Starting point is 00:00:00 Look, we aren't really here to talk about the technology industry. I just really, I really wanted to get the lowdown from you guys. There's nobody else. I wanted the lowdown on the woman smashes glass bridge with Boulder gate than you guys. Because I know you're really plugged in to that kind of thing. You're like into the parapolitics of the women smashing bridges with boulders. We should be explained. If you haven't been on Quora, it's pretty much like woman smashes glass bridge with boulder, the website.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Everything on there is a different made-up terrorist event that you have to navigate through. Oh, yeah. I love the way people ask questions on Quora. It's very like, like people will ask this little questions like a four-year-old would ask. Like, who would win in a fight out of China and America? And then people who claim to have like a PhD will go about answering this question seriously. I'm like, incredible website. It's a major dopamine rush for people who need to have their accreditation validated.
Starting point is 00:00:59 So, like, but if you've done some kind of, like, security work, you can log in and be like, I'm actually an operator myself. Ghosts are real. They're a persistent threat. I've seen many of them myself, and I've dispatched a few. But the difference also is that it's a website for writing, right? So, like, a lot of those guys are then like, and you should read my book. And by my book. Police officer fights ghosts.
Starting point is 00:01:20 There's 400 pages I've written on this already. Yeah, I mean, what I also noticed when I did quarrators, I don't know, Milo was saying, have you guys done quarryators? Have you guys done Quarators? I have, yeah, a long time ago. Yeah. So when I did Quarators, I also noticed that a lot of the questions seem to be like people setting up erotic fiction for others to participate in. This is correct.
Starting point is 00:01:40 And it does get kind of ruined half the time because it is an open format website. And so you get people logging on being like, what kind of sick pervert would wash his own step sister? And the answer below is like, I would wash her. And it's a whole long story. So it's kind of like jerking off in a room with civilians who don't intend to be there. So look, let's get to the chorus. You've got quas, we've got answers.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Or maybe we do, maybe we don't. Okay, I did my best to find England-related quas. I always try to make a loose theme out of it, but it's hard people because they really tend to go back to the same few places over and over again. This is our first quora we have found for the Trash Future podcast. I'm putting it in the chat now, and I will read it out loud for the benefit of listeners. The question is, was King John really the nasty evil villain as portrayed in Robin Hood? Were he and Richard III the two most evil depraved nasty monarchs ever? Or is it all just
Starting point is 00:02:38 too one-sided? All right. So was King John the most nasty, nasty evil villain is portrayed in Robin Hood? I mean, Milo Hussein, you're like, you've been British longer than I have. Yeah, we're at a higher level of XP than you in terms of being British. Yeah, you're kind of like a I wouldn't ask Riley about King John. He probably wouldn't know. He'd be two one-sided. He thinks it's a bathroom guy. He gave him a dollar.
Starting point is 00:03:05 You can only picture that cartoon lion from Disney. He doesn't know. Canadias come over here. Don't even respect to Magna Cote. They think that the king ought to be able to set taxes without consulting the barons. I've never even been to Ronnie Mead. I bet he's been to the Runny Mead Trust for he's been to Ronnie Mead. That's a joke
Starting point is 00:03:23 for British people. There you go. Even I don't know what the Rodney Mead Trust is. I like that the first answer here is by someone who has really, really trying very hard to do a good job. Yeah. Who's just, he's James Huffington, BA and History, University of Worcester, graduated 2017. I've heard about the Huffington Post, but this is ridiculous. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I would just also like to comment to explain again, if you do not go on Quora. Everyone puts their full name and, like, address on here. So after you think, we docks people constantly on our show. Our show is pretty much just an open doxing stream that we do where we, we're now on his account. We're on the James Huffington account. Yeah, I won't do it on your show, I suppose, but it does say, like, exactly where he lives. Let's just say he's near the Trash Future Studio. Here are aerial photos of my house.
Starting point is 00:04:12 So you know I'm a real guy. Here's a list of my weaknesses in possible blackmail. Here's my daily routine. Yeah. So this person, what he really wants and what they really want to know is, was Robin Hood, Now, when he says Robin Hood or when they say Robin Hood, do they mean the Fox Robin Hood or do they mean men in tights or they mean another Robin Hood? Like what Robin Hood film are they talking about?
Starting point is 00:04:34 Because like, wasn't King John and the Robin Hood was like a lion or? He was a lion. He was a cowardly lion, I might add. And you're not saying he was a liar. You're not saying like, oh, he was a lion. I honestly don't remember the events of the film well enough to describe him as a liar or not. But they want to know if it's one-sided. They want to know if he's getting a bad go.
Starting point is 00:04:54 This post was written, I'm guessing, about five years ago, which I reckon the closest and most relevant Robin Hood media title would be the 2010 Robin Hood with Russell Crow. You're exactly right. This was written August 2nd, 2020. Yes, the new metal Robin Hood. Oh, yeah, they were like, all right, I haven't been able to go outside in five months.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Time to get some answers. Yeah, finally. Time to get to the bottom of this King John thing. It's locked down. They're going through old movies. They're like, let's give this Robin Hood movie a spin. I'm sure King John comes out of it well. What I really like is, if you scroll down, one of my favorite answers on this one is from Joanne Larner, a registered osteopath from 1996 to present, who has a degree in French.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Thank you, Joanne. Answering a question, do you think there's anything wrong with King Richard III beyond his appearance? And he said there was nothing wrong with his super official appearance when he was dressed, apart from one shoulder higher than the other? Oh. Yeah, you should have gone to see an osteopath about that. Yeah. Yeah, she could have saved him. Yeah, he had scoliosis, but this would have only been apparent when unclosed and didn't prevent him for leading a normal life and being a badass warrior.
Starting point is 00:06:06 In fact, his scoliosis may have even made him more likely to be as virtuous and pious as possible. So this is like someone who, this is like King Richard put like, I don't know, two pounds into a trust to like eventually hire a public relations and the F in relation. S in relations is like an F firm to repair his image on Quora. Well, because famously Richard the third of the Battle of Bosworth, he fell off of his horse and he said, oh no, my horse, my back, my back really
Starting point is 00:06:33 hurts because I felt off my horse, my kingdom for an osteopath. I think that was what he said. Yeah, oh God, I just need one of those TikTok quack chiropractors to do like the treatment where they like wrap a towel around my neck and yank my head off. Exactly. I don't know if you see this. My like YouTube
Starting point is 00:06:48 Shorts for you page is full of videos of chiropractors doing a treatment that, I think of the scientific name of the treatment is the quote, ring dinger, which is where they wrap a towel around your neck and yank your head as hard as they can't. Whoa. Jesus Christ. The American Medical Association is just not approved of the ring dinger. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I've received treatment. It's known as the humdinger. It's where you have a spinal adjustment that is given to the application of force through a baseball bat to the side of my head. Well, you haven't even seen like the Chinese, well, the Chinese chiropractice is really something else because they do like the humdinger was it the humdinger so that was called the ring dinger the humdinger but then they finish it by um like this this this very ancient technique where they drop a boulder on your head no that's what these that's what those
Starting point is 00:07:34 women on the bridges were doing they were just trying to adjust their own spines do not try it's well it works yeah when the when the chiropractor walks in and it's a retund older woman holding a boulder above their head you're like oh no oh come to the wrong place again yeah let's let's come to a conclusion here. Was Richard the 3rd and King John, were they the most evil English kings in history? Look, I'll say, you don't see
Starting point is 00:07:59 King John or Richard the 3rd in the Epstein list. You don't. You don't see them. Good point. Yeah. They never had sex with children. Yep. They're not on the flight logs, you know, so I don't think we can, I think we have to say they may have been bad, but they weren't there, which automatically means that they're not the worst. I mean, Richard the 3
Starting point is 00:08:15 was found in a car park, which suggests he may have been a nonce, but we can't be 100% sure. All right. Do you feel as though you have a satisfactory answer? Can we say that we've answered the question for Who asked this one?
Starting point is 00:08:28 Who asked this one? It was Huffington, correct? No, no. That was the page. The guy who asked it was Edward Daly. It's his one question ever. This is its only question. He has 285 answers.
Starting point is 00:08:40 This is Jeremy's specialty as he hunts the questioners. Well, I do like to... That was all he needed to know. Yeah. He's happy now. Yeah. The stats on Quora are arguably the best bit. Like James Huffington here has 3,200 answers.
Starting point is 00:08:57 He's answered 3,200 Quora questions. What is this man's job? How does he have the time? That's so much work. No, I mean, there are guys who, like, you know, they sort of have spent so long, like, as Wikipedia editors, right? I don't think it's, like, that far removed. It's like, I do wonder, I wonder whether you guys have an opinion on this,
Starting point is 00:09:16 whether, like, have you ever sort of come across, like, mega Quora answers who are like, yeah, actually we're smarter than the people who work at Wikipedia? Like, is it, like, is there, like, beef between the core, like, the Cora big kind of answers and, and, like, the Wikipedia editists? Quora exists in a class society. As we all do. As do we all. But it is not immune from that. When you get onto it and you find the big accounts, they will have longer answers with more upvotes. And you'll get to the bottom and they'll start to grail.
Starting point is 00:09:46 and fade out and those answers are locks behind quora plus you have to pay extra if you want to see the good advice so if you have a disease and you're like i have a lump on my neck what is it and there's like a good answer like you got to pay for that the rest of people are just like you're fine
