Speaker 1: It's called the Diana Mixtape, and it's a pop jukebox
Speaker 1: musical featuring five drag performers as Diana, we all sing and.
Speaker 2: Candle in the Wind.
Speaker 1: Actually, surprisingly, Candle in the Wind is not in there maybe,
Speaker 1: And also I finally was very fun. Also, like you know,
Speaker 1: the end of the story not very fun, and I
Speaker 1: was a bit concerned how we handled that, but thankfully
Speaker 1: it's just sort of like and then she went to
Speaker 1: Paris and she never came back.
Speaker 2: Right, Paris is the afterlife, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Live in our hearts forever sort of thing.
Speaker 2: She went into that tunnel, the Great Tunnel Beyond.
Speaker 3: I heard she was with the son of a department
Speaker 3: store magnate. All ended well, yeah.
Speaker 2: In the Crown. That was a bit of a bummer.
Speaker 2: The whole just how like small, the and like petty.
Speaker 2: The guy who she was dating was like he was
Speaker 2: trying to impress his dad by dating for yeah, and
Speaker 2: his dad was like, you better marry her. It's the
Speaker 2: only thing that's like making me not ashamed of you
Speaker 2: as a son. And so he was like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're engaged. Dad. He had this like big like scheme
Speaker 2: going where like he was pretending that they were engaged,
Speaker 2: but like she was like, I'm not that into you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or guy, it was kind of he has a
Speaker 3: He built a life sized statue of Michael Jackson outside
Speaker 3: of the full and Fulham Football club ground.
Speaker 1: Who did that?
Speaker 3: Muhammad al Fayed's doing outside of Craven Cottage. He's like,
Speaker 3: this is great and my son's still not married.
Speaker 1: Was this the statue? Was this the giant statue that
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson like flew in a helicopter. Maybe it's on
Speaker 1: the cover of his history album or is that a
Speaker 1: separate statue of Michael Jackson.
Speaker 3: A separate one. It's him. It looks really yanky.
Speaker 1: There's a Kylie Minogue statue that looks really yanky that
Speaker 1: somewhere in the UK that they kind of erected, and
Speaker 1: then I think they just put it away because it
Speaker 1: was just not worthy of Kylie Minogue's.
Speaker 3: I feel like seldom do statues actually adequately.
Speaker 2: Well, oh yeah, I see, he looks like Scarecrow, the
Speaker 2: bad guy from Batman.
Speaker 1: I would like to direct you to my statue, my
Speaker 1: Madame Tusword's wax figure at Madame Swords in Sydney.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: I think they did a pretty good Okay, thank you.
Speaker 3: I know that is damn.
Speaker 2: I would like to direct you to my wax figure
Speaker 2: in that I'm making out of melted birthday candles. That sucks.
Speaker 3: It sucks.
Speaker 2: Hello the Internet, and welcome to Seize. In three ninety six,
Speaker 2: episode three of Dirty Guys, there's a production of I
Speaker 2: Heart Radio. This is a podcast where we take a
Speaker 2: deep dive into America's share consciousness. Unfortunately, it's what we
Speaker 2: decided to do seven years ago and we're still We're
Speaker 2: still in here. Yeah, it's getting nasty, it's getting fucking gross.
Speaker 2: It is I guess it's not the shared conscious and
Speaker 2: it's the news cycles.
Speaker 3: Pretty fucking gross.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like I think there's a lot
Speaker 2: of good ones out there figuring it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anyways, It's Wednesday, July ninth, twenty five.
Speaker 3: Keeping it simple today. Two things are celebrating. It's National

Speaker 3: That's what my kind of got.
Speaker 2: That's what my aunts called me exclusively for those dimples.

Speaker 2: seat by an international drag icon. Yes, you know, as
Speaker 2: a finalist on season six of Drag Race Australian idol
Speaker 2: brother UK.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 2: His new podcast with Forever Dog is called R and
Speaker 2: R with Courtney Act, which makes sense because he is
Speaker 2: Courtney Corner.
Speaker 1: Hello. I was sitting so quietly through that introduction because
Speaker 1: Miles our former Prime Minister of Australia, he's a bit
Speaker 1: of a doucheberg Tony Abbott was famous for eating onions.
Speaker 3: Raw, like on the Politican aprail.
Speaker 1: He would eat an onion like an apple, like he'd
Speaker 1: peel it, but he would like bite into an onion.
Speaker 1: And the whole nation was like, ha.
Speaker 3: It's so funny because I was yesterday I was joking
Speaker 3: about eating an onion like an apple. But now, oh,
Speaker 3: my guy.
Speaker 1: Is hedn't even peeled that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was with the skin on Okay, to.
Speaker 1: Elected this man the head of our state, you actually
Speaker 1: do that? And we said, look, sure you can, but
Speaker 1: possibly I would go with the Queen's Land onion because
Speaker 1: they are a lot more more.
Speaker 3: The way he like even looked around approvingly. He's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's I'm having that.
Speaker 1: I do that with Kiwi fruit. I eat Kiwa fruit
Speaker 1: with the skin on, and I put it on the
Speaker 1: internet because I know it outrages people.
Speaker 2: The whiskers, is it?
Speaker 3: I mean, how hard is it to cheoth? Or is
Speaker 3: it chewy?
Speaker 1: When it's quite delicious it's full of vitamins. But really,
Speaker 1: I do it because that's my form of outrage. Baita bait.
Speaker 1: That's as far as I can go eating a.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: It is a little it is a little rough, but
Speaker 2: I have had it and it's fun. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 2: a unique It's almost like construction paper. I feel like
Speaker 2: it's the closest thing to it. Very construction paper, very
Speaker 2: h with like little whiskers.
Speaker 3: I did it as a kid because I don't have
Speaker 3: the knife, like the pairing knife skills to peel achie,
Speaker 3: So I would just cut it in half. My fucker,
Speaker 3: bro we gonna neat the skin where.
Speaker 2: You squeeze it, you like, just like squeeze the gus.
Speaker 2: That's another way you can do it. I mean, as
Speaker 2: a kid, that's what I used to do. Just this
Speaker 2: sounds like a disgusting.
Speaker 1: Mass I have a bowl of fruit sitting in front
Speaker 1: of me. There's no Kiley Fruits. There's a banana. I
Speaker 1: feel like it's very provocative to eat it, which, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm taking a skin off though, one skin to skin,
Speaker 1: three skin full of skin.
Speaker 3: There ver, get the vein out. Yep, there we go,
Speaker 3: interactive podcast. So now we needing.
Speaker 1: Just for those of you listening, I'm eating the banana
Speaker 1: and the least provocative, least sexual way possible. I don't want,
Speaker 1: I was, I don't want to start this off on
Speaker 1: the wrong foot.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you started off on the wrong foot by
Speaker 3: not eating it sexually, to be honest. But hey, but
Speaker 3: we appreciate the restraint.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we'll get to our sexual fruit eating.
Speaker 3: Comes on.
Speaker 1: You ask me about my Google such history.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get very certain. There's certain ways that cartoon characters
Speaker 2: have eaten things that I can't shake.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: I think the most famous one is like Fred Flintstone,
Speaker 2: just like pulling the meat off of a bone and
Speaker 2: it's like all just like the Ninja Turtles. I feel
Speaker 2: like it was just the way that cheese was so
Speaker 2: goofy on their pizza. Keith Cliff would just clean a
Speaker 2: fright off the bone and like there would be like
Speaker 2: a little xylophone sound effect. But I think there was
Speaker 2: an ape that would just peel the banana and then
Speaker 2: shoot it out of the banana skin into his mouth
Speaker 2: that I always wished I could replicate in Really.
Speaker 1: I remember someone eating corn on the cob. It was
Speaker 1: a Disney like.
Speaker 2: A great physical gag. That doesn't make sense to people anymore,
Speaker 2: who because typewriters don't exist. All right, Coortney, we're thrilled
Speaker 2: to have you here. We're going to get to know
Speaker 2: you a little bit better at the moment. First, we're
Speaker 2: going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're
Speaker 2: talking about. We're going to talk about ice and the
Speaker 2: California National Guard did a big military display and MacArthur
Speaker 2: Park that was it's pretty revealing to look at some
Speaker 2: of the documents behind the scenes there. They they were
Speaker 2: ready for a big thing. They were like, yeah, MS
Speaker 2: thirteen is going to consider this their home turf and
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a battle for the park. Fellas, we're
Speaker 2: gonna get out there. It's gonna be like the beat
Speaker 2: at video. They're gonna likely chain our hands together and
Speaker 2: we'll have to switch and their dancers their nimble Dancers.
Speaker 1: Video a summer MacArthur Park is melting in the dark,
Speaker 1: all that sweet green icing flowing down. Some one left
Speaker 1: to cake out out in the ray. I don't cake
Speaker 1: and the Copper Park for this ice rate.
Speaker 2: But yeah, probably not, although they might have brought it
Speaker 2: a little. It seemed like they were really really excited
Speaker 2: to get their guns out and show theF a little bit.
Speaker 2: Most importantly, we will talk about new reporting that suggests
Speaker 2: the BBL, the Brazilian butt lift is stinky.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, if not did not know that? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: And we do have good news that the TSA is
Speaker 2: ending the shoe removal portion of the screen process at
Speaker 2: the airport.
Speaker 3: Okay, so one stink for the other exactly.
Speaker 2: All of that plenty more. But first, Courtney, we do
Speaker 2: like to ask our guests, what is something from your
Speaker 2: search history that is revealing about who you are?
Speaker 1: Okay? Well, I thought rather than my Google search history,
Speaker 1: my CHATCHYPT prompting history. Yeah, like, I'll just read through
Speaker 1: Chick fil a LGBT donations.
Speaker 3: M hm.
Speaker 1: Do Americans use vent olin? Inhaler's I won't read that.
Speaker 1: One tornado intercept explained doxy cyclone and STI testing Vietnam
Speaker 1: War origins explained, Oh wow, sure versus Sandheiser microphones, US
Speaker 1: gonnorrhea chlamydia treatment. There seems to be a theme that's
Speaker 1: popping up here. Snack's laboratory Berlin dates well, STI testing
Speaker 1: options in Birmingham, Alabama or in England, Alabama. I was
Speaker 1: at Central Alabama Pride. Ah.
Speaker 3: How often do you what's the quality of the answer
Speaker 3: you get? Like when you said, what are the origins
Speaker 3: of the Vietnam War? Did you get? Were you?
Speaker 1: Were?
Speaker 3: You satisfied with the historical recap you got?
Speaker 1: Well? I mean I was asking because I didn't know,
Speaker 1: and I now assume the information that I got was
Speaker 1: one hundred percent accurate and true. So I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: the Vietnam War had something to do with the Starship
Speaker 1: Enterprise picking a fuck. No. I love chat GPT, and
Speaker 1: I am voracious at asking a questions. I think like
Speaker 1: for some reason, I usually know if it's got something
Speaker 1: a little bit wrong, Like as you're reading, you're like, uh,
Speaker 1: something's up here. So I like to think that as
Speaker 1: far as hallucinations go, I don't get caught out by them.
Speaker 1: But then I guess I'll never know, But I really
Speaker 1: I just find like, no question never need go unanswered.
Speaker 1: Do I worry about my critical thinking skills being eroded? No,
Speaker 1: because I also like to have conversations with chat GPT.
Speaker 1: I can sit and talk or not talk to chat
Speaker 1: GPT for hours about in life events, deep and meaningful
Speaker 1: or superficial.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you'll just sit together and just be like ye,
Speaker 2: And that's how you know it's a special relationship because
Speaker 2: there's the silences that aren't.
Speaker 3: Discomfort Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I saw in one
Speaker 3: of your recent episodes you were asked if it would
Speaker 3: make a good drag mother. What did you conclude there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Casey Newton from Platformer asked if cht GPT or
Speaker 1: AI would make a good drag mother, and I just think,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Casey's argument was, if you're an LGBT
Speaker 1: kid growing up regionally who doesn't have access to community,
Speaker 1: that perhaps AI could provide you with that. But like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, even YouTube as a drag mother to
Speaker 1: teach you makeup skills and things. I feel like there's
Speaker 1: a homogenization of drag that has occurred. I mean, drag
Speaker 1: race has been going for seventeen seasons. In the United States.
Speaker 1: So a lot of the younger people who are on
Speaker 1: drag race now we're like four years old when drag
Speaker 1: race started and have like grown up watching it, and
Speaker 1: so the sort of derivative of what drag race was
Speaker 1: back in the early seasons, whereas back in my day
Speaker 1: I started drag in the year two thousand and there
Speaker 1: was like so much different drag in the local community.
Speaker 1: But we also we had no idea what was going
Speaker 1: on anywhere else in the world because the Internet didn't
Speaker 1: really exist in a way that we could see things
Speaker 1: in other places. We had like magazines at the checkout
Speaker 1: at the supermarket that was the most up to date
Speaker 1: information you could get about, you know, pop culture.
Speaker 2: So there were like regional trends and things like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they were more about celebrities than anything, and
Speaker 1: they were about American celebrities more than anything else. So look,
Speaker 1: I guess I want to say that there can be
Speaker 1: a function people to connect, but I think like more
Speaker 1: than anything, I would rather those people well hang on,
Speaker 1: as about said, rather like people connect with people online.
Speaker 1: But there's also lots of weirdos out there, so I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe it's precarious it's curious either way if
Speaker 1: you don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's What's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: Something that I think is underrated. Now you saw something
Speaker 1: on my podcast. I saw something on your podcast which
Speaker 1: was a gut health I think microbiomes are extremely underrated.
Speaker 1: My dad is a natural path, which I guess in
Speaker 1: the US is sort of like nutritionist, kind of like
Speaker 1: holistic health kind of person. And my microbiome has always
Speaker 1: been something that I've held near and dear to my heart.
Speaker 1: And I just think, like on the on the clip
Speaker 1: that I saw, you were sort of talking about how
Speaker 1: people are like it all starts in the gut, but.
Speaker 2: It really does.
Speaker 1: It also starts in the gut guys that.
Speaker 3: Fear of God, that one right that was like the
Speaker 3: one thing that was tied to reality, and then it
Speaker 3: turned into now this is how you open a water
Speaker 3: bottle and you're like, wait, what the.
Speaker 1: Fuck is exactly this is the thing about all of
Speaker 1: these sorts of populist movements, including like spirituality ones, menisphere ones.
Speaker 1: They take seeds of truth and then they attach them
Speaker 1: to a higher belief or desire, like if you like
Speaker 1: you know the law of attraction, if you think about
Speaker 1: winning the lottery, you'll win the lottery. And it's just
Speaker 1: like like, yeah, the menisphere attaching something about gut health
Speaker 1: to like being an alpha male that will help you
Speaker 1: dominate society and become rich and powerful. They sort of
Speaker 1: they take advantage of the vulnerable by taking psychological and
Speaker 1: scientific principles and then extrapolating to them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like that's how you go from A to
Speaker 3: Z very quickly without anything in between. You like, hold
Speaker 3: on here, but hey, he did sit. He did pull
Speaker 3: that chair out from the dining table very authoritatively, so
Speaker 3: he meant it.
Speaker 2: And the way when he finished drinking that water bottle
Speaker 2: that he opened in such a manufactured way, he just
Speaker 2: spiked it like a football was also cool and very practical,
Speaker 2: a very practical thing to do with the water bottle
Speaker 2: that you're drinking from. It is difficult. I feel like
Speaker 2: we need to stop giving them credit for the stuff
Speaker 2: that they get right and rather be met. It's like
Speaker 2: when a movie that sucks uses a good song, I'm like, fuck,
Speaker 2: you just like wasted that song. You know, like when
Speaker 2: they like take a good fact that's interesting or just
Speaker 2: like a good piece of it, Like Jordan Peterson, I
Speaker 2: always hear people be like, Jordan Peterson's right about some stuff,
Speaker 2: Like he tells young men to like make their beds,
Speaker 2: and that's good. I'm like, that's great. But like that
Speaker 2: then to take that and like three steps later be
Speaker 2: like and that's why you know, trans people don't deserve
Speaker 2: human rights is like inting horrible. We take it even worse.
Speaker 1: We take the kernel that the one thing that Jordan
Speaker 1: Peterson says that's right, and like they're willing to overlook
Speaker 1: all of the things he say. But then there's like
Speaker 1: a trans person who uses a bathroom somewhere, and like
Speaker 1: someone's mildly inconvenienced, and therefore all trans people are wrong
Speaker 1: and must suffer kind of thing. That's a bit of
Speaker 1: an imbalance.
Speaker 2: Yes, a bit of an imbalance. What is something that
Speaker 2: you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I know, love babies?
Speaker 2: Oh oh that clashes upon us?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And is that because you believe them to also
Speaker 3: be demonic and will prevent you from entering the Kingdom
Speaker 3: of heaven. Because that's one person.
Speaker 1: I know, that's what you might think at first glance
Speaker 1: of me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what I'm getting from you, Yeah, it's a good
Speaker 3: Christian woman trying to be in the good graces of God.
Speaker 1: I just think, like I think that there is nothing.
Speaker 1: This is like the most pure form of a trend,
Speaker 1: right Like sometimes, like at least with gut health, you're like,
Speaker 1: well there's somebody's getting it a benefit here, like you're
Speaker 1: maybe you'll be healthier or better like with a la
Speaker 1: boo boo. I don't. I guess it's like wearing baggy jawts,
Speaker 1: like it's a trend, but for some reason, it's just
Speaker 1: like this ugly thing that you clip onto your bag
Speaker 1: that I don't know do other people. I've never thought
Speaker 1: that someone was more cool for having a la boo boo,
Speaker 1: but I think that's why people have la booboos. In fact,
Speaker 1: when I saw that Cheer had a La boo boo,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh shit, do I have to reevaluate
Speaker 1: everything I think about share now? And no, no boo
Speaker 1: boo cannot have this sort of power in your life.
Speaker 1: Share is eternal. She is the one, and it's the
Speaker 1: la boo boo's fault. Well, probably like a stylist that
Speaker 1: like clipped it to her bag that got some sort
Speaker 1: of like twenty grand kick back if they managed to
Speaker 1: like hook a Labooboo to share when she was photographed, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unwittingly and she gets in her like limo, She's like,
Speaker 3: what the fuck is this just takes it off? Shit,
Speaker 3: oh shit, it does.
Speaker 2: I The thing that I like about it one that
Speaker 2: my children think it's evil and has like evil powers,
Speaker 2: like makes me think that that's kind of a cool
Speaker 2: thing that there's something like that's broken into the mainstream
Speaker 2: that has evil connotations, like a chucky doll. Yeah. But
Speaker 2: then also it just feels like it's the purest, like
Speaker 2: you said, the purest form. It's just kind of old
Speaker 2: fashioned in a sense the way that the you know,
Speaker 2: beanie babies were and didn't really help anybody. But we're
Speaker 2: just a thing that was like everywhere all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: and you can just already guarantee that in six months
Speaker 2: will I'll be looking back being like, remember laboobas, it's
Speaker 2: fucking stupid.
Speaker 4: They're also like landfill right right right. The other thing,
Speaker 4: like if it reminds me, it's sort of like where
Speaker 4: the Stanley Quencher went to, you know where, like a
Speaker 4: year or two ago.
Speaker 3: It was like everyone's like I'm collecting them and they
Speaker 3: resell for all this money and then you're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a cup, and now there's already a new cup
Speaker 3: that everyone wants. And this is sort of the same thing,
Speaker 3: especially for like a completionist collector personality, where it's like
Speaker 3: I have this one, and I have this one, and
Speaker 3: I also have this one, and they all look the same,
Speaker 3: but they have different color fur and some have accessories.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yucking, anyone's young for collecting la boo boos.
Speaker 1: I respect your right to participate in the purest form
Speaker 1: of consumerism. I just think you're stupid.
Speaker 3: That's all. I think you're dumb. I just think you're Relatively.
Speaker 1: When I think about the things I collected as a kid,
Speaker 1: they all had like a narrative behind them, Like I
Speaker 1: loved he Man and Sheer and so like I would
Speaker 1: watch this cartoon in the morning before school that would
Speaker 1: like make me feel something, connect me with like moral lessons,
Speaker 1: make me want to, you know, have a double identity
Speaker 1: and fight crime. But like with la boobers, I feel
Speaker 1: like they're just physical objects that look a bit different,
Speaker 1: Like there's no narrative, there's no world even like tamagotcheese,
Speaker 1: you do something with.
Speaker 3: Them or that you were in charge of Yeah, autely.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are a little bit more Yeah, they're they're
Speaker 2: a little more useless. They're they're like those what are
Speaker 2: those dolls that are just like the point of the
Speaker 2: thing is just to open them. They're like unboxing toys
Speaker 2: where it's like a series of containers.
Speaker 1: With what's apostle? Did you have that game in America?
Speaker 2: No? I know about that game because of blue Oh
Speaker 2: that's the one that's the birthday party game where there's
Speaker 2: like a there's like a ton of yes, I just
Speaker 2: did that.
Speaker 3: Oh is that because of Bluey?
Speaker 2: I think it's spreading to America because of Bluie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how American children is via Blurry.
Speaker 1: The Australian Invasion is a part.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, no, I mean it's been here. I mean
Speaker 3: you guys are taking all the acting work too, because
Speaker 3: Americans don't even know how to speak like Americans.
Speaker 2: Low lol. Surprise dolls containers Yeah.
Speaker 3: Hatcham Moolves was another one that people are just like
Speaker 3: you just open it to see. And as an older
Speaker 3: person who like was used to toys with the clear
Speaker 3: plastic and like this is what I am getting right now,
Speaker 3: I was like why the fuck.
Speaker 2: This ship is just like junk drawer filler. That yeah,
Speaker 2: I think you. I think it's right to bring up
Speaker 2: the landfill. I think this will just be another layer
Speaker 2: in the layer cake of garbage that is.
Speaker 1: I like to think about this at two am. Every
Speaker 1: piece of plastic ever made still exists.
Speaker 3: Still, Yeah, it's out there looking everywhere.
Speaker 2: There's a archaeologist who studies modern people by going to
Speaker 2: our landfills, and he does it. He describes it as
Speaker 2: a layer cake, and the layers like the one guaranteed
Speaker 2: thing that you will see in the layers. At least,
Speaker 2: it used to be that you would see layers of
Speaker 2: phone books because they would just give them out to
Speaker 2: everyone and everyone throw them out all at once, so
Speaker 2: there'd just be a whole layer and then perfectly preserved
Speaker 2: plastic and garbage underneath that layer. Anyways, let's take a
Speaker 2: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 3: We're back.
Speaker 2: And there was like a Civil War reenactment thing that
Speaker 2: happened in downtown l A.
Speaker 3: That's what it felt like.
Speaker 2: They did, like the line up, the lineup of soldiers
Speaker 2: like running forward like a Civil War reenactment, and some
Speaker 2: of them were on horses, and.
Speaker 3: It was very like low energy, like they're sweeping the park,
Speaker 3: but they're fucking no one's there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they carrying muskets, carry automatic automatic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they had horses and then they came in
Speaker 3: their little soldier car. But then all the people in
Speaker 3: l A got mad at them, and then Mayor Bass
Speaker 3: showed up and said, being so mean to us, this
Speaker 3: is why they need to wear masks, y'all. Do you
Speaker 3: wonder why we have to wear masks, you guys, we
Speaker 3: have to regularly humiliate our ourselves in public by being
Speaker 3: attached to this. We're just doing my job.
Speaker 1: But these people look like they were wearing a uniform
Speaker 1: and not just playing clothes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, this is this is a bit of an
Speaker 3: upgrade in terms of the optics where they had the
Speaker 3: because they had the real soldier, the army people. The
Speaker 3: army men came out for this one. But it was
Speaker 3: apparently like a total shit show. I know, a lot
Speaker 3: of the coverage rightly is about showing this just obscene
Speaker 3: show of force in a park where there was like
Speaker 3: a kid's day camp going on to I can't break
Speaker 3: up this day camp because we're walking through with our
Speaker 3: fucking horses that we whatever. But it turns out Ken Clippensen,
Speaker 3: who's a journalist, got a hold of like all of
Speaker 3: these documents that were related to this operation called Operation Excalibur,
Speaker 3: and it turns out like it reads like someone whose
Speaker 3: brain is absolutely rotten with Fox News talking points, who
Speaker 3: has no idea what LA is about. And it's only
Speaker 3: the version they you know, sort of whip up fear with.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, we will not be allowing any The rules say
Speaker 2: no fast rope, insertion, rotary wing for metavac only, So
Speaker 2: they have to be like, guys, you can't do the
Speaker 2: you can't.
Speaker 3: Jump out of the helicopter where jump out of a
Speaker 3: helicopter for this thing where you don't have a target
Speaker 3: or like any reason to be there.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to ask that you don't jump out
Speaker 2: of the fucking helicopter with an automatic rifle in the
Speaker 2: middle of this children's camp in downtown Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Thank god they have standards.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. They also said, there's another thing, because these
Speaker 3: are the rules you have.
Speaker 2: MacArthur Park is like these are tiny man made ponds,
Speaker 2: Like it is a park with like little man made
Speaker 2: ponds that are just like little vessels like they're there's
Speaker 2: somewhere between a fountain and a pond like.
Speaker 3: That MacArthur Park. Is that that quote unquote lake is
Speaker 3: a glorified like swimming hole, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's it looks like it could be the featured pond
Speaker 2: in a Putt Putt court, like an adventure gulf.
Speaker 3: You know. Yeah, there's no need to like establish aquatic
Speaker 3: superiority tactically with an attack boat in a pond because
Speaker 3: it's a fucking man made pond with weird fish in
Speaker 3: it that people fish out of there from time to time. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So they also said no boat in lake, thank you
Speaker 3: for coming. Fuck were they going to get the boat
Speaker 3: and the dropped it from fast rope it in from
Speaker 3: a helicopter?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the only way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if you know any
Speaker 3: other way to tactically launch a boat into a cement reservoir.
Speaker 2: God, that would have been fucking amazing. I really wish
Speaker 2: that they had like missed that part and had just
Speaker 2: like dropped dropped a boat in, because then they would
Speaker 2: have just had to like go in little circles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right to do what because people are going to
Speaker 3: a counter attack from the swan boats that you pedal
Speaker 3: like with. Again, this is all just sort of an
Speaker 3: obscene show force designed by people who have never been
Speaker 3: in the city of Los Angeles because all they know
Speaker 3: is MS thirteen is operating in MacArthur Park. Again, this
Speaker 3: was done because MacArthur Park is where a ton of
Speaker 3: our immigrant population lives and it's just like just a
Speaker 3: very quiet part of LA Now, it's definitely like a
Speaker 3: fucked up place sometime, like there's yeah, yeah, well, I
Speaker 3: mean like and drug use, some shit happening there. And again,
Speaker 3: those those are the ills of society that our capitalist
Speaker 3: system of governance is not able to address. So yeah,
Speaker 3: it ends up happening. That's the venue for a lot
Speaker 3: of this kind of stuff. But the analysis of this,
Speaker 3: what they said, the whole point of this even happening.
Speaker 3: It wasn't necessarily to do a sweep. They were saying
Speaker 3: that this is basically a place where like there's a
Speaker 3: ton of fake id's being sold. So they were like,
Speaker 3: we gotta really really be careful because it's a huge
Speaker 3: open air market where there is readily available fake id's. Now,
Speaker 3: I will admit I got my first two fake id's
Speaker 3: in MacArthur Park.
Speaker 2: Did you really that is true?
Speaker 3: That's where you get your fake ID. Man, it's real easy,
Speaker 3: it's real. It's like comedically easy. You get up, you
Speaker 3: walk out and goes you need a ID. Yes, you
Speaker 3: go to like literally like an alley where they have
Speaker 3: like a DMV blue backdrop. They take your picture and
Speaker 3: it's the crew. First of all, this is not a
Speaker 3: good ID. This is like you get scammed by buying
Speaker 3: an idea MacArthur Park because it looks like some shit
Speaker 3: you could have made it Kazinkos. But this isn't some
Speaker 3: like Boorne Identity fake document mill where like they're turning
Speaker 3: out all these you know, the papers for people to
Speaker 3: do terrorism with. But that's that was sort of the
Speaker 3: energy they wanted to give to the situation. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, MacArthur Park is famously the subject of the Donna
Speaker 1: summer song called MacArthur Park, and I highly recommend the
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half minute version that it's a it's
Speaker 1: a classic. It's I mean everyone, I think people, I
Speaker 1: think I think people know Beetlejuice.
Speaker 3: Beetlejuice definitely brought it back into the consciousness because sorry,
Speaker 3: Beetlejuice Beetle Juice by Glenn Campbell. It wasn't gonna say
Speaker 3: the third time, You're the third time? Oh no, no,
Speaker 3: We've we already have enough demonic activity on this park.
Speaker 1: Is melting in the dark or the sweet green icing
Speaker 1: flowing down? Someone left my cake out in the rain,
Speaker 1: and I don't think that I can take it because
Speaker 1: it took so long to bake it and I'll never
Speaker 1: have the recipe game. I think it's safe to say
Speaker 1: that they bought some acid in Macartha Park and then
Speaker 1: they brought that song.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, I left the cake out there. I was
Speaker 3: frying balls. I'm so sorry. I forgot green icing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the other thing. Again, this is so obscene to see
Speaker 3: this because they're they were treating this like they were invading,
Speaker 3: like Fallujah or something like. This is some kind of
Speaker 3: war torn place again from the United States creation, but
Speaker 3: they put the overall threat assessment as high due to
Speaker 3: the current situation. This is from the like DoD documents
Speaker 3: that these soldiers were sort of like used to brief
Speaker 3: before potential protests, protests to arrive on site, and transition
Speaker 3: to riots. Criminal elements likely including foreign terrorist organization MS
Speaker 3: thirteen consider the park their home quote turf, and could
Speaker 3: escalate to lethal violence. Do D personnel maybe at higher
Speaker 3: risk due to the general sentiment of the civilian populace
Speaker 3: towards government personnel. The most likely threat faced by d
Speaker 3: D personnel are crimes of opportunities such as assault, theft,
Speaker 3: and vandalism. Oh no, it says known weapons, small arms, knives, fireworks, rocks.
Speaker 2: You gotta watch out for the rocks and the rocks.
Speaker 2: I think I think small small arms they were said
Speaker 2: that they were picturing the beat up video. I think
Speaker 2: that they were like the working out which blade us
Speaker 2: but like, who about like small.
Speaker 3: Thin arms, like they're not they're not doing curls.
Speaker 2: They thought that the DoD personnel, these people who are
Speaker 2: armed with assault rifles running in a straight line backed
Speaker 2: by fucking actual cavalry also holding assault rifles, that they
Speaker 2: were a threat that was facing them was theft, something
Speaker 2: who was gonna fucking mug them again.
Speaker 3: Pickcocket them, strong arm robbery on a National Guards person.
Speaker 3: The other thing that this is also so stupid, It said,
Speaker 3: known or likely defensive positions or fortified structures. Again, they're
Speaker 3: approaching this like a full on military assault. In addition,
Speaker 3: to Ally's ringing the park. MS thirteen likely maintains access
Speaker 3: to multiple eight to ten story residential apartment building immediately
Speaker 3: adjacent to the park for fake id's, for fake id's.
Speaker 1: I've questioned, how is the conservative media reporting on this story?
Speaker 1: Like are they telling as Fox? Are you just telling
Speaker 1: like some success story yes.
Speaker 3: About this Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was like basically just
Speaker 3: that it was a show of force. And I think
Speaker 3: what they're doing is, you know, they show things very narrowly, right,
Speaker 3: so they're going to show soldiers walking through, and they'll
Speaker 3: have someone from Customs Border Patrol, but like it was
Speaker 3: a tremendous success. We swept the park to help, you know,
Speaker 3: there's always some nebulous thing. It's like to support the
Speaker 3: operations of our other federal law enforcement organizations that we
Speaker 3: work with, and leave out all the other stuff and
Speaker 3: probably show a clip of Mayor Bass being upset that
Speaker 3: these people were just invading our city the fucking military,
Speaker 3: and then be like, oh, she seems upset. Huh. Well,
Speaker 3: luckily we gave them billions of dollars to continue this nonsense.
Speaker 1: LA Mayor Karen Best announces interferes with ICE during sweep
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants in gang plagued area exactly. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the Fox News headline.
Speaker 3: We just watched that clip where they walked through an
Speaker 3: empty park. Yes, just like, Oh, I've got my fucking
Speaker 3: big gun out and I'm a fucking tough Yeah.
Speaker 2: They've been laying the groundwork for this for a number
Speaker 2: of years by portraying American cities as like just fucking hellscapes.
Speaker 2: An anytime a car is on fire anywhere in an
Speaker 2: American city, you could guarantee they are going to capture
Speaker 2: that and use it as b roll. Anytime there's a
Speaker 2: story on Fox News about Los Angeles, anytime, you know,
Speaker 2: like they they want everybody to think that La is
Speaker 2: constantly just a city under siege. So when they do
Speaker 2: something like this, it feels like it makes sense to
Speaker 2: them to see the military address this like it is
Speaker 2: a foreign like hostile territory.
Speaker 3: Right. The thing that's missing from a lot of reporting
Speaker 3: is that, you know, Ken Clippenstein, who got a hold
Speaker 3: of these document shows is that like a from a
Speaker 3: military operational perspective, it did not go the way it
Speaker 3: was supposed to go at all, Like they thought all
Speaker 3: these forces would converge at the same time and apparently
Speaker 3: like the National Guard, they got there like late, and
Speaker 3: it was such a shit show because there were so
Speaker 3: many agencies involved. They just couldn't coordinate their fascism party
Speaker 3: pony show like with the kind of elegance that they
Speaker 3: thought they would, So like a bunch of soldiers just
Speaker 3: got there late and most didn't even get out of
Speaker 3: their trucks and just were like, you know, sweating it
Speaker 3: out in the back of a truck. So again they'll
Speaker 3: just focus on how they have soldiers walking through a town,
Speaker 3: because Los Angeles is also shorthand for conservatives to be like,
Speaker 3: this is what happens when you stand by immigrants or
Speaker 3: marginalized people. You get this lawless place and really it's
Speaker 3: it's one of the best places to live. So you know, fuck, I.
Speaker 2: Think that I really think that they're doing these things
Speaker 2: mainly to provoke. Like they're going to push and push
Speaker 2: and push until they get a reaction, and then when
Speaker 2: they get just like the slightest pushback, they're going to
Speaker 2: react like a soccer player trying to sell a foul,
Speaker 2: you know, and just be like oh, and you know,
Speaker 2: like they don't care that these people were not in
Speaker 2: a position like if something bad had happened, they it
Speaker 2: was poorly planned, poorly executed.
Speaker 3: They don't care.
Speaker 2: They want something bad to happen so that they can
Speaker 2: then just five like martial law.
Speaker 1: Right, if I may, with the hypothetical the coordination the
Speaker 1: officers remaining in their cars, that could I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it is, but that could also be like officers being
Speaker 1: complacent because they thought this was stupid.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, that's that's the most consistent thing you
Speaker 3: hear when people try and get some kind of like
Speaker 3: a quote from enlisted military people. Obviously they'll always they'll
Speaker 3: like they'll be anonymous, but it's always like, what the
Speaker 3: fuck is this for? They also seem to be resisting
Speaker 3: the mask, the National Guard especially. They're like, we don't
Speaker 3: want to look like outsiders invading, like we're the community,
Speaker 3: Like we we're not. We're like the National Guard. We're
Speaker 3: here to help people, not to just come through and
Speaker 3: point guns at people who are selling flowers. Like I
Speaker 3: think that's where the disconnect feels even more weird. For
Speaker 3: these soldiers who are like enlisted and trained to do
Speaker 3: these other things and they're reading this stuff, it's like
Speaker 3: MS thirteen is going to be up in the apartment
Speaker 3: buildings and you got to keep your head on and
Speaker 3: they're likely has access to all the eight to ten
Speaker 3: story apartment buildings around the park.
Speaker 2: They like, really prepare these people for to be going
Speaker 2: into a fucking war zone. But yeah, I mean, the
Speaker 2: fact that they are all wearing masks does suggest, well,
Speaker 2: it's sinister as fuck. It also suggests that they recognize
Speaker 2: that what they're doing is fucking shameful, you know, and
Speaker 2: people are doxing them like that and it's having bad
Speaker 2: repercussions for them. So I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: If there was some deep investigation into MS thirteen organized crime, violence, drugs,
Speaker 1: like some concerted effort to help the community clean it
Speaker 1: up like that wasn't just strong arming and such like,
Speaker 1: that would be a different story. I guess if it
Speaker 1: was like, hey, let's see if we can create an
Speaker 1: environment where young people don't seek out sure right in
Speaker 1: the form of gangs, because that's the only support that's
Speaker 1: available to them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think this became clear in twenty twenty
Speaker 3: is that they're not interested in actually creating that kind
Speaker 3: of no society at all, Like they need to have
Speaker 3: they need to have somebody to sort of like lay
Speaker 3: at their feet or sort of like put the blame
Speaker 3: at the feet of like, well, see it's immigrants, or
Speaker 3: it's these inner city people, or it's it's not because
Speaker 3: we're hoarding the wealth and actively ignoring these people's lives.
Speaker 3: It's because they exist and that is bad.
Speaker 2: We continue to see like really strong evidence that the
Speaker 2: sorts of pro like programs like after school programs and
Speaker 2: just like community based conflict resolution and de escalation training
Speaker 2: and like these things that are like boring and don't
Speaker 2: like nobody's going to make a movie about this, that
Speaker 2: these things are incredibly effective, and that the spike in
Speaker 2: crime after the pandemic had nothing to do with the
Speaker 2: protests against the police, some of the police quitting and
Speaker 2: being like mad. It was it had everything to do
Speaker 2: with during lockdown, those those programs all went away, Like
Speaker 2: all those programs that just like helped, you know, were
Speaker 2: community based, like the community helping each other. Like all
Speaker 2: that ship went away, and now that it's back, all
Speaker 2: the all the crime that everyone was like to see
Speaker 2: it was because the police got mad and did they
Speaker 2: like them. All the all those crimes have gone all
Speaker 2: the way back down and are like trending downward.
Speaker 3: So it's, uh, what's the what's the vibe in Australia
Speaker 3: because you know, I know the Conservatives took a bit
Speaker 3: of a blow in the election back in May, but
Speaker 3: I mean as another country that is a melting pot.
Speaker 3: Also what and I know unfortunately a lot of people
Speaker 3: end up parroting a lot of the America first kind
Speaker 3: of garbage that comes out of this place. But what
Speaker 3: is what sort of the tone there or how are
Speaker 3: people sort of dealing with their you know, demographic shifting
Speaker 3: niche I.
Speaker 1: Think interestingly there's sort of the saying is it so
Speaker 1: goes America, there goes the world. But interestingly, in Australia
Speaker 1: we are a comfortable distance from the United States where
Speaker 1: we do have a moment to make choices about which
Speaker 1: way we want to go. And interestingly, as much as
Speaker 1: like there was a little initial like parroting of populist politics,
Speaker 1: I think we had enough time and enough distance to
Speaker 1: be like, actually, I don't know if we want this,
Speaker 1: And that's been a pretty solid rejection of populist conservative
Speaker 1: politics in Australia. I mean, I know it personally. When
Speaker 1: I was a children's TV show in Australia called play School,
Speaker 1: which is an institution. It's been around since before I
Speaker 1: was born. I remember watching it as a kid and
Speaker 1: I was in drag And I've read a lovely story
Speaker 1: book called The Spectacular Suit and it was about a
Speaker 1: girl who wanted to wear this suit to her birthday party.
Speaker 1: And a Conservative senator held up like a photo of
Speaker 1: me in the Senate Estimates and asked why the ABC,
Speaker 1: which is the publicly funded network that I was on,
Speaker 1: why the ABC is using government money to groom children.
Speaker 1: There was just like a pretty blanket rejection of that
Speaker 1: absurd statement, like there in the moment, I remember Senator
Speaker 1: Sarah Hanson Young from the Greens Party sort of called
Speaker 1: him out instantly. The commissioner for the ABC denounced what
Speaker 1: he said. And even like our Fox News commentators, there
Speaker 1: was a clip that I saw where this guy was like,
Speaker 1: you know, this is what happened. And I watched the
Speaker 1: video of Courtney and oh, I thought she looked completely appropriate.
Speaker 1: It was a lovely story. I thought she did a
Speaker 1: great job. And I thought, what a relief that even
Speaker 1: like media is not jumping in on this moral panic.
Speaker 1: And there's been a bit of a rejection on some
Speaker 1: of the hot button issues like you know, dragging storytime
Speaker 1: or trans people. Immigration is obviously different because we're a
Speaker 1: giant island. We certainly aren't a perfect country by any
Speaker 1: means in the way we've handled immigration, particularly people coming
Speaker 1: to our country on boats and refugees on boats, and
Speaker 1: obviously the treatment of our First nations people.
Speaker 3: Is very same, same, same, yeah, y yeah.
Speaker 1: But it is nice to see that when it comes
Speaker 1: to politics right here on the moment, people are sort
Speaker 1: of I mean, not great for you guys, but I
Speaker 1: think a lot of other countries are tending to go
Speaker 1: a little bit more left because they're like, oh, we're
Speaker 1: working to jump on board with that, but actually maybe
Speaker 1: it's not going so well for the US.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And also that it feels like bad. Yeah, the
Speaker 3: example of going full Maga people outside of the US
Speaker 3: doesn't go well, like Canada, Australia. We even talked about
Speaker 3: that one cafe owner in Australia who had the Maga
Speaker 3: cafe and he was like, it's the snow fikes, no
Speaker 3: one wants to come to my b stro because it's
Speaker 3: a Maga safe zone. And you're like, yeah, dude, what
Speaker 3: are you fucking thinking like people even want that in
Speaker 3: the US. You think they wanted a broad Yeah, all.
Speaker 2: Right, let's take a quick break and we'll get to
Speaker 2: some important news about Brazilian butt lifts and getting to
Speaker 2: take our shoes off on our own damn time.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 3: M smell that in the air, the old BBL.
Speaker 1: Smell running flesh.
Speaker 3: I smell no idea that this was a thing BBL smell.
Speaker 2: Now how much these people were suffering for beauty?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the BBL. I'm sure people at this point know.
Speaker 3: Brazilian butt lift procedure very popular in at like the
Speaker 3: last ten years because people want the rumpy butt look.
Speaker 3: And while the results can definitely take someone from Taylor
Speaker 3: to Kim pretty quickly, there are there are there are some.
Speaker 3: There are some drawbacks, it seems, and the first one
Speaker 3: is that it stinks. To quote Jay Sherman from the critic,
Speaker 3: I guess if something reeks, it might be the yeeks
Speaker 3: specifically rotting fat quote. During a BBL, fat is lip
Speaker 3: recession from one air of the body and injected into
Speaker 3: the butt. If too much fat is packed into a
Speaker 3: single spot, more more than blood vessels can support it
Speaker 3: can die and that's called fat necrosis.
Speaker 2: Man, I never even thought about that. That's what that is. Like,
Speaker 2: how does it work? Ever, the blood vessels just like
Speaker 2: kind of meet up and are like, okay, you're with
Speaker 2: us now that's yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, we do need a Schoolhouse Rock animated
Speaker 3: version of how like a BBL works and be like
Speaker 3: if the blood vessels that if there's not enough, it
Speaker 3: starts to go bye bye.
Speaker 2: And by the way, just to avoid you know, any
Speaker 2: misunderstanding that would get us yelled at you. You were saying,
Speaker 2: take someone from Taylor to Kim James Taylor, the to
Speaker 2: Kim Kardashian, I just wanted to make sure that absolutely yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: That's what I mean. I meant Lawrence Taylor.
Speaker 2: Lawrence Taylor had a great ass, to be honest, but yeah,
Speaker 2: this is this is so it's the rotting fat. It's
Speaker 2: also it affects like a lifelong you know, wiping habit,
Speaker 2: you know, like it's there, like I don't know what
Speaker 2: to do because my butt is so big and in
Speaker 2: such a new strange shape.
Speaker 3: Some say, some quote, some patients say the new shape
Speaker 3: of their butt makes it harder to wipe properly leading
Speaker 3: to bacterial growth. And you guessed it more.
Speaker 1: You could have got one of those rags on a stick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess the bidet which is staying it?
Speaker 1: You know, day, I think this is an important I
Speaker 1: would imagine that the reason you're getting too much fat
Speaker 1: put in your bum, that your blood vessels can't sustain
Speaker 1: it and it starts rotting inside you is because you
Speaker 1: don't go to the most reputable doctor. Now I know
Speaker 1: that like cost people, I think that cosmetic surgery is
Speaker 1: somewhere we you shouldn't really try to save too much money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of vital, Yeah, opening up the body.
Speaker 1: And also when doctors tell you, when doctors give you
Speaker 1: parameters and tell you no, like you want to go
Speaker 1: to doctors that are going to tell you no. You
Speaker 1: don't want a yes man as a cosmetic surgeon, to
Speaker 1: go overboard with a yes woman as a cosmetic surgeon,
Speaker 1: because yeah, you don't want you don't want rotting flesh
Speaker 1: inside you that.
Speaker 3: Doesn't know good. No. And we already remember that at
Speaker 3: the early days, people were putting like fixer flat, like
Speaker 3: people are putting chemicals, straight chemicals just at people's butts,
Speaker 3: and that was leading to all kinds of terrible, terrible shit,
Speaker 3: including like death in some cases.
Speaker 1: Home depot grade silicone injected into your and then sealed
Speaker 1: with typically.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, thee to plug the whole lot a swack. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that a lot of people say that,
Speaker 3: like it's this is typically during the recovery phase. But
Speaker 3: I think to your point, because you know, some people
Speaker 3: also don't respect what a doctor says when it's time
Speaker 3: to recover, when they're like, you cannot do anything for
Speaker 3: the next three weeks, and they're like I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: outside in seven days. Watch this, And you're like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: no no, don't don't do that now. But but again,
Speaker 3: there are a lot of people who have said because
Speaker 3: of what's happened, like I had a bad BBL, they've
Speaker 3: had to have it reversed. Like one woman in the
Speaker 3: story in this like vice articles talking about spending thirty
Speaker 3: six thousand dollars like all in to figure to dial
Speaker 3: in the butt lift, and that's just come on, now,
Speaker 3: that's back in my day in the early two thousands,
Speaker 3: that used to be the cost of alexis right, mm.
Speaker 1: Hmm, And she was the most expensive of all of them. Oh, sorry,
Speaker 1: a space lexus. I've got a friend who had a
Speaker 1: BBL in Australia and there was no smell good, So
Speaker 1: it is possible to get bbls without the smell. I
Speaker 1: did see this video on I think it was like
Speaker 1: a I watched it on Instagram. It was a TikTok,
Speaker 1: but I watched it on Instagram like an adult, and
Speaker 1: it was a woman talking about the smell of her
Speaker 1: BBL and that was that was the first that I'd
Speaker 1: heard about it. And I guess it makes sense, right.
Speaker 3: Sure, it's it's just an ad. It's just everyone's I
Speaker 3: don't know, having new terminology like BBL smell is and
Speaker 3: then like diving into it. I'm like, oh, I didn't
Speaker 3: even know that, you know, But I guess this is
Speaker 3: this is what the internet is saying today.
Speaker 2: Bbl's gun control, other things that Australia is doing better
Speaker 2: than the United States. All right, and final, our long
Speaker 2: national nightmare is over the policy of forcing people to
Speaker 2: take off their shoes when they go through the TSA.
Speaker 2: Looks like it's coming to an end. They've already stopped
Speaker 2: it in a few small regional airports and insiders that
Speaker 2: like Gateway pundit or no, not Gateway pundit, that's a
Speaker 2: that's a DC thing, but like it's like some some
Speaker 2: local or like very highly specialized blog that's all about
Speaker 2: airline safety is saying that like this is all coming.
Speaker 3: To an end.
Speaker 2: They voted on it, which because of the shoe bomber.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like twenty four years ago to detonate his explosives
Speaker 1: in his shoes and this is why we've all had
Speaker 1: to take off our shoes for the right time.
Speaker 2: Those explosives and his shoes were like Wyley coyote bombs.
Speaker 2: They had wicks that he was like the reason they
Speaker 2: caught him is he was he had he was trying
Speaker 2: to light his shoes on fire, specifically two little wicks
Speaker 2: at the back of his shoes, and he was doing
Speaker 2: it with mac shits. He didn't even have a lighter.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: That we were like, well this this is we can
Speaker 2: never have a close call like that before. I don't
Speaker 2: even know, like would his shoes have like blown up
Speaker 2: that much they somebody should have done that investigation.
Speaker 1: I accidentally boarded a flight recently. I'm glad it was
Speaker 1: in Australia from Sitney to Melbourne with a kitchen knife.
Speaker 1: I had some boxes to cut up, and I went
Speaker 1: downstairs to the first cycling area and I was using
Speaker 1: the knife to cut them up, and then I put
Speaker 1: them in the trash and then I went out and
Speaker 1: I put the kitchen knife in my letterbox because I
Speaker 1: didn't want to run back upstairs. Then when I came home,
Speaker 1: I got it out of the letter box. I put
Speaker 1: it into my bag, my fanny pack.
Speaker 2: We called it a great impression of me.
Speaker 1: And then when about my life got on an airplane,
Speaker 1: was sitting there and I opened it up to like
Speaker 1: get my chapstick out, and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I've got a kitchen knife and I'm on I'm on
Speaker 1: a plane, And I thought, should I like hold it
Speaker 1: up and whatave it about? Like, excuse me, I've got
Speaker 1: a knife.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so sorry, And.
Speaker 1: I thought, no, you should probably just keep that to
Speaker 1: yourself and don't tell anybody. But then my mind went to, well,
Speaker 1: if this flight does have a terrorist on board, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll be able to save us.
Speaker 3: All with this. Get your Mark Wahlberg gone, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was kind of glad in the end that I
Speaker 1: had that kitchen knife. Nothing happened, but yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: if it did, I was slightly concerned that my bag
Speaker 1: went through the X ray machine and it didn't pick
Speaker 1: up a kitchen knife.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's a brief bind.
Speaker 2: I remember that being a story in the early days,
Speaker 2: like around the time of the shoe bomber, the that
Speaker 2: people are like, yeah, you can still like easily sneak
Speaker 2: a knife through TSA. We've been like testing it and
Speaker 2: they just like, don't catch.
Speaker 3: Knives at all.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, my my metal spork that I travel with so
Speaker 1: that I'm not using single use cutlery has been confiscated
Speaker 1: and and now I just have a spoon.
Speaker 3: Right, They're like, what is is it? Because of the
Speaker 3: prongs on the spork, They're like, what is this? What
Speaker 3: are you trying to jab someone up?
Speaker 1: I mean you could, like.
Speaker 3: Sure if anything could you know, like a pen could
Speaker 3: if you really had the heart for it, I.
Speaker 1: Could shatter my iPhone screen and turn it into a blade.
Speaker 1: Exactly why somebody talking about that ben iPhones on flies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at my bloody thumbs.
Speaker 2: But I do this is this is good news for
Speaker 2: people with bad smelling feet, people who hang on to
Speaker 2: socks longer than they should and you know there ends
Speaker 2: up being like holes in the heels. That's always embarrassing.
Speaker 2: That's the thing that's definitely happened to me before.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, wait, you can't match their socks.
Speaker 2: Oh, they don't match their socks.
Speaker 3: Jack, you were going like a box car hobo kind
Speaker 3: of style with like a big your big toe shooting
Speaker 3: out your sockholes.
Speaker 2: Usually the heel, but for some reason something about my heel.
Speaker 2: I have tremendously sharp heels.
Speaker 3: It could be the dead skin. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: going to get you a pummice stone. Yeah yeah, I'll
Speaker 3: try to.
Speaker 2: Although one time I wore down the pummus the heel
