament House. My father was so fucking outraged by this purchase, the bloody government stuffing up this country. If Australia's is stuffed as my father has been saying it is since the 19. 80s, right? Australia must just be the slums of Calcutta right now because, because my day, oh, this country's going to the dogs. We fucking bought some shit by artwork. But anyway, so we, he was very unhappy with it, but we made a huge profit off to Jackson Pollock. Now, now here's the next question, right? So if you can go from 1970 at 1.3 million to 300 million, that is a 280% you know, rise in value, right?

it can't keep going up from 100, what did you say, 180 something million? So you're saying, you're saying that this piece of art will now be worth a billion dollars. Well, they're saying present valuation, AUD, 500 million. But it's a very interesting thing because it is always criticized when a government buys artwork. It's a good investment if you buy the right things. So with that being said, does that mean, because I remember El Salvador, remember, they purchased Bitcoin, and that was a big deal at the time. And then when the price exploded, he looked like a, you know, a legend.

What about buying, like imagine if government had bought NFTs or... Baseball cards. You could buy cards for the country. Mr. Wonderful has got a consortium. By the way, Mr. Wonderful in Marty Supreme, he can act. It proved what I always said. Acting's easy. The guy off fucking, the guy of Shark Tank isn't just okay.

He's really good in that. movie. He's playing himself, but he's fucking good. Well, he's certainly acting when he says that his data centers is putting around won't destroy our entire existence. So, yeah. He bought a card for 12 million that he wore to the Oscars around his neck, and it's got a, it's a Jordan Kobe auto. So this is what I wanted to say to you.

If I said to you, I'm the Prime Minister of Australia and I say, Jim, you're into this collectibles world. Yeah, I understand sports coaches. I'm announcing you, I'm announcing you as the special envoy. Sports cars are. in government, we're giving you a billion dollars and you have to try and get a mass return by purchasing collectibles and art, where are you putting the money? If you gave me a billion dollars, I could turn a profit.

I might not be able to turn a profit as good as most, some people, but definitely in the card market, I could turn you a profit with, you know, some Mickey Mantles and stuff like that. There's, you know, the most expensive card in the world hasn't actually been sold. And we reckon it's worth 40 million. And it's just, it's sitting there. There's three of them on earth. The perfect PSA 10 Mickey Mantles. But you don't hear of governments doing this as much anymore of like unique strategies

of investment other than pillaging people for their natural resources. Yeah. There's something about if Australia just said we're going to put our future on top cards. Antiquities, right? It's buying things that we think. or of cultural, you know, relevance that are going to go up in value, that are going to become things that are desired. The Nazis did it.

You know, there hasn't been a good ransacking of cultural artifacts in quite some time. Oh, we should get back into it. Should get back into it. Get fucking. Speaking of antiquities. Fucking what we can and then go to lunch at Applebyes. Speaking of what, just, speaking of that, have you seen the Odyssey trailer? Obviously, people are very angry at Christopher Nolan because Helen of Troy is black now.

Was she not before? Well, she was, uh, no, she was a Greek goddess? Oh, so, so you reckon, you reckon Helena is not a black, black, uh, well, it is funny. Because people are, people are losing their fucking minds and it's like, what's it been 3,000 years and people are still, this bitch is still causing problems all these years later. We overdo things. So what was the one, Exodus or whatever, where they had like, they browned everyone, up. It was the Ridley Scott movie and he used all the white people to play Egyptians.

Yeah. So, you know, there's been, there's been mistakes in both directions is what I'm going to argue for this one. What, like Mickey Rooney is a Japanese man? Chinese. Was it Chinese? I don't know. Just random Asian.

Mickey Rooney is the worst of any of the faces. Mickey Rooney is the worst. Now, now our quarter Japanese friend right here. is just like this. Because he's Chinese or Japanese. And then he's going to come back, Filipino. Because, so I was doing my nerdy research into,

so in the actual Homer text, she's described as Lucilinos and Exante, which is white-armed, wide-armed and fair-haired. And so the reading of it, it's so funny to watch our cultural imprint where people are like, She could have been black because white arm just meant high status because she wasn't working in the fields.

Yeah, but also who cares. So I was never bothered by the Little Mermaid, for example. So Little Mermaid, they made the girl black and they go, The Little Mermaid's not black. Little Mermaid's not black. And I was more upset because her bottom half was a salmon where in the cartoon, she was a tuna. Yes, trans. She was doing salmon legs. And we all know that the salmon goes up the wrong way.

That was them, that was also them gang it up, bloody salmon. It's a subtle thing. It's fucking agenda. It doesn't really bother me because, like, no one got bothered by Bridgeton. And then Bridgeton, black people wouldn't have been hanging out in that era in that way. What have they? No one got upset by that. Well, I was thinking about it.

We have like, we have like a few lines to describe who Helen was from 1190. Okay. Now, I think she's just a regular one. Is she the one that face made a thousand boats come into town? Yes, it's the face that launched a thousand ships is the friends. Away? Was she that ugly? They like, we have to go now.

They launched them. They launched them. They launched them. They launched them. Go and get her back. Remember? Menelaus got his wife stolen by Orlando Bloom? Wait a minute.

So she was so attractive, men left? No, she was so attractive that the Prince of Troy came and fucked her and stole her. And she fell in love with him. And then the Greeks were like, no, no, no, no, no, no. We got to get her back. Oh, so a thousand ships went, oh, we got to get her back. Yes. She would have had some good cheekbones.

She would have been a very good-looking woman. But it's so it means... I hear Netflix are going to let her do a crowd work special. It means it's a fair-skinned, privileged woman who stole a print, ran away with a prince, which is Megan Markle. Yeah, Megan Markle, I don't mind Megan. Megan gets a bit of a rough fucking go of it. I've become a bit more pro-Charles ever since that he did the diplomat work with Trumpy.

He did some good work. Hey, did he see the Trump stocks and bonds? How many times he's been trading? Yeah. Read the stats. I don't have the, I sent them through to you, I don't know where they are now, but basically he bought so much Palantir, the Palantir dipped and he goes, Palantir and they make great military equipment, the best equipment.

He, it, it, it, it, the numbers are insane. I'm going to just read, the kleptocracy that we're living under is, uh, okay, President Trump has traded stocks three thousand seven hundred times in, uh, the first quarter of 2026, averaging 59 trades a day, nine per hour, or one every seven minutes. So essentially every time he has a meeting, every time he meets time. That is fucking, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, he must be sitting down with Prince Charles like this. Oh, I love your country, great people. Oh, we, we should have more men like you. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Just bought some roll blocks.

No, you know what I think happens is every. single time he has a phone call, he's like, one second, patched my stockbroker. His broker listens to every conversation. Just trade on what you hear. These sharpies are good. Oh, buy some shoppies. Like, it's all inside trading. And then even like when, that's why when we had that soldier who actually said they were

going to go to Venezuela and do that and did the thing on Kalshi, he went, eh, the world's a casino. Yeah. Well, I mean, it does seem like weird. Because he can't, you can't pull on that thread. You can't pull on it because then we'll find out that, yeah, fuck, he's sort of fucked. Well, yes, the level of theft is insane and awarding all the contracts to his kids. And it does seem he's like, well, the world's coming to an end.

We're just going to steal what we can. His world's coming to an end. The rest of us are still going to be here. 80-year-olds are got to stop acting what the world ending. The empire's coming to an end. Oh, we can get it back. America can get it back Who's in charge next then?

Who's the next country? None of them seem ready. This is the problem. There you go. This is the end of the American Empire. The Chinese don't seem fucking ready. We went and visited China. They all had little American flags.

They were all standing there on the concrete over the moon. Trump came back from there and said that we need to take 500,000 Chinese students. So so much for American universities or for American kids. You just got bent over by China. Pafanana, he was not. Oh, you know. Because it turns out when you can't knock over Iran, your military power might not be what you thought it was. You don't exactly hold all the big sticks anymore.

Well, I don't think we are what we used to be, but we're still pretty good. You know, we could, we could Ronda Rousey it, come out of retirement and just kick some bitch for fucking 12 seconds. That was, that was a fight. Did you see that one? Yeah. We are, we are Ronda Rousey. We had a glowing period. We worked hard.

We built ourselves into a tough warlike people. Then we got too rich and we had a decay. And we've, we're not what we were, but we still like to project an image like we're still deadly. We are Rhonda Rousey. Yeah, we're Ronda Rousy. I don't mind Ronda Rousey. Money has ruined us all. All right.

I have to get out of here in a second. I was going to finish on one last thing, which was Luigi Mungione. You reckon he's innocent? I don't think he's innocent. I think the police have put together a bad, case for prosecution. Watch this from Fox News. I remember the making of the murderer, right? The making of the murderer,

I still reckon that guy murdered it, but I think he was set up for the... I think he was set up for a murder that he did, and I think this might be what happened here, but let's have a look. ...time, so that we're all on the same page here. What is in and what is out? Yeah, what...

We have more clarification now on what is in and what is out. What is out, what the jury will not learn about. The bullet magazine, that's the magazine that full of bullets that Officer Christy Wasser found wrapped in wet underwear, because that was found in the backpack at McDonald's. The backpack was nine feet away at another table, placed there by a police officer. Therefore, Judge Carroll found that was not in the control of Mangione, and that wasn't a legal search,

because there was no search warrant at that time for that backpack. The cell phone that he had, his passport, his wallet, and a computer ship that, Christy Wasser, police officer Wasser, found at the McDonald's. She then takes the backpack an 11 minute or so ride to the police station. He's arrested. They start going through the backpack. She finds the gun. She finds a diary.

That will be allowed in. The red diary will be allowed in and the weapon will be allowed in. The judge in his ruling points out that the diary was opened, that police officers for inventory purposes, photographed every page of the diary as they took that in. So obviously, the judge has ruled that that was a legal search at the police station, which include those items. So that's why we're basically saying, I think John Alden Turley is right. It's kind of a half victory, half win. Something's out, but most importantly, it appears now that the diary will be allowed in and the weapon, the nine

millimeter gun that police say was used to all right well that that should be enough that should be enough the diary in the weapon everything everything else if I'm defending Luigi Mangiani in court I would say so you why was his backpack nine feet away from him you expect us to believe that police

went through a backpack found a magazine wrapped in wet underwear a magazine from a gun and did not see a nine millimeter pistol at the same time and only when you got the legal requirement to search, did you find that gun later on back at the...

You're telling me that you didn't see the gun in the backpack or take the gun when you had no right to search the bag. Haven't you ever lost your passport just in your bag? And gone, where the fuck that are this? There's so many little pockets and things these days with backpacks. Oh, no, no. Yeah, yeah, I'm fucking...

That little bit at the back that's meant to hold your laptop has a little bit... No, no, I'm going to go, yes. It's got a, well, you think there's a false bottom there? It was under a banana skin. I lose fucking shit all the time. Like, like, let's be honest. So Luigi's backpack would have mostly been wax strips for eyebrows, right?

Would have been a big box of that. And it could have been underneath that. Is it what eyebrow? So we're going to tell you here. It's eyebrow wax strip. Have you looked at this man's eyebrows? Crucifixes and lasagna in a Tupperware container. That's what you think, is it?

And some canoli? Yeah, underneath the canollies, the eyebrow wax, the fucking not knowing anything about football, even though you're Italian, all that stuff. So that's true. Here comes again. Here comes me, my wife. She's up there. We can see you in the reflection of the things.

I don't come out naked because we can see you in the reflection of that. This is truly the stuff of horror. Tottenham, who's to Chelsea, Arsenal are Premier League champions? You're going to take your own clothes off because your friend wants to wear. it to a wedding so you can't get stains on your own clothes. That's what you're doing. All right. Well, the whole world's heard that in the podcast.

I'm glad you've got a busy day. Imagine if I walked up the stairs and turned to my wife and went, Amos is going to wear this t-shirt in two weeks, so I've got to take it off so I don't get any stains on it. That actually makes sense. Yeah, yeah, but she'd think I was a simpleton. That's my point. I would say it, but she'd go, all right.

We're doing a high-caliber internet radio program here, Taze. You give us some fucking respect. Your sartorial fucking decisions. Do you not come into our, eat it out, chat. She's going to the wedding. Okay, so the big things are happening, right? So my wife is on a TV show called House of Anubis. House of Inubis has an avid following of people who are really mad for this show.

I'm going to say something down the internet that people don't know. One of the characters is getting married. and all of the cast will be there at once. There will be photos. So for you House of Enuvres people, if I can get your juices flowing. It's all going to happen. So what happened to Tottenham now?

Well, it's going to come down to the final day for us. We two points ahead of West Ham. We have one game to go. So if we lose and West Ham win. You're fine. You're fine. But Arsenal are Premier League champions. All you need, you've also got a goal difference.

All you need is to draw. They win a new draw. Congratulations to any of the Arsenal fans out there devastating for another When you want to have a shit You wipe your arsenal Goodbye everybody It's been a pleasure to have you back Jim

What have me back? I was only gone for a fucking week What did you have a different co-host Did you bring another co-host in did you? I needed the week off I was dying of Hunter legitimately I still do I feel like shit, dude.

I really, you look bad. I think I look alright. What do you think of the moustache? What do you think of the moustache? Well, this is the whole thing. You know my joke about the shaving the hitler's notion? Guess what I'm doing tonight? Well, if we had it, I'm going to do, I don't have to do, I don't have to do,

so I don't have to do the school run. I can't have to do the school run when I got the Hitler moustache. I get to sleep in. I think that's why Hitler did it. Sign up to our free Patreon. I think Hitler did the Hitler so you could have some time to himself. All right.

That is what's happening this week, Pye Lover. We will see you again on the road or on the internet. Good night, Pye Lover.
