Welcome to Bente Vista episode 81. Um, Ocho? What's one in Spanish? Uno. Uno. Ocho 1o, that's probably 81 in Spanish. Sure, 1 in Spanish. I'm Andrew. I'm here with Lucy. Hello. Good day. And see you. Hello.

Bonjorno. And a good Bonjorno to you. Yes, a Merry Bonjorni. Merry Bonjornos for us all. Oh, what's going on guys? How are we? I'll let Theo answer that one. Hot, sweaty, drinking a Pino Noir. Oh, are you guys on the wine tonight? That's a strange summer choice. Is it chilled? No? What? No? No? Hmm. It's just interesting. It's just interesting. Pop a, here's a tip for you, Theo.

Just pop a couple of ice cubes in there. Yeah, chuck a few ice cubes in your red wine. Oh no. Tumbling down the rabbit hole like the guy in Brazil. This is not, this is not a thing right? You don't put ice cubes? They're chilled. No, don't, well... You can chill it. They have refrigerated red wine in Italy. I stand by.

But I think the ice cubes are a bit much. They tend to be the lighter red wines, they don't know. No, I'm drinking room temperature, red wine, so there's a no net change in temperature red wine so there's a no net change in temperature as I introduced it to my body. I guess neither a win nor a lose except in terms of taste. Oh I'm having a cold frosty singer the old Thai beer not a not a singer fan no I didn't know it was a racist podcast now. Oh product of Thailand. I did not find a single drinkable beer in Thailand, but...

Really? Good luck. Yaks. Hmm. Interesting. Well, I feel like we've only just come back. Oh, we should also send our apologies from Ben. But his beloved George has come acropper and has been receiving repeated surgeries as a result. They're giving her the eye laser that Kano for Mortal Kombat has. So that's going to be pretty cool, I think.

Oh, ideally yes. Oh my goodness. I watched both the Model Combat movies recently, as is my want, and not great. Not great. Wasn't Ben standing behind the first Mortal Kombat movie? Maybe he was, but like, it's just a very, it's a very, it's a very confused like melanch of genres and it's it also exists at like a very strange period in time. Yeah, absolutely. That mid-90s, it's like a, it's a Kung Fu movie before like

America started being able to do martial arts movies in any capacity. It was still kind of in that like Michael Dudakoff in American Ninja kind of era. And it's also like from an era where They just assumed that video games were for children. So it's a child's movie, it's PG-13, where really it should be an R-rated, you know, like a hard-R- spine-team ripped out kind of deal. They should do an R-rated remake, that'd be great. Absolutely. It seems like something that people have been trying to make happen for so long, an R-rated Mortal Kombat. Well I reckon like, you look at how they've, they've their their they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've re-theed they've re-theed they've re-theed they've re-toded their their their their their their their thated thed thed thed th. th. th. th. th. th. It's th. It's 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. theee. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. trying to make happen for so long. An R-rated Mortal Kombat. Well, I reckon like, you look at how they've rebooted the games, right? And that's been super successful. Surely they can apply the same sort of approach there.

A friend of the show, Josh Lewis, who was on recently, with me and Ben's talking about Christmas movies and that sort of thing, Josh from the Slezoids podcast. Him and Jamie did an episode on there recently, not that recently actually months ago, where they did the first model combat movie and the Street Fighter movie from like 1994 or whatever it was with Jean Clove Van Damne, Kylie Minogue and Raul Julia. Raul? Yeah. What a weird piece that one is as well. But yeah it's I guess like you said it's an interesting it's an interesting period in movies because it's very very clear that not only do they think

are video games are for kids and we are adapting them but also it's very clear that not only do they think video games are for kids and we are adapting them but also it's very clear that like no one involved has ever played a video game or the video game that they are currently adapting into a movie very good it's like the Mario Brothers movie. Good film quality cinema. That's a weird one you are if you watch you can find like the Mario Brothers movie. Mmm, good film. Quality cinema. That's a weird one. You are, if you watch, you can find like, those crazy sort of oral histories about that movie. And apparently the, it was like a husband-wife team

that was like the writer and director and stuff, and they were like, we have, we saw the game where we were like, fuck this. We're gonna do some dark- the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the're gonna do some dark dystopian future shit. And they did. God bless them. Yeah, God bless them. I mean, Mario has no character or story or whatever, so they're working with basically nothing. Yeah, so fuck it, why not make Blade Runner, but make it Super Mario, you know? Yeah. Because, yeah, if you, they gave a go and they got a go, you know?

Hmm. Is this a, is this a politics thing? It's a, I'm segwaying. Smoothly seguing. Smooth. They gave a go and they got a go. And that's part of giving and or getting a go. And that is the beloved catchphrase, a fucking idiotic Prime Minister, Scott Morrison. We all love to hate.

Oh, I've missed these segues, aren't you? Thank you. Like Scott Morrison is kind of, he's hatable in a really unique and different way to his predecessors, Malcolm Turnbull and Tony Abbott. He's, like, we all sort of hated Malcolm Turnbull for being like the real, you know, hollow man who just, he had his actual principles. He just wasn't doing anything with any, he just put him in a cupboard for a year or two So that he could be Prime Minister and Tony Abbott get them back out when he when it comes to time to write the book Yes, yes, absolutely And Tony Abbott has his principles and he sticks by them and they're all absolute dog shit The extreme lizard principles

Yes strange darting tongue of BDI principles of an incredibly strange man. Horrible freezing brain. And but Scott Morrison I think is like is uniquely despicable in his absolute just just absence of anything about him like he's he's just a nothing man yeah he's so so clearly just got to this point and said oh I better come up with a personality and it ain't working out it's not going so well the people do not like it no one's buying it no one's buying it there was a great piece was it was it. No one's buying it. No one's buying it.

There was a great piece. Was it Sean Kelly in the monthly maybe? Wrote a really good piece just sort of, you know, tracking his political career and it was sort of observing how at all these various turns he had very, very studiously kind of avoided ever saying or doing anything that could be attributed to him in the future as an actual as-as-as-astice, as as, as a as as as as as th th th th tho tho th tho th tho tho th th going tho' piece tho' piece tho' piece tho' piece tho' piece tho on tho on tho on thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the thi the thi the the the the thi the the the the the the. the the the the the the th. the the the th. the the th. th. th. the th. the the the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theeat the the theeee the the the the the the the the the th various turns he had very, very studiously kind of avoided ever saying or doing anything that could be attributed to him in the future as an actual position. And yeah, now we're at the point where the things he likes to talk about and, you know, as a manufactured personality, are things like, these are my shoes. These are my shoes. like, these are my shoes. These are my shoes. Oh, the shoes.

So the first things that I wear. First week back and we've got our first scandal and the scandal is, these are not my beautiful shoes. And it's so fucking dumb. To me, this like, it speaks directly to the kind of fuck up he is. He's like, he is like an absolute omnivoc up. In every direction, he will find... He can fuck anything up.

And it's truly admirable as like a... A neophyte, I think, in the fuck-ups stakes, you know, I've got many years ahead of me. To see someone performing at such a level of fuck-up is, it's almost beautiful if he wasn't running the country. It's prime like, you know, maybe, imagine if you will, that Basil Faulty was the prime minister. Basil Faulty has a, maybe, imagine if you will that Basil Faulty was the Prime Minister. Basil Faulty has a, has a, like a personality that you can pick up on some sort of like Scientology e-meter, whereas Scott Morrison is just short. Like, there's no, there's absolutely nothing

there except fuck-ups. There's no detectable personality. I love seeing pictures of him and Josh Friedenberg anywhere near like other adult humans. Josh Friedenberg looks like he's about four fucking feet tall. They just look like children. They look like two little boys. Yeah. The treasurer of this country looks like he's going to walk into a bank and go up to the counter and they're going to say,

look down at him and say, are you here to open a Dolomites account? Push a little novelty checkbook over to him. And Scott Morrison's outside with a bucket stuck on his head. Frantically wrenching it off. Oh, he's just so bad at it. And like I guess Yes, I've certainly heard people say. th th he he he, someone who couldn't even not fuck up the job of just doing tourism. Like his job, he's like, he's the Knights Watchmen, right? Like, his job is to fucking turn up and keep things ticking over until the election and not

totally fuck this up. And what do we get? We get Photoshoped shoes. So to try and explain this as, you know, if you are Scott Morrison and you are running a very, a very currently imperiled government, just rolling scandals from week to week, just, you know, you've got people dropping out for all sorts of stuff. You've got different ministers, you know, dropping like flies, barely holding on to power. What you want to see in your first week back is everybody laughing at you because the photo on the front page of your Prime Ministerial website is a photo of you and your family, you and your wife and your kids all sitting on like a picnic blanket or some grass or whatever, smiling for the camera, and you are wearing

what appears to be a pair of glowing white tennis shoes photoshopped onto your feet, and both of them are a left foot, which, you can't write this sort of thing. Oh, it's incredible. So good. Um, so good. Landon, like, obviously it begged a lot of questions, like, why? Why? Why?

Why? Why? Why? Why? Who looked at the photo and said, we cannot have this mfucker out here with these shoes. What departments is this passing through where they get the photo? It goes to like the media department. They're like, well, we can't afford a copy of Adobe Creative Cloud. That's too expensive now, so we'll fire up MS Paint, we'll put that on there.

We'll pass this to the guy that updates the website. He's going to see it, think nothing of it, won't think oh someone's photoshopped two left feet on our Prime Minister, the guy is currently in charge of the country and then uploads it. Like how does this happen? Who? Like I've done a lot of photoshopping in my day and the idea of just getting, getting one shoe and photoshopping it vaguely into position. Not even feathering it. And then just going, I'm just going to duplicate that layer and make the other foot. Very, very good. Being the brave soul that he is, when people started laughing

at him about this, Scott Morrison, immediately threw his staffers under the bus. They put out a statement saying, this was done by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet with no visibility or authorization or consent for me at all. I don't know why they did it, which is great. Great look. You love when the department that is in charge of taking care of your day-to-day affairs and your business gets something wrong, and so you say they're a big bunch of fuckups, and they fucked it up without telling me they were going to fuck it up. Great stuff.

Great stuff there. I just can't fathom why. Like what was wrong with the original shoes? That they needed to make new shoes. They just looked like used, like tennis shoes, you know? So they wanted him to look like a man who has brand new shoes? The newest shoes. The newest of shoes. Who knows? It did give him a chance to then post a photo of those shoes on his own feet. On Twitter.

It was like, oh, to the media department, if you're going to Photoshop anything on to me, make it some more hair. These are my favorite shoes that I wear any time I can not be wearing a suit. And then like, yeah, 600 people replied saying, shut the fuck up. Because you just, it just sucks. Just sucks. So much. But like, I think that's very representative of sort of where they're out as a government.

Is that they're doing so little with anything that people have got time to say, what the fucks up with these shoes? What are those? He's shoes too white for he got damn feet. That is so true. That is so true. Oh, God damn. So, you know, if it's not that, it's bloody Nazi rallies, you know?

Oh, one, you know, one extreme to the other, I guess. Yep. White shoes, white Australia, am I al right? Yikes. Yelch. Yep. White shoes, white nationalists, we've got it all in this country. Yeah, so we also had another bit of fun over the last week or two which was, um, um, um, um, um, so, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, th, uh, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you one, you 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 thin, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho-one, the the the the thooooooo' the the thoooo' to to this country. Yeah, so we also had another bit of fun over the last week or two, which was some white nationalists organizing a rally in St. Kilda in Melbourne. The purported reasoning being, we have to take back our streets from the marauding fictional African gangs led by friend of the show, Matt Brady.

Mm-hmm. We really got to get Matt back on here to really fucking explain himself about this. Yeah. Clear this up. It's no good. Have you tried talking to your mates? Geez. Turn it down a notch.

Ask them to simply stop committing all the crimes, which they are committing all of the crimes. Apparently, yeah, apparently, what is like 0.2% of the population committing 100% of the crimes. Apparently. They are working overtime. Well actually doing the work that we don't want to do. It's true. It's true. I've read a lot of Facebook comments and it seems that a lot of people have the 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 are they they they are they they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are doing they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are they are th. th. th. th. th. th. th do. It's true. I've read a lot of Facebook comments and it seems that a lot of people have anecdotal evidence about a gang that attacked them and tried to steal their car so you know who might argue with that. Luckily all these people got away unscathed and kept their cars. Yeah it seems like it didn't file a police report or anything but yep lived to comment on a post another day. Yeah, so um

So this is already pretty shit We had the usual debate that we have about this sort of stuff which is Should the left turn out and counter protest are you giving these people what they want or is there no reason that People should not? Turn up and say hey this shit is completely unacceptable and we will? And the, thi the the thi thi, um um um um um um um um um um um um so so so so so so so so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so thi, so thi, so this this this this this shit, so this shit, so this shit, so this this this this this this this this this this this shit, so this this shit, um, so this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this shit, so this this shit, so this shit, so thi, so thi, so thi, so thi, so thi, so thi, um, thi. thi. thi. thi. So thi. So thi. So thi. So thi. So, um, thi. thi. So, um, thi. So, um, um, thi's thi. So, um, thi's thi's thi's thi's ththere no reason that people should not turn up and say, hey this shit is completely unacceptable and we will drown you out? So we had all of that usual stuff. I'm pretty sure like Blair Cottrell and other like convicted racists were there. Convicted criminals as well as just the racist convictions.

Super duper racist. So but then, but then a sitting senator appeared to hang out with the Nazis which is super cool. Have a guess what state is from if you're listening. Have a guess right now. I mean, I think that's particularly fair to, you know, isn't it? Paint all members of one, one place with the same rush. We're not painting all members, but we're saying they all come from there.

Yeah. Not racist, but number one with racists. Yeah, we are of course talking about Senator Fraser Anning, the man who was too racist for one nation in the Bob Catter Party. Oh no, he just immediately quit one nation as soon as he got elected and he didn't even really get elected. Because Malcolm Fraser, no sorry not Malcolm Fraser, Malcolm. I don't think he was. I don't think he was. Probably not, probably not.

Malcolm Roberts, weird little moon unit, Goblin Man. Is this where Fraser Running came from? I remember him. I do remember him. Fuck that, that's a, uh, finger pulling down on the monkey poor kind of, kind of situation, isn't it? Yeah, we want to get rid of to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th of to to th of th of th of th of th of th of thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi- thi- thi- th, probably th, probably th, probably thi-in, probably thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi-u thi-u thi-u thi-u thi-ffew thi-few thi-few thi-a, probably probably probably probably probably probably the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi-fooomoomoomoomooomooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom-foompernui-fo of this guy. Get rid of this weird fucking moon unit who thinks that there's no such thing as climate change. All right he's gone. Oh no. And sliding into his place is the man who gave his maiden speech to the Senate in which he called for a quote-unquote final solution to the immigration problem.

Just a tipped fucking Petry dish of pure strain racism. for a quote unquote final solution to the immigration problem. Tipped, tipped fucking Petri dish of pure strain racism. Yep. Yep. About as gross as it gets. I believe you can go back and listen to an episode of I was entitled A Day at the Racists. Good time, folks. Go back. Listen to it. Go through the back of Carlog. You might surprise yourself. That is, um, that is in our top five most listened episodes ever. I think the title has a lot to do it. It's a great title. It's a good title. It's just the time. The episode, dog shit. Sucks. Absoluted. Absolutely. So yes, we went over some of the more notable bits from his maiden's speech episode 61.

I would describe it as worse than you can imagine. Hmm. Yeah. Twenty whole episodes ago, episode 61. And so, wouldn't you know it, Fraser Anning turned up at this rally to support the white supremacists. He used taxpayer money to do so, which is great. Because according to himself, it was electorate business. Because the concerns of Queenslanders are the African gangs in Melbourne obviously.

Have we lost Andrew? Oh no. Oh no, what do we do? Oh no. Oof. All right. I think I'm going to grab the ornate hammer and smash the in case of losing Andrew. Um, glass case.

What's inside it? What's inside it? It's a single document. It contains all of the user names, passwords, Patrion receipts. Apparently there's no money left in the Patrion. Absolutely nothing. Andrew's spent it all. He's... Trained to various slush funds to buy Andrew. His house, rib smokers, PlayStation VR. He owns all those things. He does own all those things. The evidence is it's there. Strange, technical difficulties, technical difficulties. Frasianning insisted on the tip.

Uh, strange, technical difficulties. Uh, strange. Technical. Um, phrase running insisted that the people difficulties, technical difficulties. Fraser Ranning insisted that the people who were throwing up the Roman salutes and Sigiling at this protest were actually quote-unquote loony lefties trying to make the right wingers look bad. Incredible gambit. And doing it from their side as well, crafty. Yeah, they really

looked like lefties, all those like middle-aged white guys with shitty tattoos. It's your classic lefty really. Classic lefty look. They're in deep. Deep, deep cover. Yeah, so like, like I said, we did have the usual debate of like, oh should, like there were people like, um, how was it, Michelle Laurie? Michelle Laurie definitely, definitely say, look, oh, the only way we win is to not turn up and just have them. Just ignore them. March unimposed through the streets.

Seems weird. I'm sure, look, I'm sure the intention there is to avoid the kind of American anti-fa sort of situation where the counter-protests, you know, trigger some sort of thing that can be taken photo of and put in the news. Yeah, it looks bad, right? But like, like, to turn it, to not, 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, to th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi it, thi their their. It thi, thi, th. It th. It th. It th. It th. It seems, seems. It their. It seems, seems. It seems. It seems, seems, seems. It their. It seems, seems, seems, th. It seems, th. It seems, th. It seems, th. It seems, th. It seems th. It seems thi. It seems thi. It seems thi, thi. Seems thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to be to be to be to be weird, to be weird, seems weird, to be weird, to be weird. Seems weird. Seems weird. Seems weird. Seems weird. Seems weird. to be weird. the the thi. Seems, thi some sort of thing that can be taken photo of and put in the news. It looks bad, right? But like, it doesn't do shit for the people that these people are targeting, right? So, like, if you're, you know, in the vast number of groups that these people explicitly hate, and there's, you know, hundreds of Nazis showing up in your hometown, unopposed, that's got to feel th th to feel to feel to feel to feel to feel to feel to feel thi that's to feel that's that's you know hundreds of Nazis showing up in your

hometown unopposed that's got to feel pretty shitty I think. Yeah I completely agree I think I would hope that yeah if you were a person of color in that community and you were or an immigrant or whatever and you were looking at one of those rallies that seeing like two or three times as many people turn up to say, fuck this noise, we are absolutely not about this in our community, that that would at least be of some reassurance to you rather than like just having, like like said, having a bunch of people mobilize and then do that and be guarded by the police and... And I mean, I think fortunately the worst didn't happen, where we didn't, we didn't see,

you know, violence on the kind of counter-protest side or that could be attributed, I should say, and the end result, I think, in the newspapers ended up being like pretty unanimous condemnation. Even from like Courier Mail, the Australian, they all ran pieces, front pages I believe that that said, you know, attributed to hate groups and all this sort of stuff so I think fortunately the optics were there and we didn't end up with some sort of like horrible both sides situation unless you believe the prime minister or definitely not phrase anything but whatever. Yeah I think I think I think the the debate that sort of sprung up that was more interesting to me Was like as as people were sort of you know, this was popping up on Twitter and that sort of thing and people were looking at it saying?

Hey, how about these Nazis fuck off and then you had like your middle-aged white like boomer type progressives going you you know your liberals for lack of a better term saying they're technically not Nazis well this was fun Mark Mike Carlton who people follow because he's vaguely left and swears. Like, yeah, they're too bad they dressed to be Nazis. Nazis are dapper. Like, both managing to downplay the racists that are quite obviously all through our society,

and compliment Nazis on the way out. Well, and there was the other guy who was like the opinions editor from the ABC, who was like, yeah. They don't have enough of like a consistent ideology and to be considered Nazis. And that was more the, it's more the interesting argument to me that was popping up was like, yeah, just middle-aged white people saying well they're you know they're technically not Nazis don't call them Nazis and shit and it's like you look at the fucking photos of people

like you said with SS helmets throwing like Roman salutes and shit and it's just like so when can you? Yeah what possibly more could make you a Nazi at this point? I think it's a very strange insistence, like it's that weird sort of like, I don't know, it's like gatekeeping to fascism, it's like, I find there to be a weird similarity between like, you know, alt-right type meme lord people who go, oh, well, actually, like, the, well, actually, like, you know, alt-right type meme lord people who go, oh well actually there was only a national socialist party in Germany in the 30s and that stopped existing after the Second World War so only people who were in that were technically Nazis and can be called Nazis and it's just this like pathetic cop-out,

you know, try to do the, ah, I will best this person with a logic and facts debate. Yeah, like it changes the fact that these people are cosplaying American History X in the streets. Yeah, I mean, the fact that people are even expressing admiration for the ideology and adopting its symbols should all just be enough to the enough the the the the the the the the the the the the the try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try the fact that people are even expressing admiration for the ideology and adopting its symbols should all just be enough to make people go. And you're standing side by side with these people as well. Yep. Yep. And the fact that you're hearing that stuff both from alt-right type people and also from like I said sort of you know middle-aged lefty boomers

who are like oh well you know Nazism is a consistent ideology and all sort of thing and friend of the show Jason Wilson wrote a good a good piece about this for the Guardian where he was saying well for starters no it was like he was saying that the idea that the idea that fascism has like this this really strong consistent internal ideology is just bullshit. That it's that that fascism is far more about like a mood that is adopted by political powers and leaders within a country and exploited as opposed to You know somebody setting out a party platform that says we are going to do fascism now

Everybody sign on on the fascism line. So it was um that was interesting to me that that was kind of where that that debate seemed to lie and like? Yeah it also, it also, it's, it also, it's, it's, it that was to be a, that, that's, that, that, that, that, that, that, that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that was, that was, that was, that was, that was, that was, that was, that was, th, that's a th, thi, thi thi's a thi's thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th is th., th., th., th, th is th., th., th is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they they they that that that that, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the thooooooooooooo. tho, kind of where that debate seemed to lie and like... Yeah. It also seems like it's easier for people to brush the whole thing off as an aberration and as this little blip of the most extreme of the extreme kind of thing. Yeah like the Krenella riots type thing, but it's not. It's like a symptom of something much more widespread than I would like to think. Yeah and yeah I guess like by by getting into like these nitty-gritty distinctions about, well, are they technically Nazis?

It seems like by getting into that, like you said, people are minimizing the significance of these sorts of groups. And at the same time, they're also, for some reason, avoiding, you know know calling them what they are which is white nationalists and white supremacists. It's just this constant thing though of like oh the left says everyone that they don't agree with is a Nazi. Yeah when it's really just been like several years of left us being like hey this thing sounds like it could lead to Nazism this

thing sounds like it could lead to Nazism. This thing sounds like it could lead to Nazism. And then there's like literal Nazis with SS helmets doing Seekail the streets and it's still like, oh I don't know about that. Oh, they're just dickheads. It's like, yeah, at what point do you need to go? This is fucked up and unacceptable. But like I said, even then, you know, it still seems like the vast majority of the time in Australian thiiiiiiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. It's like, th. It's like, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, th. It's, thi. It's, thi. It's like, the. It's like, thee. It's like, theeeeat theeeat the. It's like, like, like, the. It's like, like, like, theat the time in Australian media, the most you can expect is for groups like this to be labeled as far right. Far right. You know, which is, which to me is kind of as vague as you can make it while saying like, I mean, like, you know, to me, the sort of hard right of conservative politics in Australia that is not even considered extreme to a lot of people is fucked up to me.

Like, it's essentially white supremacist. Yeah. Like, you know, you're Kevin Andrews and Philip Ruddick type people Where they're just you know 75 year old white dudes talking about how much better the country was when everybody was Was you know a nice a nice white Christian family and that all that already to me is is just White supremacist politics So these groups that are mobilizing and saying we want all that? that? al. that all that al today? to? 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. 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. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the 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 to the the the the the the the the the thethat are mobilizing and saying we want all of these Muslims and Africans and refugees and migrants out of our country,

we want our country to be for people who look like us. It's like how, what does it need to be before you can just label these groups as white nationalists? Yeah, like these people are specifically stating that they want African and Muslim migrants gone. Like, at what point are you willing to be like, you know what? I'm a white supremacist. Yeah, it's not, it's not vague or anything. And yeah, I think, um, I don't know, I saw somebody saying something along the

lines of, that this insistence on wanting to sort of nitpick the categorization of people as Nazis and that sort of stuff and get people labeled into all the different groups and all that kind of thing. It's like a convenient way of brushing aside the fact that Australia itself is built on like, you know, white supremacy. It's built on genocide. It's a country that from whatever stage had a literal white Australia policy. Yeah, not that long ago, really, in the grand scheme of things. Yeah. And, um, yeah, so it's very easy to sort of push all that stuff out of your mind

by getting into nitpicky arguments about who is technically and is not a Nazi. Apparently nobody. Apparently you can't literally be a Nazi unless you're Hitler. Yeah. They're just pretending to be a Nazi. Apparently nobody. Apparently you can't literally be a Nazi unless you're Hitler. Yeah. They're just pretending to be a Nazi. They're doing it to piss off the left, which is one that I heard. The pretending to be a Nazi and doing, and like all that sort of stuff. All that kind of thing just makes me think of like the, the like, um, like lounge room racism, just like the, the doing irony racism, you know, where it it it it it it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, where it's, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 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's, they's, they's, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, the, they're, the, the like, like, um, like lounge room racism, just like the doing irony racism, you know, where it's like, well, at a certain point, you're just doing racism. Mm-hmm. So at a certain point of owning an SS helmet and stuff with swastikers on it and doing sick

hiles and saying, Hyl Hitler to people in public. At what point are you just doing it? Yeah. Yeah. It's not like owning like friends memorabilia ironically or some other stupid show. It's like you don't do narcissism like ironically. It's not cute. It's not funny. Yep I think by that point you've kind of transcended the irony. Oh my god. You guys hear that? Someone's unhappy. Yeah, sound like a cat being strained. Yeah excuse me for a moment. Hold on. This is an excuse for Andrew just to go do diarrhea. Yeah I think he was just making some like throwing his voice doing like kids screams.

But the ribs, they've hit him. They've hit him. Being like a ventriloquist so he can go shit. What do you do when kids are screaming? Do you just tell him not to? I just read an article tonight. It's like this whole, um, they're not that age, but like the whole cryed-out thing is bullshit.. th-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-and-in, th-in, th-in, th-in, th-in, th-in, th-in, th-in'-in'-in'-in'-in'-in'-in'-like, th-t-t-t, th-t, th-t, th-t, th- th- th- th- they've they've they've they've hit, they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they've they're they're they're they're they're they're th. They've th. They've th. They're th. They're th. They're th. They're th. They're th. They're-in. They're th. I. I. I. I-in. I-I-I-I-I'-I've-I've-I've th-I've hit-I've hit him. I've hit him. I've hit him. I've hit him. I've hit him. I've hit him. I've thin. I've th- whole, they're not that age, but like the whole cry it out thing is bullshit. And then like you know, you're not supposed to go and like, cuddle your baby until it goes to sleep.

You just leave it till it like throws up on itself out of stress or whatever. And then someone's like, no, this article's bullshit, that's what you should be doing and it's like, oh god, great. What do you do with children? Nothing. He's back. Hi everyone. What did I miss? Just talking about parenting and what you should do and how you could be a better parent.

Big sticks. We didn't have any answers. Big sticks that you hit him with. So, um, so you know, who technically is and is not a Nazi, who could say? Um, who knows? It's a very broad category, Andrew. Oh, oh. Theo. Check this out. Oh, my goodness. The you! Check this out. Theo! Oh, my goodness.

The student has become the master. Incredible. Oh my goodness, speaking abroad stuff. Folks, the thing that we have not even remotely touched on, in the last couple of weeks. Despite your insistent requests, repeatedly begging us. People begging us, when are you going to talk about the last couple of weeks. Despite your insistent requests repeatedly begging us. People begging us, when are you going to talk about the Andrew Broad sugar daddy scandal? So I feel like this... Now? Yeah, right now.

To answer your question. This all happened like several weeks ago. A lifetime ago in Australian politics. Yeah, yeah, it's uh... Just, just too weeks ago. A lifetime ago in Australian politics. Yeah, yeah, it's just too long ago. Everything's happening too fast now. Everything happens so much. It truly does. As I posted on Twitter, I put on Daffed Punk's random access memories. Sound of the summer. I looked at the thing.

And it was from 2013. What? No, it was 2017, I think. Surely. Furell singing that he's up all night to get lucky. Remember that? It seemed like it was only yesterday year that that was happening. Or two years over, I would say. Yeah, yep. But no, instead it's from 2013. Very upsetting.

God. So, this is a lot like that. Only several weeks have passed, yet it seems like an eternity. It all kind of happened, I think, just before we all kind of fucked off to do stuff for Christmas. It was kind of the last scandal of the year you know really rounded out the year nicely. The Nationals started their year with the scandal of Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce fucking his media advisor? Sure. Making a baby. And then saying, I don't even know whose baby that is.

She's a fucking slot. And then saying, hey, I've got to protect this baby. And then, hey, I love her. Do you remember when he handled all of that, like an absolute psycho? Oh, yeah, that was a wild time. Oh, I don't know who she was sleeping with. Could be anyone's baby. Hey, watch me, watch the baby on TV. You'll never know whose father you are.

You're a piece of shit. I loved what, yeah, when he was like, doing the interview and holding the baby and being like, oh, you sure fucked a lot of things up for people. And I'm like, yeah, it was the baby that fucked it up. Oh my God. Well, but I mean, when you think about it, you can pretty much blame anything on a baby because they're not gonna, they're gonna push back.

Where's the rebuttal, you know, You can't argue with you. You can only argue with facts and logic. And you know, babies, no good at it. No good at all. So that's how they started there, you know? And... Would you say they're going out with a bang though? Oof... Wooh!

All right, fine. Well, I don't even know if Andrew Broad got to bang on it. Gotta be funny if he didn't. I don't think he did, right? Ah, it's so good. So, so lay it out for us, Theo. How did this go down? Okay, so this is some time in August. Nationals MP, Andrew Broad, best known for being a campaigner against marriage equality, I'm reading from J.I. Hennessey's excellent article.

He has resigned as a minister after New Idea revealed that he met up with a sugar baby while on a work trip to Hong Kong. Despite the fact that Amy says she made it clear in her profile she was not interested in sex. Broad sent her messages saying he had booked a flashy room to seduce her back to and kept grabbing her hand, Powmove, and putting it on his leg. Yeah. Which lady doesn't like to touch a man's leg?

Absolutely, sure. So that's, you know, I mean, that is what it is. It's a pretty weird way to behave while you're on business overseas. But what we're really interested in here, what we're really angling for are the absolutely awful sects. Sex, I can't even say the word. I'm going to have to go and pray now. Between himself and Amy, and it's very one-sided as we will find out. So what I have proposed here folks is much like everybody's favorite series, Boat Watch from previous episodes. I have proposed that we do a dramatic reenactment of this series of sex-tis-sex watch. Sex watch.

D-da-da-da-da, da, da, da, da, I don't have it on hand. I don't have the new stinger on hand. I'm very sorry everybody. Very ill-prepared to knowing all kinds of... All kinds of issues, you know? So, um, so what we were thinking was that... Um... Um...

Sex watch. Perfect. What we were thinking was that we could have a reenactment of this with the part of Nationals MP, sorry, disgraced Nationals MP, Andrew Broad to be played by Lucy. Thank you. And I guess a lady who is a lady who is a lady who is a lady, uh, lady who is a lady, uh, the to the theat-l-a-l-uh, th was th-wa, th-wa, th-wa, th-wwa, th- Andrew Broad, to be played by Lucy. Thank you. And I guess a lady who is fin-doming him via a Sugar Daddy website. Um, not familiar with her name. Do we know her name? I don't know if we do know her name. I feel bad if we do. Amy, just known as Amy as Amy as far as Amy.

Amy will be played tonight by Theo. So guys when you're ready please take it away. I'm here to make you laugh, ensure you feel safe in my company, make you feel like the most beautiful woman in the room and then get you naked. Winky face emoji. Wink! Do you like Ozzy accents? I'm a country guy so I know how to fly a plane, ride a horse, fuck my woman.

Oh yeah. I love Ozzy accents. I think they're so sexy. Oh boy. I pull you close. Run my strong hands down your back. Softly kiss your neck and whisper, Good day mate. Oh! Oh!

Oh! And then several days later, good morning, how are you? Another several days later, hey, I just got a big promotion at work. Powerful, powerful stuff. Softly kiss your neck and whisper, good day mate. Giday mate. Just led to like, um, just several weeks of Australians freaking out about Gidey mate being just ruined. Just really totaled. Just absolutely ruined. She didn't reply so no I wonder why. That to me the gooday mate thing is obviously a crowd

please it but to me the several days of like in action and then, hey, I just got a big promotion. It's so funny. So, we might actually read to you here from, from the piece by J.R. Hennessy, for a perunner. told you, from the piece by J.R. Hennessy, the show. their friend of the show, I pull you close from my strong hands down your back, softly kiss your neck and whisper, Gidea mate. Jail says, this message is illegal under international law.

The United Nations was formed in 1945 with the express intention of creating a world in which such a message could not exist. Part of what makes it so troubling is that there's no real way to tell where the joke ends and the thirst begins. The phrase, gooday mate, contains no sexual energy to speak of. It is sexually inert. It should not appear in any self-respecting sexed. Maybe it's no surprise then that Amy does not reply to this message. So Broad responds at least a day later, good morning, how are you.

Terrible. Broad is putting himself on the back foot here. You're not organizing a business meeting here, mate. You're cobbling together a follow-up to one of the worst sexually adjacent messages ever sent. The elapsed time only makes it worse. But then he ends it with the most underrated part of the entire exchange a full three days later. Hey I just got a big promotion at work. This is basically what an alien might send after having the concept of sugar babies explained to them. Hey, I just got a big promotion at work is the sugar daddy equivalent of, can I have a hug?

Just awesome. Hit the showers, Andrew. You're all over the shop. I'm so glad that JR recognizes the, um, the underrated, hey I just got a big promotion at work just think just beautiful beautiful the real cherry on the on the shit sunday that is this exchange wonderful oh dear and Andrew Broad then immediately called the cops when informed that everybody knew about this said I'm telling the police. He did. He said, um, he said, I've been advised. Imagine being on like, okay, cubit and just like sending an opening message so bad that you have to call the cops.

Oh. Yeah, he, when, when, um, he got followed up about this by, like, the this by like the original people who published it was New Idea, I believe, Women's Magazine New Idea. And he replied with the statement, I have been advised that the person making the allegation may have engaged in criminal activity, he told New Idea. This matter has been reported to the Australian Federal Police, and I will not be making any further comment. So the quick speculation there was that he was pulling the old gambit of reporting a thing for the police so that you can immediately say, as this is under police investigation, I cannot

comment on it. Yeah, we don't comment on police matters. Like the, like Michaela Cash with all of the AWU raids stuff where basically because it has been like adjacent to a police raid for however long she has just said, won't talk about it because police. So yeah he did that. The police very quickly responded and said, no criminal offences have been committed. Meaning, sorry buddy, you just got caught out here. Is that nothing illegal about sexting someone who was not your wife?

It's just a bad look, especially when, as Theo said earlier, you were a staunch campaigner against same-sex marriage on the basis that you've got to respect the institution. Did either you guys see the thing where, I saw a thing later on where someone where there was a piece somebody was saying, apparently, that,that like somebody had posted on his Facebook page like his MP's Facebook page like two years ago somebody had said, oh you're fucking busted I know about these messages you've been sending some lady and I'm telling your wife about something totally unrelated. But it was probably true then. Yeah I'll fuck you. But yeah it just kind of went under the? Yeah, oh fuck yeah. But yeah, it

just kind of went under the radar. So somebody else had been like, hey we saw your okay Cupid messages. Gross. Yeah, I just find this whole exchange the best part about it is it's so embarrassing. It's not just like a two-way sex situation. It's like a deeply embarrassing, ignored sexed, and then hey I got a promotion message. Oh, in that case. There's 20 pictures of my pussy in that case. Like... I think, I feel like this is a familiar thing though, I mean, it definitely seems like, I could be wrong, please, if I'm wrong about this, please write in the show and provide examples,

but I feel like every time there is a scandal of a guy who is like sending pictures of his dick to some lady or sexting or whatever, it's always like the guy being way too horny and just getting these tepid responses. And just continuing. Yeah from some like a mildly interested woman or as I think is often the case with political sex scandals. It's just a lady who has been approached by one of these guys who said, hey, I've got lots of money and I'll give it all to you and make your life nice and easy and everything. And she's gone, yeah, I'll humor you. Yeah.

And you can really feel the humoring coming across in those messages. Makes a thing like Anthony Weiner and shit, you know. Just, just great stuff. Deeply embarrassing. Love it. True gift. Deeply embarrassing. Speaking of deeply embarrassing,

should we perhaps segue to a little installation of your segment, Lucy. Let's do it. Now, if you are a subscriber to the show, you have already heard that there is a new theme song. New theme song for this segment that we all love so dearly. I am, of course, talking about paging Dr. Lucy. I think I can listen to that every week. I think you can and you will. I think they need to lift one of the paintings off the wall at the Louvre to make, to make room. I think I think you can and you will. I think they need to lift one of the paintings off the wall at the Louvre to make, to make room.

Oh, just slap this one down there. Good stuff. So, to to to to to to to to to to to to that. I, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's th, th, I th, I th. I th. I th. I th.

So of course, Paging Dr. Lucy is our segment in which we examine requests for help from the Reddit Relationships subred. And Theo found one for us today, didn't you, Theo? Look, I'm always on the hunt for content. Just got to know content when you see it, you know? It's got to know content. I'm going to dive right in.

So, would you like to pull that up for us? And give her to us. Lay it on us. Oh, oh. Oh, God. Take a steaming hot load of relationship all over my chest. Oh boy. Nice. Yeah, I'd love to. Can we cut around this? Look, I think I'm going to have to be cutting around a lot of stuff. This week, to be honest. Going to be some cuts. Okay, hang on. Anyway, I've got it here. So, where is it? I'll read it to you then, Theo.

How about this? Do we have any gamers in the house? All the listeners are putting their hands off right now. Lucy's pushing people out of the way. Shove in your way. No, they've all made it back from the Nazi rallies, I see. Oh, you'll... That'll be a post-year-old male boyfriend,

quitting a shared activity for reasons I don't understand. 27-year-old female girlfriend. She says, my boyfriend is a pretty big gamer. When I first met him, I wasn't very into video games, but he introduced me to them and it's become something we like to do together. In particular, we like to play Overwatch together and usually play some games of it every few days. So it's a pretty big thing for us.

The problem started today when he heard the Blizzard made a character, Soldier 76, gay in the game's story. It doesn't actually change anything about the gameplay and I personally don't care at all. For some reason, he's really mad about it. He keeps talking about how Blizzard sold out and saying that he can't support a company that betrays their fans. He said he won't play the game anymore, which makes me pretty unhappy because it's something I really like to do with him. Am I being unreasonable reasonable that, that, that, that, thi thi that, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi makes me pretty unhappy because it's something I really like to do with him. Am I being unreasonable?

That classic lady writing into Reddit relationships in line. Am I being unreasonable? I know there are other games we can play, but Overwatch is the only one in any good app so I don't really want to abandon my favorite game. Too long didn't read, boyfriend is quitting Overwatch which we play together because a character is gay. Listen, honey. The problem in your relationship is not the Overwatch and feel like your boyfriend might have some issues. You can break up with them and keep playing Overwatch, you know. Yeah, you can play Overwatch with anyone else. See I've saw... It's a very communal game. I saw some... You can find people online them and keep playing Overwatch, you know? Yeah, you can play Overwatch with anyone else.

See I've saw... It's a very communal game. I saw some references... You can't even find people online to play it with. I think. I've not played Overwatch. You sure can. I saw some references to Soldier 76. Um... Is it my tweet where I said Soldieret that said Soldier 76 is gay with your dad? Oh, that's, yes, another, another. But this post explained it for me, which was good. And that's, it's, what sweet irony to, um, stop doing a thing that probably makes your girlfriend more inclined

to have sex with you in order to have your girlfriend break up with you and then stop having any sex with women because you're so mad that a fictional character is gay. Yeah. I mean he's clearly gay too. We all knew it. If you didn't know it, you were in denial. Uh, never seen. The only thing I know about overwatch is Bastion on his pan. Uh, that's very rude, but... Whatever, each to their own. Is that a robot? Is that a robot? Bastion is a robot. He's a robot with feelings.

Yeah, it's a pretty gay looking soldier. You're just looking at pictures of how gay he looks? Yeah. He looks gay, right? Well, in the... There's all video game characters look gay. I feel like Soldier 76 looks particularly gay. It's extra gay. He's a real like closeted gay type because he's a soldier and really has no feelings and whatever,

but that's just hiding a well of emotion. Yeah, I don't play overwatch and I don't, I don't understand why everybody wants to fuck the characters so much, but I think that extends to a lot of things beyond just Overwatch really. Yeah, a lot of them are drawn very horny I think is the main issue. Yeah, I feel like it's- They're pretty attractive. It's like it's its own whole porn hub category. It's out of control. It sure is. There's a lot of it on Porn hub. Don't recommend looking at it. It. It. It. It. It. 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 th. It's th. It's th. It's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi. It'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's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

Don't recommend looking at it. It's weird.

Yep. Uh, so this lady, um, break up with this guy and find one of the other, um, 65 million dudes on the planet who are happy to play video games and have sex with you. Yeah, it's a really, really specific category of boyfriend you got gone on there. How will you ever replace him? Imagine being that angry about it though. Oh, I know, I didn't think that that was a real thing. And then I saw tweets that were genuinely like, you know, overwatches pandering to the S.J.W.A. Very strange. the usual.

Oh, you only want to wake in the house. It's very strange. Oh, geez. That is pretty late. saw her a mongoose yesterday. Really? Yeah. Nature Corner. I'm sorry, I just thought of this. It freaked me out. I've not seen a mammal, like a wild mammal in Hawaii. It was very exciting.
