Welcome to Buntavista episode 57. I'm almost 100% sure it's episode 57. I'm Andrew. I'm here with Lucy. Hi. Hi Lucy, how are you? Hi, Lucy. How are you? Hi, good. How are you? How are you? I'm good. I'm not even doing a setup this week.
I'm not even doing a thing. I'm not even doing a scenario. Wow. We also got Theo. Hi Theo.
Hello. And we're joined by a guest for the first time in a little while. We are joined by the one
lonely Ed Zitron. Hello. Thank you for saying my name correctly too. I've been clinching
The past few seconds waiting to...
I'm almost curious about how one gets it wrong.
Zitron, Zetron is a favorite, Zetron, I don't fucking get it. There's an eye.
Zetroen. Very rarely. I got Zetron once. That was just fucking, just fucking lazy at that point.
Well, I always, um, I always spell my name out for people, like on the phone, my last name,
which is law.
And I spell that because people just get it, get it wrong constantly.
I don't know if it's an Australian accent thing.
I always have to say L.A otherwise people go into like L-O-R-E, people think I'm saying long or loan, anything but...
Literally the words you're trying to say.
Just a three-letter word.
Just a three-letter word.
So Ed, Ed is in PR.
Public relations.
And somebody's been having a great week of public relations and that is someone we were
talking about last week, a friend of the show, Elon Musk.
My close personal friend.
Strange Libertarian unit, Elon Musk, or whatever whatever political alignment he's giving himself this week on Twitter.
I don't know.
It was libertarian and socialist.
He's a socialist.
But he doesn't believe in socialism or anything that's vaguely socialist.
Yeah, it's confused by that one.
It's like being Jewish by race but not, not actually.
Yeah, exactly.
He didn't choose the socialist life.
He chose him.
He just thinks that free market solutions are the best way to get socialized health care.
Yeah.
Yeah. Assigned socialist at birth.
Oh, nice. Is that an Australian thing. Oh no.
Is that an Australian thing?
Oh no, that's a, that's a gender thing.
Oh, oh.
Problematic, Andrew.
Oh, oh.
Good nickname.
Yakes.
Problematic Andrew.
Good start.
I'm so excited to have Ed on.
Like, we, to hear all about like the quaint
like cultural things in America that are going on like I mean you were just
saying off pod Ed that you don't really understand what the big hullabaloo
about the mascot for the Cleveland Indians is. Yeah. I mean would I have gone
with Bertie the racist first choice? Probably not.
But, more of thought about it, you know what?
He is indicative of the culture of Ohio.
Hmm.
Yeah, that's fair.
And plus, you know, once something's been the same for a while, you can't really change.
You can't change things.
You can't just change the thing.
The thing about the 10 commandments.
Yeah. set in stone. Yeah, yeah. Little thing with the Ten Commandments. Yeah, that's what I thought.
QED. No amendments to the Ten Commandments. So yeah, we were talking about Elon last week in
the context of the Thai cave rescue, which took place, there was a bit of a bit of particularly
psychotic commentary going on about that in Australia, which we covered at the time.
But we also very helpfully recorded right before Elon started getting really mad and calling people Pido's online.
Which I guess... It's so fucking funny. It's so funny. I was so funny. I was so, I just, I can't, it's just so fucking stupid.
Well, we already had, we already had the whole thing of like, why, why will this, you know,
tech billionaire not stop replying to people on Twitter? That was already an issue.
Yeah. Like, he just wouldn't stop just getting down in the muck and trying to defend himself
to any random person, which was already ridiculous.
It was already like, um, already like Notch the Minecraft guy, where it's like, he got billions
of dollars, you're dating Amber Hurd and Grums and everything.
Wait, oh, thought for a second you were going to say that Amber Herd was dating Notch.
Same, I was very confused a second you were going to say that Amber Heard was dating Notch.
Same, I was very confused.
That would have been fucking hilarious.
That would have, that would have made my year.
Is the Amberhead ditches Johnny Depp, was it?
Yes, yes.
Dates notch.
And moves up a notch.
Ugh.
Just as racist. 30 times the size. up a notch. Ahhhh. God, Johnny Depp's.
Just as racist, 30 times the size.
Johnny Depp's looking, not great.
Looking great.
He's looking bad.
He's looking like a corpse.
He's looking a little corpseish.
Just a little corpseish, which I respect, but I don't respect him. Well, speaking of like, I don't get the Elon Musk defenders online in the same way
that apparently, I only realized recently that there's like, because of course there is.
There's a whole, there's a whole sphere of like Johnny Depp stands.
Oh yeah.
Why? Yeah, I was like, why?
It's like, how, I'm trying to imagine, you know, someone who is like 20 years old being
like, I'd die for Johnny Depp.
I get that more than Elon Musk.
Why would you die for Johnny Depp?
He's not even like, if you want someone that looks like that, just go to your nearest
gem shop.
Yeah.
But well, that's what I want French Stuart, but slightly more attractive.
Yeah.
Like, French Stuart mated with Marilyn Manson.
I don't know, like, at least if you're like, my age, you would have grown up seeing like,
Johnny Depp and shit like, cry baby being attractive.
Yeah. But if you're like, if you're're like 20 years old now, you're essentially saying
I grew up wanting to fuck Captain Jack.
Yeah, but they saw the movie.
Did you read the Rolling Stone thing?
I did read the Rolling Stone thing.
That was what gave me the whole discovery of this hyper defensive fandom of his.
Was yeah, the Rolling Stone interview where he
he invited them the the interviewer to come and talk to him and like
it seemed it seemed to me not that I would really know but it seemed to me to be like a very
obviously a very obviously staged attempt to paint himself as the victim of, you know, betrayal
by the- Of being incredibly rich and famous.
Yeah, yeah, he was like, oh, I've given, he's given so much to everyone and now he's forced
to sit around and do fucking Keith Richards cosplay in his mansion.
Well, it sounds like he just got, he did get like defrauded by everyone, like I could believe
that.
I don't feel sorry for him because I don't know, perhaps I'm a bit funny but I'd notice if
just five million dollars was taken from my account randomly and given someone else.
You'd hope so.
Oh shit, I didn't check my bank account for one day and someone stole five million dollars
Fucking hell not again
Not yet and it was my sister as
That's the crazy thing. It's like his sister that did it I'll never get that whole thing about celebrity of people like I'm going to keep it real and give jobs to like my family members, so I'm gonna make my my like my shitty sister or brother who's never done anything with their life.
I'm also gonna let them be my manager and be in charge of all the tens of millions of dollars.
But I will put them in a situation where they could potentially really hurt me.
Yeah. Perfect. That's what loyalty is.
Loyalty is being insanely dumb and giving a lot of money to someone for no reason.
So, Patreon. Yeah. Shout out to our patrons. Thank you. Thank you for listening.
Yes, we love you. Sorry about the end of your pod guys.
Whoops. We had a good. So, um, so We had a good one. So to take a
little to take a little recap from Wired, good old Wired magazine, they were
just covering his his non-apology apology which comes after a tense week in
which the world followed the daring rescue of 12 Thai boys and their football
coach who had become trapped in a cave in Changri after it flooded.
By a international team of rescuers.
Super villain Gary Gleather.
He just lured them into the cave.
Just hanging around at low tide.
Like his face half submerged.
But his weird hair like poking out like a shark spin
Yeah, like like but do but doing the whole
Martin Sheen in Apocalypse now
Half submerged you were there. I'm psychotic face. Yeah, can I just say this whole situation was predicted by and I want to say Janathio on Twitter. I don't know
Who? Jonathanio?
Jonathanio?
I love that Pokemon.
Look, you guys, you guys work it out.
You find that.
You fucking job to pronounce things.
Who was like, like two weeks ago was like, imagine the, how funny the press conference it would have been if
the coach that got trapped down there with the kids was a nons.
It wouldn't be that funny.
It wouldn't be that funny for the kids, that's for sure.
Kids might not. They might not see the irony.
I know kids these...
That for the kids, great for comedy. Just a great not see the irony. I know kids these... They're for the kids, great for comedy.
Just a great one for the fans at back home.
Yeah, a real match.
It's like, it reminds me of that, a brossi. Do you get...
Oh, yeah, this is this is the one thing we didn't want to happen.
You'll pedophile. 60 kids, one pedophile, what will happen?
I think specifically the skit where they fire kids up into the space station.
By mistake.
No, it's there, they put a pedophile.
They put a pedophile up there and they accidentally put in an eight-year-old boy.
And just all the shots of like the stunned faces in the control center.
And then the overlay which says this is the one thing we didn't want to happen, but they
actually misspelled didn't in it.
It's fucking great.
Oh man.
It is so.
It is time for season two. We at least need a terrorism one. And the truth is that if you you you you you you you you you that if you that if you th. th. th. th. the th. the th. they they they they they they they they they they they they they their. they they they they they they they truth is that if you look at the sophistication of Brasai,
assuming I can say sophistication, you see that compared to like fucking Borat too.
Where it's like, I convince them by being fake Israeli to say the dumb thing.
And like, sure, I get it. It's fine.
It's interesting. And you call them with the pants down. But it's not really, no one th th th th th th th th th th th no one is th th th no one is th th th th no one is actually th th no one is actually th th th no one is actually th th thin thin, no one is actually thin, no one is actually, no one is actually, no one is actually thi thi, no one is th th th th th th. th th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I thi, I thi, I thi, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin. thin. thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I th. I th. I the dumb thing. And like sure, I get it. It's fine. It's interesting and you call it with the pants down. It goes, but it's not really, no one is actually really giving these
people the business. They're not making, other than making them go, oh, you supported
something stupid, which is like their fucking job, half the time in Congress, I'm right. But it's not like, you're not really calling them out on shit. their, you. the, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No, th. No, th. No, th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, into saying stuff. It's fine, it's funny, and the
initial value is fun. But it's not like what Brasai did, which was straight up call the
bias out. I called the, it managed to trick the sun into showing how weird and creepy they
are. They showed like a complaint about Brasai, immediately followed by a picture of a 14-year-old princess in a dress, being like, whoa, she's she's, th...... th. That's, that's, that's, that's, th. That's, that's, th. That's, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's. It's, th. It's, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. thi. thi. thi. thri. thri. thri. thri. thri. thri. It's not thri. thri. It's not th, what, she's growing up. But that's the shit that actually gets things done not
like I dressed up like an Israeli. I think what was getting me about the, what's
what's called, who is America? Is that the name of the series? Yeah.
Yeah. What got me about that as well was a lot of the whole like, he he tricked these
people into doing this stuff, he'd fooled them into this.
And I was like, as far as I can tell what this involved was just like asking them to do a
thing and then immediately saying, yes.
It was a trick in the sense that it was not used for the intended use, which is who gives a fuck? I mean, th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thus, who thus, who thus, who thus, who thus, who thus, who thus, thus, that, that, that, that, that, thus, thus. thin, thin, thin, thus. I was, thus. I thus. I thus, thus. I thin, th. I, th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. I was, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thin. the. the look that if in particular his costume as the insane like super racist Israeli impression
no one's talking about that it's like an insanely right he's like I am
Israeli like it's like insanely racist
but I was thinking about this though where like I was thinking about this in
comparison to the original Borat because like, I was thinking about this in comparison
to the original Borat because like...
Also racist, which is insanely racist, but not necessarily about anyone in particular.
Like it didn't see, it was Kazakhstan, but it didn't sound, not that I know many Kazakhs,
but like, I assume that no one looks or sounds like that in the world. Yeah, and also like, I guess, you know, I think the, the bo the bo bo the bo the bo the bo the bo the bo bo the bo the bo the bo the bo the bo the bo the bo the bo the bo the bo the bo bo the bo boa the boar the boar th. thi thi thi thi, th, that that I that I that that that that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that I that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's thi thi thi.. thi. tho tho tho tha. tho tho tha. tho tha. tho tho tha. tho the. the. that's that's know I think I think the Borat thing
has come so far from its original form that it's much like Austin Powers. It's
come so far from its original form that like it's I think a lot of people
don't think of Borat in in the context of the original sketches which was just him
getting done up as like you know Eastern Europe's version of a country bumpkin
and going up to people at a high tea thing.
And so just being racist.
Like, most of it was just very much mid to late 90s style,
let's laugh at the foreigner,
not totally removed from stuff like pulling your eyes shut
to be an Asian person.
It wasn't super far from that.
That's where Borat was from.
Borat was never cutting commentary,
but who is America is purporting to be so?
And it's a trick in the sense that you are not able to discern
that someone clearly has a giant prosthesis on their face.
Like his face was like four times
irregular. He looked like his mumps had mumps and it was gigantic and shiny.
And he was going, grrrh is just, I guess these people were kind of afraid of
upsetting their boyfriends and girlfriends in Israel but oh fucking now.
Well I think like the comparison for me with Borat is that in its original form, you know,
with Borat, he would turn up basically just going, oh look, here's some backwards Eastern
European guy.
Yeah.
And, you know, racist old British dudes would go, ah, I'll humor him.
And just, you know, laugh along with whatever. And, and a lot of the time, I think, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I, the, the, I, I, I, I, the, I, I, I, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, thor, thor, thor, thor, thor, thor, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the original, the, the original, the, thor, thor, I, thor, I, I, I, I, thor, I, I, I, thor, I, I, I, thorough, I, thorough, I, thooooooooooooooooooes, thoooooooes, thorough, thorough, thorough, thorough, the, I, I'll humor him and just you know laugh along with whatever and and a
lot of the time I think the I suppose the the trick of it if you will was that
he would present them with something that most reasonable people would go
that's a pretty backwards and gross view and these people go oh well it's
coming from this guy so it's all right from it's suddenly you know it's no one's gonna care if I laugh along
with this yeah that's showing that that they are fine with that and I was
thinking about this in the context of the new show with the Israeli guy
which is that he I guess he like um did a did almost the full-on
character of the most the most Israeli in the world kind of thing
and presented that to like well like in in the sense of I would like the IDF loving yeah yeah
like the full on IDF loving super Israeli thing like like the fulun IDF loving super Israeli thing like like um like the fucking characters in. Uh, you don't. You don't. uh. You don't. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theyally. Israeli Israeli Israeli Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. Israeli. I Israeli. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. they. they. they-I. they-I. they-I. they-I. they-I. they-I.I.I.I.I.I. the.I.I.I. the. the full on, the full on IDF loving super Israeli thing. Like, um, like the fucking characters in, uh,
you don't mess with the Zohan, you know?
The Adam Sandler movie.
That was a documentary though.
Yeah.
Great film.
I really would appreciate you not saying anything bad about it.
I actually really didn't mind you don't mess with the Zohan.
I think I like that movie. Like acute brain damage or something.
Yeah. I definitely do. I was like, oh yeah, like definitely like no question about that. But I genuinely watched it. I was like, this is funny, I guess. It's like, this is funny on some level,
but I guess like I do really have brain damage. Like almost. And I agree because I too like that movie and but like in with
the new character the super Israeli dude they're presenting to like hardcore
evangelical Christian Republicans the one version of a Jew that they're
supposed to like the most which is thethe war-mongering, super IDF,
ultra-Israeli motherland kind of,
you know, well, and we're very pro-guns,
and we're, you know, it's the one version of that
that these guys are gonna look at and go,
ah, yes, this is exactly who we're supposed to say yes to,
and agree,
given our political ideology and all allthat sort of shit. So I don't know, I guess is the way that he's framing it, the thing that just makes people
go, I'm going to ignore this dude's weird rubber head.
That's more of a come toward joke.
Jewish Max headroom.
That's what to think about.
That's more of a come-town joke.
Nick Mullins spending an hour doing impressions of Jewish Max Etruc.
Little, little wink and an odd to come town there.
Oh my goodness.
Anyway, wheeling right back around.
It's a good old Elon Musk.
Oh yeah, he tried to make a stop when we try him up.
That's all right. We'll work our way back around to it.
So he decided to sweep in and make a tiny child coffin submarine out of rocket parts.
Made a big deal out of sweeping in as the savior, posting videos of pool tests, flying to Thailand himself to deliver it.
And they said, what is this? We can't use this. What is this big shiny dildo that doesn't fit
into the tunnel system? And also, what's the submarine?
It's like when you show up like a day too late to for your for your roommates when you're moving
out of a house. They just dump like a mop at the front door. They're like, ah my
job's done here. I like walk away. Yeah, sorry that's been busy see you know like
flying to Mars if you haven't noticed. Anyway, here's a metal coffin. When you need to get those child, those corpses out of here, give me a ring.
Oh man.
In a video interview with CNN after the boys were all safe, Kava Unsworth was asked about Musk's sub.
He criticized the idea calling it, quote, just a PR stunt that had absolutely no chance of working.
He can stick his submarine where it hurts.
Hansworth said.
Where's that?
Can someone please tell me where that is?
I'm laughing because I don't know.
I...
His dickhole.
Oh, somehow worse than the butt hole?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That mean I could easily fit a submarine up my ass.
I mean, the dick hole might be different.
Oh no, you're going to wind up with the whole hot dog exploded in the microwave thing going on there.
Oh, hey, thank you.
Musk took to his medium of choice to denounce Answarth in response to a Twitter thread. He was challenged his suggestion that the sub wouldn't have worked and said he would make
a video to prove it could go through the cave and ended his tweet. Sorry Piedo guy, you really did ask for it.
I seemed, I seem to recall that there was something missing in the middle here
where his suggestion was basically like why else would someone live in Thailand?
Yeah I think that's where he got petto from. It's like why else would someone live in
Thailand? Oh yeah he was in one of his tweets he said lives in tilai brackets
suss. Rack it. Rack him. Oh boy. A bit of racism in there too.
Love it.
I was waiting for him to say Gary Glitter.
Yeah.
There was no base for this but must later double down on the accusation responding to someone
who questioned his reaction by saying, bet you'd sign dollar it's true.
It's like saying the only reason you'd live in South Africa would be to subjugate them
So that you get like cheap supply of gems
Yeah
Some kind of like emeralds for example like emeralds for example. Yeah something along those lines
Huh, you later deleted his tweets after days of silence his attempt at an apology comes once again on Twitter this time thi too. This time in response the response to a thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to sub sub sub sub sub sub. to to to to to to sub sub subjugate to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the again on Twitter, this time in response to a user who shared a post about the incident.
I should note that the post he was responding to was like the one article he could find defending
him.
And it was on Quora.
Oh yeah, that's the news right there.
Yeah, that's right. He's had enough of fake the the the the the the tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thioliol-a thi. thi. thease theoomoomoomoomoomatol-a that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi. that's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thethere. That's real shit. Yeah, it's right. He's had enough of fake news and biased journalism.
He's going straight to the source of truth.
Quora.
Quora up votes.
Love Gorah.
And I also like that his apology here,
which effectively, I guess, functions as his apology.
Yeah, well, well, as he says here, as this well-written article suggests, the one defending me,
my words were spoken in anger after Mrs. Hansworth said several untruths and suggested I engage
in a sexual act with the mini-sub.
Now we know what Elon Musk does in the bedroom.
He shuts stuff off his ass.
He would. I solidly believe that. Yeah, he's probably one of those
depraved weirdos who's like, you have to have two different hentai on in the background
to reach your chasm. Now me, I can just do it with the one, but. Just one regular kind.
One normal, normal hentai with a lot of animals and I'm good to go.
Sorry, what was the subject?
Just a regular man's dose of the hentime.
The normal man's normal hentai.
Just the normal amount of hentai for me, thanks.
I've said, he suggested I engage in a sexual act with the mini sub which had been built as an act
of kindness and according to specifications from the dive team leader he wrote.
Nonetheless his actions against me do not justify my actions against him and for that I apologize
to Mr. Answorth and to the companies I represent as leader.
The fault is mine and mine alone.
This is the one that's buried down on a, like a reply chain? Yeah it's a reply guy till he dies. He he he he he he he he he he he he he he he. He is. He is he he he he he. He is he. He is he he he is he he he is he is he the the he is a the the the the th. He's th. He's the the th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th. He th.

He's a the. He's a thee. He's the. He's the. He's the. He's the the. He's th one that's buried down on a, like a reply chain?
Yeah, it's a reply guy till he dies.
He is, and I like to that.
I'd love it if he became a proper reply guy though, he was like extremely horny.
Well, I mean, I assume that's how the guy.
Like, I assume that's how the guy's right.
the tie. Would you like a model 69? Like, milk on feet, please. Yeah.
E-feet.
Come to Johannesburg, sweetie.
Yeah.
Seriously, this motherfucker could own an island or 12, and he could...
He could be online, but he could just tweet like Chud Bungo fuck all day,
like the rest of us.
And have a normal one. And have a normal one, well, just like driving a Ferrari into another Ferrari, Chudbongo fuck all day, like the rest of us. That is the dream.
And have a normal one while just like driving a Ferrari
into another Ferrari every day.
And he'd be fucking fine and he wouldn't be doing this hateful
garbage every fucking day.
Well, like people, were genuinely,
there are probably some really fucking horrible people, just assaulting this guy
constantly on that line. Probably some, someone else said this guy constantly on that line.
Now probably some, someone else said this,
so don't seem I have any smart ideas,
but someone else said it is like,
Reddit, Reditors and Gab people are probably already trying to
look for or fake stuff about this guy being a pedophile
so they can please their Rick and Morty God. Yeah. No, there's no doubt.
I mean, I saw in the replies to some of these things,
somebody's saying like, oh, well,
you know, why would he say that about this guy
unless there was something to it?
Maybe we should be looking into that, you know.
It's like, yeah, can we should we be looking into it?
Yeah, can we should should get Q&O on to it.
Yeah, obviously.
Yeah, the whole, the whole internet self-appointed task force thing is sex crime task force is very strange to me.
The internet sex crime task force, fucking tel.
Yeah.
Yeah. Law and order, Twitter, sex crime division. It's, um, very strange. And like, yeah, the idea, the idea, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi, the idea, thi. the idea, thi, thi, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi- thi-a, thi-in, thoomoomoom. Yeah, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. thi. thi. th. th. thee. th. th. the the the the the thate the the thate. crime division. It's very strange.
And like, yeah, the idea that he's, like how he says, you know, I apologize on behalf of the companies I represent, well, I apologize to the companies I represent as a leader.
But he's done this in a tweet, in a reply to someone else about something I'm related to this.
And I wonder if he looks at that and goes, done my job here.
I've cleaned up that mess.
Yeah, he's crisis comms efficient, aren't they there?
So you need to do.
So how, how's he going from a PR perspective here?
Brilliantly.
No probles.
All sort. Is there anything he can do to turn
this around other than fucking stopping? Just stopping posting. No, no, I mean
absolutely. He's fine. Like you have to realize even with this shitty reply, even
with like the literal other than not doing it pretty much the least amount of
effort he could have made. He is still going to be fine even then
because CNN was like Elon Musk replies and apologizes. That was it, job fucking done.
No like shitty response. Tech Crunch went, apologize somewhat. All he needs to do now and this
may be impossible for him is shut the fuck up and he's fine. If he just stopped doing that and went back to
tweeting whob-dub-dub-dub and whatever bullshit they say on Rick and Morty, great he'd be fine.
All he needs to do is return to saying nothing except whatever's happening with Tesla and people
would leave him alone. If he gave out like 30 Model 3s to a bunch
of bloggers, they'd fucking lap it up and they'd be singing his praises again. That's all this
takes. It takes literally doing what Apple does. Shutting the fuck up, giving people free
things and making them want more because you are that big a company. That's in. It's all that takes except he's gonna fuck it up because he can't help th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th the the the the the the the the the the the the thi thi the' the' the' the' the' the' the' the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the an the an te an tean tean tean. toge an toge toge to toge the the the the the the's it. It's all that takes. Except he's gonna fuck it up because he can't help but get this kind of weird...
he has this hard-on for like arguing, but not even arguing, because he never fully goes
reply guy. He never fully goes deep down to the, I'm not racist but layer of the internet.
But he just, he does old school dog piles.
And it's fucking sickening because like, he, it's just, what's going to be sickening
is when he eventually retracts back into his lair and he gets away with all this shit.
He literally finds all of these people who will write positive things about him again.
It's gonna happen.
He's gonna, unless he just continues to twee angry shit all the time,
which is very possible, don't get me wrong,
they'll probably forget about anything negative ever happening,
and they'll even find a way to call this like a redemption story.
Can I take a swing at a mild take here and say that for his fans, right, I think the Pido
thing has actually helped distract from the dumb-ass submarine thing, right, to CNN and to all the,
Oh no, I don't think his fans gave a fuck about the submarine. I thought they was beautiful.
They probably were all like, oh yeah, this is beautiful.
It's so nice that Elon Musk gives a shit about all these kids.
And these mean hard, it was very clearly the reaction.
Yeah.
But to me, focusing on the, if we kept focusing on the submarines,
right, it kind of, it's attacking his image as this bold genius.
And it's like, no, you've just generated a bunch of trash cans and kicked you know Oscar the Grouch out of it sort of disagree like disagree just because honestly sorry to just this is my podcast now so this
is the only reason that that isn't true because logical relatively normal
people would think exactly what you think except we've already done a
version of this on a much larger scale of Elon Musk the victim
which is Elon Musk versus car companies. that's larger scale of Elon Musk the victim, which is Elon Musk
versus car companies.
That's all that, it's the same thing again.
No one's going to say, well, your dopey-y-ass cars that you can't make fast enough can't
compete because they cost too much and they're too hard to make.
No, people are seeing it and saying, well, you know what, big auto is holding him
down. He had to start with the expensive ones first to get the technology right. Exactly.
He had to start with the submarines that kill the children first to get the technology tried
to move on. You remember the cat and the hat? Find out where it's not? Yeah, you've got to the cat and the hat and find out? the the the the to find out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out out where the the the the the the the the the the the the the their to kill the kids first. Get it right.
You've got to find out what part of the submarine is killing the kids and then take that heart out.
But in all seriousness, he didn't get a chance in that narrative, he didn't get a chance to help the kids.
Because big, yeah, yeah. And I have seen that.
Big government kept him down.
Because they were too busy actually saving the kids in time just before the water levels rose, which would have
just killed them all, to fit one submarine down there.
Yeah, they didn't give him a chance to help because big government wanted him to look bad,
or just he didn't get a chance to help because bureaucracy held him back from helping.
I'm saying, though, though, like, all I'm saying is that like maybe 10% of his stance who think he's some sort of rocket genius, the toe......... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, to, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the to, to, the the to, to, the to, to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, all I'm saying is that like maybe 10% of his stance who think he's some sort
of rocket genius, right, despite the fact he clearly isn't, right? He just pays for the
rocket geniuses to go, oh he had a hugely dumb-ass idea, right, versus 100% of his fans
who think calling the guy that did the actual work a Pido is very funny.
Because they're brain damage. Because it is. It was a really really the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact the fact he th he he th th fact th.

It's a little bit funny.
Because it is.
It was extremely funny.
It was extremely funny.
It was funny.
It was funny.
It was funny to me.
Just 100% funny.
I'm actually an Elon Mosque fan now.
I do like Rick and Morty.
I think you need to take it a step back though. I don't think his their their he he he he you you you you you you you think you think you thi to thi to to thi. I to thi. I thi. I to thi. I to thi. I thi. I to need need to to to to to to to to to to to that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. It was that's. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is. It is to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. It is. It is. It is thi. I thi. I thi. I thi. I the. I the. I the. I was a th. I was a th. the. the. the. the. the. It's the. It's the. It was. It was. It's the. don't think his fans are that segmented between, because they're the crazy Bozo's always respect and love him and think he's their dad, but
there are, for the most part, Tesla fans believe and have always brought into
this narrative. I say this driving a Tesla. I'm not kidding I actually do drive a Tesla.
Oh boy. Yeah, I'm a real piece of shit over here. Well, I mean, you'll burn to death soon, so it's fine.
Keep the-
But I want to die, so fucking great.
Put me in the submarine if you want to kill anyone.
But in all seriousness, it's a good car,
but there are problems with the company.
Now, there are some people who think that.
With the submarine, there was no real, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,% of Tesla fans really believe that he was, he was like
just putting a fucking tin cam that would have 100% murdered the children in the sea.
Most of them just think he didn't get a chance to try it and his greeny camera phone
bullshit proved that his genius tincan submarine would have saved the children and been
a hilarious adventure like Yellow Submarine.
And it would, and that's the thing, that's what most people I believe think.
They think that Elon Musk is this genius that is trying to help the world because he's
just that good and that nice when really he's just a fucking dip shit with a lot of
very vague ideas.
That's what I don't get with all these fucking outlets who cover every fucking tweet he makes.
Like he has these insanely vague ideas. I mean, he's gonna help Flint somehow.
Everyone covered it. He's gonna get bricks for low income housing, which by the way is not like the problem with low income housing. He's going to get bricks for low-income housing, which by the way is
not like the problem with low-income housing. It's not like, they're not like, ah shit, we
can't afford the bricks. It's nothing to do with the services. It's the bricks. There's
the problem. They got all these people waiting around in social services, that classically overfunded industry. Yeah, they got a big old bucket of grout there. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're. Yeah. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not like, they're not like, they're not like, they're not, they're not, they're not, they'rethere, all the tools, just waiting to go. God fucking damn it.
I wish, I wish we had some bricks.
All this money to spend and not a brick to be seen.
But that's the amazing thing is these people keep covering and in many ways the media
that he so hates are the reason are to blame for this fucking cult. Oh for sure. Because they're the ones who have to have to have to have to have to have to blame. to to to to to to to to to to to to to the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. thi. their. thi. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. the the th. We. I. the the the the the the the the ones who have covered every nylon fart this twat has
put out into the internet. It's ridiculous. He says anything. He talks about making a robot
dragon and people fucking covered it like a robot dragon. Yeah, no, I'm starting to actually just
totally disown my previous taste, take Ed, because obviously
if they didn't, no, because obviously if people didn't wise up to him selling a propane
torch labeled as a flame thrower for four times the price, then they're not going to wise
up ever. It's the, it's the most ridiculous cult of personality by the biggest group of people who would
totally despise any other kind of cult of personality if it involved women or people of color or religion or anything else, right?
But like on absolute material terms, they cannot criticize Elon Musk. Well, I wonder as well, like, just with what you were saying it about, you know, people looking at both the cars and the rescue attempt and saying, ah, but somebody else stopped him and that's why, you know, that's why it doesn't matter that this thing isn't perfect or didn't work very well or whatever. I think there's also that thread running through the whole thing of, you know, if he says, if he's
making electric cars, if he's saying that he's somehow going to fix Flint's
water problem but not really doing it, or if he's saying he's going to
rescue kids from a cave and then not actually doing it, any criticism of that is met from his fans with, well at least he's
trying to do something positive, what are you doing to help those kids? It's like exactly
as much as Elon Musk is not helping them at all. It's exactly how much help. Yeah, that's
how much we both helped those kids. That's what all my DM say. I've got all these
DM requests from like Elon Musk. And me. Why do you hate Elon Musk? And what do you hate Elon Musk and what do you do to help
the Thai kids? What does that mean? Why are you messaging me about this? I don't care. It's like, that's like
that fucking argument when people argue with you and say, well if you can't do it, then you shouldn't have an opinion about it. Like if have a bad meal you can't say oh it's bad because of you're not much of a
cook it's like fuck off you've these circular bullshit arguments and also
what does it even mean to say I noticed that you're criticizing
you you said you had a bad experience in this dank alley but how many
dank alleys have you built?
Yeah, well actually, it's where I'm most of my victims.
It's a great, great PR week, great PR week for Elon Musk.
It's so funny how easy it would be as well for him to get positive press and everyone
love him. Like so his cars are actually pretty good.
That's the crazy thing.
They're actually good cars.
I actually really like them.
It's just really weird how, yeah,
I have this really successful product that most people like.
But I will just over promise every day and constantly put myself in the press in a
negative manner because I just can't fucking log off.
Well I wonder how much of it comes from, you know, has he become or has he always been someone who sees himself as the company?
Yes. You know, Tesla is Elon Musk, Elon Musk, Elon Musk is Tesla kind of thing.
Because surely that's a pretty fatal move
to kind of get into, get yourself into a position
where you think that the company could not
or would not continue without you
because they absolutely will.
Yeah, and that's the crazy thing, it would.
Just look at Papa John.
His fucking pizza company is named after him with his face on all the boxes and they
just fucked him off. Bad move. Yeah. I hate it when somebody forces me to say the N-word
on a teleconference with my shareholders. Such a good justification as well. They pressured me
into it. I'd say it. Everybody started chanting say it. Say it. Say it. Say it. Say it. Say it. Everybody started chanting, say it.
Say it.
Say it.
Do it.
Do it.
Yeah, I would just love to hear him explain that slightly.
Yeah, like.
Say the end was.
You want to be cool, right?
Yeah, I would just, I would love to, I would love to know the very specific context of being
clog-word-goat-style. Being, yeah, being goaded into racist slurs during business
meetings because yeah, that's happened to me a lot of times in meetings at work.
It's that we've all just been talking about whatever it is we're working on and someone
to my left has just turned and whispered, say it. Say it. slur, just do a slur. Just do a little one, have a go.
Yeah, that's what most of that like... Just a little one? Yeah, go on. Most of it, when you get like
induction at a company and they give you like the other training and stuff and the first one is like now you're going to be asked to say some some some some to say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say say the slay. You the slay. the slur. the slur. the slur. they their they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're just they're just they're like you're like you're like you're like you're like you're like you're like you're like you're their their they're like you they're like you they're like. their. their. they their. their. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. their. their. their. their their their their their to their their their their their their their their their their their their their. Just. You're going. Just. You're going. You're going. You're just. You like, now you're going to be asked to say some sloes. Don't say the sloes.
It's like a trustful.
Yeah.
Don't worry, we'll mute the call.
Oh, man.
Now, you guys tell me that someone else, I haven't heard about this.
We're just talking about this before we started recording.
Someone else is having a bad time, it's good old Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook.
Yeah. What's what's going on here? What's he got himself into this time?
So, I mean, my understanding of it is that it's sort of going back over the old, the old ground of, you know, how much should we allow on Facebook? And you know, how much should we allow on Twitter and what should we do about the people that are
maliciously spreading stuff like Sandy Hook didn't happen. Well yeah because they just had the whole info wars thing didn't they where they
said oh we're not going to take info like you know we're gonna start
cracking down on fake news we won't take info though because that's valid opinion and
analysis. Yeah yeah that's that right. And and well I mean it's probably easier to let him explain it. So you know the interviewer says Sandy. Okay Sandy hook didn't happen in quotes is not a debate. It's false. You can't just take that down and he says well agree it's false. I also agree. You know that if you're a victim of Sandy hook and you tell them you know, hey you're a liar. We'll take that down. Right. But then he goes well I'm. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I'm. th. th. th. I'm th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the they. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the and you tell them, you know, hey, you're a liar, we'll take that
down, right? But then he goes, well, I'm Jewish and there's a set of people who deny the
Holocaust happened. I find it deeply offensive, blah, blah, blah, but I don't think we should
shut it down because I don't think that they're intentionally getting it wrong. Right? And the interview jumps in here and says, well, well, it's the the the the the they, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the interview, the, the interview, the interview, the interview, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I'm th. I's th. I'm their, their, their, their, th. I's, the interview jumps in here and says, well, I think they are. And he's, well, it's hard to impugn intent and to understand the intent.
You know, basically, if they don't think, if they can't prove that you're doing this,
you know, in a malicious way that you're deliberately misleading people, that it should remain,
even though, even though it's publicly harmful, even though, you know's it's plainly not true but you know he it's it's this concept that there's some
sort of like good faith argument going on about this stuff and he's apologized
though now. As he I missed that I'm a so I personally find the
Holocaust deeply offensive and I absolutely didn't intend to defend the intent of people who deny that
But they won't wow no no, but let's break that down who deny
That what what they did he worded that specifically so he's not quite saying the Holocaust happened
Yeah, I yeah, I personally am offended by the idea of a holocaust depletive and I absolutely didn't intend to defend it. I absolutely didn't intend to defend to defend that. I? I. that. that. that. that. the. the intent, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I the intent, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, I the, the, the, the, the, the intent, the intent the intent the intent, the intent, the intent, the intent, the intent, the intent, the intent, the intent, the intent, the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the intent the, thin, thin, thin, to deny, to deny thin, to deny thin, the, the, the, theee, thin, the, the, the, the, the personally am offended by the idea of a Holocaust.
I absolutely didn't intend to defend the intent of people who, Jesus Christ, he changed
this statement.
Oh my God.
Defend the intent.
Yeah, how about you just say the Holocaust happened and anyone who denies that is terrible.
The end. It's the most insane thing, It's the easiest thing to get get right. Like you said with Elon Musk, it's like it's so easy for these people to get good PR, right?
And they do this. It's like, are you really worried or mourning the loss of Holocaust deniers?
Is that a large demographic of Facebook now? Like, oh shit, we're giving up the Holocaust dem, the Holocaust Denier demographic. Ah shit.
We'll never make it through this quarter without the people who deny the Holocaust.
Do we also happen to buy a lot of beans?
Like, that's like, fucking Hines is going to drop our contract because we kicked out
the Holocaust.
It's fucking stupid.
I'd just say Holocaust denial is disgusting and anyone who denies it shouldn't be on the social network.
Fuck it, just go throw and say you should die in an oven.
Fuckin' ai. That'd be great.
You deny the Holocaust, you get burned in an oven.
That's that's for irony.
That's good PR for the minute.
Actually, I'd fucking love that. That'd be great. Well, we have to, like, in Australia, like like in Australia you like Holocaust denial is
illegal. Wasn't it illegal on the internet for a while to like post that
shit? It doesn't depend on like what country you're from and all that sort of
like. In Germany Holocaust denial is is illegal. Yeah it's illegal.
Like you know of the of the very few people who have been like found guilty under the the the 18C provision of the racial discrimination th-dic, that be th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th that be that be that be that be that be thi thi that be that be thi thi that be that be that be that be that be that be thi thi the the-be be the the that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thial is thial is thial is thial is thal is thal is thal is thal is thal is thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the that the the that that the the the the the the the the the the the the thi thi the th of the very few people who have been like found guilty under the
the the 18c provision of the racial discrimination act in Australia one of
them is Mel Gibson's father really no way Gibson denied the Holocaust
Oh no no sorry sorry I take that back I'm conflating no Mel Gibson's father is a very
long time on record Holocaust denier what? I didn'tlating, no, Mel Gibson's father is a very long time on record Holocaust
denier.
What?
I didn't know this.
Isn't Mel Gibson's a...
It's just incredibly anti-Semitic.
I know.
Yeah, he's like super, super, super staunch Catholic.
And he also kind of refuses to get into...
He both sides Holocaust denial about his dad like Mark
Zuckerberg does about Facebook guys. Yeah, literally everyone it seems. But no
there was another guy who like distributed Holocaust denial material like just
walked around handing out flyers and shit. Yeah I was gonna say Himlo?
Yeah. Yeah I was gonna say Himlo. Yeah. He's back.. In Spack. In Pug form. The emails are coming from Argentina.
Hello? Yeah, Facebook's new Project Odessa. Hello? Did we lose entry? You. SOTOMAYOR' END
A SIGETHER.
A slight technical error there, folks, while we argue about the truthfulness of the Holocaust.
Well, you were just saying that, um, when we argue about the truthfulness of the Holocaust.
Well, you were just saying that when you test the Zyclon B cans, you can clearly see that the metal is only 20 years old, right?
Which doesn't make sense. I think that's what you were saying. Just before your government provided modem cut out.
Hmm. Just make your own connections, folks.
I've said this before, but I've given the facts.
I was so weirded out when I realized that there's like,
that we have our own like false flag conspiracy theories in Australia about Port Arthur.
Oh yeah, big time. About the Port Arthur massacre.
What's that? So that was in Tasmania. That was the event that spurred Australia to like
clamp right down on gun ownership. So there was a guy Martin Bryant in Tasmania who collected
some guns and was a great big nutter and he massacred a whole bunch of people. And then the government went... 16? Which to be honest, sounds not like not that many. It was... it's high. It's high. It's a high-it. It's a high. It's. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's like. It's a that. It's a that. It was like. It was. It was. It was. It was like. It was. It was. It was a that. It was a that. It was a that. It was like. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It's. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. thethen the government went 16 which which to be
honest sounds not like not that many given it's high high the time you know
inflation and what have it is technically 482 different people yeah but yeah he he did
all that very fat and so so that was what prompted like the gun buyback and the illegal firearm amnesty and
all that sort of stuff, which is of course the thing that all smug Australians now.
Now point to-
I'm fucking just constantly tweet America's like, uh, yeah.
It's so good.
We did one thing right in our entire like horrible nations history.
But it's also it just it's so fucking apples and oranges too.
It's like hey we you know we had this thing happen and we said why don't we let some people
turn in their small amount of you know not great guns which aren't really a huge part
of our culture.
How come you haven't done that with your 400 million firearms, America, about this thing
that is completely culturally different there as far as, like, no one in Australia, there's
like one person in Australia and he's a politician who thinks that people have like a right
to own guns.
Yeah, so when they say it's like it was a false flag, to the benefit of whom, like the bulldozer manufacturer who ran over all the guns afterwards? Like, that sounds like a fucking great job though.
It would be very cool. Um, we have questions. Oh, yes, we got some questions for the mail bag. Questions for
Ed. Let's see you. No it did not happen. Well wife of the show Connor Stokes did ask who will be the
next renowned tech brain genius to publicly humiliate themselves?
Who is the next emperor with no clothes?
That's a good one.
I mean, so a while ago, I would, like, a few years ago, I would have bet Mark Benny off,
but actually he's become like the antithesis of everything Elon Musk.
He like reflects on shit when he does something wrong, he like apologizes to people,
he even like survived Shanley getting mad at him, which is just you should get, you should get a purple heart for that.
Like that is a fucking, you should get all of them like Iron Cross and everything, but nevertheless.
So for the benefits of our listeners and not for me, I'm extremely smart, but for the listeners who don't know who this is, can you explain who? He's the CEO of Salesforce, very rich guy, rich enough to literally put his name in a hospital
or two, but actually a nice bloke.
I think it's going to be a major VC.
I would not be surprised if we get, within the next few years, we get somewhat, probably
not Andreason because he's being quite canny and actually logged off when he realized. Maybe one of the people that spent like tens of millions of dollars on the pathology bullshit.
Oh, Tim Draper. There's gonna be Tim Draper.
There you go. Because he's got his Bitcoin tie and he's already wants to split California into like several step
that was him.
And I mean, he's been extremely online recently,
and you never know, he may.
But it's probably going to be a venture capitalist.
It's probably going to be one of these.
It might be maybe if something significant happens with Uber.
Like something really bad happens with Uber.
Travis Kalinick.
Another unfairly maligned person. I don't know what
Preable's problem with Uber is other than the sexism and the free labor they get and the destruction
of lives they get. I mean other than that. Other than those things. But yeah I think it will probably be a VC
because it's just natural. I mean Tim Draper's already, he's already like Theronos denying.
He already, he is not admitting Theronos was a big old scam.
Which I think is fucking marvelous.
I think that is so funny.
Oh, 100%.
Like, the due diligence would be like, oh, it doesn't exist.
Like the due diligence would be like, oh, it doesn't exist.
Yeah, it's like the most immediate kind of direct, carmic backfire that I can actually
think of in the tech industry.
Oh yeah.
Like, the clearest example of being punished for hubris.
It's unbelievable. But yeah, I think that it will probably be a VC. I that's very very that that's like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like the that a that a that a that a that a that that that that the that that that the the that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. But yeah, I think that it will probably be a VC.
I think that that's very likely that a VC will just go nuts,
nutrageous on us all.
I think it makes sense as well because it's definitely the, like, the venture capitalists,
the, the Ubers, the Elon Musk types,
who I think have all sort of come up from this idea of, you know, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's that, that, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thists, the Uber's, the Elon Musk types, who I think have all sort of come up from this idea of, you know, being disruptors,
being people who don't play by your normal business rules.
And then at some point it makes you go, oh, that's why everybody played by the business rules.
Yeah. Because you're not supposed to be out there on social media,
talking about your insane conspiracy theories. Yeah, as they they they they they they they they they they they they they they as they as they as they as they as they as they as they as they as they as they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're thi their their the. As the. the. the. the. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. I I I the the the the the th. I I I the the the the th. I I I I I I th. I th. I the the the their. I their. I the their. I their. I th. I the the th. I th. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I theeee. I the. I thee. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. media talking about your insane conspiracy theories and... Yeah, as they slowly reconstruct all of the business rules from scratch.
Yeah, yeah, it's like...
It's like all...
Yeah, it's right, Theo, all the all the Facebook stuff of like just continually
fucking up and doing like the basics of business and then going, we've really learned from this and we're
going to reflect on it,
not do it again until next month.
And we're gonna reflect on that when it happens.
I'm actually surprised it wasn't a Bitcoin person,
like, but the Winkle Vosses aren't really online,
and the Bitcoin people were already fucking deranged,
so it's not like a huge difference.
Yeah, and all the people that bought it 22,000,000 th and their their their their they they they they they they've their their their their their their they've their, their, all the people that, you know, bought it $22,000
and sold at 7, they've already all killed themselves.
Yeah, they're all dead.
I mean, I didn't kill myself, yeah.
Yeah, there's time.
We can still get you in that sub.
Hell yeah.
Anyway, friend of the show, Carl, asks, what smart home device has Ed gotten the maddest at?
Oh, my.
Ed buys and kind of tries out and reviews a lot of smart home devices and they're all bad?
I don't know about that. I actually really, uh, sarcasm so I don't know about that.
But... I actually really, sarcasm side, I don't know about that. But,
Wemo, probably the light switch ones. They are the most maddening when you're installing them.
But, yeah, I would say anything with the light switches is always bad,
but I would say Home Pod, the Apple speaker.
Oh yeah. Which I should add, it sounds fucking great.
I will stand for that shit for no good reason.
Like there's no reason for anyone to defend Apple, but I do because I'm a, I'm the one screaming at woman at the top of my voice.
That like, they should die because of my beauty.
No, but in all seriousness, it can't understand me, most days. I'm like, hey Siri, play music. I don't know where
the moose stick is. Like it's, but it won't even be that sensible. It will usually, I'll
ask it to play one Queen's of the Star Age song and it goes back to this really
specific one called Infinity. For reasons I can't really understand because
it's a really deep car. It's not like a common one. But also there are just times it goes,
hmm, I can't understand that. Just gives the fuck up, which is very approachable, like I
get it. But also annoying. Yeah. That is fair. We also have a friend of the show, Justin Frey McCulloch asks, hello Ed.
Do you prefer coffee or tea and how do you have it?
Coffee all day?
So I actually drink this stuff that my mate Phil makes.
It's this stuff called Black Blood to the Earth.
I did see this on your Twitter.
Yeah, it's insanely powerful coffee. It's like one shot is two Edtytas. Ed. H Ed. H Ed. H Ed. H Ed. H Ed. H Ed. H Ed. Ed. Ed. Ed. Ed. Ed. Ed. Ed. Ed. Ed. Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed. Ed. Ed. Hello, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, Ed, th. th. thed, thed, thed, thi. thi, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th earth. I did see this on your Twitter. Yeah, it's insanely powerful coffee.
It's like one shot is two ventilates. I just drink that from the bottle because I'm severely
ADHD, like absolutely doctor, doctor approved. I am super ADHD. So does it help? Yes, because
a lot of ADHD in particular mine is actually medicated with stimulants anyway.
Hmm. Interesting. Yeah, a little bit of learning. I know you bloats don't necessarily like your book reading, but occasionally you learn a thing.
Sorry about that. Well, they're all in English, which is no help to ask Australians.
So I really struggle with it. But no, it's, I like my coffee very strong and very black.
Do not say...
Like you men, am I right?
Hey!
No, I like them slovenly.
Hmm.
Let's see, friend of the show, new, brand new friend of the show,
Narissa Shannon asks, is super meal?
Uh-huh. It's a a very Seinfeld era question.
What?
I don't watch Sunfeld.
Is soup a meal?
Oh.
I'm going to say no.
No, absolutely not.
I don't think it's part of a meal.
It's an appetizer at best.
You could have it as a meal, I guess.
It sucks that we didn't have Ben on this one, because I'm on soup as a meal side.
He's on soup as a meal side.
Oh wow, I'm glad you guys are over from here.
We both are extremely wayfish.
That's fucking Aristotle versus Plato.
Brain lords, masters of genius. Yeah, we're gonna get right back into our soup versus stew to base all over again.
Yeah, let's have a whole episode on that shit.
Yeah, that's what is it.
What is a chowder?
Hey, uh...
A miserable pile of secrets.
That's right.
Um, why for the show, Tell Waterhouse, who you may know from Australia's Friday Lizard on Twitter. My favorite.
It does make the Friday Lizard.
He asks you to please rank your pets from best to greatest.
No.
Run us through your pets.
So I've got your pets on it. Yeah.
I got Shaw who's the kind of husky looking one. I don't mean fat. I mean, looks like a husky looking one. I don't mean fat, I mean looks like a husky. I don't know why that was so funny.
But she's in Laskin Cleek Eye, she is the kind of white fluffy one.
There is Root who's the teacup Pomeranium we have.
Such a hilarious.
Whatever.
I love my life. My life's so fucking stupid.
It's wonderful.
I mean, I really, I have a really, like a absolutely fucking stupid life.
I love it. I don't know.
But yeah, so Root's a teacup Pomeranian.
And it's based off of root from person of interest.
Not the word for fucking.
Just want to make that clear. So my other dog's fucking. the thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, th is, th is, th, I's, I's, I's, I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's thuke, I's thus, I's thus, I'm thus, I'm thoom. I'm thus, I'm thoom. I have thoom. I have thiol- I have thiol- I have thiol- I have thiolus, I thu, I, I, I thu, I, I thu, I thu, I I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu, I thu. I thu. I thu. I thi. I thi. I th. I th. I tho. I have tho. I have tho. I have tho. I have thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I have a tha. Just want to make that clear. So my other dog fucking, no sorry,
um, other dogs called Kea, she is a Chooini, which would be a weeny dog plus a Chihuahua. It's
my wife's pet from before she met me. She's wonderful. She is the most sedentary animal other
than me. And what about the dog? But I made the joke during...
I just made that...
Ah.
Ha!
Moving on, there is Hosanna, which is our garbage cat.
Garbage cat?
She was literally found in a garbage dump by another garbage dump, my father-in-law.
And... He's a real shit but
sorry is the one podcast I know he wouldn't listen to and he literally
found her like in the dumps dying and I was like there's a cute cat bring it
home and she is she hates everyone except me
she's like she's like the Twitter of cats.
And damn, that was funny in my head.
Then there is Tengis Pingus and flopsy-mopsy.
They are, they are both, they are both ragdoll cats, they are fucking wonderful cats.
They are, they're beautiful cats.
They're ridiculous to look at, I have to say. And that's, it's yet one of that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that, that, that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th th. th. th. th. the of the of the of the of the, thoooooo-a, thooo-o' that tho-o' that that that that that that that that that that that that that cats. They're ridiculous to look at, I have to say.
And that's, it's yet one of many parts of my ridiculous life, but yeah.
They make me so angry to look at, like, that these cats exist.
He's fucking, these fucking cats.
The absolute arrogance of these fucking creatures.
I'm gonna fucking bastard pieces of shit.
I'm gonna fucking go when I'm done with this podcast. I'm gonna go and have it out of them
You pieces of shit just fucking how dare you yelling slurs at my cats
And people in Australia are furious at you right now guys
Australians can't stand these cats
It's like those outbrain articles
It's big the cats everyone's fucking furious, steamed.
Find out why Australian is thrown.
Sensed.
But yeah, those are all my animals.
It's a lot of animals.
Yeah, it is.
Big house.
I'm one animal.
One animal.
One animal, I'm like, get out of here.
And you're on a podcast with him. Hey!
How rack them. No pets for Lucy? I can't have pets. I live alone. I live a very sad life. I'm at work all the time. A dog would be miserable.
Get a cat. I hate cats. I hate cats. Weird creatures. Hide creatures.
But enough about you. Hey! I'm sorry that was, that was a creatures. Hideous creatures. But enough about you.
Hey! I'm sorry, that was, that was, oh that was a mean one. I'm sorry, I mean I just got called a fat sedentary.
I'm just lashing out at this point. You could turn into one of those, um, one of those like snake or spider girls, you know.
Look, I'm past that.
I've grown out of that.
Just have a snake on you all the times.
Now on the rat girl.
Like rats.
I've always found those people who like, yeah, rats,
they're just so smart.
They like, you can keep them in your jacket and they just pull out a fucking rat. Oh, I don't get like, you're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their they they they they their they th. You th. You th. th. th. th. th. th. that. that. that. that. that. thi. thi. they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. thin. thin. thin. the. the. the. the. the. to thean. thean. thean. they're just, where do they shit? Like, are your pockets just full of shit? Yeah, I love, I love
people who go to the, go to the mat for their vermin pets. They're actually not dirty.
They're not dirty. They're not dirty. They're not not shit. They shit once a month. Are we defending rats. Are we defending rats? I don't want to be a the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their to to to their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th.

Yeah.
Love to die.
Any other questions?
Do we need to...
Do we have anything else?
What have we got?
It's an...
Oh, here we go.
Lover, lover of the show, Travis Jordan, asks,
what is the best DC movie or TV show, and why is it eye zombie?
See, eye zombies a, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's a that's a that's a that's a eye zombies are that's a deep car. It's also a very good television
show. It's very, very good. I really, eye zombie is a great example of a show that did well by having a very
good cast and just fully accepting how stupid it was. They knew how stupid it was and they didn't pretend like oh yeah we have to, I also didn't, I thought it was vertigo, not DC. But. It is, it is vertigo, but it's. But, but it's. But, but it's the. But, the. But, the. But, the. But, the. the. the. the. the. the. the the the the. the the the the the. the the the the the the the the the the t. It's a t. It's a tele. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. It's a t. C. C. C. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. I also didn't, I thought it was Vertigo, not DC, but...
It is, it is Vertigo, but it's a DC imprint, I guess.
Ah, right, right, right.
All right, so... I believe it's technically a DC thing.
My Fedora is spinning.
And...
No, I-Zombie is definitely the best if you have to be technical like that.
The flash used to be the th. th. the to be the to be the to be the to be technical like that. The flash used to be fucking great and then just
for the reasons the I-Zombie is good, the flash became bad because it stopped being a stupid show. It stopped accepting. It was about the very fast man and his friends who were fun to watch on screen,
and they were like, oh we have to get into that walking dead, lost bullshit where you always
have some crazy show defining moment that needs to happen versus you can have a cool thing happen then just wrap it up
You don't need to make it like a whole fucking thing
So now the shows and then they had the worst villain ever on it the thinker like his
Literally, he's on the flash the flash no zombie is just fucking dumb constantly, but it's so good at it
Yeah, and it acknowledges how stupid it is. I will always take, you know, sort
of deliberately, or just self-awareness. I will always take self-aware dumbness.
But it's not self-aware, dumb.
You're like, oh God, we get it. So, it's not like winking at the camera. Yeah.
It's very high production value, stupid. Like it knows exactly, like it's a town full of zombies like it's not pretending like it's sophisticated prestige television
like that fucking piece of shit Westworld and sorry letting that let in the
tiger out a bit there but look no don't don't don't worry you're not
going to find any strong defenders of prestige
TV here I think.
Those people rule, those people are even funnier than Elon Musk people.
But yes, so um.
But I will absolutely take, you know, not, yeah, not self-aware, dumbness so much as just, just,
just embracing what it is. Embracing what it is, I will absolutely take that over the self-seriousness of like a fucking
Zach Snyder DC movie.
Oh, they're so fun.
Did you see Suicide Squad?
I did.
I did.
The funniest thing about that is still when they play sympathy for the devil when they go to see the suicide squad? Because you see, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their thoughly thoughly thoughly thoughly thoughly thoughly thoughly though. I'll absolutely. I'll absolutely. I'll absolutely. I though. I though. I though. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I the. I'll the. I'll the. I'll the. I'll thea. I'll thea. I'll theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat theat thea. I for the devil when they go to see the suicide squad because you see
they're the heroes of the story and then every time they flip between them they have a different song and then when they become an army they play seven nation army.
It was just, it was so fucking I was pissing myself laughing especially the Joker, who, and I stick by my completely
made up theory that no one gave Jared Leto a script.
They just let him... He just turned up.
He just turned up and they didn't tell him what was going to happen so common was just
there going, wait, what the fuck is this shit?
He's like, ah, you're why he looks really confused because he does not
know he thought he was doing like a serious movie. Also he lies down in this pile
of knives that's perfectly shaped like him lying down like what if he slipped?
Well I like to imagine before scenes like that you know just 20 to 30 minutes of him
carefully placing the knives down. Just in a silent room.
The Joker's in turn.
Yeah.
Oh God, I have to put down the fucking knives.
Why?
Oh, he wants to lie down on it laughing later.
Oh, fuck.
See, suicide squad is genuinely one of the only things where like.
Suicide squad is genuinely one of the only things where I would be really curious to see what the sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort the sort sort sort sort sort sort sort sort the sort sort sort sort the sort sort sort sort sort the sort the sort sort the only things were like I would be really curious to see what the sort of original cut of that was like because it's also very clearly a movie that has
been like mangled. Butch it hacked to pieces. I mean absolutely mangled by like a
studio Tom foolery and everything and I'll give um it was it David Ayer that
directed it because I'll give him I'll give him his um
what else did he do? He did Bright um, or cop points. He did Bright, the Orcop movie.
Oh, is it the same guy?
I never saw that.
Oh, it's so good.
Bright's so much better than Suicide Squad.
They say, they say fairy lives matter in that, right?
They do.
Yes, they do.
Well, uh, no, Will Smith says they don't matter.
Oh, thiii. which is very strange that they have a black guy playing a life doesn't matter.
Playing a cop, saying that in the films universe a minority's life doesn't matter.
But that's the Max Landis script for you though.
Yeah, yeah.
But David Ayer also did like Training Day and I think...
Oh, I did Fury. Yeah, I loved Fury was good. Of course
they're all relatively self-serious movies but um but yeah like you're
saying it that that whole that whole beginning of Suicide Squad is like very
clearly that they that they had tried you know wanted to do like a bunch of
different origin story bits or whatever and instead they've got to direct it so they had to leave it like that. Yeah and they've got they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're th th th th thy tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho they're they're they they they they they they kid got to direct it, so they had to leave it like that.
Yeah, they've got it. What if instead we cut all of this down to about 40 seconds of montage
and song cues?
I think there's a different song cue every 10 seconds.
What's amazing about that though is how easy it would be if you got someone like, I've said this so many times there's so many movies so many movies so many movies so many movies so m so many movies. so m so many movies. I the th so many movies. I th so many movies. I th so many movies. I th. I've th. I've to to to thi. I've to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. If. If th. thi. thi. thi. thi. the. the the the. the the the the the the. the the the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. to this so many times there's so many movies on Twitter, but Mark Neveldin.
The crank bloke, the guy who the gamer, two brilliant movies. He'd have done like a 93-minute suicide squad movie with the same cast and it would have been great.
Yeah. It would have been fantastic because all you need to do is have a fucking dumb movie
with, you've got Will Smith, he was fine. It's just none of nothing's fun anymore
Everything has to be fucking serious and fucking a franchise and
But then you get audience the galaxy which is still fucking franchise, but good. I don't know
Well, I think I think the whole DC issue is that they said hey, we'll let Zach Snyder do the first couple, and then
that has set the visual tone for the film's universe.
Cepia.
Yep, sepia and gritty reimagining.
Everybody attempting to do fucking Nolan's Dark Night 10 years after the fact.
It's not good.
In Australia, they love to do like, they love to make us go, you know, don't do drugs because this this this this this this this this this this this this th. because this th.. It's not good. In Australia they love to do like they love to
make us go you know don't do drugs because this is like where your drugs are
cooked and they always show like this really grimy photo of like toilet
with all this like chemistry set coming out and stuff and it's like really like
under-saturated and the contrast is all blown out. That's a Zach Snyder movie is that toilet. what I love I the the the the the they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were they were their they were their their their their their their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their. th. th. their. their. they're th. th. they're the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. theeeeeeee. the. the. the. the, is that toilet. What I love about the Chris Nolan Batman though, last one, was they were trying to do this
big, serious, meaningful movie, and then they had a giant blocomer, go,
bleh! What is it? What is it? And it was just so fucking funny. I was crying with laughter
in the cinema and everyone was like, shh, shh, it was important.
Man's talk is like,
blah, I'm gonna go all these people.
It's just, it's so funny.
I was just crying with laughter.
Oh boy.
Oh, I was worried that my, might have died again for a second now.
Oh my God. Oh my God.
Oh my God!
It would be fine at this point.
We would just say something mean about you and then close the podcast off.
Yeah, that's fair.
All right, well let's do that now then.
Would you like to say something mean before we wrap this up?
No. Me? Anyone else? I don't know. And you're the guest, you can see. Yeah, you first. Yeah, we'll do like a round robin kind of thing.
I don't know. Where do you, where are you from? Where were you born?
Oh, I was born in the city that everybody in Australia likes to talk shit about.
Adelaide. Never heard of it. It's probably shit. There we go.
Job done. Yeah, but like I have Yeah, no. That's correct. There we go. Job done.
Job done. Yeah, but like I have no, no. I did watch neighbors.
That's about all I know. Well, like, I was born in Adelaide and like, because my, my dad was in the air force.
Like, two weeks later, we left the country, we were like posted to the states. Right.
And so, you know, years and years later, I remember saying to my parents like, oh, you know,
I've never actually been back to Adelaide and seen what's like, maybe I should go there and check it out.
And they were both like, eh.
I wouldn't. Yeah, yeah, they legit just both said, oh, you could could just not. Yeah, just giving a miss.
Not to remember something and actually comment on it,
but my favorite people are the people getting mad
at Sasha Barron Cohen.
After we just like insulted Sasha Baron Cohen on this podcast,
but he'd be like, blah, yeah, he's like,
I the Fisher, I can't believe someone where, like, someone who was like a television star for like 20 years and then had a Hollywood career.
And people are like, there's a large group of conservative dudes who are like trying to make fun of her for having no career and having to leach off of Sasha Baron Cohen.
Leave Violet Fisher alone. And she's also a huge success. Yeah, I would argue liketrue-calling with movies. Like a national treasure.
Like, she's loved even in England.
I would argue that Isla Fisher has had a far more consistent film career than Sasha Barron Cutting.
And is better at acting and stuff.
Yeah.
She's funny in everything that she's in.
She's in movies constantly.
And, um, like But look it up like all these
conservative men who are like, die, yeah, she's a dumb ass, yeah she's with Sasha
Baron Cohen, which is a fair thing, like you married Sasha Baron Cohen, like,
wonder if she knows, but nevertheless, um, it's like their argument is like that she's
so useless that she has to marry someone like that, it's like, maybe they should say that about him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him him that about him that about him that about him that that that that that that that th. thi, thi, thi, like, like, thi, like, thi, thi, like, thi, th. th. She's, th. She's, th. She's, th. She's, she's, she's, th. She's, th. She's, th. th. th. She's, th. th. She's, th. She, th. She, th. She, th. She, th. She, th. She, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, thee, that, that, that, theeeeeee, theee, thee. the. the. the, the, the,'s so useless that she has to marry someone like that it's like ugh maybe they should say that about him radical
feminism right but yeah like like you saying I had a point it didn't come out
well though it's just not just fell apart like a podcast it tends to make
more sense to like criticize a woman for being a gold digger or you know
leveraging someone else's career
or whatever, if they're not a very successful actor in their own right?
Which is like the whole... The opposite of Vila Fisher. It's like the whole, you know,
and... I don't even know why I'm talking about it because I don't care at all.
People saying the same thing about fucking Megan Markle marrying into the royal family.
It's like she was rich.
Who gives a fuck?
Two rich dipshits.
Yeah, congratulations.
They get to be rich together now.
The only lack of similarity with them was she didn't dress up like a Nazi.
She didn't dress up like a Nazi. Yeah. But the only way of separating them, other than them looking completely different and
speaking a different way and being for different countries, basically identical.
Well, so, is there, you doing anything that needs plugging it?
Oh, Ed's, it's my ass, oh.
And we come back to the little kidding submarine again.
We all...
Oh, no, I'm not going to...
Yellow submarine. It's probably a horrible,
it's probably a horrible racist joke in there, honestly.
But let's avoid it.
You just followed me.
Did I?
This what?
Go on?
No, I'm not going to do it.
You do the racism. You're from Australia.
Your thing.
I'm not going to culturally appropriate.
We learned it from you.
We learned it from racism genius.
Yes.
Yeah, I only just say follow me on Twitter.
Edz it's Etz.
I'm only able to say Z on on here, because they say it properly
in Australia.
It's one thing we go double-for us.
Mostly tweets about Zyborn Clock, so check that out.
My favorite game.
And I, honest to God, got told by a writer today.
It's really interesting. You're like a successful PR guy, but you're also incredibly chaotic and uncontrollable online.
Like, oh thanks, what a random fucking comment to make out of nowhere without me talking to you.
And they got very angry and blocked me.
Well, congratulations on your successful career despite being a mammoth shit poster.
It's like what...
Overcoming your, uh, your odds.
My, my, my, my, my, my lead poisoning, yeah.
Overcoming my lead poisoning.
All right, thanks for me on though, everyone.
You're very welcome.
We've been meaning to do it for a while, haven't we?
All right, it's an absolute pleasure.
Wonderful. Well, as always folks, you can find bonus episodes over on Patreon.com forward slash Bondevista.
And that's about it.
Well, we don't know.
Did you want to lead this one out?
Oh, sorry.
With what?
Well, fine, I'll do it.
More like Ed.
told you. Oh my God. What the- Damn it! Sorry, Ed, it has actually been lovely, but it has been rules of rules.
She has been waiting for an hour to say.
Let me just say, let's see, just one second,
9-1-1.
There we are.
The police are on their way to Australia.
You will speak to my lawyer in the morning.
Ours is triple zero because 911 is far too complicated for our tiny Australian.
Tiny racist brains.
Do you all accidentally, like, when you're trying to skip things on an automated line,
accidentally call an ambulance or something?
It's just shit.
Oh damn it.
Don't need you, just try to get through the fucking phone company.
All right, I'll leave it, sorry.
I know you're trying to end this podcast.
It'll never end.
Thanks very much Ed.
Thank you.
We'll see you next week.
Bye. Thank you.
