Speaker 3: a different country from you guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know, and it's a it's a.
Speaker 1: Different side of the world, different hemisphere, different times, different times.

Speaker 1: from the outside, but it's it looks like the country
Speaker 1: is being run by Boeing.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you how good it's going. Guy, just merely
Speaker 2: talking to someone who is in New Zealand is giving
Speaker 2: me relief.
Speaker 1: It's like it's made me think the doctors should prescribe
Speaker 1: it exactly the tie of somebody who lives in New Zealand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for me, I don't the guys. We've we've got
Speaker 3: some guys in charge of the moment who I think
Speaker 3: they're doing the New Zealand the water down version of
Speaker 3: what the Republicans. Do you know you're doing it's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you gotta regime.
Speaker 3: We've got three guys, three guys they got together and
Speaker 3: these are not good guys, and they're like agreed, they're
Speaker 3: coming out and they're doing all this.
Speaker 2: You know that they're not even doing their own stuff.
Speaker 2: It feels so cynical.
Speaker 3: They're just repealing the stuff that it was in place
Speaker 3: previously like that.
Speaker 2: Or did they did they campaign on being like we're
Speaker 2: just rolling anything just cinda did? It's gone yeah kind
Speaker 2: of did. We're gonna rescinder with woods.
Speaker 3: But spiritually that's an accurate assessment. But you know, we
Speaker 3: don't need to get us too down.
Speaker 2: We try not to. Yeah, I mean, look, you guys
Speaker 2: are you guys are absolutely.
Speaker 3: The guy we don't Yeah, the guy we don't like
Speaker 3: is he's fifty five, so you know, he's still he's
Speaker 3: cognizant of what he's doing.
Speaker 2: He's a young man. He's a boy.
Speaker 1: Like you're being drunk driven into the apocalypse a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like, you know, I look at what
Speaker 3: and put it down to this time too old guys
Speaker 3: from like eight four years ago.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, okay, those guys are still hanging around.
Speaker 3: Oh man again, Okay, guys, that was a bad show
Speaker 3: last time.
Speaker 2: I'm back. It's like when you find out like they're
Speaker 2: like those teachers from your high school or something are
Speaker 2: still alive and working. They're like they're still fucking hell
Speaker 2: when they were teaching me. Yeah, exactly, Like just no,
Speaker 2: this has to be elder abuse.
Speaker 3: You do what you could do, whatever you wanted in
Speaker 3: the class because they're so old.
Speaker 2: Didn't know I had that too, Yeah, smoking weed, literally,
Speaker 2: just we did it all. Sorry, sorry, mister falls.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately we're actually not allowed to talk about how
Speaker 1: old they are because that's not nice.
Speaker 2: But yet that great party. So we're nice. We're nice.
Speaker 2: We're nice. We're nice. That's great.
Speaker 3: I mean even Obama's like sixty two. Now, I couldn't
Speaker 3: believe that. Yeah, that's wild. Yeah, he's it's like, you know,
Speaker 3: it's not yeah, it's not. It's not nice to talk
Speaker 3: about age because time will come for us all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: You are a whistleblower at Boeing. Yeah, but otherwise then
Speaker 3: Boweing will come for you. Yeah, I will come for us.
Speaker 2: All. That's one of times big things.
Speaker 1: When I'm in my early nineties and running for president.
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody talking shit about me, you know,
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't.
Speaker 3: Don't you want to sit down one after you've had
Speaker 3: so much money? It's like, ah, more yeah, sit down.
Speaker 3: How many shows they've made? Well, you've been working. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that just shows you what powers them.
Speaker 2: Right, It's not even the idea of like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: now I get to take a break, tore like I
Speaker 2: only run off of absolute power. Yeah, Like Jesus, what
Speaker 2: a fucking dark reality. God willing. I want to be
Speaker 2: working at that age.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to be working. I don't want to
Speaker 1: be in charge of the whole country.
Speaker 2: I don't. I want to be working like Rita Rita
Speaker 2: Moreno was working. You know what I'm saying. She like
Speaker 2: just shows up, do a couple of parts, do her thing.
Speaker 2: And I was like, god, damn, you're so good for you.
Speaker 2: She's like, I know, baby, Now let me go home.
Speaker 2: I need to sit on this money.
Speaker 3: How old is Jared Little? Because that guy he's older
Speaker 3: than you think he looks. He's older than Obama's because
Speaker 3: he's sleeping.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what these guys should do. If that is
Speaker 2: fifty two fifty put.
Speaker 3: Mister Biden in one of his and like a comma,
Speaker 3: a restorative coma. Give him a couple of months off,
Speaker 3: I he'll be juiced up, he'll be fresh.
Speaker 2: If they could.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of like talk about body doubles right
Speaker 1: now now because of the Kve Middleton thing, and I
Speaker 1: just nobody would know the difference if you rolled out
Speaker 1: a different nine year old white guy, Like they all
Speaker 1: look about the same, right, and like you talk the same.
Speaker 2: But it's a specific combo of Biden's sort of like
Speaker 2: necrotizing flesh with his bad hair plugs and his like
Speaker 2: veneers that like I could find you one of those
Speaker 2: guys in Florida, Like yeah, yeah, a victory of them
Speaker 2: from pom Springs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so much of it iss. You just throw Veneers
Speaker 1: on one of those motherfuckers, Like, nobody's gonna know the difference.
Speaker 1: Hey man, Jack a bunch of times like yeah, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be like there there he goes the President of
Speaker 1: the United States.
Speaker 3: Come on, partner, Yeah, the news is crazy. News out
Speaker 3: of your guys country is just getting crazy. It's it's
Speaker 3: if it were for the fact I know people live there.
Speaker 3: It is funny. Yeah, right, I told you. Guys, I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh no, we got boots on the ground in this country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's right. We're undercover in this country, people
Speaker 1: of conscious conscience undercover. All right, guy, we're gonna get
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things. We'll
Speaker 1: be talking about. We got new car pollution legislation in
Speaker 1: the US. It's not terrible, it's not great, which is
Speaker 1: about the best you can hope for.
Speaker 2: But we'll talk about that. New happiness numbers.
Speaker 1: Just dropped global World Happiness Report, which comes out every year,
Speaker 1: and the US is continuing to plumb plummet. Wait what
Speaker 1: because Americans under thirty are and this doesn't seem right,
Speaker 1: but incredibly unhappy. So I wanted to talk about this
Speaker 1: with somebody who has lived both places, both in the
Speaker 1: US and elsewhere in New Zealand, which is at number
Speaker 1: eleven overall. Wo oh, the youngs, the people under thirty,
Speaker 1: and both of our countries are unhappier than the rest
Speaker 1: of the population. But I am curious to just get
Speaker 1: your perspective on this.
Speaker 2: Guy.
Speaker 1: Talk about Trump's money problems. We're gonna talk about Australia's Trump.
Speaker 1: Did you are you familiar with Clive Palmer?
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a crazy guy, super rich.
Speaker 3: He's just throwing his money around. What's he doing now?
Speaker 3: I will find out.
Speaker 1: I guess we're just kind of introducing ourselves to him.
Speaker 1: We didn't know about all the crazy shit. The big
Speaker 1: one is that he wants to rebuild the Titanic exactly
Speaker 1: as before and one and you know, like he has
Speaker 1: a couple Like he's interesting because his ideas are actually
Speaker 1: the ideas that I might come up with if you like,
Speaker 1: gave me enough, enough money and enough time. Like there's
Speaker 1: some fun stuff. Another one was just like turning a
Speaker 1: adult golf course into a miniature golf course like in
Speaker 1: Caddyshack Too. You just saw Caddy Shack too and was like, yes,
Speaker 1: that that's great, right, So we'll we'll talk about that guy,
Speaker 1: new crazy rich guy just dropped all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first guy Montgomery. We do like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history or you could
Speaker 1: also tell us one of the most recent things that
Speaker 1: you've screencapped, whichever one is more revealing about who you are.
Speaker 3: From my search history. I was just looking up a
Speaker 3: penis reduction surgery. I was trying to find some affordable options.
Speaker 3: So I suppose that's a little it's probably a little revealing.
Speaker 2: What did you come up?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: It's expensive? I know I have pain.
Speaker 3: Finally someone who came in with it's tough.
Speaker 2: I know what the enlargements go for, but what are
Speaker 2: the reductions go for?
Speaker 3: You know? That's do they get you twice as much?
Speaker 3: And then they sell they sell the muscle picked people
Speaker 3: like you.
Speaker 1: A big muscular penis.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 3: I was the most recent thing was I was trying
Speaker 3: to figure out why Sundays are spelt like an ice cream.
Speaker 3: Sunday is spelt different. That's a great question. And it
Speaker 3: was a There was a German guy whose surname was
Speaker 3: Sunday in German like Luntag. I remember the word for
Speaker 3: Sunday and German, and they just he was the guy
Speaker 3: who came up with the ice cream Sunday. It was
Speaker 3: a chef and he was putting out this ice cream.
Speaker 3: There you go, and they said, we translated it. It
Speaker 3: was just spelt traditionally. And then somewhere along the way,
Speaker 3: for reasons that still remained unclear to me, they changed
Speaker 3: the why do an eat?
Speaker 2: But you know I can't. I kind of like it.
Speaker 1: I do too, But that's what a journey you just
Speaker 1: took us on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not it's like that's there is a
Speaker 3: level of detail that would demand someone doing more research
Speaker 3: because there's you know, like I can't retain information, so.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yeah, it's I guess I always assumed it
Speaker 1: was named after Sunday because that's the most indulgent day
Speaker 1: of the week.
Speaker 2: No, it's not brain, Yeah, where'd my brain go with?
Speaker 3: But the reason I was thinking about that is after
Speaker 3: you get your pen sized reduced day ice in a
Speaker 3: Sunday and.
Speaker 1: Then you get to eat all the ice cream you want. Yeah,
Speaker 1: do you are you a Are you a fan of
Speaker 1: ice cream Sundays? Personally?
Speaker 2: Well, no, I I was.
Speaker 3: It was all of my step daughter or daughter was
Speaker 3: she got a Sunday and then was just banging on
Speaker 3: about the name, and I was like, I can't. I
Speaker 3: tried to get it, you know, you try when it's
Speaker 3: like an old style challenge. I can do this just
Speaker 3: with brain. Yeah, but you know then you just make it.
Speaker 3: Then you're just lying. You I could lie much of
Speaker 3: what I could lie, which feels kind of creatively worthy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I could give you the hard data, which we're all
Speaker 3: going to forget in a week.
Speaker 2: Right, there's so many questions.
Speaker 1: So much of my day is just answering questions like
Speaker 1: that that are like they just border between like inane
Speaker 1: and then like so philosophically profound that like my brain
Speaker 1: can't recover.
Speaker 2: What's after the universe. We were we were were good.
Speaker 3: Right, We went to the circus, Like there's an incredible
Speaker 3: sort of circus from like this West African circus, and
Speaker 3: we're watching it and that we're doing the most Like,
Speaker 3: you know, they don't flips, they don't know all the
Speaker 3: all the crazy stuff they can do at the circus.
Speaker 3: And halfway through all of just leans over and whispers
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 2: She's like, I think they practiced this and that kind
Speaker 2: of ruins the magic. And I was like, oh god,
Speaker 2: she only respects improvised arts. His head's like, they didn't practice,
Speaker 2: that's all improvised. You can tell that they practiced. Any
Speaker 2: normal person would die. That's amazing. What's what's something you
Speaker 2: think is underrated? Underrated?
Speaker 3: I'd say changing your barber between every haircut?
Speaker 2: You know, Wow, I get I.
Speaker 3: Stick for that at home because Chelsea says, why would
Speaker 3: you do this? This is a decision that will have
Speaker 3: a bearing on your self worth and you know how
Speaker 3: you feel about your Yeah, yeah, And I can appreciate that.
Speaker 3: But you know, it's kind of I just see, I'm
Speaker 3: an opportunitist. I see a shop and I go in,
Speaker 3: and you know it. If it goes badly, yeah, it's disappointing,
Speaker 3: but it's also kind of funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an adventure. You can.
Speaker 3: But I had a new one the other day and
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, I'm I'm going I'm fitting out
Speaker 3: hard up the front now. And I was like, I
Speaker 3: actually I'm going back on my own underrated thing because
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, this guy, like I said, I
Speaker 3: I said to him, I said, it's craunched time up there.
Speaker 2: Let's trude carefully.
Speaker 3: And the guys like, you know, usually the wire, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're like it's okay, you know, don't worry. But this
Speaker 3: guy's like, yeah, don't worry. It comes to everyone. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're don't even going to give me a bone.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, right, right right?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Brother. He's like, yeah, man, it looks like we're in
Speaker 2: the ninety fifth minute here. Yeah, yeah, just like good too.
Speaker 1: But it is an adventure getting a haircut from someone new. Like,
Speaker 1: it's just like, turns out I didn't know what I
Speaker 1: looked like. Yeah, it look like a different person if
Speaker 1: you just changed the framing everything about me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy, but I you know, I don't I
Speaker 3: don't want to. I don't want to go bulled. It's happening.
Speaker 1: God.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: If I have a good year, I think I'll get
Speaker 3: those Biden plugs. Oh it looks like.
Speaker 2: It shuts down some of your other I'm like ural faculties. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you look like I want to go. It's like when
Speaker 2: to buy his junk? I got them? Yeah. Craft versus
Speaker 2: body rejected. The craft versus hos is my favorite. What's
Speaker 2: something you think is overrated? Overrated? Having a giant penis?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: I think I can create problems. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean I don't actually have one today, so I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna go with the joke. But you don't have
Speaker 3: a giant penis today?
Speaker 2: Yeah? A lot of it, A lot of it that's coming.
Speaker 3: Your wife is currently in a melting strawberry Sunday.
Speaker 2: I needed that fresh Kiwi muscle man they shipped it
Speaker 2: over double quick, so much more roomy, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because they don't tighten the skin, bubbles lower problems. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I can't sleep on my stomach without hearing light pops.
Speaker 2: Sounds like bubbles. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we love to laugh us.
Speaker 1: We have fun, all right, don't let's uh, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break and we'll come back and talk about
Speaker 1: the news.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: And Biden administration just announced they're sweeping new regulations on
Speaker 1: tailpipe emissions. They call for a fifty six percent reduction
Speaker 1: in fleet wide average carbon emissions by twenty thirty two,
Speaker 1: been heralded as the strictest ever limit on pollution from
Speaker 1: the nation's cars and light trucks.
Speaker 2: I hate when they fucking do this. Well, it's the
Speaker 2: strictest ever because we've never fucking done anything worthwhile prior
Speaker 2: to this, So the bar is subterranean, Like yeah, every time.
Speaker 2: If you're like it's it's the best we've ever done,
Speaker 2: it's because we haven't done any thing before this, right,
Speaker 2: and we need ur in action.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have to be raging on a slightly different
Speaker 1: curve than like get putting ourselves up against the nineteen
Speaker 1: fifties right right right right when there.
Speaker 2: We just got rid of asbestos yesterday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean, we're eighty one year
Speaker 3: old gearhead to do that, though, you know, you gotta
Speaker 3: you gotta give it to him.
Speaker 2: That would feel on the ground floor, you like, this
Speaker 2: is nothing. But for him, he's like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look music gearhead, right, Like doesn't he have like
Speaker 1: classic cars in his garage with like documents about the
Speaker 1: JFK assassination that he like forgot he had.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like in that cold Corvette or whatever they had. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so what what does it mean?
Speaker 3: It means that what some cars have to pay more tics.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, but by the time it's fully implemented in twenty
Speaker 1: fifty five, this rule.
Speaker 2: Will have, you say, okay, okay, this rule will.
Speaker 1: Have cumulatively slashed more than seven billion tons of carbon
Speaker 1: dioxide emissions by the time it's implemented to abstract joke
Speaker 1: thirty years. Yeah, and by that time, someone else will
Speaker 1: probably have instituted actual regulations that are a little bit stronger,
Speaker 1: because by then we'll be totally fucked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone who's currently fifty years old will lie will
Speaker 2: be stepping up to the plate. Yeah, I mean this
Speaker 2: was we talked about this a few weeks ago when
Speaker 2: they first began to wobble on this, and sort of
Speaker 2: suggested that maybe they were going to relax these restrictions
Speaker 2: because we talked about the time. He's like, I need
Speaker 2: help in Michigan right now. Bad. Maybe I will listen
Speaker 2: to the automakers that are lobbying me to go easy
Speaker 2: on them, and then maybe that will help shore up
Speaker 2: some support if possible, at the expense of the future
Speaker 2: of the earth obviously. But yeah, I think that's why
Speaker 2: a lot of people from the beginning, from even when
Speaker 2: they mention it, they're like, this is not good, Like
Speaker 2: you're caving right now already. When this is the thing
Speaker 2: that everyone was like, this, this is actually good news
Speaker 2: for America. But that was last spring.
Speaker 1: Some environmentals have applauded the move Miles other quote unquote
Speaker 1: environmentalists have pointed out that the regulation is much weaker
Speaker 1: than what was first proposed last spring, with less strict
Speaker 1: adherence to your overyear tightening and blah blah. You've seen Ghostbusters,
Speaker 1: you know what these people are like? Yeah, like the
Speaker 1: guy the dickless joke, that guy that's that's who's talking.
Speaker 1: Just picture that guy. Okay, okay, all right, that's who
Speaker 1: these environmentalists is. One climate activist said the regulation was
Speaker 1: full of loopholes big enough to drive a Ford f
Speaker 1: one fifty through, which is very pithy. But again, just
Speaker 1: picture the guy from Ghostbusters, like fuck this guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, that's a that's a fine line. That
Speaker 3: was fun for them. I got to a hot life, right.
Speaker 2: Environmental that this is also like kind of a wild
Speaker 2: thing too, because before this the actual regulation could have
Speaker 2: been the biggest single step of any nation on climate.
Speaker 2: It actually could have been. And then they're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just basically it's like the opposite of what Republicans
Speaker 2: do or like they come out with like the worst, fucking,
Speaker 2: most fucked up draconian bill and then they're like they're like,
Speaker 2: actually we'll do like the lesser thing, and they're like okay,
Speaker 2: and like Democrats like this is fucking revolutionary maybe just
Speaker 2: lately more just status quo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I suppose your carbon footprint, your cultural footprint is
Speaker 3: so great, but it feels, you know, historically we need
Speaker 3: the things were coming bitter out of a miracle. The
Speaker 3: propaganda machine was more powerful. The world would defer to
Speaker 3: you guys to be leaders on stuff like this.
Speaker 2: Real.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think anyone in the outside world is like, yeah,
Speaker 3: well we can America to be in charge.
Speaker 2: You know who's nailing it right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't feel like we're all sort of you know,
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel like you're you're the big dog who
Speaker 3: will look to them.
Speaker 2: We're like, you got this the right, it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a right.
Speaker 1: No that now we're the ones who export like fashion,
Speaker 1: Like you have a politician who you're like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like sort of the late you know, the diet version
Speaker 1: of MAGA, Like that's what Deputy Prime Minister is called.
Speaker 2: Winston Peters.
Speaker 3: He's like but he's a lifelong politician and he likes
Speaker 3: the way our political system works is he likes to
Speaker 3: be the king makers. So it's like it's called m
Speaker 3: MP and you vote for parties, but like if both
Speaker 3: the major parties Labor and National get a certain percentage,
Speaker 3: then they need to form a coalition. And his parties
Speaker 3: in New Zealand first, and he like he straddles historical,
Speaker 3: he straddles the political line. He's very centrist and he
Speaker 3: goes with whoever's going to give him the best job
Speaker 3: basically and so's and he's getting older now to it.
Speaker 3: He's like he's negotiates his way to deputy Prime Minister
Speaker 3: and he is just up to no good at all.
Speaker 3: He's just there's no ambition beyond you know. Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: it's like a table.
Speaker 2: Like to your point about America's influence, like America has
Speaker 2: become like Andrew Tait or something where people like, you're
Speaker 2: fucking listening to that guy, like you hear that? What
Speaker 2: are you doing? Dude?
Speaker 1: It's like Jordan Peterson said the other day, Wait what yeah?
Speaker 2: What Shut the fuck up, dude. Don't tell people that
Speaker 2: out loud, you fucking freak. Get your freaking head in
Speaker 2: the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the chicken, Like, you know, you want to
Speaker 3: see what a guy like him saying every now and then,
Speaker 3: just to be like where where is the subset of
Speaker 3: society at then you'd know if you got you click
Speaker 3: on a video on YouTube, boy of a and the
Speaker 3: algorithm can't discernd like irony, I guess or tone. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So it's like you listen to one thirty second clip
Speaker 3: and it's like, oh, if you like that, you might
Speaker 3: also love this, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, I do. Just want to.
Speaker 1: So the environmentalists from Ghostbusters, I that movie really did
Speaker 1: fuck my whole ship up. Made by a libertarian. That
Speaker 1: movie was made like openly libertarian, like right wingers like
Speaker 1: during the eighties. So I guess that's not that shocking.
Speaker 1: But that character is back in the new Ghostbusters movie
Speaker 1: again shitting on the Ghostbusters and claiming like not yeah,
Speaker 1: Like in the new preview for the latest Ghostbusters he's like, no,
Speaker 1: there were no eyewitnesses to what they did. They claim
Speaker 1: they save the world, but nobody believes them. So like again,
Speaker 1: they're just like doubling down on this character who's an environmental.
Speaker 1: Environmental is like bureaucrat the one thing that's like standing
Speaker 1: between us in complete ruination, and they're like, ah, fuck
Speaker 1: this guy, am I right.
Speaker 3: That's great, that's great. There's another Ghostbuster's coming out. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we needed that. We needed that too. I worry, you know,
Speaker 3: I know we're going to get to these under thirties,
Speaker 3: but it's like I will have nothing to feel nostalgic
Speaker 3: about because all of the media that that've been weaned
Speaker 3: on is our own nostalgia, and you know what's lived.
Speaker 2: You kind of just keep cannibalizing the same thing forever?
Speaker 3: Can you you kind do a nostrategic reboot of this Ghostbusters?
Speaker 2: Right? That is right? Right? Yeah.
Speaker 1: We talked yesterday about how private equity companies are taking
Speaker 1: over the music industry and they've completely given up on
Speaker 1: like investing in new music. They're just buying old song
Speaker 1: catalogs and then like making like musician biopics about them.
Speaker 3: And yeah, you hear all these like electronic Boston Ova
Speaker 3: rerups of seventies classics into the all elevated music and
Speaker 3: the will to sit to Now.
Speaker 1: What if this Elton John song also had dua lipa
Speaker 1: singing on it? That would be new technically, right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: why did Elton John think of that?
Speaker 2: They're gonna You're gonna love this Queen featuring twenty one
Speaker 2: Savage track Mama twenty one, Mama Mama twenty one.
Speaker 1: Nothing is different except he's just in the background. All right.
Speaker 1: Oh god, let's get to those under thirties.
Speaker 2: So big news.
Speaker 1: New happiness numbers just dropped. The US continues to plummet
Speaker 1: down the charts, and it's not because of our over
Speaker 1: sixties their top.
Speaker 2: Ten happiness Dude, they're going weren't they climbing up the charts.
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, baby, Well when you look at like
Speaker 1: how they've like the baby boomers have just like held
Speaker 1: on to their money and held on to power, and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it kind of like if if you wanted to make
Speaker 1: a materialistic argument for like the philosophical materialism argument for
Speaker 1: around this, it would be pretty easy because the people
Speaker 1: who are most unhappy are the under thirties who have
Speaker 1: terrible job prospects.
Speaker 3: And it feels vindictive for the August sixties to be
Speaker 3: getting happier.
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, I think it's like a great example
Speaker 2: of how like wealth redistributions. It's like, it's also happy,
Speaker 2: we're taking your happiness from down here and now it's
Speaker 2: ours and it's so fucking great. We drink your milkshake
Speaker 2: and it's fun. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the US is at twenty three, twenty third
Speaker 1: happiest overall, and the sixty and older are tenth happiest.
Speaker 1: The thirty and under are sixty second happiest. See, they're
Speaker 1: coming in at sixty two, like far unhappier than anyone
Speaker 1: Else's thirty and under in the top, in the top
Speaker 1: twenty five.
Speaker 3: That's that is unbelievably low, isn't it. Yeah, it's Canada's
Speaker 3: also pretty unhappy. They're down there with us at fifty eight,
Speaker 3: but they're y.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's by osmosis. Where's Mexico. I don't know
Speaker 2: where Mexico is actually trying to think of like how
Speaker 2: radioactive it is.
Speaker 1: So Mexico is coming in at twenty five. There are
Speaker 1: two spots behind us in the overall unhappiness, but they're
Speaker 1: thirty and unders are the twenty second happiest in the world.
Speaker 1: They're sixty and older are thirty thirty third, So okay,
Speaker 1: so they're actually like on the same in the same
Speaker 1: general region. They're not sixty second, Like, they're not incredibly
Speaker 1: unhappy at young ages and then incredibly happy at older ages.
Speaker 3: That the family next door, that strong family unit they've
Speaker 3: always looked at being like, why can't we be more
Speaker 3: like that? That's crumbling, and they're like, it's actually, it's
Speaker 3: pretty it's not so bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: In New Zealand, you guys are kind of in the
Speaker 1: same boat in that your oldsters sixty and older are
Speaker 1: sixth happiest while you're.
Speaker 2: Thirty and a creaming it.
Speaker 3: They are locking our entire country out of the housing market,
Speaker 3: the only ones who can afford groceries. Yeah yeah, and
Speaker 3: they and there guys, these three guys, they all got
Speaker 3: into government, so they'll be you know, they're creaming themselves
Speaker 3: up and down the country on these eight line highways
Speaker 3: that government are persisted building.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Eight wow, I do.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, first of all, eightlen highways
Speaker 1: are sick.
Speaker 2: We have them all over the US.
Speaker 3: And there's actually an exaggeration in New Zeeland by realized
Speaker 3: in your country, that's a real thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. He came up with the most obscene number he could.
Speaker 2: We're like, oh, yeah, yeah, you've just been on the expansion.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it's you try and cut arist one of
Speaker 1: those makes you feel alive.
Speaker 2: It's a hard lean eat to the exit.
Speaker 3: Any young person who is torturing themselves by being cognizant
Speaker 3: or even peripherally aware of what is happening in the
Speaker 3: world in our specific countries, I think, of course, you know,
Speaker 3: and those are the people who are going to fill
Speaker 3: out these questionnaires or these reforms respond to They're going
Speaker 3: to be yeah, they're going to be unhappy.
Speaker 2: But the people we're not talking to other people who
Speaker 2: are oblivious who are drunk?
Speaker 3: Are you too drunk to fill out those those people
Speaker 3: are happy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say that I don't think happiness is
Speaker 1: a good goal for anyone, So I think I think
Speaker 1: this is like I think sometimes people react to these
Speaker 1: sorts of things and are like, well, young people just
Speaker 1: don't know how good they have it, and like they
Speaker 1: should find a way to be more happy. By God,
Speaker 1: why don't you go outside more? And it's like, well,
Speaker 1: you've built, you've like kind of bricked us into our
Speaker 1: homes with like roads that aren't walkable and no public spaces.
Speaker 2: But theah, we should too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes bad shit happens. Sometimes you're living in a
Speaker 1: world with bad values, and you're stuck inside a system
Speaker 1: that like values corporations over your ability to for instance,
Speaker 1: feel safe when going to school. And the problem in
Speaker 1: that completely hypothetical scenario is not your unhappiness. Your unhappiness
Speaker 1: is the same reaction to that scenario.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I.
Speaker 1: Do think it's interesting that the US just continues to
Speaker 1: fall down these charts.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just also funny, like you'd think at
Speaker 2: some point when people, if they were concerned, they're like,
Speaker 2: how do we get like the top spot Finland right again,
Speaker 2: like what and they say and then they go and
Speaker 2: they dig deep. What is it about Finland? What are
Speaker 2: they saying makes them so fucking happy? The high levels
Speaker 2: of social support?
Speaker 1: The fuck are you so happy about Finland in the
Speaker 1: middle of the chest because they help you out with ship?
Speaker 3: Okay, dude? Ye was that year paid paternity and maternity
Speaker 3: leave you little cus?
Speaker 2: Yeah? In America? In America, you gotta be balling as
Speaker 2: fuck if you get cancer because that ship is expensive.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 3: Yeah, try that. That's one of the last things. Hey,
Speaker 3: you one of the last things you want to do
Speaker 3: is get sick. You're got even freaking mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can be sick, dude, work till the wheels
Speaker 1: fall off. Learn a lesson from Boeing. Yeah, Lithuania has
Speaker 1: the happiest young people, presume because they just loved to
Speaker 1: hoop so much.
Speaker 2: And it's a.
Speaker 1: Little of basketball hoop up pretty much anywhere than other
Speaker 1: grateful dead stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Was it just that one Olympics when they had
Speaker 2: those those uniforms that were that was that was so sad?
Speaker 1: But just having been both places, guy, any any thoughts
Speaker 1: on like a difference in the happiness of say, New
Speaker 1: Zealand and the United States. Any any differences you.
Speaker 3: Notice just generally, I think in it energetically we were
Speaker 3: quite different people.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: I do think that this happiness thing is generational, and
Speaker 3: you know, I think it's a I can't see any
Speaker 3: way that the trend is going to stop, So I think,
Speaker 3: I mean in terms of the understand I am. I
Speaker 3: am almost woefully out of touch with the with the youth.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't really know. I don't know where
Speaker 2: they're at.
Speaker 3: I think everyone's battling because it's where in the cost
Speaker 3: of living crisis here and it is unbelievably expensive, and
Speaker 3: there appears to be no respite for the people who
Speaker 3: need it, like they're not, are you?
Speaker 2: How does that like manifest with like teenagers? You know,
Speaker 2: because like I feel like you look at.
Speaker 3: The when you're when you're thirty five years old and
Speaker 3: you don't have a teenage child or you know, they're
Speaker 3: a very difficult group to hang out with without looking
Speaker 3: unbelievably suspect.
Speaker 2: But I mean, like you know, in passing, when you're
Speaker 2: in the town square, yeah backwards cap and my music
Speaker 2: band T shirt. No, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think I mean in terms of energetically, is they
Speaker 3: even just an Auckland Like last year we had the
Speaker 3: through summer, which is our summer now, which we're on
Speaker 3: the tailing of its tunnel Inergentately, it feels good here
Speaker 3: because last year the climate was so destroyed. We had
Speaker 3: historic flooding and it rained for the entirety of the summer.
Speaker 3: And so I mean, this isn't even interesting, but this
Speaker 3: is just what it does is a city where this
Speaker 3: year we had good weather. And so even though feels
Speaker 3: like the infrastructure around us is collapsing because of who's
Speaker 3: the power and the decisions they're making, it's like the
Speaker 3: energy is a little bit better. You know, person to person,
Speaker 3: everyone's walking around, is this smiling one? Yeah, but I
Speaker 3: think you know, privately, everyone's struggling getting out of doors.
Speaker 3: But you know, and then if I think of him,
Speaker 3: I think, if I think of in America, I can
Speaker 3: see why you would be unhappy because it feels like
Speaker 3: you've got no agency to do anything to improve anything. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, the happiest people are so old and also
Speaker 3: holding on to power and control so aggressively. So what
Speaker 3: do you what are you meant to do?
Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Biden says he doesn't have power and
Speaker 1: agency to do anything he when he tries to damn,
Speaker 1: my hands are tired. What do you don want me
Speaker 1: to do?
Speaker 2: Man? This net and Yahoo guy man? I told him,
Speaker 2: hey Jack, yeah, you better knock it off. Bone what
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to do? But anyway, Yeah, I just sent
Speaker 2: a few more missiles. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Watching six months of leaks where it says Biden has
Speaker 3: become I'm increasingly impatient.
Speaker 6: Yeah, good on you, bro. Yeah, thanks the revolution. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I watched pot never boy. All right, so everybody just
Speaker 6: chill out. Let Joe cook.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's so incremental. I feel like the
Speaker 2: next headline like that is going to be like privately,
Speaker 2: Joe Biden is quote pretty ticked off at and it's like, eh, okay, yeah.
Speaker 3: I can't cook under pressure. Yeah yeah, everybody, get out
Speaker 3: of the kitchen.
Speaker 2: Let's get out of the kitchen so I can get
Speaker 2: my mind straight and figure out if untold death of
Speaker 2: innocence is a good or bad thing. Just give me
Speaker 2: a moment, Give me a moment. And there's these damn
Speaker 2: induction hobs. Yeah, I can't figure out these inductionals.
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Well, go take a walk for
Speaker 1: your own happiness, but also don't don't make happiness for
Speaker 1: goal because uh sometimes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you'll lose. Need to be happy. Yeah, let's
Speaker 2: uh happiness, your happiness.
Speaker 3: You know the concept that we're all told about that
Speaker 3: dude just trying to be happiness.
Speaker 1: Nah, just accidentally stumble into it. Yeah, all right, let's uh,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about somebody who seems very happy. His name is
Speaker 1: Clive Palmer. He is an Australian billionaire and he's he's
Speaker 1: got a lot of Trump in him. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back and sing it out.
Speaker 2: The Titanic has been in the news.
Speaker 1: For years now, since who knows when, probably like right
Speaker 1: after they were like, we're sending an unsinkable ship across
Speaker 1: the Atlantic.
Speaker 2: I feel like he's already big news when they said,
Speaker 2: but boy, when it actually sunk the first time, that
Speaker 2: must have been Wow. Man, one hundred, one hundred and
Speaker 2: twelve year news streak, this thing's on. Yeah, I can't
Speaker 2: believe it. Yeah, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: So it's been in the news recently because, first of all,
Speaker 1: there's a guy in Florida who has a room full
Speaker 1: of nearly three thousand Titanic VHS tapes and multiple homemade
Speaker 1: Jack Dawson fuck mannequins. Oh yeah, are mannikins? Yeah they are.
Speaker 2: They are anatomically incorrect. Just the neck, Yeah, this one
Speaker 2: looks like Grady dick On, like fucking Draft Night with
Speaker 2: the long neck. Well you could. Yeah, who's gonna tell
Speaker 2: him that? You know, he's been working on this. This
Speaker 2: is the one thing he's doing. Yeaeah. This is this
Speaker 2: guy who said it. He said Titanic has always been
Speaker 2: my favorite film, and I've converted my home office in
Speaker 2: Florida into my personal Titanic museum. The twenty six hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty two tapes cover my walls like wallpaper. I
Speaker 2: have my own Jack Dawson mannequin too. What are the
Speaker 2: other two things? Then? If he only has one mannequin?
Speaker 3: I think it was based on a true story. This
Speaker 3: guy doesn't even he's not even a fan of the boat.
Speaker 3: He just likes the movie.
Speaker 1: He's a fan of only the VHS's yea, yeah, never
Speaker 1: seen it.
Speaker 2: I just like these little tapes. They come in the
Speaker 2: double tape box. I think it's kind of neat.
Speaker 1: That was a fun thing at one point on the
Speaker 1: internet having like seeing people on social media, like young
Speaker 1: people find out that Titanic was based on a true story,
Speaker 1: like wait.
Speaker 7: What are you fucking will there like yeah, way no,
Speaker 7: they like one about the James Cameron one with the
Speaker 7: with the boat thinking that yeah no, and tell me
Speaker 7: Avatar wasn't based on a real story.
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, right.
Speaker 3: So this guy Clive Palma, yeah, he's also a Titanic fan,
Speaker 3: if isn't.
Speaker 1: Huge Titanic fan, and he is really launching so he's
Speaker 1: a fan of the boat itself. Just yeah, he is
Speaker 1: relaunching his Titanic two. The two is typically using Roman
Speaker 1: numerals project, despite the fact that his plans to pinstanely
Speaker 1: recreate the doomed cruise ship have failed twice before. Not
Speaker 1: to mention, people might be a tad wary of any
Speaker 1: Titanic based tourism promoted by reckless billionaires these days.
Speaker 2: I feel like, was that that was the last one?
Speaker 2: Was really bad?
Speaker 3: Isn't it like a bunch of people whole life yep, yep, exactly.
Speaker 2: We don't have enough life rafts. There are engineering problems.
Speaker 1: Everything that will be exactly the same, and then we'll
Speaker 1: just see if.
Speaker 3: Annoyed he's gonna be when he's gonna try and sell
Speaker 3: this thing into an iceberg that has melted.
Speaker 2: It's like.
Speaker 1: The fuck just for a slushy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, or they're pretty soon next you're like, oh, man,
Speaker 2: they're bringing back United flight ninety three. If you guys
Speaker 2: want to hop on that, it could be really fucking cool.
Speaker 2: Mark Wahlberg's on there though, He's like, yeah, don't worry, folks.
Speaker 3: This hits a lot of intriguing chick points, you know, Like,
Speaker 3: I think anyone who's watched the movie and being stoned
Speaker 3: enough is on board with what's happening here.
Speaker 2: I'm in on this one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I watched the movie not Stoned, and I'm kind of like,
Speaker 1: I would, all things being equal, if I like had
Speaker 1: just ridiculous wealth, I would probably go on this firm.
Speaker 1: But then would you stay in steerage? Because I like that.
Speaker 2: He's also like trying to make just even every class
Speaker 2: sort of like be you know, historically accurate, so third
Speaker 2: class that serves stew and mash and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that sounds all.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, man, stews sounds good. Unfortunately, I've always identified
Speaker 1: in that movie most with Billy Zayn's character, so that's
Speaker 1: probably what I'd be doing, just Billy's aye in it.
Speaker 3: Fully hell yeah, yelling at the people in steerage and
Speaker 3: this is I mean, this is so it's so brazen
Speaker 3: and like idiotic. It's it's kind of a nice you know,
Speaker 3: it's a nice it's a nice use of a billionaires
Speaker 3: time and resource. It's a waste of energy, and of
Speaker 3: course it could go to something a lot more constructive,
Speaker 3: but you just got to know that that's off the
Speaker 3: table from the outset. So it's like instead of trying
Speaker 3: to get himself back into Australian Parliament or pumping a
Speaker 3: bunch of money, which I'm sure he's doing in the
Speaker 3: background anyway. And to you know, the Conservative Party is
Speaker 3: it's like, if you're going to just stand up here
Speaker 3: and be like, I got this insane vanity project. I
Speaker 3: want to rebuild a boat, the most famous boat that's
Speaker 3: saying yeah, good on you, bro, Yeah go for it.
Speaker 1: It's really yeah, Like I think I don't like, I
Speaker 1: don't know enough about this. I'm just kind of finding
Speaker 1: out about Clive Palmer. I do think this is a
Speaker 1: level of imagination and fun that is beyond to Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Like Donald Trump would never he would never be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do everything the same. He'd be like, everything's
Speaker 1: gonna be gold and yeah gold Titanic, and it will
Speaker 1: only serve it will only serve. Trump steaks, you know,
Speaker 1: likes loss so quickly, whereas like just the idea of
Speaker 1: sticking to all the details of this is actually kind
Speaker 1: of fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I also just like to like his explanation, like
Speaker 2: you've been kind of doing this project off and on,
Speaker 2: Like what's the difference. I said, the plan is more
Speaker 2: real than ever because quote, I've got more money. Now.
Speaker 1: Let's just say the pandemic was very very good to
Speaker 1: meet on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he made I think he was a real
Speaker 3: estate agent and then he retired at twenty nine. Was
Speaker 3: his in you know, so he got he got rich
Speaker 3: at the right time in the right place. I think
Speaker 3: he's you know, flipping houses in the eighties or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just think it's a it's a fun, cartoonish old
Speaker 3: style of being a billion or a millionaire, you know,
Speaker 3: is the more timely association with the money, Like if
Speaker 3: that's all he's wanted to do, this whole time.
Speaker 2: Power to him. It's not he's a bad guy, but
Speaker 2: he's doing something cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's probably a massive piece of shit and he is.
Speaker 3: Undoubtedly this guy is was he like doing coal mining
Speaker 3: or something and he's like involved in mining too. He
Speaker 3: will have got into mining. He real you know, like
Speaker 3: it's it's ridiculous. He's a real estate agent. He's a
Speaker 3: real estate agent at the right time. Got rich by circumstance,
Speaker 3: and then that abused people with the self belief that
Speaker 3: they are intelligent operators and yeh know how the world
Speaker 3: works because they were just in a specific moment in
Speaker 3: time and they got one thing right, and the flowing
Speaker 3: effect was that they are suddenly ultra wealthy and they're like,
Speaker 3: you know, money does not correlate to intelligence at all.
Speaker 2: But tried telling that to a billionaire.
Speaker 1: We'll see if he has if he goes through with
Speaker 1: his other plan of doing the Challenger too with he
Speaker 1: so his other idea that he's had in the past, well,
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven, he bought a prestigious golf resort which
Speaker 1: was home to the Australian PGA, and filled it with
Speaker 1: animatronic dinosaurs, including a life sized t Rex between the
Speaker 1: Ninth Green and the Tenth Green. That's right again, like
Speaker 1: this is fucking awesome.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 3: The movies he's going for are ones Titanic and it
Speaker 3: goes so yeah, yeah, or even Jurassic Park. Was like
Speaker 3: that's a good idea, you know, the midster Jurassic Park
Speaker 3: is not. We should have dinosaur parks. Yeah, especially Titanic
Speaker 3: because like this boat was awesome.
Speaker 1: You just saw the first the first half of like
Speaker 1: every movie and oh yeah, he goes, yeah, right, they
Speaker 1: get to Jurassic Park.
Speaker 2: He's like, I've seen enough enough. Maybe you know, they
Speaker 2: get on the boat. He's like yeah, boats, boats, boats.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Like no, he's like, no, I have an idea. We
Speaker 2: need fucking dinosaurs on the golf courses. That's where Hammond
Speaker 2: went wrong.
Speaker 3: Who knows more about golf course of dinosaurs some with
Speaker 3: ten billion dollars or someone who's watching the whole movie.
Speaker 2: Like that. It was called palmer Saurus. It's like not
Speaker 2: even like the name of a park. He just called
Speaker 2: it Palmer. That's good.
Speaker 3: See because again Trump would be Trump Dinosaur or you know, right,
Speaker 3: he's trying something, right.
Speaker 1: He also the dinosaur, the life sized t rex. He
Speaker 1: named Jeff, and then yeah, Jeff, he said, claimed Jeff
Speaker 1: is just the first taste of Palmersaurus, an outdoor exhibit
Speaker 1: of one hundred and sixty two scale robotic dinosaurs that roar, slink,
Speaker 1: sluggishly moved their limbs and slowly gnashed their teeth.
Speaker 2: Can't be too much of a distraction on the golf course,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, that's what he's still still
Speaker 2: there's still a sense of decoruma out there when someone's
Speaker 2: trying to put scaring the two rigs.
Speaker 1: But the reason he's referred to as Australias Trump beyond
Speaker 1: being a you know, quote unquote billionaire who's lost his
Speaker 1: grasp of reality. He's also gotten into politics and he's
Speaker 1: a former NP. Yeah, launched a campaign with the slogan
Speaker 1: make Australia great it was never great before, so that
Speaker 1: they yeah, yeah, there's an honesty there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I just also like that he's he's so
Speaker 2: like hair brained that he fully went in on the
Speaker 2: fucking hydroxychloricony and by ten imported tens of millions of
Speaker 2: doses of hy hydroxychlorical when to donate to the Australian government,
Speaker 2: quote as enthusiasm for the drug.
Speaker 1: Waned, Wait what happened? But what's going on with this market?
Speaker 1: I thought I understood markets.
Speaker 2: I'm aaire, Oh the enthusiasm is waning or it was
Speaker 2: horseshit to begin with, I'm rather horse peaced to begin with.
Speaker 2: Sorry you Yeah, he said five million doses had to
Speaker 2: be destroyed because no one wanted to even claimed them
Speaker 2: at the airport. So I just love that. It's also
Speaker 2: like really fucking terrible swings and missus too. It's not
Speaker 2: like this sort of like Koch Brothers type shit. It's like,
Speaker 2: no palm resaurus, that's Jeff hydroxychlorin millions of doses. Oh, no,
Speaker 2: one wants them.
Speaker 3: Whatever he's he has like, while all this is happening,
Speaker 3: he has taken time out of his busy schedule being
Speaker 3: a fun sort of style here brain billionaire to disrupt
Speaker 3: progress in Australia and a variety of wheys. I think
Speaker 3: he pubbed a lot of money. They had to referend
Speaker 3: him on whether or not they should have an indigenous
Speaker 3: voice in Parliament. The vote yes to referend them or
Speaker 3: vote no, you know, to the whole country. It was
Speaker 3: it's a flawed process. He sunk a bunch of his
Speaker 3: money into the No campaign to say Indigenous Indigenous popular
Speaker 3: shouldn't have representation. Yeah, so he's it's not you know,
Speaker 3: it's not all that win. Yeah, the country voted no.
Speaker 3: It was a very devastating moment for like, and so
Speaker 3: you know, when he's it's important that his Brian reminds
Speaker 3: flattered with these sort of fun distractions, because when he's
Speaker 3: not working on his vanity projects, he's full xenophobia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not even xenophobia. Yeah yeah, yeah, you're you're
Speaker 2: the colonist and his core.
Speaker 3: He's a bad guy, but on the surface, on the
Speaker 3: right day, he's probably quite a good chat.
Speaker 2: That's then I think that's sort of like the the
Speaker 2: thing that makes these kinds of characters like effective. It's
Speaker 2: like they're like, no, they're actually advocating for some evil shit.
Speaker 2: They're like, no, man, dude, he wants to build fucking
Speaker 2: he likes t rexes and ship it's called Jeff like that.
Speaker 2: It's like the like George Bush, Like you know, Bush
Speaker 2: two really gave us that taste of that where they're like,
Speaker 2: this guy's a fucking danger and everything. It's like, dude,
Speaker 2: he's just a goof man, don't worry, it's like he's
Speaker 2: destroying the Okay, Yeah, he's a bit of a laugh though.
Speaker 1: Keeps pitching me on a public transport overhaul where all
Speaker 1: the buses blow up on if they go under fifty
Speaker 1: five miles per hour.
Speaker 3: I was trying to get a blimp to fly between
Speaker 3: Australia and New Zealand. Called that the Pamaburg two.
Speaker 1: He's also so the thing that happens with billionaires is
Speaker 1: they get rich, become convinced that they're right about everything
Speaker 1: and the like, they deserve to be rich because they're
Speaker 1: the smartest person who's ever lived, and then they're so
Speaker 1: rich at that point that nobody can tell them otherwise. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so, for instance, he did the hydroxychloroquin thing during
Speaker 1: the pandemic. Also tried to sue the government over COVID
Speaker 1: related travel restrictions. Has bankrolled multiple lawsuits contesting COVID vaccine requirements. Incidentally,
Speaker 1: when he did catch COVID, he got double pneumonia as
Speaker 1: a result and had to go to the hospital.
Speaker 2: And nearly died.
Speaker 1: And they were like, so, do you have any regret
Speaker 1: about not having the vaccine? He's like, no, of course,
Speaker 1: of course I don't restrictions I'm unvaccinated no longer apply
Speaker 1: to me. Also, so I'm winning this one because I
Speaker 1: got it. So I no longer I'm immunized with a
Speaker 1: lot more, with a lot more coffin and splash. Right,
Speaker 1: what's double pneumonia?
Speaker 2: Oh? Man, twice intense? I can't even imagine. I just
Speaker 2: I just like when like there's a medical condition, but
Speaker 2: it's the altar, like the the modifiers. Just double the
Speaker 2: five year old name the disease. Oh, it's because both
Speaker 2: of your lungs are infected. Okay, got it, got it?
Speaker 2: Got it makes sense?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but double compound compound pneumonia, It's like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: got yeah, I got double ear infection. That that actually
Speaker 1: makes sense if you said double ammonion nutcakebacks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
