Hello, Bugles! And welcome to issue 4105 of the Bugle. I am Andy Zoltzman, which is about the only thing I can state with any level of certainty in the world these days.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Or is it, I'm not even sure about that anymore, that might be others, but so hard to say. This week's show was recorded at the Brighton Podcast Festival in Brighton on Friday 12th of April 2019. If you like this show or indeed any of the other up to 397 full episodes of The Bugle you could have listened to and want to voluntarily subscribe financially go to the BuglePodcast.com and click the donate button. Right, let's get started with the show from Brighton. We join the action with me and his ultimate welcoming Alice Fraser from Melbourne, Australia via the magical witchcraft of the internet. Here we go. Please welcome Alice Fraser!
Starting point is 00:01:38 Hello Alice. Hello Andy. Hello Bugleys. How are you? Andy, hello, bugleers, how are you? Alice is down the other end of this web because why everybody wave Alice? She is... You're all so beautiful, hello. Don't judge them on their looks. Alice, judge them as people. I can't see the faces, I just mean emotionally. They're not pieces of emotional meat.
Starting point is 00:02:04 I've been doing the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, so any large crowd of enthusiastic people who don't hate me on site is a bonus. It is show last night of Friday night in Melbourne to people who had no idea who I was and they looked at me not even like angry just like I was a penguin like What's she trying to do? Well, so a range of 13,000 miles. We'll have to try and make sure this goes better than that. So um Right Alice is reporting from tomorrow. So how's How's the future
Starting point is 00:02:45 Yeah, it's good. Although if we're going on Friday night shows, this is going to go terribly, Andy. Yeah, I should, I should be in synagogue right now. Shouldn't I technically, I'll resurcompose myself after the gig. Just my right. Helping grow back, Andy. Does it have a problem? Right, let's move on.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Top Story this week. Top Story this week. Well, there's only one place to start here in Brexit Britain and that is with our Brexit potential crisis. We've been awarded six bonus months of additional bickering, naval gazing and absolutely f*** all being done. We continue to defy all science by achieving simultaneous total chaos and total inaction. F*** you, Newton. You have been owned. Yes, Andy. In the great British tradition of making traditions out of pointless grinding and borderline degrading experiences, Brexit continues to win its endless way through the winding bylands of indiscriminate political
Starting point is 00:04:05 flacidity. Never has so much hot air lifted so few balloons. Oh, that is a beautiful phrase. And to be honest, Alice, what time is it in Melbourne right now? It's now 6.03 a.m. I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning and I went to sleep at 1 o'clock in the morning, so I am saying hi. So to achieve that level of coherence in no circumstances, that is truly heroic. So, um, that's all I've ever wanted Andy, good considering the circumstances. That's what this show has always been about. Well, what is going to happen next is nothing. We're in a bizarre, we're in a sort of shredding as Brexit situation at the moment where we're
Starting point is 00:05:00 I think maybe that's the ideal compromise, just a permanent shredding as Brexit. Mae'n gwaith yw'r cympromais, yn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymdyn ymd deadline. I guess you can understand why more and more people have MPs have come behind her deal because I guess the closer you get to the ground, the more tempting it is to use that parachute made of lettuce. Because, you know, why the f*** not? And I mean, now and Missy, we're now in a situation where we've already just bounced off the ground back into the air. And we now just want to lessen the impact of our second landing, but the point, the point stand. And people have said, you know, it's not really her fault. I mean, yeah, I mean, it's not her fault with this impossible task that is she has failed to drive the Robin Reliance of our national destiny to the top of Kilimanjaro, but it is at least partially her fault that she has crashed that Robin Reliance 12 times into the same ditch
Starting point is 00:06:04 just outside Croydon on the A23 heading south towards Africa. Now, I was mostly Australian reaction to the Brexit delay being, you know, I mean, he's ever one excited that we might come back and relaunch empire. I think we're hoping we'll get a better deal on visas to the UK. Right. And that's about it. I think we do quite enjoy watching England make fools of themselves, whether it's in cricket or politics. What do you might get both this year? But generally this sort of the nature of political polarization is that people start taking their cues from countries that have no irrelevance. I used to do social media for a television show in Australia, and the number of people
Starting point is 00:06:59 who were like, Trump is coming for you. I imagine that the current social media girl is getting Brexit's coming for you, even though it's completely irrelevant. We don't really have a national identity, Andy. It's just kangaroos. I don't like it on the plus side. We're all just dust in the wind of history anyway. So it's interesting, the reaction to the Brexit delay from the European media and the world media in Germany.
Starting point is 00:07:28 This was an article from Manfreder Schnitzelhaus, who is the Politiker's good correspondent from the National newspaper, the Schnoutspeeler National Shafton Ggroizen Gepäper. English language paper. She said Britain is indulging in a display of national naval gazing, not seen since General Franco made the entire population of Spain gather in a field outside Salamanca to watch a pile of oranges slowly rot. It's a naval joke there, just... I'm not sure, but I did naval gazing. I think it's more performing open stomach surgery on ourselves and trying to read the future of mastil twitching entrails.
Starting point is 00:08:12 From France, the economist Omblumatic de Boulogier-Rac, writing in the Parisian day La Vlurios Ballionneurs des évors, et des réelites globularist. British politics is still chasing its own tail. Only to remember that it has already caught and eaten its own tail. So it's then vomiting its tail back up, sticking it back on its own ass with cellar tape, chasing it again, eating it again, eating the tape and the traces of puke as well,
Starting point is 00:08:37 chundering all that back up and saying, my tail hurts, and then blaming Europe for not feeding it a balanced diet. This headline from the Finland Today newspaper, stick floating in lake police aware. Russia's, Russia's, one of Russia's national newspapers, Giovanni Diattel, woodpecker today, state-run newspaper, he says, this is going very well. And the Syrian daily, the Dama scene Gazette, said it is the ordinary people of Britain,
Starting point is 00:09:21 we feel most sorry for, caught in the middle of an unnecessary destructive political conflict that has been allowed to escalate through a combination of short-termism and arrogance and now has no satisfactory solution. PASS BORTS This is a very exciting... We got new passports this week. They've excised the words European Union from new passports this week. They've they've excised the words European Union from from our passports and Obviously after Brexit we won't need passports
Starting point is 00:09:50 We'll go back to the old system where we just turn up around the world with a copy of the Magna Carta Waggle it in people's faces and scream if it wasn't for us you'd still be speaking Roman But it's quite interesting on people's home to people are so passionate about the British passport. What exactly, when you look at the British passport, that image there, we've got a lion and a unicorn. What more appropriate image for Brexit Britannia, an animal that last lived here about 40,000 years ago, and an animal that has never existed does not currently exist and only has any hope of existing in future with significant international cooperation in the scientific field.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Yeah, if it were going to be scientifically real, it would be one of those things that male scientists would be very good at finding. Family show, Alice. Family show. It's got some great... I was just talking about how unicorns are lorded in by virgins. Sorry. Sorry. Oh, I got it.
Starting point is 00:10:57 I just didn't like it. Cool. Very much like Brexit itself. Then we got some great traditional British phrases on the passport, Dje, Imon, Doa. A great British phrase. God and my right of deity, we've largely given up on an a sense of entitlement, again seems bizarrely appropriate.
Starting point is 00:11:19 And then this is actually Old English, I don't even see that there. Oni, often mispronounced, Ony Swaki, Mali Pors. Actually, it's an old English phrase pronounced honnetsuit, quid mali pence, serchiorsyrian English, and it translates roughly as honey, cit. I'll give you a quid, male, yes, penis. Oh.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Oh. Right. BELL RINGS Breaking news. The government has just called a snap Olympics. Right! Alice, we're now finished opening sexing. It's incomprehensible massiveness of the universe news now and Alice, you're the bugles universe correspondent, some exciting news from the world of black holes. Yes indeed, Andy, the first ever real picture of a black hole has been revealed, people
Starting point is 00:12:20 are hailing it and as an historic moment for science. And of course, the world being what it is, people have immediately politicized this 54 million light-year away problem. Because the fact that a woman did the algorithm that helped us to see the whole and people have immediately judged her for not having a high resolution, enough picture of this thing, that is 54 million light years away and literally cannot be seen by the human art. Well, and also coincidentally 54 million years is when on current progress there will be gender pay equality. So it seems kind of appropriate. So here's a picture of it. What a sensational black hole
Starting point is 00:13:01 that is. Easily, it's a vast chasm of nothingness that pulls in all matter, light and energy to quote my own online dating profile. And various reviews in Sir Your Own Brexit joke here. What exactly is a black hole, Alice? Well, that's a question to be determined, Andy, but it's a place where it sucks in all the light and everything. 6.5 billion times more mass than the sun,
Starting point is 00:13:35 the venturize in possibly if you look into it, you see a big guy looking back. Right, because some scientists actually claim it is the last festees of a dying God. For example, what we see in that picture might actually be the swirling vortex created by the last slurps of milk taken by Bastet, the Egyptian cat goddess, or it could be the imploding butthole of Zeus. We just don't know. So how much do you have a juice to show about the Exploding Path of the Pseud? Oh, it mines. 6.5 billion times heavier than the sun. This black hole. I mean, they better even publish the photo
Starting point is 00:14:14 and already the tabloids are body-shaming it. And it's just the way the world, isn't it? Well, not the world. 54 million light years away, this thing, and yet I still feel closer to it emotionally and spiritually than I do to Jacob Reesmog. And the MP for West caricature. And it is big enough to swallow entire tire stars, but won't eat its cause yet Just can't get it to eat cause yet nothing nothing Um, there's one for any parents out there
Starting point is 00:14:54 Do you have any more black hole news Alice? I did but it got sucked through a vortex Well, let's move on instead then to... ...condom news now. Alice, you are the Bugles' prophylactic technology correspondent. Yes, I am, Andy, in exciting news now, PR people are surprisingly bad at their jobs because they have invented a condom as a publicity initiative that requires four hands to open and they threw that out on the market to start a conversation about consent and most people started a conversation about how shit they were at their jobs. What I mean what happens if there are only three hands at the table or one hand?
Starting point is 00:15:42 You know, you can't judge, and also the whole idea being that this is going to, this is gonna incentivize potential rapists to get extra hands in on the, it's like doing a room, like you're already, when you're having sex, it's complicated enough to figure out what's going on without a Rubik's cube to solve. There are other devices, I mean, it is clearly produced
Starting point is 00:16:09 against pirates and certain clerics. But there are other devices available to ensure consent in sexual incoherent cases. There are other devices that are available to ensure consent in sexual incursion. The idea is you've got to have two hands to... But there are other devices that are available to ensure consent in sexual encounters or encounters, whichever way you want to go. Those devices to ensure consent include the human brain, a basic sense of right and wrong, and the law.
Starting point is 00:16:41 But I guess if you don't have access to those and the consent condom could be good for you. a fwy yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'r yw'rmru'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddoddau'r ddau'r ddau' a gentleman will be expected to frunkle his drongle rod into a lady's googruch so that his spermatids can sex-gociate the filopiated trubes and eventually imperflate the overreg whilst crushing and increasingly crimson shade of beetroot before jumping into a cupboard, slamming the door shut and shouting, but where the way of the boob? No good couldn't possibly come of it! Now get out there and play some rugby until this filth is out of your system. And the only other thing we did for sexhead at my school was every year on the 21st of June, the night of the summer solstice.
Starting point is 00:18:01 We would build a 100-foot wicker statue of Margaret Thatcher. And in it, we would sacrifice the school's horniest boy. There we go. I mean, that is still better than my birds and the bees talk that I got from my dad. Which was what? He sat me down and he said, Alice, I trust your judgment, you'll know right from wrong. What do you do with that? Not bang anyone for 20 years, that's what you do.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Right, moving on now, too. Equedorian Embassy mayhem news now and Alice, your are Ecuador correspondent. Yes, a reluctant, multi-burned slash Julian Assange has been dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy giving birth to a million memes. Let's get some, here we have this is Julian before and after. I don't know if you can spot the difference there. That's sat him there, Julian Assange, after his arrest yesterday, demonstrating the grip for left arm outswinger. I mean I guess when you spend seven years locked in a house, you're going to work on that kind of thing, aren't you?
Starting point is 00:19:37 It certainly raises questions about what is inside the Ecuadorian embassy, because it looks like he's been living in a cave. Well, it's interesting. We'll get a touch on this in a sec. I'll just quickly do because he's going to repeat that sign there. Now, does anyone know anyone else who's made a similar sign to that? Anyone? Let's have a look. Jesus. So the question is, look at that, is Julian Assange actually a Messiah? And the answer is no. Well, that is typical modern skepticism that is why so many genuine Messiahs have fallen by the wayside for my people over the years.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Let's look at the evidence. Initials, J.A. Julian Assange, also actually Jesus' birth initials, because his dad's real surname was Adonai, which is the Hebrew word for God. I remember that much. And I say remember, I mean, had to check on the internet. Christ was his mother's maiden name of course. Took it as a rebellious teenager because he fell out with his absentee dad. Well my favorite part of this Ecuadorian embassy eviction news is that people are
Starting point is 00:20:59 wondering whether it was a legal challenge or just the fact that Julia Sange was a brat. They did almost $14 million a year protecting him and they embassy staff complain to him. Skateboarding at night, playing loud music and walking around in his underwear. Skateboarding, I mean, is, I mean, that is not what you expected to hear in that list. Obviously, the other thing, meddling in Ecuador's relations with other countries, good to have a hobby. Someone's got to do it. Ecuador isn't even meddling in its own relations as far as I can make out.
Starting point is 00:21:31 They listed nine reasons why they'd withdrawn asylum Ecuador. But they did not include the release of files from their Democrats. So they got nine problems, but the snitch ain't one. Oh. Oh. Ah. Too soon. So meddling, rude behaviour, I mean he is Australian, so what can you expect?
Starting point is 00:21:55 Playing football in the embassy, that's a basic human right. But skateboarding, this is what the Ecuadorian, this is the official statement from the Ecuadorian embassy, Mr. Assange caused considerable discomfort among the staff of the embassy with his ceaseless practising of his backside heel flip. He indeed knocked over a pot of coffee when his nose blunt side into pivot fakie combination went wrong, not for the first time we might add, and if we have one more asylum seeker staying in our Embassy who wipes out our daffodils trying a ginger snap, a 360 dragon flip or even a pop shove it, then frankly we'll just give up. There is a time in a place for unnecessary altitude,
Starting point is 00:22:25 and that is any time in Ecuador, not at T-time in our Embassy in London. Pop shove it incidentally, as I'm sure you know, a Jewish festival. Oh. commemorating when Moses turned the Red Sea into a half pipe. I mean... seen to a half pipe. I mean. That was a fun train journey down from London today. And it's all well and good making up skateboarding quotes, but here is an actual direct quote from the statement of President Lenin Moreno who said, from now on, we'll be more careful in giving asylum to people who are really worth it and not miserable hackers. I just like the idea of Julian Assange being told to smile more.
Starting point is 00:23:15 But, good further evidence that he is in fact a Messiah, Julian Assange, I'll say the initials, J.A. Also, both men at a beard, clearly. Both prone to disappearing for a long time and then showing up again. Both white men, famously Jesus, I mean, look at it. Look at it, I'm an astral, I think it was from Crawley originally. Neither fans of Skrillex, both victims of questionable legal process, although almost certainly guilty.
Starting point is 00:23:49 It's building up and both, of course, absolute long-term havoc in American politics. So it's absolutely uncanny. So he is facing extradition to the USA in up to five years in jail. And I guess the question for us here in Britain is, should we be extradition to the USA in up to five years in jail. And I guess the question for us here in Britain is, should we be extraditing anyone to a lawless basket case of a country where they cannot be assured a fair trial? Okay, not technically a joke, more a factual question.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Um. The world is a world of war! In Angry Bird News, now a Queensland town is being haunted by an aggressive brawler, which if you don't know, is it's a elegant waterfowl with the delicate poise of a ballet dancer and the beak of an aggressively animated ice pick. So this brawler is called Barry because everything in Queensland is called Barry by law, and it turned up in a small town around three months ago after fires in the region presumably moved him from his original birdie home.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Every day he runs up and down the main street where he visits the local library, butcher general store, and caravan park. And he was initially welcomed by the Grateful Town town's folk like a feathery cowboy in an old western movie, but he started to wear out their tolerance with his aggressive behavior and constant challenging of people to jewels at noon. Award-a-bird experts as the abundance of food in the town could be making him aggressive. An urban ecology expert, Darrell Jones says the Brawlger's behavior was unusual but not surprising.
Starting point is 00:25:28 He's just quote, wondering around as a newly free teenage Brawlger with his black t-shirt listening to heavy metal music and hanging out in the mall. He says the best thing to do is ignore the bird. And hopefully he'll move on again, like a teenager. How many of the, it's, it is our brawl goes a big, a big problem just wandering around the streets of Australia? Well, they're about this tall, so yes, they are by definition a big problem and they will just grab you. They'll just have a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, aada bada. Right. It's like a giant chicken with a snake for a neck and dinosaur legs that'll kick your guts out. But more delicate than the cassowary, which is like a giant chicken with a snake for neck, with giant dinosaur legs that'll kick your guts out, and also different from the imu,
Starting point is 00:26:21 which is like a giant turkey with a snake from it. Um, and I mean, how, I mean, how different exactly is the brawler from, for example, the Flamingo, which, um, it's clearly a bird you have deep personal psychological issues with? Well, yeah, I mean, the Flamingo is a f***ing pretentious pink asshole. Like, it's just, it's got the hooky nose of a French connoisseur and the weird, did you know it like vomits up a cottage cheese into its children's mouth? Like, that's a good thing. Like, why would you do that? A brawler is an elegant, grey, live and beautiful creature that just occasionally harasses people in Queensland, all of which I am for.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Actually, I've just got some breaking news coming through. That brawler has just become Prime Minister of Australia. Every human being has had a go at it. Now Alice Ophelia has been locked by one of its rugby stars. Yes Australian rugby player Israel Falao could be sacked by Australia rugby team for his God hates gaze attitude. This is the thing, but he's done this before. He's coming out against vaccination.
Starting point is 00:27:49 He's coming out against gay people. And then it always happens at this time of year. And like as a young person, I would occasionally go to Jewish events at my grandmother's house and there was a saying next year in Israel and I'm sure you're familiar with it. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Yeah, very observant too. I feel like it started to become a fun tradition in this part of the world that every year Israel Falaos says something that displays an almost entire incomprehension of logic science and the political temperature of the public moment. Robby Australia's release of statement on Thursday saying it plans to terminate Falaos contract. He put something up on his Instagram saying, hell awaits for gay people unless they repent of their sins. And it's just like, I think it's a nice reflection on how much he's been training that he's missed the last 50 or
Starting point is 00:28:38 60 years of political progress. That is literally the best thing I can put on it. He put out this by saying warning, Drunk's homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolaters, hell awaits you, repent only Jesus saves. And it's the third time he's had to go at the LGBTQI community. And also, I mean, it doesn't always,
Starting point is 00:29:03 but he has previously had to go at the DLF-ATAI community as well for all the Drunk's adulterers, like, for what I can't say, he's eight this and idolaters. And he quoted St. Paul's letter to the Galatians.
